Episode 1569. I go for a walk on days like this. (4)
“Oh my…”
The face of the Black Dragon King Jeok Se-gwang was distorted in a rather complicated way.
volcano.
This is why the Black Dragon King came to Gangbuk in the first place. To tear down and kill those volcanic bastards one by one.
However, the expression on the Black Dragon King’s face when he was faced with the volcano was not as bright as expected. This is because he sensed that the situation was going in a completely different direction than he wanted.
“Why, why are they here!”
“W-don’t back down! “Well, it’s only a few people!”
Screams came from everywhere and pierced his ears.
The time when a hunter is most embarrassed is not when the prey runs away. This is when the prey, which he thought would run away, lunges at the hunter again, trying to bite him.
If you had anticipated and prepared for it, it wouldn’t be a big problem, but wouldn’t it take the life of an experienced hunter if the prey suddenly turns up?
While hunting a prey named Namgung Seg, the enemies were in a panic when they encountered another prey, Hwasan, coming from behind.
Grinding his teeth, the Black Dragon King turned his gaze to Nangong Daowi.
“⋯⋯Are you wasting time?”
“Cough!”
Nangung Dowi, who had vomited a large bowl of black blood, let out a rough breath and looked at the Black Dragon King.
“⋯⋯such⋯⋯ people⋯⋯.”
Wow.
Black Dragon King Jeok Se-gwang is the head of the Yangtze River Road Eighteen Houses. He is better than anyone else at plundering someone and causing chaos.
Therefore, I was able to perfectly understand Nangong Daowi’s words.
If Surochae had been given a little more time, the numbers here would have spread more widely to Gangbuk. In that case, the volcano will also have to disperse its power even more in order to prevent damage to other civilians.
All the Black Dragon King had to do was leisurely hide and wait, and then eat the volcanoes that came to catch him.
Anyway, the volcanoes won’t be able to leave the dying civilians alone.
It’s just one day. It was a plan that would have been feasible if given just one more day.
However, contrary to expectations, the Namgung family rushed straight here and Surochae was also stranded.
“⋯⋯It seems like I’ve done quite a bit of tricking, but even so, it’s just a trivial maneuver. Do you think those guys can take on the heroes of the Yangtze River?”
The Black Dragon King’s words were not wrong.
If the entire volcano group had come here, or at least if they had arrived together, the situation might have been very different. However, it is absolutely impossible for them to handle the ditch alone.
But Namgung Dowi did not waver at all.
“If the opponent… is Surochae, then yes…”
“⋯⋯What?”
Nangong Daowi turned his head with difficulty and looked at the volcano that was advancing in this direction.
“I know.”
Namgung Do-wi pierced his own foot and held on tightly to the sword that was stuck in his hand, steadying his staggering body. He forcibly raised the corners of his mouth.
“Because I learned this from those people.”
“⋯⋯.”
“I… “I’m just doing my part.”
I slowly drew my sword. The sound of a sharp blade grazing bone and being pulled out was eerie.
“I am still alive… “It won’t end until I die.”
The Black Dragon King’s hair stood on end as he saw Nangong Daowi somehow lifting the trembling sword.
“Get out of the way! “You bastards!”
Paaaaat!
Jo Geol’s sword was literally like a beam of light.
The enemy, who was trying to retreat in a hurry, was pierced by that single sword. However, Jo Geol’s face only became more and more distorted.
‘Damn it!’
There are more enemies than you think.
There are too many.
Of course it can be broken through. But if it continues like this…
“late.”
A voice without a single emotion came into my ear.
“When we arrive, Sogaju will die.”
Jo Geol bit her lower lip with the feeling of covering her mouth for a moment. No matter how angry I get, I can’t say goodbye to an accident.
“Damn… “I know!”
But what more can we do here? This is the best way to move forward while leading those behind you.
“Jo girl! Yoonjong! “This theory!”
At that moment, Baekcheon’s voice was heard shouting.
“Stick to me!”
“Sasuk!”
“What are you trying to do?”
“White shark!”
“Yes, death penalty!”
Instead of answering Jo Geol’s question, Baekcheon ordered Baeksang.
“Take command!”
“Death penalty! “I…”
“You can do it! “It’s completely possible!”
Baeksang, pushed by a force that sounded like a threat, nodded without realizing it.
“Oh, I understand.”
After finishing what he wanted to say, Baekcheon looked straight ahead. If things continue like this, we will have to watch with our eyes open as the Black Dragon King kills Nangong Daowi and escapes.
We may be able to save the remaining warriors of the Namgung family, but what is the point if we lose Namgung Dowi?
“Break through as quickly as possible!”
“No, Sasuk! “It’s too dangerous!”
Yunjong tried to stop him, but Baekcheon was firm.
“No time to argue! “Get out of the way!”
“This…”
The moment Yoonjong tried to stop him somehow, Yoo Yi-seol and Jo Geol jumped forward as if they were salty.
“hot!”
“Oooooh!”
The red plum blossoms released by the two instantly swept away the enemies in front of them.
“Aaaahhh!”
It may have been only a moment, but the space suddenly opened up. The two people who got down there kicked the ground and ran forward as if they were competing.
Paaaaat!
Baekcheon’s sword mercilessly pierces the bodies of those who are caught up in the attack of the two and are unable to come to their senses.
A small gap opened when the enemy’s body fell. Baekcheon threw his body there and kicked the ground. And he shouted.
“If you don’t want to come, take command from behind!”
However, the bloodshot eyes of the enemy who fell after being pierced by Baekcheon’s sword instantly regained life. It is the final madness and struggle. Amiza, who was fighting a fierce game with all her might, was quickly thrown towards Baekcheon.
That’s when Baekcheon noticed this and was shocked.
Kaang!
“Damn it.”
Yunjong, who had taken away the amijah and cut off the enemy’s life in one go, clung to Baekcheon’s side and growled.
“Are you in a situation to brag about it?”
“This bastard…”
“If you want to go that way, just stick close to my back. “It’s not my fault that you can’t keep up!”
Faaah!
I didn’t even hear an answer. Yoonjong kicked the ground and moved forward quickly.
His sword stretched out in all directions simultaneously. This is not a sword that kills enemies. It is a sword that threatens and pushes away.
A young sword that is determined not to let even a single person approach Baekcheon.
Looking at the sword, Baekcheon’s face slowly hardened. But even for a moment.
“Please, Sang-a!”
“Yes, death penalty!”
Baekcheon also followed behind Yunjong and advanced.
Although they never shared everything in words, their goals were very clear.
“Black Dragon King!”
Baekcheon shouted loudly.
When the odds are against you, aim for the enemy’s leader. Of course, enemies are not usually stupid, so they do not show up in places where they can easily target their heads.
But now, the Black Dragon King Jeok Se-gwang is clearly within range.
We cannot miss this opportunity that Namgung Dowi risked his life to create. If you miss the Black Dragon King here, don’t you know how many more lives you will have to risk to kill that guy?
“Haaaaaaaap!”
Baekcheon’s sword drew bright red flower petals.
Throbbing!
At the same time, pain as if being cut with a knife came over my Danjeon.
In the past, vivid plum blossoms were blooming as easily as breathing, but now, even drawing dull petals that is incomparable to the past had to endure this much pain.
‘So what’s the problem?’
It doesn’t matter.
I didn’t fight because I was strong. I didn’t throw myself into it because I could win.
I fought because I had to fight, and I threw myself because I had to throw myself. It’s still the same now.
“Sogaju!”
Jo Geol’s shout was heard from the front.
Soon, the sight of Namgung Dowi being pushed by the Black Dragon King’s scimitar and falling down, sprinkling blood, was clearly visible.
“Get out of the way, you bastards!”
At that moment, dozens of nets burst overhead.
“Stop it!”
“Don’t try to kill me! All you have to do is grab your ankles and stretch!”
Jo Geol swore and thrust his sword upward.
“What an obvious move!”
The net that had tormented them so much in the past was torn apart by a single sword.
Jo Geol’s sword has become incomparably sharper than before. Now, it is difficult for Baekcheon to even dare to imitate him.
Yu Iseol’s sword also shows off its elegance to the extreme. Even following Geomro is no longer easy.
However, it was difficult for even two such strong people to break through the crowds of people and the hooks flying from all directions at once.
‘If this continues, it will be too late!’
Baekcheon bit his lip.
The hand holding the sword trembled.
If inaction was fine. If only his sword were as sharp as it was in the past.
The person running in the lead must have been none other than Baekcheon. And such an obstacle would have been overcome long ago.
But he can’t do that now. Because he knows that taking the lead will only slow down the advance.
A sense of helplessness fills me up and grabs my ankles.
Was it too much? Is the agreement advocated by the weak just an act of cruelty from the start?
“Like this leech!”
Nevertheless, Baekcheon gritted his teeth and kept moving forward. Because it has to be that way.
It was then.
“Still stupid. “At this point, it’s a disease.”
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached my ears.
Baekcheon looked back.
Then, as if looking through a mirror, I suddenly saw a man with a similar face following closely behind me.
“Huh…?”
“It’s beyond reckless, it’s crazy. But…”
Jingeumryong passed by him and muttered softly as he walked forward.
“I’ll join in on the madness just this once. “Just this once.”
“I will open the way, Deputy Jangmun!”
Lee Song-baek also passed by Baek-cheon with a determined look on his face.
It was an instant for Lee Song-baek to catch up with the leader. His sword came down like a mountain and cut the enemies into pieces.
“I am Lee Song-baek of Jong-nam! “Whoever wants to die, come forward!”
A loud cry erupts along with red blood.
Baekcheon could not erase his embarrassed expression.
“What, what, you guys?”
“Don’t run wild like a monkey.”
“Well, this bird… no. I beg your pardon?”
“Get out of the way! “It’s disturbing!”
Jingeumryong, who pushed Baekcheon, spewed out endless white snowflakes with his sword.
Jo Geol, who saw the scene, also swung his sword with all his might, drawing a bright red plum blossom.
Black energy as white as snow and black energy as red as a plum leaf mix together.
In the past, the sword energy that used to shoot towards each other and seemed to be unable to mix is now heading towards the same place.
“⋯⋯It’s something we will live to see for a long time.”
Yunjong muttered blankly. Those words perfectly represented Baekcheon’s feelings.
But I can’t afford to give in to inspiration for long. Baekcheon shouted.
“Yoonjong!”
“yes?”
“Open the way.”
“⋯⋯.”
“request!”
Yoonjong bit his lower lip gently.
“It would be faster to go forward than to go back.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Stick close, Sasuk!”
“okay!”
The hesitation disappeared from Yoonjong’s face.
The meaning is still different. I don’t even think this is right.
But if the goal is the same, that’s probably okay.
“Yaaaa!”
Yun Jong, who went to the front in one go, slashed the side of the retreating enemy.
“What are you doing! “Are you going to lose to those Jongnam guys?”
“I know! Damn it!”
At Yoonjong’s shout, Jo Geol raised the corner of her mouth as if twisting.
‘Yes, this is how it should be!’
Jo Geol smiled with wild eyes and swung his sword.
“Don’t fall behind! “I’m leaving at once!”
He kicked the ground and rushed forward.
