Myst, Might, Mayhem Chapter 317

< Episode 86: Half Man, Half Monster (4) >

“…….I don’t know what you want, but if it’s someone as talented as you, or rather a person with great talent, than that traitorous old man, he will want to bring you in at a high price.”

Hearing the words of Scar’s middle-aged man, Li Guang, the expression of Gu Yang Xiao, the head of the Gu Yang family, hardened.

This was a situation he had never imagined.

In order to save his immediate life, he gave in without worrying about the consequences of the organization or his reputation, and then that monster said he would join the organization.

It was astounding.

It would have been better if no one had been there, but since it happened in front of the organization’s executive, Lee Gwang, who was from another world, I couldn’t capture the words he said.

‘What should I do about this?’

If Lee Gwang attacked him with that guy, he had no time to do anything.

No, that monster alone could have killed him in the first place.

Ouyang Xiao’s mind became complicated.

Due to the broken arm, his vital energy was damaged, making it difficult to escape.

‘Damn it.’

It was a situation where I really didn’t know what to do.

Then, Lee Gwang’s eyes met.

The guy who couldn’t move his lower body yet looked at himself, raised his mouth meaningfully, and said to Mok Kyung-un.

“Humble. Since you said you would join the organization, can you do one thing for the organization?”

“You haven’t received what you want yet, but you’re asking for it.”

“It won’t be that difficult for you. And if you become a member of our organization, this is something you must do.”

“what is that?”

“It’s about punishing traitors.”

“betrayer? iced coffee.”

Lee Gwang stared at Gu Yang-so and showed his will.

Then Ouyangshao, who was trying to figure out what to do, hurriedly shouted to Mo Qingyun.

“Look. No matter how much I surrendered to you, I did so at the risk of repercussions for the organization. But wouldn’t it be too much to target Nobu now?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lee Kwang urged.

“Too much treatment? You old fox! “How can you say something like that if your face is so thick?”

“W-what?”

“I invited you and treated you well, but then you betrayed the organization and then you proudly boast about it. Tsk tsk, all of this is because of you.”

“Treatment? under!”

Ouyangso reacted as if he was shocked by his sarcasm.

I wanted to say something, but then I kept my mouth shut.

Now, the problem was more about how that monster would come out.

That said,

“Are you asking me to kill you because of this? “I haven’t officially joined yet, but it’s a lot of work.”

“Please understand. “Strictly speaking, aren’t you responsible for that person’s betrayal of the organization?”

“Well, does that happen?”

“I will make sure to let him know of your merits. So right now…”

It was before I even finished speaking.

-Pot!

As if he thought he had no more choice, Gu Yang Xiao kicked off the ground and launched a light attack towards the opposite direction from where they were.

Yi Gwang shouted as Gu Yang Xiao suddenly ran away.

“We have to catch that traitorous old man!”

At his loud shout, two of the few remaining masked men hurriedly launched a new weapon in the direction of Guyangso.

‘no. ‘These guys?’

I wasn’t saying anything to them, but I was embarrassed to chase after them.

No matter how much Guyangso betrayed him, he was not someone who could be caught even if they chased after him.

‘no way?’

At that moment, Lee Gwang clicked his tongue.

When I thought about it, it seemed like I wasn’t really chasing Gu Yang Xiao to catch him.

Many of the masked people have lost their lives, and if anyone sees themselves lying on the ground covered in blood or Gu Yang So running away, the situation is unfavorable.

They naturally attempted to escape using the excuse of chasing Gu Yang Xiao.

In response, Lee Gwang shouted at Mok Gyeong-un, who was taking his time.

“Humble. If you miss that old man, the existence of the organization will be revealed. Then he may not get what you want.”

“really. “It’s annoying in many ways.”

-Sureuk!

As a result, Mok Gyeong-un finally moved.

As his new form disappeared, Lee Gwang gritted his teeth.

If only his lower body had been intact, he would have chased after that traitor and cut off his head.

But inside I became anxious.

It would be fortunate if that condescending bastard captured the old man Guyangso, but if a situation were to arise where he intentionally let him go, he might punish him with death.

‘We’ll have to catch that guy.’

Otherwise, you’ll be in real trouble.

* * *

-Papa papa pot!

Although his arm was twisted and his bones were injured to the point of protruding, as a master of fireworks whose name and appearance transcended walls, Gu Yangso, the leader of the Paldoksa, was performing light attacks across the bushes at incredible speeds.

His speed was much faster than a horse running at full speed.

Ouyangso ran with all his might until he could barely see the surroundings he was passing by.

Even when I was young, I had never run so desperately, but there was no other way to save my life.

‘Anyway, Lee Gwang can’t even walk right now, so if I can just beat that monster…’

A slight possibility arises.

While running like this, I memorized and even read down everything I had on each route in order to interfere with the chase even a little.

‘!?’

However, Gu Yang-so’s expression, who was running like that, soon hardened.

He was only concerned about the back.

However, a figure appeared in the direction where he was performing a light attack.

‘Damn it!’

Ouyangshao was instinctively convinced that it was Mu Qingyun.

Ouyangso, thinking that this would not work, fired a strong energy containing poisonous energy towards the person.

-Chaaaa!

Then it turned east again.

It was only a temporary solution, but something had to be done.

Still, since it was a powerful 10-star attack loaded with eight poisons, I thought I might have gained some time.

-Park!

At that moment, a blurry shadow appeared five steps in front of him.

And immediately the shadow became darker,

‘this!’

“You’re doing something useless.”

It was Mokgyeongun.

Ouyang Xiao, with a distorted expression, stuck out his tongue.

No matter how much I overcame the wall, I had no idea that the gap would be this wide.

In the end, no matter what you do, you’re in the palm of Buddha’s hand.

In the end, Gu Yang Xiao couldn’t help but feel helpless and stopped.

Mok Kyung-un said, looking at his face as if he had given up.

“Aren’t you planning on rebelling a little more?”

“How can you resist? Are you playing with Nobu?”

“That can’t be right.”

Mo Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders.

Then, Guyangso looked fed up, but then Mei spoke in a loud voice.

“Look. Nobu still had a lot of regrets about life, so he surrendered despite the repercussions of the organization. But it’s really too much. “Do you think I have to kill Nobu to get rid of my anger?”

“It’s a pity that you have regrets about life. “I didn’t really have any intention of killing him.”

“……..”

okay. It was Lee Gwang’s request.

Ouyang Xiao spoke in a pleading voice.

“Can’t you please let Nobu go instead? No matter how much Lee Gwang asked for it for the sake of the organization, isn’t it worth a lot of money? “How can you speak two words with one mouth?”

“well. “Depending on the situation, that may be the case.”

“If you are a gentleman, you don’t know….”

“I am not a gentleman, and I have never considered my words to be like gold.”

“……”

When the seeds didn’t work, Guyangso became speechless out of frustration and despair.

It seemed like nothing could be said to this guy.

I thought that if there was at least a duty, they would let him go or show him even the slightest mercy, but it seemed difficult to expect that.

‘Is this where it ends?’

I gave up my pride and begged for my life, but I never thought it would happen like this.

Even though I couldn’t see the end, I wanted to somehow achieve just one thing.

But in this life, it seemed impossible.

Gu Yang Xiao, who had given up on this, flopped down on the floor and soon closed his eyes and muttered.

“Ahhh. “I just can’t see the fight.”

“Win? “What do you mean?”

“Telling them won’t save you, so what can you do?”

Ouyang Xiao didn’t want to be miserable anymore.

I’ve already thrown away my pride and didn’t even bother to save my life, so what’s the need to look good?

Mok Gyeong-un smiled and said to him.

“You never know. “Who knows if your heart will be moved when you don’t even have eyes to see?”

“……How can Nobu trust you when you’re already trying to break a promise you made once?”

“If you look at it that way, it’s as if you broke your trust with the organization in order to survive. How can I trust you?”

“that…….”

At this, Ouyangshao was about to say something, but immediately closed his mouth.

Even if there was a reason, it was meaningless if the other person could not understand it.

“No. You’re right. “No matter how dangerous his life was, he gave in easily and leaked information, so this old man is even more untrustworthy.”

“I’m glad I didn’t.”

“……..”

This guy subtly hits me to the bone with his words.

I was displeased inside, but I couldn’t help it, so I held it in and Mok Kyung-un said.

“But I’m curious. “Why did you follow that organization when you could easily betray it without worrying about the consequences for your life?”

“What are you trying to do with that?”

Mok Kyung-un smiled and answered that question.

“I’m trying to decide whether to kill you or not.”

“Deciding whether to kill or not? Anyway, isn’t that taking Nobu’s life too lightly?”

Ouyang Xiao frowned and expressed his resistance.

Mok Kyung-un then crossed his arms and spoke with indifferent eyes.

“Do you think we are just discussing the weight of life? Rather, I think it would be better to keep in mind who has the power over life and death.”

-Startle!

It was truly strange.

It didn’t really show any energy.

But a razor-blue feeling was wrapping around my neck.

Shocked by this, Ouyang Xiao swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

He’s clearly a guy who hasn’t even lived half, or even a third, of his life, so why does he have this level of weight and intimidation?

Gu Yang Xiao, who was puzzled, soon seemed to understand the reason.

‘……Is it the leader’s vessel?’

Now I see that this guy was born with the qualities of a ruler.

Regardless of age, the ruler’s vessel embraces others as a leader or a loser and guides all people along the path they have created.

Ouyang Xiao let out an inward sigh.

It seemed like the reason he was intimidated by this guy wasn’t just because of his strength.

While I was inwardly amazed, Mok Gyeong-un spoke.

“Does not saying anything mean you are choosing death?”

At those words, Ouyang Xiao hesitated for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“If I say this now, it may sound like an excuse, but it was to repay a debt.”

“debt?”

“I see.”

“What kind of debt is it?”

“Nobu’s granddaughter has a near-incurable disease. “She was barely able to survive thanks to the herb called Geumjangcho (錦帳草) that they rescued.”

“Geumjangcho? “Isn’t that a rare grass that grows in extremely cold snowy areas?”

‘This guy?’

Ouyang Shao was surprised by Mo Qingyun’s knowledge of medicinal herbs.

Geumjangcho was a special medicinal herb that was not only known in the western region where the Guyang family’s manor was located, but also in the central plains where herbalists and doctors knew little about it.

He, too, had finally figured it out in order to treat his granddaughter’s illness.

However, knowing about Geumjangcho (geumjangcho) meant that the knowledge about medicinal herbs was also unusual.

What on earth is this guy?

Then Mok Gyeong-un stroked his chin and said.

“Well, whatever it is, I decided to join them at the cost of my granddaughter’s life because of the hard-to-find goldenrod.”

“……That’s right. I couldn’t help it. Geumjangcho was a herb that was difficult to grow wild in the West or the Central Plains, and Nobu also looked for it for a long time but could not find it, so their help was desperate.”

“You would say that because it is the life of one’s flesh and blood. But then shouldn’t we betray even more?”

“okay. What you said is correct. Nobu Hana sufficiently repaid their debt. “I worked for them for almost ten years, and I was dragged around too many times, holding Geumjangcho as a hostage.”

Mokgyeongun looked puzzled at those words and asked.

“Didn’t you only use Geumjangcho once?”

“You had to take it regularly and consistently, not just once. “I don’t know where they get the goldenrod, but they always supplied it in a certain quantity, and because of that, Nobu had no choice but to help pay the price.”

There was a strange sense of skepticism in Gu Yang Shao’s voice as she said those words.

Because her granddaughter’s life was at stake, she had no choice but to join the organization, but most of the things they did were not very desirable.

As many civilians, who were not even martial arts people, lost their lives due to the poison he created, his desire to cut ties with them grew even more.

Looking at him like this, Mok Kyung-un twitched his lips and said.

“In the end, you chose your own life over your granddaughter’s.”

At those words, Ouyangso became angry and raised his voice.

“What do you think of Nobu? No matter how much Nobu was dragged around by them, I am confident that when it comes to medicinal materials, they are among the top three in the central and western regions.”

“Hoo. “Have you found a solution to replace Geumjangcho?”

“…….You are really perceptive.”

Ouyang Xiao clicked his tongue and nodded.

“It is as you said. For ten years, Nobu analyzed the remaining Geumjangcho and created a medicine that could replace it.”

“You were preparing step by step to sever ties with them.”

“I see. “Actually, things went astray because of you, but I was going to take this as my final decision and settle down with that guy and go into hiding with Gasol.”

“…….Conclusion refers to the fate of the eagle eagle.”

“I have been competing with this guy for a long time, but I have never been able to reach a conclusion. “It was something she always regretted, so she wanted to compete one last time.”

Guyangso, the head of the Paldoksa, who was said to have reached the highest level of poison, and Dan Inhae, the cheondogsu, were rivals recognized by everyone in the central plains.

And they, too, have always been aware of and competed with each other.

Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes looking at Gu Yang-so’s pure foolishness became strange.

-Why don’t you understand?

Cheongryeong asked Mo Gyeong-un.

Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and answered.

-well.

-You may not understand it, but having a rival that you can compete with for the rest of your life is an enviable thing.

-is that so?

-of course. Even to me, this is not true… no. What are you going to do? Other than saving lives is your mind, but you must calculate the impact it will have later on.

-That’s right.

Then, Ouyangso opened his mouth with a more refreshed face, as if he felt refreshed inside by revealing the secret.

“So what are you going to do with Nobu?”

To his question, Mok Kyung-un stroked his chin and answered.

“Hmm. “It’s definitely a waste to just kill him.”

At those words, Ouyang Xiao’s face lit up.

“If I do that, will you let Nobu go as promised?”

“It’s not difficult, but if you let them go, it will be difficult to achieve the conclusion you want because you have to run away, and even Gasol will be in danger. Do you mind?”

At this question, Ouyang Xiao’s expression hardened for a moment.

Sure, he can survive right now, but the organization will try to get rid of him somehow, and will target Gasol who hasn’t escaped yet to find him.

If everything had gone according to the original plan, it could have disappeared quietly, but it went wrong.

How should I do this?

Ouyangso sighed in frustration at the complicated situation.

“ha……”

Mok Gyeong-un said to him.

“But it doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.”

“Is there a way?”

“yes. “It will be resolved if I just die.”

“what?”

Ouyangso was dumbfounded by Mo Kyung-un’s answer.

What does it mean to talk as if there is a solution and then end up dying yourself?

Mok Kyung-un raised the corner of his mouth and said to him who was embarrassed.

“It hurts quite a bit, but you can handle the pain of having your skin peel off, right?”

‘!?’

* * *

-Shoot!

Although the rain had weakened a little, the rain was still pouring down.

Yi Guang of the Second Realm looked somewhat nervously in the direction where Ouyang Xiao, the head of the Ouyang family, had fled.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand it.

It would be difficult for that old man to betray the organization because it was as if his granddaughter was being held hostage.

Of course, he thought he could give in because his life depended on it, but Guyangso, whom he had been watching, was not a small vessel.

Why on earth did I work so hard to survive?

Didn’t he even run away?

It was a moment when I was thinking.

Someone appeared through the bushes.

-with a splash! with a splash!

The man walking through the stagnant rainwater was none other than Mok Gyeong-un.

When Mok Kyung-un appeared, Lee Gwang’s eyes naturally turned somewhere, and that was to something he was holding in his right hand.

When he saw that, the corners of Lee Gwang’s mouth went up.

‘indeed! indeed! indeed!’

The reason he reacted this way was simple.

This was because what was held in Mo Qingyun’s hand was none other than Ouyang Xiao’s severed head.

The sight of a dead body with its tongue hanging out was truly horrific.

‘This guy really is a thing.’

He was the one who assumed the situation of missing out or letting go.

However, he was brought back with his head cut off very cleanly.

Since he had reached the rank of Grand Master, he was able to easily catch up and punish the traitor even though he was relaxed.

‘it’s okay.’

At this rate, even though he lost Guyangso, he will be satisfied.

Because we got a talent that was even better than that.

“Is this enough?”

-thud! with a splash!

Mok Gyeong-un threw Gu Yang-so’s head close to Lee Gwang.

Lee Kwang couldn’t help but admire the sight of him sticking out his tongue but showing no particular expression, as if he didn’t know he was dead.

I still don’t understand the speed of this development, but it’s truly amazing.

Even the master of Hwagyeong was treated like this.

“You worked hard. “The leader of the organization will also praise your efforts.”

“I don’t need to praise you, I just want you to give me what I want.”

“Don’t worry. As you say, if it doesn’t cause any questions about him or interfere with the organization’s work, he will definitely listen to you.”

“I would appreciate it if you could.”

“Cancer is natural.”

“Then I guess I don’t need this anymore.”

With those words, Mok Gyeong-un walked over and,

-Kwasik!

“W-what now…..”

Without any time to stop him, Mo Qingyun stepped on Ouyang Xiao’s head and crushed it.

Lee Gwang was speechless at this sight.

Of course, he said he confirmed it with his own eyes, but he was trying to confirm it by taking the supply and demand.

But since I crushed it, it became impossible to do that.

Lee Gwang, who was dumbfounded by Mok Gyeong-un’s hasty actions, clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘under!’

If he were just a subordinate, I would have pushed him hard, but this guy had monstrous potential, reaching the level of a great master without even meeting the terms of service.

There was no doubt that He would be moderate.

It already started on bad terms, but there was no benefit in having our faces turn red because we were reprimanding each other for something like this.

“Is there a problem?”

“……No.”

Mok Kyung-un twitched his lips at the sight of him giving up without saying anything.

He had somewhat predicted that he would come out like this.

As a result, Guyangso became a dead person to them, and there was no way to confirm that he was a corpse anymore.

An image of Ouyang Xiao being frightened appeared in Mo Qingyun’s mind.

* * *

Ouyang Xiao asked in surprise.

[No, are you going to skin Nobu’s face?]

[yes.]

[Are you serious?]

[yes. It may be a little painful, but if you can’t break up with them by sacrificing one of your faces, isn’t it a cheap price to pay?]

[No, how on earth can you fool Lee Gwang with just the skin on his face? I will never believe you unless you cut off my head.]

[Even if not, there is one thing worth writing about.]

Mok Gyeong-un, who said that, brought something that was far away.

It was the severed head of a dead masked man.

While chasing Gu Yang-so, he found two masked people running away and cut off their heads in one go.

[What on earth is that?]

[I want to put an old man’s face on this head.]

‘!!!!!’

Gu Yang Xiao heard this and couldn’t help but be surprised.

[no. Do you know how to make human skin masks?]

[yes. Well, it’s not that difficult. Especially if you peel off the face of a living person.]

At these words, Ouyangshao was speechless as he held his tongue.

What exactly is this guy’s abilities?

* * *

Although he was appalled by the idea of ​​skinning his face, Ouyangso ultimately accepted Mokgyeongun’s offer because he thought this was the only way to be free from them.

Of course, this proposal also came with some costs.

As a result, the plan could be said to have been completed successfully because Lee Gwang was fooled.

However, Lee Gwang cautiously opened his mouth.

“More than that, we are now part of a family. Can you relieve the energy in the lower body as well?”

Lee Gwang pointed to his lower body with a glance.

While Mo Kyung-un went to catch Gu Yang-so, he was trying to relieve the energy that continued to invade his lower body.

However, although some of the energy could be released, it could not be completely relieved, so the muscles still could not recover.

“Is there anything difficult? But before that, can you first give me information about the person I want?”

Lee Gwang frowned at Mok Gyeong-un’s words.

What’s the point of saying you want to join the organization and then trying to bargain with your lower body?

Lee Gwang, who had some doubts, said.

“Don’t you trust me?”

“Not yet.”

Lee Gwang’s eyes narrowed when he heard those words.

I was so excited by the thought that such a great guy could be praised for his contributions, so I put aside my doubts for a moment.

But the current conversation raised my suspicions a little more.

If he was just pretending to join to get information, the worst could have happened.

At this, Lee Gwang cautiously opened his mouth.

“Right. But it’s the same here too. “If you only get the information you want, wouldn’t you be able to kill me?”

“You said you were going to be flexible.”

“How can I believe that?”

“I even killed an old man who used poison attacks as I wanted, but he came out pretty tired. “If this happens, we’ll be in quite a bit of trouble.”

With those words, Mok Kyung-un expressed his slight intimidation.

Then Lee Gwang spoke with a slightly pale face due to the pressure.

“If you do it, prove it one more thing.”

“What and how do I prove it?”

“Allow me to send the Holy Spirit Pearl through your subordinates first. Instead, since I need your help anyway, I will stay here with you for five days.”

Mok Kyung-un snorted inwardly at his suggestion.

Isa was also more intelligent than I thought.

You can see that they are preparing for an emergency and trying to achieve what they want.

Lee Gwang stared at Mok Gyeong-un.

If they don’t gladly accept this offer, the statement about him joining their organization is a complete lie.

‘How are you going to get out?’

I looked at the reaction,

“Well, if you can prove it, then do it.”

Mo Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders and willingly accepted it without any hesitation.

Then Lee Gwang couldn’t help but feel doubtful.

‘…Was it rain?’

Did I doubt myself too much?

The guy continued to listen to his requests without saying anything.

furthermore,

“Can I send it right now?”

Mok Gyeong-un withdrew his magic from around him and shouted while gesturing with his hands.

“Please bring the old man here.”

The subordinates who were waiting and guarding the area around the lodgings were puzzled by Mok Gyeong-un’s order, but soon Seop-chun came closer, bringing the Seonghwa Spiritual Spray.

But something happened here that caught Mok Gyeong-un’s interest.

When the Holy Spirit discovered Lee Gwang, his complexion darkened with a stern face, as if he knew him.

Likewise, does Lee Gwang also know her?

“Seonghwa Spirit Spell. long time no see.”

“……..”

The Holy Fire Lord avoided eye contact and kept his mouth shut.

Lee Gwang chuckled at that sight and then called out to the surviving masked men with a wave of his hand.

As they approached, Lee Kwang spoke to her.

“Where is the thing of prophecy?”

“……..”

At that question, the Seonghwa Spiritual Lord kept his mouth shut even more.

Then Lee Gwang shook his head and spoke in a low voice.

“Do you think we couldn’t find Jang Ho-beop, or rather that old man, Munno?”

‘!?’

As soon as he finished saying those words, Mok Kyung-un’s eyes became sharp.

‘Moon……no?’

That was my grandfather’s name.

martial arts,
