Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 589
”Heeeuuaaappp!”
“Uoooooo!”
Mount Hua and Daebyeolchae stormed at each other.
Swaeaeaek!
The sword was as fast and brilliant as ever, and the dao that welcomed the sword was very strong.
Kaaang!
A deafening metallic sound rang out when the sword and the dao collided.
“Keuk!”
“Iik!”
The moment they faced each other’s weapons, their expressions hardened.
“It’s not easy!”
“Don’t let your guard down!”
It was Mount Hua’s side who shouted first.
They’ve already dealt with Jogungchae and Hyolrangchae, but the power from the dao now is completely different. It was the moment when they could clearly realize why only the name of Daebyeolchae had been heard so much even though there were three Stronghold here.
And that feeling was the same for Daebyeolchae.
“Th- These bastards!”
“Don’t back off!”
Sometimes, someone understands each other more with a single sword than a hundred words, just like the situation of the Mount Hua disciples and the Daebyeolchae bandits. Gagagak!
Un Gum, who pushed away the Giant Ax (대부(大斧)), shouted with a firm complexion.
“Don’t fight back with your strength!”
“Yes, Instructor-nim!”
Un Gum’s eyes slightly darkened.
‘They’re not easy.’
Un Gum couldn’t boast that he knew Kangho’s situation well. But at least he could be sure that the martial art and training of the bandits they were dealing with now were incomparable to the previous ones.
‘Is he really aiming for the position of Nokrim King?’
Bandits are, after all, those who follow the strong.
Therefore, stronger bandits flock to the Stronghold with stronger bosses. In the end, the power of Chaeju symbolizes the power of Stronghold.
So if you think about it backward, you can guess the power of that Go Hong.
‘But in the end, it’s still a bandit!’
Un Gum believed in Mount Hua’s power more than anyone else.
None of the disciples he taught were lazy. At least in recent years, they have endured the hard training that no other sects would dare to imagine without a word of complaint.
No matter how much Go Hong had trained the bandits, there was no reason for Mount Hua’s disciples, who had endured the training with the desire to be strong themselves, to fall behind the opponent.
Un Gum did not believe in his own teachings. He believed in his disciples who overcame the teachings.
“Believe in yourself! You’re strong enough already!”
The loud cry of Un Gum, which is not usually heard, gave strength to Mount Hua’s disciples.
“Yoon Jong, Jo-Gol! Support the left!”
“Yes, Sasuk!”
“Sago! To right side with Soso!”
“Yes, Sahyung.”
Responding quickly to the situation, Baek Cheon moved toward the center like lightning.
Paaat!
His sword penetrated the neck of the bandit who was wielding the sword against evil.
“Keu…… Keureuk…..”
With the sound of boiling blood, the bandit turned upside down. However, Baek Cheon did not even look at the fallen and swung dozens of swords and sword energy at the next bandits.
“Aaargh!”
“My legs! Aargh!”
Kung!
Then he advanced with great force.
‘Words alone cannot lead.’
He has seen enough already. What it’s like to lead a person.
When someone truly trustworthy leads from the front, the followers can unleash power beyond their limits. Didn’t he already feel it when he looked at Chung Myung’s back?
‘We can’t just chase him around forever.’
He is always supposed to be Mount Hua’s Sect Leader.
He was not the one who would be led, but one to lead.
Pareureu.
The edge of his sword shook and soon spewed out dazzlingly beautiful plum blossoms.
“Sahyung!”
“Watch Sasuk’s back!”
Needless to say, his Sahyungs knew his intentions and stood firm around him.
A slight smile rose around Baek Cheon’s mouth.
“Let’s go, Mount Hua!”
“Yes!”
The Five Swords and first-class disciples stood in front and took the most dangerous place and led Mount Hua with fierce momentum.
Meanwhile, Li Jeongbang, who was watching the situation, wrapped his head.
‘What the hell is this?’
They shouldn’t fight like this.
Hasn’t it already been confirmed that Mount Hua’s power exceeds theirs? There was no chance of winning head-on.
But that damn Chaeju was facing the enemy head-on without taking advantage of his geographical advantage or numerical advantage.
Borrowing Sobyong words, he committed only the things that he should not have done.
The difference is obvious.
In terms of absolute power, their side may be stronger. Of course, in terms of the martial arts each one has, Mount Hua is clearly superior, but considering the difference in numbers, it is difficult to conclude that their power is inferior.
But the momentum of the current battle was clearly directed towards Mount Hua.
‘No matter how much I think about it, this is impossible.’
Those who had not yet lost their baby fat on their faces were moving perfectly together like soldiers who came to fight a hundred battles.
That was not just organizational power, it was trust.
No matter how much Nokrim trained and trained, they could not completely surrender their life to the man standing next to them and fight. Because it is impossible to overcome the distrust that is deeply ingrained in your bones through training alone.
But those Mount Hua guys are wielding their swords, completely trusting those around them.
They believe that their Sahyung will stop the sword they can’t block, and that someone will solve the enemy that they can’t handle.
That’s what sect is all about.
When people who have lived differently from each other believe and trust each other under one name, their strength is multiplied several times.
Those who lead risk their lives to ease the burden on those who follow, and those who follow do their best to protect those who lead.
“A- Aaargh!”
“What, what do you……!”
The war situation was clearly pushed in their favor even at a glance. Mount Hua’s sword warrior cut and pierced the center of the wide-ranging Daebyeolchae without hesitation.
If this continued, the center would have been completely penetrated shortly after.
“Cha- Chaeju!”
Li Jeongbang looked at Go Hong’s back in confusion.
Despite the obvious defeat, he watched the situation and didn’t think about moving. Li Jeongbang’s insides burned to black at the carefree appearance.
‘Could this, he really doesn’t have any thoughts?’
He eventually scraped his courage and ran to Go Hong.
“Chae- Chaeju!”
“Hum.”
When he saw Li Jeongbang making a fuss right next to him, Go Hong turned his eyes, slightly twitching his eyebrows.
“If- If you leave it like this, the damage will be too great! Five Tigers (오호(五虎))! Let’s pull out Five Tigers!”
Five Tigers were henchmen raised by Go Hong himself.
The only thing that can turn the war upside down and change the situation is a master. That high spirit could have been dampened if they had stood at the front.
“Five Tigers?”
“Yes, Chaeju! If it’s too late, there’s no turning back…”
At that moment, Go Hong grabbed Li Jeongbang by the collar and threw him to the ground.
“A- Aaargh!”
“You useless fellow.”
“Chae- Chaeju?”
Go Hong’s face was strangely twisted.
“Look!”
He shouted, pointing forward. Seeing the place pointed by the fingertips, only bandits were being pushed back endlessly.
“What, what am I supposed to see?”
And it’s just the scene of Mount Hua digging into the center and cutting down bandits mercilessly.
“Can you see?”
“Yes?”
“Tsk tsk. Aren’t they coming into the center? As if they’re asking to be surrounded by themselves!”
Li Jeongbang distorted his face at the confident remark.
“Chaeju! A siege is only meaningful when you have the power to knock down your opponent. Encircling an opponent with insufficient strength means inviting individual defeats!”
Li Jeongbang, whose frustration reached its peak, couldn’t hold back and screamed.
Normally, it would have been unimaginable, but with his life on the line, nothing was visible.
Didn’t this stupid guy make him die along?
“If we don’t have enough power, yes.”
“What are you talking about? You’re out of your mind…….”
Cholssok!
Kwadang!
Go Hong slapped Li Jeongbang on the cheek.
Li Jeongbang, who fell to the ground in one hit, immediately groaned, grabbing his swollen face.
“He was right when he said not to discuss anything with you. You incompetent bastard!”
“…….”
Li Jeongbang looked blankly at Go Hong while clutching his cheek.
‘He?’
‘What does he mean?’
‘What the hell is he talking about?’ “Kekekek. From beginning to end, nothing is wrong. He’s like a ghost. He’s really like a ghost!”
“Chae- Chaeju?”
“I don’t know what he’s doing behind the scenes, but that ability alone is a hundred times more reliable than you guys!
Satisfaction gleamed in Go Hong’s bloodshot eyes.
“Lack of power? Hahaha!”
He hit the ground hard with a giant guan dao in his hand.
“Then I’ll just have to add more power! Everyone, come out! Kill all those fearless brats!”
Li Jeongbang wondered if Go Hong had gone crazy.
‘Who is he asking to come out? Huh?’
‘No. It’s not Five Tigers. If it was an obvious ploy using Five Tigers, there was no way he would make such a fuss.’
‘Then who?’
‘Does it mean he has been allied with another Stronghold without me knowing?’
No. If Go Hong had such skills, this would not have happened. Even because of his impatient personality, isn’t Go Hong the person whom other Stronghold secretly looked down upon?
‘Then what the hell…’
It was just that moment.
Kwaaang! Kwaaaaaang!
Along with the huge sound of explosions as if there was a cannon, the wooden fence surrounding Nokchae collapsed at once.
“Hiik!”
A hazy cloud of dust came into Li Jeongbang’s eyes as he turned his head in fright.
“…….”
The moment when the mountain breeze blew away the thick dust.
‘Wha- What, they are?’
Unidentified bloody people appeared. Li Jeongbang opened his eyes wide.
The number of them who suddenly appeared behind the wooden fence was about fifty at most. In a place where more than six hundred people faced each other, the number fifty might seem absurdly small at first glance.
However, as soon as they showed up, everyone in this place had a hunch that something unusual would happen.
The bizarrely thin sword (세검(細劍) /Rapier) in the blood-red uniform made the viewer feel horrified. But more than that, what caught their attention was the suffocating feeling of killing intent that they felt from them.
“Hahahahaha!”
Go Hong laughed his head off.
“You bastard who only trusts your head! The world doesn’t just move inside your head!”
Im Sobyong stared at the strange martial artist with an unusually serious look.
‘What the hell is it?’
He has never seen them before.
He can guarantee that they were not bandits of Nokrim. There was no sign of Nokrim in their appearance and energy.
His back was soaked in a cold sweat in an instant.
‘This was all a trap?’
That Go Hong set a trap?
Just as he realized something was terribly wrong, Go Hong’s guan dao aimed at Mount Hua’s disciples in the center.
“Kill them all! Do not leave even one alive!”
As soon as those words were spoken, the blood-colored men crossed the fence and advanced.
When the situation changed, everyone could not hide their bewilderment.
“I knew this would happen.”
But Chung Myung, who was watching the situation, clicked his tongue and stepped forward.
“Hey, Sasuk.”
“… What is it?” “Training ends here.”
“Huh?”
Chaeng.
The Dark Plum Sword was pulled out of Chung Myung’s scabbard.
“From now on, it’s a real battle.”
Cold killing intent began to flow from his eyes, which had darkened instantly.
