Chapter 71. The dragon follows the clouds, the tiger follows the wind (8)
Around him, a dozen people were lying around, and the rest had all run away. Only then did Biho, who had been running wild, put away his sword and spit.
Phew-
Only then did he look back at Jin Ga-yong, his expression clearing from his sinister expression, as if he had felt much better.
“Captain Jin, we’ve seen everything there is to see here, so let’s take our leave now.”
“… … .”
“Or should we just end it?”
“You are now… … .”
Biho cut off Jin Ga-yong’s words.
“No. Let’s do it together. Either we’ll fight like crazy bastards here and die, or we’ll set a separate date. Whatever it takes. You decide.”
At Biho’s somewhat sharp words, Jin Ga-yong looked at the lion’s corps standing tall across the square.
Surrounded by a high and heavy wall, the gunpowder that was close to this chapter looked like a small castle from the outside. But is that all there is to it? According to rumors, it is said that the outward decoration is like that to keep in mind the opinions of the high-ranking officials living in the same city, but if you go inside the outer wall and look at the inner wall, it boasts an iron fortress.
Hoyeonsang was in the gun yard right now. As the explosion occurred and the square became more chaotic than expected, the main gate of the gun yard opened. And he went inside under the protection of the guard warriors. And as a substitute, new warriors were pouring out from the main gate that was opened like that.
So, Jin Ga-yong and Bi-ho were not in a completely relaxed situation, although they had just repelled the enemies that had just arrived, and thus had some space open up for a moment.
So, that was what Biho meant.
Now, the chance to catch Hoyeonsang here has passed, so I have seen everything there is to see, and if I try to get crushed here, the only thing left to do is die, so it is a dog’s death.
“Should we set a separate date? Will we ever see each other again?”
“That’s right. We’ll definitely see that son of a bitch Hoyeon again. I’m going to make it so. I can’t just let him die peacefully, can I?”
“… … .”
When Jin Ga-yong saw it, it seemed like Bi-ho had some kind of plan. Even if he didn’t, he didn’t want to get Bi-ho involved and kill him. He felt like he had to leave, but he felt a deep regret. So he thought. Maybe what he truly wanted today wasn’t revenge, but peace of mind.
May you be free from everything and live in eternity in peace.
Jin Ga-yong sighed at the complicated and entangled feelings like a swarm. However, he was a swordsman. He was used to tying and breaking things, no matter what. So he made up his mind after sighing. So he turned his back on the lion’s head and told Bi-ho to lead the way.
I chose life.
So Biho took the lead and Jin Gayong followed. And just as they were about to leave the square, one of the warriors coming out of the lion’s quarters ran ahead and shouted loudly.
“Get out of here! Where are you guys going, who dared to come to our main event and cause trouble?”
When Biho turned around, the man who had come forward and made a fuss was a big, loud man with squinty eyes, a large, bulbous nose, and a hedgehog-like beard on his chin. Not only did he scold Biho and Jin Ga-yong for running away, he also told all the Lion King warriors to come to their senses and to run and catch those two guys right away and make them kneel. He also threatened to beat them up if they were seen mumbling around here.
It was a kind of incitement, and it made me frown in many ways. The more I listened to it, the more it annoyed me, but the problem was that the incitement actually worked.
In the short time, not only Jin Ga-yong but even Bi-ho had killed many of the warriors of the Lion’s Fang. However, there were still many more warriors alive in this square and its surroundings.
However, now they were collectively in a state of panic. It was because it was a series of shocks that were unbelievable. The brute force that Jin Ga-yong had shown in the beginning, the intense visual effects that followed, and the overwhelming demonstration of force that followed. All of these things, along with the darkness that had now settled over the square, were weighing heavily on their minds and bodies. They were making them anxious and helpless.
Of course, this situation was not something that could last long. However, it was also true that it was of great help to Biho and Jin Ga-yong in their escape right away. No one was willing to step forward to stop them. So Biho thought that at least they would not have much trouble getting out of the square.
However, a new group of people who had never experienced shock and fear directly entered the square. In addition, now that the agitators are coming out and making a fuss, even the previously intoxicated lion warriors are showing signs of coming to their senses.
If we left the agitators to their own devices, things would have been quite tiresome.
“Captain Jin, do you have any spare strength?”
“If by any chance that means that you want me to go there, I would like to decline, but if you still ask, I will do it. Do you want to?”
Biho asked as he ran away, and Jin Ga-yong followed him and answered. Then, a smile appeared on Biho’s face. No matter how much he thought about it, it would not be an easy task, but he said he would do it if you asked.
How plain is this?
‘That’s why I can’t help but like you. But… using a slaughter knife to kill a chicken is definitely a waste of time, isn’t it?’
As I thought about that, I also thought about this. Yes, everything in the world has its own purpose and fit, right? So I guess I should step up and take on those chickens.
In response to Jin Ga-yong’s question about whether Biho wanted it.
“I want to see you, but I’ll put it off. Instead, I’ll ask you a favor sometime on a suitable day, so please do it then.”
“huh?”
“Okay, then I’ll play with them for a bit and then follow you. You go first.”
As Biho spoke, he ran along the roadside wall, then he hit it hard and jumped up. Then he climbed onto the roof. He wanted to get to a higher position and show himself clearly to the enemies who were running towards him.
Then, Biho held back his inner energy and burst out laughing in a loud voice. Pu-ha-ha-ha! Then, he pointed at the instigator running ahead and opened his mouth sharply.
“What a ridiculous man. If Prince Jin of the Yeosan Jo family goes, he goes, and if he comes back, he comes. Who are you to dare tell him to come and go? How disrespectful! Don’t you fear the wrath of heaven?”
At the moment when Biho raised his voice and spoke of ‘Buddhism’ and ‘heaven’, he straightened his index finger and pointed to the sky. Then, a small flame rose up from the tip of the joint of his index finger.
It was a small spark.
However, from the perspective of the warriors running towards Biho, the darkness behind him was thick, so he was clearly visible. Their eyes were focused on him.
What is that?
And then he raised his finger towards the sky and pointed at the agitator, rebuking him sternly, saying, “Aren’t you afraid?”
Uh… No way?
Seolma really caught a person.
With a bang, half of the agitator’s head disappeared. A final scream burst from the mouth that had been agitating him, and with that, he shut his mouth.
“Ahh!”
Divine punishment?
Of course, at that time, some of the people around the dead instigator knew that the direct cause of death was a stone that had come flying in from an unexpected place. I was a joint work with Hyungwoo Saeng, who even hit birds with stones. However, the son-in-law was dark, and Biho acted so well that he attracted attention, so the vast majority did not know this fact. So they only felt it was amazing and grotesque.
Now, people are dying from a single point of a finger, so why isn’t that the case? Is Jin Ga-yong really receiving protection from heaven?
There was a commotion.
The psychological anxiety of the crowd, which was about to disperse, was amplified, which naturally made their steps heavier.
“Hmph. Stop shedding blood in vain and step aside. Today is not the day! Prince Jin says that he will visit again soon to meet the rascal who has been causing chaos in the world. At that time, tell him to come out and tell him not to hide like a young cub and drive out his innocent subordinates and kill them!”
After Biho finished his speech, he jumped down from the roof. Then, he ran ahead again, saying to Jin Ga-yong, who was looking at him with strange eyes, “Should we go now?”
The sight was refreshing.
Jin Ga-yong followed and lightly touched his cheek. Just now, Bi-ho had gilded the faces of Jo Ga-jang and himself, who were no longer there. It was excessive, but he was grateful. His face was flushed.
Ta-da-dak.
The two of them turned the square in front of the Lion’s Headquarters upside down and left leisurely. There was no one to stop them from going any further.
‘That bastard is a grown up bastard!’
The first match with Sajabang, which ended with such cursing that Biho spread throughout the world, heated up the martial arts world. Although he failed to cut Hoyeonsang’s neck, who would bring up that fact and disparage the achievements the two had made?
There were too many eyes watching him. That’s why Hoyeonsang held a banquet in the square. Unfortunately, the result was that he became the trigger for being laughed at as a young child, but whatever.
When people talked about Jin Ga-yong and Bi-ho that day, four words came to mind.
Cloud dragon, wind tiger.
A direct translation would be, “The dragon follows the clouds, and the tiger follows the wind.” The meaning was to metaphorically describe two heroes like a dragon and a tiger who have a good spirit and temperament. So it was enough to explain the incident where the two stirred up the lion’s nest and left.
The current world of martial arts is in a transitional period.
It was a process of changing from a time when individual power was revered and people were swayed by that ability, to a time when the power of the group and the person in power at the top of that group created the order of the martial world.
Those in power who became the masters of the new order were aggressive. If they could not do it as individuals, they would attack as a group and bite, and if that was not enough, they did not hesitate to bring in money and government power. In the process, they relatively neglected their own lack of personal military power, and solved it by hiring capable warriors.
The unification wars that took place in various parts of the Central Plains were like this. The case of the Wujin Alliance in Shaanxi Province was a good example, and the downfall of the best warrior in Shaanxi Province, the Inyi Sword, Zhao Banshan, and his Zhao family, was also an extension of this trend.
So, some people who were unable to adapt to the new order lamented this state of affairs.
It was a major incident that broke out at that time.
The Yeosan Jo family was destroyed, and the last surviving swordsman drew his sword. And with the classic excuse of ‘revenge’, he clashed with the Sajabang alone. They were the symbolic beings of the new order, and here in Shaanxi Province.
And we got meaningful results!
So it seemed like a crushing blow from the declining powers of the past to the new powers. That’s why the people of the martial arts world were so excited, and this story, which is still not over, eventually became a legend.
