The Divine And Demonic Doctor [EN]: Chapter 193

In that instant, Yang Wi-gun felt an appalling suction force binding his entire body.

A terrible pressure beyond words!

It was as if an invisible, enormous hand was gripping his entire being.

Moreover…….

Suddenly, his body floated into the air and began to be pulled towards Beom Gye-wi against his will.

“Huk!”

Yang Wi-gun gasped at the formidable divine power of telekinetic capture and mustered his inner strength.

Koo-oong.

His legs, which had been helplessly dragged towards Beom Gye-wi, dug into the ground.

Frantically employing the Thousand-Pound Drop technique [a martial arts technique used to increase downward force] to barely halt his momentum, Yang Wi-gun saw the smile on Beom Gye-wi’s lips deepen.

It was then that an unbelievable event occurred.

“Euheok!”

A scream-like gasp escaped Yang Wi-gun’s lips.

His figure staggered for a moment, then began to be dragged towards Beom Gye-wi again.

His feet were still buried up to the ankles in the ground.

Gee-geuk.

While being dragged, carving a deep furrow in the ground,

Beom Gye-wi suddenly opened his mouth.

“Don’t resist. You’ll break.”

At those words, Yang Wi-gun’s face became even more pallid.

He knew better than anyone that it wasn’t genuine concern for him.

‘If I get dragged over, I’ll die!’

He couldn’t possibly be ignorant of Beom Gye-wi’s intentions.

Once he crossed the boundary stone, his safety could no longer be guaranteed.

Even if his legs were to break, they had to break within the village.

In the current situation, resisting like this was the only way to survive.

The color gradually drained from Yang Wi-gun’s face.

Unable to bear watching, the Green Forest Bandits rushed forward to hold onto Yang Wi-gun.

“Tsk!”

Beom Gye-wi clicked his tongue, annoyed.

Then, he waved his hand irritably, roughly snatching at the air.

Yang Wi-gun was suddenly seized by a chilling sensation.

The instinct of a martial artist who had navigated the Sword Forest of Mount Do for many years was sounding the alarm louder than ever.

As expected.

His entire body felt as if it would be crushed by the suction force, which had become incomparably stronger than before.

Yang Wi-gun screamed inwardly.

But there was no other way.

He could only resist with all his might.

But then, at some point.

Tudduk.

His legs, unable to withstand the combined power of the Thousand-Pound Drop, his comrades’ strength, and the telekinetic capture, snapped like tinder.

“Aaaargh!”

With a desperate scream, Yang Wi-gun’s figure floated into the air as if being uprooted.

As a result, the Green Forest Bandits holding onto Yang Wi-gun also lost their balance and tumbled forward.

The Green Forest Bandits couldn’t help but be horrified at the sight of Yang Wi-gun being helplessly dragged towards Beom Gye-wi.

Teok.

Beom Gye-wi grabbed Yang Wi-gun by the scruff of his neck.

Having finally gotten Yang Wi-gun in his grasp, Beom Gye-wi grinned.

“One down for now.”

“……!”

Yang Wi-gun trembled.

His unique weapon, the Mountain-Breaking Axe, was still hanging on his back.

Moreover, Beom Gye-wi was within striking distance, and he was off guard.

He could counterattack at any moment with a simple reach, but he couldn’t dare to do so.

The moment he faced the chilling glint flowing from Beom Gye-wi’s eyes, his entire body froze.

“See? I told you it would break. Why didn’t you listen to me…….”

Yang Wi-gun felt extremely wronged at Beom Gye-wi’s words.

He resented himself for not being able to say a word in this absurd situation where the perpetrator was shifting the blame onto the victim.

But what could he do?

In the first place, strength was everything in this world.

It was then that Beom Gye-wi turned his gaze towards the other Green Forest Bandits.

“Aren’t you guys coming too?”

With those words, Beom Gye-wi reached out again.

“Heok!”

“Uh? Uh!”

The Green Forest Bandits, belatedly grasping the situation, struggled with all their might, but it was useless.

From the beginning, there was an unbridgeable gap in martial prowess between them and Beom Gye-wi.

Soon, the Green Forest Bandits screamed as they were dragged towards Beom Gye-wi, and Ryung So-mil sighed.

“Vice-Chief. Go quickly and inform them.”

“Yes? Yes! I understand.”

At Ryung So-mil’s instruction, So Jeok-san hurriedly left his spot.

But even in that moment, the Green Forest Bandits were being dragged away by Beom Gye-wi.

“Hehe. Just a little more. Just over this line.”

The Green Forest Bandits turned pale at the sight of Beom Gye-wi grinning at them.

In the end, however, they were all dragged out beyond the boundary stone.

As they shuddered at the terrible premonition,

Yang Wi-gun cried out desperately.

“A letter! There is a letter that Chief Bodyguard told me to deliver!”

A look of bewilderment appeared in Beom Gye-wi’s eyes.

“A letter? That bastard Ak Ho-gun? Why?”

As if afraid of missing the opportunity, Yang Wi-gun quickly took out the letter from his chest and handed it to Beom Gye-wi.

With a displeased expression, Beom Gye-wi took the letter and released his grip on Yang Wi-gun’s collar.

“…….”

After silently checking the contents of the letter for a moment, Beom Gye-wi frowned.

“What is this?”

Beom Gye-wi crumpled the letter and threw it away carelessly, glaring at Yang Wi-gun.

“So. You were acting so cocky because Ak Ho-gun is backing you? Dare to act against me, Beom Gye-wi?”

“No! That’s not it! When did I…….”

Yang Wi-gun, about to open his mouth with a wronged expression, shut it.

It was because he faced Beom Gye-wi’s increasingly fierce gaze.

“I was wrong! Please spare me!”

Yang Wi-gun prostrated himself on the ground.

From the moment Beom Gye-wi appeared, the situation had become hopelessly twisted.

There was no point in exchanging words, only inviting trouble.

At best, groveling was the only option.

In the meantime, Ryung So-mil cautiously approached and picked up Ak Ho-gun’s letter lying on the ground.

‘Hmm?’

A strange light flashed in Ryung So-mil’s eyes as he unfolded the letter and checked its contents.

The main content written inside was largely twofold.

One was that a traitor within the Green Forest had infiltrated Muwi and a request for cooperation to catch him.

The other was an invitation to Dan Ak-seon and the Three Divine Venerables of Mount Hua to the Green Forest’s headquarters, Waho Fortress [a fortified encampment or stronghold].

A polite and respectful letter.

‘So, he was acting so arrogant because he believed in this.’

As the personal letter of Chief Bodyguard Ak Ho-gun, it couldn’t be delivered to just anyone.

If there hadn’t been the variable of Beom Gye-wi appearing alone, he wouldn’t have had to go through such a harsh experience.

But when you think about it, it was also the result of their own actions.

If they hadn’t engaged in unnecessary power struggles from the beginning and had revealed the purpose of their visit, they could have entered Muwi without any problems.

But the real problem was from now on.

“Come to think of it, I’m getting pissed?”

Beom Gye-wi erupted in anger from an unexpected place.

“Who does he think he is, daring to tell our Doctor Dan to come and go? Huh? I already don’t have enough time to spend with Doctor Dan. And he’s telling me to share that precious time with some mere mountain bandit leader?”

The Green Forest Bandits, meeting Beom Gye-wi’s gaze, began to tremble like birds hit by arrows.

The presence of Beom Gye-wi, who had unleashed his true killing intent, was terrifying.

Some indescribable, terrifying thing lurking beyond his gaze seemed as if it would swallow them whole at any moment.

Ryung So-mil hurriedly tried to dissuade Beom Gye-wi.

“Senior! Please calm down!”

But Beom Gye-wi was firm.

“No way. If we let these guys go alive like this, they’ll continue to look down on us. Besides, this isn’t Muwi, is it?”

Now that Beom Gye-wi had revealed such a serious killing intent, Ryung So-mil couldn’t do anything more.

He could only feel sorry for the Green Forest Bandits, who were about to face a sudden mass funeral.

But at that moment.

An unexpected lifeline was lowered to them.

“I knew it would be like this.”

Cho Ak-ryang, who had appeared in the area at some point, cast a pathetic gaze at Beom Gye-wi.

“It’s like you’re a child let out by the riverbank; how can you cause trouble every time I take my eyes off you?”

At Cho Ak-ryang’s nagging, Beom Gye-wi glared at Ryung So-mil with a displeased expression.

In response, Ryung So-mil awkwardly avoided his gaze and handed Ak Ho-gun’s letter to Cho Ak-ryang.

“A traitor?”

At Cho Ak-ryang’s question, Ryung So-mil added an explanation.

“His name is Jin Yeong-san. At first, he claimed to be a survivor of the Red Tiger Brigade, but after investigating, we found out he was involved with the Green Forest.”

Cho Ak-ryang nodded and cast his gaze towards Yang Wi-gun.

“Now that I know, go back.”

“Yes? But…….”

Yang Wi-gun hesitated, gauging Beom Gye-wi’s reaction.

Unlike the boorish and headstrong Beom Gye-wi, Cho Ak-ryang seemed capable of conversation.

Moreover, Ak Ho-gun had included an order to arrest Jin Yeong-san and bring him back after delivering the letter.

But the situation was by no means easy.

“Does my word sound like a joke to you?”

Facing Cho Ak-ryang’s ruthless gaze, Yang Wi-gun was left breathless.

He was different from Beom Gye-wi, but he was also an unbelievable monster.

Just meeting his gaze made his vision blur and all the strength drain from his body.

At this moment, Yang Wi-gun deeply felt the advice of the elders of old.

It wasn’t for nothing that they said to look at where you’re going to lie down before stretching your legs [think before you act; consider the consequences].

“I’ll count to three.”

It was then that Beom Gye-wi suddenly opened his mouth.

The Green Forest Bandits, initially puzzled, turned pale at Beom Gye-wi’s subsequent words.

“One.”

“……!”

“Two.”

There was no need to count to three.

The moment he counted to one, most of them began to flee, and by the time he was counting to two, they had already scattered and no one was left in that spot.

“Tsk.”

Cho Ak-ryang sighed at the sight of Beom Gye-wi, who seemed to be regretting it.

“Can’t you think before you act?”

“What did I do!”

Beom Gye-wi, who had been indignant, flinched at Cho Ak-ryang’s subsequent words.

“Do you think I don’t know you? You must have come up with some ridiculous reason to justify tormenting those guys.”

“Th, that’s…….”

Beom Gye-wi, feeling guilty, stammered and turned his head towards Ryung So-mil.

“Was I wrong?”

Ryung So-mil smiled awkwardly with a troubled expression.

Once again, only he was in a difficult situation for no reason.

But soon, he opened his mouth calmly.

“No. You did well.”

Ryung So-mil tried to put on a smile.

“Whatever the reason, there’s no need to readily accept their demands. More than anything, we bought time to assess the situation. I don’t know what’s happening within the Green Forest, but we’ll be able to directly grasp the situation through this Jin Yeong-san. Above all, this incident will instill a sense of vigilance about Muwi in them, so looking at the results alone, I think it was not a bad choice.”

Beom Gye-wi looked at Cho Ak-ryang with a satisfied expression.

“He says so?”

Cho Ak-ryang, who had been staring at Beom Gye-wi, shook his head and turned away.

Beom Gye-wi grinned and looked at Ryung So-mil.

“Hey, Chief Ryung.”

“Yes?”

Ryung So-mil was flustered by Beom Gye-wi’s friendly gaze.

“Good job with the outspoken remarks. Keep doing that!”

“……Thank you.”

Beom Gye-wi lightly patted Ryung So-mil’s shoulder and flew towards Cho Ak-ryang, who was moving away.

Ryung So-mil sighed as he watched the backs of the two people moving away.

He sincerely hoped that he wouldn’t get involved in the problems between them.
