Episode 1395. It will be waiting for us. (5)
“Military! The Zheng Dynasty has completed the siege! “The martial arts team and the flag team are moving to the designated location!”
“Team E, we are currently engaged in combat with the Plum Sword Demon! There is a high probability that the siege will be broken!”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes grew colder as he listened to the pouring reports.
The speed at which Plum Sword Demon Cheongmyeong breaks through the siege is getting slower and slower. No, to be precise, once the encirclement is broken, the distance to escape is rapidly decreasing.
If it had been before, I would have interpreted that he was doing it intentionally to give the main force time to escape…
‘Considering various circumstances, this is different.’
Hu Jiaming’s eyes sank somberly.
As time passes, the siege surrounding him becomes increasingly thicker. He’s not someone who doesn’t know the situation.
Knowing this and not being able to escape means that you lack the strength to break through the siege.
That monster has finally come to an end.
Hu Jiaming glanced around. The lieutenants’ faces were flushed, as if they felt the same thing.
Words like a sigh flowed from Hu Jiaming’s mouth.
“In the end… “You are a human after all.”
The lieutenants were silent and looked at Hu Jiaming. Hu Jiaming’s voice contained many emotions.
Resentment and hatred. The feeling of relief that I finally managed to push the opponent into the net. The joy of finally being able to carry out Ryeonju’s orders.
But anyone who heard the voice directly could tell. This means that there is also a subtle feeling of sadness in it.
The military of all people. Furthermore, it is an emotion that should never be shown as a soldier of the SPA. Depending on the situation, there may even be less room for fall.
But the deputies did not bother to point out that fact.
It was not because they were afraid to point out Hu Jiaming’s true condition, but because they could understand Hu Jiaming’s feelings after finally saying those words.
“⋯⋯There’s no need to rush.”
Hu Jiaming said as if he had composed himself.
“It takes your breath away slowly but surely.”
“Yes, military!”
It was at that time that Hu Jia-myeong, who had gained confidence, was about to take a step forward.
Beep!
A sharp hawk cry echoed overhead. Hoga-myeong looked up, narrowing her eyes, and frowned.
‘Urgent report?’
The hawk descended as if snatching its prey and landed on Hu Ga-myeong’s outstretched arm. He took out the letter from the container attached to the hawk’s foot and read it without delay.
“⋯⋯Cheonwoomaeng?”
Soon a laugh escaped his mouth.
“I knew that recklessness was the specialty of Cheonwoo-Maeng, but… this went beyond the limit.”
The adjutants’ faces hardened when they saw the letter with the family name in front of them.
“Military, this…”
“There is no need to panic. Well, you won’t be able to do anything. But… we have to prepare.”
Hu Jiaming slightly adjusted the position of the siege network surrounding Qingming, gave instructions, and spoke calmly.
“Go to where the guy is.”
“Gu, military! “It’s dangerous!”
“danger?”
There were voices of dissuasion pouring in from around him, but there was no significant change in expression on Hu Jiaming’s face.
“Is there a greater danger to us now than him dying alive?”
The adjutant looked at Hu Jiaming, speechless for a moment, and then lowered his head.
“Guide me.”
In the end, the deputies nodded.
“Come this way!”
Hu Jiaming’s eyes cooled down as he followed his adjutant.
‘Not even a single variable is allowed.’
Cheongmyeong’s perfect death. In this entire journey, Hu Jiaming’s only purpose was that.

“Now, just a moment!”
Nangung Dowi shouted urgently. In essence, his skill is a sword technique that crushes enemies based on his majestic power. Due to the nature of swordsmanship, his attacks have no choice but to have a wide range.
The problem was that every time he tried to shake off his sword, someone kept getting in the way.
“Dojo! for a moment!”
“Wait a moment, damn it!”
Jo Geol swore and ran in front of Namgung Dowi. The red sword energy expelled explosively instantly cut into the approaching Maninbangdo. Not satisfied with defeating more than three people with one sword, he lowered his body so that it almost touched the ground and rushed forward.
“Aaaaaaaap!”
However, Seol Sobaek, who jumped ahead of Jo Geol, attacked faster.
Faaah!
As Seolsobaek’s sword cut down the enemy like a flash, pure white frost immediately settled on their bodies.
The two men seemed to be competing as they cleared the path.
No, the term clearing a path may not suit this scene. It would be difficult to say that about jumping into enemy lines without even checking whether all enemies have been defeated or whether the enemy has been properly finished.
“Get out of the way! “You damn bastards!”
The two men swung their swords repeatedly while yelling.
Namgung Dowi quickly looked away at the extremely dangerous appearance. She was trying to find Baekcheon.
“Now, Assistant Manager Jang Moon. Let’s take care of it…”
Baekcheon is the only one here who can calm these crazy people down.
But Baekcheon, whom he desperately sought, was no longer by his side.
“Anyone who blocks will die!”
A sharp red sword energy surged from the front. A sword that has not yet become a plum blossom. Throwing away the sophistication that is essential to a volcanic sword, the sword technique, loaded only with rapid power, swept away the enemies in a crude and violent manner.
‘Uh, when are you there…?’
The system they had in place while coming from Haenam to here has long since become meaningless. Everyone was running out as if competing with each other to make a path. Namgung Dowi could not help but be taken aback by this sight.
“Oooooh!”
At that moment, a brilliant golden light burst out from behind him.
“Hey, profit…!”
Nangung Dowi violently threw his body to the side. The fire light barely passed by where he was and immediately crushed the retreating Maninbangdo.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
There was not even an ounce of mercy for the Buddhist in the ensuing explosion of energy. Namgung Do-wi, who was very proud, looked back at Hyeyeon.
“S, monk. “It’s dangerous!”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, no, not only me but Assistant Manager Jang Moon almost got swept away…”
“You will avoid it on your own! If you can’t avoid it, tell them to get out of the way!”
“⋯⋯.”
“Slow down!”
Soon, Hyeyeon’s appearance as she shouted disappeared on the spot.
‘Lee Hyung-hwan-wi?’
Hyeyeon, who reappeared at the front as if she had used Taoism, threw out a fist along with a roaring lion’s hooves. She reached its peak, and as the book unfolded, she stabbed him in all directions, as if his limbs had expanded into several pieces.
Nangong Daowi looked at the scene, speechless.
Yunjong, the calmest in Hwasan, is running wild like a yaksha, and Dang Soso, the youngest in Hwasan, is breaking through, stomping on his death penalty.
Is it strange?
No, it’s not strange. If you think about it, Cheonwoomaeng was originally a place like that. Didn’t Namgung Dowi also know?
Nevertheless, there is one reason why this scene feels awkward now.
‘Everyone has been holding back until now.’
Looking at this scene, I could see how many things they had been carrying and how much they had restrained themselves on the way from Haenam to here. With nothing more to shoulder and only one goal left to save Cheongmyeong, everyone reveals themselves without hesitation.
They were already exhausted.
However, they are gathering all their remaining power and relentlessly pushing the enemy. In order to reach Cheongmyeong, who is in danger, as quickly as possible.
‘Me too!’
The moment Namgung Dowi gritted his teeth and tried to push forward, a heavy weight suddenly fell on his sword.
‘uh?’
I turned around in confusion and saw one person. Yui Seol, she was pressing her own sword gently against the sword above her Namgungdo.
“Iseol Dojo?”
Namgung Dowi was momentarily puzzled. Is it not time for him to step forward?
But her next words were indifferent and clear.
“Blow it.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
“Blow it.”
“⋯⋯.”
“hurry!”
Namgung Dowi suddenly stomped on the ground and swung his sword with all his might. Yu Iseol, lightly resting on the sword, flew into the air like a bird of prey. Then, she immediately descended onto the heads of the enemies blocking the front line.
Paaaaat!
Yu Yi-seol’s plum sword drew a flowing semicircle in the air. The heads of those swept into the semicircle rose one after another.
“Run faster, you slugs!”
“Oh, I know!”
Baekcheon gritted his teeth and plunged his sword into the retreating enemy’s body. Without even waiting for him to fall, he kicked his chest and sprayed countless sword energy.
‘Faster!’
The more anxious he became, the more the tendons in his jaw bulged.
Even if you knock them down again and again, these swarms of ants don’t know the end. No matter how much I fight, it seems like there will be more enemies forever.
The reason Baekcheon felt urgent now was not because dealing with them was difficult. This was because Cheongmyeong had been dealing with them alone for a long time.
Able to know. The level of the enemy blocking Chun Woo-maeng and his party right now is not that great. Considering that the other party is a fool, this is absolutely impossible.
That means only one thing. This means that among the ten thousand people, all of them with outstanding skills were assigned to pursue Cheongmyeong.
Can I hold out?
Of course he’s a monster, but can he really elude their pursuit with that body?
“Ugh! Damn it!”
Baekcheon shot out sword energy with his crazy eyes.
Maybe you can run away. Of course you will be able to run away. But Baekcheon also knows. That guy would never run away from a situation like this. I will drag my time to the limit and only at the very end will I try to open my own path.
Even if the ending is not good.
‘As you wish, you son of a bitch!’
Baekcheon’s eyes sparkled with murder.
“Sasuk! excuse me!”
At that moment, Baekcheon raised his head at the shout that came from nearby.
Then, indeed, a group of people appeared. They were looking in the opposite direction, not at Cheon Woo-maeng’s group.
Baekcheon had a hunch.
It’s over there. If you just get through those guys, Cheongmyeong will be behind you!
That wall-like siege can never be spread out over a wide area!
Baekcheon ran with all his might and spread his sword.
Kaaaaang!
However, unlike before, his sword was blocked by the flying sword in an instant. Those with murderous eyes snarled and glared at Baekcheon.
“You brat!”
Bright blue pottery with a vicious spirit continued to pour out.
Gritting his teeth, Baekcheon parried the attacks and thrust his sword into the neck of Maninbando, who was standing in front.
One, another. It’s slow, but it cuts through. It’s slow, but it penetrates.
But…
‘Not enough!’
This is not enough. Must be stronger. It has to be faster. Only then can we clear this path in time.
“It’s not enough, damn it!”
Finally, his scream came out. His face was twisted with anger and desperation.
helpless If I had been a little stronger, I would have wiped out these guys in an instant. If Cheongmyeong had come to save him instead of seeking Cheongmyeong, he would have already reached Baekcheon’s location.
Just become stronger. Even if it takes a lot of time, you just have to become stronger.
The resolution I once made felt empty at this moment. The moment when he needs to be strong always comes earlier than the moment when he becomes strong. Aren’t you already tired of being frustrated by that wall?
A scene I didn’t want to imagine kept appearing in my mind.
The image of Cheongmyeong being cut by the enemy’s sword. And he arrived there late.
‘no!’
Even if I die, I won’t be able to see that.
In an instant, a great energy burst out of Baekcheon’s body.
“Sasuk!”
“Hey, you crazy human!”
Incomplete self-made work. Baekcheon pulled it up as high as he could.
The magic attack, which has not yet reached full maturity, eats away at the caster’s body. It is not surprising that it is a dangerous thing to do at any time. It was safe to say that it was an act of suicide, especially in a situation like now where there was no resources.
“Move!”
The frightened Yunjong and Jo Geol hurriedly tried to grab him, but Baekcheon shook them off without a moment of hesitation and rushed towards the enemy. The red sword energy that poured from his sword spread like a sunset coloring the west.
‘Please, just stay alive somehow!’
I will definitely save you. No matter what the cost.
