Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 761

“Wha- What should we do?”

“They say that all those who are dragged into pirate’s base become slaves.”

“Why did I ever get on this ship….”

It wasn’t just Mount Hua’s disciples who were confused.

No, rather, Mount Hua’s disciples, who knew how to use the sword, were somewhat better off. The civilian, who had no idea and were dragged to the pirate base, had no choice but to shiver in fright.
“Sasuk! Even now, with Monk Hye Yeon….”

“It’s impossible.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be difficult to attack and sink several ships. But the problem is that this ship is currently unable to sail.

Being stuck in the middle of the Yangtze River and waiting for the ship to sink would only result in slowly dying of thirst. Either that, or watching them sink the ship with their own eyes.

Whether to live or die, the only option left was to come here.

“Pull them!”

When the ship was anchored at the water’s edge, the chains tightened.

Ujijijik!

With the sound of the bottom of the ship breaking, the ship they were on was forcefully pulled.

When Mount Hua’s disciples approached the ship’s railing, they saw the pirates who had been waiting for them all jump out and surround the water’s edge.

The number was higher than they thought.

The reason they couldn’t subdue all the mountain bandits living in the mountains was that there were too many of them, and the reason they couldn’t kill all the pirates (Water Bandit) living in the water was also that there were too many of them…

“Huuu.”

Then, a slowly exhaled breath was heard from behind Baek Cheon.

Turning his head, he saw his Saje had already drawn their swords with the face of sword warriors.

“It ends up like this.”

“Well, it was a predetermined result anyway.”

“So, we just need to beat those bastards, right? Isn’t that right, Sasuk?”

Their bravado left Baek Cheon speechless for a moment.
Seeing that there were so many enemies, it was understandable to be scared, but his Sajes and Sajils didn’t seem to be afraid at all.

‘You idiots…..’

It was a situation enough for them to resent him.

It was Baek Cheon who tried to lure the pirates by boarding the ship to find out their target, and it was Baek Cheon who failed to instruct a quick escape when the pirates approached. And now, they had to fight a battle where they couldn’t guarantee their lives after being dragged here.

Nevertheless, no one seemed to resent him. Baek Cheon looked at them and spoke softly to Hye Yeon, who had been dragged here against his will.

“I’m sorry, Monk.”

Then Hye Yeon smiled and chanted Buddhist Mantra.

“Amitabha. I, a humble monk, don’t understand what Siju is saying.”

“….”

“Give the order, Siju. Though I’m a monk of Shaolin, I will live and die as Siju’s command.”

Baek Cheon bit his lower lip tightly.

It was heavy.

The weight, which he had just realized, weighed heavily on his shoulders. He understood the weight of taking responsibility and leading someone in his mind, but it was the first time he felt it so intensely.

‘I will not let a single person die.’

Seureureung.

As he drew his sword, a firm light flashed in Baek Cheon’s eyes.

“It’s the same thing we’ve been doing. There’s nothing to be flustered.”

“Yes!”

Baek Cheon’s gaze turned to the cliff.

It is too much for the civilian to climb that high cliff. But it would also be hard to swim across the river with their bare bodies. Therefore, the most feasible method would be to steal a fast ship from the pirate and run away with the commoners onboard…
‘It can’t be that easy.’

However.

“From the start, we never done anything easy in the first place! If the ship goes to the shore, we will get down and face the pirates!”
“Yes!”

“Even in the midst of fighting, keep an eye out to make sure no one gets on the ship. If even one person dies, it’s our defeat.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

They know it’s a difficult task. But now, they have to carry out that difficult task.

Baek Cheon shouted as he confirmed that the ship dragged by the chain had almost reached the shore.

“Let’s go!”

He and the disciples jumped onto the railing without a chance to answer. Like a bird aiming at its prey, they rotated their bodies and fell right into the middle of the river, which the pirates had occupied.

“Pierce them!”!”

“Turn them into a skewer!”

Long spears and Amiza stabbed Mount Hua’s disciples countless times. At that moment, Tang Soso spun around and scattered a small knife down.

“Eat this!”

Swaeaeaek!

The thin, cotton-like small knife fell above the pirates’ heads.

“Keuk!”

“Wha- What is this!”

The pirates turned their heads reflexively as the small knife poured into their faces.

And at that moment.
“Amitabha!”

With a brief Buddhist Chant, Hye Yeon’s internal strength erupted with an enormous momentum toward the pirates.

Kwaaaang!

The pirates were swept away like leaves in a typhoon. The disciples of Mount Hua gently landed in the neatly secured area. Baek Cheon ordered.

“Strike them!”

Mount Hua’s disciples, scattered all over the place, drew plum blossoms with their own swords without hesitation.

As if they would not waste the time Hye Yeon earned, the Plum Blossom Swordsmanship that they drew at once bloomed splendidly. And soon, the pirates surrounding the surroundings were swept away at once.

“Aaargh!”

“Wha- What is this!”

The sword aura of Mount Hua’s plum blossom has now become a feature that any Kangho person has heard at least once. But what they hear with their ears and what they see with their eyes is literally a world apart.

They heard it was like a flurry of petals, but who would have thought that something like petals would really be flying around? It was a bizarre sight no one could ever believe unless they saw it with their own eyes.
“What, what kind of sword energy…….”

A small, thin sword energy like a petal falls like a dance. It was impossible to block all of these petals no matter how much they wielded their weapons.

Not only that.

Sogok! Sogok!

These seemingly fragile sword energies were incredibly sharp. The light petals were like sharp razors, constantly cutting their bodies.

“Keuk!”

“Da- Damn it!”

The red plum blossoms in full bloom brightly colored the bottom of the desolate cliff.

“Push them all at once!”

“Yes!”

Mount Hua’s disciples waved their swords and answered loudly. The pirates who couldn’t handle the momentum retreated again and again. Those who had been at the shore retreated so much that they were immersed up to their waists.

“Chae- Chaeju!”

A desperate cry rang from here and there. Watching from Dragon Ship, the eyes of Barbarous Black Fish were full of intrigue.

“It was said that Mount Hua was once on the top of the world’s best sword sect. It seems those words were not empty.”

Impressive.

He had no way of knowing whether those called Mount Hua Five Swords were particularly like that or whether all of Mount Hua’s martial arts were like that, but at least considering the swords they unfolded, it wouldn’t be a surprise to say that they belonged to Evil Faction.

Their flashy sword techniques and sword dances deceived people’s eyes, but the sword energy that pierced the body without hesitation was extremely practical.

In addition.

“A-mi-ta-bha!”

A grand cry echoed and a golden light soared from the middle of the blooming flower garden.
Kwaaaa!

Those who were swept away by the enormous power as if a waterfall were pouring down could not even scream and bounced off then fell onto the Yangtze River.

Splash! Splash! Splash!
The amazing sight shook the pirates.

If they were spectators, they would just be amazed, but they were not simple spectators, they were in the position to face that power. So they had to be scared.

And Mount Hua’s disciples didn’t miss the moment when the pirates shrank. Plum Blossom Swordsmanship, as splendid as it is, is a swordsmanship that requires a certain amount of gap.

Compared to a simple sword that cuts off shortly, the activation is slow because it needs to scatter the sword energy in a splendid way. Therefore, to use the Plum Blossom Swordsmanship Technique, a process of pushing back the opponent or creating a gap is needed by exchanging swords moderately.

However, in the current situation where the enemies are shrunken like this, they can scatter their swords more boldly than usual.

‘At once!’

‘We must seize the initiative!’

Chung Myung wasn’t here, but the memories of fighting with him remained in their heads and bodies. When dealing with many, you must never fall behind in momentum.

Bold and splendid sword techniques were poured toward the pirates.

“M- Monsters!”

“What are these guys……!”

The pirates were in a state of confusion, retreating in every direction.

If they are willing to risk their lives to deal with the enemy, there is no reason to be pirates in the first place. Evil Faction is more cruel than anyone else when they are winning, but when defeat looms large, they often run away without looking back.

This is because they value profit over honor and care for their own comfort more than anything else in the world.

The Barbarous Black Fish frowned as the pirates began to retreat.

“Useless bunch.”

“What should we do?”

“I wouldn’t mind stepping forward and trampling them myself but……”

The Barbarous Black Fish murmured with a cruel smile after contemplating for a while and murmured.

“It wouldn’t be bad to teach those brats who know nothing of the world a lesson. The fact that in Kangho, it’s not always the strong that wins.”

“Understood.”

When Jo Seung winked at the subordinate next to him, some of his pirates ran quickly.
“Hmm.”

Barbarous Black Fish lightly patted his iron glove (拳鉀), a weapon used for battle, strapped to his waist.
“Bunch of small fries.”
A satisfied smile spread across his face.

‘Good!’

A heat flickered in Baek Cheon’s eyes.

They succeeded in suppressing the energy of the atmosphere. Of course, this doesn’t mean they can defeat this many pirates with their forces alone. Even after they knocked down dozens, more enemies were pouring in like grains of sand from the riverbank.

In addition, the real power houses of these pirate bands have yet to come out. Baek Cheon wasn’t a fool who would ruin things by becoming overexcited from a temporary advantage.

‘Behind.’

His gaze darted behind him.

Even at this moment, the pirates were jumping off the ship and flocking to their side. This meant that there were not many pirates left on the docked ship.

‘If we quickly occupy the rear and have the civilians move to the ship……’

He knows. They have harpoones that can destroy ships. Therefore, going out to their ship cannot guarantee safety. Since it was a high-speed ship, it would be faster than the merchant ship, and since there are crew members on this side, if they leave their luggage and carry only their body, they won’t be far behind in speed, but even so, they still have to fight a desperate battle.

But at least it’s better than fighting here.

‘First, secure the rear and buy time for the civilians to move to the ship……’
It was just then.

Splash! Splash!

Something splashed over their heads and burst into smoke.

“What?”

‘Gunpowder? Or a cannon?’

Baek Cheon instinctively looked up and his eyes widened in surprise. What emerged from the smoke was none other than a large net.

“D- Dodge….”

He tried to dodge, but the net was too large. It was so large that it threatened to cover not only the disciples of Mount Hua but also the pirates surrounding them.
“Keuk!”

There seemed to be no way to escape the net unless they dug through the enemies and ran.

“For God’s sake!”

The disciples of Mount Hua reflexively swung their swords at the falling net. They intended to cut the net with their sword energy in one fell swoop.

Kagang!

But even when the sword energy hit, the net did not split but continued to fall with a loud metal sound.

“Keuk!”

“T- This!”

And the dark net finally engulfed the disciples of Mount Hua like black water.

Baek Cheon frantically slashed at the net pressing heavily on his entire body.

‘What the hell is it made of!’

He had never heard of a net so strong that it couldn’t be cut by sword energy. If it continues like this, they will be restricted and unable to avoid the harpoons piercing them from above the net.

He grabbed the net with one hand and drew his sword energy with desperate determination, slashing once more.

Gagagagak!

Only then did the net begin to cut.

“Done!”

Just as Baek Cheon was about to cry out in joy, a piercing voice rang out.

“Po- Poison! Everyone, don’t touch the net!”

Baek Cheon’s face turned white at Tang Soso’s urgent scream.
