Episode 1312. I think I know? (2)
Baekcheon, who was about to apply, stopped and looked blankly behind him.
The back of a party leader wearing green long clothing was visible. The poison and venom he had spread, as well as the dark words he had unleashed, were completely covering the rear.
‘Was it like this?’
The reason I entrusted the rear to the party leader was because the characteristics of poison and memorization made it easy to provide extensive support to those in danger and were optimal for stopping those who followed in the rear.
In other words… What Baekcheon wanted was the jersey. This is not a one-sided massacre like that.
‘Lord Soga.’
At first glance, Baekcheon’s eyes showed complex emotions.
Of course, he respects the party flag. But I didn’t think the party defeat would help that much. To put it bluntly, he thought that the party’s team was barely a fighting force, considering the aspects of those who came from the Tianyu Meng.
But now Tangpae was proving with his own hands that Baekcheon’s thoughts were all miscalculations.
‘Can I break through?’
That feast of poison?
‘It won’t work.’
You have to be able to break through. If you try too hard, it may be possible to break through. But I’m not confident that I won’t become addicted.
Baekcheon is not someone who does not know what it means to be addicted to such extreme poison on the battlefield.
Then there are two ways.
You have to wait until all of the poison in the party is gone, or wait until the party leaves the terrain of this narrow canyon and the power of the poison decreases.
‘But that’s not victory.’
By then, the party will have already achieved everything it wanted to achieve. Even if it is not difficult to win in subsequent matches, what does that mean?
That is the way to win a match and lose a war.
Baekcheon looked sharply at the poison bottle in Tangpai’s hand. The poison that created this whole situation.
“What about that poison…?”
“You overexerted yourself.”
Baekcheon looked to the side when he heard the voice. Cheongmyeong, who had maintained an indifferent face ever since entering Gangnam, had a strange smile on his lips.
“Are you planning on pulling out the roots of the pillar? Anyway, the barrel is big.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Watch that poison carefully.”
At Cheongmyeong’s words, Baekcheon looked at the party flag again. Cheongmyeong said.
“They say Dangga can’t show off his skills in non-marriage. You never know what kind of accident the memorization thrown at the other person will cause, and you never know when the addicted person’s condition will become serious. yes?”
That’s something everyone knows.
“But that’s only half true.”
“huh?”
Cheongmyeong said with a grin.
“The opponent also has to overcome the burden of dealing with poison and memorization. “The fact that I can’t show off my skills in non-dancing is nothing short of cruelty, something that party bastards live by.”
Baekcheon nodded silently. Certainly, if you look at it from that perspective, what Cheongmyeong said is not particularly wrong.
Because dealing with familiar weapons like swords and swords is completely different from dealing with people who use poison and memorization as their strengths. The opponent also has to face the challenge with the burden of unfamiliar martial arts skills.
“The real disadvantage of the party is not that, but that.”
“That’s it?”
“That poison can’t be used in places like raindrops.”
“why?”
“There is no cancellation.”
Baekcheon’s eyes shook for a moment.
“Half of the party bastards are crazy about poison, and half are crazy about memorization. And among the memorizations, the ones whose power is so extreme that they are deemed unusable for humans are sealed so that even the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot use them, saying that they are Geumyongamgi or something like that.”
“That’s common sense.”
“Think about how bullshit that is. “If you’re not going to use it, just throw it away. Why seal it?”
“Uh…”
Baekcheon closed his mouth for a moment, as if speechless.
“I plan on using it someday, so I’m not throwing it away. “If a real crisis comes, they will drag everything in and tear it all down with all their might.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And it’s not just memorization. The most severe reading in the Tang Dynasty. Things that cannot be treated because there is no cancellation of the contract. So, poisons that would cause backlash from other factions just by using them are sealed in the deepest part of the party.”
“That’s…”
Hwaaaaaaa!
At that moment, venomous smoke bloomed again from the fingertips of the party leader. The toxic smoke wrapped around the poison instantly pushed away the blood people who were trying to open the way.
Cheongmyeong watched the scene in silence.
When you meet people who don’t need to worry about the lack of cancellation, the true power of the party is revealed.
Dangga is different from ordinary sects.
In a typical sect, there are very few people who study martial arts, and most of them devote themselves to learning martial arts and raising their level. However, many within the Tang family devote their lives solely to the study of poison and memorization.
The reason is very simple.
Creating excellent martial arts does not mean that the martial arts will raise the level of the school. What creates the power of a sect is not martial arts itself, but the inaction of the disciples.
This is the paradox of unlearning.
The profound ascension of martial arts leads those who learn it to a higher state, but it is so difficult that it requires great talent, extreme hardship, and endless years.
Was there a lack of martial arts in Shaolin?
Wasn’t there a shaman who would lead his disciples to the top of the world?
The reality for students of prestigious schools is that they struggle because they cannot master even the martial arts that already exist. But what is the meaning of studying the higher level of martial arts that such people will master?
Even if you study it, you cannot create it, and even if you create it, you cannot learn it.
‘But poison is different.’
Even if the poison is reduced to a meaningless level in a match between absolute experts, there are only a very small number of absolute experts in the world. To most warriors, the poison of Tang family is no different from the death god.
Therefore, the power of the party itself can be increased simply by creating a poison that can be poisoned more quickly and easily.
“It doesn’t matter how strong you are. At least the party price.”
“⋯⋯.”
“What’s more important is what’s in that hand.”
Baekcheon’s face hardened slightly. Then Cheongmyeong looked at his face, grinned, and asked.
“You thought you could always deal with a losing party, right?”
“W-what are you talking about…”
“Dongryong. That’s why you’re still Dongryong. “The world is big and not that simple.”
Baekcheon tried to refute something, but eventually kept his mouth shut. If he tries to refute it for no reason, it will only get ugly. Because Cheongmyeong’s point wasn’t so wrong.
Cheongmyeong looked at the party flag and muttered.
“But… it’s true that I’m overdoing it right now.”
They are spraying too much poison.
But it is unavoidable. If the person standing at the rear had been Tangbo, he would have killed everyone who approached with just the twelve blades. However, the party faction cannot block the enemy with only the rain sword.
Therefore, we continue to consume poison, which has a limited quantity.
“For a long time…”
“You won’t be able to hold out for long, right?”
Cheongmyeong and Baekcheon’s words came out almost at the same time. Cheongmyeong looked at Baekcheon again, a little surprised. Baekcheon was already deep in thought, taking his eyes off Cheongmyeong. The sight was somehow familiar yet unfamiliar.
Now Baekcheon is talking to Cheongmyeong. In the past, I would have tried to find the answer in Cheongmyeong’s words, but now I am trying to come up with the answer myself.
‘I can’t even call it a chick anymore.’
Crisis strengthens people, and war perfects men. Perhaps Baekcheon is the one who is growing the most in this grueling chase.
“Cheongmyeong! “You go forward…”
“Wrong.”
Baekcheon flinched and stopped talking.
Wrong?
The party’s defeat will soon reach its limit. However, due to the nature of the poison used by the party, it is impossible to support him. Even if you go to help, you can’t fight in that poison, right?
In that case, we have no choice but to increase the speed of breaking through this canyon, and the only one who can do that is Cheongmyeong, right?
“Remember one thing, Sasuk.”
Cheongmyeong let out a laugh that seemed cruel at first glance.
“Do you know when the most people die in war?”
“Suddenly what…”
“Just when you think you’ve won.”
“⋯⋯.”
“People let their guard down at that time. So, remember it clearly. The people we deal with are also people. “They are desperately trying to kill us by any means possible.”
Cheongmyeong’s two eyes turned upward. A tall cliff rising like a wall faces us. All that could be seen through the gap was a very narrow and long sky.
“come.”
Baekcheon’s body stiffened at Cheongmyeong’s words.
‘Explosives? Or oil?’
In an instant, the horrors of the Black Dragon House that I had experienced in the past flashed through my mind.
‘no! ‘That’s impossible!’
Baekcheon shook his head.
Exploding a cliff with explosives is not as easy as you think. And pouring a large amount of oil from a high mountain requires a large amount of manpower just to make the preparations.
The reason Jang Il-so was able to do that was because he fought in a way that dragged Gu Pail-bang into a trap that had already been prepared. Isn’t that why Jang Il-so is so great?
But this time, that is not possible. Hu Jiaming is chasing them, and it may not have been long before he predicted that Cheonwoomaeng and Haenam would head here.
In the midst of this, it is impossible to prepare in advance by mobilizing the Federation’s personnel, not even my subordinates, even if Zhuge Liang, not Hu Jiaming, appears.
‘then?’
So what on earth is coming?
The moment of worry did not last long.
At that moment, Baekcheon saw.
The long, narrow sky was suddenly covered with something thick and black, and darkness fell over the canyon.
Something covering the canyon gradually became clearer.
Baekcheon instantly opened his eyes. That’s not a cloud or anything.
“From above! Damn it! It comes from above!”
He shouted in an urgent voice.
The thing that covered the sky was people.
From up there, countless samurai warriors from the Four Armed Forces were jumping. There were enough of them to cover the heads of all those trying to pass through this place.
‘no!’
There was a sense of urgency and nervousness in Baekcheon’s eyes.
The reason you can break through this canyon is because the enemies are only in front and behind. That is why it is possible to protect Haenam’s disciples located in the center.
But what if those attacking from above get mixed up with Haenam’s disciples in the center?
‘It’s the end!’
If a fight breaks out in such a narrow space, a situation will arise that no one can control. And there is no need to think about what the result will be.
But what should you do?
from now on? backwards? I can’t back down in either direction!
“I’m coming back.”
“what?”
Paaaaaa!
And at that moment, Cheongmyeong, who was next to Baekcheon, soared upward like a lightning bolt.
“Che, Cheongmyeong!”
Before he knew it, he was holding the dark plum sword in one hand and running down the steep cliff as if it were flat ground. The red sword energy flowing from the tip of the sword left a long afterglow, drawing a red line in the center of the white cliff.
Faaah!
And another person ran up next to Cheongmyeong.
“accident!”
Tang Soso’s voice rang loudly. Yu Yi-seol, who had no facial expression as usual, rose up and followed Cheong-myeong’s side.
Cheongmyeong, and Yu Iseol.
The two of them soared like a welcome sight towards the countless warriors of the fallen warriors.
