Episode 267
“Kwaeook......!”
The man whose neck was held by a white jade hand let out a pitiful groan.
Veins bulged on the healthy, bronze skin.
My trembling hands went limp.
In an instant, his muscular body became as thin as a wooden ear.
“Whoa.”
The naked woman, the Blood Flower Witch, who was sitting on top of the man’s body, stretched out with a satisfied expression.
She got down from the bed and looked at her body in the mirror placed in the corner of the barracks.
Smooth skin with no visible blemishes.
The wounds sustained in the fight with the Plum God Sword had disappeared everywhere.
Red lips, as if soaked in blood, drew an arc.
“......?”
After admiring her naked body for a while, she frowned and turned her head at the sight of a presence outside the barracks.
I felt a familiar energy, but it didn’t feel welcoming.
‘Why are you nagging me again?’
After putting on the clothes that the dead subordinate had brought to the barracks, he put on the colorful accessories that were placed on the table.
After nervously scratching her head once, she asked as she left the barracks.
“Is there a problem.”
“I need help.”
“help? Are you saying you came to me to ask for help?”
“Yes.”
Emperor Bungcheon, an uninvited guest, nodded with a calm expression.
The Blood Witch’s eyes narrowed.
I can’t believe that the day comes when Emperor Bungcheon, who is no one else, says something regretful to himself.
I thought that the sun would rise in the west tomorrow.
“I will listen to the story first and then make a decision.”
“...It smells like a corpse.”
“I suffered a serious injury while dealing with Plum Blossom God Sword. “I had no choice but to keep my body in perfect condition...”
“I didn’t say this because I wanted to hear excuses.”
There was a hint of displeasure in the Pungcheon Demon Emperor’s eyes.
He glanced sideways inside the barracks and cursed in his mind.
‘Crazy bitch. ‘You don’t know what moderation is.’
I could tell.
The Blood Flower Witch must not have suffered injuries so severe that she needed to be quenched.
She pathologically hated having scars on her skin.
She was the one who could calmly sacrifice an innocent subordinate to heal a wound that would naturally disappear in a few days.
‘No matter what, you’re doing something that lowers the morale of your allies in the middle of the battlefield.’
The funny thing was that although he cared so much about his body, he never wore clothing or gloves.
A vulgar piece of clothing that would only be worn by dancers performing in the Red House.
It was so exposed that there was more skin exposed than what was covered by the fabric.
The reason she preferred such unconventional outfits was simple.
Because I want to show off my beauty to others.
The training of magical arts produces various side effects.
The most common side effect was that it became difficult to control desires.
Although there are differences from person to person, when practicing magic gong, basic human desires such as sleep, appetite, sex, and desire for destruction are amplified.
By taking Madan and achieving reverse blood retardation, the side effects could be greatly reduced, but even that was not perfect.
Typical examples were the evil killer demon and the blood-sucking demon emperor.
“......?”
“How could a girl ignore Demon Lord’s wishes?”
The Blood Flower Witch, who laughed as if enjoying the reaction of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor, sent a signal to her subordinates behind her with a glance.
The Seonhwa staff who were waiting quickly selected a flat surface and laid out a mat.
“I just judged that chasing down the survivors was consistent with the Demon Army’s purpose.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean it literally. Isn’t the purpose of the rescue team ultimately to secure the disciples of the Hwasan Sect, including Plum God Sword? Ultimately, the place where they will appear is determined.”
“Right. “I understand what you mean.”
“I heard that the rescue team coming to Lanzhou includes several powerful people, including the King of Poison. Even if this side is superior in terms of military power, there is no guarantee that we will be able to completely annihilate them. “Isn’t it easy to deal with an elite unit that is determined to break through one point?”
It was just as the Blood Flower Witch said.
The reason the rescue team, with only about a hundred people, jumped into a dead area infested with demons was probably because they were confident in their own abilities.
“So I thought about this. “When are they most vulnerable?”
“A moment of vulnerability?”
“This is a girl’s theory, but I think the moment a person becomes weakest is when they have something to protect.”
Ichae looked young in the eyes of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.
Now I felt like I knew what the Blood Flower Witch was trying to say.
“No matter how great a fighter he is, he cannot demonstrate his skills properly while carrying a heavy load. “Isn’t that right?”
“I don’t think it’s a bad plan.”
The Blood Flower Witch, who was sitting with her butt on the mat, offered Bungcheon Demon Emperor to sit next to her.
An eerie smile appeared on her lips as she received the teaware from her subordinate.
“The plum blossom sword has already reached its limit. You’ve faced me several times with internal injuries, so you might be on the verge of death by now. However, the rescue team will never be able to give up on him. “It will make a good bait.”
* * *
Same time.
“Is that true?”
Zhuge Hye, who was listening to the subordinate’s report with Ak Yeo-ryeong in the command barracks inside Baekmakmun, asked back with a surprised expression.
Chu So, the member of the Black Night Guard, nodded and answered.
“yes. I saw it clearly with my own eyes. “It was definitely a white thunderstorm.”
“...!”
A man who came to Baekmakmun alone.
The man who destroyed an entire large formation with just a light punch introduced himself as Dokgo Woojin.
At one point, a conflict almost broke out, but there was a lull as it was revealed that the other party did not come to Baekmakmun with hostility.
“He also said that he was once the head of the Yellow Dragon Military Academy.”
“...!”
Zhuge Hye kicked off the chair and stood up.
The information she learned while researching Yeonsun in the past flashed through her mind.
[Hometown is unknown. At the age of ten, he entrusted himself to the Wanzhang family in Haji, Guangxi Province. At the age of fifteen, he entered the Hwangryongmugwan in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. I became a disciple of Cheonquan, the head of martial arts, and
studied martial arts.] It was not the time to be here like this.
If the man’s identity was really Cheon Kwon (天拳), he had to personally come out and greet him.
Ak Yeo-ryeong, who followed suit, stood up and took the gold that was leaning on the table and said.
“Let’s go together.”
“There is no need for the White Dragon Lord to move himself.”
“no. “I also wanted to see at least once what kind of person the Sacheon branch president’s teacher was.”
A faint smile appeared on the evil girl’s lips.
The two women, escorted by their subordinates, went out through the Baekbakmun Gate and headed outside.
Doo doo doo doo!
After traveling a distance of more than 10 ri (里) on horseback, the party was able to reach the place where Dokgo Woojin was waiting.
The moment their gazes crossed, Ak Yeo-ryeong let out an exclamation that was unclear whether it was an exclamation or a sigh.
“Huh!”
