Reincarnation of the Fist King Chapter 66

<—–66—–>

< The King of Fist, Hear the Magic Sword >

In front of the lodging, Baekyak, drenched in rain, looked up at Danwoo Sung with his clothes on his head.

Raindrops streamed down Baekyak's cheeks, and his hair was wet. Few men wouldn't feel their hearts pounding at the sight of her beauty. The man and woman stared at each other blankly, then, as if to express their gratitude, embraced each other awkwardly.

To be precise, Baekyak dropped the clothes he was holding onto the floor before he picked them up first, which Danwoosung nonchalantly accepted. Inside the dorm, someone came down the stairs, the wooden surfaces creaking, and the two men fell, their expressions frantic.

Danwoo Seong spoke in a stiff tone.

“Miss Baek, thank you for your hard work. Come on in.”

Baekyak replied.

“Yes, by the way, you have a lot of enemies.”

The two talked as if they were reading a book. Baekran, who had come down the stairs, frowned and watched them.

'What's with this atmosphere? Huh…? Who are you trying to fool?'

Danwoo-seong nodded.

“I think so. Come on in.”

Danwoo Sung suddenly wished he could just kidnap Baekyak and take him somewhere. Then, it occurred to him that perhaps Baek Mujin's slap in his dream wasn't for nothing.

Baekyak said this somewhat out of the blue, as if he had expected something.

“Even if magic appears in the future, I won’t be a burden.”

Danwoo Sung replied with his eyes slightly shaking.

“Of course······.”

Baekran, who was coming out to greet them with an umbrella, approached the two people and waited quietly.

Danwoo Seong said.

“See you later.”

"yes."

Baekyak bowed his head slightly and then turned around. As Danwoosung moved away, Baekran spoke, scolding him like a grandmother.

“No, what am I supposed to do if I get drenched in the rain like this?”

Baekyak replied.

“What should I do? Just stop it.”

“What did you two do?”

“What did you do? I went for a walk.”

“No, it’s raining like this, why are you going for a walk… Why are your faces so red again? What were you two doing!”

“Be quiet.”

Danwoo Sung turned with a blank expression and headed towards the Milky Way. On the deserted road, he suddenly slapped himself in the face.

slam!

Danwoo Sung muttered this with a calm expression.

“You loser. Even if Baek Mu-jin hits you, it’s worth it.”

“We were attacked by the Gold and Silver Murder Squad.”

“What happened?”

“I killed them all.”

As Ha Jeon-ik swallowed hard, Dan Woo-seong continued speaking in a calm tone.

"Can you find out where the head of the household is? With the information of the Palryongmun Gate…"

“I’ll look into it. But······.”

Ha Jeon-ik thought for a moment at Dan Woo-seong's question before continuing.

"Even within the Gold and Silver Murder Society, they probably don't know the leader's true identity. Anyone who knew would kill themselves if caught. I've touched the Gold and Silver Murder Society a few times in Heukdo, but the results have always been the same. They're vicious."

This time, Danwoo-seong asked Cheolmyeong-ho.

“Hori, what should we do?”

Cheol Myeong-ho replied.

"what?"

“To catch the leader of the Gold and Silver Murder Society.”

Cheol Myeong-ho replied.

“How would I know? And why would you go through all that trouble to catch someone hiding like that? I just saw the Gold and Silver Murders, but I have to find them and kill them all. Kill the salaried workers, kill the higher-ups, kill the lower-ups… Kill them all.”

And if you keep killing, the leader will appear. If he doesn't appear, there's nothing you can do."

It was a typical answer from Cheol Myeong-ho.

Danwoo-seong nodded and spoke to Ha Jeon-ik.

"Then, let's make the Palryongmun the base, and I'll disguise myself as an ordinary Palryongmun disciple and join you. Even if you're not the leader, I'll find out the base first. I'll kill them all."

Ha Jeon-ik's pupils shook again this time.

"All right."

Danwoo Seong asked.

“Is the Palryongmun Gate afraid······.”

Ha Jeon-ik narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, that's not it. Anyway, the assassins aren't even worthy of being called black. We can just wipe them out now."

Danwoo-seong nodded and looked at Cheolmyeong-ho's desk. There were the elixirs Ha Jeon-ik had procured.

Danwoo Seong asked Cheolmyeongho.

“How many times now?”

Cheol Myeong-ho extended his right arm. The muscles in his arm had become rugged and rough, as if they had been finely torn apart.

Cheol Myeong-ho said.

“Seventy-six thousand two hundred and three.”

“If you take the elixir, you will become faster.”

Cheol Myeong-ho nodded.

“I guess so.”

Danwoo Seong said to Ha Jeonik.

“Munju, bring out more troops and spread them out around the upper area to set up a guard.”

"All right."

The Palryongmun had become like Danwooseong's personal bodyguard. While leaving Cheolmyeongho's underground training grounds, Danwooseong slapped himself in the face again.

Even though I had parted ways with Cheol Myeong-ho after sharing useless old stories, my heart was still in a state of excitement.

The Ssangbo brothers asked Danwoo Sung.

“Brother, did you get slapped?”

“No way.”

“The cheeks······.”

“It’s because I ran a bit harder today.”

“Oh, yes.”

“I see.”

Only then did Danwoo-seong eat breakfast with the Ssangbo brothers.

I don't know why, but it was a huge binge.

Since he was already undergoing rigorous training, it wouldn't have had much of an impact. Dan Woo-seong, who had eaten so much that even the Ssangbo brothers were shocked, was just about to begin his training when Gasol came to him and said this.

“Your Majesty, a messenger has arrived from the Murong clan.”

“Mo Yong-se?”

Dan Woo-seong's heart sank as soon as he heard the name. He knew that Murong Chu's disappearance was connected to him.

Danwoo Seong went to the reception room and met a messenger from the Murong family. As soon as the greetings were over, the young messenger, who looked to be around twenty, relayed the words of the Murong Bin family head.

“Our investigation team discovered traces of the former head of the Murong Chu clan at Wuxi in Hubei.”

"evidence?"

"yes."

Danwoo Seong listened to the story with his mouth shut.

"······It was a stroke of luck that we found it. Because the condition of the body······ No, there wasn't even a body left. Using the ring and other items worn by the previous head of the family, bloodstains, and weapons, we searched the area and found the place where the body should be. So······."

The messenger's eyes became dull.

I couldn't bring myself to say that there was a bloodstain in the shape of a human body.

But Danwoo Sung was also recalling his past. It was somewhat expected.

Danwoo-seong said, patting the messenger's arm.

“Messenger, please have a glass of water.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

The messenger gulped down some water and then continued speaking.

"So, the corpse had been absorbed by something and disappeared, leaving behind only torn clothing, skeletal remains, and bloodstains. I only heard the story, so I don't quite understand it."

“It must be magic.”

"Yes, the head of the household said he also seemed to have been struck by a demonic attack. This news was first relayed to the Imperial Council and the Martial Arts Alliance, and the head of the household asked me to relay it to the Prince of the Galaxy Shangdan, so I rushed here."

Danwoo Seong said.

“How did you decide to respond?”

“Soon, the Imperial Council will dispatch personnel from each family to the bloodless area.”

Danwooseong wanted to say it would be useless, but he was in no position to interfere in the affairs of the Imperial Council, so he remained silent. After all, the enemy's target was the top-ranked masters, not those below them.

The messenger said.

“The Murim Alliance will probably show similar movements.”

“Why is that?”

"We've lost all contact with the Sword King, who was on his way to join the Murim Alliance. The Murim Alliance, and we too, have declared ourselves in a state of emergency."

Danwoo-seong let out a long sigh.

“Okay.”

The messenger added, as if he had blinked.

“According to our elders, there are two types of magic that can cause such horrific damage to a corpse: Blood God Magic and Sun and Moon Magic.”

Danwoo Seong added an explanation.

“I heard there’s one more. It’s a magical art called the Magic Sword Extreme Intention.”

There were no forces that could be found knowing martial arts in the first place.

"Oh, is that so? In any case, I believe the descendants have appeared. Please bear with me. Confucius, I must now set out again. I have been ordered to continue contacting sects not affiliated with the Imperial Council and relay information. Since I have no way to contact them via carrier pigeon, I am on foot."

“Okay, I see.”

After the messenger left, Danwoo-seong was left alone in the reception room, resting his chin on his hand. Only then did his excitement over Baekyak finally subside.

The kings, including himself, were annihilated. The combined attack was so outstanding that it had to be so.

And judging by the situation so far, the emperors with powerful forces have not been touched. Murong Chu, the King of Fist, the King of Sword… they were all attacked while on the move or alone.

This means that they are still wary of the Three Gods and the Martial Arts Leader.

Suddenly, Danwoo Sung recalled the battle he'd lost that day and imagined Baekyak being deployed there. The fight had dragged on. So, he added the martial arts leader Yu Jeonghong and the Three Gods to the mix.

The conclusion was this.

They would not advance to the forefront, conserving their strength until they could decisively defeat the Three Gods. Given the timing and tactics, if the Sword King had been recently defeated, it was clear they would remain silent for some time.

Almost the entire Baekdo Island was being made fun of.

It's a situation where someone has to pull out the enemy······.

Right now, the only people who come to mind are the Emperor's disciple and the first person in the Black Way.

.

.

Danwoo Seong relayed the news that Mo Yong Se Ga had delivered to Baekyak and even revealed his own thoughts.

Baekyak said.

“So, does that mean that next time it will be Namgung Se or Heukdo Jeilin?”

"Just a guess. They seem to be looking for opponents step by step. They're targeting the elders of the old factions and even the heads of the Sega families. So far, they don't seem to want to fight the powerful, but I'm not sure what they'll do in the future."

“Could it be that the Gold and Silver Murder Society has reached them?”

"It's not impossible. If the chairman is that careful…"

“Then I’ll go with you when you attack the Palryongmun and the Gold and Silver Murder Society.”

Danwoo-seong nodded.

Going forward, he planned to continue aligning his martial arts skills with Baekyak. It was dangerous for Danwooseong or Baekyak to be alone, given the circumstances. If it became known that he was Baek Mujin's descendant, Baekyak would likely attract their attention as well.

Danwoo Seong said.

"For now, I think the only people who aren't on the enemy's list of assassination targets are probably Miss Baek and me. Whether it's the leader or the disciple… they're already targeting us."

It was a situation where the hidden blade had to create a variable.

Baekyak asked.

"We have quite a bit of information about the magical forces. My cousin, Ran, has it all memorized. There are probably forces in the Central Plains that are completely unknown, but our family has them recorded. If you come across any clues, please let me know. I'll answer to the best of my knowledge, or I'll ask Ran."

Since Baek Mu-jin was the man who killed the most demons, he had much more information than other families.

Danwoo Sung said what he had guessed.

“It seems like he is the one who uses the Sun and Moon Sword and Magic Sword.”

“So it’s not one force, but two forces?”

"exactly."

Baekyak responded as if he wasn't particularly surprised.

“They must be followers or descendants of the Sun, Moon, and Heavenly Demons and the Black Immortal Sword Demons. They are the two families with the worst relationship in the history of magic.”

"Their entire family was killed by the leader of the Yu Jeonghong clan long ago. Even their descendants. Their leaders were killed by the Samshin clan."

At Danwoosung's words, Baekyak told him about the traditional methods of magic.

"There are people in the Magical Domain called "Successors." They ensure the magic arts never go out of business, and if a particular family seems on the verge of collapse, they even take a descendant away to protect them. I've heard that even the cruel Magical Domain is polite to these Successors. They're their benefactors."

The contemporary power that Baekyak mentioned was none other than Manmagung.
