Episode 1321. That is, if it’s a person. (1)
“Run faster! more!”
Geumyangbaek swallowed the blood rising to his throat and pushed the elders’ backs.
Those who have dedicated their lives to learning nothing for decades are having a hard time even running at the pace of their students.
‘What a terrible poison it is…’
Of course poison is dangerous.
However, for those who have reached a certain level, it is not that scary.
This is because no matter what kind of poison it is, if you can control your body, you can expel it.
This is Kangho’s common sense and a theory they are familiar with.
But in this hellish battlefield, none of the common sense I knew applies.
Although it is said that one can control poison with internal strength, who can truly preserve their internal strength in a battlefield where they must fight with all their might?
Moreover, when the enemy is using evil tactics and throwing swords at you, what time do you have to use your luck?
I don’t know if it’s possible to reach the realm of movement where you can perform movements while running, but there is no one in Haenam who has reached that realm.
Because you can’t enter the pupil’s realm simply by increasing your strength.
“Cough!”
“Elder Lee!”
Geumyangbaek quickly grabbed the shoulder of the collapsing elder.
If he hadn’t caught me, I would have fallen on the spot and never gotten up again.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay… Cough!”
Black blood poured out from Elder Lee’s mouth again.
If you move vigorously while the poison is circulating, the poisoning will worsen.
But now they had no other options.
I have no choice but to endure it all and just run.
Geumyangbaek gritted his teeth.
How many of these will be able to overcome the poison?
In this situation, if enemies attack, will you be able to swing your sword properly?
Kaaaaaaaa!
At that moment, a strong noise like scraping metal was heard.
I quickly turned around and saw the sword spinning and soaring into the air.
And the human head rising next to it.
‘Hwasan Swordsmen Association!’
Cheongmyeong was blocking them like an iron wall as they rushed at them like hungry animals.
Paaaaaa!
The outstretched sword sharply cut the inside of my elbow.
The wind got out of control and flew out of his grasp and soared into the air.
The sword that cut off half of the opponent’s arm pierced Maninbando’s heart at once.
“Gagging….”
Quad deuk!
The stuck sword rotated.
Before he could even realize that he was not dead yet and before he could even try to do anything with his remaining strength, the spinning sword cut off all of Tenjinbangdo’s heart veins and shattered his insides.
A killing sword that leaves no room for a counterattack.
There is no waste in the sword of clarity.
But at the same time, the sword of Qingming is extremely wasteful.
From the point of view of martial arts, the process of stabbing an opponent, cutting off an arm, twisting a sword inserted into the heart, etc. is nothing more than a useless chore.
If the ideal of martial arts is to strike quickly and accurately at the opponent’s vital point, the current sword of Cheongmyeong is completely outside of that ideal.
However, paradoxically, that useless waste made the Sword of Cheongmyeong infinitely more efficient.
The sword used only by Cheongmyeong, which does not exist in any textbook of volcanology, was ruthlessly cutting down approaching enemies.
“Hwaaaaa!”
However, the Maninbangdos were also formidable.
Even though all those who approach the Hwasan Sword Association are in despair, there is not even the slightest hesitation in Maninbando’s light attack.
Quad deuk!
The person who had been pierced through the chest instantly struck back the dark plum sword stuck in his chest.
bang!
This is definitely crazy.
The stuck sword could not overcome the weight of the sword and sank down.
Naturally, he suffered serious injuries that could not be saved even if Daera Shinseon came, and his internal organs were cut out at once.
It was an act close to self-harm, but in return, the sword of Cheongmyeong stopped moving for an instant.
Then, the rushing Maninbandos kicked the ground with such force that their legs would be crushed.
“Die!”
There is no need to even explain what it means for the sword of the sword to be blocked.
But Cheongmyeong’s response exceeded their expectations.
Paaaaat!
Cheongmyeong slammed the lowered sword into the floor with the same force.
Sigh!
The moment the sword completely penetrated the body and became embedded in the ground, the left arm of Cheongmyeong stretched out at the speed of a lightning strike and struck the handle of my sword.
Quaaaang!
Then, the handle of the sword struck the Maninbando in front of him like a cannonball fired from close range.
Then, those who were running from behind flinched for a moment.
Avoid? Or just drill it out?
No, there is no difference whatever the decision is.
From the moment they hesitated even for a moment, the ending they would face was already decided.
Taaaaang!
A sound as if a large amount of highly elastic wood was being pulled and released erupted, and green-colored tension struck the Maninbando swords one after another.
Bamboo leaf tree.
Unlike Hwasan, which focuses on transformation and illusion, it is a tension that utilizes the techniques of kwae (快) and strength (强).
The most realistic tension stopped those who rushed in.
Whilick.
Cheongmyeong immediately kicked up the sword that was stuck in the ground and snatched it out of the air.
And I just threw it out.
Paaaaaa!
As the sword flies in at incredible speed, one of the Maninbangdoes swings the sword in a haphazard manner and strikes it down.
No, I tried to hit it.
But at that moment.
Stand tall!
The sword, which was flying at an unbelievable speed, stopped in place like a lie.
‘What?’
The eyes of Maninbangdo, who was about to swing the sword, widened.
‘Stop…’
But the sword had already swung with all its might and now there was no stopping it.
The sword that was swung to block the sword passed the sword and gradually extended to the side.
The entire world, including his Tao, is moving violently, but only that sword remains motionless, as if time has stopped.
and.
Paaaaat!
At that moment, time that had stopped began to flow again.
The sword that had stopped moved at the same speed as when it first flew, and was thrown into the very space where the sword had cut through in vain.
It was a ridiculous situation where you could see everything and do nothing.
In all these situations, Maninbando engraved in his mind the cold eyes of Cheongmyeong looking at him.
Quack!
The moment the sword pierced my neck, a burning sensation spread through me.
The sword, which pierced the neck in a straight line, soon cut horizontally and cut the neck of the other person who was running towards him in one go.
The Maninbando’s offensive does not stop even at this moment.
One sword flew towards Cheongmyeong’s sword, and another sword flew towards Cheongmyeong’s upper body.
Even if the Hwasan Sword Association were the best swordsmen, the thought was that if they could block the movement of the sword, they could do anything against them.
They know what to do because they have defeated those stronger than themselves countless times in countless battles.
But Cheongmyeong is also not the ordinary expert they have dealt with so far.
Instead of dodging the sword that clashed with his sword, Cheongmyeong struck again without hesitation.
Kaaaaang!
The flying sword bounced back with an ear-piercing metallic sound.
However, taking advantage of that opportunity, the sword that spewed out bright blue pottery was launched at incredible speed towards Cheongmyeong’s upper body.
Cheongmyeong threw his body backwards without delay, but the speed of pulling back could not be faster than the speed of thrusting the sword.
‘Gotcha…’
Just as Maninbangdo was about to cry out in joy in his heart, Cheongmyeong, who was backing away, quickly stretched out his hand towards the sword that was almost touching his chest.
Hot!
Then he grabbed the blade of the sword with his bare hand.
Maninbando was so shocked that his heart jumped out of his throat and he opened his mouth without realizing it.
Holding it with your hands? Dogi is young?
No matter how much of a bet there is in your hands, who would pick up a sword if that were possible?
But there was no time to continue thinking.
The sword that regained its freedom flew at incredible speed towards Maninbando’s neck.
Lose!
There probably wasn’t any pain.
Maninbando, whose head was completely cut off in a single blow, floundered forward and fell to the ground.
Quang!
Cheongmyeong kicked the body away and straightened out his sword.
Kakang! Kang!
The sword quickly moved back and forth between the two swords that flew as if they were a pair.
He twisted the sword with his sword as if opening a door with both hands.
And Cheongmyeong’s left arm continued to emit red tension.
Plum blossom landscape at its peak.
Tension, red as autumn leaves, exploded one after another on the side of Maninbando, who lost his balance.
“Aaaahhh!”
All my ribs are crushed and even my danjeon is shaken.
Having been hit directly by the Plum Blossom Tree, he swung his sword with all his strength right before reaching the inevitable outcome of death.
But at that moment, something flew at the speed of light and hit his forehead.
Quack!
“Turn off ….”
The dagger was stuck in the forehead and was broken down.
As if Cheongmyeong had anticipated this outcome, he had already moved to the others and was making a hole for air.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The person whose neck or heart was pierced died on the spot, but the person whose abdomen or shoulder was pierced somehow held on to his last breath and fought back.
The Sword of Clarity is still stretched out and has not been recovered.
Even if the sword that flew from behind his back cut off his head, he tried to swing the sword with the determination to land just this one blow.
But unfortunately, Cheongmyeong wasn’t the only one they had to deal with.
Look!
The sword extended from Cheongmyeong’s side and instantly slit the throat of the person who was running towards him.
It is different from Cheongmyeong’s extremely fast sword.
The softest, but at the same time the most lethal sword strike.
Blood poured like a waterfall from the man’s neck, whose carotid artery had been completely cut.
The white sword body instantly turned red.
However, rather than being shaken, Yu Iseol quickly retrieved the sword as if nothing like that had happened.
And right then.
“Dojaaaaaang!”
An angry shout came out from the mouth of the party leader.
They noticed something flying above their heads.
Jin Cheon-roe!
The cursed object that poisoned all the Haenam elders by regurgitating the party’s poison was flying over Cheongmyeong’s head.
If that explodes, no matter how clear it is… But at that moment, I saw the party lose.
The sight of countless red petals blooming like a fantasy, stretching out as if to greet a flower bomb and gently wrapping around it.
“Ah…”
At that dreamlike sight, the party lost all reality and situation and let out an exclamation.
The thing that brought him back to reality was none other than Cheongmyeong’s indifferent voice.
“I’m sorry, but…”
Dangpae’s eyes instantly fell on Cheongmyeong.
All I could see was the back, but I felt like I knew it.
What kind of expression is Cheongmyeong making right now?
“I don’t accept gifts from Sapa.”
Paaaat!
The boat bounced back faster than the speed at which the fire bullet wrapped in plum leaves flew.
The Maninbando members who saw the fire bomb flying over their heads widened their eyes in surprise.
yet.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A huge explosion occurred.
The Maninbando Islands, which had been rushing at them like a swarm of ants, were torn apart.
