Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return - Chapter 158
Episode 158:
Is there a warrior who doesn’t know Namgung So-hye’s name?
The main family of the Eight Great Families and the home of the Emperor of Swords.
Although its name is unlikely to be mentioned now, the Namgung family is still engraved in the minds of many people as a prestigious political faction.
The eldest daughter of that place, Namgung Sohye, was famous for her outstanding martial arts skills and beautiful face.
Just looking at the position she earned in the Murim Alliance at such a young age, she was by no means an opponent to be taken lightly.
The men were shocked and stepped back.
however.
Sigh!
The moment he was about to step back, the extended sword cut into another man’s body. The blood splattered aroused the men’s fear.
“Ugh…!”
The expression of the man who appeared to be the captain hardened.
Unlike what I was told that I only had to deal with the police officers, the mere presence of Namgung So-hye put me in a very bad situation.
He knew very well how much damage one person’s high-level unmanning can cause.
‘Should I step back?’
Jump, jump, jump!
At that time, Kwon Moo-jin, who was behind Namgung So-hye, stepped forward.
He looked at the worried figure of the captain and had a faint smile on his lips. It was clearly a laugh mocking the other person.
“It is the master’s order. “You all die.”
“Crazy guy! “Are you trusting only one person, Namgung Sohye, and looking down on us?”
The man was angry.
It was true that they were afraid of Namgung So-hye, but they were not that lacking in skills either.
If you put your mind to it, you can at least kill it if you make some sacrifices.
” huh?”
The moment I was thinking that. The man widened his eyes. The twin swords that Kwon Moo-jin holds in both hands. It was so familiar.
A man who blocked his path a long time ago when there was a dispute with Sapa.
It looked very similar to the weapon the man was holding.
When I looked again, those eyes and face seemed familiar.
“No way… So… So Ssangdo?”
“Do you know me?”
“This is crazy!”
“Look at me.”
The man cursed and ground his teeth.
What is comfortable about this?
All you have to do is catch the arrogant magistrate and that’s it?
All you have to do is kill the police officers who get in your way?
Damn, it was a good harvest.
It is ridiculous to even say that this situation, with Namgoong Sohye and even Sossangdo and Kwon Moojin, is the worst. It is no different from simply opening the gates of hell.
If you want to live, you have to run.
“Did
n’t I tell you to give up the thought of running away!”
Ugh!
A loud shout was heard.
Hong Won-chang, who made a loud noise from behind, flew through the air and fell among them.
It seemed that the deep dent in the ground wasn’t just due to the weight of his body
.
Hong Won-chang, who gained a level of power by using the elixir and inner altar that he had bought for his son Hong Jin-rang, swept around the surrounding area without hesitation, swinging his sword.
confidence?
It’s not like that.
The moment I realized that my opponent’s momentum had broken, I instinctively knew that I had to dig in.
Hong Won-chang’s blade swung without hesitation
.
Chop clap clap!
“Kwaaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
Although she did not have the skills to instantly overpower her opponents like Kwon Moo-jin or Namgung So-hye, it was an action that could completely discourage those who were scared.
Namgung So-hye and Kwon Moo-jin rushed towards those who were backing away in fear.
“dad! “Look at this!”
I held out a rock I had picked up from somewhere in front of Danwoo Hyeon. Although it was a small stone, its appearance was quite pretty.
Dan Woo-hyeon took it and took out a dagger.
Dan So-mi had a different reason for bringing this to Dan Woo-hyeon.
Ssaksak-!
As the dagger moved back and forth, a small stone was chipped away. Somi, who was wearing it, was watching with bright eyes, and flowers bloomed on her face as if she was in a good mood.
Before I knew it, an incredibly detailed picture had been drawn on the small stone.
It was a picture of a small child picking up stones by the river.
“and! Thank you! “It’s so pretty!”
“Haha, thank you for saying that.”
There were many things in Dansomi’s room.
Most of them were made by Dan Woo-hyeon, and these handicrafts were also his works.
One day, Dan So-mi took it out to show off to Hong Jin-rang, and some merchants made a fuss about selling it to her.
Dansomi smiled and took the stone and took it to her room.
It seemed like they were planning to decorate it again.
“That dexterity is still the same, huh huh.”
Namgung-cheon, who had already come to the side, smiled. I knew
that Dan Woo-hyeon had good dexterity, but
I had no idea that he was capable of engraving pictures on such small stones. Therefore, Nam Gung-cheon quietly held out the stone he was holding in his hand.
“What is this?”
“Please do it for me too.” “I’d like you to do it.”
Dan Woo-hyeon let out a long sigh.
It wasn’t a particularly difficult task, but it was annoying to have to ask for it every time. Because it requires a lot of concentration.
Moreover, what this old man asked me to engrave was the same every time.
“I am asking you in the form of Sohye.”
It was Namgung Sohye.
He thought of his granddaughter so much that most of the handicrafts hanging in Namgung Cheon’s room had Namgung Sohye’s face or likeness on it.
“If you cared so much, shouldn’t you have followed?” Dan Woo-hyeon slowly moved his hands and muttered.
As much as he thought about Dan So-mi, Nam Gung-cheon also thought about Nam Gung So-hye.
That’s why I thought it might be a bit unsettling to be apart.
Because the place where Namgung Sohye went was the battlefield.
Namgung-cheon smiled at the story and sat next to him.
“Don’t you know? “That child is a warrior of heaven.”
“know.”
“As long as you hold a sword, you must entrust your life to the hilt of the sword. Life and death are luck and the child’s skills, so he or she must overcome it on his own. And he needs some real practice.”
“Haven’t we already experienced enough in the Murim Alliance?”
“Hehehe, can the missions given by the government truly be considered actual combat?”
Namgungcheon knows.
Many people watched the Emperor’s thoughts and did not give her a difficult mission.
But in order to grow, you had to fight for your life.
“Is that so now?”
“well…?”
Since I didn’t know my opponent, I couldn’t speak Katabuta, but it was true that I entrusted myself to the battlefield anyway. With that alone, Namgungcheon was satisfied.
But Dan Woo-hyeon laughed.
“This matter is not for Namgoong Sohye and Kwon Moojin.”
“huh?”
“It would have been enough if only one of those two had gone.”
Since Dan Woo-hyeon knew the skills of the two people better than anyone else, he knew that this task would actually be easier than a piece of cake.
On the other hand, since the opponent has no idea about this side’s capabilities, those sent will not be that strong either.
“Then… what?”
“Yes, Hong Won-chang.”
Hong Won-chang was someone who served Dan Woo-hyeon in a different way from Jang Sam-tae.
If Jang Sam-tae remained in this manor out of reverence for Jeong, Dan So-mi, and Dan Woo-hyeon, Hong Won-chang had only blind loyalty to Dan Woo-hyeon.
However, if you feel that you have not gained anything worth the loyalty you gave, you may turn your back on it.
This may be the case due to Hong Won-chang’s calculating and career-oriented personality. Therefore, it was sent with the intention of using this opportunity to test one’s own skills.
“He definitely didn’t go beyond forty lines, right? “It seems a bit late… for a great success.”
“Why do so many martial artists learn martial arts from childhood?”
“This is because you can learn it quickly if you learn it properly from a young age, as well as the flexibility of your body.”
Dan Woohyun nodded.
That was the reason why many people accepted young disciples, citing their talent and all.
A certain level of talent was important, but basically what Namgungcheon said was the correct answer.
“Yes, but even if you get older, flexibility doesn’t matter if you work hard. The problem is how quickly you can make what you have learned through practice your own.”
“…Well, now that I think about it, I guess it’s not wrong.”
Nangong Cheon also nodded.
No matter how rigid a person’s body was, if he practiced hard, it would gradually loosen up.
This is a problem because they are slower than children, but there is no major problem in learning martial arts.
“Hong Won-chang will move forward. “This fight is the first step toward that end.”
“Hoo… Are you going to keep using him?”
“I do not reject those who follow me first.”
“Hehehe, that’s right.”
Namgungcheon smiled pleasantly.
Dan Woo-hyeon sometimes showed a harsh personality.
This much was certain because I felt it while watching from the side.
If he felt that he was not needed among the people in the manor, he might have thoughtlessly kicked them out.
The person who did that is trying to embrace one or two people.
This could be said to be a pretty good change.
“You’ve changed.”
“Change? I? “I am still just me.”
“Isn’t that natural?” Dan Woo-hyeon has not yet realized the change in himself.
Because they have always remained themselves, they do not notice little changes.
However, people watching from the side could see a little bit of the change.
“By the way, where have Jang Sam-tae and Ma Jang-gang really gone?”
“errand.”
“Wouldn’t it take a little long?” Namgung-cheon opened his eyes with a sigh.
I said it was just an errand, but I haven’t seen him in months.
Considering that the people in the manor had never been gone for more than three days, it seemed like Jang Sam-tae had gone quite far away.
Last time, I thought it would come back soon and moved on, but if it took this long, it meant there was another reason.
“Is there anything else?”
“Even back then, if you said it, it exists, and if it doesn’t, it doesn’t exist. “If nothing happens, nothing will be better than that.”
Namgung-cheon opened his eyes suddenly.
These words came from the mouth of Dan Woo-hyeon, not someone else.
I couldn’t ignore a single word that came out of his mouth.
But for now I just had to move on.
No matter how you ask, you will get the same answer.
That’s how heavy Dan Woo-hyeon’s mouth was.
“Well… you will take care of everything. Oh, did you hear that story?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard that the Sapa group that invaded Shaanxi has withdrawn.”
Dan Woohyun nodded slightly.
Whether they withdraw or not, whether a bloody fight breaks out or not, their expressions did not even change, as if they had not the slightest emotion.
I just quietly touched the stone and opened my mouth.
“That’s a good thing.”
