Chapter 300 – Everyone Has a Plan (7)

“The art of Yeokcheon will unfold. It has the power to sustain thousands of people.”

Mingwoljinin lifted his body lightly, as if he was afraid.

It’s hard to sympathize with him here. It’s because he doesn’t even know how strong it is.

Mingwoljinin, who saw my eyes full of nonsense, thought for a moment and spoke.

“It means that it has exceeded the level of frequency. In the first place, the frequency cannot handle such a large-scale art. … And I’m ashamed to say this, but the frequency considers himself the best monk in Jungwon.”

“Ah.”

Mingwoljinin’s martial arts have reached the level of Hwagyeong, and his knowledge of alcohol is even deeper.

But if such a Mingwoljinin is a person who handles art that he cannot even guess….

Hyunkyung.

Although there may be differences between martial arts and alcohol, the opponent is a monster who has reached the limit of human beings like Hong Yeon-hwa.

“… Where did that guy suddenly come from?”

Pang So-so muttered as if he vaguely understood, but was surprised.

But this case is a little different.

“It’s the opposite. We intervened in his plan….”

Judging from what he demanded of Hong Yeon-hwa, it is clear that he was aiming for Hong Yeon-hwa from the beginning. It could have been a long time ago.

The problem is that one day Hong Yeon-hwa suddenly flew away to our world.

We appeared with Hong Yeon-hwa in front of the guy who was looking at us like that.

Of course, our bodies were exhausted,

What is Hong Yeon-hwa’s world doing?

Is there a Hyunkyung-level master who may not exist in a generation?

And recently, he has risen to the level of Hyunkyung with a spell that barely maintains his lineage?

And he’s going to use the Yeokcheon’s art, which replaces people with people, with that ability?

“I’m going crazy.”

A sigh pulled from deep inside the lungs. And the following short silence.

Everyone is so surprised that they can’t find anything to say.

This seems to be the same for Hong Yeon-hwa, and her feet, which were running without stopping, suddenly stopped.

… Huh? Hong Yeon-hwa shouldn’t stop?

“Yeonhwa?”

Calling her name with the meaning of “Why aren’t you going?”, Hong Yeon-hwa’s voice, which seemed embarrassed, came back.

“It’s a big deal.”

“Why?”

“Although I went back the same way I came….”

In front of Hong Yeon-hwa, there was a rough, circular ground that was dug out like a place where she had decided to escape.

Yeah. Everyone has a plan.

Not us, but the opponent.

Chapter 300 – Everyone Has a Plan (7)

The more we kill the Togui, the more we play into the enemy’s hands.

So instead of breaking the Togui, Hong Yeon-hwa surrounded us with Cheonmajeolim to prevent us from approaching.

It wasn’t that difficult.

The giant demon created by Cheonmajeolim simply followed Hong Yeon-hwa’s actions.

If Hong Yeon-hwa just sat down near us, it naturally became a shape that surrounded us.

Well, some Togui attacked towards Hong Yeon-hwa’s strong energy and were shattered by the rebound, but…

Still, this is the best way to create a safe zone without breaking the Togui as much as possible.

A moment of relaxation created like that.

Mingwoljinin dug the ground at the place where we first fought, threw talismans and objects around, and then nodded with a confident expression.

“It’s a Jinbeop.”

“As expected.”

“Most of the blood achieved its purpose and returned to where it came from… but some were left to unfold the Jinbeop.”

Is it frustrating? Hong Yeon-hwa let out a sigh.

“What’s the range?”

“It’s probably a giant Jinbeop that covers the entire Taesan area. There was a time when Mosanpa installed a Jinbeop throughout Mosan, so I’m sure.”

“Huh….”

As Hong Yeon-hwa sighed again, I suddenly had a question.

“Yeonhwa? Can’t you break it with your strength like usual?”

“I’ve tried. But I don’t know where to hit.”

“Huh… Usually, if you hit it in the air, it breaks, right?”

“If it’s a mediocre Jinbeop, that’s right. After all, isn’t Jinbeop artificially reversing the flow of surrounding energy?”

“That’s right. So if you push the flow of energy with a stronger force, you can push it away, right?”

“Right. But think about it, my friend. Even if you hit it with the same force, there are places that hurt more and places that hurt less. It’s the same in this case.”

Hong Yeon-hwa, with a complicated expression, lightly punched the air and continued.

“It’s a giant Jinbeop that covers the entire Taesan. The guy who uses this probably can’t maintain it with his own power.”

“He prepared it in advance and said he’s using his blood to maintain it.”

“That’s right. So even if you’re a master, you can’t just push it with force. You have to aim for the exact weakness… but…”

“But?”

“It changes its flow like it’s alive. So I don’t know where and how to push it.”

“Well… it’s not just anyone who couldn’t notice the Jinbeop until you returned to your original position, Yeonhwa. It’s not that simple.”

“Ugh….”

Hong Yeon-hwa muttered with a frustrated expression, biting her lips.

Chapter 300 – Everyone Has a Plan (7)

What is the split? Breaking the Jinbeop isn’t about strength in the first place. It’s just that Hong Yeon-hwa was abnormal until now.

Above all, didn’t Mingwoljinin say it at the beginning? Blood increases the efficiency of talismans.

It was because the Jinbeop that a person of equal ability unfolded became stronger than usual.

It’s no wonder that Hong Yeon-hwa can’t do anything.

In the end, the only one we can trust in this situation is the Jinbeop expert, Mingwoljinin.

Mingwoljinin, who received our attention, let out a deep sigh.

“I found a way to release it. I also know why Cheonmajeolim couldn’t break it recklessly.”

“It’s urgent.”

Of course.

According to the explanation of Mingwoljinin, who continued, there are several Shengmen生門 in this Jinbeop surrounding us.

The problem is that it’s not always Shengmen, but it alternates between Shengmen and Shimun死門 at regular intervals.

Moreover, the order is also random. That’s why Hong Yeon-hwa can’t figure out where and how to hit.

In the end, to get out of here, we have to wander through the mountains for a long time and find a way to break the device that maintains the Jinbeop.

“I never thought that basic Palmun-dungab could be twisted like this….”

Mingwoljinin, who was either admiring or lamenting for a moment, shook his head and spoke again.

“I found a way to get out, but the problem is that the range of the Jinbeop covers the entire Taesan. It doesn’t go outside, but it’s relatively free to move inside… We have to find dozens of devices the size of a fist in this vast Taesan.”

“It might be faster to feel around for Shengmen and escape outside.”

“That’s right. Whichever side you choose, the Togui will gradually break in our hands like now, so ultimately, the other side will achieve their goal.”

“If it was before enough Togui were killed to activate the Jinbeop, it might have been different, but now… there’s practically no choice.”

Listening to the conversation between me and Mingwoljinin, Hong Yeon-hwa closed her eyes for a moment, then opened her pink eyes.

“So… if we just wait or try to run away, we’ll just play into the enemy’s plan. If we don’t like that, we have to go into the mouth of the guy who has already prepared everything.”

“…That’s right.”

At the gloomy voice of Mingwoljinin, the atmosphere of the others also sank for a moment.

Hong Yeon-hwa nodded with a smirk.

“In the end, nothing changes.”

“Huh?”

Looking at Hong Yeon-hwa with such a positive tone, I stared at her blankly.

Then, Hong Yeon-hwa sat down with a scrunched-up face, shaking her head.

“Think about it. Wasn’t the original plan to strike from afar before the enemy could do anything sneaky?”

“That’s…true?”

“If they’re preparing an incredible technique, it means that the technique isn’t complete yet! So we just have to strike before they do anything.”

“….”

The difference between inside and outside may exist, but the basic idea is the same.

She’s too positive. But she probably didn’t say that because she’s optimistic about the current situation.

She probably said it to reassure us or herself.

Maybe it’s Hong Yeon-hwa’s consideration that’s being conveyed.

The atmosphere of the powerful members of the religion who were previously tense and ready to fight to the death has eased a bit.

“Perhaps she’s busy fighting the crazy guy who claims to be her parent. However, as Mingwoljinin said, the guy hasn’t even brought out his real strong Togui yet. He’s probably doing it to put pressure on Hong Yeon-hwa.”

I don’t know if Hong Yeon-hwa realizes that she’s in an altered state right now.

But this guy has prepared so thoroughly. It wouldn’t be surprising if there were one or two more ways to subdue Hong Yeon-hwa.

If their abilities are equal, they can’t win one-on-one, even if their fields are different.

But what if they throw in a few Chojuljeong or Hwagyeong-level Togui here?

The balance will tip in an instant.

“That’s…yes. That’s right.”

They all agree, nodding their heads in unison. They seem to have thought it through.

Hong Yeon-hwa smiled faintly at their reaction.

“So, let me fight one-on-one with the others without any interference. I’m confident I can win that way.”

“….”

The powerful members stared at her with wide eyes and open mouths, dumbfounded. Hong Yeon-hwa urged them on in a somewhat playful tone.

“What do you think? Can you do it?”

“….”

A light atmosphere that doesn’t suit this situation. But the meaning behind it was clear.

They didn’t need to respect her wishes like they did when they brought them here, but Hong Yeon-hwa really needs their help now.

There’s no way the powerful members wouldn’t notice this.

The atmosphere, which had momentarily eased, became even heavier than before.

Even more so than the first time.

No one asked them to do it, but the powerful members all kneeled on one knee and bowed before Hong Yeon-hwa, as if they were willing to die right here.

They opened their mouths, exuding a fierce determination to die right here, beyond just being prepared to die.

“Cheonmajeolim Manmaangbok. Everything will be done according to the will of Cheonmajeolim.”

“Cheonmajeolim Manmaangbok!!!”

As soon as Ma-noe spoke, a loud roar of cheers erupted.

Hong Yeon-hwa looked at me for a moment and then sent me a message.

“I might really risk my life if I keep going like this! Please do something!”

She looked at me with pleading eyes, and I raised my sword, laughing.

“Cheonmajeolim Manmaangbok!”

“Even you…! I’ll remember this!”

Hong Yeon-hwa pouted, her cheeks puffing up.

Yeah, we’ll see about that later.

We’ll somehow win this time too.
