Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 706
Seeing the current situation and hearing Chung Myung’s words, most people would think it’s ‘bluffing.’
Despite being called Mount Hua’s disciple, there are now hundreds of Iron Spear Manor warriors with their weapons in front of him.
One against a hundred (일당백(一當百)). One against a thousand (일기당천(一氣當千)).
The reason why such words exist is because it is almost impossible for one person to actually face that many people. There would be no need to praise it if it were an easy task.
Therefore, it is natural and reasonable to accept that the opponent is bluffing to hide his weaknesses if they look at the current situation.
However, those who did not take this as a false statement were the warriors of Iron Spear Manor facing Chung Myung.
The tips of their spears were trembling ever so slightly.
One that shook worse than the tip of dozens of spears was their pupils who couldn’t find a place to focus.
The warriors of Iron Spear Manor are people of Evil Faction after all, so they must be somewhat familiar with the sight of blood. But even they could not cope with Chung Myung’s the murderous intent and the heavy pressure.
“What are you doing?!”
Ban Song, who felt the noticeable dying momentum, roared angrily.
He, too, had a strong foundation in Kangho. He knew all too well that you can lose without even trying if you lose your momentum before a fight.
“The enemy is few! There’s nothing to be afraid of!”
In fact, if it had been Ban Song at any other time, instead of yelling like this, he would have been at the forefront, rushing towards Chung Myung and pushing him back. He knew from countless battles that the fastest and most effective way to boost morale was for the leader to be at the front.
However, right now, he could only yell from the back, unable to muster the courage to step forward.
‘God damn it.’
The hand that blocked Chung Myung’s sword energy was still shaking.
‘What kind of swordsmanship is that…’
Even recalling it was terrifying.
If he had made just a tiny mistake, that sword would have cut through his spear and sliced his body in half.
The momentary fear of death now tied his feet together. It felt as if dark hands were rising from the ground and grabbing his feet.
“Kill them all!”
Yelling loudly was the best he could do to prevent his trembling voice from being exposed.
It may have seemed crude at a glance, but it was undoubtedly effective. These men had trained their whole lives to respond to his commands, so the moment the command was given, they flinched and took a step forward without any regard for their own will.
And once that happened, there was no turning back.
The moment the front line moved, the men guarding the rear all rushed forward as well. The subtle relief that they wasn’t in the front line spurred their steps, and the rising momentum from behind made it impossible for those in the front to stop.
“Haaaah!”
“Dieeee!”
With their eyes wide open and teeth clenched, they charged at Chung Myung.
The fact that they were not alone sometimes gave people unparalleled courage.
However, it was a mistake for them not to remember the fact that excessive courage is just recklessness.
Tok!
Chung Myung took a step forward.
Facing him, about ten iron spears fiercely charged. The momentum was so strong that it could pierce through and instantly turn him into a porcupine.
Chung Myung didn’t move until the spears were almost touching his body.
The moment his gaze, which had sunk like a calm lake, changed, his sword drew a flash in the air.
Taaang!
It was a sword strike that struck rather than cut.
At the moment when he struck the spearhead coming from the front, a strange thing happened.
A spear pushed to the side blocked the following spear. The spears collided with a large sway and tangled with other nearby spears.
Kagagak!
“What!”
“Thi- This!”
It was a mistake that would never have been made if they had used a spear even a little or practiced a joint attack even a little.
In fact, there were no mistakes in the joint attack of the Iron Spear Manor warriors. It was just that their opponent was Chung Myung.
Chung Myung twisted the enemy’s attack into a mess with a single blow and threw his body into the space created as the spears bounced away like a flying fish.
“Ot!”
The sword, which had dropped slightly, struck the head like a venomous snake that had hidden its body in the bushes and flew out in a single shot.
Paaaat!
The soaring sword split into dozens. And they dug into the bodies of the Iron Spear Manor warriors who had not yet recovered from the bounced spears.
Sogok! Sogok! Sogok!
The edge of the sword mercilessly penetrates the fragile human body. It cuts the artery inside the thigh, pierces the abdomen deeply, breaks the bone in the shoulder, and instantly cuts the carotid artery on the left side of the neck.
Paaat!
The blue sword edge dug into the vital points that would not be strange if the breath was cut off instantly. Each movement was accurate and persistent.
Chwaaaak!
Blood spurted like a fountain from the cut areas.
Anyone can tell. If they don’t stop the blood right away, they’ll die. Excessive bleeding can snatch a person’s life in the blink of an eye.
If they don’t want to die, they must drop the spear and cover the wound. The Iron Spear Manor warriors also instinctively let go of their spears and grasped their necks and thighs.
Sogok.
Then Chung Myung passed by them like a breeze.
While his body carelessly brushed past, his sword did not stop even for a moment. Chung Myung’s sword unwittingly cut off the ankles of those with disorganized posture.
Those who couldn’t maintain their balance collapsed like rotten straw.
“Kkeuk.”
Those whose necks were cut could not even scream as they grasped the cut area and fell.
“Aaaargh!”
Those who were stabbed in the thigh and abdomen screamed terribly, convulsed and moaned on the spot.
Different screams echoed, tearing the ears from here and there. Naturally, fear spread.
“….”
It would have been a different feeling if those who had gone ahead had lost their lives with a single strike. It would not be so creepy to see the bodies of those who split in half.
But the sight unfolding in front of them now was unfamiliar even to their eyes, which had seen blood and death in countless battles.
Whenever the swordsman swing his sword, people sprayed blood from their limbs and fell, struggling at every place he passed.
Fear of death was clearly visible in their eyes.
Their oppressed gazes, knowing that they were dying moment by moment, didn’t dare to face him.
Chung Myung’s expression, which created this horrifying scene, looked no different from the beginning. It seemed that this situation was not particularly unfamiliar to him.
The harmony between his expressionless face and the unfolding scene behind him instilled a strange fear in the onlookers.
“I said it clearly.”
A whispering voice, which was not particularly powerful, was strangely heard clearly.
“There’s no warning anymore.”
That buck.
Chung Myung started walking forward again.
As he did, blood droplets fell from his blood-soaked pants.
“Ba- Back off…….”
At the moment when Ban Song tried to shout again.
Paaaaaat!
Chung Myung kicked the ground and rushed towards the Iron Spear Manor warriros at a terrifying speed.
“Heok!”
The startled Iron Spear Manor warriors raised their energy and lifted their spears.
Fundamentally, a spear is a weapon with more advantages in defense than attack. As dozens of spears aimed forward simultaneously, a huge wall of spear tips was formed.
No matter how bold someone is, they would have stopped as they watched the wall imbued with a clear bluish internal strength.
However, there was not even a hint of change in Chung Myung’s expression.
Seeing the wall of spears, Chung Myung accelerated even more and jumped forward, raising his sword towards the sky.
Soon after.
Paaaang!
With a tearing sound, as if ripping through the air, the sword slashed diagonally downwards.
The enormous energy emitted from the sword’s edge created a nearly circular sword energy. The sword energy ruthlessly struck the wall of spears.
Kwaaaaang!
The flying sword energy caused a huge explosion as it collided with the wall of spears. As the blue energy and sword energy clashed, a tremendous whirlwind swept the surroundings.
“Keuk!”
“Ugh!”
Although the upper part of the spear wall collapsed, the spears were not completely destroyed. The remaining ones clenched their teeth and held their spears with bloodstained hands even tighter. No, they tried to.
At that moment!
Paaaaat!
Chung Myung’s sword emitted another sword energy like a ray of light.
It was an attack closer to a spear thrust than a sword thrust.
In an instant, dozens of sword shadows pierced the trembling spear tips precisely.
Spear tip and sword tip.
These tiny points caused dozens of collisions in a split second.
‘What?’
Ban Song opened his eyes wide open.
It doesn’t make sense.
Even if the spear was perfectly still, it was impossible to accurately pierce the tip. And even if that’s possible, it’s even more impossible to stab with the same force as normal strike.
But now, aren’t those spears shaking?
Piercing dozens of shaking spears simultaneously in perfect harmony, each with a different pattern?
That was beyond martial art; it was already in the realm of novelty (신기(新奇)).
Thanks to the previous explosion, those who couldn’t properly hold their spears could not withstand the force coming from the spear tips. Chung Myung’s sword pushed the battered spear back, tearing the palm of its wielder hand.
“Aargh!”
“Keuk!”
The meaning of a spear wall is only when the spears are firmly held upright. Even if a thousand, not a hundred, gathered, a spear wall without holding the spears is useless.
Chung Myung plunged into the completely disabled spear wall.
Paaaat!
His sword ruthlessly pierced the vital points of the Iron Spear Manor warriors like a swift snake.
Sogok! Sogok!
The horrible sound of sharp blades cutting through flesh casually spread.
“Kkeureureuk!”
“Kuaaack!”
Those who had their thighs cut or shoulders pierced were relatively better off.
Those whose throats were cut fell with bloody foam, and those whose lungs were pierced collapsed, exhaling only the sound of air escaping.
“You son of a beast!”
The man who somehow grabbed the spear with his broken palm shouted and jumped into Chung Myung.
In one moment, what made his blood run cold while rushing forward with all his might, was the emotionless, icy gaze of Chung Myung that he suddenly encountered.
At that moment, the face of the man who realized what he had done turned pale.
Puuk!
Chung Myung’s sword penetrated his shoulder like a ray of light.
The hand holding the spear became loose due to the pain and physical shock of the shoulder, and the plunged sword was pulled out faster than it had stabbed and hit the spear.
Kagang!
After finally losing his grip on the spear, he saw dozens of sword shadows flying towards him.
Puuk! Puuk! Puuk! Puuk! Puuk!
Shoulder, chest, stomach, and ankle.
In an instant, a body with more than ten fresh wounds collapsed like a straw mat without any strength.
Tolssok.
The pale and terrified Iron Spear Manor warrior began to falter.
Then, Chung Myung, who turned his body nonchalantly, said with an expressionless face.
“Let’s continue.”
He charged towards the Iron Spear Manor warrior like a streak of black light.
