Hwang (轟) 4
As we were bewildered by the screams of pain and the light of the approaching torches, a warrior flying towards us from atop a low hill let out an urgent cry.
“Bugakju! It seems like it’s an attack by the Blood Cultists. They’re coming from all directions! It seems like someone from the reconnaissance team has been captured and the location of the contact point has been discovered!”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Before we arrived here, the location of the contact point had already been discovered and the guys had set up camp, as the old woman Seol had worried, but the timing of the attack coincided with our arrival.
With the warrior’s shout, three or four more people jumped out of the wolf’s den, looked at the relief with surprised faces, and shouted.
“Focus!”
“Bukuju, what are you going to do!?”
“Order!”
Then, the chief inspector took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom and, with a determined look in his eyes, quickly put them into Geombong’s hands.
“Sword Sword, I ask you to do that!”
“What is this?”
It is clear that this is a compilation of information that has been gathered, but it is shown that it is being handed over to Geombong.
“This is a map that shows where the Blood Cult’s base is expected to be based on the information we’ve collected so far. We must definitely deliver this to the leader!”
“How can you do this to me? Your Majesty!?”
“If something like this happens, isn’t it the job of older people like us to save the young people?”
“That, that kind of···.”
The tone of voice made it sound like he was going to sacrifice himself for us.
The guard, who had been looking around our group, continued speaking with a bitter smile.
“We can’t afford to lose two dragons, one phoenix, and even one flower here. Aren’t you the future of martial arts? We’ll lure them out, so come back alive and meet me at the martial arts alliance. Now! Everyone, follow me!”
“Yes! Footnote!”
“let’s go!”
Then he led five of his warriors forward and shouted again.
“Everyone, open the blood route! You guys, wait here and head south.”
‘South? Not north?’
The place we should escape to is the north where Yunnan is, but the warning tells us to head south.
When I made a questioning expression, Hwa-eun grabbed my wrist and said.
“It’s to catch the enemy off guard. The Blood Cultists naturally thought we would flee north to Yunnan, so they gathered their troops there. So while the Lord of the Underworld is heading north and the attention is focused on us, we should escape south.”
‘Oh my.’
Surprised that such a thought had occurred to him in such a short moment, he followed Hwa-eun to the wolf’s den.
As I held my breath in front of the wolf’s den and checked my surroundings, soon the sound of clashing weapons and people screaming and shouting could be heard from afar.
-Chaekang!
“Oh, it’s the north!”
“Kwaaaaak!”
“The Murim Alliance is trying to break through to the north!”
Then, just as Hwa-eun had said, the torches surrounding the area began to distort.
The torches in the south are becoming rare and the torches are starting to move towards the north.
It was when the torch began to follow the group of bujos toward the north.
A shadow suddenly appears in front of me, Hwa-eun, and Seol-nu.
The sun had set, and the light shining from afar was blocked by something, so everything in front of me suddenly got dark. I wondered what the sudden darkness was, and it turned out to be the back of my big brother, Gyu-seong.
In the darkness, Brother Gyu-seong’s thick voice was heard.
“I will take the lead, Changryong and Geombong will follow behind, Soryong, follow behind! Dokhwa and Sojeo Seol, please take the rear.”
Was it really that reassuring to say that tanks take the lead?
As the three of us nodded, Gyu-seong’s large body shot south like a wild bear.
And the swordsman and the dragon follow behind.
-Whoa!
The grass that had grown to the level of his head swayed left and right as Gyuseong hyung ran like a bulldozer, and a long road continued behind him.
Did you run like that for twenty or thirty meters?
My brother’s cry is heard softly.
[Something is coming!]
-Whoa.
-Thump thump.
As my brother said, from the other side, there was a sound of grass rustling and a light was approaching. My brother immediately turned in that direction and flew towards the leader who was approaching while rustling the long grass.
“There’s something approaching here… Hey! Murim!”
-Tsk!
“Sob···.”
The body of Gyuseong hyung, who had jumped out without stopping, hit the guy in front.
We jumped out onto the grass where the man had already laid down, and what we encountered was blood spurting from the mouth of a man who had dropped the torch he was holding.
The guy who was coming at me was flying backwards, spraying blood as if he had been hit by a truck.
And then the torch he had missed shot up over his head, brightening the surroundings for a split second before being enveloped in darkness.
A dozen or so Blood Cultists stopped in bewilderment at the sight.
The look of bewilderment at our sudden appearance is evident.
At the same time, the sword and spear that had been hiding behind the big body of my brother jumped out from the left and right, and began to pierce and cut down the chests and necks of the men in red uniforms on the left and right of the one that flew away.
-Whew!
-Crunch!
I feel like I’ve matched this kind of combination a lot.
A spear shot from the hand of Changryong, who thought it was naive, pierced through a man’s neck, and Geombong’s sword, flashing in the moonlight, cut the necks of the warriors.
“W, Wulin… Keuk!”

“Ugh.”
“No Murim Alliance!”
-Seeing!
One of the confused guys came to his senses and tried to alert the surroundings of our presence with something like a whistle, but there was a sharp sound and a silver dot shining on his forehead.
“Ugh···.”
“Kreurup···.”
The poisonous needles that flew from Hwa-eun’s hand were stuck in the foreheads of the Blood Cult warriors.
A dozen or so blood cult members were quickly sorted out.
My brother raised his head, checked his surroundings once more, looked at a place where the torch light was not visible, and spoke.
“Good! I’ll ask you to take care of that guy in the future.”
“yes.”
A tank takes the lead, and two melee attackers provide support.
And deal with remaining mobs with long-range attacks.
I like the feeling of Hwa-eun’s attack added to the three’s flowing connection.
As the commotion of the fight began and I saw the torches surrounding us gathering towards us, my brother started shooting forward again.
***
After the first clash, the same thing happened twice or so, and it seemed like we had escaped the encirclement.
The point where the long grass that reached up to head height ends.
What greeted us as we stepped out into the grass was a bustling cult.
There were about a hundred Blood Cultists waiting for us, without even lighting their torches under the moonlight.
It seems like we were trying to catch them off guard, and we caught them off guard.
The older brother who had been running ahead stopped with a look of bewilderment.
“What a disaster!”
Then, a man walking out from among the Blood Cult guys spoke with an excited expression.
“Hehehe, was the North really a place of attraction? There are three women here, all of whom are half and half. I guess I can enjoy myself.”
We were momentarily taken aback by the sight of these guys appearing as if they had been waiting for us.
The sight of the guy licking his lips made me feel angry.
Because that bastard had his eyes fixed on Hwa-eun’s appearance.
Then, as if urging an order, the bastard continued to say things he shouldn’t have said.
“Kill all the men and capture the women! And, hehehe… I’ll catch that bitch myself.”
At that sound, Hwa-eun’s face turned red with anger and shame.
I immediately shouted in my heart.
Because now seemed like the time to call the shots.
Because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to feel better without distorting that face.
‘Hey! Beat up all these bad guys!’
Then, what came to my mind was the feeling that it was hard to wait until now and the shout of the elders telling me to step back.
He shouted straight at his companions.
“Brother! You have to step back! It’s coming!”
“You’re coming!?”
As we took a few steps back in shock at my shout, the one who had been revealing his intentions towards Hwa-eun was also surprised and took a few steps back with the other blood cult members.
But when he looked around and saw no change, he snickered and said.
“Oh, you fooled me with that kid’s words. I don’t know where the four of you came from, but there’s no one who’ll help you.
“Except for those of you who were banned, all the nine groups of Murim Alliance members are probably sucking blood from the underground prison right now.”
“That, that kind of thing!”
“I caught the first three and they started to blow really well. Hahaha.”
Geombong’s eyes widened when he heard that all of the Murim Alliance’s reconnaissance team had been captured by the Blood Cult.
And that was the moment when the guy who appeared to be the leader of the Blood Cult raised his hand to give the order to his warriors to attack.
-Bam.
The sound of the Blood Cultists shouting and the clashing of weapons can be heard from afar.
Through the gap, a distinct sound of something falling from the back of the hand of the man wearing the helmet could be heard.
-Thump. Thump. Thud thud thud.
Soon, water droplets began to fall from the sky, as if it was raining, just where the guys were standing.
“rain?”
The guy looked up at the sky with an expression on his face as if he was wondering if it was going to rain, but his face began to distort.
It wasn’t just that his expression was distorted, his face was literally starting to distort.
No, should I say it’s melting?
“Kkaaaah!”
A wave of self-reflection follows as those hit by the falling water droplets fall to the ground clutching their heads.
Other sect members around them also sat down and held their heads as if they were repenting as a group.
“Take it!”
“Kuaaaah!”
The eerie sound of a hundred people crying in pain filled the surroundings.
-thud!
-Tsrrrrrr!
As the grass that had come down between us and the bastards let out an angry roar, the bastards groaned and melted away as if they had been hit by a living thing.
‘Oh, crazy.’
Even I, who had called the first person, found it hard to believe, so I opened my eyes wide in surprise, and then I heard Hwa-eun’s blank voice from the side.
“The king of all the Five Heavenly Kings who occupies one of the ten poisons. The disaster of disasters, the Flying Heavenly King who flies in the sky and sprinkles the fog and rain of death.
Ha, that’s what my grandfather said. Lord, this is what the rain of death meant···.”
What’s strange is that the grass, the clothes they were wearing, and the weapons they were wearing were all still there, but their bodies were melting away.
It feels like something that is clearly not a substance that exists in nature.
Because no poison that I know of falls into this category.
Soon after confirming that all the guys had fallen, Choga came up to me and stuck his head out as if to ask for my praise for a job well done.
-Tsrrrr.
He said this while stroking Cho’s head with a blank expression.
“Hey, you shouldn’t drool on Mom and Dad, right?”
-Tsurut?
My grandfather said that I would be okay since I had absorbed the poison from the grass, but honestly, I was still scared.
Although the Tang dynasty’s poison is said to have the effect of providing resistance to poison taken in, it felt like even a single drop of saliva from the dagger would cause a hole to form somewhere.
Because it seemed like it wasn’t poison, but some other substance.
***
“What, what is this?”
Blood Wind Flying Serpent, the elder of the Blood Sect, Maechogui, looked at the traces of the hundred or so warriors who had disappeared, leaving behind only their weapons and clothing, with a blank expression.
This was because I never expected to suffer such losses while hunting down the six Murim Alliance guys and a few young guys.
The north that he was in charge of was hit by the mountain poison that the guys had created this time, but only three or so low-ranking warriors were injured.
Moreover, it was incomprehensible that they were all killed in one fell swoop.
What was here was the Blood Demon Lord, Gupungso, and 100 Blood Demon Lords.
Although he was an excellent tracker, he was only one of the five strongest of the eight great warriors of the Blood Cult.
Moreover, out of the three hundred members of his Bloodthirsty Force, one hundred disappeared with him.
“Haven’t they arrived yet?”
“Yes, Elder!”
“Are you planning to break this promise?”
It was when Maecho-gwi would be angry and blame someone for not arriving.
A cool voice comes from behind.
“Surely that’s not possible?”
As Maechogui stepped back and looked back, a pale-faced woman wearing black, flowing clothes was smiling at Maechogui.
I didn’t even know it was coming, but I was caught behind.
Maechogui shouted in anger.
“Everyone, from now on, don’t stand behind me!”
Then the woman answered with a bright smile.
“Yes, that’s right.”
The woman in front of you is the force that encountered this country at the border with the Central Plains when the Blood Cult withdrew from the Central Plains and settled in this country.
They were a force that we encountered while growing our power by preying on small villages on the border, but we had not yet recovered from the damage we had suffered in the Central Plains, so we rushed in without knowing what was going on and suffered great losses at their hands.
However, there were those who were initially hostile, but when they learned that they harbored a great grudge against the Central Plains, they proposed an alliance.
They called themselves the Lords of the Five Poisons.
Later I found out that he was a descendant of Odokmun.
-Whew!
Maecho-gwi, who was still angry at the situation where he felt like he was being teased, revealed the history of the magnetic bottle in his arms.
A woman who sent a message but received it gently.
The woman who had caught the poison in her hand dropped the poison from the vial onto her fingertips and savored the taste with her lips.
And then, as expected, he answered with a smile.
“Hmm… As expected, it’s Hoban Yusa’s poison. Didn’t we do that? That martial arts technique has a weakness?”
“Damn, is it finally known?”
As the woman warned me before, the poison of the lake ash was indeed there.
When he heard that there was no antidote, it was best to keep it a secret from the other elders except for the elder, the priestess, and himself who handled the information, but as expected, the Central Plains guys had found a weakness.
It was at this time that Maechogui had a defeated expression on his face, feeling that it would not be easy to infiltrate the Central Plains again.
Magnetic sickness flying back again.
“What the heck! Huh? What is this?”
Maecho-gwi was furious, thinking that he was joking again, but it was a different magnetic bottle than the one he had thrown.
When I took it and asked, the woman answered with a smiling face.
“The cancellation of the lakeside yusha.”
“What!? Wow, you’re saying it’s finished!?”
“Of course. Because we keep our promises. Unlike others.”
What he’s talking about now is probably the story of the blood-clotting hawk with a forked claw and the Goocheonak hitting the Tangga.
They were preparing to raid the party over there, and they said it got harder because of that guy.
First of all, I apologized even though I didn’t feel like it every time.
If you’ve completed the cancellation, you’ll have a reason to bow your head.
“We obviously apologized for that. We didn’t know how he would move either.”
“Well, that’s true. But why did you call me?”
“Oh, right, look at this. It looks like poison. I don’t know what it is.”
It was the moment when the retreating Maecho ears showed the scene where they had melted.
The woman with her eyes wide open began to crawl on the floor.
And after a while, he shouted in a surprised voice as if he had found something.
“Hey, One Poison Lord! He may still be young, but he is definitely One Poison Lord! Will the heavens listen to the wishes of our Five Poison Lord! Call the Toad Troops and bring out the Gwang!”
At the woman’s command, figures rose up around her, knelt down, and began to fly.
