Episode 764. Sasuk! I keep hearing hallucinations! (4)
“What is this!”
“Avoid!”
A garden of red plum blossoms unfolds before your eyes. The flower, which had bloomed so cheerfully, quickly bloomed splendidly and spread out in all directions as if blown by the blowing wind.
The enemy was frightened by the unbelievable sight and hurriedly retreated.
However, the speed of the boat moving forward was faster than the speed of retreating. While he was doing that, the flower petals that flew in began to sharply sweep away the enemies.
“Aaaahhh!”
Some of the enemies pierced by the plum blossom sword energy completely collapsed.
“What kind of sword technique…”
I had already seen it once, but this time it was different.
The plum blossoms that Hwasan’s disciples poured out in one fell swoop were more like an angry tsunami than a sword technique.
Even that wasn’t the end.
“Tsk!”
Cheongmyeong jumped into the air, turned his body around, kicked the air hard, and flew towards the enemies like a fired cannonball.
“Urachaaaa!”
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
And as soon as he got down, he stretched out his foot and struck the enemy in front of him in the solar plexus.
The body of the hit enemy spun around, hitting the enemies behind him and flying away.
“this person!”
It was truly a jaw-dropping sight. However, instead of getting scared and running away, the enemies rushed at Cheongmyeong, pointing their harpoons and swinging their spears at Cheongmyeong.
This is because it was more realistic to attack those whose true identity was clearly revealed in front of them rather than deal with those who had no idea where or how to attack due to the plum blossom sword energy.
“die!”
“Turn it into skewers!”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes glowed eerily when he saw the flying military weapons.
Kagang!
The weapons that flew in as if they were going to blow a hole in Cheongmyeong’s body at any moment collided with each other in the air with a sharp clanging sound and became entangled.
‘no?’
‘Where…’
It was that very moment.
“Aaaahhh!”
One by one, those who had attacked fell to the ground, letting out miserable screams. They were all holding on to their feet. The back of the ankle was cut deeply and red blood was gushing out.
Papa papap!
“What the hell!”
“It’s below!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The incoming enemies began to fall like rice cut down with a sickle. Cheongmyeong lowered his posture and advanced like a low-flying swallow, cutting off the ankles of the enemies.
Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!
The bandits, who had the back of their ankles cut off, fell down, screaming horribly like animals.
“Moo, step back!”
“Damn it! “Don’t back down and stab me, you idiots!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The enemies trying to run away and the enemies trying to rush into each other became entangled, and chaos quickly unfolded. And above their heads, the plum blossom sword flying by the disciples of Hwasan rose like a cloud and began to pour down.
“Tsk!”
Cheongmyeong kicked forward as if pushing the floor.
The enemies at the front all lost their minds and hurriedly tried to escape, but there was no way they could escape through the chaos.
Crash!
Cheongmyeong soared upward, stepping on the enemy’s knees, stomach, and shoulders one after another.
Quang!
The moment the last foot landed on the face, the trampled enemy collapsed without even screaming, and Cheongmyeong spun around and soared sky-high.
“Taaaaap!”
The dark sword stirred the air. At the end of it, red plum blossoms bloomed.
Plum blossoms, vivid enough to be incomparable to anything I had ever seen, bloomed like a dream and poured over the heads of the bandits.
Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!
The petals cut down the bodies of the bandits without mercy. Even though it was a cruel scene with blood and screams everywhere, it was extremely beautiful. Everyone watching shuddered at the eerieness that came from that sense of disparity.
“A monster…”
“Where did that guy come from…”
Tak.
At that time, Cheongmyeong landed on the floor and tilted his head to the left and right.
“I think I’m slowly feeling better.”
“….”
“Now….”
Cheongmyeong laughed, twisting the corners of his mouth strangely.
“Let’s continue.”
And once again, it charged like a flash attack.
“Oooooh!”
Hwasan’s disciples, led by Hyeyeon, followed in the form of evil spirits.
Paaaaat!
The movement of the sword is truly lively.
Although his fingertips were numb due to the poison seeping into his body, the sword was not disturbed at all.
Suddenly!
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm…”
The scar that had been pierced through the chest collapsed on the spot, spewing blood bubbles. Baekcheon recovered the sword, shook off the blood, and straightened his back.
Up ahead, Cheongmyeong was surrounded by enemies.
No, in fact, it is an ambiguous sight to describe as being surrounded. Just because a tiger is surrounded by rabbits doesn’t mean it is surrounded by rabbits.
“These bastards are killing people so mercilessly!”
Cheongmyeong was even literally destroying the enemy with his eyes glazed over.
‘Damn you!’
Baekcheon quietly bit his lip.
That scene was so natural that I did not normally realize its importance. However, after leading the disciples without Cheongmyeong and fighting in front of them, I was painfully aware of it. What an amazing sight that is.
The place where Qingming fights is always where the enemy focuses the most attention and where the pulse of the battlefield flows. He always draws all attention to the most dangerous places and deflects enemy attacks. Just the mere presence of Cheongmyeong over there reduces the attacks on those following him by half.
Perfect calculation? Or an innate sense?
That’s unknown. It is not something that Baekcheon could have guessed. The only thing that was certain was that he was always fighting in the most dangerous places.
After learning that fact, my face suddenly heated up.
‘As long as you keep your mouth open.’
This is what Baekcheon used to say to Cheongmyeong. But not now. These words that Baekcheon was saying to himself were what he was saying to himself.
‘I…’
“Where are you thinking? “Aren’t you concentrating?”
“….”
At that time, Baekcheon quickly shook his head to throw away distracting thoughts as a ghostly sound pierced his ears.
“Come on, you bastard!”
Gritting his teeth, Baekcheon grasped his sword tightly again and rushed towards the enemy.
“Chaeju!”
“Hmm.”
The black fish’s eyes began to tremble slightly.
‘What? ‘Who is that guy?’
The atmosphere of the battlefield has changed. It’s not just a feeling of strength given by the addition of one person.
To put it bluntly, the battlefield is like a stirring dragon. The battlefield is a place that changes and twists even in an instant. But from the moment that guy appears, the flow of the battlefield is unilaterally pulled in that direction.
‘Those guys’ movements have also changed.’
no. To begin with, those volcano disciples were by no means weak.
Can’t you guess his skill just by looking at the way he cut off the ink-iron net that was specially made to subdue the sect’s masters who sometimes come for watercolors?
To begin with, a place called Suchae is always exposed to attack.
Unlike bandits, who can gauge whether or not to block the path by observing the enemy, they have no way of knowing who is on board until they board the ship.
Therefore, problems sometimes arise with the masters who travel to and from the Yangtze River, and whenever that happens, they suffer enormous damage. The ink iron net they used a little while ago is the item used to subdue such experts.
How much money did it cost to make the net?
However, cast iron nets are something worth investing a lot of money in. It is ten times heavier and harder than regular iron, so even sword demons who treat their swords like ghosts cannot easily cut them. The cost of making it was more than recovered from the lives of the masters who were skewered to death under that net.
However, since they are birds that cut off such nets, they cannot be called birds in the first place. I have no choice but to admit that it is strong.
However, no matter how powerful one is, experience is not something that can be easily achieved. The less experienced you are, the more opportunities you will have to stumble upon. For example, didn’t this side’s overwhelming victory seem so natural just a moment ago?
But everything changed when that damn guy showed up.
“Damn it…”
The black fish gritted its teeth.
The Yangtze River Gorge is truly a scary place. In areas where the water narrows, the water channels collide with each other, creating vortices and the currents become entangled. Unless you’re a big ship, you wouldn’t even dare to enter.
Yes, like a battlefield burning at every moment.
However, people living on the Yangtze River see it occasionally. The sight of old boatmen who have lived along the Yangtze River their entire lives escaping like ghosts through the turbulent eddies and rapids in small rowboats that look as if they could sink at any moment.
That cannot be understood through logic. It was a realm of sensation that only those who had seen waterways their entire lives could grasp with their fingertips.
But now, I can see the fingertips of that young guy moving around the battlefield.
‘Does this make any sense?’
genius? That’s not even funny. This is not something that can be done with just genius.
That’s…
“Chaeju!”
The black fish that was lost in thought came to its senses only when a voice called out to it.
“Ugh…”
And then he distorted his face and chewed his lip. Now is not the time to leisurely think about this.
“What are you doing, you useless bastards? Deal with that guy right now! right now!”
“yes!”
Those who were fully prepared and waiting behind the Zanpo Black Fish all jumped toward Cheongmyeong.
“hmm?”
Cheongmyeong caught this and slightly turned his gaze.
“Noooooom!”
A dark harpoon carrying bright blue game was flying at terrifying speed.
A force that seems to pierce not only a human body but even a chunk of rock.
It was a blow that proved that this was not just a place where ordinary enemies gathered, but the eighteen water halls of the Yangtze River, one of the Five Hsinchu clans that ruled the world.
Love it!
The sound of the wind cutting was harsh. For a moment, Cheongmyeong’s eyes darkened.
Faaah!
Soon, the black sword was extended at the same speed as a flash sword.
Good!
And soon, it was attached to the side of the harpoon that flew in with terrifying force. At the same time, Cheongmyeong jumped back and gently twisted his sword.
Tooung!
At that moment, the harpoon’s trajectory shifted subtly to the side. The powerful harpoon narrowly grazed Cheongmyeong’s side and tore the hem of his clothes.
A red line appeared on Cheongmyeong’s side, revealed through torn clothes. However, the person who actually wielded the harpoon could never be happy about that fact.
This was because Cheongmyeong, who had suddenly approached from a place closer than an extended harpoon, was smiling eerily.
Suddenly! Suddenly!
In an instant, my wrist was cut, blood spurted out, and all the muscles inside my elbow were torn.
“Kaaaaaaak!”
The enemy let out a terrible scream in unbearable pain and desperately rushed towards the rear.
But unfortunately, the person he was dealing with had no way of letting the retreating enemy go.
Paaaaat!
Cheongmyeong’s sword, which rushed after the retreating enemy, curved like a poisonous snake. The enemy’s knee is cut cleanly.
“Ugh…”
The victim, whose ligaments were completely cut, screamed and rolled on the floor.
“Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc
. Jeez.
As Cheongmyeong, with his sword hanging down, slowly approached, the enemy’s eyes were filled with despair.
The enemy’s eyes, stained with fear, and the eyes of Cheongmyeong, devoid of any emotion, met in the air.
“Save me…”
Lose me!
As if the words of his plea were meaningless, the sword of Cheongmyeong cut off the head of the fallen enemy without the slightest hesitation.
The body maintained its original posture until the head, which rose into the air, fell to the floor and rolled over, but after a while, it fell sideways, spurting out red blood.
Sigh!
After shaking off the blood, Cheongmyeong looked around at the enemies surrounding him.
“This guy…”
The moment the enemy was about to say something, Cheongmyeong’s foot kicked the ground again.
A bizarre smile appeared on the corner of Cheongmyeong’s mouth, as if conversation was not necessary in battle. Soon, plum blossom sword energy poured out from his sword that rose forward.
