Cheonma Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 61

“Ughhhhh!”

Cheon Gyeong-wan made a painful sound, almost screaming, and walked.

It hurt as if his whole body was tearing apart.

But when he succeeded in taking steps, the pain disappeared like a lie.

Cheon Gyeong-wan didn’t relax because the pain had disappeared.

If he didn’t move quickly, a second pain came rushing.

The pain came even while walking, but compared to the pain he got when he didn’t walk, it was a level of massage.

So he had to force himself to take a step.

“Oh ughhhhh!”

Cheon Gyeong-wan’s face distorted greatly.

And beside Cheon Gyeong-wan, there was Yoo Seo-yeon walking with the same expression.

There was a deep regret on both of their faces.

If they had known this, they would never have asked for it.

The walking method that Byeoktaesan gave them was Muryangbo.

When they first heard the name, they expected it to be a really great walk. Wasn’t there no way to be insignificant with this grandiose of a name?

When they heard the method, the expectation continued to be great. It was very difficult and complicated.

After memorizing all the method to the end, their expectations only grew.

It was because just reciting the method made it seem like strange energy enveloped their bodies.

However, as they memorized the method, they began to walk according to the method that Byeoktaesan taught them and tilted their heads.

For some reason, their body was heavy throughout their walk. And it was difficult to move. It felt like walking in water.

The walk itself was not very complicated. In other words, the movement of inner power was the key.

Byeoktaesan very kindly unraveled the stiffness and gave them the path of the movement.

And he gave them the exact gait along the path.

After doing so, Byeoktaesan smiled meaningfully.

They should have noticed it.

However, Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon made two more moves after that.

From then on, hell began.

Muryangbo meant giving the body unlimited pain and load.

When they heard the meaning from Byeoktaesan, they almost ran at him.

At least, it seemed that if they didn’t grab his collars and shake it, their anger would not subside.

But that was just for a moment.

The pain that had continued since then made Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon unable to think about anything else.

Muryangbo was a really peculiar walk.

They were just walking, but their whole body was heavy and painful.

But if they didn’t walk, more serious pain came. It was as if it were saying that if they don’t walk quickly you will die.

So they had to keep walking despite all the pain.

“Don’t stop. If you stop, your body may burst.”

How can they stop hearing these words?

“This was done for you guys. When you get used to Muryangbo, the circulation of inner power becomes natural and your muscles become hard and flexible. If you practice for a long time, you will be free from poison as well.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon said all the curses they could think of in their hearts.

That was good and all, but how long did they have to do this?

As the two were fighting pain with their teeth clenched, someone quietly stepped into the training field.

Byeoktaesan turned his head and looked at him.

He was a man in a warrior outfit, but it was a little strange.

Byeoktaesan’s expression became strange.

“What is it?”

The man politely bowed his head to Byeoktaesan.

“The Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui have told me to come get you, my lord.”

Byeoktaesan smiled.

“They told you to bring me?”

“Yes. They said they have something to say to you.”

Byeoktaesan asked further.

“So where are they now?”

“I will guide you to them.”

“You guiding me to them is fine, but I asked where they were?”

“They are in a small hostel on the riverside, a little ways away from the dock.”

“A hostel? They weren’t looking at patients, but they were in a hostel?”

“Yes. It’s a really small hostel without a name. They told me to bring the lord as soon as possible. I’ll guide you right away as I know the road very well.

Byeoktaesan nodded and looked at Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

The two were walking with their teeth clenched to endure the pain, not paying attention to whether or not Byeok Tae-san had a conversation with the man.

“Shall we stop for a while and go back together?”

The two nodded franticly, as Byeoktaesan’s words fell. And they looked at Byeoktaesan with earnest eyes.

Byeoktaesan smiled and said.

“You can stop now.”

The pain that struck their whole body disappeared without a trace.

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon looked at Byeoktaesan.

And they were surprised.

This was because Byeoktaesan suddenly grabbed the neck of the Homu-ryeon warrior.

“Ugh! Why, why are you doing this.”

“Did you think I’d believe you talking nonsense?”

“It’s the truth. Ugh.”

Byeoktaesan threw the man back.

Crash!

The man fell between Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

“Restrain him.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan moved reflexively, immediately as Byeoktaesan’s orders were made, and suppressed the man’s pressure points.

Then Yoo Seo-yeon quickly ran to somewhere and took a thick rope and tied the man tightly.

“My lord, what is it? This person is Homu-ryeon, is it okay to do this?”

“He told me Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui told him to bring me.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon nodded at the same time.

“He said nonsense. It’s questionable.”

“Go and tell this to Homu-ryeonju or someone who has a bit of strength. There will be some suspicious guys in the hostel a little far from the dock. Hand this one over too.”

“Is it a trap?”

“Well. I don’t know that. But they will probably have something ready, so let’s leave that to Homu-ryeon.”

Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon’s expressions were slightly darkened.

It was because there wasn’t much to do.

If there was nothing to do, won’t they have to resume their hellish walking training again?

Their bodies trembled.

“And check the schedule of where the Cheon chu Shin ui and Il Chim Gui has gone today.”

“Pardon?”

“Hurry!”

Byeoktaesan’s yelling prompted the two people to move.

Cheon Gyeong-wan grabbed the tightly tied man and ran. And Yoo Seo-yeon followed him.

The two were so hurried that they returned within half an hr after they ran out.

* * *

The situation was getting worse.

Twenty Homu-ryeon warriors fought fiercely with the black-masked men protecting Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui.

As soon as he found a gap, Il Chim Gui threw a needle and stabbed the black-masked people’s weakness.

There were a lot of black-masked people who fell like that.

However, as soon as the situation seems to be resolved, new black masked people jumped over the fence.

In the meantime, wounds steadily accumulated on the bodies of the Homu-ryeon warriors. Their movement became unnatural, and their inner power began to break occasionally.

The aftermath of using too much inner power was happening.

They had no choice but to use their inner power excessively. The black-masked people frequently launched attacks close to suicide without any consideration of their welfare.

They couldn’t stop it without being overdoing it.

“I think it’s been a while since they attacked, but support is still not coming.”

Cheon Chu Shin Ui’s expression was slightly hardened.

Some time has passed since they started fighting with them. There should be a reaction at this point, but there was nothing like that.

If it remains like this, all the Homu-ryeon warriors will eventually fall.

Although the martial arts of Il Chim Gui was significant, it won’t be easy to stand up against all of them.

If he’d rather run alone, the road might open up.

“Brother, it would be better to take a chance and get out of here.”

“Get out of here? Do you think it is possible?”

“I have a plan that I have hidden. I’ll use it, so using that time we can get out of here.”

The face of Il Chim Gui distorted. He threw two needles and knocked down two black-masked men.

“Are you saying you want me to leave you here?”

“Let’s bet on the side with a higher probability. Go out and find the lord. Don’t you think something will happen for the better if the lord gets here?”

“Even if it’s the lord, how would he deal with so many of these guys? It’s better to wait for Homu-ryeon.”

“If you see that they haven’t come yet, there must be something wrong with Homu-ryeon. The fact that they have come so brashly means that they have done everything necessary.”

“Damn it. Anyway, I’m not going. No, I can’t go. I have some skill with needles, but I can’t because I’m not good at running martial arts.”

“Hah, are you being stubborn in the midst of this? People who have a chance to live should continue living. And even taking a glance, they aren’t trying to kill us, they’re trying to catch us. So, go ahead, find, and bring the lord over.”

“Hey, you idiot. Do I look like a stupid dog to you? I’m not going. And do you think that you are the only one that has hidden plans? I also have them. Open your eyes wide and look straight ahead.”

Il Chim Gui took out a needle from his chest. However, it was very long and thick unlike the needles thrown so far.

“That… that looks like a stake rather than a needle… … .”

“It’s a needle.”

Il Chim Gui stared at the black-masked man, standing in a distance and staring with gleaming eyes.

It was the one who first came out.

“I don’t know about other guys, but I should take that one down with me.”

“What do you mean to go down with him. Words become seeds, so if you’re going to throw it, then throw it, and don’t say anything like that. I will use what I prepared as well.”

Il Chim Gui nodded and raised his inner power through Il Chim Gong.

Shh!

A powerful energy whirlwind appeared around him. And it gathered with the stake, no, needle, held in the hands of Il Chim Gui.

He threw the needle that had gathered all the energy that made it look like it would burst.

Roar!

A huge needle flew away, sucking in all the surrounding air. The masked man in black swung his sword in surprise when he saw the needle flying toward him accurately and quickly.

Boom!

The needle collided with the sword and a huge explosion occurred.

And with the explosion, countless fine needles in the pile poured out in all directions.

Stab Stab Stab!

Because it was an attack that did not care whether it was ally or foe, it was an attack that had to be detonated at the place where the enemies gathered.

And it was tremendously powerful.

Fine needles were stuck on the entire body of the black-masked man who blocked the stake. He knelt down with blood foaming from his mouth.

And all those around him fell like broken dolls.

“How is it? My workmanship.”

The shoulders of Il Chim Gui soared. Cheon Chu Shin-ui raised his thumb without realizing it, then quickly lowered it.

“At least you can be honest.”

Il Chim Gui laughed as he said so. But the expression wasn’t that bright.

The strength he put into this attack was too great. He probably won’t last much longer.

Moreover, despite doing so, there were still too many enemies left.

“Didn’t you say you have a hidden skill as well, why aren’t you using it? Now is the time to use it. That way, we can buy more time.”

“I was going to use it. Stop begging like a child.

“What? Child? Do you really want to fight me right now?”

In the midst of yelling at Cheon chu-shin-ui like that, the Il Chim Gui struck his needles and defeated two black-masked men.

They had killed so many, but there was still a lot left.

And dozens more of the black-masked people crossed the fence.

“Shit it’s just getting worse and worse.”

Il Chim Gui muttered with a dark expression.

And Cheon Chu Shin Ui threw black beads the size of a fist at the black-masked people who had just passed over.

Boom!

As the black beads burst, black smoke spread all around.

The black-masked people who inhaled the smoke suddenly stopped, and then the whole body began to swell.

“I was wondering what I was supposed to do if it didn’t work but fortunately it works.”

Hearing the murmurs of Cheon Chu Shin Ui, he looked at him with an absurd expression.

And at that moment, the bulging black masked people began to burst one by one.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As they burst, flesh and bones swept around.

But that was it.

There were still many black-masked men, and the Homu-ryeon warriors began to fall one by one.

Cheon Chu Shin-ui began to heal the fallen warrior by pulling them inward.

They had to endure this way.

But the situation was hopeless. It seemed that they couldn’t stand them anymore.

“Ha, it would have been worth trying if I had only Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.”

Cheon Chu Shin Ui mumbled like that.

As if he agreed, his eyes widened, who nodded his head.

“Huh. What the hell is that guy?”

The black-masked man who was foaming with blood around his mouth earlier by being hit by Il Chim Gui was slowly rising.

However, intense and violent energy was pouring out of his body.

“Doesn’t he seem like he is exploding his potential power?”

“I think so. He doesn’t know that his life is precious, so of course, he doesn’t care about the others’ lives as well. Tsk Tsk.”

He kicked his tongue as if he was pathetic, but his expression was dark.

It’s hard, though, but if that guy exploded his full potential and came rushing in without care for his life, things will get much worse.

No, maybe it’s over now.

The man who exploded his full potential was about to fly towards them when someone fell from the sky. Not just one, but two.

Crash!

As soon as they landed on the floor, they swung their swords in all directions, and their aura was terrifying.

The eyes of Cheon chu shin ui and Il Chim Gui who saw the two were full of vitality.

“They are finally here!”

The people who appeared were Cheon Gyeong wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

Cheon chu shin ui and Il Chim Gui quickly looked around.

Surprisingly, the black-masked people around the door collapsed, and Byeoktaesan opened the door and entered inside.

“Fuck, you guys are so screwed now.”

Il Chim Gui muttered and laughed.
