Chapter 514: Chapter 1402: Infinitely More Than Enough (Part 2)
"Protect! Protect with your lives!"
A rough voice echoed across the battlefield.
Everyone rushed forward like a torrent, surrounding the overwhelmed Five Swords and their companions. The disciples of Mount Hua, the disciples of the Tang Family, and even the disciples from the Namgung Family who had rushed in later, all charged at the enemies, pushing them back.
"Retreat, you dogs of the Evil Sect!"
The remaining disciples of Mount Hua advanced with determination towards the space created by Heavenly Comrade Alliance.
"Sahyung!"
"Damn it, Sasuk!"
The members of the Evil Sect, now in disarray, were met with fierce hatred in the eyes of Mount Hua's disciples.
Unable to withstand their rage, those about to charge straight at the enemies were stopped by the resounding voice of Un Am.
"Hold your ground!"
"Sect Leader, Jo Gol..."
"Our task is not to aim for the enemies! Protect your Sahyungs! Make sure none of them breach this place!"
"Yes!"
The disciples of Mount Hua, with determination in their eyes, pushed back the members of Myriad Man Manor who were targeting Chung Myung and his party. Bewildered by the force they encountered, the members of Myriad Man Manor were pushed back continuously.
The disciples of Mount Hua, along with others from Heavenly Comrade Alliance, created an impenetrable wall that the enemies couldn't breach.
"Yoon Jong!"
On the other hand, Hyun Sang, who had rushed like lightning, was left momentarily speechless before Yoon Jong. When Hyun Sang, trying to regain his composure, reached out to check Yoon Jong's condition, Yoon Jong abruptly raised his head and pointed laboriously elsewhere.
"Elder... More than me, Chung Myung, Chung Myung..."
"Hey, you! Who's who...!"
"Elder, please, Chung Myung..."
Hyun Sang bit his lip tightly. At that moment, Baek Cheon held out Chung Myung, who was being held in his arms.
"Elder..."
"..."
"My energy... Chung Myung, that guy..."
Although the words were sporadic and didn't flow smoothly, Hyun Sang understood the meaning immediately.
However, he couldn't accept Chung Myung. There wasn't a single spot on him that wasn't injured, so where on earth could he touch without causing harm?
"Step aside."
"Sect Leader, Chung Myung..."
"Get yourself together!"
At that moment, Hyun Jong pushed Hyun Sang aside and accepted Chung Myung. His clothes were soaked in the blood Chung Myung had shed. However, without batting an eye, Hyun Jong, holding Chung Myung, pushed internal energy into his stomach.
"Is, is he okay? Is he okay?"
Hyun Sang urgently asked, and Hyun Jong, without answering, shouted.
"Those who can afford it, take care of the wounded! Hurry!"
"Yes?"
"What are you all doing! Is Chung Myung the only one injured?"
"Yes? Oh, yes! Great Sect Leader!"
At that word, everyone snapped back to attention.
Of course, Chung Myung was the most critically injured, but others had suffered injuries that couldn't be neglected either. Those with the ability rushed over to provide assistance. Hyun Sang also supported Yoon Jong and infused energy into his back.
"...Sect Leader."
"Don't talk, Gol-ah!"
Unam transferred energy into Jo Gol's back with his hand.
"Well, other people..."
"Don't talk!"
"I'm okay! But Sasuk…"
"I told you to shut your mouth!"
Un Am bit his lips. Even in this situation, he had the spirit to care for others. Was he kind or just foolish? It was hard to distinguish.
'These foolish guys...'
How could they not take care of their own bodies like this? It was admirable. But at the same time, it was infuriating.
Even among them, there was someone who wouldn't listen the most.
"Soso! This is not right!"
"Let me go!"
"Soso! Your injuries are serious too!"
"I won't die, so let me go!"
Tang Soso, rejecting those trying to treat her, clung to Chung Myung, who Hyun Jong was holding. Despite Hyun Jong's attempts to stop her, Tang Soso tightly grasped Chung Myung's wrist and fervently examined his pulse.
"Where is my father? Where is the Tang Family Lord?"
"He's currently blocking the enemy's approach. He'll be here soon."
"Hurry! As soon as possible! Great Sect Leader! Sahyung is dying!"
Hyun Jong shouted as if there were no time to waste.
"Un Geom! Fetch the Tang Family Lord! Immediately!"
"No need for that."
At that moment, a streak of green light abruptly landed before them.
"Father!"
"Come this way."
Tang Gunak embraced Chung Myung as if snatching him away. The rigid face of Tang Gunak, scrutinizing the condition, momentarily turned pale. The icy expression that seemed unchanging even if the world collapsed crumbled, making his face more terrifying than any scream or cry.
"What on earth were you thinking!"
Tang Gunak, biting his lips, solemnly touched Chung Myung. From a small pouch in his arms, he pulled out and opened a container, revealing about a dozen large gold needles.
"No one! No one, absolutely no one is allowed to approach, understand!"
Hyun Jong didn't need to say anything. The momentum of the disciples of Mount Hua changed instantly upon hearing these words. Even those who were reluctant to stand up now rose to protect Chung Myung, inadvertently hindering those who wanted to help.
"Soso! Help!"
"Yes!"
"Tang Family Lord. Soso, too..."
"Don't interfere, step back!"
Baek Sang, who was trying to stop Tang Gunak, was momentarily taken aback by the murderous energy and took a step back. He realized how urgent the situation was.
"Tang Pae!"
"Yes, Gaju-nim!"
Tang Pae, pushing away the person giving him energy, leaped into the air. The moment he attached himself to the opposite side of Chung Myung, Tang Gunak injected the energy into the needle he had drawn.
Wooooong!
The gold needle held in his hand shook as if possessed. Simultaneously, Tang Gunak's robe, unable to withstand the energy, swelled as if it would burst. Even the disciples of Mount Hua, who were standing firm, were momentarily forced to turn around due to the tremendous force.
Just as Tang Soso, unable to overcome the pressure, was about to step back, Hyun Jong grabbed her shoulders and infused energy into her.
Wooooong!
Tang Gunak's palm, on which the gold needle was placed, danced like a live fish, but soon it calmed down. When the faint vibrations finally completely ceased, Tang Gunak stabbed the gold needle into Chung Myung's throat.
Chung Myung's body bounced up. Suppressing his body, Tang Gunak shouted.
"Dokbi (犢鼻), Jungwan (中脘), Sugu (水溝)!"
"Yes!"
Tang Pae and Tang Soso struck the designated acupuncture points.
"Add three more points to the Sugu acupoint!"
"Oh, Father, Sahyung's body..."
"Do as you're told!"
"Yes!"
Tang Soso clenched her teeth and struck the specified acupoints by Tang Gunak. At that moment, black, dead blood spurted out of Chung Myung's mouth.
Wooooong!
Another large needle pierced the middle of Chung Myung's chest. A long needle, the size of an adult's palm, plunged into his body and disappeared.
"Bae-hoe (百會), Geogwil (巨闕), Chungyang (衝陽)!"
"Yes!"
The Tang Family Lord Tang Gunak was an absolute expert. However, his face was soon drenched in sweat. It was a sight that made it clear how much mental and physical strength he was consuming in this acupuncture technique.
Wooooong!
Tang Gunak gritted his teeth and infused energy into the acupuncture needle. Due to the sudden consumption of internal energy, his hands began to tremble.
After a while, the last needle among the twelve pierced the middle of Chung Myung's forehead.
"I-Is it permissible to do this to a person's head?"
Someone, unable to endure any longer, exclaimed, and Tang Soso responded loudly.
"It's not a needle!"
"Eh... huh?"
She had no more energy to explain. Giving up on answering, she grabbed Chung Myung's wrist and infused energy into him.
The gold needle used by Tang Gunak this time wasn't actually a needle. It was a potion made by gathering and refining rare substances that were hard to find even for the Tang Family. Each one was invaluable and could not be priced with money.
In the Tang Family, it was called the Great Gold Reviving Needle. (還魂大羅金針). It was a treasure that only the head of Tang Family was allowed to possess through generations.
In other words, Tang Gunak was currently using the treasure that the Tang Family had held for generations on a non-Tang family member without a moment's hesitation.
However...
"Not enough."
Tang Gunak raised his head sharply.
"Ice Palace! Bring the Ice Palace elder here! Beast Palace Lord too! Right away!"
"Un Am! Hyun Sang!"
"Yes! Sect Leader!"
"Open the way! Get Ice Palace and Beast Palace Lord here immediately! Hurry!"
Hyun Sang and Un Am rushed out with determined faces. Hyun Jong approached the unconscious Chung Myung and spoke to Tang Gunak, who was applying energy to Chung Myung's body.
"...Tang Gunak, Chung Myung..."
"I've done everything I can for now."
"...Can he survive?"
Tang Gunak remained silent. However, Hyun Jong did not interpret that silence as a negative answer. Tang Gunak was gathering every bit of strength he had to take care of Chung Myung. It was a determination to definitely save him.
And that determination was not only shown by Tang Gunak.
"Get out of the way, you vermin-like creatures!"
Kwaaaaang!
Beast Palace Lord Meng So knocked down dozens of Myriad Man Manor members in one blow and charged toward their location.
"Where is Mount Hua's Chivalrous Sword?"
With a roar, Mount Hua's disciples also rushed forward.
"Palace Lord!"
"Commander Han, not me! Over there!"
Seol So Baek pointed with her head. As soon as Meng So and Han Yi Myung understood the situation, they approached Tang Gunak with their full power.
"Tang Guju-nim!"
"General!"
Tang Gunak turned his head to look at Han Yi Myung.
"We needed someone proficient in Yin energy in the Ice Palace!"
"Yes? That, that's..."
Han Yi Myung's face momentarily showed confusion. The most powerful Yin energy practitioner in the Ice Palace was, of course, the Palace Lord. Because only the Palace Lord could master the Yin energy technique, the most powerful Yin skill in the Ice Palace.
But now, Seol So Baek had not completely mastered the Yin energy technique.
"If, if not me, it's the Palace Lord."
"Then both of you, come!"
"Yes?"
Tang Gunak turned his head to the Beast Palace Lord.
"Lord! Can you use the Yang energy technique?"
"Well, that's the specialty of South Sea Sun Palace, and I..."
"Can you do it?"
Meng So's face stiffened.
"Do I have to do it? To save the Mount Hua's Chivalrous Sword?"
"Definitely!"
Meng So nodded without thinking.
"Then I'll do it! Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I'll pull it out!"
Tang Gunak nodded and quickly continued speaking.
"Push the Yin and Yang energy into Mount Hua's Chivalrous Sword from both sides. Use all the strength you have."
"Tang, Tang Gaju? But that?"
Meng So and Han Yi Myung's faces turned pale at once.
Those two energies were polar opposites. When these two energies collided inside the body, wasn't what would happen as obvious as looking at fire?
Since they knew how to handle each energy, they knew how dangerous it was.
When the two in front hesitated, Tang Gunak shouted.
"Do as I say!"
But they couldn't move easily. Tang Gunak said firmly with confidence.
"He can endure it."
"..."
"If it's Mount Hua's Chivalrous Sword, he will endure it!"
Meng So, Seol So Baek, and Han Yi Myung's gazes turned to Chung Myung, who was unconscious.
In a blink, they might kill Chung Myung with their own hands. So it wasn't easy to make a decision.
But at that moment, Seol So Baek kneeled next to Chung Myung and held his hand.
"Lo, Lord!"
"I'll do it!"
Seol So Baek gritted his teeth.
"If it's the duty that must be done! To save Mount Hua's Chivalrous Sword!"
In his eyes, there was firm belief. Meng So and Han Yi Myung also nodded, holding Chung Myung's hand.
"No one! No one should approach...!"
Tang Gunak, who was about to say something, closed his mouth. The only thing he could see was the backs of the Mount Hua disciples surrounding them. The determination on their backs was breathtaking.
Tang Gunak took a deep breath.
'I'll definitely save him.'
What he held in his hands was everything to the Heavenly Comrade Alliance. The one who told them what they should pursue.
And above all... he was their friend.
