I sat down some distance away from Yeom Hwa and ordered my food and drink.

“Give me some wine and snacks here.”

After Yeom Hwa gave the owner a nod, he went inside to get the food and drink.

The Yeom Hwa I knew was an impatient and cruel person. There were two reasons why he was doing this. Either he wanted to play around with me for a bit before killing me or he felt threatened by me.

Yeom Hwa asked me, “Who are you?”

“Just a wanderer. I came here because I was hungry.”

Yeom Hwa laughed at my response.

“There are other restaurants beside this one. You didn’t have to come here.”

“Then why are you here? Why are you eating and drinking in front of all these people? If it was me

I wouldn’t be able to eat in front of all these people.”

He squinted his eyes. His instincts told him that I wasn’t an ordinary person. So rather than using his fists, he was using his words to gauge at me.

I then laughed and said, “Ha, I understand. Sometimes you want to brag in front of people.”

Then the one of the Divine Sword said, “This punk! Do you want to die?”

Then Yeom Hwa said, “Lets him be, they say even dogs aren’t bothered when they eat.[a]”

Then I said to them, “If you touch me one more time I will kill you.”

“This punk! You really want to do this?”

Yeom Hwa lifted his hand to stop him.

Then I started eating my food, “Delicious, now I know why you want to monopolize this place.”

“What is it that you want?”

“I am just here for the food. No need for you to be too concerned with me.”

Then I looked at Mae Rang and Ho Yeon Sook and said, “I think there are some people who are even braver than I am.”

Then Mae Rang said, “We were dragged here by them.”

Then the third divine sword said, “Shut up you old wretch!”

Although they got a better reputation since they tossed out silver bars today, treating the elderly like this was ruining their reputation faster than they could recover it.

Then I said in the place of the two of them, “She is just a child.”

“What?”

“Just talking to myself.”

The third Divine Sword was about to say something but Yeom Hwa raised his hand again.

“Are you from the Ho Yeon School?”

“I heard about that story as well. Didn’t you say that you would kill all the disciples that were present at the meeting?”

Then the people on the outside started chatting since this was news that wasn’t well known.

Yeom Hwa didn’t hide this fact, rather he said in a louder voice, “ Yes that’s how it is, it's better if I could get rid of them all.”

“Stop yapping!” Mae Rang screamed at Yeom Hwa but Ho Yeon Sook stopped her.

Then I asked Yeom Hwa, “Isn’t this matter concluded already? Then why are you doing such thing? Is it because of your pitiful pride?”

“What?”

“Is your pride so great that you have to mow down those innocent young men?”

“Of course. How can those scarecrows be compared to me.”

I could tell how many innocent people died at his hands so that he could become the Decimator.

Yesterday’s event was an example, he would try to find any excuse to kill you.

These people didn’t know how to control their anger. It was not because they couldn’t but because they didn’t have to do so.

“I think that you are more of a scarecrow than them.”

Then the second Divine Sword grabbed my shoulder, “You punk! Don’t you know where this is? And you rant? You are dead!”

“Didn’t I tell you before? If you touch me one more time you will die?”

I grabbed number two’s hand that was on my shoulder and swept him aside.

He lost his balance and did a flip in the direction that I turned him.

Crash!

He landed on one of the chairs as if it was a circus performance.

“Hahaha.”

The people who were outside started laughing and the sound reached inside.

But then the second Divine Sword didn’t move from where he had fallen.

The third Divine Sword rushed out to check on him and yelled, “He is dead!”

The next moment. My hand raced through the air like a snake and found its mark on the third divine sword’s neck.

It landed square on his adam’s apple.

Crack!

After breaking his neck my hand came back to its original place.

Boom!

The third Divine Sword who had his neck broken fell to the floor on the spot after nodding his head back and forth a couple of times.

The third Divine Sword died in a single shot just like their second brother.

Then the fourth Divine Sword yelled, “You are seeking death!”

He charged at me with his sword drawn.

Shhiinng!

Smack!

He flew out the window and landed outside the restaurant.

“Uahhh!”

Some of the crowd started screaming.

In the forehead of the his corpse was a single chopstick.

Being able to throw it so fast that the fourth Divine Sword didn’t even have the time to dodge was impressive, but what was more impressive was that I was able to stick a chopstick into someone’s forehead.

In the span of a single breath, the fight was already over and the three Divine Swords were now nothing more than corpses.

Then Yeom Hwa rose from his head and broke the table, “You!”

Then I got up from my table and emptied my glass of wine, “Is that fist of yours only used to scare women?”

He got even more fired up after my taunt, “Of course not!”

“Then you won’t use them as hostages when we fight.” Then I stared at the two of them and they quickly left the restaurant.

The crowd started taking a couple of steps back, but no one was leaving since this was going to be a good fight that they didn’t want to miss.

Yeom Hwa clenched his fist.

Wooooo!

Mist started to drift from his body and he expunged all the alcohol from his body. Since he was able to do this he was somewhat of an expert.

Then he asked me, “What is your purpose?”

“My purpose? I probably have a purpose, if not I wouldn’t be doing this in the broad daylight.”

“What is it?”

“Since you will die here you don’t need to be worried about it.”

“You punk!”

His killing intent filled the room.

I became a bit excited since he was someone who used the fist arts.

This was the first time that I would be facing a fist art master with my White Crane Arts.

Woosh!

With a loud noise, his fist came flying towards me. Just because it was a bare fist I couldn’t lower my guard since I could be finished if I got hit directly with it. Seeing how much of an expert Yeom Hwa was, I expected him to be able to break boulders with his punches.

Wooosh! Boom!

Compared to his big build his attacks were very fast. Almost to the point where none of the crowd outside were able to see his movement. It just looked as if big boulders were moving.

Everything that his hands passed by turned into dust.

After dodging his attacks I finally put some of my ki into my fist and I attacked his oncoming fist.

Bang!

My fist collided with his fist.

I took a couple of steps back, and Yeom Hwa also took a couple of steps.

The White Crane Art wasn’t an art where you faced your enemy head on. It borrowed the energy and movement from the enemy to given them an even stronger critical blow.

However, I wanted to face him head on to see how much destructive force it had. An opportunity to fight someone like Yeom Hwa didn’t come very often, so I had to maximize my time.

Bang!

Our fist collided in midair again.

My arm felt a little numb. Since Yeom Hwa focused on external techniques, his foundation was very solid. However that didn’t mean that Yeom Hwa wasn’t feeling any pain either. He was just holding it in.

I was able to fight evenly with Yeom Hwa due to my level of ki being higher than his so I used this opportunity to understand the White Crane Art better.

At first I believed that the White Crane Art was full of counters and hidden attacks, but the more I clashed with Yeom Hwa the more I felt the destructive nature of it.

I could tell that White Crane Art in itself wasn’t a destructive art but the person who created it was destructive. Most likely the creator found a different path later in his life and created a less destructive art, the White Crane Art. However, due to his innate nature of being destructive, there was some part of it which blended in.

‘So that’s how it was!’

Without being at the peak of the martial arts world, I would have never understood this.

After a couple more clashes I put some distance between the two of us.

Yeom Hwa was staring at me. He must have been really surprised since he hadn’t had a real fight like this in a long time. What must have surprised him even more, was how my fist was holding up to his.

In truth, my arms were trembling; thus, I put an end to my experiment.

“So, shall we get started for real?”

Yeom Hwa was surprised at what I said.

He thought I was saying this to throw him off, but the fact of the matter was that I was only experimenting up to this point.

Woosh!

I dodged his fist and closed the distance on him. My movement was sharper and cleaner.

Smack!

I punted his chest with my shoulder. Although I moved fast, the real reason why he didn’t dodge it was because of his big build.

If it was another expert their chest would have broken, but he acted as if he was fine.

“Not a chance!”

He threw two more fists, but I easily dodged and aimed for his armpit on his third attack

Shiing!

His attack barely missed my forehead.

Since he used such a big attack I used this opportunity to attack him.

Smack!

My elbow found its mark on his armpit, then I didn’t miss the opportunity to kick him.

Crack!

His shoulder dislocated.

“Uaahh!”

This was the first time that he screamed.

Smack! Punch!

I attacked at his vitals, and he rushed to attack me like a wild animal.

However his rage and anger were futile.

Whoosh!

I wrapped my leg around his and did a flip.

Craacck!

There was the sound of his arm breaking, but it didn’t twist all the way.

“Ummphh!”

I used all of my strength.

Crack!

His arm then broke all the way.

“Uahhhh!”

With this momentum, I wrapped my leg around his head and turned.

Although his body was airborne he was a stubborn one and didn’t die.

He got right back up and charged outside.

The people outside were panicking.

The person that he was looking for was Mae Rang and Ho Yeon Sook. Because he was overcome with fear and anger his instinct told him that he must make them his hostages.

Right as he was about to get near outside, he stopped moving.

His legs had stopped moving. It was because I used pressure points on his legs to immobilize them.

“What did I tell you? You are no better than a scarecrow. Look at what you are trying to do now.”

Everyone’s eyes were on him.

There were truly a lot of people present and they were all looking down on him

This was the worst point in his life. Since he was always the one looking down on them.

“Uaaahhh!” He screamed in his rage.

Then I got on top of his back and put both of my feet around his neck. With a great turn his head twisted like an owl.

Crack! Boom!

With a loud noise, he fell down. He died with his eyes wide open.

Many watchful eyes were on me now and I said in a loud voice, “The Mengju sent his successors from the Heavenly Dao Gate to build his influence and bring great disturbance to the Central Plains. This is my warning to them. If they look down on the Kang Ho, they will pay the price!”

I knew what they were feeling on the inside. Although they were silent since they didn’t have any power they were cheering on the inside.

If the Heavenly Dao Gate hadn’t taken over the Murim Alliance and if this wasn’t Mu Han they would have cheered for me.

Then I said looking at Mae Rang, “She came here to find out about the death of her grandson.

But the Mengju didn’t meet her. What sort of mengju is he? Is he the mengju for the people? Or is he the menjgu for the Heavenly Dao Gate? The reason why I spoke out is so that I can tell the Mengju as well as Heavenly Dao Gate that there are still people with a conscience in the Kang Ho.

That is all!”

Then Ho Yeon Sook asked me, “Will you tell me your honorable name, sir?”

I left after giving her a smile.

After jumping through the air and stepping on a couple of roof tiles and disappeared.

The reason why I appeared today was not because I wanted to help the two of them.

From now on, I was going to become the Nameless Warrior who brought change to the Kang Ho.

This was the reason why I killed Yeom Hwa in broad daylight.

I felt that the people need a hero right now.

Byuk Lee Dan was going to slowly raise his strength while the Nameless Warrior was going to take a more active role now. This way the attention on Byuk Lee Dan would be diverted to the Nameless Warrior.

Then, when it is revealed that the Nameless Warrior was Byuk Lee Dan the whole Central Plain would be surprised.

Another reason why I showed myself today was because the people from the Organization, the Alliance as well as the Heavenly Dao Gate will start to use their resources to find out who this person is. But they will never be able to since I didn’t exist.

With this, I became the light and the shadow. Sometimes I will use the light to deal with the darkness. Other times I will use an even greater shadow to get wipe out the darkness.

This was my first step against the enemies that I did not know.

[a]I have no idea what this saying means, maybe include a little blurb explaining it, or change it.
