Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 1378

Episode 1378 The preparations are now complete. (3)

“Shoot, shoot!”

Paaaaaa!

An arrow flew through the air. Jo Geol’s face suddenly distorted.

“Damn arrows! “I’m so sick of this!”

bang!

As soon as he kicked the ground, the sword split the air like a beam of light. The rain of arrows pouring down on the sword drawn in the air bounced like raindrops hitting the eaves.

“Ugh.”

After dealing with the arrow and landing, Jo Geol clutched his side and groaned. Then he started yelling.

“Why do the Sapa bastards not run proudly with swords, but cowardly shoot bows? “Aren’t you embarrassed?”

Baekcheon muttered as if it were absurd.

“Isn’t it sad because it’s cowardly?”

What on earth does Sapa look like in that bastard’s head?

Baekcheon was embarrassed, but Yoonjong was worried about Jogeol.

“Don’t show up and stay back! “He’s not even physically fit!”

“Hey, is there anyone here with a healthy body? “It’s all the same.”

“That crazy guy…”

Jo Geol ran forward like a colt again. A ridiculous sound of nonsense came out of Yoonjong’s mouth.

Of course, this is not so wrong. Because there are fewer sane people here now than unhealthy people.

The problem is that even people who are not sane are divided into classes.

“He’s no better than a returned invoice!”

Yoonjong’s eyes lit up and he kicked the ground. It would be better to preach to a three-month-old puppy not to bark and to be quiet than to tell Jo-geol not to show off.

“Taap!”

Yoon Jong, who rushed ahead of Jo Geol at once, pierced the neck of the person who was dealing with Jo Geol.

Jo Geol opened his eyes wide.

“Death penalty! “This is mine!”

“Why don’t you shut up, man?”

Yunjong, who spat out harsh words uncharacteristically for a Taoist monk, immediately lowered his stance and struck away the incoming Sapa bastard. He was about to continue his counterattack, but suddenly he saw someone’s back jumping over him and slamming his sword down.

Quack!

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Safain, who had a clear hole in the exact center of his chest, collapsed with an expression of disbelief. The swordsman, who pulled out his sword without delay and pushed the falling Sapain, shouted strongly.

“Sasuk…. uh?”

Yoonjong, who thought it was Baekcheon, flinched for a moment. It is not a volcanic martial arts uniform.

“Crush it at once! “It’s nothing!”

“yes!”

To the left and right of Yoonjong, warriors in blue military uniforms passed by fiercely. Yoonjong burst out laughing for a moment.

“This is a sight I’ve seen many times somewhere…”

After defeating his enemy, Kwak Hwan-so never looked back. Haenam’s disciples followed him tenaciously.

Yunjong habitually rotated his sword once to shake off the blood and straightened his back.

‘Is the term ‘remarkable partner’ used in times like this?’

Of course, it’s still not enough. If I were to imitate Cheongmyeong’s speaking style, I would have to say, ‘You still have a long way to go, you kids.’

This is not simply a thought driven by Yoonjong’s pride. Looking at it objectively, they still look like children holding a famous sword in their hands. This is especially true when he finds it difficult to even properly use the martial arts skills he has acquired.

But still, they are wielding that famous sword. It has changed dramatically from the first time, when I was shaking with fear and not knowing what I was holding in my hands.

“⋯⋯It’s definitely an experience⋯⋯.”

“Oh damn! “Be careful what you say!”

“huh?”

Yunjong, who was muttering, turned around without understanding what was going on in response to the dissuasion that came his way. Jo Geol shouted loudly with his face distorted.

“I know what you’re thinking about capital punishment, but if you say it like that, that rotten bastard is justifying putting us through all kinds of hell!”

Of course, I am talking about Cheongmyeong.

“⋯⋯That’s not possible.”

That’s that and this is this. Ah.

“So just shut your mouth!”

“⋯⋯Okay.”

Yoonjong humbly answered. But soon I burst into laughter.

It’s true that the enemies blocking our path aren’t that strong, but if Haenam hadn’t stepped up and fought hard, we wouldn’t have had the chance to have a comfortable conversation with Geol-gi Jo like we do now.

‘If you just fight calmly, you can’t fail at your best.’

Although it is called the corner stone of the old sect, it is still one of the nine sects in the world. There is bound to be a huge difference between places that are called ‘gupailbang’ and places that are not.

If they keep fighting like they are now, they will become a solid force. And when you finally have no hesitation about fighting, you may become one of the factions that represent the Cheonwoomaeng.

Especially…

“The tip of the sword is shaking! “Don’t get excited!”

“yes!”

Yunjong narrowed his eyes.

‘That guy is definitely amazing.’

His eyes were fixed on the back of Guo Huanxiao, who fought fiercely but did not forget precise instructions.

‘Because of that person, I sometimes forget that the gold seal is here.’

This is something that couldn’t have happened in the first place.

Even if you are a long-time writer, you cannot dare to compare yourself with a long-time writer. Even though he may become a long-time writer, isn’t it possible to compare something that has already been realized with a vague possibility?

However, the great thing about Kwak Hwan-so was that even Yoonjong, who knew the truth, was sometimes mistaken.

I can no longer remember the image of Kwak Hwan-so that I saw at the Shaolin dance competition in the past. The present is so powerful that the past is all forgotten.

A bitter smile appeared on Yoonjong’s lips.

I now clearly understand the reaction that those who knew about volcanoes had whenever they saw the current Ogeum. Of course, if you see Kwak Hwan-so changing even half as much, you can’t help but be surprised.

“It’s in front of the death penalty!”

“Know!”

“I will stand in front.”

“Get back! “This is my place!”

And the disciples of Haenam who receive instructions from Kwak Hwan-so also show absolute trust in Kwak Hwan-so.

When people overcome a crisis together, they become stronger than before. The bond they have built in this short period of time may possibly surpass the long time they previously spent together within the sect.

‘I will become stronger.’

Of course, the damage suffered by Haenam is not easily recoverable.

Lost so many things. I had to leave Haenam Island, which had been my strong base, and many of my disciples left in the process. Nearly half of the remaining disciples were sacrificed while trying to break through Gangnam.

When evaluated calmly, the current Haenam may have already lost the right to be called an old-time town. Even if there was no further damage, it was clear that it would take many days to regain the lost strength.

But despite this, Yunjong believed that Haenam would become even stronger.

He has already experienced that it is not conditions that make a faction strong. Home, property, or even cause are not important.

The only thing that makes a sect strong is the heart and will of its members.

And Haenam today has that. That will was not there when I left Haenam.

“okay. Be strong…”

“Don’t think about anything else on the battlefield, you pathetic bastard!”

Baekcheon shouted loudly and rushed forward like a gust of wind. Yunjong’s eyebrows were strangely distorted.

‘Shall we ask Haenam to change the jangmun character?’

Haenam won’t accept it?

Yunjong, who thought about it and then laughed, grabbed his sword and quickly followed behind Baekcheon.

“There are more and more people from private quarters.”

“There will be more.”

Baekcheon coolly looked at the enemies rushing in.

‘I’m still wondering what to do.’

Honestly, it’s not really a threat. There is no need for him to participate in small and medium-sized factions that have been duly summoned. Isn’t he even a match for Haenam anymore?

What matters is not how easy the enemy is to deal with. The enemy began to identify the locations of Cheonwoomaeng and Haenam.

From now on, we will have to overcome the rough road again.

‘But that means we’re almost to the Yangtze River.’

If we get over this crisis, Gangbuk will be there. This is the peaceful land where no one attacks you even if you lie down with your feet stretched out.

There may be an inferno waiting ahead that is greater than anything we have experienced so far, but there is no way to reach Gangbuk without going through it anyway.

“Green Forest King!”

“Yes, Assistant Manager Jangmun.”

“How long is it until Nanjing?”

“If you run at full speed…”

Lim So-byeong glanced up at the sky. After briefly checking the dark sky, he answered in a calm voice.

“It’s only one day at best.”

“One day…”

Baekcheon’s complexion darkened slightly.

‘Then our fate will be decided within one day.’

With the Yangtze River in front of you, there is no option to look for an opportunity to cross the river. You have to decide the moment you arrive at the river. Will I cross the river or die fighting?

‘And there is no latter.’

It must be made that way.

“Just take care of the guys over there and then change direction!”

“Really? “I heard there’s only about a day left?”

“The problem is behind, not in front! “Aren’t there people chasing you?”

“Ah…”

Jo Geol quickly nodded. The people they really need to be wary of now are not the clumsy Safa bastards who block their way. It’s a nickname that follows you around with lights in your eyes.

“They know we are going to the Yangtze River, but they don’t know that we are going to Nanjing. “There’s no need to tell them the exact direction.”

“All right!”

“This small cooperative!”

“Yes, Deputy Jangmun!”

“Please pass this on to Jang Mun-in as well! And be sure to leave a clear mark so the directions don’t get mixed up!”

“Do not worry. “I will check it myself.”

Baekcheon nodded.

Thanks to Geumyangbaek, the chieftain of Haenam, leading the elders and moving separately, I was able to breathe easier. Defense is inherently easier the narrower the area to block. Just dividing the party into two came with an enormous advantage.

‘He’s a great guy.’

Geumyangbaek does not have the same strong leadership ability as the elders of other sects. But he has a firm trust that others do not have.

It is never an easy choice to leave the command of your students to someone else and form a separate unit and move in the middle of enemy territory.

However, Geumyangbaek took on that role. To save at least one more disciple and send him to Gangbuk.

“I can’t lose either.”

“yes?”

Instead of answering, Baekcheon grabbed his sword and looked straight ahead.

“Goes! “Follow me, ready to die!”

“yes!”

Leading the elite of Cheonwoomaeng, he rushes forward.

The will to survive, the hope to achieve, and the passion to overcome. It all mixed together and heated up.

However, even in such an uplifting atmosphere, one person’s gaze was just cold and cold.

‘One day…’

Cheongmyeong, who was watching the entire situation from behind, glanced back.

day. If it’s short, it’s short, but if it’s long, it’s too long. Especially if you have to send it behind enemy lines.

Cheongmyeong’s eyes, who knew that harshness better than anyone else, were dark.
