Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 523
Episode 523
Death is fair to everyone (7)
.
Dark red blood flowed from Makwon’s mouth.
‘As expected, it’s still too much.’
Cheonmubyeongjanggi was a divine skill of the ancient times.
His monk taught him one main way of thinking and then had him read numerous martial arts books.
Not only did he practice hard every day, but he also learned a level of academic knowledge that would enable him to excel as a civil servant in addition to martial arts.
The goal is to have both civil and military skills. However, such teachings were not given simply because of ‘knowledge’.
A method of thinking represented by a recluse.
That one mental method shows many different appearances depending on the talent and perspective of the person who has studied it.
Following the monk’s teachings, Makwon read countless books, fought fiercely, dismantled the martial arts books, and further determined his own direction.
What was completed in this way was Cheonmubyeongjanggi. Although it has become completely distant from the original meditation method of the monk, Cheonmu Byeongjanggi has blossomed into a new form of Gongjeolhak.
Even such magical techniques were not enough to remove the poison from the body.
‘The internal and external trauma is severe. ‘The environment there is also not good.’
It was a performance on a running horse.
An expert of Makwon’s level was able to perform comfortably in any situation and any posture. However, if your body becomes this exhausted, your concentration will be disturbed and your luck will inevitably falter.
What he needed now was a safe environment, treatment, and maximizing Shin Gong’s self-recovery ability.
‘I can’t help it.’
The good news is that I can somehow cover up the poison with only a small amount of my strength remaining.
At least for the time being, I won’t be able to run amok. I don’t know how long it will take for the time being.
“Are you okay?”
Hwang Seok-tae, who was running leisurely while practicing divine law, asked.
Makwon nodded.
“It’s okay. “You are suffering because of me for no reason.”
“It was nothing.”
It wasn’t easy to say something like this given Hwang Seok-tae’s personality. This probably means that he respects Makwon as a military man.
It was then.
Fuuuuuuu!
Even though we were twenty li away from the battlefield, we could hear loud noises.
It was incredible explosive power. It was difficult to feel the shock waves or momentum as the distance was so long, but just by the sound, you could guess how passionate and bloody the fight was taking place.
“I’m worried.”
Makwon’s expression was not good.
It had to be that way. Yeon Ho-jeong and Paeyul were amazing experts, but in a broader sense, they were also juniors.
The juniors risked their lives to block the enemy’s attack. Sorry, gratitude, helplessness, and bitterness made Makwon feel uncomfortable.
Hwang Seok-tae glanced back.
It’s not visible. The distance was too far.
But he also heard the explosion.
“Don’t worry too much.”
“Of course, those two are strong…”
“It hasn’t been long since I saw them. “I don’t know what their capabilities are.”
“If that happens, shouldn’t we reinforce our troops? For talented people of that caliber to die because of my life….”
“There was an order from above. Living by orders and dying by orders, that is the Iron Team. And those two also belong to the Iron Team, at least temporarily.”
“….”
“For now, just worry about getting to a safe place.”
Makwon smiled bitterly.
“What else can I say?”
Doo doo doo doo.
The moving speed of the Iron Team became faster as time passed.
In it, Hwang Seok-tae thought.
‘It was said that there were artillery pieces, countless assassins, and even a supreme expert. Moreover, although the supreme expert was said to have suffered a fatal wound, he was said to have engaged in a battle-like battle with Baek Byeong-shin. That alone is huge.’
Why is a legend called a legend?
The reason was simple. Because the dimensions are different.
Seongcheon Thirteen Jwa is a master who is on a completely different level from the martial artists who say it is the pinnacle or the transcendent pinnacle. They are invincible monsters who, even after initially reaching the state of invincibility, have cultivated themselves over a long period of time and have each built their own unique state.
What you see is different and where you stand is also different. The mere fact that a sect of the old sect, a sect of the old sect, can single-handedly unleash such incredible power that it is difficult to block even by mobilizing the entire team’s masters is no longer human.
In other words, the enemy Yeon Ho-jeong was fighting was at least a master who was on the verge of defeat. If you are not that expert, even if you are seriously injured, it will be difficult to stop even one second of Makwon.
‘Can we really stop it?’
It took a little over ten days to travel from Honam to Gwiju. This is a person who has not experienced anything for less than 10 days before. They even said that for five of those days, instead of having a conversation, they were held hostage and just vented their anger.
A relationship that lasted less than a month. There is no reason to worry about Yeon Ho-jeong. Although he is an important person to the Mukryongbu, it would be inevitable if he died here.
However, Hwang Seok-tae could not readily recall Yeon Ho-jeong’s death.
‘He’s an extremely arrogant guy, but…’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s words came to mind.
Strong martial arts and transparent confidence that shows no impurities whatsoever.
‘He has the right to be arrogant.’
In my heart, I wanted to fight together. It was not because of Yeonhojeong, but because of his pride as an iron lord.
The Iron Team is a unit that destroys, destroys, and occupies. This means that it is not a unit specialized in rescuing key figures.
But since the situation has come to this, there is nothing we can do. Now, the priority was to succeed in the mission through flexible situational judgment rather than pride.
‘Don’t die. It would be uncomfortable if we were the only ones left alive.’
* * *
“You’d better stop.”
Beonjak warned the two people who were approaching.
Paeyul chuckled.
“We’ll do whatever we want, so you can say whatever you want. “I allow that level of freedom.”
“If you want to lose your life, come anytime.”
“ok.”
With an insincere answer, Paeyul walked up to Beonjak in stride.
Grumbling.
A golden flame burned from Beonjak’s hand that was touching the ground.
The temperature of the flame was truly amazing. Paeyul stopped walking without realizing it.
“It’s so damn hot. “Even if it’s rotten, it’s not at the standard level, right?”
Paeyul glanced at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Stop. “It would be dangerous to get any closer.”
“Okay, I see you.”
Paeyul confidently took three steps back. Although he had strong pride and a strong will to win, he was not the type of person to risk his life for useless things.
Yeonhojeong aimed the white dragon at Beonjak.
Beonjak’s eyes were slightly shaken. Embarrassment that I could not stop with my will appeared in my eyes.
“Hey yellow light.”
“….”
“You know the guy named Lee Ho-gun Cheon Gang? “Do you know that he is locked up in Bonmaeng’s prison?”
“…!”
Beonjak’s eyes deepened.
I had a guess. But I had no idea that he had been kept alive until now.
Of course, I wasn’t too worried.
He knew Tian Gang very well. Although he sometimes shows a frivolous and thoughtless side, he is at least very loyal and fierce.
“What do you want to say?”
“Do you want to be part of the corpse body or do you want to join hands with that guy and cooperate with us?”
Beonjak snorted.
“What a funny guy. “You don’t think I’m the type of person who would be trusted even if I cooperated?”
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded obediently.
“I don’t believe it. “Would you believe it if it were you?”
“But why are you saying such bullshit?”
“I don’t know.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
Honestly, I didn’t know why I said this. I just felt like it would be inconvenient to kill him now.
‘It takes a while, though.’
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was deep in thought, quickly nodded.
“good.”
Moment.
Whoa whoa!
“Ugh!”
He tried to avoid it at all costs, but Yeon Ho-jeong’s magic was too fast.
Beonjak’s face distorted. The white dragon part embedded in the thigh of a healthy leg dug into the texture of the muscle.
Fuwaaaaaaa!
The artery where the window was pierced was also torn. I stopped the broken artery from curling up and bleeding with the Geumje Sunhwa Jingi, but this happened again.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I hurriedly divided the spirit and led him to the thigh where the ax was embedded.
Huh.
The flames swirling in Beonjak’s hands lost their momentum.
The internal injuries were severe and both legs were blocked. The newly torn artery had to be tied off and the blood vessel from rolling up to the upper body had to be prevented.
There was also severe bleeding. Even so, Heoyeon Beonjak’s face was already looking bluish.
No matter how great the anger is, it cannot even restore the blood that was spilled.
If massive bleeding were to occur here again, survival would be impossible, even if it were the prosperity of the world.
“I’d like to ask you something else to organize my thoughts.”
Yeon Ho-jeong squatted down as if showing off.
The posture is very proper. After being dispatched to Mukryongbu, he seemed to be returning little by little to his past life of living in the back alleys of Heukdo.
“It seems like you are acquainted with that gentleman, Baek Byeong-shin.”
“….”
“Well, you can ask that guy for more details. “There’s something else I want to ask you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.
“You’re not just trying to harass that guy, are you?”
Beonjak did not answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong ignored Beon-jak’s reaction without an answer.
“Whether you occupy the imperial palace or take control of the government office, that is the situation of your Shinhwa Church.”
“….”
“The remaining Saeum Church and Gwanghyeol Church must join forces to overthrow the powerful martial arts group.”
“….”
“Of course, I know that you also have quite a few Seongcheon-level strongmen. I know that war isn’t a fight fought with only troops, right? “You have to plan a strategy, you have to pay attention to supplies, and sometimes you have to give up your pieces to take advantage of the opponent’s pieces.”
“….”
“In other words, from your perspective as the invaders, it would be better to eliminate our best troops as much as possible. “Not only do we have to eliminate variables, but even if we win, it shouldn’t be an honor that only brings us hurt.”
That was the basis of war.
People who don’t know say: When troops come together, one side must be annihilated to win.
But such things rarely happen in real war. When a large army joins, if one side suffers more than 20 to 30 percent of the damage, it is said to be annihilated.
Annihilation as a word definition and annihilation in military terms are different.
In a military war, annihilation was an expression used when it was impossible to continue the battle.
The enemy’s troops are fine, but our troops have lost about 20 to 30 percent of them?
It is an unconditional retreat. Because there is no point in fighting anymore.
In a meaningless fight, if you pursue the enemy until the end and kill them all with the goal of collapsing their power, then the expression ‘annihilation’ is used.
It was the difference between annihilation and destruction.
That’s why even when a situation arises where the enemy’s troops must be destroyed, they are not destroyed. This is because the moment the war becomes a battle of life and death rather than a battle of annihilation of victory or defeat, both sides are on the path to destruction.
That is why war does not easily break out. Even if it gets up, it will never root out its opponent unless the difference in power is extreme.
That is war and politics.
“No matter how much I thought about it, Baek Byeong-shin didn’t seem like the first target.”
“….”
“No matter how it started, you very naturally pursued and cornered the Baekbyeongshin army. “It’s absolutely impossible if you don’t have experience.”
“….”
“Now, let’s ask the proper question.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked in a cold voice.
“New Emperor and the Three Princes. How many of them did you roast and boil and how many did you kill? “How many people are left?”
