The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 128

신마의선 (128)

After enjoying their time together in the swaying boat, Byeok Hwa-ryeong turned the bow after a long while.

At the same time, Beom Gye-wi’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

He thought they would return the way they came, but instead, the boat sailed further out to sea.

Beom Gye-wi’s eyes flickered slightly.

“Where are we going now?”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong smiled brightly.

“You said you needed Yeomhwa Dancheol [Crimson Flame Iron Ore], right?”

“……?”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong raised her hand and pointed into the distance.

“It’s over there.”

Beom Gye-wi turned his head in the direction Byeok Hwa-ryeong was pointing.

In the distance, an island barely perched above the water came into view.

The speedboat moved quickly, closing the distance to the island.

“It’s an island called Mujungdo (Island in the Mist). It’s shrouded in thick sea fog all year round, so it’s not marked on any maps. Some people call it Bulgwido (Island of No Return).”

“Bulgwido?”

“No one who goes in there ever comes back.”

Beom Gye-wi stared at the approaching island.

As Byeok Hwa-ryeong said, the island, shrouded in thick fog, exuded an ominous atmosphere befitting its name.

“Do people live in a place like that?”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong nodded at Beom Gye-wi’s question.

However, her cold gaze was unsettling.

“They’re quite famous around here. They plunder not only us but also Japanese ships indiscriminately.”

“They haven’t just been watching, have they?”

Knowing Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s personality, there was no way she would have overlooked their base even after knowing it.

“They’re quite strong. And they’re pretty good at handling ships.”

If Byeok Hwa-ryeong, who was full of pride, acknowledged it, it meant they were excellent sailors.

“The problem is that when you try to catch them, they quickly run away to that island. Because of the fog and reefs, we couldn’t recklessly bring in battleships. But that ends today.”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong wore a meaningful smile.

“No matter how much they fly around on the sea, they can’t be a match for Gaga on land.”

“So, those guys have Yeomhwa Dancheol?”

Beom Gye-wi grinned.

“Leave it to me.”

“Isn’t it perfect for the two of us to spend some quality time together?”

“Are you going with me?”

“Of course.”

Beom Gye-wi was inwardly uneasy.

If something were to happen to her, the entire Hainan Island would be turned upside down.

“Can’t I just go alone?”

“Why?”

Beom Gye-wi hesitated at her question, but soon found a suitable reason.

“You know what happens when I see blood, right?”

“That’s why I should go even more.”

“……?”

“I can’t miss Beom Gaga’s wild and passionate side.”

Beom Gye-wi found Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s burning gaze very burdensome.

Meanwhile, the boat broke through the fog and arrived at the coast of Mujungdo.

However, it never hit a reef even once.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong tapped the boat she was riding in at Beom Gye-wi’s questioning look.

“This is a speedboat, so it’s okay. It’s lighter than a heavy battleship, so it sinks less.”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong glared into the hazy fog.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but they’re not worth saving.”

Not only robbery but also murder, rape, and even human trafficking.

They were trash who deserved to die for countless reasons.

Beom Gye-wi nodded.

He knew better than anyone that Byeok Hwa-ryeong was a strange woman, but she wasn’t one to make things up.

“If that’s the case, it’ll be easier. It just means we can wipe them all out.”

With those words, Beom Gye-wi shot forward.

Even if the thick fog hindered his vision, Beom Gye-wi didn’t care.

The net of energy that spread in all directions replaced his eyes.

As he approached the center of the island, a wooden fence two fathoms [approximately 12 feet] high appeared.

Beom Gye-wi didn’t slow down and crashed straight into the fence.

Kwaang!

“Kyak!”

The thick wooden fence burst open, and several bandits swept away by the impact screamed in agony.

Bbeek!

The sound of horns blared from various places belatedly.

Soon after, a group of people poured out with shouts.

It was then that a thick murderous aura flowed from Beom Gye-wi’s eyes as he looked around.

As the fog scattered due to the aftermath of the fence exploding, he could see the scene inside.

Naked women were tied up like animals.

Opposite them was a cage made of thick wood.

And inside, emaciated children lay listlessly.

They were much younger than Dan-ak Seon.

However, their bodies were covered in terrible wounds and bruises.

It wasn’t hard to guess what had happened here.

“You’re right.”

A surging murderous intent flowed from Beom Gye-wi’s entire body.

“They’re not worth saving.”

With those words, Beom Gye-wi’s figure disappeared from the spot.

And when he reappeared, he was holding the necks of two bandits in each hand.

Snap.

The necks of the two bandits struggling in his grip snapped.

“He’s a master!”

A cry of astonishment erupted from the bandits.

“Shoot the crossbows!”

“What about the slaves?”

“It doesn’t matter! Wipe them all out!”

Someone ordered from within the fog.

Shwii shwii shwiik!

Black steel arrows poured down like rain, piercing through the fog.

Peobeobeobeok.

With a heavy impact, Beom Gye-wi’s figure staggered.

“We hit him! We hit him!”

A cheer erupted from the bandits.

However, their faces soon showed bewilderment.

Cheek!

With a strange sound, the fog in front of them began to dissipate.

The fog, which had been boiling due to the tremendous heat, had vaporized.

And Beom Gye-wi was standing in the center of it.

The bandits’ faces turned pale.

Because they had confirmed that Beom Gye-wi was still standing tall.

Beom Gye-wi was holding one steel arrow in each hand.

They were the steel arrows that had been flying towards the hostages behind him.

Jeobeok.

As Beom Gye-wi took a step, the steel arrows that had been densely embedded in his body belatedly poured down.

“Ho, Hosinganggi? [Protective energy field]”

A cry of astonishment erupted from the bandits’ mouths.

The crossbows they used were not ordinary items.

As weapons prepared for naval battles rather than personal combat, their power was beyond comparison.

It was even a monstrous weapon that could not be cocked by hand, but had to be cocked with both feet while pushing the bow with the whole body.

However, no matter how heavy and fast the crossbow was, it was impossible to penetrate the Hosinganggi.

Beom Gye-wi threw the steel arrows he was holding.

“Keheok!”

A dying scream erupted from the mouth of a bandit lying on the ground cocking the crossbow.

A thick steel arrow was already embedded in his chest.

Kuung.

It was then that Beom Gye-wi’s foot slammed into the ground.

Due to the impact of the Jingeok (earth-shattering kick) that shook the earth, the steel arrows that had fallen at Beom Gye-wi’s feet soared into the air.

Beom Gye-wi snatched them and began throwing them at the bandits.

Shwii shwii shwiik!

A tearing sound ripped through the air.

At the end of it were the bandits who were rolling around with terrifying screams.

A terrifying divine power of Ibalbulyo (二發不要) [Never needing a second shot] that accurately cut off the breath of one person with a single attack!

Moreover, there was no way to avoid the steel arrows that were faster than those shot with a crossbow.

“Mo, monster… Keok!”

A large hole appeared in the neck of a bandit who was staggering backward.

It was the spot where the steel arrow had pierced through.

The bandits turned their backs and began to run away at the sight of their comrades bleeding to death.

“Heung!”

With a cold snort, Beom Gye-wi flew into the fog.

Terrifying screams began to echo from all over the island.

There was no way to escape the narrow island anyway.

Occasionally, some threw themselves into the sea.

But they couldn’t deceive Beom Gye-wi’s eyes and ears.

They were hit by a rock that flew from somewhere and became fish food with a huge pillar of water.

After a while.

Beom Gye-wi returned to where Byeok Hwa-ryeong was standing.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong, who had been staring at Beom Gye-wi covered in blood with ecstatic eyes, soon realized something strange.

“Huh? Beom Gaga. Did you cure your madness?”

Beom Gye-wi nodded.

“Thanks to our Doctor Dan, I’m much better.”

“Our…?”

Cold sparks flew from Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s eyes.

“What kind of woman is Doctor Dan?”

Beom Gye-wi made a dumbfounded expression.

“He’s a thirteen-year-old boy.”

“Huh? Mi, sorry.”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong stammered in embarrassment, then glared at him with a sulky look.

“Beom Gaga was looking at me with such affectionate eyes, I couldn’t help but misunderstand…”

Beom Gye-wi chuckled and cast his gaze at Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s feet.

There was a man lying at her feet.

He was probably in his mid-fifties.

He was a man with hideous tattoos on his face.

While Beom Gye-wi was searching the island like a fine-tooth comb, she hadn’t been idle either.

“Why didn’t you kill him?”

“Ah, this guy?”

The bandit, who was lying stiff as a log as if his Mael (paralysis point) and Ahyeol (vital point) had been suppressed, rolled his eyes.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong curled up a cold smile.

“This guy is the Daebaeksa (大白鯊) [Great White Shark], the boss here.”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong kicked the man’s solar plexus with her toe.

“Kehek!”

The middle-aged man, who was gasping for breath as if he would die at any moment, belatedly realized that his Ahyeol [pressure point] had been released.

“Deal! Let’s make a deal!”

“Deal? Are you talking down to me?”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong smiled brightly and slowly reached for her waist.

Seureung.

The Dokmun weapon (unique weapon) that symbolized the Hainan school, which was hanging on her waist, revealed its ominous figure.

It was a Hyeopbonggeom (狹蜂劍) [Narrow Bee Sword], a narrow bee sword with a sharp tip like a large needle.

Pook.

“Kkeuaaak!”

The man screamed as the sharp sword pierced his thigh.

But there was nothing he could do.

Since his Mael [paralysis point] was still not released, all he could do was scream in agony.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong smiled and twisted her wrist.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong smiled as she stirred the Hyeopbonggeom that she had stabbed into the other man’s thigh.

“What can you give me?”

“Treasure! There’s a place where I’ve hidden the treasure I’ve collected!”

“There is?”

“Y, yes!”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong stopped her hand at the man’s polite tone.

“Oh my? Really? Are you giving it all to me?”

“Instead, there is a condition.”

“Condition?”

“Please, just spare my life…”

“Okay. I’ll spare you.”

The man was rather embarrassed by Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s too-willing answer.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong frowned at his expression.

“Are you doubting me now?”

“…….”

“I’m different from trash like you. I always keep my word.”

A thick murderous aura rose above Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s smiling eyes.

“Euaaak! Stop! Stoppp!”

Another scream erupted from the man’s mouth.

Byeok Hwa-ryeong, who was stirring the man’s thigh with the Hyeopbonggeom, replied nonchalantly.

“Oh my, sorry. I was so upset that my hand moved on its own?”

Beom Gye-wi felt goosebumps all over his body at the sight.

At this point, he began to get confused about who was the villain.

“Mohwabong! There’s a small cave hidden in the bushes behind Mohwabong!”

“If you’re lying, you know what’ll happen, right?”

Even as she said that, Byeok Hwa-ryeong didn’t stop her hand.

The man screamed in the terrible pain of having his thigh flesh sliced off.

“I’ve collected everything there. Keuheuk!”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong withdrew her hand with a very regretful look at the man crying with tears and snot.

“I’ll be back, so keep an eye on this guy.”

With those words, Byeok Hwa-ryeong flew somewhere.

After a while, she returned with a long box in her hand.

She handed the box to Beom Gye-wi.

“Here, this is what Gaga was looking for.”

Beom Gye-wi opened the box.

Then, several lumps of blood-colored metal emitting a strange heat appeared.

“You’re just giving it to me?”

Byeok Hwa-ryeong made a rather puzzled expression at Beom Gye-wi’s question.

“You said you needed it, right?”

“I need it.”

“Then take it.”

Something felt uneasy, but Beom Gye-wi silently closed the box and tucked it under his arm.

It was then that Byeok Hwa-ryeong smiled and opened her mouth.

“But can I ask you for a favor?”

“What is it?”

“Please stop the bleeding. It’s Beom Gaga’s specialty.”

“Why? Are you hurt somewhere?”

“No, not me.”

The bandit boss flinched as his eyes met Byeok Hwa-ryeong’s.

At that moment, Byeok Hwa-ryeong drew her sword like a thunderbolt and swung it.
