Episode 1299. Is there a place to rest on this earth? (4)
“Uh…”
Haenam’s disciples looked blankly at the back of the person who came forward.
Danakgeom (斷岳劍) Namgungdowi.
A person who once had a higher reputation than anyone else here. A person who was considered a divinity who would lead the political faction in the future. He now stepped forward to protect them.
“Namgoong…”
A soft sigh escaped from Namgung Dowi’s mouth.
‘That’s not good.’
I lack stamina. Even though I trained that much.
Well, the amount of time he spent with the volcano is not much. There was no way that the path of being uneducated was easy enough to show rapid growth in such a short period of time.
But even so, Nangong Daowi did not hesitate to come forward.
‘Because I’ve already experienced it.’
Fighting against an enemy that cannot be fought.
Resisting and holding on in a seemingly hopeless situation.
That’s why he can step forward. I can deal with it. And I was able to protect it. These are people who are confused and don’t know what to do, like the Namgung family of the past.
If he fails to protect it this time, it means that he has not been able to take a single step forward from the plum blossom path of the past. That was something that Namgung Dowi could never accept.
Ugh.
Namgung Do-wi gripped the handle of the bottle until his knuckles turned white.
“Hit!”
However, the opponent, perhaps not intending to give Namgung Dowi a chance to catch his breath, erased the momentary look of embarrassment and quickly rushed towards Namgung Dowi.
The number of enemies is three. It is no different from the number that dealt with Jo Geol and other Hwasan disciples. Nangong Daowi’s eyes darkened.
‘I appreciate the high evaluation, but…’
Oooooh!
His sword let out a solemn sound.
The sword of the Namgung family has been a famous sword for generations. In particular, the ones used by the direct descendants of the Namgung family are treasured swords worthy of their great reputation. However, this is not because the Namgung family is extravagant.
Because you need a sword to withstand it. Ordinary swords cannot withstand the power granted by the Namgung family’s swordsmanship and are instantly crushed. It cannot be handled unless it is a well-refined sword.
Paaaaat!
The blood warriors with their rapiers raised flew toward Nangung Dowi like hawks descending after their prey. It seemed as if the three red blood lines would pierce Nangong Daowi at any moment.
At that moment, Nangong Daowi’s eyes vomited out bright light.
‘Opponent!’
Coooooo!
He stomped down on a powerful step.
‘You chose wrong!’
Quaaaaaaaaa!
Namgung Dowi swung his sword diagonally in one go. A tremendous amount of sword energy poured out like a waterfall from her shining white sword. It was as if she had spread a pure white cotton cloth into the air.
The sword energy, which occupied an absurdly wide area, covered the entire front line of the blood-righteous people who were rushing towards them.
“What…?”
The blood people instantly widened their eyes. Before they could do anything, the black energy instantly covered them and swept them away.
Quaaaaaaa!
There wasn’t even a scream. The bloody people who had turned into a lump of blood bounced around like arrows shot. It was truly an overwhelming sight. At that moment, everyone’s attention during the battle was focused on Namgung Do-wi.
Namgung Dowi took a deep breath. Her hand holding the sword was shaking as it was unable to withstand the rapid drain of internal power.
But those who are looking at him now will not be able to see that. All I see is his vague expression.
“I will block the front!”
He consciously straightened his shoulders. Due to the great momentum, the blood people hesitated without even realizing it.
At that time, the blood righteous person standing in the center narrowed his eyes.
‘Is this the Namgung family?’
The compatibility is not good.
The weapon they use is a rapier. They trained to expertly exploit the opponent’s loopholes. Therefore, to them, youngsters who lack practical experience are nothing more than easy prey.
No matter how great the swordsmanship is, gaps are bound to be revealed on the battlefield, and the enemy can be easily defeated just by inserting a sharp rapier into the gap.
But not that swordsmanship.
That’s more like artillery than swordsmanship. There may be gaps in the body holding the sword, but what gaps can there be in a flying sword? The moment the distance widens and the attack and defense of sword skills begins, all that remains is the rapier, which is so thin that it is difficult to exert proper force.
Superlative. That word is probably used in times like this. I don’t know about others, but right now, the blood people have no way to deal with that Namgung Daowi.
At best, we will have to make sacrifices and engage in wheel-to-wheel warfare until the resources we are pouring in are depleted, but we are not in a situation where we can do that right now.
If so, what is the way…
The blood doctor in the center snapped his finger.
“Ignore him…”
What the finger was pointing at were Haenam’s disciples behind Namgung Dowi.
“Stick close to those Haenam guys. That guy can’t ignore his allies and throw swords like that. “Then it’s just an ordinary inspection.”
There was no common answer. The moment the command was given, the feet of the blood righteous people began to move in unison. Just from that sight, you could see how thoroughly trained they were.
Love it!
The blood people rushed forward all at once. The direction is slightly different from before. Not the front of Namgungdowi, but the left and right sides.
If Nangong Daowi was completely ignored, there would inevitably be people who would be swept away by the sword energy flying from the side, but they did not take that sacrifice into consideration at all. No, I ignored that fact itself.
If an order is given, just follow it.
They were strictly protecting the absolute principles that were more important than anything else on the battlefield, but also more difficult to keep than anything else.
“Tsk!”
Nangung Dowi’s face momentarily distorted as he realized the opponent’s strategy. No matter how much sword energy he spreads, if the enemy comes out like this, it is impossible to block everyone who passes by.
The moment Namgung Dowi was about to urgently shake off his sword, the familiar sound of a strike sounded in his ears.
Hehehe!
Fuuuuuuuuuuck!
A fist-sized bullet flew to the right, exploding, and pink poisonous smoke rose up. The blood people who were rushing towards him slowed down as they saw the poison spreading right in front of them.
I love you so much!
One after another, countless streams of light poured out of that poison.
Kagang! Kaga River!
The blood righteous swing their swords frantically, striking away the flying needles. Even if this reflection was clean, the moment it broke through that poison, it would have been full of poison.
They know better than anyone else how fatal it is to be poisoned on the battlefield. That is why even small fine needles cannot be ignored.
“Of course it’s a good price…”
The party leader slowly walked out through the rising poison. As if there was absolutely no way to become addicted to something like poison that you made yourself.
“It is true that they are treated worse than the Namgung family, but that does not mean that they should be ignored by Saffron bastards like you.”
Gagagagak!
The nasal passages sandwiched between the fingers rubbed against each other, emitting a sharp metallic sound.
At that moment, the half-moon-shaped game rained down on the people rushing in the opposite direction, scattering dizzyingly like butterflies in flight.
“Tsk!”
Kaga River!
It didn’t really exert much force. However, each one of them moved vividly as if they were alive. Like dozens of butterflies flying through the forest.
Ignoring such an irregular attack and rushing forward is suicidal. Nothing more, nothing less. In the end, those who were rushing had no choice but to stop.
Jeez. Jeez.
Lim So-byeong walked out, waving his fan, and clicked his tongue.
“You guys, this is Hao Mun.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Let’s see, let’s see. A sword, a mask, and blood… The sword technique used is similar to Arangchuhongeom (餓狼追魂劍). Is this Hao Wen’s wedding party, then?”
The blood righteous people stared at Lim So-byeong in silence. Lim So-byeong smiled as he received those eyes.
“Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on with the Sapa thing. What on earth are these people who don’t open their mouths even once to hide their identities thinking about wearing the same clothes, carrying the same weapons, and using the same martial arts skills? “Are you upset if I don’t recognize you?”
At Lim So-byeong’s bitter words, the party leader across the street burst into laughter.
“So aren’t you from Sapa too?”
“Uh huh. How long has it been since you last washed your hands? “Don’t keep bringing up the past.”
Lim So-byeong joked and waved his fan.
But unlike his exaggerated and comical gestures, his eyes were only focused on his enemy. It’s as if he wants to analyze and understand every single bit of flesh.
“I didn’t know that King Nokrim would protect Haenam.”
“If you don’t have gums, your teeth will get cold. “If only these guys were there, there would be at least one less knife stuck in my body.”
Lim So-byeong tried to look in the other direction and shook his head.
“Well, it’s not necessarily because I’m scared of anyone. “Don’t misunderstand.”
“⋯⋯No one misunderstood.”
“Tsk.”
Lim So-byeong slowly lowered the fan he was holding.
“Haomun’s Chumongdae. If you’re in Sapa, you’ve got at least one chase team. Due to Hao Moon’s nature, there are a lot of chase teams. “You can think of it as one of them.”
“Oh, then how to deal with it?”
“Do you guys understand?”
Lim So-byeong shrugged his shoulders.
“There is not just one chase team, but many. And I’m an envoy, not an informant. “I just know that there are people like that.”
“⋯⋯You must be a bandit, not a civil servant.”
“That’s it.”
“⋯⋯You shouldn’t say anything.”
“And at times like this, doesn’t Safa look better than those proud political factions?”
“yes?”
As the party leader looked puzzled, Lim So-byeong glanced back.
“Someone who is not much older than me is protecting me, so I step forward, but you just watch from behind and criticize me.”
A blatant sneer appeared on Lim So-byeong’s face.
“When easy-going guys hurt you, you act like you’re going to bite him to death, but when you meet guys you think are a bit dangerous, how calm he becomes. There’s nothing great about those people from the political faction who are said to be great. “Sapa’s circumstances are a bit different, but there is an opportunity.”
The faces of the Haenam disciples distorted when they heard those words. Only then did they realize what they were doing and felt a sense of shame.
Just one sentence was enough to turn that shame into anger.
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about. Because I will protect you. “Just watch quietly from there.”
Hearing Lim So-byeong’s words, Haenam’s disciples all began to commit suicide.
“Who are you talking about that was shaking?”
“I was just confused for a moment!”
“exactly! “What are you looking at Haenam for?”
“Oh, is that so?”
Lim So-byeong said, giggling.
“Then don’t just talk about it with your mouth, try proving it with that sword.”
“This…!”
Haenam’s disciples, who were glaring at Lim So-byeong with venomous eyes, ran forward.
Haenam’s disciples, led by Namgung Do-wi, Dangpae, and Lim So-byeong, unleashed terrible murder on the blood righteous people.
As the momentum that had been lost was revived, the complexions of the blood righteous people momentarily hardened.
