Gang Ryong (강룡, Gang Lyong) is the tavern delivery boy and the final disciple of the "Heavenly Destroyer," Dokgo Ryong. The villagers of Yellow Dragon Mountain also know him as Chief Gang. He is married to Song Yerin and they have a daughter, Myeong.[1] His father was Gang Yoon, the final leader of the Haidong Sword Clan.

Appearance

Ryong is a short, plump young man with long black hair that he ties into a ponytail and pale brown eyes. His general appearance is very unassuming leading many to underestimate him. He also generally wears a jolly and bright expression on his face.

Personality

Ryong is a cheerful guy who rarely has a frown on his face. He has a strong sense of justice and is always willing to step in and help those who look like they are in trouble; he once forsook sleep for several days to make sure the Elder was safe from an assassin. While he initially seemed to be somewhat naïve, finding himself interrupting and getting engaged in the middle of fights without knowing the situation, this is merely him obfuscating his true nature as an intimidatingly powerful gosu; a few people have experienced Ryong's incredibly intimidating murderous intent, with one likening him to a demon and a great tiger.[2] Nameless comments that Ryong's overwhelmingly intimidating battle aura and fighting spirit completely defies belief.

Ryong tries not to kill his opponents unless the situation forces him to do so. This peaceful attitude has clashed with the supposed mission given to him by his late master: killing the Four Heavenly Kings. After experiencing what his master was truly like before his downfall during his fight with Mak Sapyeong, Ryong's attitude towards people in the murim and the opponents he faced began to change; during his skirmish with Ze Wungang and Nameless, Ryong truly realised that killing the Four Heavenly Kings actually wasn't what his master had wanted for him and that he had chosen to do so of his own volition, although he had since become disillusioned with the path he had chosen.[3] As a result, he has become more vicious, merciless and apathetic in his actions, mirroring that of the original Heavenly Destroyer.

History

After his father Gang Yoon was killed, his pregnant mother disappeared and later sought safety with Dokgo Ryong, who had been betrayed and reduced to living as a hermit. There, she gave birth to him and passed away not long after. He was then adopted by Dokgo Ryong who proceeded to train him in the ways of the Divine Heavenly Destruction Techniques as well as prepare him to take revenge on the ones who betrayed him.

Plot

Intro

After Dokgo Ryong passed away, Gang Ryong immediately headed to the Middle Kingdom to carry out his will, equipped with several weapons on his back. He cried out that he will avenge his master and appease his angry soul before Song Yerin, who served him dumplings stated that they're dead. This left him in shock.


Between these events...

The young man befriended the citizens of a village but eventually had to leave as he was looking for someone, meanwhile the villagers urged him to stay. However, during his journey, Gang looked back and after noticing smoke coming from the village's location, he rushed back to it.

At the burning village, the young man eavesdropped as the killers talked among themselves about how they interrogated their victims on the whereabouts of Gang before they killed them only to find out that the young man had already left by the time they arrived. Then the killers became aware of his presence and Gang gloomily kneeled down before the corpses of the villagers. Recognizing Gang as the Heavenly Destroyer's disciple, the killers all charged him only to be brutally slaughtered. Later, he had his second meeting with Song, and she sat on top of a rock and questioned who he was and why he was crying as he desperately tried to wash his hands of blood. She then offered to erase those painful memories for him and it is assumed that Gang agreed to it.[4]


One year later, having hired Gang Ryong, Song Chohyang told him to go deliver the dumplings to a group that had already left. When he does so, he found that his customers were being assaulted by a gang of thugs. He took them down before returning to the tavern. He was immediately called out for fighting by Chohyang after she saw his bloody nose, but Gang fruitlessly tried to deny it. Yerin then commented that he should at least win if he was going to fight, but Gang continued to deny everything.

At some point, the renowned assassin, Myo Cheong, was hired by a woman to kill Song Chohyang for wooing her husband. At the tavern, Chohyang scolded Gang for eating leftovers before telling him and Yerin that she was seeing someone and would be back the next day. After making his last delivery in town, Gang saw Chohyang and hid away, but also noticed a strange man following her. Later that night, a dressed up Chohyang and her date flirt while Myo Cheong the assassin watched on in disgust. Myo Cheong readied to kill her but Gang took him down, inadvertently destroying the eatery in the process. With all the people climbing on board a ship, Chohyang bid her date farewell but he failed to recognise her because her makeup had been washed off. Chohyang attacked Gang in annoyance and threatened to tell Yerin what Gang had been up to until he bribed her with a well-aged wine.

Rock-Paper-Scissors

Gang delivered the dumplings to Lord Nam who gratefully over-paid him, telling him it was a small donation for the poor. Gang then gave Lord Nam some ginseng from the local ginseng digger and then told him that the villagers always ask how he was doing even though they owe him nothing.

After returning to the tavern, Gang found out that Lord Nam had been killed by the White Skulls bandits. He then hurried back to Lord Nam's manor and upon seeing the aftermath of Lord Nam's death, he went to the White Skulls hideout and took care of them. Having been left a wreck by Gang, Wang Ahk and the White Skulls were captured. It was mentioned that Wang was in an unrecognizable state if not for the mole on his head and was also muttering constantly about turning himself in.

Song Yerin

After spooking away some customers, Yerin overheard talk about the Hong Family manor being haunted by the spirit of Lord Hong Daun. Bribing Gang Ryong into taking her there, they head off and eventually arrived at the manor. Leaving Gang to his devices, Yerin found a secret chest and told Lord Hong that she'd take care of it. With Gang finding Yerin again and the manor's haunting having been solved, they headed back to the tavern with Gang learning that Yerin wasn't Chohyang's birth daughter. With Gang opening up the chest and getting engrossed in the tomes inside, Yerin came over and caught him reading erotic illustrations. Taking away the tomes and burning them, she exclaimed that all men were the same.

Soh Jinhong, the Rosy-Cheeked Sword Fiend

The Elder rested on a bench as he returned from the Bogwang Temple and Ryong passed by. Walking through, Soh Jinhong attempted to complete his assassination of "Jang Cheong, the Thunderlord" but Gang Ryong intercepted him, much to Jinhong's shocked incredulity.

Later a temple, The Elder converses with Soh Jinhong with what knowledge he had, noting he was not "Jang Cheong". Refusing to be swayed by the monk's words, Jinhong got ready to cut him down until he sensed Gang Ryong's presence behind him. Rushing out to confront him, Jinhong and Ryong began fighting. It came to an end when Ryong hit Soh Jinhong off of a cliff into a river. He continued to keep an eye on the Elder, having not slept for days.

After finishing a delivery and was heading home, he spotted Soh Jinhong. Launching himself at the swordsman, he told him he wasn't getting away this time. Eventually Ryong won his fight with Soh Jinhong, and reminiscedon his training with his master, wondering how many more gosu were out there.

The Baekma Valley

At night, Gha Woobok was startled by Gang as the latter was on his way home, and the two had a brief conversation with Woobok thanking Gang for everything he had done.

The next day, Woobok's son came running to the tavern, eyes full of tears, and informed Gang Ryong that his father had been taken by the Baekma Valley. Gang Ryong then raced to the Baekma Valley, causing havoc in it, and taking down everyone who got in his way. In once such fight with Dang Gan, the collision between their two mighty techniques carved a massive hole in the ground. It was noticed by the Lady of the Baekma Valley and she rushed towards the scene of battle. Arriving, she saw a large hole in the ground, with Gang Ryong in the centre looking over what appeared to be Dang Gan's ravaged body. She questioned whether Dang Gan was dead or not, to which Ryong replied that no one can take on a Divine Heavenly Destruction technique head on and live. On hearing this, she proclaimed that she didn't want Ryong to be her enemy. As she flared her ki intimidatingly, Dang Gan suddenly rose and tried to attack Ryong from behind, only for the internal damage he had sustained to take full effect, putting him down for good. Yang Jeonghak then arrived at the scene and proclaimed that Dang Gan was still alive! However before Jeonghak could finish his words, he and most others present were pinned down by Ryong's immense ki aura, proclaiming that he gave no one permission to move.

Ryong demanded they bring out Gha Woobok. With the Lady of the Baekma Valley asking if he thought Woobok was dead, Ryong stated he does not trust their words any longer and demanded they bring Woobok out before exerting his crushing aura even further. The Lady wondered if she would have to take action but Woobok called out to Ryong from above asking why he was there before angrily roughing up Hwang Gyu for answers. Ryong merely replied that his wife and kids were worried and that they should go home and then he relaxed his aura.

Days go by, and then in a meeting with the Lady of the Baekma Valley (Jin Garyeong), she told him that they found one of the people Ryong was looking for. However she mentioned that he would have to pay more if they were to find out more details, irritating Ryong immensely. Ryong refused to pay another coin extra without more information but Garyeong humorously managed to coerce him into agreeing.

Doh Gyeom, the Iron Lion

After Old Man Hwang informed him and Chohyang that Song Yerin got kidnapped, he rushed off to save her. Gang eventually arrived in time to save from Yerin from a killing blow, and fought Doh Gyeom, the person who tried to kill her. After a titanic battle, Gang managed to incapacitate Doh Gyeom.

Yerin finished ridding the environment of the spirits as Ryong returned. Silently looking on solemnly, Yerin noted that people died, probably because of her. With Ryong asking if she needed a minute, Yerin brushed it off and the two finally leave. On their way, Yerin asked what happened to Gyeom, and Ryong nervously replied that they sorted it out "amicably."

Stirring

In the tavern, the customers chatter about the Sun Moon Gang's fall while Ryong and Chohyang looked on in boredom. Later on, as Ryong was clearing up, he heard the hooting of an owl and alertly turned around to see the bird staring at him. Going to their meeting place, he wondered where Garyeong was but then suddenly felt an unmistakably familiar sensation in the distance in front of him. Remembering what his late master told him, Ryong destructively bursted through a wall and collided with the source of the sensation. Knocking the opponent back, Ryong continued his offence until the person revealed themselves to be none other than Gha Woobok. Shocked at the revelation, Woobok expressed his curiosity at whose ki he stole.

Sitting opposite each other, Woobok revealed his recent escapade and also that the leader of the "Naeseonhyang" could be one of them. Woobok says he couldn't tell for sure since he couldn't get a good look at his face and all he could get was a bit of his ki. Saying it was now down to Ryong to determine whose ki it was, Woobok noted that Ryong was already sure.

After receiving supplies from Garyeong at the Baekma Valley, he returned to the tavern and asked for an extended leave of absence. Yerin then gave him some food and money. All set, Ryong headed off on his journey.

Wild Dogs

On his journey in search of the Naeseonhyang, Gang Ryong encountered a medicine pedlar being assaulted and he saved him. In gratitude, the pedlar offered Ryong a meal and the latter accepted after finding out that the pedlar knew how to get to the Naeseonhyang.

Arriving and then eating dinner at the pedlar's home with his kids, the pedlar introduced himself as Wang Eungi. He and Ryong conversed with Eungi revealing his history with the kids, his own past and his connection to "him." With Gang Ryong making it clear that he knew what Wang Eungi was up to and the latter noted that he would deny Ryong passage to the Naeseonhyang.

Going outside, the two begin to fight. During the fight, the bandits that assaulted Eungi came back for revenge and burned down his house. Gang subdued Wang Eungi with a Divine Heavenly Destruction technique before saving the kids in the house.

On his way, Gang Ryong encountered an imprisoned man on a cart who asks to be freed. Ryong ignored him and carried on walking and soon the cart goes by. Walking up the hill and seeing the old men from the cart struggling to push it up, Ryong lendt a hand and was given a ride in return. Travelling with them across the river, they offered Ryong a meal in gratitude and he follows along.

Reaching their stronghold, Ryong sat with the old men to eat and silently overheard them talking about their boss coming personally to stop someone who was going after the Naeseonhyang while outside, their boss had returned. Thanking them for the meal, Ryong got ready to leave when suddenly the door opens and Sa Paecheon shouts out the Gang Ryong was the man they were after. Ordering them all to kill him, the old men turn on Ryong, forcing him to defend himself.

Gang eventually subdued the old man, prompting Sa Paecheon to enter the fray. After a long and arduous battle, Gang Ryong came out on top and killed his opponent. Gang Ryong lost consciousness as the area around them began to collapse from the strain of their titanic battle.

Gwi Yeong

Ryong woke up dizzily and wondered where he was, looking around at the beaten shack he had been resting in. Elsewhere, Ryong's saviour looked down at the shack with fervent eyes. The next day, Miruk goes off to where Ryong was resting and finally encountered his former leader's disciple while the boy was awake. Noting Ryong's recuperative powers, Ryong realized Miruk was actually Gwi Yeong. Gwi Yeong confirmed Ryong's suspicions and asked him what of it, asking whether Ryong would avenge his master there and now.

With both moving away to a deserted area within the forest, they fought after a short conversation. However, after a few clashes, Ryong looked on in shock and disgust when a seemingly tired Gwi Yeong began heavily coughing up blood. Shortly after continuing, the warriors of the Naeseonhyang showed up to protect their lord. The villagers also arrived, throwing rocks at him. With them all reluctant to leave without him, Gwi Yeong silently communicatesd with Ryong, asking if they could finish this another time; Ryong gave him an ultimatum of three days.

In the evening, the guards of the Naeseonhyang track Ryong down and challenged him. Gang Ryong took them down and Gwi Yeong arrived soon after. He goaded Gwi Yeong into starting the fight by threatening to massacre the innocent people of the Naeseonhyang. After seeing hallucinations of Wang Eungi and the peoplef rom the Naeseonhyang village holding him back, he frustratedly yelled out that they knew nothing before he laid waste to the area with one huge attack. As the debris settled, a frustrated and teary-eyed Ryong said aloud to his late master that he couldn't come to kill Gwi Yeong and didn't know what to do at a time like this, before walking off.

Season 2 Intro

Up in the mountains of the Sage Forest, Ryong thanked his hosts for their hospitality as he headed off again. As Goo Hwi watched him leave, he turned to see his old friends seeing Ryong off as well.

Later, Gang Ryong had a run in with the Tooth Killer. At the tavern-on-the-fork, the news of the Tooth Killer's capture and incarceration was talked about, with the manner that the Tooth Killer was found being likened to Wang Ahk's capture.

Gang Ryong returned back to the tavern, much to the pleasure of the village folk in the establishment. Later, Ryong met up with Jin Garyeong and they discussed what he had experienced at the Naeseonhyang with regards to the Four Heavenly Kings.

Mak Sapyeong

Gang Ryong participated in the Baekma Valley's plan to take on Mak Sapyeong. He faked his capture and had a decoy go in his place. When Sapyeong discovered their deception, Ryong entered the fray and fought Sapyeong. He eventually killed his opponent, with a colossal destructive sphere of energetic ki, razing a titanic portion of the environment away in the process.

Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect

With the recent incident passing, everything seemingly returned to normal.

At some point, Ze Wungang furiously chased after Nameless on horseback after the latter casually revealed his intentions to ignore his orders and go after Gang Ryong. However, upon arriving near the tavern, Wungang ended up getting into a battle with Ryong. Killing Wungang, he focused his attention on Nameless and defeated him in combat as well. Lying defeated, Nameless recalled his defeat at the hands of Hyeol Bi and informed Ryong that only death awaited him if he challenged the Black Dragon King. Getting what he needed from Nameless, Gang Ryong left but doesn't get too far before he succumbed to his grievous injuries and passed out. Heuk Lan brought Gang Ryong back to their headquarter, and comically nursed him back to health. After Gang regained consciousness, he returned back to the tavern-on-the-fork and told Chohyang and Yerin that he'd be leaving again.

Near the Sky Gorge Mountain, Goo Hwi and Yongbi made their way toward Hyeol Bi's position and unexpectedly Gang Ryong showed up, and both parties wondered what the other was doing there. Gang convinced the elders to let him fight Hyeol Bi and confronted the Black Dragon King. He killed Hyeol Bi but the latter came back to life with Demonic Resurrection stronger than ever, and then overwhelmed Gang with his new-found powers. The River Dragon Armour, Heuk Lan, and Gha Woobok saved him and then tried to bring him to safety. Hyeol Bi killed Woobok but then had to return to his base at Hwan Sa's behest. Then Hwang Zu and Gwak Sojong was ordered to pursue Heuk Lan and capture Gang. After cornering the girls from the Bewitching Flowers, Gang woke up and slaughtered them before leaving after seeing Woobok's corpse.

Gang Ryong then killed every warrior of the Revived Heavenly Destruction Sect that got in his way and made it to their headquarters. There, he found that the Doh Gyeom, Soh Jinhong, and Jin Garyeong had been defeated by Hyeol Bi. He clashed with Hyeol Bi once again but was still unable to defeat him due to his opponent's use of the Dan. Eventually, the River Dragon Armour convinced Gang to unleash the Dan it implanted in him, granting him strength to take overwhelm Hyeol Bi. After using an immensely powerful attack, he ended up inside the Sky Gorge Mountain. Inside, he encountered Goo Hwi and ended up fighting him since the Dan allowed Hwan Sa to alter his memories and turned him against the Sage Forest elders. However, Song Yerin arrived soon after and freed him from Hwan Sa's control, and restoring his memories.

Gang Ryong then confronted Hwan Sa himself and eventually killed him. He then focused his attention on fighting Okcheonbi. Gang Ryong ended up getting rid of Okcheonbi once and for all by consuming him with the Dan. Then going to an unknown location, Gang dug Woobok's body out of the ground and revived him using the Dan.

Returning home, Song Yerin and Gang Ryong watched Gha Woobok happily reunite with his family while the Bewitching Flowers secretly observed from a distance, wondering why he was alive. Gang then turned and bowed to them from a distance.

Loose Ends

One year later, Gang Ryong paid respects to the graves of his mother and master, with the River Dragon Armour nearby. The armour told him that it was a good idea to put them side by side since they were close like daughter and father, and in that location in the valley, sunlight reached there for a few hours. At that, Gang commented that in the faint memory he saw, his mother and master really felt like a daughter and father. The armour then told him to come by more often, and mentioned that in the past, it just wanted to be left alone but now being alone was boring and hard to get used to. After the armour asked about the outside world, Gang turned to speak to it and stopped mid-sentence when he saw that the armor had reverted to a dormant egg-shaped form. Gang said he would come back another time as he leave.

As Gang made his way back home, he was suddenly attacked by Hwan Sa but the young man easily broke free of the illusion and questioned who was behind it. Yang Jeonghak humorously revealed he was behind the illusion but Gang charged up for an attack, seeing no humor in it. Jeonghak desperately attempted to remind Gang he was friendly but failed, paying the price for his practical joke. Then accompanying Gang Ryong, Jeonghak revealed the truth about his background as well as the truth surrounding Hwan Sa and the Saintly Celestial Maiden, noting that Song Yerin had no blood relations to the Spirit Lord. Jeonghak then proceeded to reveal to Gang Ryong everything about Dokgo Ryong's past, starting from his youth all the way to his final moments with Gang's mother. Then they returned to the tavern-at-the-fork and Gang Ryong was surrounded by Gha Woobok's kids, informing him that they were moving into a large house since Woobok was earning a lot of money now. Gang Ryong then met up with Song Yerin, who was pregnant with his child.

Five years later, Gang Ryong was seen delivering the routine dumpling order to Myeongjeong. Returning to the tavern-at-the-fork, Gang addressed Song Chohyang (in makeup) as "mother-in-law" but quickly corrected to "sister" when she ferociously glared at him. She then left and he entered the tavern, greeting Song Yerin before leaving for another delivery. Making his way to an area inside the forest, Gang Ryong called out to his clients. At that, the girls from the Bewitching Flowers dropped their camouflage and retrieved the food. Heuk Lan then gave Gang one of the baskets of dumplings, noting that she ordered it specifically for him. Salivating, Gang mentioned that he loved her for doing that for him and upon hearing those words, Heuk Lan fainted. Later at the Baekma Valley, Gang Ryong arrived to deliver dumplings and expressed his discontent with having to deliver them all the way to her instead of having them picked up at the entrance. He then had a short talk with Doh Gyeom and told him to visit as Song Chohyang and Song Yerin missed him, before leaving to see Jinhong after being informed of his presence in the Valley. Meeting Soh Jinhong inside a room, Gang Ryong asked the swordsman if he had any plans for the future and revealed that he was recruiting another deliveryman. Then with Gang insinuating there was no pay, Jinhong unleashed an attack on him. Gang evaded it by jumping out while calling out that he would see him at the interview.

Later at night, Gang Ryong and Song Yerin finished their shift and goes to Gha Woobok's home to pick up their daughter. Soon after, two men are walking through the forest and had a conversation about a rumor of a monster in the area and that it could be flying above them. At that, Gang Ryong was seen jumping great distances in the air, carrying his wife and daughter home.

Powers & Abilities

Having learned everything about the twelve Divine Heavenly Destruction techniques, Gang Ryong is an extremely powerful combatant, both unarmed and when wielding a weapon; he was able to fight a high-level swordsman on equal footing with nothing but the old wooden staff he was travelling with.[5] Ryong also appears to know basic recovery techniques, being able to analyse and fix the injuries of an injured martial artist.[6] Ryong's evasive movements have been noted to be "weird"; while it looks like he is getting hit by an attack, he actually dodges at the very last moment.[7] It is unknown whether Ryong does this on purpose, whether his movements are instinctual or if they are movements of the Divine Heavenly Destruction style. When he unleashed the Dan inside him, his strength was boosted even further and it granted him an immense healing factor, being able to regenerate even the most grievous injuries.

Immense Inner Ki: He has been noted as having great inner ki, being able to drastically increase the physical properties of an old wooden staff enabling Ryong to combat Soh Jinhong's sword, with the latter being unable to cut through it for the majority of the fight.[5] Woobok further comments on the sheer volume of ki that Ryong possesses, wondering if it was even possible for someone of Ryong's age to be able to possess such a high level of ki based on training alone.[8] Ryong's ki prowess also extends to being able to put up reflective ki barriers in order to block and mitigate the damage he would incur from powerful attacks.[9][10] Gang's Inner ki, when released, creates tremendous amounts of pressure and force. Merely by releasing was he able to subdue a large squad of the Baekma valley, rendering them immobile and rupturing the ground beneath his feet. The sheer amount of Ki he possesses is enough to destroy a large portion of a fortress, leaving nothing but a crater and completely obliterate the surrounding huts to nothing but shards of wood. His master also transferred all of the inner ki he had accumulated in life over to him.[11][12]

Immense Physical Strength: Ryong is much more physically powerful than he superficially appears, possessing absurd levels of physical strength. Being able to destroy great cliff faces and raze large chunks of the earth with single strikes.[6][5] He can further augment his physical strength with his ki, allowing him to produce devastating strikes, with immense power behind them. Each strike releasing shockwaves that shatter the surrounding structures upon impact, destroying buildings and the ground alike, leaving nothing but destruction.

Immense Physical Speed: He is quick and deceptively light on his feet, being able to run at great speed without triggering extremely sensitive traps set by fixers.[13] In his first encounter with Soh Jinhong, Ryong managed to intercept the assassin's attack upon the Elder; the movement was so fast, the Elder barely noticed what had occurred.[14] During his most recent fight with Soh Jinhong, he briefly moved at such great speed that Yang Jeonghak couldn't perceive his movements.[15] His speed and reflexes are so great, that he is able to dodge attacks at the last moment, producing after images that fool opponents into thinking the attacks have landed.

Immense Endurance: Ryong has proven to be an extremely resilient and persistent combatant, tanking seriously powerful blows and being able to continue fighting. This was shown during his fight with Sa Paecheon when he was able to endure all of the man's hits, as well as being impaled in the torso with poison-coated whips, and continue fighting, going on to eventually defeat Sa Paecheon.[16] His endurance was further proven when he managed to completely dominate both Ze Wungang and Nameless, killing the former, despite his body being in a terrible condition.[17]

Immense Reflexes: His reflexes and general awareness are at superhuman levels, enabling to effortlessly evade other people's attacks without much effort. Ryong's immense reflexes also allow him to mitigate damage from surprise attacks, as seen when he used reflective ki to soften and counter Sa Paecheon's strikes.[10]

Poison Resistance: Having gone through intense training to counter the Poison Arts, Ryong has developed an incredible resistance to poisons.[18] He was able to drink wine laced with enough poison to take down a bear without suffering any impairment.[18] He was later exposed to the degenerating Demonic Blight while fighting Sa Paecheon and suffered no immediate or lasting effects.

Silent Communication: Gwi Yeong was somehow able to have a full non-verbal conversation with Ryong using a yet unknown mean.[19]
