Chapter 214 – Hit in a Bad Place (1)

Heukho drew his sword and led his subordinates, moving quickly.

The one who gave them orders was like someone asking for something from their pocket, but everyone here was a master.

“Nam Gung-hye, and Eun So-young…”

Nam Gung-hye was to be kidnapped, and Eun So-young was to have her hands hurt enough to not die.

Nam Gung-hye was one thing, but touching Eun So-young, who was his mother, was unclear, but it was something that could be done if it was under his control, so he didn’t pay much attention to it.

“These, these guys!”

Everyone gathered here was unarmed. There was no way those attending the wedding ceremony would have swords at their waists.

Heukho moved his sword swiftly according to the will of his master and owner, Horyeong, cutting down the enemies.

There were those who were proficient in martial arts, those who unfolded swordsmanship or martial arts with their hands filled with strength, but they were no match for him.

“Ma, magic! Are they the evil ones of the magic sect?”

“I don’t know!”

Occasionally, those who mentioned the existence of the magic sect showed a delicacy in cutting them shallow enough not to die as a reward for catching the wind, and Heukho confirmed the movements of his subordinates.

Heukho, who confirmed that his subordinates were moving towards Nam Gung-hye, saw some people struggling in some places, but he didn’t care and moved forward.

“Oh, quite impressive…”

Like a beautiful bride’s mother, she had aged and her beauty had faded slightly, but she was still a beautiful middle-aged woman holding her fists and blocking his way.

“Mother, please step back! I will…”

“It is you who should step back! That person will face me, so it is your job as the groom to handle the situation!”

Eun So-young’s momentum, who stepped forward and spoke boldly, was more than Heukho had expected.

“Even though you’re a woman, you’re almost equal to me…?”

Eun So-young was, of course, a top-notch master, but her martial arts level, known to Kang-ho, was not so powerful.

Even at the peak level, there was a considerable pressure of internal strength close to the upper level.

While Heukho was admiring for a moment, Eun So-young’s hand struck like lightning.

When she swept away the space with her fist, Eun So-young ran like a fierce tiger, smashing the ground with her stepping foot.

“Even though you’re a woman, you’re still a master. I respect the achievements of the lady.”

“Who are you guys?”

Although the process of shouting out his power was giving off pressure that shook the surroundings like thunder and lightning, Heukho did not face it head-on and slowly flowed it away while moving up like a salmon.

Chapter 214 – Hit in a Bad Place (1)

Eun So-young realized that her opponent’s martial arts were more threatening than she had anticipated, but she knew that if she retreated now, the situation would only worsen.

“Ah, I apologize for coming uninvited. We have our own business to attend to.”

“And that business involves turning my home upside down? Does the name Nam Gung not seem formidable enough to you?”

“We have the power to turn it upside down, so don’t worry!”

As they got closer, Eun So-young began to feel increasingly anxious.

Even if someone was a master of martial arts, they would usually exert more strength the closer they got, but her opponent’s strange swordsmanship moved like a snake, and its power did not diminish even when they were close.

Struggling to keep up with the increasingly fast movements of the sword, Eun So-young suddenly realized the presence of the sword above her head and closed her eyes tightly.

Crack!

“Ugh!”

When Eun So-young opened her eyes again, Heukho was groaning in pain as if his arm was about to break.

“To take a hit like that and still not break your arm, impressive.”

“Who are you?”

“People who ruin other people’s celebrations and don’t like it.”

Heukho awkwardly spread his left hand and used his energy to keep the men behind him and Eun So-young at a distance.

The man who intervened in their confrontation was none other than Kang Yoon.

He didn’t know what was going on, but one thing was clear.

These guys use swordsmanship similar to the ones that Mong-ah and I killed on Seolsan.

“Did they hold a grudge against me?”

In a hurry, I ambushed the thugs and took their swords, giving them to those without weapons and protecting Eun So-young.

I wanted to go and hit the back of the head of the person fighting Eun So-young, but I couldn’t.

“Nam Gung-hye is in danger!”

While the three masters were attacking, the only one protecting Nam Gung-hye without a sword was Hwang Bo-jun.

Seeing that Eun So-young was holding her own, I rushed to protect Nam Gung-hye.

I kicked one person in the back of the head, knocking them out, and then used my energy to wrap around the sword attacking Eun So-young and cut off the thug’s arm with a lot of energy.

“Do you think you can disrupt our school’s event and get away with it?”

Unfortunately, the thug’s arm did not break.

“Do you not know that disrupting someone else’s wedding will make them angry?”

Although I managed to land a surprise attack, he wasn’t the kind of guy I could take on in a fair fight.

Still, I kept watching the situation, relieved to see that Nam Gung-hye’s situation was improving as soon as Nam Gung-hak got his hands on a sword through his peripheral vision.

“Moreover, what kind of gangster from the back alleys of someone else’s wedding is this, calling themselves the main school?”

“…You’ll come to your senses only after seeing the blade, won’t you!”

The sword came at me again. It was definitely a much more refined swordsmanship than the ones I fought on Gonryun Mountain.

Back then, I could avoid the head of the snake that was diving at me, but this guy was even dodging that and showing his fangs.

If I were alone, I would have run away long ago.

“This, this guy…!”

As I used the wind to sweep my lower body and move away, Heukho, who was struggling to approach me, quickly pushed away Eun So-young’s fist aimed at his back and distanced himself.

I focused on slowing down Heukho’s movements, and in the meantime, Eun So-young’s combination of attacks that could deliver a fatal blow was executed with determination.

“If you’re going to be stubborn, why don’t you bring your wife too?”

“My lord!”

As if the words had come true, some of the black-masked attackers showed signs of approaching us.

Each person seemed to be a master at least equivalent to the peak.

I blocked their approach with my energy, and in the meantime, the black-masked man called the lord focused his attack on Eun So-young again, but…

These guys were taking too much time.

They had either taken weapons from the attackers or brought weapons from outside.

Although Heukho had the upper hand against Eun So-young, he already had a hunch that this was not going to end well.

As Kang Yoon thought to himself, they were taking too much time.

‘Why is Eun So-young…!’

Although he followed the orders, if they had just quickly kidnapped Nam Gung-hye without touching Eun So-young, they could have easily achieved their goal.

The order given by Hwang Du-myeong, who was previously a senior member of the demon sect and now called ‘Nosah,’ was the problem.

The power of the masters was divided, giving the opponent a chance to withstand their attacks.

Of course, if Eun So-young was not a master stronger than what was known, and if that young man had not set up the situation, it would have been okay.

Looking around, he saw that the masters of Nam Gung-se were recovering their swords one by one, and Nam Gung-hak, who had checked his sister’s safety with the addition of masters, was running towards us again to save his mother.

“Now!”

Heukho launched a fierce attack at Eun So-young, then quickly withdrew after momentarily weakening her.

Swoosh!

The whistle with my energy made the subordinates react.

Watching the subordinates who had been dealing with the others turn around without hesitation, Heukho quickly rushed towards Nam Gung-hye, who was nearby.

Of course, Eun So-young and others tried to stop him, but there was a momentary gap in their power due to the subordinates blocking them.

“Hyemae!”

The groom, Hwang Bo-jun, hastily raised his sword and confronted Heukho, but with that level of skill, he couldn’t even catch his ankle.

Bang!

“Ah!”

Heukho, who hesitated for a moment about whether to leave the situation to his subordinates, felt his spine shudder at the eerie sound coming from behind him.

Realizing that his subordinates were falling like autumn leaves, he had to change his mind again.

“If you can’t dedicate yourself to me, kill her.”

Heukho, thinking of his master’s eerie voice, quickly thrust his sword towards Nam Gung-hye, with the blade extending out like vines.

Puff!

“Jegil…!”

Nam Gung-hye couldn’t block his sword. However, the sword that had to stab her neck, was stopped by Hwang Bo-jun, who flew in to protect her, but it pierced his waist.

In this situation where there was no time to swing the sword again, Heukho had to dodge the people chasing him from behind.

“Seora!”

Heukho had no intention of responding to such meaningless shouting. Following the escape route he had previously confirmed, he fled with all his might and suddenly hid in Nam Gung-se.

After the enemy leader disappeared, the chaotic wedding hall became quiet again.

However, with the voices of people crying out in pain or mourning for their lost loved ones, the wedding hall soon became a battlefield again.

As a fairly experienced martial artist, Nam Gung-hak couldn’t think of a way to handle this battlefield.

“Oh, uncle, Hwang Bo-ga… sob!”

Nam Gung-hak quickly ordered the three disciples nearby to gather all the martial artists of Nam Gung-se, and instructed them to call all the doctors in the nearby area.

Only then did he examine Hwang Bo-jun’s injuries in detail, and found that Nam Gung-hye, who was sobbing in a state of shock, had already taken care of her bleeding and was in a stable condition.

Although it was not an easy injury, Nam Gung-hak judged that her life was not in danger and comforted her by patting her head.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like her life is in danger. Maeja is not someone who will die so easily, so don’t worry too much.”

And for a moment, Nam Gung-hak muttered with a bitter expression.

“I’m sorry, I ruined the happiest day of your life because of my incompetence…!”

“Uncle…”

“Jun-ah!”

Watching the subordinates who had been dealing with the attackers turn around without hesitation, Heukho quickly rushed towards Nam Gung-hye, who was nearby.

Of course, Eun So-young and others tried to stop him, but due to the subordinates blocking them, there was a momentary gap in their full strength.

“Hyemae!”

The groom, Hwang Bo-jun, hastily drew his sword and confronted Heukho, but with that level of skill, he couldn’t even catch his ankle.

Kwang!

“Ah!”

Heukho hesitated for a moment about whether to leave the situation to chance, but he felt his spine shudder at the eerie sound coming from behind him.

Realizing that the subordinates were falling like leaves, he had to change his mind once again.

“If you can’t dedicate yourself to me, kill her.”

Thinking of his master, Horyeong’s eerie voice, Heukho quickly thrust his sword towards Nam Gung-hye, with the blade extending out like a vine.

Pook!

“Jegil…!”

Nam Gung-hye couldn’t block his sword. But the sword that had to stab her neck, flew and pierced the waist of Hwang Bo-jun, who was flying to protect her.

In this situation where there was no time to swing the sword again, Heukho had to dodge the pursuers from behind.

“Seora!”

Heukho had no intention of responding to such a meaningless shout. Following the escape route he had checked in advance, he fled with all his might and suddenly hid in Nam Gung-se.

As the figure that seemed to be the enemy leader disappeared, the chaotic wedding hall became quiet again.

However, with the voices of people crying out in pain or losing their loved ones, the wedding hall soon became a battlefield again.

As a fairly experienced head of the family, Nam Gung-hak couldn’t think of a way to handle this battlefield.

“Oh, Uncle, Hwang Bo-ga is… sobbing!”

In a hurry, Nam Gung-hak ordered the three disciples nearby to immediately gather all the masters of Nam Gung-se, while also instructing them to call all the doctors in the nearby clinic.

Only then did he examine Hwang Bo-jun’s injuries in detail, and found that Nam Gung-hye, despite sobbing, was already handling the situation well and had already stopped the bleeding.

Although it was not an easy injury, Nam Gung-hak judged that her life was not in danger and comforted her by patting her head.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like your life is in danger. Maeja is not someone who would die so easily, so don’t worry too much.”

And for a moment, as if biting his lips, Nam Gung-hak said,

“I’m sorry, I ruined the happiest day of your life because of my incompetence…!”

“Uncle…”

“Jun-ah!”
