Chapter 16 – 17. Show Your Dignity-1

Thump thump

The sound of footsteps was heard in Seonwoo’s ears, who had closed his eyes.

‘What are you talking about!?’

Seonwoo, who woke up at the sound of footsteps, quickly grabbed the sword.

Judging by the volume of the sound, it appeared to be coming from outside the cavity.

After reaching the peak, thanks to the extremely developed hearing, footsteps sounded loud as if they were right in front of my eyes, despite the considerable distance.

Buck

Buck

However, the owner of the footsteps was not one or two.

A dizzying sound of footsteps of different sizes began to reach his ears.

‘Who is it?.’

In the first place, the only person who knew about the existence of the hiding place was Lee Jae-won, the teacher, but there were several owners of the sound of footsteps.

Seonwoo glared at the common entrance with a nervous expression.

Soon the footsteps grew louder and louder, and the owners of the footsteps appeared in the cavity.

“As expected, you were here. Jangsam”

“Daylight!?!?”

The first man to appear was Geopaedodo Jugwang. Then, 4 men appeared behind them.

All of them, including Georyong Ilchang, who had a fight with Seonwoo, were all strong players at the level of masters at their peak.

“Call me Joo-gwang Budang-lord, you spoiled bastard.”

“Why are you here?

“That’s what I want to ask. Why did you do that?”

“It’s all a misunderstanding, Lord Budang. I’ve never killed Paengsojeo…”

“How much did you suffer, was it very difficult?”

Joo-gwang took a benevolent attitude and spoke kindly to Seon-woo.

It was a completely different attitude from before, when he concluded that he was the culprit in the interrogation room of the law enforcement party and threatened him.

Seonwoo felt uneasy about Joo-gwang’s sudden change of attitude.

‘Isn’t this bastard like this?’

Joo-gwang in Jang-sam’s memory may have been from a young man, but he was a young boy with a harsh tone no matter what he said.

However, his friendly demeanor aroused suspicion.

“Now we’ve found the real culprit, your name has been cleared.”

Seon-wu was pleased with Joo-gwang’s words.

It was the car that Joo-gwang came to think about.

Should I fight this or run away?

But how fortunate it is that the name has been cleared.

“But there’s a problem, the culprit hasn’t been caught, externally, you’re the culprit.”

“Why not?”

“It’s hard to dig up because the culprit is a high-ranking person, so we’re putting off arrest until we find solid evidence.”

Sunwoo nodded his head if it was plausible.

If it is related to a high-ranking official, it will be difficult to dig it up.

“So I’m going to tie up first. Jangsam”

At Joo-gwang’s command, the leaders of the law enforcement party began approaching Seon-woo with ropes.

“Wait a minute, Budang-lord! I will go to Master on my own feet.”

“Unfortunately, that can’t be the case, Jangsam externally. You’re a criminal who escaped after overpowering the warriors of the ruling party. If you take such a heinous criminal to the Lord without tying him up, it will be ridiculous.”

“Isn’t that the disprove that I am innocent myself!.”

“No matter how innocent you are, you can’t face the lord without restraint. That’s the rule. That’s the rule.”

After hearing Joo-gwang’s words, Seon-wu was troubled.

In the past, Jangsam, as a leader, had worked for the law enforcement party for a short time, so he knew that Jugwang was right.

According to the Blind Law, the person who has committed a crime or is suspected must be restrained from physical freedom in order to face the Lord.

It was also a law made in fear of assassination or escape.

But something was very unsettling.

I understood in my head, but my heart was very uncomfortable.

But soon, he held out both hands innocently.

It was suspicious, but whatever it was, Joo-gwang was his own samurai instead of the irresponsible Lee Jae-won, and he was a teacher who laid the basic framework of martial arts.

I didn’t even want to think that he would do anything to harm me.

This was a possible thought because he still believed in Ju-gwang as Jang-sam.

Of course, from Seonwoo’s point of view, since he was interrogated, he was judged as a criminal, and since he was a bully who bullied him, he didn’t trust him, but he decided to trust his memory as Jangsam.

Clap

A restraint made of steel tightly wrapped Sunwoo’s hand.

And a rope made of iron began to bind his body.

Kkwaak

Tight

I felt a lot of pressure on my body from how tightly it was tied.

If he had reached the heights of transcendence and put such a load on his hardened body, he would have tied him up almost to his limit.

“Take it easy, you bastard.”

Seonwoo said to Georyong Ilchang, who was tying the rope.

“I have no intention of listening to the words of a murderer.”

“Because I’m not a murderer!”

Puck

Just then, someone hit Jangsam in the back of the head.

“You bastard!!!, You bastard!!”

The one who struck him in the back of the head was a soldier named E-Dawn Yong-Il-Hoe, the leader of the law enforcement party.

“What are you doing!”

Joo-gwang, who saw this, shouted, but Yong-il-hoe shed tears and said.

“Lee Ja-sik is the shameless murderer who killed Seol-mae. But such a shameless attitude!!”

Having been slapped on the back of the head, Seonwoo felt more puzzled than displeased.

Wasn’t he being framed for the murder of Jiyoon Paeng? Who was the seolmae that Yongilhoe said?

It was then.

Match

Another of the leaders slapped Seonwoo on the cheek.

“You son of a bitch, my brother!!”

The man glared at Sunwoo with a face flushed with anger.

“No fuck, who’s your brother?”

“It’s the phoenix hall’s Hayera!”

“So who’s that, dude?”

“She’s the poor woman you brutally murdered and abandoned in a brothel.”

The one who answered his question was Georyongilchang.

“Are you saying that the name of a woman you’ve already killed isn’t even worth remembering? You’re just like a corrupt slut.”

Seonwoo felt dumbfounded at Georyong Ilchang’s answer.

Hadn’t he been framed and had been stuck in a hideout for half a year, but what kind of carelessness was that?

“Not only Ha Ye-ra, but countless female co-ops, including Sojeo Yun Ji-hwa of Golden Butterfly and Akso-seol, the fiancée of Yongilhoe’s friend, were slaughtered by you, and their bodies were all found in a state of disrepair.”

“Damn it I didn’t do it!?!”

“Why don’t you stop acting, Jangsam has already secured all the evidence in the circumstances.”

“I was framed for killing Pang Ji-yoon, and I was stuck in the hideout for half a year. What are you talking about!”

“No, you must have kidnapped the female co-ops of the Heavenly Armed Forces, going back and forth to the hideout. No one knew the location of the secret hideout except the Lord Lord, so it was only natural that they couldn’t find you.”

“No, just go to Master and all misunderstandings will be cleared up!”

“I’m sorry, but you won’t have a chance to protest. Jangsam.”

At Georyong Ilchang’s words, Seonwoo could feel a sense of uneasiness creeping up on him.

“What?”

“The Heavenly Armed Lord excommunicated you, Jangsam, and proclaimed it as Murim’s achievement.”

“…”

Seonwoo was so shocked at the moment that he couldn’t speak.

After hearing a word about Moorim’s feat, it was because everything felt unrealistic.

No matter how much he is called a teacher who is indifferent to his disciples, wasn’t Jangsam definitely a great disciple?

However, Lee Jae-won confirmed the crime of the great disciple who had raised him for 20 years without even having a chance to explain it.

That is also in the public interest of the Murim people, which is called the Murim Gongjeok.

Moorim achievement was harder to declare than expected.

Since Moorim was full of Eun-won in the first place, it was Moorim’s natural course to be more lenient than expected, even if it was a murderer who committed a massacre, if it was a murder by Eun-won.

However, Seon-woo opened his eyes to the fact that he, who had been suspected of being the victim of a murder case, had become a Moorim official.

Seonwoo turned his eyes in surprise and looked at Joo-gwang in front of him.

Joo-gwang’s warm expression from earlier had cooled down as if it were a lie.

“Lord Budang, how is this?”

“Don’t resist, face your end quietly. Jangsam, you are already finished.”

“What is that!!. You said you believed in me!”

“Of course I believe in you, but the world doesn’t believe in you, so I can’t help it.”

“This… Doggie.”

Sunwoo shed tears.

After losing his parents to a group of bandits and being taken in by Lee Jae-won as a disciple, he was abandoned with only one secret salary and left unattended.

Even when everyone scolded him for being the world’s dunjae, it was Joo-gwang who comforted him, saying that it wasn’t your fault and that martial arts were difficult.

Joo-gwang’s betrayal was more painful to Seon-woo than the betrayal of Lee Jae-won, his teacher.

“You still have a lot of tears, I told you to fix it.”

Tears flowed incessantly.

As Jang-sam, he must have had a strong reliance on Joo-gwang, so it was natural.

Joo-gwang looked at the scene, and his taste was bitter.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have affection for Jang-sam, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Paeng Karyeon, who was in an inappropriate relationship with herself, wanted Jang-sam to die, and even Lee Jae-won, his teacher, offered Jang-sam as a sacrifice.

There was nothing he could do in this situation.

It was just doing as it was commanded.

I raised him like a child, but he is not a real child.

Joo-gwang justified himself and turned around.

It was because it was a little uncomfortable to look at Jangsam directly.

‘Poor guy, don’t be born as a disciple of a human being like a leader in the next life’

Joo Gwang, who wished Jang Sam to rest in peace, ordered the commanders.

“Take Jangsam, and go up to Cheonmu-maeng.”

“”Name””

And I started moving towards the aisle first.

It was because listening to Jangsam’s cries would only increase his guilt.

The captains moderately received Joo-gwang’s words and began to drag the weeping Jang-sam away.

Whimper

Jangsam shed tears incessantly.

Not only tears, but also a lot of runny nose flowed out, giving him a ridiculous look, but he didn’t care and cried uncontrollably.

As if pouring out all the tears she had ever cried for the rest of her life, she kept her tears flowing.

It was resentment, anger, and sadness toward Joo-gwang and his teacher, Lee Jae-won, who betrayed him.

Line line

And at some point

Pop

The tears welling up in his eyes stopped.

“Whoa~ I’m all crying now.”

After crying, Seonwoo smiled refreshingly and began to laugh.

It was Jang-sam’s feelings that made him cry because he felt betrayed by Joo-gwang and Lee Jae-won.

In the first place, Seonwoo, who was not worthy of the two, did not feel sad or betrayed.

It was because Lee Jae-won was just Lee Jae-won, and Joo-gwang was just Joo-kwang.

Wasn’t it prepared with this worst situation in mind in the first place?

He let go of all his feelings for Joo-gwang and Lee Jae-won with tears, and all that was left was anger and vengeance.

“These fucking bastards? You guys are behind.”

Sunwoo leaned over and sent strength to his lower body.

Then, it came out in an instant and bounced back.

It was a skill that was possible because he had learned Pungjinbo, which was free to change direction in an instant.

Pop

“?!?!?”

“!?!?”

Jangsam’s sudden action shocked the commanders.

Enraged by anger, the leaders who forgot to point blood realized their mistake.

Seonwoo flew backwards, landed safely, and then applied force and broke the restraints.

Crisp

And by concentrating my strength, I tore off even the iron lines that were wrapped around my body.

Hooded

The leaders were horrified to see the iron rope fall to the floor.

What kind of iron line was that, wasn’t it a steel line with enough tension to restrain even a tiger called a hero in the mountains?

Even if he is a master at his peak, it was nonsense to solve it so easily.

“This guy, Jangsam! Can’t you come back right away!?”

“Don’t be a jerk, if you get caught, it’s obvious you’ll search, but you’ll get caught.”

“This is a serious rebellion against the Heavenly Armed Lord, do you understand?”

“Death this way, die that way, but if it’s the same, I’m going to die resisting to my heart’s content.”

“You devilish bastard! Everyone subdue Jangsam.”

After hearing what Georyong Ilchang said, the captains immediately began to surround Jangsam.

While noticing each other, a search battle began to aim for Jangsam’s gap.

Seonwoo looked at the weapons of the leaders once in a while.

Swordsman Yong Il-hoe, Beon Han-man, Do-soo Ha Im-soo, Chang-soo Georyong Ilchang

Among them, the one with the most threatening weapon was Georyongilchang.

Since it has a longer range than the sword, I thought it would be annoying to take a position and stab it from a long distance while others were engaged in close combat.

Seonwoo was the first to rush at Georyong Ilchang.

Seeing Seonwoo rushing at him, the Georyong Ilchang pierced Sunwoo’s abdomen with a huge spear straight into the air.

However, in the eyes of Seonwoo, who had reached his peak, it was just a blow that was so slow that it felt like time was passing slowly.

Seonwoo raised his sword, deflected the spear, and pierced the sword into Georyong Ilchang’s chest.

Puck

“Quaaaaa”

The spear of the giant dragon whose chest was hollowed out was intact, and he died.

“You don’t like it from the time you brush your mouth.”

The captains felt embarrassed at the appearance.

This is because the rest of the captains could not even react while the Georyong Ilchang was dying due to his heart sinking.
It was unbelievable with Jangsam’s martial arts skills, which were only at their peak.

“Jangsam! You’ve mastered magic.”

“You filthy demon servant!!!!!!”

The captains felt anger at the death of Georyong Ilchang and rushed at Seonwoo all at once.

Yongilhoe’s sword was piercing his neck, and Bunhanman’s sword was piercing his heart.

The sword of Heimsu, the master of the sword, was slicing through the abdomen.

Seonwoo took a slight step back and avoided their attack.

However, they continued to attack again and began to press Seonwoo.

Repeatedly stabbing and slashing, they came in aiming for vital points that could inflict near-fatal damage.

I’m not sure if it’s because they’re the leaders of the Cheonmu Maeng, but the connection with the stable passing technique came with considerable pressure.

Took

As Sunwoo stepped back, he felt a wall behind him.

It seemed as if they had reached the end of the joint.

The team leaders, who were pressuring Seon-woo with the passing technique, were delighted.

Yongilhoe stabbed his face, Bunhanman stabbed his heart, and Haimsu stabbed his stomach.

“Ino Ohm, it’s over!”

“Die, you devil!”

Visor

Bang

Hooked

However, as they wished, they could not see Seonwoo die.

Sunwoo ducked his neck to the side to avoid the Yongilhoe sword that stabbed him in the face.

Yongilhoe’s sword was embedded in the wall.

And the attack of Bun Han-man and Haim-soo had been repelled as the demon face armor reacted to the touch that pierced the body.

Yongilhoe, whose sword was stuck in the wall, struggled to pull out the sword, but the sword was not easily pulled out.

Seonwoo did not miss the opportunity and stabbed Yongilhoe in the neck.

Hooked

“Kreurreukreuk…”

Yongilhoe, whose throat had been pierced, began to make the sound of boiling blood.

Push

Soon after, Sunwoo drew his sword, and blood gushed out, and he collapsed.

“Now there are two left, right?”

Seon-woo, who had killed two masters in an instant, looked at Bun-Han-Man and Hai-Soo with a creepy smile.
