#descendants of the huns

I felt the horse’s hard, motionless skin and was certain of its death.

And beneath the settled dust, I could see the sight of someone bleeding profusely, as if they had been stabbed to death by something.

How could this be… … .

Clearly, no one was chasing him.

When my mind becomes blank with questions.

“Are you the iron horse?”

A man’s voice drifted from the roof of a nearby building. He raised his head and suddenly, a man who had fallen to the ground like a shadow faced him.

He has an ordinary appearance and wears a white uniform. He is the guy whose eyes met mine at the Bulmun Guest House earlier.

“… … Is this your doing?”

Gwapyeong asked in a very cold voice.

There was no excess of emotion at the horse’s death.

Originally, when going to the battlefield, they would take five or six horses with them. When they got tired, they could change horses, and when they got hungry, they could slaughter and eat them.

I was upset that it was just one guy chasing me.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have had to run so hard.

“Thanks to that, I ended up being the only one being a jerk. There was no need to go to the captain for something like that.”

Gwapyeong muttered in a strange language, not in Korean.

Then Jang-seo narrowed his eyes and asked again.

“Can’t you speak Chinese? I’ll ask again. A few days ago, a fifteen-year-old boy came to the inn. That boy. Did you take him?”

“The boy from a few days ago? Oh, oh. Are you talking about that impudent guy who followed us around so brazenly? You were the guy who came looking for that kid. Haha, I thought the Biryongdang guys were disguised. He was nothing special.”

“What do you mean?”

“You don’t have to know. After all, he’s just a kid… … But what should I do? It’s already too late to look for him.”

Gwapyeong chuckled as if he was trying to take medicine. When Jang Yi-seo tilted his head as if he didn’t understand at all, he continued speaking with an even more bitter smile.

“That little brat, and I don’t know why he keeps lingering in front of us, but just give up. You idiot demons will search the north again to find us, but it’s no use. By now, that brat will have been dragged into the Dead Sea. Hehe.”

“Death Sea… …? Could it be that you are referring to the Desert of Death in Cheonsannam-ro?”

“Oh, you know so well! There’s someone so knowledgeable in the Demonic Cult. But wait… … .”

Gwapyeong’s eyes become blank as if he had been hit hard in the back of the head.

“Why is that?”

“Why? Isn’t it strange?”

“What are you talking about?”

“The very thing you’re asking me right now is this!”

“Why is that?”

“Eeeeek! How are you answering my every question!”

Gwapyeong’s face turned red like a demon and he screamed.

At this, Jang Yi-seo smiles creepily.

That’s when I realized.

“Hey, you bastard. You tricked me! You knew what we were saying!”

Do you get it now?

Jang Yi-seo went even further as if he had nothing more to lie about.

“You… … are descendants of the Huns.”

Yes, the words he spoke were the language of the Huns.

Long ago, there was a time when they ruled the North, but now they have fallen into ruin and only small villages are barely holding on.

Originally, he was famous for his strong bones and good horsemanship.

It is understandable that he has such rugged features and a physique that is hard to find in the central plains.

“Answer me correctly! How do you know what we’re talking about!”

Gwapyeong changed his words and questioned him in Korean, as if he had nothing more to hide.

Jang Yi-seo then answered as he was told.

“Isn’t it the same reason that you, a Xiongnu, know the language of the Central Plains?”

“gibberish!”

Yeah, that’s bullshit. In fact, the overestimation was just bad luck.

Of all people, I happened to meet Jang Il-seo, the best agent of the rock carvings who was fluent in all languages.

Jang Il-seo calmly approaches one step at a time.

“Anyway, I understand that you took Maeng-hui to Sahae. Then I think we need to talk more.”

Conversation? This is my conversation. At Jang Yiseo’s suggestion, Gwa Pyeong assumed a posture similar to that of a swordsman and shouted.

“You heard things you shouldn’t have heard. I must kill you and shut your mouth.”

“I said all that with my own mouth, and now you’re blaming others? Isn’t that too far-fetched?”

“Die-!”

This is the case when communication is not possible even if language is available. Gwapyeong ran out and swung his large fist.

Boohoo!

The left hand is pulled to protect the lower jaw, and the right hand is used to support the body weight and fly sideways.

‘Is this a Western martial art?’

Although he is not a martial artist of the Central Plains, he is a Xiongnu with a naturally strong physique. Moreover, among them, Gwa-pyeong is the best at flying and crawling.

The power of the rush or the weight of the load. It is not something to be taken lightly.

Shhh!

As Jang Yiseo dodged by jumping backwards, Gwa Pyeong immediately turned his waist again and rushed forward swinging his left hand.

Quick transition!

“If this conversation is more comfortable for you, then by all means.”

Although he may not be comparable to the outwardly affable Gwapyeong, Jang Yiseo was not an easygoing person.

Rather, when it comes to body-based conversations, he is more honest and bold than anyone else.

Woohoo!

Jang Il-seo swung his sword at Gwa-pyeong’s chest as he ran towards him. If it had been in the past, it would have been different, but he was already armed with Cheonma’s internal energy.

Although it was shot late, it was sharp and free of unnecessary elements.

“Huh! What are you going to do with those little bracken-like hands!”

However, Gwapyeong did not seem to have any intention of avoiding it and continued to attack without putting down his fist. It seemed like he was going to take as many hits as he wanted.

But this is to underestimate Jang Seo.

Contrary to his appearance, the magical energy contained in his palm is enough to turn rocks into dust.

And the price for underestimating was clear.

Crack.

“Kahak-!”

His left hand, which had reached Jang-seo’s side with a terrible noise, stopped as if struck by lightning. Saliva flowed from his mouth and his face was distorted in pain.

A crack in a sturdy bone that could withstand falling rocks.

“This new… … kid… … .”

Another thing that surprised me was Jang Seo as well. The work of a master who could even break rocks ended with only a line drawn on his bones. What on earth did he eat to grow up?

Moreover, it did not end here.

“I’ll kill you-!”

Gwapyeong’s eyes suddenly rolled and he started to run wild like an animal, as if the pain was nothing.

Boom! Boo!

Even anger became faster and stronger as a source of strength.

As Jang Seo-ga avoided it by falling back, he soon reached the wall of a small building.

And a fist flying towards the face.

“this.”

Then, Jang Yi-seo lowered his body to avoid it, and, Kwaaaaang!

The wall he had hit with his fist shattered and scattered like a blast. But his hand was intact, with only gravel dust on it.

A body that is truly ignorant.

‘At this point, it wouldn’t be strange to think of him as a master of the highest level. I understand why Sahojeong said that.’

This is definitely an opponent that cannot be ignored. What’s more, he is even snorting as if he can’t even see me right now. He has literally lost his senses.

Whoosh. Jang-seo turned sideways and made room for himself.

He quickly caught his breath and pulled out the dagger from his waist.

‘He’s definitely strong, but he’s one level lower than Wang Woo. If he uses brain power, it’ll be quick, but… … .’

He still has a lot to say.

It’s a story about someone who shouldn’t die yet.

therefore.

“Come in.”

I will deal with you with my skills.

Jang Yi-seo waved his hand while making a sound.

“Kuaaaah!”

A furious and angry rush to the top.

In response, Jang Seo also shot out like a ray of light.

Papa Pot!

The close combat between the two lasted for about a dozen rounds in an instant.

If Gwapyeong threw down the gauntlet with his powerful fists and physical strength, Jang-seo responded with quick and sure swordsmanship.

And the result was enough for the words that Gwapyeong spat out.

“This little loach… …!”

Jang-seo dodged the attack by keeping a distance of exactly one inch, as if he had predicted it.

As the gap narrowed, the speed of the subsequent counterattack was also incredible.

Pfft pfft!

“Huh!”

In that split second, five scars were carved into Gwapyeong’s body.

Fortunately, his muscles, as strong and tough as a horse, do not allow fatal injuries.

“This kid!”

In response, Gwapyeong gave up his body and counterattacked.

This is truly a brute force tactic.

One effect was clear.

puck!

Jang Yi-seo was pushed back for a long time by the punch he threw.

Even though I crossed my arms and blocked it, it was still like this.

“You’re holding up pretty well!”

Gwapyeong, who had gained momentum, charged like an angry rhinoceros.

At the same time, an indiscriminate series of attacks unfolds.

Papapapapak!

Jang Yi-seo was pushed back helplessly. It was a situation where he had to rush to block and avoid.

‘It won’t be easy to deal with anyone but the average person. He’s definitely strong.’

Although his natural muscle mass and movements were excellent, his fists were clearly loaded with air power.

I don’t know where he learned it, but it’s at a level that can never be ignored.

Moreover, the escape strategy was excellent, and the intentional attempt to cause confusion by using the language of the Xiongnu was also excellent.

‘They are definitely pitiful. If only they hadn’t laid hands on Mt. Mihon and kidnapped Maeng-hui… … .’

One thing’s for sure, the milk is already spilled.

‘The Biryongdang will be here soon.’

It’s not a perfect relationship, but it’s an incident where the six princes were kidnapped. No matter how crazy you are, you should have that much sense.

Right now, our priority is to cooperate with them and find Maeng-Hui.

Jang Yi-seo bought time by avoiding Gwa-pyeong’s attacks.

Then, after a while.

[Stop-!]

The sharp sound of a battle rang out, and warriors in pure white robes began to fall like a shower.

‘You came!’

Warriors with puffy sleeves and a golden flying character embroidered on their backs.

“Biryong… … Party.”

Gwapyeong muttered with a blank expression.

Biryongdang.

To those who operate outside of the Cheonmasin Church, they are like grim reapers.

Finally they arrived.

“shit…….”

Naturally, the fight between the two stopped. No matter how wild Gwa-pyeong was, he had no more talent to show off when Biryongdang surrounded him on all sides and was swinging his sword.

That’s a real one-shot deal.

But he wasn’t the only one who was confused. Jang Yi-seo was the same.

‘Why are these guys here… …?!’

They were clearly the warriors of the Biryongdang that he had been waiting for. However, this was very different from what he had expected.

The fact that the character for flying (飛) is embroidered in gold means that it is the best.

And the fact that they appeared in a group like this meant only one thing.

“Hohoho! From now on, I’ll put a feather on every moving guy’s body. It’s going to sting quite a bit.”

A poisonous voice echoed through the room.

Jang I-seo and Gwa-pyeong’s heads rose.

Then, I saw her standing on the roof of the building.

A woman with a green jewel in the center of her forehead and a strange outfit full of bird-like white fur.

Despite being over 40 years old, she has the appearance of a sharp beauty in her thirties.

From its appearance to its exuded aura, it has a truly tremendous presence.

“Who is that woman?”

Gwapyeong asked with great tension.

Jang-i swallowed dry saliva and answered.

“The Lord of the Flying Dragons… … .”

A terrible bad relationship with Jang Il-seo.

A bird that flies thousands of miles.

It was Myo Chae-kyung, the owner of the Biryongdangju Manri Sinjo (a bird with a body of ten thousand miles).

“How dare you go out of the suburbs without permission. Hahaha, you’re still not in your right mind.”
