Shaolin (3)

 

After dealing with the spray that rushed at him, Mu Kyung turned his gaze to look at Hye Guan.

Beside her, there were two corpses of a man in black who had already lost his life and had fallen, but there were still three more killers attacking Hye-kwan.

Mu Qing wasted no time in unfurling the Golden Beast Divine Ball, hid himself and shot a golden orb at the killer who was about to throw a dagger at Hye Guan.

Boom!

Even as it was pierced by the golden orb, the beast did not let out any groans.

However, thanks to Mukyung's killing of him, Hyekwan's movements were able to relax a little.

Puck!

It was Hye-kwan who opened the golden sword and succeeded in piercing the abdomen of the nearby killer in an instant.

"I'll take care of the rest!"

"Onya!"

Afraid to hear Mu Qing's cry, Hye Guan ignored the last shot and rushed towards the martial spirit demon fighting.

* * *

A man called a spiritless blood demon by Hye-kwan·

He was originally a Salmak slaughterer.

Subjected to severe torture and training from an early age, he was emasculated of all his emotions and desires and grew up to be a killer who carried out his duties as instructed by Salmak.

Only one thing·

Only the murder remained.

Luckily for him, however, his profession was as a waterdresser. He could simply follow instructions and kill people to satisfy his desires.

So it wasn't hard to hide the lingering desires.

Five years passed, ten years passed.

Hundreds of assignments without a single failure led him to the position of branch president.

He even had the honor of visiting the head mountain of Salmak and meeting the lord of the salmak in a shadow.

Since Salmak was run by a point organization, it was impossible to know the location of the general headquarters unless he was at the level of a branch president in charge of each region.

Problems, however, arose after he became branch president.

The branch president, who is in charge of each region, did not personally carry out the killings.

After enduring it for months, he finally reached his limit and decided to turn a mission to himself and kill himself.

And then everything went awry.

After a few months of rest, the skill remained the same, and the assassination was very easily successful. The problem was after that.

Because all his desires were castrated, he concentrated all his desires on murder.

The desires that had been built up over months could not be quenched by a single murder.

He lost his temper and was on his way back from a mission. He kidnapped a young woman and mutilated her whole body, enjoying her screams.

This was the reason why he mainly hunted women and children.

It was the screams of a woman or a child who had not yet reached the age of metamorphosis that aroused him more than the thick voice of an older man.

After quenching his desires, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

Therefore, the Spiritless Demon dared to escape.

As he had risen to the position of branch leader based on his skills alone, his ingenious light attack and stealth skills were not easy to chase down, no matter how fleshy he was.

After all, the problem was his murder.

He hid himself every time, and when his patience ran out, he kidnapped a woman or a child and slaughtered her.

In order to avoid being tracked, they moved to another area and again carried out a killing spree there.

He had survived for more than two years.

'It's because of him!' It's all because of the author!!'

It wasn't even flesh, it was caught by a mysterious man.

The Four Killers Who Attacked Me·

After narrowly killing two of them, the Demon looked at the man who was charging at him.

If it hadn't been for that man, I'd have been able to enjoy the screams of my prey at my leisure. There would have been a way out of here.

But now...

Visor!

He had to strike out the subordinate killer beast and at the same time stop the in-house regime from penetrating him.

"Uhhhhhh

Even the man had a grander inner air than he had, and he felt his stomach ache every time he exchanged pleasantries.

It wasn't hard for him to realize that it was impossible for him to survive at this rate.

So he came up with an idea.

It wasn't a way out of the situation.

Instead, it was a way to give hell to the man who had ruined all his fun.

"Die!"

The moment the man's fist flew towards his abdomen.

Instead of blocking it, the Demon of Zero Blood spat out a testament-like word in a phlegm-filled voice.

"Uhhhh The main mountain of Salmak is hidden in Guizhou Province's Guiling Mountain."

Puck!

As soon as he spoke, Hyekwan's fist pierced his abdomen.

However, even though he was seriously injured that would soon kill him, there was a smile in his eyes that he was going to die of joy.

“··· Damn..."

And after successfully killing the Demon of Zero Blood, Hye-kwan's face was distorted without mercy.

* * *

Hye-kwan wasted no time in launching an attack on the surviving killers.

"Sason! Don't miss a beat!"

At the same time, he gave such instructions to the martial police to prevent the last one from escaping.

Each of them was in charge of a spray, so the two of them were able to deal with the remaining two without difficulty.

But why?

Even though he had killed all the Demon Demon and Killers, Hye Kwan's face didn't look at ease at all.

"We need to get out of here right now."

"Yes? Is there anything wrong?"

Instead of answering Mukyung's question, Hyekwan walked towards the woman, who was completely mesmerized.

Fifteen people had died in front of him, and it seemed difficult for him to come to his senses.

Sadly, I wasn't in a position to care for her now.

"Nanja· I think you should come with us from now on..."

“··· What do you mean by that?"

She asked, trembling with fear, wondering if she was being kidnapped again.

"Didn't you hear me a moment ago? The last thing the author said..."

"You mean what Sasalmak said?"

"Yes... Now that you've heard that, your life is in danger."

“???”

He still didn't seem to understand.

The situation was not easy right now, but his son-in-law, Mu Qing, also had a face that didn't grasp the situation.

So Hyekwan briefly explained the situation to the two of them.

"Salmak is one of the most famous killers in the river. But their home base is unknown until now. Now that the three of us know where they are, we can't afford to let them go, do we?"

“!!!”

"I don't know anything. I was just dragged over there!"

She exclaimed in frustration.

"I know... But ... They won't care about that."

“····”

She was momentarily speechless, thought for a moment, and then exclaimed, as if something had come to mind.

"But they're all dead... Don't you know I know?"

"Maybe... But they're not going to kill you. Maybe we could have watched the situation from afar instead of fighting, just in case."

After explaining so far, Hyekwan said as if he couldn't delay any longer.

"I know it's frustrating... But I have to decide. Rely on luck and stay in the village and pray that the killers won't come to you. Either you leave with us. We don't have time anymore!"

She seemed to be troubled by Hyekwan's urging for a moment, and then she opened her mouth.

“··· I've been sold to Giru because of my parents' debts. If I disappear, they will chase me from Giru."

He meant that Hye-kwan and Moo-kyung might be harmed because of him, but Hye-kwan's lips smiled.

"Nanja· I don't even know if it's Salmak, but I don't even have to worry about the municipal thugs who work in the Gilu in Uiwang County..."

After a moment of contemplation at Hye-gal's confident answer, she wiped away her tears.

"Then can you take me with you?"

Before she could say anything, Hye-kwan gave instructions to Mu-kyung.

"Carry her on your back."

"Yes· Sir!"

The three of them left the mountain and began to move north.

Towards Songshan, where Shaolin is located·

* * *

They started running when the sun was rising, and even after the sun was in the middle of the sky, they continued to move in the sky.

I've already passed one village and am on my way to another village. The martial arts officer who was about to fall open his mouth.

"Sajo· At this point, you don't even know Salmak, do you?"

Mukyung wondered if Hyekwan had overreacted. So far, nothing has happened, and they are now traveling on the canopy in broad daylight.

It was a peaceful atmosphere.

"I'm going to take a break soon..."

But before he could finish speaking...

"Suck it!"

Suddenly, Hye-kwan flung his arm into the air, and a series of metal chimes echoed through his hands.

“!!!”

The peddlers who walked peacefully in front of them.

The moment they outrun them with light air. It was a surprise memorization by them.

"Hmph... Sason· Don't underestimate the flesh too much."

As if he had expected it, Hye-kwan, who had prevented the ambush, said with a fishy smile.

Afterwards, Hye-kwan and Mu-kyung dealt with the three of them who had disguised themselves as assistants, and then quickly played with their feet again.

"Let's take a break here..."

Hye-kwan, who arrived at the new village, said· It was because he knew that the temple was almost empty.

Hyekwan picked out one of the inns and entered.

After a while· When the ordered food was served, the lady and the lady, who had not eaten since mid-morning, reached for the food.

"Wait..."

Hyekwan stopped them and pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into the food and drink.

"Hmph... After all..."

The tip of the silver needle inserted by Hye-kwan was dyed black. It meant that it contained poison.

"Could it be that Fortune Spike a while ago?"

"I don't think so... How could you know that we were going to come to this inn exactly and dressed up as a jumsoi?"

After answering, Hyekwan stood up and headed for the kitchen.

Mu Kyung, the woman, and Ju Soi followed him in surprise, and to their surprise, there was a middle-aged man who appeared to be a master lying in the corner of the kitchen.

"Don't worry. I don't think he's dead..."

Hye-kwan, who had calmed down Jumsoi, who had followed him, breathed energy into Sooksoo's blood canal as he fell to the ground, and Sooksoo immediately woke up with a blink.

"What the hell is this?!"

"Our killer has stunned you and poisoned your food."

“!!!”

Before Hyekwan could finish his explanation, Sooksoo was stunned, and he knelt down and began to perform the stone sin of stone.

"Buy it, save me! I really don't know!"

"Don't worry, I know. Since you are hungrier than that, will you give me food again?"

Before Hyekwan could finish speaking, Sooksoo shivered and started cooking.

Mu Qing, who felt sorry for him, opened his mouth.

"Sajo· Wouldn't it be better to just go to another inn?"

"Tsk· Sason· If we go to another inn, won't the killer who stunned him play tricks in that inn again? If you're going to make a lot of people tired, you'd better just eat and sleep here."

Hyekwan replied, took out a golden jade from his bosom and held it out to Jumsoi, who was standing next to him with a nervous face.

"You must have been very surprised today, so share it with Sooksu. I'll pay for food and room separately."

"You don't have to do this. Adult·"

Seeing that Hye-kwan was a Murim person, Jumsoi trembled and refused, but Hye-kwan had no choice but to put the golden ruler in Jumsoi's hand.

During a scuffle with a jumsoi·

The shivering Sooksoo managed to finish the dish, and Hye-kwan, who had gone through the final check with a silver needle, took the dish himself and headed to the room that Jumsoi had given him.

"Sajo· How can you be so good at finding the killers, let alone the ones you saw during the day?"

At Sason's curious question, Hyekwan laughed.

"It is not about finding water. I'm just thinking about the worst-case scenario."

"Oh..."

"There is a proverb in the river that says to always keep the last move hidden, but the better way is to get into the habit of always thinking about the worst and contemplating life and death. No matter how skilled a master is, it is a strong player to go to the goal with a moment's carelessness. Do you understand, Sason?"

"Understood... Sajo-sama·"

As soon as he finished answering whether he was really hungry, Hye-kwan laughed at the sight of Mu-kyung scooping up the food, and poured a bottle of wine into his mouth.

However, unlike the appearance of pretending to drink alcohol, he was staring at Mu Kyung with his eyes.

'Tsk· I wasn't brought here for this purpose. I'd rather think it's a good thing."

It was to teach a lesson through the Immortal Blood.

It just so happened that this one trip to Wurim had taught me everything about the life of a strong tiger.

When Mu Kyung and the woman seemed to have finished eating, Hye Kwan, who was drinking, said,

"Please, go to sleep. Mu Qing said that you would go to bed about an hour earlier. Let's take a shift with me."

"Are you going to change your sleep and then go off again?"

"Yes..."

Before Hyekwan's answer could fall, Mukyung lay down on the bed and tried to sleep.

Hye-kwan, who was watching Sason snoring as if she was tired, turned to the woman who was lying on her back and tossing and turning.

"Nanja· If you can't sleep, would you like to have a drink?"

Following the kidnapping, there was another attack by the killers as he witnessed the murder.

Unless it was a Murim person, his frightened heart wouldn't allow him to sleep.

After thinking about it for a while, she finally got up and sat down across from him.

Hyekwan, who was looking at her as her body trembled, took a sip of her drink and said,

"I'm sorry. I've made you get caught up in something for nothing..."

He replied with a shudder.

"Oh no! If it hadn't been for your help, I would have died this morning. I'm the one . . . I'm going to protect something like that for no reason... If you had gone together, you would have gone sooner..."

"Hahaha· I'm thinking the opposite. You need not be sorry. Aren't we forced you to do this? And you're a great help."

"Yes? What can I do to help?"

At her question, Hye-kwan smiled at Mu-kyung as he had never seen before, and looked at Mu-kyung, who was asleep.

"It's hard to go crazy when you have someone behind your back."

Of course, she couldn't understand what Hyekwan meant.

So she asked something else.

"Aren't you tired?"

A much younger and more energetic young man had fallen away, and I wondered how hard it must be for that middle-aged man who looked to be over fifty years old.

Hyekwan replied to her question with a strange smile.

"It's all right, because you're used to it."

Then Hye-kwan opened a new bottle of liquor and poured it into her glass. He poured the bottle he was drinking into his mouth.

It was called the Anti-Demon Immortal and was a Hye-kwan who had slain countless evil people and demons.

Of course, there were countless people who wanted to kill him, so when he was on the hunt, he had to be on his toes and watch everything around him.

Just like I gave advice to Mu Kyung a while ago...

Therefore, Shaolin was the only place where she could rest comfortably, but funnily enough, Shaolin was not a very comfortable place for her.

Filled with Buddha statues in the image of the Buddha and people striving to become Buddhas, he was a foreign being.

Everyone understood and cared for the heavy karma that Hye-kwan carried, but even that consideration would make Hye-kwan's heart heavy.

So I was used to not being able to sleep. Staying up all night with alcohol is also a thing.

'Don't be like me...'

After a quick glance at Mu Kyung, Hye Guan tipped the bottle again.
