“We have to follow right away. Kill all of them.” Episode 112

The Twelve Apostles are twelve forces representing the Four Sects.

But even though they are the same twelve apostles, they are not the same age.

There are places that boast powerful forces that look down on the world, such as the Sahwangseong (邪皇城), which can be compared to the Murim Alliance, and there are places that have made their name in the Sado Twelve Ages with the existence of a single absolute master, such as the Beimyeongjang led by the Iron Tower King Zhang Liang.

There are also groups that have reached the top in one field, like Salmak.

Hwanmilu is not a place that was named after the 12th century based on strong military force.

Those who do the dirtiest things at the very bottom.

Prostitution, gambling, and opium… … .

There are things that should disappear, but they don’t disappear because there are people who look for them.

But someone has to get rid of it… … .

Even if it happens again.

It seeped into the shadow of the makeup room.

Everyone was inside the villa, except for the guys patrolling outside.

Nok Seung-seo headed towards the warehouse in the back.

I went inside through the half-open window.

The pungent smell of dandelion.

Rolling bottles of liquor.

And naked women sprawled out, drugged.

What kind of tension could there be in guarding a villa with a little girl hidden in it?

Still, they are the ones who would risk their lives if it was Rouge’s order.

Surely there must be quite a few people awake where the child is hidden.

They are the Hwanmilu guys, so if there is a problem, they will take the child hostage.

Where could it be hidden?

The most suspicious basement.

He cut off the heads of the two men sleeping in front of the door and went down quietly.

Ugh.

One spot on the floor feels subtly different.

There is clearly a small space underneath the floor.

It’s not big enough to hide a person. Let’s check this place later…

I searched other areas of the basement again.

There were signs that someone had been there until recently, but no sign of the child.

Perhaps the Ghost Lord, under Rouge’s instructions, moved it to another location.

The question is where that place is… … .

I quietly went up to this floor of the villa.

Small rooms, closely packed together with narrow hallways between them.

This is probably where the guards of this place reside.

It is now the hour of the tiger.

It’s time for everyone to be asleep, except for a few guys patrolling outside and some drunken punks on the first floor.

In the last fight with the Blood Cult Leader, he gained the power of Hongan.

The final stage of the dark soul technique I had mastered.

Of course, there seems to be something more behind it, but in any case, from what I’ve learned, this is the final stage.

Of course, reaching the final stage of the Dark Soul does not mean that you can see beyond the wall.

But there are some people who have no choice but to stay awake.

There will be a child there.

I raised the energy of my whole body to the limit.

The breathing of the sleeping ones seems to be right next to me.

Even the sound of snoring and teeth grinding.

and…….

Found it!

Six people are gathered in a large room in the middle of the hallway.

Everyone is awake.

A location where all the guys sleeping on the left and right sides of the hallway will jump out if there’s a problem.

In that case, we have no choice but to clean up as quickly as possible and take the child out.

I walked up to the door.

I could roughly estimate their location by the sound of their breathing.

Two on the left, and three on the right.

The remaining one is located separately on the innermost wall of the room.

And then there was another faint, faint sound of breathing next to him.

There’s a guy stuck right next to the kid… … .

If there’s an attack, they plan to take the child hostage right away.

If someone comes in through a door or window, they will immediately put a knife to the child’s neck.

Things have gotten a bit more complicated, but there is a way.

I went back outside and climbed up the wall to this floor.

The target is the room next to the room with the child.

As I sneaked through the window, I saw four people sleeping oblivious to the world.

Swish. Swish.

They quietly beheaded each other one by one in the darkness.

And then he approached the wall adjacent to the room where the child was.

I could hear the voices of those guarding the child.

Dirty conversation between trashy kids.

I guess it’s about this much… … .

I touched a spot on the wall with my fingertips.

A place where you can feel the breath of the man carrying the child.

He swung his fist at it.

* * *

“Did you hear that the Salmak branch in Chungking was wiped out last time? They say that it might have been the work of that guy called Dammyeong.”

One of the ghost soldiers opened his mouth.

“That’s because those kids are retards. Ha, by the way, I’m so sleepy. Is it still a long way to go before we change shifts?”

“Shut up and hold on to that girl. If something goes wrong, don’t forget to put a knife to her throat.”

The mayor made a strong request.

Even if you die, at least scream before you die.

“No, but do you really have to go this far? Who’s coming to save her? That savage’s daughter, like that blind man or something?”

“I don’t know either. But our Rouge had this kind of premonition. If she sent our Ghost Corps here, she must have felt something. Or she must have some information that we don’t know. Right?”

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m so sleepy. But this girl is pretty when I look at her closely.”

He looks very haggard from being locked up in this villa for a long time.

Plus, since I’ve been giving him sleeping pills regularly, he won’t be able to walk properly when he wakes up.

“I thought women with savage blood were amazing. But how old did she say she was?”

“I guess I’m about ten years old… … .”

Boom!

At that moment, a hand burst through the back wall with a loud noise.

And then he grabbed the neck of the guy who was talking right next to the girl.

A hand so large that the entire neck can fit in the palm of one’s hand.

“Ugh.”

The guy who had been chatting with me until just a moment ago grabbed his neck and started to whine, then rolled his eyes and collapsed.

Kwarrrr.

Then a man of enormous build appeared through a wall and lifted the girl into his arms with one hand.

And then he opened his mouth to face the speechless ghost soldiers at the unbelievable sight.

“You guys must be having a hard time up this late.”

Crunch, rustling.

In an instant, severed heads were scattered throughout the room.

* * *

“The enemy!”

The loud noise of the wall breaking woke the sleeping men and they came running.

There is no need to fight unnecessarily while holding a child.

Because a child could get hurt by a blind knife.

He jumped out the window on this floor and shouted.

“Green Book!”

At the same time, the south wall of the back warehouse collapsed and something popped out.

Dusk blue.

And stood beside me.

“How is the child?”

“Not very good.”

The third level of the Dark Soul’s mind is the ability to read the flow of energy within the body to some extent.

Fortunately, there are no major visible wounds, but the blood flow is a mess.

Perhaps it was because he was locked up and neglected for a long time at a young age.

The child’s face, half of which is from a foreign country, is so pale that he has not seen the sunlight for so long.

“Then please, I will open the way for you, so go carefully.”

“Okay, I understand. Get organized quickly and follow me.”

I carefully handed the child over to Nok Seung-seo and turned my gaze in the direction we had come from.

About fifty ghost soldiers were standing blocking the road.

The rest surrounded them on all sides, blocking their escape route.

Everyone is first class or better.

Three or four people including Daeju would be above the peak.

One man stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“What are they talking about, telling each other to be careful and follow me? Hehe. They don’t even know who’s in front of them.”

Looks familiar.

I guess it’s the ghost king.

I don’t even know the name.

There’s no need to converse with people who are about to die.

I looked up at the sky.

A new moon without even moonlight.

It’s just the right time… … .

The power of the dark soul division, the power of the red eye.

The pinnacle of eye attack that shows the best trajectory to kill the opponent.

Thump.

The blood vessel in my left eye burst.

Dozens of lines stretching out in all directions at the same time.

As red and bright as blood.

“What, what is it? Why is that kid’s left eye like that?”

“Haa. It’s not like I came across some beast in the mountains in the middle of the night… … .”

Yeah, everyone reacted like this.

Not knowing that the last thing he would see in the world would be my red eyes.

Tadah.

He rushed towards the guys.

The men were flustered and swung their swords, not expecting the surrounded man to rush in first.

Crunch, thud.

My neck fell off and my body collapsed.

In the dark of the night, my sword danced along the tangled red threads.

In an instant, a path appeared in the middle of them.

It’s nice that there’s no need to give a lot of instructions to Nok Seung-seo, who is quick-witted and decisive.

Nok Seung-seo, who had been following me closely while holding the child, jumped forward.

“Catch the guy holding the child!”

The men on the left and right rushed at Nok Seung-seo, but he didn’t even look away.

Because I’m behind you.

Crunch! Roll… … .

The neck of the guy who rushed in first rolled on the floor.

The guys who were trying to chase after Nok Seung-seo stopped in front of me.

He muttered as he looked at the guys who were hesitating and unable to rush in.

“It’s a very bright red… … .”

“What, what are you talking about? Red? What does that mean…?”

The thread connected by the power of Hongan reveals different colors depending on the opponent’s level.

The easier the opponent, the brighter and redder it is.

The more difficult the opponent, the lighter and more faint the red color becomes.

“What are you talking about? It means you are going to die soon!”

* * *

Hwanmilru.

“What? An attack on Cheonhwajang? The child disappeared?”

Ma Jeong-so suddenly stood up from his seat.

“What about Maeng Deung-ho? Didn’t that kid attack you with the ronin he used to hang out with?”

“They say that Maeng Deung-ho never took a single step outside the inn.”

“No, then who took the child? What did the ghosts there do while the child was gone?”

“That, that… … .”

The man prostrated before the magician hesitated and was unable to answer.

“What the heck? Didn’t you all just drink and pass out? You crazy kids… … .”

“Everyone, everyone is dead… … .”

“What, all fifty members of the Gwiryungdae? Including the Gwiryungdae leader?”

“For now, let’s get in touch… … .”

Ma Jeong-so slumped down on his seat.

“Ha, what’s going on? Did the Murim Alliance invade? No, even if that were the case, fifty members of the Guilyeongdae wouldn’t be easy to defeat. Shouldn’t there have been corpses of the guys who attacked? What kind of guys were they?”

These guys have been through a lot from the bottom.

If it’s a fight to the death, these guys are capable of taking on even the most skilled of masters.

Even if it was an attack by a great force, the damage suffered by those who fought against the Guilyeongdae would have been considerable.

“There were only the corpses of the Gwiryeongdae at the scene… …. The scars left on the corpses were all the same. It seems like they were all attacked by the same guy.”

“what?”

Do I have to listen to such ridiculous and absurd reports?

It would be difficult for even oneself to wipe out the Ghost Corps alone.

No, how many great masters are there in the Central Plains?

Ma Jeong-so’s mind became complicated.

‘if……?’

A guy named Dammyeong from the Beast Gate came to mind.

Gilpiljong, the elder of the Gwieummun and one of the 100 greatest swordsmen of the Sapa, was burned to death by the sword of this guy.

Not long ago, it was said that the heart of the master of the long sword, Maok Hwasang, was pulled out with his bare hands, and the shell of the Seven Star Ark was peeled off.

I asked again.

“What was the condition of the bodies? Were they burned to death, or had their hearts ripped out? Or had their skin peeled off… .”

“It was absolutely slick. They say that all those people were killed by a single sword, and there were only two causes of death: either their throats were cut, or their hearts were pierced… .”

Then it’s not that guy named Dam-myeong.

Even if by some chance that guy is an absolute master with incredible hidden skills, he has nothing to do with this incident at Cheonhwajang.

It’s too clean to be the work of a savage.

‘Then who on earth is it? Are you saying that some incredible master I don’t know has appeared…?’

An image of an absurd person’s face appeared in my head, but I quickly erased it.

A special assassination attempt by Salmak, known as Hong-an-gwi.

I heard that dozens of first-class assassins that Salmakju had sent to kill the guy died like that.

A single blow to the neck or a piercing heart.

A guy who was too precious to kill.

‘No. What kind of nonsense are you thinking about when someone is already dead…?’

Ma Jeong-so shook his head and shook off his distracting thoughts.

‘Who on earth could it be? How could such a skilled master have caused such a bloody disaster just because of a little girl? Even knowing that it was Cheonhwajang’s villa or Majeongso’s? … ?’

The only thing missing is Maeng Deung-ho’s young daughter.

To him, he may be able to use the great master Meng Denghuo as a puppet, but what value would he have to someone else?

She’s just the daughter of a dirty savage.

“Haa, who the hell… … .”

As Ma Jeong-so let out a sigh, the existence of the underground secret vault suddenly came to mind.

The place where Hwanmilu’s secret funds were hidden.

A voucher worth a whopping one hundred thousand nyang of gold.

A huge sum of money that could buy an entire sect.

And now there are even precious elixirs that are no longer available.

And there, ‘it’ is also hidden.

‘That’ thing that should never be revealed to the outside world…

‘Oh, no… … .’

Only he knows the existence of Cheonhwajang’s secret vault.

A small space created beneath the basement floor.

We hired the best craftsmen and made it without any seams.

The craftsman was killed right away.

‘So it’ll be safe there. Sure.’
