Episode 915
Originally there was nothing (3)
“…?!”
The official’s eyes wavered.
Sreuk.
As he came down from the ceiling of the carriage, the Mukbi Paeyul assistant ships stood one by one.
Yeon Ji-pyeong and Ok-cheong stood behind them, and Mak-won, who had been looking up at the sky from the back of the carriage, walked forward with an iron bar draped over his shoulder.
Sigh.
The carriage moved slightly backwards.
Mak Won, who had surpassed everyone and was in the lead, saw a ghost appear in front of him.
‘…big.’
A look of tension appeared on Makwon’s face.
The ghost that suddenly appeared had the appearance of an old man. He held a cane in one hand on his bent back, but even after wiping my eyes, I couldn’t find anything unusual about him.
But in Makwon’s eyes, the old man seemed so huge.
‘This suddenly?!’
An unknown ghost that suddenly appeared without any sign.
There was no sign of any temperament from the ghost. However, it was filled with a huge presence like Mount Tai that only Makwon could feel.
“Amazing.”
The old man’s voice was pure.
Just listening to it made my ears feel refreshed. The voice was so clear and deep that I wanted to close my eyes and listen.
“These are experts dispatched by the Murim Alliance… they all have their own unique characteristics. Among them, the two masters who entered the Holy Demon are an iron unit surrounded by a powerful military spirit that I have never seen before?”
Makwon opened his mouth.
“What about you?”
“you?”
The old man’s face looked relaxed.
“You’re such an old b*stard. “Even though we met through enemy means, isn’t that too rude in front of an old man who has not long left to go?”
“Are you here to talk about such useless things?”
“Hehehe!”
The old man burst into laughter.
Makwon’s eyes deepened.
‘There are no gaps.’
Even though he threw his head back and laughed, there wasn’t a single gap in sight.
No, to be precise, the problem was that there were too many gaps. He was an opponent who inspired confidence, as if he could be killed in one hit no matter where or how he attacked.
That’s why I couldn’t move any more quickly. If a master with that much presence is showing so many loopholes, the side that attacks first will suffer losses.
As a result, there were no gaps. I couldn’t attack first.
‘Well, it’s a situation where I can’t fight right now anyway.’
The old man nodded.
“You are right. “If we’re going to point our swords at each other anyway, we shouldn’t expect respect based on age.”
“….”
“Thank you for your hard work on the long journey. “The road from Hanam Murimmaeng to Cheonghae was over several thousand miles, so it must have been really tiring.”
“What’s the point?”
thud!
A strong vibration occurred from the iron bar that hit the ground.
The old man’s eyes sparkled.
“That is an intense prayer. “I thought I knew a lot of the masters of the central region, but I didn’t know that I could feel the spirit of martial arts in the people themselves.”
“….”
“Are you a member of the Baekbyeongshin Army?”
“You know me.”
“You can’t not know. Seongcheon, who is praised as a legend by the Jungwon Martial Arts….”
That was then.
Flash!
A ray of black lightning passed over Makwon’s shoulder, pierced the old man’s body, and returned to its original position in a huge arc.
Clap!
A sharp metal sound rang out.
Everyone turned their heads and looked back.
Yeon Ho-jeong was seen holding the Gwangryongbu in his right hand and the Black Dragonbu that he threw in his left hand.
“You can’t turn your head when the enemy is in front of you.”
The group, startled by Yeon Ho-jeong’s words, looked at the old man again.
“Hmm.”
The old man stroked his chest.
Surprisingly, there were no wounds on his chest where the Black Dragon penetrated. Let alone any wounds, the clothes were not even torn.
“I didn’t expect you to get caught this quickly.”
Makwon grumbled.
“I knew it from the moment I first came.”
“Is it true?”
“Of course. “It was a bit old and sad, but no matter how much I looked at it, I couldn’t feel any vitality.”
“That’s amazing. It wouldn’t have been easy to recognize even the cilantro in the holy horse. “You have an extremely sensitive sense of humor.”
Sigh.
Yeon Ho-jeong stood next to Mak Won.
The old man sighed as he looked at the two people staring at him in silence.
“This is Yeonhojeong, Chief of Byeoksanho, in the far reaches of Baekbyeongshingun….”
Chief of Byeoksanho was his nickname before he became the reigning king.
They know that Yeon Ho-jeong’s military power has reached Seongcheon, but they do not know that his nickname has changed. This meant that they were cut off from the outside world and received only important facts as information.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“Enough with playing with ghosts, what did you come here for? “I was planning to attack it when the time was right and cut off its branches straight away.”
The old man chuckled.
“It’s just as reported. They said it was extremely extreme, but really….”
“I asked you, what did you come here for?”
“….”
“If you just came to see the face, go again. “You’ll see it soon anyway.”
The smiling old man’s face slowly hardened.
“You are a more dangerous person than I thought.”
“What do you know?”
“I know very well how to provoke others. The way you speak, your voice, your facial expressions, your eyes… they may seem trivial, but they are absolutely not trivial. “He can truly be said to be a veteran.”
“The praise is excessive.”
“It’s not excessive. I thought I was being cautious, but there’s something about your tone that’s so unique that I feel like I want to ignore everything. “I was impressed.”
“Isn’t it embarrassing if you admire me too quickly?”
“….”
“So what is the main point? “You demon b*stard who hid his true body and revealed himself using something similar to a hex.”
“Tsk tsk.”
The old man lowered his head and burst into laughter and spoke calmly.
“That guy over there named Cheon Hyo-rak has already said everything, right? “I said it came from Gwanghyeol.”
“okay.”
“I am Mukro, the chief priest of Gwanghyeol.”
“Mukro? “You talk so much, is it Mukro?”
“Silencing the opponent is my skill.”
“I think I understand.”
Although he was speaking calmly, Yeon Ho-jeong was in a very surprised state on the inside.
Ilsajejang of Gwanghyeolgyo.
In the past, King Gongsun Baekryong, who died at his hands, was said to be the five priests of Gwanghyeolgyo.
In other words, this old man in front of me is one of the greatest priests.
‘surely.’
Because it is not the body, its true force cannot be known. However, just by the presence of the illusion created by magic, it was possible to guess that he was an emperor-level expert.
‘Maybe it’s more than that.’
Mukro said calmly.
“Before we get into the main topic, I would like to make a suggestion.”
“Recite it, old man.”
“Is there anyone who will come to our school?”
“Could it be something like the will I only heard about?”
“….”
“I hope you refrain from talking nonsense before you piss on my body.”
Okcheong gasped without realizing it! He laughed, then realized his mistake and his face hardened.
That wasn’t all. Yeon Ho-jeong’s joke-like words were easing the tense bodies of the group.
Old Man Mukro shook his head.
“Words won’t be enough.”
“I know. “Even if my martial arts ability follows only half of the snout, it is the most certain of all time.”
“They say no one is coming to the main school, so I’ll get to the point. “Actually, I expected it, but it’s still bittersweet.”
“Get to the point.”
Mukro looked around at the group.
They all had unusual eyes. Regardless of the level of martial arts, each and every one of them had a strong heart.
Mukro felt bitter once again.
‘I shouldn’t envy my enemy, but I really envy you. There is a lot of talent in the midfield.’
Mukro sighed, his eyes shining.
“I’m not afraid of fighting you guys.”
“I feel a sense of kinship in this unusual situation.”
“We should win. However, the damage on both sides will be very great.”
“I can’t admit that, but anyway.”
“How about having three representative experts decide the winner?”
Yeon Hao-jeong of the world never imagined that the other person would make such a proposal.
“Let’s compete in a life-or-death fight?”
“That’s right.”
“…I don’t think it’s a joke?”
“Of course it is.”
“You expected it to be obvious that I would reject you, right?”
“at all.”
Mukro shook his head.
“Like I said, if you guys come in, it’s going to be a pretty big fight. But we will win. “You can’t defeat us with your current forces.”
“Go ahead.”
“But it’s clear that we will suffer a lot of damage, and we don’t want that. We have a lot of work to do. And honestly….” “
….”
“Didn’t the school, as well as Shinhwa and Saum, suffer a great deal because of you? “We lost a lot more masters than we expected.”
“know.”
“I think the higher-ups don’t want to waste any more unnecessary power. “It’s the same for you too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong glared at Muk-ro without saying a word.
Makwon said while looking at Yeonhojeong.
“That doesn’t sound like a horse. “You know too, right?”
Mukro intervened.
“If you think it’s nonsense, it’s okay to attack right now. Actually, we feel more comfortable that way too. “If the war is going to break out anyway, it’s not a bad idea to end it quickly.”
“….”
“But I’m making this suggestion because I don’t like pointless bloodshed. “Did you understand what I said?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Yes, I understand.”
“Would you agree?”
“Let me ask you just one question.”
“Sure.”
“Do you know what we want?”
“It’s obvious. “If you heard the whole situation from Cheon Hyo-rak, wouldn’t your goal be to return Shinmarim to its original state?”
“Well, if you look at it broadly, it’s like that.”
“In the process, the true purpose of your coming here would be to defeat the archduke, who can be considered your enemy, and drive out the blood-blooded troops.”
It was a fact that could be seen even if you thought about it a little.
but.
‘Why did this guy come out?’
Yeon Ho-jeong was puzzled.
‘It would be better if someone who is an archduke or something comes out. It’s hard to think that it didn’t come out simply because we couldn’t create this illusion.’
The reason Yeon Ho-jeong continued the conversation by emphasizing Muk-ro’s words was because she wanted to find out more from him.
But it was still vague. There was clearly something these guys wanted, but I couldn’t figure it out.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked aggressively, thinking he might be able to find out something if he probed further.
“What if we win?”
“The light blood will retreat.”
“Didn’t you make a promise to the Archduke?”
“promise? Of course it is. But if each other’s honor is at stake in this match, we will act accordingly.”
I needed more.
“Representative Gosu… Are they putting forward the strongest Gosu from each side? Or is it a place name?”
“How is it any different from going to war if each person puts forward his or her best soldiers? “If it’s a life-or-death situation, even if one person survives, he or she can be fatally injured.”
“is it?”
“Let’s make a nomination. “Wouldn’t that be good for both sides?”
Nomination… three rounds of life and death….
‘These guys definitely want something.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s head began to spin violently.
‘Signless loss of troops? It doesn’t even sound like a horse. These guys aren’t the ones to regret such things. They may be corrupted Shinmarim, but they are fanatics who risk their lives for one mission.’
What are you aiming for? What do these guys really want?
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Is the Archduke coming too?”
“I don’t know.”
“why? “Are you unable to come out because you are keeping an eye on the demon ship Hyeokryeonhwi that you guys have captured?”
Yeon Ho-jeong did not miss the slight shaking of Muk-ro’s eyes at that moment.
“That can’t be possible….”
“Okcheong Danggaju, stay silent!”
Cheer ring!
For a moment, Yeonhojeong, who had connected the ends of Gyoryongswae and Gwangryongbu, shouted loudly.
“You three are coming in with me! As for the rest, stay here to protect the Emperor!”
There was surprise on Mukro’s face.
“what!”
“These guys have no intention of killing Prince Tian! “I plan to capture you!”
Flash!
Yeonho-jeong, who swung the Gwangryongbu full of yellow dragon flags and cut down the illusion of Mukro, kicked the ground.
Paaaaaaaa!
Tang Gwan and Okcheong Mukbi quickly followed behind him.
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly decides to infiltrate with the unexpectedly appearing Muk.
Cheon Hyo-rak came out of the carriage and shouted.
“Yeon Sobuju! “How can I fight against the fearsome enemy…!”
“This was all a hoax! Just like that old man’s illusion!”
Woooooo!!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had raised the Hwangryonggi to its limit, used the Gwangpungguryongsal in the air.
Crumbling!!
The air began to split.
