Taejonbirok Volume 29, Episode 13
Chapter 155: The Lazy Man, Settlement (3)
Break it.
The gust of wind seemed like it would shatter everything.
The heavens held their breath, and the earth trembled in fear.
Among those who saw this scene without knowing the circumstances, would anyone dare to guess that this was indeed a scene created by human ignorance?
The evil dragon ascends.
A dark, evil dragon, wrapped in all the world's malice and despair, was rising into the sky, trampling the world.
"ah……."
The war has stopped.
The Demonic Cult and the Jeongmu Alliance, who had been gnashing their teeth to kill each other, let go of their hands and blankly watched the scene.
Even though the enemy was right in front of them, wielding a sharp sword aimed at their necks, their gaze remained fixed on the evil dragon.
It was that overwhelming.
Ordinary people might not know, but everyone here could guess how that evil dragon was created, and by whose hands.
So how can I take my eyes off it?
A realm of unimaginable ignorance lies before my eyes… a realm I wouldn't dare look upon even if I died and was reborn dozens of times. Just the sight of it makes my heart tremble and my soul feel suffocated.
Baek Gong-do's eyes trembled.
'How… … .'
It's so obvious who the master of that evil dragon is.
Heavenly Horse.
No one in the world but him could dare unleash such incredible magic. It would be unimaginable.
Looking at the evil dragon that seemed to be about to trample the world, Baek Gong-do could not help but be overcome by a deep sense of helplessness.
Can you stop the Heavenly Demon?
If all the warriors of the Jeongmu Alliance and the Demonic Cult, who are currently at war, join forces to defeat the Heavenly Demon, will they be able to stop him?
Before seeing the evil dragon with his own eyes, he might have thought it was possible. But the evil dragon trembling before his eyes robbed Baek Gong-do of even that confidence.
Cheonwicheon.
They say there's a heaven above the heaven, but even that phrase falls short of describing the invincibility of the Heavenly Demon. The moment that evil dragon turns its head to this battlefield, everyone here will be slaughtered without even being able to properly swing their swords.
The sight of the blood horse trembling before Baek Gong-do's eyes was visible.
I guess so.
Although Baek Gong-do learned martial arts from Cheon Ma, he was still a true practitioner. However, Hyeol Ma learned magical arts from Cheon Ma. The emotions they now feel after learning magical arts are entirely different from those experienced by those who have mastered true arts.
That's why you can turn your head away even when he's right in front of you.
But I had no intention of attacking the Blood Demon's weakness.
'What does that mean?'
Whether he defeats the Blood Demon or not, nothing will change here. Everyone must realize that fact now.
Even if they win the war, if Cheonma remains, the Central Plains will fall. Even if they lose the war, if Wei Yanhu defeats Cheonma, the Central Plains will be preserved.
But why should I risk my life here and fight?
A deep sense of helplessness.
Even Baek Gong-do, who was prepared to give up his life to atone for his sins, couldn't shake off his sense of helplessness. So, what must others feel?
That was the moment.
“Don’t look away!”
A deafening scream, so loud it seemed like it would rip my ears off, erupted.
'Amazing Investigation!'
It was the voice of Shin Gi-su, Jo Hyeon.
His voice, filled with inner strength, rebuked the battlefield.
“Keep your feet on the ground. Tighten your core and look forward!”
The new investigator was quite a unique entity in the Central Plains.
The world of martial arts is a place where strength proves everything. The words of the strong become law, and the words of the weak, even if they have reasonable grounds, cannot be considered justice.
In such a world of martial arts, Shin Gi-su was the most trusted person in the world, even though his military power was not something to be talked about.
Considering that the Zhuge Liang family, which was said to rule the world with a single head, had not been able to rise above the lowest ranks of the Five Great Families for hundreds of years, the trust that Sin Gi-su-sa received was certainly peculiar.
People's eyes turned to the new investigator.
Upright.
An evil dragon raged in the sky, and a fierce wind blew. Despite the gusts swirling the dust, the divine investigator remained perfectly still.
He was looking at everyone with his eyes wide open, reminiscent of a green bamboo tree standing alone on a cliff.
Sophistication.
How else can you explain it?
Baek Gong-do looked at the new investigator without saying a word.
I can't take my eyes off it.
The new detective shouted firmly.
"Humanity cannot resist the typhoon! It cannot stop the thunderbolts! It cannot push back the seas, nor dam the rivers! Compared to the raging forces of nature, humans are nothing more than dust. One!"
The voice of the new detective rang out loud.
"And yet, humans survive! We build levees to block typhoons, we build houses to stave off lightning! We divert rivers to change their course! No matter how powerful nature may be, humans struggle to survive! If we had given up because the enemy was strong, because there was nothing we couldn't do right now, we would never have made it this far!"
It was a shrill cry.
Baek Gong-do could tell.
Those are words he speaks to them, but they are also words he speaks to himself. And… …they are words that have shaped his life.
In a world where the uneducated and the weak are routinely looked down upon, he has relied solely on his own abilities to persevere. It must have been like climbing a cliff with bare hands and feet.

Ordinary people would have given up hundreds of times over, but Shin Gi-su simply climbed and climbed. And then, finally, he proved himself.
He became a soldier of the Jeongmu Alliance and an aide to Kwon Geuk. And now, he has transcended even those positions to become the leader of the Jeongmu Alliance and the martial arts world.
Because it is said by such a mysterious investigator, even obvious words sound different.
The life he had lived, the things he had accumulated, were what sustained him. Neither the raging storm nor the savage, raging murderous intent could deter the withered old man.
"Don't look away! Kick those legs off the ground! What can a human being do when he can't even do what's right in front of him? Just because I can't do everything doesn't mean I can't do anything. Take up your sword! And do what you can now! Everything that piles up must have meaning! Never forget that you are a warrior!"
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Baek Gong-do responded to the new investigator's words by shouting without realizing it.
“Father!”
"older brother!"
Baek Gong-do's eyes became cold.
'Yes, it makes sense.'
He took the wrong path. He may have committed something beyond redemption. How many people died because of what he did?
He was fighting like this, claiming to atone for his sins, but he knew very well that his life alone would not atone for his sins.
So was the life he lived in vain?
No, it isn't.
Humans sin. They make mistakes and commit errors. But that doesn't mean their entire lives are invalidated.
If it's wrong, correct it. If it's wrong, fix it.
And it all starts with taking one step right now, as the new investigation tells us.
“Step back!”
The sword decorates the sky.
As if to separate this place from the place where the evil dragons roamed, a curtain of swords rose as if to cut through the sky. Then, they all fell towards the Demonic Cult.
“Avoid it!”
“Ah!”
A shrill scream erupted. The terrified cultists scrambled to avoid the sword. The sight of those unable to dodge spewing blood was vivid.
“Geomyeong-ah!”
Baek Gong-do shouted without realizing it.
His son, Baek Geom-yeong, was holding a sword and aiming it at the demonic cult members.
Baek Geom-yeong glanced back.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the rampaging evil dragon, but his eyes were not on the evil dragon, but on a tiny ray of light beneath it.
'Tsk.'
Wei Yanhu is fighting over there.
Only Wei Yanhu stands alone against that powerful enemy that no one dares to resist.
'It's a relationship that's not even funny.'
It started with ill fate. And it continued with ill fate. But now, Baek Geom-yeong was here, wielding his sword to protect Wi Yeon-ho.
They say life is unpredictable, but who would have imagined something like this would happen just a month ago?
I have no complaints about fighting for Wei Yanhu.
Even if we walk different paths, if we are going in the same direction, wouldn't it be possible to walk together for a while?
As long as the direction that Wei Yanhu wants to go and the direction that he wants to go are not different, he can fight for Wei Yanhu at any time.
However, what makes him unbearable is that the one who faces Cheonma there is not him, but Wei Yanho.
Baek Geom-yeong bit his lip and looked ahead.
“No one can go.”
I thought he was an easy opponent to deal with. When I first encountered Wei Yanho, I didn't strike him down on the spot because I didn't want to reveal my true identity, even if it was awkwardly.
However, Wi Yeon-ho, who seemed ridiculous, went ahead and accomplished things that Baek Geom-yeong could not even imagine, and now he fights alone, carrying the entire Central Plains on his back.
A nemesis that must be chased and chased throughout one's life.
How to beat him.
'It's simple.'
It's exactly as the new investigation says.
Looking into the distance is certainly meaningful. But if you don't put the strength into each step you take now, you'll spend your entire life just looking.
It is the eyes that lead people, but it is the feet that move people.
It may seem like a single step that is meaningless and infinitely small, but each step, each step, adds up to a thousand miles and ten thousand miles.
"The Central Plains will not give up. Today, we will destroy you here and now and restore peace!"
His voice lacked the heaviness of a divine investigator's cry. It lacked the weight that moved everyone.
But at least it was enough to put those here to shame.
"until when!"
The dark king shouted loudly.
“I’m just going to leave it to the kids and just watch!”
The dark king's face was flushed red.
Originally, it should be them.
Those who fight the Heavenly Horse and those who shout and encourage others must be people who are treated well in the martial world.
Baekgeomyeong might be able to become a hero.
But if he becomes a hero, what will those who have lived in the world of martial arts do?
If you gain something, you must give up something.
If you cannot lay down your life like a blade of grass in times of crisis, you cannot dare to be called a king and be supported.
"While we're here, there are those who are fighting! They may lack skill, but they certainly don't lack courage! The Tang family will fight here today, risking everything! Let's deal with those wicked bastards and go help Wei Yanhu!"
The swordsman shouted quickly.
“Shaman, obey the order!”
"insect!"
"Fight at the forefront! Don't retreat! We will defeat the enemy and cut off the head of the Heavenly Horse as soon as possible!"
"insect!"
The battlefield, which had been cooling down, heated up again.
The eyes of the new investigator slowly sank as he watched them, not satisfied with just blocking them, begin to drive back the demonic forces.
