Absolute Regression - Chapter 25

Episode 25 You’ve come to the right place.

“What is this guy?”

Kwon asked, glaring at both parties.

“He’s a ronin who hasn’t been eliminated yet.”

“It should have been eliminated! “The original promise was to hand over only women and children, right?”

“I will handle it.”

“Deal with it now!”

Both parties approached me with swords drawn. He was confident he could beat me. How many conceits and illusions my young face will cause in the future, how many two parties it will bring about.

“Just looking at them, they are Parakho cubs who betrayed their owners. Will they be able to receive the right money? “He’s probably going to kill me and take the money I’m going to give you.”

Then Kwon’s eyes lit up.

“what? “A Parakho cub who betrayed his master?”

“I stopped at that level because it was in front of the child.”

Kwon laughed as if it were absurd.

“This is strangely crazy.”

“You were embarrassed because you hit the nail on the head, right? Were you really trying to kill that guy and make money? “Don’t do that. I killed all of my colleagues and came all the way here.”

Kwon’s face turned red, unable to hide his true feelings.

“You damn bastard!”

Kwon shouted to his subordinates.

“Kill that bastard first!”

Three masked people stepped forward.

“Look, that bastard starts first. “Aren’t you saying it’s me and then you?”

Both parties could not hide their embarrassment at those words.

“Even if I run away, I have to take the money.”

The two parties, which had taken a step back, were shocked.

“What nonsense? “When did I run away?”

The exact moment he got angry.

Whoosh!

Kwon’s surprise memorization split the air. Unable to avoid the sudden memorization, both parties collapsed.

“The idiot is handling things like this.”

I said, looking at the two dead parties.

“If you live like that, your turn will come like this.”

This time I spoke to Kwon.

“You are just like him. I have to save at least one person to deal with me. What if I kill you because you lose your temper? “How can everyone survive for so long if they are so bad at controlling their anger?”

“How long are you going to listen to that bastard’s spout?”

As Kwon shouted, the three masked men approached with swords drawn.

Indeed, they were powerful people who did not need to save the two parties and use them as a shield.

I looked at the woman and pretended to cover the child’s eyes. The woman hugged the child and covered her eyes and ears.

I didn’t drag this fight out for long.

I jumped first before they attacked.

Among the Wind God Treasures, he displayed the Myeongwang Treasure.

Even though he was barely a toddler, he turned his opponent into a newborn.

They were not given a chance to defend themselves. In a flash, I was right in front of the other person’s nose, and the moment he recognized me, his head was cut off.

I could see the eyes of the second man’s mask widening. If I could read his thoughts, I think it would be like this. ‘omg! In ‘What…’, his throat was also slit.

The third masked man failed to respond appropriately even though his two colleagues were dead.

The time that actually passed was still before I could blink.

It was an attack that could not be blocked even if prepared for a hundred years with their skills now that the Wind God’s Treasure had been added to my original martial arts skills. Just like before, the third masked man also dug into the Myeongwangbo and slashed with a flying sword.

Kwon was looking at me with a shocked face. In his eyes, three sword lines were drawn at the same time, and it seemed as if his subordinates were also falling down all at once.

“Quick sword technique?”

“I didn’t even use the quick sword technique, but it must have looked that way to you now.”

“What are you?”

Kwon’s voice trembled in fear.

Instead of answering, I asked the woman.

“Who is he?”

“Gwonwon was one of the vassals who protected our family. “I am Geum Sa-yeon, the wife of Golden Jangju.”

“Golden cabinet!”

I reacted in surprise, but I actually knew her identity.

This woman’s father was Geum Asu, one of the top ten merchants in the central plains, the richest man in Fujian and the owner of a gold cabinet.

It was the reason I ran so far.

The Golden Rebellion.

That was the incident that Lim Chu told me about. An incident in which the Golden Lord lost his life after being betrayed by the vassal he trusted the most.

The daughter of Geumjangju, who had escaped their attacks due to a change in schedule, tried to run away by hiring a ronin, but in the end, they all lost their lives.

“I want to hire a small cooperative. Please help us.”

“Now that the situation has changed, my price has become higher.”

“thank god. This is because no matter how expensive the ransom is, they can afford it. Please kill the author and save my father.”

Then Gwonwon begged me.

“Save me and stick with us. “I’ll tell the old man and ask him to give me more money than that woman!”

“You’re giving me more money than the daughter of the golden owner? how?”

For a moment, Kwon Won was speechless.

I walked towards him and scolded him coldly.

“I heard you were a vassal? “Then your seat should be in front of that woman and child.”

Gwon Won desperately tried to avoid my sword, but the difference in skill between us was not something that could be made up by struggling to survive.

My sword cut through Gwonwon’s bones and flesh and even pierced his heart.

He collapsed with a single scream. It was only when Geum Sa-yeon saw him die that she felt relieved. Of course, the child’s eyes and ears were covered.

I searched through the arms of Kwon Won and the masked people and took a sword to use as a memorizer. Wherever you need to go from now on, enemies will be swarming around.

“let’s go.”

“We have to take our sheep to a safe place first.”

I said as I got on the coach seat.

“Get on. “The safest place right now is next to me.”

Geum Sa-yeon’s worries did not last long. I saw my skills firsthand, and if it weren’t for me, I would have died anyway.

As soon as she got on with the child, the carriage started to run quickly back the way it came.

* * *

Yeosang (呂相).

He is the head of Yeogajang, the guardian of the Golden Market, and the instigator of today’s betrayal.

He prepared for ten years for today’s big move. During those years, the main warriors of the Golden Jang were appeased, some were eliminated by feigning accidents, and those that could not be appeased or eliminated were sent out far away.

He thought he had succeeded completely. Until I reappeared with Geum Sa-yeon.

When Geum Sa-yeon and the child got off the carriage, he smiled brightly. He mistakenly thought that his subordinates had captured the two men alive.

“Hahaha!”

If he had missed these hats, he would not have been able to sleep comfortably for the rest of his life.

“Where has Gwon Won gone?”

He thought I was Gwon Won’s subordinate.

“He’s dead. “Everyone is dead except me.”

He must have sensed some discomfort in my tone of voice, but he was more curious about the next question.

“To which one?”

“He was a young and handsome Shinbi expert.”

“what?”

Yeosang shouted with an expression of incomprehension.

“Pathetic bastard! “What on earth are you thinking, praising your enemy like that?”

“Because it’s true.”

“good night. Let’s say so. Then how did you survive…”

Yeosang was shocked and then realized the situation.

“It’s you!”

I answered with a faint smile.

Yeosang shouted and gathered his subordinates. They came in a swarm and surrounded me and the carriage.

“If you saved the woman and child, you should have run away. Why did you come back to the tiger’s den?”

I looked around.

“Where is the tiger here? “It’s full of bastards who bit the owner who raised them.”

Not only Yeosang, but also those around him radiated murderous spirit. They were the warriors of Geumjang who betrayed Yeosang’s beasts. Because something was pricking them, they covered their conscience with even colder anger.

Geum Sa-yeon, standing next to the carriage, hugged her son tightly. It was a scary situation, but she didn’t look scared. She knew full well that leisure was only for the strong, and as a merchant, she was quick-witted. She took her son into the carriage so that I could fight in peace.

Yeosang also felt that I was not normal, so he was very cautious.

“Who are the small cooperatives? First, let’s go inside and have a drink and talk. “I will treat you to a good drink.”

“There is no need to be so polite. Even if you pretend to be nice, they won’t notice you. Even if I beg, they won’t look at me. So feel free to curse and be damned.”

Yeosang, who sensed that appeasement would not work, gave a cold command.

“Joint together and kill!”

He emphasized the word ‘joint work’.

As soon as the order was given, people came rushing in from all directions.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dagger flew from my hand with the sound of a cool breeze. When I thought that I should avoid it or throw it away, Bisu had already cut off that thought and had stuck in my vital spot. The running warriors fell and rolled around on the floor.

The secret art he learned in his life before his return was the secret art of escape from the secret world of secret swordsman Seo Mun-cheol.

I have never found a better martial art than this before or since, so it was a martial art that I could carry with me for the rest of my life.

As the rain fell, the survivors were seen rejoicing. It was a very brief moment of joy that came from the illusion that I was an expert in non-do arts.

I drew my sword and rushed at them. They were at various levels of skill between expert and intermediate, but could not show any distinction in front of the Bicheon Sword Technique that achieved great success.

As I stirred up the hall, all the enemies fell and Yeosang’s face became gaunt.

“Who are you at Daehyeop?”

The sword dripping with blood turned the small cooperative into the large cooperative.

“What is Daehyeop! “He’s just a knifeman passing by and smelling money.”

“How long will it take for you to just leave?”

“Do you have a lot of money?”

“It’s enough to change one person’s life.”

“Why did a guy with so much money do something like this? If you wanted to change your life, you should spend your own money. Why mess with other people’s money? “And the money of the owner who served him.”

Yeosang, who was at a loss for an answer, just bit his lip.

Just when he was racking his brain and wondering what to do.

“Throw away your sword!”

From the building behind him, his subordinate was coming out with a sword pointed at Geum Asu’s neck.

It seems that the subordinates were trying to force me into submission by taking hostages, but Yeosang sighed and looked frustrated at the sight.

I tried to negotiate with me by hiding Geum Asu somehow, but my stupid subordinate brought him outside. Anyway, the incident had already happened, so Yeosang screamed and put pressure on me.

“Quickly throw away your sword! Otherwise, the Golden Lord will die!”

In an instant, a ray of sword energy tore through the air.

Bicheongeombeop ancestral rite ceremony Yeomcheon-sik (炎天式).

Originally, it was a rough and thuggish sword energy display, but when it was unleashed with powerful internal energy from the black magic sword, the momentum was enough to astonish the sky and turn the earth.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The sword energy whirled and flew as if it were alive, hitting the warrior and passing by.

He was hiding three quarters of his body using Geumasu as a shield, but the exposed third had disappeared. The dead body fell down, leaving only Geumasu standing there.

Yeosang must have thought that this was an opportunity after he had poured all his energy into using his sword skills, so he struck with his sword like a thunderbolt.

Because I was prepared, of course the converting blow missed. Yeosang’s loopholes continued to appear in the continuous attacks.

Even if I had worked hard all my life, it wouldn’t have been possible for me, but since greed took over where training should have been, there was no way he could be my opponent.

I could have taken him down right away, but I gave him a few more chances. If I can easily defeat the head of the household, my curiosity and fantasy about myself will grow too much.

Yeosang’s sword flew in succession, aiming for Yohyeol. The attack was desperate because his life was at stake.

People watching may have held their breath at Park Bing’s victory, but my heart was filled with bright scenery.

When thirty or so moves had passed.

Deep.

The fight ended with the sound of flesh being torn.

Yeosang’s sword was thrown out and stopped in the air. Geum Asu’s happy face was reflected on the blade of the sword.

My sword, which crossed Yeosang’s attack at an angle, was lodged in his heart.

Yeosang’s eyes were full of resentment toward me, but I calmly spoke to him.

“You’re the guardian, right? You shouldn’t have done this, right? If you want to make money in your next life, become a merchant. “If you want to kill someone, you can do so.”

Yeosang, who was already dead, couldn’t answer anything. When he drew his sword, he collapsed.

Geum Sa-yeon, who was watching outside through the carriage window with bated breath, cheered and got off with her son.

“father.”

“grandfather!”

Geum Sa-yeon and the child ran to Geum Asu and hugged him.

“Story! “Sheep!”

Geum Sa-yeon shed tears as she hugged her father, and as her mother cried, the child cried along with her.

After a while, the trapped golden warriors were released.

After the inside was cleared, Geum Asu expressed his gratitude to me once again. After hearing the story from Geum Sa-yeon, he was much more grateful for saving his daughter and grandson than for saving himself.

“I will never forget this favor. Sohyeop is the benefactor who saved our family from extinction. “Could you please tell me your honorific name?”

Since I dealt with Yeosang and his subordinates alone, I could imagine how much curiosity there was about me.

“I’m just a ronin passing by.”

“Even if King Ronin had come, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with them this easily.”

“That is an overstatement.”

When I finally refused to reveal my identity, Geum Asu did not ask any more questions.

Geum Sa-yeon told Geum Asu the promise she made earlier.

“I promised Eun-gong. “The compensation will be in money.”

Geum Asu praised his daughter with a satisfied expression.

“Good job. You made the most certain promise.”

After regaining his composure, he finally revealed his side of rejecting Fujian First.

“If what you need is money, you have come to the right place today.”
