Chung Myung's eyes were full of red bloodshot.
Eudeuk!
His grip on the neck grew stronger.
The wall, which had been cracked by the strong force, creaked and seemed like it could collapse at any moment.
"Kkeuuk… Kkeuk.….”
White foam leaked out of Jin Yanggeon's mouth, who had rolled his eyes back. It looked as if he was about to die with his tongue out at any given moment, but Chung Myung didn't seem to have the slightest intention of loosening his grip.
"Tell me."
"Kkeuk……."
"You...!"
Chung Myung, who was about to slam Jin Yanggeon into the wall, paused suddenly. Then, he turned his cold gaze.
"What.”
Behind him, Baek Cheon was pointing a sword at him. And next to him, Yoo Iseol flicked her sword.
"What do you mean ‘what’."
Baek Cheon slightly tilted his head and spoke.
"It seems like my stupid Sajil is doing something stupid, so I thought he'd come to his senses if I gave him a hole in his back."
"You need scolding."
“…….”
Chung Myung, who returned to his senses slightly, smirked.
"……How grateful I am."
"Don't mention it."
"Tsk."
Chung Myung clicked his tongue briefly and let go of Jin Yanggeon as if throwing him away.
Kung!
Jin Yanggeon, who collided with the wall, fell to the floor with a thud and coughed continuously.
"Kekk! Kek! Cough! Cough! Huuuup!”
Jin Yanggeon wheezed and coughed with a sound close to retching. Chung Myung, who had been staring at him intently, turned his head slightly.
"How’s outside?"
"As you can see."
Baek Cheon stepped aside to show the situation behind him. Familiar faces gathered and drove away the Iron Spear Manor warriors.
The disoriented Iron Spear Manor warriors seemed to have lost their will to fight and couldn't even dare to confront them, scattering and running away.
"I don't know who’s the Buntaju here, but he must be quite capable. It seems that he persuaded the leader of Golden Sword Manor to lead all his warriors here."
"A beggar has to be quick-witted so they don’t get their head broken."
Chung Myung, who was looking back with a small nod, threw his eyes at Jin Yanggeon again. As soon as their eyes met, Jin Yanggeon was startled and curled up in a corner as if to be absorbed into the wall.
"Pel- Ple- Ple- please save me!"
Chung Myung silently stared at him.
Baek Cheon, who was a little worried that Chung Myung might attack again, unknowingly took a step forward.
He would have listened and returned to his calm state already when Baek Cheon said this much if it were the usual him, but today he was definitely strange.
"What's your name?"
But fortunately, Chung Myung opened his mouth instead of attacking.
His voice was deeper than usual, creating a strange sense of pressure, but it was fortunate that he didn't make a fuss about killing him right away.
"Ji- Jin Yang... Jin Yanggeon!"
Jin Yanggeon answered with a pale, terrified face.
He used to calmly deceive Buju of Golden Sword Manor right in front of his nose and somehow make the conversation favorable for himself, but now he couldn't even dare to do so.
'It’s the eyes of a person who would really kill.'
No, forget about his eyes or whatever.
Didn't this butcher turn two men into a soulless corpse right in front of his eyes just now? It even was no other than the guest from Myriad Man Manor.
Discussing lies in front of this person was like holding a knife to your own throat.
"Answer me."
"…Yes?"
"That martial art…"
Chung Myung opened his mouth and paused for a moment.
It seemed as if he couldn't organize what and how to ask in his head.
"Where did you get that martial art?”
"Wha- What martial arts?"
"The martial arts you've learned."
Chung Myung's eyes are slightly distorted again.
"Where, you learned it."
"You- You mean my martial arts? This is just…"
Jin Yanggeon swallowed dry saliva.
"It has been passed down through my sect…”
Jin Yanggeon who saw Chung Myung's hand grabbing the sword hilt right away screamed and covered his head with both hands.
"No! No! Ple- please listen till the end! It's just a combination of a secret technique I happened to obtain with my sect's martial arts!"
Baek Cheon, who had been listening quietly, frowned.
"…Combination?"
"Yes! I- It's an exaggeration to call it a combination, it's roughly a mixture of the basics, yes."
Sweat dripped from Jin Yanggeon's face.
'Because of that damn martial arts!'’
Combining the two martial arts was never an easy task. Jin Yanggeon would never have tried if he knew the result would be like this.
Due to the awkwardly mixed martial arts, his swordsmanship became a good-looking but useless fruit.
He wasn't originally very strong, but after learning the martial arts created by mixing two, he became a half-baked master. It’s just an extravagant yet could never be properly unfolded art.
As a result, his original swordsmanship became twisted, and it became difficult for Jin Yanggeon to live as a martial artist.
Seeing Chung Myung's cold gaze, Jin Yanggeon babbled on without even being asked.
"The, the combined martial art was not very powerful, but someone who saw me perform it asked me if I was from Mount Hua.….”
"Does that make any sense?"
Baek Cheon interrupted, but Yoon Jong, who had somehow come inside and listened to the story, nodded as if it made sense.
"It might be possible for someone who doesn't know. The basic technique I saw earlier looked like a messed-up plum blossom."
"It just seemed like something red and white was flashing."
"There aren't many martial arts like that. It's not unusual for anyone who's only heard words of the sword of Mount Hua to misunderstand."
"…Really?"
Baek Cheon looked unconvinced, but Jin Yanggeon vigorously nodded as if he had grabbed a lifeline from heaven.
"Yes! Yes, that's right! I didn't go around saying that first, people asked me if I was a disciple of Mount Hua…"
"Haha."
Baek Cheon, who had roughly understood the situation, had a hollow laugh coming out of his mouth. Jin Yanggeon couldn't even make eye contact and bowed his head.
"So, somehow, I ended up pretending to be Mount Hua’s disciple, and that matter snowballed …"
Baek Cheon narrowed his eyes.
That was nonsense.
Even if it started with a misunderstanding, in the end, Jin Yanggeon eventually pretended to be Mount Hua's disciple and tried to deceive Golden Sword Manor with Mount Hua's name.
The moment Baek Cheon tried to point it out, Chung Myung's mouth opened.
"The secret technique."
"Yes?"
"Where did you get that secret technique?"
"…The secret technique?"
Yoon Jong, who had been listening from behind, tilted his head and asked Chung Myung.
"Why are you asking for that secret technique? It sounds like he just accidentally acquired a form similar to Mount Hua's sword while mixing different martial arts."
Chung Myung stares persistently at Jin Yanggeon without replying.
He grabbed Jin Yanggeon by the collar again when the answer didn't come out immediately.
"Hiiiiek!"
Then he pushed his face close and gritted his teeth.
"Can't you hear me?"
"The, the secret technique manual! I bought it from a hunter in my village!"
A hunter?"
Jin Yanggeon nodded furiously as suspicions rose in Chung Myung's eyes.
"Yes! He- He said a wild animal had it in its mouth...….”
For a moment, Chung Myung's grip loosened.
Jin Yanggeon, who thought he had barely survived, looked up at Chung Myung's face and immediately shut his mouth.
He had never seen it anywhere before.
The person with such a look on his face...
"…Where?"
"Yes?"
Chung Myung's slightly trembling voice gradually regained its composure.
"Where is that secret technique manual?"
"At, at my hometown…"
"And the hunter who found the manual probably lives nearby?"
"Yes, that's right."
Chung Myung nodded slowly.
"Let's go."
"…..Yes?"
"Guide me. To your hometown."
Jin Yanggeon's eyes widened at the unexpected remark.
"My, my hometown is very far from here…"
"Doesn’t matter."
Chung Myung said sternly and bluntly.
"It doesn't matter. No matter where it is, even if it's at the end of the world, we'll go."
After speaking, Chung Myung looked back. Before he knew it, the Five Swords, who had all gathered, were looking at him.
As soon as Chung Myung was about to say something, Yoo Iseol opened her mouth first.
"Real."
“…….”
"It’s the real thing, isn’t it? That secret technique?"
Chung Myung nodded.
"Yes."
"It must be retrieved."
"Yes."
"And…."
Yoo Iseol stared at Chung Myung instead of talking. It was Baek Cheon who completed the question.
"We must also check where that secret technique came from, don’t we?"
Chung Myung nodded silently instead of answering. There was a slight hesitation on Baek Cheon's face.
"But Chung Myung. We are here on the order of Sect Leader…"
"Sasuk."
But Chung Myung gently interrupted Baek Cheon. It was not an overpowering but a calm voice.
"I…"
Chung Myung, who bit his lips for a while, said.
"I have to check.”
“…….”
"That’s why……."
There was no need to hear the rest of his words. Baek Cheon turned his head.
"Yoon Jong, Jo-Gol."
"Yes, Sasuk!"
And he ordered with a cold and calm voice.
"Finish the situation here. Move quickly. Confirm the destination from that man and finish preparations so that we can run without rest."
The two quickly nodded their heads.
"Yes, Sasuk!"
"Soso."
"Yes!"
"Tell Beggar Union the situation and that we will leave immediately. Leave the cleanup to them."
"Yes!"
Baek Cheon looks back at Yoo Iseol.
"Just in case, give a rough explanation of the situation to Golden Sword Manor Buju."
"Okay."
"Move!"
Chung Myung stared at Baek Cheon as the disciples dispersed in unison for their duties.
"Sasuk."
"Enough. Let's hear the explanation later. I need to go and check the situation outside first."
“…….”
Baek Cheon turned around and sighed secretly. His steps were heavy.
'Damn it.'
How can I say no when you have that kind of expression on, you damned guy.
Chung Myung, who was staring at Baek Cheon's back as he walked out, looked up to the sky. The sun shining through the broken eaves was too dazzling.
"...It was one, wasn’t it?”
"…Yes?"
"There must be one secret technique and one sword technique in that secret technique manual."
"Y- Yes, that's correct. It was an old manual book that seemed like it could crumble at any moment... It seemed like two techniques were attached together. Two different martial arts..."
Chung Myung nodded his head very slowly.
The sun was too damn bright.
- Why would you fuss around and attach perfectly fine secret techniques together?
- It's easier to carry around this way.
- Why would you carry that around? What kind of lunatic takes a secret technique to the battlefield?
- My role is to protect Mount Hua's martial art. This martial art must never be lost. It's safest for me to carry it on my body.
- Didn't you think it would be a bigger problem if you died first?
- Haha. I have Sahyung here, why would I die? That's not going to happen.
It was all because of that damn bright sun that his eyes stings and he couldn't breathe well.
'Wait for me.'
Even if the only thing left is the white bone. No, even if that white bone was crushed into powder...….
‘I will definitely recognize you.’
- Sahyung.
"I will definitely find you."
The cloudless and clear day hurt even more.
