Dialogue Transcript Blade of the Discarded — Chapter 7 89
THERE'S A SIGNAL COMING FROM THE RIDGE!
HURRY! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE!!
STAY ON YOUR GUARD!
HE'S ALREADY KILLED COUNTLESS MARTIAL ARTISTS FROM PROMINENT FAMILIES!!
DON'T UNDERESTIMATE HIM! GIVE IT EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!
YOU'RE MOVING EXACTLY AS I PREDICTED.
"THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY'S PURSUIT TACTICS,"
AND "THE TERRAIN SURROUNDING YUEYANG."
AK SOMI TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO KNOW.
YOU MUST BE FURIOUS OVER THE LOSS OF YOUR YOUNG MASTER.
GO AHEAD AND VENT AS MUCH OF THAT ANGER AS YOU CAN.
BECAUSE ONLY THEN...
WILL MY PLAN WORK.
ONE WHISTLE MEANS "BEGIN PURSUIT."
TWO MEANS "TARGET SPOTTED."
AND THREE SIGNALS...
"ENCIRCLEMENT COMPLETE."
BUT EVEN AFTER I'VE EXPLAINED ALL THIS TO YOU...
THERE'S STILL NO WAY YOU'LL ESCAPE FROM HERE.
THE CHASE IS UNDERWAY AGAIN.
IF I DON'T MAKE A CONVINCING EFFORT TO ESCAPE, THEY'LL KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG.
EVEN IN THEIR RAGE, THEY'LL KEEP THEIR DISTANCE IF THEY SENSE SOMETHING SUSPICIOUS.
MANBUDONG'S PURSUIT PARTY SHOULD BE FOLLOWING ME BY NOW AS WELL.
I NEED TO MAKE SURE BOTH GROUPS CROSS PATHS AT THE RIGHT LOCATION.
I'LL LURE THEM AS DEEP INTO THIS AREA AS POSSIBLE.
"ROUGH MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN."
UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS WOULD BE THE WORST ROUTE TO ESCAPE THROUGH.
IT'S EXHAUSTING TO TRAVERSE AND LEAVES BEHIND PLENTY OF TRACKS.
BUT THEY WON'T FIND IT SUSPICIOUS HERE.
IT'LL SEEM PERFECTLY NATURAL.
"TWO WHISTLE BLASTS."
THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE.
TWO WHISTLES MEAN...
"TARGET SPOTTED."
THEY'RE MOVING FASTER THAN I ANTICIPATED...!
I WAS SURE I'D CAUGHT YOU.
YOU GOT LUCKY.
OR WAS THAT PURE SKILL?
THE FAMILY HEAD WILL REWARD ME GENEROUSLY FOR BRINGING BACK YOUR HEAD.
HIS BREATHING...
HIS STANCE...
THE WAY HE ANGLES HIS HAND ON THE SPEAR...
THIS MAN HAS ALSO GONE BEYOND THE FIRST-RATE LEVEL.
I'M NOT AT MY BEST RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T RISK UNDERESTIMATING HIM.
GOT NOTHING TO SAY...?!
THEN DIE ALREADY!!!
"THE SPEAR ARTS OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY."
I'VE WATCHED AK WIGUN...
USE THESE TECHNIQUES MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT.
THE MOMENT HE DRAWS HIS SPEAR BACK,
AN OPENING APPEARS.
THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE.
IF I'D TAKEN MY TIME, I COULD'VE WON WITHOUT SUFFERING AN INJURY,
BUT I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE MY TIME RIGHT NOW.
IF I DON'T MOVE QUICKLY,
THE SITUATION WILL TURN AGAINST ME.
THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY'S PURSUERS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN PERSISTENT PESTS.
I COULD LOSE THEM WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE IF I REALLY WANTED TO.
THE TRUE THREAT IS...
MANBUDONG.
THEY'RE BOTH RELENTLESS AND FORMIDABLE,
AND WHEN IT COMES TO ACHIEVING THEIR OBJECTIVES,
THERE'S NOTHING THEY WON'T DO.
THEY'RE NOTHING SHORT OF MONSTERS.
IF I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE,
I'LL HAVE TO TURN BOTH THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY AND MANBUDONG TO MY ADVANTAGE.
THEY SHOULD BE CLOSE BY NOW.
IF THAT'S THE CASE...
HOW ABOUT I START WAGGING MY TAIL TO DRAW THEM IN?
HMM...
JUST AS I SUSPECTED, HE'S NO ORDINARY OPPONENT.
HE EVEN MANAGED TO DEFEAT MY UNCLE.
BLOODSTAINS...
HOW ABOUT I START WAGGING MY TAIL TO DRAW THEM IN?
HE'S INJURED! HE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FAR!!
MOVE FASTER!!!
DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK YOU COULD GET AWAY FROM ME?
SHADOW FIGHTER...!! THE MOMENT YOU DIE...
THE POSITION OF FAMILY HEAD OF THE SHANDONG AK FAMILY...
WILL FINALLY BELONG TO ME...!!!
?!
F-FOUND HIM!
......
YOU SEEM AWFULLY CALM FOR SOMEONE WHO'S INJURED.
I EXPECTED YOU TO KEEP RUNNING UNTIL YOUR HEART GAVE OUT.
DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN UP?
A WISE DECISION.
THEN RIGHT HERE,
IS WHERE YOU'LL MEET YOUR END.
Chapter Summary
Blade of the Discarded Chapter 7 focuses on the wounded warrior fleeing pursuit by the Shandong Baek Family and his plan to deliberately lure them into deep mountainous terrain. He clashes with pursuers setting a siege with whistle signals and with a spear master who has surpassed first-rate level, seizing an opening with techniques he learned from Baek Somi and Baek Wigun to win despite his injury. Leaving a trail of blood, he aims to bring the Manbudong team and the Baek pursuers together at the same point.
