Chapter 8

There were as many as twenty masters surrounding the Apostle Heavenly Lord..

All of them were talented people who were considered to be among the best in Sado Heaven..

“flaw!”

A sound of laughter flowed from the mouth of the Apostle Heavenly Father..

It's an obvious laugh.

“I can't help but laugh when I see how scared he is. Oh my, was I so scared that I did this as a group??”

Apostle Heaven openly provoked him, but no one was caught..

Everyone was on alert and didn't even move..

“So I should have run amok in moderation..”

A middle-aged man who radiated courage from his whole body like a well-honed sword spoke..

Judging by the wrinkles on his face, he was past middle age and was about to reach old age..

This is Galhongseok, the Ssangdomunju..

“The old generation will disappear and Sadocheon will walk a new path in the future..”

Naedanggeommunju, Cheolmu Myeong-hwan smiled grimly..

Among the housekeepers present, he was one of the younger ones..

Her skin was healthy and tanned, and her hair was short and spiky like grass, which stood out..

“They put you in the Eight Schools of Apostle because your skills are useful, but you show it as if you can do anything without even knowing the subject..”

The Apostles and Heavenly Father laughed as if they were no different..

Pokseomdomun is facing extinction, and the final winner of the struggle to fill the empty space is Naedangeommun..

“Okay, come. I will make every single one of you regret it..”

It started with a smile filled with cold anger..

The atmosphere around me calmed down and something changed..

It’s not at the level of being overwhelmed by the momentum of an absolute master..

It was a change in physical meaning..

My hair stands up on end..

My whole body feels heavy, as if I’m wearing several layers of iron armor..

Something was pressing hard on my shoulder..

The abnormal phenomenon did not stop there, but also affected the energy veins responsible for the circulation of internal energy..

The flow of fortune became sluggish, as if it was clogged with impurities..

“Ughhh!”

A groan came from the mouths of the masters..

“Path of defeat… … provide (制功))……!”

Although it is a name that can be deceived into thinking that it is martial arts, its power is close to divine power..

True to its name of suppressing and suppressing, if you master this martial art, you can control a certain area around you at will..

If you look at the principle or structure, it is simple..

By releasing a large amount of internal power accumulated inside the body to the outside, it manipulates the atmosphere to strengthen the body and weaken the opponent..

“Ughhh……!”

Lim Cho-geon had a hard time recalling bad memories from the past..

I hate this feeling of being out of control of my body..

“Is this the paedo offer I only heard about?……!”

Gal Hongseok let out a fake exclamation..

Even in a situation where the enemy was right in front of me, I couldn't hide my surprise as a warrior..

“khaap-!”

A person, or rather a catastrophic monster, attacked them..

Meanwhile, the situation in the outer cabinet, which was not the cabinet, was going hectic as hundreds of people were fighting together..

At first, the Quanzhou side was at an overwhelming disadvantage..

An attack is an attack, but morale was lower than expected..

But even for a short time, the situation changed drastically due to the appearance of the Gunggui Swordsman..

“Are you a master of flower scenery? That's right, I'm just a guy with no genealogy!”

Lee Jang-do raised his voice as if it was funny..

“The twin algae)!”

pababat!

The ten masters also lined up behind the village leader..

They were the elite of the Twin Blades, all of whom were peak masters..

Not only are they strong in martial arts, but they are martial artists who have been trained through countless battles that involve life and death..

“Even if Hwa-gyeong's grandfather comes, he cannot defeat the twins. I'll tear it to shreds with these molars..”

‘Let's go together……’

No wonder Lee Jang-do is so confident..

Ssangalangdae's reputation was quite high both in his past life and in his current life..

‘I need to work on my butt..’

If it's natural inaction, it may be enough to deal with it..

But now I have to act as a palace inspector..

I was a little nervous because I couldn't use the Hwasan Sword and had to defeat it with only the Manjung Sword..

However, I spoke confidently to appear calm to the anxious people behind me..

“Speaking of twins, there is no shortage of opponents for me..”

“Now I see that he was just a mouthy guy.!”

Lee Jang-do shouted in an absurd voice and threw himself away..

After that, ten members of the twin armies followed..

At first glance, it looks like it was rushed at random, but that is not the case at all..

If you look closely, it is positioned appropriately so that you can connect it..

pabababat!

Lee Jang-do's twin swords fell in the air, leaving an afterimage..

The swords flying in all directions are quite sharp..

“Hmm!”

There was a flurry of attacks, but it was not a threat..

I threw it all away without even rolling my eyes..

None of the attacks were successful, but Lee Jang-do didn't care at all..

On the contrary, he smiled a smile of conversion..

‘stupid guy!’

The reason I poured out all my strength from the beginning was not with the intention of defeating him..

It was for a tight siege of the Twin Arangdae..

“It's not too late now. Come under us. It's the last mercy.”

“we?”

“The Eight Gates of the Apostles, no, the Four Gates of the Apostles..”

Lee Jang-do spread his arms wide and smiled exaggeratedly..

“ha ha ha!”

Joo Seocheon laughed as if imitating Lee Jangdo..

“What's so funny?”

“done. Even if I told you, I wouldn't believe it anyway.”

Behind Sadosamun, there is Amcheonhoe..

I laughed because they didn't even know that and thought it was their world..

“You idiot. He gave me a chance to live and he kicked it away!”

Lee Jang-do raised his eyebrows fiercely..

That wrinkled face was distorted with anger..

“kill it!”

The sentence of execution was handed down..

The peak masters moved at the same time.

pabababat!

The sunlight reflecting on the island falls all at once..

There were two attacks per person instead of one, so a total of twenty attacks..

whirring!

In an attack aimed at only one place, Joo Seocheon jumped in place..

Swords crossed where he was..

‘stupid guy!’

Lee Jang-do laughed at Joo Seo-cheon..

Unless you have practiced Kunlun's Cloud Dragon and Eight Forms, you cannot freely change direction or move in the air..

Most of the drones are embarrassed by the simultaneous attacks, jump into the air, and die..

As if anticipating the opponent's movements, the Ssangalang team drew a vertical line upward with a natural flow like water..

It's not just a swing. pottery was loaded.

I raised my sword like dozens of salmon swimming up the river..

Lee Jang-do had no doubt that Ju Seo-cheon would be cut to pieces by numerous blades..

however……

“lower pressure!”

A burst of energy so powerful that it hits your eardrums..

Chae Jae Jae Chang!

“Huh, huh?”

Lee Jang-do’s eyes widened as if torn..

The strong shield surrounding the body blocked all of the twin swords..

Looking at the typification, the purity was not normal..

‘Oh no, that's ridiculous!’

I was so shocked that my body froze for a moment..

Plus it's not over yet.

Joo Seo-cheon, who must have used up a huge amount of internal energy for self-defense, swung his sword in the air..

Boom!

When the iron sword drew a semi-circle, half of the twins had already fallen outside, spattering blood..

‘no!’

The other half quickly took a defensive stance..

As if he wasn't an elite for nothing, his judgment was accurate and quick..

““Ugh!” “Tsk!”!”

Fatal injury was narrowly avoided..

I received the full impact of the heavy sword and ended up with only a little pain in my Danjeon..

The Ssangalang team member who initially allowed the attack struggled to stop the blood rushing from his neck and chest..

“Indeed, the twin sword method)!”

Joo Seo-cheon corrected the swing of his sword with both hands..

Most of Sapa's martial arts are vicious and aggressive..

However, the method of double-crossing is a bit different..

Whether it was right-handed or left-handed, one side was in charge of attack and the other side was in charge of defense, alternating between offense and defense..

It is a stable projection method..

“but!”

However, it is not a good match against heavy swords..

It might have been better to evade rather than defend..

It would have been difficult to block with both hands, but there was no way I could hold out if I tried to block with the dual swords distributed in both hands..

Joo Seocheon steps forward with his left foot..

I threw my arms and shoulders back and pulled back the iron sword held in both hands..

It's not all removed. Didn't even change posture.

I straightened my waist halfway and swung the iron sword with all my might..

Quagwagwagwagwa!

the air explodes.

The atmosphere is crushed and split..

Twice as much weight swallowed everything and attacked the enemies..

“Heheheok!”

I covered it with pottery, but it was meaningless..

I succeeded in blocking it, but my body was pushed and flew away along with the twin swords..

The same was true for the Ssang-Arang team members next to and behind him..

I was afraid it might not be a unit, so we were pushed together as if we shared a fate..

Paste.

I tried to hold on somehow by strengthening my lower body, but I couldn't hold on at all..

I heard the sound of my vertebrae breaking..

“Wow!”

The remaining half that survived also fell..

A cloud of dust rose as it rolled miserably on the floor..

“Well, that's so ignorant……!”

Nagak saw that and opened his mouth..

I've never heard of such martial arts..

While Joo Seo-cheon was surprised, he grabbed his iron sword, jumped up high enough to block the sun, and then struck down the sword..

Kuaaaaang!

It fell at high speed using the technique of a sword of all kinds..

It seemed like a mace fell, not a person..

The moment the iron sword struck the ground, the floor rose upside down, and the rocks below split and scattered..

A crack appeared like a spider web in a circle around the place where it fell..

There were no screams full of pain.

Without even having time to scream, he was struck by a falling sword and lost his life..

“That, like that……”

crackle crackle!

Lee Jang-do's pupils shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred..

My mouth was open and I didn't think about closing it..

The fingers holding the sword tried to open weakly, and my legs trembled as if my crooks were numb..

Ssangalangdae.

The elite that the recluse was proud of was wiped out in the blink of an eye..

It didn't cause any harm either..

I knew that Gungguigeomsu was an expert, but I never dreamed it would be to this extent..

“Heomi……”

A surprised voice came from someone..

And that voice soon turned into a roar that shook the heavens and the earth..

“Wow!”

Gunggui Swordsman! Gunggui Swordsman!”

“Long live Gungguigeomsu! Long live the Apostles and Heavenly Father!”

The allies cheered, the enemies were frustrated..

“let's go! Use this momentum to drive out your enemies!”

Joo Seocheon thought it was time to breathe in the rising heat..

He flew to Lee Jang-do in front of him in a surprise attack and delivered a blow..

“Wow!!”

Even though he is not a master of flower techniques, he still puts in his best effort..

There was no way I could stop it properly while I was scared..

The enemy soldiers, seeing that the elder of the Double Gate had been defeated in vain, bowed their necks and took a step back, while our allies pushed forward..

The battlefield was overturned in the blink of an eye..

“Follow the hero of Sapa!”

When someone shouts, 'Follow!' The words echoed across the battlefield like an echo..

As if to show a symbol, Ju Seo-cheon put away his sword for a moment and shot an arrow at the string..

There is a warrior belonging to the Sadocheon Headquarters Guard..

My name is Makdu and I will be turning 41 in a little while..

I was born in a country that wasn't even on the map and lived hungry..

My father lost his life in an accident while working on a difficult job, and my mother raised her children alone, fell ill, and passed away in despair..

Makdu, the eldest of the three daughters, had to feed his younger siblings, and when he realized that farming was not possible, he went to the rivers..

At first, he wandered around as a ronin, but luckily he was noticed by a warrior belonging to Sado Heaven and became his disciple..

I lived really hard.

In order to somehow feed my younger siblings, I filled my stomach with Byeokgokdan and focused on training..

Perhaps because of my hard work, I rose to the second rank before I turned 30. And by the time I turned 40, I had barely achieved first rank..

Even though it was late, we got married too..

As they say, there was a wife like a fox and a child like a rabbit..

However, the wife's health was not very good..

A few years ago, I suffered from anxiety and fell ill..

The face of a child who was at an age when he was at the peak of playing and laughing began to look worried and cry..

It reminded me of my mother who left after going through hardships..

I thought of my father who sacrificed himself and left..

I didn't want to let my first and last love go like this..

Instead of being dangerous, I was given a good mission..

But the cost of the medicine was really high..

Even if you tried to find Shinui, it was impossible as a warrior in Sadocheon's guard..

“Honey, I'm fine. The medicine costs a lot too.……”

The wife said she was okay and held my hand..

Since the child is still two years old, I told him to take care of himself..

My heart ached. I hated myself for being incompetent..

So I worked even harder to earn money..

I didn't want to let go of the person I was going to spend my whole life with..

Perhaps heaven was also impressed by Makdu's efforts, and his wife's illness gradually began to improve..

The child also started laughing.

Light has just begun to come into the home..

The misfortune is over and it's time to be happy.

I thought that way four days ago..

A libertarian named Damribaek attacked along with Yasumun, Suljinmun, Ssangdomun, and Naedangeommun..

That number is several times higher..

I don't think I can win.

But I couldn't back down because my wife and children came to mind..

launched a counterattack.

Hemostasis of blood in bird feet).

No matter how indomitable the will, there were limits..

The moment I gave up wondering if I was going to die like this.

“let's go! Use this momentum to chase away your enemies.!”

A master has appeared. No, a hero has appeared.

He was not a character who would only appear in hero magazines..

It was not a noble battle with any ideology..

Just self-interest.

Although he only participated in a civil war that started out of desire, he seemed like a hero enough to Makdu..

“Follow the hero of Sapa!”

Gungguigeomsu. He remembered the name clearly and picked up the sword..

The guards, who had been contemplating running away just a moment ago, let out a passionate shout for the first time..

I wiped the blood flowing from my forehead, stopped the bleeding from the scar on my back, and swung the knife while screaming..

Starting with Makdu, Sado-cheon warriors launch a counterattack..

Although the number of people was small, they did not pay any attention to it and showed their enthusiasm..

Damribaek's raiding party, who had been gleefully thinking that they had won the battle just a moment ago, was taken aback by the momentum and was pushed back..

“you idiots!”

Purple veins popped out on Nagak’s forehead..

“It's a battle we've already won, so what if we run away?!”

“You won? That's what you hear when you look at that.!”

A first-class warrior shouted while pointing at the cold body of a Ssangalang member..

“How stupid! Didn't you see the fight just now? Even though it is said that the swordsman of the palace is a hwagyeong, his strength is not infinite. You must be exhausted now, since you overused your self-defense techniques earlier.!”

As the brain of Sapa, his commanding and speaking skills are quite good..

Those who tried to run away stopped at Nagak's words..

“The proof is that you put down your sword now and shoot your bow.!”

surely……

Morale, which had been falling after the counterattack, began to rise again thanks to Nagak's words..

‘If you leave here, it's over..’

Now that I'm in charge of this place, I can't step down..

Even if a civil war is won, little goes to the loser..

This is especially true for those in charge..

I couldn't miss this opportunity to become an apostolic recluse after a long time and escape from the poor treatment I had been receiving..

Above all, what I just said wasn't bragging..

In fact, I was sure that the gungwigeomsu was exhausted..

Nagak put his hands together as if making a fist..

Thanks to the large barrel and long sleeves, the hand seal was not visible..

This is a trick.

Suljinmun is skilled in magic and magic..

Nagak was particularly good at magic..

“Guijin Park (鬼晉博))!”

An unpleasant haze flowed from his body..

The so-called evil spirit spewed out and swirled..

The snake that was creating a large whirlwind eventually split into several strands and spread out, carrying Ju Seo-cheon's body..

“Haha, how are you?!”

Guijinbak is a technique that prevents the body from moving..

But it doesn't work for those who are full of bets..

If you are an expert, there is no need to worry..

The chances of success were low unless you were really tired..

“……”

Joo Seo-cheon did not move with his arrow on the string..

Nagak saw that and laughed out loud as if bragging..

“Hahaha, you idiot. He said he was exhausted, but he had to move. If you treat the bow like a ghost... … Ugh!”

Pigeon!

The arrow left the string and grazed Nagak's cheek..

A thin red line was drawn and drops of blood fell..

“Tsk.”

Joo Seocheon frowned as if he didn't like it..

“Is Suljinmunju called Suljinmunju? It's definitely not normal..”

When it comes to archery, it is Ju Seo-cheon who once reached the level of a hundred people..

There is no reason to stray from him..

I tried to catch Nagak off guard and kill him by sniping him, but an error occurred due to Guijinbak's influence..

“Okay, then how about this?!”

While Nagak was making a dumbfounded expression, he took out all the arrows in his quiver, hung them on his strings, and fired upwards..

The five stars rose high as if about to drop the sun, and then fell on Nagak's head..

“It's dangerous!”

The guard, Yasumundo, rushed forward and knocked away the arrow..

Not one, but three came together to block them all..

‘I'm fine?’

Suljinmunju’s complexion turned as white as a sheet of paper..

The fact that it doesn't work means you're not tired..

I wondered how on earth it was possible to do that..

In Nagak’s eyes, Ju Seo-cheon looked like a monster, not a person..

“alcohol, gin, moon, liquor!”

Joo Seo-cheon shouted, interrupting each word as if he was deliberately asking people to listen..

It was truly the voice of the grim reaper..

Taat!

Thigh muscles swell.

My energy gushed out with Yongcheonhyeol..

The body bent and bounced like a bow..

“Don't stop it!”

Nagak shouted in an urgent voice..

Even the warriors of Yasumundo, Ssangdaomundo, and Naedangeonmun came forward..

The guards alone were over thirty, but numbers were meaningless in front of Ju Seocheon..

He charged like a wild boar and swung his iron sword..

The iron sword exerted earth-shattering power in proportion to its weight and speed..

A scream erupted from the terrifying destructive power..

“Argh!” “Ahhhh!”

There were some who fell just from the wind pressure of the sword they swung, but that was better..

Those who held out until the end had their bodies cut in two, regardless of whether they were second-class or first-class..

Nagak, who saw a thick fog of blood forming in front of his eyes, was astonished and was unable to launch a proper counterattack..

‘My, my history! Yes, it's history.!’

Nagak remembered something in a crisis..

He pretended to be scared and prepared a secret trick..

The monster flies straight ahead, leaving behind a storm..

As if a meteor shower had passed, the surrounding area was devastated..

‘Reverse grenade)!’

It is a technique that uses the opponent's internal strength to bounce them back..

However, the moment had to be right, and even if the technique was successful, there were various side effects..

Above all, it had to reach a higher level, and the practitioner's own internal energy consumption was severe, so it was not used often..

But is now the time to consider them one by one?.

I had to rescue Myeongjul, who was right in front of the Grim Reaper..

‘come!’

People show their wits in times of crisis.

Nagak used a grenade to perfectly match Joo Seocheon's attack..

“Okay… … Wow!”

Unbelievable!

I don't know how many times I've been surprised already..

But I have never been more shocked than at this moment..

“How… … west……?”

I confirmed that it was coming at full speed..

It was only a split second that I decided to use the back grenade, so there was almost no chance of anyone noticing it..

However, for some reason, Ju Seo-cheon withdrew his strength and stretched out his hand right before he approached, as if he had expected it..

“baby… … In seconds... … how… … crab……”

Nagak held his neck and squeezed out his voice..

There was a hint of puzzlement in that voice that I didn't want to hear..

It's not at the level of being noticed or anything..

He acted as if he knew of the existence of back grenades..

As mentioned, the conditions for counter grenades are so strict that they are not often used in medical examinations, so no information is available..

“Because I knew.”

Joo Seocheon grinned..

The sword he was holding in both hands was moved to his left hand, and his right hand holding his neck gained strength..

Okay!

Suljinmunju Nagak broke his neck and fell limp without even being able to solve the biggest question..

“Unbelievable……”

“Suljinmunju is dead……?”

“Nagak is dead!”

Nagak was in overall command of the attack from outside..

The remaining lords of the three gates and the masters who were capable of commanding them were entrusted to him for the sake of the union of Sado Heavenly Order..

However, Nagak, the general commander, was unable to exert any special strength and collapsed in vain in the middle of the friendly forces..

‘As expected, you used a grenade..’

Joo Seo-cheon stabbed Nagak in the chest and killed him..

There are magic spells that can save your life, so you had to be careful..

‘It was during the civil war.?’

I don't remember who it was, but the leader of the faction overexerted himself and was killed by a back grenade..

At that time, the political faction was winning against the Sa faction, but unfortunately, they lost their command and suffered the reverse..

It's literally a grenade.

The hardships of that time remained in my memory, so I was fortunate to have made it through at the end just in case..

“Suljinmunju Nagak was killed by Na Gunggwigeomsu.!”

Ju Seo-cheon shouted while showing a blood-stained sword..

“Wow!”

The shouts of Sadocheon warriors grew louder..

It hit my eardrums like thunder striking a dry sky..
