Taejonbirok Volume 24, Episode 13
Chapter 130: The Lazy Man, Despair (3)
“This is crazy…….”
The Chiljishin dog's face was distorted.
I can't help but be confused.
It was a few days ago that I received an order to immediately support the upcoming clash between the Baigeomseong and Jeongmu Alliance in Anhui.
It was just a little while ago that we gathered all our strength and arrived at Hapbi.
As soon as I heard that the battle had already begun, I ran and ran until my feet were sweating, but the sight that unfolded before my eyes made all my efforts in vain.
'How did it end up like that?'
The formation seen from afar was truly shocking. A large army, seemingly made up of the Jeongmu Alliance, was surrounded on three sides by pure white troops.
Even if you put a child who knew nothing about military strategy in the game, you could tell at a glance who had the advantage.
“What a piece of crap!”
The running Chiljisingae's mouth erupted incessantly with curses. He spat them out habitually, but his insides were even more rotten than his outside.
The situation is too urgent.
Overcoming this situation would be difficult without outside help. Perhaps their slightly late arrival was simply a stroke of luck, Chiljishin-gae steadied his legs.
“You beggars! If you get food, you should pay for it! Run! Run until your legs break!”
“Oh my, really!”
“There’s something to pick up and eat!”
Although the answer wasn't very positive, the Open Doors he led did their best to pursue the Chiljishinkai. Those who knew this fierce battle would determine the fate of the martial world could not possibly discuss fatigue.
The face of the Chiljishin-gae, approaching the battlefield, subtly changes.
The speed slows down.
little by little.
Then, the Chiljishin-gae stopped in its tracks.
"this……."
Chiljishin-gae muttered, as if he had lost his mind. But his words ultimately remained unfinished. He had no way to describe the situation before his eyes.
The corners of Chiljishin-gae's eyes trembled.
'What kind of hell is this?'
Something incomprehensible was unfolding before my eyes. I had assumed that Jeongmu Alliance was surrounded by Baekgeomseong and under attack, but upon closer inspection, I saw that Baekgeomseong was merely surrounding Jeongmu Alliance.
Rather, they seemed reluctant to clash with the political alliance.
Why did this situation happen?
The reason is simple.
From all over, those emanating black magic were running wild. Their ferocity was so intense that at first I thought they were elite members of the Demonic Cult rushing into the Jeongmu Alliance.
But that's not it.
Their clothing was no different from that of the other disciples around them. Among those rampaging figures, there were some faces that Chiljishinkai recognized. No, there were many.
My head doesn't turn.
Even though it was a situation that was so obvious to me, I couldn't understand why this was happening.
If you're in a situation you don't understand, there's someone you should seek out first. Chiljishin Gae's gaze found Kwon Geuk.
That wasn't that difficult.
'power?'
In an instant, an overwhelming force began to surge forward. Just by the power contained within the book, it was easy to guess who wielded it.
But it's strange.
Why is it that the power of the Kwon-geuk is directed towards me and not towards the enemy? If things were to go my way, our allies would be exposed to the power…
Then, something strange happened.
The political leaders were swayed by the power Kwon Geuk unleashed. The power was so immense that simply lightening their bodies and floating through the air was enough. Kwon Geuk's power was sending them flying like feathers.
"what……."
The words are not completed.
Desolation, and absurdity.
Strange things that seemed completely out of place kept happening in this miserable battlefield.
‘Who on earth is the leader… … .’
That was the moment.
I saw the Seven-Pointed Star.
The sight of Kwon Geuk radiating power towards this side, and Baek Hoe-myeong rushing towards Kwon Geuk.
A bright blue sword was shining on Baek Hoe-myeong's sword.
“Oh, no…….”
The sword that pierced through the center of the sword shines brightly in the sunlight.
“Maengjuu …
The Seven-Legged God cried out desperately.
Again.
A drop of blood falls to the floor.
It's a common occurrence on the battlefield, after all, a place of blood and death.
But the meaning of that one drop of blood was different.
The great Sima Qianshi.
There is no blood in the world that is not precious, but the blood of the Kwon family has a distinct meaning.
Blood spurts from the tip of the cold metal that pierces the body of the superhuman who has supported the martial world for decades.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Kwon Geuk.

Even among those who have lost their will and are running wild, there are those who stop and look back at the extreme.
“Move….”
Blood flowing down the corner of the mouth.
A sword that pierced the stomach.
But in contrast, Kwon Geuk's expression remained unchanged. He still exuded power, without batting an eyelash.
"good!"
Woof woof woof!
Power becomes stronger.
Even though his stomach was pierced, Kwon-geuk remained unfazed. As if he had known this would happen, he simply carried on with his duties.
Everyone was sick of that sight.
But the person who was most shocked was, of course, Baek Hoe-myeong.
The wide-open eyes have no intention of closing.
His sword had clearly pierced Kwon Geuk's body. But Kwon Geuk continued to exert his power as if nothing had happened.
"this……."
Anger filled the space left by confusion.
He twisted the sword he'd thrust in. He felt a weight in his hand. He pulled out the sword and drew it out.
Crunch!
With a chilling sound, Kwon Geuk's back split open, revealing his crimson flesh. But Kwon Geuk didn't even flinch. He continued to wield his power as if it were a given.
'What the hell is this guy?'
Baek Hoe-myeong's eyes waver.
This is what they should have.
They had the power to focus on one thing, forgetting even the pain of their resentment toward the other. At least, in this moment.
This is not the kind of appearance that Kwon Geuk should show, having received the fruits of Kang Ho's sins.
“Sima Qianse!”
Phew!
Baek Hoe-myeong's sword pierces Kwon Geuk's chest again.
“Coo-hoo!”
No matter how extreme, people are people. From his mouth, blood began to pour out like a fountain.
“So Seong-ju.”
But his voice remains firm.
The moment he heard his voice, which was unwavering, goosebumps ran down Baek Hoe-myeong's entire body.
“Please take a good look.”
Woof woof woof!
The ground shook as if he had raised his internal energy to such a degree that the stones on the ground began to float into the air.
“Still, he is a strong man.”
Kwaaaa …
An incredible power emanated from both hands. There was no sign of sympathy or support. The warriors of the Jeongmu Alliance, who had been filling the front, were blown away as if swept away by a storm.
“Leader!”
“Maengjuu …
Those who realized what Kwon Geuk was doing now shed tears and tried to resist, but they could not resist Kwon Geuk's power.
It flies away helplessly.
“Maengjuu …
A desperate scream shook the earth.
“…….”
At this moment, Baek Hoe-myeong forgot that he had to cut off Kwon Geuk's lifeline. He simply stuck his sword into Kwon Geuk's back and stared blankly at his back.
Even the Baekgeomseong warriors surrounding the Jeongmu Alliance did not dare to think of doing anything.
I was completely amazed by this extraordinary and magnificent sight.
Is this something humans can do?
No one could have imagined that a human being could do something like this. So no one prepared for it, and no one could stop it.
And I didn't even think about stopping it.
A strange atmosphere was created.
Although they harbored a deep hatred for the world of martial arts, they felt compelled to observe this moment. They needed to witness with their own eyes how far a single human will could go.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Get swept away.
Power swept away the people like a torrential downpour.
The Seven-Legged God retreated without thinking.
It's coming in.
It was like a dam bursting, floodwaters rushing into an empty channel. It was a hundred times more dangerous because instead of water, power was pouring in.
People swept away by power were flying towards me like leaves blown away by a storm.
“Take it!”
Chiljishin-gae shouted without realizing it.
Initially, those pushed by the gentle winds managed to maintain their balance, but now they were out of their element. Most were either losing their minds under the pressure of power or were flying off without any sense of balance.
The beggars accepted them.
Thump! Thump!
Those who lost consciousness or balance were taken in by beggars.
The Seven-Shin-Gae, who had given the order, stared at Kwon-Geuk with piercing eyes, without even looking back. The sword that had pierced his chest was piercingly cold.
“……Leader.”
Kwon Geuk was able to survive.
With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult to escape any situation. But Kwon Geuk didn't choose that path.
It's foolish, but it's so obvious.
Because Kwon Geuk is that kind of man.
It's unimaginable that Kwon Geuk would abandon others and run away. Anyone who has watched him for a long time would think so.
A sacrifice that was so obviously chosen.
That's why it's more heartbreaking, that's why it's more sad.
“Mengjuu …
The desperate screams of the Chiljishin-gae shook the earth.
“Cough.”
Kwon Geuk's body was slightly different from before.
His once dark hair had turned pure white, and his once childlike skin was instantly covered in wrinkles. His once massive body, seemingly capable of supporting a mountain, was now shrunken and hunched.
If you only look at his appearance, no one would know that this person is the Kwon Geuk who was called the best Kwon in the world.
Still, there was one thing that remained unchanged.
Baek Hoe-myeong swallows dry saliva.
Kwon Geuk's expedition was exhausted. Having exhausted all his innate abilities, there was no way he could survive. He would die naturally without anyone intervening.
Even that time is running out.
'Still… … .'
Why doesn't the feeling of oppression go away at all?
That shabby back.
Why does my back, which is bent and small and shabby, look so big?
Baek Hoe-myeong could tell.
"Strength isn't everything. It's will that counts."
That's what the head of the household said.
Baek Hoe-myeong accepted everything Ga-ju said as truth, but this one was incomprehensible. Ultimately, they suffered because they lacked strength. If only they had the power, the martial arts world wouldn't have dared target them.
That's why I gained strength. Because strength is everything.
But now, Kwon-geuk was telling him something that even the head of the household could not understand.
Strength isn't everything.
Will sometimes surpasses strength.
“……Leader.”
Baek Hoe-myeong, who had been calling for the power of the sect, was once again called the leader. This was something he himself hadn't realized.
respect.
How can one not show respect to this great man?
Regardless of whether you are an enemy or not, you cannot help but respect this man.
Slowly, the body of the swaying force unfolds.
Kwon Geuk raised his head and looked at the sky for a long time, then lowered his head and looked at the battlefield that had been trampled so mercilessly.
