Chapter 39

“How dare you cause such a ruckus here!”

“Don’t you fools know the laws of Wuhan!”

The place I was in was Juru, right in front of the Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters.

Naturally, there were martial artists among the customers.

Those who had unexpectedly been covered in dust burst out in anger toward me and Tam-rang.

Since I had unintentionally caused damage, I was contemplating whether I should apologize.

“Hmph!”

Tam-rang looked at them and snorted dismissively.

“Laughing?”

“Looking at you, you need a good beating to come to your senses!”

Three martial artists drew their swords and surrounded Tam-rang.

“If you apologize for your wrongdoing even now, we’ll generously forgive you.”

The one who seemed to be the eldest among them pointed his sword at Tam-rang and made the proposal.

But Tam-rang wasn’t such a docile fellow.

He threw something at the men surrounding him as if to show off.

Whoosh—

The men instinctively swung their swords to block what was flying at them.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

What Tam-rang had scattered weren’t weapons but small cloth pouches. When they burst from the swords, white powder instantly engulfed them.

“Gack!”

“Urgh!”

“Mmph!”

The men simultaneously grabbed their throats and trembled.

Snap!

Tam-rang grabbed one of them by the collar and pulled him close.

Tam-rang’s eyes turned red as he looked at the martial artist whose gaze was vacant as if drugged.

The martial artist was completely captivated by those red eyes.

“Kill her.”

Tam-rang’s voice echoed eerily.

At that single command, the martial artist’s pupils dilated and he turned his head with a creak to look at me.

“Hrrrrr…”

His focus was completely empty with an ominous groan.

“Kill that woman!”

When Tam-rang commanded again, the other two martial artists also revealed killing intent toward me.

“Hraaaak!”

“Haaak!”

“Kraaaak!”

They weren’t in a normal state.

Their eyes were bloodshot red, and their mouths gaped open like beasts, drooling.

‘Evil Spirit Blood Eyes.’

The moment I saw Tam-rang’s reddened eyes, I could tell it was the soul manipulation technique he had deployed.

Prohibition and isolation, then illusion techniques and soul manipulation.

Facing him directly, he was truly a troublesome opponent.

The martial artists who had lost their reason to the soul manipulation technique rushed at me.

What wrong had they done that I should fight them?

Thud!

I stomped my foot hard.

Debris from the collapsing ceiling bounced up from the recoil.

I stepped on those fragments and leaped into midair.

Tam-rang, thinking this was his chance, picked up a nearby table and threw it at me with all his might.

I split the flying table with a single sword strike.

In that gap, Tam-rang had retreated and was climbing up the wall.

Pop pop pop— Poof!

From his grasp, an enormous amount of confusion drug was scattered. The entire Geumhwa Tower filled with the confusion drug as if fog had rolled in.

“Gasp!”

I quickly held my breath and climbed onto the rafters by stepping on a wooden pillar.

Suddenly my head felt heavy and dizzy.

It seemed I had inhaled some of the confusion drug without realizing it.

I immediately circulated my energy rapidly.

Though it was a very small amount, it was a viciously toxic drug.

Hissss!

I gathered the poison to one side and burned it away with the heat of my internal energy.

“Was that the only place you could barely escape to?”

Two red dots slowly rose from within the hazy drug powder dust.

They were Tam-rang’s red eyes.

Those eyes tracked me.

“Kill her!”

Tam-rang’s voice echoed throughout Geumhwa Tower.

“Hraaaaa!”

“Die, die!”

“Hrrrrr!”

Those who had lost their reason to the soul manipulation technique and confusion drug swarmed toward me.

The martial artists who had learned martial arts leaped up with lightness skills, while ordinary people climbed the wooden pillars and reached out wildly.

In this situation, why would I ridiculously think of zombies?

If they were real zombies, I could at least cut their heads off cleanly, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that to these people.

After all, my target was Tam-rang.

I was careless for a moment, but even so, I’m a daughter of the Dang Family.

I held a poison-neutralizing pill in my mouth and stared ahead.

‘I’ll chase you to the ends of hell.’

I gripped the incense powder of the Dang Family’s Soul-Chasing Incense Technique in my hand.

If you scatter drugs, I can scatter them too!

Whoosh!

I leaped from the rafters and flew toward Tam-rang, using the intact ceiling as a foothold while swinging my sword.

“The little one is quite capable.”

Tam-rang leisurely dodged my attack and thrust out a palm strike.

I also launched a palm strike to match his.

Of course, my palm strike had colorless and odorless incense powder hidden within it.

Bang!

Our palm strikes collided and powder burst out.

‘Confusion drug?’

I wasn’t the only one who had hidden drugs in my palm strike.

Cunning bastard!

“Cough!”

Having been doused with the bewildering drug, I coughed violently.

Thoom!

At that moment, a resonance rang in my head. Tamrang’s eyes looking at me became even redder than before.

‘This is the soul-stealing technique?’

As I stared at him blankly, Tamrang approached with a relaxed expression I’d never seen before.

“Hehehe.”

He laughed with satisfaction and stroked my cheek with the back of his hand.

“You’re prettier than your reputation suggests.”

His hand slowly moved down and lightly gripped my nape.

“Should I kill you by breaking your neck, or should I stab you with a sword?”

As if the mere imagination was delightful, Tamrang giggled excitedly.

“You? Kill me?”

“…!”

When I spoke, Tamrang’s eyes widened like lanterns.

I had pretended to be affected by the soul-stealing technique, and it seemed he was quite shocked.

I channeled energy into my left hand and struck Tamrang’s chest.

The technique called Baeksu Mujeong, named for the mercilessness of white hands.

Kwaang!

The energy burst and Tamrang was sent flying from the impact, crashing into the wall.

“H-how…!”

Clutching his chest in extreme pain, Tamrang asked in a trembling voice.

I stuck out my tongue playfully, showing him the poison-repelling bead I held between my teeth.

It was a supreme-grade poison-repelling bead that Am-jon Grandfather had secretly given me without Grandmother knowing.

As long as I had this, most poisons wouldn’t work on me.

“Urgh… Cough!”

Tamrang coughed up blood.

Having taken a direct hit from Baeksu Mujeong, he must have suffered severe internal injuries.

If he didn’t get treatment immediately, the aftereffects might be quite serious.

Well, that wasn’t my concern.

My priority was to interrogate him and extract as much information about Hyeolcheon-hoe as possible.

However, Tamrang didn’t know how to give up.

“Don’t let this bitch escape from here!”

At Tamrang’s command, the people still trapped in the soul-stealing technique all rushed at me at once.

Bang!

Meanwhile, the bloodied Tamrang smashed through the wall he was leaning against with his elbow and fled.

“That bastard!”

Kwaang!

I too stepped forward and powerfully drove my sword downward.

Mahu Dokjwa.

Where Mahu stands, no one else can stand with her.

The shockwave that erupted from me swept like a storm. The people who had been surrounding me in layers were sent flying in all directions.

Still, since I had shown some restraint, none of them should be seriously injured.

Beyond the broken wall where Tamrang had disappeared, the lingering scent of the tracking powder was creating a clear trail.

Having missed Tamrang regrettably, I headed to An-ga of the Open Door, fuming, where I was supposed to meet Uncle Wang Dang.

Originally, this was where I was supposed to bring Tamrang, so going empty-handed felt a bit awkward.

“Niece Seolha! Are you badly hurt?”

Uncle Wang Dang, who had arrived at An-ga first, saw my disheveled state and ran over in surprise.

“Just some light cuts. Don’t worry.”

It was an unavoidable injury from encountering an illusion formation for the first time.

My clothes were torn and bloodstained from the sword cuts, but actually there was almost no pain.

Besides, this level of injury would heal quickly with just a few circulations of Mahu Hwan-hon Shin-gong.

Though I hadn’t yet reached the level of immortality that Cheonma Grandfather had taught me, I could now use some self-healing abilities.

“Sister!”

“Unni! Sob!”

Eok Hwi-gyeom and Yang Ha-rin, who had heard news of me, came running while crying.

“Did that bastard Tamrang do this to you, Sister? Where is that son of a bitch now?”

“Unni, does it hurt? Did you apply medicine?”

“I’ll go cut off that bastard’s head right now! Ha-rin noona, let’s go together! Huh?”

“Gyeom-ah, calm down! Calm down! Your sister is perfectly fine, you know?”

The fuss from Eok Hwi-gyeom and Yang Ha-rin was actually making me more frazzled.

“And you should worry about him, not me. If I’m like this, what do you think happened to him?”

“Oh! Did you turn him into a half-cripple, Unni?”

What’s with this girl talking about half-cripples when she’s supposed to be a lady?

It was fortunate that Uncle Wang Dang had stepped away.

“He suffered severe internal injuries. I landed a big hit on him.”

Hehehe.

Since I had scattered all the remaining tracking powder on him too, finding Tamrang was now just a matter of time.

Of course, the Dang Hyang Chu-hon technique was a tracking method that only worked when the target was within a certain radius.

I planned to enter the Murimmaeng as soon as my condition recovered and search for him diligently.

Wouldn’t he get caught eventually?

Though we don’t share blood, I too possess the persistence of the Dang Family!

“Well, I’m going to rest now.”

As soon as I entered Wuhan, I had fought Tamrang without properly eating or washing.

I truly wanted to sleep peacefully.

Just as I was about to enter my room, I sensed Seo-ryeon and the other Bongwang-dae members entering An-ga.

“Is the young lady badly injured?”

“It seems she was cut by a sword in several places.”

“Damn that bastard Tamrang!”

With the voices of the members worrying about me behind me, I gradually immersed myself in Mahu Hwan-hon Shin-gong.
