Thud... thud... thud...
“Ahhhhhhhhh!”
As the cart got very close to see everything clearly, the two guards were utterly speechless at the sight they were seeing.
“What the...”
“...hell is this?”
They could see two people actually pulling the cart. Before it was far enough so they thought they might be seeing things. But now that they were this close, they could tell that two humans were pulling the cart.
‘Ah, no, wait!’
What were these things?
Can they even be called human at this rate?
The way they were desperately running...
Screaming madly, breathing unevenly faster, body shaking to the point they might die, and their tongue hanging out of their mouths while saliva dripping from it...
They looked like nothing but crazy dogs.
“What are they?”
“Right? That’s what I’m also trying to figure out. Are they dogs or something?”
“No, dogs have four legs. But they only have two.”
“Ah, right. I missed out. But why are they pulling the cart like that?”
Thud... thud... thud...
Now they were even closer, and they didn’t seem like they were gonna stop.
“Let’s stop them first. Otherwise these mad dogs might break the doors.”
“Ahhhhhh!”
The guard on the left thrust his palm forward.
“Stop! Stop right there!”
Thud... thud... thud...
“...”
For a moment the guard’s faces went stiff.
No, did they just ignore one of the Murim Alliance Branches guard’s command?
In a moment the guard on the left filled up with fury.
“How dare you still keep coming forward when I already gave you the command to stop?!”
The guard took out his sword in an instant and pointed toward the cart which was not more than 500 paces away from them.
“Stop this instant!”
Thud... thud... thud...
But they didn’t stop.
“...”
“Ahhhhhh!”
It was like they couldn’t hear him at all.
Even the other guard was screaming now pulling out his sword.
“Stop you bastards! Stop! Do you...”
But the cart didn’t stop and it was about to crush them in a few seconds.
“Ah f*ck! Who cares about a gate?! At this rate we will be crushed with the door if we don’t move!”
The two guards immediately jump to the left and right to avoid clashing with the cart, hitting the ground with a thud.
“Ahhhh! Which bastards dare to...!”
But as they looked toward the entrance of the gate, the cart had already stopped.
The two guards immediately stood up as they approached the cart, fixing their posture hurriedly. Then they pointed their sword at the two mad dogs standing in front of the cart.
“How dare you invade a branch of the Murim Alliance! State your name and clan or...”
Thud! Thud!
But before the guard could finish speaking, the two mad dogs...
No, the two thugs collapsed on the ground, breathing unevenly.
“Huff! Huff!”
“...”
“W-Water... P-Please... S-Some... W-Water...”
The two guards looked at them, slightly narrowing their eyes.
‘Are they really dogs?’
At that moment a figure jumped down from the cart and scratched his neck.
“Hooooh! At last we arrived. So...”
Wolryung looked down toward the thugs.
“W-Water... P-Please... W-Water...”
“Tch!”
He clicked his tongue as annoyance took over his face.
“Horses these days have no stamina at all. What type of horse crawls on the ground this pathetically after running for some hours only?”
“...”
The two guards looked at Wolryung with confused faces.
‘What is that young man talking about?’
Then two figures also jumped down from the cart. While the old man approached Wolryung.
“Don’t say things like that, brat! They are humans not horses. And to think they ran for that long like some dogs even with their dantians broken, it’s still a surprise that they are alive.”
“Tch!”
Clicking his tongue again Wolryung looked toward the two guards who were not sure exactly what was happening here.
“Oh!”
Wolryung’s face lit up in an instant upon seeing the guards, immediately approaching the two guards in a flash.
“Hello, sirs! Nice to meet you! Is this the Murim Alliance branch?!”
“Y-Yes.”
“I see. Good, good. Then do you recognize their faces?”
“Hm...”
The two guards looked toward the two thugs where Wolryung pointed to, then again looked at Wolryung with a blank face.
“We don’t think so...”
“...”
Wolryung’s face hardened at that.
“Please, sirs! Look carefully. I know you’d recognize them.”
Likewise, they looked at the thugs again.
“...”
Well, it was understandable that they couldn’t recognize those faces. After all, their faces were swollen to the point that...
“I think even their parents won’t recognize them.”
“...”
Hearing that Ma Cheon Jo burst out in laughter.
“Hahahahahah! Brat... That’s what you get after doing something bad. Someone as evil as you deserves this. Hahahahah!”
“...”
As Wolryung seemed pissed off by Cheon Jo’s words, he looked at the thugs with eyes filled with killing intent.
“Hey...”
A cold voice came out from his mouth.
“Are you gonna be like that and get beat up again or will you tell your names to these guards?”
“A-Ah, sorry, sir.”
The two thugs tried to stand up slowly, but their bodies seemed unable to support them. Despite that, they stood up somehow while still shaking. Then they looked at the guards.
“M-My name is Hin Po.”
“A-And my name is Tin Po.”
“Hm...”
The guards made a thoughtful face at that.
“What weird names you have. But I don’t think we ever heard your names though...”
“Wait!”
Suddenly a realization hit the guards.
“W-What did you say your names were? Po?”
“Y-Yes, sirs.”
“Y-You two are Po brothers?! You two?!”
“Y-Yes... but why do...”
“You bastards!”
“...”
As the guards shouted out in fury Wolryung and the others’ faces went stiff.
‘Right.’
Though there wasn’t much information about these bastards in the novel. But it was mentioned that they were quite popular in Jianghu.
Back then he didn’t know why the author of the Sword of The Dark Heaven showed these two thugs as some popular characters. They just died in the very first Chapter of the novel at Jin Ho’s hand. And after that they were never mentioned in the novel again.
Well, that wasn’t his problem though. If anything it was only good for him.
As he could see the furious faces of the guards, an evil grin was taking place on Wolryung’s face.
‘Kekekeke! Money! Hehehehe’
The others felt a bit uncomfortable seeing Wolryung’s face.
‘There he goes again. What is this bastard scheming now?’
On the other hand,
“You bastards! How dare you show yourself here! Now, you’ll live the rest of your life in jail!”
“Ah, sirs...”
As a soft and kind voice came from the side, the two guards looked toward the voice.
“...”
“Yes?”
It was Wolryung, with an innocent, bright smile on his face.
“You see. We caught the two of them.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yep. So... I was curious... you know?”
“Hmm... curious about what?”
“Ah, you know the thing called. What was it again...?”
Wolryung started thinking for a second then his face lit up again.
“Right! Bounty! How much bounty will we get for capturing them?”
“...”
All of them were speechless at that.
‘So, that’s why he didn’t want to kill them, huh?’
“Oh, right. The bounty.”
“Ahem.”
The guards cleared their throat.
“First, we would like to ask some questions.”
“Hmm... questions? What type of...”
It was then...
Hinnnnnnng!
Wolryung’s ears suddenly started ringing.
Hinnnnnnnnnnng!
“Urgh...”
“Y-Young master!”
“Hey brat!”
“Brother!”
“What happened?! Are you alright?!”
Hinnnnnnng!
Wolryung grabbed his hair tightly as an unbearable pain surged through his head, collapsing to the ground slowly.
“Uhhhhhh! No...”
He was screaming in pain but no sound came from mouth.
Hinnnnnnng!
His head was feeling dizzy and slowly darkness kept covering his eyes.
‘Ah, no! Why is this happening now? Am I gonna die again?’
