Chapter 111. Gu Hui Meets Cho Ryu Hyang. (2/2)

He put down his hands and slowly walked with the rest of the group.

Ch, chiii–

The fingers of his hands began to let out tiny strings of energy that scratched the ground softly.

Gu Hui looked at this carefully, and whenever the strings changed direction, he directed the group towards the way the strings were going.

Cho Ryu Hyang became amazed as he saw this.

‘He found me.’

Cho Ryu Hyang pushed his glasses up as he observed Gu Hui.

It seemed that the other side had noticed his presence.

‘Just how?’

Cho Ryu Hyang was a little surprised to be found out like this.

But what was even more concerning at the moment was the way that this person was trying to get through the formation.

He was trying to use the simplest, but the most reliable method of breaking through formations.

‘Should I make my move?’

If he did, he would just prove to the other side that he was watching.

After thinking, Cho Ryu Hyang made a decision.

It was hard to hide his moves like this anyway.

Plus, the situation might worsen if he let someone like this be.

Therefore, he needed to fight the man now.

Cho Ryu Hyang took one of the stones on the ground, and pulled it up.

Vuun-

The view around him shook for a moment, and he, along with Gu Hui, began to fade from the scene.

‘I can’t let him pass just like that.’

Around the time when Cho Ryu Hyang thought this, Gu Hui had come to a stop in his tracks.

His eyes, along with that of the martial artists, all pointed upwards. Gu Hui had a slight smile on his face.

“How interesting.”

A giant door had appeared in front of them.

If this wasn’t a challenge for them, then what else?

He could feel the other side taunting him to get inside. This made him laugh.

If he didn’t accept a challenge like this, he wouldn’t be a man.

“We’re going in.”

The only way one could catch a tiger was to get into its lair.

Gu Hui opened the door and walked in.

He was greeted by two people inside.

“……Hoh?”

Inside the gate was an empty space filled with mist. Within this mist was a boy in glasses and a man wearing a mask.

‘He is……’

The masked man was a harmonious expert.

A strong one, at that.

Gu Hui smiled.

‘But he is not my match.’

The man wasn’t mature enough yet.

Things might change given time, but right now, the man was weak.

Gu Hui turned to the kid.

It was strange.

This wasn’t a place that anyone could get into, and yet…

‘Could it be?’

Gu Hui opened his mouth.

“Are you the heir of the church?”

Cho Ryu Hyang nodded without saying anything.

As he had thought, the boy was the heir of the church.

Why did the boy reveal himself?

‘No, that’s not important right now.’

The intent of the other side wasn’t important.

The battle was already over, after all.

“I came here to kill you.”

It was an honest, and straightforward situation.

Cho Ryu Hyang didn’t seem intimidated at all by this, however.

He simply responded dryly back to the man.

“You think you can kill me?”

“Of course I do.”

The boy couldn’t run.

Not anymore, now that he was within Gu Hui’s sights.

Whoosh-

Gu Hui’s presence began to get stronger.

At the same time, the mist around him disappeared completely.

Shuaaa-

Un Hui flinched at this time.

‘Dangerous.’

His instincts were going wild.

Right now, this entire area was within Gu Hui’s control.

It would be impossible to ensure the safety of the heir if they continue there.

They needed to run.

But Un Hui was unable to move.

This was because Cho Ryu Hyang had given him a ‘command’ before they came in here.

[Don’t run, no matter what happens. Only run when I tell you to do so.]

Because of this command, Un Hui wasn’t able to do anything.

‘How amusing.’

If he just extended his hand now, the boy would die.

The mission would end that easily.

‘No, the mission wasn’t that easy, huh.’

It was pretty hard to get here, even with this many martial artists.

The battle wasn’t that easy when he took this into account.

Cho Ryu Hyang, who managed to read a bit into Gu Hui’s mind, smirked, and took off his glasses.

‘Does he think I’m already caught or something?’

Does the man not know that he still had plenty of cards on his sleeve?

Cho Ryu Hyang expected something like this to happen, but it was still annoying.

‘I’ll make him realize his mistakes properly.’

After putting his glasses in his sleeves, Cho Ryu Hyang opened his mouth.

“I, too, have no intentions of leaving you alive. But if you apologize right now and promise to leave, I’ll let you go just this once.”

“…What?”

Gu Hui’s eyes began to tremble.

Was this kid serious?

Was he even aware of who he was talking to?

When he stretched out his hand to take away an arm from the boy out of anger, Cho Ryu Hyang spoke.

“You must be Gu Hui, correct?”

“…..You said that even when you knew who I was, boy?”

“…..Eighty-five.”

“What?”

Cho Ryu Hyang drew a line on the sandy floor under him.

Gu Hui observed this and looked back at Cho Ryu Hyang.

“To be honest, I’ve never faced someone this strong. But……”

Cho Ryu Hyang thought of something that was far from being a human and smiled.

“I have faced a monster stronger than you before.”

Right.

He had fought to death with a monster that was worse than Gu Hui in the past.

Gu Hui looked coldly at Cho Ryu Hyang’s smile.

He was absolutely full of killing intent.
