◈Episode 689.
Burning Mountain (7)
Whoa!
The attacks of Hwang Seok-tae, Dong-kwon Shinhyu, and Yongho-jinin were extremely fast and powerful.
However, they were unable to catch Captain Lee and Captain Sa. It may have been a life-or-death situation where all sides were closed, but they were at war.
Captain Lee and Captain Sa jumped off the cliff without any hesitation, and the four super experts’ attacks cut through the air without meaning.
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
A bloody explosion was heard along with a single explosion.
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“damage!”
Sigh!
Shinhyu, who instinctively swung his sword, immediately realized that his judgment was wrong.
Rumbling!
A small, translucent wire mesh wrapped around Shinhyu’s body.
It was a wire mesh, but the thickness of the net was slightly thicker than thread. Moreover, no matter what treatment was put on the surface, the wire mesh that wrapped Shinhyu’s body did not seem to fall off at all.
“Ugh!”
Shinhyu stumbled.
That too was a mistake. Every time he moved his body slightly, the wire mesh dug deeper and deeper into his flesh and muscles.
Dong-kwon shouted.
“Priests!”
“Do not touch!”
Hwang Seok-tae stopped Dong-kwon with the Jeokryong Spear.
“You’re late!”
Bubbling.
Shinhyu’s entire body was tied up in a net and covered in blood.
I improved my strength belatedly, but it was already too late. Shinhyu’s face instantly turned dark, as if the wire mesh that had penetrated his flesh had been coated with extremely poison.
After a while.
Patter!
With an eerie sound, Shinhyu’s body was broken into pieces and scattered on the floor.
“…!!”
It was a horrendous sight that even experts who had experienced the hardships of childbirth could not easily see.
Shock appeared on Dong-kwon’s face, and Yongho-jinin gritted his teeth.
It was then.
pop! Puff poop!
Hyeolrangdan’s wave offensive was exquisite itself.
When one of the generals in the enemy camp dies, he fires a dart as if he had been waiting. Unlike before, the target was Hwang Seok-tae and Dong-gwon, the leaders of Cheongmokae.
His eye for reading beats is as sharp as a monster. Even without orders from the leaders, they become one and use proactive tactics. It was a tactical plan that was difficult to find in any faction in the midfield.
Dong-kwon shouted in a voice filled with tears.
“You b*stards!!”
At that time, Yonghojinin hugged Dongkwon’s body and rolled on the floor.
At the same time, Hwang Seok-tae’s spear spewed fire.
Puff puff puff puff!!
A spectacular explosion occurred in the air.
The spear skills of the Cheolgi Danju, the strongest unit of the Mukryongbu, who are invincible in advance, have the nature of being able to change a thousand times depending on the need.
Most of the fire fighters exploded due to the spear attack covering a wide area and lost their way.
Pow! bang!
Some of them lost their power due to the pressure of the swordsmen at the rear, and several exploded on the cliff, creating large flames.
Hwang Seok-tae shouted.
“Don’t panic! “Don’t ever put them up here!”
Quaaaang!
As soon as the words were out, Hwa-han, the leader of the group, appeared again.
Hwang Seok-tae and Hwa-han’s eyes collided in the air.
At that moment, the two people instinctively realized something. They recognized that in this battle, they would inevitably encounter one day, a life-or-death opponent, one of whom would have to die.
The spears and swords of the two people collided head-on.
Quack!
The two people staggered back, drinking heavily.
Hwang Seok-tae took a step back, but considering that it was Hwa-han who took the offensive first, the martial arts skills of the two men could be seen as equal.
Hwa-han shouted.
“Everyone come up!!”
The low, resonant voice was that of an experienced wolf pack leader.
Hwang Seok-tae and Yongho Jin-in swung their spear swords at Hwa-han.
There is no place to escape anywhere. It’s a burden to block, and to avoid it, you have to go back down the cliff.
However, Hwahan made a surprising decision.
Quack!!
With his internal strength raised to the limit, he swung the huge sword and blocked the two men’s martial arts attacks.
We managed to stop it, but suffered significant damage. His face became pale and blood appeared around his mouth. He suffered internal injuries.
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes deepened.
‘this guy!’
He was not a man who cared about his own safety.
If he had retreated from this blow, the enemy’s momentum would have been broken once again. Hwahan withstood the attacks of the two super experts even at the cost of internal injuries, buying time for Hyeolrangdan’s climb and at the same time preventing a decline in morale.
Faaagh!
Geez.
The members of the Hyeolrangdan began to appear one by one on the cliff.
Yonghojinin asked.
“What are you going to do?!”
Hwang Seok-tae shouted, swinging his red dragon spear.
“We must stop it till the end! “Our advantage remains the same!”
“It would be better to bring in more troops and overwhelm them…!”
“We don’t have the troops to use!”
“No way? There are still plum sword swordsmen and spear swordsmen left, right?”
“Changsu is in charge of the main base’s water castle! “The plum blossom swordsmen were sent to a separate place!”
“Sending them separately? Where?!”
Pow!
Hwang Seok-tae, who had blown off the head of one of the Hyeolrang members, said with a dull face.
“The most important place.”
* * *
“Over there.”
There was a cool aura in Habok’s eyes.
The place where the four hundred troops were quietly led was to the side roads of the main mountain in Jongnam.
Myeonggeuk and Habok identified most of the secret passages and side roads near Jongnam Mountain, and Habok dispatched troops to search each side path.
Currently, there are fifty troops following Havok. The remaining three hundred and fifty people were searching the area around the main mountain.
But as expected, the first discoverer was Havok. His sense of wildness was much sharper than that of his subordinates.
Slurp.
Havok relaxed his posture and raised his sword sheath.
Flash!
A bloody light flashed in the eyes of the fifty-blood warriors who followed him.
There is a group of people with blazing red eyes in a dark night where the trees are thick. From a distance, it wouldn’t be strange to mistake it for a pack of really hungry wolves.
‘I did find it.’
Havok’s eyes deepened.
‘Look at these?’
His mission was to eliminate the Taoists and students of the Jongnam faction.
To be precise, he cut off the heads of all of them and rushed to the headquarters. Their role was to break the enemy’s morale by throwing the heads of young children and Taoists who had not learned martial arts.
In other words, it could be said that he was assigned the most important mission in this battle. Especially in the fight against the Old Daemun faction, which is the incarnation of the martial arts faction, a tactic like this will have a huge impact.
But.
‘I’m not Jongnam.’
I could hear the sounds of children breathing. That alone can reveal your mental state. Both the children and students were scared.
And on top of the rough breathing, the steady yet passionate breathing of the experts was also mixed.
‘It looks like you just arrived.’
Havok clicked his tongue.
‘There’s nothing we can do.’
Havok snapped his fingers.
Then, a member of the Hyeolrang troupe right behind him cried out to the sky.
Woooooo!!
The loud yet sharp howl of a wolf.
The sound mixed with internal energy was a signal to allies and at the same time it was a negative energy that broke the enemy’s momentum.
Let’s go!
From all directions and beyond.
The blood tribes that heard the sound began to move quickly.
Havok waved his hand.
“Move.”
After a while.
A group of fifty people, including Habok, came out to the vacant lot.
“Huh!”
“Big!”
The students hid the students behind their backs. Everyone covered their mouths.
And in front of them.
One hundred and fifty plum sword swordsmen and Yonggukjinin glared at Habok with cold eyes.
Havok said calmly.
“Even if we had just arrived, if we had moved quickly, we wouldn’t have run into each other here.”
The calm voice is full of unbearable violence.
“Huh!”
“Ugh!”
Dozens of villagers who heard Habok’s voice sobbed or cried.
The students comforted the students. But the children’s crying grew louder.
For a moment, Havok’s eyes became fierce.
“shut up!!”
Hahaha!
It is not only the roar of a tiger that makes the mountains and rivers tremble.
The cry of the wolf, which was bigger and more ferocious than a tiger, instantly erased the cries of the villagers.
Havok frowned.
“I just hate hearing children cry. “If you don’t want to die from having your limbs torn off, take good care of your snout.”
These are not words that come out of a person’s mouth.
Yonggukjinin spoke in a voice full of chills.
“I have seen all kinds of evil people in the world, but this is the first time I have seen a demon like you.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
“Even during a war, there is a line that must not be crossed. “How on earth did they learn to harm children who haven’t even learned a single martial arts skill?!”
“You said that. “It’s called Mine.”
Let’s go!
There was an eerie sound of moving bushes. The scattered blood clans are gathering at a rapid pace.
“Aren’t you expecting too much from Mine?”
“You guys to kill! “You’re like an animal that doesn’t even know the basics!”
“That’s why you are weak.”
Havok’s voice became cold.
“It seems like you’re living in a pretty sweet dream, finding your way during the war.”
“this guy!”
“I don’t like it. “It’s a waste that soft things like you are taking up quality land.”
Slurp.
Havok pulled out his sword.
His sword had the shape of a machete, but it was a sharp sword like a sawtooth.
If you get cut with a knife like that, your flesh and muscles will be cut roughly. The bleeding is severe and recovery is slow. It was bound to be much more fatal than just getting cut.
Tension appeared on Yonggukjinin’s face.
‘It won’t be easy.’
The number of enemies coming from all directions was enormous. As a rough estimate, three to four hundred seems to be a lot of money.
In contrast, this one is only one hundred and fifty. There is a guy who is the current chairman of the Maehwa Swordsman and is mentioned as the next elder, but including himself, there are only two supreme experts.
On the other hand, there was only Habok, the supreme expert, but the presence of Habok was so great that it was excessive. It was a martial arts skill that reminded me of a Shaolin master with a force that seemed to overwhelm even Yongseonjinin, a long-time expert.
There was a look of determination in Yonggukjin’s eyes.
‘Even if we all die, we will save our children until the end.’
There was a reason to camp here.
There is a side road behind the dodongs. And the slope on both sides of the side road was quite steep. This is a difficult path for enemy forces to follow.
It would be better to fight the enemies here and slowly send the Taoists and scholars down that side road.
Habok pointed to Yonggukjinin along the way.
“You talked too much on a moonlit night. Shall we begin now?”
Yonggukjinin shouted.
“You guys to kill! Come at me anytime!”
It was then.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Yongguojin’s face visibly hardened.
‘what?!’
A strong force was felt from far away where the side road leads.
It wasn’t just one or two. As many as the swordsmen of the volcano encamped here were approaching from across the side road.
Yongguojin’s face turned pale.
‘Unbelievable! ‘Do you really think they knew about this path?’
It was then.
‘…?’
Yonggukjin’s face became strange. Havok’s expression revealed in the moonlight also seemed to have hardened slightly.
‘…Not the enemy?’
That moment.
The urgent yet sonorous voice heated up the cool night air.
“I came from the open country! Who’s there? “It’s a volcano!”
Yonggukjin’s face brightened.
The distance was long and I was very nervous. So I couldn’t read their momentum properly.
Yonggukjinin shouted.
“It’s open! Reinforcements have arrived from open!”
Wow!
The plum swordsmen all drew their swords and shouted.
The faces of Dodong and the students brightened, and the morale of the Hwasan swordsmen rose at an alarming rate.
Havok growled.
“Kill them all!!”
Woooooo!
The hungry blood tribes began attacking.
