Return of Mount Hua Sect - Chapter 766

“Keuk, this is too much!”

Jo-Gol, Cho, whose face was distorted, bit his lips tightly.
The martial masters of the pirate bands who stayed around the Chaeju surrounded Chung Myung, and the remaining pirates flocked towards them all at once.

“Sa- Sahyung! There are too many of these bastards! The more the merrier!”
“We’re outnumbered! You idiot!”
Yoon Jong yelled in the midst of it all as if he were about to burst. Even on his face, signs of struggle began to show little by little.

‘Damn it. There are just too many of them.’

The Eighteen Water Fortress of the Yangtze River and the Seventy-Two Fortress of Nokrim are both treated almost equally as members of the Five Great Evil Sect. In other words, one Water Fortress is as powerful as four or five ordinary mountain bandit strongholds.

Of course, Water Fortress that rarely deviates from the Yangtze River have topographical advantages, so it is possible to think that way, but even so, the fact that one Water Fortress is comparable to most of the three mountain bandits’ strongholds remains unchanged.

Mount Hua had mobilized almost all its disciples to subdue Daebyeolchae. Let alone the masters, it was impossible for Five Swords to even confront a Water Fortress, with scale and prowess that could compete with Daebyeolchae, all on their own.

‘But whining won’t help!’

It was the moment when Yoon Jong clenched his teeth.

“Argh! What the hell are you doing! Monk! Hurry up and blow them in one shot!”

“N- No….”

Hye Yeon, who dyed his face red, was heard protesting as if he was falsely accused.

“My internal strength is not an endless spring! I can’t fire powerful blows endlessly, Siju!”

“What the hell are you talking about! Why would a Shaolin person run out of internal strength!”

Tears well up around Hye Yeon’s eyes.

‘Rotten things…’

Apparently, they thought he ate elixir-like food, just like them.

No matter how much Hye Yeon was a disciple who had been raised with great care in Shaolin, they could not build up his internal strength by feeding him a few pills of Daehwandan. All he had eaten was one Daehwandan pill.

Shaolin had bestowed upon him the Daehwandan pill they cherished as their supply of elixir was drying up. So when he received it, he even shed tears at the grace of the sect, but when he saw Mount Hua doing it, complaints rose toward Seongsan Mountain.
‘Just give me one more pill…!’

Then there would be no reason to listen to this hateful human’s nagging.

“Then you should have given me at least one Jasodan pill in the first place!”

“Ugh! Coveting elixir of another sect! I didn’t see that coming from you!”

“Right.”

“He’s greedy.”

‘…These dog-like Mount Hua.’

In the midst of this hardship, seeing that they were in harmony and so adept at tormenting others, he felt like turning around and running away, regardless of Water Fortress or any other sect.

“Argh! Hurry up and blow them!”

“Euuaaaa!”

Hye Yeon gritted his teeth and raised his internal strength.

“Taaaap!”

Kwaaaa!
Soon, a power like a waterfall was unleashed, but certainly, this time, it felt a bit disappointing compared to before. Mount Hua’s disciples, who were watching the energy rise like a dragon and dwindle like a loach, looked back at Hye Yeon with an expressionless face.

“…N- No….”
And then they turned their gaze back to their original position.

Eventually, tears flowed from Hye Yeon’s eyes.

‘Fell into hell, damn Mount Hua bastards!’

“Shut your mouth and concentrate!”

At that time, Baek Cheon swung his sword hard and broke into the gap created by Hye Yeon. And at the same time, he bit his lip.

‘Damn it!’

Baek Cheon knew that everyone wasn’t just chattering because they couldn’t concentrate. As the situation deteriorates, they pretend to be bright and talk to cheer up. Trying to act as if nothing’s wrong.
Even if they were in perfect shape, facing all of them would be impossible, let alone being intoxicated, then how grim would the situation be?

They haven’t lost all their strength yet, but they couldn’t help but be stunned when they saw the incoming pirates.
“Be careful, Sahyung!”

“Huh?”

Baek Cheon turned his head at Yoo Iseol’s voice.

Five frighteningly sharp harpoons were flying in at the same time.

“Keuk!”

Baek Cheon clenched his teeth and swung his sword. Even if he couldn’t dodge all of them, he had to knock down two or three….

It was just then.

“Nooooooooo!”

A voice that was both delightful and… incredibly dreadful erupted from the front.

Kwaaaaaang!

At the same time, the pirates rushing around Baek Cheon were blown away like dried leaves.

“Chung Myung-ah!”

The words of Chung Myung pierced the ears of Baek Cheon’s ear, who raised his voice out of joy.

“These humans, have you all been eating bloody porridge all this time! Why? Did you starve because Sect Leader didn’t give you money? How can a swordsman have as little energy as this! If you die like this, do you think Yuanshi Tianzun will welcome you with open arms while doing a shoulder dance?”
‘Ah… I feel like I’m going crazy….’

Instead of Baek Cheon, who was distracted by the storm-like nagging, Jo-Gol screamed and protested.

“It’s much, you son of a beast!”

“Even if it’s many, it’s just a number. Have you ever seen a tiger that can’t handle a lot of rabbits?”

Chung Myung, who clicked his tongue, drew his sword and turned around.

“Now, let me show you…..”

Then, the sight of countless pirates dressed in blue clothing staggering toward him filled his eyes.

“….”

‘Um… It is a lot.’

‘Uh…’

‘No, shit. It’s not just a lot, it’s excessively a lot?’.

Chung Myung looked back again.

“Is the current Emperor extremely incompetent?”

“What kind of madness are you talking about all of a sudden, you bastard!”

“Ah! Cover your ears, ears! I hear nothing.”

Chung Myung tilted his head in wonder.

“No, even if there are many, does it make sense that there are this many? It’s not like they are chicks caught in a net and raised.”

“It’s a Water Fortress! Water Fortress! Of course there are many!”

“……Hoho, it’s the end of the world.”
What a flood of pirates. What is the world going to be like!

At that moment, a sharp harpoon poured into Chung Myung’s face.

“But this bastard!”

Chung Myung, who struck the harpoon with the back of his hand and kicked the groin of the attacker, caught a glimpse of the pirate who collapsed without even screaming and then reacted with anger.

“Come see! If there are many, what are people like them could do! I’ll send them all to the underworld!”

“Chu- Chung Myung-ah!”

“Oh, don’t worry! I’m taking care of it! I can do this all day!”

“That’s not it, you punk!”

“Huh?”

“Behind, behind! A ship!”

“Yes?”

Chung Myung anxiously looked in the direction Baek Cheon was pointing. Pirates at the back were running towards the merchant ship, making a major detour from Mount Hua’s disciples.

“Why are they going to that ship? They’re not idiots. We’re not going to run away anyway.”

“There are commoners on that ship!”

“Commoners?”

“Yes! The people who were on the ship!”

“Oh, commoners? I thought…..”

Chung Myung grinned and then his eyes popped open.

“But why are you just watching! You punks! Stop theeeeeem!”

“Damn it, shit!”

“Just do one thing, just one! You bastard!”

Jo-Gol and Yoon Jong ran desperately toward the ship, blocking the pirates’ path. Tang Soso exclaimed.
“But Sahyung! There are too many! Can we really handle this on their own?”

“Hmm.”
Chung Myung said while stroking his chin.

“Do you want me to be honest with you?”

“Yes!”

“No way.”
“……Don’t tell me honestly, you yangban.”

“You asked me to be honest.”

Chung Myung smiled brightly. Tang Soso held back the urge to put the needle in her hand to his face.

“Frankly speaking, Water Fortress is a place that is stronger than some Ten Great Sect. Among them, one pirate band will be equivalent to at least one sect’s armed force.”

“That’s right.”

“But how can the seven of us win without damage? Have some conscience!”

“…Sasuk. Is it okay if I let out my poison just once?”

“No.”

Baek Cheon sighed and pointed his sword forward, threatening the pirates, and said.

“Chung Myung-ah. In other words, that means we can win if we endure some damage, right?”

“Yes. That was the case before I knew there were commoners on that ship. But can we just let those people die?”

“……No. We can’t do that. Absolutely not!”

“This is why Righteous Factions are tiring.”
Chung Myung shrugged.

In practical terms, they need to calculate more, but as long as they start targeting the commoners wisely, the chances of winning are less than half.

If they were not poisoned and were in perfect condition when Chung Myung joined, it would be a different story.

“So there’s no way?”

“Ha. Again, I…….”

“Yeah, you’re not even in perfect condition, after all. What’s impossible is impossible.”

“That’s not what I’m saying.”

“That’s it! We can only fight hard.”

“No, listen to me!”

Chung Myung yelled as if he were impatient. And everyone who looked at the scene admired him inwardly.

‘Isn’t he a trainer at that point?’

‘I want to learn.’

Chung Myung gritted his teeth and snorted.

“There’s no way this body can’t handle something like this. I’ve prepared everything!”

“Prepared?”

“That’s why I took my time.”

“……Did you do something else while you were running all the way here?”

Is he a human?

When everyone looked at Chung Myung with a puzzled face, Chung Myung puff out his chest.

‘That’s right, this is the gaze! You should look at me like this!’

“If it doesn’t work out with just us, we’ll just have to bring more!”
“Do- Don’t tell me…!”

Baek Cheon opens his eyes wide.

“Did the other Saje come? Along with Sasuks too?”

“No way.”

“…Huh?”

Chung Myung crumpled his face and said curtly.

“If those yangbans can get here this fast, why would I bother coming here! I’d be lying in a hammock in Mount Hua, having the time of my life!”

Ah…… So you plan to do that later……

No, that’s not the point!

“Then what?”

“I mean useful people don’t only exist in Mount Hua. It should be about time?”

Chung Myung looked up at the cliff with a mischievous smile.

A little earlier, he had sent out his sword energy to the top of the cliff. If that guy saw it, he would have recognized it by now and arrived accordingly.

“Hey, man! What are you doing? Are you going to show up after we’re all dead?”

Chung Myung shouted loudly over the cliff. Everyone looking in that direction had a glimmer of hope in their eyes. Even the pirates who had kept them in check and threatened to narrow the distance turned their heads in surprise.

‘On the cliff?’

‘Wh- Who’s there?’

Tension hovered through the space in an instant.

“….”

“….”

An odd silence followed for a moment……

“Nobody’s there?”

“What the?”
The pirates looked back at Chung Myung with dismay. And even Mount Hua’s disciples asked Chung Myung with dumbfounded faces.
“Was he dreaming?”

“What did we expect?”

“Thi- this isn’t it.”

Perplexed Chung Myung’s eyes shook.

“Hey! You bastard! Aren’t you coming out? You’re not coming out right away?”

“…Just stop it, Chung Myung. This is embarrassing.”

“Even if we’re to die, at least let us die while keeping our face. What’s this?”

“Who’s dying!”

Chung Myung shouted out loud.

“Hey! Do you need your lung disease to relapse to get your act together? Aren’t you coming out right now?”

“I’m comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!”

At the sudden voice, everyone’s gaze quickly turned back to the top of the cliff. The desperate and loud cry had clearly erupted from the top of the cliff.

‘Do- don’t tell me?’

Far up on the cliff.

A man was hurriedly running down, clutching his stomach, and bent over.

“Heok! Heok! Heok! No! How can a boat be faster than people running?”

A ship is originally faster than a person running, but it also depends on the person.

Baek Cheon, upon spotting him, involuntarily opened his mouth wide.

“No- Nokrim….”

Why is he coming out of here?

“Nokrim King?”

Im Sobyong straighten his waist and held up a fan.

“It is taboo to deal with pirates in the water.”

And he gently waved the fan in front of his face. His complexion had improved considerably since before, but his pale face was filled with a confident smile.

“But fighting in the water might be a bit tricky, right? Isn’t that so, guys?”

“Yes!”

“Go. Let’s taste the blood of those pirates before that guy gets angrier.”
Im Sobyong pointed forward with a twisted smile. At the same time, dozens of ropes descended down the long cliff-like golden ropes announcing the festival.
