Chapter 595
< The Return of the God of War Side Story Episode 95 >
“Poetry Goddess….”
“Don’t say anything.”
Geum Geum-ran continued to hold his breath with a pale, tired complexion. My mind was still so confused that I couldn’t even tell if what I was seeing was a dream or reality.
The sight I saw before coming here is still vivid.
The Imperial Palace collapsed and the temple buildings were destroyed.
That alone should have been shocking, but what she saw here was something beyond her imagination.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha….”
All the members of the Church of Heaven and Earth were rushing toward Emperor Wu at the same time, but they were blocked in front of only one person and could not advance.
It seemed as if corpses were piling up like a mountain and the cries of the dying could be heard.
See it now too.
Just by looking at the place where Emperor Wu’s castle was located, one could see the miserable sight of countless corpses lying tangled and scattered here and there.
“Does this… make sense?”
“I saw it too, but I never
thought it would be like this…” In fact, Jin Tae-gong was even more shocked.
If she only vaguely saw the figure of a person from a distance, Jin Tae-gong saw the situation vividly because he looked at it with as much strength as possible.
Dan Woohyun.
It must be him.
I saw something so absurd.
That such a thing is possible with human power.
Isn’t this something that even Namgungcheon and Sadohak couldn’t do?
“…Is there something?”
At that time, I heard a terrifying voice.
Jin Geum-ran, who barely raised his head, trembled. Wasn’t he next to Dansomi, blocking her gaze and preventing her from looking anywhere else?
How is it right in front of you now?
But I couldn’t think of anything else.
Jin Tai-gong lowered his head, and Jin-ran Jin trembled.
“No… there’s nothing.”
“…well thought out.”
“…!?”
“Tsk!”
Both of them could not help but be shocked at Bicheonwoong’s words that they soon heard.
He smiled slightly, his expression showing no change compared to Dan Woohyun. But I know that it is never a happy smile.
He said he would kill me if he had to.
Or, it feels like it’s a good thing that they didn’t know that they tried to kill him.
My body started to tremble because even though I was smiling, the murderous spirit I was shooting at the two people did not go away.
“…I don’t know how long I’ll be with them, but I’ll give you some advice.”
“Yes…”
“Pretend you didn’t see it, even if you heard it, pretend you didn’t hear it. If you want to live…”
Looking at the warning-filled eyes and expression, I had no choice but to nod. If you refuse it, Bicheonwoong will cut off the heads of both people without hesitation.
“ah! What are you doing? “You said you were going over there?”
At that time, Dansomi came running in a huff and pointed to the northwest. It is said that if you go inside along a small forest path, you will find a pond, so you can take a look at it.
As she urged, Bicheonwoong naturally started walking, and the two followed suit with their heads bowed.
Since he originally said he would be Jang Sam-tae’s successor, he cannot run away, and now he cannot go back on that promise. Probably, if you offend the people in this house, you won’t be able to live anywhere in the central world, except in hell.
“Don’t think anything. “Because we… can’t turn back.”
“Hahaha, I’m glad I don’t die.”
Jin Tae-gong, who was sweating profusely, smiled bitterly.
What kind of life did Jang Sam-tae live among these people? I shook my head, feeling sick just thinking about it.
The moment we reached the pond, following Dan So-mi and Bi Cheon-woong ahead. Suddenly, I heard footsteps in front and immediately came face to face with In-young, who was running urgently.
“…!?”
“…!”
The three people looked at each other and raised their eyes wide.
A face so familiar that you can never say you don’t know it. Therefore, there was no choice but to have a look of embarrassment on his face.
“How could a priest…?”
“Why are you here…?”
* * *
Hwang Do-jin could not help but be embarrassed.
After seeing the devastated state of the religious leader, I decided to run away because I thought I couldn’t do anything anymore. The Church of Heaven and Earth is broken and cannot be restored, so there is no need to risk one’s life in a place where it collapses.
So I packed up everything I had and came out.
The reason why the luggage was so full was because they brought everything that could make money. Wouldn’t it be easier to live in the future if you receive compensation like this?
They were moving along the fastest route out of Chengdu, so why were Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong in a place like this?
When I glanced to the side, I saw another mysterious woman and an unidentifiable person in black standing there as if guarding the woman.
Are you a group?
It was a situation I could not understand at all.
“you! “Where are we going?”
“Isn’t it obvious? “I want to leave without any regrets about a place that will collapse.”
Jin Tae-gong frowned at the one word he uttered.
Hwang Do-jin was a man who enjoyed the cult leader’s favor and was well-liked, but now his behavior of trying to run away was unsatisfactory.
he asked, gritting his teeth.
“Could it be that you betrayed me?”
“What is betrayal?… Betrayal and nabal in a place that is already ruined? “If it’s betrayal… it would be you guys.”
Hwang Do-jin raised the corners of his mouth.
The sudden collapse of the Imperial Palace and the enemy’s intrusion into the hidden Cheonji Church were things that would never be revealed unless someone informed them.
Since this happened immediately after the disappearance of the priestess, couldn’t it be said that Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong were the true traitors?
Hwang Do-jin sighed and put down his luggage and relaxed.
“Still, the cult leader has a favor, so I’ll at least get revenge and leave.”
“What… what?”
“It means I’m going to kill you guys.”
Hwang Do-jin released his momentum and held the sword in his hand. Actually, I wanted to run away even a little further at a time like this, but even if I didn’t, I couldn’t just leave it because the two kites I didn’t like were right in front of me.
Hwang Do-jin suddenly opened his eyes and took a stance.
I will kill them all with a single sword.
“Well… you’d better think. “It’s going to be a really big problem.”
“Haha, Shinnyeo, both then and now, has a great pun. “Hasn’t something big already happened over there?”
“….”
“That kind of prank doesn’t work on me. Even more so now…!”
Hwang Do-jin had a confident expression.
Ban Geum-ran is a girl who is no different from ordinary people. On the other hand, Jin Tai-gong has the honor of being the Four Emperors, but he is only at the level of guessing or barely able to win.
So, if he makes up his mind and swings his sword, no one present will be able to stop him.
I just jumped up and rushed at him.
The speed is such that it is appropriate to say that it is literally like shooting an arrow. As it is the same as Baekmanryang and is an ascending martial art that was given directly by the religious leader, its power is fearsome to say the least.
The moment he raised his sword and was about to cut off Geum Geum-ran’s head.
Bah!
“Huh?!”
The fist of the man in black who suddenly appeared hit me in the face. It could not be said that the swing was very strong, but strangely enough, Hwang Do-jin’s body fell to the floor.
“….”
“Ah….”
“Well… I told you to stop…”
Geum Geum-ran sighed, clutching his eyebrows.
If Bicheonwoong had not been here, things would have gone as smoothly as he wanted.
However, in a situation where one of the world’s five emperors, Sal Huang, is present, wouldn’t someone like Hwang Do-jin be able to achieve his goal?
“Is he okay?”
At that time, Dan So-mi, who was far away, approached at a fast pace and asked.
His face was full of worry and concern, but the look on his face as he glanced down at the fallen person made me wonder if he was dead.
“…It’ll be okay. “He didn’t die.”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…”
Bicheonwoong’s words are never wrong.
It didn’t die.
However, the shock must have been so great that his teeth came out of his mouth along with blood. Even at first glance, it seemed like it would be wrong to chew on something other than one or two.
“Phew… I’m glad. I wondered what I would do if I died. “But do you know each other?”
“One of the Four Emperors of Heaven and Earth… His name is Hwang Do-jin.”
When asked, Taegong Jin opened his mouth more politely than ever. Not only is she protected by the strong background of the Five Emperors of the World, but her father is a warrior whose level surpasses even that.
It was obvious that if I did it carelessly, not even bone dust would be left behind.
“If it’s Cheonjigyo… surely there are bad people…?”
Dan So-mi asked, looking at Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong with flawless, clear eyes.
They seemed to be trying to speak cautiously because they knew that this was a place they too had been involved in, but it did not change the feeling of pain in their hearts.
Jin Geum-ran quickly turned his head and smiled, and Jin Tae-gong hesitated, trying to decide what to say, but then closed his eyes tightly and nodded.
“Whoa, I’m glad anyway. Because my sister almost got into big trouble. Let’s just leave this guy alone. “When you open your eyes, it will go on its own.”
“That’s right.”
“Then continue on your way! “Did you say it was over there?”
Dansomi didn’t seem to care much even though there was someone lying down. If I had been a child, I would have cried and screamed and made a fuss and thought that I had to save him, but as I grew up next to Dan Woo-hyeon, my personality seemed to have changed a little in that direction.
Bicheonwoong looked at the scene and let out a long sigh.
Although he is still an innocent child, he continues to think of Dan Woo-hyeon. Whether it’s a good direction or a bad direction.
It was a situation where I couldn’t help but sigh, but I didn’t have the confidence to argue about Dan Woo-hyun’s education policy.
Eventually, I turned my head and gently touched Hwang Do-jin’s luggage with my foot. In an instant, the baggage was released, revealing all kinds of valuable items inside.
Even Geum Geum-ran and Jin Tae-gong are surprised by the amount.
“…just bring it to the matriarch.”
“This belongs to Hwang Do-jin….”
“…If you do that, your future will be easier.”
At the sudden sound of a word, I put back the items that had spilled out of the baggage where the prohibited section had been released, one by one, and then tied the strings tightly again and looked at Jin Tae-gong.
Then, Jin Tae-gong seemed to recognize the look in her eyes and nodded, lifting the luggage. Because there were so many precious items, it was quite heavy, but he held it tightly with both hands as if he thought it was his lifeline so as not to lose a single item.
“Welcome!”
“I’m going. song!”
Soon, the two people started running at the sound of Dan So-mi’s voice.
“….”
Bicheonwoong, who was left alone, glanced at the floor when he could no longer see Dansomi. Hwang Do-jin was seen lying there, still unable to open his eyes.
Perhaps this was one of the core elements of Cheonjigyo.
It must be clear since I heard you talking about the Four Emperors and all.
Although you have already become a person who is no longer worth your efforts, a relationship that is tied up in a bad relationship is bound to become a bad relationship at any time.
It’s unfortunate, but it has to be nipped in the bud.
That’s why Dan Woo-hyeon also didn’t come forward?
Flutter-!
And Bicheonwoong did not hesitate. The moment the blade extending from inside the sleeve entered Hwang Do-jin’s head, his breathing body trembled and stopped at some point.
After confirming that, Bicheonwoong took a step forward.
Just indifferently.
It’s as if he killed a person who deserved to die.
