Episode 886 We’ll see you again soon. (1)
Galcheonrip slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.
More than half of the sword with a faint white color was stuck in it. The tip of this sword is probably sticking out through his back.
Despair, fear, frustration, anger, etc.
Numerous emotions instantly swirled in his eyes. However, if I had to choose the most important feeling among the many emotions, it would definitely be surprise.
“You…”
His mouth opened with difficulty.
However, I could not continue speaking properly due to my trembling chin. In the end, red blood leaked out before words.
“You…”
The blood flowing back clogged Galcheonrip’s throat.
Ungeom was trying to twist the sword, but he let go and faced Galcheonrip.
“At one time.”
“….”
“You might have had the chance to achieve what you wanted.”
Galcheonrip somehow looked at Ungeom with blurry eyes.
“If only I hadn’t become satisfied with that small achievement.”
“….”
Ungeom, who was about to say more, quickly shook his head.
What he originally wanted to say was, ‘I’m not that great of a person, but shouldn’t a warrior not stop moving forward until the moment he dies?’
But these words have no meaning to me. Galcheonrip is not someone who deserves to be treated like a warrior.
“Whether it is good or evil, death is fair. “If there is an afterlife, atone for it and live.”
However, he did not forget his duty as a Taoist until the end.
Galcheonrip hesitated and stepped back.
It is not because of the force of Ungum. He was so close to death that it was difficult to even stand still.
“I… am…”
The blood rising steadily covered his mouth. The world did not give him what he wanted until the end.
His head turned sideways with difficulty.
Not only the disciples of Hwasan who surrounded him, but even the Safa people he had led were all watching his death with cold eyes. There wasn’t even the slightest warmth.
“Hehe….”
Galcheonrip’s body slowly collapsed.
“Like a dog…”
He shakes it off.
In the end, Ungeom’s sword dug deeper into Galcheonrip’s chest, which slumped forward. And that was enough to break the string that was barely attached.
Galcheonrip’s dead body, unable to close his eyes, began to slowly cool down.
Only then did a deep sigh escape Ungeom’s mouth.
It was a strong opponent. If I hadn’t been so rusty that I couldn’t even use what I had properly, it would have definitely been an uphill battle.
But he is the one who won.
“Governor!”
“Private dormitory.”
Suddenly, people came around to check whether Ungeom was injured. Although it was a short battle, it was a tough battle that even those watching were nervous.
“I am OK.”
Ungeom was just nodding his head to them.
Jerk. Jerk.
One person slowly walked forward.
The Safaans all held their breath in his presence, as if they had forgotten to breathe.
Jerk. Jerk.
He approached at a not very fast pace, flipped Galcheonrip over with his toes, and pulled out Ungeom’s sword that was stuck in his chest.
Ssyuk.
The eerie sound of a sword being pulled out penetrated everyone’s ears.
Sigh!
After shaking off the blood from his sword, Cheongmyeong turned his head and looked around at the Safaers who had very nervous faces.
I flinch.
Those who saw Cheongmyeong’s eyes were visibly shaken.
“Shall we continue?”
There will be many words in the world.
But could there be anything more appropriate to say at this moment to break their fighting spirit?
After the battle stopped for a moment and the blood boiling in my head cooled, I could see the surrounding situation clearly.
Gal Cheon-rip died with his eyes wide open. And in the back, there are the Danhon Blood Beasts and other masters who are cooling off with their heads missing, but even if they are not dead, those who are defeated and groaning…. And even the swordsmen of the volcano who are
still glaring at them with a cold spirit. .
The situation is very clear.
chin.
The sound of a weapon falling out of someone’s grasp and hitting the ground resonated clearly in the quiet manor.
Ripples in a quiet lake are bound to spread further and larger. That small sound completely cut off any remaining will to fight.
Weapons fell one after another from the hands of the Safaans.
These are people who took up arms without any major purpose in the first place. There was no one left to lead and shout, so there was no reason left to risk their lives and fight.
“Such idiotic things.”
Cheongmyeong glared at them with a cold gaze, as if they were disdainful. In my heart, I wanted to cut off everyone’s heads, regardless of whether they resisted or not.
When he has power, he gets excited and goes wild, but when he feels like he is at a disadvantage, he becomes servile and begs for his life. These are the people that Qingming despises the most.
The moment he tightly grasped the sword in his hand, someone lightly tapped his shoulder.
When I turned around, I saw Ungeom quietly shaking his head.
“You lost too much blood.”
“…I know.”
He clicked his tongue lightly and politely handed the sword in his hand to Ungeom.
The leaden sword cast its gaze at the person approaching.
“Disciples, listen!”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
Hyeonjong opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
“Abolish the martial arts of criminals, suppress them all and imprison them. “Their disposition will be decided later.”
“yes!”
“Move the wounded to the hospital. “There may be other enemies nearby, so look around and prevent any damage to the civilians!”
“Yes, Jang Mun-in!”
As soon as Hyeonjong finished speaking, Hwasan’s disciples started moving in unison.
The Safa people who threw away their weapons and knelt down became thoughtful at the words that martial arts were being abolished. However, remembering the images of those people swinging their swords with murderous faces, I did not dare to rebel.
“Ugh!”
“Ahhhh!”
A terrible feeling of your dantian being shattered and your internal force dissipating.
However, I didn’t even have time to groan due to the terrible feeling of helplessness where all the strength of my whole body was drained away. Cruel hands pinned them to the floor and tied their entire bodies with rope brought from somewhere.
Hong Dae-gwang, who was watching the scene, collapsed completely, as if his legs had lost strength.
As I watched the swordsmen of Hwasan subduing the remaining Safa people and King Hyeonjong with his back, I was so helpless that I burst out laughing.
“…huh heh. It’s as simple as this…”
Everything went smoothly, from the volcano’s appearance to the beheading of Danhonhyeolsu and Galcheonrip.
‘Does this make sense?’
Hong Dae-kwang knows the true value of volcanoes better than anyone else. He was the one who recognized the value of Hwasan, which had no reputation or skills or anything else, and came here, refusing the position of head of the Luoyang branch.
But the scene that unfolded before his eyes today was absurd even for him to see.
Those terrible madhus who were so infamous in Gangnam.
Those people fell like third-rate paratroopers. Not in the hands of Shaolin, a shaman, or Jongnam, but in the hands of Hwasan.
You’ve become stronger… It may be surprising, but it can happen. Until now, Hwasan has always easily surpassed Hong Dae-gwang’s expectations. But the reason he is perplexed now is not simply because the volcano has become stronger.
Hyeonjong, who was watching his disciples subdue him, turned around. And then he started walking towards Hong Dae-gwang.
gulp.
Looking at that scene, Hong Dae-gwang swallowed his saliva without even realizing it.
As I watched King Hyeonjong approaching with an unwavering gait, and the elders and swordsmen of the volcano who followed behind him as if they were guarding me, my body naturally cringed.
‘What’s different?’
In the past, Hong Dae-gwang would have greeted Hyeonjong with a smile. He might have joked that you came too late.
But now Hong Dae-gwang had forgotten the pain in his entire body and was correcting his posture. It’s like learning the long letters of Shaolin or a shaman.
If I had to express in crude language what I feel about King Hyeonjong right now… I would have to call it ‘class’.
Hyeonjong, standing in front of Hong Dae-gwang and the people of the Xi’an family who had gathered, slowly took them all into his eyes.
Although no aggressive force was felt, a strangely large presence pressed down on those who faced Hyeonjong.
“Long story…”
In the end, it was the moment when someone, who could not overcome the weight, urgently opened his mouth to express gratitude.
Hyeonjong bowed slowly but clearly. Very deeply.
“Come on, Jang Moon-in!”
“Why are you doing this!”
Those who saw this were frightened and shouted. Some people tried to immediately rush to help Hyeonjong, but they couldn’t bear to put their hands on him and stamped their feet, while others immediately trembled with their blood-stained faces.
A low voice came out from the mouth of Hyeonjong, who bowed his head.
“sorry.”
“….”
At that moment, everyone fell silent.
“The main text arrived too late, and the damage to various sects was too great. “I hope you can generously understand and forgive the volcano for not doing what it should have done.”
Someone bit their lip at the unexpected words.
“…Don’t do this, Jang Mun-in.”
Seowolmunju male name opened his mouth with a deep sigh.
“If the volcano hadn’t come, everyone here would have died.”
Nammyeong, who was trying to express his gratitude, bit his lip for a moment and clenched his fists. And said.
“Our Seowolmun is Jongnam’s family home. As it is, Jang Moon-in is the one who does not need to save us. But… you bow your head like this for us. “No one would have criticized me if Bongmunhan Hwasan didn’t come…”
The man’s words trailed off, and he quickly grabbed both hands and held them out. And he bowed deeply with genuine gratitude and respect.
“…I really appreciate the help of the volcano.”
“Thank you!”
“Thank you Jang Mun-in!”
The lords of the Xi’an Song family and the disciples of the Song family all came together and attacked. Even those who were physically weak from injuries did not take care of themselves and expressed their sincere gratitude.
Only then did Hyeonjong slowly straighten his lower back.
“I am just grateful that you consider us in need with a generous heart.”
At those words, emotions that were difficult to express flashed across the owners’ faces.
‘It’s over.’
Hong Dae-gwang realized at that moment.
Perhaps the lords of the Xi’an secular family… no, everyone who belongs to the Xi’an secular family will never forget this sight for the rest of their lives.
Sometimes, a single word captures a person’s heart more than great power. Like this.
‘Jang Moon-in has also changed from the past.’
Gentleness and tolerance. And a presence that overwhelms the surroundings. None of them lack the qualifications to be a long-time writer of the Daemun faction.
I realized once again that Hwasan had become a completely different sect from the past. After realizing this, Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes naturally wandered in search of another person.
The person who created all these changes.
“huh?”
At that time, Hong Dae-gwang’s eyes narrowed slightly.
‘what?’
Normally, Cheongmyeong would have been busy running here and there, or at least guarding Hyeonjong’s side, but he was standing in the center, looking into the distance.
“What are you looking at?”
Baekcheon also approached Cheongmyeong and asked if he had the same doubts as Hong Dae-gwang.
“What are you looking at?”
“joy.”
Cheongmyeong snorted slightly and twisted the corners of his mouth into a strange expression.
“I was looking at how big the little guys had grown.”
“…your babies are in front of you.”
“no. Not those kids. “A real kid.”
“huh?”
Baekcheon asked back without knowing why, but Cheongmyeong did not answer and turned away.
“Let’s sort it out. “Because I want to finish quickly and return to the volcano.”
“…Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since you’ve seen someone before, but you’re saying something I don’t understand.”
The corners of Cheongmyeong’s mouth were slightly raised, so Baekcheon tilted his head with a puzzled expression.
“It seems like you’re always one step late.”
“joy.”
There was a subtle sense of discomfort in the snoring sound.
“Isn’t it a pity?”
“What do you mean?”
“You haven’t been able to check how strong the Cheongmyeong dojo has become. Even your younger brother…”
“If you have time to talk nonsense, go back and swing your sword. “We haven’t unlocked the seal yet.”
“Yes, death penalty. “I will.”
The outskirts of Xi’an.
A group of warriors who had entered a path that was unnoticed by people turned around without hesitation and hastened their steps.
The person following behind stopped in place and looked back.
“I will see you again soon, Cheongmyeong Dojo.”
Lee Song-baek, with a bright smile, looked at Xi’an as if he was missing him, then turned again and hurried his steps. He was full of energy with every step he took.
