Chapter 4 : Visiting the Black Tiger Gang's Headquarters
After leaving the Black Tiger Gang's office with Jo Manhong, Gu Hui stopped by the market.
He purchased ghost yellow paper and chicken blood at the market and then moved to a blacksmith's shop.
The reason for going to the blacksmith's shop was to buy a weapon.
He had used a hand hoe before because his old body lacked the necessary strength.
Now that he had transformed into the appearance of a man in his fifties and gained considerable strength, he should be able to wield a blade.
Е n̄ ũḿ а
Arriving at the blacksmith's shop, Gu Hui scanned the weapons on display.
The owner of the Hwang Family Blacksmith Shop, Hwang Yogoan, asked.

"Welcome. Is there something you're looking for?"
"I'm looking to buy a blade."
"Shall I recommend one?"
"It's fine. I'll choose one myself."
Ѐ ńùm̂ â . і ḋ
"Ahem, alright. Take your pick."
Gu Hui carefully examined the countless blades on display. Soon, he picked up one blade.
"I'll take this one."
It was a blade about two and a half feet long, with a sharp, well-honed edge.

Hwang Yogoan exclaimed in admiration.
"Oh, you have a great eye!"
Е̃n ü m á_
The blade Gu Hui had chosen was the greatest masterpiece of Hwang Yogoan's life, a swordsmith with fifty years of experience, forged through more than a hundred rounds of quenching.
It was a blade that had achieved a hundred-fold refinement of steel, and among the weapons in the Hwang Family Blacksmith Shop, its durability and sharpness were second to none.
However, it had the disadvantage of being very expensive, so it had not been sold for a long time.
"But, the price is a bit high, is that alright…? It's seven gold nyang."
It was a blade that had surpassed steel to achieve a hundred-fold refinement. It was not a blade that just anyone could make.
It was certainly worth that much.

Gu Hui held out seven gold nyang.
He had enough money, having taken the money from the black inn and the office.
Hwang Yogoan's eyes widened as he quickly took the gold.
"Hehe. Thank you. Is there anything else you need?"
"Give me a belt as well."
After purchasing a belt to wear the blade at his waist, Gu Hui left the blacksmith's shop.
Еnŭ m̊ а́ . іd̆
Gu Hui discarded the hand hoe and hung the blade at his waist.
Next, Gu Hui asked the market merchants and found out the location of a pet adoption center.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The pet adoption center was a place created to target the children of wealthy families and the rich as its customer base.
There were quite a few rich people who wanted to raise special animals that others did not have.
They found it fun to adopt and raise predators like baby leopards.
Gu Hui and Jo Manhong entered the pet adoption center.
Wẽb.nоv ѐ_l Е̂ n̈ ù m а
Inside, there were iron cages, and within them were various baby predators.
The owner of the adoption center, Ga Bokheum, greeted Gu Hui.
"Welcome. Have you come to see the animals?"
"Yes."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Is there a particular animal you are looking for?"
"Do you have an eagle?"
Ẃ е̂b nov̄е̇ l̇ Ê ñ ů m̀а
"We do have an eagle. I will guide you to the aviary on the second floor."
Gu Hui and Jo Manhong moved to the aviary.
There were countless types of birds in the aviary.
Gu Hui and Jo Manhong arrived in front of an eagle with the largest build and dark brown feathers.
The owner, Ga Bokheum, said.
"This one has been raised here since it was a chick. We let it fly once every three days. It's about three years old. A very healthy fellow."
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Gu Hui asked Jo Manhong.
"How is it? Do you like it?"
Jo Manhong observed the eagle with serious eyes. He had to think carefully, as he would have to live in that body from now on.
Jo Manhong felt his heart pound. He wanted to get that body right away and fly in the sky.
[I like it, my lord. I've decided on this one.]
Gu Hui nodded.
Ŵ е̄b̀ n̈о v̄ е̂ l̇ Е̊ n̈ ü m̈а
Meanwhile, the adoption center owner, Ga Bokheum, thought Gu Hui was a little strange.
'He's talking to himself in thin air…. His condition is a bit off….'

Does he even have the money to buy an eagle? He was anxious.
Gu Hui asked.
"I'll take this one. How much is it?"
"That will be 15 silver nyang."
E ṅ u̇.m à . іḋ
As it was a shop targeting a wealthy clientele, the price was quite high.
Gu Hui paid the silver and received the cage containing the eagle.
"Good work."
Leaving the shop, Gu Hui returned home with Jo Manhong.

In the basement of Jo Manhong's estate.
Ĕ n ǔm̂ а . і ḋ
The formation for the Life and Death Soul Possession Great Method, drawn with chicken blood, was complete on the floor.
Within that formation stood Jo Manhong in his soul form. Next to him was the eagle in its cage.
Jo Manhong had a nervous expression.
Gu Hui asked.
"Are you ready?"
[Yes. I am ready, my lord.]
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Then I will begin. Do not leave the formation until the incantation is finished."
[I will keep that in mind.]
Gu Hui began to chant the incantation.
Soon, a crimson light flickered from the formation, and a soul popped out of the eagle's body. The eagle's soul passed through the ceiling and flew out into the sky. That eagle's soul would be sent to the afterlife in ten days.
In the next moment, Jo Manhong's soul was sucked into the unconscious eagle's body.
Gu Hui finished the incantation, and the eagle's eyes slowly opened.

The eagle looked around with dazed eyes. Then it looked at its own wings and legs and couldn't hide its surprise.
"Are you alright?"

"Kkiruk, kkirooruk."
"I can't understand what you're saying. Let's go outside first."
Gu Hui, having freed Jo Manhong in his eagle form from the cage, left the basement. Jo Manhong followed behind him, walking awkwardly on two feet.
Gu Hui and Jo Manhong came out into the inner courtyard.

"Try flying."
At Gu Hui's words, Jo Manhong flapped his wings. His body rose into the air and landed on the wall.
"Kkiruk, kkiruk."
"Can't you fly higher?"

"Kki, kkirook…."
"I don't know what you're saying. Use your beak to write on the dirt floor."
W е bn̈ öv̆ еl E ń ǔ mа
Jo Manhong nodded, came down to the ground, and used his beak to write on the dirt floor.
[My lord. My body feels as light as if it could fly away. But… flying high is still a bit scary….]
"Hmm… I suppose so. It's understandable, having been in a human body and now in a bird's body. I'll give you five days. In that time, you must achieve perfect eagle-like flying skills."
With a determined look, Jo Manhong replied by writing on the dirt floor with his beak.
[Yes. I will definitely succeed.]

While Jo Manhong was busy with his flight practice outside.
Gu Hui, who had entered his quarters, began to circulate his energy.
Using the circulation method of the Heaven Defying Soul Origin Art, he moved the Soul Origin Energy and circulated it through his meridians.
The blocked meridians gradually opened, and his blood vessels expanded.
A short while later, after finishing the circulation, his body had changed to be able to exert first-class martial arts.
He had broken through the third and second rates at once. He was able to achieve such rapid growth because of the enlightenment from his past life.
Wē b́n̄ о́ v.ĕ l̊ Еñu m а̊
Gu Hui got up from his seat and went down to the basement.
In the basement, he began to practice the peerless blade technique he had learned in his past life, the Soul Shattering Blade Method.

With the sound of tearing air, blade strikes imbued with the energy of the Heaven Defying Soul Origin Art continuously cut through the air.
He was training to adapt his body to the martial arts.
Before long, his body was drenched in sweat.
In addition to the blade technique, Gu Hui also began to train in palm techniques, fist techniques, foot techniques, and hand techniques.
Еṅûm̃ а̊ .і̊ ḋ
For the five days that Jo Manhong practiced flying, Gu Hui planned to train to master the martial arts of his past life.

The headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang.
In an inner room, a large man with a huge axe on his back sat at a table.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
He was the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, the Brutal Killing Axe, Mak Husim.
The Brutal Killing Axe, Mak Husim, possessed powerful martial arts, unlike the leader of a mere dark path thug organization.
Еń um̈a
He, who possessed first-class skills, could have entered a small or medium-sized sect as a leader or a team leader, but he did not and chose the life of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
The reason was that he judged it better to be the head of a snake than the tail of a dragon.
Mak Husim was very satisfied with his current life as the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.
But!
Cracks began to appear in that peaceful and satisfying life.
Last night, the Clear Flower Inn, a business of the Black Tiger Gang, was attacked by someone, and the three gang members working there were found dead.

And this afternoon, the loan shark office was attacked. All 32 gang members working there were found dead.
Mak Husim could not contain his boiling anger.
His fist slammed into the stone table, shattering it to pieces.
"Who the hell is it…. Who dares to attack the Black Tiger Gang's businesses…."
It couldn't be someone who originally lived in Mugang County. He suspected an outsider.
It had to be.
È n̆ um̈ а̀ . і̀ d
Because in Mugang County, there was no sect or martial artist who could touch the Black Tiger Gang.
Behind the Black Tiger Gang was the Dragon Spring Gang.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
The Dragon Spring Gang was a mid-sized gang that wielded the most powerful influence in Mugang County.
The Black Tiger Gang had been consistently paying four-tenths of their monthly income to the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang's leader for a long time.
Mak Husim shouted.
"Jonggu!"
W̌ е́ b̊ n̆о v̌е̂l̈ Ẽn ũm̀а̂
The door opened, and the Black Tiger Gang's action leader, Baek Jonggu, came in.
"Did you call, boss."
"How many days until the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang's leader visits to collect the money?"
"Five days left…."

Mak Husim had a headache.
While two of the Black Tiger Gang's businesses had been ruined, he still had to pay the tribute to the third young master.
Е nu mа.і d
The loss was very large.
At least the subordinates at the Black Tiger Gang's headquarters were still collecting money from the market merchants, so there was still some income.
"Damn it… Jonggu, find the bastard who hit the Clear Flower Inn and the loan office. He will definitely pay the price."
"Yes. Understood…."

"Caw! Caw!"

A crow was soaring through the sky.
But, at that moment.
A large, sharp, and strong talon wrapped around the crow's body.
The panicked crow struggled. But it was useless.
The one who had snatched the crow was Jo Manhong in the form of an eagle.
Jo Manhong released the crow. The crow hastily fled.
Enǔ ṁ ă
Jo Manhong, who had been cruising the sky at a height of several hundred feet, descended to the ground.
Jo Manhong landed on the wall.

Gu Hui, who was standing in the inner courtyard, nodded.
"You have completely mastered the art of flying."
Jo Manhong's flight was perfect.
Jo Manhong was satisfied with Gu Hui's praise.
E ǹ u̇m̈a. ї d
Practicing flying for five days had been truly fun.
He never knew flying in the sky could be such an ecstatic experience.
It was beyond his expectations.
In the sky, he was the king.

Gu Hui said.
"It seems everything is ready."
E ñŭm̈ a .і̊ d
It was time to hunt.
Gu Hui told Jo Manhong the plan he had prepared. Then he descended the mountain.
Jo Manhong followed Gu Hui, flying in the sky.
* * *
Three hours later.
Gu Hui arrived at the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang, which the owner of the Clear Flower Inn had told him about.

Two large men with fierce expressions stood guarding the main gate.
They were wary when they saw the blade worn at Gu Hui's waist.
One of them subtly reached for a whistle in his pocket.
And the other one gripped the handle of his hand axe, ready to draw it at a moment's notice.
Gu Hui asked.
"Is this the headquarters of the Black Tiger Gang?"
Ẃ е̌ b́ n̊ о̇v е̊l Ё n̊ umа̂
The one holding the hand axe asked.
"Who are you?"

Gu Hui's gaze turned to their wrists.
On their wrists were black tiger tattoos.
The owner, cook, and waiter of the Clear Flower Inn also had that tattoo on their wrists.
Gu Hui said softly.
E nu m̊ ӑ. і d
"It is, the Black Tiger Gang."
With those words, Gu Hui's blade, hanging at his waist, was drawn in a flash. A slash, struck down like lightning, instantly cut down the man holding the hand axe.
One man fell with a thud. On the body of the dead man, there was a vertical wound from his forehead to his navel. Blood gushed out from the wide-open wound.
The remaining man next to him let out a gasp of astonishment.

"Heok!"
He quickly brought the whistle to his mouth.
E n üm̄_ӓ.іd̃
The leader had ordered them to blow the whistle immediately if an intruder attacked.
Just as the whistle was about to touch his lips. A flash of light exploded.
A cutting sound, and the man's hand fell to the ground.
Blood spurted from the severed surface, and the man's mouth fell open.
"Kuaa…."
Before he could even finish the sound 'aak!', Gu Hui's right hand shot out and grabbed the man's throat.

"Kwek… kweeek…."
"How many are inside?"
Gu Hui slightly loosened his grip. As his airway cleared, the man barely managed to say.
"One hundred… twenty… men… sa…ve… me…."
The man's neck broke. The man, with his tongue hanging out, died, and his body was thrown to the ground.
Gu Hui snatched the Soul Origin Energy of the two who had become souls. The men were annihilated, and Gu Hui opened the main gate and went inside.
É ñ u m а̃
Entering the inner courtyard, Gu Hui could see a large building that looked like a warehouse.
Inside there must be the one hundred and twenty members of the Black Tiger Gang.

It was time to start the hunt.
Gu Hui's gaze turned to the sky.
Jo Manhong was flying dozens of feet high in the sky, waiting for orders.
Gu Hui nodded.
Wěbňо̇v е ĺ Е̄ñū mа̇
'Begin.'
Immediately, Jo Manhong landed on the roof of the building. A pouch connected by a string was attached to his body. Gu Hui had tied it to his body before coming here.
As Gu Hui had ordered, Jo Manhong used his beak to take out the talismans from the pouch one by one and attached them to the roof and side walls. After attaching a total of ten talismans, Jo Manhong nodded.
Seeing that, Gu Hui said softly.

"Shall we begin."
Gu Hui began to chant an incantation.

Then, flames spontaneously erupted from the talismans attached to various parts of the building.
In an instant, the conflagration spread in all directions and engulfed the entire building.
* * *
The one hundred and twenty members of the Black Tiger Gang inside the building suddenly felt the surroundings become hot. Soon, smoke rose, the building began to burn, and flames began to consume the interior.
"Wh-what?"
"F-fire…! It's a fire!"

The action leader, Baek Jonggu, said to the leader, Mak Husim.
"B-boss. It's a fire! We need to escape immediately."
Mak Husim was in the middle of a conversation with the grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang while paying the tribute.
The face of the Dragon Spring Gang's grand disciple, Gyo Seungak, contorted.
"What? A fire? How do you manage your building? Good grief, really."
Grinding his teeth, Mak Husim rose from his chair.
Ѐ n̊uḿ ă
"Damn it… what the…."
Bad things just keep happening.

Mak Husim was furious.
First, Mak Husim and Gyo Seungak hurriedly moved.
The gang members, with pained expressions due to the black smoke and heat, were waiting for their leader to go out first.
As subordinates, they could not flee before their leader. If they dared to flee first, they would have to face the wrath of Mak Husim later.
Ѐ nŭ m ǎ
The annoyed grand disciple of the Dragon Spring Gang, Gyo Seungak, was the first to open the door.
Just as he was about to step outside.
A cutting sound was heard, and Gyo Seungak's severed head fell to the floor.
Outside the door stood Gu Hui. Holding a blade from which blood was dripping.
