Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Chapter 226

Episode 225

The six days of sleeping in the open were quite difficult for Jang Sam-tae.

They had to scour the mountains to find water and hunt to make a living.

Also, because they got tired of eating only meat, they had to eat wild vegetables, and when their stomachs hurt, they had to dig.

When it rained, they had to find a place to take shelter, but there was no suitable place to do so, so they couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, so they ended up making a roof by tying together tree branches and leaves.

But what do you do with just a roof?

Since the wind was blowing in, a wall was built to block it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the place where the two of them live has now become a comfortable home as they do things one after another without thinking.

Jang Sam-tae sat on the rock with a tired expression.

His puffy, dead eyes seemed to show how much he had suffered.

‘That human…!’

Jang Sam-tae glanced around and looked at Dan-woo Hyeon. For six days, I ate Jangsamtae without lifting a finger.

Although he was much faster and better at going out hunting or setting up a place to stay than Jang Sam-tae, he was somewhat dissatisfied with not being able to do so.

Dan Woo-hyeon meditated in the lotus position every morning and never opened his eyes except when eating. They say it’s mental training, but in Jang Sam-tae’s view, it’s nothing more than an excuse because he doesn’t want to do troublesome things.

The moment he was looking at Dan Woo-hyeon with a dissatisfied gaze, his closed eyes slowly opened. For a moment, Samtae Jang was shocked.

The blue light in Dan Woo-hyeon’s eyes flickered and then disappeared.

“come.”

” yes?”

I blurted out the words before I could understand the exact situation. Jang Sam-tae, startled, turned his head. Although it was a bit far away, I felt someone coming towards this place.

As I watched the place for a while, I soon saw the man and the guards who had been hiding in various places watching the situation appear again and approach.

“Did you wait long?”

“You’re late.”

The man spoke softly and smiled.

I was just about to hear the results of surveillance of the two over the past few days and decide whether to admit them or not.

However, there was no movement and there was no sign of contact with anyone.

They were living such a ridiculous life that even the guards who were guarding them thought they were just rich idiots.

One is the owner and the other is a slave.

It seemed like that was the relationship.

“The leader is waiting. “I need to be baptized, so follow me.”

At that moment, Dan Woohyun’s eyes sparkled.

* * *

Jang Sam-tae groaned.

Since I had been covering my eyes the entire time I got into the carriage, I wasn’t sure where I was going, but it seemed certain that I had moved at least two o’clock.

Since the place he had to go to was Changbai Mountain anyway, he thought it would be a good idea to go east from Shaanxi.

There is nothing more frustrating than having to go back down the road.

Eventually, at some point, the carriage stopped.

I heard the carriage door open and a man’s voice.

“Get off.”

The moment I heard that, I casually got out of the carriage and the men removed the cloth covering my eyes.

“omg!’?”

Jang Sam-tae was not the only one who was surprised.

Dan Woo-hyeon also looked at his surroundings with quite surprise.

Although this place was in the middle of an unknown mountain, there were many buildings around it as if they were forming a village.

Of course, most of them were old buildings.

But there was something else more surprising than that.

Thousands of people were gathered together, and in front was not a shabby building, but a splendid pavilion, a platform so dignified that it was completely different from the unsophisticated platform I had seen last time, and a grand throne that looked as if only the emperor would sit on it.

The religious leader was sitting right there.

The person, who wore even more extravagant clothes than last time and looked solemn, looked alternately at Dan Woo-hyeon and Jang Sam-tae and smiled kindly.

Step by step, I followed the men and walked towards the leader. Thousands of people who appeared to be believers bowed their heads.

“Are you the one who came to me to follow Martial God?”

As soon as I stopped in front of the religious leader, I heard his voice. It is a sound that is solemn and intimidating, and contains a powerful force that seems to attract people.

Dan Woo-hyeon quietly looked at the leader.

There was no answer, just staring.

Then a commotion arose among the believers.

“Uh-huh! What are you doing? “Hurry up and don’t answer.”

“No, I was just surprised for a moment. “I thought it was a prank on his part, but it seems that wasn’t the case.”

Dan Woohyun stroked his chin.

There was no trace of mercy or warmth in the eyes looking at the religious leader. The moment when Jang Sam-tae realized something and turned his head in surprise.

Pow!

“Oh my gosh!”

A short groan came from the religious leader’s mouth.

People didn’t know what was happening.

Why is the cult leader’s staff piercing his chest?

Sigh-!

The moment Dan Woo-hyeon pulled out his staff, blood burst out.

Jang Sam-tae, who was nearby, was covered in blood.

“ah! Punishment! Argh! what’s this ?!”

Jang Sam-tae regretted it later.

I had a premonition that something was going to happen, but why didn’t I run away? Still, maybe it was because I didn’t expect him to kill me as soon as I saw him?

It was Dan Woo-hyeon who smashed the head of the leader who was shouting loudly after calling for Nokrimdo!

Jang Sam-tae, drenched in blood, sat down.

The smell of blood was disgusting.

“What… what…!”

“Master!”

“Ugh!”

While Jang Sam-tae was in such despair, sounds were heard from everywhere. It was so terrifying that even the guards nearby could not react.

The voices of furious people were heard.

“This guy’—!”

One of the guards extended his sword towards Dan Woo-hyeon.

However, Dan Woo-hyeon easily dodged the attack and struck his back with his sword, as if admonishing a child.

Spread it!

“Keuok!”

Dan Woo-hyeon’s movements did not stop there.

The new figure seemed to disappear and instantly knocked down all the guards who tried to grab the sword. Jang Sam-tae, who was watching the situation, could not even close his wide-open mouth.

This situation could not even be called a fight.

It was overwhelming and one-sided. Puk puk puk!

The bodies of the guards fell to their knees in shock as they heard the sounds one after another.

Thousands of believers were unable to move from their spot.

The leader of the cult they had so trusted and followed blanked his mind as he watched his guards fall to their knees in an awkward manner.

“I’m not opposed to trusting someone.”

Plop!

Dan Woo-hyeon fiercely swung his sword and struck down the guards. Dozens of people fell to the ground in an instant, groaning.

It is quite surprising that among them, the only one who died was the religious leader.

“But you shouldn’t take advantage of people’s blind faith.”

“Uuuuuuuu…”

Dan Woo-hyeon looked at the fallen people.

No one can think of standing up. No, the pain will be so severe that it will be impossible to even move your body for a few hours.

“Also, your faith… must not be harmful to your family and neighbors.”

Dan Woo-hyeon’s cold gaze was directed at the thousands of believers. The bodies of those who were looking at it with blank eyes trembled.

Blind and absolute loyalty.

However, they were unable to do anything due to the pressure of Dan Woo-hyeon, who shattered even that to pieces, and even the thought of taking revenge on the religious leader disappeared.

“You are not committing a sin just because you follow someone.”

Jang Sam-tae quietly listened to the story and thought.

Right now, Dan Woo-hyeon seemed to be admonishing them as a military god.

These thousands of believers, who were in front of the horrors that occurred in the Shaanxi area, were willing to do anything for their religious leader.

These were people who killed their own families, committed crimes, and lived solely for the sake of martial arts and religious leaders without even a sense of guilt.

Those people…

‘I didn’t even kill them…’

Jang Sam-tae swallowed dry saliva.

Wiping away the blood that was soaked little by little, I looked around at each person.

Everyone except the cult leader was alive.

Although most of them had broken bones and serious injuries, they were breathing and seemed likely to survive with some care.

“go away.”

Soon, I heard Dan Woo-hyeon’s words.

The sound he made while looking at thousands of people was like the sound of thunder, killing everyone’s spirit.

These were words that even broke my brainwashed mind.

The believers looked at each other and quietly turned their backs.

Dan Woo-hyeon’s power is so overwhelming that it’s like heaven’s judgment.

It also felt as if the one-sided death of the religious leader they had followed so blindly had shattered the faith they had.

Jang Sam-tae stuck out his tongue.

Finally, the moment I look at Dan Woo-hyeon again.

“What… what are you doing?”

I was at a loss for words as I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.

Dan Woo-hyeon was searching the arms of the dead religious leader. The slip that came out of my arms was in my hand, and even though it was soaked with red blood, I folded it up neatly.

“collect.”

“Why do you still turn over the body?”

“Shouldn’t we find the money? Or are you going to work and earn money?”

Jang Sam-tae shook his head.

I never wanted to do that.

As there was a long journey ahead, I had no desire to sleep out or hunt for food.

“Then you should search too.”

“Haa…”

Jang Sam-tae let out a long sigh and glanced at the guards lying face down. Some people fainted and others did not.

Those who fainted had no particular problem, but those with their eyes open raised their eyes wide the moment a hand was placed in their arms.

It was as if he was asking what this was doing.

Spread it!

“Knock!”

Jang Sam-tae closed their eyes.

He grabbed a stone that had fallen on the ground and hit it on the head.

It wasn’t enough to kill me.

Although it may feel like it’s going to break a bit and give you a headache.

“All you have to do is stay alive.” One by one, they searched the guards’ treasures and took a few pieces of silver, but it was quite different from the money that Dan Woo-hyeon had scattered.

I glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon as if observing his gaze.

I saw him making a disapproving expression.

“It’s not enough.”

“It must have been hidden somewhere.”

“Look for it.”

” yes?”

“I told you to look for it.” Jang Sam-tae was confident in that one word.

Wasn’t Dan Woo-hyeon’s intention to punish this cult leader aimed at this rather than because he had tarnished the name of God of War?

‘I thought I could collect more money.’

Since he is a religious leader who collects a lot of money from believers, Dan Woo-hyeon would have predicted that the money would come in at least tens to hundreds of times more.

Jang Sam-tae swallowed a groan as he looked at the corpse of the religious leader, which was hanging down in a hazy state.

Even if you ask the guards, there’s no way they would know where the cult leader hid the money, right?

In the end, it was none other than Jang Sam-tae who had to search this large place.

“Hey!”

It was Jang Sam-tae, who began to search every corner while swearing.
