Chapter 91. Un Hui (1/2)
Chapter 91. Un Hui
Un Hui took off his mask, and threw up a mouthful of blood.
He calmly took a look at the white pieces of his intestines floating in the pool of blood behind him, and slowly sank down to the floor with the wall on his back.
‘I barely managed to shake them off.’
Un Hui closed his eyes as he steadied his breath.
He somehow managed to get out of the mountain building, but he couldn’t return to the church just yet.
He was concerned that the church might collide with the imperial palace.
Because of this, Un Hui did not run straight for the church. Instead, he ran around the property of the Alliance for quite a while, and lost his followers.
As he had to travel twice the distance he would’ve originally have had traveled, he had overcome death encounters several times already.
The experts from the palace were truly strong.
‘About three……’
Un Hui had been quite confident in his speed, but when he thought of the three experts that chased him, he shook his head.
He was both tired and hurt, but thinking of the experts that did not let go even till the end made him feel a chill run down the spine.
‘Let’s wait till day like this.’
Un Hui quieted down slowly.
How much time had passed?
Even after a long while, there were no signs of anyone following him.
That was good.
If someone were to chase him all the way here, he might have not been able to take it anymore.
He could feel the sun rising as he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Un Hui felt the cold air of dawn, and stood up.
‘It’s good that I knew about it beforehand.’
Once Un Hui got trapped in Ju Ho Yu’s formation, he immediately remembered Cho Ryu Hyang’s words.
He remembered the method to destroy the formation that Cho Ryu Hyang had taught him.
-Destroying a formation from the inside with pure power…… that’s actually very hard to do. But if I were to give you a single advice, it would be good to attack at the weakest point in time when the formation forms. The method of doing this is different for different types of formations, but most formations are at their weakest as they form. If you attack with all your power right as the formation forms, then perhaps you would be able to destroy the formation from the inside.
Un Hui trusted those words, and performed his greatest technique from inside the formation.
‘Radiance-killing phantom blade.’
It wasn’t completed yet, but this was the name of the martial arts technique Un Hui had created.
This allowed Un Hui to make use of all his power.
‘But the consequences of doing so is immense…….’
After he uses this technique, his body would be depleted of inner energy and strength for a while.
Un Hui stretched with his trembling body in order to relax his muscles.
His body that had been pushed to the utmost limit let out a painful scream.
Un Hui ignored it.
‘I need to go.’
He had made a promise.
He made a promise with his young master.
A promise to go back safely.
His master would be very worried for him right now.
That’s why he needed to leave as soon as possible.
Un Hui grit his teeth, and moved.
Shushushu-
His inner energy still wasn’t able to flow properly, but Un Hui didn’t stop to rest.
And as he finally arrived at his destination, he could sense someone moving inside.
“…….My lord.”
Bam-!
A person violently opened the door and ran outside.
It was Cho Ryu Hyang, Un Hui’s little master.
“You’re back!”
Un Hui smiled faintly.
Seeing the worry and relief on Cho Ryu Hyang’s face made him feel relieved.
“Yes. Although I was late, Un Hui, your bodyguard, has returned.”
Cho Ryu Hyang didn’t speak for a moment, and instead observed Un Hui’s body for a moment.
The man was covered in blood, and his mask was soaked with blood as well.
His pale face and trembling body showed Cho Ryu Hyang just how much pain Un Hui had gone through.

‘It’s my fault.’
Cho Ryu Hyang balled up his fists tightly.
He could have expected this easily beforehand.
No, he had expected this to happen beforehand.
He should have given Un Hui a way to get out safely.
He had warned Un Hui to be careful, but then Un Hui, a harmonious expert, came back nearly dead.
Cho Ryu Hyang could easily see how much danger the man was in.
‘If something had happened to him…….’
When he thought up to that point, Cho Ryu Hyang shook his head.
He took off his glasses, and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
His eyes were getting read.
He had suddenly thought of his teacher, Jo Gi Chun.
‘I won’t let something like that happen ever again.’
Cho Ryu Hyang slowly walked up to Un Hui, put his hands on the man’s shoulders, and spoke with a bit of a stutter.
“Thank……. Thank you for coming back safely.”
“……..”
Un Hui somehow managed to kneel with his tired body, and opened his mouth.
“The…… the Imperial Palace became involved.”
Cho Ryu Hyang quickly stood up Un Hui, and supported his body.
“I’ll listen to your report later. First, your treatment…….”
Un Hui shook his head, and opened his mouth.
“Your predictions were correct. There was someone behind Gal Mun Hyuk…….. the Imperial Palace. And there was a strong expert with them as well.”
“As expected……..”
Cho Ryu Hyang nodded.
He had expected this already.
But an expert that could reduce Un Hui to such a state……..
He wasn’t able to see just how strong a person like that could be.
Then, Un Hui steadied his breath a bit, then kept talking.
“And there……. there was a person who could use formations like you.”
“…….!”
“He was about thirty. He was in scholarly clothes, and didn’t seem to have learned any martial arts.”
Cho Ryu Hyang made a face of strong disbelief.
“A person who used formations like me?”
“Yes.”
“That’s impossible.”
It was impossible.
The only reason Cho Ryu Hyang could use formations like he did was because he used them using a completely different method compared to other formation experts.
Unless one had Godly Eyes like he did, it was impossible for a normal formation expert to use formations like him.
Un Hui frowned in pain for a moment, then opened his mouth again.
“Once that man threw a small box at me, I became trapped. If it wasn’t for your advice, I would’ve been captured.”
“…….He threw a box, and then you got captured?”
