Chapter 313 – Little One (2)
Strength flowed through the fingertips that lightly stretched out.
When the heavy foot was planted on the ground, the gap was taken away.
Il-gwi felt like shouting out how someone who hadn’t even reached their peak could change so much in less than a year.
But when he saw the sight of Sam-gwi stabbing his sword and the Sa-nae pushing it away with the back of his hand, he realized that he didn’t have the luxury to do so and had to quickly intervene.
“Tsk…”
His sword moved quickly as he aimed for Sa-nae’s arm, and with a clicking sound, his strength gathered and his body spun like a top.
Although they were able to gain a slight advantage thanks to the two of them attacking together, Sa-nae had already reached a higher level than the two of them.
Moreover, Sam-gwi had lost his venomous swordsmanship and was unable to use his martial arts to their full potential, so he was always in danger whenever there was a chance.
“What are you doing?! Are you just going to watch as the meeting is ruined?!”
Il-gwi sent a message to Nok-ryeong, who was watching from afar, but she was just watching and didn’t seem to have any intention of helping, which made him go crazy.
If she stepped forward, she could easily overturn this ridiculous situation, but he couldn’t understand what she was thinking.
“This bastard…! How dare you…!”
Sam-gwi, who was attacking recklessly due to losing his venomous swordsmanship, often found himself in danger because of it.
“Stupid fool!”
The subordinates with Fahrenheit characters had caught him. If he calmly cooperated, he could win, but since Sam-gwi couldn’t do that, Il-gwi was also in a situation where he had to be involved.
When the movement of the sword became sluggish due to the close-range burst of energy, Il-gwi saw the moment when the opponent kicked Sam-gwi’s wrist and quickly attacked the enemy’s back.
Shi-aaak
“What…?”
At that moment, he saw Sa-nae turning his body backward as if he had expected it, kicking Sam-gwi’s wrist and hitting himself with the new form at the same time. Il-gwi quickly pulled out his sword and defended against the powerful energy pouring out.
Kkagagagang
“Ugh…!”
Il-gwi barely blocked the barrage of energy pouring out, while keeping his distance from Sam-gwi, who was knocked down without a chance to react, and had to let out a groan.
The trembling sword was not just a problem of enlightenment, but also a clear evidence of the gap in their strength.
“This is…”
Although he looked somewhat regretful as a Sa-nae who had a pretty powerful trick up his sleeve, it was not at all comforting for Il-gwi.
The guy had declared that he could aim for him at any time, even if he was aiming for Sam-gwi.
If only the subordinates could quickly handle the Fahrenheit characters and come up, but due to the one person who was hiding somewhere and throwing off their memorization, the movements of the subordinates were not free.
‘Is it because he’s the disciple of the world’s best…!’
The one-shot that stretched out like a mudfish between the two people was so heavy that it was unbearable.
Due to the occasional release of the melodious wind, it was a bonus to have to look not only in front of you but also above, below, and to the side.
It would have been better if it was Il-gwi who was left instead of Sam-gwi, but it was too late to regret.
“Ugh…!”
At that moment, the Fahrenheit characters groaned and began to stagger. Seeing that, Sa-nae flew his body to protect him, but the two of them grabbed him with all their might.
If they could just get rid of the Fahrenheit characters who were holding the subordinates, this guy could be finished quickly.
When the Fahrenheit characters, who were shaking the subordinates with electric shocks, began to stagger, the subordinates also bravely rushed in.
“Gotcha!”
While Sa-nae briefly glanced away, Il-gwi and Sam-gwi attacked Sa-nae from the front and back at the same time.
Il-gwi’s sword cut Sa-nae’s leg, and Sam-gwi’s sword aimed at his upper body and stabbed him in several places. Sa-nae thought he would have to give up at least one leg.
Savage.
“I cut… no?!”
He clearly cut Sa-nae’s leg, but he felt no sensation in his hand. This sensation, which was barely perceptible, was just a touch…
“Big!”
“Already…!”
The moment he realized that Sa-nae’s leg he had cut was just an illusion, Sa-nae was already standing next to the Fahrenheit characters.
As he swung his arms and legs at the same speed, the subordinates flew like autumn leaves, and every time one person flew, the sound of drums beating echoed in all directions.
“Stop!”
“You’re the ones who should stop.”
Clearly, they were the ones with the advantage. Even if Sa-nae flew as much as he wanted, his strength was not infinite, and they had more numbers.
Moreover, if half of the forces sent to search the surroundings returned, they would be dead.
But the face of that little one was so arrogant that it was unbearable, causing a strange sense of unease.
“Anyway, the Fahrenheit characters can no longer use martial arts! We just have to kill that guy! We’ll take the lead, and you guys…!”
“Ugh…!”
Thump thump.
The people who had been beaten up by Sa-nae and scattered around here and there stood up at Il-gwi’s shout, but then fell down again.
Once again, he had fallen victim to memorization, but the foaming at the mouth was not a good sign.
“Is this… poison?!”
“I don’t know. What could it be?”
A hazy mist began to rise from Sa-nae’s feet as he spoke like administering medicine, and his vision gradually became obstructed, making it difficult to breathe.
Il-gwi immediately raised his inner strength to prevent the poison from penetrating his body.
“Stop breathing and get out of here!”
Il-gwi inwardly sneered at the foolish choice. They could use this poison to disturb their vision and aim to make them weak, but if they didn’t cooperate with them in this game, it would be over.
Even if the enemies were protesting and holding out inside by taking an antidote, they would be at a disadvantage when the remaining half of their forces returned.
At that time, they could try to withstand this poison, but they would be overwhelmed by their overwhelming power.
“Ugh!”
“Don’t bother with him! He can’t do much in a place where he can’t see! Focus on protecting yourself!”
But Il-gwi was wrong about two things.
One was that the half of their forces he thought were still holding out were already being crushed by Fahrenheit’s retaliation, led by women like Pang Yeon-hwa.
The other was that Kang Yoon had not simply spread poison as a time-wasting tactic.
“No! I can’t get out…! Aaah!”
“Big! Something seems to be wrong!”
Il-gwi realized that even in this limited visibility, the sound of subordinates being subdued at a rapid pace was coming through.
“Stop for now! Gather with your colleagues around and defend against him!”
But due to their strong inner strength, the subordinates were unable to communicate properly, even holding their breath, and could not fight together in this mist.
They had to find Sa-nae quickly and stop him. If the two brothers didn’t step up and stop Kang Yoon, dozens of subordinates could have died in his hands.
“This bastard! Where are you?! Let’s fight fairly instead of just attacking defenseless people like rats!”
[This bastard who attacks someone else’s house while living well is talking about fighting fairly.]
Il-gwi’s face turned red at the voice ringing in his ears, but he suddenly realized something strange.
‘How did they find out that I’m here?’
If he hadn’t learned the technique of Six Harmonies and could only use his voice, his location would have been exposed, but when he looked around, Il-gwi, whose vision had cleared, could finally see the strange point.
“Jin-beop! It’s Jin-beop! What a stupid mistake!”
This was not just a simple poison. At first, they intentionally poisoned a few people to distract them with the fact that it was poison.
“Samje!”
“Understood!”
At Il-gwi’s command, Sam-gwi began to move.
Someone was controlling Jin-beop. Sam-gwi started moving to find him, and if they could eliminate him, this damn poison would be lifted.
Meanwhile, Il-gwi chased after Kang Yoon with his sword tightly gripped.
Dang Hye-won sensitively noticed that the enemies’ movements had changed.
‘Have they finally caught on…?’
She had come prepared for the fight, so the amount of memorization and poison she had prepared was considerable, but it was somewhat lacking to use against dozens of enemies.
However, this was Fahrenheit’s territory. Having heard from Ju-yak-seon about the existence of the machine room, she learned the operation methods of Jin-beop and Hwan-mu-jin through So-seong and Jeon-eum.
Her job was to sprinkle poison into each element on the spot, preventing the enemies from moving recklessly and guiding the fog to not interfere with Kang Yoon’s movements.
“Oh, it’s inconvenient to come this way.”
Occasionally, those who came too close without realizing it were stuck with a hickey, not knowing what they had seen, and died.
Regardless of her own personality, memorization martial arts were a martial art that she must kill the opponent the moment she faces them, or she would be in danger of being killed.
That was why there was no hesitation in her touch, sending memorization to her eyebrows or carotid artery.
However, if the enemies noticed her existence and came to eliminate her, it would not be as easy as it was now. Therefore, she prepared to bring out her secret memorization that she had saved up until now.
“You bastard! Where are you?! Come out!”
She would have come out obediently if he had said so, but the enemies were scattering the fog in all directions with their swords, so she was about to be exposed.
If they kept swinging their swords so indiscriminately in a place where they couldn’t see anything, their subordinates would die one by one. It was unclear whether to call them sapa or not, seeing how they didn’t seem to care at all.
“You bitch! Your sister was controlling Jin-beop?”
Seeing the wild-eyed inspector who discovered her, Dang Hye-won gathered her eyebrows.
If it had been before, she wouldn’t have had the courage to face such a high-level martial artist, but now that she had reached the peak and continued to practice martial arts, she had confidence in winning.
[Hye-won, are you okay?]
[I’m fine. If it seems really dangerous, I’ll ask for your help.]
Although her husband’s voice sounded worried, Dang Hye-won replied with a spirited voice.
Even if they had a slight advantage now, the fact remained that they were outnumbered. It was natural to try to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible when the opportunity arose.
That’s why it was better for Kang Yoon to focus on eliminating the enemy’s lower-ranked warriors rather than helping her here.
If the opponent was so strong that they couldn’t handle it, it would be a different story, but Kang Yoon was confident that she could handle this level of enemy, so that was the decision she made.
“Don’t try to hold on when it gets dangerous. Taking care of yourself first is our family motto.”
“Since when?”
“From now on.”
“Phew.”
“This woman… is she laughing?”
Sam-gwi thought she was being mocked and growled, but Dang Hye-won felt more relaxed with a single laugh.
As her sleeves fell, she felt the light touch of the memorization “iljeonhong” on her hand, which made her feel more secure.
Facing Sam-gwi, who charged at her like a wild boar, Dang Hye-won first sent out a mist and started the collision.
