Chapter 85
Woon-hwi nodded his head.
“…It doesn’t seem like you’re trying to use me as a shield called Snow Palace, and you don’t seem like the type to play games either… But if that promise isn’t kept, I don’t know what I might do.”
“You don’t know what you might do… This guy really was a stupid bastard.”
“…What? This bastard has been saying shit…”
“It is said that a gentleman does not quarrel even with fools when practicing the Way.”
At Woon-hwi’s cold voice that followed, Sim Mun-ryong shut his mouth.
“But you right now are not only someone who doesn’t know the Way, but also a stupid fool who can’t even grasp the situation.”
“You right now…”
“Someone who claims to seek the Way of Huashan doesn’t even know his own position? Trying to pressure me with just the Body Establishment Boundary realm.”
Woon-hwi’s eyes sharpened.
“If I truly wanted to kill you, you would die right here, right now. That is reality.”
Sim Mun-ryong’s complexion changed. He instinctively knew that Woon-hwi’s words weren’t bluffing.
This really didn’t make sense, but his instincts as a martial artist were screaming exactly that.
From this illegitimate son of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown before his eyes, he could see overwhelming confidence that he surpassed Body Establishment Boundary martial artists in terms of ‘force’.
This wouldn’t be a delusional thought.
This really could only be explained by instinct.
“A gentleman is said to be one who knows himself and knows his opponent. In that regard, you are still nothing but a petty person. If your master was the sect leader of Huashan, he would have been ashamed of you as you are now.”
“…”
“Of course, if someone like you rebuilt Huashan, he would be ashamed of that too. Someone who doesn’t know respect, someone who doesn’t know courtesy, and on top of that, someone who doesn’t even know the gentleman’s way that was the reason Huashan took up the sword – how dare you raise your voice in front of anyone.”
He flinched.
Should this be called presence?
This bastard…
What the hell is he?
“Sim Mun-ryong.”
“Speak… up.”
“Do you know what I’m thinking right now?”
“…How would I know that.”
“I’m regretting my choice, even if just slightly.”
“…”
“If I become more disappointed in you, and if I come to think that you’re no longer needed, I’ll tell you for certain. You will tremble just from hearing my name.”
Woon-hwi silently took a step forward.
This was Woon-hwi whose body had grown slightly larger after going through Bone Transformation.
Previously he was 6 feet tall, but now he was 6 feet and 2 inches.
Though Sim Mun-ryong, who was 6 feet 3 inches tall, was still slightly taller, strangely in this place right now, Sim Mun-ryong seemed more like a child.
“I’m warning you for the first and last time.”
“…Me? You’re warning me?”
“Yes, I am warning you.”
“…”
“Since I brought you because I needed you, I’ll overlook your rudeness just this once. However.”
Woon-hwi reached out and grabbed Sim Mun-ryong by the collar. Sim Mun-ryong blinked at this absurd situation.
“Not being able to distinguish who holds the leash and who is giving you an opportunity is hard to overlook even with open eyes. If you have a brain, use it to think. I don’t know when your desire to rebuild Huashan started being swayed by your petty emotions, but if you disappoint me any further, I will erase the very concept of Huashan from this world with my own hands. Do you understand?”
“…Wow… this bastard, this is… He’s even worse than me.”
He said while releasing the collar.
“From now on, I will count to one hundred. Within that time, catch the three Snow Mountain Black Bears that made this place like this and bring them before me.”
Sim Mun-ryong found this situation absurd.
He didn’t know until seeing him directly, but this is that Seol Woon-hwi?
He was one of the least notable bloodlines in Snow Mountain, but he didn’t expect him to be to this extent.
He still couldn’t understand it. Setting aside other things, how could he deflect the aura emitted by a Body Establishment Boundary martial artist like that?
And how could he move forward from there?
If Sim Mun-ryong had been Seol Woon-hwi, he might have wet himself on the spot.
His qi was definitely concentrated on Seol Woon-hwi.
From the unconcentrated qi, just about a grain’s worth, Won Yang, a martial artist of Five Dragon Peak Castle, had collapsed to the ground, and the coachman had already fainted.
He was an incomprehensible existence. This human before his eyes.
Anyway.
“How are you certain there are three bears?”
“The footprint sizes are different.”
“…”
“If you’ve reached the Body Establishment Boundary, you should have that level of discernment. Refrain from asking when you already know.”
“…This guy is really a monster.”
“I don’t care what you call me, but twenty has already passed.”
Sim Mun-ryong chuckled.
Then he pointed at Woon-hwi with his index finger.
“You, what you said earlier about Huashan’s spirit – if it wasn’t for that, I would have returned to the Central Plains today.”
“Twenty-nine.”
“I have no intention of serving anyone, and it’ll probably be the same later too. But those words. That… hurt a person.”
“Thirty-five.”
“I like it. Now I think I understand why that monster who reached Limitless Divine Manifestation is desperately trying to take you as a disciple. Not bad. Really.”
“Forty-four.”
Sim Mun-ryong raised his hand.
“Ah, bastard. Your personality is twisted as hell. That’s enough. You don’t need to go that far.”
The qi that Sim Mun-ryong had spread earlier thoroughly swept through the surrounding area.
That was sufficient.
Why did Woon-hwi recommend Sim Mun-ryong?
Why him, who was currently ‘merely’ at the Body Establishment Boundary?
The reason would be revealed from now on.
Sim Mun-ryong closed his eyes.
Then the two swords stuck at his waist were drawn out and began flying toward the snow-covered mountain across the way.
Soon after.
With an ear-splitting roar, the sound of the ground collapsing echoed.
When Sim Mun-ryong opened his eyes and extended his hand, two bears with their heads pierced were flying over, skewered on the swords.
Sim Mun-ryong.
His specialty was extreme Swift Sword and Sword Control Technique that had reached a certain level.
Currently at Body Establishment Boundary, but only half a step remained until Divine Transformation Realm.
His talent was more than enough to reach the Five Realms of Martial God.
In his previous life, Woon-hwi had personally cut off Sim Mun-ryong’s head, and at that time his realm was Dao Transformation Authority Truth.
Woon-hwi said.
“I said three bears.”
Sim Mun-ryong chuckled and said.
“I don’t kill cubs.”
Judging by the footprints, there were indeed three bears.
One of them was a cub that had been born at most about a year ago.
Sim Mun-ryong had no intention of killing that cub.
What wrong had the young one done?
“I told you. I don’t kill cubs. And according to your words about the gentleman’s way, wouldn’t it be right to spare the cub?”
Woon-hwi gazed at such Sim Mun-ryong quietly.
It was a difference in values.
The once brilliant Huashan was also a gathering of gentlemen, and from their perspective, the cub bear was innocent.
However.
As mentioned before, Woon-hwi neither follows nor reveres the teachings of Mount Hua.
Mount Hua has Mount Hua’s path, and Woon-hwi has Woon-hwi’s path.
“Won Yang.”
“…Yes.”
“Go and kill the bear cub.”
Unlike someone else, Won Yang showed no hesitation.
“I obey.”
Won Yang, who was about to leap forward after saying that, stopped in place for a moment. She had no choice.
“Is that your way?”
It was Sim Mun-ryong.
“Yeah, I know it’s rude and all that. I’ve lived like this, spoken like this, and I know there’s no respect in it, but wrong is wrong.”
He was serious. Sim Mun-ryong was.
“You were going on about the way of a gentleman and all that, but now you want to kill an innocent cub? What wrong did it commit?”
“Does it matter what wrong it committed?”
“…What?”
“Where do you think this place is?”
“…Snow Mountain.”
“Right, this is Snow Mountain. In Snow Mountain’s territory, Snow Mountain’s residents were murdered.”
“They were murdered, yes. But why is a sharp kid like you acting like this? Don’t you know what they did?”
“Who knows.”
“Who knows? Hey. You think I don’t know about the Black Heaven Group? Those are Forbidden Pills. What the blood people consume.”
Unexpectedly, Sim Mun-ryong’s experience was quite extensive.
“The fact that they gathered such a large quantity means those bastards were likely traitors who betrayed Snow Mountain, and their revenge…”
“What they did hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
“…Hey. Try covering the sky with your palm.”
“Do I need to cover it? As I said before, what they did isn’t certain. It could be the misconduct of those people there, or Yang Family Head might have changed his mind. What’s important is that this is Snow Mountain’s territory, and Snow Mountain’s residents died in Snow Mountain’s territory.”
“…”
“There’s no room for debate on this point. Whatever crimes they committed, even if they secretly killed hundreds or thousands of people, everything that happens in Snow Mountain’s territory is Snow Palace’s responsibility.”
As serious as Sim Mun-ryong was, Woon-hwi was equally serious.
“That’s what hierarchy and responsibility mean. Questioning their crimes should come after that. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“…You’re different.”
I understood that he got it.
“Won Yang.”
“Yes.”
“Go quickly and kill it.”
“I obey.”
Won Yang kicked off from her position.
“And Sim Mun-ryong.”
“…What.”
“Can’t that way of speaking be corrected at all?”
“Probably not.”
Just as Woon-hwi’s eyes were about to turn coldly serious.
“Instead, since I acknowledge that you’re somewhat different from other bastards, I can show you some respect…”
Woon-hwi watched Sim Mun-ryong make a concession for a moment, then said casually.
“Load the corpses of both bears behind the carriage.”
“…Me?”
“Then should I do it?”
“…”
“When practicing Sword Control Technique, moving objects of that weight would be quite helpful. Let me correct that. Don’t load them on the carriage, carry them and follow.”
“…All the way to Yang-ryeong or whatever that place is?”
He nodded.
Wow, this is really.
Is he crazy?
“…Are you serious?”
Woon-hwi turned around and bent down, placing his hand on the coachman’s shoulder.
Then the unconscious coachman startled awake and got up from his position.
“Prepare yourself. We’re departing immediately.”
The coachman said in shock at Woon-hwi’s words.
“Ah… Yes… Master Hyeon Seol-rin. I’ll prepare right away.”
Woon-hwi, who was silently about to enter the carriage interior, turned his head. Sim Mun-ryong, whose eyes met his, let out a deep sigh, then waved his hand toward the corpses.
Whoooosh.
Tremendous flames shot up and burned all their corpses to ashes, and soon the corpses of the two dead bears floated up into the air.
“…I’m not following your orders, I’m just doing this because it seems like it’ll help with training.”
Woon-hwi let out a small laugh and entered the carriage interior, and soon Won Yang arrived. Her sword was stained with blood.
As Won Yang was about to enter the carriage, Sim Mun-ryong asked her.
“Hey.”
“…Yes.”
“You were going to throw your sword at me earlier, weren’t you?”
“You know well.”
“Would it have reached me?”
“It doesn’t matter. It would have shut that mouth of yours.”
“…”
“That would have been enough.”
“What if you died by my hand?”
“Then I would have died.”
Won Yang snapped back like that and entered the carriage interior, while Sim Mun-ryong, wearing an incredulous expression, muttered quietly.
“…None of them are normal.”
