Episode 1289 Because it’s a sight I’m tired of seeing. (3)
We are accustomed to war. Of course, they are used to fighting and risking their lives.
That belief in myself wasn’t strange. There was nothing wrong with it.
It was a time of peace. For nearly a hundred years since the war with the Demon Cult, Kangho has been at peace.
Only Gangnam, and especially the southern end of Gangnam, where all the people lived, was engulfed in fire. Therefore, there is probably no one in the current powerhouse who has experienced as much war and seen as much bloodshed as these people.
In that sense, the confidence they had had a clear basis.
However, there is only one thing they missed.
The war they went through and the war that Qingming went through had completely different outcomes.
Since this fact could not be understood, it was impossible to understand the existence of the Hwasan Sword Association in the first place.
“Huh…”
A series of desperate screams were heard.
Someone shouted in anger. I couldn’t hear exactly what was being said, but I could understand the meaning without having to listen.
Avoid.
He said that he had to run away from this place right away, that he had to turn his back on the beast that was charging at him and run with all his might.
However, Cho Nam-cheon, the disciple of the Death Gate, could not move even a single step from that spot. It’s not that it doesn’t move. It couldn’t move.
His head was desperately telling his legs to turn back and run, but his feet didn’t come off the ground at all, as if they had been glued together.
A rat that sees a snake in front of its nose often freezes on the spot. Faced with a predator he had never encountered before, Jo Nam-cheon’s body refused to listen to his commands and froze in place.
The difference is that the snake slowly swallows the frozen mouse, but now the devil is ravenously targeting him. That was the difference.
Paaaaaa!
Suddenly!
The blood-stained sword struck Jo Nam-cheon’s head in one fell swoop. Cheongmyeong, who didn’t even have time to wait for his body to collapse, stepped on his chest one after another, jumped over Jo Namcheon’s neck, where blood was gushing out, and rushed forward.
Like a tiger stalking its prey. No, like a snake rushing through the bushes.
He was covered in the blood of countless Safa people and seemed close to a blood person. Even though everything was red, soaked in hot blood, only the two black eyes were giving off a cool chill. The look in his eyes was so cold that even the viewer’s heart would stop.
“Stop it!”
“Run away!”
“Oh, no!”
Unorganized and mixed reactions erupted here and there. It was chaos itself.
This was a natural reaction.
Cheonnajimang (天羅之罔). Although the words sound grandiose, they ultimately mean a tightly deployed siege network over a large area.
It is a basic tactic used by a large number of people to catch a fleeing minority or to completely kill those who resist using evil tactics.
Safa people in Gangnam have tried Cheonnajimang several times. And each time, what they experienced was almost the same.
Watching leisurely the struggles of someone who somehow hides himself and tries to run away or sets up camp and resists until the end. And to laugh at the fool who dared choose to go against all odds. That was enough.
Those who thought at ease that this time would be no different were suddenly forced to be caught up in fundamental questions.
“why!”
Someone shouted hysterically.
“Why is that bastard here! “Why?”
Quang!
At that moment, someone’s entire upper body was torn apart and thrown backwards. Blood spurts out like a fountain and pieces of flesh scatter in all directions. Those who were covered in fear and faced the same questions that the dying person had asked.
Hwasan Sword Association. The one who annihilated the enemy forces of the Maninbang and turned the armed forces of the Maninbang that were targeting Hwasan into Gohon. Not only that, it is said that he went head-to-head with Jang Il-so, the ark of all people, in the Yangtze River and had an even match.
A rising expert of the prestigious Hwasan, who is the archenemy of the Ten-Inbang recognized by the world and the antipode of Jang Il-so.
The definition of some things may change depending on position and perspective. Cheongmyeong’s name is a symbol of goodwill and cooperation in political circles. However, from Sapa’s perspective, it is a fear that sends chills down the spine just by hearing it.
But why does the person who should be confronting Jang Il-so on the Yangtze River suddenly appear here brandishing a sword?
Why do those here have to deal with that Hwasan Sword Association?
“Run away too!”
“Aaaaaah!”
It was not a situation to discuss things like war intentions.
Imagine surrounding a fox hole, thinking it was a fox hole, and suddenly a tiger the size of a house jumps out from inside. No matter how experienced a hunter you are, you will have no choice but to panic.
However, these people are not expert hunters, and they are such vicious beasts that Cheongmyeong cannot even dare to bring a tiger to them. In the meantime, who would dare to stand in his way?
“Aaaaaah!”
Collapse was inevitable.
The idiots who were not proper hunters turned their backs and ran away to avoid the charging beast.
It seemed like a wise decision, but there was something they didn’t know. The reason hunters do not turn their backs on beasts is not because they are brave.
People sometimes abandon those who turn their backs on them, but animals always bite and kill enemies who turn their backs on them. Because that is the way to live in the wild, not to leave alive the enemy who might target me again someday.
Cheongmyeong perfected himself in the hell called battlefield. His way of thinking was not that different from that of a wild animal.
He may recite the Taoist scriptures with his mouth and discuss integrity and mercy with his head, but his sword is sharper than the fangs of any beast in the world and bites those who turn their backs.
Quack!
The blade penetrated diagonally through the shoulder blade and lodged in the heart. Before I could even feel the pain, the twisted black insides were instantly shattered. Then, it soared upward, cutting off its shoulders with fierce force.
“Turn it off….”
Bang!
As if it was a waste of time to waste time, Cheongmyeong hit the fallen person with his shoulder and sent him flying, and then rushed forward again with a menacing glare in his eyes like a wild beast.
Can’t stop it. It was impossible in the first place.
The title of the world’s greatest late leader, which once described the Qing Dynasty, has now become a dead word.
Even if everyone here banded together to fight back, I couldn’t be confident that they would be able to stop the swordsman named Cheongmyeong. There is at least that much of a gap between the skills of the absolute masters competing for world supremacy and the skills of the small and medium-sized sects in the southern part of Gangnam.
However, this siege was not initially deployed to block someone like Cheongmyeong.
In order to never miss the traces of someone trying to escape, the scattered arrangements can never tie Cheongmyeong’s feet.
And Cheongmyeong aimed precisely at that point.
Whether he understood it with his head or his instincts, Cheongmyeong’s current offensive was enough to tear this flimsy net to pieces in one fell swoop.
It seems as if the gap in the net that was split with a sword is being bitten open with one’s fingernails and teeth.
“Heeeeeeeek!”
As Cheongmyeong ran a short distance away, a warrior who saw him sat down on the spot, covering his head. All I could do at this moment was pray that I could die without pain.
But even though I closed my eyes tight for a while, I didn’t feel any pain. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Cheongmyeong, who had already passed him and was running towards the front, spraying black energy.
“I’m alive… I’m alive…”
Infinite relief spread through my heart. But that was then.
Sreuk.
A sound like a swallow grazing over the grass penetrated my ears. When I turned around with an instinctive sense of fear, I saw the figure of a woman who had already reached a short distance away.
No emotions or expressions appeared on his pure white face.
Moreover, the eyes are infinitely calm, incongruous with the battlefield.
‘Who…’
At that moment, I saw the plum blossom pattern engraved on the woman’s uniform chest and the sword in her hand. Blood was dripping from the tip of the sword. At that moment, the man sensed his fate.
Sarah.
There was a faint sound, like silk fluttering in the air.
At the same time, a burning pain began to spread across the man’s neck.
“Uh…”
The indifferent-looking woman didn’t even glance at him and ran forward, passing by him like the wind.
The body slowly collapsed. And soon, a group of people dressed in blue uniforms resembling the color of the sea rushed towards the place.
“Run!”
Baekcheon’s shouts exploded like thunder from among the green crowd.
When Cheongmyeong pierces through without hesitation, the five swords open the wound and Haenam rushes toward the gap.
Although it is a method that is too extreme and crude to be expressed in the word ‘protection’, no one can deny the fact that the method is extremely efficient.
“Stop it!”
Those who had been mesmerized by the fear that Cheongmyeong had pierced through them like an awl, only came to their senses when they saw Haenam’s group.
But before they could move their bodies properly, an awl-like sword energy was shot out at them.
I love you so much!
Quack! Quack! Quack! Quack!
Five people died with their throats pierced by one sword.
“Uraaa!”
A sharp sword that seems to cut through light.
It is a practical sword that is closer to the Four Blades than the Four Blades, which only fires at the opponent’s vital points without wasting any time. Now, it was a quick sword that was like a statement piece for Jo Geol.
Jo Geol, who instantly killed the five, rushed forward with all his strength.
Faaah!
Yoon Jong, who followed behind, instantly filled Jo Geol’s empty side. So that you can deal with it at any time even if a not-quite enemy comes after you.
The entire bodies of the two people had already been stained with blood for a long time.
“Yoonjong. Leave the hangers alone and help the back! From now on, they will come after you!”
“Yes Sasuk!”
“Lee Seol, adjust your position to the back! too fast!”
“yes.”
As soon as the command was given, Yu Yi-seol slightly slowed down her running speed.
“Run straight ahead!”
Under Baekcheon’s prompt instructions, they corrected the disordered formation and increased their speed even more.
Even at this moment, Kwak Hwan-so was desperately trying to catch up with Cheongmyeong with all his might. Baekcheon confirmed this and nodded firmly.
“We will break through like this. Just break it to pieces!”
“yes!”
Haenam’s disciples were not even aware of it.
Maybe it was because they were just running and running without any sense, but before they knew it, they too were answering Baekcheon’s voice with all their might.
Those who gathered around the cutting edge called Cheongmyeong and the center called Baekcheon were penetrating the land of Gangnam like a wedge stuck in the center.
