Episode 61
oh oh
The captain felt the quiver in the air.
At the same time, he realized what kind of destructive power the spear blades fired at his chest had.
‘This… … Dangerous.’
A threat to life that I have never felt before in my life. The hairs all over the body stand on end, and the world slows down.
Shih!
Jin Tae-gyeong’s spear flies in front, and Jin Wi-gyeong’s sword flies from behind. The training of the two brothers matched exquisitely.
A truly desperate moment.
Shaaa.
The day when he was crouching in the danjeon of the elder, his gong power suddenly spread to the whole body. It revitalized his senile muscles and awakened his veins. The change did not stop there.
The sword energy that had risen nearly a foot (30 cm) was compressed in half.
However, it was not a decrease in power, but a condensation of power. The sword that had been fluttering like a thread wrapped around the entire sword body and took the form of another sword.
Sword steel.
A symbol of superhumans who have crossed the wall of the pinnacle and pioneered a great realm.
It was still only an incomplete half, but it was definitely sword steel, and it was the crystallization of martial arts that the elder had learned all his life.
squeak.
Taewon Jinga Even the family’s treasured sword, passed down from generation to generation, was cut with a sword wrapped around it. In an instant, Jin Wei Jing’s face turned pale as his energy was dissipated and his insides were shaken.
A situation where a sword could take his throat.
But the elder did not have the time for that.
Wedge!
The captain stretched out his hand to the spear that had reached his chest. His wrinkled hands were also enveloped in a cluster of dazzling energy.
This, too, was an imperfect hand-to-hand, but it was enough to stop Jin Tae-kyung’s spear.
No, it seemed good enough.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Until the vortex that flowed from the tip of the spear swallowed him up.
A death-like stillness descended. Dozens of people here, maybe everyone on the battlefield seemed to be watching us.
no, not us There is only one person.
“this… … At the end of countless gazes, the elder slowly opened his mouth.
“What kind of herbivore is it?”
I answered.
“One island.”
Just talking about it makes me feel extremely hungry. The muscles all over her body were tingling, and she didn’t have a handful of energy left in her body.
But that’s about it. I didn’t faint like I did when I was Jo Pil, nor did I sit down unseemly.
‘Now my body can handle it.’
I have grown enough to bear the side effects of Ilseom, and the power of Ilseom has grown as much as I have grown.
The appearance of the chieftain now is proof of that.
“One island, one island.”
He murmured softly and pointed at the blood vessels on his shoulders.
The flowing blood stopped, but that’s all, the arm that had been torn off without a trace by the vortex spewed out by Ilseom never came back.
“I never thought I would be a one-armed person at this age. haha.”
The elder who laughed dejectedly read the True Wigyeong? I turned my head.
“You have a scary brother.”
Qin Wei-gyeong asked with a pale face.
“Are you afraid of that child?”
“How are you?”
“I am proud of you.”
A reply without the slightest hesitation. A smile crept over his pale complexion.
“I raised gold and jade, but I grew up with steel. Taekyung is such a child.”
The captain stared blankly at that smile.
“You are a pretty good person. He deserves to be responsible for the future of Taewonjinga.”
“exactly?”
“But not as much as your brothers.”
It’s Jin Moo-kyung who has reached the climax in terms of terms. Aside from that, it’s embarrassing to even rate me so high… … .
‘What the hell are you trying to say?’
As if reading my thoughts, the elder continued.
“Not even with bloodlines. that’s power Will your younger brothers be proud of you even when that time comes?”
In an instant, the intestines cooled down.
All of those who are facing the elder at close range now belong to Taewon Jinga. Cautious glances cling to my cheeks and then quietly disappear.
‘house owner? I have no intention of doing anything like that.
These guys ‘此’ was then. What Qin Wei-kyung opened his mouth.
“I guess so.”
It was a voice brimming with chaos and relief. The elder’s eyebrows twitch.
“What do you mean?”
“The reason you betrayed me. Why did something like this happen today?”
“… … “
The elder’s trembling eyes replaced the answer. I sighed inwardly.
‘I guess that was it after all.’

successor fight.
It feels like the pieces of a big puzzle have been put together. The small pieces that had not yet found their place were being put together one by one through their conversation.
“What happened?”
Qin Yuqing asked in a polite tone.
It was such a natural change that no one in the room would notice.
“Do you know about your grandfather?”
“I haven’t heard anything. Even my father didn’t say a word.”
“He was a harsh person. He is both his son and his only brother. and… … “The chieftain laughed.
“It was a small boat. For various reasons, we who were once good brothers gradually drifted apart. In the meantime, that happened.”
“The Great War.”
“Do you know the expression of 100,000 demons? they came endlessly The Murim Maeng was formed, but it was just an alliance of the Gupabang, and I was busy defending my base.”
It was at that time that the Grand Elder began to make a name for himself in earnest.
He rallied the warriors of Shanxi Province under the flag of Taiyuan Jinga, and finally drove out the forces of the Demonic Cult.
“Right here, at the Eight Heavenly Gorge, there was the last battle.”
His gaze seemed to be groping somewhere in the distant past.
“It was a long war. Many died, and all were exhausted. But there was also hope. The hope that now you can return to the arms of your family. The 300 members of the death squad were of the same mind.”
“In the end, you won a great victory.”
The battle between three hundred and three thousand resulted in the annihilation of the Demonic Cult.
It was a great victory, and it was also the reason why the elder is still remembered. Everyone believed it and had no doubts.
At least until recently.
“There was an ambush.”
what?
“We retreated to the depths of the gorge and fought, but it was a heavy blow. Even as he wielded his sword like mad, one question did not leave him.”
The elder’s voice that followed was horrifyingly calm.
“How could they have ambushed them beforehand? Brother must be blocking the road to Palcheonhyeop.”
….
A silent astonishment spread through the people. The blood on Jin Wi-gyeong’s already pale face completely disappeared.
“The battle lasted half a day.
We fought, waiting for reinforcements that never came, but in vain. Out of the 300 death squads, there are only eight survivors. When I finally returned to my family, I will never forget the look on my brother’s face as he looked at me.”
“that is… … Is it true?”
“It is a time when the rivers and mountains have changed several times. Did you think you would have come this far out of simple doubt?”
Decades are an overflowing time to turn doubt into certainty.
The chieftain laughed dejectedly.
“My older brother turned the war into an opportunity.
I became a hero on the battlefield, but he became a housekeeper. All those who followed me were either dead or missing on the battlefield.”
“Then why did you go straight to the Presbyterian House?”
“That’ll put me at ease. That way, I and my people’s lives could have been saved.”
my people?
I remembered what he said earlier.
The last eight survivors along the Great Road. It wasn’t too difficult to infer their identities.
‘The elders and the masters of the Five Gates of Shanxi.’
Those who survived vowed revenge. It was revenge for the family head and family who betrayed them. The captain slowly swept the crowd.
“It was a long wait indeed.”
People fell into silence. disbelief shock, shame. Emotions were different, but no one could talk easily.
Oh, except me, of course.
“He makes a lot of noise.”
“… … I can’t stand the laughter that leaks out.
I’ve been listening to what they’re talking about, but what is this?
“In the end, there is only one purpose.”
I nodded my thumb towards the elder.
“You sleep with revenge, you’re trying to be this, aren’t you?”
”what?”
“Right. Taewon Jinga and Hangsan Inspection.
To get rid of everything that gets in the way and go to Sanseo.”
“this guy-!”
Did the old man boil the train firebox? Oh, there are no trains here.
“plural? It’s good. everything is good… … I cleared my ears and continued.
“Why are you taking that revenge now?”
That was almost 40 years ago. Considering the age of the elder, he had waited half his life.
“How many of the people who stabbed you in the back are still alive? You should hit the back drum as well. Oh, please, please, don’t talk bullshit about a gentleman’s revenge taking ten years.”
If you are a gentleman who endured for 10 years, is Jesus the general who endured for 40 years?
It’s just the self-justification of a crazy old man.
“You’re carelessly saying that it’s a pierced mouth.”
“I did it carelessly. What do you want?”
“You think you know everything?”
“Do I really need to know? After all this has happened?”
Stupid at the obvious question, he smiled and pointed to the battlefield. Sisanhaehaehae, Abigyuhwan. The literal sight was right in front of my eyes.
“that.”
The cool captain’s eyes wavered. But she was only fleeting.
“Right. What more do I need to say.”
He muttered as if to help himself, and raised his sword.
“As the chief.”
Qin Wei-gyeong pursed her lips, but it was only there.
A fight that ends when one side dies.
I’ve come too far to turn back.
“Come.”
I wasn’t the one to give up.
“Hit!”
Now it’s time to hunt the wounded beast.
I remember the first time I saw the Elder.
A dignified appearance and majesty enough to be colorless for his age. The white-haired beard reminded him of immortals.
Fuhuaak!
Of course, there is no Shinseng who ruthlessly cuts people in half.
‘It’s said that even if it rots, it’s a juniper.’
Covered in blood, he swings his sword ceaselessly. A look of awe and fear poured into him.
“monster… … “He lost an arm, but the captain was still strong. But obviously not as strong as before.
“It’s worth a try.”
No matter how great the master is, the warriors here are also the elite of Taewon’s true family. Those skilled enough to follow Jin Wi-gyeong on the battlefield and survive the battle with the great leader.
Tadadang!
The elder’s complexion was dark as he deflected the sword blades from all directions. If it was the same as before, he would have cut everything in his way with his sword.
It is proof that the energy that was like an inexhaustible spring has been exhausted.
In addition, the aged body reached its limit.
Chow.
Sword scars gradually began to appear on the elder’s body. Unlike before, most of it was his blood.
‘now!’
I’m not the one to miss that gap. The spear with all its might ripped out a handful of flesh from his side.
“Suck!”
Even in the midst of feeling the pain, the elder who had cut down a warrior rushed towards me. As if he had made up his mind properly, the sword he swung had a weak sword energy.
but… … .
squeak.
The sword energy was scattered along with the surging blood. Jin Wi-gyeong appeared behind his staggering back.
“I forgot you.”
The elder turned around with a distorted face.
“Did you learn to stick a knife in your back from your older brother?”
“I wonder if an ambush is going to be a big deal when the family members are dying.”
“Aren’t you ashamed of being a soldier?”
“Before being uninhabited, I am Sogaju.”
“Sogajura, hee hee.”
Qin Wei-gyeong looked at Captain Lo with a confused expression.
“The trend has already turned.”
“so? Are you going to invite surrender?”
“Please stop this meaningless fight.”
The flow of the battlefield has already turned this way for a long time. However, the black people resisted tenaciously, and the screams and corpses still did not diminish.
“You are right. It may be a meaningless fight. but… … : The elder, staggering, straightened his back. Before I knew it, the essence flashed in my eyes, and momentum like a blade began to rise.
“We have come too far to stop.”
last foot %
No, not quite like that. I suddenly remembered a person.
Jo Pil. The last look he showed right before he died overlapped with the current elder.
‘Seoncheonji. I raised the ancestral keeper.’
If gongpower is an acquired aura accumulated through fortune-telling and elixirs, the congenital keeper is the opposite. It is safe to say that it is the life force itself, the source of the human body.
The captain is now using the Seoncheonjigi with his life as collateral.
“Cool.”
The elder, who vomited blood, raised his sword. Contrary to the rapidly dying life, his sword was shining more brilliantly than ever. The moment I saw that overwhelming sight, one word came out of my mouth unconsciously.
“Black river… … It was instinct. My heart flutters just by looking at it. I felt a terrifying aura that surpassed the sword skill.
and.
“Yes, you were there.”
Red eyes with blood vessels bursting out stare at me.
Jinwijing hurriedly rushed to block the elder.
“no!”
However, the chieftain was no longer there. Compressing the distance of five sheets in one step, he lowered his sword towards me.
Whoops.
This is how you die.’
An attack that cannot be avoided or blocked.
I’m dead. will die
but… … .
‘I can’t die like this.’
He squeezed every muscle in his body. A handful of air power rushed toward the spear blade.
It was my last outburst, and it was a courtesy to my life, which I had lived fiercely up until now.
“One island.”
Wedge love!
A blow with the last force was fired.
