Episode 1061. Is this how it’s done? (1)
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The disciples of the volcano flinched and opened their eyes wide in the aftermath of the swirling explosion.
“I, that… … .”
Every time Danzagang unleashed his might, the earth would burst and the terrain would distort. However, even amidst the explosion of this incredible magic, Jang Il-so did not retreat an inch and stood up to Danzagang.
Even in the face of an attack that seemed like it would destroy a mountain, Jang Il-so stubbornly followed Dan-ja-gang.
It’s a truly precarious tightrope walk.
No, it’s such a dangerous feat that even those words can’t fully express it.
Even the disciples of Hwasan, who had nothing but ill will toward Jang Il-so, felt their hearts sink whenever the black magic energy brushed against Jang Il-so’s body.
Even in the blink of an eye, dozens of attacks and defenses take place. If you make a single mistake in the midst of all this, that vicious magic will immediately strike you from a close range, and in that instant, half of your body, including Jang Il-so and Nabal, will be blown away.
And Jang Il-so, the person involved, would know that fact much more clearly than the disciples of Hwasan. However, he continues to attack Dan-ja-gang as if he does not feel fear.
like…….
“I, that… … Cheongmyeong… … .”
Baekcheon nodded without realizing it at the words that Jogeol let out like a groan. The fighting style that Jang Il-so was showing right now was similar to someone they knew very well.
‘I never thought there would be another person in the world who could do that.’
Even Baekcheon, who constantly watched and learned from Cheongmyeong, would not dare to try such an absurd thing. The reason Baekcheon cannot try such a method in the first place is not because he is weak.
Because knowing something doesn’t mean you can do it.
In a situation where invisible attacks are being exchanged, standing that close and not allowing a single attack from the opponent is a matter of sense before being uneducated. And no matter how much you refine your human senses, they cannot escape their innate limitations.
In terms of boldly unfolding his knowledge in accordance with the principles of the law, Baekcheon is actually better than Cheongmyeong. However, no matter how hard Baekcheon tries, it is impossible for him to imitate Cheongmyeong’s animalistic senses.
But now Jang Il-so is dealing with the bishop like that.
At that moment, Yunjong, who had been watching absentmindedly, opened his mouth as if he was in pain.
“Isn’t that too… … too dangerous, that… … ?”
The acrobatics on the diagonal line that even squeezed the hearts of those watching eventually made the disciples of Hwasan express their concern for Jang Il-so.
I know.
If they can do the same thing, Jang Il So might be better than Cheong Myeong right now.
But strangely, my heart wouldn’t calm down as I watched that scene. It felt like Jang Il-so’s head would burst open at any moment and spill brain matter.
‘Is that really possible?’
I broke out in a cold sweat and my whole body became clammy.
“If this continues, Jang Il-so will be affected… … .”
Just then, a cool voice came into my ear.
“You just keep saying whatever comes to your mind. You stupid political idiots.”
Baekcheon instinctively turned his head and looked at the person who opened his mouth.
The military of Sapaeryeon, Ho Ga-myeong. He continued speaking without taking his eyes off the fierce battle between Jang Il-so and Dan-ja-gang.
“If you don’t know, keep your mouth shut and watch. He is not someone you can judge with your pitiful mouths.”
Baekcheon felt a sudden shiver of emotion, but that feeling soon disappeared. It wasn’t because of Hogamyeong’s presence, but because of the expression on his face.
As far as Baekcheon knows, Ho Ga-myeong is like Jang Il-so’s right-hand man.
Clearly, even before the Sapaeryeon incident, in Maninbang… … No, I heard that before the name Maninbang was even created, Jang Il-so’s name and Ho Ga-myeong’s name were spread together.
In that case, Jang Il-so would be an irreplaceable person to that man. But how can such a master maintain such a calm expression while risking his life on a tightrope?
At that moment, Hogamyeong glanced away and looked coldly at Hwasan’s disciples.
I don’t really want to talk to them, but… … .
“Do you think the Volcanic Sword Association is more trustworthy?”
Baekcheon didn’t answer, but Hogamyeong continued talking as if no answer was necessary.
“That must be because you have witnessed with your own eyes the miraculous victories that the Volcanic Sword Association has achieved.”
Baekcheon opened his lips as if to refute something, but then closed them tightly.
That’s not the only reason they trust Cheongmyeong. But if Cheongmyeong hadn’t shown them how to win battles that seemed impossible, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to trust him as blindly as they do now.
“How many years have you been watching it? Five years? Ten years?”
“… … .”
“Know this clearly, you little punks of the political party.”
Hogamyeong said it as if spitting it out.
“For over twenty years, Jang Il-so has always trampled on those stronger than him. If there had been even one defeat during that time, Jang Il-so’s name would have been forgotten as just another common ronin’s name.”
“… … .”
“I survived because I didn’t lose, and I achieved because I didn’t lose. Whether the opponent is strong or not, it doesn’t matter.”
At that moment, Baekcheon felt a chill run down his spine.
Of course, they also trusted Cheongmyeong excessively. However, Jang Il-so’s trust in Ho Ga-myeong was on a different level from theirs.
‘Isn’t that closer to the devil’s cult?’
It is closer to faith than trust. It is simply believing without asking for reasons or circumstances.
But… … if you think about it, wouldn’t that be the case?
If they continue to watch Cheongmyeong continue to win in the same way as he is now for over ten years, wouldn’t they eventually become fanatics about Cheongmyeong in terms of competition?
It’s as if Hogamyeong, who has been watching all of this, blindly believes in Jang Il-so.
At that moment, Hogamyeong spoke as if driving a wedge into the ground.
“At least I can’t even imagine seeing you defeated.”
Baekcheon, trembling with that firm and blind faith, looked back at Jang Il-so without realizing it.
I’m talking about the giant who reached the top of Sapa with those two hands.
A few strands of broken hair fluttered in all directions.
Jang Il-so, whose hair was disheveled, rushed forward, spewing blood. His shoulders had long since turned black from the pressure of the magic energy.
A body that was riddled with wounds that anyone could see.

But the gaze that was occasionally visible through the messily flying hair was incomparably sharp compared to when the battle began.
Kkwaduk!
Danjagang’s hand clawed at Jang Il-so’s wrist, literally tearing off a handful of flesh. Even though it was just a graze, the wound was deep enough to show the bone.
It must have been painful to have flesh ripped off his bare body, but Jang Il-so still showed no reaction and persistently aimed at Dan-ja-gang’s head.
‘That’s crazy.’
A hollow laugh suddenly escaped Cheongmyeong’s mouth as he supported Jang Il-so.
It’s rare to see someone laugh so genuinely out of bewilderment on the battlefield, and not just for the sake of provocation.
The way Jang Il-so was acting right now was extremely miserable.
‘Is that what I look like when I’m watched from behind?’
When you do it yourself, you don’t know. Because people can’t see themselves objectively. An experience that no one else can have. Cheongmyeong’s impression of the absurd experience of watching himself fight with a third party’s eyes was only one.
‘… … You survived until the end, that’s great.’
Doing such things. Now I think I understand why everyone who saw him fight felt distant from him. And I think I know exactly how his enemies must have felt.
Of course, Jang Il-so is not perfect.
He is a prosecutor, but Jang Il-so is a counselor. No matter how much they try to be the same, there is a fundamental difference. That difference pushed Jang Il-so to the brink of death at every moment.
But that doesn’t really matter, because what follows is Cheongmyeong.
It is also not important that Cheongmyeong has never supported anyone. Because you can see it. You can understand with your senses, not your eyes, how the person who was always behind protected Cheongmyeong.
Yeah, what he sees now is… … .
This is the scene that Tang Bo was seeing a hundred years ago.
Breathe and assimilate. Every breath, every movement, every tiny muscle movement should be palpable. You should be completely integrated with the person in front of you, and you should be able to anticipate the movement before it even happens.
‘You did a great job with this, you son of a bitch!’
It was disappointing that the one I had to protect was that damned Jang Il-so, but somehow it didn’t feel as bad as I thought it would.
Thanks to that, I was able to see with my own eyes scenes that I would never have been able to see on my own.
Paaaaah!
Cheongmyeong’s sword extended. Immediately after, Danjagang and Jang Il-so fiercely extended their hands toward each other. Cheongmyeong’s sword, which advanced just a split second earlier, blocked Danjagang’s attack in advance, and cut through his flesh with a preemptive strike.
An extreme stabbing attack that puts everything on the line with a single sword. This was closer to swordsmanship than swordsmanship.
– Other memorization? Well, if you need it, just use it. I just like it. Why? Do you have any complaints?
‘You stupid kid!’
You have to stand behind it to find out.
In order to kill an opponent, subtle secrets are much more useful. If you can combine it with the poison of the Tang family, it is a priority to somehow hit the enemy’s body with the secrets.
But that alone is not enough to protect the one standing in front. To stop the enemy, you must be strong, and to threaten the enemy, you must be visible to the enemy.
The absurd paradox that the dagger, which should be fired more secretly and quickly than any other weapon, must instead be thrown so that it is visible to the enemy. The twelve swords, the Twelve Swords, were completed within this paradox.
Ugh.
Cheongmyeong bit his lip until it bled.
‘Why on earth do I always realize this so late, you idiot… … .’
Even on the battlefield, which was extremely lonely and sometimes even solitary, there were many people standing behind him. If it weren’t for them, Cheongmyeong would have become a cold corpse spread out on the battlefield long ago, let alone beheading Cheonma.
At that moment, Danjagang raised his arms with a terrible sound. Jang Il-so could not just sit by and watch that huge movement. Jang Il-so dove inside in one go and in the blink of an eye, he locked twelve fists into Danjagang’s upper body.
“Crunch… … .”
Blood gushed out of Danzagang’s mouth again. However, even as he spurted blood out of his mouth, Danzagang’s eyes sparkled with even darker blood.
“A thousand… a thousand thousand majaerim.”
At that moment, Jang Il-so’s gaze suddenly turned upward.
Unlike the swordsman’s attack, the warrior’s attack can withstand the impact with self-defense. That difference was what was dragging Jang Il-so down to the bottom of hell at that moment.
“Man—ma—ang—bok!”
A magical energy the size of a house shot out from Danjagang’s fingertips and fell on Jang Il-so and Cheongmyeong’s heads at the same time.
That moment!
– Brother Taoist!
‘okay!’
Cheongmyeong stepped forward as if he already knew.
‘Is this how you do it?’
The sword of clarity shot out like a flash of lightning and flew towards the neck of Danjagang, who was in harmony with a single sword.
