Episode 518
Death is fair to everyone (2)
Dududu!
All of the more than 100 horsemen rode across the plain at breakneck speed.
Even though the plains were plains, these horsemen were able to run amazingly even on rough forest roads. This was because they were thoroughly trained to use man-horse tactics in sandy fields as well as mountainous terrain.
‘thank god.’
Guizhou Province was generally a mountainous region. If you are an expert with confidence in divine law, it may be better to dismount from a horse and run directly.
The horsemen of the Iron Knights were different.
Although he was large, he was incredibly flexible, and although he weighed a lot, his endurance was better than that of the horsemen of the Uijeonggun.
This is because Yangcheon properly pushed the Yongah Iron Foundation. Cheolgidan was raised by feeding elixirs to horses, which were not enough to feed to humans. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the horsemen of the Iron Knights were truly a weapon capable of fighting against the martial arts people.
Faaagh!
After climbing several mountains, the group took a short break.
“Here.”
Hwang Seok-tae said while looking around.
“Do you see the black building over there?”
Yeon Ho-jeong increased his internal energy and concentrated his eyesight.
There was a small building far away in the forest. It was so large that it was embarrassing to call it a building, and it was so well integrated into the forest that even a decent martial artist would pass by it.
“okay.”
“That place is the information base of one of the few Mulongbu groups with roots in Guizhou. “Informants there will tell you about the situation here.”
“good.”
Hwang Seok-tae gave an order to the lords of the area.
“You probably already know we’re here. Go and get all the information about Baekbyeongshingun Makwon.”
“I follow your orders.”
Wow!
The leader and several members got off their horses and quickly rode down the mountain.
Paeyul got off his horse.
“We should get some rest.”
“That’s right.”
Two people got off their horses and sat down on a flat rock.
Hwang Seok-tae frowned.
“We may have to move now. “You’d better not relax.”
“It’s good to rest when you can.”
“Then you regret it when you get stabbed in the back.”
“Do not view stress and physical recovery differently. My senses are sensitive and my body is loose. “The Iron Guard is a combat unit, so discipline and military discipline are important, but we don’t know what kind of battle will take place in the future.”
Hwang Seok-tae, who was quietly watching Yeonhojeong, spoke to the members.
“Everyone take a break.”
“yes!”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
I don’t know anything else, but that part of Hwang Seok-tae is really good. Although he is a person with strong pride, he lives with his ears and mind open.
Hwang Seok-tae approached Yeon Ho-jeong.
“What do you think?”
“What do you mean?”
“The air here.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Paeyul.
“What do you think, senior?”
“What do you think?”
Paeyul, who had pulled out his short spear and was polishing its blade, spoke as if throwing it away.
“It’s incredibly dirty.”
“It’s dirty….”
“A hideous, deadly threat is flowing through the air. The air is good, but it seems like gold dust is mixed in it.”
Paeyul spat.
“It tastes unclean. “Should I say it’s messy?”
“I agree.”
Hwang Seok-tae looked at the defeat rate with eyes of surprise.
I often heard Yeon Ho-jeong refer to Paeyul as his senior. He also knew that Paeyul was an elder of the Jeomchang faction and that his inaction was not inferior to his own.
However, it was also true that Yeon Ho-jeong’s presence was so strong that it was difficult to notice. In fact, even if his defeat rate was just that, he was capable of becoming a master of a considerable sect.
Hwang Seok-tae asked while looking at Paeyul’s javelin.
“I heard that Jeomchang is famous for his four-day sword.”
Paeyul frowned.
“Don’t be offended.”
Hwang Seok-tae tilted his head.
“Isn’t it? “I understand that fortune-telling is Sa-il and Sa-il-geom has a reputation as the best swordsman of the political faction, right?”
“There is no such sword now.”
“You don’t have a sword like that?”
Hwang Seok-tae raised his true energy without anyone knowing and made his senses more sensitive.
Wooooow.
Only now can we truly see the power of the loss rate.
A perfectly refined power. The powerful internal power was fully utilized without a single waste.

Even if you have overcome the barrier of martial arts, the level and pros and cons are different. However, in Hwang Seok-tae’s opinion, Paeyul’s prayer was truly flawless.
‘There’s a sword and a spear…’
In addition, Jeomchang’s sword is a sharp sword that focuses on thrusting, so it is said that the sword body is narrow, the blade is blunt, and the tip is extremely sharp.
‘That’s not it either.’
Paeyul’s sword was only slightly longer than a small sword. Moreover, the sword width was wide. No matter how short the blade was, it didn’t seem like a sword like that would be able to fire a quick, stabbing attack.
‘He is an elder of Jeomchang who uses a strange sword and a javelin as his main weapons…’
Hwang Seok-tae looked at Yeon Ho-jeong this time.
‘They really go together among themselves.’
An elder of the Jeomchang faction, famous for his swords, is holding an unsuitable weapon.
Yeon Ho-jeong added.
Byeoksan Yeonga was a sword family that continued the sword tradition of the Jungwon orthodoxy. The eldest son, Yeon Ho-jeong, uses a massive ax as his main weapon, and now carries a spear and even wears a strange iron chain.
If you think about it, it’s a really strange combination. Of this guy’s group, isn’t Kang Ryang the most normal?
Actually, the guy who came into a group headed by an enemy and laughed heartily was also unusual.
“by the way.”
Paeyul asked Yeon Hojeong.
“Did you say you were being chased by government officials?”
“yes.”
Paeyul’s eyes deepened.
It was said that Yeonhojeong was a government official, not a member of the imperial palace. To a martial artist, the imperial palace and the government office sound the same, but Yeonhojeong clearly seemed to separate the two.
And Paeyul knew why Yeonhojeong bothered to distinguish between the two places.
“I heard that even if it rots, the imperial palace is another hall of fortune telling. “I heard that it is full of great masters who are unknown to the world.”
“It’s probably true. “In particular, among the experts who protect the emperor’s bloodline, there must be an absolute expert who will make your mouth drop.”
“But isn’t there an expert like him in the government department? Even if the official’s tactical strategy is excellent, the opponent is the last member of Baek Byeong-shin’s army. “Even if we use artillery, it would be fortunate if we didn’t kill them, let alone capture them.”
In fact, Yeon Ho-jeong also broke the artillery and rushed at the enemy himself to rescue Ki Woo-hee.
Even fire artillery is useless to a supreme expert with martial arts skills that can shatter steel and excellent strategic tactics. If you hit it right, it would be difficult for even a supreme expert to avoid instant death, but they say it’s easy to hit.
Moreover, he is Baekbyeongshingun. Baek Byeong-shin is an absolute master who has entered the realm of martial arts and created his own clan.
You will never be able to catch them unless you trap them in a closed-off area and fire hundreds of artillery pieces at them.
“Of course I will. The problem is that Makwon is currently being chased for some reason.”
“Hmm.”
“If the owner of that level of martial arts doesn’t want to deal with the enemy, he can just run away. But since they clearly said they were being chased, it would be one of two things.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Either the government dispatched a huge force to capture Makwon, or Makwon’s condition is not normal.”
“….”
“Or maybe both.”
Pae-yul, who was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong quietly, laughed.
“You really followed along well.”
“yes?”
“I told you, right? “If I follow you around, fun things will happen.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“It’s a rescue operation. It’s not a battle of annihilation. And isn’t it a bloody matter whether rescue or annihilation? “I’m not having fun.”
“I have fun. “I plan to follow you around from now on.”
“Do whatever you want.”
Yeon Ho-jeong waved his hand with a sour expression and looked around again.
‘surely.’
As Paeyul said, the air is really dirty.
I completely agree with the statement that life is full of frivolous things. The mountain air itself was good, but the atmosphere combined with it was so uncomfortable that it was difficult to breathe properly.
Yeon Ho-jeong was lost in thought.
‘Who exactly is it?’
Whether it was ambushed or not, in any case, Makwon would be strong even if it was not normal.
In the first place, a master who has reached the point of no polarity has no common sense. Even if their limbs were blown off one by one and they suffered serious internal injuries, these are the masters of Seongcheon who would show off such force that it would be burdensome for even the current Yeonhojeong to face them.
Government officials are chasing such experts.
There will definitely be a master who can compete with Makwon, whether it’s Hwapo or something else. If there are too few, it may be difficult to count.
‘Did the imperial palace secretly dispatch a master? Or did the government officials train masters without anyone knowing? However, government officials are ultimately the hands and feet of the imperial palace. In that case, it would be better to think of the two groups, the imperial palace and government officials, as one.’
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned at a sudden thought.
‘Could it be possible that the Three Churches were involved in this matter?’
At first, I felt that thought strongly. But when I came here, I gave up that assumption.
If the three religions intervened, it is highly likely that they were Shinhwa religions. And many of the Shinhwa religion masters who entered the central plains died at the hands of the masters, including Yeon Ho-jeong.
The Shinhwa cult is trying to take control of the imperial palace and is actually achieving some success. In such a situation, it would be difficult for even the strongest of Seongcheon to invest high-level power to attract even one person.
‘Of course, it’s all just an assumption. I still don’t know much about Shinhwaism or the circumstances of the imperial palace.’
A problem interpreted only with fragmentary information.
In other words, it is quite possible that the three schools were involved in this incident.
‘I don’t know yet.’
The reason I didn’t bother to think about the three religions was because I was worried that I would get caught up in my emotions and lose my cool rationality.
But what if the Three Churches really intervened?
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong took a deep breath and smiled.
‘Then we fight.’
Let’s not take it seriously. Regardless of whether it is the Three Religions or something else, their mission is to bring the whole world into a union between right and wrong.
That’s all you have to think about now.
Just that.
Pow!
At that moment, Yeon Ho-jeong looked towards the west.
“hmm? “Why are you doing that?”
Paeyul tilted his head. The same was true for Hwang Seok-tae.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Didn’t you hear something strange just now?”
“Didn’t you hear me?”
“….”
“why? “Did you feel something?”
Paeyul’s face also became more serious.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s senses were more sensitive and better than anyone else’s here. Yeonhojeong can catch sounds that not all of them can catch.
“Something….”
“Tell me.”
“It was an explosion sound. It seems to be similar to the sound of artillery fire, but you can tell it apart easily because of the echo…”
That was then.
Flash!
At that moment, Yeonhojeong felt a faint ray of light rising up. It was a place where sound rang out.
It’s so far away that it’s hard to even see the martial arts people.
Right there.
I witnessed a tail of golden flame rising.
Yeon Ho-jeong suddenly stood up.
“Senior Paeyul! “Let’s move first!”
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes widened.
“what?!”
“You came after contacting the intelligence group! “I’ll go first because work is urgent!”
“Hey!”
Paaaaaa!
In the blink of an eye, Yeon Ho-jeong and Paeyul disappeared.
Hwang Seok-tae felt dispirited.
“He plays drums and janggu all by himself. “What on earth are you doing, b*stard?!”
