Chapter 188. Move Quickly

 

 

Ha Mu-baek gazed up at the sky.

Fwoooooosh.

After a moment, countless birds flying high in the sky appeared as small dots.

Ha Mu-baek’s arm moved swiftly.

He launched his sword toward the sky.

Swooooosh!

The sword flew high, high up, imbued with Gang Qi.

Ha Mu-baek quietly watched the sword.

Following his gaze, Ha Mu-baek’s sword danced in the sky.

“Gasp… Th-this is Qi Control Sword…”

Ju U-myeong, who had been watching with his Eye Power maximized through Internal Energy, muttered in shock.

The stage called the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Qi Control Sword.

It was unfolding right now in that sky above.

Following the sword that moved freely in midair, messenger pigeons and carrier hawks fell thud thud thud.

The birds that fell before Ha Mu-baek numbered roughly twenty.

Ha Mu-baek frowned at missing the remaining messenger pigeons and carrier hawks.

He collected what was tied to the legs of the fallen birds.

Fortunately, there was nothing that appeared to be poison, and they were all message birds.

However, dismay appeared on the faces of Dang Ji-yeon and the Maengryong Corps Cadets who saw the messages.

It couldn’t be helped.

They were in code.

They couldn’t make out what the contents were at all.

However, Ha Mu-baek and Han Seol-bing instead stared intently at the messages.

And their faces became deeply furrowed.

Though it was something they had expected, seeing it with their own eyes was different.

“As expected, it’s the Blood Sect.”

“Indeed.”

At those words, the cadets’ gazes turned sharply toward the two.

They hadn’t yet told the others about the Blood Sect’s poison.

They had only explained the poison’s severity, and before they could mention it was made by the Blood Sect, trouble had erupted in Muchang.

“Bl-Blood Sect, you say?”

“Hiiiek!”

And there were others who were shocked by those words.

The Dongjeong Nine Heroes.

They too had caught on.

After Ha Mu-baek had used Internal Energy to burn away the poison lurking in their bodies, normal thinking had become possible.

They now instinctively knew there had been a problem with the food from Wolryong Inn they had eaten.

The strange impulses they had shown after eating Wolryong Inn’s cuisine. The messenger pigeons and carrier hawks sent from Wolryong Manor.

And the Blood Sect.

“Ugh, ugh, urgh! Urgh!”

One of them began dry heaving.

Hadn’t they just eaten Wolryong Inn’s cuisine a little while ago?

It didn’t matter now that all the poison had been detoxified.

Only the fact that they had eaten food the Blood Sect had tampered with mattered.

Once one started, the others also began dry heaving.

As if they would vomit up everything in their stomachs.

“Wh-what on earth did we eat?”

The one who appeared to be the leader among the Dongjeong Nine Heroes asked with a pale face.

His gaze was directed toward his sworn brother writhing on the ground with mangled limbs.

They had asked for him to be put at ease, yet he was in such a state.

“Think of it as bad luck.”

Ha Mu-baek seemed to have no intention of giving detailed explanations.

He was focused only on the messages.

The Blood Sect’s code.

There were various types, but fortunately the one used in these messages was one Ha Mu-baek knew.

Having learned several codes of the Blood Sect and Demon Cult through the previous war.

And as he combined the Blood Sect’s code in his head and confirmed the contents…

“These crazy bastards!!!”

Harsh words burst from Ha Mu-baek’s mouth.

“Please analyze the poison.”

After urgently speaking to Dang Ji-yeon, Ha Mu-baek leaped up.

He truly gave it his all.

“Wh-what’s happening?”

Dang Ji-yeon quickly asked back. Doubt also arose in the cadets’ eyes.

However, Ha Mu-baek disappeared in an instant as if he had no time to answer.

The gazes of those remaining turned to Han Seol-bing this time.

Han Seol-bing trembled and muttered lowly.

“Cr-crazy bastards…”

 

Ha Mu-baek truly ran toward Muchang at full power.

Every moment was now urgent.

In an instant, Muchang could transform into hell.

“Jamhon Poison.”

This was the name of the poison mentioned in the message.

And they said they would scatter this in Muchang.

An amount that could poison as many as five hundred people.

He had to stop it.

Once poisoned and turned into Sik Gang-si, there was no turning back.

He absolutely had to stop it before it was scattered.

Ha Mu-baek spread his Ki Sense to the maximum.

He carefully observed the movements of Wolryong Inn and Wolryong Manor.

The movements after the messenger pigeons and carrier hawks had taken flight.

They were indeed busy.

There were those moving suspiciously.

‘Those trying to smuggle out the poison.’

They said they would send an amount of Jamhon Poison that could poison five hundred people to the main sect.

And opposite to that, those trying to move toward Muchang.

Their number was ten.

He had to prevent the Jamhon Poison from escaping, but there was something more urgent.

Precisely preventing the Jamhon Poison from being scattered.

Due to the dishes from Wolryong Inn and Wolryong Pavilion, most of Muchang’s people already had some part of Jamhon Poison lurking in their bodies, whether much or little.

If properly refined Jamhon Poison were sprinkled there…

It wasn’t just five hundred, but far more people who could have become Sik Gang-si.

Innocent common people.

‘These bastards who wouldn’t be satisfied even if I tore them apart and chewed them up.’

Ha Mu-baek’s eyes blazed with fury.

These bastards were always like this.

Whether Gangho people or common folk, it didn’t matter to them.

For their own purposes, they would ruthlessly sacrifice anyone, regardless of who they were.

Ha Mu-baek’s body movement became even faster.

 

***

 

Byeokryeokgae charged at the front.

When all the Beggar Sect members near Muchang were gathered, their number exceeded two hundred.

Among them, the number of those whose martial arts level was above a certain standard was one hundred.

Byeokryeokgae was now leading those hundred beggars, rushing toward Wolryong Manor.

“You bastard!!! Gwang Hoe-cheon!!!!”

A Lion’s Roar filled with rage burst from Byeokryeokgae’s mouth as he crossed over Wolryong Manor’s wall.

“Intruders! Stop them!”

Wolryong Manor Warriors stood in the way of those beggars.

Byeokryeokgae had no intention of having a conversation.

To him, this place was the stronghold of traitors who had joined hands with the Blood Sect.

“They are remnants of the Blood Sect! Sweep them all away!”

Byeokryeokgae shouted while swinging his dog beating staff.

Thwack! Thwack thwack!

The warriors hit by his dog beating staff were turned into bloody pulp and sent flying.

There was no mercy in his hands.

Byeokryeokgae immediately rushed toward the Central Hall.

This was because he already knew that Hyeong Ui-cheon, no, Gwang Hoe-cheon was staying on the top floor of that place.

He deployed his lightness skill and leaped up in one bound.

Crash!

He broke through the window and entered the top floor.

And he came face to face.

With the pig bastard sitting on a chair.

Their gazes met.

Hyeong Ui-cheon smiled slyly.

“You came.”

“You damn bastard.”

Byeokryeokgae’s voice was filled with killing intent.

“Shouldn’t you be somewhere else right now?”

Hyeong Ui-cheon’s question.

He had no doubt that his subordinates would soon be spreading Jamhon Poison in Muchang.

“Gwang Hoe-cheon! Killing you is the most important thing to me.”

Strength entered the hand gripping the dog beating staff.

“Hehe. Still the same. That nature of being distracted by trivial things and missing what’s truly important.”

“You bastard!”

At Hyeong Ui-cheon’s, no, Gwang Hoe-cheon’s mockery, Byeokryeokgae’s dog beating staff flew toward him.

Crack!

The chair Gwang Hoe-cheon had been sitting on was smashed to pieces.

However, Gwang Hoe-cheon was not there.

“Huhu. You came at just the right time. I just finished undoing all the restriction techniques.”

A little distance away.

Gwang Hoe-cheon stood there with an even deeper smile.

Despite his heavy body, his movements were incredibly light.

His fist flew toward Byeokryeokgae.

Byeokryeokgae swung his dog beating staff to block that fist.

Bang!

With a tremendous explosion, shockwaves spread in all directions.

Byeokryeokgae’s eyes widened.

“How?”

It had matched his dog beating staff evenly.

Gwang Hoe-cheon.

Though this bastard was a martial arts genius, he had been weaker than himself.

And having lived for years while hiding his martial arts, his level couldn’t have improved from back then.

Yet now he was showing power equal to his own.

“Hehe. The restriction technique wasn’t just a simple restriction technique.”

Laughter flowed from Gwang Hoe-cheon’s mouth.

At the same time, his heavy body began to distort strangely.

A bizarre sight of flesh moving in lumps.

“Not a chance!”

Byeokryeokgae paid no heed and swung his dog beating staff.

His bamboo dog beating staff, filled with his Gang Qi, glowed green.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Consecutive explosions erupted.

Gwang Hoe-cheon blocked Byeokryeokgae’s dog beating staff with fists filled with red Gang Qi.

Meanwhile, his body continued to show changes.

The body that seemed to be grotesquely distorting gradually shrank.

The heavy body seemed to slowly decrease in volume.

Eventually.

It transformed into a muscular, sleek body.

His movements began to speed up.

Byeokryeokgae deployed the Drunken Eight Immortals Steps and Dog Beating Staff Technique to face such Gwang Hoe-cheon.

“You joined the Blood Sect and became a monster!”

Boom boom bang!

Everything around was smashed to pieces.

“Hehehe. It’s not important that I became a monster, Byeokryeokgae. Soon a hellish scene will unfold in Muchang. Hehehe. Hahaha!”

 

***

 

“Move quickly, quickly.”

The one who appeared to be the leader among the ten-man group urged his subordinates.

These were those who had received Manager Dong’s orders.

They knew well what kind of poison they carried in their bosoms.

“Beggar Sect members are coming this way. We must avoid those bastards and spread the poison in as many places as possible.”

“Yes.”

The nine subordinates answered in unison to his explanation.

“When spreading the poison, be sure to close your mouth and hold your breath so you don’t eat or inhale it. You know what happens if you inhale more than a lethal dose, right?”

The nine nodded their heads.

You become an inhuman monster.

A monster that craves only to devour anything.

The ten people carefully left Wolryong Manor.

While avoiding encounters with the Beggar Sect’s beggars as much as possible.

Behind them, Byeokryeokgae’s loud shout could be heard.

It was a matter of split seconds.

If they had delayed just a little longer, they would have run into the Gaebang Members.

 

While Wolryong Manor’s movements were urgent, Muchang was peaceful.

Though the monstrous incident had occurred, that place was merely a small location compared to the vast Muchang.

For most people in Muchang, today was just another peaceful day like any other.

The only difference was the spectacular sight of countless birds suddenly taking flight into the sky.

The ten warriors blended into the crowd and moved accordingly.

They had already selected ten locations where they would spread the poison.

This was according to Manager Dong’s instructions.

Groups of beggars were moving throughout Muchang.

People tilted their heads at this sight.

They wondered what was suddenly happening.

Some people thought that perhaps some commotion might occur today.

The ten passed by the beggar groups with calm expressions.

And they looked at each other and nodded.

 

They continued to infiltrate through the crowds and move secretly.

Finally, they arrived at the first location.

Gyoryongguan Main Gate.

This was the beginning.

Here they would spread the first poison and simultaneously scatter to nine locations.

When chaos erupted here due to the monstrous incident, they would simultaneously spread poison at the other nine locations.

That was the plan.

Not far from the Gyoryongguan Main Gate was a bustling main road with many people coming and going. If they spread poison, the chaos would be that much greater.

If chaos occurred at Gyoryong Hall, the Jeongcheonmaeng Muchang Branch’s attention would be focused on Gyoryong Hall.

The opening would grow larger.

Then, if they spread poison simultaneously at the other nine locations.

Muchang would truly become hell.

They exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

One of them kicked off the wall of a building beside the main road and launched his body toward the air, leaping high up.

When the Gate Guards at Gyoryongguan Main Gate looked at him with expressions of ‘what kind of madman is that.’

He pulled out a small pouch from his chest, broke the seal, and scattered its contents in all directions with full force.

The wind was just right.

The number of people was just right.

The day was truly perfect.

For poisoning countless people.

At this rate, it seemed the poison could spread even inside Gyoryong Hall.

Now it would spread in all directions through the air, poisoning at least fifty people.

If more than fifty monsters were born, amid that chaos they would scatter and spread poison at nine locations again.

The plan was a success.

Just as he was about to make that judgment.

Ssaeeeeeeeeek!

From somewhere, an Air-Rending Sound that tore through the air could be heard.
