Episode 999.
When I put it down, I could see the sky (16)
Xiang Yao’s face had now turned white to the point where it was pitiful to look at.
If Yeonhojeong wants to attack, there is no need to swing the axe. Your body can evaporate with one punch.
‘…!!’
For a moment, Hangyo remembered.
In the past, when Yeon Ho-jeong became Sobuju and became deaf, the moment when all the warriors cheered loudly.
Hangyo was also there. Of course, there were many warriors of the three domains, including Xiang Yao.
That wasn’t all. Currently, more than half of the warriors who not only despise the Black Path but also constantly burn hatred against it were there.
Most of them also cheered for Yeonhojeong’s return. I saw how outstanding his skills were in some of the fights that took place within the team, but in reality, that didn’t mean much.
Troubled times call for heroes, and when heroes appear, people feel doomed.
How were you at that time?
What actions did you and the Samdomun warriors take when they saw Yeon Ho-jeong walking proudly from afar?
‘…!!’
Hangyo’s eyes shook greatly.
Yes. He also cheered at Yeon Ho-jeong’s appearance.
Even though he had switched to the Black Road, he continued to shout and welcome his appearance. Even the warriors under his command would praise him, saying that it was rare in the world to see a woman as tall as Yeon Ho-jeong.
Such Yeon Ho-jeong is now standing in front of him.
He aimed a black hatchet at himself and spewed out a prayer that was much harsher and darker than before.
‘what?’
Hangyo thought.
‘Why did this happen?’
It was strange.
Although he was impressed by Yeon Ho-jeong’s skills, he was actually more attracted to his determination and boldness than his martial arts skills.
Yeon Ho-jeong fought at the forefront, exposing the true state of the Guju Myeong family, which had accumulated all kinds of evil deeds after leaving the martial arts world.
In the end, Guju Myeongga collapsed, and he was called Byeoksanhojang and received praise from everyone.
That was the reason why many warriors from small and medium-sized schools similar to him cheered Yeon Ho-jeong.
He was strong, bold, and a hero armed with an uncharacteristic daring spirit.
I didn’t care at all what people around me looked like. Common sense tells us that no matter how much evil karma the Nine Zhou Famous Family has accumulated, a person from a so-called famous family would not act in such a way. Not only will it be difficult to deal with the aftermath, but the prestige of being the best in the world at the time will weigh you down.
Yeonhojeong was different.
He was always different.
Some said Some of the rumors about Yeonhojeong are exaggerated. Beyond the title of genius, he was born with a monstrous talent and reached the youngest level of sainthood, but the general consensus was that it was only in the realm of talent and that he would not actually have done that much against the Three Schools.
However, some people said this.
Even that is a reduced rumor.
From Henan to Hubei, from Hunan to Guangdong, to Sichuan and Shaanxi.
Yeon Ho-jeong was the one who participated in all of the truly bloody battles. Just looking at the simple flow of events, Yeon Ho-jeong delved into almost every incident and found the problem, and the fight broke out afterwards.
In other words, Yeonhojeong’s brilliant tactical plan, bold and unconventional movements, and fierce martial arts, combined with the later opening up and the support of the Murim Alliance military, resulted in a miraculous result.
Xiang Yao did not believe any of them to be true. The truth wasn’t important to him.
It was only important that such an exciting warrior appeared in a place called martial arts, which was extremely unreasonable in this world.
Why was he being insulted like this while standing in front of Yeonhojeong, whom he admired so much?
‘Insult…’
Huh? But what is an insult?
Xiang Yao’s mind began to become disorganized.
I felt like my very existence was being denied by Yeon Ho-jeong’s ruthless words. I felt like my thoughts, which I had reacted more sensitively to than usual, were running wild in all directions.
“Is there no need to give up the first strike?”
Hangyo was startled by the cold voice he suddenly heard.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.
“I don’t think it’s particularly rude to strike first at an opponent who doesn’t even know what to do.”
“…!!”
“It looks like you’re confident in your martial arts skills. “Try to stop it somewhere.”
thud!
Yeon Ho-jeong took a step forward.
Hangyo pulled out his sword without realizing it. It was force majeure.
It was then.
“omg!”
Hwaaaaaaaaa!
In Xiang Yao’s eyes, the black hatchet had suddenly become as large as a mountain peak.
Yeonhojeong was not even visible. All he could see in his field of vision was a huge, ornate black ax and the giant’s hand holding the ax.
‘Die.’
It seemed as if Mother Nature was shaking.
I didn’t feel like I was living or fighting. There was just an infinitely large and overwhelming force that was swirling like a storm.
‘The Lord is dying!!’
I don’t even have the presence of mind to swing a sword. It cannot be avoided.
Xiang Yao looked at the ax blankly.
Kugugoogung!!
The ax was swinging through the wind, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Because it was so huge, it looked slow, but in reality, it was a blow that came down as fast as a gale.
Even if you avoid the ax blade, the aftermath will tear your entire body to pieces. You, as well as this land and surrounding buildings, will all be turned into powder and scattered.
Hangyo screamed without realizing it and raised his sword.
“Aaaah!!”
Sreung. Tuk.
The power and sight of the heavens and earth shaking all disappeared in an instant.
Hangyo, who lowered his head with his eyes tightly closed, took a deep breath and looked ahead.
“…!!”
The knife was cut in half.
It wasn’t even a hard strike, but the ax blade cut through the sword’s body so easily that it landed right in front of his head.
Slurp!
Hangyo fell down on the spot.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at him with cold eyes.
Grrrr!
My whole body was shaking. My teeth chattered until they chattered.
The owner of creepy golden eyes was looking down at himself, spreading a pair of black and white wings.
“Who are you?”
“Yes yes?!”
“I asked who was the person who spread such nonsense.”
“I don’t know.”
Hang Yao didn’t even notice that his tone of voice had changed.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eye glow became darker and more intense.
“Huh!”
Hangyo closed his eyes tightly.
“I don’t know! It’s true! “It was just a rumor going around!”
“Think of it.”
“…yes?”
“Think about it. “Where did you first hear that rumor?”
“…!”
“All you have is your pride, but you don’t even dare to talk about it because you know the subject. Tell me where the devil is that whispered to you that this behavior was right and that you shouldn’t let it continue like this. By the way…”
“….”
“This is not a request.”
Flash!
The golden glow lurking in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes began to swirl.
Overwhelming presence. Everyone watching this scene was overwhelmed and their mouths widened.
Xiang Yao opened his mouth in a stuttering manner, as if possessed by a supernatural being.
“I don’t remember. However, we often talk about this with the gate lords of the Heavenly Sword Gate and the Ampakwon Gate….” “
….”
“Oh, we hated the black swordsmen! “Holding hands with those guys is unbearable…!”
“Then get out.”
“yes?!”
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a cold voice.
“If you hate it that much, go back to your hometown. “Like a red window.”
“…!!”
“And regret it. “In the future, when the war against the three religions broke out and so many people died, you must face the reality with regret about how foolish you made a choice.”
Creepy!
Everyone who heard Yeon Ho-jeong’s words felt goosebumps rising.
I felt as if the unknown enemy called the Three Religions, which I had never felt before, was going to war at any moment.
Yes.
They were at war. The war is not over just because a knife fight does not occur right before your eyes.
“Never be in my sight again. “I have no intention of persuading reactionary forces like you one by one.”
“….”
“If I see you again, I will kill you.”
Hangyo’s body suddenly stiffened.
The small owner of the Mukryongbu who confidently says that he will kill him within the Murim Alliance.
But even though those words were horribly violent, I felt like I could never reject them. I was confident that no one, not even the Murim Lord, would be able to stop him.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had a black dragon on his belt, spoke to Jinyang.
“let’s go.”
“Let’s do that.”
Jinyang, who was walking behind Yeonhojeong, suddenly remembered something and stood next to Hangyo.
Xiang Yao didn’t even dare to raise his head. The overwhelming fear evoked by Yeon Ho-jeong took a huge toll on his mind and heart.
Jinyang said with a grin.
“You don’t like black swords?”
“….”
“You idiots. I f*cking hate you Baekdo b*stards too. “If we try to eat together, the food won’t go down our throats because of the terrible stench.”
“….”
“But I still eat in a place full of stench.”
Jinyang turned his head.
“I don’t like it, but we’re still here.”
Hangyo’s eyes wavered.
Everyone gathered here looked at Jinyang with complicated faces.
If Yeon Ho-jeong’s words and actions were completely shocking and a merciless beating from a strict general.
Jinyang’s calm words were like green water in the desert that reminded them of their natural reality.
Yes.
There is no way that a black man would not hate the Murim Alliance.
Nevertheless, it is here. what is the reason?
To win.
In order to win the war, we must abandon the chains of fiery anger and hatred and endure day by day and stay here.
The place where Yeonhojeong and Jinyang disappeared.
“….”
The people watching the scene seemed frozen in place and unable to move.
* * *
“Unexpected.”
“what?”
“If he had the personality of a captain, it seemed like he would absolutely crush the guy who was a three-pronged master or something.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Honestly, I wanted to do that.”
Jinyang also smiled.
“I got caught up in the atmosphere, but I wasn’t a good guy. “I’m doing this because I’ve lived like a rat my whole life.”
“You are right. Rather, people like that are harmful to the Murim Alliance in the long run. “I don’t know if I can change my personality, but if I don’t, I’m the type of person who will cause trouble at any time.”
“Then didn’t you have to beat me up more?”
“We are not fighting the Baekdo people right now.”
It was a strange thing to say. At least that’s how it sounded to Jinyang.
Even though he is a small master of the Mukryongbu, he comes from a famous white sword family, but since he does not fight white swordsmen, he really looks like a black swordsman.
‘Well, if you look at his words and actions, he is not only excellent, but he can be said to be a great black man.’
At that time, Yeonhojeong stopped walking.
“Why are you like that?”
“…I’m a little puzzled.”
“What? “The guy from a little while ago?”
“That guy is that guy too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked up at the sky.
“Isn’t it strange? People only see what they want to see. No matter how amazing and great a sight you see, you quickly forget it as time passes. “Their feelings toward me are similar.”
“They are truly ridiculous. It’s Seongcheon, right? The other saints said, ‘Oh my God, you warriors!’ Why do these people who make such a fuss do that to the leader? I just can’t understand it. “I saw a close relationship with the sword system.”
Jinyang tilted his head.
“Is it because of my age? “Isn’t it jealousy or something?”
“There might be something like that. But… something is strange.”
“There must be one or two strange things on this floor.”
“I sense malice.”
“huh?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“To crack the black-white alliance… I don’t think that’s simply the goal.”
“…?”
“I have to go to the Namgung family.”
