Vol 2 Chapter 14. Who Asked for Help? (3)
Ominous rumors began to circulate among the residents of Tianshui County. That rumor was precisely….
“The Blood Saber Sect is coming?”
“Yes. They seem to be planning a big fight with the Twin Dragon Gang… no, the Twin Dragon Sect.”
“Oh my goodness. What is happening?”
“Are Unorthodox bastards coming in again?”
“I thought we could finally live a little after chasing out those vicious Twin Dragon Gang bastards.”
“To think it’s the Blood Saber Sect….”
The residents of Tianshui County had faces drained of strength. Among them, soone spoke a hopeful word.
“Maybe the Twin Dragon Sect might win?”
Then another person shouted abruptly.
“How can the Twin Dragon Sect beat the Blood Saber Sect?”
“No, they defeated the Twin Dragon Gang….”
“Is the Twin Dragon Gang and the Blood Saber Sect the sa? The Twin Dragon Gang was nothing but thugs except for the leader, but the Blood Saber Sect is a real Murim sect.”
“…….”
“Furthermore, the Blood Saber Sect Leader is one of the disciples of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor. Do you seriously think the Twin Dragon Sect can fight and win against that?”
“That is….”
“Until recently, the Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect was just a person operating a dical house in the slums. Winning against the Twin Dragon Gang was nothing short of a miracle. Blood Saber Sect? That’s absurd talk.”
Although the words of the man presenting the negative opinion might be unpleasant to hear, they were correct from the perspective of worldly common sense.
Naturally, the anxiety of the commoners was amplified.
“Then…. is the Blood Saber Sect entering our region?”
“That’s how it will be.”
“Oh dear, the fox leaves and the tiger cos.”
“Damn, if I knew this would happen, I would rather….”
“Hey! What are you trying to say?”
“No, just…. Kuhm….”
“…….”
“Don't look at like that. Actually, isn't it true?”
The man being questioned shouted abruptly.
Originally, when Unorthodox factions settle down, the lives of commoners beco painful.
In the anti, the residents of Tianshui County had also suffered a lot of damage from the Twin Dragon Gang.
Even if they asked the governnt office for help, the magistrate claiming non-interference in Murim affairs paid no attention.
Rather, even more severe retaliation awaited those who reported.
They were the ones who rejoiced more than anyone when such a Twin Dragon Gang disappeared overnight.
But the joy was short-lived.
Now they say the Blood Saber Sect is coming.
Then, thoughts like this arose in their minds.
‘Rather than this, wouldn't it have been better if the Twin Dragon Gang just stayed?’
‘The Twin Dragon Gang was like that, but if the Blood Saber Sect cos in….’
‘Aaaah…. We are dood. Now I am dood.’
Such thoughts.
They didn't know what the Blood Saber Sect would do, but since it was a much larger sect than the Twin Dragon Gang, they would need more money, and it was obvious that they would be exploited even more.
“They say life is like Saeong’s horse…. Did we end up exactly like that?”
“What do we do now? What should we do?”
“We should have just left it alone….”
Since the most cunning thing in the world is the human heart, there were those among them whose feelings of resentnt towards the Twin Dragon Sect arose.
Of course, there were those who objected to that.
“How can you say such things?”
“Why can't I? Actually, isn't it true?”
“Ha! Weren't you the one who was more grateful than anyone when the Twin Dragon Sect defeated the Twin Dragon Gang initially?”
“That was back then….”
“Who was the person about to have all his property taken and his family sold because of debt to the Twin Dragon Gang for parents' dicine costs?”
“…….”
“Resenting them now? Is that sothing a human should do?”
“…….”
“A person should have sha! How can you say such things?”
Then the opponent also flared up and shouted.
“It’s easy to say righteous words with words. But actually, doesn't everyone think the sa as ?”
“What did you say?”
“Did I say anything wrong?”
“This person who isn't even like a human….”
“What?!”
Just as the two n were about to grab each other by the collar….
“It’s the Blood Saber Sect!”
Soone’s single phrase froze everyone.
And the people filling the main street split to both sides like the ebbing tide.
And down the center of the wide main street, a group holding a flag with the character Blood embroidered in red walked confidently.
The man walking down the main street at the lead, enjoying the gazes of fear and wariness pouring towards him, was Ma Jae-ho.
“That man is the Blood Wave Saber Guest.”
“They say he is a disciple of the Heaven Breaking Martial Emperor and a bladesman who counts within ten fingers in the Unorthodox faction.”
“His arms are very long. They reach his knees.”
“Shh! He might hear.”
“Hup!”
The commoners of Tianshui County lowered their gazes, afraid their eyes might et his, and hushed each other.
Ma Jae-ho looked at Tianshui County without caring about them and said.
“It’s a more bustling place than I thought. There was a reason those Twin Dragon Gang bastards could offer thick tributes.”
And he said to the strategist beside him.
“What do you think? Wouldn't it be fine for us to manage it directly?”
“That is a good idea. It would also be good to entrust the managent of this area to the Sect Leader’s close aide as a reward.”
“Right. Then I should first get rid of this country sect called Twin Dragon Sect or whatever.”
Although it was a sect he had never heard of before, hearing that the number of disciples exceeded hundreds, he thought his beloved saber could drink blood to its fill after a long ti. However….
“Hmm? What is that?”
A group appeared on the opposite side.
No, should this be called a group?
At the very front stood an old man wearing twin swords, followed by a re child.
And behind them too….
“It’s just brats?”
As an old man who looked like he could die any day stood facing him with about ten children, Ma Jae-ho felt doubt before hostility.
What on earth is this?
“What are you guys?”
To resolve that doubt, Ma Jae-ho asked in a ringing voice.
Then the old man at the front clasped his hands and said.
“This one is Go Seok-hyeon, the Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon Sect.”
“Sect Leader of the Twin Dragon… Sect? You?”
“That is so. Hearing the news that you have business with our Twin Dragon Sect and are visiting, I ca out to et you like this.”
“Huh…. Hohoho….”
Ma Jae-ho laughed.
And imdiately after stopping his laughter abruptly….
“Keueuk….”
His hand moved like lightning, grabbing the head of the subordinate he brought as a guide and lifting him up.
And he spoke snarling ferociously.
“Didn't you say it was a sect with hundreds of disciples? But what is this sight? Huh?”
“Ugh… Uaaaaak….”
He wanted to make an excuse, but he couldn't.
Because Ma Jae-ho’s hand covering his face was slowly pressuring his head.
Along with the sound of the skull crushing, indescribable pain was felt.
“How dare you mock ?!”
“Ugh… Uae… Uuuu….”
“Apologize with death.”
Crack!
It was imdiately after that.
The head of the subordinate caught in Ma Jae-ho’s grip was crushed.
He had crushed a human head with pure grip strength.
“Hmph, trash-like bastard.”
Ma Jae-ho, who threw the subordinate with the crushed head to the ground, said that one phrase and looked back at where the Twin Dragon Sect was.
“Whatever the reason….”
The mont he took one step forward.
Go Seok-hyeon had to desperately hold himself together to avoid stepping back.
But Ma Jae-ho, emitting unusual pressure, continued to walk and speak.
“It is a fact that you bastards challenged . Isn't that right?”
“…That is so.”
“Hmph, then it’s settled. A lion does its best even when catching a rabbit. Resent the heartlessness of the Jianghu….”
“Pfft!”
It was then.
Laughter that blatantly felt like ‘Ah, I can't hold this back’ burst out.
“Master. That’s rude, isn't it?”
“No, isn't this funny to you? He said lion. Lion.”
“It is funny, but he is serious in his own way.”
“No matter how I look at it, doesn't Long-Ard Goblin fit better than Lion?”
“Pfft…. Don't make laugh too.”
And the ensuing conversation made Ma Jae-ho truly angry.
“You bastard!”
Ma Jae-ho quickly drew the saber on his back and swung it towards where the sound ca from.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
His saber energy tore through the ground and extended.
And the mont it exploded.
Two figures jumped up and dodged the attack.
The two people who revealed themselves like that were….
“A person with colored eyes? And….”
“Wow….”
“Oooooh….”
Naturally, they were Patrick and Persona.
And the mont they appeared, Persona’s beauty was enough to make the crowd admire instantly.
Even Ma Jae-ho, who was about to swing his saber consecutively, montarily flinched and stopped his saber.
But he quickly regained his senses and said.
“Who are you guys?”
“Who do you think? Disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect.”
“What?”
“I am Patrick Schneider, Bong-gong of the Great Twin Dragon Sect. And this is Persona the Lord. My disciple.”
“I can introduce myself….”
“Why bother?”
At Patrick’s words, Ma Jae-ho nodded montarily.
‘Masters. Both of them.’
Although it was a hasty attack, they easily dodged the attack he swung seriously.
It ans they are absolutely not amateurs.
‘Right. Then the story fits to so extent.’
If there were masters like that, it explains why the subordinates he sent ca back beaten unilaterally.
Then another question arises here….
“In the end, you an you are also disciples of the Twin Dragon Sect, right?”
“What? I told you, but you don't understand? Unorthodox bastards have bad heads, whether in the past or now.”
“Hmph, then why were you guys hiding separately on the side instead of appearing with the Sect Leader?”
At Ma Jae-ho’s question, Patrick couldn't answer readily. Then the strategist next to Ma Jae-ho shouted.
“Weren't you trying to hide secretly and look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the flank?! You cowardly things!”
“What sneak attack? I was just….”
“Just what? If you are proud, speak up.”
At the repeated interrogation, Patrick hesitated and continued speaking.
“That is actually…. When the sect is in crisis, I wanted to appear coolly like ‘Ta-da!’ and have a mont like ‘Ah! To think there was such a master in the Twin Dragon Sect.’ Or should I say I didn't?”
“…….”
“…….”
“Ah why? What? So what?”
The Twin Dragon Sect and the Blood Saber Sect.
And everyone in Tianshui County who was secretly watching the situation fell silent.
And they all thought the sa thing.
The thought that everyone has when they experience Patrick Schneider.
‘What kind of bastard is that?’
‘What kind of bastard is that?’
It was a perfectly normal reaction.
* * *
“Ah forget it! Forget it! You bastards can't read the atmosphere. Let’s just cross swords. That’s enough, right?”
To break the frozen atmosphere, Patrick grumbled and stepped forward.
Then Ma Jae-ho raised his hand and spoke to his subordinates.
“I will handle him. Deal with the other guys.”
“Yes.”
And Patrick also said.
“They are all mine. Everyone don't interfere and stay crumpled in the back.”
“Yes. Yes. Understood. I won't touch them because it’s dirty.”
“What, you punk?”
“Guys. Let’s stay far back over there.”
“Senior Sister, is that okay?”
“Yeah. It’s okay.”
They were giving very contrasting instructions.
But why is the Unorthodox bastard giving more normal operational instructions?
Anyway, Patrick took out the Black and White Twin Dragon Swords and licked his lips.
‘Hehehe. The directive said it would give 2,000 causality if I defeat these guys, right?’
Although most instructions in the directive were contrary to Patrick’s intentions, this ti opinions coincided after a long ti.
He can earn causality while beating up the Unorthodox practitioners who invaded his territory.
For Patrick, it was catching a crayfish while cleaning the ditch.
‘Now co. You cute things.’
And just as the two sects were about to clash splendidly….
“Stop!”
Along with a huge shout, soone, no, soone ran across the roofs of the buildings in Tianshui County.
“What is that again?”
The ‘that’ Patrick looked at with a frown were Taoists wearing Taoist caps on their heads and swords at their waists.
Fluttering their light green martial arts uniforms in the wind, they ran coolly and….
“Ta-at!”
They jumped up coolly from the roof, spun about two tis splendidly in the air, and landed lightly on the ground.
Seeing that their feet didn't even make a sound touching the ground, one could tell their lightness skill was very excellent. Not just one, but two, three, four, eventually over thirty such people appeared.
And soone standing at the lead among them shouted.
“Draw swords!”
Chwa-a-ang! Chwang chwang!
Instantly, they drew their swords simultaneously making clear tallic sounds. That sword light dazzlingly reflecting the sunlight and the righteous glint in their eyes shining even brighter were truly like the standard of heroes appearing in heroic novels.
And decisively….
“Ko… Kongtong Sect!”
“The Kongtong Sect has co here!”
“Waaaaah! It’s the Kongtong Sect!”
They were individuals belonging to a force backed by clear fa and achievents.
The ruler of Gansu Province and a part of the Nine Sects One Gang.
The Kongtong Sect had appeared in this Tianshui County.
At that appearance, the commoners of Tianshui County shouted enthusiastically. And….
“Tsk, that’s what I was trying to do.”
The demon clicked his tongue.
