The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 193
EP.193 Interlude - Mistake
* * *
In Cheonghae, where the war is in full swing, the place where the most intense fighting takes place is by far the front line..
“Jincheonah.”
Namgung Jincheon's uncle Namgung Un called him..
Namgung Jincheon was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the training hall when he opened his eyes and answered..
“yes.”
“It's a campaign. Get ready.”
Namgung Jincheon stood up..
The air power that had not yet been captured was floating in the air..
Namgoongwoon was slightly impressed..
‘You're getting stronger day by day.’
speed too fast.
As Namgung Un, who has been watching Namgung Jincheon for 22 years now, this was a rise to the level that could be felt even more clearly..
The reason is probably complex..
I didn't know that the elixir that had been stuffed into my body since childhood to the point where I couldn't digest it all was gradually melting away with the actual battle in Cheonghae..
I didn't know that the bare face of the terrible war was what made Namgung Jincheon regain his composure..
However, if you were to give the most plausible reason among them, Namgoong Woon would say:.
“It looks like Mukryong really wants to win..”
Namgung Jincheon was shocked..
A slight look of irritation appeared on his face..
“…I just don't want to be left behind. He'll keep on going while I do this.”
It was a tone full of confidence..
Namgoong Woon could also deeply empathize with those words..
Anyway, until then, was there any martial artist in Gangho who grew faster than Mokriwon?.
Was there anyone who showed more shocking behavior?.
If you are Mok Riwon, you are definitely gaining enlightenment somewhere at this very moment..
‘Cancer, I am none other than the disciple of the Sword Saint..’
Namgung Jincheon will also feel impatience..
Before Mok Ri-won appeared, the next Gangho owner predicted was Namgung Jincheon..
As I lived my life thinking that way, the suddenly appearing enemy would have been a very good match to boost my winning spirit..
‘Should I at least say thank you for this?.’
Shouldn’t I send something to Mokriwon as a thank you?.
While he was thinking, Namgung Jincheon passed by Namgung Un..
“Let's go. To the battlefield.”
Namgung Woon scratched the back of his head at Namgung Jincheon’s prayers, which had become sharper..
‘It's going to be hard to win in a competitive match now..’
Slowly, he began to worry about his position as uncle as Namgung Jincheon was following him up to his chin..
*
At the border between Cheonghae and Xingang, the troops of Shingyo and Jungwon, encamped there with different flags, were fighting..
Namgung Jincheon spoke while standing next to his grandfather Namgung Hyuk..
“Are you moving separately today?.”
“Okay, today I'm going to settle the matter..”
Namgung Jincheon nodded..
For nearly a week, Nam Gung-hyuk, along with Taowang Jin-geon and Sal-seong Goat-so, were chasing the elder of the Demonic Cult who was roaming the battlefield..
However, the other person is so new that there is no way to chase him..
Namgoong Hyuk's personality must have made him a little angry..
“where are you going.”
“I'm trying to catch the Sword Demon. How many times have you encountered it in the vicinity?.”
Every time we made ambiguous moves, we got farther away, but if we had a goal, it was a sword horse..
“Since he's using an annoying martial arts skill, I don't think he'll be relieved unless he's hit at least once..”
“If you bring me the head, I'll take care of you again..”
“I won't forget.”
Namgung Jincheon drew his sword..
It was that moment.
Woooooooooooo―!
The horn sounds long across the battlefield..
It was a signal for war.
“Let's go.”
Namgoong Hyuk said, Boom! I stepped on the ground so hard that I heard a sound..
Immediately after, Namgoonghyuk was already in the middle of the battlefield..
Namgoonghyuk raised his sword high in the sky..
And he lowered the air like a beheading..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa―!
In the middle of the Demonic Cult camp, the sword energy was shot vertically, tearing everything in its path..
“Turn it around!!!”
As soon as Namgoonghyuk shouted, the war began..
*
About a day has passed since then..
This time too, the battle ended in the form of a war of attrition where each side consumed each other's power..
The situation is tight without leaning to one side..
Of course, as the days go by, the exhaustion of physical and mental power inevitably increases..
Namgung Jincheon was no exception..
“I guess I didn't catch it in the end..”
“I escaped like a rat.”
Namgung Jincheon clicked his tongue..
Sword Demon Yeonrigeon, due to his defensive martial arts skills, was quite troublesome as his opponent, who had difficulty thrusting his sword into him, ran away whenever he got the chance..
It was like that today too.
At the moment when I thought I could finally land a blow, other demons intervened and died in Yeonrigan's place..
“Rest for now. From what I heard, there won't be any fighting for the next three days..”
“yes.”
Namgung Jincheon returned to his lodgings..
My body is a mess.
Just looking at his condition, he's probably going to collapse and fall asleep right now..
However, Namgung Jincheon could not fall asleep easily..
‘How long will the war last?.’
Thoughts pass through my mind.
Concerns arise as to whether this war will ever end..
The following thoughts soon reach a woman..
‘Calligraphy.’
Hao Wenzhou calligraphy. what is she doing now.
Could it be that the demonic energy that could not be stopped here flowed to Gwiju where she is?.
Namgung Jincheon thought that maybe he was fighting more desperately because of her, so he smiled a little..
‘There shouldn't be any pain.’
He's not a weakling, so I'm worried about that..
I was just taking a break.
-Grand Duke.
Sibi said.
-A guest has arrived.
“hmm?”
Namgung Jincheon stood up immediately..
No way, no way, it’s calligraphy.
Was it not just you who missed it so much?.
Did Seo-ye come here because he was worried about being on the battlefield?.
A pouting smile began to appear on Namgung Jincheon’s lips..
He walked straight up and opened the door..
And it hardened.
“Geomryong, it’s been a while.?”
It was a danghwaseo.
A woman with a sharp look and a distinctive contrast between white skin and jet black hair..
The moment he saw her, a look of blatant disappointment appeared on Nangong Jincheon's face..
Blood sprouted on Danghwaseo’s forehead..
“What is that expression??”
“no.”
Even if I come, is this kind of woman always coming?.
Isn't this even a guest?.
Namgung Jincheon continued to grumble that he could not bear to say it out loud..
*
Still, it would be wise to treat him as a guest, so Namgung Jincheon led Danghwaseo to the reception room..
Afterwards, I asked Dang Hwa-seo who was drinking tea..
“So what happened?.”
“For some reason, I came here to supply supplies..”
Namgung Jincheon nodded..
Right now, Danghwaseo is here as the owner of Sacheondangmun, so that was the only business he had..
“I'm glad you're doing well..”
“You seem to be doing well?”
“You can see that they are doing well just by sticking to each other..”
As Tang Hwa-seo narrowed his eyes, Namgung Jincheon kept his mouth shut..
A strong attitude that will not accept unnecessary objections.
As expected, he was like the tyrant of Yongbongdan..
The room becomes quiet.
In the meantime, Danghwaseo continued speaking..
“Before coming here, I also stopped by other barracks on the front line..”
“is it.”
“Yes, I also saw monks Baekbong and Ilun..”
Their news was quite curious even for Namgung Jincheon..
I wonder if I can't ignore affection, and I sometimes worry about whether they are getting along well..
As Namgung Jincheon increased his concentration, Danghwaseo said:.
“Baekbong is still the same.”
“Do you meet men even on the battlefield?.”
“I was going to meet you. Although the Amipa monks are holding back,.”
“Still, I'm told to stop it..”
“Isn’t there a battlefield to vent your anger on instead? These days, I feel sorry for the warriors who see Baekbong running wild on the battlefield. I don't think it would be enough to call it Baekbong but Baekryong..”
Well, considering Hyeun’s fiery temperament, it wasn’t something that wouldn’t have been said..
“How is the luck?.”
“I got stronger.”
Standing tall, Namgung Jincheon’s body stopped..
“…Become stronger.”
“They say there is no better teacher than actual practice. That's what they said. Your prayers have become sharper. He said he was embarrassed because he wasn't like a monk, but he definitely felt something..”
“what?”
“We're approaching the end of the climax.”
Namgung Jincheon laughed..
I also felt nervous.
‘…Do I have to worry about it anymore?.’
Just chasing after Mok Riwon makes my head explode, there are so many things following me..
It's not that it's not, and isn't there even a saying that Zhuge Mountain climbed to its peak on the day Zhuge Byeok suffered a disaster not long ago?.
As there was a fuss back and forth, Namgung Jincheon became a little more impatient..
It was that kind of moment.
“…I also have one question..”
“hmm?”
Danghwaseo’s attitude was a little cautious..
Namgung Jincheon tilted his head..
Finally, Danghwaseo said.
“Have you heard the news about the Mok Sohyeop??”
Oh, it looks like I didn't hear any news from Zhuge Dynasty because I was busy supplying the front lines..
What should I do? Namgung Jincheon pondered..
To be honest, it doesn't really matter, but I'm feeling bad for no reason due to the news I heard about the members..
‘If it's a poisonous bee.’
Won't Mokriwon, who is trying to go ahead alone, be caught in the ankle at least once?.
Just looking at the Book of Danghwa, wouldn't Mok Riwon, who says helele, be a little lazy in his training?.
Namgung Jincheon, who had an idea that seemed like a child's idea, quickly said:.
“They say he joined Zhuge Dynasty. I heard a rumor that the girls there hang around the guy's lodgings every night to lust after him.….”
Twisted―!
The glass that Danghwaseo was holding was crushed..
Namgung Jincheon had hiccups..
“Hoo…?”
Poisonous air flowed from Danghwaseo’s body..
Namgung Jincheon held his breath..
“I'd like to hear that in more detail..”
What can I say when I look at Danghwaseo’s brightly opened eyes?.
‘…I made a mistake.’
Namgung Jincheon rarely felt sorry for Mo Riwon..
