Chapter 49
Episode 49 The Gates of Hell Open (3)
Hong Yu-wen smiled and lifted the bottle.
“Take a drink.”
“thank you.”
The person who politely held up the glass was a middle-aged man well over forty.
“I should have visited you often, but I am finally able to visit you now because I have a lot of construction work to do. “There is no shame.”
The man waved his hand.
“How can you say such a thing? “I’m honored that you came here.”
“haha! Of course, I was also thankful earlier. Even if you criticize me for showing what’s inside, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
“no. “It was the right thing to do as a member of the school to curb the chaos on campus.”
“How can I not know that? However, as someone who avoids unnecessary trouble, I also want to say thank you.”
“There is probably no person who does not know Confucius’ love for his religion.”
Geumchil turns towards each other. Even though we both knew better than anyone else that it was just a formality, it was a conversation that we could never have without.
This conversation is like a sheath. It serves as a deterrent to prevent fatal injuries to each other until a real knife is pulled out.
If either of them thinks the other has no business, the sword will be drawn immediately.
A cold and heartless blade that cuts off relationships.
“Hwanheewon will do the construction on the guesthouse side, right?”
“Of course it is.”
“Confucius, if you wish, please speak at any time. “We will release our children from time to time.”
For a moment, Hong Wei-wen’s eyes sparkled.
A high-ranking official from the Criminal Justice Party says that the party members will be released. That too during construction of the guesthouse.
It may be a surprising statement to those who don’t know, but it would be surprising to hear it from someone who knows.
Freeing the members of the Penal Court to help with construction meant creating secret spaces, like a small prison, in the prisoner’s residence.
Each member of the Penal Court was a skilled craftsman and a skilled worker. This was the reason why information about the maze-like paths and prisons within the party was kept completely secret.
The corners of Hong Yuwen’s mouth rose slightly.
‘You want something from me.’
There is no such thing as a free gift in politics. If you give one, you must receive one, and the person who offers to give one must first think about what the other person needs.
Those who break those invisible rules will not last long. Such was the politics that Hong Wi-moon learned over the years.
So he rejected this offer.
“it’s okay.”
“…Is that so?”
“yes. “Can I just accept something else instead?”
“Great Minister… what is that?”
At that time, the middle-aged man’s ears perked up. It seemed like the message came from a party member.
Hong Yuwen smiled.
“yes.”
“….”
“Please ask about the situation you are hearing right now.”
“…Are you telling me to just ignore this turmoil?”
“That’s right.”
The man’s face became serious.
“I don’t know if you know, but there are many demons who saw that incident.”
“I guess so.”
“….”
“So, I think it can easily replace the gift you originally wanted to give me.”
“….”
“How is it? “I still have a lot left in my bag.”
The man thought for a moment and nodded.
“I’ll bury you.”
“thank you.”
“But it stops there. The value of the names Gwangma and Jinma is too great to just bury. If the higher-ups intervene…”
“Then I will step forward. There will be no harm to you. And…”
“….”
“The moment the person I’m targeting gets involved in this situation, it’s okay for the Criminal Justice Party to move. If that happens, there will be no more gossip, right?”
The man smiled and picked up the bottle.
“I’ll follow you this time.”
“I accept it gratefully.”
Two people giving and receiving drinks.
Hong Yuwen’s invisible killing intent soared.
‘I’ll show you that sword-wielding fighting isn’t everything.’
* * *
Damn it!
The falling blades felt like heavy rain.
The amount of life coming out of it is scarier than the number of blades. This is why Ma Dong-pil’s inaction, blocking all the threatening attacks with a single long sword, was dazzling.
However, Ma Dong-pil’s condition was not very good.
“Whoop!” Whoop!”
His breathing became rough and his body was covered in blood.
If you look at each wound individually, they are not serious at all. However, as the wounds gathered together, they caused excessive bleeding that was as severe as a serious injury. If I hadn’t stopped the bleeding by point-calling, I would have passed out long ago.
“hey! “Go away!”
“Don’t be crazy and take care of yourself.”
“What kind of bullshit is this bastard dying? “Me and man!”
Although it was only for a moment, Ma Dong-pil thought seriously. Wouldn’t it be better to stun the Wei Hongryun first before blocking the enemies in front of you?
“It’s noisy.”
“Is this guy really?”
“The sword is heavier because of you… Sigh!”
Whoops!
Ma Dong-pil took a step back. And the Jinma trooper who had swung his sword at him retreated about a dozen steps and disorganized his ranks.
It was an incredible power. The martial arts itself was centered around heavy and strong swords, so even when his body got to this point, his destructive power was extraordinary.
However, when Wei Hongryeon saw that, her face became very distorted.
“You bastard! “What are you doing now?!”
“I told you not to make any noise.”
“Do you think I’m making a lot of noise now? “If you’re going to do it, do it right. Why don’t you use weeds?”
Yes. Wi Hongryeon wasn’t squealing behind Ma Dongpil for no reason.
Ma Dong-pil never used lethal force while enduring waves of attacks from as many as fifty Jinma troops. If I had made up my mind and put down my sword, the battle would have been much easier.
Ma Dong-pil spoke in his characteristic blunt tone.
“It’s just that we clashed because of this situation, but in the end, we aren’t the same demon.”
“hey!”
“And I am the third commander of the defense court. “My sword is aimed only at the enemies of our school, not at the demons.”
“….”
“At least if you didn’t do anything to die.”
“Then we die, man!”
“I won’t let you die.”
“This is not just a conflict, it is a battle of life and death! “What kind of idiot in the world would fight while looking at the enemy’s circumstances?”
“Not an enemy, but a prisoner.”
Wei Hongryeon bit her lip. In a way, this stubbornness, with even the soul trapped in the ground, was amazing.
At that time, a lively snort was heard.
“They’re doing shit.”
Song Gyeong walked out from among the Jinma troops.
Powerful magical energy bloomed again from his body, which had been invigorated by a short rest. It appears that he may have received internal injury medicine from a member of the crew and took it.
“What are they doing? “Hurry up and grab that stupid guy’s head!”
Song Kyung lifted his index finger.
“We Hongryeon. “Why don’t you just come out and not hide behind the baby?”
“Who’s hiding it, you bastard!”
“So come out right now! “Since when was Daeju Gwangma hiding behind others and sucking his fingers!”
She was already so frustrated with Ma Dong-pil that she was about to die. When Song Kyung’s provocation came in, my eyes rolled over.
Woooo!!
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes wavered.
A darker blue demonic energy than ever before spread out from behind his back.
The problem is the madness mixed with demon energy. It was a craziness even greater than what was radiating from Jamiru the other day.
“Great Lord!”
“Boggiya!”
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.
I tried to stop it, but I couldn’t. In the blink of an eye, he jumped over himself and ran towards Song Kyung, but he couldn’t believe that his body had suffered such severe internal and external trauma.
Song Kyung growled.
“Welcome!”
Fuuuuuuu!
The tension exerted by the two people at the same time collided, creating a powerful shock wave. About a dozen Jinma soldiers retreated left and right.
Wei Hongryun’s eyes were bloodshot.
My arm felt like it was going to break, but the pain became fuel for my madness. The whites of his eyes turned red and his pupils turned bright blue like a will-o’-the-wisp.
The peak of madness bloomed from her entire body.
Madness stimulates the demonic craft, and the stimulated demonic energy once again shakes up the middle and low battle of the five desires and seven passions. The magical energy gathered by the shaken Jungjangjeon reached Wonjeong (原精), the source of life.
Song Kyung’s hand twitched.
Whoa!
His face jerked to the side.
Blue veins appeared on his neck. If it weren’t for the magic energy and tough muscles he pulled up with all his might, his head would have been blown off by this blow.
‘what’s this?!’
I may have escaped death, but I am still out of my mind. My eyes flashed brightly and my legs lost their strength and I stumbled.
‘How can such strength be found in a body that is already dying?!’
Wedge!
Song Kyung instinctively waved her hand. It was a snow mountain ghost sword that was opened with six manual techniques that created a faint white glow.
Although it is a martial art that is performed suddenly, its power is still there. It was indeed an act of inaction worthy of being called the Lord of Jinma.
but.
Kwasik!
“Kaaak!”
Song Kyung took a step back again.
His wrist was dislocated at an odd angle. The backs of my hands and palms were roughly torn and tattered here and there.
The pain was so unexpected that I came to my senses. The left arm, which was otherwise broken, was shattered up to the wrist.
The good news is that my legs gained strength and the dizziness disappeared.
Song Kyung raised his head and looked ahead.
Wei Hongryeon was running with a face distorted like a demon. Her right arm was also broken due to misalignment, but it did not appear to be in any pain.
Weeeeeee!
Song Kyung’s eyes widened.
A blindingly intense blue magical energy was emanating from Wei Hongryun’s body, which was running at incredible speed.
It was a tremendous concentration of magical energy that was not shown even in a vivid state. The magic energy that she cannot dare to use within her own realm is supporting her body.
‘Could that be…?’
A look of boredom appeared on Song Kyung’s face.
‘Are you messing with the expedition? crazy!’
The expedition manager is the source of life. Right now, Wei Honglian was rushing around, pulling out the expedition equipment that a person would need to spend a lifetime.
This is a completely different level of madness than simply risking one’s life. Even if he survived this match, there was a high possibility that he would have to live as a disabled person due to the aftereffects.
‘Did you want to kill me that bad!’
Song Kyung bit her lip.
Anyway, I didn’t want to increase the expedition because of Wei Hongryeon. In the first place, the expedition wasn’t something you could use as you wanted.
Crash!
Song Kyung shouted.
“I am the Great Lord of Jinma!”
Quaaaang!
With a tremendous explosion, the two people flew backwards and fell down.
The Jinma Team members who had been continuously pushing Ma Dong-pil due to the shock wave that was incomparable to before also looked back at this place in surprise.
“Kuweeeek!”
Song Kyung, whose limbs were all broken, vomited a bowl of blood.
“Cough!”
Wei Hongryeon also coughed blood.
But it’s okay. Both arms were broken, but at least my legs were fine.
Woooo!!
Cheonghyeon Magi soars once again. My body was extremely exhausted, and the demonic energy emanating from me became stronger.
“Wow!”
Wei Hongryeon rushed forward, screaming without knowing whether it was a scream or a scream. The sight of her attacking, spraying blood, was reminiscent of a Rakshasa from hell.
A slight fear appeared on Song Kyung’s face. I had no idea that that terrible thing would try to kill me again.
“Stop it!”
The startled Jinma troops quickly blocked Song Gyeong’s path. No matter how strong the magical energy was, it was much faster than Wei Hongryun, whose stamina was at its lowest.
Just before Wei Hongryun and the Jinma Troopers collide.
Whoa!
“…?”
With a cool hitting sound, Weihongryun flew far away.
The Jinma troopers looked puzzled at the sudden incident. Why was Wei Hongryeon, who was charging at her with a force that seemed like she was going to kill everyone in sight, rolling around in the distance?
It was then.
“We Hongryeon.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to where the voice was heard.
There, a handsome young man was glaring at Wei Hongryun with his face so distorted that it seemed as if it was about to explode.
Wi Hongryeon’s eyes widened as she came to her senses with just one hit.
The young American Xi Liang roared.
“Knock it to death!”
Peeeeeeee!
Seo-ryang rushed at incredible speed and swung his fist at Wei Hong-ryeon.
Wei Hongryun’s eyes were tightly closed.
