The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 38
〈 38Tue 〉 Ojang Yongbong Branch (11）
* * *
Mokriwon's advancement to the final shook not only Seohyun but the entire Anhui region..
His sword blade that was finally revealed was so amazing..
An anomalous sword technique that can only be achieved through talent..
And the overwhelming power that reached its peak even at the young age of 18.
It is rather strange that the prestigious midfielders who want to win the next generation do not recruit him..
The famous people moved without rest..
Some people prepared wealth, some people prepared elixirs, and some people prepared secret gifts..
However, amidst all this, there was something they prepared together without exception..
“Talking to myself… I mean?”
self-talk.
One of the most certain contracts in the land, cementing relationships through blood and blood..
They presented the women of my family to take control of Mokriwon..
One unique thing is that, unlike the usual marriage talks, this time, the women from each famous family took off and rushed at him..
“Aren’t there so many different types of shit??”
Seohyun's guest cup.
Danghwaseo was explaining the current situation to Mokriwon and was giving off a harsh look..
The appearance was so scary that Zhuge Mountain was drinking in a particularly quiet manner today..
“Me, I don't like that kind of marriage.…!”
Mokriwon expressed vehement rejection..
“Marriage is not about a man and a woman spending eternity together in love! I want to marry the person I love!”
Mo Liwon crossed his arms and snorted..
Danghwaseo felt helpless satisfaction at that sight, but then shook off his emotions and nodded..
“Yes, that's what the Mok Sohyeop said, so I wouldn't worry too much, but you still need to be careful..”
“hmm?”
“As I mentioned earlier, women from famous families often have more debauchery than you might think. The moment they get to know the innocent side of the Mokgyeop, they will start drooling to try and eat it somehow..”
“Soo, so naive.….”
“narrow neck.”
“hmm! speak.”
“Do you remember what to do when a woman you don't know approaches you??”
“You should say you are busy and run away! And I have to tell you!”
“Well done.”
Danghwaseo smiled happily..
Mu Liyuan was just happy to hear the praise, and Zhuge Shan thought while watching the skit..
‘Mok-au, you'll get your nose pierced if you follow it like that..’
If I had to pick the most rational person right now, it would be Zhuge Shan..
Zhuge Mountain knew.
Now, Danghwaseo is pretending to be worried about Mokriwon and is blocking his path to marriage..
That he is shaking off the entire race of women around him..
‘Well, it seems like you don't even realize it..’
What a fearful nature it must be to unconsciously keep one's rivals in check..
As expected from Sacheon.
As expected, our mind is read.
Zhuge Shan trembled in fear..
“Oh, isn't it Sojeo's meeting in five days? How are the preparations going??”
A topic that came up while the conversation was still going on.
Danghwaseo's fingertips trembled, but then he said with a smile on his face..
“We are doing our best to prepare.”
“I'm so excited! I will support Sojeo until the end!”
“too high expectations….”
Danghwaseo was about to say something, but stopped and laughed helplessly..
What followed were the words I uttered while feeling disappointed in myself..
“…No, that's right. I'll give it a try.”
Danghwaseo tipped his glass..
‘Yes, how can someone who gets scared and gives up be called an unmanned person? I have to try as much as I can.’
When I think about it again, it was like that..
This Yongbong branch was a place where one came to show off one's military power, and wouldn't it be a handshake to show off martial arts while choosing the opponent?.
Danghwaseo scolded himself and composed himself..
Then he said.
“Okay, leaving that aside, let’s have a drink today. Your small cooperative has reached the finals, but you haven't even celebrated yet..”
“Ah, good!”
Mo Liwon accepted her words with a smile, but that did not mean he was truly shaking with joy..
A bitter smile passed across his face moment by moment..
‘Should I like it?….’
I'm trying hard to erase it from my mind, but Mokriwon also had his own concerns..
Hyeon-gong was there to defeat..
In the end, the reason for his death was not found out either..
In fact, as it was a match where the discomfort was greater than the joy of victory, even Mokriwon was not in a good mood..
“Let's sleep, Mokau. Drink it all at once.”
However, Mo Li-won thought that showing such worries would be deceiving even after winning, so he listened to Zhuge-san's words and drank a glass..
*
The clutches of a noble family targeting Mokriwon.
This was something that the Party had warned about all along, but it was still an unavoidable situation..
“It's extremely hot.”
A man who somehow reminds me of a tiger.
He stood in the middle of the street, blocking Mok Riwon's path..
Mok Ri-won smiled at his words and made the sound ‘Ah!’.
“I know the name of the great association! Are you correct that this is the deficit of Hebei Paengga, who won the Yongbong Branch 10 years ago??”
“It's an honor to remember you. I'd like to talk to you for a moment, is it okay??”
“A story?”
Mok Riwon’s head tilted..
Then, a woman who had not yet lost her youthful spirit jumped out from behind his large body..
Peng Do-wol smiled shyly and said,.
“It's my younger sister. She was impressed by your performance and begged to have a conversation. Could you please understand my brother’s position a little bit??”
“This is Pengjiwol.…!”
Words spoken with blushing cheeks.
Mokriwon felt an eerie feeling for some reason..
When a woman I don't know approaches me….
The instructions from the Danghwaseo flash through my mind again and again..
‘Uh, what should I do?….’
Mokriwon was worried..
Of course, if you want to follow Danghwaseo's words, you should run away right now, but isn't the opponent the opponent?.
Extreme Pengdowol.
Mok Ri-won also heard that his name carries a lot of weight in today's Jungwon martial arts world..
Also, putting that aside, isn't it rude to turn away someone who approaches you with such kindness?.
Mok Ri-won’s body took a step backwards..
There was a sad smile on his face..
“ha….”
It would be funny if even that pathetic smile was beautiful..
“I, I have someone to meet….”
“Please.”
Peng Daoyue was stubborn..
In fact, he came out here because of his younger sister's insistence, but from Peng Do-wol's point of view, Mokriwon was also a coveted property..
‘The inky sword cannot be taken away..’
Exactly, it shouldn't be taken away..
His swordsmanship and the talent he possessed were so brilliant that he wanted to have them in his family if possible..
Isn’t there a three year age difference between me and my younger sister?.
Although she is not interested in martial arts and her martial arts skills are low, her younger sister is also the daughter of the Paeng family..
When the martial artist who lives in his blood and the martial artist Mok Riwon meet, a hero who will lead the next generation may emerge..
In a strangely flowing atmosphere.
At that moment, the person whom Peng Do-wol did not want to see and who Mok Ri-won had been waiting for appeared..
“Meet the Pang Grand Hyeop.”
It was a danghwaseo.
A cold light like an ice cap hovered over her face..
The direction in which the eyes that seem as if they could freeze someone to death at any moment is directed to none other than the direction where Peng Ji-wol is located..
“Hehehe!”
Peng Jiyue hid behind Pang Doyew’s body..
Peng Do-wol sighed sadly and received her greeting..
“It's been a while.”
“Yes, it's been 6 years..”
“I heard the story. They say they have a good relationship with the small cooperatives.….”
Peng Doyue’s mouth was closed..
It was because of Danghwaseo’s eyes..
‘The look in their eyes asks if someone who knows this would do something like this..’
Hmm, is this really the wedding of the royal family?.
I was so impressed that he shot daggers with just his eyes..
“Don't look at me like that. I was also in a position where I couldn't refuse her sister's request..”
Peng Do-yew continued to say, ignoring Peng Ji-yew hitting him hard on the back..
“I guess I'll leave for today. Mukgeom, see you next time.”
And then I turned around..
Peng Ji-wol looked at Mo Ri-won with eyes dripping with regret, but then he became intimidated by Dang Hwa-seo's eyes and followed behind his brother..
*
The Party’s checks continued..
Starting with the Hebeuk Paeng family, which forms the axis of the five major families, various families and sects that control each region, and even Hadada Pyoguk and merchants..
He is busy running around all day long to ward off those who drool at the name of Mukgeom..
‘why me….’
why am i doing this.
A question like that suddenly came to me, but strangely enough, I had no intention of stopping this..
This also happened because Danghwaseo, who was extremely petty, did not have the courage to reflect on himself..
I'm just trying to get rid of those who aim for Mokriwon and focus on personal training..
Before I knew it, on the night of the two days left until the semifinals, I met someone I didn't want to see at Danghwaseo..
“Long time no see. Lord Soga.”
A dark night with the moonlight dimly illuminating the streets.
A group of people come out from inside the alley..
Five warriors with refined energy.
What is at the forefront….
“…Tangungyeong.”
It was his half-brother, Tang Woon-gyeong..
Danghwaseo’s expression hardened..
Tang Yun-gyeong did not lose his smile even as he looked at the painting book, and walked forward and stopped right in front of her nose..
“Did you enjoy your outing?.”
“….”
“it surprised me. Lord Soga, who had not revealed his whereabouts all this time, suddenly appeared at the Yongbong branch, and Pyosan came back looking like that..”
words close to a whisper.
It contained a clear rebuke..
Tang Hwaseo looked at Tang Yun-gyeong and the warriors behind him with sunken eyes..
‘…Yeah, it's about time.’
Except for Dangwoongyeong, each and every one of them are dancers at their peak..
They were the elites of the Four Heavenly Tang Dynasty..
Did you come to drag yourself like this?.
‘no.’
That won't be it.
Given the nature of the matriarch, it would be impossible for them to retrieve themselves in such a public setting, so it would be correct to assume that their purpose lies elsewhere..
‘appeasement or intimidation.’
Now, which one?.
“Get to the point first..”
“Ah, but you really don't mind being brother and sister..”
“Were we really that close? You didn't know. Even while you were enduring such pain under my care, you were just giggling..”
“It's an expression of affection..”
“You say you show affection when you see someone suffering, but you didn't know that my brother was a crazy bastard..”
Tang Yun-gyeong’s eyebrows slightly lifted..
Then, that treacherous look became a little more vicious..
“Isn’t that enough of running away from home??”
“Was it a threat??”
“Well, appeasement..”
Tang Yunqing straightened his back..
Then he smiled brightly and continued,.
“The head of the family is very satisfied. The cow who left the house said that she did not know that the Lord would put such a strange man in his hands..”
“…what?”
“black sword.”
For a moment, Danghwaseo’s breath stopped..
Dangwoon-gyeong continued by saying.
“You are great. As expected, Lord Soga said it was for the sake of his family. The head of the family wants to see Mukgeom quickly. How long has it been since you smiled like that? Ah, my ears are still ringing. He was so happy that if Sogaju and Mukgeom were present, the name of Tangmun would be the highest in the next martial arts world..”
Danghwaseo felt dazed by that shamelessness..
“The head of the family, the head of the family?.”
“You should call me Lord of the House..”
“Are you saying that crazy old man got Mok Sohyeop and me involved like that??”
A question followed with a laugh.
For a moment, Danghwaseo felt his head become strangely cold..
I also felt the hatred I had been suppressing flowing back from inside and constricting my throat..
“What on earth did you have on your face to say something like that??”
Danghwaseo takes a step forward.
Dark green energy waves began to release around her body..
“You are so great. Aren’t you the one who planted that spirit in Lord Soga? But how can I say that?….”
“Yes, I planted this. Even though I didn't want it.”
Before today came, I thought about Danghwaseo..
Maybe the party door won't come..
Perhaps he could clearly understand his feelings after seeing the table that turned like that..
Maybe then I felt guilty..
‘You've retreated.’
After spending time with Mokriwon, his heart must have retreated and he could only think of hopeful thoughts..
“Things that will rot and crumble.”
Tang Hwa-seo glared at Tang Un-gyeong and the warriors behind him..
It was a gaze full of hatred, and also full of curses..
“If only it weren't for this damned unscrupulous attack. I would have forgiven the matriarch..”
Danghwaseo was a person who could not forgive Sacheondangmun..
However, it is not enough to explain everything by just the elements that made my childhood miserable..
“I really don't understand. How could the head of the family say such things to me??”
Danghwaseo takes another step forward.
Tang Yun-gyeong then erased all the smiles on his face and looked down at her coldly..
Danghwaseo said that he was very resentful of that gaze..
“They robbed me of my future and even the chance to have children. How can you tie me up with a man?.”
The truth that was finally spewed out from one's own mouth was heavy..
It was also shameful.
Poison, not blood, flows through the blood vessels of the saccharine book..
Her body was filled with poison, and nothing other than poison could settle in..
That was the reason why Tanghwaseo could not forgive Tangmun..
As the atmosphere became more hostile, Tang Yun-gyeong opened his mouth..
“…What can't you do??”
“what?”
“What can't you do?.”
Danghwaseo’s face became blank..
With his cold face, Tang Yun-gyeong shot out a dagger made of forged words..
“Lord Soga, there are many women in our party. A woman who can bear children..”
“what….”
“There is a woman who will accept Mukgeom's seed instead. Everyone in the party will turn a blind eye. Shouldn’t Sogaju just raise that child like his own??”
rattly.
Danghwaseo felt like his heart stopped..
No, it wasn't just the heart..
Every organ in her body stopped moving at that single word..
If there was a way for someone to kill someone with words, it would be like this..
If there was a heartlessness that trampled on even the slightest hope, it would be like this..
Tang Hwa-seo looked at Tang Yun-gyeong..
In her eyes, the man in front of her no longer seemed like a relative or even a human being..
That's why I couldn't find anything to refute.
Because he couldn't communicate with non-humans, he only felt heart-wrenching pain..
The energy wave subsides..
Thoughts are scattered..
And I feel empty inside.
Meanwhile.
“…I can't listen to you anymore.”
A very beautiful voice pierced Danghwaseo’s ears..
