“Rain, damn them, you bastards!”
“Well, that cliff… … !”
“Stop it! No, surround it and kill it!”
The scammers began to run wild like wild boars that had been hit by a fine.
Mujin was quite taken aback by the sight of the wild snakes swaying and shaking wildly, as it did not fit the situation.
‘This?’
It was a clearly different reaction than before. These are the people who laughed as if they were looking at a wounded deer even when they were faced with the shaman of the world.
But now, I could clearly see the tension and deep fear on his face.
In terms of numbers, it’s only about 100.
In this place where thousands of warriors gather, one hundred is a number that can be described as insignificant. However, the world’s four enemies are now trembling over those one hundred enemies.
“This way!” “Finish these guys off first!”
“Kill them before they get here!”
But at that moment.
The people who were shaking as if they were about to rush towards the volcano suddenly turned their heads and started attacking the shaman.
Kaang!
Mujin quickly blocked the flying knife. At first glance, the enemies were now desperate.
Kaga River!
Mujin’s eyes briefly wavered as he swung his sword and caught the sword again.
‘These guys… … ?’
The Sapae ryeondans have become more urgent than ever before.
It seemed as if something big would happen if the shaman they surrounded and the volcano that had just climbed up the cliff joined together.
It was completely different from the way he relaxed and pressured and dealt with the shaman. These are not the demons that laughed at the dying shaman’s swordsmen.
What Mujin sees now are a bunch of little guys frozen in front of a fearful enemy. It makes me worry so absurdly that I will never be able to demonstrate even half of my skills… … A bastard from Sapa.
“Anyway!”
Paaaat!
Jinhyeon slashed the flying spear with his sword and ended the opponent’s life in one fell swoop. He smiled bitterly as he cut down the enemy, losing precision due to his urgency.
“While we are here acquiring martial arts… … “The volcano appears to have intimidated its enemies.”
Mujin did not answer. A feeling that was difficult to describe came to him.
‘no. Now is not the time to indulge in sentimentality.’
Mujin bit his lip tightly.
No matter what kind of sentiment you have, you have to survive to be worthy of it.
Even though salvation has come, they have not yet gotten out of the quagmire. Rather, the enemies’ blades became sharper and more ferocious.
“Hold on!”
I feel extreme pain from the lost eye. My body hurts, as if my danjeon has reached its limit and all that remains is to be torn apart.
But isn’t the fact that he can feel all this pain so vividly proof that he is alive now?
Love it!
Mujin struck down the flying sword holding a bright blue sword.
The attack was blocked, but my wrist was sore and my legs were bent. Now, his body doesn’t even have enough strength left to withstand the attack from the nameless Safain.
bang!
However, if the essence of Taijiquan is to use the enemy’s power, you can still fight. Mujin clenched his teeth as he hit the enemy’s chin with his elbow and unleashed his three swords at once over the fallen enemy.
‘can do!’
Although it only adds up to one hundred, the result is not just that. Those 100 people are completely changing the landscape on this cliff.
“Survive somehow until it completely merges with the volcano!”
Mujin shouted at the top of his lungs.
* * *
Cold eyes looked over the cliff.
‘Will it work?’
A short sigh escaped Lim So-byeong’s mouth. Fortunately, the volcano on the cliff seems to be active.
‘Even without the Cheongmyeong seal, a volcano is a volcano!’
How many battlefields have they been through so far, and how many factions have they faced?
Even if you search all over the world, there is no one who knows and is as familiar with Sapa as they do. In particular, Hwasan is the one who cannot be compared to any other sect against the Sapaeryeon.
‘Fortunately, it seems that shamans have not been wiped out yet.’
Lim So-byeong’s eyes sank.
Save the shaman somehow.
It doesn’t matter even if there are only a few left. If we can achieve that one goal, we will be able to destroy Shaolin and break the momentum of Sapaeryun, which has risen to the very end of the sky.
“Then the next question is how to get out of here… … .”
Lim So-byeong, who had no doubt that Hwasan would do it and was about to look away, stopped muttering and flinched.
‘what?’
Goosebumps burned down my spine. His eyes quickly traced the identity of the discomfort.
A tall cliff rising toward the sky from where he was standing.
The left and right ends of this cliff used to be called Baekanam because it was made of white rock, but has now been more appropriately named Jeokanam (赤顔巖).
A group of unidentified drones appeared on a slope adjacent to a steep rock.
“I… … case?”
They newly appeared on the cliff where Sapa’s miscreants were still hanging tightly, and started running sideways, kicking off the steep rock.
An ominous premonition struck my mind like a thunderbolt. Soon, Lim So-byeong opened his eyes so wide that they were torn apart.
“Oh, no… … “It’s okay.”
A horribly loud scream burst from his mouth.
“Stop it!”
A despair that could not be hidden flashed in his eyes.
Yunjong looked back in shock. Then Jo Geol suddenly screamed.
“What are you doing, death penalty!”
“No, now… … .”
“Let’s run until there’s time to look back!”
“… … okay.”
Yoonjong looked away, biting his lip slightly due to an unknown feeling. Something about him sent a chill down the back of his head. But as Jo Geol said, now is not the time to look back.
Even when he hesitates for a moment, the shaman’s disciples are falling down, spewing blood.
‘I can’t hold on any longer!’
You can tell at a glance. They have already exhausted all their strength.
A shaman who has been fighting non-stop under the fear of countless enemies coming that he cannot even dare to confront, and under the extreme pressure of having to protect his sect, must have already reached his limit.
We need to create a space for them to catch their breath as soon as possible. Unless you really want to see the name shaman end here.
“Run!”
Yunjong shouted uncharacteristically harshly and swung his sword.
The retreating enemies were mercilessly pierced by the tip of his sword. Yunjong accelerated, enduring the feeling of cutting off a person’s life with a cold sword that he could never get used to no matter how many times he repeated it.
‘What about Sasuk?’
Yet he continued to pay attention to Baekcheon. He just can’t get his mind off it.
Baekcheon’s energy was felt a little behind him, not far away. Although it is not the vanguard, it is the front line. A position where you have to take the enemy’s offensive with your whole body.
Yoonjong gritted his teeth without realizing it.
know. Know.
Baekcheon is the person who must stand in front. As long as Cheongmyeong is not there, all the swordsmen in Hwasan will be following Baekcheon’s back.
Although Jo Geol and Yoon Jong clear the way, whether Baek Cheon stands in front or not has an absolute impact on morale. but… … .
“Damn it!”
The sword energy that Yoonjong exuded became harsh.
‘I… … I should have been stronger.’
If only he could have taken on the role that Baekcheon is currently playing. If that were the case, Baekcheon wouldn’t have had to push himself so hard.
But Yoonjong cannot do that now. You can push someone’s back, but you can’t lead someone. That was the Yoonjong that Hwaseong was looking at now, and the limitations that Yoonjong himself realized.
“Chaaaaaaap!”
Yunjong’s outstretched sword emitted hundreds of plum blossom sword energy. It was not the usual serious sword. The somewhat roughly scattered plum blossom sword energy pierced through the enemies.
“Death penalty?”
Surprised, Jo Geol looked back at Yoon Jong. It was too deadly to be a sword thrown in a hurry to simply save a shaman.
At that time, Yoonjong spoke out.
“What are you doing! “Whenever you urge me!”
“yes? Ah, yes!”
Jo Geol quickly nodded and ran forward.
Okay, you can think about it later. That’s it for now. You will soon be able to find a shaman.
‘It’s so simple!’
Jo Geol gritted his teeth. Why did he worry so much about something he could have done so easily if he had just stepped forward? … .
‘… … for a moment. easily?’
Quack!
The tip of Jo Geol’s sword, which pierced the enemy’s heart, flinched.
‘Easy?’
The eyes that had been moving forward the whole time also slightly wavered.
Jo Geul looked blankly at the distorted face of his enemy, who fumbled to grasp the sword stuck in his heart. But that was all, the enemy was unable to resist any further and collapsed.
Jo Geol looked at the scene as if he was fascinated for a moment.
“What are you doing! “Are you out of your mind?”
“Ah yes!”
Jogeol gathered her wits again and took a step forward.
The Sapae soldiers, who were turning pale and trying to retreat, seemed to realize that they could not retreat any further, so they screamed like a fit and rushed towards Jogeol.
Paaaaat!
Jo Geol’s three swords were unleashed at once and cut down the bodies of those who were running towards them without resistance. However, even though he defeated the enemy with much ease, Jo Geol’s frozen face did not soften.
Instead, it became more confusing.
‘Was Sapaeryeon such an easy opponent?’
That can’t be possible. How many people in the world know better than Jo Geol how terrible these people are?
Of course, if you want to find a reason, you can find it. They may not have expected the volcano to invade, and the proper elites may not have been in place at the moment the volcano arrived.
Ever since I met Jang Il-so, I can’t even find those damn red-faced bastards, right? but… … .
Jo Geul finally couldn’t bear it anymore and asked.
“execution! These guys… … “Aren’t you weaker than you think?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, these… … .”
“These people have also dealt with shamans so far! “You must be so exhausted!”
Jo Geol kept her mouth shut in response to Yoon Jong’s answer.
There was definitely a look of exhaustion on the faces of the Sapae students. It couldn’t have been easy for them to march all the way here through burning fire in this rugged enemy territory.
Yeah, if you think about it, it’s not strange. It must have been a sign of impatience.
There is still a sense of discomfort, but aren’t they the same people who were driving shamans to their deaths just a little while ago? These people cannot simply be called weak.
“Aaaahhh!”
At that moment, a desperate scream was heard that seemed to cut off Jo Geol’s thoughts.
A red-colored sword was stuck in the chest of a shaman, Geomsu, who fought with all his might.
‘I… … .’
“Aaaahhh!”
Eventually, the embedded sword twisted and cut into his chest.
Although death was already unavoidable, the Tao did not allow the shaman’s swordsman to die a clean death. Every movement of swinging the sword embedded in his body was filled with the malicious intent of inflicting even greater pain on the enemy.
The face of the shaman, Geomsu, who was pale, instantly turned red from the regurgitated blood.
Jo Geol’s mouth suddenly opened.
“You bastards!”
The anger that threatened to explode burst out into a shout.
I don’t have a particular interest in shamans. No, Jo Geol’s feelings toward the shaman are closer to irritation, let alone favor.
From the more distant past to the Yangtze River Incident, shamans have constantly been in conflict with volcanoes.
But now, I couldn’t help but feel angry at the shaman’s suffering.
No matter what the relationship is, the people standing there should not be fooled and die cruelly. As Baekcheon said, there is no such thing as a worthless will in the world.
The boiling anger turned into a strong sword energy and swept away the enemy.
Basically, a camp is like a dam.
When it is solidly constructed, it can block the enemy so that not a single drop of water can escape, but if just one part collapses, it becomes disorganized and collapses in an instant.
In Jo Geol’s view, the shaman’s camp was extremely dangerous. Even if just one place is breached, the entire area will be swept away at once.
‘Faster!’
It was at that moment when Jo Geol gritted his teeth and tried to shake off his sword.
“stop.”
“Huh?”
Jogeol halted the sword he was about to extend and turned around. Before he knew it, Yu Iseol was standing next to him. He still had no facial expression. However, the slightly furrowed eyebrows seemed to indicate something ominous.
“… … accident?”
“There is no direction.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Junggu heating. “It wasn’t like this.”
“Yeah… … .”
Jogeol, who was about to say something, kept her mouth shut.
I was trying to say that with so many people in a small space, it was inevitable that the situation would be overheated.
but… … Did Yu Yi-seol really raise the question without knowing that?
“accident. “What do you mean?”
Yu Iseol looked around without answering. There was still no significant change in her expression, but now in Jo Geol’s eyes, her expression seemed particularly serious.
My mind gradually heated up with urgency.
Now is not the time to worry about such things. Even at this moment, the shaman’s life is at stake.
Jogeol finally turned around.
“I’m coming again.”
“wait.”
“accident! “One o’clock is urgent!”
Despite Jo Geol’s shout, Yu Yi-seol calmed her eyes even further and quickly looked around again.
“trap… … . No, here… … .”
“trap?”
Jo Geol couldn’t understand at all.
“What do you mean by that? How could this be a trap?”
A trap is something that awaits the enemy. Therefore, the word trap cannot be established here. Those who first used this place as a battlefield were shamans, not shamans.
Moreover, this place is built to endure. A good position to annihilate the enemy and a good position to fight and hold out are completely different.
That was the reason why Jo Geol completely ignored the feeling of discomfort that suddenly came to her a little while ago.
“We have already defeated the Hwagong, and since the Tang family is with us, even poison will not work. The only thing left now is people, right? “But now we are breaking through to that person.”
It means that they can’t use more. But Yu Iseol had no answer as to what she was thinking.
“accident!”
The moment Jo Geol tried to urge her again, her mouth opened.
“bait… … .”
“yes?”
Yu Iseol’s gaze went back to the stroke. Beyond the volcano that followed them, to the end of a cliff that seemed to touch the sky.
Yu Iseol, who was looking at the cliff that had been ruined by the black energy in the air, instantly widened her eyes.
“It’s not a person… … . bait.”
“yes?”
“bait? “A shaman?”
“No, the ones here. “Sapaeryeon!”
Jo Geol, who didn’t understand at first, just stared blankly at Yu Yi-seol, who looked bewildered. What on earth is this… … .
“ah!”
Jogeol suddenly turned his head at the voice he heard at that time.
And saw. Yunjong’s face was almost colored in an earthy color. Unlike him, Yoonjong seemed to understand Yu Iseol’s words.
“execution?”
“… … .”
“execution!”
Yunjong’s hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
“Death penalty, what on earth are you talking about… … .”
“Sasuk!”
Yunjong screamed at Baekcheon as if he didn’t have time to respond.
“It’s a trap! We need to get out! Sasuk, right now… … !”
It was that moment.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A huge explosion that seemed to destroy the world erupted from outside the cliff. Everyone who was fighting froze.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Soon, the ground they were standing on began to shake. Left to right, up and down. As if it would tip over and crush at any moment.
“W-what!”
“Get down!”
The Hwasan Swordsmen and the Sapayeons were frightened and lowered themselves all at once. Zhao Geol’s complexion turned pale as he felt a large vibration through his hand on the ground.
“What is this…?” … .”
He reflexively looked at his enemies.
The Sapae ryeondo members were also hunched over and lowering their bodies, just like the volcano. It was obvious that he didn’t even know English. Those eyes and facial expressions can never be made up. There is no need to do that in the first place.
They also didn’t expect this situation at all.
At that moment, a word that she couldn’t understand a moment ago suddenly appeared in Jo Geol’s mind.
bait.
And only then did the questions begin to be answered.
“no way… … .”
Jogeol looked at the edge of the cliff as if fascinated.
A cliff that no one climbs anymore, the sharp end of which could not withstand the shaking and was gradually collapsing.
‘no.’
There was deep fear in his eyes.
It’s not just the fear of this situation. It’s because of a premonition that passed through my head. It was a fear of such vicious malice that it was so terrible that just imagining it made me feel disgusted.
‘No, no! That can’t be… … .’
For now, the thoughts of everyone on the cliff have gathered together. And this terrible prediction came true and came to them without any deviation.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Once again, a huge explosion exploded beneath the cliff, shaking the entire mountain.
The mountain, where animals and birds had already died or fled due to the fire, was momentarily engulfed in silence as the heavy drinking subsided.
After a while, the ground they were standing on began to crack with a crackling sound.
