Episode 254: The Secret of Haereung Island (2)
Kaang-! Sigh-!
A middle-aged warrior was frantically swinging his sword with his long hair flowing.
He still seemed to be carrying a bag of rice on his left shoulder.
There were already more than ten people who had fallen and were lying at the tip of his sword.
Still, his expression was very dark. This is because the number of enemies surrounding him was increasing rather than decreasing.
However, his eyes never wavered as if he would never give up.
“Move!!”
Sigh-! Phew-!!
Once again, the two masked warriors blocking his path fell.
But he couldn’t even take a few steps and his path was blocked.
For some reason, the juggernauts did not have the slightest fear in the face of death.
He gritted his teeth and quickly twisted his upper body. This was because the tip of the sword was suddenly coming in from the side.
Paaaang-!
Although he barely managed to let go of the tip of his sword, his posture was unstable, so he lost his balance and stumbled.
‘Damn it!’
Those wearing white masks were not very threatening. The problem was the black masks that were mixed in here and there.
They were all so strong in martial arts that they could handle sword techniques.
This time, two swords dug in from the left and right at the same time.
The middle-aged warrior gritted his teeth and quickly took evasive action by stepping on foot.
But was it not perfect?
Phew!
It was the sound of a hole being made in the bag that was being carried on one’s shoulder.
Rice began to flow out little by little from the small hole.
Still, he didn’t put it down. He treated it as if it were something more precious than his own life.
Meanwhile, Yu Jin-san, who was watching his struggles from afar, sighed.
Immediately, I pounded my chest as if my stomach was exploding.
‘Throw away the bag of rice, you foolish bastard!’
Even if you run away with all your might, it will be difficult, and you are carrying a bag of rice.
Because of this, it was difficult to move freely and even gaps were visible.
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Jinsan Yu, who was watching with both hands clenched, was momentarily shocked.
‘But why am I rooting for that guy?’
It was a person I had no idea who he was. It wasn’t even related.
However, Jinsan Yu was hoping that he would escape.
Perhaps it was because his desolation overlapped with his old self.
And one more thing.
‘If I help that guy, I think I might be able to get some information.’
Unlike the masked warriors, I saw that their faces were fine, so I felt like we could have a conversation.
But I wasn’t sure if it was worth the risk.
What if I came here with my granddaughter? I couldn’t possibly face a group of hundreds of people alone.
Time continued to pass, and the surrounded middle-aged man gradually became exhausted. At the same time, injuries big and small were increasing one by one.
A decision had to be made quickly. Because the guy wearing the red mask finally started moving.
Kwaang-!!!
With a loud noise, the middle-aged man’s upper body shook violently, as if he would fall.
“Ugh!”
Those who had surrounded him closely retreated, widening the distance between them.
Instead, there was only an unidentified expert wearing a red mask standing tall in front of him.
He stretched out his sword forward and muttered.
“I was waiting for you, Lim Pyeong-il.”
“Are you sure they knew I would come and set a trap?”
Red Mask slowly nodded.
“You can’t run away this time. Will you follow me obediently? “If you come with us, we can make you stronger.”
It seemed like they were trying to capture a person called Lim Pyeong-il and take him away.
At that moment, his eyes sparkled through his tangled hair.
“Don’t be funny. Even if I die, that won’t happen.”
“Then I have no choice but to see blood.”
With those words, Red Mask began attacking Lim Pyeong-il first.
It was a movement on a completely different level from other masked warriors.
Even before I could prepare for the attack, the blade of the sword was already approaching.
However, Lim Pyeong-il was not an easy player either. The way he reflexively swung his sword to defend himself in a split second was outstanding.
Kwaang-!
Due to the heavy shock, Lim Pyeong-il took a step back from the start.
And without missing the opportunity, the Red Mask continued its attack.
Kakaan-! Kakakakang-!!
As the two sword chambers interlocked, a cluster of lights like fireflies glowed dizzyingly.
Naturally, it was Lim Pyeong-il who was pushed unilaterally. It was because I was very tired.
Ultimately, the biggest problem was the strange movements of the Red Masked Warrior.
Yu Jin-san, who was hiding and watching, was also very surprised.
“Why do not you know. We ate together and drank together. “On the way back, we took a boat together.”
At that moment, the sense of wariness in his eyes as he looked at Mount Eugene disappeared to some extent.
“Do you know my brother? “Where are you now?”
Suddenly, Lim Pyeong-il’s tone naturally changed to politeness. Even though he looked like a kid, he intuitively felt that he was a man who had transformed himself from an old man in terms of his martial arts skills and appearance.
“I went back inland. “You’re doing well, so don’t worry about yourself.”
“I’m so glad. “Really...”
He seemed relieved that his younger brother didn’t come to this island with him.
We can discuss the details in a safe place.
“Anyway, it looks like you have some injuries on your leg. Are you okay?”
“There is no problem in launching light attacks.”
Even though I said that, the situation was not good.
This is because the experts wearing red masks were still chasing after them.
No matter how fast I went, it wasn’t easy to outrun them. Rather, the distance continued to narrow.
“Then throw away that bag of rice! “How long are you going to carry that around with you!?”
About half of the rice had already flowed out of the hole. However, he seemed to be holding on to it as if it were a lifeline.
“Those who are with me have not eaten anything for several days.”
“Are you saying there is a hidden resistance force on this island? where?”
“....”
There was no answer. It was not Eugene Mountain who did not know the reason.
“You still don’t trust me. “Anyway, it’s just a little further, so hold on.”
“This would be a dead end. “What on earth are you going to do?...”
The number of people chasing after them wearing red masks was three.
At the current pace, it won’t be long before we catch up.
“Do you see the highest hill in front of you?”
“yes. “It’s probably a cliff beyond.”
Lim Pyeong-il had been on this island for a very long time and seemed to have some knowledge of the geography.
“okay. “You just have to get close to there, so run as fast as you can.”
“Are you really saying we should jump into the sea? Even if you do that, there’s no way you can get away with it...”
He trailed off. Because my back was getting cold.
The enemies must have followed him a short distance away.
Yu Jin-san, who noticed this, slowed down his guard and moved to Lim Pyeong-il’s rear.
The reason he ran away until now was not because he was afraid of the guys wearing red masks. If you spend enough time, it was a force worth fighting alone.
However, he just avoided the fight because he was worried that other experts would come in the meantime.
“I’ll catch these guys, so go up first and get them!”
“yes? “Who, who...”
Yu Jin-san was about to shout something, but his eyes widened.
This is because a dazzling flash of light suddenly flashed on the hill in front.
Yu Jin-san, who recognized its identity, was trembled.
‘Buddha light, one line, one line?’
A ray of light shot from somewhere approached at the speed of light.
Shoot!
It passed over Yujinsan’s shoulder in the blink of an eye.
It was so fast that it could literally be said to be the speed of light.
Fuuuk-!
When I looked back, I saw the red-masked warrior running in front falling over. It looked like he had been hit in the shoulder and lost his balance.
Jinsan Yu was not going to miss this opportunity.
The dragon lance escaped his grasp and advanced fiercely, cutting through the air.
It hit right on the back of the fallen guy.
Phew!
It was the beginning of Bijinchushin (飛進錐身), a spear-throwing family’s spear-throwing technique.
Unlike before, Jinsan Yu had a triumphant face.
He patted Lim Pyeong-il’s waist with a leisurely hand gesture and said.
“Now that’s enough, you can get some rest.”
“yes? But who is that person?...”
His gaze was focused on a girl coming down from the hill.
Isn’t he approaching, stepping through the air, his hair blowing in the wind?
Even though he was just walking slowly, the distance gradually got closer, as if he was using the Chukji technique in the air.
Lim Pyeong-il could not keep his mouth shut at the sight, which was so bizarre that it gave him goosebumps.
“What a mess. “This is the name that will be called the Supreme in the future, so remember it well.”
There are now two enemies left.
They seemed to be embarrassed by their colleague who had been treated in vain.
And the shadow continued to approach them as they hesitated.
“They’re bad kids, right?”
Yu Jinsan immediately nodded.
Although he revealed himself to his enemies, no one knows about Yu Seol’s existence. Except for the guys who followed.
The dead don’t speak.
“These are the guys we need to kill. We have to catch them before they run away.”
Hiding our troops’ strength from the enemy as much as possible was the basis of military strategy.
Yu Seol seemed to know this as well, so he went over their heads and blocked them from leaving.
