Warrior Grandpa and Supreme Granddaughter - Chapter 23

Episode 23: What was to come (1)

I hoped it would be rain, but what was to come did not come.

If you came alone, you wouldn’t be an average bet. I wasn’t sure if I could handle it with my current physical strength.

‘But if I leave here like this, where will I go?’

The plan was to stay at Yangju Mountain at least until he underwent a complete transformation and regained his status as a non-commissioned person.

Living a wandering life and running away was too harsh for a granddaughter who was growing up.

If we could defeat the master of the Shaman faction, we would gain time again, but there was no answer unless we solved the fundamental problem.

“Elder…”

The bandit from Heuksan Island who came to ask for help was bowing his head.

Yu Jin-san’s worries gradually deepened.

The situation was different from when Cheongrang attacked.

If I had been young, I would have hit it, whether it was porridge or food. However, now that she had to raise her granddaughter, she couldn’t throw her life away carelessly.

‘The priority would be to check whether there is a chance of winning.’

Still, the frustration of the current situation did not change.

“You foolish bastards, didn’t I tell you to run away a long time ago?”

The bandit could not respond to his scolding and lowered his head.

“….”

How could a single subordinate be guilty? I had heard separately from Pungho the reason why Heuksando could not escape Yangjusan Mountain. It was impossible to criticize the path they chose.

Jin-san Yu sighed and got up.

“Let’s go alive first.”

“Thank you, old man!”

Yu Jin-san said as he tied his granddaughter on his back with a wrapping cloth.

“I haven’t said I’ll help you yet. “I don’t mind if an old lady dies, but if something goes wrong, my granddaughter will have no one to take care of her.”

“Do not worry. When the old man passes away, I will…”

Yu Jin-san grabbed the Hwaryongshin Spear, an heirloom, and hit him on the buttocks with the handle.

Wow!

“Ahh!”

“Such a helpless guy. “Fight until your death.”

The bandit, who was crying, grabbed his buttocks and followed Yu Jin-san.

Wild vegetables on Heuksan Island near the summit of Yangju Mountain.

There was a deep war cloud hanging over Chaeju’s palace.

“How did you end up killing a shaman sect’s master? “Are you really sane?”

The person protesting was Wol Ah-seong, Chaeju of Bihochae.

He was acquainted with Pungho, the owner of Heuksando Island, as a rival.

“There was just a little accident.”

“Because of that accident, many of my subordinates died. “Why on earth would you do something like that?”

Pungho also sighed as if he was frustrated.

“Let’s put out the urgent fire first. “He will be here soon.”

The Gosu who came here was slaughtering all the bandits in the vicinity, including Bisanchae and Heuksando.

Bisanchae, which numbered more than 50 people, had only about a dozen left, and Heuksan Island was also in a situation where those patrolling were dying one by one.

Whether we liked it or not, we were now destined to be in the same boat.

Yue Ah-seong gritted his teeth as if he was angry.

“Even if I die today, I will avenge my subordinates.”

“If he comes in alive, let’s all attack him at the same time.”

Did you say that the enemy of your enemy can become your friend? Feng Hao and Yue Ah Sheng, who had been keeping each other in check, came together for the first time.

At that time, the door to the palace opened and a woman wearing leopard print appeared.

It was Hyunhee, the commander of Heuksando Island, who had come after completing reconnaissance.

“He is one of the four martial arts swordsmen with the nickname Hyeopseonggeom. “He is one of the most powerful among the disciples, so even if people like us attack him in groups, he cannot be defeated.”

Why did he not like the idea of a strange woman nagging him? Yue Asheng frowned and looked at Feng Hao.

“Who on earth is this woman? “It must be possible for any executive of Heuksan Island to enter and leave Chaeju’s palace without permission.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the blade of the sword was pulled out from Hyeonhui’s waist like a thunderbolt.

Then, the tip of the sword that soared into the sky slowly lowered and headed towards Wolaseong’s uvula.

At a glance, it was a graceful movement and speed that could not have been achieved by a bandit.

She asked clearly, looking as serious as possible.

“Do I look easy because I’m a woman? Would you like to try it out?”

It imitates the appearance of Geomhu seen in the guesthouse.

Yue A-seong’s expression hardened and he was unable to speak for a while.

As the atmosphere became strange, Pung Ho intervened.

“How can we face a strong enemy if we clash swords when even our combined strength would not be enough? “Please quickly take away your sword.”

“joy!”

As Hyunhee lowered her sword, Pungho briefly introduced both sides.

When Yue Ah-seong heard of her identity, he made a bewildered expression. It seemed like he wanted to know more details, but there was no time to waste time on trivial details.

“How strong is he? “If the three of us attack together, do we have a chance of winning?”

“We can’t do it on our own. “He is a master who has reached his peak.”

Those whose strength is less than 10 years from the start are classified as third-class, and most bandits fall into this category.

From then on, the second-class and first-class were divided based on the inner strength of the half-gapja, and the three people who are now meeting their heads here were at the borderline level.

And those who go beyond the first-class level and are called the pinnacle are seasoned experts with at least one level of prowess.

The peak was the same as the final state that ordinary warriors could achieve. This is because the next stage, Hwagyeong (化境), is the state of the Absolute that can only be reached through enlightenment.

“A peak expert…”

Feng Hao and Yue A-seong’s expressions darkened at the same time.

If what she said was true, it was not something that bandits and the like could handle.

The hall fell silent for a moment. But what is the use of worrying?

After a while, Pung-ho broke the silence and looked at Hyeon-hee.

“Isn’t there a better way?”

“In cases like this, it is standard practice to respond with normal tactics. If that doesn’t work…”

What kind of strategy do the bandits have? Pungho looked forward to her next words.

“…?”

“We have a grandfather.”

Mt. Yujin was definitely at its peak level. In its heyday, that is.

The only problem was that there was only a moment in time for such power to be unleashed.

In any case, there would be no better reinforcements than that in the current situation.

“As long as the old man helps us, we might have a chance of winning. But there’s no way he would fight for us…”

“But he’s an adult next door. “I already asked for help, just wait.”

I had some expectations, but I wasn’t sure.

Bihochae’s Wolaseong, who did not know the meaning, urged Pungho.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I don’t have time for any more pointless conversations here. “Let’s get ready to face him.”

“All right. We have placed archers at all watchtowers, so we can buy some time…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a huge explosion erupted outside.

Kwaaang-!!

A scream echoed with the sound of trees breaking.

It seemed like the watchtower was the first to be destroyed.

Soon, the sounds of whistles announcing an intrusion were heard urgently from all over the mountain complex.

Pungho took up his sword and strengthened his fighting spirit.

“The momentum is amazing. “He’s arrived, so let’s get out.”

At that time, Hyunhee, who had been hesitant, spoke with a dark expression as if she had decided on something.

“You can’t win through normal means.”

As she took off the leopard print she was wearing, Pungho asked in surprise.

“What are you trying to do?”

“You probably don’t know that I have become Heuksando. “I’ll take you hostage and try to distract you.”

“But… wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

She was already hiding a dagger in her underwear with a solemn expression.

When Feng Hao hesitated, Yue A-seong put his sword blade to her neck and said,

“If the borrower doesn’t want to do it, I will do it. By the looks of it, your acting seems clumsy.”

“….”

“There is no time to hesitate, so take the lead.”

It was not the time to take risks.

Kwaang-!

The door to the palace opened and Pungho was the first to jump out.

And he was astonished by the sight that unfolded before his eyes.

“This can’t be right…”

A Shaman sect’s Taoist monk, his entire body covered in blood, was lowering his sword in the center of the living quarters.

The number of subordinates scattered around him already exceeded ten.

There was not a single person with intact limbs. They all died painfully.

About eighty bandits surrounded the area, but no one could get close and hesitated.

Hyeopseonggeom (俠性劍) Jeong Hyeon. He was very indignant.

“How on earth… how on earth did bandits and the like dare to learn the swordsmanship of a shaman! “Why can’t I say it the right way?”

He seemed very proud.

Seeing Jeong Hyeon’s extreme anger, the bandits took a step back.

The moment the wind of fear swept through the living creatures, a sarcastic voice was heard from somewhere.

“I learned it from this bitch.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to the inside of the living quarters.

There, Wol Ah-seong was approaching Hyeon-hee with a knife to her neck.

Jeonghyeon’s expression as he looked at her in her underwear changed every moment.

“Aren’t you Hyunhee, a disciple of Lee University?”

“Jeonghyeon, Sasuk….”

“Are you the only one who survived?”

“Yes…”

Jeonghyeon closed his mouth and thought for a moment.

In the silence, Wol Ah-seong, holding Hyeon-hee, slowly walked forward.

“If you don’t want to see this bitch lose, throw away your weapon.”

Jeonghyeon’s head tilted gently to the right. It seemed like something was measuring the angle.

After a moment he let go of the weapon.

Are you trying to give up like this? Wolaseong looked puzzled at the unexpectedly obedient manner in which he obeyed.

And the moment the sword falls helplessly and touches the floor. Everyone watching was startled and flinched. This is because Jeong Hyeon’s foot advanced like lightning and kicked the end of the handle.

Wow!

It was a surprise attack that caught off guard.

The sword rushing through the air was aimed precisely at Yue A-seong’s eyebrows.

Wow!

It was a threatening attack, but Yue Ah-seong was not an easy person either.

The blade aimed at Hyeonhee changed direction and blocked the path of the flying sword.

Kaan-!

The joy of successfully defending was short-lived. Wol Ah-seong’s eyes, which were relieved, opened wide as if they were torn apart. This is because Jeonghyun, who had already come close to us, was putting his front foot forward.

It was truly a movement like a thunderbolt.

Kwasik-!

“Ugh!”

He fell as many as three feet away, and Pungho came over and helped him up.

Jeonghyeon was looking at Hyeonhee as he retrieved his sword.

“Did you teach martial arts to these insects?”

“I’m sorry, Sasuk. “I was so scared…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jeonghyeon’s palm moved first.

Sigh-!

After repeatedly slapping her, he glared at Hyeonhee with murderous eyes as if his anger was not going away.

“How could you do such a crazy thing? When you return to Wudang Mountain, I will interrogate you for your crimes in front of Jang Mun-in and Master!”

“….”

Hyunhee, whose face was red, lowered her head and moved behind him.

And then, Feng Ho and Wol Ah-seong faced the excited Jeong Hyeon.

Although bandits surrounded the area, they knew even better that they were of no help.

“From now on, I will ask you for the crime of daring to surpass the martial arts skills of a shaman. “Don’t think about dying in peace.”

Jeong Hyeon’s eyes were filled with a deep murderous spirit.

The bandits also had nowhere to retreat.

The mixed group of Heuksando and Bisanchae took their stance, surrounding him in layers.

But no matter how many rats there are, they cannot withstand a wild beast. There was fear in everyone’s eyes that could not be hidden.

“There is no need for you to be killed, so everyone step down.”

Pungho pulls the sword with his shoulder.

The subordinates who watched Chaeju’s tragic appearance were heartbroken.

“Chaeju…”

“If we are defeated, we must all scatter in different directions and find a way to survive. No matter how fast the author is, he cannot do anything about all of us.”

Any further conversation was meaningless. Feng Hao and Yue A-seong stood shoulder to shoulder and prepared for a clash.

Jeong Hyeon’s face as he looked at them was filled with a laughable expression.

He muttered, holding his left hand behind his back and extending his sword forward.

“From now on, I will make you feel how insignificant you are.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Hao and Yue A-seong kicked the ground at the same time.

Taaa-!

Just as they were about to start fighting.

Behind a tree about twenty feet away, an old man carrying a child was watching them with shining eyes.

The appearance was similar to that of a wild beast watching its prey and waiting for an opportunity.
