Episode 1068. You want me to kill you? (3)
Trust is a word that has a really pleasant sound. There is nothing that gives strength to people as much as the trust that is built between people.
But in some relationships, trust is nothing more than a castle built on sand.
‘I knew it, but… … .’
Baekcheon bit his lips tightly.
The person who should not be trusted the most in this world. The person who should never be trusted. Who could dare to object to the fact that it is Jang Il-so?
However, the reason I let my guard down for a moment was because of what he had shown me during the fierce battle. The feeling of being a comrade who fought together usually allows me to overcome all conflicts, even if only for a moment.
But Jang Il-so is Jang Il-so. That sinister snake was the only one that should not be trusted until the very end… … .
“Private school… … .”
“……okay.”
Baekcheon drew his sword heavily.
The number of Black Ghosts approaching while closing in on the encirclement appears to be at least two hundred. If Hong Gyeon, who is guarding Jang Il-so, joins, the number will increase even more.
Considering that these are people who were selected and trained by the Black Demon and Maninbang, they are no match for the ten or so disciples of Hwasan. However… … .
“We have to fight.”
Baekcheon’s eyes gradually grew colder. There was nothing new about a desperate situation. Was there ever a place among the battlefields they had been through that wasn’t hopeless?
‘Just open the road.’
There is no reason to fight them. We just need to somehow break through this siege and escape, and cross the Yangtze River. Of course, the distance from Hangzhou to the Yangtze River is extremely long… … That’s something to think about later. The first thing we need to do is get out of here.
Baekcheon’s seething gaze was directed at Jang Il-so. Seeing him staring at him so fiercely, Jang Il-so burst out laughing.
“You’re a bad kid. To look at someone like that.”
In fact, Baekcheon was glaring at Jang Il-so and provoking him with his gaze, but his attention was completely focused on Cheongmyeong.
The volcano’s power is almost completely preserved now. Namgung Do-wi, who had made his way in the front, is almost exhausted, and Hye-yeon has also lost a lot of her stamina, but it should still be possible to keep up.
The biggest problem right now is none other than Cheongmyeong. Baekcheon glanced at his back.
‘Can you take a step?’
Objectively speaking, it is impossible. Even with the visible external injuries, it is a miracle that he is still alive. And considering the nature of Cheongmyeong, who does not even groan when he is about to die, the internal injuries are probably much worse than the external injuries.
But… … Baekcheon was sure.
The moment the battle breaks out, Cheongmyeong will charge at Jang Il-so without looking back. That’s Cheongmyeong’s way.
But this time, they must do whatever it takes to stop Cheongmyeong from running wild. If only they could survive and not cry out when they see Cheongmyeong turned into a corpse.
In that case, the only person who can take on Cheongmyeong’s role here is Baekcheon.
It was at that very moment that Baekcheon’s two eyes became dreary with life.
Jang Il-so, who was looking at the elite Black Ghosts closing in with a strange gaze, slowly opened his mouth.
“Very… …a very appropriate encirclement. I want to praise it.”
He smiled crookedly and fixed his gaze on one spot.
“But… … I don’t think I’ve ever given such an order. Huh? Your Majesty.”
At those words, Baekcheon unconsciously turned his gaze. Although he knew that he should never take his gaze off Jang Il-so, his eyes instinctively followed Man-geum-dae-bu.
Among the elite Black Demons, the Man-geum-dae-bu was walking with one of his empty sleeves fluttering. Unlike Cheong-myeong and Jang-il-so, who were in shambles due to the fierce battle, he was in perfect health without a single scratch.
Man Geum Dae Bu, who had caught Jang Il So’s gaze, opened his mouth without changing his expression. In a voice that was utterly emotionless.
“Any… … great subordinate is someone who reads the will of his superiors in advance and acts accordingly.”
“Haha.”
Jang Il-so let out an ambiguous laugh. It was hard to tell whether it was a laugh or a laugh of displeasure.
“Those guys are dangerous.”
Man-geum-dae-bu’s gaze left Jang Il-so and was fixed on Hwa-san-pa. Hwa-san’s disciples unconsciously bit their lips in front of the gaze that showed no emotion.
“You must have felt it too, Yeonju. Those guys are different from the sect’s idiots who are drunk on their power and just occupying their positions. They will definitely catch Yeonju’s ankles someday.”
“… … .”
“We must eliminate this creature now, before it is too late. We must catch and kill the tiger while it is still a cub.”
After hearing those words, Jang Il-so slowly looked over Hwasan’s disciples. The last person he looked at was Cheongmyeong.
“That certainly makes sense.”
“I…….”
Baekcheon clenched his teeth. Jang Il-so nodded slowly as if savoring those words.
“Tigers should be caught and killed when they are young… … . Yes, that is right. But… … .”
Jang Il-so’s face, looking at Man-geum-dae-bu, began to show signs of delirium.
“Don’t you think it’s a little late to be talking about this now?”
It was at that moment that Baekcheon felt something strange.
In Jang Il-so’s gaze towards Man Geum Dae-bu, and in Man Geum Dae-bu’s gaze towards Jang Il-so, there was not even a speck of the goodwill that is usually shown when looking at the same side.
That… … rather, seemed closer to the eyes of a beast looking at an enemy who had invaded its territory.
‘no way?’
At that moment, Jang Il-so opened his mouth again. The words that came out of his mouth gave Baek-cheon confidence.
“There’s no way they would have set up such a grand siege just to catch these guys. So… …Manggeumdaebu.”
An endlessly sinister and murderous light flowed from Jang Il-so’s two eyes. Just looking at them was so eerie that it seemed like it would freeze your heart.
“What are you really hunting here?”
“… … .”
“These guys? No, no. That can’t be happening.”
Jang Il-so smiled, revealing his teeth.
“I’ll be right there.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t it?”
Man-geum-dae-bu looked at Jang Il-so with indifferent eyes without saying a word. Jang Il-so, who received that gaze, said as if he found it amusing.

“If you think about it, it’s a good opportunity. Yes, it’s a really good opportunity. I’m completely exhausted after leading a small group of people.”
“… … .”
“But… … I never would have thought that the greatest abacus in the world would do something so stupid. It seems like the abacus you were so proud of was completely destroyed by the devil’s bastards. Do you really think that if I disappear, someone like you can take my place? Seriously?”
“seat?”
Man-geum-dae-bu, who had been listening quietly, refuted in a cold tone.
“That’s not like a loser.”
“… … .”
“I don’t really care about the location. After all, the Saphaeryeon was created out of necessity. If you disappear, Gangnam will just go back to how it was before.”
Those words were the perfect wedge, making everyone here understand the situation perfectly.
The encirclement prepared by Man-geum-dae-bu was not intended to capture Hwa-san’s disciples. His target was none other than Jang Il-so.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
Jang Il-so looked at Man Geum-dae-bu with cold eyes and spoke slowly.
“Do you think those political bastards will leave Gangnam alone after the Sapaeryeon disappears?”
“You are mistaken, Jang Il-so.”
Man-geum-dae-bu no longer called Jang Il-so Yeon-ju.
“Mistake?”
“It’s not Sa-pae-ryeon they hate. It’s you and Man-in-bang.”
“… … .”
“Even at this moment, do you think those who are so obsessed with power would have any reason to waste their energy on Gangnam without you? It’s not that they won’t attack Gangnam because you’re here. It’s that they have the possibility of heading to Gangnam because you’re here.”
That was quite a painful point. Even Jang Il-so couldn’t refute that statement and just laughed it off.
But Man Geum Dae Bu’s words were not over yet.
“And… … why should I care about that in the first place?”
“Hmm?”
A cool smile appeared on Man Geum Dae Bu’s face.
“Even if the day comes when the Sa-pae-ryeon you belong to rules the world, I don’t think there will be a place for me there.”
“… … .”
“Isn’t that right?”
Jang Il-so smiled strangely as he listened to Man-geum-dae-bu’s speculation. Man-geum-dae-bu also faced him with an eerie aura, not being pushed back at all.
“When the hunt is over, the hunting dog goes into the pot. There is only one way for the hunting dog to survive.”
The voice of the great wealthy man spread coldly across the desolate land.
“Before the owner gets suspicious, it either bites the hand and runs away… or bites the owner’s neck first.”
“… … .”
“What do you think, Jang Il-so?”
This time, everyone’s eyes were focused on Jang Il-so. Jang Il-so scratched the back of his head in a somewhat exaggerated manner and then clicked his tongue briefly.
“Tsk.”
Soon his long eyes drew a line.
“I thought you would at least wait until Shaolin retreated… … .”
“You don’t make fun of your enemies. But… … it was your mistake to no longer think of me as your enemy.”
Man Geum Dae Bu glared at Jang Il So with murderous eyes.
“If you wanted to make me into a dog, you should have leashed me properly. Did you really think I would be like the dogs you’ve tamed so far?”
“… … That’s a painful sound.”
“In the world of martial arts, regret is never too late, no matter how fast you make it. If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price, right? That’s the law of the jungle.”
Man-geum-dae-bu gestured towards Jang Il-so, Hong-ryeon, and Hwa-san.
“Kill them all, don’t leave a single one behind.”
“The lotus… … .”
“There’s no need to capture him. Just kill him. Don’t leave any regrets.”
“debriefing!”
With a deep sense of murderous intent, the elite of the Black Ghost Guard slowly closed in on the encirclement at a speed no different from before. It was a truly cautious approach. Their unguarded attitude actually created even greater pressure.
“Tsk.”
Jang Il-so clicked his tongue briefly and glanced back at Cheongmyeong.
“Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to join forces.”
Then Cheongmyeong glanced at him with indifferent eyes.
“You talk so smart, but you can’t even manage one of your own men. You idiot.”
“… … If someone falls into a hole, shouldn’t you help them? Not spit on them and step on them just for fun. Anyway, I told you, they have a really bad personality.”
When he heard from Sapa that he had a bad personality, Cheongmyeong shook his head and grabbed his sword.
Even though they were bluffing, this is a real crisis. For now, all he and Jang Il-so can do is stand still.
However, Cheongmyeong’s gaze was turned to the backs of the Hwasan disciples. They surrounded Cheongmyeong without leaving any gaps to protect him.
Just as the Tang Bo did in the past, they too are here to protect him now. No, perhaps not only now, but whenever he fights.
Cheongmyeong, who had been looking at the back that had grown much bigger than before, turned his gaze towards Man-geum-dae-bu. For a moment, he pushed aside the anger that had been welling up in his chest and scolded him in a cold voice.
“As expected of a Sapha kid, he still doesn’t seem to know. Then I should let him know.”
Cheongmyeong bared his teeth fiercely.
“There was not a single person who turned a volcano into an enemy and came out unscathed.”
At that moment, the sword energy of the disciples of the volcano all shot out simultaneously from their swords.
