Chapter 136

The Debut of the Water Thunder Fly

Originally, water skill was a martial art developed
to allow humans to swim and move faster than fish in the water.

In a word, from the fish's point of view, it was an arrogant and heaven-defying, absurd challenge by humans who were going against the providence of nature, and from the human's point of view, it was a splendid achievement of overcoming their own limits through human-specific effort and research and development.

A study to hold one's breath for a long time like a fish and to minimize the resistance of the water! Water skill was also a very difficult martial art to learn.

Originally, the basic tactic of underwater combat, unless it was for plunder or supply, was to sink the enemy's ship by drilling a hole in its bottom or side, which was the best way to minimize the damage on this side. Because once the ship sank, the water would take care of the rest.

Especially since most martial artists were weak in water skills, it was even easier to handle them. The ease of it was not comparable to the extermination of the southern capital bugs.

That's why Bi Ryu-yeon had treated the ambushers as idiots.

The sense of alienation from being thrown into a completely different world was an unfamiliar feeling. He had already felt the threat to his life once. But he could not just be caught up in such feelings. If he did, he would not know when someone else's sword would be decorated on his neck as a substitute for an ornament.

Yun Jun-ho quickly pulled himself together and recalled the teachings he had learned in the water skill class.

'First, do not go against the flow of the water, and do not fear the water. Think of the water as a friend.'

In the Cheonmu Academy, there was also a water skill study as a special liberal arts, and it was a class that everyone had to take.

The voice of the martial arts master, who had been giving a passionate speech during the class, was ringing in his ears.

'You must control the psychological changes in a sudden environmental change well. In the water, it is conciseness and speed rather than change. Exclude all changes and attack the enemy in a straight line.'

Now, he could not expect Namgung Sang's help. Once again, an ambusher was approaching him. Yun Jun-ho, who was not used to water skills, was already having trouble breathing. As his breathing became difficult, his mind also became impatient.

The weapons that the ambushers used were all simple but sharp, high-lethality weapons. They were all made to be suitable for use in the water.

The weapons used in the water were made in the simplest way, with all the ornaments removed, to minimize the resistance of the water. Because there was no guarantee that colorful and tattered ornaments would be helpful in protecting one's life in the water.

"Hiyah!"

Yun Jun-ho unconsciously unfolded the Plum Blossom Piercing Rainbow, which was the most concise and fastest form among the Plum Blossom Sword Method, towards the ambusher who was flying towards him.

Puk!

To Yun Jun-ho's own surprise, the one form of the Plum Blossom Piercing Rainbow was unfolded smoothly. The hypersensitivity symptom that usually appeared after unfolding the Plum Blossom Sword Method was also not seen.

'D...don't tell me! That's right. There's no smell in the water!'

The moment he realized this simple truth, a thrill ran through Yun Jun-ho's body. It felt as if a path had opened up in front of his eyes, which had been so bleak.

"Uup!"

But the joy of realization was also brief, and Yun Jun-ho, whose breathing had reached its limit, had to rise to the surface of the water again.

The eyes of Yun Jun-ho, who had come down after taking a breath of air again, began to shine for the first time. Now, he had no choice but to prove it with his body.

"Shouldn't we help?"
Na Ye-rin asked, looking at Bi Ryu-yeon, who was so calm even in the midst of this pandemonium. The look of questioning was evident. But to Bi Ryu-yeon, even her angry face looked pretty. No, he rather liked the present, which showed a fragment of emotion, more than the usual, which was like a cold statue.

"Who should I help?"
Her beautiful eyebrows trembled slightly.

"Of course, I'm referring to the Vermilion Bird Squad, who must be struggling in the water right now."
In other words, it was a story that the Vermilion Bird Squad had all jumped in, so what were you doing here so comfortably?

"That seems to be a very useless worry. They will do well on their own even if I don't help them."

"You're very confident, aren't you?"

"You seem to be worried, miss?"

"Of course. Isn't it strange not to be worried when they, who are weak in water skills, have jumped into the enemy's front yard?"

Na Ye-rin's words were a natural, universal, and general logical thought. It was common for the disciples of the righteous path to be weak in water skills, except for a few special cases. After all, in the righteous path, the martial art that was treated as a side path or a miscellaneous art was the water skill.

"Miss Na, you seem to be thinking too negatively. How would they feel their pride hurt then? Don't waste your mental energy on useless worries, and how about we go fishing instead?"

Bi Ryu-yeon, who had thrown the members of the Vermilion Bird Squad into the water hundreds of times, did not seem to have any worries or doubts about their ability to study water skills.

"You've been persistent since a while ago."

Bi Ryu-yeon just smiled brightly. He had already brought up the topic of fishing for the third time.

"I'm a bit like that. Then I'll have to do it alone. The water is clear and the weather is sunny, so I might as well go fishing... Lalala! With weather like today, I wouldn't be surprised if a person was caught instead of a fish."

Bi Ryu-yeon's hand, which had approached the railing with a light step as if he were playing, was raised cheerfully like a dance and was stretched out towards the surface of the water.

Out!

Pahak!

In an instant, three flashes of light stretched out from his sleeve and disappeared under the surface of the water. The flashes left only small and tiny ripples on the surface of the water.

"Kuk!"

The first flash accurately pierced the Adam's apple of the ambusher who was standing at the very front.

Clairvoyance

See!

Bi Ryu-yeon's finger, who was looking silently with his hand stretched out towards the shimmering surface of the water, twitched slightly.

'What is he doing?'

Na Ye-rin was puzzled by Bi Ryu-yeon's unknown action. It was impossible for her to grasp the reality of the technique that Bi Ryu-yeon was currently unfolding, even with her eyes. She could only guess.

'Don't tell me it's a throwing dagger?'

A throwing dagger?

There was a separate weapon to be used in the water, so what was with a throwing dagger! What was this if not a heaven-and-man-enraging act that excessively violated the providence of nature?
From ancient times, the throwing dagger had been considered one of the weapons that could never be used in the water. A dagger might be different, but a throwing dagger. Na Ye-rin could not help but be dumbfounded.

As if not satisfied with one sacrifice, the flash (trajectory) of the Water Thunder Fly bent at a sharp angle and flew towards the next prey.

'W...what? Uwaaaak!'

'Number Nine! Number Seven!!'

Despair appeared in the eyes of the Dark Dragon Number Two, who was watching this sudden situation. It was already infuriating that his subordinates were being knocked down helplessly by the Vermilion Bird Squad, who had fearlessly jumped into their front yard, the water, but now that his subordinates were even dying a mysterious death, he was going crazy. An unknown killing intent was now flying towards him.

'A...a ghost?'

It was not unreasonable for him to mistake it for a ghost. But this ghost did not feel the need to answer his question.

'Kuaak!'

He could only scream inwardly.
The Dark Dragon Number Two seemed to have seen a flash of light in the last moment of his life. He had to end his life without ever finding out the identity of the ghost.

The three flashes of light that had crossed the dark water without even a sound moved freely in the water as if they had a will, and accurately took nine lives. It was something that had happened in an instant.

Complete!

The fishing was over.

As the number of ambushers, which had been twenty-five, was reduced to sixteen in an instant, the movement of the Vermilion Bird Squad became even more smooth. Their swords, which had escaped the disadvantage of being outnumbered, flew towards the ambushers without hesitation.
The moment the number of ambushers became equal to that of the Vermilion Bird Squad, the winner was as good as decided.
The bodies of the ambushers sank into the quiet and deep darkness of silence. They would never rise again.
Until their bodies were filled with air two days later.
If they did not become lunch for the schools of fish that swam in groups in the Yangtze River, their bodies might swell up and rise after about two days.
I advise you, it would be better for maintaining your appetite not to see that.

The Rain Has Not Stopped Yet

-The Desperate Fight on the Escort Boat

"As you said, it rained. A rain of red blood!"

Na Ye-rin said with an expressionless face and an emotionless voice.
The sunlight, as if it were not interested in the affairs of the human world, was still just warm.

"It hasn't stopped yet."

Bi Ryu-yeon replied in a casual tone.

"Is that so?"

"That's right."

"I see."

Na Ye-rin nodded her head as if she understood.

The members of the Vermilion Bird Squad, who had come up after having the unique and unfamiliar experience of an underwater battle under the surface of the Yangtze River, and Yun Jun-ho, who was still standing blankly with a dazed face, were drying their wet bodies in the sun. Except for Yun Jun-ho, there was no trace of having just fought a fierce battle on the faces of the Vermilion Bird Squad.
There was no problem with Jin Ryeong's well-being either.

It seemed that Namgung Sang had done his job properly. Except for the fact that his body was soaked in water, his complexion was also normal, so it seemed that he had now pulled himself together.

Na Ye-rin and the people of the Heavenly Sword Group showed expressions of admiration at their calm appearance.

"W...what on earth is this? H...how can such a thing happen? No matter how important the treasure on the escort boat is, it's impossible for them to attack without any warning or negotiation!"

The person who was the most nervous and was in a state of confusion here was the representative of this escort mission, the head of the Nanchang branch, the Yangtze River Flood Dragon, Su Jang-hae. He was fiercely spitting out saliva, diligently denying the reality that was unfolding in front of his eyes.
Naturally, people could not help but frown.

"Now, now... Branch Head! Please calm down. This is not the time to be so excited. You must calm your mind and try to grasp the situation."

The person who had calmed down the excited Su Jang-hae was Jang Hong. He had calmed down Su Jang-hae, who had been in a state of
confusion, with a very skillful skill.
His words were certainly effective.

"Huu! I'm sorry. I think I was too excited. But it's the first time I've experienced such a thing in my 10 years of escort bureau life..."

Cheok!

Bi Ryu-yeon raised his hand and cut off Su Jang-hae's words. As he looked at Na Ye-rin with a meaningful smile, she also nodded her head. (Bi Ryu-yeon's smile deepened. As expected, she had also noticed.)
Bi Ryu-yeon once again pushed Su Jang-hae, who was about to enter a state of calm, into a state of confusion in an instant.

"Oh, oh! To interrupt people's conversation in the middle, they are lacking in manners.
It's rude to disturb people who were just about to take a leisurely rest. I think the third wave is coming!"

I don't know since when Bi Ryu-yeon had started to care about such a grand, stiff, and not-so-useful thing in real life as etiquette, but
the situation was as Bi Ryu-yeon had said.

"Branch Head! A fast boat is approaching the escort boat at a high speed."

An escort guard shouted, making a fuss. It was a very loud voice, so Bi Ryu-yeon thought it would be better if he lowered his voice a little. But how could the situation be like that?
The fast boat approached at a speed two or three times faster. There seemed to be no need to ask what their purpose was.
It was clear that they were refusing a conversation according to the custom.
Seeing that there was no mark, they were not people who belonged to a water fortress. Besides, since when did water bandits care about their portrait rights...

The people on the approaching fast boat were all wearing black clothes and masks, and were holding a Dragon's Beard Hook in their hands. It was clear that since the ambush had been nullified, this time they were going to fight with all their might.

"Sons of bitches!"

A curse came out of Su Jang-hae's mouth. It was the first time in his life that he had seen such water bandit punks who ignored the custom.
