Return of the Blossoming Blade Chapter 760

Episode 760 If you die, you’re dead! (5)

Arrows pour down like rain.

It was not just exaggeration or rhetoric; arrows literally rained down.

“Walk!”

“Hey you crazy guy!”

“Heeeeeeeek!”

Jo Geol flinched while trying to lift the sword.

No matter how I looked at it, it didn’t seem like I could stop all those vicious arrows with a sword.

“Jump off, man! “Into the water!”

“ah!”

Without delay, Jogeol jumped into the river.

Pungdeoeoung!

The jogger jumped into the river water, creating a large splash, and desperately swam down again and again.

Jo Geol instinctively turned his head and saw arrows flying downward through the water.

Although its momentum was weakened, the sight of the arrow flying in, creating bubbling bubbles, was in some ways more threatening than when seen from outside the water.

‘Hi!’

Jogeol quickly moves his arms and legs to go down further.

‘Aaaah! help me!’

He increased his speed by flapping his arms and legs like a frog.

Luckily, it wasn’t too late as the arrows that had flown all the way to the back of his head lost their force and began to float above the water.

‘Wow… I thought it was falling.’

Jogeol’s mouth opens and white foam bubbles out.

Jo Geol, who was sighing in relief, turned his head in shock.

In the murky waters of the Yangtze River.

Unlike volcanic valleys, you can feel something moving in the cloudy water where visibility is almost impossible.

‘fish?’

no. It’s too big and too fast for that.

Jo Geol, who noticed something black rushing straight towards him, reflexively swung his sword.

“Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The enemy who was stabbing Jo Geol with a long amijah was cut by the plum sword that Jo Geol swung and convulsed.

The red blood that flowed from the enemy’s chest spread like smoke in the pale river water.

‘Haha!’

Jo Geol cheerfully retrieved the sword.

‘thank you! ‘Elder!’

Hyeonyoung may not have predicted this situation in advance and trained her, but after practicing swinging a sword under the water of a volcanic valley, swinging a sword underwater has become natural to her.

As I move my gaze, I see a bluish shape in the distance.

The blue military uniforms the bandits were wearing were clearly evident.

‘No matter how strong the enemy is! I can’t lose anymore! ‘Come as many times as you like!’

Jo Geol grabbed the sword with a confident expression.

But…

‘Huh?’

Another shape appears behind the bluish shape.

‘two!’

That’s it!

‘three?’

It’s a little burdensome, but still, this much…

‘Four? five? six? heat? Twenty….’

Mom!

Bugurrrrr!

Air bubbles rose from Jogeol’s mouth and nose as she was frightened.

‘Why are there so many?’

Even though he learned how to swing a sword in the water, it is not easy to deal with such a large number of enemies alone, even outside the water.

But aren’t they experts at handcraft and stronger in the water than outside it?

Jo Geol sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to jump to the surface, but the speed of the swimmers was twice as fast as he had expected.

The enemies flew in, leaving bubbling bubbles like afterimages, and pierced Jogeol’s whole body with their harpoons.

Love love!

The blue harpoon flies in with an even more terrifying force.

Even in the water, the sound of the harpoon flying through the water could be clearly heard.

“Tsk!”

Jo Geol swung his sword reflexively.

Boom! Tooung!

The harpoon is pushed by the sword and bounces back. Geomcho as usual. However, since I was in the water, I had no choice but to go slightly slower than usual.

Suddenly!

Because of the slight difference in speed, one of the harpoons that could not be struck passed by Joe Geol’s shoulder.

Although it only barely grazed him, the powerful harpoon left a long gash on his shoulder.

‘Ahh! ‘Damn it!’

If it weren’t for Hyeonyoung’s training, the harpoon wouldn’t have grazed, but would have already created several holes.

However, despite the results of the training, dealing with enemies in the water was not easy.

‘Oh, you bastards! I am the volcano’s jogeol!’

Jogeol’s eyes lit up and he adjusted his grip on the sword.

“Huh!”

However, that resolve quickly disappeared like snow melting when a harpoon passed right next to his face.

‘The Lord dies.’

These guys are so skilled.

Aside from the attack, the movement speed is incomparable.

He was just a little fast, but these guys were like mermaids.

The movement in the water seemed to be faster than the movement outside the water.

Moreover, Jogeul’s sword is the fastest and most agile sword in the volcano.

This is the sword that deals the most damage when the speed slows down.

In other words, among Hwasan’s disciples, Jo Geol was the one who was most disadvantaged in fighting in the water.

It still is.

His sword, which should have burrowed into the enemy like a poisonous snake by creating about a dozen remnants, only created five remnants.

The flying speed is not even half of the usual speed.

‘Damn it!’

If I had known this would happen, I would have done my best during training and not tried to use tricks!

At that moment, the large bird-claw-shaped bird wielded by Sujeong attempted to scratch Jogeol’s face.

The moment Jo Geol desperately pulls back to avoid Jo, the enemy who has gone behind her back stabs Jo Geol in the back with a triumphant smile.

‘I can’t avoid this…’

Jogeol gritted her teeth and twisted her body.

The intention was to avoid critical points even if it meant risking physical injuries.

One then!

“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

Air bubbles bubbled up from the mouth of the enemy who was piercing the harpoon, and red blood spread like ink diluted in water.

‘huh?’

I saw a very happy face behind the pirate floating above the water, clutching his back.

“Sasuuuuu…. GURURU!”

Jogeol, who was screaming without even forgetting that she was in the water, gulped down a bucket of water that was pushing into her throat and grabbed her neck.

Baekcheon, who saw this, shook his head so that he could be seen clearly even in the water.

Then, it rushed forward at lightning speed and passed by Jo Geol.

‘Running?’

Jo Geol looked at Baek Cheon in surprise.

How skillful is the use of internal force to be able to move in this current as if standing on land?

Baekcheon passed by him and swung his sword sharply forward.

When the sword, loaded with strong internal power, cuts through the water, a large vortex is created that instantly sweeps away the fast-moving enemies.

“Tsk!”

“Ugh!”

The enemy seemed momentarily taken aback and was pushed back by the vortex. At the same time, Baekcheon grabbed Jogeol’s shoulders and leapt up.

“Puaaaaaat!”

Baekcheon rose to the surface at once, kicked out of the water, and jumped onto the merchant ship.

Teuong!

The jogger thrown on the deck was clutching the deck floor and gagging.

“Week! Wow! Oh… I thought I was going to die.”

Seeing this, Hwasan’s disciples all shook their heads.

“You’re coming back alive.”

“Sasuk is also very kind. “It wouldn’t be cool even if I killed him.”

“Wouldn’t that be good for the volcano?”

Jo Geol lifted his head.

“execution! It’s impossible to deal with those bastards in the water! “I threw myself into it and found out.”

“Okay… I guess you have to check to find out what even a three-year-old would know. “It’s so nice and like you.”

“….”

Yunjong sighed and looked ahead. The dragon boat, which had pierced their ship with a chain, was dragging the ship at high speed.

“Sasook. How do I do this?”

“Hmm…”

Baekcheon looked down from the bow.

The harpoon that had penetrated the bottom of the boat caught his eye clearly.

‘It would be impossible to choose.’

Even though he was unfamiliar with ships, he was able to learn about them.

If you pull out that harpoon, water will fill it. Then the ship will sink in an instant.

If I were to sink into the water covered in water like this, I would have to give up on living.

“I guess we have no choice but to watch first. “First of all, you can do anything only when your feet touch the ground.”

“…But the death penalty.”

Baeksang said with a concerned look on his face, as if that wasn’t a good idea.

“If we sink this ship now, they will have a much greater advantage. Nevertheless, isn’t the reason they’re dragging us because the place we’re going to now is more advantageous to them than here?”

“…I guess so.”

“It would be better to…”

Baeksang could not continue speaking.

That’s because he couldn’t think of any specific way to deal with it.

If they resist here, the ship will eventually sink and they will have to protect the civilians and fight against enemies in the water.

‘This is just as bad.’

There is no way.

Baekcheon must have been thinking the same thing as he looks back at the priests with a stern expression.

“I guess we have to come up with a solution. White shark! Soso!”

“yes!”

“We will provide cover. Get off the boat and go to the river right now. Go and inform the government and send reinforcements from around…”

“No!”

Tang Soso let out a loud noise.

“Sosoya.”

“If you die, you’re dead! “You can’t do that!”

Baekcheon narrowed his eyebrows.

“This is no time to call in reinforcements! “Are you trying to send us ahead because you’re afraid we might be in danger?”

“Soso. Reinforcements…”

“I will never do that! I was afraid that I would end up like this and that only the executioners would learn their own exploits. Once is easy! But if I step aside once, Sa-sook will try to pull me back from now on!”

“….”

“I don’t like it. I absolutely hate it! Reinforcements never arrive on time! “Then I can live alone and see the executioners die!”

“Soso….”

“In that case, it’s better to bite your tongue and die! You can go to Hwasan later and lock yourself in Maehwa-dong! “I will never listen to that order now.”

Baekcheon sighed deeply.

“I…”

“I will never disturb you.”

This time Baeksang spoke with a stern face.

“There is no disciple of Hwasan who leaves behind his companions. “It may be stupid and stupid, but being smart and rational is enough when it comes to calculating money.”

“….”

Baekcheon sighed deeply.

“You idiots.”

“We are naturally stupid.”

“Actually, there are no smart people in volcanoes. “If you were smart, you would have already run away.”

“….”

That’s correct.

“OK. i get it.”

Baekcheon nodded and turned around.

A dragon ship of unrivaled grandeur appears before his eyes.

‘I don’t know what’s right.’

Finding the best response is very difficult.

It’s easy to watch and point out things when someone is leading, but now that I’m in the position of leading, there are so many things I have to think about.

‘Are you saying he’s been doing this on a daily basis?’

Perhaps martial arts is not the only thing that needs to be learned from Cheongmyeong.

If Cheongmyeong’s lantern was in front of them now, the expressions on the faces of the priests behind him would definitely have been different.

‘He’s not here. I have to do it.’

Baekcheon bit his lip.

No matter what the situation, you must save them and return to the volcano.

It was the exact moment when Baekcheon made a firm promise.

“Sasuk! Over there!”

“hmm?”

“I think it’s there!”

When Baekcheon followed Yunjong’s gesture and turned his gaze, he saw steep cliffs lined up next to the river.

A fortress of heavenly beauty.

The terrain in the middle of it was concave and caved in, which was a perfect fit for that term.

“…a place like this.”

Baekcheon gritted his teeth.

This place was literally a fortress made in heaven.

Behind us was a towering cliff, and in front of us was an extremely wide river.

It was impossible to move to the left or right because of the cliffs, so the only way to get there was to cross the river or come down the cliff.

And within the hollow space, you can see buildings where people can live and a dock where ships can dock.

“…It’s a watercolor.”

After seeing it with my own eyes, I realized why the enemy had brought them here.

That place is a big poison.

A poison that cannot escape.

And now they were like rats in the poison.

Baekcheon clenched his fists without realizing it.

perhaps.

He didn’t even know that he was now facing the worst situation he had ever experienced.
