Return of The Mount Hua –Chapter 128. Mount Hua’s sword is strong (3)

Proofread : Ying

"Wha- what happens?"

His Sajil, who had "jumped" inside, "fly" outside.

Faster than the speed they were going in.

Wudang's disciples reflexively jumped to catch those who bounced out.

"Keuh."

"Ugh...What did I get hit by?"

Fortunately, they don't seem to have been seriously injured. Considering the speed at which they bounced off, they were strangely unscathed.

"What happened?"

"……I don't know. I thought I saw something white...…."

Jin Hyun's face hardened.

‘You didn't even see the attack?'

That nonsense.

If only one person, it’s understandable. People make mistakes. However, it is impossible that three people did not see the attack at the same time.

It would be possible if the attacker's skills were several times higher than those of the disciples who jumped in.….

'Those people in there are the disciples of Huayin and Mount Hua.'

Jin Hyun's head, which had been rolling for a while, found a reasonable answer.

"They must have set a trap. I don't know how."

"You're saying it wasn't an attack?"

"If it had been a proper attack, would it have ended up with only this much damage? It wouldn't have been strange if one had been cut off."

"Ah... yes, indeed, Sahyung!"

Jin Hyun bit his lips a bit.

'Is it? Or isn’t?'

He doesn't know the exact way, but what's certain is that there are people who can use tricks there. This seems to be the reason why they induced a battle, not a duel.

"You're playing tricks."

Jin Hyun drew his sword and took two steps forward.

"Come in after me. I don't know what trap there might be, so I'll break through it at the forefront."

"Yes, Sahyung!"

Jin Hyun looked at the main gate of Huayin Sect, which was tightly closed with slightly nervous eyes.

‘I don't know what's behind this. However, if we are overly cautious, we may fall into a trap.’

"Here I go!"

Without waiting for an answer, Jin Hyun rushed in and kicked the door.

Bam!

With a roar, the door breaks into pieces and scatters everywhere.

The dust that had risen subsided, and silence flowed.

'…The trap?'

He stepped in with determination, but nothing happened. All he could see was Mount Hua's disciples staring at him far away from the entrance.

"Hey, why are you breaking the door? I haven't even locked it. Kids these days really have no manners."

Chung Myung clicked his tongue.

Yoon Jong had so many parts he wanted to argue with, but the enemy is now in front of him.

Jin Hyun examines them left and right once then narrows his brows.

"Is this all?"

"What?"

Hearing Chung Myung relaxed answers, Jin Hyun growls.

"You're dealing with us alone? That's a lot of confidence. I don't know if it's just like you or arrogance."

Chung Myung looked back at Yoon Jong with a sullen face.

"What's he talking about?"

"Well. It feels a bit familiar."

Chung Myung said with a grin.

"Don't you feel like you're looking at Sasuk Baek Chun?"

Baek Chun, who was next to him and getting a hit out of the blue, gnashed his teeth.

"Don't..."

"Hey, murg." (the raw is "흐지 믈르그.")

"Hey!"

Baek Chun's face turned red.

But Baek Chun himself couldn't deny that Jin Hyun's words and actions were similar to his old self.

'Those who don't know that there is a sky above the sky are like that.'

Baek Chun’s head breaks after meeting Chung Myung...… not in a metaphorical sense. Although Chung Myung really broke his head, he get to know the reality.

However, no matter how much he has changed now, it cannot be pleasant to see one's shameful past come alive right in front of their eyes.

"...Let's finish it quickly."

Baek Chun spoke with a red face, Yoon Jong and Jo-Gol turned their heads and held back their laughter.

There was a sense of bewilderment on Jin Hyun's face as he watched the scene.

‘What is this?’

‘What is that relaxed response?’

‘Is there some kind of trap?'

However, no matter how many times he looks at it, he doesn't see any odd things or machinery. What trap can they set in this little residence?

And yet they greet him with that attitude?

Jin Hyun's face starts to heat up.

‘Such thunder naked people!' (I don’t know the literal translation, or a term to better fit this word. It used to refer a person who runs wildly without fear or does something without thinking. Originated from a dragonfly. The link https://brunch.co.kr/@daeho7044/156. The raw 천둥벌거숭이)

Defeating them with a duel is a way, but that alone doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Jin Hyun's mouth opened.

"I don't know where the hell that confidence comes from. Do you believe that Mount Hua, who has never defeated Wudang in the past, could afford to face us now?"

Chung Myung laughed.

"Who said we have never won? A hundred years ago, we were stronger than you."

Although it has not been officially recognized.

"Ha? A hundred years ago?"

Jin Hyun smiles.

"Yes, you are. A hundred years ago. In the age of Plum Blossoms Sword Saint that you all so proud of."

"Huh?"

Chung Myung opened his eyes slightly wide.

It feels strange to hear the word "Plum Blossom Sword saint" coming out of Jin Hyun mouth. He rarely hear it even in Mount Hua, but those words came out of the mouth of a Wudang disciple.

"Did you know that the Plum Blossom Sword Saint you are so proud of was defeated by the Wudang's Taegeukgi?"

"What?"

A shrill voice came out of Baek Chun's mouth.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hahaha, nonsense? The two of them have already been bimbo at the time. For the honor of Plum Blossom Sword Saint, Taegeuk Sword hid the results." (One of three great swordsmen from 100 years ago, when chung myung still as plum blossom sword saint. Could also be called taichi sword. I will use taeguk sword for now and changed if I have better name for it.)

"This..."

"Mount Hua is no match for Wudang. You should know that."

As soon as the words were over, the faces of the disciple of Mount Hua heated up.

Ignoring them is tolerable, but ignoring Mount Hua is unforgivable.

The name of Plum Blossom Sword Saint is Mount Hua's pride.

"How dare you talk nonsense about him!"

"You're going too far!"

"He's not someone you could talk carelessly!"

"…Can't be forgiven."

An unknown sadness poured into Chung Myung's heart when he saw the reactions of his fellow disciple.

Treat me like that, treat me like that!

Hey, you guys! I'm the Plum Blossom Sword Saint. I always am!

‘Oh, my God. I can't even say it myself! What a sad place to be!’

Apart from that feeling, however, Chung Myung was not particularly upset by Jin Hyun's words. It's just a little absurd.

‘Wow, such distortion of history.'

He hasn’t said anything because he was too lazy to inquire about it to the malco guy, who seemed to be on the cloud right away just by looking at his face.

What?

Who's beat whom?

- Your wickedness has gone too far. As a man of the same path, I will show you the way of true Taoist. Don't blame my sword for being heartless and reflect on what you've done so far.

- …… I will admit that your ability has surpassed me. Knowing my lack of training, I'm going to step down. No... I’m not trying to escape. Oh, no, wait a minute!

- Stop beating me up! You've hit me a lot! How can a master beat a person like this...…. Argh! Argh! How can you beat me when I'm talking?.…. Aaaaaaaah!

- Older Brother! Please spare me!

"He was a good little brother."

‘I think he's older than me. But he called me "hyung" first.’

"Huh?"

"No, nothing."

Chung Myung shook his hand.

After that, whenever he stopped by the Wudang, Chung Myung called him out and ate with him. Wudang is such a popular neighborhood that there were many expensive inns. He had the pleasure of renting the top floor with Wudang's money and drinking the most expensive drinks.

Whenever he thinks of the rotting face of Taegeuk Sword, he feels somewhat nostalgic.

‘Oh, it was fun though.’

No... It's not the time to reminisce.

"Wow, so that's happened."

They don’t know it, and there isn’t any proof, right?

Seeing it, Jin Hyun, who misunderstood Chung Myung's reaction, laughed at him.

"Mount Hua, the most powerful sect a hundred years ago, has never once defeated Wudang. Don't you think it's too arrogant to come and face us now? Your pride is...…."

"Hey, let's stop and fight! Hah?"

"……."

Chung Myung sighed heavily.

"No. It doesn't matter who wins a hundred years ago. Do people from 100 years ago support you from behind? They're all dead, dude! If you like old guys so much, why don't you become a Wudang’s... Oh, you already are. Right."

‘Is that why you are like that?’

"……How dare you!"

“Anyway, these old-fashioned things…”

Even though it was his past that was distorted, Chung Myung was not particularly angry.

'What does it matter? I had killed Heavenly Demon anyway.'

The important thing is now.

And...

'That's what someone powerful does.'

Had Mount Hua been stronger than Wudang now, Wudang wouldn't have dared say such a thing. In other words, if the current Mount Hua was overwhelmingly stronger than Wudang, it meant that even if they claimed that the Plum Blossom Sword Saint was stronger than the Jang Sambong, there would be no backlash. (Jang Sambong is the founder of shaman, which I think is Wudang. In this novel, shaman refer to Wudang. Correct me if im wrong)

In the end, whether it's history, money, or the right to speak, it's the power of the strong.

And Chung Myung has no complaints about that fact.

‘I'm strong!’

‘So it’s all mine.’

That's a problem that could be solved slowly after Mount Hua defeated Wudang. Well, actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't solve it. It is enough if the current Chung Myung receives a higher evaluation than the Plum Blossoms Sword Saint of the past.

"You really need to see blood to get your mind..."

"So-haeng! So-haeng!"

Jin Hyun tried to say something, but Chung Myung cut Jin Hyun off and called Wei So-haeng.

Wei So-haeng, who was watching the situation from behind, asks back with a puzzled face.

"Yes?"

"You've done everything I told you to do, haven't you?"

"You mean the rumor? Yes, I did spread the word to people in Namyung."

"Well done, then. Eu-cha!" (Remember euracha? Chung myung exclusive sfx when doing something strange)

Chung Myung drew his sword.

Then the Wudang disciples flinched and stepped back slightly. All of a sudden...….

Chung Myung's swung his sword and sword qi spouted from the tip of his sword. (it’s not actually sword qi, mtl say spouted a sword. I just changed it)

But where his sword headed was not where the disciples of Wudang were. Chung Myung's sword cuts down the wall of Huayin Sect several times.

Rumbling!

In an instant, the wall of Huayin Sect collapsed.

"What, what are you doing?"

Wei Lishan's eyes were wide open.

‘No, why does that bastard tear down other people's walls?’

"Oh...."

However, soon after the sight of the collapsed wall, Wei Lishan could see the intention of Chung Myung. Around the wall, people from Namyung were rushing in.

After hearing that Wudang and Mount Hua would have a battle at Huayin Sect, they braved themselves to come and watch. Wouldn't anyone want to see something like this?

"Because I like things bigger."

Chung Myung smiles.

Their purpose here is not just to help Huayin Sect. They need to get more people to see Mount Hua beat Wudang.

The reputation accumulated one by one will complete the status of Mount Hua in the future.

"...It's a little burdensome."

Chung Myung grinned at Baek Chun's words.

"If you're going to do it, do it for sure."

"That's true."

"Then there's one left."

Chung Myung's eyes turned to Wudang's disciples.

“Sahyung. How many are possible?"

"……Well, two."

"I think I'll be three."

"Then five."

Chung Myung patted his chin.

"Sago can take charge of four. Baek Chun Sasuk should be in charge of him."

"And you?"

"Should I?”

"……no."

Don’t look at me like that, restrain yourself, please.

"Then go, Sasuk, Sago, Sahyung!"¹

"Sigh..."

"Yes."

"Ugh!"

Mount Hua's disciples sighed and trudged forward.

"It feels like something is reversed."

There was a cold chill in Baek Chun's eyes.

"If it’s Wudang's disciple, there will be no shortage for our proof of training. Come on, guys. Show them the sword of Mount Hua!"

"Yes, Sasuk!"

"Yes, Sahyung!"

Then he heard a muffled voice behind him.

"Why is the reaction different from when I did it?"

'Please just shut up, dude.... '

1. I choose you! Sasuk! Sago! Sahyung!
