Side Story Episode 70. Dark Campaign (5)
“Hmm.”
Ho Sangbaek stroked his chin.
“Is this all?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s what I said.”
Husangbaek clicked his tongue and took out one of the documents he had organized on one side and handed it to the man.
“Bring it to me.”
The man’s eyes widened slightly.
“Are you okay?”
“What’s not okay?”
“The relative is the largest upper level in eastern Fujian.”
“We are the best in Fujian.”
“… … .”
“Even messing around is acceptable if you do it to a certain extent. Where do you make modifications? Just giving me a letter of introduction is something I should be grateful for.”
“All right.”
The man with the document in his arms bowed and left the room.
Ho Sangbaek chuckled.
“Do you want to have a power struggle?”
Since entering Fujian and slowly starting to take control of the surrounding area, I have seen this countless times.
For example, sending someone secretly to deliver an invitation like today. It was an invitation, and it meant bringing something to show your sincerity and come say hello.
These half-hearted people have no clue. Even if we were to send only 30% of the power of the Goma Sangdan, we would be able to completely evaporate the top bastards in the East.
‘I feel like I want to push it away.’
As long as the line is not crossed outright, it must be resolved peacefully. It was an unavoidable part.
“Danju.”
A subordinate’s voice was heard from outside the office.
“The Grand Elder of Yongquan Gate has brought a distinguished guest from Songshan Mountain.”
“Oh, really?”
A blush appeared on Ho Sangbaek’s face.
“Ask him to wait a moment. “I will change my clothes and go.”
“yes.”
Yonggwonmun was originally one of the Gangseo Bunta of Shaolin.
However, the situation around Bunta was so chaotic and all kinds of Safa people were gaining power and causing a stir in public sentiment, so Shaolin’s lay disciples were dispatched and began to clean up the surrounding area.
Afterwards, lay disciples gathered in that unknown Bunta and were recognized as a single school, which was the Yonggwon School.
Its history spans over a hundred years. Nowadays, Yonggwonmun has considerable prestige as a martial arts school representing the eastern part of Gangseo.
It is said that the great elder of Yonggwonmun brought a distinguished guest from Seongsan.
Songshan Mountain was a famous mountain located in Henan Province, one of the five peaks of the Central Plains.
And on the small peak of Songsan Mountain, there is the most famous temple of the sect, Shaolin Temple.
This was when Ho Sangbaek, who quickly changed into simple clothes, left his office.
“Danju!”
“What happened again?”
“It’s urgent.”
A masked subordinate took out a letter from his pocket and delivered it.
A ray of tension appeared on Ho Sangbaek’s face as he read the letter.
“As expected, did you notice?”
He closed the letter and spoke to his subordinate.
“Tell the leader of the Tiger Sword Dan to prepare. “It will be taken care of.”
“I follow your orders.”
It’s a really busy day. Should we show patience with the foolish upper class, or should we serve Grand Elder Yonggwonmun and distinguished guests of Seongsan?
Furthermore, even the evil spirits sent from Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
‘It turned out better. Since the distinguished guest is here, I can handle it all at once.’
* * *
It took two full days to get to the place that Yang Baekho had mentioned.
During those two days, Lee Cheon-sang and Gwi-chang did not let the yakshas rest. The decision was made that unnecessary rest was a luxury as the operation had begun in earnest.
After completely securing their base, the two ordered the yakshas to rest and climbed to the top of the mountain to look down.
“It’s spacious.”
Guichang’s eyes became sharper.
“I understand why the Commanding Lord chose this place as his base. “The road to and from is clearly visible.”
Although it was a hill, it was quite a high mountain when seen from the basin below. And the two were able to see the incredibly wide basin at a glance.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was quietly looking down at the basin, pointed west with his hand.
“hey.”
“I felt it too.”
A subtle, unscented odor is felt. Yangbaekho Lake and Yuljeoksan Mountain were passed by.
“By the time the sun sets tomorrow, it will be hard for us to smell this smell.”
Smokeless incense was a colorless and odorless scent, but it was an object whose scent could be smelled by inhaling a handful of powder called Gaeyongpun (開用粉). Even in the Heavenly Demon Church, it was an item used by elite units in the inner city.
Although it was an amazing object, it was clear that it had some limitations. After two to three days, you can no longer smell the dog powder, and since the dog powder itself is a toxic substance, you have to take a break for three to four days after using it.
Considering the effectiveness of incense-free, it is not something that can be called a restriction, but many of those who ignored the precautions suffered bloodshed.
“First, let’s select a few yakshas and send them to the point where the smokeless scent is cut off.”

Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“I think it would be good if he had quick feet and specialized in sneak attacks.”
“There’s a talented person who just happens to be a good fit.”
The person that Gwi-chang called was Yang Geon and no one else.
Yang Geon grinned and took the gun.
“This is Yang Geon, the temporary commander of the three armies.”
Guichang asked.
“How are you feeling?”
“I’m completely healed. “The commanding lord paid some attention.”
It’s not completely better. However, considering the internal injuries sustained so far, his recovery was surprising. I was able to use all nine of my original skills.
Lee Cheon-sang tilted his head.
“Temporary leader?”
“That’s right.”
“If no useful person comes forward, will you become the leader?”
“Maybe so?”
Guichang clicked his tongue.
“Enough of the useless talk, let’s get to the point where the scent stops working with the team members. When you arrive, send a team member, and if something happens, detonate a smoke bomb right away.”
“I follow your orders.”
Yang Geon went down the mountain with his team members.
In the Japanese dynasty, there was no one who was as agile in divine law as Yang Geon. However, most of the members of the group were good at close combat, so their lower bodies had good elasticity.
If your lower body is good, your stamina is good. It was perfect to be entrusted with this kind of work.
“I feel uneasy about sending them alone. “Let’s send another group when the sun sets today.”
“Let’s do that.”
Perhaps due to his extensive experience, Gwi-chang’s ability to handle his troops was quite precise and sharp.
As was the case with Yang Baek-ho, Guichang’s ability was also quite impressive. Lee Cheon-sang acknowledged that Gwi-chang’s command was reasonable considering the current situation, operation, terrain, and goals.
An ability that Lee Cheon-sang does not have yet. So he wanted to learn.
“It would be better to take turns standing guard from now on.”
“Let’s do that.”
Night has come.
The air in Fujian was not cold. Fujian is cool in summer and warm in winter. There were many trees, so breathing was very easy.
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang, who rolled up the flag and tied it to the flagpole, draped the red nightshade on his shoulder and performed the walking technique.
It was not full-scale training using demonic energy. Since we were currently on a mission, we couldn’t waste our strength carelessly.
However, Lee Cheon-sang was fully immersed. Even without pouring out magical energy, he was able to figure out to some extent how he would move and what the limits of his movements were.
‘Not bad.’
Geumgang Yacha Magick possessed martial arts skills of bare-handed white-handed hitting. Among them, the fighting method is Geumgangmagwon (金剛魔拳) and the fighting method is Yashahyeoljang (夜叉血掌).
It didn’t end there.
In Geumgang Yacha Magicong, there is one step that can best utilize the demonic energy. That is the Northern Heavenly Demon Hyebo.
It was a step that Lee Cheon-sang had never used before. The reason is that if the Geumgang Yacha Demonic Technique does not reach the Chilseong level, it is not possible to use true energy in accordance with the composition of the Bodhop.
In other words, Bukcheon Mahyebo is not only an excellent walking technique, but it can also be said to be the true beginning of Geumgang Yacha Magic Gong.
‘It’s definitely difficult.’
It was a magic craft that boasted a level of difficulty that was completely different from that of ordinary magic arts.
The same goes for Bukcheon Mahebo. Even though Geumgang Magic Fist and Yachahyeoljang were not ordinary martial arts, this method of martial arts contained the techniques of attack and defense, unlike magic.
‘It’s difficult, but I must make it mine.’
In Gwonbeop or Jangbeop, the footing method suitable for the basic style is naturally incorporated into the structure.
However, the uses of martial arts that are separately designated as Bobeop are endless.
If used properly, it can be used as a new method, and you can gain the upper hand in a game by escaping a retreat or occupying a direction that the enemy has not even thought of.
If you learn just one step properly, you can more than double your original skills. Lee Cheon-sang recognized it right away and put effort into practicing the footwork.
How much did you practice like that?
“You’re so enthusiastic.”
Slurp.
The foot gently swept the floor, drew an elongated oval, and straightened Lee Cheon-sang’s body perfectly.
It was an elegant and stylish move.
“Are you here?”
The person who appeared was Juyeon-gyo.
She smiled and shrugged her shoulders.
“Because guard duty is over.”
“When you’re done, take a break.”
“I don’t really feel like resting.”
“Still, take a break. “You have to force your eyes shut to prevent your strength from escaping.”
“What kind of training are you doing then, Monarch?”
Just be respectful, and the way you speak is the same. Only the positions they stand in are different, but the way they face each other is the same.
“It is a mission where the enemy’s level of risk cannot be predicted. “I am practicing my martial arts skills for one chance.”
“If you practice just that one martial art, will your original skills double or triple?”
“I don’t know about three times, but twice is possible.”
I asked as if it were a joke, but I got a serious answer.
Juyeongyo was surprised, but soon laughed. Lee Cheon-sang started from the bottom and quickly became the head of the headquarters. Now, it was easy to understand that he would do this no matter what he did.
“But why do you have to work so hard to train with a yaksha bun?”
“Because it’s a flag.”
“So why… … ?”
“I am the leader of a group of people. “If the leader’s flag is not broken, the Yashas will not give up until the end.”
“… … .”
“I will never give up my Yacha rank again in the future.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s voice was calm, as if he was listing obvious facts.
However, it came across differently to Juyeongyo, who listened.
It is a sincerity that feels stronger because it was indifferent. She once again thought that the person named Lee Cheon-sang was becoming more and more ambiguous.
And that’s how much affection I felt.
Slurp. hook!
Even though he was carrying a heavy flagpole with his arms, his feet were moving quietly and cheerfully.
‘It’s completely different.’
The level of martial arts is different from when we first met.
What kind of enlightenment did you gain that allowed you to achieve this kind of growth?
Juyeongyo, who was quietly looking at Lee Cheon-sang, took a step back.
“I’ll just go now.”
I didn’t want to disturb his training for no reason. Juyeongyo bowed his head and turned around.
Lee Cheon-sang did not answer, but walked on foot and slowly waved the flagpole. I was immersed in it.
‘That’s difficult.’
When the flag was folded and tied to the flagpole, it was literally no different from an iron bar. I thought that if I could freely handle this long and heavy iron bar, I would be able to handle other weapons much more easily.
I tried cutting with a knife, but the spearing was clumsy. I tried using a wooden spear when stabbing a tiger to death, but it was only a tool used to cut off the tiger’s breath and was not a realistic martial arts technique.
New martial arts, new weapons.
Lee Cheon-sang did not recognize it. The small smile on my face, the strong passion radiating from my eyes.
And I didn’t know that the thing that tickled my heart was the feeling of joy.
Early morning the next day.
Pow!
A smoke bomb exploded in the distance.
This was where Yang Geon was.
martial arts,
