Chapter seven
Kuoooooooooooo-!
The dragon's roar echoed..
It was large enough to shake the earth..
This was the first time that Ju Seocheon was of this size..
We focused only on the front so that the rear group would not be harmed..
“……!”
People who were moving in perfect order on the dock paused for a moment..
After the treatment, I was overwhelmed and my body stiffened..
‘hurry!’
The power was reduced because it may cause harm to the general public..
They simply increased the volume and created a feeling of intimidation..
Instead, I gained precious time..
A loaded catapult was launched like a meteor, cutting through the sea before taking off..
“Die, Joo Seocheon!”
His body, which shot out like a meteor, was hardly human..
Nevertheless, the warriors on the dock were not scared..
Although they were not dressed in their usual black clothes, Ju Seo-cheon saw them and intuitively realized that they were the Seven Star Soldiers..
‘Jaha Gaebyeok!’
Quarrrr!
thunder struck.
It was a roar coming from the sword..
As a flash of light flashed, the strong energy wrapped around the body of the sword swept across the front..
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
Kuang!
A group of Seven Star Soldiers who hid their swords behind their waists were unable to attack and flew away in vain..
Joo Seocheon, who attacked with the first style of Jaha Sword, quickly rolled his eyes and looked for a catapult..
‘seven generations!’
I saw them moving rocks and loading them..
‘damn bastards!’
A meteor came flying and hit me..
He didn't look surprised even when his colleague flew away screaming next to him..
Seeing him quietly carrying on with his work, he must be the Seven Star Soldiers..
‘This is why the Amcheonhoe!’
Even though they are soldiers, they are all as good as any first-class warrior..
Yogwang's talent training is the Seven Seas of Heaven..
‘As soon as I step on my hometown, I can't be happy and I have to fight.!’
But what should I do?.
This is what it means to be at odds with Amcheonhoe..
Wow!.
Pull your right arm back like a bowstring..
And then, exhaling with all his might, he threw the sword in his hand..
I love you so much!
The sword body sparkled, reflecting sunlight..
It does not contain any herbal food.
It was just an ignorant throw away..
However, the person who threw the sword was Sangcheon Seven Seas..
The sword fired by the swordsman fell into the catapult..
Kuaang!
“Wow!”
It was the beginning of disaster.
I flew the dragon kite and destroyed one of the seven planes..
“I'm dying!”
The five Seven Star Soldiers rushed in..
Each individual is a first-class warrior..
There was no unnecessary movement..
But even if the opponent was bad, it was too bad.
Ju Seo-cheon threw out his fist and struck the chest of the warrior holding the sword..
It crackles and my ribs break, piercing my lungs..
“Wow!”
The Seven Star Soldiers coughed up blood and dropped their swords..
‘four.’
After catching the sword midway, I turned it half a turn and caught it right away..
Suddenly!
It was an instant.
Immediately after the sword was swung, the bodies of the Seven Star Soldiers in front were split horizontally into two..
net-liquid!
The sword and sword drew diagonal lines on the left and right, respectively..
Joo Seocheon blurred into a ghostly beam and accelerated at the same time..
Huh!
‘Alas!’
Neither the sword nor the sword could cut down the target..
It was obvious what would happen after that..
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
A blood line was drawn from the top of the shoulder to the waist..
Ju Seocheon passed five people and cut down the catapult with his sword..
“It's been adjusted so let's shoot!”
As the worst enemy approached, the Seven Star Soldiers became desperate..
“It's impossible!”
Joo Seocheon lifted a rock loaded into a catapult..
The sight of him simply lifting something the size of a house was terrifying..
“lower pressure!”
He burst out laughing and threw a rock..
The rock depicting a parabola fell directly onto the catapult..
Kwaaang!
“Ahh!”
A group of Seven Star Soldiers who were preparing to throw a rock fell back, unable to control themselves due to the shock..
I didn't fall down unsightly, but I was shocked to see that the catapult was broken..
But in the meantime, the remaining catapults were ready for launch..
“shoot!”
Tung!
The first catapult successfully launched.
The rock swam in the air, drawing a long parabola..
‘It's annoyingly excellent.!’
When people are in danger, they tend to become anxious or lose their composure..
You may miscalculate the angle or direction, but the Seven Star Soldiers had no gaps..
It seemed like the person in charge of command was a genius..
net-liquid!
The sword taken from the Seven Star Soldiers was shot through the air..
The sword thrown like a javelin drew a straight line and struck the rock that was about to fall on the boat carrying the group..
Kuaang!
Because it is large, it does not break easily..
Because I did not learn the martial arts of javelin or sword fighting, I was unable to apply my attack power properly..
Still, Hyeon-gyeong's inaction was not ruined, so he successfully changed the direction of the rock..
Kuaang!
“Wow!”
“Wow!!”
Zhuge Succession and Yi Ui-chae screamed..
“Wow, your voice is so loud..
However, if you scream without any energy, your vocal cords will……”
Sinui muttered with an aloof face..
‘thank god.’
A desperate scream is proof that you are alive.
Joo Seocheon was relieved and snapped his fingers..
pabababat!
Five lines of purple flash stretched forward..
“Hehehe!”
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
The Seven Star Soldiers fell down while holding on to the hole..
After that, it was confirmed that the lever of the catapult had a hole and was shattered..
There are now three left.
‘Jaha Gaebyeok, Hwawoo Seonhyeong!’
It was straight from my eclipse to my transplant..
The sword that rotated and shot forward spread out like a fan..
Dozens of stems flash purple, creating a beautiful sight..
However, looking at its power, it was not the time to be mesmerized..
Even the slightest touch can lead to death..
Half of the time I dodged by jumping away..
However, the remaining half persevered and sat in front of the catapult and fired..
Kwazijic! Kwaang!
“Ouch!”
“Wow!”
Two catapults were destroyed almost simultaneously..
But I couldn't get the other one right.
A large ship was hit instead, causing the Huawoo ship to miss..
“die!”
Tooung!
In a final struggle, the Seven Star Soldiers shot the rock..
A rock filled with hatred and anger targeted the group..
however
“One is enough!”
“Haha!”
Choryun, Hwabyeokseung, and Danlihwa soared upward..
Danlihwa is Danlihwa, but Choryeon and Hwabyeokseung are also capable martial artists..
It was easy to handle with two people helping..
First, the seventy-two swords cut the rock into pieces, and the gale force ten swordsmen's short sword techniques struck them down with a torrent of sword winds..
Although it was scary that the rock fragments rained down like rain, I narrowly escaped and survived..
“Oh my, this can't be happening……”
The Seven Star Soldiers, who risked their lives to protect the catapult, let out a hollow voice..
“Damn……”
Suddenly!
I didn't even think about turning around to stop it..
As if anticipating what would happen, the expression on the head separated from the body was one of resignation..
“All catapults were destroyed.!”
“Operation failed! operation failure!”
“run away!”
pop! puff!
Smoke bombs exploded with shouts everywhere..
“Spread out!”
The Seven Star Soldiers moved in perfect order..
We dispersed and fled to increase the chances of even one person surviving..
Ju Seo-cheon did not desperately pursue the enemy at a distance, but instead suppressed the nearby Seven Star Soldiers..
After a while, the cleanup of the port was completed..
“Ugh, I’m hungry… … How much does that cost?……!”
Lee Uichae, who lost his stomach, complained while massaging his stomach..
“It's not cheaper than life..”
The group landed on land and rested and healed while being alert to the surroundings..
Zhou Seo-cheon and Zhuge Shu-ran traveled around Guangdong, specifically Leizhou Port, to investigate what had happened..
After the separation again, the two came back..
“what happened?”
Dan Lihwa asked.
“According to residents, the village was attacked by a group about 15 days ago and all the villagers were taken hostage. It looks like he pledged cooperation by mortgaging his life..”
Not only I but my family was caught and I had no choice..
Because I was under surveillance, I could not ask for help from the government or the martial arts faction, so I had no choice but to cooperate..
I helped maintain daily life in the port and maintained the catapult so that the party's raid could be successful..
“What happened to those who were captured??”
“I'm very tired, but I'm still okay..
I was just about to release it..”
“If it were any group, it would be a secret society without a doubt..”
Joo Seocheon answered by nodding his head..
The only force that could do something like this is the Amcheonhoe Association..
“It looks like the person who was supposed to come out to meet me got hit, so I think I'll have to get ready and leave again..”
Because it is so remote, there is not even a proper Murim Bangpa..
There was a small and medium-sized faction, but they were wiped out by the Amcheonhoe..
“It's bloody.”
Ganyaja frowned..
* * *
Anhui, Hefei.
a boy walked along the sidewalk.
The strangely majestic appearance somehow made me laugh..
The neighbors asked if he had won an alley fight, but the boy ignored them and walked forward..
After walking about half an hour, we arrived at a place..
The signboard of the building has stone characters called Murimmaeng written on it..
“……”
The Murimmaeng gatekeeper glanced at the boy..
Although it is strange that he came alone, looking at his neat attire, he must be the child of some samurai family..
“Kid, I don't know where you came from, but for the time being, the Murim Alliance is not accepting any visitors. Go back.”
“Even though the situation is chaotic, you are faithful to your mission..
Excellent.”
“……huh?”
The gatekeeper tilted his head..
It's because the boy's way of speaking was strange..
Judging by his appearance, he was clearly about twelve or thirteen years old, but for some reason, the way he spoke seemed like an old man..
“I came to see the leader. open the door.”
The gatekeeper opened his eyes wide and turned his head to the side..
The senior gatekeeper I work with also opened his eyes wide..
eat.
The strict and solemn expression made me laugh..
The senior gatekeeper gave a look as if telling him to kick him out, and the junior gatekeeper nodded and looked at the boy..
“Kid, the Murim Lord is not someone you can call lightly..
And I don't know what the penalty is, but if you do pranks like this, these guys will……”
“It's okay since we already know each other. I'm not in a very good mood, so please step aside and open the door..”
The junior gatekeeper’s face hardened at the boy’s words..
Even if you are a child, there are lines that must be followed..
I couldn't watch it if it came out like this..
Still, I had no intention of hitting a child who was not even an adult..
Instead, he grabbed his shoulder and released his murderous intent..
“If you don’t want to get scolded, turn back now… … Wow!”
The senior gatekeeper was surprised..
The boy grabbed the junior gatekeeper's wrist, but broke it and threw it behind him..
Kangho's adage to be careful with children, the elderly, and women came to mind..
“emergency! emergency!”
sreung!
The senior gatekeeper drew his sword and shouted..
the boy frowned.
“This look always causes trouble.”
The boy's hand became blurred, and the senior gatekeeper fell forward with a groan..
Ding ding ding ding!
The gatekeeper's cry must have reached him, as the bell rang loudly inside the Murim Alliance as if announcing an emergency..
The boy lightly pushed open the heavy iron door with his hand and entered..
“It's an intruder!”
“emergency! emergency! emergency―!”
As expected from the Murim Alliance headquarters, the response was quick..
Warriors poured out from all over the place..
The warriors surrounded not only the area we had just passed through but also the wall behind it..
“Young kid?”
The security captain who heard the commotion was embarrassed..
I thought there was an attack by the Amcheonhoe, but there was only one person, a boy who had not even reached adulthood..
The hair that reached his waist was braided, and although his eyes were a little sharp, he was handsome and made me like him..
The atmosphere was also ordinary..
I didn't feel any prayer..
However, his steps were strangely majestic..
‘No, let's not let our guard down..’
Maybe the boy was bait.
Also, didn't they say in Kangho that you should be more careful if your opponent's appearance catches you off guard?.
I could have suffered for no reason.
Maybe the short Nomadou borrowed the power of the magic of reverse magic..
“Where is the leader??”
“Come to your senses and surround! Even if the intruder looks like a child, don't let your guard down.!”
“Lord Meng, where is Nangong Weimu??”
“Shut up! Who are you?!”
“Oops, now that I think about it, I didn’t introduce myself..
Maybe it's because I haven't talked to people for a long time, but I've forgotten basic manners. Please forgive me.”
“crazy guy!”
It was strange from one to ten..
It was strange that he came in through the front door alone, but his tone of voice was also strange..
“Even so, you asked me out of the blue without even introducing me because I was in a bad mood... … I apologize for that.”
The boy waved goodbye.
“Subdue it immediately……”
“wait.”
I was about to give the guard captain's order..
“Lord!”
The Murim lord, Nangong Weiwu, walked out with Zhuge Sang..
The bodyguard, who followed like a shadow, blocked Nangong Weiwu's path, but Nangong Weiwu raised his hand to stop him..
“leader.”
The boy saw Nangong Weimu and greeted him..
“bouncer!”
“dare!”
The Seven Seas of Heaven, the Murim Lord Namgung Weimu, is a warrior and an elder respected by many warriors even in Gangho..
Since a child casually called such a person, the reaction was bound to be intense..
However, at the Murim Lord's next words, the people had no choice but to keep their mouths shut and not be shocked..
“Long time no see, old man..”
‘He's a senior?’
The guard captain's eyes widened and then he was astonished..
And only then did I realize who the boy in front of me was..
“Kuo, Kwon……”
Someone muttered in a trembling voice..
‘Emperor Gwondong)!’
The oldest absolute expert after Blood Demon.
An old man who is called a senior even by the sword saint..
He was the Seven Seats of Heaven, King Kwon Dong-je..
After returning to their hometown, the party leaves Roeju Port and heads north. On their way back to the Murim League, they hear some news..
“Hey, have you heard about the latest commotion??”
“What is Kangho’s fuss about?.
If you ask me that, I don't know what you're talking about..”
“I am the dark spirit of the Murim League, the dark spirit..”
“Young lady in black? That's something else?”
“As the name suggests, it is the Murim Alliance, no, it is the black shadow of the political faction..
I heard that the Murim League kidnaps people when necessary and tortures them for interrogation in the underground prison..”
“No, when did you come here after hearing a rumor??
You are probably not someone who came from the past to the future.?”
It was a rumor about the black spirit..
It seemed like a lot of things had happened while I was in Namhae, but the one that caught my attention the most was Yeongbu Heuk..
Because the Murim League controlled information, the name of Heukyeongbu itself was forgotten in people's memories..
However, there were rumors floating around behind the scenes that he was doing something no different from an apostle or a sorcerer..
“This is a story that has recently surfaced again, so don't be too sarcastic. Anyway, it seems like that thing about the dark spirit is true..”
“Huh, really... … On what basis do you say that??
In the past, the Murim Alliance not only announced that it was a rumor meant to slander, but wasn't there any significant evidence??”
“Hehe, what can I do because this person is pure! Do you really believe that? I'm sure you don't believe that the officials are innocent and working for the people.?”
“But there is no evidence…… ”
It is no exaggeration to say that the political faction enjoys the greatest power of its time..
Not only did he win the war against the Blood Cult and then the Demon Cult, but he also received the support of the people for his heroic actions..
When I first heard the rumor, everyone treated it as nonsense..
But what he said next made me doubt it..
“There is evidence.”
“Do you have any proof? what evidence?”
“Poison Dragon, didn’t the Tang Master betray the faction’s martial arts faction not long ago and come out?.
It seems that the cause is in the dark spirit..
From what I heard, he was part of the Black Spirit Department, but after being tortured with poison sent from above, he couldn't stand it and left..”
“No, aren't you really naive??
Isn’t the leader of the party the leader of Amcheonhoe? The words of such a person……”
“Not a witness, but evidence. It looks like the party leader presented the relevant documents, but they don't seem to be ordinary..”
“……Is that really true??”
The head of Tian Chu-seong, Tang Myeong-in, was educated as a black young lady from an early age..
After becoming an adult, he took on the role of Heukyeongbu on behalf of the head of the Tang family and took charge of almost all tasks..
Unfortunately for the political faction, the Murim League, the party leader was so excellent that even though he was excellent, it was not common for him to know about it..
The problem was that the party leader turned into an enemy..
The problem was that the jurisdiction of the Heukyeongbu was concentrated on the party..
Since no one wanted to take on the dirty work, the leadership was concentrated on the party leader, even though the members of the Black Spirit Department had different affiliations..
This would later deal a fatal blow to the Murim League..
When the rumor spread, the Murim Alliance completely denied it..
“The leader of the party is the leader of the Amcheonhoe and a traitor who has been deceiving the political faction, Murim, for a long time. It is a ploy to weaken the unity of the political faction and the martial arts faction through sweet talk..”
A Jeong-do person must be honest and innocent..
The right path is the right path, so if you affirm this, your identity will collapse..
“What I was worried about happened.”
Zhuge Sang worked hard at the information battle as if he had been waiting..
It was the beginning of a war fought not with swords but with words and brushes..
After the party leader betrayed me, I expected something like this to happen someday..
On the contrary, I thought, ‘Now what?’.
And after a while, Zhuge Sang was able to realize for himself why the Amcheonhoe had been idle for so long..
“Have you finally realized the hypocrisy of political factions??”
“Those from the old faction, the five generations, and the so-called prestigious clan use their authority behind the scenes to commit filthy acts..”
“Honestly, I've been hiding it all this time.…… ”
“Kangho’s fellow believers, please listen.!
Three years ago, my father was falsely accused and kidnapped.……”
“A master of openness… … I am making public the sin of.”
There was nothing to do about the right faction and the Sa faction..
Words of criticism against the darkness of political factions abounded throughout the country, starting with the Heukyeongbu..
The problem was that it was not just a lie, but a whopping 30 percent of it was the truth..
Cheon Chu-seong, including Tang Myeong-in, had infiltrated deep into the martial forest or recruited important people..
As most of them were authorities, they knew a lot and this was used as valuable information..
“Is this enough wind? Please keep your promise..”
“Of course.”
Amcheonhoe understood the human mind incredibly well..
He understood people's greed and dissatisfaction well, and deceived them cunningly and corrupted them..
At first, he only handed over a little bit of information, but as time went by, he became bolder and even handed over confidential information..
And later, this was eventually applied as a weakness and it became impossible to follow..
In addition, he seduced them with martial arts skills or kidnapped them like Heukyeongbu and held their families hostage to make them obey him..
The process was smooth, perhaps because it had been done for a long time..
“A lie needs to be mixed with a little bit of truth to be effective. It goes without saying that it's about three to four. Just a part of it makes the whole lie the truth..”
It didn't matter if some of it turned out to be false later..
“So, there is no black spirit.?”
“It's not like it doesn't exist……”
“Then it's true!”
No matter how unavoidable the reason may be, it is by no means an excuse..
It's just a rationalization.
The Murim League did something that should not be done as a person who follows the law..
I couldn't deny that.
Although some of the rumors were exaggerated, it did not mean that Heukyeongbu itself, the center of the controversy, did not exist..
People are foolish animals that believe what they see in front of them, and as their numbers increase, mass psychology applies..
“I knew it would happen.”
“Anyway, there are no decent people among the heads.!”
“Perhaps the Amcheonhoe are the ones who will bring about a revolution in the martial arts world.?”
Even those who supported the Amcheonhoe appeared..
The leader of the party that started the controversy was impressed when he saw the response of public opinion..
“……That's amazing. I never thought it would be like this.”
“Since ancient times, good deeds are not well known, and evil deeds are amplified beyond what is known. Humans are creatures of hatred that hate something even for insignificant things..”
Cheonki read the document and sneered..
