Episode 25: What is coming (3)
It was a golden opportunity that will never happen again.
While the granddaughter was holding on to Jeong Hyeon’s sword blade, Yu Jin-san let go of the spear he was holding in his right hand.
Embarrassed, Jeong Hyeon tried his best to retrieve the sword, but there was no way. Even though he possesses more than 100% of internal strength, he cannot withstand the child’s strength.
He was in extreme confusion and his mind turned pale.
In the meantime, Yujinsan’s palm rotated half a circle and glowed blue.
Yuga Geongonjang (劉家乾坤掌) Four Chosik Ilhuseomta (一後閃打).
The palm that went forward as if cutting through the current hit his left chest.
Tsk-!
“Ugh!”
Jeong Hyeon lost his grip on the sword and flew backwards.
After flying a whopping three pages, he stumbled as if he would fall and vomited blood.
It was a blow filled with Yu Jin-san’s strength, which was far beyond this one. Since he was beaten orthodoxly, he was bound to be slandered.
Yu Jin-san sighed, looked at his surroundings, and shouted.
“Are you just going to look around? How long are the young guys going to exploit the old?”
He had no time for a one-on-one romantic duel right now.
Chaeju Pungho of Heuksando came to his senses and sent a signal to the archers.
“Fire!”
About twenty archers who had been preparing in advance let go of their bows at the same time.
Pot-! Papapot-!
An arrow fired directly from close range was not a force that could be ignored.
Jeonghyun became desperate. Normally I wouldn’t have paid any attention, but things were different now.
He didn’t even have a weapon in his hands, and it was painful to even move his body due to his severe injuries.
In the end, he avoided it by using the technique of Naryeotagon, which is considered the most shameful technique among the martial arts people.
A barrage of arrows rained down non-stop around him as he rolled around.
Deep! Puppuppuk-!
The arrows stuck in the ground increased one by one.
Not a single arrow hit his body, but it was probably unrelated. This attack was just the beginning.
Pungho, who was holding his sword, lowered his lower body and shouted.
“Everyone attack at the same time!!”
At his signal, the bandits surrounding him on all sides began to rush in like a swarm of bees.
Their number was well over seventy.
“Wow!!”
“Waaaaaa!!!”
Jeong Hyeon’s face was full of resentment as he looked at the approaching bandits. It was as if he could not accept the current situation.
‘It’s so ridiculous...’
There wasn’t even a weapon in my hand and even breathing was difficult.
At that moment, the back of Eugene Mountain moving away from here came into view. At that time, the child on his back turned his head.
She was a cute girl with big eyes and chubby cheeks. The child, who looked to be a little over two years old, smiled brightly at himself.
‘Are you saying that he was an absolute master of the martial arts group that was anti-Roh?’
Banrohwandong (返老還童). It refers to a strange phenomenon in which an absolute person who has achieved enlightenment reverts to the form of a child.
There was no other way to interpret the current situation.
As he became convinced, his expression, which was full of resentment, eased little by little. Because I thought that it might not be such a shameful death.
After a while, his new form was buried in a wave of bandits and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Yu Jin-san, having achieved his goal, immediately left the mountain quarters.
There was no need to even check the results.
“Oh my gosh, I’m going to die. “You stupid guys treat an old man like this.”
As if I had been waiting, I heard a mewling sound coming from behind me.
“Oh, Seol is going to die too.”
If it weren’t for her granddaughter, she might have been in a situation where she would have ended up in the same situation.
The child was so cute that I wanted to pat him on the back, but I couldn’t. His right hand was holding a spear, and his left arm could not be moved because of the wound.
“Good job, my baby. “You saved my grandfather’s life.”
If a large faction belonging to the Murim Alliance moves in earnest, how can bandits handle it?
It was natural for Pung-ho to seek advice from the experienced Jin-san Yu.
“There will be stronger ones next time. They may come in droves, or they may come directly as elders. “What method will work in front of them?”
I had already heard about it through Hyunhee.
Although Jeong Hyeon was the highest level of skill among his disciples, there were many even more expert members than him in the Shaman faction.
No matter how much I thought about it, I wasn’t confident I could handle it next time.
“If you have any concerns, please give me some advice.”
Yu Jin-san, sitting cross-legged, gazed intently at the sky.
“It looks like winter will come soon. If you want to live, everyone should leave here before the flowers bloom again. “I won’t be here then either.”
The location of the Wudang faction is in Hubei Province, quite far away from here.
It was most likely spring when they were certain that Jeong Hyeon was missing and attacked here.
But that was something that even Pungho had expected.
“As you know, our family has a lot of mouths. Where can these people go so recklessly...? “We will not survive the winter and will starve to death.”
“Don’t you think there’s money you’ve made by stealing?”
Feng Hao sighed deeply with a dark complexion.
“phew. “If you had wealth, what would you have to worry about?”
Horses were plentiful and most people lived self-sufficiently.
The civilians had little money saved due to the principle of not attacking.
Eugene San said as if he was frustrated.
“Why are these bandits who only live for today so worried? “Shouldn’t we just eat a big meal and run away before winter ends?”
“As you know, there are not many martial forces that we can rob. Moreover, if it is a place with financial resources....”
“It is difficult to try to solve the problem only by force.” First, investigate the surrounding forces and bring them back. “The priority is to find out if there is an appropriate goal.”
Feng Hao’s expression suddenly brightened.
“So you’re saying that the elders are also with you?”
“I haven’t decided yet.”
Eugenesan also needed travel expenses to leave this place.
If there was an opportunity to get a share, there was no reason to turn it down.
At that time, Hyunhee, who was watching from behind, clapped her hands and was happy.
“I think it will be really reassuring to be with Grandpa! “I will investigate which faction in the vicinity has the most money.”
Jinsan Yu nodded once and made a hand gesture.
“okay. If you’re done talking, go back quickly. “I need to get some rest.”
The executives of Heuksando widened their distance and lowered their heads.
“Yes, old man. “Then I will leave.”
“See you next time, Grandpa!”
After a while, Yu Jin-san was left alone and sat down for a while to get some air.
My mind was complicated. The biggest concern was the injury to my left arm.
‘I guess this is the only way.’
He stood up and picked up the Hwaryong Shinchang and Tae-tae, which were set up in front of his residence.
‘I have no choice but to use it like this if it’s urgent.’
He placed the Hwaryongshin Spear between two stones somewhere in the yard. Then he grabbed his bearings.
The purpose was to cut the heirloom in half.
The spear shaft can be remade later and that’s it. First, I planned to make the familiar spear long enough to swing it with one hand.
The blade he was holding had a milky white shine and radiated sword energy.
‘I believe that our ancestors will understand. ‘It’s for the survival of our family.’
How can you feel at ease when you take apart a one-of-a-kind heirloom with your own hands?
A moment later, a sharp sword cut through the shaft of the Fire Dragon Spear.
Sigh-!
He grabbed the cleanly cut spear with one hand and swung it a few times.
Whick! Whick!
“I think this would be quite useful. “The remaining spear poles were trimmed to be thinner so that we can make a snowflake...”
Yu Jin-san stopped talking and closed his eyes. This was because something was discovered in the cross section of the cut off spear shaft.
A small empty space inside the spear shaft. What was rolled up and sticking out was clearly parchment.
‘what?’
When I carefully grabbed the end and pulled, the parchment came out steadily. And there was a lot of small letters written on it.
