Chapter 202 – Chapter 41 (2)

While spending such a sweet time together, Lim Ha-yeon began to be greedy for one thing.

‘It’s nice to be here… If possible, I want to leave proof that we loved each other.’

In the past, she had a desire to create a family with the person she loved, where they could trust and love each other.

At that time, she was worried about Jin-Chun’s pregnancy, so she lied, and in the aftermath, the topic of her pregnancy became taboo.

But now, enough time has passed.

Besides, she could feel relieved that he also wanted a child from Jin-cheon, who seemed to give up everything for herself, whether it be liver or gallbladder, for her lying about being pregnant at the time.

‘It’s a bit difficult in the current situation, but…’

Right now, Jincheon and his party are enjoying themselves, but they have a serious problem and the risk of becoming enemies of Moorim if they slip even one foot.

Aren’t there enemies aiming for them there?

That’s why Jincheon couldn’t understand why a smart woman like Lim Ha-yeon would make unreasonable demands in this situation.

‘When I’m with Jin-rang, I don’t think about age, but when she thinks of a child, the conversation gets serious. The power of martial arts is preventing aging, but… After more time than this, menopause might come.’

Yes.

Before her menopause came, she had a desire as a woman to have a crystallization of her love with Jincheon, as long as she had one.

Lim Ha-yeon, who was able to talk about it once as the atmosphere was ripe, opened her mouth to Jincheon.

“I… Jinrang.”
“Huh?”
“That… I…”

The moment she was about to say that she wanted to have children,

“Jincheon-nim. It’s a surprise attack.”

Black Jin-ye, who was enjoying the charm of holding hands with her brother, quietly approached and sounded a warning that her surprise attack was coming.

“Look at these bastards? Did you get this properly? Even considering that it’s under water, it’s hard even for me to feel it. Salsu, it’s clear that they’re the right ones.”

Hearing her Black Jinye’s warning, Jincheon focused on her surroundings.

Then, beneath the surface, she could feel a presence approaching quietly, so secretly that she could barely feel it with extreme concentration.

In general, masters can feel the presence of their surroundings, but it is impossible to feel like the ground below the surface of the water.

Since the influence of one membrane called water is so great, there were more cases than expected of masters who had to anticipate or endure great damage on the ground and died on the river or water.

“What should I do?”

The ‘how’ that Seo Yu-ran asked here was because she was concerned about other people who enjoy boating.

After all, it is a matter of harming others with their own problems.

“There is no need to break this pleasant atmosphere for nothing.”

Jincheon also wanted to enjoy this atmosphere more, so he decided to handle it quietly.

‘Why now… !’

Im Ha-yeon, who was about to say that she wanted to conceive a child after making the atmosphere more fertile with Jin-cheon, wanted to cry at the presence of attackers targeting them and approaching from under the water.

Why! Why should I say now!
All you need is a lot of time!
I was in a situation where I could tell Jincheon that I wanted a child!

The atmosphere goes from romantic to pre-battle in preparation for enemies, and it’s not all about missing an opportunity to say something about the child.

I was faced with this kind of attack, but it is because saying that I want to make a child is an act without thinking.

Im Ha-yeon, who was unable to say that she wanted to have a child because of the surprise attack of the killers who were trying to attack them, was devastated.

‘Dare… My happiness… !’

Whether he knew her feelings or not, Jincheon was planning an operation.

“I feel the enemy’s number is roughly 20-30. We plan to take advantage of the situation on the East Lake. They will probably try to kill them by drilling a hole in the boat and drawing them into the water.”

As expected, the killers plan to drag Jincheon and his party under the water of Dong Dong Lake and deal with them.

Their killings are very efficient.
Generally, there are not many Murim people who learn handicraft.

In places like rivers and lakes, they only briefly boarded a boat to pass by, and most of them fought on land, so who would want to learn handicrafts intensively?

However, this plan of the killers did not work for Jincheon’s party.

“Don’t pay for the boat by destroying it, let’s deal with it quietly below the surface.”

This is because they were learning the handicrafts of Haenampa, who were active in the sea.

In addition, when the weather is bad, it is not uncommon for a single ship to be submerged.

“We’re approaching near the ship. The distance is about 5 chapters (about 15m).”
“I go first.”

Jincheon, after being notified by Heukjinye, quietly got under the boat and went into the water.

The women of Jincheon all entered Dongdong Lake, and a bloody battle began under the surface of Dongdong Lake, unknown to those who enjoyed the art of boating.

*        *

For shooters, handicraft is an essential martial art that must be learned.

This is because the easiest situation to assassinate is when the target is on a boat to cross a river or lake.

Of course, the assassination target is not in such a place, but once the target is in a river or lake, it boasts an assassination rate that is higher than you can save.

‘I won’t kill you right away. I’ll make you pay the price for looking down on the door.’

Receiving the additional goal from Salmun’s master to make Jincheon’s party die in fear and pain, this elder went under the water with 30 of Salmun’s most elite watermen, aiming for a boat with a target.

Without adding a single exaggeration, with this amount of power, it is a force that can annihilate at least one sizable clan in one night.

After finding and examining the target, it turned out to be a group of young men and several women following him.

All of them have learned martial arts, and even in Sapa, the master of the counter gate with his own orthodoxy has such skills that even if he led the elite warriors, he was overpowered in an instant.

‘A thunderclap who wants to use it somehow because he has power.’

This is the judgment of the elder Lee, who felt after seeing Jincheon’s actions.

At first, I tried to investigate the background, thinking that the Northern Heavenly Palace might have introduced a secret weapon that they put their heart and soul into, but it was completely unrelated to the Northern Heavenly Palace.

The only information I found out was that it came from Guangdong, which is located further down Honam.

If I had more time I could have figured it out for sure, but you can always do that.

The important thing is to kill the target before it gets to the hard-to-kill area.

‘It would have been difficult if it was on the ground, but it’s a different story if it’s in the water.’

While swimming under the surface of the water to assassinate Jincheon and his party under the water surface of Dong Dongho,

Plop- Plop- Plop-

‘Hmm?’

There was the sound of something falling into the water, and vibrations were felt on the surface of the water.

And he could see a group of men and women swimming right in front of them, aiming for them.

It was the target they were aiming for, the Jincheon group.

‘These crazy bastards!’

Falling into the water and approaching them means that they sensed their presence.

But, instead of trying to escape by piloting the ship, would you rather deal with them in underwater battles?

‘How arrogant is that!’

Elder Lee had gone through countless secret trips, but it was the first time he had seen crazy bastards like Jincheon and his party.

How funny to look at this side to think that he would jump into the water and deal with the assailants.

At that time, Jincheon, who was swimming toward the watermen, took something out of her bosom.

‘That one? Guns… Is it?’

As the existence of matchlocks became known in the past, Salmun also studied assassination using matchlocks.

Its power is quite high, and it was noted for its convenience that even an untrained ordinary person could defeat any unmanned soldier.

However, the accuracy problem was also a problem, and the sound and smoke were so loud that it was not suitable for assassination, so it was evaluated as unsuitable for assassination.

‘Really, what happened to your hair? To shoot a gun in the water?’

It is surprising that the Murim people took out their guns, but it is just absurd to try to shoot a gun in this water.

However, it did not take long for this elder to change his judgment.

Jincheon’s pistols maintained the shape of the pistol, but they were all remodeled into metal from the inside to the inside.

And there was a strange pattern engraved on the handle, and this pattern was directed to the place where the internal energy was gathered in the pistol.

Tsutsutsu–

As Jincheon pushed his inner energy into the handle, the pattern began to glow blue.

Tookung! Tookung!

Bullets were fired from the tip of the pistol, and they flew like modern bullets toward the shooters.

‘Danger!’

Elder Lee quickly swam to the side and evaded, and the other shooters evaded with the same thought, but since they were located in the rear, they saw it late and the two shooters, who slowed down, pierced a large hole in the head and died instantly.

It is because Jincheon, who learned the magic imprint through his black painting, introduced the technique to his pistol.

With the power of the imprint, Jincheon’s pistol was able to create bullets in a faster and more efficient way.

In addition, by engraving the inside of the barrel, it succeeded in significantly strengthening the shooting power and stability, and in a way, a more powerful gun than a modern gun was able to be completed.

As the hobby has developed, it has reached a dangerous level.

Tookung! Tookung! Tookung! Tookung!

As Jincheon swam towards the killers, he opened fire with two pistols reinforced with stamps.

Puck! Perpuck!

The shooters desperately evaded Jincheon’s attack, but due to Jincheon’s fierce shooting, the number of shooters whose heads or body parts were pierced increased due to being cornered or predicted in the direction of evasion, although they somehow avoided it in the beginning.

The problem was that as the shooters approached, even Jincheon had no choice but to put his pistol back into his chest.

All of the killers attacked Jincheon’s party with small, fast-wielding weapons like Bido.

It was unfortunate that several of his men died, but the Elder Lee, thinking that it would have been even worse had he dealt with such an opponent on the ground, brandished his dagger at the swimming woman as if running towards him with an angry expression.

‘It won’t be easy to move freely in this water!’

On the other hand, this side attacks as fast and nimble as the ground with the power of water, and can change direction while swimming freely in the water.

But,

Chow–!

‘Hmm!?’

The elder felt perplexed for her fleeting time at her sudden movement to her side and the sight of her dodging her own attack.

‘Have you learned the craft?’

The appearance of her a moment ago was the movement and speed that could only be achieved by mastering the handicraft.

In addition, the other women did not feel the slightest disadvantage of being in the water as they evaded the attacks of the killers or counterattacked with weapons.

‘Did everyone learn the handicraft?’

Only then did Elder Lee understand why Jincheon and his party entered the water and waged an all-out war against them.

‘We must retreat!’

Salsu’s defeat is confirmed from the moment he engages in a head-to-head confrontation.
Therefore, I tried to send a signal to retreat and reorganize.

Conduction is a kind of tonality that uses sound as a medium.
It is to say what you want to say with your mouth and secretly convey the sound to the other person.

Therefore, since it is almost impossible to transmit and receive electrical sounds in the water, most of the signals had to rely on hand signals.

Kururrureuk–!
Phew!

‘Oops!?’

In an instant, a whirlwind raged and struck the face of the elder, who was about to signal a retreat.

The woman who attacked the elder, Lim Ha-yeon, quickly stirred her hand to create a whirlpool in the water.

As the Dokmun martial arts of Haenampa, which are active in the vast sea, they have been living with the sea for hundreds of years, so they have been steadily developing and developing handicrafts made to survive in the sea.

If you look at even one handicraft, it is the handicraft of the Haenampa that even the world’s Dokgo family cannot recklessly name.

If Jincheon had fought with Haenampa on the sea, it would have been Jincheon with a 10% chance of becoming fish food.

For the Jincheon group, who had been active in the vast sea of ​​Guangdong for a year while learning the handicraft of Haenampa,

‘The Dongting Lake, where there is no dragon wind and the current is calm, is no different from being on the ground!’

Chow!

Deprived of the opportunity to tell Jin-Cheon that she wants to have a child with her, Im Ha-Yeon slit the elder Lee’s wrist with the tip of her finger glove that Jin-Cheon had given her.

‘Did you avoid it?’

Originally, Im Ha-yeon, who had originally intended to attack the elder Lee as if cutting off his wrist, turned round.

‘Strong!’

Elder Lee felt that her hand would have been lost in the attack if it had not been for the sense that had been honed by his long watering life.

Lim Ha-yeon attacked Elder Lee by waving her hand sharply, and Elder Lee also counterattacked at intervals, blocking her attack with a dagger.

However, the other killers couldn’t fight like this Jangdo.

In the first place, the assassin’s martial arts is all about stealthily moving, stabbing and slashing so that the assassination target does not know.

What can be called a ‘fight’ is that if the first attack misses, it is the end of several additional attacks.

Therefore, Elder Lee tried to order a retreat, but he missed the opportunity due to Im Ha-yeon’s attack.

To show that Salmun’s sprinklers are not called the best for nothing, several people attacked in various directions using the characteristic of being underwater,

Chuck! Chow!

One by one, they became corpses and began to float on the surface of the water at the attack of Jincheon and his party, who moved through the water like the ground with the power of the water ball.

‘If this happens, everyone will die!’

Elder Lee sent a hand signal, thinking that he could not lose the support of Salmun and the elite assassins who had succeeded in killing without mistakes for at least ten years.

Chow!

‘Keep it off!’

Puffy!

Of course, Lim Ha-yeon, who was aiming for that gap, tore the elder Lee’s upper body apart with her fingertips, creating huge scars.

Still, the elder Lee, who witnessed the killers fleeing at the cost of wounds, had hope that he could at least inform Jincheon’s party of information.

He decided that he could not run away from Im Ha-yeon anyway.

Thanks to his sacrifice, the killers who received the signal to retreat started swimming with all their might to run away in the direction of the surface.

However, Jincheon and his party followed after him, swimming like a shotgun.

It was a phenomenon that was created because the Salsu took longer to learn the handicraft, but the Jincheon party learned the high-quality handicraft of Haenampa and the depth of the inner workings was different.

‘You dare to attack the master!’

Among them, the fastest was the Thousand Killer Black Jinye.

Perhaps because of her desire to learn martial arts to kill people, she was always the one who learned the fastest when everyone learned together.

‘Die!’

Heuk Jin-ye, who grabbed the ankle of the killer, turned her body and broke the wrist of the killer who was trying to quickly cut the snow with a dagger.

Awesome! Crunchy!
Puffy!

At the same time, when I applied strong force to the hand holding his ankle, the sprayer’s ankle broke and foam poured out of the sprayer’s mouth.

Heuk Jin-ye, who broke the wrist and ankle of one of the killers, chased after the killers who were trying to escape, kicking off the head of the killer he was holding onto.

The retreating killers began to retreat as they were divided into four directions, but Jincheon’s women, who were not as good as Heukjinye, but were able to swim quickly with the power of deep internal energy, dispersed equally to catch the killers.

Tookung! Tookung!

There was also Jincheon, who was chasing after the killers with a pistol.

In the end, the elder Lee, who felt that all the killers had no choice but to be annihilated, threw himself into the tactic of Dongguijin, promising to take even Im Ha-yeon, who was in front of him, with him.

‘Even for four years!’

It was this elder who disregarded her defense and brandished a dagger in a way to die together,

‘I’m tired of the murderers’ friendship!’

As a Demonic Cultist and as a guardian, she had a lot of experience dealing with the assassins who tried to assassinate her cult leader. She moved naturally like her fish and stabbed the elder Lee in the chest.

“Pugureureuk!”

Even as Lee coughed up blood, he continued to attack Im Ha-yeon.

It was the grievance of Salsu, but it was too bad for Lim Ha-yeon, who had a lot of experience dealing with Salsu.

Cyankaak!

Eventually, as Im Ha-yeon’s hand pierced the elder Lee’s stomach, the elder Lee lost his strength and drooped.

When I squeezed out the last strength and looked back, I could see the Jincheon party killing the best killers carefully raised by Salmun one by one as if playing a game.

‘For a moment… This statute… That face… !’

While feeling her death, Elder Lee, who checked Lim Ha-yeon’s Jo-beop and her face, was able to identify her identity.

The skin color and eye color are different, but that crimson hair and vicious Jo-beop are definitely Im Ha-yeon, a fan of the Demonic Cult.

‘This request… I shouldn’t have gotten it in the first place…’

Are you Im Ha-yeon, the demonic cult?

Had she been informed that she was, she would not have taken her request in the first place.

‘Somehow… I need to let you know… To do…’

However, his realization came too late.

Chwack chump chump chump!

This is because Lim Ha-yeon, who was filled with irritation and anger due to the attack that came in the worst situation, hacked the elder Lee’s body and killed it for sure.

In this way, the best killers sent by Salmun became fish food for Dong Dongho.
