Episode 490
Bicheonwoong, who was moving to find the leader, suddenly felt the fog clearing. Visions that had not been visible until now began to appear clearly.
I was impressed by that strange situation.
Maybe someone else achieved their goal?
Is it wrong to move first?
His face was full of tension.
As I was about to turn my back to go back, I felt a familiar presence somewhere.
Without realizing it, I moved towards that place.
I slowly launched my body and prepared to swing my sword anytime, anywhere.
I tensed my whole body in preparation for an unexpected attack.
Finally, the moment I arrived at the spot.
Bicheonwoong saw a strange sight.
A man who looked terrible to even look at was lying dead, clutching his neck. Also, Namgung So-hye was sitting next to him, breathing heavily, and it looked like she had been killed.
“Did you do this?”
“…Ah, are you here now?” Namgung Sohye raised her head at the sudden sound. As soon as he realized that it was Bicheon Woong, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.
It doesn’t show up when you need help, but shows up when you don’t need it. She sighed again, probably because she didn’t like the whole situation.
“I guess he was the captain.”
“Did you kill him?”
” yes.”
Bicheonwoong broke out in a cold sweat. If he were to be the leader of those who attacked Honam Danga, he would not be a light person. His appearance may seem strange, but if only in terms of his level, he might be comparable to people like Bicheonwoong and Namgungcheon.
That’s why it wasn’t even noticed.
But Namgung Sohye killed that person?
The unbelievable words made me feel even more awkward.
“really?”
“Ha… That’s right.” Namgung Sohye stood up with difficulty. He threw away the broken dagger in his hand, found his own sword that had fallen on the floor, and collected it.
There wasn’t even a single drop of black blood on it, but looking at it, it didn’t look like a sword had been used. So does that mean he was killed with a broken dagger?
Bi Cheon-woong could not believe it more and more.
“how?”
“By chance.”
“Nonsense…”
“You know, right? Sometimes unbelievable things happen in this forest. “I’m surprised too.”
In fact, Namgoong Sohye herself was also surprised.
I thought it was a last resort and had no expectations that it would work. This was because there was a huge gap with the opponent, but they were able to overcome all the worst situations and win with an incredibly small probability.
Just thinking about it made me dizzy.
That’s why my hands
were still shaking.
“Confucius said… no matter how high your level is, being careless leads to death, and that’s exactly what it is.”
Namgung Sohye smiled bitterly again and adjusted the torn hem of her clothes. The fact that she was still breathing heavily meant that she was in a dangerous situation.
On the contrary, Bicheonwoong was silent.
Of course, a lot of strange things happen in this midfield. It is not unheard of for the weak to kill the strong sometimes.
But that too.
‘It has to be similar to some extent…’ This is possible only when the level is similar or when the opponent has a significant weakness.
It was no exaggeration to say that no matter how many times I tried to combine, think about, or calculate the circumstances between Lee and Namgung So-hye, who are on the eighth line, there was not even a speck of probability that Namgung So-hye would win.
Bicheonwoong touched his own neck. They thought
that perhaps Namgung Sohye was a formidable talent who could surpass them
.
“It should look good.”
” yes?”
“No… it’s nothing.”
Bicheonwoong held his breath as he said those words.
Her bright, bright eyes looked scary for some reason.

It takes a moment to sort out the whole situation.
Those who lost their leader are truly a mixed bag. When Sadohak and Namgungcheon joined forces, followed by Bicheonung, no matter how many they were, they could not even approach the area of Ho Namdanga.
Everyone was slaughtered in an instant, and the place was literally reminiscent of a battlefield, with so many corpses scattered everywhere.
It was terrifying just to look at it.
In the end, it was necessary to remove so many bodies before Dansomi occurred, so he called Hong Won-chang and started using the police to remove them one by one.
In this regard, Hong Won-chang and Gumuak were very useful.
Once everything was settled, they finally had time to gather together and drink tea.
“Did something like that happen?”
Namgungcheon broke into a cold sweat as he listened to the whole story.
The moment I heard Bi Cheon-woong’s story, I felt dizzy. When I thought that I could have lost Nam Gung So-hye, I felt a sense of shame.
But what followed was joy.
Namgungcheon and Sadohak jumped in to deal with one person. The fact that Galhwang’s martial arts skills were somewhat high also played a part, but no matter what, he was undoubtedly not an easy opponent.
On the contrary, Namgoong Sohye faced it alone.
In such a situation, I couldn’t control my joy because I had overcome everything.
“I was lucky. So much so that it could be called heavenly luck…”
Namgung Sohye did not think that all such victories were her own.
The situation matched perfectly.
Ryeo Ha-gun did not intend to attack Namgung So-hye’s face, so he boldly took advantage of the opportunity and went in.
If she had attacked without even paying attention, she would have been hit in the face, which could have been fatal for the woman, but she did not hesitate.
All of these situations showed that she was truly a warrior.
Also, not forgetting Dan Woo-hyeon and Miho’s teachings also played a part.
It is said that life and death cannot be divided by the level of the state.
This is a phrase that applies to all warriors, but if there is a difference between Ryeo Ha-gun and Namgung So-hye, they usually have the courage to cut one more time even if it means dying, rather than the desire to live.
But it wasn’t Namgung Sohye.
The desire to overcome.
The thought of living without fail.
It would be no exaggeration to say that something like that led to that result.
Also, others could not hide their surprise about this result. In fact, it is a situation that never makes sense no matter who thinks about it.
Moreover, although Namgung So-hye suffered many injuries, she did not suffer internal or serious injuries, which made it even more shocking.
“Well done, well done. “I think I’ll be fine with this for a while.”
Namgung Cheon smiled softly and stroked Namgung Sohye’s head. As I watched my granddaughter continue to grow, I was so excited that I couldn’t control my heart.
“In the end, we didn’t find out anything.”
Zhuge Un sighed with a disappointed expression.
It would have been okay if someone had caught just one person, but I know that there was no room for that. Those who attacked were caught and made to open their mouths, but most of them committed suicide by eating poison, and those who did not cut off their own tongues.
Since they were just receiving orders in the first place, it was difficult to even know who they were and for whom they were working.
“Anyway, we must guard this place until Dangaju returns. So don’t worry about anything else.”
Namgungcheon stopped Jegalun from clicking his tongue.
The purpose of those here is the same.
To guard and protect this place until Danwoohyeon returns. I believed that if he came back, he would resolve this whole situation at any time. I stay here only for him and Dansomi.
“They are very strong people. When will they attack again?…”
Kwon Moo-jin opened his mouth and took a breath. Although they cut down many people, they also suffered a lot of damage. There were many dead and many seriously injured.
If the attacks continue like this, eventually no one will be able to withstand it.
There is no one who does not know such things.
Everyone had a sad look on their faces.
“What do you think? “I actually like it because it’s fun.”
It was a word from Apostolate that broke that atmosphere.
Like people who literally enjoy being able to fight, and who create opportunities to refine themselves a little more and climb to greater heights.
It is more enjoyable than ever to have such people visit.
Those who saw Sadohak’s deep smile sighed.
It would be nice if all these problems were that simple.
* * *
“Hmm….”
Ryu Taeseo was feeling something.
His pruning hands stopped and he looked away. The expression on his face looking at the sky changed several times in a short period of time.
Sometimes it’s anger, sometimes it’s embarrassment or absurd laughter.
He believes that his plan will not fail under any circumstances. The reason is because he pursues perfection from beginning to end and has the power to solve it that way.
Why does Emperor Tianwu trust Liu Taishu so much?
What is the reason for living as Emperor Chen Wu’s right hand man for such a long time?
That was the power and perfection that Ryu Tae-seo possessed.
But those things fell apart.
He looked up at the sky, checked the flowing clouds, and clicked his tongue.
“It’s the same with the brown guy.”
There was reproach in his voice.
They are definitely great experts. It would not be surprising if those who were once the Eight Immortals and followed Emperor Wu of Heaven for a long time were as strong as you, beyond imagination.
Their star has fallen.
What it means is their death.
Because it was completely unexpected, Ryu Tae-seo was either embarrassed or amused.
If everything is perfect, sometimes you lose interest.
“Did Nam Joo-ryeon and Cheon Moo-gwang do something? “It’s unexpected.”
What was expected was the death of all the characters in the Honam Danga. A child named Dan So-mi would have been dragged in, and with that, the whole situation should have ended perfectly.
Ryu Taeseo turned his back.
I walked for a while and headed somewhere.
When I opened the space with the huge door and entered, I saw Emperor Cheonmu sitting in a lotus position inside the large space.
As I checked that he still hadn’t woken up, I shook off some of the anxiety and ominousness that was still there.
“Ryohagun and Galhwang are dead, brother… There are only a few left now.”
But that doesn’t mean there’s anything to worry about.
This is because Ryu Tae-seo believes that the outcome will not change no matter what the situation may be due to the fact that the worst of the martial arts has been sealed.
No matter what Chen Mu-gwang and Nam Ju-ryeon do in the Zhoushan Islands, they will not be able to do anything about it this time, and that means a complete victory for Emperor Chen Wu.
The energy I feel from Emperor Chun Wu is different from last time.
That means it is time for him to open his eyes.
At most, about a year.
I was just waiting for it, but it felt like it had been longer than a thousand years.
Now when he opens his eyes, everything will change.
The king of the immortal world will change, and Ryu Tae-seo will gain the power to oversee everything by his side.
“ha ha ha.”
Ryu Taeseo smiled.
The ambition in that smile was different from before.
