Chronicles Of The Martial God’s Return

Episode 456

“Ugh….”

Hong Wenchang is not dead yet.

It was no exaggeration to say that his entire body had become an egg due to the torture, but his persistent vitality was such that it could be said to be like that of a cockroach, and he was still breathing.

He looked at those in front of him with blurred vision.

Several men were sitting in front of Hong Won-chang as if they were guarding him and continuously checking his physical condition.

Perhaps because they wanted to keep the person alive and suffering, they did not forget to at least give him treatment.

In fact, the biggest reason why Hong Won-chang was alive was to inflict pain to the point where he could not die and to provide treatment after the torture was over. Hong Won-chang checked the front with blurry eyes and fidgeted with his hands that were tied behind his back.

The blade that broke when he was being tortured was kept in his sleeve, and it was time to use it.

“You can just kill me quickly. I don’t know why you keep hesitating. Really.”

“That’s right. “How long do I have to stay here?”

The station’s subordinates grumbled and complained.

We caught Hong Won-chang of Honam, who criminals fear the most.

It could have been said that the best option for them was to kill him quickly, bury the body, and then leave, but for some reason, the evil spirit, Kang Ja-jung, did not kill him and instead tortured him repeatedly.

Of course, I knew the reason.

Destroy your appearance.

Until now, he was a strong man who had never been criticized for his appearance, but now the situation has changed.

If they start to turn, there may be a situation where you have to leave this central area, and stronger Murim people may come to claim the bounty.

Therefore, the plan was to find the place where the disfigurement energy came from and sweep it away as quickly as possible, but since Hong Won-chang rarely opened his mouth, it was an awkward situation even for the powerful.

But what can you do about what has already happened?

In times like this, it’s best to hide quickly.

If you just hold your breath and live quietly for a while, evil spirits will be forgotten from everyone’s mind.

In essence, work is remembered brilliantly in people’s minds only at first, and gradually becomes forgotten as time passes.

If you think like that, time itself becomes meaningless.

“Would you rather kill me?”

“Um… that’s a good idea, but… what if I get caught?”

“Ah, just say he died from the shock of torture.”

The two men’s eyes lit up.

It was a serious injury anyway.

No matter how much treatment is given, there is a limit to it, so wouldn’t it be okay if the open wound got infected and died?

“Do you think it would be okay if I strangled you? Anyway, there are marks on his neck…”

The two men looked at Heung Won-chang quietly.

There is a wound on his neck caused by being caught on a rope. This is because he intentionally hung himself with a rope to instill fear that he might die, even though he had no intention of killing him.

If you insist on that place, even if you are a strong person, it will be difficult to notice.

The men facing each other nodded.

He harbored a bitter desire to escape from this place even for a moment.

Eventually, the two men got up from their seats and approached Hong Won-chang.

Jump and jump.

The sight and sound of them gradually narrowing the distance gave Hong Won-chang a feeling of dread.

“Kill!”

The moment when a man approached and tried to strangle Hong Won-chang.

Sigh!

A dagger the size of a little finger pierced his neck.

“Oops!”

The man swallowed a short groan, grabbed his neck, and stepped back.

At the same time, a colleague nearby tried to draw his sword, but it was Hong Won-chang who moved more desperately than anyone else.

It must not be made to make a sound. Since there were dozens of subordinates of the evil spirit here, it was obvious that many people would flock to just one sound.

So he stabbed me in the neck again and covered my mouth with my other hand.

I covered the mouths and noses of the two writhing men with my body weight, so not even a single moan escaped them.

“Ha…ha….”

The only thing that could be heard was Hong Won-chang’s heavy breathing.

Those who had been trembling suddenly became as still as if they were dead. Only then did Hong Won-chang stand up and take the two men’s equipment.

All I had was a dagger and a toothless heavy sword.

It was really difficult to get out of here, but that doesn’t mean I can’t just wait for death.

“This is the first time this bloated body has been of help…”

Hong Won-chang looked around with a bitter smile.

This place looked like a mountain village abandoned by bandits.

In the first place, it was impossible for a wandering demon strongman to build such a mountain house, so it seemed like he had no intention of staying for a long time, whether he killed the bandits and took over or used an empty mountain house.

Also, one of the reasons why this place is thought to have been abandoned is that Hong Won-chang was tied up in the very corner of the mountain village, in a place that cannot be clearly seen by the human eye.

Originally, it would have been placed somewhere like a warehouse or a prison, but the reason it couldn’t be done was because there wasn’t a place where it could be used.

After thinking that far, Heung Won-chang took a deep breath and slowly moved his body.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before an abandoned building, half collapsed and leaving no space for people to rest, completely blocked his view.

Hong Won-chang carefully hid behind it and looked around.

Some people were seen moving as if standing guard.

Even if you count them, there could be dozens of them.

And it was thought that Kang Ja-jung would definitely be staying in the intact building at the farthest distance. The reason is that there are more people on guard than in other places.

‘Where can I go…?’

Hong Won-chang quickly looked away and checked somewhere else. Because it is blocked on all sides by wooden walls, you cannot leave except through the exit.

If that’s the case, you’ll have to find a way to get out.

However, the moment I checked it, I was impressed without even realizing it.

This was because they had to pass through a place where strong people were thought to be present, and there were two or three guards constantly guarding the main gate.

The moment you try to leave, you have no choice but to get caught.

‘What should I do?’

My whole body throbs.

In fact, even moving like this was difficult, but I couldn’t waste too much time trying to escape. In that case, Hong Won-chang’s head turned quickly as he had to move the moment he thought about it.

Then suddenly something caught my eye.

Bonfires can be seen at every corner of the street.

Perhaps because it was a day without any moonlight, the fire was lit unusually strong, and with the strong wind blowing, it seemed like just a little touch would be enough.

Hong Won-chang grabbed a stone lying on the floor in his hand.

‘It has to be done all at once.’ I am confident in throwing stones.

This is because since childhood and even now, I sometimes throw stones and play with Hong Jinrang.

The only problem was the sound, so if you couldn’t knock it over at once, something serious could have happened.

Hong Won-chang kept his eyes on the bonfire.

I watched it swaying back and forth in the strong wind.

It didn’t have a strong frame, so I thought it could be knocked down if the wind blew a little stronger. At that time, a strong gust of wind blew, as if the heavens were helping.

The bonfire, which had been teetering on the edge, moves greatly. It wasn’t to the point of falling over, but it seemed possible if there was just a little momentum.

Hong Won-chang took his stance and threw the stone vigorously.

“It won’t be easy to find him because he’s such a newbie. Even if it is a reverse ghost or not.”

” know.”

“It might take a few days…”

Tang Mun-hye glanced at Dan Woo-hyeon.

We already know that Hong Won-chang has been kidnapped. Dan Woo-hyeon may feel uncomfortable as he has known through information that he has been in a relationship with Honam Danga for a long time.

So I had no choice but to be careful about what I chose and said.

This also applies to the two men who are guarding Tang Mun-hye’s side.

This situation of chasing a ghost and suddenly going to catch a man who may be a ghost felt quite puzzling, but whether you like it or not, catching a ghost is the same as walking on a smooth road.

That’s why the two men also had fire in their eyes.

“It’s today.”

“yes?”

“I’ll catch it today.”

“……?!”

“What…what nonsense!” Everyone clicked their tongues.

I can’t tell if it’s a reverse or not.

However, it seems certain that Hong Won-chang was captured, so from Dan Woo-hyeon’s perspective, it can be said that it is a time of competition.

This is because his life could be in danger.

You can’t say you don’t know those feelings, but it’s impossible to find someone in one day without even knowing where or how they were taken.

“The situation has already reached Haomun. “If you can’t find it… be prepared.”

“yes!?”

Dan Woo-hyeon opened his eyes and looked around.

The Haomen and Tangmun Hye, as well as other members of the Cheondohoe, are watching the situation here from afar.

Danwoo Hyun’s eyes, looking at them, shone a pale blue color.

The person who was particularly surprised was none other than Tang Mun-hye.

These words were spoken by Dan Woo-hyeon, not by anyone else.

The very words to be prepared were nothing short of despair.

The moment I heard it, I got goosebumps all over my body and all kinds of dangerous thoughts raced through my mind.

“Why are you trying to take your anger out on us?”

At that time, Jang Sam-tae came forward and made an impression.

He looks like he doesn’t pay any attention to being told to be prepared. He put his hand on his waist and glared at Dan Woo-hyeon with a dissatisfied expression.

It seems that he is not at all afraid of Dan Woo-hyeon’s sharp eyes as he returns quickly.

“I’m looking for it, but I will look for it! What can I do if I can’t find it? Isn’t it time to sell? “Just like that guy who fell from the tree last time and died.”

Jang Sam-tae nodded in agreement.

Who would have thought that he would fall to his death even if he only slightly touched a tree? A person’s life does not live or die based on what someone does.

If you were to live, you would live; if you were to die, you would die.

Even what time is it now? It’s already late at night.

Since not even the moonlight can be seen, it is difficult to distinguish one inch ahead. In this situation, it is very difficult to find someone and find traces of them, so now is the time to leave it to Hong Won-chang’s luck.

“You seem quite relaxed… I’ve known you for a long time?”

“haha. As I saw and learned many things from the side of Jangju Lee Samtae, I came to think that life simply goes by. Besides, isn’t he someone who will die easily?”

Jang Sam-tae smiled incongruously like a student.

However, his hands were shaking, and I thought it might be a sign of Jang Sam-tae’s anxiety.

But it seems like he has faith.

Haven’t you taken the easy path to the point where you could easily die from something like this? While staying by Dan Woo-hyeon’s side, Hong Won-chang also went through even more difficult times and lived until now.

Because those things exist, you can trust them.

Tang Mun-hye and Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it and laughed inexplicably.

“But I don’t think you’re wrong.”

” yes?”

“Those who live will live and those who will die will die.”

Dan Woo-hyeon stretched out.

I gave him a curious look because he looked like he was warming up. At the same time, the moment he turns his eyes towards the direction he is looking.

“Fire forest fire?”

A roaring fire broke out in the distance.

There wasn’t even a thunderstorm, but a fire started?

When Dan Woo-hyeon looked at it, he started walking slowly.

“No smoke comes out of an open chimney.”
