 Chapter 301 - Yongho Family (8) Chapter 301: Yongho Family (8) ‘H-he cut his head off!!!’ With warm blood covering their naked bodies, the two brothers shook with fear. They were more terrified than becoming enraged by the death of their brother. “…If you speak foolishly, you will also die.” Yeowun spoke coldly as he looked down at the other two with an emotionless face. And Yang Danwa moved his blade across the ground, making a shrieking sound as if he was threatening them, just like an executioner. The two brothers became pale from fear. ‘T-this bastard will really kill us!’ ‘…We might even die!’ They finally realized the gravity of the situation. They realized that there was no way this man would stop just because of their uncle. ‘Ah…’ ‘W-what have we done…!’ As for Dahing and Man Ou, they couldn’t even think straight as they looked at the head of Gar Ren rolling on the ground. Things had gone too far and there was no going back. Yeowun then went over to the first brother, Gar Mou, to make him talk. “Where is the Yongho Family? Tell me their location.” “Y-Yongho family?” Gar Mo became surprised when he was asked about Yongho Family instead of his Bokpeng Family. But these men would surely attack the Yongho Family if he told them their location. ‘W-what should I do?’ They were pirates, but the most important rule of the 18 River Families was to never betray each other. But Gar Mo thought lying might cost his life. After going through many thoughts in a short moment, Gar Mo chose to betray his fellow pirates. “I-if you go out east and follow the river about 50 miles down, you will reach Domen Mountain. And by the corner where the river splits, you will find them.” Gar Mo revealed the location of Yongho Family. Fellow pirates were important, but his own life was more important than that. Yeowun then turned to Dahing and Dahing nodded with a grim look, confirming the information to be the truth. ‘There was no need to ask them.’ Yeowun’s original plan was to kill these three brothers and make Dahing tell him the location of Yongho Family, but he got the answer before that. Gar Mo then looked up to Yeowun and begged. “P-please let me live! I told you what you wanted to know!” “You are mistaken.” “?” “Since when did I say I’d let you live?” “W-what?!” Gar Mo’s face turned pale. He sold his fellow pirates, so he thought he could live. But… “Kill them all.” “Y-you bas…” With Yeowun’s order, Yang Danwa immediately sliced his head. Gar Mo died not even realizing he was killed. There was no promise given from the beginning. Yeowun did not like leaving potential threats. If they were to survive, it was likely that they would go to Gar Mojam and tell him what happened. “You are the last.” Yang Danwa then swung his blade on the last brother. And second brother Gar Tek was killed without even getting a chance to speak. It seemed he was too terrified by watching his two brothers being killed, as he peed before he died. ‘T-this is the Demonic Cult!’ ‘These people have no mercy!’ And all others from the Osang Family House were too terrified from what they just witnessed. They did hear that the Demonic Cult was more cruel and merciless in some way, but they now witnessed it with their own eyes. Dahing then looked at Yeowun with a fearful look. Yeowun had acquired the information he wanted, so maybe it was their turn now. But… “Let’s go.” “Yes, master.” Yeowun ordered and began to leave. ‘H-huh? Why?’ Chun Yeowun didn’t seem to be interested in them anymore. Dahing became dumbfounded as they were leaving the room, and suddenly asked, “W-why are you letting us live?!” He was curious. He couldn’t understand why the man who would even kill Gar Brothers would not kill them. It seemed better if the man killed them to remove any spill of information. Yeowun stopped and answered. “Didn’t you tell me where the Gar Brothers were yourself? You and I are on the same team. I only helped you.” “W-what? That’s nonsense!” “Well, I got the information I need, so I paid my price.” Dahing became shocked when Yeowun said that he had given help. If the spies were alive, it might have been more dangerous, but the spies were all dead. ‘…He just changed his mind.’ “Hah…” Fortunately, it seemed Yeowun was considering the information he got from the Gar Brothers to be given by the Osang Family House. Dahing sighed in relief. Yeowun then laughed and spoke to Dahing. “Oh, and just for your information. You have one more spy within your family. I’m sure you can take care of that yourself.” Dahing’s eyes then grew large with shock. ‘W-what?! There’s one more?!’ He thought three people that Yeowun killed were all of them, but if there was one more hidden, then this was really bad. If Yeowun found three spies immediately, then it was likely that Yeowun knew the existence of another spy. And if Dahing did not find this spy, then it was likely that the message will go to Gar Mojam, eventually killing Dahing. He had to find the spy. “Nobody leaves this room!!” “What?” Dahing ordered every warrior within the room to not leave as Yeowun and his members left. As they got out of the building and walked the alleyway, Hu Bong asked Yeowun. “Master, how did you find another spy?” Yeowun then laughed, “It’s a lie.” “What?” “There are no more spies.” “No? But… OH!” Chun Yeowun’s last warning was actually false. The Osang Family House did not have anymore spies. But Yeowun’s lie had put suspicion on everyone within that room. “It’s a great tactic, master,” Yang Danwa commented in amazement. This probably ensured that Dahing and people within that house would grow suspicious of each other and not even think about doing anything else about Yeowun and his members. “Let’s make haste. We will find the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor before midnight.” “Yes, master!” Chapter 302 - Disaster above a ship (1) Chapter 302: Disaster above a ship (1) After getting out of Meking City, Chun Yeowun and his group traveled east along the Yellow River for 50 miles. They moved on horse so it didn’t take too much time. As they got to the destination, the sun HAD halfway disappeared over the horizon and the Yellow River had turned red by the sunlight. “Whoa.” “This is beautiful.” They were riding on a horse by the river, and the sight of the river at the sunset was spectacular. This wasn’t something that Yeowun, Hu Bong or Bakgi saw as they grew up within the castle of the Demonic Cult. After running through for a while, they were now near the Domen Mountain area. As Gar Tak said, the river was split into two, with one small river going to the left. “There really is a split.” They went left toward the small river that was running toward Domen Mountain. After some point, the mountain was now getting in the way so they had to leave their horses and travel on foot. After climbing through the mountain, they saw tens of shacks hidden behind the mountain. It was the location of the Yongho Family. “Wow. I see why they can’t be found,” Hu Bong commented. This pirate village was located at a natural fortress, hidden away within the mountain and rivers. The village was located right by the river, so it looked easy to move via boats, best hideout for pirates. “I see watchtowers.” Yang Danwa pointed out with his hand. As he said, there were some watchtowers with warriors standing watch over it. The watchtowers were well located so that they could spot anyone coming near the village. ‘They aren’t just mere bandits then.’ It was surely a home of one of the 18 River Families, the infamous organization of the Forces of Evil. There was no way that the security would be any less. “That ship is quite large.” Yeowun then pointed at the two large ships docked by the dock at the village. They saw many ships over at the river while they traveled down here, but that ship was much larger than any of the others. “Hm… this is strange.” Yang Danwa seemed curious however. Yeowun turned at him and Yang Danwa explained. “As far as I know, their ships are not small, but they aren’t THAT big either. They are pirates… their ships are bit smaller and made to travel at much faster speeds.” Yang Danwa had the experience of fighting against pirate ships of the 18 River Families, so he was aware of their ships. But those two ships at the village were much larger than any of the ships that Yang Danwa saw. Those ships looked like they were made to load lots of cargo. “Oh, look at that!” Hu Bong then pointed out the people moving along with the heavy load. Over twenty men were moving stuff by a pull cart and were moving toward the dock. It seemed they were moving everything they had within the village down there. “I think they are dismantling that shack there,” Bakgi said as he pointed out. There were four men working on a shack to dismantle it. It wasn’t apparent at first, but they now realized that one third of shacks within the village were already dismantled. Yang Danwa then spoke to Yeowun. “Master, I think they are moving their base.” “Their base?” Yang Danwa concluded that they were in the process of relocating. Yang Danwa knew that the pirates relocated their base to avoid being spotted by the government or enemies. It was interesting that they arrived when these pirates were preparing to move. But it had its benefit. “Maybe this is a good chance. If we use this to our advantage, maybe it will allow us to take back the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter without much problem.” Under normal circumstances, a huge fight was inevitable against these pirates. But if they were busy preparing to relocate, maybe it was going to make it easy to infiltrate into them and find the target. “We will have to look into it first.” “Yes.” They needed information. The first thing to know was if these pirates were really trying to relocate, and second, was to find out where the granddaughter was being held. “Bakgi.” “Yes, Master.” Yeowun pointed out at the closest watchtower from their location. There were two watchers on it. “Can you quietly bring them here?” “I will try, Master.” Bakgi specialized in kick skills, so he was also best among the Six Swords in stepping skills. Even if there were watchers on the watchtower, they were merely top-level warriors so it didn’t seem that hard to kidnap them. “Then I’ll be back soon.” Bakgi then quietly moved out. Soon, he was already at the watchtower. Yeowun and others were looking down from the mountain, so everything was clearly visible. Chapter 303 - Disaster above a ship (2) Chapter 303: Disaster above a ship (2) ‘He’s doing good.’ Bakgi quickly got up to the watchtower and snapped one of watcher’s necks. And when the other man tried to scream with shock, Bakgi sealed his bloodpoint and snapped the back of the head to make him pass out. “Whew.” It wasn’t a hard task, but he had to do it secretly so it made Bakgi a bit sense. Bakgi then took up the unconscious man up and got down. That’s when something unexpected happened. “W-what are you!?” It was time for a shift change. Bakgi tried to charge at them but… “UGH!” Hu Bong and Yang Danwa appeared behind them and quickly killed them. They saw other watchers approaching the tower so they quickly came after Bakgi to help. It could have revealed them if they were a bit late. “Were you surprised? Hehe.” “N-no, I wasn’t.” Bakgi shook his head at Hu Bong’s tease. “Be quiet and move those bodies first.” “Yes, sir.” Hu Bong and Bakgi then took these two bodies into bushes away from the watchtower. Yang Danwa took the unconscious man up and brought him back to Yeowun. “We were lucky. They will not realize for a while since we even got the other watchers who came to change shifts.” But that would surely not last too long. It was only a matter of time when someone would realize that the watchtower had been missing of watchers for too long. They had to make it quick. Yang Danwa woke the man up. “???!” The man woke up and realized he was kidnapped and became shocked. Yang Danwa warned before he unsealed him to make him talk. “If you scream, we will kill you. Nod if you understand.” With a cold blade touching the neck, the man nodded frantically. He didn’t seem to want to die. Yang Danwa unsealed his blood point and asked, “Is the Yongho family relocating today?” “Y-yes, sir.” It was as expected. Before asking the location of the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter, Yang Danwa asked something else first. “Why today?” “W-we are told that our location has been compromised.” “Compromised?” Yeowun frowned, wondering if it was because of them. ‘No way. We came straight down here.’ Yeowun’s group left Meking City right after they killed Gar Brothers, so it was impossible for that to be known already. Yang Danwa questioned the man to see if he knew who found out about their location, but the man didn’t seem to know that. “I-I really don’t know, sir!” It seemed he was telling the truth. Yang Danwa then moved onto ask the most important question. “Where is the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor?” “What? Granddaughter of… who?” Yang Danwa pushed the blade that was on the neck. “Hiiiiiiiik!!!” “Don’t try to fool me.” “I-I don’t know! I don’t know anything about a granddaughter. I mean, we don’t even have anyone being kept from the outside right now!” “What?” That was strange. This was about the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor, and it was Hing Wunja, under the truth serum, who spoke. He said he messaged the Yongho family to retrieve her any time, so that wasn’t a lie. ‘Hmmm…’ Yeowun then changed the question. “Do you know a woman named Gam Miyan? She should be muscular and have a dot on her nose…” Gam Rosu said her granddaughter closely resembled her. She also mentioned that all members of her family trained their muscles to better treat patients, so it was easy to recognize. “Muscular woman? Oh! You mean the First Mate’s loot… I mean, his woman!” The man recognized the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor right away when given the specifics. It seemed the Yongho Family wasn’t aware of who this woman really was. It looked like Hing Wunja hid the truth purposely so that the Yongho family would not use the hostage for their own benefit to bring out the Godly Doctor. But there was another problem. “First Mate’s… woman?” That message did not bode well to everyone. It seemed a year in the village of pirates had taken a drastic turn. “This won’t be good news to Granny Gam.” “…Looks like it.” Even if they kidnapped her due to deal with Hing Wunja, there was no way pirates would leave a woman alone for a year. As Hu Bong said, it was likely that Gam Rosu will wail over what happened if she finds out. “Then where is she?” At least they knew that she was alive, so they needed the location. Yang Danwa asked and the man answered with a shaking voice. “S-she’s on the ship.” “You mean that ship?” Yang Danwa asked as he pointed out the large ships at the docks. The man then shook his head and pointed toward the riverbed where it connected to the main Yellow River and spoke. “Our leaders are all on the ships over at the river.” “What?” Yeowun became surprised and quickly took steps to climb up a tall tree. And there he saw five battleships staying stationary in the middle of the river just before it connected back to the Yellow River. “Dammit…!” Chapter 304 - Disaster above a ship (3) Chapter 304: Disaster above a ship (3) About an hour ago, Chun Yeowun and Hu Bong found a small village by the small river. There was a small fishing village that maintained themselves by fishing at the river, where Yeowun was able to purchase a small boat. Two of them then set sail on the river to meet up with the others at the appointed time. The speed of the water was faster than they thought. “M-master! It’s already so fast without a row!” Hu Bong, who said it was fine, soon became tense. Yeowun, who was at the end of the boat, took the key and felt the speed of river becoming faster. ‘If I make any mistake or bump into something, I might not be able to haul them.’ Yeowun clenched the key. And after moving down the river for a long time, they saw faint light over in the middle of the river. But suddenly, the faint light immediately began to grow large and brightened up the whole ship. “M-master! It suddenly became bright!” “…I think there’s a problem.” Yeowun frowned. Their plan didn’t have any potential risks. They weren’t sure how they were spotted, but it was certain that these pirates were preparing to fight. “W-what should we do? The water’s becoming more rapid!” Their small boat was moving through the river water very quickly. It seemed like they were going to shoot past the ship of Yongho Family at this rate. “I guess we can’t do it quietly then.” “What?” “We have no choice. Let’s board their ship.” Yeowun then pulled the cloth off his wrist. The black metal above his wrist then scattered and turned into a sword. Hu Bong’s eyes grew large as it was always amazing to see each time. When Yeowun sent energy into the Sky Demon Sword, the sword began to float itself as if it were alive. The sword lowered down, as if it was telling them to hop on it. Yeowun got up on the sword and sent his energy to make his feet stick on the sword and spoke. “Come here, Hu Bong.” “Y-yes?” “We’ll fly, so I’ll carry you up.” Mun Ku would have been more than happy to jump up to Yeowun, but Hu Bong became a bit embarrassed. Yeowun laughed and snatched Hu Bong and immediately flew up in the air. “Waaaaaaaah! M-Master!” Hu Bong became pale as he was dangling in the air with Yeowun grabbing his arm. After flying through the dark sky, Yeowun quickly jumped down onto the ship. Their boat struck the battleship of Yongho family and sank. The speed was too fast for such boat to withstand anymore. Hu Bong, who did not hear Yeowun say that he was going to go, rolled on the floor when he dropped. He then got up and became shocked to find countless pirates surrounding them. ‘T-this is too many!’ He knew that there were a lot of them, but it felt different when seeing them up close. Pirates were looking back at Chun Yeowun who was floating in the air with a dumbfounded look. Flying air sword. It was a technique that only existed in legends, only possible in theory with an extreme level of power in both sword skill and stepping skill. It was a technique that can only be used by supreme master level warriors, so it was obvious why all these pirates were terrified. ‘I-it’s not him!’ With Chun Yeowun’s apperanace, the man who once found Hing Wunja’s remains back at Sword Creek realized that the killer wasn’t Yang Danwa. But of course, Yeowun wasn’t behind those cut off limbs. Yeowun glanced around to check the enemy’s power. ‘Two.’ The only men significant enough above this ship was the man hiding his face with a bamboo hat, and the leader of the Yongho Family, Bok Hosun. The man was at the superior master level warrior level, and Bok Hosun was at the super master level. The only annoying thing was that there were just too many enemies. ‘There are about 300 at least.’ And Yeowun heard Fourth Elder Yang Danwa’s telepathic message coming through his ears. [My lord. It was a trap.] Yang Danwa quickly briefed on what he knew. During the process of rescuing, Gam Miyan blew a while to signal these pirates, and it seemed that the man with bamboo hat had worked with these pirates to set traps. Yeowun then glanced over at Gam Miyan, the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor who was frantically trying to hide with a dagger in her hand. With Yeowun’s cold eyes gazing at her, she flinched with fear. The trap was set by that man with the bamboo hat, so it was acceptable but Yeowun couldn’t understand Gam Miyan’s actions although she was said to be kidnapped. That’s when the man shouted to Yeowun. “Are you a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan?” Yeowun raised his right eyebrow at the question. It seemed that man had mistaken Yeowun to be a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan. And with this simple question, Yeowun was able to guess two things. ‘They must have come here after checking what happened at Sword Creek.’ Yang Danwa told Yeowun that the man with the bamboo hat knew that they were here for the granddaughter of the Godly Doctor. And if that man was asking Yeowun if he was a warrior from the Blade God Six Martial clan, it was certain that the man had seen the remains of masked men from the Blade God Six Martial clan left within the mansion. ‘Blue sash…? Oh!’ Yeowun was able to make an educated guess on who that man was. “…You are from the Blue Sky Brotherhood.” With Yeowun’s words, the man’s eyes grew large with shock. It seemed he was shocked that the who seemed to be from the Blade God Six Martial clan knew the secret Blue Sky Brotherhood organization. [M-master! What do you want us to do! I-I think he’s too powerful!!] That’s when Yeowun heard Bok Hosun, leader of the Yongho Family, sending telepathic messages to the man. Bok Hosun was terrified to see Chun Yeowun flying on an air sword. But the man was also frustrated by what was going on. ‘This man knows about our organization and even has the doctor with him.’ That alone was enough to risk his life to fight Yeowun. But it wasn’t him who made a move first. “I will take the person you kidnapped.” “What?” In the air, Yeowun gestured pulling something with his hand. And with that, Gam Miyan, who had been standing among pirates, floated in the air and was thrown to where Yang Danwa and Bakgi were standing. “N-no!” A few pirates tried to grab her but they were too slow. “Force energy!” All of the pirates were martial artists so they all knew what that was. After seeing the use of force energy, they now realized Chun Yeowun wasn’t someone they could fight against. ‘No way! We lost the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter!’ The man didn’t expect to lose Gam Miyan with such action. Bakgi quickly kicked Gam Miyan’s wrist to make her drop the dagger and sealed her bloodpoints so that she couldn’t move. She tried to say something but her bloodpoints sealed her from talking. “NNNGH!” “Be still, Miss Gam.” She couldn’t resist as she couldn’t move anyway. And with that, Yeowun jumped down from his sword. The Sky Demon Sword immediately came apart in pieces and gathered back onto Yeowun’s wrist. This movement was done quickly to make sure no one noticed the sword with the words ‘Sky Demon Sword’ written on it. “Bakgi, protect her.” Chapter 305 - Disaster above a ship (4) Chapter 305: Disaster above a ship (4) “Yes, master.” Yeowun then walked forward. He pulled out the White Dragon Blade from his waist and swung it across the floor. The blade qi coming from the pure white blade made a large cut on the wooden floor of the ship. Pirates became confused and Yeowun warned them. “I will kill whoever crosses this line.” Nobody could even dare to speak up at such a terrifying voice. Chun Yeowun’s presence was that terrifying that the pirates’ huge number made no use. It felt like they would all die if they even tried to cross that line. ‘Ugh… how can such a monster come out like this!’ Bok Hosun became grim at such pressure. The clear difference in power even made him terrified. That’s when the man sent him a telepathic message. [Captain Bok… is the baby inside the room?] [Oh! You want to use that baby? There’s a problem. I know you told me to, but my First Mate asked me to hide the baby in my room so I hid it there.] The man then rather became relieved at Bok Hosun’s answer. He was from the Forces of Justice, so he actually didn’t like the idea of using the baby as a threat even if that was why he asked. [Ugh. I should’ve taken the baby with me if I knew this would happen.] [They wouldn’t know, so it doesn’t matter.] [Oh! You are right. They don’t know where the baby is!] [Stay still.] The man then walked up and shouted at Chun Yeowun. “I know you are a powerful man, but are you sure you can take that woman out safely from this ship?” He threatened Yeowun that he would go for the woman instead of Yeowun. The man already guessed why Yeowun and his group were trying to take Gam Miyan with them. Gam Miyan was a must-have to make the Godly Doctor work for whoever’s plan as that was the doctor’s only weakness. ‘I won’t let you go with the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter!’ That wasn’t allowed. The Godly Doctor was the one who knew the grand project that the Blue Sky Brotherhood had been working on. If she decided to help them instead, it was going to be problematic. ‘If they can’t rescue Gam Miyan, the doctor will see no point in helping them.’ The man knew what kind of person the Godly Doctor was. But he didn’t know the other person. Yeowun didn’t budge at the threat and spoke. “Come fight if you think you can stop me,” Yeowun shouted as he aimed his blade at the man. It was just a simple action of aiming the sword, but the powerful energy proved that Yeowun wasn’t joking. ‘Ugh… he is as arrogant as he is powerful. I have no choice.’ The man then decided to resort to the final choice. He glanced at Bok Hosun and Bok Hosun shouted. “Hmph! We have her husband and baby! Do you think she will help you?” “Baby?” Yang Danwa and Bakgi became surprised and turned to Gam Miyan. She couldn’t say anything as her blood point was sealed, but her eyes became reddened with tears falling from it. ‘So, it was because of a baby.’ They did think her action was inexplicable. Whether it was forced or voluntary, she had a baby with the First Mate of the Yongho Family, and had to help the pirates for her baby who had now become another hostage. Bok Hosun shouted threateningly so that Gam Miyan could hear. “If I give the order, the baby inside the room is as good as dead! If you even put your finger on my crew, or if Lady Gam leaves this ship, I will kill that baby! Do you hear?!” Gam Miyan began to shake with fear. Tears kept falling from her eyes, showing how much emotional pain she was in. “Y-you bastards! You now even take the baby as a hostage?!” Hu Bong glared at the man with a frown. He knew people from the Forces of Evil didn’t care what it took in order to achieve their goal, but he didn’t imagine that would include having a baby as a hostage. ‘I feel sorry for her, but we have no choice.’ They too had no intention of giving up the chance to persuade the Godly Doctor. This had to be stopped. With Yang Danwa, Bakgi and Hu Bong all frustrated on what to do, the man confirmed that his threat worked. ‘It worked!’ “Give us the woman, and we will let you return safely.” The man suggested his side of the offer. The baby wasn’t on the ship so their threat was hollow, and if they tried to threaten further to give up the Godly Doctor, it was likely to backfire so the man tried to seal the deal here. But Yeowun did not act according to his prediction. “What if I say no?” Bok Hosun and the man became grim. They didn’t think Yeowun would say no even if threatened with the life of a baby. “NNNNNNGH!!!” Gam Miyan also became so shocked that she stopped crying and glared at Yeowun with her eyes wide from shock. The man frantically sent a telepathic message to Yeowun. [HAH! You are bluffing. Your choice will kill the Godly Doctor greatgrandson. Do you think the doctor will help you even if that happens?] But Yeowun did not respond to the telepathic message and spoke. “Kill the baby.” “W-what?!” The man became shocked. “D-do you know what you are talking about?!” “Of course, I do.” At that moment, Yeowun threw the White Dragon Blade toward the crowds of pirates. The blade then shot through the six pirates, penetrating through them and killing them instantly. With Yeowun reaching out, the blade flew back to Yeowun’s hand. Bok Hosun shouted furiously. “Y-YOU!! What are you doing! Do you really want the baby to be killed?!” Yeowun then answered casually. “I thought you’d kill the baby if I laid my hand on your crew? Are you not the leader here? Was your threat just a bluff?” “Nnnngh! Y-you want to do this the hard way?!” Bok Hosun knew that he had to keep his stance so that his threat wasn’t bluffing. He had to make it sound as if he really was up to the threat. “When my hand drops to the ground, kill the baby!” “Y-yes, Captain!” Pirates answered to Bok Hosun to play along as Bok Hosun raised his hand in the air. “This is final warning! If you don’t hand over Lady Gam…” But before Bok Hosun could finish his words, Yeowun’s body became blurry, and a trace of him appeared from behind and then reappeared in front of Bok Hosun. “W-what?!” Bok Hosun became shocked and tried to back away immediately, but Yeowun’s White Dragon Blade was faster. The blade shot upward like lightning. Bok Hosun’s left arm that was raised in the air was cut down and dropped to the ground. Bok Hosun grabbed his shoulder and fell to the ground, screaming in pain. “Aaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! M-my arm! My arm!!!!” He was the Captain and the leader of the Yongho Family, an admired super master level warrior, but he was nothing against the supreme master level warrior, Chun Yeowun. “C-captain!!” The pirates became shocked and Yeowun smirked to them as he said, “What are you doing? Your captain’s arm dropped. Weren’t you ordered to kill the baby? GO ahead.” “Hiiiiek!” It was impossible to kill a baby that wasn’t on the ship. With all the pirates too terrified to even speak, Yeowun shook his head and stomped down on Bok Hosun who was rolling on the ground from pain. “Aaaaaaaargh!” “Do you think you can fool me with your bluffing?” Bok Hosun finally realized with a pale face that he had chosen the wrong person to mess with. Chapter 306 - Disaster above a ship (5) Chapter 306: Disaster above a ship (5) “Yes! Master did it again!!” Hu Bong shouted with excitement. Chun Yeowun never fell in trouble against any enemy since the beginning, but Hu Bong thought that it was truly concerning this time. Nobody would have imagined that the enemy would threaten them with a baby. But Yang Danwa was actually fearful of Yeowun. ‘Was he certain that they were lying? The Lord sometimes makes me think that he is listening to other people’s telepathic messages or can read others’ minds.’ Every enemy who fought against Yeowun became shocked, as Yeowun found out their plans as if he knew it ahead of time. But that was impossible, so it was only explainable through boldness and excellent decision-making skills. ‘I see how he managed to defeat the six clans.’ It was only possible because it was Chun Yeowun. Yang Danwa then glanced behind to look at Gam Miyan, the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter. “Nnngh…” She became relieved when she heard that it was a fake threat, and slumped down. Yang Danwa narrowed his eyes. ‘That woman is the problem.’ Whatever the case, the baby wasn’t here so it was likely that they had to return to the Yongho Family’s village to find the baby. She set them up to trap her own baby. It was understandable, but if they did not rescue the baby, then it was likely for her to repeat her actions. That’s when Yang Danwa heard Chun Yeowun’s telepathic message. [Elder Yang.] [Yes, my lord.] The man became grim. Yeowun said that he knew that they were bluffing on the baby. They didn’t know how he found out, but he knew that baby wasn’t on the ship. ‘Did he find out by using his senses?’ It was curious, but what was certain was that they were no match against that monster. ‘We have no choice.’ The man then decided he had to take the chance when the man was only focusing on Bok Hosun. This was the only chance to kill the supreme master level warrior without much loss. [Homeng!] [Yes, Master!] The man sent a telepathic message to one of the warriors hidden behind the pirates. It was a warrior from the Blue Sky Brotherhood who was hiding behind the pirates. [I will buy some time… you swim to the docks to bring the baby here. If something happens while you do that, just kill the baby.] [Kill… the baby?] [If the Godly Doctor works with them, then our Brotherhood’s grand plan will fail.] […Yes, Master.] Homeng became hesitant about killing a baby, but he answered. He then carefully moved toward the rear side of the ship. The water was too rapid so it would be hard to swim up, but if he reached the land, it was a short distance down to the village. ‘Let’s see what you do if our threat becomes a reality.’ He felt sorry for Bok Hosun who was pinned down by Yeowun, but there was no way to rescue him. They needed to buy as much time as possible as it would take at least 20 minutes for Homeng to return with the baby. “Nnngh… P-please!” Bok Hosun felt like he would die. He couldn’t push Yeowun away even with all of his power. Yeowun’s power was enormous, but so was his physical strength coming out from his strengthened muscles. Bok Hosun became terrified from fear of death and showed signs of surrdender. “I-I will let you go… I mean, I will give you the baby! Please let me live!” His crew was watching at him, but it was no time to keep his pride. But Yeowun wasn’t looking at him anymore. It seemed like he was deep in thought. “H…hey?” “Oh, I’m sorry. I had to listen to something.” “I just said I will surrender! Please let me live!” Yeowun then looked down at Bok Hosun and spoke casually. “Well, I don’t think your friend shares your idea.” “W-what are you talking about? What friend are you… wait?!” “At least I know that I don’t need to talk to you anymore.” “W-wait! WAIT!!!!” Yeowun then increased pressure on the foot stepping on Bok Hosun’s chest. With the chest crushing down, with bones cracking up, blood spat out from Bok Hosun’s mouth as he screamed. “Aaaaaaargh!!! Aaaarnrnnnghh….” The scream did not last long as Yeowun’s foot crushed through, and stomped on the heart, killing him instantly. “C-captain!” “H-how dare you!!” A few pirates became enraged by watching their captain dying miserably and charged at Yeowun. “W-what?! Where is he?!” “He’s gone!’ But their weapon shot through Yeowun as Yeowun was no longer there. Yeowun was already near the front side of the ship. ‘What?’ The man became confused. The captain just said he would surrender and also give him the baby. It was a good enough deal for him. But Yeowun just killed the captain without hesitation. ‘Ugh… I need more time!’ It wasn’t long since his warriors jumped down to the river. They probably were swimming through the river, trying hard to walk up to the land. That’s when Yeowun looked at the man and spoke. “You have lot up on your sleeves.” Chapter 307 - Disaster above a ship (6) Chapter 307: 307 Disaster above a ship (6) “What?” Yeowun then raised his arm and swung his arm toward the dead bodies of the pirates. And with that, the six swords that the pirates used floated up into the air. “Hiiiiek!” “S-swords are moving!” “G-get out!” Pirates became terrified and began to move frantically, trying to run away from it. But swords did not come after them. Yeowun got up to the ship’s end and glanced toward the river and shouted to ask the man. “I see that they are swimming!” The man became shocked. He was concerned when Yeowun walked toward the deck, but it was now confirmed that Yeowun knew the man’s warriors were down at the river. ‘H-how did he find out?!’ He ordered silently while Yeowun was handling the Captain. Even if Yeowun had a strong sense to sense people, it was impossible to sense those who snuck out of the ship when there are 300 warriors around. “Do you think I will not get to them if they are swimming in the river? Hmm… I think they are still within my range.” The river moved very fast, so those men in the river were already quite far from the ship. But Yeowun said it was enough. “What are you…” The man then realized what Yeowun was saying. “W-wait…” Yeowun’s hand then reached out toward the river, and six swords immediately shot out like lightning toward the river. “NOOOOOO!!” The man took steps to charge while pulling out his blade. Blue force qi shot up from his blade and he threw bullet force qi toward the swords that shot through the river. It was his last resort to stop the attack, but there was no way that the force qi would catch up to the sword that was thrown ahead. And those warriors of the Blue Sky Brotherhood who were swimming through met their end without suspecting it. “Argh!” “Ugh!” Their bodies were penetrated by swords as they were not ready within. They met unexpected death and were drawn into the river water. But not all was struck down. “D-dammit!” “Dive!” Homeng and another man who heard the screaming dove underwater. The sword that killed five people lost its power to move and drawn into the water as it got too far away from the ship. ‘Ah…!’ The man then became relieved. It seemed that even the supreme master level warrior couldn’t maintain the control of the sword with that far distance. There were only two warriors left, but that was enough for the job. He then shouted. “You cannot stop them! I’m sure you know where they are headed! Do you see that we are not bluffing now?!” The man became confident that he now had the upper hand. He didn’t think that threatening with the life of a baby was a shame anymore. But Yeowun shook his head and turned. “Yang Danwa.” “Yes, Master.” Yang Danwa let go of his blade, and the blade stopped in the air. Yang Danwa then jumped on the blade. With his foot stepping on the blade, Yeowun swung his arm in a long stride, and the blade that had Yang Danwa above flew out of the ship. “W-what?!” Yang Danwa then jumped up from the blade once it got close to the land, and landed on the ground. ‘Yes, I did it!’ Yang Danwa was actually worried since this was his first time, but he brightened up when he succeeded. The man became dumbfounded and watched in disbelief. His two men were still in the river, but Yeowun’s man was already on land. “T-this is impossible!” The man shouted. ‘He used air sword to use as method of transport!’ This was something nobody had thought about. Yeowun could have done this method to send his members up on the ship while ago, but that was too obvious and noticeable, so Yeowun chose to sneak in with the boat. Yeowun then spoke to the man. “Oh, I’m sorry. I think I will take the baby with me also.” The man became furious at sarcasm and shouted, “Dammit! Do you even know where the baby is?! I’m sure you don’t!” “Wasn’t the baby at the captain’s quarter?” “W-what?!” Yeowun spoke casually and the man became dumbfounded. That was the exact location of the baby. ‘T-…this is impossible!’ He didn’t think much at first, but he now realized that something was strange. ‘How can he know what the captain told me through telepathic message?!’ This was only explainable if Yeowun could overhear the telepathic message. An ability beyond understanding gave something more awe to a person. It gave fear. ‘The baby nor the doctor isn’t the problem.’ The man finally realized what danger really was. That monster disguised as young man was not only dangerous in its martial power, but with an ability beyond the wildest imagination. If that man could truly overhear telepathic messages, then this was a terrifying ability. ‘I have to find a way to either kill him here or escape alive to tell this to the others!’ Chapter 308 - Dead man tells no tales (1) Chapter 308: Dead man tells no tales (1) The man quickly analyzed the situation. One superior master level warrior had gone out of the ship to take the baby. This was actually a good sign. ‘That man is a supreme master level warrior but…’ If the man, who was superior master level warrior, fought him along with over 300 pirates, maybe he had a chance. There were more than enough of them here. ‘It’s enough if I can have pirates hold him down.’ He didn’t think about killing his enemy. If the pirates could hold the man down long enough so that he could escape, that would give him time to return and let people know the existence of this monster. And when he thought through his plan, he quickly moved to take action. He sent one of the leaders among the pirates a telepathic message. [Ben! What are you doing!?] [B-but…] [Are you going to stand there and watch? Your captain is dead! We are against strong enemies, but they are only three! We outnumber them by 300 people!] [I know, but we can’t…] It wasn’t only Ben, all pirates were terrified by Chun Yeowun’s monstrous power. The man urged more strongly. [Will you not uphold the oath that your captain made with our Brotherhood?] [I-I know about the oath, but how can we even fight that monster?!] The man became frustrated. He wanted to use pirates to stop him, but he didn’t realize they would be too frightened. Even if they were pirates from the Forces of Evil who did not care about anything, it did not mean they did not know fear the impossible. [It’s just one man! You’re warriors from the 18 River Family and you just…] It was then. Powerful energy came upon him and the man threw his body backward. Blue force qi shoot past him. His head would have been cut off if he didn’t dodge it. “Aargh!” “Ugh!” But with him dodging it, over tens of pirates behind him had their necks and chests cut through. Blood poured out from their bodies, covering the entire ship. “Ugh!” And in a slight second, Chun Yeowun was already standing upon the man. The man spun his body left and brought up his blade to cover and Yeowun struck it down. “Ugh!” He blocked it with the blade, but his body came crashing down on the ship’s wooden floor. The floor was destroyed half way with his body being stuck in there. ‘W-what is this power?’ He expected a powerful blow as the enemy was much stronger than him, but it was hard to even just defend it. He was able to hold onto the blade, but his hand became numb. “You think I will give you time to play tricks?” And with that, the man became shocked. ‘I-I knew it. He can hear telepathic messages.’ The man sent a telepathic message to pirates to make them attack Yeowun, but he did it partially to see if Yeowun could actually hear it. He thought if Yeowun did hear telepathic message, it was likely that he would make a move to stop him. ‘I have to escape.’ The man gave up on pushing the White Dragon Blade away from him. He then focused energy toward his back to utilize the power that Yeowun was using to hold him down. The man’s body penetrated through the ship floor and dropped. His plan was to give up on fighting and escape by dropping below. ‘He won’t chase me while leaving the Godly Doctor’s granddaughter behind with all these pirates.’ As he dropped through below, he twisted to created blade force qi and destroy the floor below. But his body suddenly stopped in the air. Yeowun had used force energy to stop him in the air. ‘Ugh. You are a fool, trying to hold me by force energy.’ Force energy only worked on another man if the man was below superior master level warrior. A superior master level warrior can control their own qi completely, so it was easy for them to block enemy’s energy coming into the body. “HAH!” The man unleashed his energy to free himself from the force energy. But he became shocked from what he saw. In that slight moment while he was in the air, Yeowun was already on the ship’s floor below him. “W-when?! Dammit!” He then quickly used the blade formation while he fell. It was a powerful formation, worthy of a superior master level warrior. His blade formation quickly attacked Yeowun. “This is your mistake for taking lower ground!” He was surprised, but he still had the higher ground. But Yeowun didn’t seem to be worried. “Mistake? We will see about that.” And with that, Yeowun’s White Dragon Blade unleashed powerful blade qi and stormed toward the man. It was one of the Extreme Arts of the Blade God. “W-what?!” ‘How can this be? My power that strikes down should be stronger!’ The man’s blade formation was easily countered by the storming blade formation that shoot up. But the storm didn’t end there. Blade force qi that destroyed the man’s attack quickly stormed around him, trying to rip his body apart. ‘B-blade force qi is surrounding me!’ On top of the ship, pirates were looking toward the hole with a tense look. The sound was sure that they seemed to be fighting. Soon, it turned quiet. “…Is it over?” At moment, the man penetrated through the floor of the deck, and Yeowun’s body stormed up while he swung White Dragon Blade, like a rising dragon. “Aaaaaaaargh!” The man’s body was being slashed by force qi. It didn’t cut him entirely off, but his skin was ripped apart and cut down, making it gruesome. The man even thought it might be better to die. ‘I can’t let you die yet.’ Chapter 309 - Dead man tells no tales (2) Chapter 309: Dead man tells no tales (2) Yeowun quickly withdrew his hand and the storm disappeared, cutting both of the man’s arms below the elbows. “Aaaaaargh!!!!!” The man fell to the deck. His skin was ripped and forearms were cut, so the man kept screaming in pain. Yeowun walked up to him. “Your hat is destroyed but I still can’t recognize your face. Well, it doesn’t matter.” Yeowun placed his hand below the man’s stomach. The man flinched and shouted. “A…aargh. W-what are you doing…!!!” “I am doing this.” “Aaaaaaargh!” Yeowun immediately destroyed the man’s internal energy. With extreme pain coming from all his wounds, the man passed out. Yeowun then sealed his blood points and threw his body with force energy toward Hu Bong and Bakgi. “Hu Bong, make sure he doesn’t die.” “Yes, Master.” Yeowun then turned toward pirates. “It’s your turn now.” Chun Yeowun never left any potential dangers behind, even if the enemy was weak. “Hiiiiek!” The pirates were all terrified by what they just witnessed. “M-monster!” They began running to all sides frantically. “R-run!” “Jump into the water!” They didn’t care if they outnumbered their enemy. They didn’t care the river water was too fast for them to swim. They just had to get away from the monster. But… “Who said you can go?” Yeowun gestured of picking something up by his two hands, and the weapons that the pirates dropped while running away immediately rose up in the air. There were about 60 weapons. Yeowun ordered to Nano. ‘Nano, self-targeting mode.’ Nano’s voice rang through his head. [Activating self-targeting mode on 63 weapons. Locking onto targets…] Yeowun saw tiny red circles appearing over the pirates who were running away in all directions. Over 60 weapons shot up and circled around the ship, aiming outward. The pirates all became shocked to see weapons floating in the air and stopped. They became terrified to see the weapons aimed at them. “L-look at that…” “T-that’s too much!” The pirates were too afraid to even move. They had many experiences as martial artists of Yulin, but they never heard or saw such terrifying skills. Yeowun then flicked his finger. [Initiating the attack.] A total of 63 weapons began to move. This was a spectacular sight of countless weapons moving through air to kill their target. “R-run!!!” “I don’t want to die!” The ship became mess. It was like a battlefield where all pirates trying to run, and some were trying to defend themselves against impending doom. But the result of the battle was a massacre. With weapons stopping them from jumping off the ship, the deck turned into a bloodbath. “Argh!” “Ugh!” Tens of pirates were killed by the weapons moving on their own. The technique easily killed top-level masters even by using rusted swords from Sword Creek, so the effect increased when it was used with normal weapons against weaker enemies. “Y-you devil!” Some of the pirates shouted angrily at Yeowun who was observing them coldly while the massacre took place. He was looking them as if all of this was normal. “I-I have to get away!” All ships were interconnected with chains, so they couldn’t even run. That’s when one of leaders came up with an idea. “Y-yeah! HEY! Destroy the chain!” They already saw the air sword losing control when it became far away. The river flow was quick, so it was going to send them away from the ship faster. ‘I can’t save everyone. Let’s cut the ties and get away while we can!’ Over 30% of all the pirates had died already. It was a matter of time before all of them were wiped out. “Quick!” “Destroy the chains!” Pirates who ran into another ship banged on the chains to breakthrough. But then some of air swords that were massacring the pirates flew up and destroyed the chains for them. “What?” “W-why?” There was no way that Chun Yeowun would let them go. It was hard to understand, but they soon learned why. Some of the air swords then changed direction and penetrated through the bottom of the other ships, making large holes. The ship began to sink. “T-the ship’s sinking!” “Dammit! He was after the ship!” Yeowun was destroying all other ships except the one that he was on. The sinking was slow however, so the pirates who tried to destroy the chain to get away became pale. Their last chance of escaping was gone. “P-pull up the anchor!” “Aye!” They at least hoped that the river torrent would push them away. But the ship was already sinking so it didn’t move as they hoped it would. “I-it’s not working! The ship isn’t…. UGH!” The pirate who tried to move the ship died with a sword penetrating through him. “Daego!!!” The leader pirate who ordered to destroy the chain screamed his name with despair. He then slumped down and glanced over at Yeowun. “T…that man is a devil!” It seemed he was trying to kill everyone above the ship. The screaming heard throughout the ship was like the song Yeowun was making as he moved his arms. “Argh!” “UGH!” And pirates finally realized while they were dying that the worst disaster had hit their ships. Chapter 310 - Dead man tells no tales (3) Chapter 310: Dead man tells no tales (3) “NNNGH!” Gam Miyan, whose blood points were sealed, moaned as she couldn’t scream. Her eyes turned red from tears as she saw hundreds of pirates being massacred. Her movements and voice were sealed, but it didn’t stop the tears dropping from her eyes. Bakgi then silently turned her around, as he thought she was probably too sad to see such a cruel sight, even if these enemies were pirates. But her eyes were actually that of a person who was actually truly sad, as if she was mourning for them. She looked like she wanted to say something. “This will be over soon. We will have your baby here too.” Bakgi spoke, but she glared back at him furiously. “NNGH!” It seemed she wanted to say something. But even with the baby hostage, the woman set traps before so Bakgi thought he had to be safe and ignored her. Hu Bong glanced at her and sent a telepathic message. [You know, I didn’t want to think it this way, but she seems really angry at us as if she doesn’t want to be rescued. Don’t you think?] ‘…’ Bakgi did not respond to Hu Bong’s uncomfortable look. At the same time, Fourth Elder Yang Danwa quickly killed tge pirates on tge watchtower and infiltrated the half dismantled shack. There weren’t much people around as most of warriors were already on the ship. ‘The only ones left are the women and children.’ It seemed like all the warriors who could fight were on the ship, with only a few pirates left behind to stand watch. “UGH!” Yang Danwa went up to another pirate on watch and snapped his neck. He then quietly hid the body in the corner. ‘Nine.’ Yang Danwa silently killed all pirates that were on watch. There was no need to kill them all as their identities were not revealed, but there was no need to leave any potential dangers behind. ‘And the women inside shacks…’ He decided to leave them behind. There was no way those people who hid inside shacks knew what had happened. Even the man with bamboo hat thought Yeowun and his group were from the Blade God Six Martial clan. ‘Is that it?’ Yang Danwa quickly found the captain’s shack. It was one of the largest and most lavishly-decorated shacks so it was noticeable. The large tiger pelt covering it was a dead giveaway. ‘I sense two inside.’ Yang Danwa carefully walked over and heard the sound of breathing, and footsteps walking across the room. He opened the shack and walked in. The middle-aged woman who was gently caressing baby became shocked and tried to scream. “Ky…” Yang Danwa quickly sealed her blood points to make her pass out and snatched the baby before it fell to the ground. The baby tried to cry, so he pressed on the blood point so the baby would fall asleep. Yang Danwa then looked down bitterly at the woman. It was an ordinary woman who had not learned any martial arts, but there was no choice as she shad seen Yang Danwa’s face. He then snapped her neck without hesitation and left the shack. Yang Danwa quickly stepped through and returned to the riverbed near the ships. “Ah!” Yang Danwa became astonished. The fight had yet to start when he left, but there was no sight of the five other ships that were connected to it. Even the large ship that was loading cargo was now sinking beneath the river. ‘He killed everyone in this short amount of time!’ It was possible for Yeowun’s monstrous power. The level of supreme master warrior was enough to be considered one of the top five warriors of Yulin. But the speed was still too fast. ‘Did he use that technique from before?’ Yang Danwa still had the sight lingering on his head, where hundreds of swords had massacred the pirates. It was a technique that no powerful warrior Yang Danwa had ever seen before. It was enough to even make him become afraid. [Elder Yang. This way.] He then heard Hu Bong’s telepathic message and turned toward the direction. Hu Bong was waiving at him around the hill toward the mountain. And as he ran up there, he found Yeowun’s group waiting for him behind bushes. “I did as you ordered.” “Good work.” Yeowun nodded after checking the baby. Yang Danwa then glanced to see Bakgi hanging a man drenched in blood on by the tree. By looking at him with two of forearms missing, it was easy to see who had done it. ‘The Lord did it again.’ It seemed like anyone who came across Chun Yeowun as an enemy would lose an arm or two. Yang Danwa then remembered that more than half of princes had lost their arms in the competition. This gave him chills. ‘Huh?’ He then realized Gam Miyan was a bit strange. She couldn’t move with her blood points sealed, but she was crying and she shook. “Lieutenant Hu, what is up with her?” “I’m not sure. We didn’t set her free as it doesn’t look right, but she’s been like that ever since. She’s looking at us as if we are the bad guys.” “Hmmm?” Yang Danwa became confused. He then thought maybe she was worried because she didn’t see the baby yet, so he took the baby and showed it to her. “We have your baby here.” Gam Miyan’s eyes then turned to relief as she looked at the baby. Yeowun then let them free her to speak. She was unstable up until while ago, but she now had seen the baby so he figured she would be fine. But when they freed Gam Miyan, she began to scream. The noise even woke up the man who passed out. The man slightly opened his eyes to check the situation and realized he was kept alive. ‘What should I do?’ He then pretended to stay passed out by closing his eyes. He couldn’t run away as he was tied by rope anyway. “NNNGH!” Yang Danwa grabbed her mouth. He thought about putting seal back so she’d be silent, but he then became curious and asked, “What are you doing?” She then glared back at Yang Danwa as if she wanted to say something. “If you scream again, I will make you silent again.” Her eyes rolled up and down, nodding. Yang Danwa then let go of her mouth and Gam Miyan spoke with rage. “Hah… hah… you just let my husband drown underwater. Do you think I will be grateful for that?” “Your… husband?” Yang Danwa, Bakgi and Hu Bong all frowned at that. They couldn’t understand what she was saying. Yang Danwa then asked her. “Are you talking about that First Mate?” “Yes! You all heard that he was my husband and you just let him die anyway!” Surprisingly, Gam Miyan thought the dead First Mate was actually her husband. Bakgi then became dumbfounded about Gam Miyan’s tears back on the ship. ‘So, she cried because she really was sad for them?’ He thought she cried only because she was afraid to see such a cruel sight. The reason why she passed out when the ship sank was because her husband, the First Mate, sank along with the ship. She then glared at Yeowun and spoke. “And our warriors… how could you kill them in such cruel ways?! Just because you have powers, you can’t kill people like if they are animals! You devil!” “Devil…”
