Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 838

Seeds of Conflict (4)

Pussss.

A white haze rose from the bloody knife.

It was cold and there was snow everywhere that had not yet melted. Since the knife was covered in hot blood, it could have been steaming.

However, the haze rising from the murderer’s knife was not steam, but tangible murder.

‘That’s incredible.’

The official’s eyes hardened.

The knife filled with explosive murderous energy dissipated and the haze that rose up looked as if the souls of dead people who had become ghosts were screaming.

‘I’ve rarely seen life categorized like that.’

I saw it once. It was Yeonhojeong.

Of course, it wasn’t that great compared to Yeon Ho-jeong’s life. Yeon Ho-jeong’s life went beyond the pale haze to the point where it burned like a black flame. It was such an incredible level of concentration that it was amazing that he could live sanely despite having that much life in him.

That woman’s life wasn’t as good as Yeon Ho-jeong’s. But it was more serious than that.

‘Living is much more polished.’

I consciously honed my ability to kill with my sword. To wield that level of life freely with a sword, you need to have murder experience at the level of a murderous demon. It must also be an experience close to a one-sided massacre rather than a simple battle.

That is the minimum condition. In addition, he must have completed his life through many battles.

“Hoo.”

A wry smile appeared on the woman’s face.

I think he was around mid-30s? Even though he looks quite old, he feels strangely innocent. That’s why it was an even scarier smile.

“You’re not the same type as these guys. “The momentum is completely different.”

“….”

“I can’t estimate your skill… It’s amazing, isn’t it? “I can’t see the depth.”

It is the sudden appearance of a master. It’s normal to be nervous if you can’t gauge your skills.

However, the woman showed no sign of nervousness. On the contrary, there was a dangerous and murderous look in the eyes that seemed to sparkle with interest.

The official looked around.

‘Are they bandits?’

The atmosphere in Shaanxi has not been good since the Chongnan War. Even so, looking at these numbers and the degree of training of the body, it must have been quite large.

‘It seems to be a fairly prestigious force. Isn’t it managed by the Mukryongbu?’

At that time, the woman opened her mouth again.

“Hey who are you? “Are you one of these guys?”

The official turned his gaze back to the woman.

The eyes are calm and show no signs of tension at all.

The woman’s eyes, which had been filled with excitement due to her inability to calm down, gradually hardened.

Sreuk.

The woman took a step back.

It was only one step, but the distance increased by three steps. His ability to kill many bandits alone with very smooth movements was revealed from his walking techniques.

And in fact, the woman’s skills were incredible.

‘Like grains of sand on the beach, many are said to be retired masters, but at that age, they have already surpassed the radish species and have reached the stage of maturity.’

Compared to himself, he is clearly inferior. However, considering the woman’s age, it was truly remarkable.

The official said with a calm face.

“You are a great expert.”

“….”

“Where did you study?”

It was a voice full of composure.

It was the leisure of the strong. Although the woman’s life is amazing and her skills are beyond reproach, she is still a long way off compared to Tang Guan, the emperor of Sichuan.

It is said that it is a fight that needs to be fought, but the gap is already clear. The woman’s tension was increasing due to the presence unconsciously emanating from the hotel.

“Who are you? “Reveal your identity!”

A woman shouting harshly while pointing a knife at the officer.

Tang Yun’s eyes became cold.

He was a wise man, but he was also a Jinseong Dangga person who inherited the blood of his older brother Dang. I couldn’t feel good in front of someone who dared to speak like that to the head of the party family.

The official opened his mouth.

“I can’t communicate.”

“I asked who it was!”

It would not be difficult to identify its identity just by looking at the patterns engraved on its clothes. Anyone who is a martial artist knows the pattern of the Tang family.

It was difficult to understand from common sense that he would say such a thing after seeing the scorpion and snake marks engraved on the sleeves and chest of the official.

‘I wonder if I can leave it alone.’

You don’t feel bad if the other person doesn’t recognize you. Although his tone is harsh, it would be difficult to look favorably on Go Soo, who suddenly appears in the middle of the night.

However, what worried the party officials was not the fact that they did not recognize the mark of the party family, but the extreme killing that flowed from that woman’s sword.

‘It’s a dangerous life. If you exude that level of honed lethality, no matter how good you think about it, it’s hard to call him a good person. But…’

The official was inwardly shaken.

‘Even though there is no dispute, it is difficult to take action.’

Even if you use your hands deliberately, I don’t think you will respond obediently when you see those venomous eyes.

Of course, he had all kinds of torture methods that could make even the best poisoner open his mouth. If you just write down a few words and memorize words that immediately come to mind, you will even spit out the names of ancestors that you don’t remember.

The question is whether there is a need to go that far.

‘There’s no need to deliberately find out, but I can’t just leave it like that. ‘I’ll have to ask my companions.’

It was time for the party to decide to let go.

“stop.”

The woman and Dangyun were startled by the voice that came from somewhere.

“The opponent is the owner of the Murim family that conquered Sacheon. “Put away your sword.”

It was a sonorous voice.

The voice of a young and energetic young man. Although there was no particular majesty, it was very nice to hear a voice that calmed the listener.

Slurp!

The woman who quickly led the way walked to a corner and bowed her head.

For a moment, Tang Yun was startled.

‘when?!’

There was a rather large kiln in a deep shadow near the stone wall.

It was a palanquin, not a carriage. The two large, expressionless men appeared to be palanquin operators.

‘Why didn’t I find it?’

The palanquin was still there. It’s just that Dangyun couldn’t find it.

“Are you going to step forward now?”

The official turned his head toward the palanquin.

“That’s amazing. I didn’t even notice until halfway through. If you are a master, it is easy to hide your presence, but you cannot make the palanquin invisible.”

“As expected, you are amazing.”

Shake!

The door of the kiln opened and a man appeared.

He was tall and of slim build. Although not flashy, he was wearing very luxurious silk clothes and even held a sword in his hand.

Tang Yun’s eyes sparkled.

‘He’s handsome.’

He was a typical young man with a literary style. He had no blemishes on his white skin and his five senses were clear, so no matter where he went, he would be told he was handsome.

Although people may have mixed feelings about his overly feminine appearance, it was clear that he was a handsome man who was hard to find anywhere. It can be said that her appearance is truly amazing, as attention is drawn to her face rather than the clothes and atmosphere she is wearing.

The young man lowered his head.

“My person was blind and did not know this great person. “I’m a person who’s been sharpening my whole life, so I’m not interested in what’s going on in the world.”

“….”

“As the owner, I will apologize for this rudeness.”

There was a sad look on the officer’s face.

Calm and relaxed tone of voice. The voice was full of regret.

It is such an exemplary figure that it completely erases the impression of a woman who has been slashing with a deadly knife. There was no flaw in anything, from the lowered head, the expression beneath it, the way he spoke, and even his voice.

The officer who was quietly looking at the young man asked a question.

“Is it true?”

The young man, who straightened his posture, smiled and nodded.

“That’s right. As you can see, I had a weak body, so I had to learn at least some fighting techniques to protect myself in this harsh world.”

The ability to hide the palanquin and its workers.

The official laughed.

“After all, the world is wide.”

During the Tang Dynasty incident, I was trapped in the formation of the Gwanghyeolgyo bastards, and later I also studied the formation used by the Gwimun.

Since the opponent was the best in the history of the party, he was broken through in vain, and even if he was just a party official, it would have been difficult to withstand Guimun’s battle. He was not even close to Jinbeop in the first place.

After that, I studied Jinbeop from time to time, but it was still a difficult and mysterious study. Even if I reached the end with my martial arts skills, I felt like I would give up before I could even reach the halfway point of Mt. Taisan with my fighting skills.

“It’s a bit weird that the other person knows my identity but I don’t know the other person. “Who are you?”

The young man answered politely.

“sorry. Due to circumstances, I cannot reveal my affiliation. “But I can tell you the three letters of my trivial name.”

“For some reason… So what’s your name?”

“It is called Cheonhyorak (天曉樂).”

The name is truly unique.

The official tilted his head.

“It’s a name I’ve never heard of.”

“You will.”

It was a strange answer.

The corner of the official’s mouth, who was quietly looking at Cheon Hyo-rak, went up.

“The smell of blood was strong. Life was great too. “I wanted to ignore it, but I couldn’t ignore it because it was my place, so I came to this point.”

“I see.”

“But is this a coincidence?”

Cheon Hyorak smiled.

The bright smile was so beautiful.

“What a coincidence. I never imagined that I would meet the owner of the Sichuan Tang clan on my way to the Baekdo Martial Alliance.”

“You’re on your way to the Murim League?”

“That’s right.”

Two parties heading to the village. A meeting on the street.

“What a coincidence.”

“Yes, what a coincidence.”

The official who was looking at Cheon Hyorak turned his attention to the woman.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but do you mind if I go with that dangerous knifeman?”

“Haha, it may seem a bit dangerous, but if it were my order, I would be the type of person who would jump into the fire carrying a firewood. “You don’t have to worry.”

“Don’t worry. “The question is whether you are qualified.”

“Oh, since you are the master of the party, you must have a great say in the Murim Alliance.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s amazing, but it works if you put in a lot of effort.”

“Is my guard someone who shouldn’t be in the military?”

“I don’t know about that, but I don’t think anything good will come of going in.”

Cheon Hyo-rak said calmly.

“Then, we can safely carry them to the Murim Alliance and wait outside the Alliance.”

It was a gentle response. There was not a single sign of displeasure.

The official laughed.

“You can’t reveal your identity?”

“It will become clear when we go to the meeting.”

“I see.”

“Mr. King, it is a coincidence that I have met you here, so would you give me the honor of being with you?”

It goes one step further.

He himself will know. The fact that your words and actions can cause strange misunderstandings in others.

Still, I don’t care at all. In fact, he was even suggesting to the hotel that we should go together.

Not to anyone else, but to the master of the Tang clan, a manipulator of poison and memorization.

The officer shrugged his shoulders.

“I didn’t know I’d meet a friend on the way. However, our moving speed is quite fast. Is that okay?”

“of course. “These guys also have nimble legs, so they’ll be able to keep pace somehow.”

It was said about palanquin workers. In fact, the skill of the palanquin drivers was worthy of being called a peak expert.

‘What a strange guy.’

And it was a strange group.

‘I’m going to the Murim Alliance anyway…’

The official smiled.

It was a smile that was difficult to find friendly.

“I’ll give you directions.”

“It is an honor, matriarch.”

“Let’s go.”

“yes.”

Cheon Hyorak’s face, which was otherwise bright, became even brighter.

“It looks like I will have great luck. “Seeing as how I got to meet the biggest loser in Sichuan.”

The official laughed.

“We will have to wait and see whether it will be great luck or the worst misfortune of our lives. I am a person famous for being unlucky.”
