Episode 376
-Are you okay?
Zain Dojang’s eyes opened wide.
It didn’t take long to realize the identity of the person who sent the message.
She quickly scanned the surroundings and noticed a young man flying through the air, and her face lit up.
“Dragon King!”
“Has the Murim Alliance’s reinforcements finally arrived?”
“I thought he would have joined Zhuge Emperor’s side, but did he change direction after noticing the crisis of the Shaman faction?”
“There are literally thousands of soldiers and horses. “There is no reason to be afraid of the demonic bastards anymore!”
The Taoist monks of the Shaman faction, who noticed the young Yeonsun’s presence, cheered.
On the other hand, the demon cultists looked perplexed.
It was still okay until the appearance of the Namgung family.
Even though many elite warriors had joined forces, considering the number of people they had to protect, there was still a lack of escort personnel.
There were many holes in the perimeter network, so it was easy to hit and run and cause damage, and above all, there was a Bungcheon Demon Emperor on the Demon Cult side.
“What should I do?”
“Isn’t it dangerous like this?”
The battle thus far has been as follows.
While the Bungcheon Demon Emperor captures the Sword King, the demonic cultists under his command run amok.
If the Murim Alliance’s reinforcements joined, this structure would be completely overturned.
Not only will the lack of power be supplemented, but if the Sword King and the Dragon King decide to launch a counterattack, the Demonic Cult that attacked will face a backlash.
It was realistically impossible for even the Bungcheon Demon Emperor to tie two absolute masters together in one place.
“Damn it.”
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor’s eyes were distorted.
As if teasing him, the Sword King said, flicking the sword in his hand.
“I said let’s see to the end. Surely you won’t turn away and run away this time?”
“.......”
A provocation whose intention is clearly revealed.
Even though he seemed angry, the Demon Emperor of Pengcheon did not respond in kind.
On the contrary, his expression became cold.
‘The injured Sword King is not a big problem, but...’
However, the addition of the Dragon King was burdensome.
If he acted recklessly, not only himself but also the members of the special unit would be in danger.
After completing the calculation, he punched the air and widened the distance between him and the Sword King.
The Sword King clicked his tongue and swatted away all the incoming attacks.
“I’m leaving here.”
“yes!”
The magicians leave the place as soon as the order is given.
Although the disciples of the Shaman faction were furious, they were unable to chase them down.
I wanted to chase after him and plunge a knife into his defenseless back, but I couldn’t because the Bungcheon Demon Emperor was watching behind me.
The demons laughed at them and increased their running speed.
“Hahaha!”
“See you again! “You foolish hypocrites of political faction!”
* * *
I kicked the sphere of brain energy formed under my feet and sighed in relief.
If it had been just a little bit late, Zain Dojang would have lost his life.
Jain Dojo is the teacher of Seonhye Dojo.
If I hadn’t saved her, I wouldn’t have had the courage to see Sima Yun.
‘by the way.’
The arrow that was blocked by embodying the false energy was clearly loaded with strong energy.
It meant that an archer who had reached the state of hwagyeong was nearby.
I took a quick look around the area, but there was no sign of the other person.
‘The first arrow was not loaded with strength. If that were the case, it wouldn’t have ended up being stuck in the shoulder.’
Of course, if the strength had been implemented in the first step, Jain Dojang would not have been unable to respond in any way.
A single strike was an attack focused on stealth.
The second strike was clearly an attack aimed at taking his breath away.
Just by looking at this alone, you could see how much experience the other person had.
‘I think I know who the brute force is.’
As far as I know, there were only two archers in the entire central plains with this level of ability.
Changmyeonggung (彰明弓) of Baekdo Martial Arts.
And the Dark Soul Poetry of the Demonic Cult.
thud! Quadddd!
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor barely regained his balance and landed on the ground, spitting out a handful of blood.
The long footprints left on the ground gave us an idea of how deeply shocked he must have been.
The demon cultists around me looked at the Bungcheon Demon Emperor and me in disbelief.
“Big.”
“I believe it won’t collapse like this.”
“Who would you dare say something like that to?”
Bungcheon Demon Emperor clenched his fists and adjusted his posture.
He was the best among the eight great demons in terms of his strong body.
I didn’t even think that it would collapse just because it allowed one correct hit.
I added strength to the hand holding the stone and walked leisurely.
“You’ve lost your fear. Do you think you can take on me and my subordinates all at once?”
“There’s nothing you can’t do.”
“It seems like you have reached the absolute state and now everything you can see has disappeared. “You probably haven’t even gotten to the proper level yet?”
“Looking at the increased talk, it seems like he feels a sense of crisis. Are you just tired from fighting with the Sword King senior?”
“.......”
What Pungcheon Demon Emperor said was right.
I have not yet reached full maturity.
Because I knew how to condense energy, I quickly learned the Intangible Sword, but that was not a technique that could be used in actual combat, so I left it aside.
The use of Uihyeonggi and swordsmanship was still immature.
It was true that it had not yet reached a level that could pose a threat to an absolute expert.
However, if you ask me if I am weaker than the Bungcheon Demon Emperor, I am not.
Even when I forcibly crossed the threshold of absoluteness by using the explosive magic technique, I overpowered the blood and flower witch.
Even at that time, due to the side effects of Geumgong, the use of herbivorous food, which required precision, was limited.
Now that there are no restrictions, if the conditions are more favorable than at the time, it is advantageous, not disadvantageous.
‘Even though we have reached the same absolute state, as a practitioner of the White Lightning Divine Art, my starting point is different from that of the Pungcheon Demon Emperor.’
The exhausted and injured Bungcheon Demon Emperor could never be my opponent.
I suddenly kicked off the ground and unleashed a full swing of the Wolyeonggeom.
Twenty-third herbivorous month (水月).
The remnants that remained along the sword’s path crumbled into countless blades.
While the demon cultists were frozen in place, embarrassed by the waves of illusions surging in, I was entangled with the Bungcheon Demon Emperor and exchanged attacks.
Kwakwakwak! bang!
The sphere of brain energy that formed around stopped the demonic cultists who tried to join in.
“Hmph!”
The fist of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor soars in a steep curve.
Even though I twisted my upper body to avoid it, my clothes were torn by the wind pressure.
I endured the pain and lowered my sword in a straight line, and instead of fighting back, the Demon Emperor rolled around on the ground to avoid it.
‘I can see my composure gradually disappearing.’
Perfect!
With a snap of his fingers, a sphere of thunder energy formed in the air in front of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor strongly struck the ground with both hands and used the recoil to leap high into the sky.
Crump!
The sound of bones colliding rang out.
An immense energy began to rush into my clenched fist.
I knew it intuitively.
That the Bungcheon Demon Emperor had taken out herbivorous food from his spleen.
‘I’ll take it head on.’
As someone who was relatively well-off, I had no reason to refuse a head-on confrontation.
Tangible energy was overlaid on the surface of the sword, and brain energy was concentrated on top of it.
The energy has been condensed to the limit, as if it might explode at any moment.
“Kaaap!”
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor struck the air and fell in a parabolic curve.
As if responding, I raised my sword diagonally and cut.
The moment when fist and sword meet.
Kuwaaaaang!
A roar that was incomparable to anything before engulfed the entire area.
A cloud of dust obscured my vision, and the spreading air waves disturbed my senses.
And it was as if he had been waiting for this moment.
Sigh!
An arrow exquisitely penetrated the blind spot of my consciousness and penetrated deep into my shoulder.
