Episode 1711 That’s it. (6)
Lim So-byeong’s mouth slowly opened in shock.
White… … . No, in an instant, dozens of cracks spread across the red-stained cliff. As if dozens of hungry dragons were rushing up the cliff.
At the sight that seemed to symbolize the word ‘collapse’, Lim So-byeong screamed until his throat was torn without even realizing it.
“Get back! It’s collapsing!”
Likewise, those who were looking at the cliff in confusion became meditative and threw themselves backwards with all their might. The place they had to retreat to was full of scammers, but in the current situation, it wasn’t that big of an obstacle.
They weren’t the only ones trying to escape after seeing the situation on the cliff.
Kurung! Grumble!
The red cliffs were literally twisted. The rock cracked and rubbed along the cracks drawn like a spider’s web, creating a bizarre roar that made the hair on the whole body stand on end.
And finally… … .
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The cliff collapsed along with the construction of the roof.
Everyone panicked and started running in the opposite direction of the cliff.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Broken rocks tumble, and rocks collide with each other in the air, making a bursting sound. All of that came rushing down the cliff in the name of ‘fear.’
“more! Go further! more!”
Mo Yongwi-gyeong shouted at the top of his lungs.
In Hubei, he had already witnessed the unprecedented hell with his own eyes, but the current collapse gave him a different level of fear than before.
“Damn it, why don’t you step back further!”
It’s as if the cliff’s collapse was already planned. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that there will be no harm to those who take a break in advance.
But even though I knew that fact in my head, I couldn’t calm down when I saw such a huge collapse right in front of my eyes. Everyone’s face turned an earthy tone in bewilderment.
“Aaaahhh!”
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
Someone’s screams pierce through a huge roar. Humans were being mixed and crushed by the rocks of the cliff that were collapsing and pouring down like silt. It was truly a terrible sight.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Rocks that fell from the bottom of the cliff plummeted and shook the ground. Even those who got far away from the cliff shivered at the unfamiliar sensation of violent vibrations beneath their feet.
Even this was just the beginning.
Bigger and more rocks fell like hail. Literally swallowing up hundreds of people who were standing on the cliff.
Lim So-byeong, who had been staring at the horrendous and shocking sight, shifted his gaze to a higher place.
‘please… … .’
He unconsciously grabbed the fan tightly. His dry knuckles turned pure white.
Namgung Dowi shook his body.
He escaped the cliff before the collapse began and landed on the ground made of grass and dirt, but his heart was still in that collapsing cliff.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
That huge collapse may be swallowing up the volcano on top of the cliff. But for now, I have no choice but to just watch it. He gritted his teeth until his jaw muscles bulged.
“this… … !”
“No, Dowie!”
Nangong Ming held onto Nangong Daowi’s shoulder as tightly as steel and did not let go.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Nangung Dowi’s eyes were bloodshot.
In the meantime, there was something else that was troubling his heart.
People who have lost their footing are falling like rain. Namgung Dowi’s trained eyes were able to accurately read the expressions on their faces as they fell, even though the surroundings were clouded with dust.
Disbelief, despair, and terrible resentment.
This was the face seen by those who could not believe until the very end that they would be abandoned when they faced certain death. This was so gruesome that it was difficult to open your eyes and see.
“count… On top… … .”
Lee Song-baek’s mesmerizing voice was heard from not far away.
The scale of the collapse far exceeded their expectations.
Even this may have been less than half of the collapse originally planned by the Society, but the shock of the sight of the entire mountain collapsing did not fade. Lee Song-baek could not move his body, as if he had been frozen.
Can people survive there? There is no need to worry. If he were a human being made of flesh and blood, he would never come out alive. never… … .
“Don’t act rashly, Jingeumryong!”
At that moment, Zong Ligoo’s sharp voice pierced Song Baek’s ears. I was startled and turned around to see that Jongligok was holding down Jingeumryong’s shoulder with the sheath of his sword.
Although I was surprised by Zhongligok’s extreme movements, what was even more shocking was Jingeumryong’s horribly distorted face.
“Jingeum… … .”
“I know, Jang Mun-in!”
Jin Jin-ryong shouted as he cut off Zhongli-gok’s horse. He was so badly bitten that his lower lip was bleeding.
Even if Jin Geumryong steps forward now, there is nothing he can do. For now we just have to wait. Jin Geum-ryong is not unaware of that fact.
but… … .
Jin Geum-ryong, who was silent for a moment, clenched his fists.
“It’s just that we’re so miserable that we left the cliff to live alone!”
“this guy… … .”
Jingeumryong silently stared at the spot where the top of the cliff was.
If they… … He must have fallen off that cliff. If Hwasan had been a sect that had suffered so easily, the Jongnam of the world would not have been humiliated.
‘… … Jinjin-ryong.’
It must be so, it must be!
* * *
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Kwak Hoe suddenly lost strength in his legs and collapsed on the spot.
dump.
Perhaps because of the shock of being thrown to the ground, Jo Geol, who was on his back, flinched and opened her eyes.
He forced his heavy eyelids up, looked around, and then grabbed Huo Hui’s shoulder. Just that small movement caused a painful moan to escape his mouth.
“eww… … .”
The cliff where they had stepped and fought fiercely a moment ago had changed into a strange shape.
The cliff that had stretched high into the sky was now hollow as if it had been plowed by a huge hoe.
And those who existed on it also disappeared.
Rurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Only the noise coming from below, out of sight, and the intense vibrations traveling through my body explained what was happening.
“oh my god… … .”
It was a much bigger disaster than even vaguely predicted. All Joe Girl could do was open his mouth and tremble.
A newly created void is spreading out. Right in front of the archers of the Namhae Sun Palace who were standing to block the retreat.
For a moment, Jo Geol felt her hair flush. He broke into a cold sweat.
What does this mean? This means that if it had been just a little bit later, everything would have collapsed along with the cliff. Without leaving a single person behind.
‘It’s a miracle… … .’
I realized once again that I had succeeded in escaping, which was truly a miracle. But I couldn’t bring myself to breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a narrow space left on either side of the collapsed cliff. In that part of the mountain that was barely attached to the mountain, there were still some Sapae-ryeon members who had collapsed from exhaustion.
These are the people who luckily escaped death, which could not have been prevented by manpower.
Of course, those who were chosen by this lucky number are less than half of those who climbed the cliff.
Hundreds of people who were not selected fell into despair in an instant. Not by the enemy, but by the strategy of our allies.
Clutter.
The sound of someone grinding their teeth while suppressing anger was heard. There was no need to check who it was. After all, everyone who looks at this scene feels the same way.
“It seems like the people below were able to stop the guys who were playing tricks on the cliff to some extent. “If we hadn’t done that, the entire cliff would have collapsed.”
Listening to Tang Gunak’s muttering, a hollow laugh escaped Jo Geol’s mouth.
That means that less than half of the Sapae-ryeon members who would have died according to the Sapae-ryeon’s plan survived thanks to Cheonwoo-maeng’s hard work.
What on earth should I say about this situation?
“Matriarch, they… … .”
“The battle is over.”
“… … yes?”
Tanggunak gazed intently at somewhere beyond the collapsed cliff. Anger was boiling coldly deep within my eyes.
“That’s probably… … “The person who did this knows best.”
* * *
Hu Jiaming stared at the collapsed cliff with a face as hard as stone.
He did not move, as if he had become a rock in place of the collapsed cliff. There wasn’t even a single exclamation let alone his words.
The lieutenants looked at his expression and struggled to open their mouths.
“Military, next… … .”
Hu Jiaming closed his eyes without saying a word. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he slowly opened his eyes and unexpectedly burst into laughter.
“Next… … .”
Could something like that exist?
The words that had been sitting on the tip of my tongue, flowing out under the guise of peace.
“Retreat.”
“Gu, military! “Did you say retreat now?”
“… … Yes.”
“Hana, not yet…” … .”
“The battle here is already over.”
“Uh, soldier. There are troops left on the cliff. Our power is still against them… … .”
“That’s why.”
“… … yes?”
Hu Jiaming stared at the cliff that had not yet collapsed. Since there was space left, about half of the series would have survived.
If you think about it simply, you are conserving power, but if you look at it more objectively, it is like taking on a bomb that could explode at any moment.
Unless they are stupid, they probably don’t know what happened to them. If your anger gets carried away by the heat of battle, there will be no way to control the direction of the blade.
Cheonwoo-maeng, positioned at the bottom of the cliff, will never miss that opportunity.
If I had to risk everything to win here, I would take the risk and continue the attack, but the meaning of this battle is not that grand anyway.
However, I can’t help but regret one thing.
‘rather… … .’
What if that cliff had completely collapsed and even left the Sapae-ryeons who remained on the cliff alone with their souls… … .
‘No, no.’
But soon Hu Jiaming shook his head.
It already happened anyway. It cannot be denied that it was their skill that prevented the collapse to that extent.
The Sapaeryeon led by Hu Jiaming was defeated by Tianwu Meng. That’s it. Anything more than this is nothing more than a dirty excuse.
“Signal to retreat. “I’m leaving.”
“Military… … .”
“How many times do I have to say this again?”
“Oh, no!”
The deputies quickly gave a signal. Then, those around them quickly fired signal flares in all directions.
Hu Jiaming, who stood silently for a moment, sneered.
“I’m a kid… … .”
I lost to those kids. Without even any room for excuses.
This is the Sapaeryun that even brutally trampled on Shaolin.
Even though he used the biggest card he could use, ‘Jang Il-so’, and knocked down the Plum Blossom Sword Demon here, he was unable to handle the names of Hwasan and Cheonyu-maeng.
“It’s just that I…” … .”
Hu Jiaming muttered softly and gazed endlessly at the cliff. As if he wanted to get stuck there.
Then, after a while, he turned around.
A look of solemnity flashed across his face as he went down the mountain with his back to the collapsed cliff.
