Episode 423: The Yin-Yang Twin Monsters Go (3)
The south of Dunhuang, a city on the desert, was filled with an unknown tension.
The atmosphere was like the eve of a storm, and I felt a sense of gloom.
Mud-brick houses made of dirt and sand were lined up here and there, and someone was hiding in one of them from the moonlight.
‘Was it a trap after all?’
The person who secretly approached this place, relying on a single sword, was Geomhu (劍后) Soso.
The target was right in front of me, but I couldn’t take any action.
I only noticed it after I came here.
That there are masters with strong martial arts skills hiding in various places around him like him.
Because the situation was like this, there was nothing I could do on my own. This was the place where most of the Heavenly Axis experts gathered.
‘ha. There really is no answer to this.’
The purpose of her coming here is to help the prisoners escape.
About thirty prisoners were sitting together as far as the eye could see.
The hands and feet were tied with special ropes, and the neck was filled with a gold ring that suppressed the use of internal energy.
Even if they were released, it was doubtful whether they would be able to fight together. Because most of them looked very broken due to harsh torture.
It was a situation without even the slightest hope.
Soso, who was worried, sent a message to someone in the prison.
– I’m sorry. I need to save you, but the situation is not good.
A middle-aged man sitting in zazen with matted hair and bloody face.
Hwang So-cheon, the commander of the Changryongdae and the provincial commander, shook his head once with a faint smile.
– Go back. You don’t have to risk it for us.
– If I go back like this, you will all die.
– It doesn’t matter. Because everyone, including me, was going to waste their lives like this from the beginning. This is our destiny, determined from birth.
Su Xiao felt sorry for Huang Xiaotian and his subordinates.
They were all born with an unfortunate fate.
How could it have been their choice to be kidnapped as a child and become Changryongdae after undergoing hellish training?
For now, they probably just carry out their duties mechanically because they don’t want to deny themselves life.
– There are ambushes everywhere, but I’ll give it a try. Can you fight with me?
– Everyone is not feeling well. You can only fight for a little while.
– That’s right...
– I guess we were wrong, so please return to Socheonseong and give strength to Cheonyuhoe. If they too collapse, there will be no future in this world.
Soso just sighed as if he was sad.
This was because I was frustrated with the current situation where I could not do anything even though I had people in front of me who I needed to save.
It was then.
“Bring out the guy on the far left!”
Shirtless, muscular warriors began dragging another person out.
At that sight, his comrades imprisoned in prison cried out loud.
“General Kang!!”
“General Kang can’t do this, you guys!!”
“Kill me first, you bastards!!”
He was one of the Five Great Generals, the five most outstanding generals in the country.
He was also Huang Xiaotian’s right-hand man and had a great reputation in the military.
Such a person is publicly executed like a death row inmate. Of course, his subordinates couldn’t help but roll their eyes.
However, General Kang was not afraid of his own death at all.
“Do not mourn my death. “All you have to do is take one step first.”
Kneeling helplessly, he quietly stared at Huang Xiaotian inside the prison.
He was a superior who had been by his side and assisted him throughout his life.
What needs to be said? We could tell each other’s feelings without having to say anything.
And Soso, who was secretly watching the scene, couldn’t do anything and just rolled his feet.
Slurp-!
The great sword held by the executioner with both hands was raised high in the sky.
The day of Daedo sparkled in the moonlight and filled with life.
He naturally prepared for the execution, as if he was very familiar with the current situation.
Soso, who was watching this, grabbed his sword ‘tightly’.
I wanted to cut off the executioner’s head right away, but it wasn’t a situation where I could do that recklessly.
‘I can’t believe I came all this way and can’t do anything...’
I was full of regret, but what could I do? She could only watch helplessly as the country’s general was executed.
Soon, the blade of the great island was about to move.
Suddenly, the sound of a horn began to sound from somewhere far away.
Puuuuuu-!!
There was no way that she, who had been working in Tianchuk until now, would not know the meaning of this signal.
‘Dunhuang is being attacked? ‘To whom?’
“Yes Captain!!”
When everyone was ready to escape, Soso took the lead and began to clear the way.
Enemies of all kinds were rushing in like waves from all directions, but I couldn’t stop for even a moment.
Sigh-! Squeak-! Damn-!!
“Move!”
As Geomhu moves frantically, Hwang So-cheon follows closely behind and catches his breath.
Behind the two, the rest lined up and ran as hard as they could.
But the situation hardly improved.
The number of enemies was gradually increasing, and the escaped prisoners were quickly exhausted from the effects of torture.
The more I did, the deeper my worries became.
‘Can we outrun the enemy’s pursuit?’
It is not easy to shake off a pursuing team in the open desert.
In addition, most of them had difficulty moving smoothly due to injuries and were very tired.
But now there was no other choice.
She pursed her lips and took the lead toward the castle gate without hesitation.
Phew! Sigh-! Wow-!!
Anyone who got in her way would fall like a leaf in a cold wind.
The reason it was able to do so well was because outstanding experts flocked to other areas.
Geomhu, who had already reached the very front of the castle gate, took a deep breath and gathered all the energy of the Ten Stars into his left hand.
Wooooow-!!
Soon her left hand, engulfed in blue light, struck the gate.
Kwaaaaaaang-!!
Her strength was so strong that the huge castle gate fell apart at once. To the extent that everyone who followed was surprised.
But it was not the time to be admiring.
“Hurry!!”
Geomhu and about thirty escaped prisoners ran frantically toward the desert that spread out outside the castle gate.
But those chasing them also did not give up.
“Don’t miss it!”
“You must catch them all and kill them all!!”
Soso, who was running ahead, slightly turned his head to look at his pursuers.
They number in the hundreds. No, it was growing into thousands.
It’s only a matter of time before they get caught.
At that time, about 30 prison escapees who followed stopped and shouted with solemn expressions.
“Go first, Captain!”
“We will buy time.”
Everyone volunteered to die for Hwang So-cheon.
However, he also seemed to not really want the current situation.
“What would be the point if I ran away and lived alone? “Let us die together with honor.”
When the situation reached this point, Su Xiao’s heart became frustrated.
Are you going to run away alone? As her worries deepened, her eyes suddenly opened wide.
Because something was approaching quickly above the heads of the pursuers.
After a while, the two shadows became clear enough to make out who they were.
‘no way?’
Then, Hwang So-cheon, who discovered them, muttered with surprised eyes.
“Um, yin-yang twin monsters? Why are they here...”
At that moment, the lion’s hooves of speculation struck the ears of the hesitating prison escapees.
“Don’t stop and keep running!!”
As soon as the echo of the yin was over, the yang was struck like a thunderbolt into the middle of the enemy camp.
Heavenly Demon Explosive Fist, Eight Herbivorous Demon God Jinheun!
It was a technique that created a strong shock wave by hitting the ground with a fist.
Kwaaaaaaang-!!!
A powerful wave of energy spread like a wave due to the power of the Demon God Scar.
At the same time, a sandstorm appeared in a radius of ten miles and engulfed everyone.
“Tsk!”
“Ugh!”
Many people lost their balance and fell or bounced into the air.
To punish them, the gold bar began to spin and rush.
Damn it! Blah blah blah-!!
The yin-yang twin monster that suddenly appeared was showing off its invincible divine power.
It was unclear how they were here, but it was clear that their intention was to buy time.
The only chance to escape was now.
Geomhu Soso did not miss this moment and sent a signal to everyone.
