Episode 711: The Captain is the Captain after all

When he saw Su-gwan-ji and the others making fun of him while he was getting angry to the point of being unable to bear it, Yong-jin thought he had been fooled and cursed at them one by one so that they could not refute him.

“You… Okay, I’ll watch how you get up there without using any outside force.”

When the water pipe reached its peak of anger, laughter began to flow.

They had climbed the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step with all their might, even with the help of Cheondohwamyeong, so they did not believe Yongjin’s words that he would climb up without any external help and with his bare body. This was truly a vain dream.

The four people ignored Yongjin and began to approach the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

As they approached the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, their complexions began to change. There was a thick aura of death in the oppressive atmosphere surrounding the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

Under that pressure, people felt a mortal threat that they might die.

The nine hundred and ninety-ninth step was surprisingly a gateway to life and death. If I made a mistake, I could lose my life here. This was something I never dreamed of.

“This is clearly an illusion. How could they let us die here? I don’t believe it.”

Jo Moo-geuk snorted coldly and ran towards the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

Sigh.

Suddenly, from the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, a transparent flying sword flew down and cut down Jo Mugeuk. Jo Mugeuk was surprised and quickly blocked it, but the flying sword broke through his defense and made a hole about a foot long in his chest.

People couldn’t help but be surprised. Among them, the one with the strongest physical defense was Jo Mu-geuk. The parts that covered his entire body were stronger than his armor.

However, Jo Moo-geuk was wounded with a single blow. If another person with weak defense had been cut by this sword, it would have been split in two at once.

“Hmm, let me give it a try.”

Su-gwan-ji stretched out his large hand and fired a water arrow toward the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step. However, he was very cautious and covered his entire body with his shield as he fired the arrow.

Sigh.

Another transparent sword flew in, slashed at the water pipe, then rushed at the water pipe, piercing through his stomach and stabbing his chin.

The water pipe was greatly embarrassed when his water section was easily penetrated by the sword without any resistance like normal water.

“Cheon Soo Soon!”

Su-gwan-ji shouted loudly and made three shields with his hands. However, the shields were still pierced by the sword.

It was the moment when the transparent sword was about to stab his heart. The sword lost its power and disappeared. Su-gwan-ji was surprised and his face turned pale.

“This won’t do. Let’s all spread out to the four directions and disperse that force.”

The rest of the people nodded at Jongmuyeon’s suggestion. They stood in the four directions and went up the stairs at the same time. However, surprisingly, they were still attacked with the same force.

“We’ll have to take a risk. Let’s see if we can all charge forward without cowering. We can’t go up like this!”

Jongmuyeom said.

People hesitated for a moment and then nodded. If they couldn’t use any tricks on the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, they had no choice but to force themselves to get up there.

Through their experiments just a little while ago, they discovered that there was an incomparably strong barrier ahead. They had to use all their strength because the living were lurking everywhere.

“Let’s go up.”

The four of them took the strongest defensive stance, their entire bodies glowing with light, and then rushed towards the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

bang.

As the four people climbed the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step at the same time, the Heavenly Emperor suddenly shook with an explosion, and thousands of flying swords flew towards them.

Pok, pok, pok… … .

Blood spurted out everywhere, and the bodies of the four people were riddled with numerous holes. Seeing the four great geniuses flying upside down, the faces of all the strong men of the Hyeoncheon Dojong changed.

“How could this happen!”

The four people who fell down the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step in a pitiful manner had shocked faces and were covered in blood.

The Heavenly Sword Department was rushed to treat the wounds, but people’s eyes were filled with fear as if the Grim Reaper’s sickle had passed through their necks.

Even the top-ranking strongmen of the Hyeoncheon Dojong changed their expressions, as if they had never expected this kind of situation to occur.

The Dong-Hwang branch of the Hyuncheon Dojong sect has produced the strongest geniuses since the beginning of history. However, they were all blocked at the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step and were unable to overcome the barrier.

Even though they were far away, people could feel the terrifying murderous aura that emanated from there.

“Are you really going to kill people? You came right up to me and everyone rejected you!”

One of the lords spoke in an unpleasant voice.

“How strange. Wasn’t there a disciple who climbed the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step in previous years? Why don’t I have any memories of that time?”

An old man said, looking puzzled.

“That’s because the Heavenly Emperor has erased all of our memories. Until we all leave the Heavenly Emperor, we won’t remember the last step.”

The deputy mayor said.

People were surprised. They were wondering why it seemed like someone had climbed the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step, but they had no memory of it at all.

Since all of the ceremonies, whether it be Hyeoncheonhae, Guyuro, or Myeongcheonje, were held by the Hyeoncheon Dojong Jongjong, they could not participate and could only watch.

If you try to participate, even if you are a subordinate lord, you will die instantly according to the rules of this place without exception.

“But I don’t think it was this perverted a level of difficulty. This isn’t a test; it’s more like they’re trying to kill people.”

One of the lords said,

That sword was strong enough to kill all the heavenly travelers. Even the four great geniuses almost died. Fortunately, they had the strongest defense, otherwise someone would have died.

“This is a test, so I don’t think they’re going to kill the disciples. There must be a way to overcome this crisis.”

The vice-minister frowned. He said this, but he couldn’t remember the specific method.

Since there was a law cult in the Myungcheonje, they could only watch from here and could not even hear the sound of their voices, so they could not awaken them.

bang.

When the Heavenly Emperor shook, the people were startled. They thought that the Four Great Geniuses had once again shocked the nine hundred and ninety-ninth step.

But the four men were still tending to their wounds, and another man was seen stepping onto the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step.

“It’s Yongjin.”

Everyone screamed in surprise.

“Oh my god, are you really going to charge in with your bare body without using any magic? That’s too reckless!”

There was absolutely no wavering in Yongjin’s body. Surprisingly, he jumped up to the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step using only his physical strength.

The nine hundred and ninety-eighth step was a place that could only be rushed to by the Four Great Geniuses who summoned the Heavenly Way Flower Name.

“Are you really crazy? Do you really have to do it like that? I’m sure I’d die from the crushing pressure!”

People were speechless for a while.

What kind of a time is this that you’re bluffing to save face?

But how would they know? Yongjin rushed in bare-handed, not to save face, but because he really had no other choice. His new spirit did not help at all, and instead only got in the way.

The three-stage teleportation was also not helpful because it was in line with the basic principle of the new ring. Although releasing the three-stage teleportation would amplify the power, it would also absorb the surrounding pressure, so in the case of the Mingcheonje, there was more to lose than to gain.

The fact that he brought up corruption and other things to the four great geniuses was all just talk to hide this fact.

Yongjin used all his strength to step up the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step. As his feet touched the edge of the stairs, he felt the pressure around him surge up like a tidal wave.

Yongjin’s body immediately began to rock like a small boat in a storm. It seemed as if it would capsize at any moment, making even the onlookers nervous.

Mongki and Dangwan-ah had already reached their limit and stopped walking on the nine hundredth step. Their will was strong enough, but their bodies could not keep up with it.

Behind the two people looking at Yongjin with worried eyes, Gokyang and the others stepped onto the nine hundredth step.

“The captain is truly the captain. He is truly strong.”

Gokyang said in admiration. Yongjin stood shoulder to shoulder with geniuses without using any external force. What a proud thing that is.

The Dragon Blood Warriors also climbed the eight hundred and eighty steps. They were at their limit both in willpower and physical strength, and could no longer advance.

“Brothers, do you see? That is our Captain. He is showing us through his actions that human potential is limitless! If we have a firm belief, we can overcome our limitations and become stronger! No one knows how strong we will become! So, brothers, what are you hesitating for?

Do you think this is your limit? But look at the captain! He is overcoming his limits! But what about us? Do you really think we cannot overcome our limits? Then how are we going to follow the captain in the future? Do you remember the oath we made? We swore that we would make the name of the Dragon Blood Corps known to the whole world. Do you remember?”

One of the military officers was so impressed by Yongjin’s ability to climb the stairs that he shouted,

Yongjin, who was moving forward with all his might, felt his face heat up when he heard a voice from behind.

In fact, unlike the four great geniuses, Yongjin was pretending to be bluffing because he couldn’t use any external force. Otherwise, what fool would try to climb the stairs without using any external force?

The pressure on Yongjin doubled at the military leader’s words. Now, he had no choice but to charge forward, even if it meant killing him. If he failed, he would lose the face to face his brothers.

“Damn, I’m going all the way!”

Yongjin gritted his teeth, put strength into his heels, and ran forward.

Knock knock.

Yongjin almost flew backwards as his shoulder dislocated under the immense pressure. He quickly turned his feet back to the original steps. He could neither advance nor retreat.

When Yongjin failed, a mocking look appeared on Su-gwan-ji’s face.

The four great geniuses who had been feeling frustrated for a moment felt relieved right away. Aren’t there people here who are more miserable than them?

Mong-gi and his associates were full of worry. Although they had not reached that height, when the Four Great Geniuses ascended the nine hundred and ninety-eighth step, they summoned the Heavenly Way and gave it their all, so the pressure must have been unimaginably strong.
