Novel Return of Mount Hua Sect Chapter 769

“Cha- Chaeju-nim…….”

“Uuh….”

The scene of the Barbarous Black Fish splitting in half and dying was clearly seen by the pirates, who widened their eyes, unable to believe the reality.
Because of his tyrannical temper, he was feared even by the enemies of the Great Whale Water Fortress, but he was revered and treated as the Chaeju because of his proven strength.
But that very Barbarous Black Fish literally split into two without even putting up a fight.
“……Thi- This can’t be……”

Despair swept among the pirates.

Their trusted Chaeju had died, and they were surrounded on all sides by overwhelmingly powerful enemies.

A terrible defeat was the only thing they could see in their future.

‘We- We have to escape somehow…’

And… the cunning fox did not miss their wavering.

“Shoot!”

Arrows that had stopped started pouring down like rain from the cliff again. Perhaps they had brought more arrows to the cliff in the meantime, the quantity was massive.

“Shoot! Shoot more! Shoot them to the point where no gap can be seen on the ground!”

Im Sobyong laughed gleefully.

For those who studied warfare, the situation in which they can unilaterally strike the opponent in a position that is not under attack is no different from which gold is pouring from the sky.

Im Sobyong never intended to miss this precious opportunity.

“Shoot! Shoot more! You’re doing well. Turn them into a pincushion!”

At Im Sobyong’s encouragement, the archers pulled the bowstring as if their arms would break. The special iron bow made for martial artist use was pulled relentlessly. The bow, which was so powerful that even those with good strength would not dare to pull the bowstring.

“Aaargh!”

“Do- Dodge! We’re going to die!”

They knew they had to avoid the arrows. But how could they possibly dodge arrows that were pouring down like a rainstorm overhead? Moreover, while rain ends with wetting the body, this rain of arrows pierces their bodies with heat.

“Kok!”

“Kkeuuk!”

A tooth whose throat was pierced by an arrow collapses, unable to close his eyes. The dense arrows poured through his unconscious body, turning him into a hedgehog in an instant.

“Hiiik!”

The pirates who had been swinging their harpoon to fend off the arrows began to show fear in their eyes. If things continued this way, everyone would inevitably die that way.

“Hahahaha! These pathetic bastards are terrified… Argh! Shoot the arrow straight, you bastards! I almost died…!”

Bonchung, who avoided the arrow, glared over the cliff. But when Im Sobyong made eye contact, he flinched and lowered his head slightly.

“Ooooh!”

Kuung!

He shouted, knocking out the pirate in front of him.

“This is the order of the Nokrim King! Don’t leave a single one alive!”

“Yes!”

It was the moment when bandits were trying to increase their momentum and wipe out all the pirates.

“Stoooop!”

A thunderous voice broke out. At the sound filled with powerful force, everyone stopped their hands and turned their heads blankly.

“Tsk.”

At the end of their gaze, naturally, was Chung Myung.

He looked up at Im Sobyong on the cliff and shouted.

“Ah, stop shooting! We’re all going to die at this rate.”

“Don’t we have to kill them all?”

“Look at that bandit’s personality.”

“…No, uh… No… You mean…….”

For a moment, the face of the dumbfounded Im Sobyong distorted into despair.

Mount Hua’s disciples, who saw the scene on the other side, closed their eyes, understanding his feelings all too well.

‘We don’t want to hear that.’

‘Especially from him.’

‘I’d rather have him swear.’

Chung Myung clicked his tongue and added another word.
“It’s a fight that’s already over, why do you have to kill precious slaves… no, precious lives in a fight that’s already over!”

Im Sobyong was about to complain about the injustice, and Chung Myung didn’t care and looked at the pirates this time.

The pirates, who were injured in various places by the arrows, looked at Chung Myung with eyes full of despair and hope.

“Those who surrender by dropping their weapons will be spared.”

“….R-really?”

“Have these bastards only been fooled? I’m a famous Taoist, a Taoist!”

Baek Cheon covered his face with both hands in despair.

‘He only becomes a Taoist when needed, that damned guy.’

No matter how hard he thinks about it, it is clear that there are no Yuanshi Tianzun or Daode Tianzun* in the world. If they really existed, they wouldn’t have left that demon alone.

“Aren’t you throwing away that harpoon? It seems I’ll have to skewer you all with that harpoon!”

The pirates look at Chung Myung with trembling eyes.

They are basically pirates.

There’s never been a story about a pirate being spared even after being subdued. In the first place, even if a thief was caught by officials, weren’t they in a position to be decapitated immediately?

But….

‘Damn it, isn’t dying the same anyway?’

‘No, but I’d rather resist and die…..’

‘What should I do?’

It was then.

“Amitabha.”

Hye Yeon quietly said while in Banzhang stance.

“I assure you that those who surrender by dropping their weapons will not be killed.”

When a good-looking monk dressed in a monk’s robe said that, trust was built.

In addition,

“We are disciples of Mount Hua Sect. We also promise to guarantee at least your lives.”

Baek Cheon stepped forward and choked the faces of the pirates.

After all, trust varies depending on one’s demeanor. The trust was significantly different when such words came out of Baek Cheon’s mouth, who seemed to have nothing to envy.

“We will surrender.”

“We surrender!

“Please spare us!”

Everyone surrendered, abandoning their weapons.

However, Chung Myung didn’t look so happy even though the result he wanted came out. Rather, he started running wild as if he were angry.

“But do these bastards discriminate against people? You didn’t even hear me when I spoke? Hey, I can’t do this. Pick up your harpoon, you bastards! Let’s all die today!”

“Stop him! Get him!”

Yoo Iseol and Tang Soso rushed to catch Chung Myung at Baek Cheon’s cry.

Tang Soso grabbed his waist and Yoo Iseol hit Chung Myung on the head repeatedly.

“Sahyung! Please bear it! We promised them!”

“You’ll get in trouble.”

“No, these bastards!”

“We got it! We got it!”

“You’re going to get in trouble.”

Whenever Chung Myung growled and tried to rush forward, the pirates stepped back as s group.

Baek Cheon shook his head at the chaotic scene.

“Sasuk, shouldn’t we clean up first?”

“…We should.”

Baek Cheon, sighing at Yoon Jong’s words, murmured inwardly.

‘It’s a sight I’ve seen on the road.’

He realized once again how difficult it is to create such a scene consistently and casually.

The pirates, bound by copper wires, kneeled side by side.

It is not a big restriction on the rope for martial artists who have mastered martial arts, but it is different if bandits armed with weapons surround them.

“Haaa….”

“Ugh.”

The bandits looked displeased and smacked their lips while looking at the pirates. They were ready to choke their necks if only permission was granted.

The pirates, whose legs were numb with the brutal atmosphere, couldn’t even lift their heads and looked down.

“What are you going to do with these guys?”

Im Sobyong also smacked his lips with a sour face. Baek Cheon, next to him, chuckled quietly.
“But we can’t just kill everyone, right? It’s not something a person should do.”

“Well, it’s not that difficult. We just have to simply tie them all together and throw them over there, don’t we?”

Baek Cheon shuddered as Im Sobyong pointed to the Yangtze River. He felt like this guy would really do it.

To the disciples of Mount Hua, he seemed like a sly scholar, but isn’t this yangban actual position the Nokrim King?

“I’m sure Chung Myung has something in mind.”

“Hmm.”

Then

“There’s none!”

“There’s only money and wealth in the warehouse! There are no people.”

“Yes! Besides treasures….”

“Euhehe!”

Im Sobyong and Baek Cheon, who flinched for a moment, looked at Chung Myung with a strange gaze at the same time.

“Keuhuhum! Keuhum!”

Chung Myung put his fist at his mouth and cleared his throat.

“There’s just grain and money piled up like a mountain……”

“Kekeke!”

“….”

“Keuhuhum! Keuhum!”

Baek Cheon mumbled disappointedly, his eyes dull like rotten pollock, looking at that quantity.

“Is he that happy….”

“That yangban is already rich, too.”

“Ei, noisy! So, there’s only money… Keuhuhum! Only money and treasures! Rare treasures and peculiar herbs! All sorts of medicines and elixirs!”

“…There’s no such thing, you son of a beast.”

“Ei!”

Chung Myun,g annoyed by the man’s complaint, abruptly turned his head. Then, pushing aside the bandits, he walked into the crowd of pirates.

After a while, Chung Myung suddenly grabbed the collar of a man who was especially lowering his posture in the center.

“Look at this jerk with his head down.”

“H- Hiiik!”

“What? You thought I wouldn’t know if you do that? Do you think my eyes are just hollow holes, you bastard?”

“Spa- Spare me!”

“Come out!”

He dragged out the man he caught and threw him onto the ground.

“Argh!”

Jo Seung, who was curled up, screamed and looked up at Chung Myung with trembling eyes.

Kwaang!

Then Chung Myung stomped right next to his face. A deep footprint was imprinted on the ground. He didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened if he had slightly changed direction and stomped on his face.

Chung Myung grabbed Jo Seung’s collar again and shouted.

“What happened to the commoners, you bastard?”

“Spa- Spare me, Daehyeop! I…I didn’t do anything!”

“But why doesn’t this guy come to his senses?”

Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!

Chung Myung slapped Jo Seung’s cheek from side to side.

“Sense, you bastard! Haven’t you heard the saying that even if you get bitten by a tiger, you survive if you have your senses, huh?”

At the horrendous sight, Baek Cheon quietly closed his eyes.

‘Chung Myung-ah…I’d rather be bitten by a tiger than by you… You don’t spare anyone even if they have senses…’

Jo Seung, whose cheeks had swollen up in no time, was shedding tears.
“I- I’m sorry.”

“What? Speak clearly, you punk!”

Jo Seung started to get hit again. Baek Cheon couldn’t bear to look and turned his head. Im Sobyong applauded as if admiring and muttered.

“Haiya…. You hit really well. Even the bandits should learn from you. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Losing to the Taoist in this respect, he has the pride of a bandit.”
‘…Who is this guy trying to make fun of?’

Baek Cheon rolled his eyes.

Thwaaack!

“Speak clearly. What did you say?”

“I- I don’t know!”

Jo Seung started to sob.

“We have never kidnapped people. I really don’t know what you’re asking. I’ll tell you anything, just spare me!”
“You don’t know?”

“Yes! I swear we’ve never done such a thing!”

“Then what is that ship for? Why did you drag them?”

“Be- Because they resisted so much. We just wanted to bring it to the base… We were going to let the commoners go! If we had really been involved in human trafficking, could we have managed to keep this operation up until now? We can’t just do such reckless things!”

“…You didn’t?”

“Yes!”

Chung Myung’s head tilted slightly to the side.

“Really?”

“I- I swear, if I’m lying, you can kill me! I stake my life on it, it’s true!”

“Uh… Is that so?”

Chung Myung slightly released his grip on the collar and slowly turned his head.

Baek Cheon, who faced his gaze, closed his mouth and slowly looked at the distant mountain. There was a desperate wish to avoid Chung Myung’s gaze.

“Sasuk.”

“….”

“He says they weren’t here?”

“….”
