<-- Episode 80: Chapter 2 The Swordsman from the North (2) -->
Again!
A drop of blood flowed down the sword body.
People looked at it with bated breath. I could see strangely vivid blood sliding down the sword body.
The blood on the tip of the sword trembled dangerously, as if it would fall at any moment. Power naturally went into the hands of those who looked at it.
Pop!
“ah!”
And when the blood drops finally fell to the floor, exclamations erupted from people’s mouths without them knowing.
Those who had been unconsciously mesmerized by the unrealistic scene finally returned to the real world.
“Ugh!”
Namgunwi’s face was distorted miserably. He knelt on one knee and used the broken Bangcheon Hwageuk as support to barely fall. His side had a long crack and fresh blood was flowing out.
The thrilling pain running down my spine wasn’t the problem.
‘when?’
Namgunwi’s eyes were shaking with disbelief.
What’s more shocking than the fact that his boasted invincibility was broken is that he was hurt without even knowing how he was hurt.
I felt no sound, no trace, or any sign of anything.
It was as if I had been hit by an invisible sword.
‘The perfect assassin’s sword.’
The only difference is that while the assassin hides and targets the enemy, Jin Mu-won confronts him head-on. That’s why it was even more shocking.
Jin Mu-won caught his breath. His face was flushed red.
Dancheonhae is a herbivore that best utilizes the characteristics of shadow resistance. There is no form, no trace. It was the swordsmanship of an assassin who hides in the shadow of his opponent and cuts off his breath.
By the time the other person noticed, it was already too late. Like the current Namgunwi.
The only thing that is disappointing is that Jin Moo-won’s breathing was a little off as it was his first time playing in real life. Otherwise, this one move would have completely suffocated the Namgunwi.
Jin Mu-won asked.
“Can you answer me now? “Is the disappearance of the White Dragon Company related to where you belong?”
Namgunwi glared at Jinmuwon with his lips tightly pursed.
He stood quietly with a calm expression as if he had nothing to do with the changes in the world, but that was not his true appearance.
He was a sword.
A sharp, well-forged, deadly sword.
Namgunwi answered without realizing it.
“Yes.”
“As expected.”
“You won’t get more than one answer from me.”
“We’ll just have to wait and see.”
Jin Mu-won walked towards Namgunwi.
He never intended for it to end at this level. He intended to find out the truth by completely subduing the Confederate army. After reading Jin Mu-won’s thoughts, Nam Gun-wi’s expression became even harder.
It was that moment.
ping!
Suddenly, a sharp sound rang in my ears.
Jin Mu-won, who was about to swing his sword, felt something ominous and threw himself backwards. At that moment, an arrow hit the spot where he was. There was a leather pouch attached to the arrow, which tore on impact when it hit the ground and started spewing out acrid green smoke.
Yongmuseong was the first to sense something strange and covered his mouth with his sleeve and shouted.
“It’s poison! “Everyone, step back!”
At his shout, the warriors of the Iron Gidang and the staff of the White Dragon Sangdan quickly retreated. However, some were too slow to avoid it and ended up falling victim to poisonous smoke.
“Ugh!”
The soldiers, covered in poisonous smoke, fell down and suffered while holding their necks.
Jin Mu-won stopped breathing and tried to move forward. But at that moment, arrows flew towards him one after another.
Awesome!
The power contained in the arrow was so strong that Jin Mu-won felt goosebumps rising. Instead of blocking the arrow, he dodged it and rushed forward.
Puff!
Two arrows hit the spot where he had been standing. It was fired with such force that even its tail feathers were stuck in the ground and were trembling.
“Tsk!”
Jin Mu-won’s expression hardened as he emerged from the poisonous smoke. This is because the Southern Military Committee and the Red Ghost Army have already disappeared and are no longer visible. In that brief moment, all the enemies retreated.
“phew!”
Sighs of relief came from everywhere. It was exploded by the soldiers of the Baekryong upper class who believed that she was out of danger. Although they did not express it, the warriors of the Iron Gidang felt the same way.
Yong Mu-seong approached Jin Mu-won.
“Look, we… … .”
At that moment, Jin Mu-won threw himself away. This was the direction where the Southern Army and the Red Ghost Army disappeared.
“Well, I… … .”
Yong Wu-seong could not speak and just stared at the scene blankly with his mouth open. Looking at that, Tang Mi-ryeo shook his head.
“It seems like he has no intention of letting them go like this.”
“Mmm!”
Tang Mi-ryeo stared blankly in the direction where Jin Mu-won had disappeared. Turmoil was swirling in her eyes.
Every time Jin Mu-won took a step, the surrounding scenery was instantly pushed back.
Goryubo (溪流步).
It was the walking method that was once taught to Somusang. However, the mountain stream bow that Jin Mu-won was performing now was completely different from the one he had taught to So Musang. In the meantime, Jin Mu-won developed it in his own way.
There was no sound and no sign. Just like water flowing silently, Jin Mu-won was tracing the traces of Namgunwi, melting into the wind.
Although it was blurry, traces of the Confederate Army and the Red Ghost Army remained on the floor. Based on the direction in which the blades of grass were bent and the faint traces of footprints, Jin Mu-won was catching up with Nam Gun-wi and others at an alarming speed.
‘If we want to find out Hwang-suk’s whereabouts, we must catch him.’

Jin Mu-won gritted his teeth.
Although I did not know the identity of the organization that the Southern Military Committee belonged to, I could sufficiently guess that they possessed tremendous power. The longer he dragged on against such a group, the more disadvantaged he was.
On the other hand, it was true that I was curious about the identity of the organization to which the Southern Military Committee belonged. What they are doing now in Yunnan Province was enough to attract the attention of not only the Hegemony Association but also the entire Jianghu region.
Perhaps it was intentional to focus Kang Ho’s attention on Yunnan Province. That means that they are planning something against the entire Gangho, and it suggests that they have the capabilities to do so.
‘perhaps… … .’
Jin Mu-won came up with one assumption. That alone made his heart pound violently.
It was then.
Jin Mu-won suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety. He instinctively lowered his head as it felt as if an awl was poking his head.
Peeeeee!
At that moment, something passed over his bowed head with a sharp sound.
‘arrow?’
The long, trembling object lodged in the tree behind Jinmuwon was clearly an arrow.
The arrow flew faster than sound.
If my omnidirectional senses hadn’t warned me, I would have died without even knowing what happened.
The unknown archer who was helping save Namgunwi noticed Jinmuwon’s pursuit and set out to buy time. While he was holding on to Jin Mu-won’s ankles, the Southern Army and the Red Ghost Soldiers would be moving away from here.
Jin Mu-won felt cold sweat running down his back and his senses in all directions became more sensitive.
Another arrow flew. This time, three planes flew in almost at the same time. It seemed like everything happened all at once, with almost no time difference. It was a scary speaker.
Chop! Chop!
Jinmuwon swung his snowflake and struck down all the flying arrows. The power contained in the arrow was unusual for the hand holding the snowflake to be numb.
His skill was comparable to that of Dam Jinhong, the archer of the Iron Guard, Nakil Iron Palace.
Sasasak!
The unknown enemy was moving at high speed and firing arrow after arrow at Jin Mu-won. That made it difficult to guess where he was hiding. But Jin Mu-won had omnidirectional sense.
Although the exact location could not be determined, the approximate direction was sufficiently detectable.
Hiss!
At some point, Jinmuwon changed direction and stretched out in a straight line. It was a place with unusually thick bushes and dense cedar trees.
“Huh!”
At that moment, someone shouted nonsense. The unknown archer, surprised by the sight of Jin Mu-won running in the exact direction, burst out in a panic.
ping! Peeeeee!
An unknown archer fired arrows one after another to stop Jin Mu-won.
It was a sharp yet powerful attack like the teeth of a viper. No matter how much Jin Mu-won he was, it didn’t seem easy to take it head on. However, Jin Mu-won chose to attack instead of avoiding this time.
Sigh!
His sword drew a dark trace in the air. The arrows caught in their tracks lost their strength and fell to the ground.
At that moment, Jin Mu-won felt a slight movement. It was the sound of an unknown archer moving. As before, the plan is to surround Jinmuwon with arrows and then hide.
Jin Mu-won turned his body around his left foot and launched himself first toward the direction the unknown archer was moving.
“omg!”
The moment the snowflake cleared the air, the sound of a blustering wind came from the bushes.
The thick bushes that were blocking the view were cut down by the snowflakes and scattered into the air, and the unknown archer who had been attacking Jinmuwon while hiding his identity until now was revealed.
He was a short man who appeared to be in his mid to late forties. He had broad shoulders that did not match his height of about the average person’s chest, and a purple bow in his stocky hand.
“Ugh!”
A look of embarrassment appears on his face.
His specialty was assassinating enemies from a distance. The number of people he killed with a single purple iron bow was well over three orders of magnitude. While he killed so many people, his identity was never discovered.
‘Where did such a monster come from…? … .’
The sense and sharp judgment to find where he is hiding in an instant, and the driving force and reckless momentum to rush forward without hesitation. There was nothing that was not dangerous.
Rest!
Jin Mu-won’s sword flew through the air.
The archer’s eyes clearly caught the sight of a radiant energy flowing through the ink-colored sword body.
“shit!”
The archer, who instinctively felt that he could not avoid it, raised his purple bow and blocked his front.
Kaang!
With a screeching sound, the archer’s body was pushed back, and deep scratches appeared in the purple typeface he was holding.
“Tsk!”
Without realizing it, the archer’s lips were squeezed and a suppressed moan escaped. Jin Mu-won’s one move caused his internal organs to be crushed.
Archer sensed that Jin Muwon’s next attack was coming.
‘I can’t stop it this time. then… … .’
For a moment, a malicious light appeared in his eyes.
Phew!
Jin Mu-won’s sword pierced his shoulder, and fresh blood splattered everywhere. He had no intention of killing. He tried to subdue them and find out who was behind them.
However, the archer who was stabbed by the sword instead spread his arms wide and hugged Jin Mu-won’s body.
“Hehe! “We will die together.”
He whispered into Jin Mu-won’s ear.
Jin Mu-won frowned at the creepy voice filled with murder. He, too, instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
Jin Mu-won released Archer’s arm and tried to come out. However, his arms tightly bound Jin Mu-won’s body like shackles.
Push!
Green smoke suddenly began to rise from the archer’s body.
‘no way?’
Jin Mu-won suddenly stopped breathing, drew up his energy, and released it to the outside. Then the archer’s arms opened slightly, creating a gap. Jin Mu-won slipped through them and widened the distance between him and the archer.
In a moment, the green smoke became thicker and began to melt the archer’s body. In an instant, the archer’s body melted like candle wax before Jin Muwon’s eyes.
“Ugh! “Since you interfered with our work, your end will not be good.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“Hehe! This is just the beginning… … . To the world, to the world… … .”
The archer’s voice, which had been reciting a curse, cut off. It was completely dissolved in poisonous smoke.
Jin Mu-won watched the scene with a miserable face.
Finally, the archer’s body turned into a handful of blood and disappeared, and the terrible miasma even melted the purple iron bow without a trace.
“In the end, we found out nothing.”
Jin Mu-won’s sighs were scattered by the wind.
