Chapter 210 – Chapter 42 (5)
“What the hell is this!?”
The footnotes of the Akjeon asked the surroundings with an expression of unsure of the reason for the sudden situation.
However, it was not known that Jincheon’s runaway and some commanders affected by the runaway attacked the main base of Heuksa-Ryeon on the grounds that it was possible to report on the preemptive action when an emergency or a golden opportunity was obtained to make a contribution.
Since Jincheon charged into the corner of the enemy, who was easy to attack, Akjeon, who was commanding from the center, was frustrated because he had no way to know why there was a commotion in the rear, which could be called Heuksa-ryeon’s main base, or why the flames were soaring.
Although he is a Murim person, since he was in charge of thousands of samurai, he had to first consider whether or not it was a trap or not, even if he did not learn tactics and strategies.
When I went to the front line, even the warriors of Heuksaren were perplexed because they did not know what the situation was, but this is very plausible.
When both sides were confused about what to do, Heuksa-ryun, who received some information first, began to move.
“The Black Death is withdrawing from all fronts!”
“What should I do?”
Akjeon Footnote, who is equivalent to the person in charge of this place, gave an ordinary order.
“Everyone pushes the front line as far as the enemy retreats! Do not pursue more than necessary! And release people to find out what the hell is going on behind the enemy!”
“Honorable name!”
At the sight of Heuksa-ryun retreating so urgently, the battle that pushed the front line up.
Since it is an empty field where it is impossible to hide and move around this area, surprise attacks or detour maneuvers are impossible.
At that time, an aide-de-camp level soldier hurriedly ran in and opened his mouth to the footnotes and the leaders.
“Report! Allies deployed in the right corner are said to have raided the enemy’s base!”
“What!? Tell me in detail!”
“According to the report, a female high school student whom he had never seen before slaughtered Im Jung-gu, one of the ten warriors, and after that, a unit rushed in, broke the enemy formation, and attacked the enemy’s main base!”
“The Chain Reaper?”
“Is there such a high school girl on our side?”
It’s not that there aren’t female warriors in the northern palace, but there’s no way that you don’t know the name of a high school girl enough to kill Lim Jung-gu, the messenger of marriage.
Then another adjutant came running and reported.
“Report!”
“I heard about the female high priest who killed the Reaper of Enchantment and a unit rushing in!”
“Uh…The commander of that unit is a recently hired outsider!”
When Akjeon, who did not want to hear the same report over and over again, intercepted the adjutant, he cleared his head for a while and reported the new information.
“Recently hired… I can’t believe…!?”
An atmosphere of disbelief as well as astonishment lingered on the faces of Akjeon and the top officials who remembered the appearance of Jincheon who was grinning at him.
How angry everyone was at Jincheon’s arrogant attitude.
They were stunned by the unexpected report, who were making plans to pamper them if their skills weren’t as good as their mouths.
For reference, even if there is a reason for the preliminary action candidate report, the reason the report was delayed this far was because of the reporting system, which was raised step by step by reporting to the immediate supervisor.
Reporting to his immediate superior, and then reporting to his immediate superior, and going up one level in this way, information delivery was delayed compared to Heuksa-ryun.
It was common and natural to do so until now, and no matter how urgent it was, it was considered disrespectful to report beyond one’s immediate superior, unless it was because of death or unconsciousness.
In particular, since they are proud Moorim people, these parts are rooted like a kind of rule.
If Jincheon had seen this, he would have cursed in his face, saying, ‘In a place where flexibility is needed as much as war, all brats should be killed.’
Anyway, the leaders of the Northern Heavenly Palace were at a loss as to whether this really made sense.
‘That guy?’
‘It’s only been two days since I came?’
However, shocking information continued to be delivered to them.
“Ten girls, three leaves, So Ji-baek was killed by an unknown high school girl!”
“Other Black Deaths are retreating in earnest!”
When the news came that even So Ji-baek, a master of the martial arts, had died, the leaders were shocked as if their heads were beaten in succession.
“This… Advance first! Push to the enemy base! I’ll see and decide!”
Akjeon, whose head was complicated, made the mistake of checking with his own eyes and moving rather than tracking the retreating enemy.
Rather, if you order a pursuit at that time, it is because you can inflict a little damage on the enemy.
In general wars between nations, people can be forcibly recruited to fill the numbers, but wars between Murim people cannot use such a method.
In other words, if you are damaged, there is no way to fix it right away.
However, what is very incomprehensible is that who could have predicted that Jincheon, who is a young guy less than half his age and is worn by women, would have such power.
While chasing after Heuksaryon who retreated like that, the leaders of the northern palace headed for the burning Heuksaryon’s headquarters.
“Hey~ Hisashiburi~”
When the leaders of the northern palace arrived at Heuksaryeon’s headquarters, what they saw was the burning barracks and the Jincheon party waiting for them while sitting on piles of corpses.
“I didn’t expect you to be lazy like this, but… Well, it doesn’t matter. Thanks to you, I warmed up properly.”
“…”
“…”
To say that Heuksa-ryeon’s main base was completely devastated is to say, ‘I warmed up properly’.
Doesn’t that mean that if he had put his mind to it, he could have gone further than this?
The leaders of the Northern Heavenly Palace were agonizing over how to accept this shocking situation, but Jincheon showed them off their achievements rather than giving them time to think.
“Hey, this guy is nicknamed the Three Maples. Check to see if it’s him. I’ve never seen him, so I didn’t know.”
Then, he threw the head he had placed on his corpse at Akjeon.
“Omg…!”
Akjeon, who reflexively accepted it, was shocked to see that it was So Jibaek’s face, which was stained with pain and fear.
To be honest, I couldn’t believe the information that he was killed by an unknown female high school student.
Even he is in a position to retreat if he meets So Ji-baek,
“Looking at the reaction, he seems like a pretty strong guy. Well done. What should I do as a reward?”
“That… Please stroke my hair…”
“Like this?”
“Lol…”
It became even more difficult to believe that a young woman, like a pet who was delighted by the owner’s touch, had killed So Ji-baek.
In addition, the corpses Jincheon sat on were all famous in Heuksaryeon.
Unlike other warriors of Heuksaryeon, Jincheon killed those who had their own skills and built them into one place.
Of course, to show off their strength.
“By the way, incompetence is a disease at this level. I can’t believe this side did it this far, but I can’t even take it and eat it.
“What…!”
“You’re so arrogant that you’re lucky enough to hit the ball!”
“I admit your breakthrough power, but you guys accidentally stabbed the cracks we created while fighting!”
When Jincheon openly laughed at Akjeon and the top leaders, they made all sorts of excuses to discredit Jincheon’s achievements.
“What? I can’t hear it because it’s the nonsense of incompetent commanders~?”
However, Jincheon, who was not broad-minded enough to accept their disparagement, openly laughed at him.
“If it were me, I would have ordered a chase right now. But what are you guys doing right now? Are you grinding your teeth to cut off my achievements somehow?”
The leaders tried to give an order with regret only then, but the warriors of Heuksa-Ryeon had already spread enough distance.
In this situation, if you issue an unreasonable pursuit order, the enemy may counterattack.
“My martial arts skills are weaker than those of a younger guy, my judgment is worse, I miss opportunities to make achievements because I’m blinded by envy, ah~ I don’t want to be like that even when I get older~”
“Kuh… Ugh…!”
Akjeon was furious at Jincheon’s insult.
A person who does the same kind of work as you is demonstrating overwhelming talent than you.
Paying respect to such geniuses and using them as stimulants to train themselves is a story that can only be found in morality textbooks.
In general, the reaction of people who see genius in what they want to do is divided into half.
Resignation.
Because he is a genius, he knows that he cannot win and gives up.
Jealousy.
To have envy and negative thoughts toward people who casually display areas they cannot reach in the name of talent.
The bad fight was the obvious latter.
‘Why is that guy… ! I trained and trained for a long time without rest! Why… Why is such a young guy… !’
In particular, since it is a Murim that values strength, there are even those who commit murder with the idea that if a young Murim person shows talent, even if they have no hostile relationship with them, they will trample on the cotyledon.
Right now, in Akjeon’s head, he was imagining how Jincheon was lucky enough to get a chance, or how he became strong without hardships thanks to his natural talent.
This situation led to a resentment towards the sky.
‘Why give talent to a guy like that rather than someone who works hard like me!’
At first, when he was insulted by the opponent, whom he thought was an immature kid who ran amok without knowing it, Akjeon, who gained a sense of qualifications and jealousy for his overwhelming talent, sat on top of the corpse and glared at Jincheon looking down at him with an angry expression.

On the other hand, there was a group of people who could not approach the battlefield, which was an empty field, and looked at the battlefield from a distance through the eyesight.
“…Unbelievable…”
They were the people of Salmun, who were newly selected after hearing the report that the most elite shooters, including Elder Lee, had failed.
In the salmun, which confirmed that Jincheon’s party was strong in martial arts, they formed killers who were excellent in dealing with stealth and poison to assassinate or poison while sleeping, rather than a surprise attack.
They heard the news that Jincheon had been recruited into Bukcheongung and followed him, but since it was an empty battle area, they were looking at the situation in a small forest on a hill far away from there.
In the situation of a special battlefield where they only had to focus on the front, they wanted to infiltrate the rear and secretly assassinate or poison them, so they set up an infiltration route and looked at the situation.
“The target’s skills exceed our imagination.”
“If you’re an expert at that level, if you approached recklessly…”
The killers expected that masters with that level of skill would have excellent stamina, and recognized that they had to be extremely careful in approaching.
‘I shouldn’t have accepted this request.’
Although the level of martial arts is lower than that of Elder Lee, Elder Il, who can be said to be the best except for the gatekeeper of Salmun, thought that he should not have accepted this request from the beginning.
No, even if I received it, I couldn’t get it at this price.
You have to receive 5 times more than the current commission to be able to pay for it.
‘Hmm?’
An interesting figure was caught in the eyes of Elder Il, who suppressed his irritation and dissatisfaction by asking why masters of such skill did not gain fame earlier.
It was Jincheon, who piled up the corpses and sat on them, and the command of the North Heaven Palace, which appeared belatedly.
It was so far away that I could barely see the shape of the face, so I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but what was clear was that Akjeon and other leaders were angry.
Clearly, the relationship between the two sides did not look very friendly.
Seeing this, Iljangro came to think that if they did well, they could easily achieve their goals.
* *
In the fight between Bukcheongung and Heuksaryeon, Bukcheongung took the victory with only Jincheon’s presence.
Akjeon and other leaders of the Bukcheongung made a mistake and succeeded in safely retreating the warriors without being pursued, but the important thing is that they were pushed back in the fight for momentum.
It was also known that he was not pushed by the forces of the Northern Palace, but was pushed by the Jincheon party, which Heuksaryeon did not recruit.
The masters of Heuksaryeon who learned this fact should have recruited them a long time ago, and now they say things like that, and there was a fuss about who did a good job and you didn’t do it.
Anyway, the urgent thing right now is to block the Northern Heavenly Palace, and thanks to the Northern Heavenly Palace not pursuing it, it was enough to overturn it with a single victory.
Former Baekhyung thought that if he won once, he could regain his lost momentum, so he gathered the surviving eight of the Ten Girls in one place and added two new Ten Girls.
And he came up with a plan to gather all the 10 girls into one point and deal with Jincheon’s group.
Although Jincheon and his party certainly had the skills, many of them attacked and directly or indirectly applied pressure, so it was thought that Lim Jung-gu and Sam-yeop, who were the messengers of marriage, had also defeated So Ji-baek.
Lim Jung-gu, the highest ranking member of the Supreme Court, heard that So Ji-baek, a Samyeopdo, who was difficult to deal with even a warrior of the same Hwagyeong, died after being chased by a woman, but thought that it was defeated by a pincer attack by many.
This was not because of their intolerance, but because of the general perception.
Who would believe the rumor that So Ji-baek was killed by a young woman whose name he did not know.
At Heuksaryeon, who heard the information from the spy that they were not very close to the leaders of the Northern Heavenly Palace, they started fighting again, making it possible for the Ten Girls to focus on attacking only Jincheon’s party.
However, this time, in front of everyone, without any excuses, Jincheon and his party shocked the world by annihilating the Ten Giants.
“Shit!”
Quaang! Kwajik!
Jeon Baek-hyung, who had discussed all kinds of things for the countermeasure meeting today, returned to his room and nervously started smashing things in the room.
“Damn! Damn damn damn! What the hell are those bitches! Why are they suddenly popping up and fucking! Why! Why!!”
He couldn’t understand the situation at all.
If you had such strong power, shouldn’t you have made your reputation a long time ago!
Why did they cause trouble without fame and become hostile to them!
Jeon Baek-hyeong was jealous of the Jincheon party, who had excellent skills at a young age, and even asked the salesman, but he was leaving all these problems to the Jincheon party.
“On top of that, you stupid bastards! What’s the point!
In addition, he entrusted the request to Salmun, but he burst into anger by cursing even Salmun at the sight of them still alive and well.
“Damn! Damn! Fuck!”
Kwachang! Wow Jangchang!
Jeon Baek-hyung, who spat out curse words and vented his anger with his belongings, sighed and puffed out his breath as if his anger had eased a little after he smashed most of them.
“May I come in?”
“…Come in.”
At that time, Jeon Baek-hyung, who heard the voice of a middle-aged man who was serving as a military man who proposed an alliance called Heuksa-ryun to him, told him to come in, killing his anger.
Not yet broken enough to ask why he made him do this to him, he sat on the bed and waited for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man who came inside approached Jeon Baek-hyung without raising an eyebrow even after looking at the messy room.
“Things look pretty bad.”
“Damn it. I never imagined those bitches could be this strong.”
Jeon Baek-hyeong sighed, saying that he should have recruited them.
“Certainly, but they seem to have made quite a few enemies here and there.”
“Enemy?”
“Yes. Someone I know approached me. Someone I know has a grudge against them. I’ll lend you some warriors, so help me kill them.”
“Okay. It’s a situation where even one warrior is regrettable, but it’s good.”
Whatever the reason, the Jeon Baek-hyung decided to speak moderately with the thought that a warrior had appeared to help them.
“Oh, that’s fine. They’re already here.”
“Huh?”
Shh shh shh!
At that moment, behind the monk, six or seven men in black clothes suddenly appeared as if they were rising from the ground.
“Heh heh!?”
It was so close, there were so many of them, and no one noticed?
“And there are more warriors under their command. Their only goal is to kill a human called Jincheon.”
Jeon Baek-hyeong was perplexed at the sight of talented people who he couldn’t even look down on.
‘It’s a creepy, frighteningly sharp energy. What is the identity? People like this should be known by name, right?’
In addition to their suspicions, the middle-aged man who was playing a military role also had doubts, but the important thing was that he had to overcome this crisis right now.
Contrary to his mind, the commander of the warriors introduced by the middle-aged man did not like being mobilized for this kind of work.
‘Tsk. Hong Jin-dae, to think I have to do this because of him.’
It doesn’t matter if it’s an order issued by Pacheonhoe for the future of the meeting.
However, this time, Hong Seol-rin was dispatched because Hong Jin-dae, blinded by jealousy, went on a rampage to kill Jin-cheon in exchange for cooperation, just because Hong Seol-rin smiled like a woman in a letter sent by Jin-cheon.
The contact with Pacheonhoe, which was thought to have disappeared for a year, led to an unexpected incident.
