Absolute Sword Sense-Chapter 152: Cooperate (3)

“Just how?”

Seeing his shocked reaction made me feel so better.

He would have never dreamed that I would be hanging from the string. No, the string was too difficult to notice for anyone.

Baek Hye-hyang said, “That guy is mine, so you can take the rest.”

It was more like a command.

But I decided to not care. Looking at her face it seemed like this idiot did something.

Kang Mui-hyuk drew his sword from the sheath. The guy spoke with a frown on his face.

“Do you think you can get out of here?”

“I think you should worry about your eyes and tongue first.”

Pat!

Baek Hye-hyang flew ahead. She swung her sword straight to cut down his neck.

Kang Mu-hyuk had to hurriedly cut it off.

Chaang!

However, the sword he was holding bounced along with him.

“Huh!”

It was only after being pushed for more than ten steps was he able to stop. Kang Mu-hyuk’s face went stiff.

“What force?”

Blood flowed from the hand he was holding the sword. A monster! This woman was a monster.

“You are using such a cheap sword.”

Looking at the cracked sword, she shook her head and then jumped at him again.

It was just an ordinary sword from the forge, but the blade in her hand didn’t give that feel.

‘Cutting Blood Sword technique.’

This technique aimed for the main blood flowing points of the wielder for better movement.

“Kuak!”

Kang Mu-hyuk immediately clenched the sword to block.

Chachachang!

Sparks flew around each time their swords collided. In the meantime, the warriors around us charged at me. They were ones which were just fine.

‘My turn?’

They seemed to be trying to make a joint effort against me by surrounding me.

The fortunate thing was that due to the qualification fights I had in the other tower, I was pretty fine with this.

‘I cannot waste time here so I need to do my best.’

I held Iron Sword out and moved my body.

‘Rising Dragon Sword.’

A technique within the Xing Ming Sword technique of my teacher.

My body rotated rapidly, creating winds around and slicing in the directions around not caring about the direction. Those who were aiming for four directions at the same time, urgently blocked my sword.

Chachachang!

But they and I were different people.

Using upper dantian, I could overpower them easily. While blocking two or three techniques they were not able to find space to attack back and were thrown away.

‘One!’

I moved to the warriors right ahead. Silver string was used to catch him before he ran.

“This is?”

He was confused and tried to cut down the string but it wouldn’t break.

Wheik!

When I pulled on it, he was dragged close like a fish.

I threw him to the guy on the right side.

“Uh!”

The warriors tried to hold his colleague but the two rolled back.

-Behind!

Short Sword warned.

‘I know.’

I bowed ahead right then and stabbed the left side of the ankle of the warrior who attacked me from behind.

“Ack!”

I kicked him in the chest making him spin in the air before hitting the wall behind.

Kwang!

“Euk!”

It must have hurt. As soon as he fell down, he puked blood.

Just then huge sounds arrived from behind.

I spread open the place and turned to the other side of the direction.

Clash!

“Damn it!”

The warrior trying to hit me on the back was shocked when I noticed him. I swung the guy’s sword in the upward direction.

Chang!

As the sword bounced up, I punched him in the face. The warrior who had been hit in the head, had his teeth shattered and was bleeding before he fell down unconscious.

-You aren’t killing them?

What happened here would not stay hidden.

This was why I couldn’t kill them. In the meantime, the two people on whom I used the silver to hit had rushed back.

If the four couldn’t win together against me, then would these two be able to? I dodged their attacks easily and sealed down their blood points.

“Phew.”

I could feel myself improving. It wasn’t so difficult to deal with four warriors at the same time with just my lower dantian.

Considering the return from my past life, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Unlike me, Baek Hye-hyang who was dealing with a disciple of the Eight Great Warriors, would probably require some time.

“Kuaakkkk- eippp!”

Hearing the screams I turned to see Baek Hye-hyang covering the mouth of Kang Mu-hyuk with a smile on her face. One of his eyeballs was in her hand.

… Oh God!

-Her hands are so cruel.

It was a sight that made the swords scared.

The other guy wasn’t weak enough to be subdued in a short time, so taking out an eyeball with her hands. I thought the fight would be a scary one, but the situation didn’t seem like it.

Seeing Kang Mu-hyuk in pain, Baek Hye-hyang said.

“Shhh! You need to be quiet. We still have another eye and tongue left.”

At her words, Kang Mu-hyuk’s only eye trembled. As if enjoying this, the woman was smiling.

Maybe I need to hold her back.

“Miss?”

Baek Hye-hyang turned to me and I shook my head.

It meant that what she did went beyond the plan, I wanted her to stop right after intimidation.

If left alone, it really felt like she would pull everything out.

She smiled as she said.

“Did you think I would be happy with just this?”

Phew. She was a really tough person to side with. At this, I pointed upwards.

It wasn’t this guy but his teacher who was the scary one in here.

“Think higher.”

Kwakw!

She clenched the eyeball in the hand to the point it was crushed into liquid, and what about the guy?

He looked like he had just seen a ghost.

-He is scared for life.

It was more than that, and I said like a whisper.

“As you see, if I didn’t stop her, both your eyes would have been lost. No, eyes and tongue.”

“What?”

“So you are in my debt.”

At my words he looked at me like I was saying some absurd shit. What I said was the truth, so why was he watching me like that?

Kang Mu-hyuk said in a trembling voice.

“You guys think you can get away safely after doing this?”

‘Hmm.’

Baek Hye-hyang was scary to him, but not much I guess, considering how he just spoke.

“I think you should first think about your situation. It sounds like you are pretty dizzy with the blood loss from the eye.”

The blood flow was sealed but if the blood continued to flow, then it was a danger to his life.

At that, the guy gritted his teeth.

“Are you threatening me?”

“No, I am informing you to save your life.”

“Save? Hah! You made one of my eyes life this, did you think I will step back because of it? if you want to save your lives, you should stop this here.”

“You seem lively.”

At that time, Baek Hye-hyang shook her head.

“I think it would be better to escape with him as hostage instead of convincing others.”

“Hostage? Puahahaha!”

He began to laugh like he was insane.

And said with a straight face, “You people don’t know him. Do you think he would blink an eye for a hostage? By the time you touched me here, you crossed a river you cannot go back”

“Your teacher has quite a reputation but do you think he would abandon you?”

“You people don’t know him. You will never leave this place.”

Was his teacher that cold hearted?

Looking at the reaction, it was like his teacher was one without blood and tears. It was hard for a disciple to say such things.

So I leaned closer toward his eyes–

“You want to live?”

“Is there anyone who wants to die?”

“Then I have one thing to know. Is there a way out of here?”

At those words, he narrowed his only eye.

Actually, the thing we wanted to know was a way out.

Searching for the place where the prison was located, I managed to find where there were other walls, such as the exit to castle towers here. In addition, there should be other ways out of such a place.

But looking around I couldn’t find any opening.

“Looking at your reaction, it is here. So how do we use it?”

“… Did you think I would say it?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to die?”

“Just kill me.”

The guy was coming out hard and it seemed like the subordinates wouldn’t speak too.

Kang Mu-hyuk smiled as he said.

“You people have 2 options. Give up right now, or kill me and die by his hands.”

He was really sticking to his lines. I stared as I stood up.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“You gave up fast.”

“It isn’t like that. If you are not useful then she can have you.”

“What?”

“Miss.”

At my call, Baek Hye-hyang smiled brightly as if she had gained the whole world. Putting aside the beauty, her smile felt creepy.

As she approached the guy began to shout at me in shock.

“L-look here!”

I pretended to not listen.

Baek Hye-hyang approached him and said, “I told you. There is no need to go back. I will make sure to cut out that tongue first and then the fingers and toes too.” Google search free𝓌𝗲𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝒆𝙡. 𝑐𝗼ｍ

‘…?!’

This made the guy think.

Maybe he could take the chance with someone else, but she would do it for sure.

“After cutting off all the fingers and toes, I will cut your ankles up and then slice you down. Hehehe!”

She spoke happily.

Reaching for the nose of Kang Mu-hyuk she put her hand on the remaining eye.

“Those eyes are useless if you cannot see what all I am cutting, so I will dig them out last. Ehh. Do not worry. I will not kill you because you will have to live like that.”

Baek Hye-hyang laughed and grabbed him by the chin and touched his mouth.

This scared him.

“I will tell you! I will tell you, so pull this mad woman off me!”

Baek Hye-hyang’s method was quite effective, she took him down right away.

Puak!

“Kuak!”

She punched him in the face and then licked her lips like she didn’t care.

“I was hoping to see some bones.”

… If there were bones out then he would be dead.

Ghrrrr!

“Ho”

Baek Hye-hyang stroked her chin and exclaimed at the wall opening up and Kang Mu-hyuk, who had opened up this path manipulating the machine, added.

“If you go this way, you can go out. You will not need me anymore, so let me go.”

“Do not speak shit”

How dare he turn his back?

How could we be sure to be safe?

“I told you the passage, so you don’t have to…”

Srng!

The sword stopped right in front of the nose.

“If you mess with me one more time, I will pull that tongue out”

At Baek Hye-hyang’s words, he went silent. And I pulled him with the silver string that I had tied.

Seeing that he was moving ahead with no hesitation, this meant there were no traps.

And as we walked she sent me a question.

[Will our cooperation end if we get out?]

I am taking this advantage to get out. And when I didn’t answer she chuckled.

It seemed like she was up to something.

-Be careful. She will backstab you.

I know.

It was when we were walking, a small space like the previous prison hall appeared.

‘That one?’

On the other side of the place was a passage and in the middle was a prison made of black iron.

Seeing how it was shut, it was like there was someone inside

Baek Hye-hyang asked Kang Mu-hyuk.

“What is that?”

“… Just a prison. Don’t care too much. If you go through that place there, you can go. Will you not leave?’

He was in a hurry to send us out but Baek Hye-hyang stared blankly at the prison.

Flustered Kang Mu-hyuk said, “Why are you trying to open it?”

“Why? Is there any reason not to?”

“T-that…”

When he didn’t answer back, she began to turn the circle handle.

And she opened it lightly.

“NO!”

Despite that, she opened the shut door and used to torch to shed light in.

She frowned.

“Why are you doing it?”

Baek Hye-hyang said at my words.

“Take a look.”

Curious, I approached the prison.

A bony old man was living in the dark prison. Looking at the condition he was barely breathing.

But the face felt familiar.

‘No…’

It was then

Baek Hye-hyang turned around and aimed her direction ahead. And me too.

Someone walked through the dark passage and the person there was, Chun Mu-seong

“Teacher!”

Kang Mu-hyuk called him with a puzzled face but he signaled him to be quiet.

‘No…’

I looked at the old man in the prison and Chun Mu-seong.

The guy smiled creepily in a way that I had never seen before.

“You saw it.”
