Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 98
Episode 98 Protestant Outlaw (2)
Poop!
The sound of a small hole being drilled in the rock was not that loud.
But Ma Dong-pil felt a chill run down his spine at that small sound. If Seo-ryang had not warned him, his chest would have been pierced before the rock broke through.
And that’s just one blade of grass.
‘Who the hell?!’
Ma Dong-pil quickly straightened his upper body and looked around.
At that time, Seoliang was already moving.
Wow!
Seo-ryang quickly approached the place where the blade of grass flew and pulled out his sword. It was the Chilyado that I brought with me just in case.
Flash! Para la la rock!
As the wind blows of the Six Hell Winds unfolded, the small grass forest instantly became a mess.
Clearly, Seoliang’s painting method was different from before. Even though he did not pour out all of the six hells of the one-second-meat-eating, the knife movements were smooth and flexible, as if he had been using the Yeohwansik.
That’s why Go Soo’s martial arts skills were all the more remarkable as he dodged Seoliang’s single sword and disappeared into a black dot in the distance.
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes sparkled fire.
Faaagh!
It approaches the bush in an instant. I want to go after him right away.
At that time, Xu Liang raised his hand.
“stop.”
Crash!
Ma Dong-pil stopped.
“Confucius?”
“late.”
Xu Liang frowned.
“It’s a place crowded with hundreds of people in that direction. It’s a civil war, so everyone is just a bunch of experts. “It’s impossible to find his presence among such experts.”
“But…”
“It’s impossible for a country stronger than you, and even for you, who’s better at chasing than me, it’s impossible. Accept it.”
Ma Dong-pil bit his lip. It was an undeniable fact.
Seo-ryang, who was patting his shoulder, approached the rock with blades of grass on it.
“her? “Look at this guy?”
Seoliang whetted his appetite.
“It’s the method of blowing red leaves… It’s faster than an arrow and has the power to pierce even rocks? “Is this a bitch?”
Ma Dong-pil’s face hardened.
“If an expert can use that level of red leaf arsenal, wouldn’t he be worthy of being called a transcendent expert?”
“yes. But that’s not the important thing.”
“yes?”
Seo-ryang looked down into his arms.
The Geumho that was nestled in the front door was yawning lazily. He seemed not at all surprised by this incident.
‘Clearly the survival of the blade of grass was not great. But I would have figured it out beforehand.’
Even though a master of that level was trying to sneak attack, there was no sense of discomfort that comes with extra senses. Even Geumho was slowly closing his eyes as if he was sleepy.
What do you mean?
“Hey Dongpil.”
“Yes, Confucius.”
“What on earth were you doing when I wasn’t around? Did you say goodbye to the unknown super expert’s younger sister?”
“…yes?”
“It wasn’t me he was targeting, it was you.”
“…?!”
“It was aimed at you. “If it had been targeting me, I would have known the attack was coming even before a blade of grass flew.”
Ma Dong-pil’s mouth opened wide in shock.
Xu Liang said with a puzzled expression.
“Do you think you’re screwed?”
* * *
“What’s going on here?”
“Well, it’s not like I’m in a place where I can’t come, so why are you so impressed?”
“I’ve never been impressed. And now look at the Three Confucius. “The person I’m facing doesn’t seem nervous.”
As Gogu said, Seoryang was dressed in quite a fierce outfit.
A white long cloth worn over a black military uniform. It was a great outfit that suited his well-honed physique.
The problem was his armament. On the right side of the belt, he wore a chilya sword, on his back he wore a yuseong twin sword, and on his back he even had a yongrin sword that was only five feet long.
It was literally no different from a warehouse of human weapons. If someone who doesn’t know you sees you, they’ll think you’re going to war somewhere.
Xiliang scratched his head.
“Because it’s a caution to not let your guard down at any time.”
“….”
“You just have to think that’s it.”
“The sword won’t be heavy for such great martial arts skills. However, for smooth conversation, why don’t you keep the sword behind your back by your side?”
“It’s still going to be like that. “It felt comfortable in my hand, but it was really hard to sit on.”
Seoliang sat on a chair with Yongrin Island standing next to him.
Gogu glanced at Yongrindo.
“Handle heavy soldiers?”
“It’s pretty, isn’t it?”
“I didn’t know.”
“I hope you don’t know from now on. “I feel like the more you know about me, the more tired I become.”
It’s not quite enough.
When Lee Cheon-sang gave him a lesson and asked him to draw one of the four swords, Seoryang chose the Yongrindo without hesitation.
I swung that heavy dragon sword for half a day. And that too, towards a powerful person of a different level who would not be able to succeed even with a single attack.
It wasn’t something I consciously chose. No, I didn’t even have time to be conscious of it.
So to speak, it is instinct. This meant that his body had now been trained to the point where he could use his body’s power most efficiently when it weighed about the same as Yongrindo.
Perhaps in the same situation, he would be able to swing it for half a day instead of half a day.
“Well, enough of the small talk, let’s just talk.”
“That’s what I want to say. “What brings you here?”
“Did you hear? “You made a fuss in front of the Demon Sword matriarch.”
“I heard. “It was dizzying.”
“Did you hear that it ended well?”
“Just because there was no stabbing doesn’t mean it ended well.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“why? “Did you not like it?”
“Of course. The Three Dukes were too hasty. Besides, what is that ambiguous question?
“It would have been better if you had announced it to everyone right then and there. By asking a vague question, you only alerted the real culprit.”
“Is this guy crazy? Announce the true crime in front of everyone? “Is there anything I can do to make a fool of myself?”
“What I want to say is that I shouldn’t have come forward in the first place. “The three princes’ remarks will make the real culprit even more reluctant.”
“On the other hand, there are also advantages.”
“advantage?”
“The advantage is that even if the real culprit is in the worst situation, we don’t have to turn the demon sword family into an enemy.”
“…!”
“When you become the head of the Demon Sword Family, you can’t help but think about your reputation. The head of the church answered, even in front of so many people in the church.
“They won’t even look after you because they are your children.”
“….”
“Even if you had eyes to see, you wouldn’t be able to defend the real culprit. At least you won’t be able to move openly. why? Because you lose face.”
Xu Liang smiled coldly.
“Face is the key to determining the rise and fall of power. “I don’t think that the head of the Demon Sword family is someone who would destroy the entire family just to save her eldest son.”
Gogu’s eyes wavered. Only now did he realize why Seoliang had acted so hastily.
“I understand the intention of the Three Dukes. But that’s only a matter of catching the real culprit.
“If we push forward without any evidence, the angry sword of the Demon Sword Lord will aim at us.”
“Well, that’s true.”
“Do you have any other compound eyes?”
“There is no double plan, and now one thing is certain.”
“What is that?”
“The fact is that if I don’t catch the real culprit during the banishment period, the Demon Swordsman will forever look down on me.”
“…!”
“So we have to catch the real culprit at all costs. how is it? “Is your butthole feeling a little sore now?”
“What does it have to do with me that the Demon Sword Family looks down on the Three Dukes?”
“Are you serious?”
Gogu sighed.
“The Three Dukes are a really tired person.”
Anyway, we are all in the same boat. At least this time we must protect each other. Only then will you be able to achieve your goal.
“In return, it definitely boosts morale. Let’s relax and move forward.”
“I don’t think you came all the way to Ye just to talk about that. “What other reason did you come to see me?”
“The main point is good. Previously!”
“What else?”
“I called one more person, will it be okay?”
“You’re calling someone? “What does that mean?”
At that time, I heard the sound of people walking outside the door.
For a moment, Gogu’s eyes wavered. He recognized who the other person was not by the sound of footsteps, but by a subtle prayer.
“Three Dukes….”
“Come in!”
Rattling!
The door opened and Soyeonsim came in.
I don’t know where my usual gentle smile has gone. So Yeon-sim’s expressionless face was so cold that the viewer did not dare to open his mouth even once.
Xiliang cleared his throat.
“You two know each other well, right? “Please say hello.”
Gogu was captured in So Yeonsim’s transparent eyes.
Gogu, who was looking at her with a dull expression, stood up and took the gun.
“It’s been a while.”
“It’s been about two years.”
“I didn’t know that the Three Dukes even called So Wonju.”
“It seems undesirable.”
“….”
“I’m happy. “I would have been even happier if the head of the family had asked for help directly.”
Gogu shook his head.
“I don’t have the honor to see So Wonju.”
“Of course you should. So you came in person, right? “To wash away this uncomfortable relationship.”
It could be that we failed to prevent crime in advance. In the first place, it was Hwan Hee-won’s fault and the court’s fault.
However, it was entirely the criminal court’s fault for arresting Aeman.
And the person who died unjustly accused of being a criminal had worked at Hwanheewon until three years ago.
As a result, due to the wrong investigation by the Criminal Justice Department, Hwanheewon not only lost a family member, but also suffered great hardship.
Gogu looked at Seoliang.
“Couldn’t you have told me at least?”
“I was going to do that, but I didn’t have much time. “I know it was a bit excessive considering our relationship, but just let it go this time.”
Xiliang scratched his head.
“Crucially, So Won-ju has also identified the real culprit to some extent. “He was wandering around the city trying to find it himself.”
“…!”
“Where else would you find someone as talented as this? In that case, it would be better to join forces and catch the real culprit as soon as possible. is not it?”
Gogu sighed. He was especially sighing a lot today.
“I understand.”
“good.”
In this way, the three great figures of Protestantism gathered in one place.
“First of all, before I talk about this or that, I think I should first tell you why I came here.”
Seoliang informed the two of them about what had happened an hour ago.
Soyeonsim and Gogu could not help but be surprised. Anyway, how dare you attack the Three Dukes? Even more so in the Protestant headquarters?
“Exactly, it wasn’t targeting me, it was targeting Dongpil.”
Xu Liang said seriously.
“I talked a lot with Dongpil. And before that, I know very well what kind of guy Dongpil is.
“He’s so stubborn that there are people who don’t like him, but he’s not the kind of guy who will go anywhere and seek out grudges.”
Soyeonsim nodded.
“I agree.”
Although he is not a personal friend, he is Gosu, who was the third leader of the defense court. So Yeon-sim knew Ma Dong-pil’s personality traits quite well.
“Nevertheless, the mysterious master targeted Dongpil. “If they had targeted me, I wouldn’t have thought this much about it.”
“Confucius, what you’re saying is that the mysterious master who targeted Ma Howie actually has no grudge against him?”
“I think this is why I feel comfortable talking to a smart and quick-witted person. Yes I think so.”
“Why do you think that? “I know Howie Ma’s personality, but resentment between people is bound to arise for any reason.”
“If you had a grudge, you should have targeted me even more.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m stronger than Dongpil.”
“….”
“It is more certain to deal with me first, as I am stronger than Dongpil, and then deal with Dongpil later.
Isn’t it? “If you just look at the simple method speed, I’m much faster than Dongpil.”
Soyeonsim nodded.
There is no need to assume that the mysterious master was unaware of Seo-ryang’s inaction. Even if he was not a martial artist, Seo-ryang was an influential figure.
If you wanted to kill Ma Dong-pil so badly, it would be right to deal with Seo-ryang first.
“So rather than worrying about who the mysterious expert is, I thought it was more important to figure out what he was after.”
“So did you get the answer?”
“yes.”
“which…?”
Xu Liang shouted towards the door.
“Dongpil!”
After a while, the door opened and Ma Dong-pil came in.
He took out his sword from his belt.
When Gogu and Soyeonsim saw the sword, their eyes opened wide as if they were torn apart.
“This is the only reason the expert could attack Dongpil.”
Mukwanggeom.
A rare horse soldier who is considered one of the five great demon swords of Shinkyo and one of the ten strongest demon swords.
Xiliang’s eyes deepened.
“And I don’t think this situation has anything to do with catching the real culprit.”
