Episode 1404. It was absolutely wonderful. (4)
“Anyone who blocks will die!”
In addition to their loud cries, even the swords in their hands clearly revealed their will.
Paaaaat!
Lightning-like sword energy rained down on the Maninbangdo. The Maninbando was unable to block the attack and retreated behind the attack, which had tremendous power.
“Aaaah!”
The red plum blossom sword energy pours down on the retreating Maninbangdo.
“You bastards!”
“Kwak Hoi, you bastard! Stay where you are!”
“Don’t get excited! “Knocking them down is not our goal!”
Kwak Hoe, who was about to rush towards the retreating enemy, bit his lip.
The disciples of Huashan were extremely angry, but at the same time, they were calm. I knew for certain what I should raise my sword for now.
Every time it emits red sword energy, the enemies are scattered. The red energy emitted by the volcano at the forefront. It became a clear milestone for other factions as well.
“Follow the volcano!”
The two factions of Namgung Sega and Saewoeogung, who had been fighting off the enemies with all their might, also began running along the volcano.
“You bastards!”
As those who had been viciously attacking them tried to escape, anger filled the eyes of the Maninbando. No matter how many orders were given to retreat, it was a disgrace to let the enemy go without suffering all of their entertainment.
However, their seething anger and anger quickly cooled down in front of the dark air that flew across the sky.
“Take cover!”
Shoot!
Poisonous needles pour down like rain.
“Ugh…!”
“Oh my…”
Saliva is so poisonous that it rots flesh just by brushing against it. The only person who could jump into that rain of poisonous needles would be a madman who doesn’t know how to waste his life.
“Blast it!”
Fuuuuuuu! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A cloud of black poisonous smoke rose one after another from the space created by the rain of poisonous needles that pushed away the enemies.
“Moo, step back!”
“Stop breathing! “Get your fucking back!”
Sapa is naturally familiar with dogs. They also do not hesitate to poison weapons and throw poison bullets to achieve their goals.
However, what was covering their field of vision now was a deadly poison that was incomparable to anything they had used before.
Sacheondanga, the world’s poison control. I can assure you that there is not a single crazy person in the world who would want to see for themselves the power of their poison.
A wall made of poisonous needles and poisonous smoke was created. The wall, which was not a wall that anyone could easily access, completely blocked the way of the Maninbangdo.
“Go to this gap! “We’ll take care of it!”
People with a lot of courage left the party song and ran out. Even at that moment, the party leaders maintained their positions like iron towers. He held the memorization book in his hand tightly and stared at the Maninbando beyond the poisonous smoke.
“After all our troops leave, we will leave too! “Stay there until the end!”
“yes.”
The elder of the Tang family who gave the order had a strange smile on his face.
‘I never thought we would take on this role.’
A bloodless and tearless family that does not care about anything other than the well-being of its own family. That was the world’s evaluation of Sacheondanga. And Sacheondanga also had no intention of coming forward and denying that assessment.
However, they are now claiming to be the rear guard for other factions. Even though no one ordered it.
‘Dangga has changed a lot too.’
A trend that arose when the Hwasan Sword Association came to Sacheon and drove out the Senate. That change was even changing the identity of the party.
“…It doesn’t feel that bad.”
The elder of the Tang family smiled and tightly grasped the secret sword in his hand.
“Old military! “They’re getting out!”
“Currently breaking away!”
Natural reports continued to pour in as if hitting my ears. His nickname is ‘I have eyes too.’ I barely suppressed the desire to do something.
They are moving away. Like a wave that suddenly comes in, plays with the shore, and then leaves.
Hu Jiaming’s gaze was focused on a place beyond the thick poisonous smoke.
A place tightly surrounded by volcanic swordsmen wearing black military uniforms. To the place where the Plum Blossom Demon that he had tried so hard to kill was located.
“There’s no way.”
Hu Jiaming slowly closed his eyes.
I did everything I could. I poured everything I could into it. But at this moment, that plum sword spirit is slipping out of his grasp again.
I used my skills, my ghost-like judgment, and even mobilized my incomprehensible luck.
I had no choice but to fully acknowledge the family name. That he cannot catch the author with his abilities.
“Bring out the wounded. “If you leave me alone, I will get poisoned and die.”
“Old military!”
“We will reorganize our battle lines and begin pursuit again.”
At those words, the lieutenants lowered their heads.
At this moment, Hu Jiaming admitted that all their plans had been in vain. In the end, it means that all the sacrifices made to catch one Plum Sword Demon were made up for by the death of a dog.
How much have you sacrificed? More than hundreds of people have died from Haenam to here. However, all they got was to capture half of the Haenam Sect disciples.
We have already experienced defeat countless times. However, throughout the entire history of Maninbang, there has never been a defeat this painful.
“Didn’t I tell you to reorganize your battle lines?”
When Hu Jiaming ordered cold again, the lieutenants nodded. It was a weak movement. It has to be that way. Anyone who plans and implements a strategy cannot help but realize how much they have lost due to this incident.
The power lost is really nothing compared to what they lost.
The truly terrible truth is that they themselves built a perfect stature for the Plum Blossom Demon that would never collapse.
A feat of crossing Gangnam to rescue Haenam, eluding Maninbang’s pursuit, and returning to Gangbuk.
In the process, many of the things that Maehwageomgwi showed off will now become myths.
And the Plum Blossom Sword Demon will face Sapaeryeon again as the master of the myth. Wherever the Plum Blossom Sword Demon exists, the morale of those in the political faction will skyrocket, and the Maninbangdo who have to deal with him will be overcome with fear.
You can’t help but get to know the people discussing strategy. How scary it is to have an unbreakable status.
With their own hands, they have completed what will become the most perfect natural enemy of all nations.
Hu Jiaming glanced at his lieutenants. I could tell what they were thinking just by their facial expressions.
Foolish bastards, Ho Jiamyeong clicked his tongue and spoke briefly.
“Do you think it’s all over?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Of course, with our current strength, we cannot stop them even if we continue to pursue them. “That is certainly true.”
As the cold evaluation poured in, the faces of the deputies became even darker. However, Hu Jiaming paid no attention and continued speaking.
“But that has nothing to do with it. “Have you forgotten that Master Yeon is coming to where they are heading now?”
At those words, the deputies raised their heads.
“They are definitely amazing. But don’t forget. From now on, the person they have to deal with is none other than the defeated Jang Il-so. We are just pawns in the hands of the leader. And there is no such thing as defeat against Jang Gi-jjak!”
This may not be the right thing to say to boost morale. However, a liveliness that had not been there before bloomed in the eyes of the lieutenants who heard those words.
That was correct.
They may have lost. However, they are Maninbang but not Maninbang, and they are Sapaeryeon but not Sapaeryun. Because Maninbang without Jangilso cannot be Maninbang, and Sapaeryun without Jangilso cannot be Sapaeryun.
“Move. Ryeonju will be looking forward to all of these situations. Those who go against His plan through foolish self-blame will be torn to death with my own hands!”
“Yes soldier!”
The adjutants moved like lightning and began to reorganize the half-collapsed battle line. Hu Jiaming, who was watching the scene in silence, turned his head and saw Tianyu Meng’s army moving away in the distance.
It is a failure that leaves no room for excuses and a complete defeat that does not even cause anger.
In this situation, the thoughts that crossed Hu Jiaming’s mind were a bit strange.
‘Ryeonju is…’
How did you predict it?
Did he think he would catch the Plum Sword Demon? Or did he think he would ultimately fail?
Hu Jiaming shook his head. No need to think. He just needs to be faithful to his role.
“Hurry up. “Hurry up and reorganize your battle lines and track them down!”
He’s just a piece of cake.
There is no need to guess the intention of the person playing shogi. No matter how much he thinks about it, it will be impossible to completely understand Jang Il-so’s will.
Hu Jiaming just looked at Tang Ge, who was pulling out for the last time, with cold eyes.

“Ahhhh! “It hurts!”
“Don’t be so scared, you bastard!”
Ungeom struck Jogeol, who was screaming, on his back with the scabbard. Jogeol screamed.
“Are you saying the Lord is going to die?”
“Okay.”
Ungeom shook his head. Before I rescued him, I kept crying and it was difficult to hold back, but when I did, a thousand dollars filled me.
“But how on earth did you know?”
“huh?”
“You were in Gangbuk.”
In response to Jo Geol’s question, the other five swords nodded as if they were curious. Thanks to him, he survived, but he never dreamed that Cheon Woo-maeng would come to help him.
Crossing the Yangtze River is a matter of decision, but isn’t finding them beyond the Yangtze River a different story?
“I was lucky.”
“yes?”
Ungeom shook his head.
“The Lord made the decision to cross the river… but honestly, I was at a loss as to what to do. But that guy suddenly started running like crazy.”
“That guy?”
“That guy.”
Ungeom gestured backwards. What he pointed to was the clear light that Tanggunak embraces. To be exact, it was Baek Ah who was attached to Cheongmyeong’s neck.
“Ah, Baek! Baekah! “Did he lead the way to us?”
“no.”
“⋯⋯Yes? sure?”
“I met Haenam at the place he guided me to.”
“⋯⋯.”
“They said Youngmul, Youngmul, and it was amazing. I can’t believe I even remember the smells of those I met briefly. What we met was Haenam, who had arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River and was looking for a time to cross. “When they saw us, they guided us here without delay.”
“Oh no, how?”
The person who answered Jo Geol’s words was none other than Kwak Hwan-so, who was running next to him.
“What is there to be strange about? “It is a mark that has been used countless times.”
“⋯⋯huh?”
“Didn’t you send Jayang along with you? That guy kept leaving a mark. “We saw the mark and tracked it.”
“Oh no, that guy failed halfway through?”
Because he was running with all his might, he couldn’t even take care of Lee Ja-yang, who was weak in inaction.
“That was enough. “If you come just a short distance away, Baekah will be able to find you.”
“Ah…”
Jo Geol laughed as if it was absurd.
We hadn’t even said anything to each other, but it was a coincidence. But if you think about it backwards, necessity overlapped with inevitability.
If Cheon Woo-maeng had not risked his life to cross the river, if Haenam had not attached Lee Ja-yang to them, and if Haenam, who had already crossed hell, had not had the courage to jump into hell once again, they would no longer be alive.
“Such…”
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, no. Just…”
Jo Geol quietly looked up at the sky.
“⋯⋯just like that.”
Nothing they did was wrong. I just… had that thought.
