I estimate that the Heavenly Alliance gathered here has the effective strength of 4 large sects. Obviously if they gathered the rest they will reach 5 but that will be mostly through quantity and not quality leading to a lot more causalities. So let’s stay with those gathered here 4 large sects + 3 absolute masters. Around 700 martial artist total. Mount has around 100 people there, Namgung might have survived with 80 but only 65-70 can actually fight, Tang and Nokrim elite are said to be more than 100 so lets say 125-150 for them and Ice palace and Beast palace are around 100 as well. Nokrim might have 1000+ members but I don’t think King Nokrim has the authority to actually lead more than 300 to 400 into battle even if he gives his best and outside of his elite those guys will likely be second rate martial artists. The ten Great Sects and now remaining 3 families have a-lot more elders and disciples through they are unlikely to send them all therefore while their theoretical total might be equal or more than 10 their actual effective strength if all send their elite is likely 7 large sects at best. We don’t have a grasp as to how many absolute masters exist within the GS but I would guess 5 would be fair after they lost Namgung and Tang. With each great sect having around 200 members thats at-least 2000+ martial artists who could join in theory. Not to forget small and medium sized sect that might join in bolstering their numbers but at-least another 1000 possibly. Obviously that all depends on whether or not they actually manage to gather which is highly unlikely under current circumstances. Now for the Tyrant Alliance. From what we now there are 3 healthy absolute master being Jang Ilso, Hao Sect leader and Blood palace leader with the former Pirate leader having lost an arm but likely still being stronger than a peak master I would say 3,5 would be fair. Number wise they are clearly superior considering they have executed 1000 members just to cut out those rebelling we are likely talking about a force 3000 to 4000 thousand strong. Obviously numbers alone don’t equate total strength but such a difference in quantity is still harrowing to fight against so I would estimate the Tyrant Alliance at 6 large Sects in effective strength. That would also fit in with CM saying that they are the weaker force and that adding another large sects would balance them out to the point it’s worth fighting.
"Annihilation! It's called annihilation!"

I think it should be “quietly took a step back”
As Chung Myung's eyes gleamed more and more, Meng So quietly pull out his buttocks.
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
It’s obviously your fault!
"And why is that?!"
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
He means that he has no words to refute how true CM statements is.
"Damn it, I have no words to refute how good you are. That's why people who talk too much are the first to die, because they get stabbed in the back."
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
Kinda doubt it
Of course, he wasn't crazy.
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
True!!
"If it were the you from before, when the members were facing off, you would have beaten them both without a second thought."
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
Oh that one hurt
"I happen to know that place very well...Have you ever heard of the Ten Great Sects?"
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
Namgum dowi most likely
'Chung Myung Dojang is a true Taoist for having kept him alive until now.'
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
I mean who outside of Chung Mung would be his opponent? If Chung Mung wasn’t reborn Jang Islo would definitely have a chance to accomplish his goal. It’s not cocky if he actually has what it needs.
"Before that so-called Heavenly Demon returns to invade the Central Plains, I will dominate the Central Plains through and through. Then, there won't be any need for awkward cooperation. Since everyone will unite under me to confront the challenge."
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
Love the combination of those two. Wish Jang Islo was a bit more active but overall love this fight seeing CM finally let loose.
In a brief moment, the two exchanged glances, then like a herd of wolves targeting a tiger, they charged toward Danjagang.

Iron pestle = blunt weapon/bat (It actually the thing you use to make herbs into small pieces in a bowl) Didn’t know personally what a pestle was so added this comment
Sweeping in the optimal trajectory at extremely close range, the swung sword deeply cut into Danjagang's thigh. Given the short distance and Danjagang's robust physique, the sensation was more like tearing flesh with a iron pestle than a blade cutting through meat.

“At this point, I am wondering what on earth your body is made of?” He means the bishop i believe
"At this point, you're wondering what on earth my body is made of?"

Pls stop raising death flags!!!
"I'll do whatever it takes to bring the kids back."
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
Shouldn’t he at this point have grown a full head of hair. Or does someone cut it regularly. I wonder who?
Everyone behind Baek Cheon nodded in agreement. Yoo Iseol, Yoon Jong, Jo Gol, and Tang Soso. Even Hye Yeon, who had been staying on the sidelines during the conversation, looked at Chung Myung with a determined expression.

I mean in his eyes all of them are children. Even their grandparents would be children to him so his perspective does make sense.
"You're the youngest among the young, you brat."
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
What side story where can i read it?
He is Mount Hua's sword. He is a blade sharper than anyone else in cutting down Mount Hua's enemies.
Eastern · Bagel_Seeds
I think it’s the other way around he feels the duty to rip them off more.
There was something deep within him, a 'conscience,' that he didn't even know existed.

Gulp
