Episode 1264. Don’t let them live. (4)
It must be seen as a strange thing that silence fell on the noisy battlefield.
This is a situation where people who were biting each other and swinging swords stop due to the presence of one person and a single word.
‘Can I do that?’
And Kwak Hwan-so was feeling greatly shocked and uncomfortable not only by this situation but also by Cheongmyeong’s words.
Who is the household name? He is the soldier of the Maninbang and the second-in-command of the Maninbang in name and reality.
No, at this point, it would be no exaggeration to say that he is the second-in-command of the Sapae-Ryun that rules Gangnam.
This means that no matter how many famous people there are in the world, if you consider their importance across the world, they are people who cannot be included in the list of ten fingers, but are bound to be included in the list of twenty toes.
But what? who?
‘Is that guy really sane?’
No matter how strange a person is, it is normal to understand it to some extent if you keep watching it, but the more the author looked, the more he couldn’t understand it.
“… I think we meet.”
Now, he was constantly tilting his head while looking at Hu Jia-myeong. As I was looking at such clarity, I suddenly had a fundamental and fundamental question about what ‘understanding’ means.
“Well… Cheongmyeong.”
Yoon Jong, who slowly approached in the cold atmosphere, lowered his voice and told Cheongmyeong,
“It’s a nickname. It’s a nickname.”
“……Ho what?”
“Phase name!”
“Who is that?”
Yunjong’s face was strangely distorted.
“House name! You bastard! A nickname! That’s the name that came up every time we had a meeting! “The military nickname of all people!”
“Ah!”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes lit up and he clapped his hands.
“I know who he is!”
“Did you finally remember?”
“Jang Il-so, that bastard who keeps following around and being rude!”
“……”
Yoonjong immediately covered his eyes with one hand.
“Yes. Like that.” ‘I’m glad you know.’
It’s better than not knowing.
Where is that? That’s…
“Ah, sorry.”
Cheongmyeong chuckled and joked with Ho Jiamyeong.
“I’m not the type of person who can’t remember people’s faces…”
“I’m the type of person who can’t. “Hey.”
“I’m not good at much. “Cheongmyeong.”
“no. That bastard remembers people’s faces well. “You don’t treat people like that as people.”
“…That also makes sense.”
Regardless of what others said or not, Cheongmyeong smiled and said.
“There’s this guy with me that stands out every time I see him. “I’m sorry.”
“……”
“Honestly, that’s the right thing to say. A boy wearing makeup is dancing in front of me, but I wonder if he will even notice me. This isn’t my fault.”
A strange silence fell once again.
It seemed like something very wrong to say, but…
‘I understand.’
‘It’s honestly Jang Il-so’s fault.’
‘It’s not a crime to be simple…’
Cheongmyeong smiled and looked at Ho Ga-myeong.
“It seems like you go around alone without a grocery store. Are you okay? Alone?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Hu Jiaming.
In fact, those are very humiliating words. Hu Jiaming is the unwavering second-in-command of all people, no matter what anyone says. There is no way those words would not be insulting to such a person. It’s like an insult thrown in his face. There was none.
Especially… In the world of the Four Schools, where inaction is more important than anything else, it is true that Hu Jiaming, who was not very good at inaction, was able to rise to his current position thanks to Jang Ilso’s absolute protection. Although it is only a few words, Cheongmyeong’s words say, ‘You
are It even contained the derogatory statement, ‘Thanks to a tiger named Jang Il-so, I am nothing more than a fox guarding Hu Ga-myeong.’ If you think about
it, the statement is not so wrong, so the humiliation that Hu Ji-myeong feels will be even greater.
Everyone looked at Hu Ji-myeong’s reaction. How could he express his anger? I was wondering what would happen.
But even under everyone’s gaze, Hu Jiaming still had no expression. As usual, Hu Jiaming’s lips opened indifferently as he surveyed the situation with cool eyes. “It’s a very rude thing to say, but… if the opponent is the Hwasan
Sword Association, rudeness can be rude. Probably not.”
It was a soft voice, but that made it even more catchy. Cheongmyeong’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Hu Jiaming said with a calm face and a small nod.
“Rather, it is an honor that the world’s Hwasan Sword Association remembers my face.”
There was no trace of sarcasm in his voice. They are just calmly accepting Cheongmyeong’s provocation.
And those words made those here see the Hwasan Sword Association again.
That soldier of all people. No, isn’t Ho Ga-myeong, who should now be called a soldier of the Sapae-ryeon, saying that he is honored that Cheong-myeong recognizes him? These words made me realize once again how great the person standing with them was.
“But… it’s a little surprising.”
Hu Jiaming’s gaze left Qingming and landed on each of Chen Wumeng’s other bright swords. It was a piercing look. “
What were you thinking that brought you all the way to this distant land in the South Sea?”
The air cooled down in an instant. Cheongmyeong clicked his tongue.
“You’re not funny.”
I shook him slightly, but he didn’t shake at all.
Cheongmyeong knows. From experience, this type is the most difficult to deal with.
“There’s no taste in being surprised.”
“No.”
Surprisingly, Ho Jiamyeong shook his head.
“I am very surprised. I never imagined I would meet you here.”
“……”
“What you said was not wrong. It is said that the truly scary thing is not the strong, but the madman…” I
can’t understand. Neither this situation nor Cheon Woo-maeng’s intention.
No. I understand the intention. Saying that he can’t is a bit wrong.
I understand the intention. He must have wanted to save Haenam. Whether for the sake of negotiation or to secure a little more power to deal with the Sapae-ryeon in the future. That’s not the
part that Hu Jia-myeong doesn’t understand.
“Can I ask one question?”
“Any number.”
“Haenam, one of the old factions, of course it must be an important faction. But… do you really think that your lives here are less important than those in Haenam?”
At those words, the expressions of some people changed.
It was a question that was asked so calmly that it hit me even harder.
“To put it bluntly, it is wrong to say that you should not make mistakes. Because everyone is bound to make mistakes. The important thing is not not to make mistakes, but not to make fatal mistakes.”
“……”
“I think what you have done now qualifies as that fatal mistake. What do you think?”
Aren’t you surprised?
There is no lie in anything Hu Jiaming said. I can’t remember the last time I was this embarrassed.
When the signal went off behind me, I thought it was the Haenam guys doing their trick, but I never thought I’d see those Cheonwoo-maeng guys and the Hwasan Sword Association here.
But it only takes a moment to be surprised.
“I don’t particularly like saying things like this, but…”
A faint smile appeared on Hu Jiaming’s lips for the first time.
“Receiving unexpected income is a term used for times like this. I never thought I’d come and see you here to deal with a petty bastard like Haenam.”
Baekcheon’s face hardened.
‘Holy family name… Jang Il-so’s soldier.’
I thought they would be very surprised.
As soon as they saw the battle situation here, I expected them to freak out and attack.
But instead, Hu Jiaming slowly stopped the battlefield and observed them. That fact put a different pressure on Bai Qian than before. .
Jang Il-so is a capricious beast.
And the Demonic Cult is a beast steeped in madness.
In general, that is the case. The people they have dealt with so far are people who cannot be judged by the common sense of an ordinary person who is afraid because they do not know what they will do.
However, the nickname is It’s different.
In those cold, sunken eyes, there’s nothing at all like the madness seen in the place or the bishop. All
that’s visible is a cool-headed intelligence and a calmness so great that it gives you goosebumps.
‘…You’re saying he’s a hunter?’
It is truly scary to be chased by a hungry beast from behind.
But what about being chased by someone who wants to hunt you from behind?
Can that really be said to be better than being chased by a hungry beast?
The fact that the person who came here is probably Ho Ga-myeong. It was at a time when Baekcheon thought that it might be an absolute misfortune.
“A mistake?”
Cheongmyeong’s crooked voice rang out.
“Well, it could be.”
He chuckled and took a step forward.
“But I don’t think you know anything.”
“hmm?”
“Mistakes,”
Cheongmyeong’s lips slightly parted, revealing his white teeth.
“It only has meaning for someone who has the ability to point out and use it!”
Paaaaaaa!
At that moment, Cheongmyeong’s dark sword swung like a thunderbolt. A black energy as red as fresh blood bloomed in the air.
I love you so much!
The sword energy flew in a straight line towards Hu Jiaming’s neck at an incredible speed. However, Hu Jiaming coldly looked at the sword energy flying at him without any intention of avoiding it.
“under!”
At that time, with an excited voice, a person close to Hu Jiaming jumped up at an incredible speed.
The moment he blocked Ho Ga-myeong’s path.
Kwaaaaaaaaaa!
The sword and sword energy collided, and red sword energy flew in all directions like firecrackers.
“run!”
“I get it!”
Baekcheon, who came to his senses, grabbed the collar of Haenam disciple, who was still unconscious, and pushed him backwards.
“Get on board! Now!”
“Yes? Ah… Yes!”
Only then did Haenam’s disciples come to their senses and run with all their might toward the boat. From the moment Cheongmyeong fired his sword energy, Hwasan’s disciples were already running towards the ship, jumping and stabbing those who stood in their way.
“Don’t miss it!”
“yes!”
At the sound of a shout coming from somewhere, the main unit of the Maninbang also kicked the ground with all its might and ran forward.
The quiet battlefield suddenly boiled over again.
Goeyang, the blood sword master, quietly looked at Cheongmyeong’s running back and shook off his wrist.
“…The Volcano Sword Association.”
As I muttered softly, a cold voice soon reached my ear.
“This is not someone you can deal with.”
“Cluck cluck.”
The monster laughed.
He is the sober drinker of all people. Unless you are Jang Il-so, you have no reason to hear such words from anyone in the world. But instead of feeling offended, he actually smiled as if he was happy.
“Maybe so. It’s a monster.”
The sharp pain felt in the wrist proves that fact.
The sword thrown as a joke and the sword swung with all his might collided, but he was the one who suffered the loss. Of course, it would be difficult to discuss the prowess of martial arts by itself, but it was enough to tell how strong the opponent was.
“But… there’s no need to do that.”
The monster bared his teeth and laughed.
“Even tigers die when they are torn apart by a herd of wildcats. What we do is not a game, but hunting.”
Ho Ga-myeong slowly nodded his head at those words.
“That’s correct.”
It doesn’t matter what you do.
This is the southernmost part of Haenam’s central plain. Even if it is not a tiger but a dragon… no, even if it is something that surpasses a dragon, there is only one fate that awaits the person who steps into this place. “Be sure to kill him.” “Why don’t you report it to Yeonju
?
”
“…… “It is not too late to report after killing.”
At those words, the blood sword leader showed a strange smile.
“If you’d like to take responsibility, I’m welcome.”
As he turned his head and looked at Cheongmyeong, his eyes were filled with murder.
