◈Episode 686.
Burning Mountain (4)
Phuwaaagh!
Red blood is scattered on the ground.
Wolves climbing up the front of Cheongmokae’s cliffs. Wolves quickly approaching from the left and right, climbing the walls.
Their number was over five hundred.
Moreover, each one of them was covered in dark red uniforms, making them look much larger than an average adult male.
‘many.’
Dong-kwon’s eyes were shaken by Jong-nam’s president.
‘There are many and strong. Where on earth do these guys come from?’
Easy profit! Whoops!
Several swordsmen fired sword energy towards the cliff.
As the wall collapsed, three Hyeolrang members fell.
Dong-kwon shouted.
“Don’t aim for the wall! “If the wall breaks, it will actually be disadvantageous for us!”
Ugh!
As soon as Dong-gwon finished speaking, about a dozen members of the Hyeolrang troupe stepped on the broken cliff and came up at great speed.
The movement was truly amazing. It may be said that they are reminiscent of beasts,
but not everyone who has learned the best martial arts can show such movements, and it seems that Hyeolrangdan was fundamentally trained to be able to move easily even in this type of terrain.
Chaaaang!
This was when Dong-kwon, who had drawn his sword, was about to slash it at them.
Fuuuuuuuu!!
Suddenly, with a strong explosion, something huge flew over the cliffs of Cheongmokae.
Dong-kwon’s eyes wavered.
‘wire netting?!’
As many as three large wire meshes were flying in, big enough to cover a dozen square footage. The speed was extremely fast, as if it had been fired from a cannon.
What was eerie was the material that made up the wire mesh.
It is much thinner and denser than regular wire mesh. Because it was night, I couldn’t see clearly. It was difficult to find it on a dark night unless you had the eyesight and sensitivity of an expert at climax.
‘It has to be cut!’
It was at the moment when Dong-gwon was about to implement the Seongra Sword Technique.
Flash!
The red light net seemed to be blazing, and three heavy rays of wind were aimed at the center of each wire net.
pop! pop! pop!
Changpung exploded with a loud noise. Then, the three wire meshes that were fired rotated on the spot and flew away into the distance.
Dong-kwon looked back.
Hwang Seok-tae said while retracting his Red Dragon Spear.
“Do not try to cut the net carelessly! “You have to block access by pushing it out or blowing it up!”
He spent more than half of his life participating in group warfare. I knew from experience how tough that type of wire mesh was.
Dong-kwon asked.
“Can’t it be cut with a sword?!”
“If you don’t know that, don’t cut it! “If you’re not careful, they can attack you even if you’re cut off!”
Dong-kwon immediately understood Hwang Seok-tae’s words.
‘You made a mistake.’
Heukdo Sapa greatly developed this kind of memorization. Some were even more vicious than memorizing Tang songs.
All I could say was that it was a mistake to try to deal with something like that using common sense. Dong-kwon came to his senses.
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
A powerful force was fired above the cliff of Cheongmokae.
Even as the cliff shook, there was no movement of the members of the Hyeolrangdan climbing the cliff. Their movement of climbing up the wall like a spider was worthy of being called another miracle.
“It has begun.”
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes sparkled.
Although it is said to be a cliff, Cheongmokae was not very high. An experienced, top-class expert would be able to climb the mountain for a few sips of tea without being stopped by anyone.
The reason why Hyeolrangdan’s climb was prevented to this extent was because of the threatening swordsmanship of the Jongnam swordsmen.
But now the battle has changed.
‘With this level of tension, it is not lacking compared to Jongnam’s elder level.’
Where Hwang Seok-tae was looking, three masters were gathered together.
It is difficult to guess its level as it is exquisitely mixed in with the fierce spirit of the blood troupe. However, Hwang Seok-tae’s keen eye could see that the three of them were the leaders of the Five Hundred Blood Corps.
And they are shaking up the response here with their fierce tactics in the air.
Puff poop!
Even as it burrows into the gaps between blood vessels, it shoots out tension moment by moment, shaking up my Jongnam’s examination.
“profit!”
Dong-kwon swung his sword wildly.
Flash!
It seems as if a group of stars from the night sky have been brought down to the ground. A net of shining sword energy was shot into the center of the blood troupe.
At that time, a huge sword made an overwhelming move.
bang!
The sword energy of the Seongra sword disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Dong-kwon’s eyes widened.
It is difficult to figure out who is who in the flock of wolves. However, there was a powerful master within him, and his sword qigong was scattered in an instant.
‘Unbelievable!’
It didn’t end there.
Does this mean that if you receive something, you should also give something in return?
Flash!
A large spear was fired into the air.
I was so dazed that I couldn’t even tell where it came from. What was clear was that the power and speed of the flying javelin were enormous.
“bout!”
Ojangro Shinhyu struck down the flying javelin using the Cheondunjangbeop (天遁掌法).
Pow!
Shinhyu’s eyes widened.
I thought I had hit the javelin and sent it flying away, but that wasn’t the case.
The short spear, whose direction was only slightly deviated, was lodged in the abdomen of one of the swordsmen waiting at the rear. The prosecutor groaned and fell down.
‘this…!’
It had incredible penetrating power.
It was common knowledge that the faster an object moves, the easier it is to change its orbit with less force. But that pike was different. Because it was so fast and armed with such powerful power, its orbit was not greatly shaken by the power of the Cheondunjangbeop.
The faces of the prosecutors waiting at the rear were bewildered.
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“Pull the wounded back! Do not panic! This is a battlefield! “Recognize clearly that no matter when something happens, it’s not strange!”
Hwang Seok-tae’s sonorous voice awakened the hearts of the prosecutors.
A colleague has been fatally injured, but you should not panic. I had to control my anger and suppress my sadness.
“Control your mind! “The moment it shakes, it’s over!”
Hwang Seok-tae, who encouraged the prosecutors with a sincere shout, looked at Dong-kwon.
Hwang Seok-tae nodded slightly.
Dong-kwon shouted.
“Yongyin (龍吟)!”
Slurp!
A path opened in the center of the widely spread out camp, and middle-aged Taoist monks appeared.
Flash! Pow!
A Taoist monk was knocked down by a javelin fired as if he had been waiting. A large spear remained stuck in the fallen Taoist’s chest.
Dong-kwon gritted his teeth and shouted.
“Get out!!”
The middle-aged Taoists waved their hands.
Beep!
With a cool, sharp sound of metal, dozens of daggers were shot in a curved line toward the center of the cliff.
The direction in which the hand is swung is diagonal, but the dagger fired is curved and flies into the center of the cliff. It was a cancer technology that was hard to believe even after seeing it.
Burbubbubbuk!
Fifteen Hyeolrang members fell down screaming.
There were more than tens of thousands of enemies climbing the cliff. If there are fifteen of them, it may not be a big deal.
But the attack did not end with that one attack.
“next!”
The middle-aged Taoist monks who had thrown the dagger left and other Taoist monks took their place.
“Get out!”
Beep!
More daggers were shot all over the cliff than before.
Burbubbuk! Whoops!
About twenty enemies fell down again. Half of them did not die, but half of them had daggers stuck in their spines or the nape of their necks, causing instant death.
A glint appeared in Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes.
‘It’s considerable.’
He was a martial artist named Yongeumbi (龍吟匕) of Jongnam. It was characterized by a cool sound made when a dagger with three holes in the center of the blade flew and an attack power whose direction was difficult to predict.
Gupailbang was a treasure trove of numerous martial arts. There were sects like Jongnam who possessed secret martial arts, and there were also masters who practiced poisonous techniques, although few people learned them.
They usually do not reveal the martial arts they have learned, but in situations like this, they were able to perform better than anyone else.
‘It would have been better if it had been poisoned.’
Hwang Seok-tae, who heard about the Dragoneumbisu, recommended Guyun to apply poison to the bisu.
But Guyun refused it.
‘Just because it’s an emergency doesn’t mean you can’t apply poison to it. It may seem frustrating to you, but that is our line.’
It was just as Guyun said. Hwang Seok-tae was frustrated with them. In a battlefield where life and death could be the difference, not using poison for the sake of respect was clearly an empty stomach.
At the same time, he understood Gu Yun’s words. I understood the word line.
They are strong because they stick to their own firm principles even in times of crisis. All of the old factions were like that, and there was a faction like that in Heukdo as well.
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“Banjin again!”
Faba Park!
All of the Taoists who had thrown daggers retreated to the rear, and the open center of the camp was filled with swordsmen again.
It was then.
Pippi Piping!!
Dozens of fire arrows were fired from the rear of Hyeolrangdan.
Dong-kwon and Shinhyu’s eyes wavered.
“this!”
They were taken aback and tilted their heads for a moment.
The fiery arrow was not fired at the prosecutor on the cliff. Rather, the range was extremely long, so I passed them for a long time.
‘why?’
At that time, Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“The rear swordsmen, throw away your arrows!”
As soon as the words were out of the way, the prosecutors launched their swords.
Bub bub bub!
Thirty percent of the arrows broke and fell to the ground. The remaining 70% fell near the main mountain in Jongnam.
Quaaaaaaa!! Kwakwakwak!!
A huge fire erupted with a huge explosion.
“Explosive! “It’s an explosive!”
It was an arrow with explosives attached. To be precise, it was a hand-held device, a type of machine, with oil and gunpowder bags attached together.
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“I told you not to panic! Don’t retreat to the rear! “Stay where you are!”
Whoa!
Then the wind blew. It was a headwind blowing from the direction where the Jongnam prosecutors were facing Hyeolrangdan.
‘this!’
Yes.
Unlike arrows, there are limits to shooting a water jet.
Instead of shooting it at the prosecutors, they fired it a long way away and started a fire. And the fire was hit by a headwind and transferred the heat to the Jongnam troops.
It was as if the battlefield itself had been sealed.
Hwang Seok-tae quickly looked around.
‘also.’
Concealment that could not be hidden fell on the faces of the prosecutors.
It is not an emotion that can be controlled by talking. Even the faces of some prosecutors were distorted with fear.
‘They chose to shake up the morale of the place rather than cause actual damage.’
It was a bold strategy.
‘It won’t end there.’
It was as Hwang Seok-tae expected.
Babababababaak!
While the Jongnam prosecutors were panicking, three masters finally came running up the cliff at incredible speed.
‘You know exactly!’
The war of the Murim people is like this.
Morale is important, the quality of troops is important, and the environment is also important. Strategy Tactics? Of course it’s important.
However, the martial people, who have a clear gap between experts and experts, consider the beat of the moment to be much more important than the art of strategy.
What beat is it?
It was the beat that the master could put in and change the flow.
Quaaaang!
The mighty Balgyeong exploded as the huge blade pierced the cliff diagonally.
A strip of land at the edge of the cliff collapsed. The Jongnam prosecutors were all taken aback by the destructive swordsmanship.
And beyond.
Finally, the real experts appear.
There was a first commander holding a large sword the size of a human body, a second commander holding a similarly gigantic bow, and a fourth commander equipped with a bladed armor.
Each one of them is a true expert who has broken through Mujong. The enemy commanders who read the flow of battle and captured the right moment to appear finally came to Cheongmokae.
Team leader Hwahan shouted.
“I will kill everyone…!”
It was then.
Blah blah blah!
Hwa-han, who blocked the whirlpool of tremendous sword power, was unable to maintain his balance and fell down the cliff.
A smile appeared on Hwang Seok-tae’s lips.
Yonghojinin, who suddenly appeared in front of him, had soot all over his face.
“Isn’t the frequency too late?”
“You’re late!”
“You’re doing too much for a first meeting.”
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“Get out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jongnam prosecutors fell back, and Dong-gwon and Shinhyu Yongho-jinin rushed out and swung their swords at Captain Lee and Captain Sa.
“The three elders, attack the archer!”
Hwang Seok-tae immediately closed the distance and swung his spear at the commander.
Kwarung!
