Chapter 56

Bu Eunseol is tasked with dealing with the Namsagok Reavers operating in Akyang.
As night fell, he attempted to sneak into the home of the South Song outside the South Gate.
Suddenly, they’re popping up and going somewhere?
Sensing something was amiss, Bu Eun-sul stealthily followed the group and found them attacking the disciples of the Hyungsan Sect.
“What a mess.
Bu Eun-sul, who had watched the Sect’s swordplay against the flesh-eaters, murmured lowly.
Ascendancy or secret sauce?
That’s not necessarily what’s needed to choke the life out of the enemy. What you need is a strong will and confidence to kill them.
However, the disciples of the Hyung San Sect had lost both their will and confidence to kill their enemies.
Instead, he looked frustrated with each sword move.
“I’m not going to make it through this.
Bu Eun-sul let out a low snort as she watched the fight between Brother Sanpa and Salsu.
It didn’t take long before all of the disciples of the Formation Sect, except for Mingyun, were injured and lying on the ground.
“Who are you!”
The cry of the boss killer roused Snowflake from her reverie.
“Who am I?”
The eyes of the hooded figure narrowed. A chill ran down the spines of the Salvesu as they met his sneer.
“Kill this guy now…….”
Salsu didn’t continue.
Question and answer dance. Having already made up her mind to exterminate the Southern Song Salsu, Bu Eun-sul drew her sword and stabbed the Salsu in the neck.
“Eek.”
With a gasp, he fell like a log.
Then the rest of the sprinklers began to surround Buunsul.
Sasasasas.
The salves split into two groups and circled around Buunsul.
It is a dizzying movement, like two snakes wrapping themselves around each other. It is a display of the poisonous teeth, the killing jin, that Namsagok is famous for.
“This is a wasteful move.”
It’s normal to feel dizzy just looking at poison ivy, due to its characteristically brilliant progression.
But to Bu Eunseol’s eyes, who had mastered the beast dao, their movements were clear.
“You have to move fast to confuse the enemy.”
Without hesitation, Bu Eun-sul stabbed his sword into the left room.
“Billion.”
At the same time, a groan escaped Salsu’s mouth as he was stabbed again.
Buunseol seemed to be stabbing randomly, but it was a place where there was a loophole.
Chirp!
As Bu Eun-sul effortlessly broke the pattern, someone in the watering can shouted.
“I’m a master of decay, shoot memorization from a distance!”
The Salsu who had broken the jinjutsu retreated back to distance themselves from Buunsul.
But that was a mistake on their part.
“Who talks about operations in front of the enemy?”
Moving at breakneck speed, Bu Eunseol weaved through the fires that spread out in all directions, picking them off one by one.
“Ugh…….”
Terror flashed in the eyes of the Salsu as they looked at their dying comrades.
It tolerates neither retreat nor offense.
Moving like a phantom, the sword of the swollen snow was steadily cutting the lifelines of the salvagers.
“You’re not very good.
Boo Eun-sul, who has only ever played against those above her.
To him, the players in the South Quartet are just a bunch of heads. The performance felt flat.
“It’s a judge!”
Realizing that they could not escape from Buunsul’s grasp, the salves attacked en masse.
ShackleShackleShackle!
The momentum was like a tidal wave as the two dozen swords rained down.
His eyes widened as he stared at the swords coming at him from all directions.
The swordsmanship of the Salsu is more about demonstrating the will to kill the enemy through actions than through words.
“In other words, will is also a great herbivore.
His sword moved effortlessly as he watched the swords pour in.
“And will can be turned into momentum.
Enlightened, Bu Eunseol hid the sword behind her back, which had been moving naturally.
“……!”
At that moment, Salsu felt a strange pressure on his fingertips, and the sword in his hand suddenly moved in a strange direction.
“What is this!”
The Salsu wielded their poisoned swords once more in embarrassment.
However, Bu Eun-sul was once again holding the sword in a strange position.
Bam!
The sword that had been stabbing him was now bouncing off of the trees.
“It’s a sword frenzy!”
The salvagers retreated in confusion as they realized that what Bu Eun-sul had unleashed was a sword poleaxe that could only be used by a sword master.
“Is there any other way to do it?”
As Bu Eun-sul approached with a stern look on her face, the Salsu took another frightened step backward.
“So this is what the South Sector was like.”
Bu Eun-sul couldn’t hide her disappointment.
At the time, boy soldiers who were less than a year old on the Infernal Way used all sorts of bizarre methods to kill each other.
Poisons and memorization were the norm, and there were those who would risk the lives of their colleagues or even their own to try and get in.
‘I didn’t realize that Namsagok, a powerhouse killing group, had such a mediocre level.
In fact, rather than being weak, it was due to the rapid increase in Bu Eun-sul’s skill.
But he was completely unaware of his own strength.
“No need to be cocky!”
Just then, one of the salves glared at Buunsul and called out.
“I’m sure I’ll deal with you in this one!”
Quadruple!
A bizarre sound echoed in the mouths of the killers.
At the same time, black, gory blood began to ooze from their mouths.
When they realized that they couldn’t outrun it, they bit down on a fake tooth that was filled with extreme poison.
Kung. Thump.
As the trees were falling like logs,
“Ugh!”
When the beasts died, only groans echoed through the forest.
When I looked back, I saw the surviving disciples of the Hyung San Sect in tears.
It wasn’t pain, it was shame.
-The young masked man single-handedly defeated the Salsu, who could not be defeated by nine men.
Eek.
Wiping away his tears, Jade Mist staggered over to Buunsul and clasped his hands together.
“Thank you for your help. Silver ball.”
“Don’t be mistaken.”
Bu Eunsul turned around and said coldly.
“It was not to help you.”
“Even so…… in the end, the disciples of the Bon Sect were saved, all thanks to you.”
“Think what you will.”
Bu Eunseol was about to turn away, when suddenly, Myeongyun staggered over to her.
“Silver ball!”
Mingyun bit his lip and said.
“At least tell me your name. I will surely repay your favor in this sect in the future!”
He looked into Mingyun’s blazing eyes.
Gone was the playful, booze-loving Han Liang, and in his place were the eyes of a man seeking power.
“Stop drinking.”
“What?”
Myungwoon’s eyes widen in confusion,
“…….”
Before I knew it, the masked figure standing in front of me was completely gone.
“Stop drinking…….”
Ming Yun muttered, and Hong Zhenkun, who was beside him, spoke up.
“Is…… the manifestation of Taisajo, the mighty spirit who is said to have become a god and disappeared?”
A spirit that has mysteriously vanished, leaving behind neither a covenant nor a kung fu class.
He was said to be missing in Murim, but the Hyungsan Sect believed that he had suddenly ascended to the Zen path and become a god.
“That can’t be right.”
Hearing that, Jade Qi Heng said with a dejected expression.
“The Silver Duke’s swordsmanship is more of the martial arts variety, so how can he be called a spirit tiger?”
“Was it?”
Hong Zhenqian scratched his head, and Mingyun shook his head.
“The swordplay changed based on the enemy’s behavior.”
“What?”
“He’s even using the Sword Polarization Technique. If he’s that old to be using such a technique, he must be a renowned young master of the Mado, and he can’t possibly be helping the…… main sect.”
Mingyun said.
“I really don’t know. Which side of the fence you’re on.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Jade Mistress said in a powerful voice.
“Since you saved the lives of our disciples, we must repay your favor, regardless of the circumstances. And to do that, …… we must be strong!”
The disciples all nodded in agreement.
The loss of the Martial Art has left him in despair.
But this has given me back the fight and desire that I had lost.
The sleeping dragons of the Hyungsan clan have risen to relive their past glory once again.
* * *
Light and darkness. The years were like flowing water.
It had been six months since Bu Eun-sul had entered the Gusal District.
In the meantime, he’s been working nonstop.
Assassination, reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, or theft of treasure or property, backstabbing of targets, extermination of hostile factions, or partial destruction of facilities…….
It’s not just one mission, it’s all the missions that come in.
To be strong.
It wasn’t necessarily about taking up arms against the enemy.
Being able to analyze situations, react to contingencies, and draw from a variety of experiences to reach conclusions faster than others.
I realized that’s true strength.
-What the heck is going on in the badlands?
After a series of difficult missions that hadn’t been solved until now, the leaders of the Mazen began to take notice.
-Eighteen. He was in charge of all the affairs of the Yueyang branch.
The eighteenth issue of the Eighteenth.
Typically, crews only handle tasks that are their specialty.
But no matter what the task, he was up for it, and he did it faster than anyone else, and he never left a trace.
-Interesting.
Eventually, the warlords expressed interest and excitement about the eighteenth issue.
And that put her in an unexpected situation.
Inside the Hoehyeon Bookstore, a secret room.
Bu Eunsun looked at Shangliang and Maun with a furrowed brow.
He did so because Shangliang was saying the wrong thing.
“Escort?”
It’s a goofball that does all sorts of impossible things. But there’s no escort mission in it.
“Yes.”
“I’ll decline.”
Bu Eunseol, who had been standing silently with her arms crossed, turned coldly.
After six months of being battered by the winds of Kang Ho, Bu Eun-sul’s tone had become as cold and hard as any other old tiger.
“I’m here as a member of the firing squad.”
“Wait, wait, wait, listen to me for a second.”
Sangliang’s words and actions were very cautious.
He was right, but now it’s become a situation where without Buunseol, Akyangjibu doesn’t work at all.
The reason for this is that you’ve done such a good job that you’ve gotten the attention of the warlord, and you’ve gotten a bunch of nasty missions that no other crew would touch.
“This is a direct assignment from the top.”
For a moment, the swollen snow reflected in the oil lamps flashed.
“So this is the armor?”
“Hmm…… isn’t an angle bracket, but it’s close.”
Scratching his head, Shangliang sighed.
“It’s just that it’s not stamped with the command ‘armor’.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“A mission neither you nor I can refuse. We’re not down here on a death squad mission, Ma’am, this is an order from the main branch.”
At Shangliang’s words, Maun held out the scroll he was carrying to Bu Eunseol.
“…….”
Bu Eunseol’s brows narrowed again as she looked at Seochul.
It was simple.
Proceed to the contact point where your escort is and follow their orders. The mission ends the moment the escort leaves the Yakyang.
In short, it’s about staying by your side while your escort is in a bad place.
“Who’s escorting me?”
Moun shook his head at Buunsul’s question.
“I don’t know. All I know is that the escort is on a cruise ship in Yuyang…….”
“You must be quite retarded.
In other words, he’s been asked by the higher-ups to escort someone who just came to play.
In other words, the escort was either a big name in the city, or someone with ties to the head of the city.
“It’s a branch mission…….”
When Bu Eun-sul gave him a disgruntled look, Maun said.
“But the reward is just as good: 10,000 yen a day……. per day.”
Only one per day.
If it takes 10 days, you’ll have 100,000 yen. Even if you retire now, you could live in luxury for the rest of your life.
“I’ll just take another assignment.”
“You’re turning down ten grand a day?”
“I don’t need your money.”
“This is an assignment from the top?”
“What do you know?”
Sangliang and Maun’s eyes widened in horror at Bu Eunseol’s blunt reply.
-That lunatic refuses to obey orders from his superiors!
