Chapter 331

Episode 331

‘Maybe I like that guy.’

Soon, the Allied forces would form a pursuit force and chase after them.

I didn’t know that they might cooperate with the martial arts forces in the nearby region to spread Cheonnajimang.

No matter how confident I was in my own martial arts skills, I did not think that I would be able to overcome that obstacle with a lump of luggage at my side.

‘It’s a pain in the ass. Should I just kill him because it’s the leader’s name?’

The White Bone Demon Emperor’s eyes became harsh.

For a moment, my heart was filled with murder.

Comforting a young guy didn’t suit his temperament.

‘Rather than putting my life in danger because of that guy, it might be better to split his head off and be reprimanded by the religious leader.’

He was fiddling with his cane and muttering, sighing deeply and shaking his head.

Although the religious leader was relatively lenient towards himself, he was not the kind of person who would tolerate someone who violated his repeated orders.

I still couldn’t forget it.

The day when the Heavenly Demon Emperor, one of the eight great demons of the previous era, was torn limb from limb and died at the hands of the cult leader.

Thousands of demonic cultists witnessed the scene.

Everyone, from the lowest samurai to the lords of each palace, was astonished.

‘At the very least, you have to give the impression that you tried your best.’

A force that all high-ranking people can’t help but fear.

That had no meaning in front of the religious leader.

It was not for nothing that the absolute masters of the Demonic Cult, with their distinct personalities and high self-esteem, irritated the cult leader.

‘Even though he’s a guy I don’t like.’

Sima Xuhuan was the type of person that the White Bone Demon Emperor really disliked.

A pathetic man who has dreams that don’t fit the bill and is so blinded by his ideals that he can’t face reality.

However, his potential value was no less than that of the Eight Demon Lords.

What more can I say, since his abilities were recognized not by anyone else but by the leader of the cult?

‘Even if he is rotten, he is a top-notch expert. If I can somehow come to my senses, the burden can be greatly reduced.’

The White Bone Demon Emperor stood up from his seat, bending and straightening his fingers with a clicking sound.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there is no better way to bring people to their senses than by beating them.

‘All you have to do is take the limbs safely to Shanxi.’

As a shadow appeared in front of him, Sima Xuhuan slowly lowered his gaze.

His eyes were still lifeless, as if he was unaware of the crisis that had come upon him.

‘I’ll beat you just enough so that it doesn’t interfere with your movements.’

Sigh!

The White Bone Demon Emperor’s fist struck Sima Xuhuan’s face mercilessly.

* * *

News that the front line in Hebei had temporarily collapsed and then been restored hit the entire Central Plain.

What shocked the world more than the aspects of the war was the transcendent inaction of the Demon Cultist who finally appeared on the battlefield.

King Jie, an absolute master who held the throne of the Ten Heavenly Emperors, fell into an unconscious state.

Thanks to the sword king who arrived at the battlefield one step late, his life was somehow saved, but his Danjeon was broken and he was unable to perform martial arts again.

If it were not for the divine medicine that appeared with the King of Tao, he would not have been able to withstand the reflux of internal energy and would have become a deceased person.

‘I don’t understand.’

As I lay down on the bed in my personal barracks, I looked up at the ceiling and muttered.

I couldn’t figure out why the Demon Cultist had appeared at this point.

I thought it would be a little later before he revealed his existence.

‘I thought he would appear at a more critical moment, inflicting devastating damage on the Murim faction.’

Of course, the destruction of Jiewang’s Danjeon was a great loss from the point of view of the political faction, Wulin.

However, the front line in Hebei did not collapse, and it would become even stronger when Meng’s reinforcements arrived later.

From the Demonic Cult’s perspective, it could be said that it achieved only a low result, aside from revealing its hidden trump card.

‘Is there something else you’re trying to do?’

The thoughts did not last long.

You don’t get an answer by thinking about it for a long time.

Now was the time to focus on the problem at hand.

‘The second day since the chase began.’

The fugitives have not yet been found.

The waterway located underground in Sima Shiga was connected to a cave located on the road to Anhui.

“.......”

Sima Seohwan nodded at the sound that penetrated his ears.

His appearance was truly miserable.

There was not a single inch of my body that was healthy.

He was not injured during the fight with the chase team.

There were traces left of being beaten by the White Bone Demon Emperor.

Just a few days ago, he seemed to have lost the will to live, but it was different now, as his survival instinct and desire for revenge were awakened by the merciless violence.

“Sama Seju is running away!”

“Chase! “You can’t miss it!”

He ran away from his pursuers at the same time as the White Bone Demon Emperor kicked off the ground.

The warriors of the Hwangbo family tried to chase after him, but were caught in the water by the pouring river.

Kwaaaaang!

The King of Fist and the White Bone Demon Emperor clashed.

The moment the gauntlet and sword touched each other, a loud noise echoed throughout the area.

A cloud of dust rose up and the mountain birds fled, flapping their wings noisily.

“It’s an honor to meet you like this. “You say you’re the best swordsman in the Demonic Cult?”

“So, you are the third most talented person in the political faction.”

Hwang Bo-gak’s eyebrows twitched at the subtle mockery.

Currently, there were three martial arts experts representing Baekdo Martial Arts.

The Buddha of Taesangbangjang of Shaolin Temple.

King Gwon, the head of the Hwangbo family.

Thunder King, the leader of the Murim League’s torpedo raiders.

Baekgolmaje’s remarks were no different from belittling Hwang Bo-gak by calling him ‘the last of the three great magistrates.’

“You say something interesting. Would you like to try it somewhere?”

“I doubt whether you are worthy of my test, but I will give you a special opportunity.”

Every time the sword and fist met, a terrifying wave engulfed the entire area.

Hwangbo’s warriors stepped back and widened the distance to avoid being caught up in the battle.

The fight between the two absolute masters was not easily resolved.

Their skills were similar, and neither side had any intention of pushing the game too far.

“Sigh!”

Around the time when about 150 won was exchanged.

The White Bone Demon Emperor, who jumped backwards at an angle, suddenly swung his sword towards the ground.

Kwakwakwak!

The ground was deeply dug up and stone debris flew everywhere.

“Where are you trying to run away!”

Hwang Bo-gak roared a lion’s hooves and punched the air one after another.

From the beginning, the White Bone Demon Emperor had no intention of fighting until the end.

He was just trying to give Sima Xuhuan time to escape and retreat appropriately.

Of course, Hwang Bo-gak also expected this to some extent.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

The White Bone Demon Emperor’s new form stumbled under the pouring rain of fierce attacks.

Even though his entire body was covered with self-defense equipment, he still seemed to be in considerable shock.

It was the moment when Hwang Bo-gak, who did not miss the opportunity and dug into the side, was about to throw his fist.

“You idiot. “I can’t believe I got caught in such shallow water.”

The White Bone Demon Emperor regained his stance as if he had lost his balance and stretched out his cane sword.

Hwang Bo-gak frowned as he urgently twisted his upper body to shed it.

I was unable to completely avoid it and ended up with a shallow wound on my shoulder.

“Do you think we have passed the crisis?”

The White Bone Demon Emperor let out a creepy laugh and his wrist was bent at a strange angle.

The sharp blade fell towards Hwang Bo-gak’s neck.

A moment of desperation.

Hwang Bo-gak’s mouth twitched slightly.

The White Bone Demon Emperor, feeling uncomfortable, narrowed his eyes.

‘You’re laughing at this situation?’

Immediately afterwards, a needle filled with condensed thunder energy exploded behind his back.

Kwaaaaang!
