Episode 1344. I’m going to save you. (4)
Hu Jiaming glared fiercely at the deputy standing in front of him with a gaunt and haggard face.
“What is the entrance?”
“Not yet…”
The deputy’s voice trembled as he answered.
It was my first time seeing a household name so disheveled. So I had no choice but to know. This is how much anger Hu Jiaming is enduring right now.
It seemed as if the sword attached to Hu Jiaming’s waist would fly out at any moment and cut off his head.
However, what flew in was not a sword, but a low, short sword. Sharper than a sword and more terrifying than a dagger.
“Find it.”
“yes!”
“No matter what it takes.”
The adjutant bowed his head deeply.
However, Hu Jiaming had already taken his gaze away from him and was staring at the peaks of Hundred Thousand Mountains, which rose sharply like swords.
Wow.
His tightly bitten lip was torn and red blood flowed.
‘Volcanic Swordsmen Association…’
It was played from beginning to end in the hands of the Hwasan Sword Association. But what really pained him was that no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t even find the reason why he lost.
I don’t understand how this happened.
Is it possible for people visiting Guangdong for the first time to learn of and utilize the existence of Beecher, whom even they could not discover?
Who could even imagine such a possibility?
‘It’s impossible…’
It felt like someone had stuck their hand inside my head and was tampering with it.
But denying that possibility makes no sense. Because the impossible has already happened. No matter how hard you try and ignore it, reality is just reality.
I poured everything I could into it. suffered enormous damage. He even committed the impossible act of disobeying Jang Il-so’s orders.
Just like that, his plan, which he had risked everything on, went to waste in an instant.
What if they escape Hundred Thousand Mountains like this?
‘That’s not enough.’
The moment you cross this hellish mountain range, the vast land of Gangnam unfolds. No matter how many SPA ryeons can mobilize, it is impossible to completely block the Gangnam area.
Isn’t it possible to catch those who couldn’t be caught in Guangdong, which he knows well, in a larger area?
“Push all available troops inside.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
The adjutant behind him looked at Hu Jiaming’s back in shock.
“No matter where you hide, you can’t hide forever. Eventually, it will have to show itself. “Catch and kill me then.”
“⋯⋯Military. “You mean in there?”
When the adjutant asked, Hu Jiaming slowly turned around. The adjutant flinched at that look in his eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
“yes!”
The adjutant bowed his head deeply.
Only after Hu Jia-ming’s gaze fell, the adjutant barely raised his head and looked at the mountains spread out in front of him with trembling eyes.
Hellish mountains where you can’t even guess what’s right behind you.
‘From here?’
Are you saying we have to deal with that Hwasan Sword Association? Him?
Just imagining it made me nauseous and dizzy. But there is no other way. Because differences of opinion will not work with the current household name.
So, those who followed the command had no choice but to pray. Hwasan Sword Association I hope that the sword of the devil does not reach me.

Uduk. Uduk.
Cheongmyeong bent his neck from side to side and lightly clenched and unclenched his hands.
‘It’s different.’
The person he is now is absolutely nowhere near what he was in the past. After going through this battle, I learned that fact for sure. However, there are definitely strengths that are different from the past.
First of all, resilience.
The purest energy in the world that he gathered gave him a resilience that was incomparable to the past.
That’s probably why I was able to get up and move faster even though I suffered more serious injuries than in the past.
The inside of my body was also improving rapidly.
My stiff body loosened and sweat started to flow from my whole body, as if my blood began to circulate. The toxins accumulated during the battle are being released in the form of sweat.
After sweating like this, it was clear that my physical condition would recover enough to paint.
‘But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t in vain.’
Although he has not yet reached the height of the peak he climbed in the past, it must be seen that it has been proven that the peak he has decided to climb is much higher than the peak he climbed in the past.
Patter.
Cheongmyeong tore off the bandage wrapped around his chest.
Baekcheon, who was about to scream, “What are you doing,” closed his mouth. Cheongmyeong’s wound in his chest had already healed.
“⋯⋯Are you sure it’s a human cub?”
“I have doubts sometimes, too.”
Cheongmyeong said with a small smile. However, even after seeing the reaction, Baekcheon could not express his expression in any way.
“A guy who can get better like that…”
“what?”
“Then, if you had just restrained yourself a little, you wouldn’t have had to do that damn thing because of your leg, right?”
“uh? “Is that so?”
“He’s really crazy…”
Baekcheon changed his teeth.
He knows it too.
There was no time for Cheongmyeong to rest. If he had not gone to the front and fought tirelessly, his sacrifice would have been incomparably greater than what it is now.
But even though I knew it, I couldn’t do anything about the boiling inside.
Baekcheon sighed until the ground disappeared. At that time, Cheongmyeong calmly asked again.
“What about the death penalty for Joe Geol?”
“Jongyi Yoon is taking care of him somewhere else.”
“Even if you weren’t really hurt, things these days are less expensive.”
“⋯⋯Don’t you ever think that yours is abnormal? “If it were like the others, I would have died ten times.”
“Tsk tsk. Weak things.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled even though he was only babbling with his mouth. Baekcheon’s face distorted.
“Are you laughing?”
“What difference does it make if you pretend to be serious?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Sasuk-do, lighten up your face.”
“You…”
“Others see it.”
Baekcheon’s face was colored with a complex light at Cheongmyeong’s words, which were thrown lightly.
“Everyone is just looking at Sasuk’s face. Because what kind of situation we are in right now is revealed on their faces. “If Sa-sook frowns even more ugly than she already is, everyone becomes more anxious.”
“Have you ever seen something called longing in your life?”
“He’s a handsome man like this.”
“⋯⋯Let’s not talk.”
Baekcheon sighed deeply. My heart was heavy.
It’s not that I don’t know that. He also knows that he must not show signs of wavering under any circumstances.
But… it wasn’t as easy as it sounds.
He almost killed Cheongmyeong. Yu Yi-seol almost drove Jo Geol to death. Because his judgment was not accurate. If he were a little more…
chin.
At that time, Cheongmyeong lightly tapped Baekcheon on the shoulder.
“⋯⋯What is it?”
“I wouldn’t have been able to do that.”
“⋯⋯.”
“Sasook’s judgment was accurate. “So much so that I can’t even imitate it.”
“⋯⋯Don’t talk about public affairs unnecessarily.”
“Still, you have some sense.”
“What man?”
Even while his mouth was talking nonsense, Cheongmyeong’s eyes were examining Yu Yi-seol’s condition. Although the wounds were deep here and there, it didn’t seem like there would be any aftereffects. Because Taoist magic shows great power in these areas.
However, the lack of aftereffects does not eliminate the pain she experienced.
This time, Cheongmyeong’s gaze fell on Tang Xiaoxiao, who was sleeping from exhaustion. Just by looking at the small wounds on her fingertips, you could guess how much of a struggle she must have had.
Those who fight with swords end their role the moment the battle ends, but the lawmaker’s fight begins then. He probably saved countless lives and had to let countless lives go.
Cheongmyeong’s eyes became cold.
Jerk.
He walked slowly.
I could see Haenam disciples spread out here and there in the wide cave. He sleeps like a corpse, looking like a defeated soldier, as if the dignity of a prestigious family had been taken away.
“Do you understand?”
Baekcheon followed him before he knew it and spoke in a firm voice.
“Everyone fought to the limit. It’s not like I can recover from just two days of rest. “If you go out now, you’ll only end up wasting people.”
“hmm.”
Cheongmyeong nodded.
“There is some truth to that. But that’s not necessarily true. “By now, that blind-reading bastard is probably struggling to find the entrance.”
“⋯⋯.”
“And with his ability, he will soon find the entrance. “I just couldn’t find it until now because I was half-tasting it.”
Baekcheon gently bit his lip.
Cheongmyeong’s words are also correct. This place can’t be safe forever either.
At that time, people who discovered that Cheongmyeong had woken up came rushing in.
“stamp!”
“Are you okay?”
“You’re seriously injured, so don’t rest any more!”
Cheongmyeong chuckled as he saw Namgung Dowi, Dangpae, and Hyeyeon running towards him. Everyone has worry written on their faces.
‘I’m done too.’
I worry about these little guys.
“What about the Green Forest King?”
“Here it is.”
Lim So-byeong trudged in from behind.
“People with bad personalities are said to be reluctant to arrest King Yeom, but after looking at the seal, it seems like that isn’t necessarily nonsense.”
Cheongmyeong laughed at the crooked words.
“You got hit by Ho Ga-myeong and you’re taking out your anger on me for no reason.”
“Who are you saying got hit?”
“Then will you say that I was kicked?”
“Ugh…”
Lim So-byeong clenched his fists. Even if he pretended not to, his pride seemed to be very hurt. Lim So-byeong, who was shaking for a moment, took a deep breath and asked.
“What do you plan to do now?”
“what?”
“The situation is the situation, right? You see, we can’t just sit here and die, so we have to get out. But it’s because everyone is in this condition…”
Everyone’s faces darkened at those words.
Although I was barely able to catch my breath, no one knew that the situation was not easy.
“What are you going to do?”
“⋯⋯Yes.”
“You should ask that, not me.”
“yes?”
Lim So-byeong looked at Cheongmyeong as if wondering what that meant.
“Because the position has changed.”
“⋯⋯What do you mean?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes looked at those standing in front of him.
Although not as bad as Yu Yi-seol, their injuries were serious. Traces of the fierce battle that had been fought so far remained on everyone’s bodies.
“What about the death penalty for Joe Geol?”
“Over here…”
Namgung Dowi guided. Cheongmyeong followed him and glanced at Jo Geol, who was still unconscious. He remained silent for a long time, as if his eyes were taking in every single wound on his body.
After a while, Cheongmyeong looked back at Lim So-byeong.
Lim So-byeong’s shoulders suddenly flinched.
It was because Cheongmyeong’s eyes were so cold. So much so that I doubt if it’s the person I’ve known all along…
No, it doesn’t seem to be just because of the coolness. I felt somehow uncomfortable. It was a strange feeling of discomfort, as if I was seeing a different person even though I was clearly looking at the same person.
“knife.”
“⋯⋯.”
Baekcheon handed over the sword of Cheongmyeong that he was holding.
This is the sword that he kept to prevent Cheongmyeong from going on a rampage. It was a decision I would never give up until Cheongmyeong’s body got better.
But for some reason, strangely enough, I couldn’t disobey Cheongmyeong’s words.
“The Green Forest King.”
“Yes, seal.”
“Get ready while it buys us a little time. “Let’s get out of here at once.”
Lim So-byeong nodded.
He is also a tactician. There is no way you wouldn’t know that if you can get over this 100,000 mountains, you can move all the way to the Yangtze River.
Hu Jia-myeong gathered all those who had to be greatly imprisoned and set up a camp in Guangdong. Now you will have to pay the price.
The problem is that with the current state of Cheonwoo-maeng and Haenam, the battle is not easy even if the terrain of Hundred Thousand Mountains is fully utilized.
What’s more, instead of giving me time to recover, I gave them time to surround me again.
Cheongmyeong would also know this fact.
And now, Cheongmyeong’s words must mean that he can solve this situation.
“What are you going to do…?”
Lim So-byeong asked cautiously. Then Cheongmyeong smiled maniacally.
“I have to pay my debt.”
Between those twisted lips, pure white teeth were eerily revealed.
“You will understand what it means to step foot here.”
Now is the time to let them know what he desperately needed to realize in the past.
