Reaper of the Drifting Moon

Episode 560 Ju

Seol-Pung’s eyes were bloodshot red and his face was swollen.

The first to run to the news that the Jewon Corps had suffered a catastrophe.

Externally, he disguised himself as having cut ties with the Jewon Association, but he could not maintain such a disguise until his great-grandmother’s death.

He led the warriors of the Unryeonhoe and ran to the top of the memorial. However, when he arrived, King Gu Jin disappeared after turning the report of the Jewon Merchant.

When Roh Tae-tae’s body was found among the corpses of countless people, the Ju-seol-wind collapsed.

All night long, I hugged Roh Tae-tae’s body and cried.

I cried so much that my throat was hoarse and my voice couldn’t come out properly.

Pyowol looked at the main snow wind.

“Are you okay?”

“it’s okay. I’m not weak enough to break down just this much.”

“I’m glad.”

“thank you. For running like this.”

“She was a good person.”

“yes! He was a good man.”

“But he died.”

“yes! I lost my life at the hands of King Gu Jin.”

“Why did King Gu Jin attack the Jewon Sangdan and kill her?”

“I think it’s because of the sword in the family’s treasury.”

“knife?”

“Looks like Grandpa recently got a pretty decent sword.”

More than that, I could understand without hearing an explanation.

This is because they already know the history of King Gu Jin.

A blizzard blew through.

“To kill so many people with just one sword.”

“What are you going to do next?”

“I must take revenge.”

“Do you have the confidence to do it?”

“I have to do without it.”

“What about the union association?”

“No matter how important the union association is, it is less than the revenge of my great-grandmother.”

Awesome!

The blizzard gnashed his teeth.

He grinded so hard that blood flowed from his gums.

Pyo-wol stared at Ju Seol-pung’s face.

“I am an assassin.”

“yes?”

“I take a request and kill people.”

“…”

Only then did Ju Seol-pung realize what Pyo-wol wanted to say.

The eyes of the two met in midair.

Pyo-wol did not avoid the hot gaze of the main snow wind.

After a while, the snow wind opened its mouth with difficulty.

“I’ll make a request for you! The target is Nangwang, Gujinwang, and the price is…”

“One coin is all it takes.”

“That’s…”

“That’s exactly what King Gujin is worth to me.”

“All right. Will you accept my request for a coin?”

“I accept it.”

“thank you.”

Ju Seol-Pung took a hug from Pyo-Wol and lowered his head.

After a while, when he raised his head again, Pyowol’s figure had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.

It was then.

“Snowstorm! Come here.”

Joo Ji-hwan, who was immersed in grief, sang Ju-seol-wind.

“yes! grandfather.”

With the answer, Ju Seol-pung approached Joo Joo-hwan.

Overnight, Joo Ji-hwan seemed to have aged by several decades.

If he hadn’t been obsessed with revenge, he could have let go of his life altogether.

Joo Joo-hwan looked at Roh Tae-tae’s body and said,

“I should have died instead of my mother. My mother should have lived instead of me.”

“That would not have been what my great-grandmother wanted. grandfather.”

“The thing that this human-like old man killed his great-grandmother and the warriors of the headquarters is a sword.”

“…”

“Do you understand? It means that all these deaths are worth only one sword. So many people died because of just one slightly harder and slightly sharper sword.”

“grandfather?”

“Are human lives so worthless? I can’t possibly forgive him.”

“So do i.”

“I would kill that old man even if I had to spend tens of millions of dollars. I will kill that old man with his blood, even if I scatter all my possessions on all the ronin and munpa in the world.”

“You don’t have to.”

“You’re not trying to make a foolish remark that revenge calls for revenge, right?”

Joo Ji-hwan looked at the snow wind with burning eyes.

The main snow wind shook his head slightly and replied.

“Could that be?”

“if?”

“Already commissioned.”

“To whom? if?”

“yes! The Shinigami has received my request.”

“good night! Then I will not give him a burial of the dead until he brings the old man’s head.”

Joo Ji-hwan declared in front of everyone.

King Gu Jin looked at the sword on the table with a dissatisfied expression.

A noble feeling was exuded from the scabbard and handle engraved with antique patterns.

Even at a glance, I could tell that it was a treasured sword made a long time ago. However, it was far short of winning the eyes of King Gu Jin.

“Sometimes trash is a treasured sword.”

Sreung!

he drew his sword

A straight sword body and a sharpened blade caught my eye.

It was definitely a well-made sword.

It was probably made by a famous artisan with great care.

The problem is that this sword is a ceremonial sword, not for actual combat.

A ceremonial sword used during ancestral rites.

It may look beautiful on the outside, but both balance and strength fall far short of King Gu Jin’s standard.

The result obtained after making the huge merchant company called Jewon Sangdan into a mess was less than expected.

“To think of keeping a sword like this in the treasury. Jewon Sangdanju is out of his mind.”

King Gujin put the sword back into its scabbard and set it beside the table.

At that time, Deung Cheol-woong, who was carefully watching him, opened his mouth.

“Don’t you like the sword?”

“joy! It looks good only on the surface, but it will probably break soon if you fight a proper warrior.”

“Sorry.”

“Why are you greedy?”

“How am I?”

“Hehe! Your eyes are full of greed, but do you tell lies that the seed will not be eaten?”

“sorry.”

“done. If you’re that greedy, you’ll have it.”

“Are you really…?”

“I don’t have enough free time to lie to you.”

“Then thank you.”

Deung Cheol-woong quickly handed over the sword.

King Gu Jin snorted as he saw Deung Cheol-woong hugging his sword tightly.

“It’s a pearl necklace around a pig’s neck.”

King Gu Jin’s words made him feel bad, but Deung Cheol-ung didn’t show it that way at all.

Deung Cheol-woong, who had been enjoying the feel of the sword for a while, cautiously spoke to King Gu Jin.

“But what are you going to do next?”

“What do you mean?”

“I made the top of the jewon in that shape, so I won’t be alone at the union meeting.”

“joy! What if all the things don’t stay?”

“There is Gwangmumun Gate behind the Unryeonhoe.”

“Gwangmumun?”

“Lee Geom-han, who has newly become the owner of Eunryeonhoe, is the owner of Gwangmumun. He will not be alone.”

“Gwangmumun would be a bit troublesome.”

King Gujin frowned.

He said that, but he couldn’t be relieved if Gwangmumun really moved.

Gwangmumun, the loser of the north, was an opponent that could not be underestimated.

In particular, Lee Chung, the head of Gwangmumun, was an existence he could not dare to deal with.

If he moved directly, King Gu Jin had to be regarded as dead.

When King Gu Jin made an agitated expression, Deung Cheol-woong carefully brought up the main topic.

“There is a good way.”

“What is it?”

“How about entrusting yourself to the Golden Temple?”

“Geumcheonhoe?”

“yes! Isn’t Jang Moo-geuk, the head of the Geumcheonhoe, the head of the Cheonmujang? Even Gwangmumun will not be able to touch Cheonmujang.”

The moment Deung Cheol-woong mentioned Cheonmu-jang, King Gu Jin’s face contorted.

King Gu Jin hit Deung Cheol-woong with his fist.

Kwajik!

“Keeck!”

Deung Cheol-woong stretched out like a frog with a scream.

King Gujin rose from his seat while smoking a fire.

“If you look at me in a funny way, are you doing such a foolish thing?”

“Keuk Kuk! sorry.”

“If you talk nonsense one more time, then I will take your life.”

“I will be careful.”

Deung Cheol-woong rubbed his chest and stood up cautiously.

Fortunately, King Gu Jin kept the situation in his hands, so he was not seriously injured. Still, it was enough to raise his awareness.

‘You crazy old man! Still, I said it because I was thinking of myself. I don’t know where the really crazy things will bounce.’

Deung Cheol-woong thought it was time to step out.

Although they succeeded in making the top of the Jewon a mess by using King Gu Jin, it could be dangerous if they went together more than this.

One hand is hard to block ten hands is the reason of the world, and King Gu Jin bought too much resentment.

Right now, thanks to the mighty martial arts, you can pass without getting hurt, but as time goes by, you will definitely move at the union association level. In that case, no matter how strong King Gu Jin was, he would eventually be defeated or killed.

If you stay next to an angular guy and then continue to hang out with King Gujin, claiming that you are right, you will not be able to escape your anger. So, at this point, I had to part with King Gu Jin.

However, since King Gu Jin’s personality was so erratic, he was cautious about even mentioning it.

King Gu Jin glared at Deung Cheol-woong with wolf-like cold eyes and said,

“I can hear your head rolling from here. Stop messing around and come over here and pour yourself a drink.”

“yes!”

Deung Cheol-woong bowed his head and approached King Gu Jin again.

‘Shit! It’s like a ghost noticed by a crazy old man…’

Inwardly, he cursed King Gu Jin, but his face was filled with a servile smile.

That was the secret of Deung Cheol-woong’s survival.

For a strong man, bowing his head without hesitation and looking for a chance to stab him in the back was what he did best.

Deung Cheol-woong filled King Gu Jin’s cup with wine.

“Big!”

King Gujin drank at once and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Suddenly, he pulled out one of the two swords he was carrying on his back.

It was fear.

“As expected, there is no one other than this guy. Taking this sword from that young bastard is the best thing I ever did in my life.”

“fear? It looks like a great sword.”

“It’s not like a sword, it’s a real sword. Although it looks rough, I’ve never seen a sword as good as this one. The only sword that can be compared is Golden Hwang, but even that is a bit inferior compared to this guy.”

“Is that so?”

In an instant, the light of greed flashed in Deung Cheol-woong’s eyes as well.

The sword that King Gu Jin gave to him was also a great sword. However, King Gujin talked about the sword as if it were no big deal. If so, I couldn’t imagine how great the sword King Gu Jin was holding in his hand would be.

‘If only I could have that sword…’

Greed raised its head in the chest. However, Deung Cheol-woong thoroughly concealed his intentions.

King Gu Jin would not stand still if he knew that he was greedy for the sword.

Deung Cheol-woong said as he poured the wine into King Gu Jin’s cup again.

“What do you plan to do now?”

“what?”

“Since there was such a fuss, shouldn’t we come up with a countermeasure?”

“Measures? That’s what the weak do. It doesn’t matter if a strong person like me doesn’t have to come up with a separate countermeasure.”

“But…”

“If you say one more word, I will rip your mouth out.”

“yes!”

Deung Cheol-woong kept his mouth shut like a porridge. However, he couldn’t hide the dissatisfied expression on his face.

It was the moment when King Gu Jin was about to speak out.

Suddenly, his eyes trembled.

“what?”

“yes? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

Deung Cheol-woong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Instead of answering, King Gujin glared at the window and suddenly swung the fear he was holding in his hand.

Awesome!

With a sharp cutting sound, the crescent-shaped blade of sword slashed through the window and flew outside.

Then King Gujin jumped up and shouted.

“How dare a rat peek into my lair. I’ll rip its jaws open.”
