Chapter 128

Unlike Seolha, Eok I-geon leisurely entered inside while lifting the hanging curtain at the entrance with his hand.

Then a Changcheon Squad member sitting near the entrance immediately stood up and approached.

“There are no seats available today, so please go somewhere else.”

He placed his hand on Eok I-geon’s shoulder and gestured with his chin as if telling him to turn back and leave.

Naturally, Eok I-geon’s gaze turned to his own shoulder and the opponent’s hand resting on it.

Eok I-geon’s eyes flashed.

Swoosh!

His sword cut off the arm that dared to touch his body in one stroke.

The severed arm fell to the floor as blood gushed out profusely.

‘No, it would gush out.’

At the vivid scene drawn in his mind, Eok I-geon shook his head and let out a sigh.

He recalled the fact that Seolha disliked seeing blood.

If she saw this scene even belatedly, she would obviously be disgusted.

Yet she would be unable to say anything because she found him intimidating.

‘She would endure it by suppressing her feelings inside.’

He could understand a hundred times over why she found him intimidating.

After all, she had originally started as his personal maid.

‘But why exactly does she fear me so much?’

For Eok I-geon, it was a daily mystery.

He had no memory of acting scary toward Seolha.

“Can’t you understand what I’m saying? Hey!”

The Changcheon Squad member, unable to endure Eok I-geon’s momentary contemplation any longer, pushed his shoulder roughly.

At that moment, Eok I-geon’s eyes sharpened as he glared at the man.

“Why are you opening your eyes like that… Ma, demonic energy?”

When Eok I-geon released the demonic energy he had been suppressing, the opponent flinched in surprise and widened his eyes.

He probably never even thought he would encounter a demon in such a rural county.

Thud!

Before he could attempt his next action, Eok I-geon’s sword pierced through his jaw in one strike.

“Guk!”

The man who suffered a fatal wound died instantly.

“What, what?”

“Huh?”

“…Demonic energy?”

Three colleagues nearby quickly rose from their seats.

Eok I-geon flicked his fingers toward them as if he had been waiting.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The heads of the three members hit by the energy bullets of the Jade-Breaking Bullet Technique jerked back as they collapsed. Red dots were clearly marked in the center of their foreheads.

‘Good.’

Eok I-geon was inwardly satisfied that he could start cleanly without splattering blood.

“It’s a demon!”

With a belated cry, a man kicked off a table and leaped toward Eok I-geon in an instant.

“How dare you! Do you know where this is!”

He was Dan Joong-seon, deputy leader of the Changcheon Squad. Sword energy was already gathered at the tip of his blade.

Dan Joong-seon swung his sword with all his might, intending to cut Eok I-geon’s body in half.

Clang!

However, Eok I-geon blocked his sword all too easily.

As the two swords clashed, a fierce shockwave momentarily shook the surroundings.

“Ugh!”

Deputy Leader Dan Joong-seon, overpowered by the force, quickly stepped back to create distance.

But Eok I-geon wouldn’t let him go.

Closing the gap with him in one move, Eok I-geon followed up.

Clang clang clang!

The swords clashed violently about three times. Short explosive sounds from the collisions occurred in succession.

Eok I-geon nodded as if he understood roughly.

“So this is the level of the Namgung Family.”

“Grr!”

Watching Dan Joong-seon bristle with anger, Eok I-geon began to draw up his internal energy in earnest. A clear sword aura burst forth from his blade.

Crash!

As if the exchanges they had shared until now were just a joke, Eok I-geon shattered Dan Joong-seon’s sword in one strike.

Clatter!

Fragments of the broken sword scattered in all directions.

Eok I-geon rode that momentum to aim for his opponent’s waist.

However, just before cutting, Eok I-geon suddenly stopped his sword.

“I almost spilled blood.”

Thinking of Seolha who would dislike it, his mind changed.

“Cleanly.”

Withdrawing his sword, Eok I-geon immediately threw a punch.

Thump!

Eok I-geon’s demonic energy seeped into Dan Joong-seon’s body.

It was his specialty technique, the Crushing Divine Fist.

The demonic energy that penetrated Deputy Leader Dan Joong-seon’s body ran wild, tearing his internal organs to shreds.

“Aaaaah!”

Dan Joong-seon screamed and rolled on the floor. He looked extremely agonized, but externally, not a single drop of blood splattered.

‘This should be enough.’

A satisfied smile bloomed on Eok I-geon’s lips.

Clang!

Clang! Clang!

The Changcheon Squad members who had been watching the deputy leader’s fight drew their swords all at once, venting their fury.

“Deploy the Great Expansion Formation!”

When someone shouted, the confused group quickly organized and surrounded Eok I-geon in an instant.

‘I wonder if she’s doing well?’

Regardless, Eok I-geon glanced outside.

He was somewhat concerned about Seolha’s first real combat.

Mistaking this as an attempt to flee, the Changcheon Squad members blocked the entrance.

“You’re now a rat trapped in a jar!”

“Do you think you can survive after daring to touch the great Namgung Family!”

“Haha.”

It was so absurd that laughter naturally escaped.

Thud.

Eok I-geon took one step while looking around at the Changcheon Squad that had completed their sword formation and was confidently closing in.

The energy concentrated at his toes shook the ground.

Thud thud!

With the following steps, not only the floor but the entire building swayed.

Boom!

Finally, when a fragment of the Heavenly Demon’s Dominion Steps unfolded from his feet, powerful energy waves spread in all directions.

Rumble—

The stone floor of the tavern surged and rolled back like waves.

All the Changcheon Squad members surrounding Eok I-geon lost their balance and fell backward on their bottoms.

“Urgh!”

“Hup!”

Among everyone who was sprawled out, only one person remained standing.

Only Namgung Jin-ung, the leader of the Changcheon Squad, stood there calmly.

“Break the formation and retreat. You are no match for him!”

Namgung Jin-ung walked forward.

“Who are you?”

“There’s no time.”

There was no reason to exchange names, but more than that, the situation outside was urgent.

“Come.”

Eok I-geon exploded his inner power once again and took a step forward.

Kwaaaaak!

With that single step, the ground burst open once more.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I swung my sword like a whip toward the dazed man.

The heavy sword energy pounded his entire body again and again.

I deliberately didn’t sharpen the blade with strong energy.

I removed the sharpness and made the sword energy like a club.

Heavy things hurt more than sharp ones, after all.

“Keurgh! Urgh… Ueoheoeok!”

The middle-aged man showed none of his initial vigor.

Against the brutally relentless attacks, he could only get hit here and there, helplessly pushed back.

Eventually, his back hit the wall.

Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

“Wench?”

I glared at the man as if daring him to say it again.

“Do you know how offensive that sounds to the listener?”

The sight of him rolling his eyes, plotting escape in this situation, was quite pathetic.

“Mister, this is just the beginning. Where do you think you’re going!”

At my warning, despair filled the middle-aged man’s eyes.

“N-no… don’t…”

“You like things that shouldn’t happen. Because of you people, our grandmother! Huh?”

I think there might be something wrong with my personality lately.

Instead of feeling pity for the trembling man, I felt even more furious.

I struck the man down with sword energy again without a trace of mercy.

Kwang!

The man was buried in the wall from the strong force. Cracks spread across the wall surface and dust fell down.

However, my single strike was just the beginning.

Mahu Whispering Heaven .

One stream of sword energy split into two. The two streams of energy split again into four, and I poured the bundle of divided and split energy onto the man.

Bang bang bang bang!

Under the tremendous bombardment, his body was driven into the wall again and again until he finally broke through the wall and was flung outside.

“Keurgh…”

The middle-aged man collapsed unconscious just like that.

I don’t know for sure, but it would probably be difficult for him to hold a sword again.

Of course, assuming he keeps his life.

“Whew.”

I grabbed one of the man’s ankles and dragged him over to Hwangbo Un, who was still in a daze.

“Hwang…”

Just as I was about to speak to him.

Kwarrrr— Kuwoong!

Before my eyes, the Dagwan building collapsed with a thunderous roar.

‘Geez.’

Eok I-geon brushed off the dust and calmly walked out of the rubble.

‘This person really!’

I looked back and forth between the collapsed building and Eok I-geon, then ran over and spoke accusingly.

“What are we supposed to do about destroying the building too? That person looks like the owner!”

Some man was sitting on the wet ground with a blank expression, staring at the collapsed Dagwan. He looked utterly devastated as if the sky had fallen.

Eok I-geon listened to my words with an indifferent face, then shrugged and replied.

“I was in a hurry, so it turned out that way. But at least there was no bloodshed.”

What? Excuse me?

I looked up at Eok I-geon with bewildered eyes.

Is he saying this like it’s something to be proud of?

‘What’s with that proud expression?’

And what about bloodshed?

Does he think this is a joke!

A building collapsed, a building. You know?

Frustrated, I pounded my chest.

“Hah!”

How much would we have to pay to compensate for everything?

My head was already starting to throb.

“I can’t live like this, I can’t live. Really, if this happens again…”

That’s when it happened.

Crack!

An ominous sound of something breaking came from behind me.

‘What, what is it…?’

Thud thud thud!

Ominous noises echoed one after another like an eerie echo.

‘It’s not, right? Huh? It can’t be.’

Gulp!

I swallowed nervously and carefully turned my head.

Warrrrr—!

Was it waiting for me to look?

The scene I had desperately hoped wouldn’t happen unfolded.

The fruit shop building had completely collapsed.

Thick dust mixed with rainwater rose up.

Whiiing.

A gust of wind happened to blow by.

“Uh…”

I blinked once.

This was very flustering, but I needed to stay calm at times like this.

I could feel Eok I-geon’s gaze from right beside me.

Oh well, whatever.

Like Puss in Boots from yesterday when we seemed to understand each other, I opened my eyes wide and whispered to him.

“You have some money, right?”
