Chapter 36. Having Too Much (1)

 

‘What’s this?’

 

Moyong Su Hyang, who had been devoted to Heart Method training at her residence, stopped her training due to the commotion and headed to the Family Head’s Office.

 

‘What on earth is happening again?’

 

The moment she arrived near the Family Head’s Office.

 

Chaang!

 

Lee Jeong drew his sword.

 

“You crazy bastard, where do you think you are!”

 

At that moment, Moyong Bi’s eyes completely changed.

 

“Dogs only bite targets that look easy, they don’t just bark.”

 

“….”

 

“Will you bite? Or will you obediently bark and back down?”

 

“Ha!”

 

“Even if you bark, I recommend barking in moderation. The Main Family people hate noisy things.”

 

It was beyond absurd to the point where his soul might ascend to heaven.

 

“What kind of shameless bastard is this?!”

 

He drew his sword unable to contain his anger, but the reason he didn’t strike was because of Hwang Ji Hwa, not because of Moyong Bi.

 

Lee Jeong spoke in a cold voice.

 

“Branch Leader Hwang, is more conversation necessary?”

 

While asking Hwang Ji Hwa, both his eyes were fixed on Moyong Bi.

 

“Just capture and beat them up. These guys, it seems we can’t just leave them be.”

 

His tone became much calmer.

 

Hwang Ji Hwa knew. That Lee Jeong’s anger had reached its peak.

 

Honestly, she wanted to do the same if it were up to her heart.

 

“Stand down.”

 

Lee Jeong, who had been glaring at Moyong Bi with murderous eyes, stepped back three paces.

 

He said many things through silence. He was extremely angry but was backing down. However, next time he would absolutely not back down even if it was an order from the sect leader’s daughter.

 

Lee Jeong, who had informed through silence that he had used his last chance, Hwang Ji Hwa understood his meaning.

 

“That’s not a statement one can smile and let pass.”

 

“That’s because I don’t smile often.”

 

“I won’t listen to any more of your nonsense. Guide us to the Family Head Deputy. Unless you want to see blood.”

 

“If you don’t want to see blood, you should obediently kneel first.”

 

“What did you say?!”

 

“Or you can just attack if you want.”

 

Moyong Bi tilted his head.

 

“You guys, didn’t you come here to find out about everything from the ledger stolen from Black Tiger Gang to my martial arts?”

 

“…!”

 

“You’re better than Younger Brother, but since you’re sisters, you’re birds of a feather. Is this something you can find out through conversation? Didn’t you really know that just drawing your sword first would be the fastest way?”

 

“You right now….”

 

“Or what? Did you want to act all high and mighty and threaten me? Well, you need power to make threats. Or maybe you wanted to fight with your tongue instead of a sword? But with that intelligence of yours, have you ever won a verbal argument?”

 

“Hey!”

 

“No power, nothing in your head, you thought you could just push your way in relying on your family name and achieve something, but even that doesn’t work.”

 

Moyong Bi shook his head as if he found it pathetic.

 

Moyong Suhyang, who had been listening to Moyong Bi’s words from afar, unconsciously gaped in astonishment.

What? That idiot, was he always this good with words?

 

Whoosh!

Intense killing intent burst forth from Lee Jeong’s body.

 

The killing intent was so strong that all the Fire Sword Unit Members flinched and swallowed hard. Moyong Su Hyang also instinctively shrank back and retreated a few steps.

 

The killing intent was so intense that all the members of the Fire Sword Division flinched and swallowed hard. Mo Yongsu-hyang also instinctively shrank back and retreated a few steps.

“…”

 

Hwang Ji Hwa had no intention of doing so either.

 

“No killing. Finish it with just crippling him.”

 

Hwang Ji-hwa had no intention of doing so either.

“Would one arm be enough?”

 

A cruel smile appeared on Lee Jung’s face.

Hwang Ji Hwa, once she made up her mind, was more vicious than expected.

 

“Hehe, good.”

 

“Go ahead and lose one more leg. That’s what it’ll take for you to realize how terrible your judgment was.”

“That tongue that dared insult me and the Main Sect, let’s see if you can still babble after losing an arm and a leg.”

 

“Hehe, good.”

“No!”

 

At that moment.

 

“Let’s see if that insolent tongue that dared to insult me and the text can still wag after I cut off your limbs one by one.”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

 

“No!”

Lee Jeong, his mouth agape, looked down at his abdomen.

 

Surprisingly, below his solar plexus, a foot was embedded.

 

Pffft!

“Guhhhh!”

 

Hwang Ji Hwa’s eyes widened.

 

“Elder?!”

 

Surprisingly, below the solar plexus, a foot was embedded.

“Be careful!”

 

“Cough!”

“Argh!”

 

There was no chance to do anything.

 

Hwang Jihwa’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Elder?!”

At that moment, Young stepped forward.

“Be careful!”

Flash! Thwack!

“Gaaaah!”

There was no chance to even try anything.

Lee Jeong’s sword that had fallen to the ground flew like lightning and pierced through Yeong’s thigh.

 

Yeong’s complexion turned pale.

 

‘Gasp!’

 

There was no time to think about when the sword had flown over and embedded itself.

 

The sword lodged in his thigh had cut through muscle and bone, even severing the inner artery.

 

‘I’m, I’m going to die!’

 

He could feel the severed artery moving out of place and rising toward his upper body. Terrified, Yeong collapsed on the spot and circulated his internal energy, trying to pull the severed artery back down.

 

But it wasn’t working well.

 

Unless one was a supreme master, it was impossible to delicately control individual blood vessels with internal energy. While he could somehow hold the artery in place since it was large, forcibly reconnecting severed blood vessels was impossible for Yeong.

 

“Ye, Yeong?!”

 

“Aaaahhhhh!”

 

The fear of death surged up in an instant.

 

This wasn’t a wound that could be healed by suturing. Blood pumped vigorously by his heart was streaming out below the severed artery.

 

He could slow the blood flow, but that wouldn’t allow him to escape death.

 

Only then did Yeong become aware of Hwang Ji Hwa’s presence.

 

“Young Miss! Run away… Gasp!”

 

Hwang Ji Hwa, who had been too shocked to think straight, suddenly sensed a presence and turned around, taking a stance.

 

‘Eek!’

 

Moyong Bi was right in front of her.

 

She instinctively threw a punch. She didn’t even think to draw the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

 

Thwack!

 

Stars sparkled.

 

The night sky was particularly beautiful. Her ears felt muffled and her mind became hazy.

 

Thud!

 

Hwang Ji Hwa, struck on the jaw by a palm strike, collapsed backward.

 

Moyong Bi immediately pressed Hwang Ji Hwa’s paralysis points.

 

Her trembling body suddenly stopped with a jolt.

 

“Kraaaahhh! Uweeeeek!”

 

As his body gradually stiffened, Yeong couldn’t even let out a groan, while Lee Jeong clutched his stomach and screamed while vomiting blood.

 

‘Phew.’

 

Moyong Bi’s complexion was also pale.

 

‘They were bigger fools than I thought, so it was easier.’

 

If he tried to take them down one by one, it would only waste stamina unnecessarily.

 

To neutralize enemies, one had to finish them in one blow. That was the method of the Martial Alliance Leader who had spent twenty years on battlefields.

 

“Good grief, this is ridiculous.”

 

Moyong Bi shook his head back and forth.

 

“Even if I looked like an easy target, isn’t this too many openings?”

 

He could have won somehow even fighting normally.

 

But he didn’t want to waste the internal energy he had painstakingly gathered on mere opponents like these. That’s why he had provoked them and tried to induce as many openings as possible.

 

But these guys had so many openings that he wondered if the provocation had even been necessary.

 

“Cough!”

 

The recoil from his explosive movements was now returning to his body.

 

Moyong Bi covered his mouth with his hand and burst into continuous coughing.

 

“Y-Young Master!”

 

“Are you alright?”

 

The startled squad members approached, but Moyong Bi couldn’t easily open his mouth.

 

‘Damn it!’

 

It was worse than at the Black Tiger Gang.

 

At least his abundant internal energy allowed him to suppress much of the recoil. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to move a single finger for a full hour.

 

Moyong Bi slowly straightened his body while circulating his Primordial True Energy with his head lowered.

 

“I’m fine.”

 

He casually brushed off his hands, and the blood droplets that had seeped out with his coughing stained the ground.

 

Moyong Su Hyang was truly shocked.

 

‘This is impossible.’

 

It was her first time seeing Moyong Bi’s true abilities.

 

She couldn’t even follow Moyong Bi’s movements. There was a flash and Lee Jeong collapsed, a gleam of light and a sword was embedded in the escort warrior’s leg.

 

The only thing she properly saw was the uppercut that struck Hwang Ji Hwa’s chin.

 

‘H-how?’

 

Even though it was sudden, Hwang Ji Hwa’s punch had been really fast.

 

Yet he dodged that punch and brought down his opponent with a single strike. Before martial studies, his very movements were on a different level.

 

Could this really be the skill of that troublemaker elder brother?

 

‘Was what Elder Sister said true?’

 

Elder Sister had said that Elder Brother was strong.

 

That everything that had happened had its reasons, and she would learn the truth soon enough.

 

She hadn’t wanted to know about such circumstances. What mattered was Elder Sister’s health and the family clan.

 

But now that she had actually seen Elder Brother’s martial arts, her jaw dropped and even her thoughts seemed to stop.

 

While everyone was in shock like this.

 

Moyong Bi pulled the sword from Yeong’s thigh.

 

Swoosh.

 

Yeong’s body flinched.

 

He wasn’t dead yet, but he was no different from a corpse.

 

Moyong Bi didn’t even give him a glance. Whatever circumstances he might have had, he was simply an enemy.

 

“Grrrr.”

 

Lee Jeong, who was lying face down clutching his stomach and trembling, raised his head.

 

Bloodshot eyes. His crimson face looked like it would burst at any moment.

 

“You, you bastard!”

 

Crack!

 

Lee Jeong’s body tilted to the side.

 

With a single kick, his nose bridge was broken and three front teeth went flying.

 

“Cough! Gasp! Gasp!”

 

“One arm, one leg, was it?”

 

Moyong Bi swung his sword with force.

 

Thunk! Crack!

 

The sword filled with internal energy pierced through Lee Jeong’s calf and embedded into the ground.

 

Lee Jeong let out a soundless scream. The shock to his abdomen, along with his nose and teeth, was pain he had never experienced before.

 

Killing intent finally appeared in Moyong Bi’s eyes as he drew the sword sheath from Lee Jeong’s waist.

 

Whoooooosh!

 

The cold air instantly became hot.

 

It was different in nature from the violent killing intent that Lee Jeong had been emitting.

 

An aura that could only be described as terrifying – Moyong Su Hyang and the squad members found themselves backing away to the wall without realizing it.

 

“I never intended to let you go from the start, but you crossed the line far too much.”

 

Moyong Bi looked at Guo Lao.

 

Unlike Moyong Su Hyang and the squad members, Guo Lao hadn’t moved a single step from his position. He seemed accustomed to this kind of killing intent.

 

However, he couldn’t help being surprised, as his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Moyong Bi.

 

“Guo Lao.”

 

“Ah, yes! Young Master!”

 

“Where did this bastard hit you?”

 

“Me, you mean?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I’m… fine, Young Master.”

 

Moyong Bi, who had been staring intently at Guo Lao, spoke while deliberately suppressing his killing intent.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

“What absurd words are those?”

 

“When Guo Lao first collapsed, I noticed something was wrong. But I didn’t come to help.”

 

Everyone was shocked once again by those words.

 

“I believe Guo Lao had his circumstances. But still, I wanted to see. Because I know that human hearts can change from day to day.”

 

“…!”

 

“Please forgive me for testing Guo Lao in such a petty way.”

 

Guo Lao understood exactly what Moyong Bi’s intention was in saying those words.

 

Guo Lao, who had been watching him with a complicated expression, bowed his head.

 

“I can only be grateful that you trusted this worthless old man. If anyone should apologize, it should be me.”

 

“No. Under no circumstances should I have tested family. Especially real family who dedicated their life for the Main Family House.”

 

“…!!”

 

“I crossed a forbidden line under the pretext of doing it for the family clan. I will live with an apologetic heart for the rest of my life for today’s events.”

 

“Young Master.”

 

Tears finally welled up in Guo Lao’s eyes.

 

Moyong Bi turned his gaze back down to Lee Jeong.

 

Lee Jeong’s face was filled with fear.

 

Hissssssss!

 

Semi-transparent heat waves rose from Moyong Bi’s body.

 

It was real heat haze, not a hallucination. That haze stained with darkness looked like black smoke from a fire.

 

“You dare… you dared to lay a hand on my family.”

 

The Brain Gate Heart Technique ignited flames to its master’s madness.

 

“How dare you!”

 

For the first time since his return, Moyong Bi completely exploded and mercilessly swung his sword sheath.
