‘Faster!’
Chung Myung’s foot slammed into the ground with force.
Kwaang!
His body shot through the ground as if in a flash at the same time the ground exploded.
“Huuk! Huuk!”
Baek Chun and Hong Dae-gwang clenched their teeth after him.
Chung Myung would normally have kept pace with them, but now he couldn’t afford to. Even now, someone might be collapsing on Mount Hua and shedding blood.
‘No!’
Chung Myung unknowingly bit his lower lip. Eventually, the blood dripping from his ripped lips fluttered across his face.
He’s had more than enough of it.
Even if he dies, he will never be able to see that scene again.
How was he supposed to deal with that deep sense of helplessness and the burning pain of the soul again?
‘I was complacent.’
The world never flows as Chung Myung expects.
If he had the power to put the world in the palm of his hand like that, his Sahyung wouldn’t have died on that damn peak of Hundred Thousand Mountain.
He knew that.
Crunch.
A muscle line sprang out of his jaw.
“Chung Myung-ah!”
Chung Myung’s head turned sharply at the sound of a call from behind.
‘I can’t slow down any more than….’
“Don’t worry about us, run more!”
“….”
Baek Chun shouted loudly with a white face.
“Even if I die, I will follow you. You don’t have to match us!”
“….”
Chung Myung nodded slightly and turned his eyes forward again. His clenched fists tightened even more.
“I’m going faster!”
“Got it!”
Chung Myung’s speed up even more. At the same time, the group squeezed out all the strength they had and followed him closely.
Running at full speed, Yoo Iseol’s gaze did not fall on Chung Myung’s back.
She could feel it just by looking at him like this.
How angry he is now. And how urgent he is.
But….
It is not just that.
‘It’s like a crying child.’
Yoo Iseol, who stared at his back without saying a word, bit her lips.
‘It’s not time to think about anything else.’
Mount Hua is in danger. She didn’t want to imagine the death of her Sahyung or Sect Leader.
Other Sahyung cases desperately kicked the ground as Yoo Iseol increased his speed.
“Hurry up!”
Mount Hua, surrounded by clouds, gradually came closer as if it could be grasped.
* * *
Kwang!
The gate made of solid wood was smashed and the fragments flew in all directions.
Kung!
Quick Spear Life Reaper Son Wol took a step through the hazy dust. Walking into Mount Hua’s gate, he quietly glanced around.
“…What is it? Is that it?”
Then he slightly distorted his face.
In front of the wide training field, there was a line of Mount Hua’s disciples. However, no matter how many times he counted, there were only a few hundred people.
Isn’t it the point where they’re heavily outnumbered?
“I can’t believe they are sending us to catch some of these little fish. Did Advisor get dementia now?”
“Watch your mouth.”
Step. Step.
Do Kyulso walked in slowly behind him.
“Don’t look down on them. If you don’t want to be in the same shape as Red Serpent Sword.”
“How dare you bring up that moron?”
“One in a million.”
Do Kyulso twisted his lips and looked at Mount Hua’s disciples.
“If that happens, you won’t die beautifully either. You’ll have to take Bangju-nim’s wrath with your whole body.”
“… sounds terrible.”
It’s not wrong.”
Yado trudged into the gate with a smile on his face. He was followed by the armed forces of Myriad Man House.
“We can’t help but let our guard down every time, but isn’t there a special situation? Bangju-nim seems to be angry, so I’ll do my best even when I catch a rabbit.”
Quick Spear Life Reaper glared at Yado and Did Kyulso with a look of disapproval.
“You speak well.”
Although it was outright hostility, the two people who were the target did not pay much attention to it.
“More than that… there seems to be a big shot coming out there.”
Step.
Mount Hua’s Sect Leader, Hyun Jong, walked slowly in front of Mount Hua’s disciples. Then he opened his mouth with a heavy smile.
“You people are ignorant of manners. If you broke into someone else’s door, you should apologize first.”
Quick Spear Life Reaper slowly twisted his head and glared at Hyun Jong. The lit up eyes are headed to Hyun Jong.
“Is this old man the Sect Leader of Mount Hua?”
“That’s right. This one is called Hyun Jong.”
“Keuh, it’s an honor to meet Mount Hua’s last Sect Leader, isn’t it?”
Hyun Jong’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
“You people are really the ones who didn’t learn manners.”
Quick Spear Life Reaper raised his finger and scratched his forehead.
“Put your sermons in moderation. I don’t like listening to sermons in the first place, and…”
Then he tapped the spear around his waist.
“I don’t have a hobby of being preached by an old man who’s about to die.”
Much more blatant disrespect than before began to stab Hyun Jong. However, Hyun Jong’s expression did not change at all while receiving the murder threat head-on.
“Hooh? Are you pretty strong-willed? For a leader of a sect that’s about to fall down.”
“Getting old…”
“Huh?”
Hyun Jong said calmly.
“It’s about going through a lot. So that there is no surprise about small and trivial things.”
“……you old man…!”
Just as Quick Spear Life Reaper was about to have a seizure, Yado took several steps forward.
“That’s a good thing to say.”
Then he smiled and faced Hyun Jong.
“But that’s what you’ll have to say after surviving today, right? It’s ridiculous to talk about it because you’ll experience decapitation.”
Hyun Jong stared at him quietly.
There was an evident glow around the slightly wrinkled eyes.
Slightly suppressed by his calm and heavy spirit, Yado unconsciously grasped his dao and hardened his face.
“We’re erasing Mount Hua today under the orders of Jang Ilso, the Peaegun of Myriad Man House. Regret and regret it again for you die to dare touch people of Myriad Man House.”
“Myriad Man House?”
Seururuk.
Hyun Jong’s sword slowly came out.
The figure of Hyun Jong, who slowly stretched his sword in one hand, was as solid as an old pine tree that grew on the top of the mountain.
“Where do you think this is?”
“….”
Hyun Jong’s voice slowly spread.
“This is Mount Hua. It is not a place where Myriad Man House should dare to lift their necks. It is a place where our ancestors who have kept Justice throughout the world are brimming. This is not a place where a group of Evil Sect could put their dirty feed here.”
Soon Hyun Jong’s sword slowly pointed at Yado.
“If you put down your weapons and step down, I will show you mercy. But if you want to fight to the end, don’t blame my sword for a heartless blow.”
Yado’s eyes dimmed.
“…I wish I had the same eloquence.”
The twisted mouth was smeared with anger.
“Get out of my way!”
But then, Quick Spear Life Reaper pushed Yado and stepped forward.
Paat.
Two short spears (Danchang/단창 ) hanging from Quick Spear Life Reaper were lifted in his hands with a short pounding sound.
“Don’t worry, old man. I won’t kill you. Watch each and every one of your disciples dies. You’ll be the last one to have a hole in your neck.”
“No one dies until I die.”
“Hahaha!”
The eyes of Quick Spear Life Reaper were glistening with energy.
“Kill them all!”
“Ooooo!”
Quick Spear Life Reaper’s people, who were waiting at the back, raged loudly at Mount Hua’s disciples.
“Un Am! Un Gum!”
“Yes!”
Un Am and Un Gum welcomed the warriors of Myriad Man House who rushed with the disciples.
“Hyun Sang!”
“Yes! Sect Leader!”
“Don’t let them go wild!”
“Yes!”
Hyun Sang pulled out the sword without delay and rushed forward.
At the same time, Hyun Jong’s eyes sank.
His eyes were on Yado, staring at him.
‘We have to stop him.’
In the end, the role of an absolute master is half that of a battle in Kangho. Mount Hua has no chance if they let those three strong masters go wild.
But….
Can he do it?
With this old body.
When did he put the sword on the pretext of leading Mount Hua?
Step.
His heart was filled with excitement. The fingertips were cold and his legs were shaking slightly.
Right.
Scared.
He’s so afraid. But….
“You must know that you can’t be my opponent. You’re doing well. With those trembling legs.”
Hyun Jong replied with a stiff face at Yado’s words.
“Sometimes.”
“… hmm?”
“There are times you must act even when you are afraid.”
“….”
“Come, evil enemy of Myriad Man House. I will engrave on you what Mount Hua’s sword is like.”
Yado twisted his face and laughed.
“Let’s take a look at the magnificent Mount Hua sword.”
His body jumped at Hyun Jong like a beam of light.
Swaeaeak!
Kaang!
He managed to stop the flying dao with his sword. However, the weight and strength of the dao seemed to break the thin blade at any moment.
‘S- Strong.’
The face of the third-class disciple, Chung Hwa (청화(靑和)), was distorted.
They only exchanged blows once, but he could feel the opponent’s strength. If the reaction had been a little slow, he would have already collapsed with blood.
He somehow blocked it, but it wasn’t a good situation either.
Geugeugeuk!
The opponent swung his dao down by force. Chung Hwa’s wrists were twisted and his legs staggered.
“Huhu, you little bastards.”
He could see the opponent’s face behind both swords met. When he saw that face that was spewing out violent momentum, he realized that he was really fighting for his life.
It was dark before his eyes.
Can he do it?
Can he?
He is neither Chung Myung nor Baek Chun, can he fight the warriors of Myriad Man House, one of those Great Five Evil Sect?
‘Whe- When are you coming?’
Chung Myung? And Baek Chun?
Can he hold on?
Until they arrive?
“Huhuhuhu! How dare you blasphemy!”
Kung!
Intense energy surged in from the point of contact of both swords. The shock of a momentary concussion suddenly bent Chung Hwa’s legs.
“Are you thinking of something else with this old man in front of you? Die!”
A strong attack fell on his head that had been pushed back.
‘Ah…’
Chung Hwa, who predicted his death, opened his eyes wide.
That’s unstoppable…….
Kwaang!
But then, a loud binge burst, and the dao, which was flying into Chung Hwa’s head, bounced off at a rapid pace.
Chung Hwa, who didn’t understand the sudden change in the situation, opened his mouth blankly.
Someone grabbed him by the arm.
“Get up.”
“Instructor-nim!”
Before he knew it, Un Gum, who was approaching, raised him up and slowly moved forward without even glancing at him.
“Do not doubt.”
“….”
“You, too, are Mount Hua swordsmen who overcame the hard training. Don’t doubt yourself. And don’t lean on someone!”
Un Gum’s voice rang loudly.
“How long are you going to look at them from the back? How long are you going to wait for them to lead you? Believe in what you’ve done, believe in your skills! And!”
Un Gum swung his sword and walked out.
“We should give those who came back a hell of a smile. Don’t you think so?”
There was no time to answer.
Un Gum went forward and cut down the warriors of Myriad Man House who rushed in.
It is fast, accurate, and also serious.
His sword, which is like a textbook of Mount Hua Swordsmanship (검학(劍學)), ravaged the enemy.
“I- Instructor-nim!”
“Don’t back off!”
Pushing the enemies away with all his might, Un Gum roared.
“If you can’t do it alone, protect each other’s backs! If you can’t knock it down, start with holding up! That’s enough!”
Chung Hwa’s hand, grabbing the sword, gained strength.
‘Me, too!’
He clenched his lips and stood firm on his two legs.
‘Mount Hua’s Swordsmen.’
Even if he can’t defeat the enemy, he can’t show an unseemly appearance!
Paaat!
Un Gum’s sword stabbed and cut the enemy without hesitation.
In front of his sword, which took ten enemies in a blink of an eye, those who rushed were forced to falter.
“Argh!”
“Da- Damn it! He’s fast!”
Un Gum’s sword pierced the man’s shoulder and sprinkled his blood.
Sogok.
When the enemy stepped back, Un Gum, which had been neatly cut down to his thigh, lowered his posture and stabbed the sword again.
In terms of swords, Un Gum was one of the top three in the Mount Hua Sect. There was no contender in the same generation.
In total, Hyun Sang, the Martial Hall Elder, is better than him.
Un Gum knew that fact better than anyone.
‘I have to do it.’
These here are inexperienced people.
Aside from their skills, they have never experienced a real battle. When such children are swept away by the atmosphere, they fail to show half of their skills and collapse.
So he had to do it unconditionally.
If he defeats the enemies in the lead, the children watching from behind will be able to face the enemy with hundredfold courage.
“Stay calm! Keep your head cold!”
It was when Un Gum was about to cut off the enemy in front of him and shout.
Kwaaa!
With the sound of something rotating loudly, a tremendous amount of energy flew toward the Un Gum.
“Ugh!”
Un Gum turned over his body without turning his head.
Kwaaa!
The hem of his shoulder was torn off, and the skin on his face split long, gushing out fresh blood.
Tak.
When he fell to the ground, Un Gum turned his head with a nervous face.
“Hey, there’s someone in Mount Hua who can fight properly, huh?”
Quick Spear Life Reaper.
Holding a short spear in both hands, he shook his head and approached Un Gum.
“If I kill you, it’ll be easy.”
“That’s what I’m going to say.”
“Hahahah, the Taoist had quite a big mouth.”
Quick Spear Life Reaper’s eyes were bloodshot.
“I’ll put a spear in that mouth!”
The short spear, which had been spinning fiercely in his hand, was shot at Un Gum’s chest in an instant.
We need more chapters mannn!!🥲
