Seol-Hwi felt a sharp pain, as the bones in his face rearranged themselves after reversing his technique.
He soon returned to his own appearance, and took out the mask of Sang Cheon-jang from his sleeves.
And only after he put on the mask, did he breathe a sigh of relief.
“Phew…”
The situation was more dangerous than he expected. Kwang Sewong even managed to get past his defense.
If there was any other mistake, the enemy’s sword might have managed to pierce his abdon.
“And that sudden increase in combat power…”
It was wholly unexpected.
Combat power rising in the middle of a fight? Previously, there was a < > mark, so he went into battle considering it, but this ti, even such a mark didn’t appear.
“Is it because of the level of their martial arts?”
Co to think of it, that’s a possibility.
They used so of the most deadly techniques in the Plum Blossom swordsmanship.
Unlike Seol-Hwi, who trained himself with a martial art just once, his opponents trained for years and understood it deeply.
So the comprehension they had was different from Seol-Hwi’s.
There may be more I don’t know yet.
Seol-Hwi realized things because of this battle. Information and talent take ti to learn.
How much more was hidden from him currently…he wasn’t sure. It’s a situation where one doesn’t know how far his growth is, and how much this would impact his life.
“Don’t get eaten by the system.”
Seol-Hwi suddenly rembered what the AI Seol-Hwi had told him.
A warning.
In other words, it ans that he shouldn’t just accept what was shown to him as enough.
“Anyway, the goal now is…”
Seol-Hwi turned his thoughts to his next course of action: Lee Gu-myung.
He had to be killed.
Then what about Sang Cheon-jang?
He didn’t have to do anything further. The traces of the Demonic Sect were left here.
The Blue Dragon Sect leader, once he sees the bodies of his subordinates, will get rid of Sang Cheon-jang.
A quiet place.
There, two n were talking.
One side had a serious expression, and the other had an uncomfortable one.
“I would have preferred to avoid such kinds of etings.”
The voice was quite harsh.
Lee Gu-myung.
As the third disciple of Goo Jong-myung, he was the one who ca to this place in a hurry at the sudden call from Sang Cheon-jang.
But…
“I’m sorry I called you like this, but there is sothing I need to check.”
Lee Gu-myung thought he was called because of an important matter, but it was just a personal reason?
Seeing Lee Gu-myung’s face, nevertheless, Sang Cheon-jang continued talking in a serious tone.
“All my n are dead.”
“And?”
“And we checked the cause of their deaths. Certain sword marks could be seen on their bodies.”
“What marks?”
“From the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.”
“…!”
This ti, Lee Gu-myung’s eyes widened. They showed that he was shocked at the sudden news.
Now he realized why he was called here. The swordsmanship of his sect was the reason for the deaths of Sang Cheon-jang’s n. Even soone from the Blue Dragon Sect could have done it.
However, he didn’t understand one thing.
“Was there such a master? Aside from their sect leader, there are no shockingly strong warriors…”
“That’s why I’m asking you. There’s no one who knows the Plum Blossom Sword Technique as well as you do.”
Lee Gu-myung stared at him. And after a mont’s silence, he smirked, stroking his chin.
“Kekekek!”
“…?”
Sang Cheon-jang frowned at the laughing man, who just as abruptly stopped.
Lee Gu-myung had a sardonic smile on his face.
“So, you’re suspecting ?”
He grinned broadly, showing the whites of his teeth.
The previously soft eyes were now hard.
“No! Don’t get wrong, I only called you here to see if you knew anything!”
Sang Cheon-jang shook his head, but there was still wariness in Lee Gu-myung’s eyes.
However, he soon returned to his old self and nodded.
“Well, since you lost all your subordinates, you might think so.”
“…”
“But, this is sothing I have no relation with. I haven’t been out lately, and my sahyungs haven’t been too active around either…”
“I see.”
“Right. And when sothing like this happens, shouldn’t you ask the Lower District? They’re the experts at sniffing such things out.”
“True. However, those who use the Plum Blossom Sword Technique might be more familiar to you.”
“I know them well. I’m one of them.”
“Lee Gu-myung. I…”
“Sang Cheon-jang.”
Lee Gu-myung slowly stood up from his seat, and looked at the man with narrowed eyes.
“I will give you a piece of advice. If there is a problem, you are soone who can handle it yourself, right? Don’t tell to co and go out when I am resting.”
“That…”
“And.”
He said, patting Sang Cheon-jang’s head.
“You know this, don’t you? You don’t even have the right to call for .”
Sang Cheon-jang’s face stiffened.
“Anything you do needs to be done moderately. If you cross a fine line, you too can turn out like your subordinates.”
“…”
Sang Cheon-jang didn’t answer.
He just bit his lip.
Lee Gu-myung lightly tapped his forehead, and then turned around.
Sang Cheon-jang’s sharp gaze was directed at him, but he couldn’t even speak out or protest Lee Gu-myung’s actions. Be it martial arts, position, or politics. He had nothing to fight with against this man.
“Cheeky…”
Lee Gu-myung, who ca out of that secret room, spoke in an annoyed tone.
After eting with him a few tis for business affairs, today he even called him for his own reasons.
“This is why we can’t work together. I guess I should discuss this with my master.”
He had lost the desire to work with Sang Cheon-jang. If the guy he works with is so insignificant, what can he even do?
If his subordinates got defeated by the Blue Dragon Sect’s warriors, how weak were they?
“… in other words, I need to stick with a stronger guy.”
In front of Lee Gu-myung, a strange sight suddenly appeared.
Next to the road he was walking, a man with a bamboo hat leaned against the wall.
“… you, who are you?”
Normally, he would have missed it. But today, he couldn’t let it slide.
And the sword which the man was holding stimulated his senses.
“Who are you?”
A second warning.
The man straightened himself, and then opened his mouth, while gently lifting up his hat.
“Lee Gu-myung, the disciple of Goo Jong-myung. I don’t know how old you are… but you go hand in hand with Sang Cheon-jang.”
“…!”
“If anyone cos from the Demonic Sect, there’s a promise to work with Sang Cheon-jang to get rid of them. And the price is to take over the Blue Dragon Sect.”
At these words, Lee Gu-myung’s expression strangely brightened.
“Sothing is weird with my luck today. I keep getting caught up with flies.”
He picked his ear with his index finger, and then grinned.
In the blink of an eye, like lightning, he sprinted and stabbed his sword at the man in the bamboo hat.
Ching!
The man in the bamboo hat managed to block, but Lee Gu-myung smiled like he expected it.
“It’s you.”
“…?”
“The one who killed Sang Cheon-jang’s subordinates.”
The man in the bamboo hat didn’t answer, and that alone was good enough.
Ching!
Lee Gu-myung began his sword technique. If the way he narrowed the distance between him and his opponent was surprising, the swordsmanship he was using now was also surprising.
The sword’s speed was so fast that it felt like flickering light.
But…
He stopped this?
The opponent defended against it perfectly. And then, the distance between the two widened.
“That’s right.”
The man threw away his hat.
“It was .”
Body: Normal Health: 4.4 million Internal energy: 4.5 million Combat power: 12 million
Le Gu-myung’s information window and info about his combat power.
Combat power…
Seol-Hwi thought of sothing. The mont he returns to the sect after his warrior training, a bigger problem will co.
In the anti, he has to increase his combat power.
At the very least, if he could figure out how to grow it, it would be of great help.
