Episode 1270 Don’t worry about the bastards! (5)
Of course, the impact of the household name would have been great.
However, it was nothing compared to the shock received by the Haenam faction members who were observing the coast from the boat.
“I…”
Kwak Hwan-so looked so distraught that he could not speak.
Red blood was constantly spraying like foam on the white sand beach, which had already turned completely red.
“How…”
Everyone’s room. The loser of Gangnam that Haenam was so afraid of.
Only one person is standing in the way of the 100,000 troops sent to Haenam Island to annihilate Haenam. Kwak Hwan-so’s feelings as he watched this with his own two eyes were so complex that it was difficult to express them in words.
In the first place, it is safe to say that this is his first time in something that can be called real combat.
Of course, there have been times when they have truly mixed swords, but this was the first time they had fought to kill each other, and it was also the first time they had fought a war like this in large numbers rather than in small numbers.
As a result, from the moment he left the coast, he felt exhausted and wanted to sit down on the deck.
However, the Hwasan Sword Association has gone through everything they have gone through and is now single-handedly stopping them. No, they are pushing it again.
“It’s not even a person…”
I heard Miss Lee standing next to me muttering. When I glanced back, I saw that his face was pale and bloodless.
Seeing the tip of his chin trembling, Guo Huanxiao slowly turned his gaze back to Qingming, who was wielding a sword. The round thing suddenly rising up there right now must be the head of Maninbando.
‘Are they really the same person…?’
It was hard to believe.
The demon-like person who is currently slapping off Maninbando’s head is the same person who was giggling while pouring alcohol into his glass a few days ago.
At that time, Namgung Dowi’s voice was heard.
“⋯⋯Isn’t that going too far?”
The voice was filled with deep concern.
“Of course, I know we need to keep our distance, but it seems too isolating, don’t you think?”
“It’s still okay.”
However, Baekcheon’s voice in response to the concern was extremely calm.
“Deputy Jangmun, but…”
“it’s okay.”
Baekcheon spoke clearly once again. Kwak Hwan-so quietly looked at Baek-cheon. His face was slightly stiff, but his eyes did not waver at all. The only thing I could feel was firm trust.
After saying this, Namgung Dowi seemed speechless and looked at the situation in Baekcheon and Haean in silence. Then he said.
“Of course, it’s not that I don’t trust the skills of the Hwasan Sword Association. “No one would dare to think of such a thing if it were the Taoyuan Demon Island.”
“⋯⋯.”
“But isn’t it a battlefield? This is where things get completely twisted with just the slightest excitement. “Couldn’t you lose your life just by losing it for a moment?”
Some people looked anxious at those words.
I can’t even imagine Cheongmyeong being harmed by them. At least for those here.
However, since they are from Cheongmyeong Island, if they fight so fiercely, they may miss the time to retreat. If that happens, you have no choice but to become isolated among those many people.
“Sasuk…”
Jogeol called Baekcheon in a slightly worried voice. She seems to think that what Namgung-do said above is not so wrong. As if she had to send her signal even now to summon her spirit.
However, Baekcheon just stared at Cheongmyeong in silence without answering. Jo Geol, feeling frustrated, called Baek Cheon once again.
“Sasuk.”
“Excited?”
However, Baekcheon’s answer was not directed to Jo Geol, but to Namgung Dowi.
“It would be nice to be someone who can do that.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
He said, looking at the battlefield with dark, sunken eyes.
“He’s not excited. “He’s just pretending to be excited.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Of course, he is also human, so there will be times when he gets excited and loses himself, but at least not now.”
Yunjong and Yui Seol nodded at those words.
“Are you saying you’re not excited?”
Namgung Dowi looked as if he didn’t understand and looked at Cheongmyeong, who was running wild like a crazy demon. It is a sight that will make anyone watching it’s blood boil. But how can the person who created that scene be calm?
“You will find out.”
However, Baekcheon did not bother to add an explanation.
Namgung Dowi also eventually closed his mouth. In fact, Baekcheon’s words may have felt a little unkind, but Nangong Daowi understood his position.
This is not to say that there is no explanation. It cannot be explained.
It is not an answer given by logic or theory, but by something accumulated through experiences together. How would you express the source of that trust in human words?
‘I’m sick of it.’
In some ways, it’s actually creepy.
A firm belief that a person fighting alone against a huge sect called Maninbang would never get excited, would never be defeated, and would never make a mistake. Isn’t this an area of almost blind obedience?
It may be a little different in form, but the faith they now show to Cheongmyeong is similar to Maninbang’s faith in Jang Il-so or the Demonic religion’s faith in the Heavenly Demon.
Cheongmyeong gained such great trust from them not through authority or distribution, but through his skills and achievements.
In Nangong Daowi’s eyes, he saw Cheongmyeong fighting like crazy.
‘Can I become like that someday?’
As I looked at his back, I unconsciously pursed my lips.
Paaaaaa!
The fragmented body rises and scatters. The blood gushing out from the cross section covered Cheongmyeong’s face.
Even in the heat that threatened to burn, Cheongmyeong’s eyes remained extremely cold.
‘Distance?’
His eyes and senses immediately measured the distance to where Hu Ga-myeong was.
‘It’s far.’
There are so many people blocking your path that it’s annoying. If the number had been even a little smaller, they would have gone out of their way to run over and cut that guy’s head off.
But now, although it is possible to break through, it is impossible to escape safely.
The sword was thrust into the back of the person running away. As if caught by her ailment, she twisted the sword stuck in the back of the person who dropped it and struck upward.
So that as much blood is splattered as possible. So that everyone can see this scene more clearly.
‘how will we do it?’
In my opinion, I want to hold on to it even if it means overdoing it.
Instinctively… No, you can know it without even mentioning your instincts. That guy named Ho Ga-myeong is trickier than I thought.
From Cheongmyeong’s point of view, he may be a more difficult person to deal with than Jang Il-so, who comes up with ridiculous strategies at every moment.
A strategy is usually a method of taking risks in order to gain a certain advantage. However, his nickname is to not take risks and carry out his role steadily and quietly.
It’s not like Cheongmyeong doesn’t know what kind of disaster would happen if he was caught by someone like that.
I want to remove my alias in order to get out of Gangnam and for the future fight against Sapaeryeon, but…
“Ugh, wow!”
As if they had decided that there was nowhere else to run, those who were struggling to escape turned back towards Cheongmyeong. Then he closed his eyes and ran towards me.
A mouse that meets a cat on the street runs away without looking back, but a mouse that is cornered tends to rush in to bite the cat as well. It seemed like he was thinking deeply for a moment and chased away without giving him a chance to escape.
but.
Parrrrrrr!
The sword of Cheongmyeong suddenly trembled like crazy, and a series of red plum blossom petals spewed out from the end.
Paaaaaa!
The scattered plum leaves spread in all directions, as if they had life and will, and attacked the approaching Man-in-bando.
“Aaaahhh!”
The desperate screams added a layer of fear to the blood-soaked coast.
Those whose bodies had been pierced dozens of times collapsed, blood spurting from every hole in their bodies. However, the eyes of Cheongmyeong, who had actually caused that terrible tragedy, were still infinitely cold.
‘That’s too much.’
Cheongmyeong slightly slowed down his attack. If you put your mind to it, you can overcome them and aim for a household name in no time, but the future is not certain.
In particular, the people he is dealing with now are nothing more than a small group of people. Those who can be said to be a real force are now tightly guarding the area around Hu Jiaming in the back.
Perhaps they are the ones he will have to fight against soon.
‘This is why I don’t like it. Sapa bastards.’
Cheongmyeong does not hesitate to jump into enemy territory to save just one disciple. However, while Sapa pretends to run wild on the outside, he does not hesitate to throw his comrades as food to drain the enemy’s stamina.
For a moment, Cheongmyeong’s eyebrows twisted in disgust.
‘Where is it?’
He quietly measured the distance between himself and the ships out to sea.
It’s breathtaking.
‘That’s it.’
Cheongmyeong spun the sword around and grabbed it backwards.
“This time I’m just going…”
Cheongmyeong’s blood-soaked lips parted, revealing his white teeth eerily.
“But I still have to say hello.”
Quang!
Cheongmyeong kicked the ground hard and soared upward. I twisted my waist backwards in the air. Soon, red sword energy spread from his sword with terrifying force.
Paaaaaaaa!
A red line appeared in the air along with a loud noise that felt like the air was exploding.
The red line that seemed to cut the blue sky of the South Sea in half flew over the Maninbang army in a straight line toward Hu Jia-myeong.
“Stop it!”
The people guarding Hu Jiaming soared as if they had been waiting. The huge sword flew in and hit the sword energy of Cheongmyeong.
Kagak! Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
‘what?’
However, even though the powerful sword and the fragile sword energy collided, the sword energy neither bounced nor fell apart. Rather, a heavy weight was pushed in.
‘Oh, no…’
Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga!
The Tao, which has become stronger than anything in the world due to its internal force, is torn apart screaming. But what was even scarier was the incredible power contained within the sword.
“Aaaahhh!”
Those who blocked it could not hold on any longer and flew away. And the sword energy released by Cheongmyeong rushed straight towards Hu Jiaming without losing any of its momentum.
“Military!”
“Avoid…”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Sand shot up like an explosion behind Hu Jiaming. However, Hu Jiaming just stood there without even blinking an eye.
Ssyuk.
At that moment, a long, horizontal red line appeared from right next to the corner of his left eye to his cheek near his ear. The left side of his face suddenly turned red from the blood he shed.
The wound was so deep that the bones were exposed. However, Hu Jiaming could not even feel the pain and just watched Qingming with dark eyes.
“joy.”
Cheongmyeong got down and twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered.
‘After all, he’s a boring guy.’
But since I said hello, this is it. Cheongmyeong powerfully swung his sword to tear off the clinging enemy and turned around like a swift marten.
It was that moment.
Paaaaaa!
On the ground below Cheongmyeong, dozens of swords rose from the blood-stained red sand.
But Cheongmyeong laughed again and twisted his body. It was indeed a sharp attack, but he was not immune to this level.
But then.
Kwaaaaang!
The swords that rose upward seemed to emit light for a moment, but then exploded into hundreds of pieces, scattering in all directions.
‘what?’
Cheongmyeong opened his eyes for a moment.
