Chapter 62 (1/2)

As soon as he opened the door and went inside, Byeoktaesan had a frown on his face.

“Why are there so many half-dead people in here?

The first thing that came into Byeoktaesan’s eyes was the one who exploded his latent powers. Even at a glance, he seemed the most dangerous. And among the black-masked people in this place, he was the only one who was completely alive.

Byeoktaesan walked toward him.

The black-masked men rushed towards him.

However, they fell down before even touching Byeoktaesan.

Even if they only went near Byeoktaesan, they lost their strength and collapsed, and they never got back up.

After seeing that scene, the jaws of Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui dropped.

It was surprising to see the guys they have been having a hard time dealing with be dealt with so easily.

Suddenly, Byeoktaesan stood right in front of the guy who exploded his latent powers.

“Ahhhhhhh!”

He screamed and swung his sword towards Byeoktaesan.

It was an incredibly fast and powerful sword attack.

However, Byeoktaesan managed to avoid the sword attack just by tilting his back slightly.

As soon as the tip of the sword passed by, Byeoktaesan bounced forward and moved close to him.

And lightly waving his hand, hit the pit of the stomach.

Tap.

“Ughhhhh!”

Black blood spilled from his mouth.

Byeoktaesan suddenly stepped back. He had no reason to stand there and get the blood on him.

The one who vomited blood staggered and stepped back. Then he rolled his eyes without stopping.

Realizing that he was not the opponent who can deal with Byeoktaesan, he devised how to escape.

But he had no time to continue thinking.

This was because Byeoktaesan closed in on him again.

He didn’t see him moving, but after a blink of an eye, Byeoktaesan was standing in front of him. So how surprised he would have been.

Astonished, he reflexively swung his sword, but Byeoktaesan reached out and pressed his hand holding the sword gently.

The back of Byeoktaesan’s hand passed by the man’s chin, which stopped while trying to swing his sword.

Thud.

Byeoktaesan knelt and lightly stepped on the back of the fallen guy.

Crack.

Now, this guy can’t move anymore.

Byeoktaesan looked around.

Cheon chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui were closely guarded by Homu-ryeon warriors, and they were seen facing black-masked men.

Even if he left them as it is, it seemed that there would be no problem. They were fighting pretty well.

This time, he checked with Cheon Gyeong-wan and Yoo Seo-yeon.

The two poured out a devastating attack.

It was as if they were spitting out something they were holding onto on the inside.

Whenever the two swords moved, the black-masked men fell like autumn leaves.

“Not bad.”

Compared to the first time he saw them, there was a pretty big difference that was as if a child became an adult.

In addition, the breathing of two people was so exquisite that it had a similar effect as if not two people but three or four people were fighting together.

There seemed to be no need to worry about them either.

Byeoktaesan decided to clean up the doctors’ side first.

He approached the black-masked men attacking that side.

As soon as Byeoktaesan approached, they fell without failure.

Having given some breathing room, the Homu-ryeon warriors scattered in all directions and began to drive the black-masked people back.

And there was no need for Cheon chu Shin ui and Il Chim Gui to fight anymore.

Byeoktaesan stood in front of the two and pointed with his chin at the black-masked man who fell on one side. It was the one who exploded his latent powers.

“You can save him right?”

At the words of Byeoktaesan, the mouth of the Il Chim Gui and Cheon chu shin ui twisted up.

“Of course we can, why would you even ask that? If you just tell us to save him, then he will just live my lord.”

The two quickly approached the guy who fell on the floor. And they took off the mask first.

“Look at the wrinkles.”

He looked very old. The voice didn’t sound this old.

The two started the treatment first.

Since he exploded his latent powers, they had to keep his life force veins from tearing. They must also stop the life force from draining.

The treatment was ended in no time as Il Chim Gui and Cheon Chu Shin Ui cared for him at the same time.

“By the way, doesn’t he seem younger than he looks?”

“It is not an exaggeration to say that the age of the body over seventy, but looking at the condition of his teeth and bones, he seems to be less than thirty.”

“He shouldn’t get old so quickly just because he exploded his latent powers?”

He would have looked this way if he kept at it, but Cheon Chu Shin Ui and Il Chim Gui had treated him quickly enough.

That means that the body looked like this even before he exploded his latent powers.

“It’s not like someone drained his life force from him… … .”

“We can wake him up later and ask, so let’s not waste time with that.”

Cheon Chu Shin Ui said so and looked over to Byeoktaesan.

Byeoktaesan was in the midst of wandering around the manor and destroying the black-masked people that were still standing.

Strangely, the black-masked people didn’t think about running away even though the situation turned out like this.

As if they were just fulfilling the orders they had in their memories in advance, they constantly rushed in.

“It’s definitely strange. Oh, what you said earlier, what did that mean?”

“What do you mean?”

“The half-dead part. Do you know something? The same is true of what you said before about the Kang-shi.”

“If you heard that far, you should know everything already. Why do you ask?”

“Does trying to figure it out and hearing from a guy who already knows sound the same to you? Tell me quickly.”

“Literally that. They’re half Kang-shi.”

“They are going to be half Kang-shi? Is that possible?”

“Don’t they have two contradicting energy flowing through their bodies?”

“Right.”

“They infused the energy of the dead to a living person. Then, that energy eats the vitality and expands, and they gradually become a Kang-shi.

“It’s an act that will draw heaven’s anger.”

“Of course, it’s not just infusing it in, it needs a special countermeasure. And it also requires a special poison.”

“Poison?”

“It’s a poison used when injecting the energy of the dead. It’s similar to poison ivy, but it’s a bit tricky to make.”

Il Chim Gui opened his eyes narrowly and looked at Cheon Chu Shin Ui.

“You… Why does sound like you know it very well?”
