Side Story Episode 73. Collision (3)
“You said that?”
“yes!”
Guichang looked far behind.
I could see the peak of the mountain where the headquarters Yashas were originally gathered. The distance was small, but the peak looked very high from here. There was no way to see the cliff or forest beyond.
‘It’s an assault unit.’
I thought it made sense.
Lee Cheon-sang said that the strength of the Homa Sangdan was greater than that of any small or medium-sized sect in the martial arts world. I don’t know for sure, but it’s true that at least if the Homa Sangdan has a formidable amount of power, they should pay some attention to it.
Moreover, due to the nature of the top, the information power will naturally be excellent. The power of a large merchant would be enough to know that a unit departing from Shingyo entered Fujian.
‘Then again.’
Guichang looked ahead.
Yang Geon exploded a smoke bomb once and then another blue smoke bomb.
A blue smoke bomb means waiting until the main unit arrives. In other words, it can be interpreted as not taking hasty action because the enemy’s identity, location, or power is ambiguous.
‘Is it an inducement?’
Gwi-chang was a horseman with a lot of experience in group warfare.
He had a lot of experience leading troops and, of course, had considerable field experience.
‘Usually, when luring an enemy, they dig a trap and spread out to catch them. However, if their intention was to launch a surprise attack from the rear, there are no traps ahead. There is no need to expend the organization’s energy that much.’
Rather, they will try to lure you to the end. The intention may be to thin out the density of the units lined up in rows by pulling them out just in the nick of time to avoid being caught.
Units in a column with reduced density become vulnerable to attacks from the rear, flanks, or any other area.
Tension appeared in Guichang’s eyes.
‘If you’re thinking of luring us with the advance guard with a rear surprise attack in mind, it could be a trickier fight than you think.’
In the first place, it is difficult to execute the operation itself, which is to lure the enemy’s troops and deal with them.
It was a problem unrelated to the force of the unit members. You have to be quick-witted, have a way to communicate with each other briefly and quickly, of course you have to get along, and, crucially, you have to trust each other completely.
Such things cannot be created in one or two years of training. It is a power that cannot be gained through one or two experiences.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it was a trained unit, but what was more important was the terrain.
‘It’s a surprise attack that’s perfect for this forest-covered terrain. If a rear raid is viewed as the main line of attack, a disorganized headquarters may be scattered in all directions.’
A look of confusion appeared on Gwi-chang’s face as he looked around.
‘I’m going to rush around and kill them all.’
Of course, the yakshas are not easy to the point that they are scattered as they want in a panic by the enemy’s surprise attack.
But you don’t know until that moment actually comes. Although they were members of each organization, it was the first time they moved as one unit.
“I get it. Well, until I get a call from the group… … .”
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
The strong explosion of sound became an echo and was heard all the way here.
It was behind the mountain peak. The explosion that erupted from the rear, out of sight, was caused by a gunshot.
Guichang’s eyes sparkled.
A fight broke out.
“You return to where you came right now!”
“yes!”
Juyeongyo immediately led the team members and moved to the rear.
Gwi-chang gave an order to Seol I-jeon, the senior leader of this army.
“This group, too, retreat to the rear! “Wait at the mountain peak!”
“I follow your orders!”
Flap!
Seol Yi-jeon, holding the Baekya Chabun, led the army and headed to the rear again. Because there were so many people, it was slower than the small team led by Joon-gyo.
Gwichang shouted.
“The three armies are moving to the advance guard! Speed up!”
In the middle, I thought about leaving Lee behind. However, it was dangerous to leave this army without a formal leader.
It would have been better to attach it to the concept of a group of reserve forces and reinforce the force so that a group could fight together when in danger.
A look of determination appeared on Gwi-chang’s face as he advanced forward holding the Cheongya Tea Bun.
‘If the fight doesn’t end within this angle, we’ll have to go to the rear as well.’
Even the experienced Gwi-chang couldn’t help but feel anxious. I knew that Lee Cheon-sang’s abilities were outstanding, but it was because I had never coordinated my hands and feet in a real fight.
‘If you think you’re going to lose, you have to retreat without regret. ‘I trust you.’
* * *
Fuuuuuuu!
With the explosion, the torn down bushes flew high into the sky.
A black tiger rushed indiscriminately and flew away along with the weeds. Her side was sunken.
The iron beon (鐵幡), which was eight feet long, was no worse than a weapon in itself. Since the Geumgang Yacha Magi was carried there, it was remarkable that the body was not split in half.
Lee Cheon-sang, who had blown away one of the black tigers, charged again and swung his iron sword at the two black tigers in front.
Pow! Whoops!
The head of one black tiger was blown off. But I couldn’t kill the other one. He only broke the two daggers he pulled from his belt.
Faaagh!
The black tiger that was staggering vomited blood and collapsed. Before we knew it, Dan Liu, the new leader of the three who had passed Lee Cheon-sang, had driven an iron fish into the black tiger’s solar plexus.
Papa papapang!
The black tigers encamped in front of the retreat spewed memorization at the main force.
Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes caught the memorization in an instant.
“Don’t touch it.”
Each of the hundreds of memorizations was small and had a bizarre shape.

I knew it instinctively. That memorization must be simply avoided or deflected by techniques such as Charyeok Migi (借力彌氣) and Ehwa Grafting (移花接木).
Unfortunately, Lee Cheon-sang was unable to master such mysterious principles of martial arts.
So what should we do?
Para la la la la rock!
The one-page flag was filled with golden magic.
A terrifying gust of wind swept in front of him as he whipped through the air.
Although it was fired with all the energy, all of the memorized weapons were light in weight. Most of the hundreds of memorabilia were bent to the right and blown away by the gust of internal force caused by the Jeokyachabun.
but.
puck! Pusssss.
Several memorabilia that were not swept away by the gust of wind became lodged in the body of one of the yakshas.
“Oops!”
The memorization embedded in the body exploded, emitting black smoke.
The yaksha’s skin instantly turned black. The three yakshas next to him also experienced similar symptoms.
Slurp!
They fell down without even being able to scream. It was the same death as the black tigers who died while heading toward the retreat.
‘… … .’
After catching a glimpse of the dead yakshas, Lee Cheon-sang strongly stepped on the ground.
Pow!
Danliu’s eyes widened.
‘fast!’
Lee Cheon-sang jumped out of the ground and found himself in a group of black tigers.
The speed was truly like a gale. It was a mind-bending technique that Lee Cheon-sang had never shown before. It was so fast that even the black tigers only looked back at Lee Cheon-sang after he had passed by.
‘My lord!’
I was surprised by the new law for a moment, but immediately became impatient.
The captain jumped towards a place swarming with dozens of enemies. If the leader dies, the unit also takes a critical hit.
Danliu shouted.
“Push it! “Catch up with the monarch, even if it means dying!”
The black tigers, who had turned around in confusion at Lee Cheon-sang’s brutal charge, looked back at the group in surprise at the sudden increase in the bloody demonic energy.
“… … !!”
The calm eyes of the black tigers shook as if there had been an earthquake.
The sight of the demons rushing towards me with their eyes filled with ghost-like magical energy was truly overwhelming.
They also had vague fears and fantasies about the demonic cult. However, the demons I actually encountered seemed to be the same people, just giving off a somewhat bizarre aura.
But it was different now.
A terrible energy that could not be defined was flowing from the bodies of the yakshas who were rushing towards the leader, to survive, and even to kill them.
Magi harmonizes with life and produces a synergistic effect. The sight of the yakshas rushing towards us, with their bodies wrapped in bizarre counter-heavenly demons and the flame of life on their backs, was like the devil itself crawling up from hell.
“Aaaah!”
“Kill me!!”
Manyo was surprised.
It is the rule of the Black Tigers to remain silent no matter what happens during a mission. But the black tigers were screaming and rushing towards the demons.
“You bastards! “Come to your senses!”
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
A black tiger flew in front of Manyo.
You can tell just by looking at it. That guy is already dead.
Manyo pulled out a metal sword.
Lots of cards!
With an eerie sound, the black tiger’s body was cut in half. The cross sections of his severed body were roughly tattered, as if they had been bitten by the teeth of a wild beast.
‘what.’
Manyo’s eyes wavered when she saw the severed upper body of the black tiger.
Phew!
There was a red palm print engraved on the black tiger’s upper body.
It’s not bare skin. It’s on top of the clothes. Still, the red mark remained.
It was Geumgang Yacha Magic Gong, Yacha Blood Field (night-time blood training).
Manyo looked ahead.
Puff! Pow!
There was a wild beast charging at the three black tigers.
It’s like a bull that can’t see anything. But the bull not only had two horns, but also wolf teeth and tiger claws.
Manyo gritted his teeth.
The heavy magical energy emanating from the body of the opponent who was charging recklessly entangled his entire body. It felt like I had fallen into sea water.
“Ugh!”
bang!
Step forward with enthusiasm. Then, the mind and body that had shrunk from the opponent’s energy returned to their original state.
Manyo shouted loudly.
“Why are you using magic that doesn’t work?”
Lee Cheon-sang swung his left fist vigorously. It was a question and answer dance.
pop!
An intangible wind, tightly packed like a hammer, flew towards Manyo.
It was a wind blow. He naturally uses a method of wind blowing that he has never properly used before. It was amazing perfection.
Manyo swung his sword.
Whoops!
It was a rough and sharp slash.
With one blow, the wind was broken into pieces. However, Manyo, who had split the wind, was actually surprised by the intense pain he felt in his grip.
‘this!’
hook!
Soon, Li Cheon-sang, standing in front of Manyo, instantly lowered his posture.
Flash!
A sword, swinging like a thunderbolt, passed over Lee Cheon-sang’s head.
Manyo was shocked.
‘damage?!’
This was a real fight. Now that he had seen the leader of the enemy, it was no time to conserve strength.
The blow that Manyo struck was a secret technique called Black Tiger Daeseom (黑虎大閃). It is an extremely sharp sword with a speed that is difficult to block even if known, and a cutting power that can split rocks.
I avoided that draw as if my opponent had been waiting for it. It’s not that he saw it and dodged it, but he already lowered his stance right before he swung. It was as if he had read the story of Black Lake Island in advance.
Manyo was extremely embarrassed in front of the opponent who had so easily avoided the crushing blow. And his embarrassment instantly made the difference between victory and defeat.
Li Cheon-sang’s left fist dug into Manyo’s side.
Quack!
The large fist broke four ribs and dented them. Manyo couldn’t even scream.
Tearing!
I somehow swung the sword, but the sword was blocked by an iron stroke. The Geodo that hit Cheolbeon had a lot of teeth missing.
Lee Cheon-sang’s knee hit Manyo’s abdomen.
Bye!
Broken ribs were lodged throughout the intestines. Manyo collapsed, coughing up blood.
Quack!
Lee Cheon-sang broke Manyo’s neck as he fell and drove the flagpole into his torso.
Grumbling.
Cheolbeon, which pierced Manyo’s body, cried red as it raised a second flag.
Lee Cheon-sang raised the flag.
Manyo’s body fluttered and danced with the flag of the red nightshade.
“… … !”
The cruel sight forced the fight to stop. Vivid shock appeared on everyone’s faces, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies.
Lee Cheon-sang said calmly.
“Drop your weapons.”
