#Episode 1042
Goooong.
The moment he felt the huge energy rising around the great mage, there were two words that stuck like bullets in Jin Tae-kyung’s mind, which was dyed white.
The first is wide-range magic.
and… … .
‘One sum (一殲).’
Jin Tae-kyung had an instinctive intuition.
In order to stop this crazy thing that the woman in front of me is trying to do, I, too, have to make a crazy choice.
He himself thought that he would never be able to use it again, but this time, unless it was a mortal blow with a slim chance of revival, he would not be able to stop the activation of this wide-range magic.
At the same time, he realized that he had already made a decision, and smiled bitterly inwardly.
‘Damn it.’
I didn’t want to die yet.
I wanted to live somehow, even if it meant struggling uglyly.
But there was no way.
No, there was only one way.
In order to destroy the strong defense shield surrounding the Great Mage right now and take the opponent’s life with that single blow, Jin Tae-kyung’s own life had to be burned as well.
Are you sure this strike will succeed?
does not exist.
However, there is only a possibility.
Survival and death?
It is highly likely that it is the latter.
But even so, that was enough.
This was the only option to protect the tens of thousands of allies still struggling on the battlefield and the precious people included among them.
‘okay.’
That’s enough.
A noble sacrifice, a dog’s death.
I don’t know which of the two endings he will meet, but the chaotic times were forcing Jin Tae-kyung to become a hero at this moment, and he was ready.
Maybe, a long time ago.
Wow.
In an instant, the wind stops. The air trembled.
In a time when everything seemed to have stopped, hundreds of blood vessels were awakened and each muscle of my body was clearly felt.
and… … .
There was energy flowing through the pure white spear blade.
Dark as the deep sea, flashing like lightning, burning like a flame.
The energy that finally merged into one and swelled to a greater extent than ever before, a powerful force that could even devour the life of its owner, swirled along the bent spear blade like a bowstring.
At this moment, it emits a dazzling light that is enough to color a pair of eyes hidden behind a dense cotton thread.
‘This.’
In the face of that destructive flash that could not be completely blocked even by a shield, the Grand Mage suddenly felt a sense of fear coming over him.
There is also a sense of awe for the young man in front of me who made an unbelievable choice.
‘If this continues, I will die. Definitely.’
The great mage was sure.
When that terrifying blow is completed and fired, he will disappear without a trace along with his shield.
Along with that, Jin Tae-kyung’s life will also be scattered like a heap of ashes.
But that was not the result that neither the Grand Mage nor the master she served wanted.
‘You’re lucky. You and me too.’
An anterior sac carrying an unbearable amount of weight is bound to tear. However, if you tie a knot before the weight is fully applied, the anterior sac will not tear.
In that sense, it was truly a narrow difference.
The great mage’s magic was already prepared one step ahead, and Jin Tae-gyeong’s strike was one step later.
And that slight difference, which was only a moment in time, changed the fate of both people.
‘Pour down, hell’s flames.’
Whoa!
A powerful energy explodes around the great mage in an instant.
The spread of that power began much faster than Jin Tae-kyung expected, and there was only one option left to him.
Shut up!
A spear blade that tears through space and moves forward.
At the same time, the moment when the island, which was bigger than ever before and had not yet been even half cohesive, finally made contact with the shield placed between the two people.
Goooooong.
At the same time as the deafening roar, a white flash of light colored the hill.
* * *
Amidst the tingling pain radiating from all over his body, Master Noh took a deep breath.
Phew.
The sweet-smelling breath slowly disperses.
Beyond his vision, which was stained red by the blood that flowed from the scar on his forehead, two men standing tall like iron towers were reflected in the old master’s eyes.
No, the moment I felt it was reflected, it disappeared.
Whoosh.
A porosity so fine that it gives me goosebumps penetrates my ears.
An alarm bell rang in my head, warning me of danger, and at the same time, my brain, which had made its judgment, issued an order to my body.
Avoid it.

We need to move to avoid the enemy right now.
However, the old Taoist’s body, which had already suffered quite a few injuries, was never able to move as usual.
Suddenly!
Extreme pain.
The two blades that I could not completely avoid cut into my side and shoulder, and the enormous energy contained in the steel penetrated deep into my body.
‘Sigh… … !’
The vision becomes distant for a moment.
However, the Wind Cloud Sword soon caught the staggering Shinhyeong and scattered his beloved swords. Now, a dazzling sword river rose above the only half of the sword body that remained.
bang! bang! Quang!
Three clashes that took place like lightning. And a new type of person bounced like a cannonball through a cloud of cloudy dust.
“Jangmun-in!”
It was the moment when the disciples of the Jongnam faction, who were fighting with the followers of Amcheon, screamed.
Two seals that appeared from nowhere caught the powerful flying sword of the Wind Cloud Blade.
Crash!
The footsteps barely stop after being pushed out of the field.
Coughing, the Wind Cloud Swordsman coughed up dead blood and kissed his blurry helpers.
“Executioners… … .”
“For God’s sake, don’t say anything.”
Following the great swordsman Noho, who responded in a nervous voice, the second brother Taeul Mujeonggeom opened his mouth with a heavy face.
“That’s enough. “Long sentence priest.”
That’s enough.
Although it was a short word, the Wind Cloud Sword Lord was able to immediately understand the meaning contained in those words.
But because of that, he couldn’t believe what he heard just now.
“It’s done, what on earth is that…” … .”
“I don’t have time. “The longer this situation is delayed, the greater the damage to the text will be.”
“execution!”
A cry filled with astonishment.
However, seeing the priest like that, the Taeeul Invincible Sword tightly closed his lips, and the Noho Swordsman walked slowly and gritted his teeth as he looked at the two approaching black ghosts.
“The second one is right. We have already secured the escape route, so you give orders! hurry!”
An attitude that seems to be threatening.
In this unexpected situation, the Windyun Sword Lord looked blankly at his two executioners.
“Sincerity… … Are you?”
However, Noho Swordsman and Taeeul Mujeong Sword did not answer that question.
Unable to look directly into the priest’s wide-open eyes, he could only stare at the dark ghosts in front of him with eyes filled with fear.
Because they knew it too.
How far off the mark is their argument?
And seeing those executions, the Wind Cloud Sword Army finally recognized this unbelievable reality.
“… … You meant it. “Both of you.”
What should I say about this situation?
It was a truly strange feeling.
They were brothers who had been together all their lives and studied under the same teacher, and I felt an unfamiliar sensation in them, as if I was seeing them for the first time in my life.
‘retreat. ‘It’s a retreat.’
As he pondered those two letters in his empty mind, Windwoon Sword suddenly remembered the past.
Memories from the day I first entered the Jongnam faction until now.
Even in the long past now covered in dust, the three brothers were always together.
So it was good.
They were closer to martial artists than Taoist monks, and although they sometimes caused problems with their extreme words and actions, they were executed.
On the day he was appointed as the leader of the Jongnam faction, although they were angry that they were not chosen, they eventually accepted it and followed suit.
Even when a problem arose with the Nanman Beast Palace during the Great Demon War.
Just a year ago, when they were humiliated by Jeok Cheon-gang and Jin Tae-kyung one after another due to their own mistakes.
The Wind Cloud Sword Army covered them. He stopped and defended those who criticized the death penalty.
When the two executioners recovered their internal injuries at an astonishing speed, exceeding everyone’s expectations, it was he who was the happiest.
but… … .
“Why did you become like this?”
The Wind Cloud Blade let out a soft sigh.
He shook off the support of the two brothers who were looking at him with wide-open eyes, and grabbed his beloved sword, which was now only the hilt of the sword.
“Remember? Master said this when he gave me this sword. There is no need to strive to become a guru. Just live right. “If you keep your morals as a human being, you are a Taoist.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
“If you want to live like that, go to the executioners. I will stay. “That is the way to avoid tarnishing the name of Daejong Nampa, which has been inherited from our teacher.”
Pungungeomgundo, Noho Swordsman and Taeeul Mujeonggeomdo.
And everyone on this battlefield knows.
If the Jongnam faction, which is in charge of one axis of the war at this point, retreats, this battle will be a sure defeat.
That is why the Windyun Sword Army could never retreat.
At least for yourself.
Wow.
When I bite my tongue, my vision becomes clearer along with a tingling pain.
The Wind Cloud Sword Army poured out a puff of black smoke and took a step towards the two approaching dark ghosts.
Slosh.
My steps and heart are heavy.
Maybe he, too, wanted to run away from this place.
However, the Wind Cloud Sword Army did not stop.
I couldn’t run away.
Because that was the duty of a human being that my teacher taught me.
‘Looking back, I wasn’t a very good Taoist either.’
He was always jealous of the leading Hwasan faction and pursued only the interests of the Jongnam faction.
He became powerful through the wealth that came and went in collusion with those in power, and accepted disciples based on talent rather than character.
Because I thought that was the path for the Jongnam faction.
But even in the midst of all this, I never forgot the two letters: justice.
And here, at this very moment, there are countless allies fighting for their lives.
In the most dangerous place, there is a young man who faces a greater crisis than anyone else.
shame.
That was the reason he couldn’t back down.
“Come. No, I’ll let you go this time.”
The Wind Cloud Sword Lord let out a voice filled with phlegm.
At the same time, he looked at the two monsters approaching him with clearer eyes than ever before, and poured all the remaining energy into his beloved sword, which had become a form that could no longer be called a sword.
Tsutsutsu!
A dazzling sword blazed.
The final spark that can be seen as a long-time scholar of the Jongnam faction and as a martial artist.
“For Daejong Nampa.”
At that moment, when he muttered softly, the Wind Cloud Sword Lord stretched out his new form with all his might.
“no!”
“Long sentence priest!”
And, leaving behind the shouts of the executioners echoing from behind, there were two flashes of light waiting for the Wind Cloud Sword Army, which flew in like a single moth.
Whoosh! Squirt!
A huge sword that breaks the wind and a pure white sword that cuts through space.
The Wind Cloud Sword Army, who was rushing towards the wave of destructive power, had a calm intuition.
It’s over.
Even with this strike, using all my might, I will not be able to take their breath away.
However, at that moment, an unexpected change occurred that not even the Wind Cloud Sword Army, who had accepted their own fate of death, or anyone on the battlefield, expected.
Huh, wow!
A distant flash of light came from far away, and a huge shock wave hit the area.
explosion. disaster.
I had no idea what to call it, but one thing was clear.
Crash!
This unexpected shock wave disrupted the posture of the two dark demons standing on the ground, and the strike of the Wind Cloud Sword Army, which had already been fired while stepping in the air, passed through the flash of light.
Suddenly!
The moment when the thirty-six swords in the world made of dazzling light split the space.
Seaaaaaa.
The Wind Cloud Sword Army that passed by the two dark spirits like the wind, no, everyone on the battlefield raised their heads according to instinct.
And, I finally saw it.
Hwareuk.
An incredibly large sphere of flame that seemed not of this world.
Hell Fire, a fire brought from hell.
