Episode 1073. Who Made a Mistake? (3)
“Taaaaaaaap!”
Jo-geol’s thrusts cut through the air like a hawk hunting for prey. His sword, which was characterized by speed and simplicity, shone brighter than anyone else in the volcano in this situation.
Yoon Jong, standing next to Jo Geol, who was jumping around like a fish in water, shouted from time to time.
“Don’t go out, Inma!”
“Ah! I know!”
Every time Jo-geol’s feet twitched, Yoon-jong would sense it like a ghost and grab the leash.
Jo-geol bit his lip tightly. He knew that he had to hold his ground. And now was not the time to step forward to cut off the enemy’s airway.
But wherever you look, you see enemies surrounding you on all sides.
‘I can’t breathe.’
The difference in numbers is too great. No matter how many times I knock them down, it feels like there’s no end to it. No matter how much I try to minimize the consumption of stamina, they’re still people, so it’s impossible not to get tired while fighting like this.
If we keep repeating this war of attrition, won’t we be the ones to fall first in the end?
‘So a little more… … .’
“Hold on!”
“Damn it!”
Finally, a double whammy burst out of Jo-geol’s mouth.
I could clearly see the wounded men rejoining the battle line. If I could at least cut off their breathing passages, the situation would be better than it is now, but there is no way to stop the wounded from joining if I just stand there and take the blows.
“If a Taoist monk can’t even endure it, what are you going to do?”
“I know, damn it! Anyway, stop nagging!”
Jo-geol gritted his teeth and dropped his sword. Since he couldn’t stretch his legs, he had no choice but to use each sword more accurately.
Watching Jo Geol’s swordsmanship grow sharper and sharper, Yoon Jong sighed softly with a stern face.
‘You have to hold on.’
It’s not that Yoon-jong doesn’t know why Jo-geol is acting like that. He also wants to run forward right away, so how much more so must Jo-geol, who is impatient, be?
‘I feel like I’m sinking deeper and deeper into a swamp.’
It wasn’t easy to break through the swarm of enemies. But holding out against them was difficult in another way. More than anything, it was frustrating to not have a way to end the fight on your own.
Have you ever felt so keenly that every time you swing your sword, your inner strength drains away? If it weren’t for the disciples of Hwasan, who had an unusually high inner strength for their age, I might have already lost control of my impatience and committed suicide.
thud!
At that moment, a strong bang was heard.
Paaaaaaaah!
A reddish sword energy instantly adorned the air. Dozens of sword shadows swept away not only the people rushing in front, but also those rushing to the left and right.
“Kuaaaah!”
The sword energy was merely a quick stab, so it was impossible to inflict fatal wounds. However, it was possible to pour cold water on the momentum of enemies who were rushing forward without fear.
Yun Jong saw the person who emitted the black energy.
Baekcheon gritted his teeth and blew out his sword energy again. He had noticed the exhausted state of Ohgeom and was trying to lighten the mood, even if it meant forcing himself to do so.
And then one after another.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Golden light poured into the space Baekcheon had opened up. Hye-yeon supported Baekcheon and thrust her sword into the space without missing a single opening.
“Whew! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Hye-yeon, who always maintained even breathing, was breathing heavily from her mouth.
It was the same for others.
Even Yui Seol, who was as fast as the wind, and Dang Soso, who was always cheerful, were becoming heavier and duller. It was more exhausting than expected to protect those behind and withstand the endless onslaught of enemies.
“Baekcheon Dojo! Let’s change the vanguard!”
Namgung Do-wi, who had been trembling behind him, shouted. But Baekcheon did not look back.
‘The gentleman is dying!’
That spirit is worthy of praise, but it is not a fight that Namgung Do-wi can endure. It would be understandable for him as usual. It is even more so for him, who has exhausted all his strength to get through here.
The moment Baekcheon glanced back, his eyes met with Im So-byeong’s. That was all, but he looked forward again and shouted.
“Hang in there!”
He gritted his teeth as he swung his sword as if shaking it.
‘I believe!’
I don’t believe in the disease of the genitals.
They trusted Cheongmyeong’s judgment in bringing that Lim So-byeong here. There was no way he would have brought Lim So-byeong here without thinking. If Cheongmyeong trusted him, there was no reason for them not to trust him.
That was when.
“Khahahaha!”
Red-hot hunting dogs rushed to the place where the disciples of the volcano had shaken and pounced on it.
“Hong Gyeon?”
Baekcheon opened his eyes wide in surprise. He quickly looked towards Jang Il-so, and saw Jang Il-so, who had been looking this way even while fighting, smiling strangely. Although his life seemed to be in danger because he had more than half of the Hong-gyeons on his side, his face still looked relaxed.
‘Thanks for the gift. You son of a bitch!’
Baekcheon, who had been chewing on his words and spitting them out, returned to focusing on the battlefield.
“Grit your teeth and protect Cheongmyeong!”
His sword sliced through the air like an illusion.
“this…….”
The face of the wealthy man was completely distorted.
Hong-Gyeon dug into the side of Heuk-Gwi-Bo, who was unable to overcome his impatience and was thrown forward. The formation he had formed was completely collapsing.
‘f*ck.’
This situation would never have happened. There would have been a great man in the middle of it, and he would never have let it collapse so helplessly.
But now, even if he were the great-grandfather, there was nothing he could do. He was so excited that the blood rushed to his head, so he couldn’t hear the voices shouting from behind him.

Thanks to the relentless, repeated training, he still maintained his true form, but it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.
Besides, he saw clearly.
“Jang Il-so!”
I’m talking about the sight of Jang Il-so taking each step forward as if seducing someone. There’s no need to think about how that must have looked to Heuk-Gwi-Bo’s excited eyes.
In a situation where the world’s greatest Jang Il-so has lost his power and is sticking his neck out in front of me, who would not lose their senses? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to cut off the lifeline of the traitor Jang Il-so, the leader of the ten thousand people and the leader of the four-legged alliance, with my own hands.
The formation he had painstakingly prepared was now out of his hands, twisting and shaking as it pleased.
‘These idiots!’
If I just calmly did my part as I was told, there was no way I could fail, so why did I act so foolishly?
‘no.’
It is clear that Jang Il-so is putting his own life in danger right now. But in return, he is creating a clear crack in the encirclement of Man-geum-dae-bu. He may not have the strength to break through that crack right now… … .
Man-geum-dae-bu’s gaze suddenly turned towards the volcano.
‘What if that guy runs out of luck?’
Isn’t it too obvious what will happen then?
If they were to let those guys go here, Man-geum-dae-bu’s fate would be sealed. He would be in such a miserable situation that it would be better to take his own life.
“Deploy everyone who remains.”
“It’s not according to plan… … .”
“hurry!”
“yes!”
The reserve forces standing in front all rushed forward. Since they were the ones who had been left behind as a last resort, they could stop the cracks that were occurring there… … .
‘No, it’s not enough… … .’
Crackle.
Man Geum Dae Bu bit his lip without realizing it. They alone can’t completely solve the problem. That’s where Man Geum Dae Bu should be.
‘What should I do?’
No matter how much I calculated it in my head, it wasn’t easy to come to a conclusion.
‘Should I jump in now?’
If Man-geum-dae-bu jumps in, stabilizing the siege will not be a big problem. Although more than half of his force has been lost, his wisdom has not disappeared.
‘First of all, even if it’s a little dangerous… … .’
It was at that moment when Man Geum Dae Bu, unable to resist temptation, was about to stretch out his legs.
‘for a moment.’
His feet stopped in mid-air.
‘Why is Jang Il-so doing this?’
Jang Il-so is now shaking the encirclement. He is even using his own life as bait.
Why? When that volcano guy wakes up, he will rely on him to break through the siege? Was Jang Il-so really someone who would rely on others and entrust his life to them in this situation?
“Ha… … . Haha.”
The rich man laughed as if he found it ridiculous.
I think I know. Why Jang Il-so did such things.
He looked at Jang Il-so, who was walking on the tightrope of death, with eyes that were extremely cold.
“The purpose… was me from the beginning. Jang Il-so.”
Man Geum Daebu is the one who hates it the most when plans don’t go as planned. Jang Il So probably expected that Man Geum Daebu would step in himself if things started to go wrong.
The clear crack that Jang Il-so created was not originally a means to escape the encirclement. The crack itself was bait to attract Man Geum Dae-bu.
It’s funny.
If Man-Geum-Dae-Bu had not lost one of his arms, he would have thrown himself into the crack without hesitation like he did now. However, because he had lost confidence in his own strength, he was able to think again.
Ironically, it was Danzagang who saved his life at that moment. It was the arm of the great master that Danzagang cut off that saved his life.
“… … That was a good move, Jang Il-so.”
The great lord’s eyes quickly regained their composure.
The fact that he can sell this kind of trap even in such a situation is one of Jang Il-so’s great aspects, but this also means that Jang Il-so has no other way than to use his own life as bait.
‘I won, Jang Il-so.’
A cool smile appeared on Man Geum Dae Bu’s lips.
“Weichung.”
“yes.”
“Deploy all remaining escorts.”
“Your Majesty?”
“It’s okay. It’s just a tantrum at best.”
Man-geum-dae-bu grabbed the sword on his waist. The hesitation he had shown just a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.
“Even if that guy finishes his luck, it’s the same. If you don’t give him a chance, I can kill them all. Deploy!”
“……yes!”
Under Wei Zhong’s instructions, even the guards who had been guarding around Man Geum Dae Bu all jumped into the front line.
And the effects were immediate.
Paaaaat!
The best of the Black Demons, who had rushed in first, pushed back the disciples of the Volcano who were holding out with difficulty, and attacked the rampaging Hong Gyeon as if they were going to eat him.
It was a moment when the wavering battle lines suddenly regained their color.
“Those damn bastards.”
The wealthy man shook his head.
I don’t know who went first. But it’s clear that they were after someone like Im So-byeong or Jang Il-so. Those guys who couldn’t have predicted that something like this would happen, as soon as the situation arose, they responded to each other as if they had planned it in advance and developed strategies.
If Man Geum Dae Bu had been a little less courageous, Jang Il So’s last move would have pierced Man Geum Dae Bu’s neck.
But Man-geum-dae-bu no longer cared about what Jang Il-so’s one move was. Even if he didn’t know what that desperate move was, it was best for it to remain an eternal mystery along with Jang Il-so’s death.
“You keep me on my toes until the very end.”
In any case, Man-geum-dae-bu won this fight. Even if it wasn’t due to his full ability but rather a gift from Dan-ja-gang, isn’t it the nature of martial arts that luck is also a skill?
“Huh!”
“Hey, these guys!”
The disciples of the volcano who had been fighting began to fall back little by little.
Black Ghost, who had regained his composure, did not rush and slowly pushed them forward.
The rampaging red dog began to spray blood everywhere.
The smile of the Great General grew deeper as he watched the battle lines begin to stabilize completely. Now, all that was left was to watch those who were dying in an ugly manner.
“In the end, he who laughs last wins. Isn’t that right, Jang Il-so?”
At this moment, what Man Geum Dae Bu was most curious about was Jang Il So’s expression. Since his last gamble, in which he risked his life, had ended in failure, what kind of expression would Jang Il So have?
but…….
At that moment, Man Geum Dae Bu saw it.
Even though he was surrounded by black ghosts who were choking him at any moment, Jang Il-so’s gaze was focused solely on Man-geum-dae-bu. The… …eerie smile he wore.
“what……?”
In that moment, goosebumps appeared all over Man Geum Dae Bu’s body and he looked around without realizing it. However, no matter how much he looked around, there was nothing that could be a threat.
‘Have you gone crazy?’
Man Geum-dae-bu, who was looking at Jang Il-so with questioning eyes, gritted his teeth.
“Weichung!”
“yes!”
“Go and cut off Jang Il-so’s head!”
“… … Are you talking about Jang Il-so?”
“Okay! Finish it with your own hands!”
“Oh, my lord.”
“hmm?”
“Is there really a need for that?”
Man-geum-dae-bu, who had been watching the front, frowned for a moment.
In this situation, what kind of complacent talk are you talking about…?
Shudder.
At that moment, Man-geum-dae-bu flinched so hard that his shoulders shook.
“you?”
I felt something strange and instinctively turned my head. No, I tried to turn it.
Quaddududuk!
Before that, a terrible pain surged into my side. It was like a cold knife piercing my flesh and tearing my lungs.
“Ugh… … .”
Man Geum Dae Bu began to tremble like an aspen tree in pain that made him feel as if he was suffocating and his mind was going blank.
What happened? What the… … .
I finally saw Wei Chong, who was shaking and turning his head with difficulty. He was smiling coldly while holding his hand to his side.
“you…….”
The first thing that came to mind was the word ‘betrayal’. But the thought disappeared as quickly as it had occurred to him. If Wi-chung had been a betrayer, would Man-geum-dae-bu have kept him around?
“You… … are not a traitor… … .”
A person who can transform into his appearance so perfectly that even the Great King would not suspect him, even though he is not a traitor.
There is only one such being in the world.
“A thousand faces… … .”
Black blood flowed out of Man-geum-dae-bu’s mouth.
“A thousand faces… a thousand… four… … .”
Wei Zhong. No, the head of the Haomen clan, the Cheonmyeon Detective, answered.
“It’s been a while, Master Man-geum.”
It was a voice full of laughter.
