Chapter 1133
“Uwaaaah!”
Something popped up like a firecracker in the colorful smoke.
“Aaaaaaaargh!”
One, then another, soared higher and higher.
The rising object created a rainbow in the sky, drawing circular rainbows in the sky.
It is a truly rare and splendid sight. If one looks at it without knowing that the colorful smoke is the poison of Tang Family and that the things jumping out now are people.
Of course, whether they knew the circumstances or not, it would be quite a comical sight to those watching from the outside... but to those inside that smoke, there was no greater tragedy than this.
“Eeeek!”
Another person was hit by Chung Myung’s fist and sent flying far away.
“Run away!”
“H- He’s coming!”
The terrified onlookers turned their heads, only to witness a horrifying scene. It was the sight of Chung Myung rushing forward, piercing through the black smoke, with red rays streaming from both eyes.
‘Mom.’
It was frightening enough to haunt their dream. No matter how scary Heavenly Demon or whatever he was, it couldn’t be more terrifying than this.
Chung Myung, who rushed like a tiger hit by an arrow and possessed by evil, kicked one of the running Mount Hua disciples from behind.
“I! You little shits, I’m so angry!”
“Eeeek!”
With a loud bang, the disciple hit spun in the air, and was flung forward. Everyone’s mouths dropped open in shock at the situation that was completely incomprehensible to common sense.
“Die! You little shits! Die!”
Chung Myung grabbed another victim and threw them to the ground, and began pummeling them with his fists.
“Sa- Sago!”
Tang Soso, witnessing this, tugged on Yoo Iseol’s sleeve, her last hope.
“P- Please do something about it. Sahyung has completely lost it.”
“How?”
“Sa- Sahyung listens to you. Try to stop him!”
Yoo Iseol tilted her head slightly.
“That?”
“....”
“Stop him?”
Um.... I guess I was expecting a bit too much. Yes, Sago.
“Soso.”
“Yes?”
“Run.”
With those expressionless words, Yoo Iseol quickly ran away. There was no change in her expression, but her legs moved with urgency.
“...There’s no hope.”
Tang Soso muttered powerlessly and quickly followed her.
Meanwhile, the ones who had the least understanding of this confusing situation were Beast Palace.
“What kind of ridiculous situation is this?”
“I don’t understand why everyone is making such a fuss. It’s just one person. Even if it’s Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword.”
The reason was simple. To them, Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword was a descendant of Plum Blossom Sword Sovereign, and was simply a friend of Beast Palace who had been recognized by Beast Palace Gungju.
Of course, since they had confirmed the power of Mount Hua at the founding ceremony of Heavenly Comrade Alliance, they had no intention of ignoring Mount Hua Chivalrous Sword which could be called the center of Mount Hua. However, there was no reason to fear that one person either.
Thus, to them, this entire scene seemed nothing short of ridiculous, like watching a well-choreographed Peking opera.
“Maybe they’re just pretending to be scared?”
“Should we play along?”
“Why should we go that far?”
“I think it’s just because of that poison. It seems like poison of Tang Family is more vicious than I thought.”
Beast Palace warriors didn’t feel particularly threatened even when they saw Chung Myung running towards them.
“Hey, hey, don’t hurt him. He’s still a valuable person, cherished by our gungju.”
“Just pin him down properly.”
Those who scoffed lightly stepped forward. Of course, Mount Hua Chivalrous was a master known in Jungwon despite his age, so one-on-one might be difficult. But there were over a hundred Beast Palace warriors present.
Besides, this wasn’t a life-or-death battle. With no real danger of death, there was no reason to be afraid.
“Okay, I’ll go first...”
One of Beast Palace’s warriors stepped forward with a faint smile. First, he planned to grab Chung Myung’s foot.
Of course, Chung Myung was charging at them like a wild beast, but handling beasts was Beast Palace’s specialty. When Chung Myung runs towards them like a wild boar that has been hit by lightning, he plans to sidestep and grab his leg...
“We do need to verify one thing. It’s not that we can’t beat them because we lack authority, but because we don’t beat them, we lose authority.”
“...Yes?”
What do you mean...?
“It’s nothing personal.”
Tang Gun-ak shook his head with a solemn face.
“Of course, I don’t dislike you either, and I find you frustrating, annoying, and frustrating.”
Um... it seems quite personal though?
“But that is something that the person who has ascended to the position of patriarch should naturally take care of. It is not something that should be resolved based on personal feelings. So... I hope you understand this decision wasn’t made out of personal feelings.”
Tang Gun-ak, with the corners of his lips curled up, caught the wooden coin that had been thrown high into the sky.
Everyone was shivering at the feeling that that smile looked similar to Chung Myung.
“Stomp them!”
“Yes!”
As soon as Tang Gun-ak’s instructions were given, the elders who had been guarding him ran towards Tang Family members with their eyes wide open.
“You disrespectful brats!”
“You acted arrogantly, thinking it was your world after the Senate disbanded!”
“You don’t even know what manners are! Back in my day...!”
After the Senate collapsed and power was shifted to the younger generation, the elders, who had been living as old people in the back room, seized this chance to vent their pent-up frustrations.
It was the moment when the old farts who had been pushed out launched a counterattack on Tang Family.
Similar things were happening not only in Tang Family but also in many other places.
“Eek! Gungju-nim! Why are you doing this!”
“Euhahahahahat! This is all training! Training!”
With his huge size, Maeng So was striking down the fleeing Beast Palace warriors with lightning speed, and Seol So-baek, who had appeared before anyone knew it, was giving orders to the elders to strike down Ice Palace warriors in unison.
So, there are two who are being treated unfairly.
“No....”
Namgung Dowi’s face turned pale. Im Sobyeong, standing next to him, also groaned with a dead, dark face.
They could clearly see the heads of various sects beating their disciples senselessly.
“Why are we here...?”
Shouldn’t they be over there with the others? Why were only the two of them here, getting beaten?
And at that moment, someone slowly walked towards them.
“Why?”
“....”
“Why do you think so? Want me to tell you?”
At this moment, the faces of the two who met the person they most wanted to avoid turned ashen.
“That....”
“N- No. Dojang, I don’t think you need to know about....”
“No, no. You have to know.”
Chung Myung chuckled. At the same time, a cracking sound came from his clenched fist.
“Even if others don’t know, you guys should know. Don’t you think so?”
Kwaang!
Chung Myung’s feet dug into the ground.
“I’ll make it clear for you.”
“....”
“Engrave it on your body.”
“Look... Dojang, if you beat me, I’ll die.”
“It’s okay. I’m just beating you to death.”
“...You’re not even human.”
Chung Myung laughed and charged towards Im Sobyeong.
And a little while later.
As the thick poison smoke that had filled the vast training field began to subside, only one person remained standing.
“Hoo...”
Chung Myung wiped his face with his sleeve, his expression thoroughly refreshed.
“I feel so much better.”
“....”
“So, what do you think? Don’t you feel we’ve gotten a bit closer now?”
The half-dead bodies piled on the ground wept silently.
