Chapter 195. Black Heart (2)
A few days after leaving Lu’an and moving. We arrived near a place called Sahong.
Sahong was a village embracing a large lake called Hongze Lake, and Hongze Lake was also a lake connected to the sea.
A strange atmosphere was lingering in that Sahong.
Should I say two contrasting atmospheres were mixed together?
Those who looked excited and high. And those who looked depressed and powerless.
The two atmospheres were mixed together.
“Let’s look around a little to find where the Black Heart Ghost Claw is for now.”
Black Heart Ghost Claw.
That guy was the Tang Clan bastard’s enemy.
Dang Sopyeong’s maternal grandfather and grandmother treated that guy, who was seriously injured, by feeding him special medicine.
However, the guy repaid kindness with enmity.
He came looking for them demanding to hand over that spiritual medicine and confined them, and the old couple barely let only their daughter escape and committed suicide.
For the reason that it is better to die than to make spiritual medicine for a villain.
The daughter who escaped like that was exactly Dang Sopyeong’s mother.
Even after that, they chased Dang Sopyeong’s mother, and Dang Sopyeong’s mother had entrusted herself to the Sichuan Sword Clan for survival.
That both maternal grandparents died, that Dang Sopyeong’s mother entered the Sichuan Sword Clan, and that Dang Sopyeong suffered from discrimination and abuse there, in the end, all stemmed from that Black Heart Ghost Claw’s evil deeds.
Perhaps feeling that the time for revenge had truly approached.
The Tang Clan bastard was making a stiff face unlike his usual self.
“Are you scared?”
At my question, the Tang Clan bastard snorted.
“Hmph. I am doing this because I am looking forward to it rather than being scared.”
Only then did the expression become a little comfortable. However, he still felt slightly stiff somewhere.
There was no need to force him to relax tension.
Because a moderate level of tension tended to increase concentration rather.
A while after going around the village to find out about the Black Heart Ghost Claw. We could obtain a few pieces of information.
“I, I know nothing!”
There were those who ran away having a convulsion just hearing the word Black Heart Ghost Claw.
“Why are you looking for that person?”
There was also a guy referring to him as ‘that person’.
Well, naturally we suppressed such guys and threw this and that question.
When they didn’t answer properly, we also gave them a little pain.
And very occasionally, there were those who couldn't overcome their anger and listed curses about the guy.
“He is a complete trash bastard!!”
Did they say the guy took away the residents’ money indiscriminately after settling here in earnest?
“With the money ripped off like that, the guy seized all the brothels and taverns here! Because he scraped up courtesans indiscriminately, rich idlers or playboys from nearby are visiting day after day.”
So it seemed the atmosphere here was largely divided into two.
Those who lived here originally were depressed, and the guys related to the red-light district side were in a high atmosphere.
“Even in that brothel, they say there are several girls who aren’t even fifteen yet. I hear they are all kidnapped from somewhere or sold ones.”
At the man’s words, my forehead crumpled automatically.
The colleagues’ reactions were also naturally not good.
“Ba, bad guys.”
“Haa. To think he was doing this kind of shit after eating the spiritual medicine my maternal grandparents made.”
“…….”
Among them, the one whose expression was the worst was Junior Sister Baek Hyang.
“Since the Black Heart Ghost Claw is Young Master Tang’s target, it can’t be helped, but it seems we have to deal with all his subordinates without leaving anyone. Senior Brother.”
Junior Sister Baek Hyang’s expression saying so was very stern.
I felt like I knew why.
If Nam Geon and I hadn’t visited Junior Sister Baek Hyang that day, Junior Sister would have also suffered the same fate.
And Junior Sister Baek Hyang, who was sold to the red-light district, was scheduled to grow into a terrifying disaster called Lust Disaster later.
It was truly fortunate that she was becoming a Chivalrous Hero benefiting the world by cleaning up trash inversely now.
Since we roughly grasped the shit the guys had been doing, we moved our steps just like that.
“Let’s go right away.”
It was different from the Danmok Clan time. There was no need to look for a justification particularly.
Because they were trash committing acts of the underworld openly.
***
Jin Yuseong and the colleagues headed to the manor where the Black Heart Ghost Claw stayed.
Arriving near there, they divided into three and headed to the front, right, and left respectively.
Front was Jin Yuseong and Dang Sopyeong. Right was Baek Hyang. Left was Nam Geon and Choyeon.
Towards Jin Yuseong approaching from the front, the gatekeepers asked.
“Who are you and where did you come from?”
Instead of answering that question, Jin Yuseong swung the Master’s Blade in the air.
The gatekeepers could not even see the process of Jin Yuseong pulling out the Master’s Blade.
An unknown incongruity lingered riding on their bodies.
“Huh?”
Soon, their bodies with heads cut off collapsed just like that.
Jin Yuseong, who moved his steps just like that, cut off the manor’s gate as well.
Slash!
THUD!
Beyond the collapsed gate, Jin Yuseong and Dang Sopyeong entered confidently.
“Who are you bastards!!”
“How dare you, do you know where this is!!”
As expected, stereotypical shouts are heard.
Jin Yuseong swung the Master’s Blade repeatedly without asking or arguing.
Slash!
Every time that happened, blood splattered.
Dang Sopyeong was moving his steps comfortably behind him.
It was something promised even before attacking.
- Since you have to see a conclusion with the Black Heart Ghost Claw, save your internal energy as much as possible.
He was just grateful for the colleagues helping his revenge so actively.
Soon, a noise of something exploding was heard from the right.
BOOM!!!
It was Nam Geon who smashed the wall altogether instead of climbing over it secretly.
“Bad guys! I, will scold you!”
It was a sight Gung Seola would list this and that praise if she saw.
Nam Geon, who entered confidently, attacked the underworld bastards swinging the Mother’s Affection Sword similarly.
Beside him, Junior Sister Choyeon was filling Nam Geon’s gaps.
On the other hand, from the left, noises of walls breaking or particularly chaotic noises were not heard.
Slash.
Slash.
Just monotonous and clean cutting sounds rang out repeatedly.
Like Choyeon, Baek Hyang was cutting down the underworld bastards with a cold face.
This cold face was the reason she was called Two-Faced Rakshasa instead of Sword Phoenix among the underworld.
Amidst the screams of underworld bastards running rampant from all directions. Dang Sopyeong shouted.
“Where is the Black Heart Ghost Claw!!!”
The inside of the manor became chaotic, and dozens of people revealed themselves additionally from the inside.
Among them, a man in the age range passing from middle age to old age stepped forward and shouted.
“Where did such dog mongrels come from daring to look for this body!!”
At this, Dang Sopyeong, who was behind Jin Yuseong, also stepped forward and shouted.
“Black Heart Ghost Claw!! Do you remember the names Dang Ogyeol and Jo Miryeong!!”
They were the names of his maternal grandfather and grandmother.
At his question, the Black Heart Ghost Claw frowned.
“Who are you to mention those names to me?”
“Seeing you ask that, you must remember. I will ask you. They are benefactors who treated you who were in danger of dying. However, why did you repay their kindness with enmity?”
The Black Heart Ghost Claw made a hollow laugh.
An expression asking why he was asking the obvious. Rather, irritation was even smeared in his tone.
“The world is originally about survival of the fittest. There is no talk more idiotic than that.”
At that answer, Dang Sopyeong sighed deeply.
“Haa. There was no need to even ask.”
Because it was an answer too obvious, it was rather disappointing.
Dang Sopyeong was angry.
It wasn’t just because that guy killed his maternal grandparents.
What made him angrier was the things that guy did here.
The guy who gained power with the spiritual medicine his maternal grandparents made was committing evil deeds again taking that power.
The two who treated patients regardless of good and evil were true physicians.
However, watching that guy, the thought that he trampled on even the pride of physicians of the two occurred.
‘The Jin Clan bastard’s words were right.’
He had thought that saving patients comes first for a physician. He learned so from his mother too.
But looking at that guy, such thoughts occurred.
Even if one is a physician, it seemed one should distinguish good and evil and treat people.
If the guy the physician saved went out and harmed people, that was eventually no different from the physician harming them.
“I will punish you on behalf of the names of the two you dirtied!”
At Dang Sopyeong’s shout, Jin Yuseong nodded his head and said.
“I will open the path. Try killing just that guy on your own well.”
Jin Yuseong, who finished speaking as if there was no need to hear the answer, stepped forward.
Whoosh!
Jin Yuseong threw his body in an instant. Centering on his body, silver trajectories are embroidered in the air repeatedly.
Countless cutting sounds ring out.
Slash! Slash!
Riding on the silver trajectories, blood soars ceaselessly and falls onto the cut bodies of people.
Thud.
Literally, a path of blood unfolded before his eyes.
To Jin Yuseong who crossed the wall and reached the Heavenly Ladder Realm, these kinds of underworld bastards could not be a match.
Dang Sopyeong chased Jin Yuseong’s back without delay.
At the appearance of Jin Yuseong approaching while slaughtering subordinates in an instant, the Black Heart Ghost Claw’s eyes widened.
‘Wh, where did such a monster come from!?’
Because he was the Black Heart Ghost Claw whose reputation was quite widespread in the underworld, he could know at once. That he was a master several levels above himself.
Slash!
Dozens of subordinates were sliced away in an instant.
As the guys in front died and fell repeatedly, the faces of those behind turned pale.
“Hi, hiiik!?”
Instead of blocking Jin Yuseong, they threw their bodies to the side willingly.
“Ru, run away!”
Thanks to that, the path heading to the Black Heart Ghost Claw opened very widely.
Jin Yuseong is approaching at tremendous speed. Startled, the Black Heart Ghost Claw swung both hands hurriedly.
Energy lingers riding on the claws worn on his both hands.
Eight strands of claw qi flew in toward Jin Yuseong riding on the two iron claws that cut the air.
Jin Yuseong swung the Master’s Blade and neutralized them simply, thinking.
‘He is one or two levels below the Danmok Clan Head or the Nine Dragons Fortress Leader.’
Jin Yuseong, who roughly grasped the Black Heart Ghost Claw’s level, took a step again.
Whoosh!
As Jin Yuseong approached right in front of his nose in an instant, the Black Heart Ghost Claw tried to block Jin Yuseong’s attack crossing two claws hurriedly.
But it was a meaningless action.
Whoosh!
Jin Yuseong right in front twisted the path surprisingly.
Towards the underworld bastards who ran away.
“Hiiik!?”
Toward the startled underworld bastards, Jin Yuseong’s sword flies in.
Slash!
While cutting sounds rang out. A few hidden weapons flew in toward the Black Heart Ghost Claw secretly.
The Black Heart Ghost Claw swung the two crossed claws hurriedly and struck those hidden weapons narrowly.
“You are my share!!”
Dang Sopyeong, who shouted so, threw hidden weapons additionally.
Swallowing a sigh of relief inwardly, he struck those hidden weapons a few times.
The Black Heart Ghost Claw’s qi and blood boiled, and a stinging sensation was felt riding on his nose and throat.
It was Dang Sopyeong who poisoned the air by flowing poison art energy secretly amidst throwing hidden weapons.
“Kugh. To use poison is cowardly.”
Dang Sopyeong let out a sneer.
“Someone said. Is there a need to distinguish cowardly or whatever in killing trash bastards.”
Even while saying so, Dang Sopyeong was throwing hidden weapons repeatedly and sprinkling poison through the fan.
The Black Heart Ghost Claw pulled up the energy in his qi center additionally and resisted that poison energy.
He was a man famous in the underworld, but his internal energy was on the side of quite profound.
Precisely thanks to the spiritual medicine Dang Ogyeol and Jo Miryeong made.
Thanks to that spiritual medicine, he could break through the wall of the Peak Realm over twenty years ago.
At the same time as driving out the poison qi through that profound energy, the Black Heart Ghost Claw scanned the surroundings.
Cutting sounds and screams were running rampant from all directions.
Leaving aside that monster-like guy from earlier, the large man on the right and the secretly moving woman. The woman exuding a cold atmosphere on the left.
Every one of them was a formidable guy.
At some point, almost all subordinates lost their lives and were sprawling on the floor.
And the enemies were taking positions widening the distance as if forming an encirclement.
A path to escape was not visible.
No. Exactly one was visible.
“Hehehe.”
The guy throwing hidden weapons repeatedly and sprinkling poison from the front.
‘If I take that guy as a hostage, I can escape!’
The Black Heart Ghost Claw, whose thought reached there, threw his body toward Dang Sopyeong willingly.
“I will kill you!!”
