Episode 1393. It will be waiting for us. (3)
“Don’t slow down! “Anyone who lags behind will die by my hand!”
Hu Jia-myeong’s lieutenant, Zong Guo, shouted at the top of his lungs, but the speed did not increase at all.
Jong-gwak looks around with a slightly anxious face.
Is the command not working?
No, it’s not like that. They too are running with all their strength. But I no longer have any strength in my legs.
‘I guess it’s worth it.’
If it’s natural, it’s natural. From Guangdong to here, they ran non-stop, unable to even get a proper rest.
Even if you were a horse of a thousand miles or a full-blooded horse, how could you not get tired when you endured a forced march with a human body that would have made you faint from exhaustion?
It is natural for those Haenam bastards to feel pressured by those they are pursuing, but their position as they pursue them is equally urgent.
There are more?
For the tracking side, that’s not necessarily an advantage. They are none other than disciples of the old faction, and their average inaction is such that it is meaningless to compare them with the general disciples of the Maninbang.
If they were in perfect condition, no matter how hard they tried, they wouldn’t have been able to keep up with their speed. At least they were able to catch up because they were carrying the wounded and were exhausted from continuous battles.
Jong Gwak slightly bit his lip.
‘There is nothing to say weakly. If you’re tired, they’ll be even more tired!’
Moreover, Jong Gwak’s job is not to chase them down and kill them. All we are doing is putting pressure on them so that the military can get what they want.
I couldn’t keep crying because it was difficult to even do that.
“We have to catch them before they reach the Yangtze River!”
Jong Gwak screamed at the top of his lungs.
The eyes of those who heard those words gave off an intense light. It is no exaggeration to say that what is driving them now is partly resentment. It’s a wish I don’t even know where it started.
Jong Gwak slightly clenches and unclenches his fist.
‘Even though we are enemies…’
I never imagined that they would break through the siege and reach this place. This would have been absolutely impossible if they were the incompetent old-timers they had seen so far.
But they did it. Even if they have not yet broken through the Yangtze River, the fact that they have reached this point with only half of their strength preserved leaves no doubt about their abilities.
But that too is over now.
The fate of the plum sword demon, the one who made that absurd miracle a reality, will now come to an end.
Even if they all survive and escape to Gangbuk, if they can kill the Plum Blossom Demon Demon, this fight is bound to be their victory.
‘Never would have thought that I would consider one person’s head more valuable than one sect from the same old faction.’
This was unimaginable just a month ago. But now no one in the room will question that fact. Because Plum Sword Demon Cheongmyeong proved it himself.
‘First of all, my mission…’
It was right then.
“Vice-gun! “There’s someone up front!”
“hmm?”
Jong-gwak’s eyes frown slightly.
Have you captured the enemy’s rear end? That’s a lot faster than he expected?
However, the voices that came one after another completely shattered Jong-gwak’s thoughts.
“Access! “A group of hordes are approaching this way!”
“what? Access?”
Jong-gwak’s pupils dilate greatly at the unexpected words.
“There is no mistake…”
“coming!”
At that moment, about a dozen people came out of the forest ahead at incredible speed.
“Oooooh!”
White sword energy rises high into the sky.
Without any time to express their confusion or even to give instructions to avoid, the surging sword energy poured down in front of them.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
“Aaaahhh!”
“Aaaah!”
With a desperate scream, the leader turns into a mushy mess and flies away.
And it was visible in Jonggwak’s eyes. The formation they had set up to chase the enemy was distorted as if the leader collapsed.
“Oh, no…”
“let’s go!”
“A-mi-ta-bul!”
Oooooh!
Without even a moment to catch one’s breath, a magnificent golden light blooms where the white black energy has subsided. That auspicious light instantly caught and widened the gap that the white sword energy had opened.
“Mi, I’m being pushed out!”
“Aaaahhh!”
A heaviness as if an entire huge mountain was being pushed down. The Maninbangdo, unable to resist that force, were helplessly pushed left and right. Then, a clear straight path opens between the Maninbando Islands spread out wide on the left and right.
And those who were now so accustomed to that path flew in like the wind.
“Woe, it’s a volcano!”
“They are volcanoes! Avoid!”
Swordsmen dressed in black military uniforms, a symbol of volcanoes, rushed towards the open road.
And the scene that followed was now something that even Maninbando could naturally anticipate.
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
Red plum blossoms bloom one after another. People who knew how terrible and dangerous that gorgeous yet beautiful flower actually was rolled their bodies in all directions with pale complexions.
“Don’t hesitate and run, you bastards!”
“Oh, really!”
A group of about a dozen people started running along the road that had been broken and twisted open.
“Vice-gun! Command!”
“No, they’re breaking through!”
Jong-gwak’s eyes wander here and there, unable to find where to go.
“Oh, just… Oh no! “Why them?”
Why are they suddenly attacking them? You said you didn’t suddenly lose your mind?
“Vice-gun!”
“Okay, shut your mouth!”
Jong-gwak shouted loudly and turned his head forward.
‘What have you seen?’
If the enemy suddenly made a surprise attack, there would be a high probability that the main unit’s attack would continue towards the center! If you change direction clumsily and get stabbed in the back, the damage will be enormous.
However, no matter how much energy I poured out, I could not even feel the enemy’s energy wave following me.
‘Just them?’
That can’t be possible. That could never happen.
Unless they suddenly went crazy, there’s no way they could have come up against them with only ten people.
“It breaks through! Vice-gun!”
At that moment, Jong Gwak clearly saw a group of groups rushing forward, piercing their siege like an awl and running backwards.
Literally in the blink of an eye, the herpes he had created was broken through like a child flipping his palm.
“Oh my…”
Jong-gwak looks at the scene with a devastated face. Those who broke through them quickly move away.
“Shouldn’t we chase after you?”
“⋯⋯.”
Jong Gwak couldn’t answer and bit his lip.
Just because the people here were breached doesn’t mean that everyone was breached. Because after this, more people are chasing after me. If you go that way, you will only die from being swept away by the waves of those chasing you.
In the original case, all you had to do was just ignore it and chase after the main force in Haenam. Isn’t that also the mission he received?
What made him hesitate was none other than the identity of those few people.
‘Cheonwoomaeng.’
If they are Cheonwoo-meng who did not accompany Haenam, and if they are Cheonwoo-meng who came this far and chose to separate from Haenam, isn’t the purpose of that reckless retrograde quite obvious?
“Are you saying you want to save the Plum Blossom Demon? “Only about ten people?”
An incredibly reckless thing.
“⋯⋯Send a secret message to the soldier and inform him of the situation.”
“yes!”
Jong-gwak, who had just regained his composure, looked at the place where the Cheon-u-maengs had disappeared with mocking eyes.
“That’s not called courage.”
Jong-gwak let out a deep sneer and turned his head with cold eyes.
❀ ❀ ❀
“Aaaah!”
Saaaaagh!
The sword, swung with a horrifying sound, cuts a long cut through the enemy’s chest.
Damn it!
But strangely, no blood flowed from the wound. All the blood that was supposed to spurt out was frozen cold. A person whose heart has stopped due to the cold that penetrates his body collapses on the spot.
bang!
“Get out of the way! “You bastards!”
“Palace lord! “Don’t overdo it!”
Yun Jong tried to calm Seol So-baek by shouting, but Seol So-baek swung his sword even more fiercely, as if he didn’t even listen to what he said.
It puts out as much Yin Han Qigong as it has at the tip of the sword.
Damn it!
Wherever his sword passes, transparent ice crystals bloom in the air.
“That kid really doesn’t listen to me!”
“You bastard! Let’s play Bingungung!”
“Oh, who doesn’t know?”
Jo Geol blurted out something.
When the situation of going to rescue Cheongmyeong arose, the person who ran wild the most was not Jo Geol-do, Yu I-seol, or even Baek-cheon, but Seol So-baek.
Seol So-baek, who had never revealed his presence during the entire journey to and from Haenam, was swinging his sword as if he was going mad.
“Ah! cold!”
“Is there a joke in this situation?”
“no! It’s really cold? “What on earth did that little boy eat in the meantime?”
“⋯⋯Because you are the lord of the palace.”
“Would you like to live in filth because you were a commoner?”
“what? “Rich bastard?”
Jo Geol is prickled by Yoon Jong’s voice, which seems to be truly overcome by evil.
In the meantime, Seol So-baek continued to throw brutal sword strikes at the enemies blocking their path as if he could not hear such words.
‘stamp!’
Seol So-baek’s eyes emit fire.
His sudden rampage might be unfamiliar to others, but for him it was a very natural thing.
He agrees that Haenam must be saved, but it is difficult to understand the sacrifices made for them.
Although Haenam expresses her difficulties, it is also difficult to sympathize with the fact that her situation is more difficult than that of Binggung.
Above all, I could not find a reason to risk my life for those who could abandon their home.
I support Cheongmyeong because it is what it does. I try my best because it is Cheongmyeong’s decision. However, it was difficult for him, who was still young, to truly empathize with its meaning and significance.
But not now. The person he is going to save now is none other than Cheongmyeong. He is Bingung’s benefactor and his benefactor.
I could never let him die in a place like this. He has not yet repaid anything to Cheongmyeong.
At that moment, the Maninbangdo came screaming in front of Seolsobaek.
“dare!”
The left arm of Seolsobaek, with a blue light shining from his eyes, was pulled back and then stretched forward at once. Tension as white as snow erupted from his right arm like a small avalanche.
“Rain, Bingbaek Kidney?”
“oh my god!”
Hwasan’s disciples are horrified by the sight and shout.
The ice palace season witnessed in the North Sea has now been recreated in the hands of Seol So-baek.
The Maninbando who were running at him froze in an instant. Seol So-baek kicked the frozen people away and kicked the floor without any delay.
“Hurry!”
“Yes, yep!”
“All right! “Palace lord!”
Seol So-baek, who ran without even looking back, bit his lip until it bled.
Cheongmyeong’s life is in danger. just now.
‘stamp! ‘I’m going now!’
A boy saved by Cheongmyeong.
The boy had now become a swordsman and was running to save Cheongmyeong.
