Episode 282: He is my friend. (3)
The world’s evil monster was on his way to apply for a military service to Invincible Sword, the best expert in Zhejiang Province.
Who would miss the opportunity if they could see it?
The martial people who heard the news joined the procession without hesitation.
And before we knew it, the destination was just around the corner.
“The number of seniors who have joined has already exceeded 300.”
Yu Jin-san sighed at Cheon Il-ho’s words.
As I looked around, I saw crowds of people of all kinds forming a crowd.
“It looks like this is going to put a burden on Soyo Mountain Lodge.”
“Is there any problem? “I just want to watch.”
“Still, they won’t be happy if they’re cornered like this.”
Concern also appeared on the face of Yoo Seol, who was listening inadvertently next to him.
“Grandpa. “What if Uncle Zhang rejects my challenge?”
“It doesn’t matter. “Anyway, if you just find and defeat the Windwalker, his disciple will automatically win.”
“phew. “Then you can’t do that.”
“What’s the problem? “Why are you looking so distraught?”
“If you don’t accept my challenge, those guys will all be in vain.”
As he continued to march, Yu Seol became increasingly friendly with the easterners.
Maybe that’s why I don’t want to see them disappointed.
“Why do we need to care? “They chased after me on their own.”
“But everyone is looking forward to it. “I don’t even know where the Windwalker is.”
I burst out laughing at my granddaughter’s grumbling.
I can’t believe I’ve already become this close to the Easterners. It was truly an amazing level of friendliness.
“No need to worry. Avoiding the fight will not happen.”
“why?”
“If you do that in front of so many people, won’t you be known as a coward? “It is famously the best restaurant representing Zhejiang Province.”
“phew. Well then, that’s a relief.”
“Well, we don’t have any ill feelings, so please be gentle with us.”
Yu Seol, who was in a good mood again, smiled brightly and waved the Yonghwachang.
“okay. “I’ll just pat you nicely with this.”
“What a guy. “The jokes have also increased.”
It was when I was laughing for a moment with my granddaughter.
A group of people was running towards the front from a distance.
They were the Murim people who went ahead, claiming to be guides.
They came a month later and cried out out of breath.
“Um, you’re the biggest monster!”
“why? What happen?”
“There is a problem. The entrance to Ssangnyonggok....”
Ssangryonggok is the name of the canyon where Soyo Mountain Lodge is located.
I had heard that warriors were controlling the road from the entrance.
“They won’t let you in?”
“That’s not it. “The warriors of Soyo Mountain Lodge guarding the entrance are all dead.”
It was something I couldn’t understand. What on earth happened there?
I had to go and check it out.
“Take the lead, mister!”
“Yes Daehyeop!”
It was not far from here.
It was not the time to walk leisurely like before.
As the leader began to pick up speed first, the line shook like a wave.
It was a spectacular sight to see more than 300 martial artists performing a light attack at the same time.
* * *
Ssangryong Valley. It was the name of a canyon with endless rough rock walls rising on both sides.
The entrance looked like two dragons ascending to heaven.
It was a place full of mystery, as if it were heaven.
And in front of that majestic view, a group of corpses were lying scattered.
“How can this be...”
“Everyone is dead.”
The eastern martial arts people could not keep their mouths shut.
Who dared kill the warriors of Soyo Mountain Lodge? It was something I could never understand.
“Please come out for a moment.”
At Yujinsan’s words, the martial arts people simultaneously retreated.
And there were six bodies lying there.
Everyone was wearing gray suits embroidered with lilies.
Cheon Il-ho quietly went behind Yu Jin-san’s back and asked.
“What do you think, old man?”
The footprints left on the sticky blood all had the same direction.
Jinsan Yu couldn’t hide his pride.
“It’s really amazing that you checked that far. “So what do you think that means?”
“It’s one of two things. Either they’re still fighting, or they go in and die.”
“okay. “Then I guess I should go and check it out.”
After a while, Cheon Il-ho, who received a signal from Yu Jin-san, blew the whistle.
“Brothers! “I’m going to speed up from now on, so follow along!”
* * *
A narrow canyon less than two feet wide.
A group of people were blocking this entrance, located in a crevice in the rock wall, breathing heavily.
Their number is about fifty people.
They were the last survivors of Soyo Mountain Lodge.
Among them, not a single one looked healthy. Their bodies were full of wounds, both large and small.
“Now this is the last line of defense, brother. “There is no place to retreat anymore.”
Zhou Meng Nanqian nodded with a dark complexion.
He felt like he was going crazy right now.
An attack by Baekhwahyeolgyo that started out of nowhere.
The mountain hut was devastated by a completely unexpected surprise attack.
“No matter how much we absorbed the remnants of the Demonic Cult, I didn’t know that their power was this much.”
Incredibly, it was not an all-out attack.
The leader didn’t even have a nose to be seen. They invaded with only one armed group.
Hwamugeuk, who was panting next to Jangju, continued to look angry.
“From the beginning, there was no way we could do it on our own. “I should have noticed when the Murim League bastards took a step back.”
“What’s the use of regretting it now? “It was just a moment of pride that brought things to this point.”
The elites of the Soyo Mountain Lodge, centered around Maengnamcheon, conducted another examination.
And across from them, people dressed in black were aiming their swords. The number of people was as much as three times that of Soyo Mountain Lodge.
After a brief lull, both sides seemed to be reorganizing their battle lines.
“But what happened to the old man? Did something really go wrong?”
“Master, you are not the one to die there. “There must be some story.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but if we’re a little bit late, we’ll be annihilated. “It’s a miracle that we’ve survived until now.”
“...If you were planning to come back, you would have arrived a long time ago. “I guess that’s it.”
After finishing speaking, Maeng Namcheon pulled the sword from the center of the examination again.
More than fifty enemies had already died by his hands, but there was no hope in sight.
“When brother’s internal power is exhausted, he will move.”
Chief Jeok Sa-gwang, who leads the Hundred Flower Blood Cult’s blood sword corps, was shining with his eyes.
He hid himself in the gaps between his subordinates and exuded dark magical energy.
“Then what should we do?”
“There are many family members who died because of that guy. “I think it’s the last time, so let’s go out and fight.”
It meant giving up the geographical advantage and running away from narrow streets.
If they did so, they would surely be annihilated. However, there is a low probability that you may be able to capture the enemy leader.
If you’re going to die anyway, it might be better to try something.
“okay.... “It would be better to go without regrets at the end.”
“Give me the signal.”
Maeng Namcheon nodded, raised his sword diagonally and shouted.
“The brothers of Soyo Mountain Lodge are not afraid of death! Let’s all go together with honor!!”
“Waaah!”
“Waaaa!!”
There was no more choice anyway.
The wounded warriors looked exhausted and prepared to charge.
Then the enemies of the Blood Swordsman welcomed it and waited for it to approach.
Now all that was left was Maeng Namcheon’s order to charge.
However, after completing his preparations, he hesitated to take his first step.
Hwamugeuk, who was next to me, asked with a puzzled look on his face.
“Why are you doing this? “Not like a big brother.”
“Hey... look over there. “Something is coming from behind them.”
Clearly, strong dust was rising from afar.
The identity was unknown, but it certainly seemed like a very large number was approaching.
Hwamugeuk looked away as if it was no big deal.
“Don’t you know? There is no force that will come to our aid. “They are reinforcements from the enemy.”
“Damn you guys. “Reinforcements in this situation.”
Even the slightest glimmer of hope was gone. Maeng Namcheon lowered his posture and prepared for the final charge.
And soon, it was time to take the first step.
Suddenly his eyes opened wide.
‘what?’
Maeng Nam-cheon was able to instinctively realize that something was happening at the back of the blood test table.
