Chapter 212

Seonpung Squad Leader Gu Yang-jung gazed tensely at the wooden fence erected inside the wall.

Not only was it tall, but it was a wooden barrier built densely between the timber with no gaps whatsoever.

Though it was a temporary measure, he hoped it would block the Dang Family’s poison to some extent.

Whiiiiik―

‘They’re here!’

At the time when the sun was at its highest, poison pouches finally came flying over the wall.

Bang!

Splat!

Dozens of poison pouches hit the floor and wooden fence, bursting and releasing green poisonous fog.

Fortunately, the wooden barrier erected in advance played its role, preventing the poisonous fog from spreading into the manor.

“Leader! The Nokgi-dae has begun climbing over the wall!”

Gu Yang-jung could see it too.

Martial artists wearing the green martial robes that were the symbol of the Sichuan Dang Family were climbing up onto the wall without exception.

“Fire!”

At Gu Yang-jung’s shout, the Seonpung Squad members simultaneously released the strings they were holding.

Thung!

Thududududu―

Then hundreds of arrows were simultaneously shot from the mechanism formation installed behind the wooden fence.

Most of the Nokgi-dae were in a state of leaping through midair. Naturally, their movements would be restricted.

However, even seeing the arrows flying densely toward them, not a trace of fear could be found in them.

It was absolute faith toward someone.

“…!”

By the time Gu Yang-jung realized something, it was already too late.

Just before the arrows pierced through the Nokgi-dae’s bodies!

Tadadadadang!

An enormous amount of feather needles poured down from the sky as if a sudden downpour was falling.

Pababababak!

The flying arrows were all struck into the ground by those feather needles, failing to achieve their purpose.

‘Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain!’

Gu Yang-jung’s head jerked back sharply.

A figure floating alone and proudly under the sun.

He was the Dang Family’s Grand Family Head, King Dang Cheol-woo.

‘He has truly reached the realm of Hyeon-gyeong!’

As one who walked the same path of martial arts, his admiration was indescribable.

However, now was not the time to leisurely express admiration.

The feather needles that had rendered hundreds of arrows useless were soaring into the air again.

“Hiiik!”

“Gasp!”

The Seonpung Squad was shaken by the King’s overwhelming martial prowess. No one had imagined that all those arrows would be completely neutralized.

“Everyone concentrate!”

Gu Yang-jung shouted, infusing his voice with internal energy.

“We are the Seonpung Squad! Take pride and engage in battle!”

At Gu Yang-jung’s roar, the Seonpung Squad put antidote liquor in their mouths and covered their noses and mouths with water-soaked cloth.

Though it was cheap antidote liquor, it was better than having nothing at all.

‘How stifling.’

The most important thing in releasing internal energy was breathing.

The water-soaked cloth would inevitably interfere with that breathing.

But their opponents were the Sichuan Dang Family, who freely manipulated poison.

Covering their noses and mouths was not a choice but a necessity.

“Deploy the Great Wall Formation!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

At Gu Yang-jung’s command, the Seonpung Squad immediately formed a combined formation.

‘Their morale is already broken!’

The members’ movements were one or two beats slower than usual.

Seeing his subordinates whose spirit was broken before the miraculous martial prowess of King Dang Cheol-woo, Gu Yang-jung bit his lips.

At this rate, they would surely be defeated before even fighting properly.

“….”

Gu Yang-jung stared ahead with a serious expression. The Nokgi-dae that had jumped over the wall was breaking down the wooden fence that blocked the poisonous fog.

Bang!

Among them, one man caught his attention.

He was Nokgi-dae Leader Dang Seon-jong.

“Jang Seok.”

Gu Yang-jung gripped his sword and called Vice-Leader Jang Seok to give instructions.

“Command the Great Wall Formation.”

“…What?”

“Let’s have a drink when this fight is over.”

Gu Yang-jung glanced at Jang Seok and smiled briefly.

“Leader….”

Without needing to ask, he could tell that Gu Yang-jung had resolved himself to something.

Before Vice-Leader Jang Seok could stop him, Gu Yang-jung rushed toward the enemy formation.

‘This one life is not precious!’

If it weren’t for the Moyong Family, it would have been a life that ended begging on the streets anyway.

If he could repay his debt of gratitude even like this, that would truly be fortunate.

Moreover, Miss Mo Yong-cheong-a.

That was complete nonsense.

Of course, Gu Yang-jung had ears too, so he was well aware of the rumors.

He could also guess for what reason they were trying to link Miss Mo Yong-cheong-a with himself.

But none of that mattered.

He had devoted his entire life working for the Moyong Family.

Just having them say that was enough for Gu Yang-jung to have no regrets.

‘I will answer with my life!’

If the Seonpung Squad and family disciples fought desperately with renewed vigor at his example, that alone would be a sufficiently meaningful action.

“Hoooop!”

Gu Yang-jung filled his lungs with breath and leaped into the poisonous fog, swinging his sword.

Since he had already thrown away his life, he intended to take as many people as possible as companions on the journey.

“Seonpung Squad! Great Wall Formation! Begin!”

Behind him, Vice-Leader Jang Seok’s resounding voice echoed.

“Let’s go too.”

Eok Grandfather, who had been watching the clash between the Nokgi-dae and Seonpung Squad, flew off somewhere.

As if he had been waiting for this, Eok I-geon looked back at me and said.

“On the battlefield, everyone originally has their own battleground. Your battleground is the Gajujeon.”

“Yes.”

I nodded and quickly moved deep into the manor, following Eok Grandfather.

Grandfather would probably try to deal with Grand Family Head Moryong Gil first.

In that gap, I intended to beat down the family head Mo-yong U in place of Grandmother.

‘As expected.’

I came to the most magnificent pavilion and discovered Moryong Gil standing on the rooftop.

Eok Grandfather was looking down at Moryong Gil from midair with his hands clasped behind his back.

“So this is where you were hiding?”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Grandfather’s lips.

“This day has finally come. You wouldn’t know how desperately I prayed for this moment to arrive during these 17 years of being neither dead nor alive.”

“Am-wang.”

Moryong Gil called out to Grandfather calmly.

“It’s all a misunderstanding.”

“A misunderstanding?”

Eok Grandfather gestured with his chin as if to say, go ahead and say whatever you want.

“The liver poison, Makya, and the Honcheon Technique. I truly knew nothing about any of it. Though it’s shameful, I was merely played by that bastard Namgung Cheon’s tongue. Because he was a close friend, I believed and acted without any suspicion. If there’s any guilt, it’s that I agreed without thoroughly investigating the incident.”

“….”

When Eok Grandfather showed no reaction, Moryong Gil hurriedly added.

“We’re victims too! Though I can’t understand those long years, recently our grandson became a cripple after falling into the Shin Chang-yang Family’s trap. I think that was also the Namgung Family’s doing.”

What does the Namgung Family have to do with it?

I’m the one who started that, you know?

Though I didn’t know Yang Gun-cheol would bring in Sado-ryeon and escalate things that far.

“I know it’s too late. But would you accept the Moyong Family’s apology now?”

Moryong Gil stepped back and bowed while cupping his fists.

But his bending waist straightened back up midway.

Judging by his expression, it wasn’t Moryong Gil’s own will.

From how his face tensed up and reddened, it seemed Eok Grandfather had made it so.

“Have you finished saying everything you wanted to say?”

“A-Am-wang.”

Moryong Gil looked up at Eok Grandfather with bewildered eyes.

Of course he would.

Grandfather was already an absolute master who had reached Hyeon-gyeong.

Though Moryong Gil was also a master of Hwa-gyeong, he couldn’t compare to Hyeon-gyeong.

Moreover, all of Nokgi-dae, called the Sichuan Dang Family’s elite forces, had been mobilized.

Now that they had suffered considerable damage in the fight with the Shin Chang-yang Family, the Moyong Family absolutely could not defeat the Dang Family.

That’s why he had endured humiliation and apologized to survive, but in crude terms, it wasn’t even making a dent.

“If you have anything more to say, say it all. These will be your last words in this world.”

Oh my!

Look at our great-grandfather’s way with words!

The way he methodically struck at the solar plexus was exactly my style.

“Listen here, Am-wang!”

Moryong Gil shouted angrily.

“Didn’t I say it was a misunderstanding! Is it acceptable to ignore a person’s sincerity like this?”

“Oh my, I can’t listen to this anymore!”

It was then that a third party’s voice interrupted.

Huh?

Bandit Grandfather!

Without me noticing when he arrived, Bandit Grandfather was crouching on the rooftop.

Grandfather, who made eye contact with me, grinned and waved his hand.

“Ho, Ho Jeon!”

Moryong Gil’s expression hardened rapidly at Bandit Grandfather’s appearance.

“Stop being so pathetic.”

“…What are you saying?”

“Have you already forgotten that I saw Makya was at the Moyong Family?”

“Th-that’s a lie! I never even saw it!”

Moryong Gil protested to Eok Grandfather while denying it to the end.

“Disgraceful, so disgraceful.”

Bandit Grandfather clicked his tongue while looking at Moryong Gil.

“How laughable that someone who calls himself the Grand Family Head of the Moyong Family is desperately struggling to survive!”

“What do you know to dare babble like that! This is a matter between the Dang Family and our family!”

“Did you just call me ‘you bastard’?”

Bandit Grandfather’s shoulders swelled up.

There were two of the Ten Supremes right before him, each one overwhelming enough on their own.

Moryong Gil softened his attitude and tried to regain his composure as quickly as possible.

“But Ho Jeon, what brings you here? Don’t tell me you plan to fight our family on the Dang Family’s side?”

“Ah, don’t mind me. I just came because of my granddaughter.”

Bandit Grandfather sat down with his bottom planted as if he had just come out for a stroll.

“Well, it probably won’t even come to my turn anyway.”

“Gah, ugh!”

Moryong Gil trembled with humiliation.

He had no face to show his ancestors, wondering how the great Moyong Family had fallen into such hardship.

“I promise on my honor. Ho Jeon won’t need to interfere.”

Those words were the beginning.

The killing intent that Eok Grandfather had been hiding began to seep out from his body.

Whoooosh!

A whirlwind formed around Grandfather and crow feather needles flew up.

“Father!”

Sensing the ominous energy, Moryong U rushed over urgently to help his father.

Is it my turn to step in now?

Haha!

I blocked his path with a single leap.

“Hello there?”

“Who are you!”

“Who do you think? Someone from the Sichuan Dang Family.”

“What?”

“Still, since I’ll be the last person you see in this world, I’ll let you know.”

I introduced myself while mimicking Eok Grandfather’s words.

“I’m the granddaughter of Tian Shou Du Hua Dang Ying Ling, Seolha.”

Thud!

At the same time, I stepped into Jin-gak stance and raised my sword.

Mahu descends upon the world.

Descent of the Demon Empress !
