Shaolin (4)
After the first day, the raids continued.
If it hadn't been for Hye-kwan, Mu Kyung and the woman might have been killed in an attack right away.
And on the fourth day·
When I crossed Anhui Province and arrived near Tianzhong Mountain in Henan Province.
He furrowed his brow as if he hadn't expected it.
"You must have noticed that we are Shaolin disciples..."
Before his words could fall, the black-robed men appeared in all directions.
So far, two or three· Unlike at most five people who attacked. It looked like fifty, if not fifty.
It meant that they knew from the beginning that their destination was Songshan, and they had gathered on the road.
The raid had been nothing more than an attempt to buy time for the Killers to gather here.
“··· Were you Shaolin?"
The woman who had been with me all the way to this place but had not known the fact and was carried on the back of the police officer asked.
But now I wasn't in a position to answer all of those questions.
"Mukyung-ah· Pursue her and keep watch over her. I'm going to clear the way..."
"Yes· Sajo-sama·"
After hearing Mu Kyung's answer, Hye Guan turned his head and looked straight ahead.
"Phew· You seem to have chosen the wrong day."
He had been brought to Murim this time to tell Sason the end of the murderous man.
I never thought things would go this way.
But Hye-kwan wasn't worried about the dozens of killers who stood in the way.
"You've accumulated too much karma in a short period of time."
Sason's eyes were dyed a pale red.
Maybe it's because I haven't slept well in the past few days because of the constant attacks by the killers.
She felt that it might be the result of four days of continuous accumulation.
"We must clear the way as fast as we can before he reaches his limit!"
After making up his mind, Hye-kwan wasted no time in unfolding the regiment and burrowing into the middle of the slaughter.
Because it was a regimental item that had reached the level of Yi Hyung-hwan, Salsu couldn't even react, and his abdomen was pierced by Hye-kwan's one-handedness.
But·
"Kruk..."
The beast-like sound of a pierced belly was holding onto Hye-kwan's right arm as it pierced his stomach.
Swish!
And without a doubt, another squirrel who had been hiding in the shadow of the killer swung a sword at Hye-kwan.
As if they didn't care if their allies died or not, the killers around them threw out memorization one after another.
"Hmph... How dare you start such a dog fight with the main monk..."
Hye-kwan sneered and stretched out his left hand at the killer who screamed at his heart, unleashing a golden sword.
Snap Stone ·
Then, grabbing Sodo's wrist at the same time as striking him away, Hyekwan spun his body rapidly, holding a pierced stomach in his right hand and a spraying sword with Sodo in his left.
Puff!
As a result, dozens of memorization that had been flying towards Hye-kwan slammed into the back of the two beasts.
Hye-kwan threw the corpses of the two killers who had been killed on the spot to his comrades, and at the same time, he used the corpses as a shield to dig into the other killers.
* * *
While Hye-kwan is in the middle of a scuffle with the killers in the front.
Wedge love!
Contrary to Hye-kwan's wishes, Mu-kyung also began to fight the killers.
The killers have been quite wise in attacking Muqing.
Instead of daring to approach Mu Qing, he used his memorization skills from a distance to target the woman on his back.
He knew that his opponent was trying to protect a woman who had not learned martial arts.
Visor!
And when Mu Qing hurriedly moved to protect the woman, he didn't miss the moment and flew towards Mu Qing.
The killers tried to drive him away like that.
They had one misunderstanding.
Weeeeeeeing·
The fact that it is not possible to attack from a distance against the martial arts.
Droplets of golden water created by the martial arts began to spread in all directions and attack the killers.
Visor!
Some of the water was obstructed by the dagger of the water or the sword.
Whoops!
There was no sprinkler here that could completely block all the dozens of water droplets.
But they didn't care if their comrades were dying around them.
They threw the memorization at Mu Qing and the woman, whether or not the golden water droplets flew at him, and when Mu Qing began to unleash the Golden Rain Divine Ball, they even sneaked up on him.
In order to protect the woman and at the same time intercept the killers with the Golden Rain Divine Ball, Mu Qing had to frantically use the internal attack and fly his body.
By the time he had succeeded in killing more than ten killers while protecting the woman.
Before I knew it, his eyes were getting even redder than before.
"Let's go!!"
Then· Hyekwan's voice as he stepped forward to break through the front awakened his psychic spirit, if only for a moment.
Hye-kwan managed to clear the way through dozens of watersheds.
Mu Kyung dodged the memorization of the killers who were chasing after him, and ran along the path that Hye Guan had cleared.
But·
It wasn't long before new shooters from the front began to swoop in from the ground or in the shadows of the land.
“··· It looks like you've prepared it very well."
After muttering, Hye-kwan moved to clear the path again.
Naturally, Mu Qing also had no choice but to resume the battle with the killers who had pursued him.
While flying around to protect the woman and intercepting the killers with the Golden Rain Divine Ball.
In a trance, he instinctively realized that he had reached his limit.
More than anything else, the power outage was about to empty out.
The Blood Cow Demon Ball, which can be said to be the main body of the Golden Rain Divine Technique, produces dozens of drops of Qi crystals and is a martial art that is controlled, so it causes a considerable amount of internal attack consumption.
In order to overcome the shortcomings of such a blood demon ball, it was the Heavenly Blood Suction Method.
Of course, if I had been a normal martial sutra, I wouldn't have thought of the Heavenly Blood Absorption Dafa. Nope· Even if I had thought about it, I wouldn't have dared to use it.
But·
"What are you doing?"
The woman on his back muttered in surprise.
She had closed her eyes in fear of the barrels of daggers flying from all directions, but she woke up with a strange feeling.
And what she saw was the sight of Mu Qing sticking his teeth into the nape of the black man's neck.
Of course, if he wanted to kill an enemy while his limbs were in motion, he would be able to strike with his teeth.
But the problem isn't just that he cut his throat with his teeth.
The black man's throat was in constant motion.
Even the eyes of the martial arts officer who was sucking the blood of the black man were a bright red color.
Just like the man who kidnapped and tried to kill him a few days ago.
Her panicked and startled cries also reached the ears of Hye-kwan, who was killing the killers in front of her.
“!!!”
The stunned Hye-kwan swung the body of the killer he had just killed and used it as a shield. I just flew my body and approached the martial police.
"He's my son-in-law, but his talent is ridiculous."
While Wu Qing was sucking blood from the throat of the killer who had already died, he was still unleashing his golden sword and intercepting the killers around him.
Nope· It was no longer possible to call it the Golden Cow God. Before I knew it, the raindrops that he was dealing with were starting to turn blood-red instead of gold.
"So don't be devoured by that great talent. Sason!'
Maybe it's because there's still a minimum of reason left.
While Wu Qing was simultaneously practicing the Heavenly Blood Absorption Dafa and the Blood Friendship Demon Technique, he didn't attack the woman on his back or the Hye Guan who was approaching him.
And Hye-kwan, who saw this as an opportunity now that Moo-kyung was maintaining her last sanity, approached Moo-kyung and...
Puck!
I slammed the back of the blood-sucking police officer on the back of the neck and knocked him out.
Plop·
Looking at Mu-kyung on the floor and the woman on his back, Hye-kwan handed her the bottle of liquor he was wearing at his side.
"If you can't stand it in your right mind, why don't you have a drink of it?"
Seeing the two of them, Hyekwan glanced around.
In the meantime, he and Mu Qing had killed quite a few killers, so the number of killers left was not very large.
About twenty or so
However, Hye-kwan had also consumed a lot of internal forces in the last battle.
He even had to fight with a woman who didn't know anything about martial arts anymore, and to protect the stunned Sason.
"It's going to be a pretty tiring day."
Even with that thought in mind, Hyekwan said something completely different.
"No matter what, the two of you will be able to make it back alive..."
Slaying evil in order to save sentient beings·
That was the reason why Hye-kwan, who was a Buddhist, joined the Annihilation Corps.
* * *
"Black black..."
How much time has passed?
"Ugh..."
The sound of the woman's sobbing next to him awakened his spirit.
'Yuck...'
The fishy smell wafting from his mouth and throat made him feel nauseated, and he could remember what had happened.
That he had turned his eyes and was about to drink the blood of the killer.
"Sajo!?"
And Hye-kwan knocked herself out in order to stop herself.
He hurriedly stood up, and what he saw was dozens of corpses lying on the floor.
And it was the image of a woman sobbing, her whole body stained with blood.
But the blood on her body wasn't hers.
"It's okay..."
Beneath the Weeping Woman· Hye-kwan, who was bleeding all over his body, was lying on the ground.
The blood that soaked her clothes was Hyekwan's blood that had been wrapped around her wounds.
"Sajo!!"
Surprised, Mu Kyung exclaimed and approached Hye-kwan, who was lying on his back, frowning and saying,
"Stand up . . . Did you get it? Ugly... Sason-ah"
"Sajo! I'll carry you to town! Hurry up and tell Congressman!"
Mu Qing shouted in gibberish, and Hye Guan managed to move his trembling arm and touch Mu Kyung.
"It's noisy. Hey guy... Goal... I'm shaking..."
"I'm going to bring a councillor with me. Sajo-sama·"
"Hmph... It's been, man..."
Hyekwan knew. He knew that he had already crossed the river of no return.
It was because he had even used his innate keeper to deal with the remaining killers in the midst of his exhaustion.
It was ridiculous, too.
I had been in a daze before I was about to die, but when I saw the face of Sason, who kept worrying about me, I came back to my senses.
Realizing that this was a symptom of graying disorder, Hye Guan didn't want to waste time unnecessarily.
"Ugly Sason . . . Listen carefully."
There was one last thing he had to say to his ugly son.
It wasn't until he was about to die that he realized what he had been brought up to the point of birth.
"Mukyunga . . . . Always be on your guard."
"It will be so. Sajo-sama· So come on..."
It was so obvious that Mu Kyung interrupted Hye Kwan and tried to drag him away by force.
However, Hye-kwan's words that followed were unexpected.
"And . . . Don't hate yourself."
“····”
"You . . . There is no wrong. All human beings are like that. Everyone lives with desires. Just put up with it . . . It's just the difference between not being able to endure and accumulating sinful karma. Hmph· Therefore, the Buddha . . . It teaches you to forsake lust and lust."
That's what Hye-kwan realized at the last moment.
It was ridiculous.
While fighting for his life, the first thought that came to mind was the Sason.
Maybe it was because he was fighting to protect his son.
"So . . . Be vigilant to yourself, but forgive yourself. No matter how cruel your desires are... As long as you try to put up with it, you are a Buddhist."
“··· Sajo is also a Buddhist..."
"Yeki· Hey guy..."
After saying that, Hye-kwan let out a cough that was mixed with blood.
He said in a voice like phlegm.
"Hmm... I'm tired of it. I'm tired of drinking in this world, so I'm going to have a drink with you in hell."
Is the Grey Light Banjo coming to an end? Hyekwan's eyes blurred as he added.
"It's a pity . . . Guna· I want to have a glass of wine with the four hundred people . . . You won't be in hell."
“··· Now that the Wise Swan has broken out of the cycle of reincarnation, he will come to hell to meet you."
"Uhhhh Is this so? You're a smart son, after all..."
With that, Hyekwan's cloudy eyes closed.
And it never happened that his eyes were opened again.
“····”
Mu Kyung lay on the floor with a stunned face, staring at Hye Kwan who had been laid to rest.
"Ugh..."
And as if to substitute for martial arts. The woman who Hye-kwan had protected was making a series of noises.
She cried in agony and turned her head when she heard someone move next to her.
Mu Kyung, who had been sitting there in a daze and staring at Hye Guan, moved his body slightly.
He tore off his clothes and said, The blood that had not yet hardened from Hye-kwan's body was smeared on his fingers.
She was anxious· I wonder if the young man the monk saved with his life is again greedy for blood like he was a moment ago.
But that was just a slant.
The young man moved his blood-stained fingers and wrote the words on the cloth he had torn apart.
And the martial arts officer who had written all four letters wrapped the cloth around his head like a bandana.
Naturally, four red letters on his hood were revealed on his forehead.
It was Hye-kwan's nickname and his own determination to carry on his legacy.
Even when confronting the demons who live in the world...
Even when you are fighting against the demon that lives in your own mind...
I will never back down.
