Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 332

Episode 332 The hilt does not remember blood (2)

Doo doo doo.

The carriage passed through the forest and crossed Shandong at a frightening speed.

It was the fastest speed since coming out of Protestantism. When we crossed the Yangtze River, when we went to catch Hwasan Jangmun-in, or when we headed to Shaolin, we never moved this fast.

“Hey!”

Hee hee hee!

Hanhyeolmada was well managed even when she was in Shingyo. The six blooded horses, who had been given elixirs to increase their muscles and stamina, ran as fast as they could, faster than the divine techniques of most peak masters.

That wasn’t all.

As the legend goes, the stamina of blooded horses was fearsome, as they ran a thousand miles in red sweat. Even though I ran at an unbelievable speed for half a day, I showed no signs of fatigue.

Eonyanghoe, who was sitting on the coach seat next to Ma Dong-pil, glanced at Ma Dong-pil.

An intense glow fills the eyes with an unwavering expression. The eyes burning with a fierce sense of purpose were almost burdensome to face.

‘strong.’

Eonyanghoe was inwardly surprised.

‘A man of this level works as a coachman?’

Ma Dong-pil’s martial arts skills seemed to be no less than his own. To be more honest, it seemed like he might be one step ahead of me.

A master like that works as a coachman. It was something unimaginable in Iron Blood Castle.

“…the road.”

“….”

“Look.”

“hmm? “Ah, did you call me?”

Ma Dong-pil spoke in a monotonous voice.

“There is a fork in the road far away. “Originally, I would head to Taean on the left, but that seems too conspicuous. Is there a secret route?”

“Take it to Taean. If you go 30 ri further on that road, there is a side road on the right. “The road is a bit narrow, but judging by your ability to drive a carriage, I think you can get through it.”

“I understand.”

So the carriage headed toward the left street.

Eonyanghoe opened his mouth.

“That’s amazing.”

“….”

“I’ve seen blooded horses a few times, but this is the first time I’ve seen them with this much stamina. “It must be three or four times heavier than an ordinary carriage, but it manages to maintain this speed.”

“Our school’s steelmaking capabilities are among the best in the central region. In addition, with the help of craftsmen, the strength of the outer wall was dramatically increased and the weight was innovatively reduced in this carriage.”

“master?”

“There is such a person.”

Although I am a military assistant who will be with me for a short time, I cannot tell you in detail about what is happening on campus. Even more so if the craftsman is the Tang family’s poisonous dragon master.

Eonyanghoe, who was quietly looking at Ma Dong-seok, opened his mouth again.

“Are they all monsters?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“There are only monsters at your school.”

Ma Dong-pil glanced at Eonyanghoe.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Eonyanghoe’s face.

“It may sound embarrassing, but I too have been called a genius since I was young. “I am proud to say that I have not neglected my training even for a single day.”

“I think so.”

“But it seems that Seo Sogyo, who is much younger than me, has already reached the highest level of martial arts.”

“….”

“Seo Soo-ji is a monster, but you are no ordinary monster either. “I don’t think I’ve reached the level of ignorance yet, but I can’t believe I’m that strong.”

Ma Dong-pil did not answer.

Eonyanghoe sighed.

“I lived in vain too.”

I felt like I had lived a truly arrogant life.

Although he had ample talent, effort, and the best martial arts skills and teachers, in the end he was just a frog in a well.

Rather than going out into the world and fighting, I thought it would be much better to spend that time training and raise my level to a higher level.

It was a narrow-minded way of thinking. If I had gone out into the world and had more experiences, if I had felt a lot of frustration and helplessness and overcome it, I might have grown further than I am now.

I also thought that if that had been the case, my men would not have been wiped out by King Biyo’s men. The gains from countless practical battles would have been much greater than the tactics honed through books and lecture training.

Only after seeing Seoryang and Ma Dongpil’s martial arts skills, Eonyanghoe was able to realize what his own shortcomings were.

‘Practical combat… I might not have survived. But if I had survived and not died, I would have learned a lot more. The greater the risk, the greater the gain….’

That is the way of the world. No matter what type of learning, ultimately, what people can gain is not from books, but from everywhere in the world.

Seeing is worth seeing. Eonyanghoe deeply regretted his actions of not going out into the world.

“Experience is important, but it alone is not enough.”

“hmm?”

Ma Dong-pil was about to say something more but closed his mouth.

Eonyanghoe’s eyes deepened.

‘Experience alone is not enough… I guess so.’

Anyway, it is not a problem that can be solved even if you think about it now. He gave up his thoughts and looked around.

‘Here we go again.’

I tightly gripped the window leaning on the left.

‘Did I make the right decision now?’

I thought it would have been better to return to Iron Blood Castle. Of course, even if he had gone, Seoliang would not have sent him.

But he didn’t want to go back like this either.

In a moment of mistake, I lost all of my subordinates who had been with me for as little as five years and as long as ten years. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to sleep until I avenged my subordinates.

‘…Damn it.’

How much time has passed?

“Are you talking about that side road over there?”

“exactly.”

Ma Dong-pil pulled the reins.

Hee hee hee!

The horses gradually slowed down and soon fell into the side road.

It was an extremely smooth rotation. Considering the size of the carriage, it was unimaginably stable.

It was then.

Eonyanghoe, who was looking at the road with complicated eyes, flashed.

“for a moment! Stop the carriage!”

Hee hee hee!

Ma Dong-pil hurriedly stopped the carriage.

“What’s going on?”

Eonyanghoe did not respond.

grasp!

He grabbed the spear and jumped from the coach seat and looked towards the tree-lined area in front of the street.

The branches were quite thick, but it was barely enough to pass by. With Ma Dong-pil’s skills, he would be able to run for half a day.

However, what Eonyanghoe saw was not a road but a tree.

“Why are you doing that?”

“…arrow.”

“arrow?”

“Come here and see.”

Ma Dong-pil got down from the coach seat and approached Eonyang-hoe.

When he reached the tree where he was standing, Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.

‘big?’

The arrow stuck next to the tree was much thicker and longer than an ordinary arrow. It was a trace that could be seen because it was Eonyanghoe, which was located to the left of the coach seat.

‘If something like this can be fired like any other arrow, it will unleash truly terrifying power.’

However, I have never heard of anyone using arrows like this in Gangho.

“Pasan Gungwi (????).”

“hmm?”

“It’s an arrow on the bankrupt palace. “Looking at the traces, it’s been about a day.”

“Who is Bankrupt Gungwi?”

Death flashed in Eonyanghoe’s eyes.

“One of King Biyo’s closest associates. “It is Gujang, Palhwa, Chilsa, Yukun, and Owi, and among the five masters, it is Gosu et al.”

“Owi?”

As expected, I’ve never heard of it.

A subtle surprise appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face as he examined the arrow.

“That’s amazing. “Even though it pierced a tree far away, more than half of it is stuck at the base of this tree here.”

“Pasangungwi’s archery skills are among the best in the world. “He is a top archer who can attack from a distance with intangible energy without arrows.”

“Why is such a great archer with King Biyo…?”

“Because King Biyo raised it himself.”

“You mean King Biyo?”

“exactly. It’s not just the palace. “Of the thirty-five masters, from Gujang to Owi, most of them were raised by King Biyo himself.”

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes deepened.

“Do you mean King Biyo had such resources?”

Raising a master was not possible simply by having strong martial arts skills.

In addition to excellent martial arts skills, an appropriate environment and effort must be created depending on the time. If you go one step further, you may need elixirs or actual combat.

However, it was hard to believe that he had raised not just three or four, but thirty-five experts. It was known throughout the world that King Biyo had no one who could be called his close associate due to his violent nature.

“I guess they made up for it somehow by using the compensation they received so far.”

“…?!”

“The relationship between Bonbon and King Biyo, or to be more precise, the relationship between the Lord of Seong and King Biyo is very complicated. In any case, if King Biyo carried out the Lord of Seong’s orders, the Lord of Seong gave King Biyo a lot of compensation.”

Eonyanghoe’s eyes lit up.

“That’s not the point. The problem is that Pasan Palace’s plan for defeat is embedded in this place.”

“Right.”

Ma Dong-pil frowned.

‘Is there another force targeting King Biyo?’

If this road is a fast road leading to King Biyo, it is correct to interpret it that way.

While he was pondering, he suddenly looked at the ground.

‘Something…’

Sensitivity and quick thinking are basic skills for a guard warrior.

Ma Dong-pil is the youngest person to become a leader in the defense court. Even with extremely small traces, it is possible to infer not only the movement path of enemy numbers but also the time.

‘What kind of trace is this?’

Still, he could not guess the level of martial arts of those who passed through this place. But one thing is clear: someone passed by here.

Shake!

At that time, the carriage door opened and Seo-ryang and Yeo Sang-rin got out.

“what’s the matter?”

“Master Xiao.”

Ma Dong-pil approached him and told him the whole story.

Xu Liang looked at Pai Li Shi, saw a tree with a hole in the distance, and then looked down at the ground again.

“The carriage was stopped well.”

“yes?”

He looked back at Yeo Sang-rin and said.

“Can you make ice this size with your ice ball?”

What Seo-ryang ordered was something about the size of his own upper body.

Yeo Sang-rin nodded vigorously.

“Sure.”

“Try to completely freeze the ground here. Slow freezing will crush the soil. “You have to freeze it in an instant.”

“If it’s just for a moment… well, let’s see. “Don’t curse even if you can’t do it.”

“Don’t worry.”

Wooooow.

A strong chill rose from Yeo Sang-rin’s hands.

It was such a powerful aura that it had a subtle white sheen. Eonyanghoe’s eyes widened.

‘An ice ball like that… Is it really an ice ball?!’

Because the screening was complicated, I didn’t pay attention to anyone other than Seo-ryang and Ma Dong-pil, but now I see that the woman was from Binggung. Without the martial arts of Ice Palace, it is impossible to use such powerful Ice Balls.

Yeo Sang-rin carefully spread both hands.

Sara la rock.

The white chill created a square frame.

Making the frame itself was not difficult. The problem was freezing the area within the frame in an instant.

Whoa!

The white energy that was fluttering in both hands spread out to the entire body.

The chill was so strong that the cherry blossoms retreated without even realizing it. The energy was strong enough to make even Ma Dong-pil and Eonyanghoe flinch.

Yeo Sang-rin’s pupils turned white.

“Ha!”

Damn it!

The instantaneous chill quickly froze the inside of the square frame.

The ground froze at a much faster rate than Xioliang had ordered. The surface seemed to turn white as if frost had settled on it, and then ice that looked as hard as steel covered the surface.

Damn it! Pussssss.

Soon, a perfect square chunk of ice appeared. White smoke flowed from the created ice.

“Whoa.”

Yeo Sang-rin’s face became somewhat pale. Although he did not pour out all his internal power, the amount of internal power unleashed at once was beyond imagination.

Seo-ryang supported her as her eyes suddenly spun and she stumbled.

“Good job.”

“I think I’m going to throw up.”

“I ate a lot, but if I throw it up, it’s a mess. “I’m resting over there.”

“You can just say it.”

Yeo Sang-rin staggered back.

Seoriang grabbed the edge of the ice. The moment I touched my fingertips, the chill was so strong that even my wrists were chilled.

Tsk tsk!

He pulled out a chunk of frozen ground in one go, flipped it upside down, and punched it.

thud!

The square lump was split in half.

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled as he gently brushed off the remaining dirt on the pure white ice and slightly melted the surface with his Guyumagi.

“The footprints are extremely light.”

“yes?”

“It’s almost at the level of a paranormal plane. But… you didn’t spread it out on purpose?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It is a state where a portrait of a portrait unfolds on its own just by walking. “When it comes to footwork, he’s a step above me right now.”

Astonishment appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face. Are you one step ahead of Master Xiao? Did such an expert pass by here?

“The problem is direction. “They didn’t come in here, but they exited through this street onto the main road.”

“…!”

“Besides, the footprint is rather small. “I’m sure it’s a woman’s.”

A woman who is a level above him.

Saaaaagh!

A terrifying, deadly force rose from Seo-ryang’s body.

It was such a terrible act that even Ma Dong-pil and Eonyang-hoe, not to mention Yeo Sang-rin and Aeng-hwa, retreated out of Samjang in shock. It was so strong that it couldn’t even be compared to Yeo Sang-rin’s chill.

Xu Liang shouted.

“Dongpil and Changsu go to King Biyo’s residence! hurry!”

Faaagh!

The two people moved at a frightening speed.

After two examinations.

When Eonyanghoe returned, his face was very distorted.

“King Biyo’s residence is empty.”

Xu Liang waved his hand.

Crumbling!

The trees on the left and right were blown away from their bases by the fierce wind.

“Dongpil! “Turn the carriage around!”

When the two men went to King Biyo’s residence, he came out onto the main street and looked for traces everywhere.

It is now certain that King Biyo’s residence is empty. I never thought I would see the virtue that brought Eonyanghoe with me so quickly.

“King Biyo headed towards Taean! “It’s only a day away!”

“Look at this! Wait a minute! King Biyo went through this road. Even so, there is still nothing about why Pasansungwi fired the arrow…!”

“You can figure that out later!”

Xi Liang got on the carriage.

“let’s go!”
