Warrior Baek Dong Soo (Musa Baek Dong Soo / 무사 백동수)

Today, from among Joseon's masters, only the best of the best will fight here!

Come on, put down your betting money!

This is not child's play. Be careful.

Do not worry.

Smiling, huh! You would be smiling here?

Today, will be your memorial day.

Isn't he the Sword Saint's disciple?

Isn't it Baek Dong Su?

There will be somewhat of an interesting competition for sure.

Stop, stop.

Hitting the groin gets a losing penalty.

Then you should have told me in advance.

Ah, everywhere else on the body is fine...

but hitting the groin is not! It's a penalty loss.

Victory.

-=Baek Ho : can mean White Tiger=- . This time, it's between fighter Baek Ho who had taken in the divine air of Mt. Baekdu,

and bounty hunter Jang Tae San!

This time it's a decisive match, right?

You surely have to win.

Face off!

Aunt, aunt, that is Dong Su.

Hey, Baek Dong Su! Here, here!

Aigoo, keep quiet, I can also see.

Hey, here...

Aigoo, our Dong Su! What a dashing figure he is.

It is that man Baek Dong Su out there.

The gambling house's challenger is Sword Saint's disciple?

Am I seeing something not quite fitting?

The opponent is too weak. This won't be interesting.

So then, would you want to go up against him?

I'll go up against him once.

Just for this match, we have got a special invitee.

It's been quite a while.

Can you move aside for a bit?

Then, I'll step aside for a bit.

What is the deal?

What would be the deal?

Don't you have the same reasons as mine?

You will disappoint a good friend, I would say.

Between you and me, whom do you think one would bet money on?

Well, then whom do you want to bet on?

I can't act like I don't know the good friend.

I am betting on Baek Dong Su.

Really? Then I will just...

Begin.

Baek Dong Su, you have to win.

It is a well-matched dragon-tiger fight! Isn't it?

What is this? How is that man be this powerful?

He is the Japanese who wreaked havoc in the palace before.

He was also part of plot to assassinate His Highness the Prince Heir.

What?

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

Why are you like this?

Dong Su!

Aigoo, really, how can they say that there are no tickets?

I said there are no seats left!

I won't be a big deal for us, right? Lets' go back.

Aish... This really bothers me.

If you guys want to go inside, go ahead.

Aigoo, thank you very much.

That... couldn't be that weird guy, right?

Let's go inside.

Hey, we have tickets here.

Hey, let's go inside...

Dong Su!

You can't do that.

Why not?

Why is he like that?

He must have been drugged.

Drugged, you think?

These people must be on to their practical jokes again!

In a duel where they bet their lives, you mean they would play a joke?

Take a look over there.

This is a gambling house strewn with flesh and blood.

One can make a lot of money.

One can also lose everything in a hurry.

Don't you think it's a mistake to look for a fair fight?

We should just enjoy the fight, that's all.

By chance, do you still have some sympathy left for that man Baek Dong Su?

It is not sympathy or anything, but...

If it is not a fair fight, it's really not something to get excited about.

Really? Then you wait a bit and see.

When that Baek Dong Su fellow is at the doorstep of his afterlife,

it will get to be a lot of fun.

I see that you are weak in fitness.

Then let's start from now.

Let's do that!

Dong Su, you know what kind of man you are?

After enduring so many difficulties and obstacles,

you have come this far, right?

Whether it's a powerful army, or the lord of hell,

- Dong Su. - nobody can block your path.

Your Highness.

How did this happen to you? Your Highness!

Father.

Get up. You are Sa Goeng hyeongnim's child.

Sword Saint hyeongnim's disciple. Aren't you Baek Dong Su?

Dong Su, aren't you one who doesn't know how to give up?

Aren't you unafraid of anything in this world?

You can do it.

Aren't you Baek Dong Su?

Dong Su!

I am the one to become Joseon's best swordsman, Baek Dong Su.

Aren't you Joseon's best swordsman, Baek Dong Su?

Dong Su!

Are you all right?

You did it, right?.

What are you talking about?

He surely must have a long life.

You drugged him?

It is like you can't trust me.

But don't they also say, "prepare for anything"?

It was men putting their lives on the line.

Please don't do this in the future.

But, I wonder why the Sky Lord didn't come.

He will be fine, right?

He is sleeping. He must be really tired from earlier.

Won't you be all right, Baek Dong Su?

Why?

Afraid that Dong Su is still alive?

If he is alive, Un, you want to kill him with your hands?

Don't give me grief!

I lost my mother and father.

I don't want to lose Dong Su too.

So, I plead you not to give me grief.

You and I are exactly alike.

Dong Su,

has always been my friend.

You and I are exactly alike.

How is it?

That... That is...

My energy has really declined, right?

One cannot fight time.

It is because the caring from me was inadequate.

How can this be your fault?

Your love and devotion are really moving, Prince Heir.

His Majesty is very happy seeing you like this. I am also very happy.

Isn't this how it should be, Your Majesty?

Father.

Things cannot be delayed anymore.

Feeling better now?

Dong Su.

Come on in.

Is your body feeling better?

For making everybody worry, I'm sorry.

You stupid fellow. But still, it is a relief that you didn't get any serious wounds.

People that have won three rounds have all disappeared.

Yes.

Today, it was really amazing. You did well.

But, what exactly does this big gambling house do?

What does it really do? Well, it's just what it is.

Just fighting, kicking, hitting... That's all.

But, initially this place wasn't on fire like this.

Then a nobleman government official laid his hands on this place.

Naturally it became pretty big.

Fighters and still more fighters!

The fighters who became famous here were all given money and taken away.

So it is almost like a market for fighters.

The fighters who disappeared were all bought by His Excellency Hong Dae Ju.

His Excellecy Hong Dae Ju is picking up fighters who can die with nobody caring.

That's right.

The Defense Minister is raising his own private army.

We need a bit more of specific evidence.

Is there some way to get it?

To follow His Excellency Hong Dae Ju's moves may be the best way to confirm.

Will you be fine with that?

Recently people from His Excellency Hong Dae Ju's home bought a big quantity of yeoncheol.

The market is sold out on yeoncheol.

That yeoncheol is clearly for making weapons.

But we cannot track its location.

Once you win three rounds at the gambling house, they will send you there.

So there is no need to worry.

Some information has come from the Shadowless World.

At Sulsi, the Noron officials will join for a meeting at the entertainment house.

The information is that Her Majesty the Queen will also attend that.

At a meeting of the Noron Lords, there will be Her Majesty also?

The military power of the palace is in His Excellency Hong Dae Ju's control,

and control of the Noron's power is in the Queen's hands.

Taking the opportunity to show my face there, would not be a bad idea.

Who is it?

Let's go and look.

Baek Dong Su.

Un!

Go back. This isn't a matter for you to get into.

Then you? Is it for you to get into?

It is not something to argue.

Do me a favor. Go back quickly.

I'm not leaving. If it's a problem, Un, you leave.

You think your mighty martial arts can stand up to these people's power?

I beg you to go back.

Even if you come out, there's nothing that can change.

Then what's there for you to do?

But then...

With your sword that much blood-stained, you must be getting all you wished for!

Baek Dong Su.

Then what has that even-handed sword of yours done?

In the end it couldn't save anyone.

To those on the way to death, should I justify your helplessness?

Shut up!
