Chapter 181: Chapter 54

Hwick!

One of the students standing right beside Changkwon fell to the side.

Blood was gus.h.i.+ng from his neck, having been beheaded by the j.a.panese.

“You, d.a.m.ned son of b.i.t.c.h! Sock it to me!”

Shouting at the top of his voice, Changkwon brandished his sword wildly.

Though he wasn't good at wiedling it, he was in very high spirits.

The raider who beheaded the student stepped back at his shouting.

But there were miserable screams here and there.

Though members of the resistance group used their bamboo spears, they couldn't beat the j.a.panese.

On the other hand, the j.a.panese beheaded them one by one whenever they brandished their swords.

“Be careful!” shouted Yoni, pus.h.i.+ng Kanghyok to one side.

One of the j.a.panese with buck teeth approached, brandis.h.i.+ng his sword.

Yoni couldn't behead him swiftly, but she was defending against him.

“Son of a b.i.t.c.h!”

Kanghyok, who stepped back for a moment, wielded his bag.

“Ouch!”

The j.a.panese fell down, with his sword broken.

“Wow, this bag is much more effective than a sword.”

Kanghyok could use it not only as a weapon but also as a s.h.i.+eld.

Another j.a.panese also stepped back when his sword couldn't pierce Kanghyok's bag.

Yoni seized that moment to stab him in the chest.

“Master!”

“Yes.”

“Just put down your sword. Use the bag.”

“Oh, I was thinking of it, too.”

Then he threw the sword at a j.a.panese charging toward him.

The sword hit his forehead straight by sheer luck.

Watching it, Yoni praised him,

“Wonderful! You're quite good at throwing things.”

“Hahaha.”

Though Yoni's remarks were ludicrous in a situation like this, Kanghyok laughed before he knew.

Another student nearby collapsed, cut off by j.a.panese.

For some reason the farmers were much better fighters than the students and teachers.

‘I might have already perished if I had stood at the rear.'

Looking at those at the rear who died in the fighting, Kanghyok shuddered.

Though many j.a.panese were killed, there were many more farmers' bodies that were slaughtered.

When Kanghyok was about to run away, Changkwon shout at the top of his voice.

“Hey, we're almost done. Cheer up!”

His body was full of minor and big scars.

But he was clearly in good spirits even now.

At his strong encouragement the farmers and students' morale went up again.

“Yahhh!”

The j.a.panese' spirits were broken by their roaring uproar.

They began to fall one by one, with some beheaded by the farmers' swords and others pierced by their spears.

As they were outnumbered by the resistance group, the victory was on Changkwon's side.

At that moment Yoni screamed, pointing at somebody with the tip of her sword.

“Watch, master!”

“That son of a b.i.t.c.h!”

One of the staggering j.a.panese was walking toward Kanghyok, wearing a black helmet and long sword.

That j.a.panese raider brandished his sword abruptly, which killed a fellow j.a.panese who was moving back at the moment.

Changkwon, who had been boldly fighting up to now, became pale at the scene.

Obviously, the j.a.panese was a nimble and veteran fighter.

Pus.h.i.+ng aside the beheaded j.a.panese, he kept coming forward.

The remaining village fighters, including Changkwon, moved back, but stopped to come to their senses.

Though his fellow fighters were moving back, terrified, Changkwon moved forward.

“We shouldn't retreat here!” he shouted.

His hand holding the sword was trembling, but he didn't stop taking off his step.

“Professor!”

Several students, impressed by their master's resolute posture, came forward.

But the j.a.panese made fun of them with a sarcastic smile.

He seemed to be stronger than the j.a.panese rider that Kanghyok and Yoni met the previous night.

Above all, he was well-built, armed with a longer sword.

“Shall we run?” Kanghyok turned back and said to Yoni.

Kanghyok could see an escape route among the j.a.panese now.

“Run away from here?”

But Yoni shook her head calmly and replied in the negative, “We are superior in numbers. We can win if we stick it out here.”

“But you know they're far more experienced than us.”

“I was alone yesterday, but there are many fighting with us today.”

Though Kanghyok wanted to run away even now, he resisted the urge with difficulty.

Suddenly, that j.a.panese raider began charging toward Changkwon and the others.

Another student fell when that j.a.panese cut him down with a single stroke of sword.

Blood gushed from his body belatedly, but there was no way of knowing how he was cut down.

When he signalled to his fellow j.a.panese, they began to attack again.

Now, this j.a.panese was fighting against Changkwon and four others.

Without Kanghyok and Yoni, they would have already collapsed.

“I'll kill you, son of a b.i.t.c.h!” shouted Kanghyok, wielding his bag.
