Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 493
“Speed up more!”
Go Jin-ak, the Leader of the Ice Sword Squad in the North Sea Ice Clan, yelled angrily at his subordinates. A slashing wind blew in their faces, but they did not slow down in the least.
‘A bunch of Mount Hua’s kids.’
The shape of Go Jin-ak’s mouth was slightly distorted.
It’s absurd that the Ice Sword Squad is directly involved in the mission of apprehending such insignificant individuals. It’s an ideal situation to say that you use a knife used to slaughter a cow to catch a chicken.
But they’re the warriors of the Ice Clan.
They must do their best, no matter how insignificant, as long as the mission has been ordered. That was the Ice Clan’s and the Ice Sword Squad’s strategy.
“Daeju-nim!” (Leader-nim.)
A sharp voice came from behind his back.
“A- Ahead!”
Go Jin-ak raised his gaze to the front. Something moving quickly through the blizzard caught his attention.
“Is it a battle?”
“I’m afraid we’re too late.”
“What a fool.”
Go Jin-ak gave a light smile in response to the subordinate’s words.
“The fact that a battle is taking place means that there is an enemy. It means we’re not too late.”
He grasped the sword slung around his waist.
As the cold sword approached his hand, he felt a surge of excitement.
“Come, let’s have fun!”
It was the moment he was just about to kick the ground and rush forward..
“Hm?”
Something strange came to his sight.
Some of the groups suddenly started running their way.
“…… What are they?”
“It looks like they’re coming to deal with us.”
“Ha…….”
Go Jin-ak let out a smirk.
The closer the distance, the more clearly he could see. In terms of uniform or running posture, they weren’t the warriors of the Ice Clan.
“I guess they’re Mount Hua’s kids.”
An obvious sneer stood on his face.
“I’d like to praise the spirit of drawing a sword against us, but they should have known that here are not as soft as the adults in Jungwon.”
The low-pitched Go Jin-ak screamed.
“Overpower them all! Anyone who resists to the end may be killed!”
“Understood!”
Finishing the order, he kicked the ground and speeded up. He had no intention of leaving it to his subordinates alone. It was a measure to take the lead by knocking down that cheeky little fellow running from the lead.
Perhaps the running kid was thinking the same thing, and without the slightest distraction, he was running in a straight line.
‘You cheeky bastard!’
Grabbing his sword infused with internal strength tightly, Go Jin-ak slammed the sword into the head of the one who rushed at him.
Kaaang!
Then, a loud metal sound rang out, and Go Jin-ak’s body bounced back.
‘What?’
He didn’t understand for a moment what had happened to him. It was the excruciating pain he felt in his wrists and forearms and the coldness of the blizzard on his face that caught hold of his fainting consciousness.
Round and round.
He managed to turn around in mid-air and landed on the ground. And he looked forward again with a different look.
An unusually white sword was aimed at him. The face of his standing opponent was terribly calm as his long and well-groomed hair fluttered.
“…… You…….”
Even before Go Jin-ak’s words were finished, the man in front of him opened his mouth.
“I’m Baek Cheon, the second-class disciple of the Mount Hua Sect.”
“…….”
“What about you?”
Go Jin-ak raised his body. Then he raised his sword and aimed it straight at Baek Cheon.
“This one is Go Jin-ak, the Leader of the Ice Sword Squad in the North Sea Ice Clan. In the North Sea, I am called the North Star Sword (북진검(北進劍)).”
“So you are the North Star Sword, Go Jin-ak.”
Baek Cheon gave a brief recount and nodded lightly.
“Forgive me for not having a long conversation. Instead, I will definitely remember the name.”
“That arrogant…….”
The provocation that seems not a provocation made Go Jin-ak’s body tremble. But nevertheless, he didn’t dare to jump at Baek Cheon recklessly.
The heavy pain that still remained in his hand made him hesitate.
‘It was a ridiculous force.’
It wasn’t that big, but he couldn’t understand how he could put that much power on that thin sword.
“Daeju-nim.”
The subordinate, who had come after him, urgently called him as if he had noticed Go Jin-ak’s momentum had died slightly. Only then did Go Jin-ak come to his senses.
‘I’ve shown a terrible appearance.’
He clenched his lips and aimed his sword.
“I admit you’re not an easy opponent. So if my sword kills you, don’t blame me.”
The corners of Baek Cheon’s mouth curled up slightly.
“As you please!”
With a short answer, Baek Cheon kicked the snow field and swung his sword.
“…There he goes again, that yangban.”
“But why are you bastard so rude to our Sasuk?”
“…… Pu- Put your fist down first. It’s a mistake. How did Sahyung become so violent?”
“It’s not that I became violent, it’s that you have lost your mind!”
Hye Yeon, who was running behind Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong, who were arguing, could not find the answer to the conversation.
“Amitabha.”
‘I think you both are right.’
The world is absolutely fair.
“Don’t talk nonsense and concentrate! It’s not easy!”
“Yes, Sahyung!”
Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong’s swords shone almost simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Yoo Iseol’s mouth, which was running silently, opened.
“So-so.”
“Yes, Sago!”
“Next to me.”
“Yes!”
Tang So-so held up her sword and resolutely clenched her teeth. Yoo Iseol softly comforted her.
“I am by your side. It’s not difficult if you just show your skills properly.”
“Yes!”
Tang So-so shouted resolutely and pointed his sword.
Yoon-Jong, Jo-Gol, Yoo Iseol, and Tang So-so, who split from side to side around Baek Cheon in the center, spread their swords.
The sword with sharp energy neatly split the snow falling like petals. Then, it did not stop there but stretched out sharply toward the coming Ice Sword Squad.
Swaeaek!
A sword with lightning flash (섬전(閃電)) speed.
At an unexpected speed, the members of the Ice Sword Squad were frightened and swung their swords.
Kaang!
But Mount Hua’s sword never ended with a single hit.
Paaat!
The bounced sword was thrown out at a faster speed than when swung. The sword, with its unparalleled speed and bizarre movements, can’t be described as anything less than practical.
Chwaak!
The half-frozen leather clothes were split long in an instant, and blood gushed out.
“Keuk!”
After being defeated by only a few exchanges, the Ice Sword Squad reluctantly retreated. Their faces were full of surprises.
‘Fa- Fast.’
They could tell just by exchanging the sword once.
Their swords are incredibly fast and terribly practical.
Those who still look young were like old masters who have been rolling in Kangho for decades, aiming exactly to the vital point with their swords.
Those who received it were about to get goosebumps.
As if they would never give up their chance to win as long as they had gained momentum, Mount Hua’s rising stars stabbed and swung their swords in succession.
“Gasp!”
The Ice Sword Squad tried to get into position somehow. However, more than a dozen swords flew in front of them at once, and there was no way they could take their usual stance.
Once the disorganized posture gradually collapsed, the wielding sword didn’t carry proper energy as a result.
And.
Sogok!
“…….”
The members of the Ice Sword Squad opened their eyes at the sword that quickly cut through their side.
He soon collapsed without even being able to scream properly. Meanwhile, he could see Yoon Jong’s face moving past him without a change in his expression.
Those young warriors, against who have lived as swords in the North Sea for decades and supposedly were more experienced.
Realizing that he had lost his position as a sword warrior, he couldn’t overcome his grief and fell down on the snow.
“Eurachaaaa!”
Jo-Gol’s sword also fell rapidly, moving vigorously.
Kaang!
The man who was pushed back in the face of power and power was pushed back. The more his feet were pushed, the longer the mark appeared over the snow.
“Tat!”
Jo-Gol, who confirmed that the distance was widened quite a bit, swung his sword with a short shout.
The edge of the sword shook violently and dozens of plum leaves bloomed.
Like the snow plum that blooms in the middle of winter.
It was a violent sword, but the plum blossoms bloomed by Jo-Gol matched the white snow terribly. A truly fantastic scene unfolded. The most splendid swordsmanship in Jungwon was now lavishly showing off its beauty in the distant land of the North Sea.
The warrior of the Ice Clan opened their eyes unknowingly at the sight of the flying red plum blossoms.
‘Thi- This sword…..’
Anyone who uses a sword in the Ice Clan has this imagination.
The imagination of wanting to pierce all the snow with a sword. And if they keep trying, they’ll be able to reach that level someday.
But at this moment, they realized.
They should be a little faster if they wanted to get to that point.
If they had, they could’ve stopped these plum blossoms. Now it was impossible for them to wipe out all these plum blossoms that were more than snow.
“Keuuaakkk!”
The plum leaves fluttering with the blizzard swept through their body in an instant. He soon collapsed with shallow cuts all over his body and spewing blood everywhere.
The wound wasn’t that deep, but the impact of cutting dozens of places in an instant was enough to take away his consciousness.
“Good!”
It was when Jo-Gol, who clenched his fist pleasantly, was about to rush toward his next opponent. Yoon Jong’s cold voice came in.
“It’s rough.”
“…….”
“Be cool. This is a real battle.”
“Yes, Sahyung!”
Having managed to get himself together before getting too excited, Jo-Gol hardened his face and lowered his sword a little. Yoon Jong, who confirmed that his lower body was stabilized again, nodded slightly and pushed his sword down slightly.
‘Certainly, this guy…….’
The pace at which Jo-Gol was getting stronger was truly terrifying. It’s just not stable because it’s inherently clumsy. The vibrancy and speed of the sword were to the point where Yoon Jong dared not catch up with him.
But he shouldn’t be satisfied with it. His over-excitement inevitably creates gaps and sometimes leads to unexpected mistakes.
“Let’s go!”
“Yes!”
The two swung their swords at the approaching Ice Sword Squad.
Fast and sharp Jo-Gol’s sword and relatively heavy and serious Yoon Jong’s sword began to swing in harmony as if they were wielded by one person.
Sogok!
Sogok!
Swords that interlocked like gears, and the opponent that fell like a leaf in the autumn wind.
While one is concentrating on the attack, the other blocks the sword that flies in instead and attacks the gaps created by each other’s swords in unison.
While one attacked the front, the other made petals from behind. A sharp energy fell from behind, but there was no hesitation or fear in the movement of the other.
Firm confidence.
And unwavering trust.
In the first place, they were two people who didn’t get pushed back even if they faced the armed forces of Myriad Man House. Although the North Sea Ice Clan is called one of the Five Great Family, there was no way that the North Sea Ice Clan’s armed forces would be particularly stronger than that of Myriad Man House.
Of course, things would have been different just a few months ago.
However, the two now gained solid experience and firm confidence through a fierce battle with Myriad Man House. And it was after they had melted down even the basics that were still lacking back then into their own throughout their trip to Dang Residence.
So there was nothing to fear or hesitate about.
“Let’s get this over with and help So-so, Sahyung!”
“…… Don’t mess with us!”
Each time the red plum blossoms bloomed, the face of the Ice Sword Squad became pale blue.
Petals with colder air than the northern wind and cold snow were coloring the sky of the North Sea red.
“A-Avoid it!”
“Argh!”
Panicked voices and loud screams echoed here and there at the same time.
Jo-Gol’s sword flew like lightning through Yoon Jong’s plum blossoms, which were slowly falling and disturbing the enemy.
The two have not completely let go of the sword in their hands even for a single day since they met Chung Myung. Through their swords, the long ordeal was blooming with splendor like plum blossoms in spring.
Jo-Gol, who completely defeated his opponent, showed his teeth and laughed like a villain.
“I’d be sad if you were surprised by this! My sword is faster!”
“Argh! I told you to stop talking like that!”
……although it bloomed in a slightly strange direction.
