Kang Sogun Novel Chapter 81

The man with the blue jade pendant looked to be in his early twenties. The dignity flowing from his entire body was extraordinary.

The woman following behind still had the appearance of a young girl.

The waiter quickly moved the martial artists' food to a corner seat.

The martial artists who had given up their seats glanced at the n with the blue jade pendants and flocked to the corner seat.

The man with the blue jade pendant, seeing that scene, frowned. Then he first asked the martial artist.

"What happened?"

"Those gentlen have given up their seats."

At the martial artist's words, the man sighed lightly.

"What's wrong with a corner seat that you have troubled people? Don't do this from now on."

The man with the blue jade pendant approached the martial artists who had gone to the corner seat and then cupped his fists.

"My na is Namgung Wu of the Namgung family. I sincerely thank you, great warriors, for giving up your seats."

"Hahaha. So you were the second young master of the Namgung family. We gave up our seats because we were afraid you might turn back if the seat was uncomfortable. Please understand that we did so out of a desire to see the people of the Namgung family up close."

The middle-aged scholar responded on behalf of the martial artists. At his smooth words, Namgung Wu smiled.

"When I set out on this journey, my father told . He said that since the four seas are one family, I should show proper etiquette. It is indeed so. Since you have given your heart, I will not refuse."

Namgung Wu also showed proper etiquette.

'To be so humble even though he is a direct descendant of the Namgung family. It is natural that the Namgung family has gained a reputation in Gangnam.'

The martial artists were impressed.

Namgung Wu was the younger brother of the ten great masters, Namgung Ok.

Although he was overshadowed by Namgung Ok, who was called a prodigy of the world, Namgung Wu's reputation was also widely known among the rising stars.

Namgung Wu sat down with his younger sister, Namgung Ryeong. The twenty or so martial artists who had followed him had no seats and had to eat outside.

The martial artists of the Namgung family sat at key points outside the inn. It was as if they were defending the inn.

Just from this one thing, it could be seen what kind of place the Namgung family was.

Namgung Wu ordered food and looked around the inn. Most were rchants, and the only martial artists were the group with the middle-aged scholar.

The middle-aged scholar's group was six people, but there seed to be no one worthy of his attention.

"Why are you scowling so much?"

"There's nothing to eat."

Namgung Ryeong complained, looking at the food on the table. She was the precious daughter of the Namgung family. She had grown up without any lack since she was young.

"There's no fish dish either."

"When you co to a foreign land, you have to endure even if there is a lack."

Namgung Wu's gaze, who was soothing the complaining Namgung Ryeong, was fixed on a corner seat.

Namgung Ryeong followed his gaze and looked back.

A person who was quietly drinking by himself ca into her eyes. The thing that was wrapped in cloth and stood next to him seed to be a spear.

"What about that person? Do you know him?"

Namgung Ryeong whispered.

It was Namgung Ryeong's first ti on a journey through the martial world. This ti, she had followed Namgung Wu, who was representing the Namgung family to attend the state funeral.

Everything she saw was new. Above all, she was looking forward to sothing happening.

'Shouldn't I show my skills then? Then the martial world will also know that a female master has appeared from the Namgung family.'

As Namgung Ryeong asked with sparkling eyes, Namgung Wu realized his mistake and cleared his throat. It was clear that if his strange youngest sister were to cause an accident, it would beco a headache.

"Of course not. Since you were complaining about the food so much, I was just looking at what other people were eating."

The quick-witted Namgung Ryeong did not fall for it. She openly looked at Kang Sogun.

"That must be a spear, right? Was there a famous master with a spear? Ah, I heard that a master called the Blood Demon uses a spear these days."

As Namgung Ryeong chattered as she thought, Namgung Wu hurriedly cut her off.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you keep being noisy, I'll send you back ho."

"Hmph! Father allowed it, so what authority does my little older brother have to stop my journey through the martial world?"

Namgung Ryeong did not even pretend to listen. But she had succeeded in diverting his attention.

In fact, it was not that he had succeeded, but that Namgung Ryeong had lost interest. Namgung Ryeong, seeing Kang Sogun's attire, had guessed that he was from a prestigious family and had abandoned the thought that he might be the Blood Demon.

It was said that the Blood Demon wore clothes soaked in blood and ran wild. It was impossible to connect him with the calm Kang Sogun.

"Don't forget that my father gave

full authority."

Namgung Wu gave a stern warning.

Namgung Wu had considerable experience in the martial world. Although his older brother, Namgung Ok, was the young master, he was devoted to martial arts and was almost in seclusion.

In the end, Namgung Wu had to handle various family matters according to his father's order. So Namgung Wu was going to the emperor's state funeral.

'The martial world is in turmoil, but why did he send this troublemaker with ?'

Namgung Wu grumbled to himself. Although he knew that his father, Namgung Cheon, could not help it, he was very worried.

As he said, the martial world was in turmoil.

For a while, the situation in the martial world had flowed with the rivalry of the Four Great Powers of the world, but recently, the aspect had been changing.

The master of the Yocheon Pavilion had suddenly died, and half of the military power of the Heavenly Martial Faction had been blown away by the Blood Demon.

Moreover, a rumor that the Great Righteous Martial Hall and the Dragon Slaying Society had had a fight and had suffered mutual destruction was rampant.

As the Four Great Powers of the world, which had dominated each region, were shaken, the sects that had been holding their breath were raising their heads.

As a result, disputes were breaking out everywhere.

At Namgung Wu's stern warning, Namgung Ryeong pouted and just played with her chopsticks.

Just then, the inn door opened, and a person in black clothes entered. The man in black, who looked to be about thirty, had a red ssage slip in his hand.

The man in black looked around the restaurant and then carefully approached Kang Sogun. He stopped at a distance of ten feet and threw the ssage slip in his hand.

The man in black's behavior drew people's attention.

"That person?"

"Isn't he a person from the Heavenly Martial Faction?"

The martial artists whispered.

The man in black retreated a few steps backward and then quietly left the inn. It seed he was very afraid of Kang Sogun.

Kang Sogun looked at the ssage slip on the table.

The Heavenly Martial Faction had not been able to enter Nanjing, which could be said to be the base of the Great Righteous Martial Hall.

Instead, they had sent a person with good skills and had tracked Kang Sogun's whereabouts, but they had not been able to connect him with the young master of the Kang Residence and had been monitoring the outskirts of Nanjing.

As Kang Sogun had appeared in the martial world again, the Heavenly Martial Faction had been following him and at the sa ti had sent a ssage to their main sect and had called a master.

Kang Sogun looked at the ssage slip, picked up the spear that was leaning, and stood up.

"Isn't that what you send when you're going to have a life-or-death battle?"

"No wonder it was quiet, so he was being chased by the Heavenly Martial Faction."

As the martial artists were whispering, the middle-aged scholar stood up.

"Fallen Scholar, where are you going?"

"Should I miss such a good sight?"

"Don't get involved in unnecessary things and hasten your death, just receive a drink."

"You guys wait."

The Fallen Scholar left the inn. At the words "Fallen Scholar," Namgung Wu was surprised and looked at his back.

"Older brother, let's go too."

Namgung Ryeong was curious, hearing that masters were fighting.

"Didn't you hear what that person said? If you get involved in unnecessary things, you're likely to get into trouble."

"The person called the Fallen Scholar also went."

"That person is rumored to be very fast in his lightness skill."

"Was he also a master of the martial world?"

Namgung Ryeong's eyes flashed.

She had co from her prestigious family and had been riding in a carriage all along. No one had dared to provoke the carriage of the Namgung family, which was guarded by twenty people.

She had not even t the common bandits, but thinking that she could finally see masters fighting, she could not bear it.

Namgung Wu was also curious about Kang Sogun's identity.

'Could he be the Blood Demon?'

The fight between the Blood Demon and the Heavenly Martial Faction was shaking the martial world.

"If that's really the case, you have to watch quietly from a distance."

The Namgung siblings also stood up from their seats. As the two ca out, the martial artists approached.

Namgung Wu told the martial artists to stay at the inn and went out of the village with his younger sister alone.

Four people were standing at the dilapidated land god shrine outside the village.

Facing Kang Sogun, three people stood in a character-shaped formation, and one of them was the white-haired old man with a bamboo staff whom he had seen in Hefei.

The person in the middle was holding a sword with a black light, and the person next to him was holding a very thin saber.

'They are great masters.'

Namgung Wu stopped Namgung Ryeong, who was trying to get closer, and watched from a distance.

Kang Sogun untied the cloth, and a spear as red as blood ca out.

When Yeon Seongyeol had given it to him, it had been a white spear with a white shaft, but after going through nurous bloody battles, it was soaked in blood and gave off a grueso feeling.

As Kang Sogun held the spear, the figure of the man with the saber disappeared into the darkness. It seed he was a person with outstanding hiding skills.

Next, the man with the sword rushed forward like lightning and brought down his sword. The white-haired old man went behind Kang Sogun and blocked his escape route.

"They're fighting without even saying a word?"

Namgung Ryeong whispered.

"It's a life-or-death battle. Since one side will surely die, what's the point of talking?"

Namgung Wu answered in a low voice and looked around.

He saw the Fallen Scholar standing on a tree branch at a distance of ten feet.

-Swish!

The weapons did not clash with each other. But the fierce sound of cutting through the air was heard.

Since it was night and the distance was far, he could not tell what kind of technique they were using. Since their figures were so fast, he only knew that they were fighting.

At so point, the weapons clashed.

-Boom!

A trendous roar erupted as if lightning had struck the ground.

Namgung Wu was greatly surprised as the qi wave rushed to this place, which was thirty feet away.

'Their martial arts seem to be no less than my older brother's.'

Then he realized that Namgung Ryeong was not next to him and looked around in a startle.

Since the distance was too far to see properly, Namgung Ryeong had gone forward about ten feet.

Namgung Wu unfolded his lightness skill and went behind Namgung Ryeong.

-Are you mad? At this distance, they could reach you with one move.

As Namgung Wu sent a telepathic ssage and pulled Namgung Ryeong's sleeve, the sound of lightning striking erupted once more.

-Boom!

Next, a stifled groan was heard.

A person with one arm cut off was seen struggling. It was the white-haired old man. He had not just had his arm cut off. He could not go a few steps before his head fell.

"Hah!"

Namgung Ryeong took a breath at the grueso result.

The figures got entangled again.

"Kuh!"

A groan erupted, and this ti, the chest of the man with the saber was pierced by a spear. But Kang Sogun also suffered a loss. The black sword was stuck in his stomach.

-Boom!

Kang Sogun extended his palm and deflected the man with the black sword.

It seed as if a stream of blood was gushing from Kang Sogun's stomach.

The man with the saber rushed at Kang Sogun with the montum to die together. At that mont, the black sword soared into the air again and was shot towards Kang Sogun.

As Kang Sogun's spear shook up and down, the man with the saber was split in two. But in the anti, the black sword struck Kang Sogun's left shoulder again.

Kang Sogun's figure spun as it was and kicked the man with the black sword. The man with the black sword raised his left hand and blocked the attack.

-Boom!

As the forces clashed, a sound like lightning striking was heard.

"Kuh!"

A short scream erupted from the mouth of the man with the black sword. A dagger was embedded in the neck of the man with the black sword.

The dagger, with a blue jade embedded in it, was Kang Sogun's blue jade dagger.

Although the man with the black sword seed to be trying to say sothing, he could not say anything in the end and slowly fell backward.

Kang Sogun retrieved the blue jade dagger, packed his spear, wrapped it in cloth, and then disappeared into the darkness.
