Episode 1716 Put your neck on the line. (One)
“Who are you?”
“What kind of people are they!”
When strangers appeared in the courtyard, the shaman’s swordsmen were startled and took out their swords. Then, they spread out a thick line, blocking Baekcheon and the sky as if to protect them.
‘When did it appear?’
Cold sweat ran down the spines of the shaman swordsmen.
Although it is said that there was no rush to take care of the injured, it is hard to believe that they could not even notice while so many people were approaching so close by.
‘They’re not ordinary guys.’
This cannot happen unless the opponent’s skills are at least as great as they are.
No, there is no need to make such calculations in the first place. It was enough to guess their inaction just from the elegiac energy felt by those occupying the yard.
“Who are you?” … .”
The man, whose entire body was covered in dark red bandages as if his blood had dried and discolored, laughed at the shaman disciples who were very wary.
“I guess that’s important now. “The midfielders are definitely fun to think about.”
A soft laugh spread through the silence.
It was a laugh that was not only unpleasant but also ominous. The creepy attire, the murderous tone of voice, and the leaking energy all struck a nerve in a strange way and made the shaman’s disciples uncomfortable.
However, the anxiety and discomfort they felt was nothing compared to what Ogeum felt as he stood by Baekcheon’s side.
‘Damn it.’
Jo Geol’s entire body became damp with cold sweat. The author’s sudden appearance made his hair stand on end.
It is an absolute powerhouse. I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure he won’t be that far behind the Sun Palace Lord.
‘Blood palace… … .’
I heard it from Baekcheon. It is said that after the blood palace appeared in Shaolin, she retreated without any major conflict.
The blood palace, which is not even clear as to whether it is affiliated with the Sapaeryeon, has now revealed itself.
‘Damn… … .’
Have you ever said that a good person does not come, and a good person does not come, and a person who comes is not good?
Even though their purpose is not clear, it can be assumed that they did not appear here with good intentions.
Jo Geol looked at Baek Cheon, who was still lying unconscious, and bit his lower lip.
‘Dangerous.’
The current Baekcheon is like a bomb on fire. Even a small impact can end your life.
Ultimately, this means that if a battle breaks out, Baekcheon’s life will end at that moment. Moreover, aren’t the five swords, Tanggunak, Mujin, and even Jinhyeon that must be faced all tied up and pouring their energy on one Baekcheon person?
‘What should I do?’
Although Jo Geol was pouring out his energy, he quickly moved his confused head.
The moment Baekcheon removes this hand, he dies. But if we don’t let go, the remaining personnel won’t be able to handle them.
Which life is more important? Who should be saved?
I desperately looked around. However, the others who were touching Baekcheon’s body also seemed confused. That was the way his eyes were shaking wildly.
‘When will this damn treatment end?’
The best I could think of right now was for Hungong to stop this treatment for a while, but it was impossible to convey these words to Hungong, who had already entered the realm of selflessness.
You are literally trapped in a limbo with nowhere to escape.
“This is ridiculous. “It’s a shame.”
The blood palace lord also seemed to know the situation perfectly. You can see the corner of his mouth covered in bandages twitching strangely.
His red-lit eyes turned to Baekcheon on the bed.
“previously… … “I remember it being quite energetic.”
At that moment, Jo Geol saw. As the blood lord finished her sentence, he gradually strengthened her loosely hanging hands.
The thread of tension is pulled taut. The moment this thread breaks, they will attack Baekcheon and everyone else.
‘Please do something… … . Somebody please!’
However, to put Jo Geol’s earnest heart to shame, a red glow finally emerged from the blood palace lord’s eyes.
“Would you like to pay off the debt you owed in Shaolin first?”
The blood palace lord’s knees were slightly bent. It was at that moment that Jo Geol, who knew what this posture meant, closed his eyes tightly without realizing it.
“Your master.”
Someone opened his mouth and stepped forward. Without even thinking about hiding my hands that were shaking from nervousness.
Surprised, Jo Geol looked blankly at the person who stepped forward.
‘Sasuk?’
Baeksang stepped forward to face the blood palace lord alone. After swallowing dryly for a moment, he spoke again.
“Your master seems to have given the order to retreat, so what are you still doing here? “Isn’t he stupid enough to not listen to his orders?”
It’s an obvious point of contention. He couldn’t even hide the trembling of his voice, so it just seemed like he was struggling. Baeksang was that desperate.
“master?”
But surprisingly, the blood palace lord responded to those words. I don’t know if that expression is truly offensive, or if it’s the composure of a cat that has trapped a mouse in its poison.
“It’s the owner… … . Interesting. Who dares to be our master? What about the Sapa bastard from the central plains?”
A bright red light poured out from the blood palace lord’s eyes.
Aside from the inaction, those eyes had a force that made anyone who encountered them cringe. An energy closer to death rather than evil.
However, the white elephant did not easily back down even in the face of breathtaking fear.
The moment he steps back, Baekcheon dies. For Baeksang, who knew that, there was no place to retreat to in the first place.
“Are you saying you’re not the owner?”
“There is only one person who can be our master.”
“I don’t think that’s what the bastards who crawled here as they ordered would say.”
“It’s a name… … . What a pathetic guy. “He said that an order to retreat was given by me a little while ago, and then he said something that didn’t make any sense.”
The brief interest that flashed in the blood palace lord’s eyes quickly cooled. But at that moment, Baeksang spoke.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“hmm?”
The blood palace lord tilted his head. It was not a gesture to ignore or push the other person away. He was truly taken aback by Baek Sang’s words.
“… … “Did you say it was a deal now?”
“Okay, deal. Even if you are not good at speaking here, you will understand that much.”
“You and me?”
“okay.”
The blood palace lord looked at Baeksang with a strange look.
Baeksang’s entire body became wet with cold sweat as he felt as if a venomous snake was scanning his entire body. But even in the meantime, he desperately squeezed out words.
“If you are not the head of the Sa Sect, and if Jang Il-so is not your master, then of course you will be able to trade with us. Say what you want. “I will give you what you want in exchange for your obedience to leaving this place.”
The blood palace lord slightly twitched his finger. At the same time, Baeksang’s eyes began to flutter.
Of course, I know that this is absurd. But right now, Baeksang had no choice but to do this.
‘At least you’ll feel interested.’
I already heard from Baekcheon about what happened in Shaolin. This person has a history of turning around without regret the moment he felt that his situation was at a disadvantage. That means that they are completely different from those the volcano has dealt with so far.
What interest wants is profit. That too is a complete benefit without any harm or loss to themselves. If only you could guarantee that… … .
“If you really came here without any connection to their name, the Sapae-ryeon wouldn’t even know that you were here. So, it wouldn’t be a loss if I got what I got and got away with it, right?”
There was no reaction from the blood palace lord. Those who reacted were rather shamans and volcanoes.
“stamp! In my right mind now… … !”
“quietly!”
Baeksang glared at the person shouting behind him. The shaman’s sword was momentarily speechless at that murderous face.
Baeksang scolded sharply.
“Keep your mouth shut. for a moment!”
Then he took a deep breath and looked at the blood palace lord again.
“transaction… … . It’s a deal… … .”
The blood palace lord, who was muttering for a moment, chuckled.
“okay. Definitely not bad. “It’s enough for us to just benefit.”
Baeksang asked calmly on the outside, even though he was happy on the inside.
“What do you want?”
“Wealth. And elixir. Oh, if you can give me a quality weapon, it would be nice.”
“I can give you as much as I want… … .”
“And let me add one little thing to that.”
Baeksang’s face slowly hardened. When talking about ‘little things’, a strange smile appeared on the blood palace lord’s face.
“Something?”
The blood palace lord pointed at something behind the white robe with his chin.
“The guy’s neck lying there.”
“… … what?”
“It would be better if the supply and demand were painfully cut off. “I have to pay the debt I owe.”
Baeksang’s face became indescribably hard.
“that… … .”
“Ah, this is a condition that can never be removed. “Sometimes there are things more important than wealth.”
There was a sneer in the blood palace lord’s eyes.
Only then did Baeksang have an intuition. The desperate conversation he had just had was nothing more than the play of a cat chasing a mouse to the blood palace lord.
“Now then, for the count of three, cut off the guy’s head and bring it to me. Then I’ll spare the rest.”
“Now, wait… … !”
The blood palace lord stretched out three strangely long, dry fingers.
“three.”
One of the outstretched fingers slowly folded.
Baeksang quickly looks back. The shamans and swordsmen of the volcano standing behind them all reflexively looked back.
“two.”
However, the eyes of those surrounding Baekcheon did not waver even a single bit.
“one.”
The last remaining finger folded resolutely, and a horrifyingly cracked voice rang out.
“Negotiations have collapsed.”
bang!
At that moment, the blood palace lord radiated red blood from his entire body and rushed towards the white elephant.
Baeksang instinctively drew his sword. It must be stopped. Even if it costs me my life right here, I have to stop that bastard from reaching Baekcheon!
But before even half of his sword was pulled out, the blood palace lord’s sword, wrapped in bandages, dug into Baeksang’s neck.
‘ah… … .’
It was the moment when Baeksang closed his eyes tightly, sensing the impending death.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted right in front of me. Due to the momentary pressure, the white elephant was thrown back a long way and collapsed.
“What… … ?”
what?
I reflexively felt his neck and found that his neck was still attached to his body.
‘what happened… … .’
The white elephant calmed its pounding head and stared blankly ahead. Only then did it catch her eye. Sam Jang retreated further from where he was and saw the blood palace lord faltering, covering his face with one hand.
“this person… … .”
When he lowered his hand, the cruelly distorted face of the blood palace lord was revealed.
At that time, a soft voice pierced my ears.
“Where are you going to put your dirty hands? “It’s dried out.”
“ah… … !”
Baeksang and the others all flinched and trembled.
Because it was a very familiar voice. It’s not even an illusion.
widely.
A person got down in front of Baeksang.
“wife… … .”
The moment they saw a familiar figure wearing a familiar military uniform, Baeksang and the other Hwasan disciples shouted at the same time.
“Cheongmyeong!”
“Even if it looks like this, it’s still my precious private residence.”
Cheongmyeong relaxed his body by moving his neck from side to side, narrowed his eyes and glared at the blood palace lord.
“Okay, then let’s deal again. “This time, I’m putting my neck on the line.”
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Cheongmyeong’s mouth.
