Chapter 9
Buksanggun is in desperate danger..
While Jamyeongbang was fighting in the dark, unable to see an inch ahead, Tang Myeong-in led his troops and took the rearguard..
As a result, it was a failure as it failed to induce, let alone initiate, the original purpose of the institution..
As everything, not just part of the plan, was disrupted, the defeat of the Northern Shang Army deepened..
“Ahhhh!”
“Wow!”
There were screams everywhere..
‘no.’
A mark was left on Tang Hye's thick and pretty lips..
‘Everyone is so tired.’
Fighting in a place where I couldn't see anything, I was exhausted physically and mentally..
On the other hand, the party leader and his unit were fine..
It was said that more than half of the camp was annihilated, but there was no answer as the other units attacked in full readiness..
“Don’t you know that anything more than this is meaningless?.”
Tang Myung-in looked at his sister with empty eyes..
“shut up!”
Unlike Tang Myeong-in, Tang Hye’s eyes were grim..
‘What do we do?’
I desperately try to use my brain..
I thought of a plan.
Although it had high lethality while surrounded, it could not be mobilized because it could not use memorization that did not distinguish between enemies and enemies..
However, I couldn't force myself to do it..
Practical problems took my breath away..
The problem was that Peng Ziho, the greatest force, was caught from behind..
You can't see anything, and the medicine you took before has finished its effect, so you'll be exhausted..
‘how……!’
There is no escape route in sight..
There is no solution.
I thought about losing so senselessly..
The moment hope turns into despair.
“Master, whenever I look at you, my heart aches..”
I heard a longing voice.
“Why?”
“……”
The party leader turned his head..
“By any chance, did you improve the poison while I was away??
I've prepared a lot for you……”
“Unbelievable……”
The atmosphere of the battlefield changes..
Despair becomes hope.
Morale, which had fallen to rock bottom, rose vertically upwards..
“How are you? Don’t skimp on the intangible, let’s spend it to the fullest..”
Ju Seocheon was there..
Buksang-gun suffered hundreds of casualties due to poisonous people..
It decreased from 2,600 to 2,000 with the loss of 600..
The problem was that Icheon was unable to fight properly..
I was injured and I was mentally exhausted..
I feel like crying because even the mastermind has been caught in this situation..
But in that situation, the best reinforcements appeared..
Tang Hye smiled brightly, albeit slightly, with her lips closed..
“Swordsman!”
Dan Li-hwa recognized Ju Seo-cheon and gave him a special nickname..
“Swordsman?”
People around me reacted to Sangcheon Yukjwa’s special name..
“Joo, Ju Seocheon Daehyup!”
“This is Joo Seocheon Daehyup.!”
Joo Seo-cheon is not a handsome man that you can't forget once you see him..
If you keep your mouth shut or show no force anywhere other than the battlefield, you won't notice..
A young man with a decent appearance that you would see in the neighborhood..
nothing more nothing less.
The land was hidden and its presence was low..
But once it is recognized as it is now, the story changes..
This was because impressionism was so well known..
Since I am a person who is attracting attention in Moorim, it was impossible for me not to become known..
“Wow, what did you just say??”
“My name is Ju Seocheon.?”
Amcheon-gun was in turmoil..
He didn't look as triumphant as he did just a moment ago..
He seemed embarrassed, his eyes were wide open and he looked anxious..
“okay.”
Joo Seocheon shook his head..
“This is Juseocheon of the volcanic wave..”
At Joo Seo-cheon's acceptance, the audience fell into silence as if frozen..
The melee just now felt like a lie.
An eerie silence to the point where not even a single breath can be heard..
And what broke the silence was the shout of the Northern Sanggun..
“right……”
“Wow!!”
the sky is ringing.
the ground shook.
My heart suddenly trembled at the shout that felt like it was going to explode..
It was almost as if the sound was made by a martial artist of Iman, not Icheon..
The shout that came from the middle of the plain echoed endlessly, reaching all the way to the horizon, filling the heavens and the earth..
“It's Ju Seocheon……”
“Wasn’t there any sword body??”
“No, why is Joo Seocheon……”
On the other hand, the atmosphere at the Amcheonhoe became somber..
From doubts and embarrassment to worry and fear..
The appearance of a nemesis was also present, but it had a greater meaning as the Sixth Place of Heaven..
It's one hundred for one, no, it's one for all..
“execution!”
“He is the chief priest.!”
“Joo Seocheon!”
The Hwasan faction was very happy and welcomed Ju Seocheon..
Even within Buksang-gun, the increase in morale was the highest..
I was able to once again feel the influence of Joo Seocheon..
“It was a bit difficult to come..”
It may seem light, but it is no joke..
In fact, I was running out of breath..
Giving up eating and sleeping, I reduced my weight by using the Ghost Spiritual Movement and unfolded the Amhyangpyo, a light technique of the Hwasan Wave, to the extreme..
It was a waste of time to understand the situation of the war..
“Joo Seocheon……”
The party leader chanted Joo Seo-cheon’s name..
I was embarrassed.
He didn't show up until the end, so it wasn't long after Joo Seo-cheon's absence was reported to Cheon-gi at headquarters..
Aside from the question of why he showed up now, Cheonki is probably revising his strategy according to the report..
‘it's already too late.’
I couldn't do anything foolish with the six thrones of heaven in front of me..
If Jeon Seo-eung flew, it was clear that he would be broken into two pieces..
I felt the need to at least increase the distance..
“Yes, party leader. grow.”
Joo Seo-cheon looked face to face with Tang Myeong-in..
His heart was broken into pieces and he almost died..
If I had been a little late or unlucky, I would have been in big trouble..
“Thanks to you, I was reminded once again that I should never trust people and that I should never let down my guard until the end. thanks.
But the back of my head from that hit still feels numb..”
It was a truly unexpected surprise..
Since that incident, I have no longer been confident..
I never let go of doubt until the very end..
I have doubts, but I also have more thoughts..
I also developed the ability to think of even absurd possibilities and make predictions..
“I'm sure he would have died then……”
Tang Myeong-in could not understand Ju Seo-cheon even after seeing him..
It is an intangible evil that can threaten even the heavens..
Not only did they grab you by the back, catch you off guard, and poison you, you also cut your heart into pieces..
Even if Grandpa Sangcheon comes, not Sangcheon, he has to die..
When I heard the news of the Great War, I couldn't believe my ears..
I almost thought that a false person might have been put forward to boost morale..
“I almost died.”
If it hadn't been for So-ryeong and Imgang-gu, we might have met King Yeomna and negotiated for our next return..
“But he came back for revenge.”
Tang Myung-in did not answer and closed his eyes..
‘Calm down and prepare your posture. The tables have not turned yet..’
It is not dark and secret in political circles for no reason..
Hiding something goes too far.
Not a single change in expression, let alone expression..
What really scared Dangmyeong-in was his maturity that was not appropriate for his age, and his experience was so embarrassing that he heard about it..
Considering what the Black Prince and the party gave up for their rights in the first place, there was nothing strange about it..
‘Increasing morale does not mean that the physical and mental burden disappears. It's just a deception. So even if you collide head-on, you may flinch but you won't be pushed back..’
The poisonous dragon’s eyelids didn’t even move..
This is because thoughts can be read with just eyes, not just words or gestures..
‘There are still more allies than enemies..’
Political faction is about quality over quantity..
Sapa is about quantity over quality..
And Amcheonhoe caught these two birds with one stone..
Most of the members of Amcheon Namgun are those who joined relatively recently, but not Amcheonbukgun..
It was different from the level.
In addition to the elite Seven Star Soldiers trained by Yogwang, there were many other masters who had joined long ago and developed their strength..
The government-government union, to be exact, the Northern Shanggun is 2,000 strong..
In comparison, Amcheon-gun still has about 3,000 left..
In terms of pure power, including average force and numbers, this side was by far superior..
‘An anomaly named Ju Seo-cheon has appeared, but if it becomes a problem, you can tie up a thousand people and annihilate the rest..’
Even if you win as an individual, it is meaningless if there is no substance..
This can be seen just by looking at the anecdote of Xiang Yu, who, as the ruler of the early dynasty and a military vassal, led the army himself and boasted of being undefeated..
Xiang Yu was the winner in terms of force and tactics, but that was it..
He fell because he was politically incompetent and as a leader..
What does an individual's victory have to do with a country's defeat and collapse?.
doesn't mean anything.
‘The damage may be greater than expected, but the odds are on our side..’
Tang Myung-in slowly lifted his closed eyelids..
‘Above all, the appearance of Joo Seo-cheon attracted attention, and the fact that Jamyeongbang was alive and well was forgotten..’
Jamyeongbang is not a third or second-rate group..
Of course, Heukdo is strong as it is an organization recognized by the martial arts group..
‘So, if you get the help of the Seven Star Soldiers and Jamyeongbang, who were brought forward after the clash of the main army, it will be enough.……’
“venomous dragon.”
As soon as Tang Myung-in made eye contact with Joo Seo-cheon again, he gave him a nostalgic nickname..
“I would have said.”
Joo Seocheon laughed.
However, unlike the mouth, the eyes were not smiling..
“I don't let my guard down at all anymore.”
Wow!!
As soon as the words were finished, a cruel scream filled with pain rang out from the rear of Buksanggun, Dokuninmu..
Ahhhh!
“what……?”
It didn't end in one go.
Screams rang out one after another..
“You can never fight a war alone.”
I know better than anyone else..
Since I couldn't do it alone, I tried to recruit talented people who were active in my previous life..
Joo Seocheon slowly pulled the sword from his waist..
There was no trace of pride, arrogance, or composure in his eyes or attitude..
Even though he knew that the enemy had no superiors, he showed signs of desperation..
“No matter how the absolute master of universal knowledge arrives and despair turns into hope, it is only ‘hope’..
Reality is colder and crueler than anything else..
Even if you have hope, you will be defeated if you do not have the foundation to make your wish come true..”
Hope is never unimportant.
You can't start if hope doesn't exist.
However, if you do not have the power to realize it, you cannot achieve it..
“Didn't you say you've prepared a lot?.”
Wow!!
“sacral vertebrae.”
It was dark with nothing visible..
I couldn't tell if the shouts coming from around me were enemies or allies..
However, it was from the perspective of a regular person..
Jamyeongbang, who lived his entire life in the dark, was excluded..
For them, the night was more comfortable than the day, and the darkness was more comfortable than the light, so Dokinunmu was the optimal space..
“Party name! This coward!”
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.!”
Jamyeong Bangju smiled darkly as he looked at Pengjaho, who was shouting angrily..
“Where are you, party leader?!”
Peng Ziho was furious to the end..
The leader of the party spoke as if they were going to fight one-on-one, but he gave up as soon as the battle started..
And as soon as I chased him, I realized that I had been tricked by the group of people in the dormitory who appeared as if they had been waiting for me and started screaming..
“This gnome!”
Peng Ziho is a master..
He was indeed the head of the Pan family..
However, no matter how expert they were, they could not easily shake off those who were best suited for darkness in an unfamiliar environment..
Whirly Whirly!
“where!”
As if Pengjaho had no problem, he swung back and swatted away Ryun, who had approached secretly..
Jjaeng!
I somehow succeeded in defeating Eun Hoeryun..
But there were not just one or two enemies..
“Ugh!”
Push shot!
Blood lines were drawn on the thighs, which were as thick as logs..
The skin split and blood oozed out..
‘deep.’
My legs lost their strength and I almost fell down..
“Hehehe, Paengjaho. You too, this is the end..”
The Jamyeong Ark laughed darkly..
“You cowards, let’s fight fair and square like men.!”
“Are you misunderstanding the concept of assassins??
Telling us to be fair is like telling us to be stupid..
You idiot with a brain and muscles..”
Jamyeong Ark laughed openly..
“Pfft!”
Peng Zihao held his sword tightly..
‘Not good.’
I was lost in thought while feeling the pain in my thighs..
‘The effect of the drug has expired and the internal energy is continuously being drained due to detoxification..
I don't know if those damn bastards get close, but they wander around me and throw rings, so I can't even properly counterattack..’
It is advisable to still hold out in these adverse conditions..
If the enemy was not just one person but many, it went without saying..
‘If you keep going like this, you will eventually die of exhaustion..’
I couldn't die like this.
‘What happened like this is a mess. When the next wheel flies, I will bounce it off and run to break through the siege somehow..’
Peng Ziho catches his breath as if he is desperate..
“Come on, let's see who wins!”
I just ran out..
‘waited for this moment!’
Jamyeong Ark smiled under his mask..
“I will sacrifice my head to be recognized by the Lord.!
Consider it an honor to become a sacrifice to the legend of Jamyeongbang! ha ha ha!”
Whirly Whirly!
The wheel left my hand.
Eun Hui-lun, who was stretched out to the extreme, aimed at Peng Zi-ho's neck without even making a sound of the wind..
The moment the round single blade reached the penguin, an unusually loud sound of it being thrown was heard..
Jjaeaeng!
“It's now!”
Suddenly!
“uh?”
something was cut.
Well, it was different from what I originally expected..
Peng Zihao was surprised and puzzled..
That's because even before I could swing the sword, I heard the sound of something being thrown away..
“My, my arm?”
Jamyeong Ark’s face soon became colored with astonishment..
“Confirmation and delivery of orders. protection of allies.”
Peng Ziho was startled..
I obviously didn't feel any presence, but I heard a voice right next to me..
“Who, who??”
Peng Ziho asked……
“annihilation of the enemy.”
The girl with her eyes covered with a black cloth answered.
The torturer glowed darkly and wriggled on the skin..
“number of people.”
Dozens of voices were heard around me..
“Ugh!”
Jamyeong Ark wasn't a first-class assassin for nothing..
Even though part of his body was cut off below the elbow, he did not scream and immediately applied a point to stop the bleeding..
Jamyeong Ark grabbed his right arm and started to figure it out..
‘Just now, dozens of voices were heard... … what happened?
I can't hear any breathing sound.’
Jamyeongbang's five sense abilities, amplified by his non-visual abilities, are comparable to those of certain animals..
If you put your mind to it, you can catch even the faintest sound of breathing right before you die..
I didn't become the third eye for nothing..
‘It's clear that it's just around the corner, so it makes no sense to not be able to catch it. That means……’
The eyes on the mask narrowed..
“Where are you?.”
Jamyeong Ark asked while looking around..
“How dare you hide in front of a sleeping room, what kind of assassin's room is this?!”
It's not that I can't hear it..
I didn't breathe in the first place.
There was no doubt that they were using a method of defeating evil spirits..
Jamyeong Ark's angry shouts rang out amidst the smoke, but no answer was heard..
None of the ghosts answered..
“My comrades went into hiding in the German Unmu.!”
Jamyeong Ark picked up the wheel that had fallen nearby..
“kill it……”
Pfft!
If the front was bright, there might have been a flash of light..
A finger-sized memorization flew through the poisonous smoke..
“Is it that way?!”
As if the Jamyeong Ark had expected it, it swung its cantilever wheel widely..
The round single blade drew a curve and cut out the memorization..
Jjaeaeng!
What is required of an assassin is coolness rather than skill..
If you cannot control your emotions and get angry and reveal your location, you are disqualified as an assassin..
He's an idiot who doesn't understand the concept of assassination..
Nevertheless, the reason I shouted was to alert my allies and to find out the location of the enemy, who had not yet been identified..
Jamyeong Ark flew in the direction from which Amgi flew..
‘die!’
I vigorously stretched my only remaining arm forward and threw the wheel..
Boom.
Force is transmitted as the fingers unfold.
The wheel that passed by my finger, blooming like a flower, spun like a windmill..
The border made of blades rolled down.
Even though it was as heavy as a cart wheel, there was almost no sound..
As the name suggests, Eun Hoeryun maximized his martial arts skills based on stealth, and the sound could not have been recklessly going 'bung bung bung'..
‘see!’
The mask of the sleeping ark was deeply carved in the shape of a smile..
Perhaps because my five senses were maximized, I could see my surroundings for an instant..
The appearance could be predicted based on the vibrations generated by the sounding object hitting the ground or the enemy's body..
In my third eye, I caught an enemy in the form of a girl raising her left arm as if to block..
‘Okay, just block it.!’
Even though I tried to hold back, the ridicule flowed out by itself..
‘Did you know that the head of the secret room was an ordinary assassin?!’
The force transmitted through the fingers is not only muscle strength..
At first glance, I could see a dark, yet reddish flag..
The haze that was flowing like water overlaps several times and hardens like ice..
It was a wheel gang..
There is a saying in Gangho that you should hide this power and keep it as a secret tactic..
In the case of an assassin, more than 30 percent is hidden..
It is as difficult for an assassin to break the wall and achieve peace as the martial arts skills of an apostle..
If it became known, it could gain fame, but the Jamyeong Ark was kept hidden just in case..
‘die!’
Another advantage of Eun Hoeryun was that his usual training method was two-handed..
Whether right or left handed, the power was the same..
No matter what you do to stop it, your arm will be cut off cleanly, and you will spin around and cut off your head..
I thought so.
Whining.
the wheel turns.
The single blade touched the enemy's left arm..
Chaeng!
‘Nonsense!’
I couldn't believe my ears.
No, all my senses were questionable..
It was clearly visible that it had touched my left arm..
But instead of cutting the flesh, it bounced back as if it had hit metal..
Zech.
The ghost said that the important thing in assassination is to catch the enemy off guard and deceive him..
It's as they say.
The major caught the shaking of the ark like a ghost..
Make your body like a feather with a ghost ball.
Reduced the sound of feet hitting the ground.
It's been a long time since I stopped breathing.
Being blind isn't even a problem.
He is a ghost who always covers his eyes with a cloth..
Clothing that clings to the body and is narrow is helpful..
Prevents the hem of the dress from blowing around in the wind..
‘Alas,!’
Jamyeong Ark belatedly came to his senses..
The body reacts before the brain even gives commands..
He was truly a master.
At the same time, the five senses uncover information about the enemy..
‘Not only is there no sound of breathing or footsteps, there is no sign of anyone.?’
I couldn't figure it out.
couldn't look.
but there was.
It is clear that there is.
But still I wasn't caught.
‘It's like it doesn't exist……’
Something passed through my mind like lightning..
‘Oh, no… … That can't be possible!’
My pupils started to drop as if an earthquake had occurred..
A fountain of emotions overflowed..
“Now that it's showing up, it can't be happening.!”
The Jamyeong Ark shouted at the top of its lungs and denied reality..
“Ahhhhh!”
I couldn't tell if it was a shout, a scream, or a scream..
And even the screaming didn't last long..
A glove touched the edge of my gaze..
The judgment of touch was telling us that it was iron, not cloth, leather, or thread..
I thought it was a protective gear, but something was wrong..
The fingers were pointed and slightly long like the claws of a wild beast..
I was able to confirm that it was covered up to just below the elbow, but it was too much to go beyond that..
Jamyeong Ark was captured by the major with his head in his hands..
The major didn't even lift an eyebrow at the cry from the sleeper ark..
Not only does he have no emotions, he doesn't even have murderous intent towards his enemies..
Internal energy circulates calmly in the body's Qi and veins..
The spell engraved on the skin gave off a gloomy light..
Kwasik!
There wasn't even a single scream..
My head was shattered, as if I was holding an apple in my hand and breaking it with force..
Brain fluid and blood mixed together and dripped stickily..
dump.
The flesh on my neck was torn off..
The body connected to the head separated and fell helplessly to the floor..
‘bar, ark!’
‘The ark died in an instant.!’
A wave of agitation rose among the group of sleepers who had not even blinked an eye when their companion died..
Those who were chasing the enemy also looked back and stood blankly..
Everyone reacted with disbelief when they saw it..
“Ugh!”
“Ouch!”
The price for losing composure was life..
Even though no one had said anything, dozens of ghosts sneakily approached and assassinated them as soon as they noticed the commotion around them..
There was no glamour..
It was so simple and serene that it didn't feel real..
Hiding nearby, he approaches the ghost bar and stabs it into the artery..
He grabbed the jaw and turned it, breaking the neck bone..
It was a nightmare.
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
“Hehehe!”
Ghost Valley did not stop the enemy's mouth..
On the contrary, sometimes they were kept alive so that the sound could be produced better..
crackle crackle!
Someone in the group in the dormitory was the first to tremble..
The jawbones made a sound as they hit each other..
The face visible above the mask was pale..
Ignorance becomes fear.
People are afraid of superstitions such as ghosts... … Because I didn't know.
I don't know what's going to happen and I can't do anything about it..
Ignorance and fear were themselves, a dormitory..
but not anymore.
The owner has changed.
didn't have the upper hand.
There is something but I can't see it.
There is but there is not.
Something intangible took my life.
I felt psychological pressure from the screams coming from all directions..
“why……?”
Peng Ziho and other Northern Shang soldiers were dumbfounded..
It was good to get help, but I couldn't understand the English text..
During the fight, the enemy suddenly fell down..
I was being chased by someone, but the chaser disappeared..
Some of the injured even received treatment..
“Who, who??”
“Where did the reinforcements come from??”
“Hey there.”
I asked what happened, but instead of answering, the ghost only told me the direction of retreat and disappeared..
“Is this a dream or reality?……”
“It's creepy..”
They were startled when the screaming continued, but they felt strange because no harm was done to them..
In my mind, I wanted to understand the situation better, but I realized that I was still alone and took a step forward..
Behind them was the sleeping room, and the screams of the Seven Star Soldiers could only be heard occasionally..
