Chapter 289. Ah, Mother…!

 

 

“Fi, Finally…”

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s voice came out slightly trembling.

Now Anjing was truly within reach.

She had come close enough to clearly see the city’s pavilions.

Just a little more walking and she could enter Anjing.

Then she planned to rest thoroughly for a day.

She was in an extremely exhausted state right now.

Next, she just needed to board a ship and it would be over.

Then she would escape from the persistent pursuit of those detestable Shaolin monks.

It was now late afternoon.

Just as she was about to quicken her pace, thinking she needed to enter before sunset.

Kwakwakwakwakwa!!

Air-rending sounds faintly heard from afar.

With an ominous feeling, Gongya Hwi-yeon put strength into her legs.

She walked faster, then finally ran.

She had a feeling that she was somehow the target of those air-rending sounds.

No, she was certain of it.

‘How…’

She had worked so hard to erase her traces.

To chase her this accurately, this quickly.

She ran.

She didn’t know why, but.

Anjing.

If she could just reach that place, it felt like she would have some way out.

She ran with all her might.

Until her breath caught in her throat, sweat poured down, and her legs ached.

She ran desperately for her life.

“Caught you. Kekeke.”

Along with an eerie voice, a spine-chilling sinister laugh reached Gongya Hwi-yeon’s ears.

It had definitely come from behind.

But like a ghost, a human shadow appeared before her eyes.

Though it was a sudden situation, Gongya Hwi-yeon didn’t stop.

She changed direction, trying to advance even one more step toward Anjing.

“Klkl. What a cute thing to do.”

Thud.

Along with those words, she felt a heavy impact on her back.

Gongya Hwi-yeon tumbled and rolled on the ground in the direction she had been running.

Even so, Gongya Hwi-yeon sprang up and moved toward Anjing.

“Tsk. How bothersome. Stop.”

Those words.

It was just a single sentence.

But Gongya Hwi-yeon could no longer move forward.

A damp and ominous energy bound her entire body.

Caught by such energy, she couldn’t move a muscle.

“Th, This is…”

He was a tremendously skilled master.

Only then could Gongya Hwi-yeon see the person who had restrained her.

Red eyebrows, eyes with a subtle red tinge.

A shiny head, and a completely worn kasaya.

His appearance was definitely that of a monk.

But the energy he emanated was not.

For Gongya Hwi-yeon, who was from the Demonic Faction, to feel such damp and ominous energy.

“You’ve done quite cunning things while running away. This monk is called Hyeon-hwang of Shaolin.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s eyes widened.

This kind of person was a Shaolin monk?

It was absurd.

She would have believed it if he said he was from the Demon Cult or Blood Cult instead.

Hyeon-hwang made an expression as if Gongya Hwi-yeon’s reaction was amusing.

“What an ill-mannered being. There are countless unknowable things in this world.”

While saying this, he glanced back toward Anjing.

“Were you so desperately trying to go there because of that fellow in that place?”

Hyeon-hwang was clearly sensing Ha Mu-baek’s presence in Anjing.

At those words, Gongya Hwi-yeon’s eyes trembled slightly.

Who on earth was in Anjing for him to say such things?

For her, these were incomprehensible words.

“If I had plenty of time, I would have played with you as much as you wanted. But this monk doesn’t have much time left. I need to take you to Songshan Mountain quickly.”

Along with those words, he gestured lightly.

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s body floated up and moved to Hyeon-hwang’s side.

Gongya Hwi-yeon floated in midair beside Hyeon-hwang.

She struggled with all her might but could do nothing.

Hyeon-hwang quietly observed her.

“You have some interesting things.”

Hyeon-hwang briefly looked at Gongya Hwi-yeon’s face and both wrists.

“Well, it has nothing to do with capturing you. That’s something Abbot Senior Brother will handle. I just need to bring you within the deadline.”

While saying this, Hyeon-hwang quietly calculated the dates.

“Kekeke. If we hurry, we might even be able to rest briefly in Deungbong County.”

The five-day period Hyeon-gwang had proposed.

If they moved like this, it seemed they could create about a day’s leeway.

“I, I don’t understand what you’re talking about at all. Master, who do you think I am to persecute me like this?”

A hoarse and cracked voice flowed out.

It was because she had deliberately damaged her vocal cords with medicine.

Hearing that voice, Hyeon-hwang chuckled.

“It seems you’ve tampered with your throat too. Klkl. If it had been someone other than me, they wouldn’t have been able to catch you. Klkl. Abbot Senior Brother’s decision to send me was truly an excellent judgment.”

If she was someone who possessed two artifacts and would even damage her own throat to change her voice.

He was certain that Yeon-jin’s group could never have caught this woman even if they died and came back to life.

“I, I really don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon spoke with a face that showed she didn’t understand, struggling until the very end.

At those words, Hyeon-hwang’s face hardened coldly.

“Shut your mouth before I tear all your clothes to shreds. Such pathetic tricks don’t work on this monk—no, this master.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon closed her mouth.

Those eyes.

They were real.

If she continued struggling here, those were the eyes of someone who would really tear all her clothes to pieces.

Gongya Hwi-yeon bit her lips.

Now thinking that she would truly be captured by Shaolin with no way out.

Blood flowed from between her teeth that had pierced her lips.

Hyeon-hwang acted as if such things didn’t matter to him.

He gauged the direction.

To arrive as quickly as possible, running straight in a direct line would be the best method.

While coming to this place, he couldn’t move in the shortest distance due to tracking.

If he ran straight in a direct line, it seemed he could have a good drink in Deungbong County.

“The courtesans at Deungbong County’s pleasure houses are quite mediocre though…”

Hyeon-hwang muttered regretfully.

It couldn’t be helped.

Since it was where Shaolin Temple was located, there weren’t many pleasure houses and it was difficult to find courtesans.

Since Deungbong County was crowded with pilgrims visiting Shaolin Temple.

It was a difficult place to operate pleasure houses.

At Hyeon-hwang’s words about seeking courtesans, Gongya Hwi-yeon flinched and trembled.

It was because she worried whether he might target her body.

Hyeon-hwang chuckled.

“Girl. Don’t worry needlessly. I was told not to touch even a hair on you since you have a use. Damn that Abbot Senior Brother. Telling me to capture a woman with such an appetizing body.”

Hyeon-hwang couldn’t see Gongya Hwi-yeon’s true face hidden by the Ten Thousand Illusion Divine Face.

However, he could properly see the curves of her body covered by clothes.

It was truly a figure that drew fantastic curves.

Should she feel relieved.

Or should she worry.

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s face was full of confusion.

“Now let’s go. I’m terribly thirsty for alcohol and women right now.”

Hyeon-hwang, who had set his direction like that, was about to kick off the ground but stopped.

And he looked in one direction.

“Hmm. Was there a rat following?”

Hyeon-hwang had been running while only looking ahead.

He had concentrated all his attention on finding Gongya Hwi-yeon’s evil energy.

So he could search incredibly far distances ahead.

But instead, he was defenseless from behind.

Only after capturing Gongya Hwi-yeon did Hyeon-hwang circulate his ki sense as usual.

Only now did he notice the existence pursuing him from behind.

However.

Hyeon-hwang’s expression changed strangely.

“Oh ho. It’s a woman!”

His two eyes gleamed.

It was lewd lust.

While he couldn’t touch the woman he had just caught, the rat that had followed him was different.

Gongya Hwi-yeon couldn’t escape from confusion at the situation that had changed once again.

There was a woman who had pursued this monster-like evil monk?

Who on earth?

For what reason?

 

***

 

Woomun Ga-yul ran with all her might.

And at the same time, she revealed her presence to the fullest.

At the movement of the owner of the ominous energy encountering the Shaolin monks and soon heading somewhere.

Since she was convinced he was chasing her daughter.

She tried to turn the attention of that ominous energy’s owner to herself first.

It was to prevent him from reaching her daughter first.

Since his movement showed no hesitation, as if he was moving with his destination precisely identified.

She had to stop that being’s steps first.

No matter how greatly she revealed her presence.

The owner of the ominous energy didn’t stop his steps.

He only moved quickly in one direction.

If there was any fortune, it was that he briefly stopped his steps at night?

Woomun Ga-yul truly pursued without rest.

Because only then could she narrow the distance.

It seemed she hadn’t slept for three nights already.

Even so, her two eyes shone.

Because she had a clear goal.

She ran and ran again, deploying her lightness skill with full power like that.

In the afternoon when the sun gradually tilted westward.

Woomun Ga-yul’s face darkened.

Because the owner of the energy she was pursuing had stopped.

It meant he had reached his target.

She truly increased her speed even more with all her dying strength.

Hoping that her daughter, Gongya Hwi-yeon, wouldn’t be there.

She was getting closer and closer.

When she raised the eye power of the Tyrannical Heaven-Killing Archery to its limit, she could faintly see that being’s form in the distance.

Worn robes and a cleanly shaved bald head.

It was the appearance of a Shaolin monk.

And a woman floating in midair right beside him.

‘Yeon-ah!’

Appearance didn’t matter.

She could tell the moment she saw her.

It was her daughter.

Because she had arrived one step late, she had been captured like that.

As expected, the ominous premonition had come true.

To subdue a person and float them in midair with levitation technique.

Just what level was his martial realm?

The opponent seemed to have just noticed her existence.

Even though she had increased her presence so much, he hadn’t noticed.

It was still a far distance where she couldn’t be confirmed with the naked eye.

Even so, at the feeling that their gazes had met in midair.

Woomun Ga-yul stopped right there.

She held the bow slung diagonally over her shoulder in her left hand.

She nocked an arrow to the bowstring of the Hwabong-gakgung.

The bowstring drawn to its limit.

The bow shaft bent to its breaking point.

Woomun Ga-yul put all her internal energy into the bow and arrow.

Tyrannical Heaven-Killing Archery.

The final, strongest form and ultimate technique.

Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow.

Gang qi formed on the arrow that contained Woomun Ga-yul’s internal energy to its limit.

Pitch-black dark gang.

It was one of the reasons she was called Muk Nan-hwa.

‘I should have been more careful about bringing arrows too….’

Ordinary arrows had great limitations in containing her internal energy.

She could contain much more internal energy, but the arrows couldn’t accept it.

Though she had infused Gang Qi, she couldn’t unleash maximum power.

It was too late to regret now.

She could only do her best in the current situation.

Ping!

Woomun Ga-yul released the bowstring.

Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!!!

The Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow flew with momentum as if it would shatter the world immediately.

Scattering tremendous air-rending sounds.

It flew like a beam of light.

 

Hyeon-hwang first felt the tremendous qi energy flying toward him.

The arrow immediately came into view.

The arrow filled with dark colored Gang Qi flew at terrifying speed, emanating momentum as if it would tear him apart.

Gongya Hwi-yeon also confirmed the arrow.

Her two eyes trembled violently.

She could tell the moment she saw it.

The Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow of Tyrannical Heaven-Killing Archery.

And Dark Gang at that.

Moreover, hadn’t this strange monk said it was a woman.

Woman. Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow. Dark Gang.

These three things pointed to only one person.

‘M-Mom…!’

Perhaps because of the situation.

The word “mom” came to mind rather than “mother.”

Gongya Hwi-yeon finally shed tears.

“Not bad!”

Hyeon-hwang chuckled.

Gongya Hwi-yeon’s body, which had been floating, moved.

Precisely positioning herself in the space between the arrow and Hyeon-hwang.

At this rate, the arrow would hit Gongya Hwi-yeon’s chest.

Even so, Woomun Ga-yul didn’t bat an eye.

Though her heart ached at her daughter’s tears visible even from afar, she had to do what needed to be done now.

She simply stared intently at the arrow.

The same was true for Gongya Hwi-yeon.

Though she was shedding tears, she wasn’t shaken.

Even with her mother’s arrow flying toward her chest, she showed not an inch of wavering.

Hyeon-hwang, unaware of their relationship, watched the arrow and Gongya Hwi-yeon with fascinated eyes.

The arrow that reached Gongya Hwi-yeon’s chest in an instant.

At that moment.

It suddenly curved and shot up into midair.

Then plunged straight down toward Hyeon-hwang’s crown.

The realm of Yi Gi Eo Si!

Woomun Ga-yul moved the arrow’s direction freely with sight and will alone.

“Not bad?”

Even with the arrow’s sudden change, Hyeon-hwang didn’t panic and struck out with his fist.

That movement was.

Hundred Step Divine Fist.

The fist filled with gray, ominous Gang Qi directly collided with the Dark Gang arrow.

Kwaaaaaaaang!!!!!

The ground and sky shook with the tremendous explosion.

Gongya Hwi-yeon was swept away by the storm created by the collision of fist and arrow, flying and rolling on the ground.

“Keueuuk.”

A groan naturally flowed from her mouth at the tremendous pain striking her entire body.

Woomun Ga-yul kicked off the ground and ran.

She had to save her daughter in this moment when her daughter was separated from that bastard.

Three arrows were already nocked on the bowstring.

Arrows shot while running on the ground.

Silent Arrow.

Dominating Power Arrow.

Heaven Killing Arrow.

Arrows of different techniques flew in three directions targeting the enemy.

Hyeon-hwang’s right fist was still struggling against the Dark Gang of the Tyrannical God-Destroying Heaven-Killing Arrow.

The corner of his mouth curved up as he glared at the three arrows flying toward him.

“Let’s see, let’s see….”

Tremendous qi energy exploded from his body.

Once again the ground shook and the sky trembled.

Woomun Ga-yul attacked Hyeon-hwang with all her might. To save her daughter.

Thus the battle between the two continued.

 

***

 

The collision between the two near Anjing.

However, the aftermath didn’t reach Anjing.

This was due to the collision occurring at just that distance.

Ha Mu-baek, who was spreading his Ki Sense limited to just one city, couldn’t feel such a collision outside Anjing.

The power wasn’t enough for Ha Mu-baek to sense.

However.

The air was different.

Ha Mu-baek felt this and tilted his head.

“Is something happening?”

The moment he thought about temporarily stopping his search for Gongya Hwi-yeon’s presence and expanding his Ki Sense outside the city.

The aftermath reached Anjing.

At the sudden faint thunder-like sound echoing through the sky, people stopped walking and looked around.

Bewildered faces wondering what this sudden occurrence was.

Fear also appeared on some faces.

Ha Mu-baek also felt this disturbance.

He immediately changed the range of Ki Sense he had spread to find Gongya Hwi-yeon, expanding it widely outside the city.

Because it seemed some trouble had occurred outside Anjing.

Ki Sense spreading widely like that.

And the beings caught in it.

“This is…. Fuck.”

Ha Mu-baek’s body movement disappeared from Daru after he spat out a curse.
