Episode 1298 Is there a place to rest on this earth? (3)
Shoot!
The whole forest shook violently.
The branches stretching out here and there hit each other, creating a sound like waves. Inside, a group of people dressed in blood-colored military uniforms began to rush in and approach at an incredible speed.
Baekcheon’s face hardened in an instant.
‘different!’
His senses, his fingertips, his instincts are screaming. These people are on a different level from those who have blocked their path so far.
There was only one word that came to mind.
‘Sapaeryeon!’
Baekcheon shouted loudly without thinking any more.
“Defend the front lines!”
It was unclear to whom the order was addressed, but there were some who responded clearly and clearly as soon as they heard it.
As soon as Baekcheon’s words fell, Jo Geol, Yunjong, Yu Iseol, and Dang Soso rushed out to the front of the group like a beam of light.
“Come and see, you bastards!”
Jogeol shouted harshly, as if he was not going to be pressured by the momentum. However, the eyes of the suspects revealed behind the masks that almost completely covered their faces were eerily cool and calm.
Paaaaaa!
The Blood Righteous Man’s fine sword flew towards Jo Geol like a poisonous snake.
It was a sword strike with such incredible speed that even Jo Geol, who excels at sharp swords, stopped breathing for a moment.
Kaang!
Jo Geol raised the plum sword and struck down the flying rapier in one go.
The Blood Righteous Man’s eyes flashed eerily for an instant. He soon slowed down his running speed slightly.
Jo Geol was slightly embarrassed.
‘what?’
The answer was given even before the question was completed in my head. The Blood Guardian, who had slowed down, rushed at Jo Geol again, keeping pace with the Blood Guardians who had joined from behind.
With just one sword strike, the three of them were able to determine the opponent’s skills and make the necessary moves for hunting.
Wow!
Rapiers as thin as fingers were aimed at Jo Geol’s body one after another.
The sharp sword is as fast as it is thin and is not easy to block. This is because precise operation is required to strike the sword body. Of course, due to its nature, there is a limit to the amount of force it can carry. So, it cannot be considered a very threatening weapon.
However, the moment the number of rapiers reached three, the situation completely changed.
“Tsk!”
Jo Geol swung his sword one after another and struck down the flying swords.
Basically, his specialty is offense. It is a serial attack that strikes the enemy faster and more bitterly than anyone else. However, in this situation, he could not use his skills at all.
Kang! Kaang! Kagang!
Three swords flew towards Jo Geul one after another like elaborately interlocking gears. Every time he struck out one sword and tried to counterattack, another sword flew towards his vital spot.
It’s not difficult to pull it off. Avoiding it is also not impossible.
But I couldn’t dare to find a clue to counterattack. The moment he clumsily switches to the offensive, that sword will pierce his body. A sword so poisonous that it turns its entire body black!
‘These guys!’
Jo Geol has never been afraid of fighting the majority.
Because we have always fought against the majority. It may be a sparring match, but in a real fight, he always swung his sword against a large number of people. So, I believed that his sword naturally developed accordingly.
But these…
‘Damn it! be good at!’
It is not simply a question of number.
The people we have dealt with so far have only increased in number. Dealing with both at the same time only doubled the difficulty.
But not these. Their swords cleverly complement each other. It’s a ridiculous analogy, but rather than several people attacking at the same time, it felt like a three-armed person holding a sword in each hand and firing back and forth.
Jo Geol desperately understood. There is a difference as big as heaven and earth between simply fighting the majority and fighting those who have learned sophisticated passing techniques.
Faaah!
Jo Geol’s head suddenly turned violently to the side.
A sharp rapier narrowly passed by the side of the cheek. However, the extended rapier was quickly retrieved again before it could even pass Jo Geol’s face.
‘You bastard!’
Sparks flew out of Jo Geol’s eyes.
It wasn’t something I did with all my might. If it was made with all your might, there is no way it could be recovered that easily. What this means is that he swung his sword with some energy left to spare.
Jo Geol knows very well what this means. If he had the strength, it would have been possible to swing the extended sword sideways and wound Jo Geol’s face.
But they just recovered the sword. This is a plan to take him down step by step, even if it takes more time.
As expected, the eyes of the blood righteous person who retrieved the sword were colder and colder than at first.
For a moment, Jo Geol felt a chill down her spine.
Fear of being hunted.
For the first time, the fear of being cornered by a hunter who had set countless traps struck Jogeol’s mind.
‘I…’
He distorted his face cruelly.
“Do I look like a little rabbit, you bastards!”
Jogeol
’s sword instantly split and red plum leaves bloomed. No, he tried to make them bloom.
But at that very moment.
Taaaaaaa!
Instantly, on Jogeol’s face. I was a bit embarrassed. The moment his sword was about to split splendidly, one of the Blood Guards in front rushed forward and struck his sword hard. ‘What?
‘
A dull shock was sent to my wrist. The wind that was trying to rise was suddenly cut off.
Jo Geol and the blood righteous man’s eyes met each other in the air.
Love, love, love!
At the same time, the two swords rushed in, aiming for the condition. Jo Geol-gi The moment he panicked and retrieved his sword and was about to step back, a tremendous suction power burst out from the sword of the blood righteous that came into contact with it, sucking Jo Geol’s sword in. ‘Huh?
‘
Sigh!
The swords coming from both sides were about to sink into Jo Geul’s body like the fangs of a poisonous snake.
Kaaaaaaaaa!
The sword that was flying in like a sword strike from behind collided and bounced away. At the same time, someone struck Jo Geol. “Don’t get excited.
”
“Sasuk!”
Baekcheon, who saved Jogeol from danger, said softly while glaring at the enemy. His face was slightly distorted.
“These guys… are experts.”
Baekcheon’s eyes seemed to be analyzing the enemy.
It was natural for Jo Geol to be embarrassed. Their tendencies are different from those that Hwasan has dealt with so far. These are not people who want to use force to suppress them.
‘And that sword strike a moment ago…’
The reason Baekcheon’s face became serious was because of the strike that blocked the sword that Jo Geol was about to deploy.
The sword of the volcano dazzles and shakes. However, the sword strike was aimed precisely at the point where the volcano sword extends. No matter how huge the plum tree is, it cannot bloom without branches. That sword strike was like cutting off the flower that Jo Geol was trying to bloom.
Instantaneous wit?
‘no.’
It was a sword attack that could not have been made without prior analysis. They know volcanoes well. This means that they are people who have studied how to deal with volcano swordsmen when they encounter them.
As expected, not only Jojo but also others were being held back.
“Pfft! You bastards!”
Tang Soso retreated sharply backwards.
Normally, I would have been able to deal with the three who were clinging to me. However, this is the first time for Hwasan’s disciples to deal with people who have mastered the art of joint training so well.
Besides, I was exhausted coming all the way here.
Yunjong and Yui Seol were holding up better than the previous two due to their tendencies, but that was all. It was not possible to overwhelm the enemy.
Above all, the biggest problem was…
Baekcheon’s sharp gaze looked into the distance. The blood people, excluding those who were attached to the disciples of Hwasan, are watching the situation with their swords lowered. And in the middle of them, someone who looked different just watched the situation indifferently and slowly raised his arm.
“good.”
The moment he made a gesture, those waiting all at once rushed towards Haenam’s disciples who were protected by the volcano. The speed was so incredible that it seemed as if a red blood line was forming in the air.
Papapot.
A quiet rush without any of the usual spirit.
The faces of Haenam’s disciples at the end turned blue.
They don’t know how strong they are as they haven’t yet used their swords. I don’t have enough experience or keen insight to instantly gauge how great something is.
But you can still tell.
The prey recognizes the predator.
The reason a large deer runs away when it sees a small snake is not because it is fully aware of its size and the danger of its sharp fangs. This is because our instinctive senses detect entities that threaten us.
The same was true for Haenam’s disciples now.
Instincts that had never been revealed because I had lived without being threatened until now were showing their presence by screaming at me to get away immediately.
However, the speed at which the blood righteous rushed in was much faster than the disciples of Haenam following the voice of their instincts.
Taaat!
One of the suspects who rushed in without a single ounce of courage swung his black rapier sharp enough to scare him.
“Ugh!”
Although they may be cornered, Haenam’s disciples are also proud elites of the old faction. He was not weak enough to be embarrassed by the sword attack he showed once while dealing with Hwasan.
Haenam’s sword, swung like a thunderbolt, struck the flying rapier at once. It seemed like the thin sword would be cut in two with a single blow. It was an impeccably effective response to a sharp but not heavy rapier.
but.
Quang!
Contrary to expectations, what erupted the moment the slender rapier and the rough sword of Haenam collided was a huge explosion.
Kwak Hwan-so opened his eyes wide.
The swords of the executioners actually bounced off the rapier. Incredibly.
‘what…?’
Does this mean that the power contained in that thin sword is stronger than the swords that Haenam’s disciples swung with all their might?
No, it’s not like that!
Guo Huanxiao’s eyes urgently looked at the wrists of the bloodthirsty people. I was definitely shaking. In addition, the complexions of the blood-righteous people changed for a moment but became pale.
‘Those bastards!’
Those guys expected it.
How will Haenam deal with them? That is why he was able to withstand the blow by momentarily pushing an excessive amount of internal power into the sword.
Unconventional operation that goes beyond common sense. But it was immediately clear what the cost of that operation was.
Paaaaat!
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
The swords of the blood righteous pierced the panicked Haenam disciples like lightning for a moment. I was only thinking about what to do after pushing the opponent away, so I was confused when I found myself in a completely unexpected situation. It was a result that was almost certain
.
“Oh, no!”
Guo Huanxiao was startled and stretched out his hand. If everything collapses so quickly, everything will collapse before you even have time to try…
Quaaaaaaaaa!
At that time, there was a loud noise and a terrifying white light that seemed to blind one’s eyes. The blood-thirsty people who were running towards me bounced back helplessly as if they had been hit by a cannonball.
“Huh?”
“Back!”
A man lightly stepped down in front of them with a stiff face. A swordsman with a handsome face that looked slightly arrogant.
“I’ll take charge of the front.”
Nangung Dowi slowly raised his sword, which was stained with white light, and a king-like aura was radiating from his entire body.
