Chapter 4: Battle on board a ship)

Seeing Gu Feng fighting with Lu Daerang, it seemed like he wouldn't be able to last much longer..

He usually looked at Yeonhwagakwon from the corner of his eye even during fights..

But he hasn't done that even once since joining Yukdaerang..

It meant that it was urgent..

“I'm going to help Sabaek from now on, so don't get involved with unnecessary worries. It's a warning.”

“Priest, you're crazy.?”

Jang Hong looked at Joo Seocheon as if he was dumbfounded..

It was the gaze of a madman..

“going!”

Sometimes it's better to show with actions than with words..

“oh!”

The Murim warrior standing in the vanguard let out a puzzled voice..

This is because before the guards could stop them, Ju Seo-cheon passed them and approached the enemy in an instant..

“no!”

Jang Hong screamed and tried to run away..

“It's not possible!”

However, this time, the Murim Maeng warrior blocked Jang Hong from leaving as if he had no choice..

“Let go of this! The priest……”

Jang Hong couldn't speak and kept his mouth shut..

His face showed disbelief and astonishment..

“What on earth is this?……?”

Zhuge Sak also couldn't believe his eyes..

No, it wasn't just Jegal Sak..

It was everyone except Gufeng..

The sight they saw was Ju Seo-cheon swinging his sword brilliantly among the enemy..

“What, what?!”

Sujeok, who was relatively small in stature, let out an embarrassed voice..

Something flashed and the head of a colleague next to me was blown off..

I felt like I was possessed by a ghost..

“There's no time, so attack them all at once..”

Joo Seocheon narrowed his eyes..

Those eyes were fierce like a wild beast..

‘Well, what kind of guy’s eyes are this?……’

The small man trembled..

The moment I made eye contact, my body stopped listening..

“You idiot! Quick catch the kid!”

A fellow enemy jumped from the side..

He was a number who was usually teased for not having any sense..

And that late notice led to death..

Joo Seo-cheon easily dodged the sword that flew at him with the force of splitting his head by just taking half a step to the left, and then plunged the sword into his side..

“Wow!”

“Phew,” the sword pierced my lung through my side..

I was out of breath and lost consciousness..

“I won't be able to take care of you from now on, so warriors, please keep in mind..

We need to focus on defense, not offense..”

Joo Seocheon pulled the sword out of his lungs and kicked Sujeok, who was having trouble breathing, into the Yangtze River..

‘Plum Blossom Red Sword!’

A quick sword unfolded from Joo Seocheon’s hand..

Thanks to the great success of all twelve stars, he displayed perfect power..

Pabat!

“Wow!”

One enemy leaned back..

Joo Seocheon's sword narrowly grazed his chin..

“Hmm, I might need to get used to this..”

Ju Seo-cheon has never fought on a ship..

It can be counted on one hand..

Originally, the horizontal line should have cut off the head, but it didn't..

After Joo Seocheon readjusted his senses, he plunged his sword into the chest of the enemy who was trying to get up..

“Ugh”

When the sword was accurately inserted into the bloodletting, the flow of bets became entangled..

I lost consciousness as my brain stiffened and my muscles relaxed..

There was no hesitation in Joo Seocheon’s touch..

They attacked fiercely, as if they were going to take at least one more person's life..

“This rat-like guy!”

Out of the corner of my eye, I looked for the source of the voice and saw an ax-wielding enemy charging at me from the left..

Joo Seocheon kicked the enemy he was fighting and pushed him away, then raised his sword to block the axe..

Sparks flew as the metal clashed with each other..

“Wow!”

The enemy pushed the ax with all his might..

My face turned red..

But even though I put all my effort into it, I couldn't push it even an inch..

“hot!”

Joo Seo-cheon raised his sword upward with a utterance of energy for the first time, and the double-edged ax drove the blade deep into the forehead of the enemy in front of him..

“Wow!”

The enemy let out a single scream and fell down helplessly..

“Hee hee hee hee!”

Nearly ten of his fellow enemies lost their lives in an instant..

Only then did they feel fear and anxiety..

‘Plum Five Element Sword.’

Joo Seocheon changed his swordsmanship.

Because of the rocking of the ship, the sharp sword was not very good..

The Maehwa Five Element Sword, which focuses on stability and balance, was better..

His fierce demeanor changed, but that didn't mean he tolerated the situation of his enemies..

He ended the lives of his enemies while boasting a sense of stability that made the viewer feel at ease..

‘Sigh. Normally, I would have to deal with it without dividing it into several sums, but since my level is low, that doesn't work out well..

If I had known that I would show my inaction like this, I would have raised it a little higher..’

Joo Seocheon's state was a little ambiguous..

The Plum Blossom Saenggong had already become prosperous, and the Plum Blossom Six Harmony Method was deliberately stopped at the Ten Stars..

Because I feel like if I grow up, I will reach a higher level..

When the entire level of inaction rises, even if you don't like it, you can't help but notice it..

It's because things like prayer become embedded in the body..

Because it would be difficult to stand out, I deliberately left it alone and did not raise my level..

But the law didn't matter.

Since I can adjust it as much as I want, I used the essence of Hwagyeong to create everything..

The skill of the sword was Hwagyeong, the martial arts itself was second-rate, and if you tried too hard, it was difficult to define whether it was first-class or anything..

In any case, if your level itself is low, your body will not keep up, so no matter how perfect your sword is, it will quickly become difficult..

This is how Joo Seocheon is now..

I'm trying to do things that are too high for my body, so I'm losing my balance..

‘It's the same with Sabaek, but I can't waste time either.!’

Joo Seocheon’s movements became faster and changed..

I tried to avoid using too much force whenever possible, so I avoided it with minimal movement and then inflicted a fatal wound..

The enemies did not even know that Ju Seo-cheon was having a hard time, and they screamed as they were beaten frantically..

Scouts from Surim Guchae were standing on the rocky cliff with the Yangtze River in the middle..

They were astonished as they watched from above what was happening below..

“What is that!”

At first I did not understand the mission of reconnaissance..

The mission was to prepare for an emergency, watch, and report later on what happened if something happened..

But who's down there!

There are hundreds of great masters in the world, and there is Yu Daerang, a swordsman spearman who reigns almost as the strongest in the Yangtze River..

Even if all the other enemies there are third-rate, it is not at a disadvantage since it is on the Yangtze River..

It was so advantageous that I had no doubts about the odds of winning..

I was leisurely drinking from a bottle and flirting..

But soon after the battle began, something strange happened..

“They said I was a foreign guest.!”

Before attacking, I only vaguely heard information about the target being attacked..

The nickname, which was only called within the Hwasan faction, was known to the enemy..

A kid from Yeonhwagak who has inner strength but is nothing else..

There was no need to fight head-on, and the assessment was that if you showed even a little bit of inadequacy, you would be defeated without any hesitation..

“Not at all!”

The information is wrong.

I don't know if Joo Seocheon was hiding himself or if the information he received was incorrect..

The boy who was my friend was an unbelievable monster..

Despite being in an unfavorable environment on board a ship, he went around and massacred his fellow bandits..

There was no retreat. There was only progress.

And the enemies, twice as many in number, fell into the river one after another, blood spraying out..

It was terrifying to see a child who had just joined the gang for the first time swinging a sword without regard for any circumstances..

“Don't you have to warn Chaeju??”

Surimguchae is an association of nine waterchae..

Of course, there are nine creditors according to the number..

Yook Daerang was one of them..

“No, stop it. You're fighting the Fourteen Swordsman Association right now..

It seems like the creditor has an overwhelming advantage.……

If I say something and get distracted, I might get hurt..

Then you know what will happen?”

Yuk Daerang's personality is quite cruel..

There were several colleagues who lost their heads for trivial reasons..

“That, and… … I'm sure the lender will get hit.?”

“Yes, you are a swordsman and no one else..

There's no way I can lose on the water.

Even if they all break through, Chaeju will be the one who wins in the end..”

The scouts gulped and looked down..

Chaechaejang!

The sword and spear clashed several times in the air..

The air exploded as sword strikes and spear strikes raged like a storm..

‘What.’

Lu Daerang glanced over Gu Feng’s shoulder..

I saw my subordinates screaming and running away..

The reaction from the front was unusual from a while ago, but something strange was happening..

It was the presence of Joo Seo-cheon, a foreign guest..

“Ha! Where are you paying attention?!”

There is no way Gu Feng, a supreme expert, would not notice that gaze..

I thought I found a gap and swung my sword..

nettle!

The tip of the sword stretched out, drawing a beam of light..

An eerie sound burst through the air..

“joy! It's impossible!”

Yukdaerang’s windows were set up diagonally..

The part of the spear connected to the spear blade accurately blocked the sword of Nine Winds..

“It was your mistake to look down on the warriors of the Murim Alliance.!”

Gu Feng shouted excitedly..

Unlike Lu Daerang, who was a little relaxed, Gu Feng was concentrating all his senses on this game..

I didn't know what was going on behind the scenes..

I just saw the gap in the six battles and mistakenly thought that the Murim Alliance warriors were doing more than expected..

“Tsk!”

Yukdaerang clicked his tongue..

Even if this side has the advantage, we cannot let down our guard in front of the Fourteen Swordsmen Association..

That name is not known in the midfield for nothing..

The proof was that they were still fighting without being able to win..

‘this.’

Gu Feng wrinkled his face..

Lu Daerang was just a nuisance, but Gu Feng's situation was serious..

A boat floating on the water shakes.

Because of the shaking, I had trouble opening my sword..

“I've heard that Hwasan's Fourteen Beasts and Plum Blossom Sword Technique is amazing, but that's just a story on the ground..”

“gibberish!”

“Didn't the sword shake just a moment ago??”

Yukdaerang laughed bitterly..

Normally it would have been straight, but it was slightly shaken..

That’s because it’s on a boat..

“In comparison, my water-anchang method is unwavering, firm, and fearsome. Hehehe.”

The source of Suan Changbeop is the government office..

It is also a singing method permitted not for ordinary soldiers, but only for those of moderate skill..

The level was quite high..

The spear deployed on the water was quick, strong, accurate, and perfect..

The rocking of the ship is not a problem at all..

On the contrary, it moves as if it has become one with the water..

“Now that we know how great the sword of the volcano is, let's give it a try..

It was enough as a snack, the Fourteen Swordsmen Association..”

Wow!

The hand holding the spear gained strength..

Blue veins popped out and muscles twitched..

As Lu Daerang's prayer changed, Gu Feng also became very nervous..

I concentrated all my attention and waited for the next attack..

‘It's a big deal’

Gu Feng also knew that Yukdaerang had been scouting for almost half of his time so far..

That's why my stomach was sore.

If he gives his all, he won't be able to last much..

A flash of light facing each other

Moment ― !

“Ahhhhh!”

Over the head of Gu Feng, the enemy screamed and fell..

The body accelerated and tried to attack Yukdaerang..

“Hut!”

Yook Daerang was surprised and without realizing it, he drew the spear vertically..

The body of the flying enemy was struck by the spear blade and split into two pieces like a piece of wood..

“What is this……”

Lu Daerang looked over Gu Feng’s shoulder again..

Ju Seocheon was standing there..

“Hello, Yookdaerang. Nice to meet you. From now on I'm going to kill you.”

Joo Seocheon took a deep breath..

It took some effort to get here..

“No, why are you Seocheon?……”

Gu Feng was agitated and looked at Zhou Seocheon..

The only emotions on his face were confusion and doubt..

“I understand how Sabaek feels, but this is not the time..

Because I don't know what the things above will do..”

Joo Seocheon gestured at the scout on the cliff..

“What did the warriors do without stopping Seocheon?!”

Gu Feng raised his voice..

Ju Seocheon's safety was a sensitive issue to Gu Feng..

“That, that……”

The Murim Alliance warriors looked helpless..

They were still dumbfounded..

When no one came forward and spoke, Zhuge Suran opened his mouth..

“You may not believe it, but the Zhou Xiaojiao there wiped out most of the enemy forces..”

“Suran, it’s dangerous. Even if you don't, you still stand out so much.”

Zhuge Sang hid Zhuge Suran behind him..

It was a reasonable decision.

“What?”

Gu Feng made an incredulous expression..

However, looking at the surrounding atmosphere, I realized it was not a lie..

“Didn’t you know either??”

Yukdaerang looked at Dot Gupung in surprise..

“……Is that really true??”

Gu Pung looked at Joo Seocheon standing next to him for a moment..

“Yes, four hundred.”

Joo Seocheon nodded..

“How on earth... … No, it's done..”

Gu Feng had a lot to say, but decided to save his words for now..

Now is not the time to leisurely ask questions..

“If we get out of here safely, let's talk again..”

“I will help you.”

“No, it's a hindrance..”

Gu Feng flatly refused..

“I know you've been hiding your skills, but your opponent is too bad..

To be honest, if you intervene, you will be a hindrance rather than a help..”

If it's the peak, anything below that isn't much help..

Moreover, Joo Seocheon is someone who must be protected..

I can't fight properly because I'm so nervous.

“So leave this to me……”

“Man, you talk a lot.!”

Lu Daerang interrupted Gu Feng’s words and jumped in..

The boat shook as the heavy body took big steps..

Gu Feng pushed Zhou Seocheon back and then jumped forward..

Hmm!

Yukdaerang threw his whole body into the attack..

The weight carried by the spear was unusual..

the wind blew loudly.

Gu Feng saw this and turned half in his place..

The window narrowly passed by with my waist..

Gu Feng also swung his sword while dodging by turning..

‘done!’

The tip of the sword still shakes, but this time it's certain..

I thought I could just go through the neck..

“It's impossible!”

Yukdaerang injected energy into Yongcheonhyeol and stamped his foot..

Cooing!

“Wow!!”

The stern bounced slightly due to the force applied to the lead..

The river went over the railing and came inside..

The few remaining enemies, as well as the members of the Murim Alliance, were taken aback when the middle ship suddenly shook significantly..

The thing that embarrassed me the most was Gu Pung..

The sword, which was already unstable, was completely lost due to the large shaking..

I tried to reorganize quickly, but it was too late..

When everyone lost their balance, Lu Daerang stepped forward with normal steps and struck Gu Feng again with a spear strike..

“I'm dying!”

Gu Feng closed his eyes tightly and sensed death..

“Who are you touching?!”

Ju Seo-cheon, who was waiting in the rearguard of Gu Feng, stepped forward as if he had been waiting and performed a sword technique on Yu Dae-rang..

Plum Nak Island)

Gu Feng was astonished when he saw the sword unfolding in Ju Seo-cheon's hand..

It was the five-choice method of the Fourteen Plum Blossom Sword Techniques..

“This cocky kid……!”

Yuk Dae-rang's pride was hurt when Ju Seo-cheon blocked Cho Sik, who was quite confident..

The face was twisted with anger..

“You already have a tasteless face, so don’t do that.!”

Joo Seocheon threw a joke and threw the next chosik..

The sword he was holding became blurred, and a sword strike fell from above..

It is plum blossom, which is a herbivore..

“Pfft!”

Yukdaerang raised his spear above his head and somehow blocked it..

Joo Seocheon did not stop and continued with the next meal..

This time, a dizzying number of sword strikes flew..

Until plum blossoms!

Gu Feng’s astonishment continued..

“It's called the Fourteen Plum Blossom Sword Technique.?”

Yuk Daerang’s face hardened..

As he received the chosik, he realized that it was the old wind sword technique he had fought just before..

No, to be exact, it was the sword method of the Hwasan faction..

‘This is the time!’

Gu Feng’s eyes also saw Lu Daerang’s agitation..

The swordsmanship shown by Joo Seocheon is shocking, but he is not stupid enough to miss a golden opportunity..

The nine winds aimed for Lu Daerang’s side and dug in..

And he pierced his sword like lightning..

“Oh my, pair!”

Yook Daerang raised his internal energy and quickly turned his body..

I suddenly changed my use of internal energy and felt sick to my stomach..

Boouk!

Nine Wind's sword passed by, tearing Lu Daerang's skin..

I could see fat and muscle attached to the tip of the sword..

“Pfft!”

Yukdaerang sobbed as he felt the hot pain in his side..

But I can't suffer in peace.

Once a movement is wrong, it is fatal in the fight of an expert..

This is especially true when there are two enemies..

Joo Seocheon once again threw away the plum meal..

It was a difficult sword that made Yuk Daerang's eyes and other senses dizzy..

“go away!”

Yukdaerang swung his spear sharply..

The energy on the spear blade soon turned into wind and blocked the rain of swords..

“Good job!”

Gu Feng praised Zhou Seo-cheon and attacked Lu Da-rang's back..

He drew up internal power from his entire body and loaded it with sword energy..

Lu Daerang quickly turned around and swatted away Gu Feng’s sword energy..

However, the movement was not the same as before..

The torn area on my side was significant and I was in a lot of pain..

“Ugh!”

Yukdaerang couldn't help but feel angry..

My pride was hurt and I was irritated by being treated so absurdly..

Besides, I couldn't bear the fact that all my subordinates were watching this scene..

If this rumor were to spread in Surimguchae, it was obvious that other creditors would laugh at him and ask if he had been harmed by a child..

“Get lost!”

Yukdaerang swung his spear sharply..

A destructive force that seemed to sweep away everything around was felt throughout the ship..

The energy contained in the spear even created pressure and spread in a circle around it, shaking the river and creating waves..

The blow with all its might flew towards Joo Seo-cheon first..

‘no!’

Nine Winds flew away. Joo Seocheon's strength was unexpected, but he can't stop it..

I thought so.

“omg !”

Joo Seocheon was also startled by the window pressure he felt throughout his body..

It was definitely not normal

‘but… … It's an opportunity!’

A deep smile spread across Joo Seocheon’s lips..

I raised my sword and turned it..

While pressing the sword surface with the palm, I injected the entire amount of internal energy, which was close to one square meter..

“stupid guy!”

Yuk Daerang laughed at Joo Seocheon..

I was sure I couldn't stop this blow..

Wow!-!

The spear collided with the sword..

“What, what??”

However, Yukdaerang’s expectations were completely wrong..

Ju Seocheon, a child several times smaller, blocked the window with his sword..

Joo Seocheon’s body took a step back about five steps..

Long footprints left on the floor.

“Cough!”

But it wasn't completely blocked..

Joo Seocheon also vomited out a handful of blood..

It would be nice if he could form sword energy, but unfortunately, Joo Seocheon is not there yet..

Instead, I ignorantly used my inner strength to block it..

The inner strength that was close to 1 day was not an decoration..

“Well done, Seocheon.!”

The nine winds moved as if folding space..

He did his best too..

He threw his entire body and plunged his sword into Yuk Daerang’s back..

Puuk!

The tip of the sword split the back flesh and was absorbed as if it were being sucked in, then pierced through the chest beyond it and popped out..

“Heheheok!”

Yukdaerang opened his eyes wide..

“No, that's ridiculous.……”

Yook Daerang bent his back and trembled..

“I let my guard down, spearman..”

Gu Feng drew his sword and stepped back..

“Oh, I let my guard down?”

Yukdaerang made a dumbfounded expression..

“Hehehehe, don’t fucking say it.……”

Who would have expected a number like Joo Seo-cheon?.

He used the Fourteen Plum Blossom Sword Techniques as skillfully as the Fourteen Swordsmen, and even blocked the blow with all his might..

Even if Zhuge Liang returns, I don't expect something that deviates from common sense to this extent..

“The creditor suffered!”

“Wow!”

with a splash!

The few surviving pirates threw themselves overboard..

This gave them a better chance of survival..

“Damn it……”

Yukdaerang muttered in a resentful voice..

alone… … I can't die... … does not exist!”

Yook Daerang shouted and held his spear backwards..

no!

Gu Feng belatedly shouted in an urgent voice, but it was too late..

Lu Daerang had already raised his spear high and slashed down..

Kwaaang!

The leader, who had already been ruined by Yukdaerang's kick earlier, was unable to withstand this blow and was shattered..

The crack that formed from the lead spread like a spider's web, encompassing the entire middle line, and eventually shattered into pieces..

“Ahh!”

“evil!”

with a plop

As the ship broke apart, everyone on board, both survivors and dead, fell into the water..

Later, Yu Daerang, who lived the longest among the world's hundreds of great masters, was the first to be dragged into the bottom of the Yangtze River and disappeared..

“Whoops, whoops!”

Jegalsak was struggling..

“grab this!”

A nearby Murim warrior brought a wooden plank and handed it to Zhuge Sak..

It was a wreck of a ship..

“Fortunately, the current is not fast.!”

Zhuge Sang also shouted while leaving his body to the wreckage of the ship..

“Everyone, go up to that rock.!”

Gu Feng swam and pointed to one side..

It was a place full of rocks the size of houses..

It seemed connected to the ground..

It was a relief..

At the sound of Gu Feng's cry, the group relied on each other and climbed the large rock..

“Cough, Cough! Is everyone okay? No one was hurt?”

Gu Feng coughed and raised his voice..

He first visited Yeonhwagakwons..

The first thing that caught my eye was Jang Seo-eun..

“four, four hundred!”

Jang Seo-eun shouted urgently with a pale complexion..

It wasn't the coldness of the river that made my face tired..

“Sir, I can't see the priest.!”

“what……?”

Gu Pung was shocked and looked around..

Jang Hong and Jang Seo-eun were visible, but the youngest was not visible..

I searched carefully to see if I had tripped on another rock, but I couldn't even find a hair..

“It's succession!”

I heard Zhuge Sang's anxious voice next to me..

His eyes also darted here and there..

My complexion was also not good..

“Hey, if you're nearby, answer me.!”

“It's succession!”

Zhuge Shang's sorrowful voice rang out..

“Unbelievable……”

Gu Feng lamented..

Ju Seocheon and Zhuge Succession.

I couldn't see just those two.
