Kite (3)

 

No matter how much he is wrapped in a heat keeper, it is a child's fist. For a minor lord who has reached a high level, the attack is really like a "child's play".

It didn't take any effort to stop it, it only took a little breathing.

The problem was that he was in the middle of dealing with the Shaolin Divine Dragon.

That slight breath had fatal consequences.

While moving the right hand to block the child's fist flying into the face. Mu Jin's fist, which had no doubt about the opportunity, flew towards the abdomen of the Little Heavenly Being.

Meanwhile, Xiao Tianju struck out the child's fist and at the same time moved his arm to block Mu Jin's fist.

Bang!!

“컥····”

Mu Jin's strength pushed Xiao Tianju away, coughing blood from his mouth.

As a result of the sudden movement of the inner air, a crack appeared again in the short line that had been sewn together.

Unable to withstand the shock, Xiao Tianju was not only white-faced, but also lost sight of the child he was holding with great care.

Blame!

And instead of rushing towards Xiao Tianju to finish him off, Mu Jin jumped up and snatched up the child that Xiao Tianzhu had thrown away as he flew away.

Mujin, who had succeeded in taking care of the child, rushed at him and tried to finish it off.

It wouldn't be easy to fight with a child, but judging by the white-faced state of the bastard, it looked like he could win the game.

But·

"Protect him!!"

Before Mu Jin rushed at Xiao Tianzhu, the Red Flame King, who was fighting with Mu Qing, shouted.

He had been internally wounded by Mujin and had fought with Muqing one after another, so he was the Red Flame King, with scars from Surado all over his body.

Spatula!

He was once again cut by Surado, but at the same time he gave the order and threw himself to protect the Lesser Heavenly Lord.

The demon cultists who were dealing with Shaolin and the shaman's disciples were puzzled by the attitude of the Red Flame King.

Why is it that their superior, the Red Flame King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Cult, calls a young man who looks like a Demon Cult "that one"?

Why is his superior, the Red Flame King, trying so hard to protect the young man?

Why did they help the young man kidnap the child?

Why do they have to protect that young man?

It was full of incomprehensible things, but they were willing to fly.

It was only natural that the Shangming Habok were familiar Demon Cult fanatics.

Spatula!

Ignoring the enemies who were fighting in front of them, many demons were cut by the sword of the shaman swordsman or attacked by the Shaolin monks.

Ignoring their injuries, they rushed towards Mujin.

"Get out of the way!!"

While the evil Mujin beats up some of the demons and kills them. The Red Flame King, who had forcibly ruled over the internal affairs, once again unleashed a storm on Mujin.

Bang!!

When I screamed at the front door and offset the explosion of the Soul Horse Field...

"Clear the way!!"

Shaolin and shaman's disciples also chased after the demons and brandished swords and swords.

As a result, Mu Jin passed through the Demon Cult that had been clinging to him like a leech, and tried to lunge at the man again.

"Kill me and go!!"

The Red Flame King, who was vomiting blood due to internal wounds, appeared out of nowhere and stood in Mujin's way.

It wasn't difficult to win against the Red Flame King, who had already suffered internal injuries.

“컥!”

The Red Flame King was really disgusting and hung down.

Puck!

By the time he had finally landed the last blow into the Red Flame King's abdomen...

It had already flung itself through the bushes and disappeared from Mujin's sight.

“컥·”

It wasn't long before the last Demon Cult was stabbed in the abdomen by the sword of the Shaman Swordsman.

Less than a dozen hours after the battle began, all the demons over thirty years old fell.

In the meantime, many of the Shaolin and Shaman's disciples were injured, let alone killed.

Even if the battle had gone normally, we would have won, but such a one-sided and overwhelming victory would not have been possible.

However, they all risked their lives to protect the man, and the battle was bound to turn one-sided.

All the demons had fallen, so Mu Jin was about to chase after the man.

But before Mu Jin could move, Mu Kyung and Mu Yul spoke first.

"Mujin!"

"I think someone's coming!"

"Uki!"

Considering that the signal flares had been fired at the beginning of the battle, it was hard not to know what forces were coming.

"Ugh..."

Meanwhile, a groan of pain came from the mouth of the child Mujin was holding.

'Damn it...'

Leaving his regrets behind, Mujin had no choice but to make a decision.

"We'll erase the trail and retreat!"

Fighting further to chase him down here could have put his life in danger.

Mujin, who decided to retreat, approached the Red Flame King lying on the ground.

"I'm glad I relaxed at the end."

During the fight with the Red Flame King, he saw the man running away, so Mu Jin had stunned the Red Flame King just in case.

It was a pity that he hadn't been able to interrogate the man himself, but seeing as the Red Flame King was trying so hard to protect him, it seemed that he had a lot of information.

* * *

Moving on with a trace of obscurity, they pulled away and stopped.

"Monk of the Outer Temple· My child's condition is getting worse and worse."

Mujin said, holding out the child in his arms to Hyunhyun.

Although Mujin's strength was better than that of Hyunhyun, Mujin had cultivated his skills mainly in external attacks, and above all, he had no experience of this kind.

Hyunhyun, who had been handed the child by Mujin, immediately began to pulse and frowned.

"The Keeper of the Heat Sheep has run rampant and his veins are completely twisted, so it wouldn't be strange if he melted at any time. I think I need to control the child's energy with a true prayer right now."

The child imitated the martial arts of the Little Heavenly Lord and unleashed a heat keeper once, but it was more of a struggle for survival.

Also, what the child did was just "imitation". The man's martial arts, which could be called divine gong, were not the kind of thing that a child could roughly imitate.

Instead of being spared instant death, the child's insides were like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

‘··· If I had forced myself to chase him, the child would have been in danger."

Mujin felt that he was glad that he had given up chasing the man.

When I caught him... If that child had become a corpse in his arms, the feeling would have been indescribably horrible.

Hyunhyun finished the pulse and put the child down on the floor and said,

"Assist the child so that he can sit on the patriarchal side."

"Yes· Monk of the Outer Temple·"

At his instruction, the Shaolin disciples around him caught the child who was about to have a seizure due to a fever, and Hyunhyun took off the child's jacket and put a bowel on his back.

"Phew..."

Perhaps because of the seriousness of the child's details, Hyunhyun continued with a serious expression on his forehead, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.

Some waited around it to help the apparition, while others waited in a circle, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings, just in case.

Mujin then watched the manifestation's true prayer for a moment before moving on.

"Where are you going?"

Mu Qing's question prompted Mu Jin to point to the Red Flame King on his shoulder.

"I thought I'd stop and wait, interrogate you..."

"Oh..."

After explaining, Mujin cautiously left his seat and moved to a secluded place.

And in the mouth of the Red Flame King, who had suppressed the blood sword, the elixir of the Sichuan Tang Family, which had been kept for emergencies. I forcibly shoved the psychic pill into it.

At first, he seemed to be defiant, but soon the Red Flame King's eyes dimmed.

Tuk·

Mu Jin picked up his blood sword again, unleashed the blood sword that had been suppressed, and opened his mouth.

"What's that guy?"

"He . . . Man?"

"The young guy you were trying to protect..."

"Cow . . . God is God."

"Little Heavenly?"

Mu Jin tilted his head at the other party's explanation and asked, and the Dark-eyed Red Flame King replied again.

"God . . . Your successor."

"Is God the head of your gods?"

"That's right..."

Through this question, Mujin realized that the hypothesis he had been inferring about was correct.

Even though he used the name of the organization, the highest rank Mujin knew was "Inju".

"Then, apart from the Lord and the Lord of God, who else has a position above the rank of Grand Master?"

"I don't know . . . Everything·"

“··· Are there any other people who have mastered the art of suction like Xiao Tianju?"

"I don't know..."

"Who is the successor of God besides the Little Heaven?"

"I don't know..."

Looking at the Red Flame King, who replied that he didn't know, Mu Jin raised his eyebrows.

'This bastard?'

I wanted to slap him in the face, but I stopped because I knew it was pointless.

He had been overpowered by the spirit ring, so he really didn't know.

So Mujin asked a little more specifically.

"Then how did you find out about the existence of the Little Heavens?"

It was only then that the Red Flame King gave a more specific answer to Mujin's question.

"The day before I left for Namman from the General Headquarters of the Demon Cult. The Great Lord introduced me to him."

"If you're a great lord, are you referring to the Demon Cult's Meditation Temple?"

"That's right..."

"What exactly did you tell me?"

"Since you are secretly participating in the atrocities, you should do your best to support them. Also, if by any chance the Lord of Heaven did something unexpected, if you could prevent it or prevent it, you should report it to the Great Lord at a later date."

Mu Jin, who had heard all the stories of the Red Flame King, who was slowly talking about the long and verbose story with a blank face, asked.

"So you didn't even know about the existence of the Little Heavenly Lord until you joined us this time?"

"That's right..."

After listening to all the answers from the man, Mujin began to organize his thoughts in his head.

"If he is the successor of the Divine Heaven, then perhaps he is also learning similar martial arts, right?"

In the martial arts world, it was only natural that the leader and the successor were learning the same martial arts.

It doesn't matter if it's Segan or Moonpa...

It's not a matter of the Black Sword, which is a collection of back-alley municipal thugs, or the Green Forest, which is a collection of bandits, but at least Shincheon isn't that kind of force.

"Even if there are more than one Heavenly Successor, the fact that he is called the Lesser Heavenly Lord means that he is the most skilled of all."

Mujin, who had thought so much, breathed a sigh of relief.

If there were more than one of them, it would have been horrible in many ways.

Mu Jin asked again, remembering the man's tendencies that he had fought with twice before.

"What was the mood of Li Daeju when he gave you instructions? Did it feel like a plan to have a minor lord join from the beginning? Or did it feel like a sudden situation?"

“··· It wasn't in the plan."

Mu Jin nodded at the Red Flame King's answer, "After all."

"It's one thing to lack practical experience compared to your ability, and it's another thing to be unruly while lacking judgment... It looks like you've stepped into the board on your own accord."

The gnome's intervention caused Gu Yang to suffer internal injuries, causing a crisis for the apostates, but on the other hand, thanks to the gnome's stupid judgment, he was able to capture the Red Flame King and easily annihilate dozens of demon cults.

So why did he suddenly intervene in the atrocities of the Demon Cult?

Mujin, who had reached that point, asked again.

"Do you know why the Little Heavenly Lord came here with you?"

“··· He said it was to help the Great Lord, but after he arrived, his behavior changed. He said that he would take the elixir of the other man that the fallen Wu Daeju had found, and he was about to move separately."

At the other party's answer, the pieces that had been scattered in Mujin's head finally began to fall into place.

"The elixir he spoke of must be children with unusual constitutions... And the reason why he dared to follow him to the south and absorb the children was because the supply in the Central Plains was not smooth.

Many of the plans they had in place to facilitate human trafficking have collapsed.

By his own hands.

And because of the butterfly effect, it meant that the little Tianju, who had been hiding somewhere and absorbing the children comfortably, took it upon himself to take it upon himself.

The fact that a major character who didn't even appear in the novel popped up, which meant that the situation was about to take a turn, but Mujin had a rather positive meaning.

"All the hard work has paid off."

It meant that because of his actions, the trafficking of people in Shincheon was not going smoothly.
