Episode 1040 You too will find out. (5)
Paaaaat!
Baekcheon rushed in with the setting sun.
Every time he hit the ground, his body flew like a shelter for more than three miles. A speed that immediately brings to mind the word ‘flash war’.
But it wasn’t anything special. Because everyone around him is running at the same speed.
Baekcheon glanced to the side.
Ungeom was running with an expressionless face. It doesn’t look like it’s particularly difficult. Baekcheon, who was internally relieved, looked back this time. Everyone was keeping up and not falling behind.
Ogeum has often experienced such high-speed movements, so I’m not particularly worried. The people he was worried about were none other than Namgung Do-wi and Lim So-byeong.
However, despite the worries, Lim So-byeong, who looked sickly, was running with a calm and frail look on his face. Moreover, Namgung Dowi also catches up well without falling behind.
‘That’s amazing.’
Hwasan is a sect that places great importance on the basics. Of course, now I think that Cheongmyeong has been paying attention not only to the foundation, but also to the motivating power of the sect…. To
put it bluntly, neither Lim So-byeong nor Namgung Do-wi feel much inconvenienced by the speed of the volcano that was built from the foundation. It seemed. It is a sight that gives you an idea of how high their internal strength is.
‘It’s not the time to worry about others.’
Baekcheon’s breathing became slightly heavier.
It’s not like he has a hard time with just this level of light attack. Normally, even if the speed was half that faster, the expression on his face would not have changed at all.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason why Baekcheon felt burdened right now.
Surrounded by fierce warriors dressed in red robes.
Contrary to the refined momentum of the political faction, those who have fully exposed their wild nature, as if they are about to explode at any moment, are running together, surrounding the group as if surrounded by a volcano.
Baekcheon’s face hardened.
I know they don’t have any malice. But it’s inevitable that it becomes a burden. They were fighting with volcanoes sword to sword not long ago.
‘Maninbang….’
Elites wearing Maninbang’s unique white and red robes.
‘Red dog.’
There must have been different names for them at first. It was probably a worthy name. But at some point, Kang-ho started calling them Honggyeon.
red dog.
Jang Il-so’s dog is loyal only to its owner.
It is a derogatory term that is a mixture of fear of Jang Il-so and disparagement of those who follow him. However, the parties involved were actually happy with that name. And they called themselves Honggyeon and showed off their blind loyalty to Jang Il-so.
That’s why Kang-ho was afraid of them even though he called them dogs.
Wearing the symbolic white and red robe, they are always around Jang Il-so, guarding him, and trampling on Jang Il-so’s enemies as members of the tribe.
Those red dogs are now surrounding Hwasan’s disciples.
Every now and then, I felt like the hairs on my whole body were standing on end every time an unrefined energy flew through me. It is a completely different energy from that of the political faction. The sharp wildness was making it impossible for me to relax even for a moment.
‘Is Maninbang this strong?’
Although they are not running with all their might, Hwasan’s group is confident that they are second to none when it comes to light attack.
However, in Maninbang, the number of dogs that can keep up with this speed exceeds a hundred.
Thanks to my experience of dealing with Maninbang’s enemy squad and defeating the group that attacked Hwaseong, my confidence that I thought I could deal with Maninbang at any time was completely shattered.
Baekcheon bit his lip slightly.
‘but.’
This must have been the reason why Maninbang was able to sit as the head of the SPA. No matter how good Jang Il-so was, he would never have been able to rise above those prominent figures if he had not had enough support.
Taaat!
Baekcheon’s legs instinctively gained strength as he kicked the ground.
‘These are the enemies.’
I definitely know that. Isn’t that why Baekcheon can’t let his guard down?
But at this moment, these fearsome people become allies, targeting the same enemy as them.
It was a strange feeling of anxiety, reassurance, discomfort, and anticipation coexisting. At that time, Yoonjong’s voice was heard.
“Sasook. When do you think you’ll arrive?”
“It will be soon.”
It is a thousand miles from Gujiang to Hangzhou. An ordinary person would need to walk every day for 10 days to reach this distance, but for these people, it is a distance that can be reached in just half a day.
Since we ran non-stop from sunrise to sunset, we will probably enter Hangzhou soon.
“…Then I guess I’ll see you soon.”
Words referring to the target were missing. However, everyone here knew who Yoonjong was referring to.
Demonic religion.
Baekcheon, who remembered those two letters, naturally looked ahead. leader of the pack. The two people running at the front.
For a moment, I felt like I couldn’t breathe.
The backs of Cheongmyeong in black military uniform and Jang Il-so in red long robe were engraved in Baekcheon’s eyes like a painting.
‘Never in my lifetime… never thought I’d see those two running side by side.’
No matter what anyone says, the person that Hwasan’s disciples can rely on the most is Cheongmyeong. He is usually the most untrustworthy person in the world, but on the battlefield, Cheongmyeong is the person you can trust more than anyone else.
And no matter what anyone says, the person Hwasan’s disciples fear the most is Jang Il-so. To Hwasan, Jang Il-so was a symbol of hatred and fear at the same time.
Those two people are now leading those following them side by side.
A sight I had never imagined. No, it was a sight that there was no reason to even imagine. So, it was natural for Baekcheon to feel this terrible sense of alienation.
But at the same time…
‘If I say this, I might be called crazy.’
Baekcheon glanced back. It seemed as if he was worried that his inner thoughts might be heard by other disciples.
‘Seeing those two together makes me feel like I’m never going to lose.’
Perhaps other Hwasan disciples are thinking similarly?
At that time, Jang Il-so’s loose voice was heard.
“You seem quite nervous, Hwasan Sword Association.”
Cheongmyeong did not respond to Jang Ilso’s words. I just ran with my eyes fixed forward. However, Jang Il-so smiled slyly as if he had expected such a reaction.
“Don’t be too nervous. There won’t be much for you to do. You just have to finish it at the right time. “It makes me look so ugly to ask a little kid like you to do so much.”
At that moment, Cheongmyeong looked at Jang Il-so running next to him and raised the corners of his mouth. It was a smile so vivid that even Baekcheon running behind him could see it.
“Hmm?”
Jang Il-so asked with a strange expression.
“Why are you smiling?”
“continue.”
“huh?”
“It would be better to talk while you can. “The composure will soon disappear from that face.”
“…Hoo?”
Jang Il-so looked at Cheongmyeong as if he was interested.
“Do you think I am underestimating their power?”
“no. “Someone like you wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.”
“however?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes darkened.
“You will find out.”
“….”
“That there is something in the world that cannot be measured by calculation.”
Cheongmyeong didn’t bother to explain.
I simply turned my head slightly to check on the group following me.
Baekcheon Yu Iseol Yoon Jong Jo Geol and Dang Soso.
The only ones whose complexions changed at the words of Cheongmyeong were those who had experienced the Demonic Bridge in the North Sea. They will know. What meaning does Cheongmyeong’s words contain?
“You’ll probably see things you’ve never imagined.”
As Cheongmyeong spoke sharply, Jang Ilso looked at him with strange eyes.
“That…”
The corners of Jang Il-so’s mouth gradually curled up as if twisted.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
When Jang Il-so lightly gestured, Hu Ga-myeong, who was running not far away, quickly followed. Jang Il-so gave a few instructions in a low voice.
Hu Jiaming quickly nodded and slowed down to join Hong Jian behind him.
Cheongmyeong watched the process with interest in his eyes.
Jang Il-so must have sensed those gazes and smiled slightly as he turned to face Cheongmyeong.
“why? “What are you curious about?”
“…What instructions did you give?”
“Once again. “Just like you said, I’m just telling you not to be surprised no matter what you see.”
“….”
“I don’t know if what you say is right or wrong, but not preparing for what you can prepare for and getting into trouble is something only a fool in the world would do. “If you’re giving me advice, there’s no reason not to take it, right?”
Cheongmyeong let out a laugh.
In the past, even those within the same political faction could not accept his advice as it was. But then again, this Sapa guy is taking his words seriously.
For this guy, there is no distinction between love and death. There is only a distinction between what can be used and what cannot be used.
That thought occurred to me again.
Cheongmyeong and Cheonma are beings that escape the laws of the world. What would have happened to this powerhouse if those people had not appeared?
Perhaps it would have played out as it pleased in this guy’s hands?
From that perspective, it may be none other than Jang Il-so who has to bear the greatest loss due to the two beings, Cheonma and Cheongmyeong.
“It’s a strangely… unpleasant gaze.”
Jang Il-so twisted his red lips. His accessories kept making loud noises.
“Don’t look at me like that. “It makes you want to rip out your eyes, doesn’t it?”
“Crazy guy.”
His words were harsh, but his voice was extremely kind. Cheongmyeong turned his head to the other side with a disgusted expression.
No matter what kind of person Jang Il-so is, it is inevitable that they are not compatible by nature. This is my first time joining hands with this guy.
It was right then.
“excuse me!”
Baekcheon raised his voice as if he had discovered something. Cheongmyeong’s eyes instinctively looked forward.
“….”
At the same time, his brisk feet gradually became slower.
Little by little, it slowed down to a fast pace, and soon it became a slow pace. Then it came to a complete stop.
Everyone who was running like the wind stopped in place.
No one opened their mouths. I couldn’t even hear the sound of breathing.
Everyone just looked at the scene unfolding before their eyes, holding their breath.
All I see is… the ground and a body.
The ground, which had been soaked and dried and stained black with blood, was filled with gruesome corpses.
They know. These are people who have fought countless times, so you can tell just from the sight they left behind. These are not traces of war. Those who fought and resisted, killing each other and using evil, never leave such traces.
This… is just a place where massacres swept by.
“Ouch!”
Tang Xiaoxiao covered his mouth and bowed. Yu Iseol, who was next to her, held her shoulder tightly.
“How…”
There are endless corpses.
I couldn’t even imagine how someone could do something like this. No human being in their right mind would kill even a simple ant like this endlessly.
Jerk.
At that moment, Jang Il-so took a step forward.
“This is…”
Standing in front of the land stained with death, he slowly licked his red lips. A cruel smile appeared on his face, which was completely stained with ghosts.
“It’s Magyo Road.”
A dark look began to form in his two pale eyes.
