Chapter 636 - Downfall 4 (2/2)

As a result, they managed to discover that a group of men wearing black clothes was carrying out missions for Hwang Bo-kwang.

Accordingly, Hwang Bo-yun followed the men along with Zegal Shin and was able to get a few down.

“Eiik, die!”

The murderer threw his dagger at Hwang Bo-yun and began to try and run away.

It was because he knew that Hwang Bo-yun was a strong person, and he couldn’t win over him.

He would be in trouble if Hwang Bo-yun got hold of him.

“Where should I try this?”

“Ehh! uh!”

Hwang Bo-yun peeled the cap of the bottle and poured the contents into the mouth of the murderer whom he caught up.

“Kuak, kuak… gulp!”

Something shocking happened.

Life was extinguished from the body, while he was groaning and rolling on the ground in pain and died.

“Poison?”

Were they trying to poison and kill all the people in the slums?

But why?

It was when Hwang Bo-yun wasn’t able to find an answer to his curiosity.

The murderer’s body which went pale suddenly got up and rushed towards him.

Kikkkkik!

‘Wh-what?! He turned into Kangshi?’

Shocked, Hwang Bo-yun hurriedly swung his sword and cut off the hands of the Kangshi which were coming for him.

However, the Kangshi didn’t even care and kept moving ahead to bite him.

And thanks to the quick response of Hwang Bo-yun, the Kangshi bit his sword.

Clink! Clink!

‘This is terrible!’

Hwang Bo-yun’s sword was made of steel alloys, it was similar to the armor of the Iron Giants of the northerners.

No matter how strong it was supposed to be, the Kangshi seemed to have enough power to put cracks into the sword!

“Sky wave!”

Hwang Bo-yun, began to gather energy into his left hand and cut down the Kangshi’s neck.

The Kangshi who got separated from its head from the body struggled for a while and fell to the floor.

“Tch, I was in trouble.”

The other day, he received a report from Haomun that something was being spread in the slums which turned people into Kangshi.

There was also a rumor that the Imperial palace too was given something like that, so the Emperor fell ill, which made everyone doubt Jo Won-gyun.

“They are trying out something more dangerous than I imagined. If I don’t stop them…”

If the disease spread, many people would turn into Kangshi and those bitten would spread it around.

Just thinking about it made his body shudder.

Hwang Bo-yun, who recovered from the sudden shock, immediately hurried over to another place.

He stopped the current one, but there was no guarantee that the other wells weren’t touched yet.

“Hwang Bo-yun? Why are you here…”

When he ran over to the other slum which was close to his vicinity, the warriors of Zegal clan were gathered.

As if properly handled, the assassins were on the ground bleeding, and the bottles were in the hands of Zegal Shin.

Pop!

Hwang Bo-yun hurriedly took the bottle and threw it into the bonfire which the residents had lit.

The bottle smashed into the fire and the liquid evaporated.

Zegal Shin, who covered his nose because of the terrible smell, asked.

“Was it some kind of poison?”

“It is a lot more dangerous than what we imagined.”

Hwang Bo-yun gave out the details of what he saw a moment back.

Zegal Shin’s expression changed at once.

“This can’t be! They are planning to turn everyone into Kangshi!”

“Before the day starts, we need to hurry up and figure out a way to take action!”

Hwang Bo-yun and Zegal Shin contacted the subordinates who were in a hurry to protect the wells.

Soon after, a report came in.

They managed to block some wells, however, some wells were already poisoned due to the late arrival.

Accordingly, Hwang Bo-yun instructed that he contaminated wells to be covered up.

Since there was no right way to cleanse off the water, and it was inevitable to block the water for the people.

“Phew, we have it under control for the moment.”

“I don’t know. The underground water sources are connected and there is no guarantee that the poison won’t spread elsewhere.”

“Then what should we do?”

“Once the information comes that the Kangshi has appeared, we must prevent the spread as soon as possible. We need to actively prevent the use of water wells by spreading the information to the people.”

And the rebel army too was approaching the capital, so they had to prepare for it.

Hwang Bo-yun talked about the tactics in detail and Zegal Shin nodded his head.

Forgetting that they had to sleep, they kept on taking walks on the streets of Daeryang till sunrise to prevent anymore problems.
