Chapter 50. I Did As You Wished (2)
Kaboooom!
Han Cheong-un’s single strike fell with a tremendous roar enough to believe a rock fell from the sky.
The state of Cha Museong who received that attack was…….
“Ugh…….”
“Uuk…….”
No need to check.
Since there is no human who can be alive after becoming like that.
Han Cheong-un glanced at Cha Museong and said.
“You said you would crush me into pulp, right?”
To Cha Museong who couldn't even answer anymore, Han Cheong-un cast a cold gaze and said.
“I did as you wished.”
And Han Cheong-un turning his back.
Despite winning overwhelmingly against the opponent who gave him despair and fear in the past, there was no inspiration on his face.
Because the world Han Cheong-un experienced is too big to be satisfied with just this much.
And Han Cheong-un stamped the ground strongly with the spear and shouted.
“Who will come out next and deal with my spear?!”
Same words as before.
But the weight is different.
When he said those words before, Han Cheong-un was a puppy who proved nothing.
Could it work for such a human to bark? But now…….
“Khm…….”
“Mmm…….”
The reaction of the crowd around itself is different.
Like prey holding breath hearing the roar of a tiger making mountains and rivers tremble, no one dared to meet Han Cheong-un’s eyes. However…….
Grind.
“Dare…….”
There were those who didn't retreat here…….
No, those who couldn't retreat.
One of the disciples of the Limitless Gate stepped forward and shouted.
“Do you think you can survive even after daring to harm the Elder of the Limitless Gate?”
“I won legitimately in a one-on-one duel. So what about it?”
“Shut up!”
When he raised his hand and signaled, the disciples of the Limitless Gate scattered radially all at once and surrounded Han Cheong-un.
“I will admit that a young guy has amazing martial arts skills.”
“That is very thankful.”
“But Jianghu is not an easy place where one can survive just because martial arts are strong.”
Seeing the opponent proclaiming confidently, Han Cheong-un smirked and said.
“You say you will gang up in a very strangely roundabout way. Don't you?”
Then Dang Jin, who approached the side before anyone knew, drew his weapon from his sleeve and said.
“It’s face-saving for Unorthodox bastards.”
“Unorthodox? Face?”
“Ideally, they are one of the Eight Gates of the Evil Way, aren't they?”
“Ah, is that so?”
Hearing the conversation of the two, the disciple of the Limitless Gate whose face turned red didn't answer.
Anyway, there is no justification to gain by replying here. What must be taken now is thorough practical benefit.
‘Since the Elder passed away, if I don't take that bastard's neck, I will be killed by the Sect Leader.’
Having made up his mind like that, he gave an order to the subordinates.
“Do not keep him alive. Tear everyone to de…….”
Thwack!
It was then.
Before the order even ended, one of the Limitless Gate disciples died without even screaming the last death cry. The cause was…….
“Arrow?”
“From where……?”
The disciples of the Limitless Gate stirred greatly.
No one saw where it flew from.
Even though all disciples of the Limitless Gate here are masters exceeding first-rate.
This is not an ordinary arrow.
And Han Cheong-un said.
“I surely told you?”
Han Cheong-un walking forward slowly and speaking.
“Ultimate Path ‘Gate’, I said.”
Every time Han Cheong-un took a step forward, the disciples of the Limitless Gate reflexively widened the distance and retreated.
Han Cheong-un, who seized the initiative with one arrow, put the spear on his shoulder, smiled meaningfully, and said.
“Did you perhaps think a young guy beat the Elder of the Limitless Gate recklessly without thinking about the aftermath just because his martial arts are a bit strong?”
“Eek…….”
“Tsk tsk, the future of the Unorthodox is dark. Being so innocent, where can you live acting as Unorthodox?”
At such Han Cheong-un’s words, the disciples of the Limitless Gate thought.
The opponent is not alone.
And it is certain that he already ambushed his side around here. Then…….
‘How many are there?’
‘Level? Weapons? Martial arts used?’
‘Whatever it is, he is acting like that because he thinks it's doable.’
Existence of the unknown is fear in itself.
In the imagination of the Limitless Gate disciples, the sect called Ultimate Path Gate starts to be inflated more and more.
The high martial arts possessed by the guy called young Sect Leader and the appearance of not retreating a single step even against the Limitless Gate, a corner of the Eight Gates of the Evil Way.
Probably the place called Ultimate Path Gate is a sect equipped with enough power to wage war with the Limitless Gate.
They are thinking so.
Actually, what was shown other than Han Cheong-un’s martial arts skill was only one arrow, but…….
They are thinking that is only the tip of the iceberg.
‘Seems almost done.’
Han Cheong-un aimed the spear toward the one who looked highest in status among the figures of the Limitless Gate right now and said.
“Mad Wolf Fist Mae Yeombang.”
Then the opponent flinched.
“Does you bastard have acquaintance with me?”
“Well, let’s say so.”
It is an acquaintance.
Although it is a matter before regression.
“That is not important……. What will you do?”
“…….”
“Will you go to the end? Or not? You choose.”
At Han Cheong-un’s words, the man called Mae Yeombang frowned.
Normally, he had no intention of returning without Han Cheong-un’s neck. But in the current situation, is that really possible?
Situation where they don't know how many enemies there are? Or who they are?
Even the Namgung Clan watching from one side might participate depending on the flowing situation.
No, probably they definitely will.
‘Putting a spoon on a winning fight and gaining fame easily is what Righteous bastards do best.’
In the end, there is no chance of victory.
Mae Yeombang, who reached that conclusion, said.
“Han Cheong-un of the Ultimate Path Gate. Our Limitless Gate will not forget today's matter.”
“Do as you please?”
“Eek…….”
“Just take the corpse. I will allow that much.”
Mae Yeombang ground his teeth but ordered subordinates to collect Cha Museong’s corpse and went back.
Until the hundreds of Limitless Gate disciples retreated like the ebbing tide, Han Cheong-un was watching them holding the spear like a firm guardian deity.
The people who saw that appearance…….
“W…… Won, right?”
“Right. Since the Limitless Gate withdrew.”
“Oh my god……. Did he say Ultimate Path Gate?”
“It seems a new strongman appeared in Jianghu.”
The stirring of people was natural.
The world doesn't know the things Han Cheong-un handled giving the name of the Ultimate Path Gate before.
He stopped the Tang Clan Annihilation, but that is something known only inside the Tang Clan, not the world.
He found the Shadowless Divine Thief's Secret Cave and won against an Elder of the Mount Hua Sect, but the world doesn't know that either.
There is no way the Mount Hua Sect would go around saying the sect's Elder was crushed miserably by a kid not even twenty, right?
But this time is different.
In the middle where countless people of Yueyang are watching.
Even in this place where the Namgung Clan, a sect with public confidence, observed…….
He achieved a result confidently.
He defeated Cha Museong, the Elder of the Limitless Gate, one-on-one, and made hundreds of Limitless Gate disciples who tried to attack afterward withdraw.
He won a victory confidently against the Limitless Gate, one of the Eight Gates of the Evil Way.
Raising the flag called Ultimate Path Gate.
‘This is a successful debut.’
It was an appearance sufficient to show the first impression of the Ultimate Path Gate to Jianghu. And Han Cheong-un turned back and said.
“I resolved all elements threatening Jinju Tower. So…….”
Han Cheong-un, who was speaking, was flustered.
Because someone rushed at him urgently and hugged him as is. That was…….
“Miss Eon? If you do this…….”
“…….”
He tried to detach her saying it is troubling, but it was impossible. Because Eon Sohui’s shoulders digging into his embrace were heaving.
Feeling his chest getting wet with moisture, Han Cheong-un sighed.
“This can't be helped.”
Han Cheong-un said.
Seeing that, Dang Jin right in front said as if dumbfounded.
“What can't be helped?”
“No, as a manly man, I can't push away a crying woman heartlessly, can I?”
“Right. I see.”
“Right.”
“But if it were me, I would push away heartlessly.”
“Is the Vice Sect Leader a manly man doing that?”
“Does a manly man have two or three lives? Have to live first.”
As soon as Dang Jin’s words ended…….
“Kyaak! Master, what are you doing?”
“Going crazy. Just because I vacated the spot for a few days again……?”
Beautiful voices of two women were heard from behind Han Cheong-un’s back.
Dang Seoyeon and Baek Sua.
Those two women appeared.
And behind them, a man holding a huge bow as tall as his height also walked ploddingly. He was exactly…….
“Oh, Hero Jang has come.”
Unavoidable Death Arrow Jang Hyun.
He made a reluctant expression seeing Han Cheong-un waving hand gladly.
Han Cheong-un said with a smiling face whether so or not.
“Coming here means you accepted my proposal…….”
“Master, what is that?”
“Separate for now. Separate!”
Before Han Cheong-un’s words even ended, the two women clung and tried to detach Eon Sohui crying in his embrace. However…….
Clench!
Eon Sohui is hugging Han Cheong-un’s waist tight with unusual strength.
Although looking frail as if she would fly away if the wind blows on the outside, the reality is a descendant of the Jinju Eon Clan famous for strong bones.
First of all, she trained Outer Arts faithfully.
She sensed an unusual crisis, interlaced her fingers, and held Han Cheong-un’s waist tight.
“Wow, this girl is strong. Won't let go?”
“Get away from our Master. Get away quickly.”
Of course, the opponents were also formidable.
Baek Sua went until just before drawing the sword, and Dang Seoyeon is already emitting poison qi in streams from her whole body.
Han Cheong-un shouted urgently.
“Wait a moment, Seoyeon. If you use that, even I get poisoned?”
“Then detach her quickly!”
“No, how do I push away a woman with force?”
“Don't know. I will just do it.”
Dang Seoyeon waving poison qi.
No matter how one looks, she is serious.
“Help me. Vice Sect Leader.”
He shouted urgently, but Dang Jin ignored Han Cheong-un neatly and went to Jang Hyun.
“Welcome. Hero Jang.”
“Are you Dang Jin, the Vice Sect Leader of the Ultimate Path Gate?”
“That is correct.”
“And also the legitimate grandson of the Sichuan Tang Clan?”
“Yes. Correct.”
At the appearance of Dang Jin admitting obediently, Jang Hyun nodded as if absurd and said.
“It was true. It was true.”
The son of the Sichuan Tang Clan left the family and entered another sect?
Certainly, it was a story difficult to believe just by hearing.
Dang Jin laughed as if understanding and continued speaking.
“Can I consider your coming here as accepting our Ultimate Path Gate’s proposal?”
“If you keep the promise.”
Jang Hyun looked straight into Dang Jin’s eyes and said.
“Are you certain you really have that?”
“Of course. Wouldn't it be revealed soon if we trade with lies?”
“Where is the item?”
“The Sect Leader has it.”
“If Sect Leader…….”
Jang Hyun’s head turns.
And where his gaze reached…….
“What are you people exactly? Why are you clinging to my Brother like this?”
Eon Sohui getting angry.
“My Brother? My? Brother?”
Dang Seoyeon whose eyes are starting to turn slowly.
“This is driving me crazy. How long were we apart, and in that time… again…?”
Baek Sua with an expression of transcending the world.
……There were these people.
Han Cheong-un’s appearance stuck between them sweating profusely didn't look very good just by looking.
“…….”
Jang Hyun was speechless.
He shot the arrow trusting that man without caring about becoming enemies with the Limitless Gate.
But the person in question being in such a state, he couldn't have faith at all.
“Huuuu…….”
‘Is it okay to trust?’
Jang Hyun just hoped his choice wasn't wrong.
* * *
When the Limitless Gate withdrew completely and the situation was organized somehow…….
“I asked who are you? You people?”
“Where does this rolling stone imitate an embedded stone?”
“Both of you prohibited from approaching our Master! Understood?”
Assuming it is organized for now…….
Namgung Jong of the Namgung Clan approached Han Cheong-un.
And seeing Namgung Jong approaching silently and looking at him steadily, Han Cheong-un said.
“Do you have any business?”
There is no hostility, but no goodwill either.
At Han Cheong-un’s extremely businesslike and stiff words, Namgung Jong smirked. And then…….
“I am Elder Namgung Jong of the Namgung Clan.”
He bowed politely and said.
At this appearance, Han Cheong-un frowned slightly.
‘Anyway, smart gentleman indeed.’
Right now, Namgung Jong is treating and speaking to Han Cheong-un not as a young warrior but as a Sect Leader of a sect called Ultimate Path Gate.
This was also saying that the Namgung Clan would officially recognize the sect called Ultimate Path Gate. Naturally, Han Cheong-un had to accept this.
“I am Han Cheong-un, the Sect Leader of the Ultimate Path Gate.”
Han Cheong-un bowing formally in return.
The women fighting noisily behind also stopped fighting for now as the atmosphere became serious and watched the situation.
And Namgung Jong said.
“I came because there are a few things I want to verify.”
“Please speak.”
“First, I congratulate you on winning against the Limitless Gate.”
“Thank you. Is that the business?”
“No. Just thought the order should be kept.”
“…….”
“Speaking of Red Flowing Fist Cha Museong, he was a powerhouse whose name was known by everyone in the Jianghu.”
“Was he?”
“Since you won against such a person, Sect Leader Han’s name will also spread in Jianghu soon. But…….”
Usually, what Righteous figures really want to say tends to come after ‘But’.
“Will that new star of Jianghu become a great blessing to Murim? Or a disaster? I want to make that clear.”
“That means…….”
“Is the Ultimate Path Gate a place professing to be Righteous Way? Or a place aiming for Unorthodox Way?”
“Hmm…….”
“Please clarify the color. So that we can also respond accordingly.”
