The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 172
EP.172 Chapter Seventeen - Mission, Stealth (3)
* * *
Shit.
This is how the current situation was expressed in the Tanghwaseo..
“Is there more? Tsk, were they just scum with no guts?.”
In front of Danghwaseo, Namgung Jincheon was shaking his hands and exhaling. Beneath his feet, all of Lianju's warrior guards were flinching as every part of his body was broken..
A mission is a mission, so just be patient for a little while. Does that mean it's a riot just because one calligraphy is missing? Tang Hwa-seo seriously wondered what crime he had committed in his past life to deserve such hardship..
The conclusion that came out was that.
‘It's all my vice.’
Should I at least offer Buddhist prayers along with Ilwoon from today?.
It was the moment when an idea occurred to me..
“What's going on.”
A deep voice echoed in the space..
Danghwaseo’s gaze turned to the source of the sound..
There was a soldier in a black military uniform, but he was not wearing a mask like the others..
‘Is he a high-ranking person??’
It felt that way.
It's not that he wasn't, but the power he felt was extraordinary..
‘Minimum peak.’
It was a moment when tension emerged in Danghwaseo..
“What are you again?.”
Namgung Jincheon said to the man.
the man answered.
“I asked what happened before that..”
“There's no reason to tell you that..”
“Get over it, what kind of confidence do you have??”
The man's scar changed shape as he frowned..
Danghwaseo felt like his blood was rushing backwards..
“Namcheon, let me explain..”
“Something like this….”
“I said I would do it.”
Danghwaseo’s eyes widened..
Namgung Jincheon was shocked..
You have to be this angry to come to your senses.
Dang Hwa-seo, promising a future date, withdrew his gaze from Namgung Jincheon and faced the man..
“…There was an accident during the test..”
“Would you call this an accident??”
“The problem is that the enemy is too weak. I couldn't defeat just one member of our group and it was destroyed..”
“That member looks stronger than you. Hao Wen: Does the weak rule over the strong??”
“As you can see, my personality is like that, so Moonju cares about me more..”
“It's funny.”
The man let out a laugh..
“So what do you plan on doing about this situation??”
Danghwaseo shook his head for a moment at the man’s words..
‘First, we need to take care of it and continue with the test..’
Whatever it is, it is obvious that we need to create a place to talk alone with Yeonju..
The process ended up like this, but in fact, it couldn't be said to be that bad..
No matter what, you have proven that you are worthy of reaching the front of the league..
“Self-respect, winner takes all. Wasn’t it the law of the dark path??”
“What do you want to say?.”
“I'm asking why we are responsible for the weak being left behind..”
The man's gaze shoots.
Danghwaseo felt that his breathing became slightly uncomfortable due to the energy contained within it..
but….
‘You must not back down.’
Showing weakness here could have hindered the mission..
It was the moment when Danghwaseo was about to take a step forward..
“So, what about the next test??”
Mo Riwon came to the front of Danghwaseo and took the force that was pouring down on her..
The man's eyebrows were raised..
“…There was one more.”
It must be referring to the state.
“Muwon….”
Danghwaseo called Mokriwon's pseudonym..
Mok Ri-won turned his back on her as if it was okay..
“If there was?”
“At its peak, it must have been Hao Wen's main force, so why did it leave Wen Zhou and come here??”
“Because that's the order..”
“Why did Moonju give such an order?.”
“People who are naturally timid have a lot of doubts. He seems like a narrow-minded man.”
Mok Riwon chuckled and said.
Danghwaseo was surprised..
‘Was Mok Sohyeop this good at acting??’
In fact, it seemed like I was learning something from Mile Seok and Jamun recently..
It seems safe to assume that learning includes acting..
The man looked at Mokriwon hesitantly..
The eyebrows were frowning.
“…This is Yeon Gun-ok, commander of Lord Ryeon’s general bodyguard. What is your name?.”
“Muwon. There is no special name..”
“good night. If you want, I'll let you take the next test..”
Yeon Gun-ok whispered something to the adjutant who was following her, and the adjutant lowered his head and headed to another place..
“Follow me.”
After saying that, Yeon Gun-ok turned around..
Only then did Mokriwon look at the Danghwaseo..
The twinkling eyes were an attitude of wanting a compliment..
Danghwaseo slightly raised the corners of his mouth and spoke in a mouth shape..
‘Well, did you, did you do it?.’
Mokriwon was very satisfied..

black sand training room.
The calligraphy was still held there..
Ryeonju was still sitting awkwardly behind the tent..
‘Anyway, a suspicious person….’
All evil Doeungang.
Among all the Black Snake Liquor, its one unique feature is that it is considered the best..
Isn't it obvious why he keeps me here? It's probably to prevent him from using other tricks after leaving this place..
Moreover, there will also be an intention to judge what kind of behavior they will show without your instructions..
‘Let's reveal our identity here?’
How would they react if you told them that they were from the Baekdo Murim Alliance and wanted to fight alone with you?.
I was able to answer calligraphy without difficulty..
‘You won't believe it. Even if you believe it, we will discuss qualifications. If the company sent a foolish person, you could say it's not worth meeting..’
He was a man who took quite a few things into consideration when looking at people..
If a person in the Murim League does not meet the standards, it could be taken to mean that the group has ignored them..
Even if you tell them their name or identity, Yeonju will not listen..
He was a man who valued his own standards that were different from others..
Seo Ye sighed..
‘It'll be okay?’
I'm more worried about Namgung Jincheon than anything else..
As for Mokriwon, Danghwaseo would take care of it, but Namgung Jincheon was a walking bullet who could cause an accident even if he looked away even a little, so I was anxious about whether he would keep up..
Should I pray to heaven that he doesn't get into an accident?.
I was just thinking about it..
“Mr. Ryeonju.”
The gatekeeper opened the door and came in..
“One of the Hao Mun Dao annihilated the Black Fei Bird. The name is Namcheon, Chojeoljeong..”
Calligraphy's teeth were clenched.
‘Just this human!’
Could it be that you couldn't stand it anymore and had an accident?!
The moment the heat rose, the gatekeeper continued:.
“And there is information that there is one more peak. The patriarch is testing them.”
After the report, there was silence in the space..
Just when the thought of calligraphy's silence was constricting my throat, Ryeonju spoke..
“Go out.”
It was said to the gatekeeper..
The gatekeeper bowed his head and left the training room..
As the door closed with a thud, Ryeonju said..
“Two extreme peaks. four years to me?”
Calligraphy clenched his fists.
‘I got caught too early.’
At least, I hoped that it would be after Ryeonju found out about that fact..
Seo-ye let out a small sigh in situations where things were not going as planned..
‘I'll put you in debt.’
Even though we are going through such hard work, free labor is absolutely unacceptable..
“It is also beneficial to Haomun to have a soldier affiliated with the association..”
“Are you planning to steal information from within the association??”
“I don’t think it would be a bad story for Ryeonju either. Even if it were internal information, it would be information from other black people..”
“Why should I believe that??”
“Is there any reason not to believe it??”
“How can I trust a woman who sticks a knife in her teacher’s back and sits in the door’s chair?.”
“She's that kind of girl, so you have to trust her more..”
Seoye stood with his back straight and spoke..
“Wouldn’t it be useful because it has a miasma? Moreover, since the main body is weak, it can be defeated at any time. It would be a good tool to use..”
Ryeonju was silent..
Seo Ye tried to continue persuading further..
“therefore….”
“stop.”
Ryeonju cut off his words..
“That's enough.”
Is it a success?.
Calligraphy brought out earnestness.
However, the Black Salyeonju was not a great person who would listen to such earnestness..
“Six is a lot. Moreover, the two extreme climaxes are too much. It only takes three. The three of them survive by sticking together..”
Calligraphy took my breath away..
*
The test continued two more times..
One is to defeat a member of the group that is said to be the best among the guards by fighting 2 to 1..
Mok Riwon and Namgung Jincheon were excluded from this test..
Fortunately, the second test ended with the other four people easily overpowering them. All six passed the third test, finding an assassin, without difficulty, and the next test was just around the corner..
Mokriwon looked carefully at the space he entered..
A huge gym with no special equipment.
Yeon Gun-ok stood in front of them with his arms crossed..
Mokriwon asked.
“what is the next test?”
“I'll tell you even if you don't fuss.”
Mok Riwon narrowed his eyes..
Yeon Gun-ok's strength is average even at the peak level..
It's hard to know his exact force because we haven't seen him use a weapon yet, but if he fights, it's not that difficult to win..
As a general escort, it is a weak force..
‘What is the reason?.’
Why did Ryeonju appoint a man like that as the general guard captain?.
Mokriwon was worried..
‘There are no talented people in Heukdo.?’
That being said, there were a few black masters that immediately came to mind..
Among them, as far as Mok Ri-won knew, there were quite a few of them who were actually in the Heuksa-ryeon..
Then, there is one reason that comes to mind.
‘I am confident in my own strength.’
Heuksaryeon also said he was a man who held his position for an unusually long time..
Mo Ri-won came to the conclusion that if a man could accomplish such a thing, he would at least have reached transcendence..
‘Did you say he was a genius?.’
What on earth is the purpose of this test?.
It was a moment when I thought about it..
“What is this?.”
Namgung Jincheon made the momentum worse..
Mok Riwon also frowned..
‘Soldiers are flocking in.’
At least dozens of warriors were flocking around the training ground..
Each and every one of them was above the level of small children..
Soon, other members also noticed the signs..
When I came to my senses, I was already surrounded..
A flock of black warriors surrounded the training ground..
Yeon Gun-ok smiled crookedly..
“This is the name of Lord Ryeon..”
“My name is?”
“Six is too many. Also, there are two extreme peaks. There, Namcheon and Muwon face a life-or-death struggle. The remaining four must also face life or death. Only those who survive can enter as Lord Ryeon's escort..”
Mokriwon froze..
Yeon Gun-ok continued and said.
“said. It's life or death. If neither side's life is lost, it is not recognized as a victory or defeat..”
Danghwaseo came out right away..
“Lord Moon allows such a thing.….”
“What if you don't do it? This is black sand lotus.”
The members were speechless..
Mok Riwon looked at Namgung Jincheon..
He too was looking at Mokriwon..
Burning eyes, looks very angry.
“…Namcheon brother.”
“How much longer must I endure.”
what.
There was no need for that question..
Namgung Jincheon has been filled with anger ever since Seo Ye was captured, and his anger was at a level where he would want to get her back, even if it meant creating a mess, if he was given permission to do so..
Mokriwon understood that feeling..
To be precise, I understood the discomfort of this situation..
As it was a matter of life and death between members, Mokriwon did not even want to imitate such a thing..
“Danju.”
I called Danghwaseo.
Danghwaseo looked contemplative..
And then I finally sigh..
“There's no easy way.”
Tsk, I click my tongue and say.
“Let's stop playing here..”
words that determine policy.
Yeongunok and the Heukdo warriors located there were enraged by this..
“Are you trying to rebel??”
“How much longer do we have to hang out with Moonju to keep him from playing games like this?.”
In the meantime, Danghwaseo clearly conveyed that the acting would continue..
“everyone.”
What should I do now?.
“Break through head-on and retrieve Lord Moon..”
Play the role of a loyal mundo..
When the order was given, Namgung Jincheon drew his sword before anyone else..
“I didn't like it from the beginning.”
In the blink of an eye, Namgung Jincheon arrived right in front of Yeon Gun-ok..
It was before Yeon Gun-ok even pulled out his sword in surprise..
“Go away, ugly man..”
Suddenly, Namgung Jincheon stabbed Yeon Gun-ok’s nose with the tip of the sword hilt..
Filled with strength.
