"Keuk..."

Baihe couldn't hold back his laughter at the Central Plains man's audacity.

Isn't it funny? And isn't that confidence truly amazing?

But it was an unacceptable confidence.

"Then, where... try to take it."

"I'm going to try."

Cheonyeong grins and tilts his head left and right, loosening his body at Baihe's voice, which had become as cold as ice.

"Uta."

"Yes!"

At the low call, the giant Uta raises his iron mace and shouts.

It was the language of Yunnan.

As expected, he couldn't understand it, but its meaning was conveyed as clearly as before.

"Waaah!"

The warriors of the Black Scorpion Clan who had been surrounding them, gripping their weapons, rushed in like a swarm of bees.

The language of the body is truly universal.

Cheonyeong still had a relaxed expression, and Yongcheon and Sanghui, who had recovered to some extent, had resolute expressions as if they were prepared to die.

"This son of a bitch!"

However, Baekta was not like that.

Although he had expected it to some extent, he never thought they would actually fight.

It was a loss in many ways.

But wasn't the water already spilled?

If he had to fight, he had to do his best. Even if it meant fully revealing the martial arts of the Beggars' Sect!

Baekta clenches his fists and hurries to prepare to face the enemy.

But.

"It's not your turn."

"What?"

"This is as far as you interfere. From now on, it's the Tang family's fight. I'll ask for help then if I need it."

"What did you say?"

Baekta looks at the Black Scorpion Clan warriors swarming in from all directions at the absurd words.

"...Don't you see them? Do you know how many there are?"

"I know, I see them well."

Even at Baekta's urgent voice, Cheonyeong was only relaxed.

And he even crossed his arms?

"Hey, Myeongseon."

"Why!"

"You, do you know what the best weapon is in a one-versus-many fight?"

"What? What kind of nonsense is that!?"

Such leisure while enemies are rushing in from all directions.

And what weapon? Is that important now?

"Hidden weapons."

"...Huh?"

"Hidden weapons."

"...!"

For a moment, Baekta's mind goes blank.

Hidden weapons?

The kind that one person can throw hundreds of, the only kind in this martial world that the Tang Family's estate proudly proclaims as its main weapon...

"Ah! Hidden weapons!"

In Baekta's wide-open eyes, he saw the hidden weapons in Cheonyeong's hand.

In such a chaotic battle, there was no need to be precise.

Since there were so many enemies that it would be impossible to miss even if he threw them randomly.

But is it possible?

Yongcheon and Sanghui had already had all their belongings taken away.

In other words, the only person who could use hidden weapons against over a hundred enemies was Cheonyeong.

...He can't win.

Although Baekta acknowledged that Cheonyeong was outstanding, he would not be able to defeat all these enemies.

But what if he helped?

What if the injured Yongcheon and Sanghui used all their strength?

"Tch! I see. Reduce the enemy with hidden weapons! I'll take care of the rest."

Baekta hurries to prepare to face the enemy, his fighting spirit burning.

But.

"Is it because you eat so many dogs?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, what kind of nonsense are you talking?"

"..."

"Move."

Baekta becomes dumbfounded at Cheonyeong's words.

Does he talk nonsense because he eats dogs?

Then if he eats beef, does he go 'moo', and if he eats pork, does he go 'oink'... that's not important!

Move?! Now?

When dozens of blades from the Black Scorpion Clan warriors are about to fly in?

As Baekta hesitates, Cheonyeong shakes his head, sighs, and then.

"I said move, you're not listening. Then just dodge well on your own."

"...What?"

Dodge? What?

At that moment when Baekta's face was full of puzzlement, the corners of Cheonyeong's mouth rise as if they would tear to his cheekbones.

"Danya!"

"Yes! Family Head, I've been waiting!"

The moment Cheonyeong's order fell, Danya steps forward in front of them.

What... are you waiting for?

And what's that in your hand?

It didn't take long for Baekta's question to be answered.

Danya, holding a cylindrical object in his hand, aims it at the enemies.

Bok!

A light sound of pulling the string attached to its end.

And then.

Kwa-a-a-a-a!

The small cylinder shatters, and an enormous amount of pellets are shot out in a fan shape.

"Keu-ak!"

"Block... ugh!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

A mixture of shouts and screams erupts from among the Black Scorpion Clan warriors who were rushing in from the front.

They couldn't block it or dodge it.

The warriors of the Black Scorpion Clan were too close to the cylinder, and the number of pellets shot out was enormous.

As the warriors at the front fell with screams and the front suddenly became empty, the warriors who were following were surprised and bewildered.

And in the gap of that hesitation, Danya quickly rushes in.

"Here I go again! You punks! This is the Torrential Rain Needle! Keu-hat-hat-hat!"

Danya begins to detonate the weapons he had in his pocket, circling around Cheonyeong in a small circle.

Peo-peo-peo-peo-peok!

Kwa-a-a-a-a!

Their encirclement began to collapse in order, starting from the place closest to Cheonyeong.

"A-amazing..."

Baekta, his eyes wide, mutters without realizing it.

That's... a hidden weapon?

Baekta couldn't even think of unclenching his fists and just stared at Danya.

The new family member that Cheonyeong had brought.

He had never thought that he would have a weapon of such power.

He got goosebumps.

In that short time, the number of fallen seemed to be well over thirty percent of the enemy's strength at a glance.

Occasionally, there were punks who broke through the hidden weapons that Danya had detonated.

Ping!

"Keu-ak!"

Bba-ga-gak!

Peok!

They just collapsed powerlessly at Cheonyeong's flying needles and hands and feet.

Hope springs up in Baekta's expression, where worry had been.

Although more than half of the enemies still remained, they were hesitating, surprised by the weapon they had never seen before.

As the encirclement loosened, countless gaps became visible.

At this rate, they could escape.

"Cheonyeong! Now's the time!"

"..."

"What are you doing! Now that the encirclement has weakened is the perfect opportunity! I'll guide the way!"

Although Baekta shouted with a hopeful voice, Cheonyeong didn't budge.

"Cheonyeong!"

"..."

"Cheon...yeong?"

"Keu-heu-heu-heu."

"...?"

Cheonyeong was laughing.

He was standing there, as if admiring the scenery that Danya had created, laughing with a strange expression.

"H-hey. We have to go..."

"Keu-hat-hat-hat!"

Baekta flinches and steps back at the sudden burst of mad laughter.

How could Baekta understand his feelings?

He was proud. His heart was full.

Look. This is the power of the strange object that Danya has created.

He, the great blacksmith of the Tang Family's estate!

He is doing alone what would be difficult for dozens of warriors.

What if he continues to create new weapons and fill the warehouse of the Tang family in the future?

The Tang family will become strong.

To an extent that no one could have imagined!

"Yongcheon! Sanghui!"

"Yes!"

They were just as surprised by the power shown by Danya's weapon.

Their pupils were even trembling minutely at the terrifying nature of the strange object.

"How about it, doesn't it seem like a decent force?"

"Pardon? Yes! It's really amazing! It's not just decent!"

"He is the great blacksmith of our Tang Family's estate."

"Great... blacksmith?"

"But what are you guys doing?"

"Pardon?"

"Are you going to be outdone by him, who has just become a family member?"

"...?"

"I didn't raise you to be that weak."

"...!"

"Repay the humiliation you received... to the enemies. I'll take responsibility for the rest as always."

"Yes!"

With Cheonyeong's words, Yongcheon clenches his fists, and Sanghui grabs two swords that had fallen nearby and rushes towards the enemies.

"Ha-ap!"

Jjeo-eo-eong!

As expected of Yongcheon.

Samyang True Qi is contained in his fist, which is as big as a cauldron lid, and it erupts with great strength.

Kwa-deuk! Kwang! Kwa-kwang!

The enemies are slammed into the ground by his fist. They are struck and fly back, collapsing.

"You sons of bitches... I'll flay you all!"

A thick poisonous qi overflows in Sanghui's eyes, and her sword extends like a flash of lightning with the poisonous qi.

Every time the thin trajectory cuts through the space, blood splatters.

"Die!"

With a sharp voice, the blade becomes even faster, and before long, the enemies who were rushing around her are cut into pieces and fall.

Whoever named her, named her well.

Twin Flash Asura.

Yongcheon, who was rampaging among the enemies, was a hero of great strength, and Sanghui was like a Yaksha who controlled demons.

"Heh."

Baekta could only stare blankly at the scene.

The Tang Family's estate... is really amazing.

With just four people.

And Cheonyeong is just standing there with his arms crossed.

The enemies in front of the Tang Family's estate were no different from autumn leaves in the wind.

Although the young chief and his elite guards still remained, he even thought that they would be no match for the Tang Family's estate.

"Ah, Myeongseon."

"Huh?"

"Did you have something to say earlier?"

Baekta, who had been thinking for a moment at Cheonyeong's playful question, shakes his head and laughs.

Escape?

That's enough now. What escape in this situation?

We're about to win.

"What were you going to say?"

"...Let's do our best."

"Huh?"

"Let's do our best and properly teach the Black Scorpion Clan the law of the Tang Family's estate!"

"Keuk, you're bland."

Cheonyeong smirks and takes a step at the sight of Baekta clenching his fists.

"I was going to do that even if you didn't say so. Because I'm the type to always collect my debts!"

Baekta takes a deep breath and changes his gaze at the back of Cheonyeong, who is walking into the fierce battlefield.

I can't just stand still either!

When my blood is boiling like this!

"Ha-ap!"

Baekta lets out a powerful shout, gathers his strength, and rushes among the enemies.

Bba-deu-deu-deuk!

"Th-these damn punks!"

As the situation worsened, Baihe's face was turning into a demon.

What is this?

Aren't the warriors of the branch, who are over a hundred, being annihilated by a mere five punks?

"Uta."

"Yes."

Baihe's chief guard, Uta, also had a bewildered expression.

It was a face that had never imagined that the warriors of the Central Plains would be this strong.

"What are you doing?"

"Pardon?"

"Are you going to be defeated like this?"

"...!"

"How long are you going to watch those Central Plains punks run wild!"

Uta snaps to his senses at Baihe's rage.

It's not just a branch. It's the place where the young chief is staying.

What if they give the victory to the Central Plains men like this?

The prestige of the Black Scorpion Clan would fall to the ground and more.

"I permit the use of the Scorpion Poison."

"...!"

Uta nods his head with wide-open eyes at Baihe's order and rushes to the front line.

"Heung! Just one more punk rushing in, what's going to change... huh?"

Cheonyeong, who had been sneering at Uta's participation from a distance, flinches.

The warriors of the Black Scorpion Clan, who were collapsing helplessly at Uta's shout in his tribe's language, retreat like a tide.

Why...

A sense of unease that rose with the question.

Then, Cheonyeong's eyes shot open at the sight of them reforming their ranks.

This is... don't tell me?

"Yongcheon!"

"...?"

"Get out of there, now! Hurry!"

Cheonyeong shouted before the identity of the unease became clear, and Yongcheon, at his command, retreats without delay.

And then.

Pa-ak!

The white powder is scattered in the air, following the hands of the Black Scorpion Clan, who had all reached into their pockets at once.

Poison?!

The Black Scorpion.

As its name suggests, the Black Scorpion Clan clearly used the poison of the black scorpion.

And that poison was... a deadly poison.

Pa-ang!

Cheonyeong throws his body towards Danya and Baekta, who had not been able to react quickly to his command because they had only recently become family members.
