Chapter 336

Episode 336

“Nice to meet you. “Cult leader.”

A palm stained with golden light suddenly pops out to support the sword sheath.

I took a deep breath as I turned my head to look at the person whose voice was coming from me.

Truly unexpected reinforcements arrived.

‘I never thought Ija would come forward in person.’

He was an old man wearing a monk’s robe.

The wrinkles on his face gave an idea of the years he had lived.

A white beard that reaches down to his chest.

The prayer beads held in the left hand.

I couldn’t recognize it.

That’s because he was one of the most famous figures in all of the Jungwon martial arts world.

‘Buddha respect!’

Master Yeongwoon, Taesangbangjang (太常方丈) of Shaolin Temple.

An absolute master who holds the first place in the Ten Heavenly Emperors.

Often, when people in the world discuss the best of Baekdo martial arts, there are two people who are mentioned first.

Ijon (二尊).

Master Yeongwoon was a person who occupied the same position as this one.

If Mujon (武尊) Joo Baek is the representative face of Maeng, he was the spiritual leader of the martial arts faction.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Lord Ma, me, and Master Yeongun.

A storm raged around the three absolute masters.

“Huh!”

“Aaaah!”

The warriors of low status were helplessly pushed away and flew away.

Even the powerful people did not dare to approach and did their best to stay in place.

‘indeed.’

I exclaimed inwardly and added even more strength to the hand holding the sword sheath.

The energy with anti-demonic properties neutralized the demonic energy.

The supernormal abilities of the world-class spiritual practice Prajñāśīkū (般若神功), which represents Shaolin Temple, were clearly being demonstrated.

Among the martial powers of Baekdo, the group that the demon cultists found most disturbing was the Tang family, and the group they feared the most was none other than the Shaolin temple.

The monks of Shaolin Temple all learn martial arts based on the energy of anti-demon, and to the magicians who learned magic, they could be said to be natural enemies.

Kuaaaaang!

The energy expanded to its limit and eventually caused an explosion.

Master Ma, who jumped back and retreated, muttered.

“It’s a variable that couldn’t be assumed.”

His gaze turned to Sima Xuhuan, who was curled up on the ground and moaning.

Sima Xuhuan’s appearance was truly miserable.

His clothes were in tatters and he had big and small wounds all over his body.

Judging by his pale complexion, he must have been caught in the aftermath of a fight and suffered internal injuries.

“I’m in trouble.”

Even if you were the best expert in the world, it was not easy to protect someone while dealing with multiple enemies.

This is especially true if the person you need to protect is tired or injured.

“Buljon. “Why are you here?”

“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be here?”

“An old man who has never been seen on the battlefield before now took off his heavy ass to join Cheonnajimang and the like? “You can’t help but have questions.”

“This is not the first time that the leader of the cult who said that has appeared in person. “I think it’s the same for both of us.”

“I don’t want to hear any puns.”

Ma Cyoju’s voice became cold and subdued.

A calm smile appeared on the Buddha’s lips.

“If I had to give a reason, it’s because I remembered an old relationship.”

“An old relationship?”

“I brought my old body all the way to Ye because I wanted to meet the disciple of the benefactor who saved my life. “I don’t know if I gave a satisfactory answer.”

It was the moment when the reason why the Buddha suddenly appeared here was revealed.

I laughed and stared at the Buddha’s profile.

A conversation I had with Lee Kang-hak in the past flashed through my mind.

[What is your relationship with Master?]

[A long time ago, we briefly joined forces in the process of rescuing Great Master Yongun, who was in danger.] I

never dreamed that Master’s connections would be helpful in this way.

The reason the Buddha came here was to meet me.

How could you expect something like this?

“I heard there was a close relationship between the Thunder King and the Buddha...”

“To be honest, I’m also in a dazed mood. Who would have thought that going out on a light-hearted outing would lead to a confrontation with the religious leader? Fate is so amazing. “Isn’t that right?”

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

When he swung his sword, everything in its path was cut in half.

The ground, rocks, trees, and even people.

At the same time, Ma Jiaoju, who was carrying Sima Seju by his side, launched himself at him.

‘Damn it!’

Cursing words naturally flowed out.

I thought it was all fish caught.

Things went wrong due to the sudden appearance of a large variable.

“Mak!”

“Don’t let them escape!”

The drones of the chase team stood in front of the leader, but they could not hold on for a moment and flew away.

The White Bone Demon Emperor scattered a bunch of strong energy, giving the Demon Cultist a way to escape.

The absolute experts, including myself, chased after them, but the White Bone Demon Emperor grabbed my ankles as if he had been waiting.

“Do not disturb!”

Hwang Bo-gak let out a roar and poured out his attacking fists.

The blade of the ceremonial sword and hands stained with gold aimed at the White Bone Demon Emperor’s vital points from the left and right.

Surprisingly, the White Bone Demon Emperor took all the attacks with his body and moved forward.

It wasn’t that I didn’t get hit.

Even if your flesh is torn and your bones are broken, you just ignore it and hold on.

I could feel the will to buy time for the cult leader to run away without thinking about what would happen next in his life.

Chop clap!

The cane sword he held out drew a strange trajectory and bent in all directions.

The drones located nearby collapsed into place with a scream.

“Big!”

The Sword King, who was exchanging hands with him in front, frowned and took a step back.

It was a scene that clearly revealed the difference in capabilities between the two sides.

The martial art that allowed me to fight on equal footing with the Blood Witch four years ago was the Pokjam Magic Attack.

Even more so, since the White Bone Demon, an absolute expert, operated it, how great was its power?

‘This is not the time to be dealing with an old man who is dying!’

It’s called a broken name.

One White Bone Demon Emperor could not stop the entire chase team.

Some people who quickly assessed the situation had already started chasing the Demon Cultist.

Buddha, who received help from King Gwon, also escaped the clearing to avoid the White Bone Demon Emperor’s interference.

The problem was that they could never catch the cult leader on their own.

‘We need to quickly clear this place and follow along.’

I gritted my teeth and unfurled the Wolyeonggeom.

The 21st herbivorous month (敗月).

Dozens of strands of sword energy swept across the front.

At the same time, Geogeol secretly returned to the rear and aimed at the back of the White Bone Demon Emperor’s neck.

“joy!”

The White Bone Demon Emperor snorted as if it was laughable and took a strong step forward.

An enormous wave of energy rose from the toes and engulfed the entire vacant lot.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The sword energy disappeared and the sword flew away.

Unfortunately, he was not yet familiar with the use of swordsmanship to break through the waves and inflict an effective blow on the White Bone Demon Emperor.

A White Bone Demon Emperor who generously pours out his inner strength without thinking about what will happen later.

On the contrary, the pursuit team tries to preserve its strength as much as possible.

There was no need to say which side would take the lead in the fight.

Kukukuk!

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

A loud noise that continues to echo.

It was a fierce battle that changed the terrain.

Numerous warriors were killed or injured.

“Wow!”

The effect of the bomb attack did not last very long.

The White Bone Demon Emperor, who had lost his life in a short period of time, spilled blood from the seven holes and collapsed in place.

Sigh!

I pierced his heart without delay and gritted my teeth as I stared at the direction where the Demon Cultist had disappeared.

It was too late.

Is this how an angler who misses a big catch feels?

In my heart, I wanted to scream and vent my anger at whatever was watching.

I managed to calm down and spoke in a suppressed voice.

“We will begin the pursuit immediately.”
