The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 131

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟑𝟏: 𝐉𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐢-𝐞𝐫

Yun-ju and Qing Zao ascended to the ground floor empty-handed.

There were over 100 Hwang-doboks following them.

With two Jeok-doboks dead, it was difficult to keep their numbers in check.

They didn’t know who the intruder was, but they had to deal with them quickly and return to Dae-sung.

Something about the chaos below seemed off, making their hearts pound with anxiety.

“Qing Zao, something’s not right.”

“What do you mean?”

“The timing is too perfect.”

“Hmmm, but that shouldn’t be a problem for Dae-sung. If anything, those who incurred his wrath should pray for a swift death.”

“But still. . .”

“Heh-heh, are you saying that you don’t trust in Dae-sung’s abilities?”

“No, never.”

Yun-ju said firmly.

She had seen his strength in countless battles.

When Xiaolong first debuted on the Chinese stage, he didn’t receive much attention.

A hunter who had started out in Korea, he was merely a newbie to China.

That was all anyone had to say about him.

What’s more, China had an abundance of skilled hunters.

No one paid attention to Xiaolong among the Hunters who were all doing the same thing.

Xiaolong started from the bottom in China, just like he did in Korea.

It hadn’t taken long.

In a flash, he had climbed to the top of China’s hunter rankings, defeating countless formidable opponents.

His rise had been meteoric, driven by the ambition of a young hunter.

Xiaolong soon became a rising star Hunter in China, and his momentum never waned.

He joined hands with the political and business circles and gradually conquered the darkness of China.

The only organization that stood up to him was the Triad, but even that huge organization had to succumb to his powerful strength.

All of this happened in less than 10 years.

He was a true winner with immense power.

The Jeok-doboks and Cheong-doboks were those Xiaolong had personally gathered during that time.

He wanted to form a team of a small number of capable individuals, not those with mediocre abilities.

Yun-ju was one of those who had been with Xiaolong the longest.

‘I know that Dae-sung is powerful, but. . . I can’t shake this feeling of unease. Why is my heart pounding so hard?’

An inexplicable anxiety slowed her steps and brought up distracting thoughts.

She was more nervous than when the Triad sent a professional assassin, or when he fought against Yan Leixin, the former rank 2.

Qing Zao and Yun-ju stopped at the hall, which was the midpoint between the underground and ground floors.

They saw dozens of people dressed in Hunter uniforms and suits descending from the ground floor, emitting magical energy.

“What is the meaning of this commotion? This is private property!”

Yun-ju said in a strong, urgent tone.

“We are from the Beijing branch of the 〈HSIU〉. We ask for your cooperation. These are members of the 〈Chinese Hunter Association〉.”

A man in a Hunter uniform said to her with a grim face, showing her his badge.

‘Why are the HSIU and the Hunter Association here. . .?’

Yun-ju glanced at Qing Zao. Qing Zao also narrowed his eyes, stroking his long beard.

This was not a simple matter.

They had thought the intruders were just other organizations that held a grudge against Xiaolong, but they hadn’t expected a raid by a national agency.

Moreover, the HSIU and the Hunter Association were agencies that were not even under the control of Zhou Lin, the Standing Committee member who was fourth in the Chinese hierarchy.

For them to conduct a raid together. . . it was clear that they had come with a purpose.

Yun-ju carefully prepared to step back without the other side noticing.

Something was going wrong.

Qing Zao noticed Yun-ju’s plan and took a step forward.

While he and the Hwang-doboks stalled for time, Yun-ju had to evacuate Dae-sung.

“Heh-heh, unfortunately, you will need our master’s permission to enter. You will have to wait a moment.”

“That’s not possible maam. This building is now under the jurisdiction of the HSIU, according to international law. If you do not comply, you will be forcibly taken.”

“Who do you think you’re talking to, you little punk?”

“I don’t know. And I don’t need to know.”

Pazzzzzzzzzzz. . .!

A heavy magical energy surged from Qing Zao’s dantian, who was known as Dae-sung’s right-hand man.

“How dare you speak arrogantly in front of Qing Zao!!”

“All units, prepare for battle.”

At the command of Ryu Ha-sung, the Team Leader of the 〈HSIU Beijing Branch〉, the other Hunters assumed a defensive posture.

Qing Zao’s body shot forward, and the two forces collided.

The hall became a battlefield in an instant, with Hunters using their skills and magic.

Flashes of light and severed limbs flew through the air.

Yun-ju quickly turned and ran towards Dae-sung in the midst of the chaos.

She had to get him out of here as soon as possible.

But an unexpected opponent appeared in front of her, blocking her movement.

Of all people. . .!

“Please step aside. I’m busy.”

“You’re the one who put me in this ‘Status Ailment’ state, you b*tch?”

“. . .So what? I’m busy, so let’s talk later.”

“I’m busy too. So let’s finish this quickly.”

Yun-ju bit her lip and glared at her opponent.

Empress Kang Yeo-hwa.

“Let me put you under my technique again. This time, I’ll make you bring me the head of your great master.”

“. . .You really need to be prepared for the consequences.”

Kang Yeo-hwa chewed on her chin and glared at her.

‘This woman’s martial arts are dangerous.’

Yun-ju had witnessed Xiaolong and Kang Yeo-hwa fighting from the side.

Despite the clear difference in skill, Kang Yeo-hwa’s close combat skills were not inferior to Xiaolong’s.

In fact, in terms of the perfection of her technique, Kang Yeo-hwa was a bit better.

Yun-ju pushed aside her anxiety and activated her skill to defeat the opponent in front of her first.

[Dream Flower Acupuncture: Dancing Marionette]

The nine needles that appeared in her hand flew in all directions with quick hand movements.

Thud! Thud thud thud!

The Hunters from the national agency, including the Hwang-doboks, were pierced by the needles without resistance, and their expressions changed in an instant.

A strange magical energy emanated from the needles, and the people’s consciousness was cut off.

They slumped like puppets and stood there blankly.

Their appearances even began to change gradually, becoming like wooden dolls.

“Kill that woman.”

Yun-ju’s trigger words were uttered.

The nine people who had become puppets charged towards Kang Yeo-hwa with their eyes glowing red.

━Clack clack!!

━Click click click!

The creepy sound of the dolls’ heads hitting each other.

“Let’s go.”

A fierce magical energy burned like flames, enveloping Kang Yeo-hwa’s body.

Her body kicked off the ground and shot towards the puppets.

“The puppets under the influence of my skill possess several times the strength and durability of an average human.”

Yun-ju poured all her magical energy into the needles and smiled smugly.

No matter how strong the Empress was, she wouldn’t be able to handle nine puppets.

The puppets that had received the command didn’t feel pain or fear.

They were just killing machines meant to kill people, nothing more, nothing less.

“Oh, really?”

Kang Yeo-hwa’s uppercut kick was aimed at the puppet’s head.

Thuddd!!!!!!!!

Despite the fact that even Qing Zao’s full force couldn’t break through the puppet’s skull, it shattered like an overripe pomegranate.

“Ugh!! What is this monstrosity?!”

Yun-ju’s body swayed because of the magical energy that had suddenly disappeared.

The magical energy that had been lost when the puppet collapsed had vanished in an instant.

Yun-ju felt sweat running down her back at the overwhelming destructive power that surpassed her expectations.

Nothing was going as she had planned.

Instead of answering, Kang Yeo-hwa raised her magical energy and punched the approaching puppets.

The puppet that was hit in the side had its upper body explode, and the puppet that was kicked had its legs broken horribly.

“Ugh! This monster!!”

Yun-ju realized that the puppets were useless and released her skill, then activated it again and threw dozens of needles.

Papapapapapa!

However, the needles were blocked by the magical energy shield that the Empress had erected, and not a single one pierced it.

“In Korea, you definitely. . .”

“That’s because Xiaolong was having a tantrum and was reckless.”

Kang Yeo-hwa smiled, twisting her lips, and kicked Yun-ju.

Bangggggggggg!!!!!!

“Keugh. . .!”

Yun-ju’s body flew over ten meters and crashed into the wall.

Blood gushed from her mouth.

“Noooooooooo!!!”

Qing Zao shouted at the sight.

His appearance, with the veins on his forehead bulging and magical energy gathering, resembled a fierce bear.

Ryu Ha-sung, who had been fighting one-on-one, was panting and trying to find a way to break the situation.

‘If what Hunter Min Siwoo said is true, that woman must be Kang Yeo-hwa. Since she’s holding onto a Jeok-dobok, it would be fair if we took Qing Zao from our side.’

However, much to Ryu Ha-sung’s dismay, Qing Zao turned his attention to the Empress instead.

Ryu Ha-sung couldn’t react in time to the sudden movement.

“B-Be careful!!”

The moment his urgent cry crossed the battlefield,

Paaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!

‘Uh. . . . . . .”

A magical energy arrow was embedded in Qing Zao’s forehead.

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Jin Shi-er, the only physical weapon among the skills Xiaolong used.

It was a relic that had been used to guide Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Heaven Equal to Heaven, to the right path after he wore it on his head, but it was applied slightly differently to Xiaolong.

A cheat-like skill that unlocked all of the body’s limits.

Of course, in exchange for gaining that much power, the side effects were also considerable.

After using Jin Shi-er, there was a 12-hour magical energy restriction for every minute.

It was a technique that caused a rampage in the present by using the safety and vitality of the future, so Xiaolong rarely used Jin Shi-er.

Besides, whenever he saw this hairpin, he always felt pain. . . .

“You still have Jin Shi-er?”

“It serves as a reminder and a reflection on my foolish past. It’s also a constant struggle to never forget that day.”

A magical energy and aura that overwhelmed his previous momentum overflowed from Xiaolong like a waterfall.

Everyone at the scene except Siwoo was shocked and their jaws dropped at the overwhelming aura.

Even those who had believed they could subdue Xiaolong until just now felt nothing but despair.

A huge flood of momentum.

Siwoo cracked his neck.

【𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐝’𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲. 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐭. 𝐇𝐞’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐞𝐧𝐝.】

Where did you learn to talk like that?

【𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐢 𝐃𝐚𝐞-𝐬𝐨𝐨.】

“Hey, Choi Dae-soo isn’t my friend.”

Siwoo clicked his tongue.

But he couldn’t disagree with that statement.

He had said he would climb to ‘Misteltein’, but it wasn’t an empty promise.

“I’m going, Master.”

Xiaolong’s momentum surged like a wave, and then a flash of light burst out.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng!!

It was just a punch, but an explosion occurred in the middle of the stadium, distorting the surrounding atmosphere and making the ground disappear.

Xiaolong’s eyes were bloodshot and his lips were curled up.

When he used Jin Shi-er, he had never attacked a second time.

That was because everyone had died instantly from the first attack.

“Are you hurt?”

However, that didn’t apply to Siwoo.

Xiaolong’s face hardened at the unbelievable situation.

“It’s too narrow here, so shall we go upstairs and fight?”

With Siwoo’s playful voice,

Bangggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!

Xiaolong’s body shot up, piercing through the ceiling of the building and into the sky.
