Chapter 11
A bounty was placed on Ju Seo-cheon's head between Jeokrim Island..
“I'm dying!”
The name of Maehwa Jeonggeom is by no means low..
The fact that Jangdu was easily defeated right before my eyes proved that..
However, wealth sometimes dulls a person's fear and objective judgment..
“Phew……”
take a breath.
The lungs inhale and exhale air.
I clenched my fingers holding the sword tightly..
The blue veins around my wrists popped out..
The upper arm muscles trembled as if dancing..
The aftereffects of power that started in the stomach stirred once, then traveled around every corner of the body and returned to their original position..
Taat!
look straight ahead.
Seven Jeokrimdo were seen..
Blinded by excessive wealth, I could even see red bloodshot veins..
It's a movement that feels like it's moving slowly on purpose..
But it wasn't moving slowly on purpose..
Joo Seocheon’s body was abnormal..
Starting with body vision, situational judgment, and nerve bundles transmitted from the brain to the muscles, all levels vary..
By the time I came to my senses, the body had arrived in the arms of seven people outside the workplace..
‘There's no need to spread the herbivorous diet..’
Most people are not good at it.
The level was higher than that of the bandits in Daehochae, but it was still there..
The twenty-four plum sword method is like killing a chicken with a knife used to kill a cow..
So I swung my sword without thinking too much about it..
“uh?”
Jeokrimdo, who was in the lead among the seven, opened his eyes wide..
‘how?’
It was clearly outside the work chapter..
However, when I closed my eyes and opened them, Joo Seocheon disappeared and appeared right in front of me..
I was so shocked that I didn't even have time to swing the sword in my hand..
There are only questions left in my head..
“one.”
As he murmurs, Ju Seocheon's sword draws a thin line..
It's a frighteningly clear horizon..
“Bent!”
Jeoklimdo, who expressed doubt, grabbed his neck..
The hand turned red in an instant..
“Me, crazy!”
The remaining six people responded immediately..
Not only did the target disappear and appear to emerge from the ground, but it also took one person's life in an instant..
They each waved the weapons in their hands to respond to the approaching threat..
nettle!
The sword fell on Joo Seocheon’s head..
“two three.”
Step with your left foot and make it the center of the axis..
Pretending to move forward, he made a half turn to avoid the attack..
It's not just about avoiding.
I drew a semicircle with the sword in my right hand..
It was a beautiful movement like flowing water..
“Heheheok!”
Jeokrimdo screamed..
The last thing he saw was his detached lower body..
As my upper body disappeared, I could see Jeoklim Island right next to me..
Seeing his eyes widen, he seems quite surprised..
net-liquid!
A terrifying sound broke out..
The sword that drew a semicircle stabbed towards Jeoklimdo right next to it..
‘where!’
Jeokrimdo took a step back as if it was impossible..
It was the first time since I swore to heaven that I had reacted and moved so quickly..
But unfortunately the opponent was not good..
I succeeded in escaping from the range of the sword, but I could not avoid the sword energy that spewed out from the sword..
“Ugh, ugh.!”
A hole appeared from the center of the chest to the back..
I was hit in an instant before I could block it..
“……!”
As three of the seven were defeated in an instant, the four following them stopped and hesitated..
The greed that dominated their thoughts faded, and instead the death of a former colleague came to mind..
“seven.”
pabababat!
It wasn't the usual fancy swordfish..
It was just a random swing..
However, it was enough to end the life of Jeokrimdo, whose body was frozen with fear..
Joo Seo-cheon moved among them and quickly swung his sword, and all of them fell without even a single protest..
“Ugh.”
“Deal with that monster?”
“It's not even visible to the eye!”
The fear that had disappeared among Jeokrim Island rose again..
Only then did my paralyzed sense of reason return..
The desire that was so exciting also cooled down..
“I completely understand how you feel. There is no answer?”
Joo Seocheon paused for a moment and grinned..
Memories of my past life bloomed brightly..
There was a time when I almost died after meeting an outrageous expert..
At first glance, it seems questionable whether they can survive, let alone win..
I thought you were tired, but you weren’t..
I was going to lose anyway, and since we were at different levels, I wanted to leave it to someone else..
“So let’s not be stubborn and surrender.”
I meant it..
What if Green Dragon Chae was at its usual strength? There was no hope right now..
“gibberish!”
Debt stockholders intervened..
‘If you surrender, you die..’
He dies not from Joo Seo-cheon, but from Maeng Kang..
The head creditor entrusted the command..
If you can't control it properly, you won't die well..
“Seeing as he was trying to accept the surrender without fighting, he must have been tired. My strength will soon be low..”
“If I'm tired, I'll call you brother..”
“Ouch! It's not too late! surrender!”
“I'm saying shit.”
Joo Seocheon was so ridiculous that he laughed..
“Okay, that worked out just fine..”
Debt stockholders were more troublesome than expected..
At least it looks like he didn't get that seat by trading it in..
Startle!
‘It’s okay, did it happen for no reason??’
The distance is closer than I thought.
The strength of the punitive force was beyond imagination..
‘Are you really tired??’
First of all, I made a rant, but even after saying it, I feel anxious..
I didn't break a sweat and my breathing was stable..
There was no scratch, let alone injury..
‘Shit. need to take time.’
I had to hold on somehow until the back door was resolved..
In his mind, Jeoklim Chongchaeju was the best expert in the world..
It was like a people waiting for a charlatan to appear..
‘But how on earth can you waste time??’
I was worried that my morale would drop, so I was pretending to be okay, but in reality, I was crying on the inside..
Hwasan's sword and Tang family's dokdo are not easy..
Even the new power, Geumuigeommun, was not ordinary..
‘Ah, the head bondholder.!’
My legs were shaking a little.
For some reason, tears came to my eyes..
I felt my morale falling more and more..
“Juseocheeoeouheon―!”
It was then.
The moment I couldn't see ahead, the voice I had been waiting for rang throughout the mountain..
It was truly a voice of salvation..
The shadow on the debtor's face disappeared in an instant..
Instead, there was a bright light and confidence..
“Chief creditor!”
It was Maeng Gang who gave up the back gate and joined Nokyongchae..
“Those idiots!”
Meng Gang was angry when he saw the situation on the battlefield..
I sent half of it, but only half of it is left..
In contrast, although there were minor injuries in the punitive force, there were no serious injuries..
‘Okay, as I thought..’
Joo Seocheon’s eyes narrowed..
‘I was wondering what would happen if someone noticed, but it passed safely..’
Meng Gang is one of the world's greatest masters, and he is also at the level of Hwagyeong..
Even if you don't know much about the system, you can get a general sense of it..
I wouldn't know it if my brain was made of muscles, but my brain was also unusual, so I was anxious about reading numbers..
If he hadn't noticed and divided his efforts, it might have been a harder fight than expected..
It didn't matter to me, but the members of the subjugation team didn't at all..
No matter how many bandits there are, if that many people come at you, there will never be a small amount of damage..
“He is the head creditor.!”
“It's support!”
The appearance of a master gives strength and reassurance just by his presence..
The morale that had fallen through hard work soared again..
‘Jeokrim vegetable stock, Maenggang’
He was a man I liked in many ways..
One day, he suddenly appeared in a mountain village and showed great inaction..
It didn't take long to become the Green Dragon Chaeju..
Above all, it was not only martial arts that was extraordinary..
Even though he was a mountaineer, he had considerable knowledge..
The transformation of Nokyongchae, which was just a large mountain vegetable, into something reminiscent of a castle, also came from Maeng Gang's brain..
However, even though he was only a military man, Meng Gang was unknown..
His whereabouts before appearing at the mountain lodge were unknown..
Something was strange, so I investigated separately, but nothing was clearly revealed..
I was still in limbo.
Even when I searched for memories of my past life, nothing came out..
It's not that I couldn't remember, but there was no information..
Perhaps because it was a Jeoknim 18-chae that was exploited to the fullest, it was not considered important and was rarely mentioned in the history of the war..
Meng Gang in question also died during the war..
‘I don't know anything else, but martial arts is not average..’
The stormy murderous intent coupled with the anger boiling like lava was evidenced..
“Ju Seocheon, Zhuge Succession.”
Meng Gang muttered a name he had heard seven years ago..
“Me, why am I calling you?”
The Zhuge Dynasty was terrified among the warriors of the Jinui Sword Gate..
“You have come to seek revenge from seven years ago.!
I can't believe the shit that Yukdaerang made caused such a nuisance... … Once this fight is over, I'll take his body out of the Yangtze River and kill him again..”
Just thinking about that still makes my teeth grind together..
Originally, this should have been dealt with quietly, but instead, it attracted the attention of the entire martial arts community..
As a result, the radius of activity of Jeoklim Eighteen Houses has narrowed considerably..
And it was also a problem that the Hwasan faction and the Zhuge family fought..
If you encounter a disciple of the Huashan Sect or a blood relative of the Zhuge family in Jianghu, you must be prepared to die or run away at all cost..
It seems like there is a lot of resentment built up, and even if you try to run or hide, they are persistent in pursuing you..
Although a large-scale punitive force was not formed or a war broke out, the damage incurred during that time was significant..
“I'll kill you.”
Maeng Kang’s eyes sparkled with murderous intent..
The punitive force, which had raised its morale on the brink of victory, became very nervous and hesitated at the appearance of Meng Gang..
Joo Seocheon's eyes glanced at Maenggang, who had taken a step forward..
It had a skeletal structure that was comparable to that of Paengga's sacrum, and its broad shoulders and connected arms were as thick as logs..
Since he wasn't wearing a top, his muscles were clearly visible, and it felt like I was looking at steel that a craftsman had put a lot of effort into smelting..
“execution.”
Joo Seo-cheon called out to Jang Hong with his eyes fixed on Meng Gang..
“I will take care of the seed bond myself, so please ask for the rest..”
“Priests.”
Jang Seo-eun answered instead of Jang Hong..
A face as hard as stone is very serious..
“I know that the priest's inaction is not normal. However, the opponent is Maeng Kang, the master of Jeoklim Chongchae, the world's greatest expert..”
Meng Gang was not at a level where he could do anything with the distribution of the four major disciples..
He had a lot of martial arts skills, internal skills, and experience..
He was not at the end of the world's greatest masters, and Meng Gang was already a notorious master throughout the Central Plains..
No matter how strong the Maeng Gang was in the political faction or the Sa faction, there were more than one person who looked down on him and said that he was nothing more than a thief..
Jang Hong next to me also shook his head up and down in agreement..
While touring the river, I was sick of its notoriety..
“it's okay. Do not worry.”
“but……”
“Above all, your brother and sister-in-law know that you are not relaxed enough to stick to Maeng Gang right now.?”
“Okay.”
When Maeng Gang came, he brought about 30 people with him..
Even though the punitive force looks fine on the outside, it is not on the inside..
I had already expended a lot of my stamina and energy fighting against a force that was twice as strong, so I was approaching my limit..
In this situation, it is fatal for the maximum strength to lose two or three people..
‘ha!’
Jang Hong was distressed by the fact that he had to leave everything on the shoulders of the priest he had grown up with since childhood..
“be careful.”
Jang Seo-eun also seemed to feel guilty, and her expression was not good..
“yes.”
Short answers and steps taken without hesitation.
That back looks unusually wide.
“are you okay.”
Nak So-wol smiled slightly, telling people to be at ease..
“Because the death penalty is stronger than we imagine..”
There was firm trust in her eyes..
With those words, the punitive force and Jeokrimdo clashed again..
There was no change in tactics.
Maehwageommun was at the forefront, and Tangga and Geumuigeommun moved around to provide support..
The plum blossom examination performed by Jang Hong, Jang Seo-eun, and Nak So-wol pierced the opponents by fluttering like falling plum blossoms and sometimes exuding anticipation like a sword..
“Ahhhh!”
“How stupid! Stay in your place! If we come together, we survive!”
Debt stocks were more enthusiastic than expected.
He was good at conducting and somehow resisted the plum blossom examination..
The bandits of Nokryongchae were stronger than expected..
Unlike ordinary bandits, they formed a formation according to orders..
“Zhuge Xiaoxiao!”
Tang Hye turned her head..
“Juktongno, haircut (two cuts))!”
pabababat!
With the shout of Zhuge Succession, an arrow was fired..
It was aimed at the formation gathered to fight against the plum blossom screening..
“Ahh!”
“Avoid!”
Jeoklimdo, which was just about to gather, screamed and flew away..
Some bounced back, but only a few.
Hwasanpa, Tangga, Jinyigeommun, and Zhuge Dynasty.
For a hastily constructed structure, its power was frightening..
Joo Seocheon and Maeng Gang looked at each other..
There was a tension that weighed heavily on the air between the two warriors..
Even when the sound of weapons clashing against each other was heard nearby, he did not even lift an eyebrow or move..
The pupils do not tremble at all and look at the other person calmly..
He was determined not to miss even the slightest movement..
‘Just looking at it, you might think the head is made of muscles, but that doesn't seem to be the case..’
Meng Gang didn’t move a single step..
Just like Mount Tai, it stood firm in front of my eyes and sent out murderous intent..
It's not just standing there either..
There was not a single gap visible in the body..
I was prepared to respond no matter how I moved..
“This is the milky-smelling child of the political faction. Was I scared??”
It was Maeng Kang who broke the silence first..
“I heard that volcanic waves aren't what they used to be, but it was true. Haha, so seven years ago I got scared and ran away..”
eat.
Rather than being caught in the provocation, Joo Seocheon laughed..
“Menggang. Where did the momentum to kill you earlier go??”
Meng Gang erased the sneer on his lips and hardened his expression..
“Menggang. If you really thought I was nothing, you should have attacked me a long time ago. But while you are on guard, you even make a strange provocation... … Are you scared??”
“It's really fun to think that in just a little bit that arrogant tongue will turn into a plea for help..”
Contrary to his relaxed tone, Meng Gang's expression was not very good..
Blue blood vessels protruded on my forehead..
‘I thought I was lucky enough to be famous, but that wasn't the case..’
How to recognize a cilantro.
I noticed that even the external appearance of swordsmanship was not normal..
‘Is it a peak that is close to the flower scene??’
The guess was obviously wrong, but considering Joo Seo-cheon's age, it is not strange. On the contrary, it is normal.
“Come, baby.”
Grumble
Meng Gang drew his sword..
A pure white sword body appeared, reflecting the sun's rays, but the fierce anticipation showed that it was no ordinary sword..
It is a type of weapon that is rare to find among bandits..
Most Jeokrimdo uses bu (芹), sword (刀), or spear (槍)..
‘Geomsanjeong (劍山征))’
A nameless drone that appears to rise from the ground..
The warrior conquered Noklimchae one after another with just a sword..
“Whoop!”
Taat!
Joo Seocheon kicked the ground..
It looked like he was slightly floating, but his footprints were dented where he was standing..
Joo Seo-cheon, who ran like a gale, increased his internal strength greatly..
I was planning on finishing it right from the beginning..
This moment is an opportunity when you have not yet shown your inaction in front of Meng Gang..
The more you exchange offense and defense, the more the enemy becomes alert, so it was better to put all your effort into it rather than use it in pointless exploration..
‘1 second!’
I run straight ahead and extend my sword..
As the atmosphere was split in two, a terrifying sound broke out..
net-liquid!
The sword play that showed the thrust of the whole body was performed straightly..
The tip was aimed precisely at Meng Gang's eyebrows..
“Inhale!”
Maeng Gang took a deep breath and flushed..
As if surprised by the speed beyond my expectations, I saw his eyes become the size of a flower lantern..
At that moment, Joo Seocheon turned around..
The attack that was intended to strike with fierce force disappeared in the blink of an eye..
Originally, it was impossible..
It wasn't a one-hal or two-hal attack, it was a stab with almost all of its power..
Normally, the sudden change in flow would have caused the air and veins to flow backwards and explode..
However, Hwasanpa's new method and method of footwork, Sinhaengbaekbyeon, made it possible because it was researched and modified to withstand such changes..
Commands sent from the brain rapidly change the flow of energy..
There is no problem with the muscles, Qi or blood vessels..
It naturally connected and gave off normal power..
Whirling!
I turned half a circle using my diagonally stepped left foot as the axis..
Not only did it come to a sudden stop while running at full speed, but it also changed direction, but its posture was stable..
Martial arts is something that ignores the law of power to a certain extent through the power of internal energy. It showed its true value.
The moment your body turns exactly halfway, step forward with your right foot..
I felt the muscles in my back turning..
net - liquid!
The Wolosam Sword, supported by pure strength and internal energy, let out a sharp sound as the fetus cut the air in half..
‘Alas!’
Maeng Gang clicked his tongue. In her dark-colored eyes, the sword of Zhou Xitian was captured..
I could see the hem of the haze thinly wrapping the sword body..
The days are longer than they actually are because they contain sword energy..
had to move faster.
I'm glad you're on the defensive..
A fleeting moment that felt like eternity comes back.
As the slowly moving sword came aiming at his side, leaving an afterimage, Maeng Gang urgently moved the sword to his waist..
Chaeaeaeang-!
As the sword clashed with the sword, a friction sound was emitted..
As if the aftereffects were significant, the sound stretched and hit my eardrums..
“Ugh!”
A groan came out of Meng Gang’s mouth first..
The face was horribly distorted..
Joo Seocheon’s expression wasn’t very good either..
I felt a lot of regret..
I aimed for the side, but failed to inflict a fatal wound..
Before it went completely in, Meng Gang's sword narrowly blocked it..
But I won the battle of swordsmanship..
As soon as the swords collided, Meng Gang's sword was pushed inward..
Because of that, he ended up hurting himself with his own sword..
It was not at the level of a scratch on the skin, but the trained muscles were nicked, causing a wound of about 3 cm..
“Damn you bastard……!”
Meng River was seething with anger..
The fierceness he had been expressing all at once came out in his voice like an explosion..
‘Tsk. It's a shame.’
If it had been a sword and not a sword, I might have cut it to pieces with a sword..
But then the initial rotation is delayed.
No matter how much you have become able to use strong energy at will, there is a difference in speed compared to using sword energy..
Haven't you already felt how amazing Meng Gang's reaction speed is?.
If it had been a sword, I might not have been able to wear this sword..
If the opponent had been different, it would have been a powerful enough blow, but unfortunately, Meng Gang was an expert in flower techniques..
“Stop cursing.!”
Joo Seocheon held his swords together and struck with only his left hand..
It was not an ordinary funeral, but a poisonous funeral..
“her!”
Meng Gang instinctively felt threatened and retreated..
If I had been a little late, I would have been poisoned..
Joo Seocheon also took advantage of the opportunity to take a few steps back and readjust his stance..
“……”
Meng Gang lowered his gaze..
I saw that the weeds I had stepped on just now had turned black..
The poison released from the palm lost its target and floated in the air before being absorbed by the grass blades on the ground..
“What is it??”
Joo Seo-cheon was the first to catch what Maeng Gang was going to say..
“This is just an inspection of an ordinary volcanic wave that was passing by..”
Maeng Kang stopped the bleeding by pressing the acupuncture point..
“common? gibberish!”
A disciple of the Hwasan faction, known as the righteous faction, and the sword faction of the nine factions, used a single sword..
This is a part that cannot be overlooked..
It's not an ordinary poison either, it looks like a deadly poison at first glance..
In fact, it was just an ignorant sheep's internal energy that was converted into poison using the Green Eye Man Poison Ball, but there was no way for him to know that fact..
“Ha, the hypocrites of the political faction are finally showing their true colors.!”
Jeong Pa-in is reluctant to use poison..
Even if it meant life or death, it was considered a shame to use it..
“Stop talking, how can you only say stereotypical things?!”
Joo Seocheon shouted as if he was sick of it..
Taat!
I threw myself away again.
This time I didn't try to pack everything in at once..
First, I lightly lost a second..
