Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 1069

Episode 1069. Are you trying to kill me? (4)

Mangeumdaebu looked at his subordinates narrowing the siege. His cool gaze slowly moved beyond them to Hong Jian and Hwasan’s disciples who were sharpening their blades.

The last place his eyes landed on was, of course, Jang Il-so.

‘Jang Il-so, I’m sure they won’t criticize him for being a coward.’

It is Safa’s physiology to attack the opponent’s weakness. It doesn’t make any difference whether it’s an enemy or a friend. The person who stabs you in the back is not bad, but the person who gives you the opportunity is stupid. That’s Safa’s way.

Jang Il-so also knew this fact better than anyone else and took advantage of it to come this far. Even if I were to die here and become a widow, I would have no right to blame Mangeumdaebu.

Mangeum Godfather’s eyes slowly turned downward. When I saw the empty, fluttering sleeves, my eyes sank gloomily.

If he hadn’t lost this arm, he might have made a different choice at this moment. Licking Jang Il-so’s feet under him is not very pleasant, but there is no reason to refuse if there is something to be gained.

Pride is not that important to him. I don’t intend to sell it for cheap, but there’s nothing I can’t sell if given the right price.

But… everything changed the moment I lost this arm. For him who uses the Wusoo sword, losing his sword meant that he could no longer live like he had in the past.

If he were in Jang Il-so’s position, what would he have done with Mangeumdaebu, who lost his power? How on earth did they deal with him who had lost most of his military power and only had a position he could not protect as the Orb of the Black Demon?

‘It’s a no brainer.’

He would have approached him like an old snake and whispered that he would let him protect everything he had now if he only followed him. From the moment Godfather Mangeum, who had no other choice, offered his loyalty, he would have slowly and leisurely taken away everything he had.

And later, all you have to do is properly dispose of the loan that has become worthless.

The moment Jang Il-so leaves this place, Mangeum has no other options. You have to choose between dying right now or waiting for the day when everything is taken away by Jang Il-so and you die miserably.

And Mangeum Loan had no intention of worrying between the options. This is because it is not his style to agonize over two options that only result in losses.

What he chose was the third path. By removing Jang Il-so from this position, the whole situation is overturned.

Jang Il-so’s death will drive the barely unified situation in Gangnam into chaos, and the situation in Gangbuk, which was slowly uniting against the enemy named Jang Il-so, will also be thrown into chaos.

Is there any other way for a relatively weak person to survive than to push the world into chaos?

‘This is an opportunity that will never come again.’

It was an opportunity close to heaven.

If the demon cultists they were dealing with had not stopped fighting and retreated as soon as Danjagang appeared, the current Mangeumdaebu would not have had any power left to deal with Honggyeon and Hwasan.

And of course, Mangeum had no intention of missing the opportunity.

“You made a mistake.”

His cool eyes turned to Hwasan and Honggyeon, who were sharpening their blades at the approaching black ghost.

“You saw me too easily. “Jang Il-so.”

And his misjudgment will decide the fate of Pung Woon-ah, Jang Il-so.

The siege became increasingly narrow.

‘not good.’

Baekcheon’s eyes darkened.

The situation would be better if all those troops attacked at once. During the melee, there will definitely be gaps.

However, except for the ten people standing at the forefront, it seemed like they had no intention of even crossing swords with them.

It feels obvious. That’s not a herpes for killing. This is a shingle not to be missed.

I can feel the will not to let even a single rat live, even if it means risking increased damage due to not being able to put all of their effort into the work.

It may be too much for Jang Il-so and Cheongmyeong, who are on the verge of collapse, but Godfather Mangeum is a man who does not tolerate even the slightest variable in the work he commands.

‘Or maybe it was their presence that made Mangum Daebu so cautious.’

Whatever the cause, the result is the same.

Baekcheon slowly lowered one shoulder and bent his knees. It looks like it will jump out to one side at any moment. However, as soon as he lowered his shoulders, the elite black demons who were filling the back row slowly approached the direction his shoulders were facing.

‘…Like a soldier.’

Even if you try to guess, it’s not a skill you’ve guessed once or twice. This type of siege must have been professionally trained. As if practicing hunting.

Baekcheon instinctively licked his lips slightly. There is no way to deny that this situation is a crisis. If we look at it extremely coldly, we should say that everyone here is now halfway to death’s doorstep.

But strangely enough, there was no fear.

“Sasook. Should I go first?”

And it seemed to be the same for the Sasils as well. Baekcheon asked calmly, glancing at Jogeol, who was trembling as if he were about to rush forward at any moment.

“Aren’t you scared?”

“Are you scared?”

Jo Geol chuckled as if she was listening to everything.

“If those bastards are strong, do they have to be as strong as those bishops from before?”

“….”

“I have seen with my own eyes people who turn a blind eye and rush at bishops who don’t even look like them. Wouldn’t it be so pathetic for me to be scared by those people?”

Baekcheon grinned.

“okay. “I agree.”

Other Hwasan disciples also slightly raised their swords as if they agreed with what he said. At that time, Baekcheon spoke sharply in a cold voice.

“But those two are enough to make you go crazy. Don’t lose your temper. “What we need to do is not fight them, but clear a path.”

“yes.”

Everyone’s complexions hardened.

‘There’s nothing wrong with each one, but…’

The problem is that number and they seem to have formed an alliance. On the outside, it looked like they were just roughly surrounding the surroundings, but judging from their strange and slow movements, it was clear that it was some kind of formation. If you deal with someone without thinking, you may end up in big trouble.

But….

‘It’s not something that can be done by being lazy!’

Baekcheon made up his mind and tightened his grip on the sword.

‘good! First, I rush in first and open the way!’

It was the moment when Baekcheon put strength into his legs and tried to jump forward.

“Ohh?”

“omg!”

Baekcheon was startled by an excited voice suddenly heard from behind him and turned around.

“Hey, this is fun.”

“yes?”

Lim So-byeong was holding a fan wide open and flicking it gently. It seemed like Baekcheon didn’t care at all whether he saw it or not.

“Just a moment… Just a moment…”

He muttered to himself and began to carefully look at those who had laid out the siege. Those two eyes were like birds of prey.

“The eight trigrams (八卦) reverse logic (逆理). “Is there a strange fantasy or three talents mixed in?”

Baekcheon closed his eyes in a daze.

At that moment, Lim So-byeong folded the fan he had opened and slammed it down on his hand.

“Tsk tsk tsk. It’s a luxurious strategy that doesn’t suit you. “On the subject of those Sapa bastards.”

“yes?”

“now. Look at the seal.”

Lim So-byeong gestured towards the black ghost.

“The key is not the ones in front, but the ones loitering in the back. If you dig in in a straight line, the guys in front will strengthen their defenses and retreat, and the guys in the back will surround you from the left and right. At least the attack will come from all five directions. “Then what will happen?”

“…yes?”

When Baek-cheon asked blankly, Lim So-byeong frowned. Baekcheon lowered his head at the disdainful look in his eyes that seemed to say, ‘What kind of volcano bastard doesn’t understand such simple things?’

‘No, someone needs to teach me to know…’

All I learned from Hwasan was ‘If a fight breaks out, hit the head first’ and ‘People don’t give up that easily, so attack them first.’ So what can we do?

“…If you rush at it, you will be attacked and thrown away.”

“iced coffee.”

You should have said it so simply from the beginning. Baekcheon nodded with a neat face.

“It seems that Mangeumdaebu has studied volcanoes and Maninbang quite a bit. Aren’t the Hwasan and the Maninbang factions each representing the government, so if a fight breaks out, they attack without thinking?”

“…No, what you are saying is a bit…”

Of course, it is not that wrong, but… You should also think about the perspective of those who hear that from the mouth of the bandit leader…

“It may seem like a hasty siege, but in reality, We have been prepared to respond appropriately. If you can’t overcome your impatience and rush at them, they will surround you, cut off their hair, and plunge the knife deep into their stomachs. Huhuhuhu. Of course, there would be a stupid person who would just rush at me even after seeing that…”

The shoulders of a man who happened to stop just before he ran in shrank. I feel like my throat is sore and my stomach is aching for no reason.

“As expected, it’s a great loan. It’s different from the Black Dragon King. He is someone who clearly understands the art of war. Might be the worst enemy of the volcano or the Ten People. Huhuhuhu.”

Lim So-byeong’s eyes sparkled. Somehow… he seemed like a very excited person who had finally found his major. In this situation.

‘This guy is really crazy too.’

Why do people like this gather around volcanoes?

“but!”

widely!

At that time, Lim So-byeong hit his palm again with his fan.

“That was when I wasn’t around.”

He smiled meaningfully and gently pushed Baekcheon forward.

“If they attack you from all sides, just hold your ground. Even if they see an opportunity, you must never run away. The moment anyone sticks out, they will surround that person, even if it means showing their backs. If you are sucked in one by one to save them, they will all be exterminated.”

Baekcheon heard those words and shouted urgently.

“Yoonjong!”

“Yes Sasuk!”

“Put a leash on the jogger bastard!”

“yes!”

“No, why me….”

“Shut up and stick next to me!”

“…Nun.”

Baekcheon glanced back at Lim So-byeong and said.

“…But will the situation get better if I hold on? “The longer we wait, the more disadvantaged we will be in numbers, right?”

“Of course it is. But…”

Lim So-byeong glanced somewhere and smiled.

“I’ll tell you about that later.”

“….”

“Here we come. Talk later! For now, just hang in there as long as you can. You can do that much, right? “Because it’s a volcano?”

At that moment, the elite Black Demon Treasures that had been strangling them from the front lowered their posture and began to rush towards the volcano.

“Well…”

A big smile appeared on Baekcheon’s lips.

“Of course!”

Paaaaat!

The moment Baekcheon swung his sword, the disciples of Hwasan who were guarding around him simultaneously shook their swords. The red plum blossoms they had bloomed bloomed splendidly in front of the charging elites of the Black Demon Treasures.
