Episode 306. The Ten Realms of Zhuge Liang (4)

Boom! Boom!

The surrounding ground splits and bursts.

The long black wall that divided the space was cut into pieces like tofu.

Phew!

The place where the sword passed was filled with strong tension again, bursting through the air.

The fight was a back and forth affair, with each side on the brink of life and death at every moment.

Who did that?

Zhuge Liang’s martial arts skills are weak.

That was nonsense.

Zhuge Changyun was a man of martial arts who represented his family.

The overflowing blue energy enveloped his entire body and swept over the heavens like a swirling storm.

The fight between the two soon turned the support into a mess.

Bam! Bam!

The rubble exploded and the rising dirt scattered like dust.

Cheonyeong, who had no sacred place to begin with, and Jegal Changyun, who now had no sacred place, were longing for the same thing.

The opponent’s life.

I only wanted that one thing.

Either his stamina was exhausted from going through the ten gates, or he was exhausted from dealing with so many unmanned people.

That excuse doesn’t work.

Because the dead have no voice.

The two had to give everything they had and kill the other.

The sun sets while the fierce fighting continues.

When the sun set over the western mountains and the mournful red light swallowed up the blood that had filled the Jegal family, the outcome of the long and drawn-out fight between the two men was decided.

Phew!

Daemangrin, who left Cheonyeong’s hand, pierces Jegal Changyun’s shoulder.

The sword stopped, and Cheonyeong did not miss that moment.

Shoooosh! Thud! Thud!

The Great Wings of Heaven pour out all at once and are embedded in Zhuge Changyun’s entire body.

Pfft!

Then, the fist was deeply embedded in Zhuge Changyun’s body.

Scratch! Scratch!

As he hesitated from the attack that was no different from a fatal wound, a series of flying fists and feet trampled Zhuge Changyun.

A single inch of difference and a single moment of attack determined victory or defeat.

“Ugh… … .”

The ceaseless barrage of punches by Zhuge Changyun stops.

Oh my god!

And Cheonyeong’s sword dug into his abdomen again.

“Ugh!”

A huge amount of blood sprayed into the air from his gaping mouth.

thud!

And Zhuge Changyun’s knees touch the ground.

I couldn’t breathe.

The strength left my hands and I ended up dropping the sword.

chin!

Cheonyeong grabbed Jegal Changyun’s hair as if he was about to deliver the final blow.

The eyes of Zhuge Changyun, who had been raised weakly, were already clouded.

It was a fight where the two sides were at odds, but Zhuge Changyun did not have the venom of Cheon Yeong, who was panting as if he was dying but still wanted to kill his opponent.

“… … .”

Cheon-yeong, who had been staring at him blankly, slowly put down the fist he had been holding.

“why…….”

Zhuge Changyun asks weakly.

“Because I already won.”

“… … .”

Jegal Chang-un grimaced at Cheon-yeong’s words as he let go of his hair and took a step back.

It felt like I was being pitied.

“Bear.”

Cheon Yeong smiled and shook his head at Jegal Chang-un’s soft words.

“No, I won’t cut it.”

“What? You have not only defeated me, but you are also going to humiliate me!”

Cheon-yeong laughs at those words that seem to ask questions.

“Of course you should be ashamed. You sent your family to their deaths in your fight with me.”

“what?”

“Isn’t it?”

“… … .”

“If you had come forward from the beginning, if that had decided the game… … there wouldn’t have been so many casualties.”

Cheon-yeong said, pointing outside the sponsorship with his finger.

The dead… … those suffering from injuries… … .

Zhuge Changyun had ignored them.

I had no face to face.

“Why? Are you saying that it was because if the master steps forward and loses, it’s over? Of course not! You were just hiding behind the backs of your dying subordinates because you were scared.”

Zhuge Changyun, whose face was grimacing at Cheonyeong’s sharp criticism that was full of ridicule, let out a deep sigh and said.

“… … I see.”

Didn’t deny it.

The one who killed him may have been Dang Cheon-yeong, but in the end, it was he who pushed him in front of him.

What could he say when he had lost even his will to fight?

“What do you want?”

“Zhuge Liang’s seal. Due compensation for the damages suffered by Tang and Yangtze.”

“… … Do you think I will accept it?”

“You have to accept it.”

“… … .”

“If you don’t accept it, Zhuge Liang’s name will disappear into history from today.”

“Do you think such a threat would work on me? As you said, I sent so many unmanned people to their deaths… … I was prepared for my own death when I was defeated.”

As Zhuge Changyun laughed, Cheonyeong brought his face closer and said.

“know.”

“… … .”

“But you will have no choice but to listen to me.”

“what?”

“You may think I look like a gentleman to you, but you’re wrong. I’m not the type of person to be lenient on losers.”

“… … .”

“I will find and kill all the Jegals in the world so that they cannot even take revenge. First of all, those who are here now. Not just those with the same surname, but everyone who was in Jegal’s service.”

“Do you think the martial arts world will forgive you if you do something like that? Even in martial arts, there are rules!”

“The way of the martial world? Don’t talk nonsense. Zhuge Liang.”

“… … .”

“For me, revenge is my duty. If one of my family members is harmed without reason, it is my duty to wipe out the entire family.”

“what?”

“Why? When the war started, weren’t you prepared for that?”

Cheon-yeong’s mouth is wide open and she laughs.

It was bizarre.

He really seemed like he would keep his word.

“The moment you refuse, I will exterminate all living Zhuge Liang and then take your head with me to the Yangtze River. You may be fighting a good fight for now. But what if news of the Zhuge Liang’s demise spreads?”

“… … .”

“Revenge? That kind of thing only comes when you have the strength.”

“You bastard! Do you think the Five Great Mugakus will just sit back and watch?”

“Them? Do you trust them?”

“what?”

“… … .”

“They also have no choice but to pursue profit in the end. I intend to take back Dongjeongho and hand Honam over to them.”

“What?”

“Perhaps a war will break out over the precious land of Honam? Let’s just watch and see how strong the bonds of the Five Great Martial Arts families are.”

Zhuge Changyun was speechless.

That’s probably it.

If I die and the Zhuge family burns down… … .

Wasn’t Namgung already supporting Dangga?

I would say I was overdoing it.

It can be said that Zhuge Liang brought this upon himself by recklessly carrying out his work and thus leading to the destruction of his clan.

Jang Gang’s Hwang Jong-gil will also move quickly to help Sanggun Nam Gwang-ro.

Those who go outside will inevitably become isolated, with nowhere to return to.

Some will run away and become ronin, and others will die dreaming of revenge.

“Wouldn’t it be better to decide soon? Night is coming. If it were me, I wouldn’t give up the future for the sake of immediate revenge. There’s a reason why the saying “sleeping on firewood and tasting gall” exists.”

“Are you saying you’re going to seek revenge?”

“You’re planning to do it anyway, right? I’ll accept it whenever you want.”

At Cheonyeong’s words, Jegal Changyun’s expression is full of self-mockery.

“How miserable.”

“Defeat is always like that.”

“Whew, I guess I’ve given you wings. You’re the one who will benefit the most from this war.”

“You have wings?”

“… … .”

“If it hadn’t been for this incident, I would have grown wings at some point.”

“Is that so… … I see. It seems that the Four Thousand Imoogi has finally ascended to heaven.”

Zhuge Changyun nods his head after laughing.

He has already mastered the Ten Great Classics of Zhuge Liang.

You can’t make excuses by saying that Zhuge Li was empty.

Because he was alone.

“Once we’ve made the decision, why don’t we stop the war first? There’s no need for both sides to suffer excessive damage in a fight that’s already over.”

“… … .”

“Come to Dongjeongho as soon as the family affairs are settled. We will discuss the issue of compensation for the damages before and after the war at that time.”

“You’re just going?”

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Well, if I… … .”

“I know that’s not the right thing to do.”

“what?”

“At least you have pride as the head of a clan. You’re not the type of trash who can’t keep your word.”

Zhuge Changyun frowned deeply at Cheonyeong’s words.

“Go to Dongjeongho.”

“The compensation should be quite generous. I would be very angry, but the king would be very angry.”

“hmm…….”

“Then see you later.”

After saying those words, Cheonyeong turned around without any hesitation and left Jegal Se-ga.

This is enough.

I’m really curious about what you were talking about with Samyang, but right now, the priority is to deal with the situation with Dongjeongho and Janggang.

Well, it’s not like Zhuge Liang is going anywhere.

The story about Samyang would be worth receiving as compensation.

That’s why I kept him alive.

Jegal Chang-un, who was watching Cheon-yeong’s back disappear into the world where the spider webs were beginning to cover the ground, lowered his head weakly.

A long-term plan that has been captured by the palace.

A Go board that has lost its big horse.

The war is… … over.

* * *

The Shang army, which had entered the Yangtze River, was making every effort to break through the Zhuge family’s encircling warriors on all sides.

Suchae and Danggata, who left Sacheon, had to join them.

A fierce fight ensued.

Nam Gwang-ro went wild, pouring everything he had into his fight, but was unable to overcome the numerical disadvantage.

however.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The battle situation changed abruptly with the sudden sound of a gunshot.

The warriors of the Zhuge family, who had been making a fuss, suddenly began to retreat.

“Huh? Why are they like that?”

As the attack ceased, the general took a breath and tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

The situation was still unfavorable to them.

It was a never-ending fight, no matter how many times I killed, it just kept popping up out of nowhere.

But why?

Why do you say retreat?

Should I chase this or not?

At that time, the king was frowning and worrying.

“My lord! My lord!”

“huh?”

“Look over there! It’s yellow! The yellow flag has risen!”

“what?”

Nam Gwang-ro turns his head at Suha’s report.

In the distance, yellow flags hang one after another above the sails of the ships of the watercraft.

The war… is over?

What the hell is going on?

Nam Gwang-ro blinks, unable to contain his bewilderment.

That was when.

“You are the head of the household.”

Gongsun Cheng, who had been in the inner room, came out supported and spoke.

“Look, it’s still dangerous.”

“No. The war would have already ended. The Lord must have made it so.”

“Huh? What is that?”

Gongsun Seung did not answer and just smiled.

It is a look filled with infinite trust.

Could it really be that Dangcheonyeong ended the war?

“Who else could there be?”

“hmm…….”

There was no one who could think otherwise.

There is no way that the commander of the Jang Gang clan, Hwang Jong-gil, would have negotiated with Zhuge Se to save himself, and there is no way that the Cheongcheon Alliance, which defined the enemy as an evil force that must be punished, would have stepped in to stop the fight.

The only one who could help him now was Dang Cheon-yeong.

But how on earth?

“First, let’s go to land and look for an open branch.”

“Open branch?”

“Where else would you be able to find out what’s going on right now?”

“But there’s no way Gaebong would listen to me.”

“Your Majesty.”

“huh?”

“Have you forgotten who I am?”

“……ah!”

“I am Gongsun Seung, Gongsun Seung. I am the head of the collateral branch of the Danggata clan and am in charge of finances.”

At Gongsun Seung’s words, Nam Gwang-ro burst into hearty laughter for the first time since the war broke out.

He is the head of a collateral branch of the Tang family.

Wasn’t the evil bastard who was supposed to be the next president of the party a close friend of Dang Cheon-yeong?

Even if the war wasn’t over, we had to go to land anyway.

Because Gongsun Seung’s wounds had not yet fully healed.

“Let’s go. To the nearby open branch.”

“yes.”

For once, the black ships of Gunsanchae leisurely headed toward the land.

The person’s stomach was full of wounds.

As if to show how fierce the war was… … .
