Chapter 88
“A lucky encounter from an errand? Bullshit.”
Cheolmyeongho spurred his horse onward, accelerating at his own pace.
Who could possibly look at a man charging so fiercely and guess he was merely going to buy dumplings and jerky? Moreover, Cheolmyeongho’s appearance was downright menacing, making him look like a messenger from a notorious underworld faction.
The moment Cheolmyeongho dismounted at the inn, he shouted.
“Dumplings! Jerky! Ice candy! Give me everything you’ve got!”
Someone inside the inn replied.
“We don’t have ice candy.”
“Damn it… Just get the dumplings and jerky ready for now!”
Cheolmyeongho mounted his horse again and set out to find Byeongdang, swinging his iron-tipped umbrella like a madman.
“That damn Bingdang!”
Cheolmyeongho raced forward fiercely, glancing at the sparsely scattered inns, when he spotted a low-hanging tree branch ahead. It was an obstacle that could easily injure those traveling on horseback. In that instant, Cheolmyeongho struck the branch with his iron umbrella as he rode past.
Thwack!
The fairly thick branch snapped clean in two with a loud crack.
Cheolmyeongho whipped his head around to look at the broken tree. The satisfying feel was incredible.
“Ha-ha!”
Cheolmyeongho was naturally skilled with his horse. As he increased his speed and lashed out, the weight of the iron-tipped umbrella combined with the Samjae Sword Technique, making him feel its power had doubled.
