The moment the old man stepped forward, the air inside the guest house changed.
The already tense air heated up even more as if it was about to burst.
A vigilant look appeared in Hwangbo Chiseung’s eyes.
Just confronting the old man made his nerves as sharp as a knife. His body felt a sense of crisis and responded in turn.
When the old man was still behind Yeo Hwa-young, he didn’t feel any flow of qi from the old man. It was as if the old man didn’t exist.
But the moment he stepped forward, his qi pressed down the warriors of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace with overwhelming pressure.
‘Master!’
Hwangbo Chiseung realized that the old man was a master at a level that could not be easily seen.
He spoke to the old man with respect,
“This junior is Hwangbo Chiseung. May I know this senior’s name?”
“I’m Ak Chusan.”
“Ak… chusan. The Lion Sword?”
Hwangbo Chiseung’s eyes widened without realizing it.
Lion Sword, Ak Chusan.1
He was one of the top masters in Jianghu.
Although the eleven superpowers is represented by Two Factions, Three Clans, Three Packs and Three Manors, it is said that Ak Chusan is a step lower than the Eight Constellation and Three Saints. Still, the majority of Jianghu’s opinion was that the difference is not that big.
The fact that his name was compared mentioned along the likes of the Eight Constellations and the Three Saints was proof that Ak Chusan was great.
The Lion King’s Sword,2 which unfolds with one attack, has earned a reputation as one of the strongest. In terms of power alone, everyone acknowledged that it is one of the top ten techniques in the world.
Hwangbo Chiseung could not hide his nervousness.
“What brings senior here?”
They did not expect Ak Chusan to appear here. As far as they know, he had no contact with the Bamboo Sea clan.
So the old man being with Yeo Hwa-young confused him.
“I have a little connection with this child’s master. I couldn’t refuse her request.”‘
“Then—”
“What are you going to do now? Are you going to keep pressuring this child?”
“Senior, I didn’t mean to pressure her!”
“Everything your master does not feel like pressure to his subordinates. I don’t think you’re unaware of that.”
“Well…”
Hwangbo Chiseung’s face hardened.
Because Ak Chusan’s words had a point.
Hwa Ok-gi stepped forward and said,
“Senior, I am Hwa Ok-gi of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace. This is an issue for me and Lady Yeo to solve, so why don’t you just watch for a little bit?”
“You’re a coward.”
“What?”
“What do you mean you’re going to solve the problem with just the two of you when you’re with your subordinates like this? No way. You don’t think that’s fair, do you?”
“That…”
Hwa Ok-gi’s face turned red.
He couldn’t think of a proper excuse.
He became embarrassed.
That was then.
“How dare you go against our Lord?!”
A man behind Hwangbo Chiseung burst into rage, saying that the person in front of them was a crazy old man.
Unlike Hwangbo Chiseung, he was a warrior who had been serving Hwa Ok-gi for a long time. When he saw his master being criticized by Ak Chusan, his eyes turned and he cursed.
In an instant, Ak Chusan’s eyes widened.
“What did you just say?”
“I said crazy old man.”
Hwa Ok-gi freaked out and tried to stop him.
“No—!”
Shiak!
A terrifying blast rang out faster than his voice.
Bang!
The walls of the guest house exploded.
The man who told Ak Chusan that he was a crazy old man only had his lower body left.
His upper body has completely disappeared.
After witnessing the formidable swordsmanship that was capable of destroying an opponent’s upper body in a single attack, the Heavenly Silver Marketplace’s warriors retreated.
Only then did they realized how terrifying the old man in front of them was.
Everyone stepped back, but Hwangbo Chiseung couldn’t.
Although he sold himself money, he was a very proud warrior. If he steps back in fear of Ak Chusan’s martial arts, no one will hire him anymore.
He was really reluctant to fight a master like Ak Chusan, but as he goes through life, he is bound to encounter moments from which he can not back down.
Now was that moment.
Hwangbo Chiseung blocked the front Hwa Ok-gi and said,
“Get out first.”
“But–”
“It seems that Lord Ak is very angry. I don’t think we can solve this by talking.”
An intense energy was radiating from Ak Chusan’s whole body.
Ak Chusan was never a broad-minded or generous person.
His nickname, Lion Sword, was given to him because his strong martial arts, and not because he was a great person.
He had a fiery temper that could not tolerate even the slightest insult.
“Where do you think you’re going? A subordinate’s mistake is a master’s mistake. Shouldn’t you take responsibility for it?”
Ak Chusan vented his anger at Hwa Ok-gi.
Hwa Ok-gi’s face turned white.
If he takes the energy of a master at the same level as Ak Chusan head-on, it was bound to inflict serious damage to his mind.
Hwangbo Chiseung went in front of Hwa Ok-gi and said,
“Lord Hwa has nothing to do with this. You’ll have to get through me first.”
“You overestimate yourself too much. Do you think you can stand your ground against me just because you’ve gained a little bit of fame in Jianghu?”
“How can a junior have such a thought? I just hope that today’s fight will be limited to a confrontation with this junior.”
“Does that mean you’re going to take full responsibility?”
“That’s right.”
“Your spirit is great. I hope that you have the ability to follow your spirit.”
“I will do my best not to disappoint you.”
Hwangbo Chiseung raised his qi.
Huuung!
A powerful energy rose from his whole body.
Hwangbo Sega has long been famous for his cultivation method.
In particular, the Three Fists of the Heavenly King contained Hwangbo Sega’s essence for hundreds of years.
Hwangbo Chiseung only focused in learning the Three Fists of the Heavenly King. But even after spending most of his time in meditation, he has yet to achieve great success.
This is because the main structure of the Three Fists of the Heavenly King was lost when the family fell.
If Hwangbo Chiseung had a dream, it was to completely restore the Three Fists of the Heavenly King before he dies.
‘I’ll have to survive before that, but now…’
