Episode 178:
Zhuge Un, who was dealing with Woo Gok-jin, smiled bitterly. He made Zhuge Yan run away, which could be said to be his purpose. Now I can fight with a little more peace of mind.
With that thought in mind, I took a deep breath and aimed my sword.
“I heard that the martial arts of the Zhuge Dynasty are the lowest among the Eight Dynasties, but that doesn’t seem to be correct.”
“I was lucky, and I’ve improved my skills recently.”
Woo Gok-jin could not help but feel dejected as he looked at his fallen subordinates. I thought I moved while keeping my guard up, but the problem is that I let my guard down, perhaps because I had a low opinion of Zhuge Dynasty’s martial arts.
The few subordinates fell down in an instant.
There are at most two left.
However, Zhuge Un was also not safe.
Ugokjin’s swordsmanship is strong enough to be compared to that of Majanggang. In such a situation, since there were two subordinates who seemed to be quite expert, Zhuge Un’s fate was not far away.
“But I don’t think that luck will last long…what do you think?”
“I don’t know if my luck will run out here…or if it will continue yet, right?”
Zhuge Yun smiled and held his sword tightly.
There is a serious lack of air power.
He blocked Wu Gok-jin, forced Zhuge Yan to flee, and used considerable effort to cut down his remaining subordinates. If things continued like this, it seemed like I wouldn’t be able to withstand even half an angle.
‘I wonder what I can do if it’s one-on-one…’
I had such a ridiculous thought.
I really won’t lose, but unless my opponent is a fool, he won’t accept it. Also, even if we fight each other, we will never be able to win with the power we have now.
“You had a hard time running away. “Stop offering your neck now.”
Woo Gok-jin slowly narrowed the distance and approached.
His words weighed heavily on my heart.
In the center, on the left and right of Ugokjin, two subordinates took their positions and pointed their swords. A sharp, deadly wound came as if stabbing my entire body.
visor-!
In an instant, he struck down the sword flying from the right.
Due to the strong force, Zhuge Yun staggered
and retreated. It was so powerful that the arm holding the sword trembled. I managed to hold on to the sword in a situation where I could have lost it.
But the storming force grew stronger.
Kakakakang—!
“Tsk!”
The connection between the three people was very fast. As if he had been training in joint attack, he was good at hitting and running, and he was able to accurately penetrate the opponent’s gap.
If you block an attack, another attack will come from somewhere else, and if you dodge, it will come in through that loophole.
Sigh-!
My shoulder was cut.
The wound was not deep, but blood splattered.
Even though the pain had not yet subsided, blades flew from all directions and targeted his entire body. Zhuge Yun noticed something and quickly stepped back.
Chack chack chack-!
“Aaaah!”
However, it is impossible to avoid all blades.
The three swords mercilessly cut down Zhuge Un.
Fortunately, the cut was not deep due to a momentary retreat.
However, if things continued like this, I might die from bleeding.
“Hahaha….”
Zhuge Un let his body go limp and took a deep breath.
If I had hesitated just a little, my whole body would have been torn apart and I would have fallen to the ground.
“After all, he is a person who served as the commander of the Murim League, so he has this level of sense. “I tried to tear it to pieces.”
“Haha, I was surprised too. “I really thought I was going to die…”
Zhuge Un laughed awkwardly as he looked at each of the cuts. He survived by not dying by a single piece of paper. I wondered if this was what it means to save one’s life, and I was surprised that he was still holding on like this.
“Looking at it like this, I guess I also have some martial arts talent. “I thought it wasn’t there until now.”
“Isn’t it an obsession with life?”
“Hahaha, is that so?” With a cooing sound, Zhuge Yun grabbed his sword.
‘Now what do we talk about now?’
My body was already in shambles.
His attack power is at an all-time low, and in fact, it’s quite difficult to stand still while holding the sword.
Unlike him, the other person was still strong, so it seemed inevitable that his head would fall off on this spot.
When I thought about that, the first thing that came to mind was my daughter’s face.
Come to think of it, that kid.
Haven’t you been following Namgung-cheon around since childhood, so you haven’t been able to pay him proper attention?
I think that’s why I grew up with a somewhat crooked personality.
When it was time to die, all sorts of strange thoughts came to mind.
I smiled bitterly, regretting it later, thinking that if I had known it would be like this, I would have done a little better.
It was Jegal-un who promised that if he survived here, he would live with only his eyes on Gal-yeon.
“You don’t even have the strength to hold a knife, do you?” At that time, Woo Gok-jin immediately understood Zhuge Un’s condition.
Legs trembling.
Shoulders drooping from exhaustion.
At most, I could guess that holding a sword was the best he could do.
Even his eyes were dying, so I felt like he would die soon even if I left him like this.
But that is unacceptable.
Because of Zhuge Un, he had to spend his days being chased by bounty hunters. I couldn’t even properly embrace the girl I liked.
Trembling from the Murim Alliance, he had to hide his true self and spent nearly ten years like that.
It makes no sense to easily kill him when Zhuge Un, who created such a situation, is right in front of his eyes.
They will cut off your limbs and tongue, throw you in a pig pen, and have your intestines eaten alive.
Woo Gok-jin couldn’t stop smiling, as if he was happy just thinking about it.
I calmed down my surging vitality and took a deep breath.
“Cut off the limbs first.”
While saying those words, Woo Gok-jin looked at the face of the subordinate next to him. Suha nodded and slowly approached Galun.
The moment he raises his knife and swings it to cut off his arm.
Suddenly!
His gaze, which was looking at Zhuge Un, slowly rose towards the sky.
I saw the sky that I couldn’t reach even if I stretched out my hand, and then I turned around and saw Woo Gok-jin standing behind me.
W……yW
Suha expressed doubt.
At the same time, he felt a brief pain and his consciousness was cut off as he looked at his body with blood gushing from his neck.
“You guys-!”
Loud boom!
The shouting that rang out was truly amazing.
At that one word, everyone in the room froze and could not move.
The moment I heard the cries full of death, I felt a terrible sensation as if my body was being hacked to pieces.
Woo Gok-jin and one of his remaining subordinates staggered back.
I had no idea what was happening.
Suddenly, an old man appeared between Zhuge Un and them.
A being standing tall with white hair flowing.
A person who puts pressure on all sides just by standing and gives a feeling of weight as if he is being crushed by a mountain just by looking at him.
“Ah…
a small exclamation burst from Zhuge Un’s mouth.
At the same time, Woo Gok-jin and Suha’s faces became contemplative.
Is there a person in the world who is a martial artist but does not know that face?
A person who rose to the highest position in the martial arts world.
The strongest martial artist in martial arts in name and reality. Geomhwang.
Just looking at him, with his white hair and long sleeves fluttering, holding a sword in his only hand, I felt such power that it made me bow my head.
“That… that can’t be…”
Woo Gok-jin denied this reality.
It was something that could never have happened.
Didn’t you say that he was definitely dead?
From the time the new Murim lord, Mo Yonghyeokmun, was appointed, the death of the Geomwang was no different from a fait accompli. That’s because he has never been seen again since then.
He did not appear even when the Namgung family fell, and even when the Sapa invasion took place, he did not appear anywhere.
So many people were certain of his death.
But why are you in a place like this?
Woo Gok-jin could not understand this reality.
And that was also the case for Zhuge Un.
“Mae… Maengjuni…?” Flap, flutter!
His long gun whipped around violently in the wind. The expression of Geom Hwang, who was looking at his opponent with a stern expression, was reminiscent of the one he had seen in his childhood.
Although it has no arms, it has become even stronger.
I couldn’t shake that feeling, so I swallowed my saliva.
“Uh… why… the lord is in a place like this…”
Zhuge Un said, looking up at the Sword Emperor with trembling eyes. However, no answer was heard, and the cold gaze of the Geomwang did not leave the side of Woo Gok-jin and his subordinates.
scary.
afraid.
Everyone here will have this same thought in common.
There was no one else but Geomhwang in front of me.
Even with the momentum soaring through the sky, who can stand still?
Woo Gok-jin hesitated and took a step back.
I had to run away.
I had to run away immediately.
Taking up a sword against the Emperor was an act of suicide.
“Ugokjin… It was definitely a name like that, right?”
His name came out of the mouth of Geomwang, who narrowed his eyes.
At that moment, Woo Gok-jin realized that he could not escape.
There’s no way that could have happened in the first place, right?
The opponent was the Geomhwang.
Unless the person in front of him was a fake, it would have been impossible for Woo Gok-jin to escape with his skills.
That was the weight of the name Geomhwang.
Woo Gok-jin’s mouth trembled.
“I can’t believe I met Geomwang in a place like this… I wonder what’s going on.”
“…Your luck may have run out.” Woo Gok-jin broke into a cold sweat at Namgung-cheon’s words
.
What I said to Zhuge Un a moment ago came back to me.
How did it come to this?
I was so annoyed by the ridiculous situation.
“Are you not planning on leaving me like this?”
“Do you think I will let you go?”
Namgungcheon gritted his teeth.
Just by looking at Zhuge Yun, I could tell what his condition was.
I reprimanded myself for not coming a little sooner and tightened my grip on the sword.
“I’m sure they won’t let you go. Then, with one arm….”
“Leave your neck and go.”
“If you put your head down, you can’t go
?”
Namgungcheon burst out laughing.
Are you trying to make a joke now?
The more I thought about it, the more disgusting he was. He grabbed his sword and swung it wide. In an instant, a strong wind blew and swept around the area.
Eventually, the moment the wind stopped, Ugokjin and his subordinates could no longer move.
Blood flowed from the mouth
.
I don’t know what happened, but one thing was certain.
I got cut.
“Rain… Damn… Cough…!” Their bodies split in half and slowly separated.
Return to War
