Chapter 39
Episode 39: The only path to Paedomun is straight (1)
Yong Cheon-il, the leader of the Sahyeolmun Jissaldae (地殺隊).
As the tip of his sword pointed toward the sky, red waves wriggled and formed a line.
The fifty swordsmen pulled their swords and waited for Yong Cheon-il’s order to attack.
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
In front of them, Baek-gyu’s wife, Maeng Ryeon-hwa, stood with twelve warriors, looking solemn.
More than four times the number of people. Despite the overwhelming power difference, their eyes did not waver.
Maeng Lian-hwa’s scimitar pointed to Yong Cheon-il’s neck.
“refuse.”
There was no need to listen to the end. Because it was so obvious.
She chose death rather than become a hostage and a burden to Baek-gyu.
“I’m sorry. Then we have no choice but to kill them all.”
The reason why Yong Cheon-il persistently persuaded him was because Baek-gyu was such a scary person. I couldn’t help but think about his fate.
However, since persuasion had failed, there was no time to hesitate any longer.
It was the moment when he was about to give the final attack order.
“Nobu will give you one chance too.”
The old man’s voice echoed from behind.
Although it was a small sound, it contained a magnificent flow of energy. It was an impossible level unless you possessed profound internal power.
Everyone turned their heads with puzzled expressions.
“…?”
The rear of Jisaldae. A white-haired old man was approaching step by step, clutching a short spear.
It had a mysterious appearance, like a warrior from the martial arts world. Unless it’s a girl with a cute face on her back.
The child, smiling brightly, grabbed a long stick that looked like a fishing rod and twirled it around.
“Are you guys doing something bad?”
The swordsmen of the Jissaldae looked at the situation in bewilderment.
The child didn’t even care, but the white-haired old man was a different story.
Even at first glance, the old man’s energetic eyes and subtle prayer emanated from him, it was clear that he was an expert at the peak of his powers.
Yong Cheon-il asked with a puzzled look.
“Who is it? “Reveal your identity.”
I have never heard of any information that there is such a peak expert in Paedomun.
It wasn’t to the point where he couldn’t take on the opponent, but there was no reason to escalate the fight to an unnecessary one.
But his expectations were shattered.
“What is it? “I’m a foodie who makes a living here.”
“You’re a foodie… so there’s no need to die here together, right?”
“Even a trader knows how to be gracious, and it is a human duty to pay for food. And who dies, you bastard!”
Yongcheonil’s eyebrows twitched at the sudden shout.
“I don’t know where your confidence comes from.”
The air was frozen with a suffocating sense of death swirling around.
That moment of imminent action. The sound of Maeng Lian-hwa was heard in Yu Jin-san’s ears.
– We can’t handle this on our own anyway. We’ll take our time, so Grandpa, please get out first. There will be him at Dongcheon Market.
– But you will be killed here. If that happens, won’t your younger brother be sad?
– There is no need for your grandfather to die here with you. So come on….
There was a sense of urgency in Meng Lian-hwa’s voice.
However, Yu Jin-san was moving closer to Jisaldae step by step.
– Now that I think about it, you look a lot like my first daughter-in-law. It always bothered me that I didn’t take good care of him because I thought he was strong and strong. As it turned out, I was a child with the softest heart.
-…?
– The wound looks deep. There is no need to overdo it, so please rest for a while.
Suddenly, Meng Lianhua’s eyes turned red. Even though it was a stranger, my heart was touched for some reason. It was the first feeling she had ever felt in her life.
And Yu Jin-san, who had already arrived in front of the Jisaldae, asked behind his back.
“baby. “It’s no fun if you just do it, so you might want to try it with your eyes closed.”
“Yes, Seol can do this!”
“Just swing it the way you played with your grandfather a little while ago.”
“yes!”
Yu Seol closed his eyes tightly and raised his stick.
The granddaughter’s ability to sense energy is beyond imagination, so there is no need for sight. The intention was simply to prevent people from seeing the cruel scenes.
“Then let’s play.”
The moment when Jinsan Yu took one more step.
One of the death squad members started running towards me.
“die!”
Even though he came very close, Yujinsan did not avoid it. No, he didn’t even look at me. Even though the blade was coming towards him.
Wow!
Everyone who was watching this had a puzzled expression on their faces.
And after a while. Their pupils widened at the same time as if they were about to burst.
“Things!”
The cry of a refreshing child.
At the same time, the stick that Yooseol was holding moved like lightning. It struck the attacking swordsman on the head like a thunderbolt.
Byak-!
He was struck in the back of the head and couldn’t even scream, as if he had fainted.
As the swordsman fell down, Yujinsan’s spear flew into his front chest as if he had been waiting.
Phew!
The swordsman who attacked a moment ago was a person with strong skills even in the Jissaldae. He was defeated without even being able to withstand it.
Those who were watching had their pupils shaking. He must have been shocked by the unbelievable sight.
At that time, when everyone was panicking, someone attempted a surprise attack from the side of Mt. Yujin.
But this time he didn’t avoid it either. Instead, I headed there as if a fishing rod hanging over my head was catching a fish.
Shouts of rumors coming out at the same time.
“Things!”
The bar curved as if it was about to break and struck the approaching swordsman on the shoulder.
Tsk-!
“Ugh!”
It looked like he had been hit lightly, but the shock felt as if he had been hit with a sledgehammer. He had no choice but to let go of the sword against his will.
And a red-tinged spear blade passed under his staggering chin.
Wow-!
I can’t believe the same situation happened twice.
The swordsmen of the Jissudae were shocked and hesitated at the absurd situation.
Yu Jin-san, who was glaring at them, muttered behind his back.
“You’re doing great, baby. “Never open your eyes.”
“I understand.”
“Then let’s move faster from now on.”
Yujinsan hit the ground and rushed towards the center of the enemies without hesitation.
It certainly looked reckless on the outside, but the enemies who encountered it were confused.
The only thing that was exciting was Yu Seol, who closed his eyes and waved the stick.
“Ttajjji! “Smack!”
Knock-! Kwasik-! Byak-!
The stick being swung as if catching a mole was so fast that it was difficult to follow it even with the eyes.
The cry coming from the child’s mouth could not keep up with the speed of the attack.
Every time a sound was heard, three or four people fell down.
“Ugh!”
“What what…. Ugh!”
“Kaaak!”
It was an instinctive attack that was not tied to herbivory. So it didn’t have the ability to kill, but the problem was that it was so fast that it couldn’t be avoided.
The enemies, who lost their stance after being hit by sticks, were pierced one by one by Yujinsan’s spear.
At this point, Jisaldae began to visibly panic.
Even Yong Cheon-il, the great master, seemed to be frozen and his mouth was wide open.
“My lord, please help me quickly!”
He was so confused by the current situation that he couldn’t come to his senses.
I can’t believe I lost 30% of my crew in the blink of an eye.
He was so lost that he was muttering to himself like he was out of his mind.
“Hwa-kyung…. It’s Hwa-kyung….”
“Who is it?”
“That kid.”
The subordinate’s eyes looking at him seemed to be asking what kind of bullshit he was talking about.
“This is not the time! “Hurry up and give orders!”
He barely came to his senses and muttered in a weak voice.
“Carry out a lethal inspection.”
“yes.”
With the sound of a whistle, the warriors of the Jissaldae began to flock to one place.
Jin-san Yu, who had been running around like crazy, was also very tired, so he had no choice but to widen the distance.
He stepped back for a moment and stood shoulder to shoulder with the warriors of Meng Lianhwa and Paedomun.
“I’m sorry. “I shouted loudly, but I couldn’t even get half of it down.”
Meng Lianhua, whose eyes were startled, urgently shook her head.
“No, grandfather. I never imagined that I could defeat that much on my own. “I can’t believe it when I see it.”
“How could I have done this on my own? “Anyway, things have become difficult.”
There were still more than twice as many swordsmen in red clothing surrounding them. Their momentum during the examination was different from before.
“With this amount of power difference, it’s worth holding on. “He will come in a little while.”
After speaking, she pounded the floor with the handle of her scimitar, and the warriors under her command crowded together to form a defensive line.
“Don’t push yourself too hard. “Nobu will be standing in front.”
“…yes.”
Perhaps because of the blood loss, Meng Lianhua’s complexion was even paler than before. Additionally, the wound on his abdomen looked serious.
At a glance, it seemed that her life could not be guaranteed if the fight continued in this state.
Jinsan Yu spoke to the other person in order to buy some time.
“What are you going to do? “If we attack like this, you won’t be safe either.”
Yongcheonil, the master of bloodletting and bloodletting, was also hesitating.
The warriors under his command were ready to attack and were waiting for the final command, but it was not easy to make a decision.
The situation was completely different from before the old man appeared.
“It’s a ploy to waste time.”
Jinsan Yu did not deny it. I nodded once and grabbed the spear.
“That’s right. My brother will arrive in a little while. “Can you handle it?”
“Will I be able to hold out until then?”
“If you don’t believe me, try it.”
After thinking for a moment, Yong Cheon-il seemed to have made up his mind and stared at the child on his back.
“Even if we all die today, I will at least get rid of that child.”
“this guy!”
Even though he could tolerate everything else, Jinsan Yu could not tolerate threats to his granddaughter.
Sensing that it was inevitable, he pulled out his Hwaryongshin spear and prepared to head out.
It was just before the battle broke out.
At that moment, everyone could hear the child’s cooing.
“Boodle hair….”
“Huh?”
“What a cattail hair.”
The child’s index finger stuck out from Yu Jin-san’s shoulder and pointed somewhere.
The direction where the main gate of Paedomun is located. The subtle murderous energy felt there stimulated Yongcheonil’s five senses.
An inexplicable feeling of anxiety invaded his mind.
‘no way…?’
Yong Cheon-il looked back and his heart sank.
Baekgyu, holding a twin sword in both hands, was trudging forward with his arms outstretched.
His shirtless torso had countless muscles writhing like earthworms.
And from the shiny forehead to the bulging tendons. It looked like it couldn’t be any more vicious.
“Baekgyu….”
Baekgyu’s teeth chattered. He looked very angry.
And bald warriors who looked like him were constantly appearing and following him.
“who is this. The bastard who stuck a knife in my wife’s stomach. Slowly… very slowly… “I will chew them all up.”
“….”
Jisaldae, whose morale was broken by his creepy appearance, was very agitated.
They were busy rolling their eyes and looking for a way out.
“I asked who did that!”
Who would dare answer his question?
The sight of Baek-gyu approaching with great strides was like that of the Grim Reaper.
The warriors of the Jisaldae kept their mouths shut and gulped dry saliva with solemn faces.
At that time when there was still silence.
Suddenly, Yoo Seol, who was riding on the grandfather’s back, still closed his eyes and stretched out his finger, pointing at someone.
“This guy is like that.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the child’s index finger.
And Yong Cheon-il, who realized that he had been singled out, was shocked.
“My me when?”
Yong Cheon-il looked aggrieved, but he was not given a chance to make excuses.
Kuuk-!
It was the sound of Baekgyu grasping his twin swords tightly.
“Consider yourself relieved from now on.”
After finishing speaking, he shot out single-handedly toward the death squad.
