Chapter 25. This Is Somewhat Unfair (3)

It’s new again, but.......

Baek Sua is a beauty.

No, it is not awkward to say she is a peerless beauty.

Since she didn't come out of the Mount Hua Sect often, she wasn't known to the world, but anyone who saw her even once couldn't forget that appearance.

Thus, the title attached was Mount Hua's Unforgettable Flower.

She, who mass-produced numerous lovesickness patients, was already called the Number One Beauty of Shaanxi in Shaanxi.

Later, it was more so.

Before the supernatural ability called Dragon Eye was revealed.

As soon as she became active in the Jianghu, she made her name known with just her beauty.

She was also a figure who was always mentioned within ten fingers when gossips discussed the World's Best Beauty.

There was no way such a woman could hide her beauty just because she was wearing plain escort warrior clothes.

And as if it was natural, the water bandit bastard saw her dazzling beauty and went crazy.

‘If I knew this would happen, I should have worn a face veil.’

Baek Sua sighing.

Towards such her, the water bandit bastard spoke.

“Now, come here. Today, especially for you, I will exempt the toll.”

A deep furrow appeared between Baek Sua's eyebrows.

Her Dragon Eye is uncomfortable at times like this.

Because the explicit and base desire in the opponent's gaze looking at her was boldly visible.

Such an opponent makes her feel physiological disgust regardless of martial arts level.

“Uhahaha. Being shy is more charming. Come here. Tonight, very ho....... Keuk!”

Thwack!

Before the water bandit's words could continue, something flew and hit his face.

What flew was a water bowl rolling around in the middle of the cabin.

And the one who threw it was.......

“Listening and listening, bullshit should be moderate for me to listen.......”

“Kuk....... Who are you?”

“I am Han Cheong-un. Would you know if I say it?”

Han Cheong-un lifted his spear shaft with his instep and lightly grabbed it with his hand.

And then.......

“Since I am busy going my way, I wanted to ignore trivial small fry, but you won't do.”

“What did you say?”

The extremely angry water bandit raised his hand and signaled his subordinates.

Then, dozens of water bandits from the five ships drew their bows all at once.

“Say it one more time. You brat.”

At the triumphant appearance of the water bandit, Han Cheong-un smirked.

And then.......

“Escort Yun.”

“Speak.”

“I ask for the protection of the ship. It is okay to entrust it to you, right?”

“It is possible. But you.......”

“I will go warm up a bit.”

Having said that, Han Cheong-un stepped forward one step and called out with a strict voice.

“Dang Jin.”

“Yes. Sect Leader.”

Dang Jin also answered while straightening his posture and came out.

And Han Cheong-un said.......

“Just make a path to the ship. Then, I will wipe out those bastards.”

“Yes.”

Simultaneously with those words ending, Han Cheong-un sank his center deeply.

Then.......

Splash!

“Uh uh uh?”

“Uwaaak!”

The ship tilted greatly for a moment.

And the moment the rocking ship returned to its place.

Using that elasticity, Dang Jin threw his body over his head.

He flew higher than the water bandits' ship at once, and at the same time.......

“Eat this.”

Two streaks of silver flash were emitted from his fingertips.

“Keuak!”

“Aaak!”

That flash, which pierced two water bandits in an instant, did not stop there and embedded deeply into the mast on the water bandits' ship as it was.

Then he pulled the silver thread connected to the Silver Flowing Fly to make it taut and called Han Cheong-un.

“Sect Leader!”

As if waiting for those words, Han Cheong-un threw his body into the air.

And then.......

“Oh...... Oh oh?”

“Huk! That is?”

“Vo...... Vo...... Void Stepping?”

No.

Han Cheong-un stepped on the silver thread of Dang Jin's Silver Flowing Fly that was pulled taut and crossed forward.

Han Cheong-un, who arrived on the opponent's ship in an instant, grabbed the end of the spear with one hand and.......

Popopopopop!

“Keuk.......”

“Kueeeee.......”

Han Cheong-un's continuous stabbing like a flash.

It pierced seven water bandits in one breath.

And other water bandits pounced on Han Cheong-un who landed lightly on the deck.

“Kill him!”

“Push him off the ship!”

“Uwaaaaak!”

The water bandits knew.

No matter how much of a master, it is difficult to display one's skill in an unstable and limited space called a ship.

Actually, while doing water banditry, there are often cases of catching masters stronger than themselves.

They just have to push him off the ship somehow.

Unless he is a master who trained in water arts, falling into the Yangtze River leaves one helpless, so after that, they just have to throw a net and stab him to death with harpoons.

However.......

“Come.”

That is a story when they can approach the opponent.

Han Cheong-un's spear moved smoothly and seemed to be retrieved, then soon, stabs like flashes were emitted consecutively.

Popong! Poong!

Truly a flash.

The water bandits did not see Han Cheong-un's spear extending or retrieving.

Just every time they entered within a certain range, Han Cheong-un's continuous stabs blew away their heads and drilled holes in their bodies.

In an instant, half of the water bandits on the ship lost their lives to Han Cheong-un's spear.

“Uh...... Uh uh?”

“This...... is not right.”

“Run!”

Only then did the water bandits realize.

That they touched a master they couldn't handle right now.

When facing an unmanageable enemy, the actions water bandits take are generally similar.

They jumped off the ship without hesitation.

Water bandits jumping off competitively.

Due to that, the ship became completely empty.

“Easy.”

Han Cheong-un, who quickly took over one ship, swung the spear once as it was to shake off the blood.

Then Dang Jin approached from behind and said.

“Going to the next ship?”

“Have to. Connect to over there.”

“Yes.”

Dang Jin emitted the Silver Flowing Fly again.

Dang Jin's Silver Flowing Fly, which flew quickly, flew to a water bandit ship slightly apart and embedded, and Han Cheong-un stepped on the silver thread again and ran there.

“Uwaaaat! He’s coming!”

“Block him!”

The water bandits, who already saw one ship being defeated in an instant, responded by throwing harpoons and shooting arrows towards the rushing Han Cheong-un.

But Han Cheong-un stepped on the silver thread to give recoil, then jumped high up as he was, nullifying that attack.

And as soon as he arrived on the ship in one step.......

“Throw!”

The preparing water bandits threw iron nets.

It is a very useful weapon when water bandits deal with masters.

But even that must be used while looking at the opponent.

Slash!

When Han Cheong-un held the spear with one hand and swung it widely, the sturdily made iron net was cut strand by strand like a spider web and fell to the floor.

And the water bandits saw.

The blue Enhanced Qi clearly formed on the tip of Han Cheong-un's spear.

“Crazy.......”

“What kind of brat?”

“Run!”

The water bandits, overwhelmed by the atmosphere in one move, hurriedly jumped off the ship.

Han Cheong-un also had no intention of forcibly catching and killing those running away.

However.......

“Not you. Come here.”

“Eek.......”

The water bandit boss who had eyed Baek Sua flinched and backed away at Han Cheong-un's pointing.

He also wanted to retreat if it were up to his thoughts.

But unlike his subordinates, having learned martial arts quite a bit, he knew.

That the moment he turned his back to run, that bastard's spear would penetrate his back.

“Bastard, if you have a place in the Jianghu, you must have heard the name Wave Blood Saber of the Yangtze River?”

“What? Wave Blood Saber?”

“Correct. This body is indeed that Wave Blood Saber Kang Hong.”

“I see. You are that....... that.......”

Han Cheong-un scratched his head for a moment and said.

“Sorry, I know quite a few Unorthodox people, but I don't know you.”

“Th...... This bastard?”

“Sorry.”

It can't be helped.

In fact, saying Wave Blood Saber Kang Hong, he is indeed an Unorthodox person spreading quite a notoriety in the Yangtze River area.

But the opponents Han Cheong-un clashed with while going through two Orthodox-Unorthodox Great Wars were at least Captains or Hall Masters of the Eight Gates of the Evil Way, and going further, Elders or Sect Leaders.

The water he played in was too different to remember even these small fries one by one.

“Well, what does the name matter? Anyway, you.......”

Han Cheong-un spoke with cold eyes.

“Crossed a line that shouldn't be crossed.”

“What?”

“There is a line I set since the Evil-Annihilating Squad days. In this Jianghu.......”

Desolate killing intent forms in Han Cheong-un's eyes.

“There is no history of me ever forgiving a bastard who treats my colleague carelessly. Not even once.”

From the days when he was the Captain of the Evil-Annihilating Squad in the past.

Han Cheong-un took care of his colleagues absolutely.

He silently endured the rebuke and condemnation of the Murim Alliance Elders when directed at himself, but if sparks were about to fly even a little to his colleagues, he pounced spasmodically.

But daringly, a mere water bandit harasses Baek Sua?

“By my standards.......”

“Th...... This brat?”

“You are sentenced to death.”

At Han Cheong-un's cold single word, Kang Hong gritted his teeth and drew his saber.

“Where do you dare chatter arrogantly?”

A deformed saber with rough saw blades reminiscent of shark teeth.

Rather than a normal weapon, there must be special tactics or attacks tailored to that peculiar weapon.

When dealing with such anomalous weapons, one must keep that point in mind and deal carefully.

“Die!”

Popong!

Well, it doesn't matter if he can kill in one blow.

“Kueuk....... Kku...... Kkururuk.......”

“I told you, didn't I?”

“Kueeee.......”

“Sentenced to death.”

Kang Hong fell forward vomiting blood with his saber still raised.

On his fallen torso, a hole bigger than his own head was made.

Han Cheong-un, who finished off the water bandit boss in one move, looked at the other water bandits as he was and said.

“Anyone remaining after I count to ten all die. One. Two.......”

He didn't even need to count to ten.

Before Han Cheong-un counted to five, all water bandits hurriedly jumped into the Yangtze River.

“It is blander than I thought?”

“Bandit bastards' level is just like this.”

Han Cheong-un and Dang Jin lightly organized the situation and returned to the ship.

Seeing the two who defeated the water bandits alone, the Wi Clan Escort Agency's Head admired greatly.

“Truly a great divine might.”

“What divine might....... We could do this because the opponents were weak.”

“Hahaha.......”

The Agency Head laughed awkwardly.

Kang Hong, whom Han Cheong-un killed in one move, is a master spreading quite a notoriety in the Yangtze River even if he looks like that.

Such a man collapsed without being able to do anything.

Of course, there are many people in this world who can defeat Kang Hong in one move.

But among them, how many young people who haven't even reached the age of twenty would there be?

‘No doubt. This man will become a tycoon.’

At this level, he might be a genius who will shake the world in the future.

And it seemed other people also thought similarly.

“It was excellent skill.”

“I am flattered. Escort Yun.”

Mount Hua disciples came to Han Cheong-un, clasped their hands, and requested a conversation.

Since Dang Jin is a descendant of the Sichuan Tang Clan, it is understandable that he is somewhat strong.

But they didn't know this nameless young hero possessed skill of this level.

They thought he was accompanying them just because he knew information about the Secret Cave of the Shadowless Divine Thief, but with this level of skill.......

‘He is not inferior to our sect's first-class disciples.’

Yun Sang asked Han Cheong-un while admiring faintly.

“Young Hero, by any chance, what is your sect?”

“Even if I say, you won't know. Since it isn't that famous a place.”

“Ah, I see.”

It was a euphemistic refusal meaning he didn't want to say.

Yun Sang also did not force the question.

Digging into the background of a person who wants to hide their sect in the Jianghu was a great rudeness.

However.......

“Surely? No...... But.......”

Exactly one person,

One of the people who witnessed Han Cheong-un's skill frowned and showed a reaction that he had guessed something.

* * *

That evening.

Han Cheong-un, who was assigned a single room due to the activity shown during the day, was resting comfortably.

However.......

“May I come in for a moment?”

At the voice heard from outside, Han Cheong-un raised his body.

And before he could answer to come in, what opened the door and entered was.......

“Oh, isn't it Porter Old Man?”

“.......”

It was Mount Hua's Elder Hyun Myeong.

As soon as he entered, he closed the door with a reluctant expression and said.

“I came because there is something I want to ask as a Mount Hua Elder.”

Seeing him even setting up a soundproof barrier so sound wouldn't go outside, Han Cheong-un smirked.

“Please speak.”

Then Hyun Myeong brought up the main subject abruptly.

“Do you perhaps have any relationship with the Sword Emperor Elder?”

“.......”

At those words, Han Cheong-un's face hardened.

But he quickly composed his expression and said.

“Sword Emperor Elder? Surely, are you right about that person I am thinking of?”

“I am speaking of Wudang's Supreme Polarity Sword Emperor Elder.”

At those words, Han Cheong-un smirked and said.

“It is a sudden remark. I have never been to Wudang and have never met him.”

“Then why is it that traces of him are felt in the martial arts you use?”

“No way? I use a spear, not a sword. But with what connection do you associate his martial arts with mine?”

“Eight Trigrams.”

“.......”

Hyun Myeong crossed his arms and continued speaking.

“I have seen him when I was young. He perfectly mastered Wudang's Supreme Polarity Wisdom Sword and transcended it to reach a new realm.”

“.......”

“When I saw him again after passing the age of forty, he was now training martial arts based on the Eight Trigrams.”

“.......”

“I felt the same thing in your spear arts.”

“.......”

“Do not say no. My eyes are not knotholes.”

“.......”

“Now, speak. What relationship do you have with the Sword Emperor Elder?”

At Hyun Myeong's sharp interrogation, Han Cheong-un sighed inwardly and thought.

‘Damn, he is indeed a Mount Hua Elder.’

Certainly, his discernment was beyond ordinary.
