"What does that mean?"
"Because Wherever Grand Master Pyo Wol went, there was always a storm of bloodshed."
"......"
"I don't believe that Grand Master Pyo simply came here for a trip. He's someone who doesn't move without a clear purpose."
Nam Gung-Wol looked at Pyo Wol deeply.
Having fought on the same side, he could tell even more clearly.
Pyo Wol was not someone who wasted time. There was no way he would travel without any purpose.
If Pyo Wol stopped by Poyang Lake, it meant he wanted something here. Even though he couldn't be sure of what he wanted.
That's why meeting Pyo Wol was both pleasant and frightening.
"Please be honest. Did you really just happen to stop by while traveling?"
"......"
"I thought so."
"I'm looking for someone. He went missing around here."
"Who is he?"
"Hong Yushin!"
"Hong Yushin? You don't mean Hao Clan’s Chief Inspector, do you?"
"Yes! He disappeared while chasing after the Heavenly Flower Troupe here."
"The Chief Inspector of Hao Clan has gone missing."
Nam Gung-Wol's expression darkened.
Because the Chief Inspector of Hao Clan could be considered a big shot.
"Did you find any leads?"
"I'm still searching."
"I see. In any case, you might have to stay at Poyang Lake for a while to find him."
"I can't guarantee that. I could leave as soon as I find a clue."
"Oh, well!"
"Why are you hesitating to speak?"
"If you're going to stay for a while, please visit the Thousand Kingdom School once."
"Why the Thousand Kingdom School?"
"My father is very interested in Grand Master Pyo. He told me to bring you if I ever had the chance."
"I'll consider it."
"Thank you."
Only then did Nam Gung-Wol's face relax a little.
Just then, the waiter came with the alcohol.
As he opened the bottle, a strong fragrance flowed out. mymtlnoveltranslations
"Ah! This scent."
Nam Gung-Wol admired and filled a glass to the brim with alcohol.
Knowing that Pyo Wol did not drink, he didn't offer any and drank it himself.
"Great! As expected, it's fantastic."
Nam Gung-Wol wiped the alcohol running down the side of his mouth with his sleeve and muttered.
The side dish was the wild boar meat that Pyo Wol had left.
Nam Gung-Wol casually shoved the boar meat into his mouth as if he was familiar with it.
It was salty and slightly sour when eaten plain, but it went very well with the alcohol he was drinking now. mymtlnoveltranslations
Nam Gung-Wol had just taken another sip of alcohol when he heard the voice.
"What are you doing there?"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him.
Recognizing the familiar voice, Nam Gung-Wol put down his drink and stood up.
"You're here!"
Turning around, he saw a young warrior wearing a sleeveless shirt, which prominently displayed his shoulders.
The young warrior had disheveled hair like a lion and striking eyes. He was wearing a black sleeveless martial arts uniform with a dragon pattern on it.
An overwhelming aura emanated from his entire body.
Nam Gung-Wol approached the warrior.
"You've arrived, Ha-sang!"
"You should have waited quietly if you arrived first. Drinking in such an odd place."
"Haha! If you knew who this person is, you'd be surprised too."
Nam Gung-Wol pointed at Pyo Wol with his finger.
The warrior frowned for a moment.
He frowned because he saw a face that was annoyingly handsome.
Suddenly, the warrior's entire body became as sharp as a blade. mymtlnoveltranslations
The moment he saw Pyo Wol, his body instinctively reacted.
A ferocious light flickered in his eyes.
"Who is that?"
"Come on! Calm down a bit. Aren't the other people suffering?"
The aura the warrior released made the faces of the customers inside the inn turn pale.
Some of the weaker-hearted individuals even fell to the floor, vomiting what they had inside.
The warrior's aura was that powerful. However, there was no change in Pyo Wol's face, who took the full force of his aura.
'An extraordinary expert!'
The warrior clenched his fist.
Upon seeing Pyo Wol, a tremendous fighting spirit surged from deep within his heart.
It had been a long time since he had met an opponent who made his heart race like this. akhi buy me a coffee
That's why he was even more curious about his identity.
He asked Nam Gung-Wol again.
"Who is that?"
"He's Grand Master Pyo Wol."
"Pyo Wol? The Reaper?"
"That's right! He's known by such a nickname in Kangho."
"Heh!"
The warrior let out a strange laugh.
Suddenly, Nam Gung-Wol urgently said, mymtlnoveltranslations
"No!"
But before his words even finished, the warrior was already hurling his body toward Pyo Wol.
Bang!
With a loud noise, Pyo Wol's body flew through the inn's window.
The warrior had thrown a punch at Pyo Wol. However, there was no direct hit on Pyo Wol's body, as he managed to block it with the palm of his hand just before the impact.
Pyo Wol's body plummeted into Lake Poyang, tracing a long arc.
The warrior lunged at Pyo Wol once again.
Whoooosh!
The water's surface rippled greatly as the warrior passed by.
The sight of him flying through the water was like a black dragon wriggling.
"Wow!"
"It's a battle between warriors."
The customers inside the inn exclaimed.
They had no doubt that the warrior's fist would hit Pyo Wol's body once again.
Indeed, the warrior's fist struck Pyo Wol.
"Kuh!"
However, the warrior's expression was not good.
He felt no impact from the fist that had hit Pyo Wol.
'An illusion?'
The image of Pyo Wol, where the warrior had thrown his punch, disappeared in an instant.
At that moment, the warrior felt an intense sense of danger and looked at the sky.
Swoosh!
Pyo Wol's real body, which had deceived the warrior's eyes using the demonic shadow exchange, was falling from the sky.
The warrior tried to dodge and unfurled his water-walking skill.
However, Pyo Wol did not let him off that easily.
Four ghost blades, hanging from the Soul reaping thread, pierced the warrior's vital points.
"Chyaat! Black Dragon Flame!"
The warrior hastily unfolded his qi.
In the midst of the intense battle, the spectators at the inn watched with bated breath as the warriors continued to clash, each displaying their incredible martial arts skills.
The outcome of this fierce encounter remained uncertain, leaving everyone on edge as they witnessed the incredible prowess of both fighters. akhi buy me a coffee
The tremendous energy in his fist drew the water of the lake towards him.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the water's surface exploded, and a water column soared into the air.
The water column, combined with the warrior's energy, transformed into a black dragon that flew towards Pyo Wol. akhi buy me a coffee
The black dragon repelled even the ghost blade and reached Pyo Wol's vicinity.
The warrior had no doubt that his attack would hit Pyo Wol. However, his faith was betrayed once again.
Roar!
Pyo Wol's silhouette vanished as if it were an illusion.
Instead, an eerie killing intent was felt from behind.
Alarmed, the warrior instinctively dodged but couldn't escape the killing intent.
Bang!
"Ugh!"
He felt a powerful impact on his back, and his waist almost bent backward from the force.
Unintentionally, he let out a groan.
Fortunately, his bones didn't break, but it felt like his internal organs were severely shaken.
Suppressing the urge to vomit blood, the warrior spun around.
The first form of Black Dragon Destruction was unleashed.
In an instant, a dark energy burst forth.
The target was, of course, Pyo Wol. However, the next moment, a bewildered expression appeared on the warrior's face.
Pyo Wol, who he thought would be behind him, was nowhere to be seen.
'Damn it!'
The warrior gritted his teeth.
Once again, he felt the killing intent from behind.
Somehow, Pyo Wol had spread his water-walking skill and moved to the warrior's back.
It was an impossible feat for the warrior to comprehend.
He couldn't understand how Pyo Wol could move faster than himself, who was spinning like a top, especially on the water's surface. akhi buy me a coffee
However, it had happened, and he had to prepare for the upcoming situation.
"Ha!"
The warrior focused his energy on his back to brace for the impact.
Puff, puff, puff!
At that moment, the sound of rupturing erupted from his shoulders and back.
The Soul Reaping Thread had pierced through his back, rendering his defenses useless.
"Argh!"
The warrior's eyes bulged.
The wound was no more than a needle hole, but the pain was beyond his imagination.
At that moment, Pyo Wol yanked the soul reaping thread, dragging the warrior along.
Pyo Wol then stabbed him with a Ghost Blade.
Crash!
"Ugh!"
As the warrior plunged into the water, a tall water column shot up.
Pyo Wol immediately flew towards the inn.
As he kicked off the water's surface and flew towards the inn, Pyo Wol's movement was incredibly graceful. akhi buy me a coffee
The moment Pyo Wol landed in the inn, the warrior who had been submerged in the water emerged.
"Ah!"
His earlier confidence was gone, and he now looked as pitiful as a drowned rat.
Nam Gung-Wol clicked his tongue in disappointment.
"Tsk! I knew this would happen."
"Ugh!"
Enraged, the warrior let out a scream. The water's surface rippled violently, as if a storm was raging.
The warrior kicked off the water and flew towards the inn.
He landed right in front of Pyo Wol.
With a glare that seemed to want to devour Pyo Wol, the warrior suddenly took a respectful stance and bowed.
"I am Yong Ha-sang from the Dragon Mountain Manor. I apologize for my rudeness. Seeing the great Pyo Wol, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with the desire to compete."
Yong Ha-sang's eyes still held a strong desire to win.
Although he had been defeated by Pyo Wol, he didn't believe that it was due to his lack of skill.
He was confident that if they had fought on land instead of on the water's surface, the situation would have been different. However, since he had lost, he decided to treat Pyo Wol with respect for the time being.
"Dragon Mountain Manor? One of the Three Factions?"
"That's right! I am Yong Ha-sang, the young master of Dragon Mountain Manor."
Pride filled Yong Ha-sang's voice.
Dragon Mountain Manor was one of the Three Factions and one of the most prestigious martial arts families in the current martial world. Yong Ha-sang was the young master of such a prestigious family.
His father was Iron Tyrant Dragon Yong Geom-san, the leader of the faction, and he himself had earned the nickname of Little Tyrant Dragon, being an extraordinary martial artist. akhi buy me a coffee
His pride was immense, and he hardly acknowledged others.
Among his peers, he only recognized a few, including Nam Gung-Wol.
During his journey from the Dragon Mountain Manor to Poyang Lake, the rumor he heard the most was about Pyo Wol.
From the extraordinary martial arts that earned him the nickname "Reaper" to his otherworldly appearance, Yong Ha-sang thought the rumors were exaggerated.
He didn't want to admit that there was a young martial artist in his generation who was far ahead of him.
That's why he attacked Pyo Wol as soon as he saw him.
Although he was utterly defeated by Pyo Wol, his thoughts hadn't changed.
He believed it was because they had fought in the extremely unfavorable environment of the water's surface. If they had fought on land where he could stand, the result would have been different.
That's why he still looked at Pyo Wol with his head held high.
Pyo Wol stared at Yong Ha-sang's face and said a word.
"You're quite spirited."
"I hear that quite often."
"But if you want to live long, you should calm your spirit. I let you off this time because of Nam Gung-Wol, but you won't be so lucky next time."
"Heh! You think I'll be scared by that?"
Yong Ha-sang's fighting spirit only burned stronger.
At that moment, Nam Gung-Wol approached him.
He bowed his head to Pyo Wol to express his gratitude.
"Thank you for sparing my dignity. As you can see, he's impulsive like a wild boar, not caring about consequences when he charges. I didn't expect him to act like that towards you, master Pyo Wol. It won't happen again."
Yong Ha-sang was irritated by Nam Gung-Wol’s words.
"Who are you calling a wild boar?"
"Who else could it be? It's you, standing right in front of me."
"You jerk!"
Nam Gung-Wol then spoke to Pyo Wol.
"It seems like we might cause trouble for you if we stay here. Once this friend calms down, we'll visit you quietly later."
"Hmm."
"Then, please rest."
Nam Gung-Wol saluted Pyo Wol and took Yong Ha-sang to the upper floor.
Yong Ha-sang followed Nam Gung-Wol, but he couldn't take his eyes off Pyo Wol.
Pyo Wol saw the immense ambition in his eyes.
'That guy is also a dragon waiting for troubled times.'
