In the bloody battle that day over the vast snowy field, no further abnormalities occurred.
The army of Amcheon, which had boasted its overwhelming might just a few o’clock ago, was like a candle in the wind, and the allied forces led by transcendental masters and a series of reinforcements were like a huge storm.
A storm of murderous intent and steel that moves forward, tearing everything apart.
Quad deuk!
Puff poop! Suddenly!
Fountains of blood bursting out from all directions.
There was not the slightest hesitation in the hands of the Allied Forces, who were wearing a thick blood mist like a cloak and charging at the enemy in front of them, stabbing and cutting them at random.
An eye for an eye.
This includes:
And repaying death with death was the law of martial arts and the essence of war in this world.
“Heaven, heaven, earth… … .”
Flutter!
A spear blade fired by a soldier pierces his arm, and an arrow and a sword flying from somewhere cut into his face and chest.
Even before they could finish their eight-character sermon, the Allied forces narrowed down the perimeter of this huge slaughterhouse, trampling on the bodies of their enemies as they fell, spattering blood.
Fast and furious.
The words of conciliation or capture were luxury against the followers of Amcheon who had lost their sense of reason, and the enormous sacrifice that the Allied Forces had to make here today made us forget about mercy.
This is especially true for the group that joined last, but was at the forefront of sweeping the enemy lines.
Shhh!
Blood-soaked coat of arms is flying.
As if they were ignoring their lives, their movements were as careless as the wind as they penetrated into the center of the enemy’s camp, and the sword light that shot up from the sword of the old man at the head of the group was so dazzling that it was cruel.
Quaaaang!
A huge explosion shakes the earth.
Flesh and blood that had lost their original form splattered everywhere.
There was nothing left where the strong energy passed by.
If anything, there’s only blood and death.
In addition, there was only the huge roar of the Allied Forces that had completely crushed the enemy’s disheveled battle lines.
“Waaaa!”
“charge! Charge!”
“Don’t leave a single one alive!”
At this moment, the Allied forces were like one wave, each with a different color.
Even in the midst of a fierce battle, Geumuiwi keeps his cool and charges in unison with Oh.
The government forces of Gansu and the martial arts people followed behind them, squeezing out their last strength.
And unlike the first time, Jongnam’s disciples were significantly reduced in number, and even unidentified horsemen who suddenly appeared at some point and joined the allied forces.
Doo doo doo doo!
The earth shakes as if an earthquake has occurred.
Deafening shouts rang out endlessly, and the steel forest that filled the entire area covered the invaders, blooming countless flowers and branches.
Red flowers and pure white branches made of blood and bones.
That was the end of this long and brutal battle.
As more than half a day passed, none of the Dark Heaven’s followers, encompassing 30,000 people, stood on the battlefield of their own will.
Not a single person.

In modern military terminology, annihilation means loss of combat capability.
Troops, equipment, supplies, morale, etc.
Normally, in a situation where more than 30% of the combatants are dead or injured, if the will of the surviving combat troops is shaken, it is judged that the battle cannot continue, and it is immediately considered annihilated.
But here in Moorim, the scene unfolding before Jin Tae-kyung’s eyes at this moment was different.
Total annihilation.
It is exactly the meaning contained in the word.
No, perhaps even two words, annihilation, cannot express everything.
Slaughter, massacre.
or.
‘… … Slaughter.’
The words that I couldn’t say out loud linger on the tip of my tongue. Jin Tae-kyung looked around her with deeply sunken eyes.
Red. Everything in sight is dyed red.
The pure white snow field, and the faces of corpses with their eyes wide open, submerged in pools of blood.
And the bloodshot eyes that were searching through the mountain of blood and corpses that had become a river, looking for enemies who had miraculously survived.
Phew!
The blade fell roughly and dug into the chest of the enemy squirming among the numerous corpses.
Miracles did not happen twice, and surviving once was no different from misfortune.
If he had stopped breathing earlier, he would have died a much faster and more peaceful death.
Quad deuk.
The blade buried deep inside the body slowly twists.
The faces of the Hwaryongak members next to Jin Tae-gyeong stiffened at the terrible sound of flesh and bone being crushed, and at the murderous intent that was felt even more clearly.
“Captain.”
“Anyway, this… … .”
Jin Tae-kyung raised his hand to block the conversation that was about to continue.
know. What are they trying to say?
This is not murder. It is a slaughter similar to that of livestock.
But at the same time, I could fully understand the feelings of those who inflicted such a cruel end on an enemy who did not even have the strength to resist.

“Wait here.”
Jin Tae-gyeong, who threw those words to the Hwaryongak members, slowly walked away.
One step. Every time I took another step, I felt unbearable fatigue, but someone’s hand suddenly reached out from somewhere and supported the staggering Shinhyeong.
“I think they clearly told me to wait.”
Sima Pyo shrugged his shoulders at Jin Tae-gyeong’s thoughts that flowed out as if he was talking to himself.
“Well, I haven’t heard anything like that.”
“You heard it just now, so step back.”
“You can’t do that.”
“It’s an order.”
“It’s an order, so does that mean it will come out that way in the end?”
“okay.”
Jin Tae-gyeong’s voice was more resolute than ever, and the same was true of Sima-pyo’s answer that followed.
“Okay, then I will be leaving Hwaryongak at this time.”
“… … !”
Sima Pyo smiled vaguely at Jin Tae-gyeong, whose eyes widened for an instant.
“Why, isn’t this unexpected?”
“… … you.”
“It’s been fun, footnote. But this is where we end up together.”
Sima Piao added, looking at Jin Tae-gyeong with a calm gaze.
“I can’t put any more pressure on you or anyone else. “No matter what outcome awaits, it will be something I must endure alone.”
He knew.
Why is Jin Tae-kyung, who has been at his limit for a long time, still holding onto the strings of consciousness?
And how great a danger lurks at the end of this path that you must walk alone from now on.
Nevertheless, the reason he was able to look as calm as he did now was because he had already made up his mind.
“No matter what happens, don’t step forward. And if by any chance I have a problem… … .”
It was at that very moment that Sima Piao’s gaze suddenly turned towards Taishan, with the tail of his speech blurring.
Jin Tae-kyung, who was watching him silently, blurted out a word.
“Nope?”
“what?”
“I don’t like it, bastard. You take care of your people. “Don’t think about hitting on someone who is already going through a hard time.”
Sima Pyo, who was speechless for a moment, soon realized the meaning of Jin Tae-gyeong’s words and burst into laughter.
“That is correct. I have to take full responsibility for that guy. certainly.”
If only I could do that, if only I could survive like you said.
Silently swallowing the words he couldn’t say in the end, Sima Pyo walked away alone.
And Jin Tae-gyeong, who was silently looking at Sima Pyo’s back, suddenly opened his mouth.
“I suddenly became curious… … “Do you remember the day we left Taewonjinga?”
It was natural.
Because it was a recent incident, not a few years or months, but only about a month or so ago.
Also, I was able to guess well.
Why did Jin Tae-kyung bring up this story?
“of course. “Just before leaving for the west, Old Man Nam and Taesan came looking for me in person.”
That night, Sima Piao was reading a secret letter sent from Gansu.
Even though I’ve already seen it again and again, over and over again.
Until the two people approached the door.
“Usually he was punctual, but that day he was procrastinating. Just like a person waiting for someone to come.”
Hearing Jin Tae-gyeong’s voice as if he was talking to himself, Sima-pyo suddenly stopped walking.
“Well, I had a lot to think about that day.”
“Old Man Nam is old, but he’s a great agent. “He also has a keen sense of smell for his age.”
“Yes, on the other hand, my ears are dark and my voice is loud.”
A combination of a tall man who makes the ground shake just by walking and an old man who talks a lot and has a good voice.
It is bound to be seen and heard everywhere.
And the same was true for Sima Piao, who was alone in his residence that night, reading a secret letter.
“Is that what you intended? “From the beginning.”
“no. at all.”
It was a lie. Bright red.
Sima Piao was waiting there.
The oldest friend who will come looking for you before anyone else.
No, the old agent of Eunyeonggak who sticks with Taesan like a close friend.
At the same time, I was secretly hoping.
I hope that Namho will be able to understand the secret that he cannot tell with his own mouth.
Please be on guard because of this.
“Why, why so much?”
At Jin Tae-gyeong’s soft question coming from behind him, Sima-pyo took a step forward after stopping for a moment.
“still… … “Because he is my father.”
No matter what, I wanted to believe until the end.
However, when this trust was betrayed, he did not want to put those around him in danger.
So, I intentionally left a clue as a warning.
So that they can naturally become suspicious before the son reports on his father’s suspicious movements.
Even if Sima Piao himself became the target of suspicion, it didn’t matter as long as everyone’s safety was safe.
Because I was used to being suspected and hated.
Because that’s what it meant to live as a blood relative of Sima Gong, the King of the Black Night, and a minor lord of the Black Dragon Demon Gate.
But it was truly strange.
Even after Namho’s gaze on him became sharper and deeper, Jin Tae-kyung did not even utter a single word.
Even to this very moment.
“Then why didn’t you ask me anything until the end?”
The very next moment I uttered the question that had been lingering in my mind.
At the short answer that rang out from behind him without a moment of hesitation, a corner of Sima Piao’s heart throbbed.
“But still, we’re friends.”
“… … !”
“Sibeol, I don’t know. Obviously, if you look at his appearance, he is a dull and black guy… … I wanted to keep believing. “I wanted to do that even though the situation was becoming more and more shit.”
Sima Piao couldn’t say anything.
I just gritted my teeth to suppress the hot tears in my eyes and took shaky steps again.
Listening to Jin Tae-kyung’s last voice, which had become far away before I knew it.
“Don’t die. “This is an order.”
Sima Biao did not respond to the softer command than ever.
And even at this very moment, he continued to walk towards the group of people who were wandering around the miserable battlefield and slaughtering the surviving enemies.
No, more precisely, towards the old man standing in the center of them all.
Slosh.
Finally, a puddle of blood splattered with tall footsteps.
Sima Piao took a deep breath. The stench and bloody smell that made him feel nauseous seeped deep into his nostrils, but his mind was calm and calm.
Like the expression of an old man looking at his enemy’s child who has stopped in front of him with eyes so deep that their thoughts cannot be read.
“I meet Sima Pyo, the late Wulin scholar, and Jang Mun-in of the Great Gong Sect.”
That moment.
Wow.
A terrifyingly large deadly force rose from all directions and crushed Sima Biao’s entire body.
