Episode 77: How to extinguish a fire
without fail (1) No matter how powerful the Xiafu family was in the region, it was a force that could not join the Five Great Families.
It was impossible for them alone to confront the yin-yang twin monsters that had caused such a stir in Shaanxi.
Taaa-!
Yu Seol’s new form disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“...?”
The warriors of the Hafuse family widened their eyes in surprise. No one saw the child’s movements.
The moment they look around their heads.
Before we knew it, Yoo Seol was swinging the bamboo baton he was holding with both hands in the gap between them.
What the heck-!!
“Ugh!”
One warrior’s back bent like a bow and he rose into the air.
Everyone’s mouths widened at the sight of as many as a dozen pieces being blown off and crashing to the floor with a single blow.
And the moment he rolled around on the floor, two more people fell.
Damn it-!!
The warriors of the Self-Blooded Sword Dan, whose eyes were drooping and whose bodies were limp.
No one really saw how they were attacked.
Formidable movement and attack speed.
Everyone felt it right away. The expert in front of them is a being on a different level from themselves.
As each breath passed, they fell out one by one without even knowing what was going on.
No one could understand the current situation.
As the merciless punishment began in earnest, desperate screams echoed from everywhere.
Knock-! puck-!! Quang-!!
“Kaaak!”
“Oops!”
Was it because the difference in level was so overwhelming? Yuseol didn’t even use things like strong energy or herbivorous food.
Anyone who was hit by a bamboo stick full of bets was rendered incapable of fighting with just one hit.
As the warriors lost their will to fight, what became most urgent was Hahugeuk.
“Everyone catch him first!”
Where Hahugeuk’s gaze was directed, Yujinsan was twitching.
It seemed like he was planning to capture a seemingly easy opponent and use him as a hostage. Sega’s elites began to rush at him, ignoring defense.
However, Jinsan Yu was also not such a gentle opponent.
“Did Nobu look so easy!”
Yujinsan’s weapon was a bamboo spear whose tip was sharpened to enhance its killing power.
Unlike his granddaughter, who beat her enemies without killing them, there was no mercy in his hands.
The sharp air at the tip of the spear split into dozens of branches and swept across the entire area.
Papa Papapot-!!
A ray of light emanated diagonally from Hahugeuk’s sword and faced his herbivore.
Kwaang-!
First clash.
While Hahugeuk took a step back, Yujinsan only took half a step back.
Although they had the upper hand in power, the situation was not very positive. This is because before he could correct his posture, two experts rushed at him from his left and right.
Hahu Byeok, who serves as the leader of the family, and Hahumu, the first son of the family head. They were the most powerful masters in Sega.
At the moment of crisis, Yujinsan’s new model spun around and scattered spears in all directions.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
Hahubyeok and Hahumu hesitate for a moment and retreat. Hahugeuk flew in between them again.
Yu Jin-san also stood up to his onslaught that struck like a thunderbolt without retreating.
bang-! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-!!
With the two qualities mixed together and lightning running rampant, Xiahu Byeok and Xiahumu joined once again.
In the end, Yu Jin-san, who was surrounded by Pum (品), had to swing his spear for life.
One transcendent master and two extreme masters. It was never easy to withstand the attacks of three people who worked well together.
It was a moment of crisis, but he did not fall easily. Isn’t Myeongsaek the head of a spear artist?
The way he calmly defended himself by blocking the approach of enemies was excellent.
Kwa-kwa-kwang-! Kwakwakwang-!!
But I can’t hold on forever. As time passed, Yu Jin-san’s posture gradually collapsed.
It didn’t take long to be pushed to the point of crisis.
Finally, he became impatient and shouted in anger.
“Baby, grandpa is going to die!!”
It was then. As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a strong energy approaching from somewhere.
There, a bamboo stick, engulfed in strong energy, was spinning furiously and approaching.
Whirly lick-!!!
A tremendous martial arts technique that seems to shatter anything.
Ha Hu-geuk, who was pressuring Yu Jin-san from the front, had no choice but to twist his upper body and swing his sword.
Tsk-!!
A tingling sensation in the wrist.
Hahugeuk didn’t even have time to panic, and just opened his eyes wide. This is because from the sky where the bamboo pole flew, a stray snow was approaching, stepping through the air.
The ground was filled with nothing but the sight of families scattered about. Unbelievably, he defeated all of Sega’s elites in that short period of time.
The child’s eyebrows were drawing my river, as if he was very angry.
Even if I tolerated other things, the person who tried to kill my grandfather was an unforgivable rumor.
‘How can such an expert master of the empty space step...’
It was a light engineering technique that he could not even dare to imitate.
Hahugeuk’s eyes were full of doubts, but it was already too late to regret it.
When he saw the name written there, he was shocked and shouted.
“Ha ha, this is a joke!”
Everyone who heard his name relaxed.
It was incredible, but they even captured the head of the family? The most feared masters in Dongjiajang were all dead.
An older man approached Dongwoon-geol with tears in his eyes.
The head of the family, with a flushed expression, was holding Yu Seol with her left arm.
“Brother, it’s all over now. “These guys have finally been punished.”
Dong Woon-geol nodded, glanced at Yu Seol and asked.
“...Did you do that?”
Yu Seol hesitated for a moment. This was because he only hit him but did not kill him.
At that time, Jinsan Yu stepped forward and answered.
“you’re right. “I only helped, but my sister knocked them all down.”
At that moment, hot tears flowed from Dongwoon-geol’s eyes.
The sadness I had endured for so long must have been overcome.
“It’s great. “It’s really great, my babies...”
Dong-gu, who had been watching Dong-woon-geol sobbing as she hugged her grandchildren, cautiously approached her.
“You’ve been through a lot of hardships, father. From now on, let go of all your worries.”
“OK. Well done my son. “You raised your children really well.”
Dong-gu had rarely heard praise from his father since he was young.
Was it because he thought he was acting like a child for the first time? An awkward smile appeared on his face.
“Did I do anything?”
“no. “I’m really proud of you, Dong-gu.”
Dongwoon-geol hugged Dong-gu at once, with Jin-san Yu and her granddaughter in the middle.
But how can Dong-gu be the only child?
Dong-seok, who was watching the scene from afar, shook his head excitedly. Then he gathered the corpses in one place and continued to grumble.
“Ugh. I can’t even farm for my children, so I’m just going to dispose of corpses. “I have to do this so I don’t get kicked out of the house.”
It was a joke that came out when I finally had some peace of mind.
And the people around him couldn’t help but laugh at his words.
The worry that had settled on everyone’s faces disappeared, replaced by bright smiles.
It was the first time since the incident began that the family laughed together like this.
* * *
The next morning, Donggajang’s Jeongchimgak (正寢閣).
The head of the family was burning incense in the hall where ancestral rites were held.
The number in the complex is six. The owners were the five brothers and their wives who died due to persecution by the Xiahu family.
“Now don’t worry about this place and leave with peace of mind. “Just as in this world, in the afterlife you brothers must maintain friendship and take good care of your mother.”
Dongwoongeol poured out a glass of alcohol in front of the complex.
Afterwards, when he came out, several of his family members were talking with serious expressions.
Dong-seok, the youngest son, approached and spoke cautiously.
“Everyone is waiting for their father.”
“...It’s already been so long?”
“You may not want to, but I have to let you go now.”
Dongwoon-geol’s face was darker than ever. It seemed like he couldn’t bear to let go of his grandchildren.
“It’s been so long since we met, so how can we so quickly...”
“You heard from your third brother, that you have to follow in your teacher’s footsteps and go on a training path. “These are children who need to grow up with a lot to eat, but there are bound to be limits to their growth here.”
“...I guess so. “They are too big to hold here.”
Invisible tears formed in the corners of his eyes.
At heart, Dongwoon-geol wanted to see his grandchildren every day. However, he could not block the children’s path because of his own greed.
At the entrance to the manor, Dong-gu and the children were seen carrying luggage.
All the other family members came out and were waiting for him.
“Let’s hug our beautiful grandchildren once in a while.”
Dong-woon-geol, who was holding Yu-seol in his arms, repeatedly patted the child’s back to comfort him.
“Grandpa, I’ll come back to play next time~”
“I’ll definitely come. “Come anytime, my baby.”
Jinsan Yu didn’t necessarily avoid his touch.
I’ve endured it well so far, and there’s nothing I can’t endure a little longer.
“In the meantime, stay healthy.”
“okay. “Our San should not cause trouble and should listen to his sister.”
“...yes.”
It took quite a long time to say goodbye because Dong-woon-geol was repeatedly raising and lowering the children.
“Then I will come back, father.”
“Yes, Dong-gu. “Please take the children to their destination and come back.”
“All right.”
The three of them turned around and walked out of the village in silence for a while.
Eugene San and his granddaughter also seemed to be lost in their own thoughts.
Although it was only a short time, did you feel affection at all? For some reason, I felt sad.
It was only after a while that Dong-gu broke the silence and spoke.
“It’s dizzying to even imagine what would have happened if I hadn’t met the old man and Seol that day.”
Yu Jin-san looked up at Dong-gu and smiled meaningfully.
“That too is fate and heaven’s will. “How are you feeling?”
“I just feel sick to my stomach. But where do we go now?”
Yu Jin-san looked at the distant mountain and answered softly.
“Take the lead. Go to where Hafusega is.”
