Episode 1509 There are people who can do something with words. (4)
Kwaaaang!
Jo Geol instinctively kicked the floor and increased his speed.
But it’s far. late.
It was impossible to close this distance in an instant even with his quick sword, which was so great that it was called the One Sword Distance.
As time slowed down, I could clearly see the powerful Danbong falling onto the back of Baekcheon’s head.
‘Oh no…’
The moment when Jo Geol was about to close her eyes without realizing it.
Kaang!
The sword flew like a flash from somewhere and immediately pushed away the dagger that was almost touching Baekcheon’s head.
“Wow! Accident!”
Jo Geol shouted in a voice mixed with trembling and relief. Yu Iseol suddenly appeared next to Baekcheon and was cutting off the chest of the person attacking Baekcheon with an indifferent expression.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Baekcheon’s staggering shoulder, lifting him up.
Baekcheon, who had lost consciousness for a moment, raised his head and looked at Yu Yi-seol and frowned slightly.
“…thanks.”
“Once again.”
Baekcheon grabbed his chest with his left hand and straightened up again.
“It looks like I let my guard down for a moment. “You don’t have to worry.”
“yes.”
Yu Iseol nodded without saying anything. But Jo Geol, watching from afar, was still confused.
‘Sasuk is the only one to be attacked like that?’
Of course, people’s physical condition varies from day to day, and even if you are an expert, there will be days when you cannot perform to your best ability.
However, even taking this into account, the Baekcheon he knew was not someone who would give up his heart so easily.
Moreover, what is even more strange is that it is Yu Yi-seol, not Baek-cheon.
Thanks to Yoon Jong, Jo Geol was able to take a moment to catch her breath and was able to notice Baek Cheon’s situation. But Yu Yi-seol was not like that. But how could he know that Baek-cheon was in danger and fly to help him faster than Jo-geol?
Unless he knew in advance that Baekcheon would be in danger…
“What are you doing in a daze, man!”
“Oh, I got it!”
Jo Geol quickly answered and bit her lip. Now is not the time to be idle and lost in thought. After all, isn’t this a battlefield?
Jo Geol looked towards Baekcheon with concerned eyes and soon ran in front of Yoonjong. For now, I have no choice but to trust Yu Yi-seol, who is by Baek-cheon’s side.
“Aaaaaaaap!”
A sword energy stronger than ever erupted from Jo Geol’s sword like a thunderbolt. It was as if he was trying to attract all the elders around him to me.
Baekcheon looked at the exploding sword energy from the corner of his eye and bit his lower lip. At that time, I heard Yu Iseol’s short words.
“backwards.”
“no.”
Baekcheon shook his head and refused.
“I just let my guard down for a moment.”
“ass.”
“Once again.”
Baekcheon grabbed his sword and took a confident step forward.
Yu Iseol also kept her mouth shut, as if she would not stop him any further. Instead, it just took a seat half a step next to him.
Baekcheon smiled bitterly.
‘It’s a nuisance.’
I know how Yu Iseol fights. In the first place, she holds her ground and does not fight. Yu Iseol’s method is to fly in quickly before the opponent even notices, confusing them, and cutting them sharply with minimal movement.
Now, she is blocking the enemy with her feet on the ground, which is unusual for her. I felt it clearly even without saying anything. The will to help Baekcheon.
Ugh.
Baekcheon forcefully pushed the internal power within his body into the sword.
“therefore! “I just let my guard down!”
Hwaaaaa!
Red petals spewed out from the tip of the sword.
Today, the more colorful and red plum blossoms bloomed as if they were about to fall off at any moment.
“Oooooh!”
And accordingly, a golden match burst out like sunlight behind Baekcheon’s back.
“It’s dangerous!”
“damage!”
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The golden power shattered the walls of the main hall. If the shock is this much, it will be impossible to hide the fact that a battle is taking place here.
“This guy!”
The elders who noticed this fact glared at Baekcheon with murderous intent. Baekcheon laughed briefly.
“They say beggars are the most honorable people because they have nothing, but looking at the elders, that doesn’t seem to be entirely true.”
“what?”
Strangely enough, I kept laughing.
The situation is still the worst.
Everyone is just holding on, waiting for Cheongmyeong to quickly deal with Ilhosingae.
But strangely enough, Baekcheon felt calm and light. Unlike those who don’t know what to do even though they have an overwhelming advantage.
‘I don’t know.’
I wonder if this feeling is because of his confidence in the path he is walking, or else….
When he slightly shifted his gaze, he saw Cheongmyeong running wild like a ghost.
“…Let’s assume it’s the former.”
Baekcheon muttered quietly and smiled and once again infused power into his sword.
“Push harder!”
“yes!”
Baekcheon bit his lip, strengthened his resolve, and stretched out his sword.
Kaang!
Like a black snake that deflected a flying baton in one go, it stretched out through the air and cut the arm holding the baton. The red snake bit off my wrist and elbow in an instant, and not knowing how satisfied it was, it moved on and bit my shoulder.
“Tsk!”
The face of Elder Gaek, who had his arm cut off in an instant, was contorted in pain. But there was no time to even feel the pain. This time, a red snake with its fangs exposed was flying towards my face.
“omg!”
The elder, who made a sound like he was losing air, hurriedly lowered his body and rolled on the floor.
I got on board. Although it was a new law that warriors felt most ashamed of, they were not ashamed.
bang!
But unfortunately, Cheongmyeong was also the same one who did not consider the situation. Cheongmyeong followed the person rolling on the floor like a beam of light and immediately kicked the elder in the chest.
The elder was thrown against the wall of the main hall, blood spurting from his mouth. A cloud of dust rose from the breached wall.
Cheongmyeong, who had neatly disposed of one elder, disappeared on the spot.
Quang! bang!
As soon as he did that, three daggers fell where he was standing. It was an attack so strong that the floor of Daejeon was crushed. If I hadn’t avoided it in time, my body would have been crushed.
“this!”
Those who only attacked the female floor stood up in panic. What I saw in front of me at that moment was not Cheongmyeong, who had been bitten. There were dozens of rays of sword energy flying towards them, aiming precisely at them.
I instinctively twisted my body to avoid it. The long, red sword stretched out and narrowly passed in front of the twisted face.
It was dangerous. The fact that my throat would have been pierced if I had been just a little bit late made me feel a chill on the back of my neck. At that moment when a sense of crisis and relief intertwined, the elder opened his eyes.
‘What…!’
The black energy that passed by my face seemed to suddenly increase, and the black energy exploded in all directions, creating countless flower petals. It’s as if a bomb exploded right in front of you, sending fragments flying in all directions.
If they had the skills to respond to that frightening situation, they wouldn’t still be in the open elder position.
“Aaaahhh!”
The falling flower petals ovulated the bodies of the elders. The elders, whose entire bodies were covered in wounds in no time, played briefly before collapsing on the spot.
Kagak.
The tip of the lowered Cheongmyeong sword scratched the floor. Cheongmyeong took a deep breath and looked back at Ilhosingae with sharp blue eyes.
‘It’s more endless than I thought.’
There are a lot of beggars in the world, and that means there are a lot of openness. However, even the elders did not expect that there would be so many leftovers.
The inaction of each elder was only one level higher than that of a famous disciple, but the problem was that there were enough elders to fill this large hall with just half of them.
However, the burden of Cheongmyeong was nothing compared to the shock felt by Ilhosingae. Ilhosingae alternately looked at the elders of open space and Cheongmyeong, who were lying here and there unconscious as if they were completely lost.
Cheongmyeong is still fine, but aren’t the elders of the opening of the city more exaggerated and almost piled up on the floor of Daejeon?
“What the hell…”
My hands were shaking without me even realizing it.
There was an indescribable difference between ‘knowing’ and ‘feeling’ Cheongmyeong’s inaction.
Clearness is strong. But Ilhosingae is also strong.
So, I thought that no matter how strong the Hwasan Sword Association was, they would be able to deal with their opponent. He thought that perhaps it would not be impossible for Ilhosingae to win.
However, the presence of Cheongmyeong that he saw before his eyes today made everything he thought he ‘knew’ an illusion.
It is as Cheongmyeong said.
He is nothing more than an arrogant person who thinks he is the king among dogs. To the tigers who risked their lives fighting for territory in that wide field, they were nothing more than a pastime.
“Are you going to keep hiding like that?”
Ilhoshingae flinched at Cheongmyeong’s cold question.
There was no sense of superiority in Cheongmyeong’s eyes. It’s not because I’m wary of Ilhosingae. In the first place, the author does not even see him as an enemy.
Realizing this fact, Ilhoshingae bit his lip.
He can’t fight. There is no such thing as courage to fight against the author. No, in the first place, that is not courage, it is recklessness.
‘okay. ‘I am a dog.’
A dog that doesn’t have the courage to fight alone. But that doesn’t mean he’s defeated.
“You seem nervous?”
Dogs have their own fighting style. Even great tigers die from being bitten by a pack of hunting dogs.
Ilhosingae quietly observed the situation.
The volcano guys are doing their best, but that’s all. They can never win.
“I guess your goal is to kill me before they fall.”
“….”
“I have no intention of getting caught up in that plan out of petty pride or something. “I will not mix hands with you before I kill all the other elders.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled at those words.
“Are you saying that even if all the elders die, only you can become the ark? “You are a more disgusting person than I thought.”
“No, that won’t happen.”
“…what?”
“I definitely didn’t expect a volcano to appear here. But… I kept in mind that Ark could lead his followers to resist.”
Cheongmyeong narrowed his eyes for a moment.
“Did you think this would be all I could use? “Hwasan Sword Association?”
A smile of repentance spread across Ilhosingae’s lips.
“You ignored me so much. “That’s your loss.”
* * *
Kwaaaaang!
The entire wall of the opening exploded and a huge explosion shook the opening.
“…Are you going to just watch like this?”
Someone asked a question. The elders who had left the podium and had been watching in bewilderment all turned to one person.
Chumyeongae. The man who faced that Ilhoshingae, even if only for a moment.
“…Then what are we going to do?”
“I have to do something…”
“Should I help a foreigner kill the elder in the room? Or should we help the elders kill outsiders and cause openness to commit sins?”
“That’s…”
The masked dog shook its head.
“I can’t choose. “I…”
“But Elder. If things continue like this, the result is as obvious as seeing fire. Even though they are the Five Swords of Fire, they cannot win against so many elders. Then we will lose the only one who can deal with the defeated army called Cheongmyeong of the Hwasan Sword Association.”
“….”
“Isn’t that a bigger sin?”
Chumyeongae closed his eyes tightly.
Know. Hwasan Sword Association Cheongmyeong should never die here. If you kill him, it will be like committing an irreparable crime against Gangho.
But doesn’t that mean you can’t fight against elders in the same room?
As I got stuck in a dead end, I started thinking of another person.
‘If it’s Jaogae….’
No, it’s a meaningless thought. Zaogae is not here. No matter how much you think about it, you won’t come up with an answer.
“Let’s watch.”
“yes?”
“If heaven is watching, it will give you the answer through the results. How many times haven’t Cheongmyeong and the Five Swords of the Hwasan Swordsmen achieved what everyone thought was impossible?”
“That’s true, but…”
“If it were a really dangerous situation, I could at least take my body out. No, I hope so.”
It was at that moment when the Chumyeongae was about to sigh helplessly.
“Now, Elder! Elder!”
When an urgent voice was heard, Chu Myeon-gae frowned and looked away. A pensive beggar was stamping his feet, looking back and forth between him and the entrance to the headquarters.
“To the commander-in-chief right now! “You must report to the General Assembly!”
“…You can’t enter the headquarters right now. “What’s going on?”
“At the castle gate now…!”
“castle gate? What happened to the castle gate? “Speak calmly!”
As Chumyeongae shouted, the beggar swallowed dry saliva once, caught his breath, and shouted.
“Shaolin! Shaolin has arrived!”
At that moment, a light of astonishment appeared in Chumyeongae’s eyes.
