69.

Won Baeguk, pointing his crescent blade at them, still spoke in an angry voice.

“What were you thinking coming here?”

Seol Mujin patted Hwangbo Cheonak’s back.

“I heard a very interesting story from this friend.”

Hwangbo Cheonak, who was about to shout something, had to sit back down again under Seol Mujin’s touch.

“An interesting story?”

“I heard Bang-ju caught the dragon’s tail?”

Won Baeguk frowned.

“Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.”

“…I heard you joined hands with a prince. So I was wondering if I could add my spoon to the mix.”

Seol Mujin deliberately blurred the word before ‘prince’ between his teeth.

Depending on how you heard it, it could be the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince.

“You want to play both sides?”

“Both sides?”

“Aren’t you already the Third Prince’s man?”

Seol Mujin made a bewildered expression.

“I don’t know who said that, but it’s completely untrue.”

“Then how did the Third Prince release the Jenam Magistrate?”

“That wasn’t the Third Prince – I asked someone else for help, but somehow it got entangled with the Third Prince. How could a mere porter like me even meet royalty?”

“I even heard threats telling the Hwangbo Family not to touch you?”

“That’s because of my connection with the Hwangbo Family, not because of the Third Prince.”

“You’re good at wriggling out of things, but do you think I’ll believe you?”

“Even after I’ve shown such sincerity?”

“Sincerity?”

Seol Mujin grabbed Hwangbo Cheonak by the scruff of his neck and threw him.

“Aaaah―!”

Hwangbo Cheonak flew two zhang and rolled on the ground before hitting the stairs and stopping.

Hwangbo Cheonak jumped up and shouted.

“What the hell are you doing!”

Seol Mujin grinned and said to Won Baeguk.

“My fresh sincerity.”

Won Baeguk smiled coldly.

“You’re offering Hwangbo Cheonak, who killed two of my subordinates, as tribute?”

“I hope it pleases you.”

Hwangbo Cheonak pointed accusingly at Seol Mujin.

“You… you’re going to hand me over to the Five Dragon Sect? You’re betraying me?”

“What betrayal.”

Just then, a long scream was heard from somewhere.

If it had ended with just one, you might think ‘Did I mishear?’ but the screams continued one after another.

As the gang members surrounding the training ground began murmuring, Won Baeguk ordered the leaders standing behind him.

“Go find out what’s happening.”

Two leaders flew toward where the screams were coming from.

Seol Mujin gestured to Hwangbo Cheonak.

“I’ve stalled enough time, so come here.”

Hwangbo Cheonak asked with a very wary expression.

“You didn’t betray me?”

“Don’t you hear those sounds? The hostages have been freed, so now all that’s left is fighting.”

“This quickly?”

“Right. If it had been a bit later, I could have seen you wet your pants.”

“If there was such a plan, you should have told me in advance!”

Hwangbo Cheonak hurriedly returned to Seol Mujin’s side.

Won Baeguk spoke with a completely distorted face.

“How dare you come to the Five Dragon Sect and cause trouble. Since you’ve entered the tiger’s den, not a single one of you will leave alive.”

Seol Mujin gripped his sword.

“We’ll soon see who ends up running away. But…”

Seol Mujin pointed at Won Baeguk with his sword tip.

“You absolutely can’t escape.”

“What did you say?”

“Because I won’t let anyone who touched Yeonji-ru live.”

“Insolent bastard! Capture that guy right now! I’ll kill him very slowly!”

Four of the leaders standing behind Won Baeguk came down the stairs.

The fact that only four leaders stepped forward showed how lightly Won Baeguk regarded Seol Mujin.

Hwangbo Cheonak hastily drew his sword.

Two leaders approached Hwangbo Cheonak.

“Why are two of them coming after me?”

Seol Mujin chuckled.

“You killed two of them.”

“Th-that was only possible because it was a surprise attack!”

“Just hold out a little.”

“How little?”

Seol Mujin brought his thumb and index finger close together.

“Very little.”

Seol Mujin increased the distance between himself and Hwangbo Cheonak.

Then two leaders followed Seol Mujin.

The screams that had been heard from afar were now close at hand.

With the triplets and Hwangbo Hyeonguk’s group there, he didn’t need to worry about the rabble.

“Haat―!”

The leader with a mole under his nose charged at Seol Mujin.

A large cleaver that looked like something a bandit would use fell toward Seol Mujin’s head.

Almost simultaneously, another leader’s sword stabbed toward his chest.

It was an attack that came almost simultaneously, as if they had practiced combination techniques.

Seol Mujin stepped back to avoid the attack to his head and deflected the chest attack with his sword.

The sword-wielding leader’s body swayed and bent, unable to overcome Seol Mujin’s strength.

Seol Mujin first swung his sword toward Spotted Face leader’s neck.

Spotted Face leader, startled by the faster-than-expected sword, blocked with his weapon.

But Seol Mujin’s sword didn’t clash with Spotted Face leader’s blade.

The sword that skillfully evaded precisely cut the neck he had aimed for.

“Kkeok!”

Before Spotted Face leader, spewing blood from his neck as he collapsed, even hit the ground, Seol Mujin launched himself toward his second prey.

Clang!

With a sharp sound, the leader’s sword that clashed with Seol Mujin’s sword broke.

Slice!

The second leader’s neck was cleanly severed.

The head separated from the body rolled all the way to where Hwangbo Cheonak was fighting.

The head caught on the feet of the retreating Hwangbo Cheonak and rolled to the gang members surrounding the training ground.

The gang members, startled by the head that rolled to their feet, hurriedly backed away.

Unlike his crying sounds, Hwangbo Cheonak was fighting quite admirably against the two leaders.

It didn’t look like he would lose easily if left alone.

Since this seemed like a good opportunity to gain real combat experience, instead of helping, Seol Mujin looked at Won Baeguk.

Won Baeguk’s face was full of disbelief.

“How could a mere porter…!”

He was so tired of hearing that sound.

Seol Mujin said.

“I’m curious how strong your crescent blade is.”

Wang Doseok, who was standing next to Won Baeguk, said.

“Why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken? Let’s leave it to the subordinates.”

They needed to learn more about Seol Mujin’s martial arts level.

Though he had a quick temper and was violent, Won Baeguk was infinitely cautious when it came to his own life.

When Won Baeguk nodded, Wang Doseok gestured to the remaining four party leaders.

The four party leaders launched themselves and surrounded Seol Mujin in a circle.

Through the gap, Hwangbo Cheonak’s voice intruded.

“Aren’t you going to help me? Eek!”

Though he was whining, he was fighting quite well.

Seol Mujin sent him encouragement.

“You can win!”

“Worry about yourself!”

The party leader who spat those words thrust his spear at Seol Mujin’s chest.

A whip was also swung from behind.

There was even a party leader using an axe, so Seol Mujin had to face four different weapons simultaneously.

Thanks to the sparring with the Triplets while traveling to and from Beijing, this level of attack didn’t even feel threatening.

Seol Mujin deflected all attacks by spinning once in place, then shot forward.

An arrow leaving a bowstring was like a snail compared to Seol Mujin’s movement.

“Huk!”

The whip-wielding party leader who became Seol Mujin’s target stepped back in surprise, but was hopelessly slow.

His chest was split open in a single move.

After simultaneously deflecting the axe and knife, Seol Mujin’s next target was the spear-wielding party leader.

He stepped back and thrust his spear, taking advantage of the long weapon, but couldn’t even touch Seol Mujin’s clothes.

In the end, the spear-wielding party leader who allowed the distance died with his throat pierced.

The time it took for the remaining two party leaders to die wasn’t very long either.

Watching the party leaders fall like autumn leaves in the wind, Won Baeguk even thought, ‘Am I dreaming right now?’

Even in a world where many incomprehensible things happen, for six party leaders to die to a mere porter!

When the last party leader Seol Mujin cut down fell, a scream erupted from where Hwangbo Cheonak was fighting.

Startled, Seol Mujin turned his head and could see a party leader spurting blood from his neck.

Hwangbo Cheonak had broken through the coordinated attack and splendidly killed one party leader.

Though he got a wound on his shoulder as the price, it was an excellent exchange.

“You bastard!”

The party leader’s attack became fierce, enraged by his comrade’s death.

Watching Hwangbo Cheonak hesitantly retreating, Seol Mujin thought, ‘He lacks experience.’

There are few enemies easier to deal with than an excited one, but Hwangbo Cheonak, with his shallow experience, was just retreating, overwhelmed by the momentum.

Though he was being pushed back for now, Seol Mujin didn’t doubt that the result would end in Hwangbo Cheonak’s victory.

So Seol Mujin turned his gaze to Won Baeguk.

“How about you come instead of sacrificing innocent subordinates?”

When Won Baeguk remained silent, Seol Mujin spoke again.

“Are you going to hide behind using your subordinates as shields again this time?”

Wang Doseok said to Won Baeguk.

“You mustn’t fall for such provocation. The subordinates are there to protect you, Bang-ju.”

Wang Doseok, who said that, shouted to the Bang Do gathered around the training ground.

“Kill those bastards right now!”

Thud!

The sound of the crescent blade striking the ground swallowed Wang Doseok’s command.

Won Baeguk, with a completely hardened expression, slowly came down the stairs.

“Today I’ll show you that there’s a sky above the sky.”

Wang Doseok, who had followed, tried to stop Won Baeguk.

“Bang-ju! There’s no need for you to step forward directly!”

Seol Mujin was unbelievably strong.

Killing six party leaders was something even Wang Doseok wouldn’t dare attempt.

Of course, if Won Baeguk fought, he would naturally bet on Won Baeguk.

But there was no need to take such a risk.

Even if half of Oryongbang’s Bang Do disappeared, they could rebuild, but if Won Baeguk lost, that would be the end of Oryongbang.

So even if it meant sacrifices, it was right to pour in the Bang Do (however many it took) to kill Seol Mujin.

But Won Baeguk couldn’t endure Seol Mujin’s provocation.

“Shut up! I’ll personally cut down anyone who interferes in my fight!”

When Won Baeguk said that much, he couldn’t stop him anymore.

Seol Mujin and Won Baeguk stood ten zhang apart.

Over there, Hwangbo Cheonak and one party leader were still fighting, but their fight was no longer the object of attention.

Whoever won wouldn’t affect the overall situation, but it would still be better if the party leader won, right?

But Wang Doseok’s wish was dashed again this time.

“Kuk!”

The one wounded in the side and hesitantly retreating was the party leader, and the one who couldn’t endure two more moves after that was also the party leader.

Would it be an absurd thought if the sight of the party leader falling with his chest pierced by a sword looked like Oryongbang’s future?

‘There’s no way Bang-ju will lose.’

Wang Doseok thought that and retreated to the front of the stairs.

Won Baeguk’s crescent blade pointed at Seol Mujin.

“Come, youngster.”

Won Baeguk lightly lifted the crescent blade weighing over 150 geun with one hand.

At the sight that was truly like the manifestation of Guan Yu, even the last trace of doubt remaining in Wang Doseok’s heart disappeared.

“Thank you for yielding the first move.”

Seol Mujin charged toward Won Baeguk.

It was just one step, but he flew low enough to stay no more than one ja off the ground.

Whoosh—!

The crescent blade was swung to match Seol Mujin’s speed.

The power of the crescent blade, made entirely of metal including the handle, was enough to make one’s body sway and bend even without physical contact.

Clang!

Seol Mujin blocked the crescent blade with his sword.

Both Won Baeguk who was fighting and Wang Doseok who was watching cheered.

To block a heavy weapon like the crescent blade with a sword!

As expected, they thought he was an inexperienced youngster.

They naturally thought the crescent blade would send Seol Mujin flying, but the crescent blade passed over Seol Mujin’s head.

Seol Mujin had angled his sword diagonally to deflect most of the force upward.

Thanks to that, space was created for Seol Mujin to penetrate inside the long crescent blade.

Startled, Won Baeguk hastily retreated and raised the crescent blade handle to aim at Seol Mujin’s groin.

It was an improvisation born from long experience and an attack Seol Mujin couldn’t have anticipated.

But Seol Mujin, as if he knew Won Baeguk would do that, kicked off the crescent blade handle and leaped up.
