< Episode 119
There were many people standing on the wall surrounding the Simhwabang or on the high roof of the pavilion. This is a guard force led by the successors of each Bangpa faction that participated in the Sacheon Branch. The water volume reaches 2,000.
Most of them had enough eye contact to witness the decisive battle that had just taken place. The story goes back and forth quickly.
“…Am I just looking at something? I can’t believe that the Grand Council is suffering. A person who competes for supremacy among the six apostles.”
“Wait a minute, is it really Daehyeop from the Nine Hwan School Swordsman? The sword mark across his face certainly matches his facial features.”
“If you don’t know, stay still. Idiot. I saw Jonan up close when I visited the original school. He must be Sangmyeong-il Daehyeop, the sworn brother of Ryeonju.”
“Great Lord. I guess the rumor that the Guhwan Religious Sword ascended to the Hwagyeong was true. Wasn’t that the sword power that anyone could see just now? It was my first time seeing it in person, but I couldn’t have known it. The energy was burning so fiercely. It was completely different from the sword energy. “It seemed like things were going the wrong way.”
“Yes. It is a sight that is not easily seen. When I was young, I also happened to see the sword king of the Namgung family manifesting the sword. However, what is more surprising than the manifestation of the sword by Sang Myeong-il is that the sword was broken as if it were porcelain. Unless there is a significant difference in martial arts achievements, it is shocking that the difference between victory and defeat when fighting with a strong sword is largely determined by the power of the sword.”
“…More than that, I can’t see the master of the main text. The Simsangbangdoists are dead and gone. Judging from the instruments they are holding, I think they must have been practicing Simsimcheokeumgong. It seems like Sadal has also grown significantly.”
“Over there! The lord of the main palace is lying down…! Quickly check whether he is alive or dead and rescue him…”
“What? Rescue? Are you wearing eyeballs as decorations…? Not only your Sogung lord, but also the Soga lord of the main family, and the heirs of Haewolgok and Hyeonjungdomun are all dead…! Their faces look like they’ve been poisoned by some kind of poison. “Can’t you see this black, dead thing?”
“Calm down. It’s urgent to understand the situation. Let’s first find out the identity of the person who brought the Sangdaehyup to such a state. From this side, we can only see his back. Judging by the dark green steel that is still on the author’s sword, it is clear that he is in danger of harm. “It’s a cilantro… I can’t figure out where a cilantro like that came from. I’m sure no outside force has ever set foot in Sacheon.”
“Shh. Looks like someone over there recognized your identity. What are you talking about…?”
“I know how to lip read a little. Let’s see what it says. Dangga… Yeongmyeong… Soju, or rather Sogaju…? Natural name…?”
“…Are you really talking about the natural name of Tang and Xiaojia Zhou? A mere late Jisoo defeated the Apostles and Six Lords?”
“Nonsense! Didn’t the author just fight back with a sword, not with poison or memorization, but with a fair sword? Above all, how can he explain the inaction that brought him to the throne of peace…! From what I heard, the Tang family’s Sojiazhu has not yet completed his terms and conditions. “I heard it didn’t work out.”
“No, I was just lip-reading. What if you criticize me…?”
“But who is the woman that Simhwa Ark is carrying? It’s hard to tell because she’s wearing cotton. It looks like she’s holding a hostage. She’s grabbing the nape of her neck.”
“…I’m just saying this, but you’re not the Black Snake Lady, are you?”
“What kind of nonsense is that? Yeo Seol-ryeon of Simhwa Ark is known as a particularly loyal person even in the original alliance. Do you know how much tribute she gives to Yeon-ju every year? And if that woman is the Lady of Black Snake, what will she do? We have to ensure safety. It would not be surprising if all the remaining Apostles stepped forward, so if something happens to Lady Heuksahwa….”
“The leader himself will come forward. No one involved will be able to avoid death. Dozens of Bangpas present at this event will all be exterminated. It’s terrible to even think about it.”
“…I’m going crazy. They say words become seeds, look over there.”
At the end of someone’s words, silence came. A scene more shocking than the death of Guhwan High School Prosecutor Sang Myeong-il unfolded before my eyes.
It was right after Simhwa Ark’s Yeo Seol-ryeon roughly ripped off the cotton thread of the woman he was suppressing.
Shock spreads quickly everywhere. Many people recognized the face of Heuksahwa Yoo Yeon-hee, who liked to participate in various events. A series of situations were unfolding that none of those gathered here could have imagined. There are quite a few people who hiccup or gasp.
“As everyone guessed.”
Simhwa Ark Yeo Seol-ryeon opened her mouth. A voice loaded with power to be heard far and wide. She spoke calmly, but in reality, her feelings were complicated. The last trap she prepared to kill Yeon Yeon-myeong, the plan to mobilize Sang-myeong by taking Yoo Yeon-hee hostage, came to nothing. Unbelievably, Yeon Yeom-myeong was also a being who could climb up to the Hwa-gyeong and utter the Sword Gang. It is understandable that Makinhu, who was a Jeongin, suffered. I still wondered how someone of that age could have that level of skill.
Yeo Seol-ryeon continued speaking.
“This person here is Lady Heuksahwa. Yes, Lord Yeonju’s forbidden jade leaf. If something happens to Lady Heuksahwa here, will you all be safe?”
There is no way you can be safe. We should start worrying about extinction right now. What was the impetus for Heuksaryeonju Yoo Gil-jun to overthrow Cheongseong, one of the old factions? This was because the leader who had taken in and raised him during his time in the Black Death Sect met an unjust death at the hands of a disciple of the Cheongseong Sect who went on a rampage. Yu Gil-jun reacted sensitively to matters involving his people. Heuksahwa Yoo Yeon-hee was the only child of Yoo Gil-jun who had no other blood relatives, even though he was an adoptive daughter, so if something happened to her, it was as obvious as seeing fire that a huge wind of blood would blow across the land of Sacheon.
“I will tell you this bluntly. All of you from all factions must work together to kill that young monster of the Tang family who killed Guhwan High School Swordsman Sang Myeong-il. If you don’t follow my instructions immediately, I will kill Lady Black Snake and kill her as well. Sacheon Branch The list of Bangpa who participated has already entered the original group, so you won’t be able to avoid the disaster just by running away from this place.”
“…Deepening Ark. Why on earth are you doing this?”
“It looks like Shang Dae-hyeop also gave in to your threats and engaged in a decisive battle with the Tang family’s So Jiaju. What kind of grudge do you have with him…?”
“I would have told you to obey me right away…!”
Yeo Seol-ryeon shouted menacingly, without taking her eyes off Yeon Jeon-myeong, who scattered the sword and led the sword. When Yoo Yeon-hee puts a little pressure on her hand holding the delicate nape of her neck, she struggles, perhaps because she feels her life is in danger.
The Sapa warriors who saw this became thoughtful. Now, in their minds, the death of Jafar’s successor was not an important issue at all. All I can think about is that if Yoo Yeon-hee dies, everything will end.
“Calm down, Simhwa Ark. We, Haewolgok, will follow your will.”
“The same goes for our Chobungmun.”
“Hyeonjungdomun also…!”
The army, made up of more than 2,000 warriors of the Sapa, quickly united in spirit. I don’t know why Yeo Seol-ryeon does such crazy things, but she was right. Running away from this place wouldn’t have resulted in any serious harm, and more than anything, I couldn’t let Tang Family’s Sojiajou Yan Myeong live like this. He is the one who harmed none other than Sang Myeong-il, the chief of the six apostles and the Guhwan High School Prosecutor. Regardless of whether one belongs to the Black Silent Alliance or not, as an apostolic warrior living in Sacheon, this is something that cannot be ignored.
Of course, there were some unclear points. Things like the rumor about the martial arts warrior who killed hundreds of people single-handedly, or the dark green halo of light that I saw a little while ago.
“No matter how much you have reached the level of fire, you are still only a human. The number of people gathered here is over 2,000, so there is a good chance of victory. Since you brought out strong energy in the first fight with the opponent, your energy consumption will be extreme. Judging from your momentum, it is still considerable. It seems like it has left its inner strength, but Danjeon is not a river basin (河水孟hwasubun), so there will definitely be an end to it.”
“Be careful of the acupuncture needles. According to the rumor, Sogaju of the Tang family is said to use a memorized martial arts technique that rains down acupuncture needles from the sky. It is barely enough to kill a person with such memorization of the fine acupuncture needles, so he will most likely use a huge amount of extreme poison. Likewise. “If you catch any hint of dragon poisoning, let them know loudly.”
“You should also keep in mind that the sword’s strength is displayed. It is not a decoration on the sword at the waist. I looked at it for a moment before cutting it and the blade was polished properly compared to the shabby sheath. This means that it was a famous sword that was not neglected in maintenance or was properly made.”
The Sapa warriors narrowed the distance by reciting precautions to each other as if they were facing a great enemy. Among them, there were some Simhwabangdo who were not mobilized to the Simsimcheokeumbang, but since the owner of the room, Yeo Seolryeon, was moving the Sapa warriors with such semi-threats, they could not just stay still.
Meanwhile.
Yeon Myeong, paying no attention to the slowly approaching crowd, approached Guhwan District Prosecutor Sang Myeong Il. He stood there with dull eyes, a half-broken sword clutched tightly in his right hand, which hung beneath the hem of his tattered sleeve. It was the end of a swordsman that he did not let go of his sword even after death.
“It won’t be boring on the way there.”
While speaking to the corpse, Yeon Myeong placed his hand on Sang Myeong Il’s sword. Of course, Sang Myung-il’s sword was also a very famous sword.
It is worthy of the prestigious title of Apostle Yukjon. Although it was broken while wearing a sword.
‘Green onion (破).’
Muttering to myself, I am fascinated by the magic that contains the secrets of green onions. Then, with a crunching sound, Sang Myung-il’s sword shattered into dozens of iron pieces. In the eyes of those who were watching, it would have seemed as if Yeon Myeong had simply touched the sword and the sword had shattered into pieces like a broken bowl. Only a few people recognized that this was a very sophisticated method of internal power management.
Yeon Myeong stretched out his hand toward the falling iron pieces. In an instant, the falling pieces of iron stop. It feels like time has stopped for a moment, and as Yeon Myeong’s hand moves, the iron piece moves as if swimming in the air.
“now…!”
Those who notice that Yeon Myeong is trying to do something suspicious use new techniques and quickly close the distance. Some even rushed towards Tang Meilio and Zhuge Yingying. They were the ones who remembered being with Yeon Myeong when they wrote the guest book in front of the main entrance to the Simhwa Room.
It was then.
A strong current of air burst out from the center of Yeon Yeommyeong’s palm.
Phew!
It was a whirlwind of energy powerful enough to send hair and clothes flying behind it. It is made by radiating energy waves in all directions, carrying the principles of mountain and wave. The vortex of energy waves did not dissipate in vain, but continued to circle around a certain area, expanding its power. This was because Yeon-myeong controlled it with his will.
‘Turn around.’
Naturally, the iron pieces trapped in the whirlwind also began to swirl with the air current. It wasn’t long before the momentum became fierce. Sharp pieces of metal move at incredible speed. It feels as if whatever enters the area will be crushed without hesitation…!
Mancheonhwawoo is said to be the pinnacle of martial arts memorization of Sacheondanga.
As an imitation of that, Geomshin created a new way of memorizing Muhak, Cheolpyeonpyo (鐵片驅).
