“Senior, did you know that there are 72 Green Forests in Hyeonggui Mountain?”

“Huh? I’ve heard of it.”

“Then what do you plan to do if you encounter bandits?”

“Hmm. I feel bad saying this, but I have to lean on you. Bandits don’t touch coriander anyway.”

Why are bandits bandits?

The worldview of this martial arts world is that even Sapas, who draw their swords first when they are wrong with their suits, live in the city, complaining. What on earth are these bandits who have to live hidden in the mountains, in a place where Safa, who prey on the pockets of merchants and landowners, roam the streets?

Bandits are basically very timid.

You may ask, “How can I commit banditry when I am so fearful?”, but it is true.

Whether you are a faction or a political faction, if you establish your own territory, conflict will inevitably arise. You could say that I’m constantly exposed to this guy who is fighting over territory.

But what about the mountains?

Bandits are naturalists, so they do not enjoy living in the mountains, and living in the mountains inevitably leads to inconveniences in all aspects of food, clothing, and shelter. You have to buy alcohol and food from far away. It’s cold at night and hot during the day, and there are a lot of bugs in the mountains.

The living environment in the mountains is bound to be worse than that in villages or cities, and the reason people brave the harshness and go mountaineering in the mountains is because it is safe.

A guest came to the mountain and I saw that he was an expert with unusual prayers and bright eyes. Then, just observe the bandits from a distance and send them away.

A formidable opponent appears? Then, all you have to do is collect the toll tax through a moderate demonstration of force.

What if a traveler appears who seems to have no problem even if he robs him? Just shake it all off completely.

option!

That is the real reason why warriors choose the profession of bandits. If you have territory, you may be put in a situation where you have no choice but to fight from which you cannot back down, but that is not the case with bandits.

It is said that sometimes the Sanchae were defrauded by a passing super expert, but that can happen to anyone who walks the path of Sima Mao, not a political faction. In fact, the bandits are in a situation where they are being avoided even by the cooperation of the charlatans.

They subdue genuine charlatans or bandits who do not really seek compensation or fame, but usually there are no charlatans who subdue bandits. You went into the mountains and defeated bandits? However, there is no one who can prove that cooperation.

Even if I accidentally save someone, they don’t accompany me when I go up to subdue the living creatures.

Unless the bandits’ tyranny goes too far and their notoriety spreads to the nearby area, the task of suppressing bandits is not easy.

“If you show Jang Young once, he will run away and never come back.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Black Cat also had enough experience traveling here and there and encountering bandits, so there seemed to be no particular disagreement with my policy.

And as soon as that conversation ends.

Rustling. Rustling.

We encountered a group of five armed men.

*** ***

“Phew.”

Yeo Il-ye let out a long sigh. The beginning of a mountain that even the eyes of a top expert can only see as a dot. It was noticed that two people had encountered a group of bandits.

Yeo Il-ye bit her lip and thought. If I came forward now, the information would be included in Gaewangchae, but if I pretended not to know, the troubles of the travelers were clearly pictured in my eyes.

‘Since I’ve learned martial arts, I guess we’ll just go around together…’

The bandits that appear at the entrance of the mountain are truly ruthless. When the snails are broken, it is common for the mountain’s elite forces to block the path at the end of the mountain.

But things are different now. The bandits of Gaewangchae, conscious of their poisonous intentions, have unleashed their full force in place of the ruffians who have not learned martial arts.

“Tch..”

Yeo Il-ye gave strength to the sword soldiers.

The man may not know, but there was a very high probability that that woman would suffer an unspeakable tragedy. Bandits who had been oppressed for a long time under the pressure of possibly dying were very likely to move to relieve their sexual desires.

Yeo Il-ye was conflicted.

The entire village’s attention is now focused on the bandits who are out. If you rescue those travelers in this situation, you will definitely be exposed to the Gaewangchae.

What if Chaeju Makyeo, who is really a Gaewangchae, was one of the culprits who burned down the leisure lodge?

If he found out that Yeo Il-ye was visiting, he might destroy all physical evidence related to the Yeoga Lodge and run away. No, it was bound to happen if he was the one who threw away the living things and only hid his own body for his own safety.

Therefore, Yeo Il-ye was patient for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to snatch Mak Yeo-bu’s tail.

Yeo Il-ye closed her eyes. Father, mother, and their family members at the mountain lodge.

We need to soothe their souls.

however…

‘Indeed, even if I ignore them now and take revenge… will I be able to be honorable to the family of the mountain lodge in the underworld?’

A different scene flashed through Yeo Il-ye’s mind as she closed her eyes. Cheomsangpa.

Hyeok Kirin is in the position of ambassador. Yeo Il-ye’s teacher, Cheongheo Dosa. And the faces of the executed sisters and the priests.

‘Okay… I understand.’

The years of being born and raised in a business have pushed Yeo Il-ye’s back.

Yeo Il-ye let out a long sigh and ran down the downhill slope. In the end, Yeo Il-ye chose to save the passerby.

‘I don’t know if the time is right…’

It involves going down from the top of the mountain to the beginning of the mountain. Yeo Il-ye developed Yuunshinbeop to the extreme and kicked her legs. If I could ignore the rough road and keep running in a straight line without losing the acceleration of the downhill, I might be able to get there at least before the woman at the beginning got into trouble.

Faba Park!

Yeo Il-ye’s new model was launched at high speed towards the beginning of the mountain.

*** ***

“Hey, where are the executioners going?”

A fiddly gesture. poor gait. People using weapons as they please. Even the yellow teeth and the unique kinky look of people who have lived in the mountains for a long time.

Five people appeared, all claiming to be me.

“Brother, something is a little strange.”

I also agreed with the black cat’s whisper.

Usually, the bandits’ business method is to only send out bandits of truly terrible skills at the entrance to the mountain. From a living plant’s perspective, these are power consumptions that would not be regretted at all even if they died.

They send them out and check the opponent’s liver. Well, no matter how crude it is, ordinary people can rob it.

Above all, you can have a cause. What if the bandits cheerfully scold you for being a fool? Bandits, who have the justification of disturbing our family, come in droves, block the way out of the mountain, wait, and then rob us.

There are fewer setbacks if you rob with a justification than if you just rob. There is no one who covers their eyes and does not know that it is Aung, but the cause is still important.

Anyway, the bandits who should be at the entrance of the mountain should be ruthless at best…

The opponent’s skills are unusual.

All five of them have first-class or close to first-class skills. It may seem like they are second-rate or first-class, but considering that their opponents are bandits, their power can be classified as elite.

“I am a traveler named Geumbusan. Who are you?”

“Oh, us? We are rogues looking for the bounty on the bandits of Mt. Hyeonggui!”

“Yes! We are charlatans who have come to subdue bandits! But…why is the woman behind there hiding her face in a suspicious way? Are you in league with the bandits?”

“Suspicious! Show your face right now!”

I burst out laughing.

A situation where bandits are behaving violently towards passing travelers, claiming that they are ronins who have come to catch bandits.

But what’s also funny about this is that there’s nothing strange about them except that they look like bandits.

It is not surprising that ‘Ronin’ turns into a group of thieves who persecute travelers and extort their wealth in such a deserted place.

Among those who introduce themselves as ronin, less than 10% are actually ronin who make a living by selling their skills. More than 90% of them are criminals who impersonate ronin in this way. They are carrying weapons to do something dishonest, but they don’t have anything to say to others, so they just call them ronin.

Ronin does not have a qualification, but if you just say you are a ronin, you are a ronin, so there is nothing you can do about it.

“Are you covering your face with cotton thread even on a deserted street like this?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, I need to check every inch of my body.”

“Hmm. Brother. Are these people really ronins?”

“Of course not.”

“Then let’s just suppress it. It seems like something is happening on this mountain.”

I also nodded and drew my sword.

When I casually pulled out my sword, the bandits were surprised.

They couldn’t read Black Cat’s skills at the same level as the bandits, so what they read was my skills. Since they only had to deal with one top-notch person, they started making obscene remarks as soon as they encountered each other.

But since I decided to fight without much hesitation, those bandits must have sensed that something was wrong.

“Only one person is in charge!”

“Okay.”

It would seem that a bandit of this level could easily take on two, but in the first place, a black cat can be easily suppressed even if five of these idiots attack him at once.

So what you need to pay attention to is taking down everyone without missing anyone.

One thing that bothered me from the beginning was that, rather than surrounding us with an overwhelming force of five to one, they were widening the distance so that one person could escape at any time.

“This guy!”

Was there an agreement that one person would run away? The bandit I was trying to chase started running away without even looking back, and one of the remaining bandits blocked my path as I tried to chase the fleeing bandit.

Pow!

“Ugh!”

However, the black cat also moved immediately. I killed the bandit approaching me so that I could chase the fleeing bandit.

While the other three people were shocked by the majesty of the black cat that had blown away the bandit in just one day, I ran after the fleeing bandit.

Faba Park!

A move that erases from my mind even the slightest possibility that those bandits might be ronin. If I didn’t know the mountain path accurately, I couldn’t run without hesitation.

The distance from the other person widened slightly. Even if the fleeing bandit was a first-class beginner, my strength level and walking technique could catch up with a first-class one, but it was difficult to beat the bandit who knew the mountain path well.

The bandit must have known this too, as he ran, looked back at me, and smiled triumphantly.

And what the bandit saw was me putting my hand in my arms.

In the first place, I didn’t even think about catching the bandit by running. I just waited for the terrain to be suitable for throwing raindrops.

A few bags of good quality raincoat that I brought from the party. Rather than a reward, I also had to memorize it a few times during the course of researching the Tang Family Alliance Tiger Dragon Fighting Technique, and I happened to receive a few at that time.

Hiss!

The rain flew towards the bandits. The bandit opened his eyes wide, figured out Bido’s trajectory, and then rolled over.

“Ahh!”

From the very beginning, I could not see through the fact that I had applied the method of Ihwanbido and thrown two memorization techniques.

He created a memorization martial arts technique with Daeju Feng Yeong, Dang Do-gyeong, and Gaju of the Tang family and discussed memorization techniques. Having been among those people for two days, my cancer skills were bound to improve as well.

Normally, you have to unfold the Samhwanbido to be recognized as having applied the magic of the Hwan to the cancer technique, but it is now possible to imitate it even if it is not possible to go that far.

The bandit may have rolled over with the intention of lowering his body when he saw Bido flying toward his upper body, but the second Bido was targeting his lower body from the beginning.

It was a situation where you had to attack the legs to catch up, so it should have been considered suspicious that you threw the rain attack with your upper body.

Since it hit accurately on the thigh, there would be no more escape.

“This guy! Innoom!”

The bandit pulled out a sword and swung it wildly to threaten me, but his struggles stopped when he saw the sword in my hand. Having seen my skills just now, I realized that if a raindrop hits me while I can’t even get up, only I will get hurt.

“Drop the weapon.”

“This guy! I am a bandit belonging to Gaewangchae, one of the Green Forest Seventy-Two Houses! Our lender, Mr. Makyeo of Georyeokbu, is the best! If you touch me, Gaewangchae’s brothers will not remain silent!”

“Yes, yes. As soon as I met him, I knew he was a bandit. Okay, so quickly throw away your weapon before the rain starts.”

“Kk, kkuk..!”

After confirming that the bandit had thrown away his weapon, he pointed the sword at his neck and made the bandit lie down. It may have been out of style, but point-pointing is a skill that can be achieved at the highest level. I took out a rope from the bag I was wearing and tied his arms.

“Damn…! At best, to a second-rate guy..!”

Sigh!

The bandits also dismissed me as second-rate, so I got angry and punched him in the back of the head. This is the problem for those who have learned martial arts. If a person is said to be of a lower level than you, they won’t treat you like a human being? Actual martial arts level is not an absolute indicator.

In general, if your level is high, you are strong, but there are cases where this is not the case. Rather than just insisting on it, there are actually quite a few factors that can overcome this difference in status.

I adjusted the rope so that it tightened around my neck as soon as I moved my arms, and then pulled the rope.

“Get up and walk.”

“This guy! The lender will come down soon! Even now, hundreds of millions!”

The guy screamed so loudly that I kicked him. The guy who rolled over three pieces groaned and became quiet. If you use evil like that, it will be difficult if bandits actually come down from the mountain.

at that time.

Sssshhhh!

A truly huge flow of energy caught my sense of energy. It is literally a huge vortex of energy, like a typhoon.

“This is crazy..”

An overwhelming energy wave that feels as if your heart is being crushed by its mere presence. Even if we used only one-tenth, or even one-hundredth, of the current energy wave, it was so massive that it could subdue someone like me in a matter of days.

The problem was that the huge energy was approaching rapidly.

When I suddenly looked up with a stiff expression on my face, the bandit made a curious face, and his face suddenly turned bright red as if he had started to feel this huge energy wave.

The Qigong of the Tang family was not this loud, so there was no possibility of it being poisonous, and it was very likely that the main character of this Qi sect coming down from the mountain now was a bandit. So that kid is happy.

I bit my lip and hid the recovered secret weapon under my palm. The situation is somewhat distant from the black cat. No, even if the black cat comes, the probability of defeat is more than 70%.

Can you survive even just one move?

“Hahahaha! It looks like Chaeju himself is coming! You! Why are you insulting me like this when you are at best a second-rate warrior? I will scoop up your thighs and feed them to the dogs! I think I have to attack him at least a hundred times before he will be released!”

The bandit talked freely, but there was no time to pay attention to what the bandit said. Because the speed at which the air wave was approaching was literally unbelievable. No matter how much acceleration you gain while climbing down a mountain, it is difficult to use ordinary divine methods to keep all that acceleration.

A true expert who not only possesses advanced skills but also possesses rigorous martial arts skills has come down to us.

“Don’t even think about dying gracefully! Our mountain home is full of guys who have a knack for playing with people! Even if you open your thighs, you will live a very, very long time and scream in horror! Wahahahaha!!”

Perhaps in response to the guy’s voice, the gigantic feeling turned precisely in this direction.

Pow!

A new type that soars with binge drinking. It seemed like they were trying to visually check the source of the sound by jumping.

“Chaeju! This way! That stopper is over here! Wahahahaha! Look at the majestic appearance of our Gaewangchae owner…”

The guy’s speech suddenly became blurred.

That’s because the new type floating in the air had the appearance of a woman. I opened my eyes and recognized the figure. Is it fluttering because it moves at such a high speed? The face visible through the cotton threads, which are already dysfunctional…

It was a one-woman show.
