Raccoon Hunt
As Mu-jin approached Wi Ji-hak, Wi Ji-hak’s guards naturally intended to attack him.
However...
“!?”
Golden orbs that suddenly began floating around them hindered their movements.
“Why don’t you leave them alone and keep me company?”
Mu-gyeong, who created the orbs, spoke in a flat tone and calmly walked toward them.
The three guards quickly exchanged glances and made a decision. They decided to deal with Mu-gyeong first and then finish off the Shaolin Dragon with their leader. They were confident that their leader would not fall to the Shaolin Dragon while they handled the young monk.
Of course, they knew that the young monk was one of the renowned late-stage disciples of Shaolin.
However, they didn’t take such reputations seriously. All three had endured harsh training in Shinchun, becoming experts who had survived in the martial world for decades, holding mid-level positions in the Martial Alliance.
The man originally serving as the leader of the Flying Dragon Pavilion in the Martial Alliance swatted away the floating golden orbs and charged at Mu-gyeong. As the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader moved first, the Hidden Shadow Pavilion leader and the Ice Change Pavilion leader spread out to the left and right.
They planned to attack from blind spots after the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader drew Mu-gyeong’s attention.
Swoosh!
However, for some reason, the golden orbs floating around them continued to follow the Hidden Shadow Pavilion leader and the Ice Change Pavilion leader.
‘What is this!?’
The two of them wore expressions of bewilderment.
Mu-gyeong was clearly looking at the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader charging at him.
Yet, how could he control the golden orbs so precisely without even looking at them?
* * *
‘Compared to the Head of Salmak, this is nothing.’
Mu-gyeong, while looking at the man charging at him, expanded his senses to grasp the entire situation around him.
Even amidst the tremendous energy clash between Mu-jin and the leader nearby, he did not miss the movements of the two men spreading out to his left and right. Ŕ₳????ΟbЁŜ
Controlling the golden orbs to chase the two spreading men, he...
Boom!
Mu-gyeong exchanged blows with the man who had suddenly approached right in front of him.
After receiving the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader’s strike with the Vajra Exorcising Devil Fist, Mu-gyeong used the rebound force to leap backward and aimed a kick at the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader’s legs using the Anti-Demon Serial Kick Technique.
Flash!
The Flying Dragon Pavilion leader jumped into the air to avoid the kick.
‘There’s no need to drag this out.’
Facing three opponents and the possibility of Mu-jin struggling against the leader, Mu-gyeong decided not to hold back.
Mu-gyeong’s left hand reached out towards the man who had jumped into the air.
The Flying Dragon Pavilion leader swung his sword to block the strike.
Clang!
Slash!
“!?”
The sword he swung was effortlessly cut in two.
Only then did the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader realize what had cut his sword so easily.
A small sword that had somehow appeared in Mu-gyeong’s left hand had pierced his side.
No, saying it had pierced was an understatement.
“Ugh...”
The small sword, which still had energy left after cutting the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader’s sword, had also slashed his abdomen.
Regardless of the blood and intestines spilling out of his abdomen as he fell from the sky, Mu-gyeong unemotionally observed the small sword that had slashed the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader’s stomach.
“As Mu-jin said, it’s an extraordinary sword.”
The small sword was the Dragon Slayer Sword used by the Head of Salmak.
However, Mu-gyeong didn’t know its true name or history, so he simply called it ‘Shura Sword.’
It was the weapon he chose to accompany him on the path he had resolved to walk.
Mu-gyeong, with an indifferent expression, remained calm despite the scent of blood emanating from the man he had cut down.
To suppress the murderous desire surging within him as he began killing, he tried to maintain his composure.
“Then, there are two left.”
Even after killing someone, his expression remained blank as he turned his gaze towards the next prey, looking like a seasoned murderer to anyone who saw him.
* * *
Seeing the Flying Dragon Pavilion leader die helplessly, the Hidden Shadow Pavilion leader and the Ice Change Pavilion leader’s eyes filled with shock once again.
They hadn’t even escaped the range of the golden orbs yet, and one of them was already dead.
Mu-yul suddenly made a strange comment.
“Mu-yul, what are you talking about?”
“Ling-ling says they smell like these guys! And when I checked, they do have a similar smell!”
“...”
Hye-geol looked at his disciple in disbelief.
Of course, he knew Ling-ling’s sense of smell was extraordinary.
But that wasn’t why he was surprised.
‘They’re always together, yet Ling-ling doesn’t become human, and Mu-yul becomes more like a monkey.’
But his shock was brief.
“Let’s go that way!”
Since there was nothing to lose, he trusted Ling-ling’s nose.
And surprisingly, as they followed Ling-ling and Mu-yul’s lead into an uninhabited manor...
“!?”
In a corner of the manor, they found four men changing out of Wudang and Shaolin robes into black outfits.
Whistle!
As soon as he saw them, Hye-geol blew a whistle to call his scattered allies.
He did this because one of the four had an aura that matched his own.
– Mu-yul.
– Yes, Master!
– We’ll handle this here. You and Ling-ling track down more of them.
To not miss a single enemy, Hye-geol needed Mu-yul and Ling-ling’s tracking abilities.
– Let’s finish them quickly and move on.
– Understood!
While Hye-geol gave instructions to Mu-yul, the Shinch
un warriors, who were changing clothes, charged.
“How dare you!!”
Hye-geol swiftly blocked the strongest among them.
Boom!
At the same time, his squad members began clashing with the Shinchun warriors.
In the intense atmosphere where anyone could die at any moment...
“I’ll be back!!”
Mu-yul cheerfully shouted, as if heading to a friend’s house, and left.
Of course, his cheerful tone didn’t mean he was playing around.
Mu-yul and Ling-ling followed the scent as they moved.
They ran along main streets, sometimes leaping onto rooftops to follow winding trails.
When they found their targets, Mu-yul shouted with his inner power.
“There are bad guys here!!!”
His loud shout was enough for the scattered Shaolin and Wudang martial artists to hear.
Of course, it also alerted the Shinchun warriors hiding there.
“Gasp!”
“U-kii!”
Mu-yul and Ling-ling dodged their attacks with movements reminiscent of animals, using Snake Fist and Crane Fist techniques.
“Swords are dangerous!”
“U-kii!”
They didn’t just dodge. Mu-yul, with the flexibility of a snake, avoided a blade and struck the enemy’s side with a punch.
“Ugh...”
As Mu-yul and Ling-ling pushed back their opponents...
“There!”
“Help Mu-yul!”
Shaolin and Wudang warriors converged from all directions.
“These two are bad people!”
Leaving the finishing to the reinforcements, Mu-yul sniffed the air and ran to find more bad guys.
