569fury. scar on lip

The two men's eyes were fixed on each other as if they were nailed to each other..

“…….”

“…….”

This was the first man Baek Soo-ryong had ever seen in both his current and past lives. He wore a wide, dark blue long robe and a sword at his waist. Aside from the scar around his mouth, his prayers were so ordinary that they were hard to distinguish from the countless warriors on the street..

However, the moment he faced his opponent, Baek Soo-ryong felt the murderous intent boiling within him. He smiled eerily without even realizing it..

‘kill.’

As soon as he made his decision, Baek Su-ryong hid his life. And naturally, I started walking towards the other person..

It was the first time I felt this much desire to kill a stranger as soon as I saw him..

It wasn't an attempt to kill out of any necessity. Just a desperate desire to kill. My instincts whispered that I must destroy that being. The fingers are lightly relaxed and ready to hold the sword at any time..

‘don't miss it.’

White Water Dragon walked at a speed that was neither slow nor fast..

The man was still watching Baek Soo-ryong with interest, without moving from his spot..

The scar that looked like an earthworm wriggling around the corner of my twisted mouth was very annoying..

The distance between the two narrowed little by little..

The distance, which was about ten feet long, was suddenly reduced to half. There were hundreds of people passing between them, but the White Water Dragon could see nothing except the other party..

However, sometimes obstacles made Baek Su-ryong stop walking. he didn't like it.

‘It's disturbing. I need to get rid of everything..’

It was a simple decision. White Water Dragon's right hand naturally lifted up, and the wind that started under his feet began to slowly spread in all directions in a circle..

Wow!……!

The wind suddenly began to blow, causing the warriors with sensitive senses to startle and look around..

The man who was still watching Baek Su-ryong opened his mouth..

“here?”

Stop.

It was the moment when I was about to close the space and attack my opponent in one step. In response to the other person's question, Baek Soo-ryong stopped and slowly looked around..

“…….”

The city was still noisy.

There were hundreds of people gathered around them..

Merchants and passers-by bargaining at stalls.

Jeomsoyi soliciting customers for the festival and drunken customers talking loudly.

The warriors who came from afar to see the Emperor Cheonmu and the young warriors who followed them..

I could also feel the presence of the child who had given me the sweets from not far away. I was getting scolded by my father for munching on a snack I don't know where it came from in my mouth..

“…….”

Recognizing the scenery surrounding him, Baeksu-ryong gathered energy. Only then did the warriors who were wary of the surroundings tilt their heads and start walking their respective paths..

‘what did i do…….’

Baek Soo-ryong’s expression became distorted..

Just now, he tried to leave with all his might, regardless of the surrounding situation..

Even though I knew that a single gesture from a world-class expert could lay waste to dozens of areas within a radius..

Then, the man's voice was heard again..

“Is progress being slower than expected? or not…….”

When Baek Soo-ryong turned his head to look at the man, he said in a slightly surprised tone..

“Did you resist even when it got to that point??”

Every time I spoke, the wound around my mouth twitched unpleasantly..

Baeksu-ryong, who had barely calmed down his fierce anger again, asked in a calm voice..

“who are you?”

“Cheonmugyeol.”

With the answer, this time Cheon Mu-gyeol walked towards Baeksu-ryong..

A gait so ordinary that it is believable even if one has not learned martial arts..

So Baek Soo-ryong became even more nervous..

Because that ordinary step meant that the other person was an expert who had reached the level of perfect refutation and return to truth..

‘Cheonmugyeol?’

Baek Soo-ryong’s eyebrows twitched at the unfamiliar but familiar name..

But what was more important right now was the presence of the other person..

He was now feeling a tension that he had never felt even when he was together with the Buddha, the Murim Lord, and the Lord of Cheonmuhak..

‘Measure... … It won't work.’

One thing we can be sure of is that the man named Cheon Moo-gyeol is a super expert, no less than the peerless experts known as the Ten Zones..

“If you heard my name, isn't it time to tell you your name??”

Cheon Mu-gyeol tilted his head crookedly and asked..

The distance between the two was now only one page. For world-class experts, it was as close as they could feel their opponent's breath..

‘Let's calm down.’

Baek Soo-ryong’s eyes calmed down. His greatest strength was his ability to calmly look around in any situation and make a decision after observing the other person..

‘Now I'm wearing a bast face mask. He can't know that I'm a white water dragon..’

Of course, you would have noticed that I used a bast face mask..

But it is impossible to see through the face inside..

Baek Soo-ryong decided to take a look at his opponent first..

“It's Jangsam.”

“Why are you doing this?.”

Cheon Mu-gyeol smiled fiercely and glared at Baek Su-ryong..

And at that moment, a transparent curtain surrounding the two people unfolded..

“See you later. Teacher Baek Soo-ryong.”

“…….”

Baek Su-ryong felt the same intense life as himself from beyond Cheon Moo-gyeol's eyes glaring at him. Cheon Moo-gyeol was also barely able to endure it..

Baek Soo-ryong, who was silent for a moment, soon smiled and made a suggestion..

“How about moving places? If two guys keep staring at each other in the middle of the street, it would look suspicious to anyone..”

Cheon Mu-gyeol also nodded obediently..

“Even if that's not the case, there are people who have been keeping an eye on this area for a while. Can you beat him without being noticed without using martial arts??”

“……Are you talking to me now? This is fresh again.”

“Let’s take a look at the skills that were only rumored..”

The two people turned at the same time and instantly blended into the crowd of people on the street..

And after a while, the group watching them looked around in panic..

“what? where did you go?”

“Those guys earlier. I thought it was definitely going to be a fight.…….”

“her! It's like a ghost crying!”

As so many warriors gathered in Hubei, the eyes of the Murim League, Gyeonggi, Haomun, and government troops were everywhere..

It was a measure to prepare for the possible infiltration of a blood cult or a conflict between warriors. If you see even the slightest sign of suspicious behavior, take action immediately..

“There is no trace of martial arts use at all.…….”

“I think I just couldn't find it because I was mixed in with the crowd..”

“Do it. There should be more people.”

Although the warriors felt uneasy about something, they no longer paid attention to looking for the two people. Because they disappeared without causing much trouble..

The warriors who missed the two people didn't realize it, but they escaped the gaze that was fixed on them in a surprisingly similar way..

And after a while.

“It's pretty good.”

“It's you.”

The two men, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared in the same place. He looked like he was wearing a little disguise..

There was a faint admiration in the way they looked at each other. They avoided the eyes of observers and did not lose sight of their opponents. Watching how they move and act, they competed with wit and wit instead of martial arts..

But couldn't win.

“There weren't any empty bars around here. Did you find it on the other side??”

When Baek Soo-ryong, who had visited the taverns in the area in that short period of time, spoke first, Cheon Moo-gyeol shook his head..

“It wasn't here either. I'd rather walk.”

The two naturally walked the night streets of Hubei at regular intervals. It was still crowded with a lot of people..

Chapter 1 (一丈)).

They felt it instinctively. If the gap between you and your opponent narrows to within a day, life or death can begin at any time..

The moment the barely calmed down explosion explodes, this entire area will be devastated..

‘He's dangerous..’

Baek Soo-ryong searched for his opponent while maintaining a close distance from Cheon Mu-gyeol. I did not miss even the smallest body habits, such as gait, inhalation and exhalation..

In order to elicit a reaction, he deliberately exposed gaps, changed his stride slightly, or guided people to crowded places..

And soon I realized.

‘this guy… … . Same as me.’

The flow of thoughts and actions are eerily similar..

I felt like I was a fellow student of the same teacher..

They were gathering information about each other just by observing each other closely, without any conversation..

“It's more unpleasant than I imagined..”

“That's what I want to say.”

Not giving each other a single gap, and constantly looking for opportunities to attack the other if they show even the slightest loophole..

White Water Dragon was well aware of the only group that had to seek survival in this way..

“Was there a guy like you in the current blood religion?.”

The conversation between the two men began with a surprise unfolding..

Cheon Mu-gyeol answered Baek Su-ryong’s question with a question..

“To what extent have you mastered Reverse Heaven Shingung? Eight stars? composition?”

“The name Cheon Moo-gyeol. I remembered. The only new instructor at Cheonmuhakkwan to pass the exam this year. All other candidates were eliminated?”

“My breathing is deep, but my eyes become cloudy every now and then. I feel like I'm starting to see a limit..”

“Does the head of Cheonmuhak know that you are from a blood religion? Or is Cheonmuhakgwanju also part of the same group??”

It couldn't be called a conversation at all. We said only what we wanted to say and watched the other person's reaction..

This was because both were masters at deceiving the other. It didn't really matter what I answered, because they wouldn't believe me no matter what I said..

Determine the authenticity based solely on your own judgment and intuition. Using the information obtained in this way, find out the other person's weaknesses..

This time it was White Water Dragon's turn..

“The scar on your lip. You paid it yourself..”

“…….”

For the first time, Cheon Mu-gyeol was silent. One corner of his mouth quirked up as if he was interested. The scar wriggled accordingly..

Baek Soo-ryong was confident that he had guessed correctly..

“It was probably to escape from the blood cult. If a precious body that could have been a blood demon candidate committed suicide, there would have been an uproar, and the confusion would have increased according to the planned plan. Did you escape the religious cult like that??”

“……Interesting. How did you guess that??”

Cheon Moo-gyeol, who did not notice any change in his expression, smiled, revealing his white teeth. This time, it was an admission that he had taken a hit..

“It wasn't easy. If you hadn't met one of the children you saved, you wouldn't have known until the end..”

- It was a boy with a scar like an earthworm around the corner of his mouth. I really hated the blood religion... … . I thought it might be you.

A story I heard from Byeokgwi when I went to Akingok. The reasoning started from there..

Baek Soo-ryong somewhat relaxed his guard and spoke to Cheon Moo-gyeol..

“Cheon Moo-gyeol. If you want to eliminate blood religion, cooperate with me. I have no intention of becoming a blood demon..”

“……That's not something you can decide..”

Cheon Mu-gyeol stared at Baek Su-ryong with cold, sunken eyes..

The two people suddenly stopped and looked at each other..

“I am… … I will eliminate the blood demon..”

Terrible emotions were swirling in Cheon Mu-gyeol's voice..

Right now, Cheon Mu-gyeol was conflicted about whether he should kill Baek Su-ryong or leave him like this..

Baek Su-ryong snorted, clearly feeling the murderous intent..

“The dream is too wild.”

Cheon Mu-gyeol chuckled at that one word. He said, letting out a long sigh in the cold night air..

“……Just leave today. I don't think it's time yet.”

Cheon Moo-gyeol turned and walked slowly through the crowd. In an instant, the figure disappeared into the crowd of people..

“Oh, just one piece of advice..”

Baek Soo-ryong frowned at the faint voice he heard. I wondered what he was going to say again..

“Beware of Cheonmuhak Gwanju. That person is different from me.”

“……Let me take note.”

“Then don’t die hastily..”

Even after Cheon Moo-gyeol suddenly left, Baek Su-ryong remained in place for a long time, lost in thought..
