| Chapter 91

‘There’s no choice. I’ll have to accept some damage.’

As soon as he finished thinking, Yoo Eun-hyun rushed toward Chang Hae with his sickle, as if he could wait no longer. Chang Hae also gripped his sword properly, seemingly having no intention of merely defending against his attacks.

Whoosh.

Though they were evenly matched, Chang Hae was the first to swing his sword. He tried to strike down the sickle and press forward, but couldn’t close the distance as Yoo Eun-hyun immediately pulled back his sickle and swung it again. Chang Hae leaned back to dodge all attacks and stepped back, saying:

“To think the same trick would work twice. What a fool.”

Chang Hae smiled mockingly and pulled his sword back once, then lightly launched his body forward, thrusting toward Yoo Eun-hyun’s chest.

Yoo Eun-hyun raised his sickle to block the attack.

However, at that moment, Chang Hae’s fingers moved subtly, forming hand seals. Sharp finger energy like a sword shot toward Yoo Eun-hyun’s hand gripping the sickle.

“Ugh!”

Along with the sound of the sickle falling to the ground, a short groan burst from Yoo Eun-hyun’s mouth. As blood dripped from the palm that had been holding the sickle, a smile spread across Chang Hae’s lips.

“It’s over.”

The technique of unleashing sword and finger energy simultaneously, Yuan He Finger Sword. Chang Hae declared victory as he looked down at Yoo Eun-hyun, who had been helplessly struck by that blow. However, Yoo Eun-hyun glanced at the sickle that had fallen far away and muttered:

“I was prepared for this, but… it hurts more than I expected.”

“What?”

Chang Hae frowned and asked back at the strangely deflated tone. But instead of answering, Yoo Eun-hyun grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground with his bleeding hand.

As a farmer, soil was always a familiar presence in his hands.

Moreover, this wasn’t just any soil, but earth from a field he had personally tended until recently. The texture touching his hand felt strangely comforting.

“Are you planning to stop the bleeding with dirt?”

Chang Hae, who had been watching to see what Yoo Eun-hyun was trying to do, spoke mockingly. However, Yoo Eun-hyun made no reply and simply threw the dirt in his hand toward Chang Hae.

“Such a petty trick!”

Throwing dirt was indeed a simple yet reliable method that had been passed down for ages. However, that only worked in fights between ordinary people. Chang Hae paid no attention to mere dirt and instead increased his speed, rushing toward Yoo Eun-hyun.

“Urgh?!”

At that moment, reddish dirt entered Chang Hae’s eyes. The color was too deep to be merely reddened by blood. Chang Hae stopped in place to brush off the dirt. And just as he was about to shake off that red pile of dirt, a completely unexpected change occurred.

Crack!

With a sound like lightning striking, red energy like lightning burst forth from the red pile of dirt all at once. Chang Hae’s body, completely unprepared, was battered by it.

“Aaaaah!”

His entire body became paralyzed and terrible pain rushed over him. The sword fell from Chang Hae’s hand, and he collapsed to his knees. He had no strength to move even a finger, and his blood vessels seemed completely frozen, not moving at all.

Then, the figure of Yoo Eun-hyun rushing toward him was reflected in Chang Hae’s stunned eyes.

‘Damn… Am I going to die helplessly like this!’

Only then did Chang Hae realize he had completely misjudged the situation. With him in such a defenseless state, the fight was as good as over.

‘This bastard… He was an incredible master. Each of his martial arts techniques is beyond common sense. How could…’

Being beyond common sense didn’t simply mean strange. It also meant his level was so high it exceeded one’s understanding. For such a person to take the life of someone who couldn’t resist was as easy as eating cold porridge.

Chang Hae closed his eyes, waiting for the approaching death. However, at that moment.

“Well then, see you next time.”

“?!”

Yoo Eun-hyun simply passed by his side. An incredulous sound flowed from Chang Hae’s mouth. However, Yoo Eun-hyun continued running as if he didn’t care at all.

The technique Yoo Eun-hyun had just displayed, Blood Wave Calamity – Thunder Chaos, was his own modification of Blood Wave Calamity from the Stagnant Blood Scattering Art.

After comprehending the flow of natural energy, Yoo Eun-hyun became able to use some techniques of the Stagnant Blood Scattering Art without side effects, and the current method was one of them. The original form was a technique that used blood drops as a core, spreading thin and wide blood waves from them to deceive the vision before attacking. However, Yoo Eun-hyun made another change to it, improving it to deliver direct impact.

Though this was the first time using it in actual combat, there had been a considerable skill difference between Chang Hae and Yoo Eun-hyun from the start.

“Hey! How can you just let him escape like that!”

Watching Yoo Eun-hyun flee, Sa Yeo-un shouted sharply. However, Yoo Eun-hyun didn’t look back and launched his body toward the mountain.

“We must… pursue…”

As the paralysis in his body gradually wore off, Chang Hae gritted his teeth and stood up. Byeon Ak ran over to support him as he tried to force his feet to move for pursuit.

“Chang Hae, are you alright?”

“Form a pursuit team. Immediately!”

“Yes, understood.”

Chang Hae growled lowly while glaring at the mountain where Yoo Eun-hyun had disappeared. Byeon Ak had also clearly seen the fight that had just occurred. The scene of Chang Hae, who had seemed like a monster, being so helplessly subdued was a great shock to him as well.

“There’s no need for pursuit. Stop here.”

Then, Yeo Chang-dong appeared and spoke calmly. At those words, Byeon Ak looked bewildered.

“Squad Leader Yeo Chang-dong? What do you mean?”

Normally, it wouldn’t be a place where a mere squad leader could dare interfere. However, the presence of Yeo Chang-dong standing before them now was completely different from usual. Especially Chang Hae, who should have been the first to rage, instead bowed his head and quietly spoke.

“I apologize. Commander. I failed to complete the mission.”

“Com… Commander…?”

At the title that flowed from Chang Hae’s mouth, Byeon Ak’s eyes widened in shock. He looked at Yeo Chang-dong as if he couldn’t believe it. Yeo Chang-dong merely smiled gently while receiving Byeon Ak’s gaze.

“Heukryeon Trading Company has always been of great help to us. Especially… I like how tight-lipped you are.”

The end of his words stretched out subtly. Byeon Ak wasn’t foolish enough not to understand the meaning contained in that single sentence.

“Of… of course.”

Byeon Ak bowed deeply as he answered.

“Then I’ll leave the cleanup here to you.”

“Yes! I’ll handle it cleanly!”

As soon as Yeo Chang-dong finished speaking, Byeon Ak turned around without asking further questions. In Maegyo, those with the title of ‘Commander’ could be counted on one hand.

And such people were beings that a trading company head like Byeon Ak would find difficult to encounter even once in a lifetime.

If he showed unnecessary curiosity, not only his own life but the safety of the trading company could be endangered.

What was needed now was not curiosity but proper conduct. Byeon Ak knew this fact well.

“An unexpected result has occurred.”

Yeo Chang-dong said quietly.

“I have no face to show.”

“No. This isn’t something to blame Chang Hae for.”

Though Yeo Chang-dong spoke calmly, Chang Hae’s expression remained stiff.

“Why did you stop the pursuit?”

Chang Hae’s voice became rough as if his suppressed anger was bursting out. Yeo Chang-dong looked at him for a moment, then answered in a calm tone.

“He’s already escaped. Even if we pursue now, it will take considerable time and manpower to catch him.”

“No! If Cheonhwangpaeundae and Mangakjibwondae coordinate right now to spread Cheonra Jimang—”

Chang Hae, who had been speaking up to that point, suddenly closed his mouth. He knew better than anyone that going further would definitely cross the line.

“Wait a minute. What the hell is going on here? Why aren’t we chasing and just standing around here?”

Then, Sa Yeo-un strode over and interrupted. Chang Hae quickly bowed his head at her approach.

“I showed a disgraceful display, Miss.”

“It doesn’t matter. You weren’t that decent a person to begin with.”

Sa Yeo-un spoke dismissively with an indifferent face.

Since Sa Yeo-un’s personality was already widely known within the sect, everyone just bowed their heads.

Sa Yeo-un turned her gaze to look at Yeo Chang-dong. Then she narrowed her eyes and twisted up the corner of her mouth.

“Well, well, I see a welcome face.”

“Miss Yeo Un. It’s been a while.”

Yeo Chang-dong answered with a light smile.

“I wondered why you haven’t been seen lately, turns out you were doing this kind of work while hiding it from me too.”

“It was the Sect Leader’s order.”

“Of course it was. Brother Chang-dong is someone who would die if father ordered him to, after all.”

Though the words sounded like a joke, there was a strange edge within them. During the brief silence that followed, Sa Yeo-un spoke again.

“It’s not like it’s been just a day or two since I’ve been coming here to look around, so why haven’t you appeared even once until now? Don’t tell me… you weren’t avoiding me, were you?”

It was a sharp, probing remark. However, Yeo Chang-dong’s expression didn’t waver in the slightest. Rather, he answered with a calm smile.

“Haha. How could that be? I’ve just been so busy that we coincidentally had no opportunity to meet.”

“Don’t give me that bullshit. It’s not like you and I have only known each other for a year or two. If you wanted to avoid me, you could have just said so. Making up lies on top of it is even more ridiculous.”

Yeo Chang-dong was silent for a moment. Then he shrugged and said:

“I couldn’t very well say it outright, could I?”

It was essentially an admission. Sa Yeo-un’s eyes lifted slightly.

“You’re honest at times like this.”

After a short laugh, she turned her head. Then she pointed with her finger toward the distant mountain. It was the direction Yoo Eun-hyun had disappeared.

“But what brought you out today of all days?”

Sa Yeo-un’s gaze returned to Yeo Chang-dong.

“Don’t tell me… it’s because of that guy?”

As if he had been waiting for that question, a faint smile appeared on Yeo Chang-dong’s lips.

“It seems Miss Yeo Un knows that fellow.”
