Chapter 174
Chapter 174
The Blue King Flag Master has a dumbfounded face.
He doesn't seem to understand what happened, and he doesn't even seem to recognize the fact that he has just been cut by a sword.
The moment he is about to be split in half, I feel a sense of exhaustion.
Because I had poured out all my strength in one moment.
If we only count the move just now, it is a level of power that is several stages higher than my current martial arts.
"Th-The Blue King Flag Master!"
"It's an enemy!"
"There's only one of them. Get him!"
The Demonic Cult members began to cause a commotion.
Unlike the guys I had fought until now, it seems there are quite a few strong guys mixed in, and they rush at me in an instant.
Especially, there is one who is approaching in an instant at the fastest speed from the very front.
Judging by the black flag on his back, that guy is probably the Black King Flag Master.
'Legs, move. Please.'
My body doesn't move properly because I poured out too much strength at once.
The Black King Flag Master has now come right in front of me and is swinging his sword.
In a normal situation, I would never have made this choice.
Because it is a one-on-many fight, and even if I am a master, it is a foolish act to rush into the enemy camp recklessly.
No matter how much of a master you are, if you are stabbed by a blind sword, you will get hurt, bleed, and if you are unlucky, you may die.
In a situation like this, I would have fought in a way that reduces the number of enemies one by one, as if teasing them.
But why did I make this choice now? Of course, it is not a mistake.
The qi wave that exploded right in front of my face creates a strong wind and messes up my hair.
Because Yu Cheongja, who had come up to me in an instant, had properly blocked the Black King Flag Master's sword.
That's right.
I am no longer alone.
If I do my part well, I have a comrade who will handle the rest with me.
"Unhwi! Fall back, recover, and join us. Since you killed the Blue King Flag Master in one blow, the operation will proceed as planned."
"Yes!"
At Yu Cheongja's shout, I gathered all my strength and moved my legs to get back.
Originally, our plan was for me to take the Blue King Flag Master, Yu Cheongja to take the Black King Flag Master, and my master to take the rest of the martial artists, but since the Blue King Flag Master is already dead, it means I have done all my work.
"Well done, Hwi-ya."
At that time, my master brushed past me like the wind, left a short word, and then rushed towards the enemies.
And then followed a one-sided massacre.
Not just me, but my master has also developed dazzlingly over the past few months.
My master, who had seriously accepted the role of the sect leader's disciple, is said to have been taught various martial arts by the sect leader.
He hasn't taught me those martial arts yet, because if he taught me clumsily in a situation where he himself has not yet fully mastered them, there is a high probability that something will go wrong.
Every time he swings his sword, one person falls.
At least their limbs are cut off.
It may be strange to think this way while watching people die and blood fountains gushing like this... but the way my master fights was very beautiful.
Originally, my fighting style was to minimize tricks and fight as practically as possible, but my master went one step further and added tricks on top of practicality.
While making the most of the splendid sword arts and forms of the Wudang Sect, there is not a single unnecessary movement.
'To think that such a person was fated to die in vain in a place like this.'
Although there may be various reasons why I opened my eyes in the Wudang Sect, wasn't one of the most important reasons to save my master?
Thanks to that, Senior Uncle Hyeon Cheong is having a bit of a hard time, but it's enough if we rescue him safely.
"Ugh."
I let out a groan that came out on its own and tried to move my body.
Fortunately, my energy has recovered a lot in that short time.
While vowing to myself to put more effort into my heart method training in the future, I slowly circulated my energy throughout my body.
Although the energy is being loaded, it is still at a weak level.
But this much internal energy is enough.
In my previous life, did I wander around the martial world alone because I had an overflowing amount of internal energy?
I ran past the Black King Flag Master and Yu Cheongja, who were fiercely exchanging swords, and ran to my master's side.
It wasn't that I was closer to my master than Yu Cheongja and was trying to help my master.
The Black King Flag Master seemed to be stronger than the White King Flag Master or the Blue King Flag Master I had faced, but Yu Cheongja was facing him on completely equal terms.
Because I thought it would be better for the three of us to attack together after I helped my master clean up the dregs first, rather than clumsily stepping in and breaking the flow.
As soon as I stood next to my master, I exchanged swords with a few of the closest Demonic Cult members.
Even though it was a sword that could not properly load energy, they had to use all their strength to block my sword.
The difference in level was stark.
I kicked off the ground and rushed at them.
Although they swung their swords reflexively, I had no intention of facing those swords.
I suddenly bent my waist down.
The Demonic Cult members probably felt as if I had suddenly disappeared into the ground.
And at the same time, I swung my sword at their ankles.
The Demonic Cult members, without even being able to resist properly, had their ankles cut and rolled on the ground.
At that time, two of the Demonic Cult members who had been coveting my master's back jumped towards me.
I didn't stop and raised my body and swung my sword upwards. My side was exposed, but I didn't care.
Because the moment they moved, I felt my master also performing a lightness skill towards me.
Although the sound only rang once, the collision occurred in two places.
Because my sword and my master's sword had simultaneously struck the swords of different Demonic Cult members.
Even though we had never practiced matching our moves, it was a perfect breath.
My master, in that breath, did not stop his sword, but thrust his sword into the opening created by being pushed back.
It seemed to be the location of the ribs, but my master's sword broke even the bones and dug inside, and came out after rummaging through his stomach.
Thanks to my master, a situation was created where I could also focus only on the opponent in front of me.
I faced the enemies not with the martial arts of the Wudang Sect, but with the Un Family Sword Art.
It's not that a bad habit came out again.
The only advantage of the Un Family Sword Art is that it consumes almost no energy.
It was the best choice for me, who had little internal energy left after pouring it out in a big fight.
Finally, I cut a long gash across the chest of the last remaining Demonic Cult member.
The Demonic Cult members were stubborn.
Not a single one of them uttered a last word until the very end.
When I glanced at my master's side, my master had also defeated all the Demonic Cult members and our eyes met.
Now there is only one left.
The Black King Flag Master, who is now slowly fighting with Yu Cheongja.
"Kill him? Or let him live?"
"Let's let him live for now, and if it's not possible, let's kill him."
"Yes."
After a short conversation, we immediately rushed at the Black King Flag Master.
Although he had been on equal terms with Yu Cheongja in a one-on-one fight, as we suddenly joined in, the Black King Flag Master began to shake greatly.
But he also seemed to have learned a considerable martial art, and he held up quite well against the three of us.
I had the thought that if the one I had rushed at first was the Black King Flag Master, not the Blue King Flag Master, I probably would not have been able to achieve a single blow, two cuts.
If that had been the case, I would not have been able to take the initiative properly, and I would not have been able to win as smoothly as now.
I had the thought that a choice of a moment had changed many things.
"You bastards. Do you know who I am and are you doing this?!"
When we were overwhelming him, the mouth of the Black King Flag Master, which had been firmly closed until now, finally opened.
The fact that his mouth suddenly opened means he is very anxious.
It seemed he was having a hard time facing us now.
"Who are you? A dog of the Demonic Cult."
"I! Am a disciple of the Cult Leader. I am the Black King Flag Master. If you kill me, the Cult Leader's wrath will be upon you!"
"What disciple. At best, you're just a disciple candidate."
"What...?!"
My words blocked his words.
I don't know if he was shocked because he really thought he was a disciple of the Cult Leader, or if he was surprised that we knew the situation more accurately than he thought, but at the same time as his surprise, he hesitated for a very short moment, and it was not my master and Yu Cheongja who would miss that.
My master's sword brushed past the Black King Flag Master's arm, and Yu Cheongja performed the Cloud Dragon Great Nine Forms in the air, spun around once, and then strongly kicked his chest.
The Black King Flag Master, who had received a great shock to his chest and had fallen backward, tried to get up by putting his hand on the ground, but his right hand was already on the floor, rolling around.
"Kkeu-a-a-ak!"
He only began to scream terribly after seeing his severed hand.
Yu Cheongja, regardless of whether he was screaming or not, stepped on his lightness skill again and approached the Black King Flag Master.
The moment I had the thought that his body was floating in the air.
He kicked the Black King Flag Master's head with his foot, and he was buried in the ground with his head and lost consciousness.
"Now it's quiet."
He approached the Black King Flag Master, confirmed that he was definitely unconscious, and then pressed the acupoints on his arm and tied it with a cloth to stop the bleeding.
"Didn't you hit him too hard? At this rate, he might not be able to get up again."
"Then there's nothing we can do. We know it's around here, so we have no choice but to search more thoroughly on our own."
"Alright. Let's rest for now. Didn't you also use up quite a lot of energy?"
"Then... shall we?"
Yu Cheongja walked over to a tree a little distance away, sat down, and then looked back and forth between me and my master and continued, "Anyway, your disciple... is amazing. I thought he would be strong, but I didn't know it would be to this extent. It is truly a strange and mysterious talent."
"It's not like you didn't know, so why are you being so surprised now?"
"No. In fact, until before this fight, I thought he was a martial artist below me. I only thought he was a being I had to take care of. But I just didn't want to admit it. I didn't want to admit that he would be that strong, surpassing the age gap."
"You. What are you trying to say?"
He shrugged his shoulders and answered, "It's nothing special. If this matter ends well. And if we return to Kunlun safely, I want to be of some small help to that child."
"Help?"
"Our Kunlun is outstanding in other things, but its lightness skill is particularly outstanding. The lightness skill called the Cloud Dragon Great Nine Forms is an outstanding lightness skill that even commoners who have no relationship with the martial world know."
"That's right."
"When I saw you and Unhwi fighting, I couldn't say that other things were below us. Rather, there were points where I thought they were more outstanding. But the lightness skill. If only the lightness skill is reinforced in Unhwi's fighting style, it will probably be like giving wings to a running tiger."
My master and I looked at Yu Cheongja with wide eyes.
Because I thought I had a rough idea of what he was trying to say now.
As I looked at Yu Cheongja with serious eyes, he burst out laughing and continued, "Ah! Don't misunderstand. I'm not saying I'll teach him the Cloud Dragon Great Nine Forms. However... our Kunlun's lightness skill has a few principles that are very different from the lightness skills of the Central Plains. I will ask the sect leader if I can teach Unhwi those principles. Just with that, he will have a much more outstanding lightness skill than now."
"......!"
He, leaving us who were astonished, stood up from his seat and said, "Then shall we move again? Our work is not over yet. We have to find our junior brothers."
Yu Cheongja strode over to wake up the Black King Flag Master, who had not yet woken up.
From his back, I felt a great cause that transcended sects and sects.
