Chapter 521

Episode 521

‘......Is it over?’

There was an illusion that time had stopped.

I let go of the sword and sat down in place.

I looked down and stared at my trembling hands, then raised my head with an expression of disbelief.

‘Did I really defeat the Demon Cult leader?’

It pierced my heart.

It was undoubtedly a fatal wound.

I could guarantee that even if Daera Godseon (大羅神仙) came, he would not be able to save him.

“Cough!”

Blood soaked the floor red.

I had no strength in my body.

A final blow that draws out all of its power.

“.......”

If it was me, I was there.

I created an advantageous structure and clearly forced my opponent to take advantage of my superiority and force them into a match.

Focus on one point.

I don’t know if it was anything else, but I was confident that this was better than the religious leader.

In fact, the current results proved that.

‘under.’

However, I was confident that I simply could not understand the situation.

Even though it was something I did with my own hands, I couldn’t believe that the leader of the cult died in vain like this.

It was no one else but the religious leader.

The supreme leader of the Demonic Cult.

The best expert in the world.

Feeling a dazed feeling, I looked around and saw the demonic cultists who had formed a large circle and were watching with shocked expressions.

Only then could I really feel it.

It wasn’t an illusion or anything.

The sight that was now reflected in my vision was clearly reality.

‘I see.’

I understood it intuitively.

The leader was physically at his limit, but mentally he was even more stressed.

If you think about it, it was a strange thing.

How on earth am I so alive?

‘The internal injuries have gotten worse, but not to the point where I can’t move.’

The last time swords and fists collided.

I was determined to face the same fate.

Even if he survived, he expected to be at least seriously injured.

But what were the results?

The leader died from a hole in his heart, and I suffered quite a few injuries but survived.

‘I guess.’

There was a high possibility that the Sosalma Army was involved in the reason why the government forces and the foreigners blocked the Great Wall of China.

At this point, I didn’t think there would be anyone else who could stab the leader.

‘...I was too busy coping with the hectic situation.’

There would have been time to see the war situation from the religious leader’s perspective.

After being betrayed by his only remaining disciple, he faced the political faction’s pursuit team to find a way out in a hopeless situation.

He tried to rekindle the flame of hope that was dying out by the minute, but time was not on his side.

He probably realized this when he saw the intervention of foreigners and the government army and the Demonic Cult camp collapsing uncontrollably.

That everything is over.

There was no future for the Demonic Cult that had lost its main force and even its final bastion.

We have reached a point where we have to worry about the survival of our power, let alone achieving the grand plan.

‘If it were a normal person, my heart would have just collapsed.’

A situation where the annihilation of our troops is confirmed.

I also predicted the possibility of losing my life regardless of whether I won or lost the fight.

Various thoughts must have been eating away at his mind and dulling his movements.

‘Even if I barely survive and escape.’

There was no ground anywhere in the midfield for him to set foot on.

Not only the Baekdo people, but even the demonic cultists will question the cult leader and hold him responsible for the failure.

‘It is not torture to extract information or knowledge from the target.’

Sima Yun closed his eyes tightly.

Obviously, at first, the Demonic Church would have used all possible means to persuade my father.

Because the recipe for Gangshi (僵尸) in his head has great value that can turn the tide of war.

However, there was no way that my father, who prioritized the revival of the Sima family above all else, would have fallen for the Demonic Cult’s threats and appeasement.

‘It’s a common occurrence. ‘Torture aimed at breaking one’s will ultimately turns into an expression of one’s anger.’

It was a parent who declared disownment a long time ago.

Nevertheless, when I actually faced it like this, it was difficult to suppress the emotional turmoil.

Sima Yun sat in front of the bars and made eye contact with his father.

It seemed like he had already lost most of his eyesight, but that didn’t seem to matter.

“Do you know how Sima Sega is doing now?”

“I heard that those who survived after losing their homes to the evil family were wandering here and there, being persecuted by the entire central plain.”

“I don’t know what I heard from the demons, but it’s not true.”

“I guess so. I knew from the beginning that it was a ploy to sway me. Each person who came to torture me said something different.”

“.......”

“I believed it. “You will definitely revive the Sima family.”

Sima Seohwan chuckled.

At that bizarre scene, the family members of the Simase family felt goosebumps running down their backs.

Sima Yun took a deep breath and continued speaking calmly.

The story of leaving Jiangsu and settling in Guizhou.

He is also gradually increasing his influence in the region by joining hands with the Cheonghyeoldomun (淸血刀門), who declared his intention to convert to Baekdo.

There is also the prospect that his future actions will be further strengthened by being recognized for his contribution to the subjugation of demonic spirits and his contribution to the war.

“It’s a pleasure.”

“Just as the previous head of the family kept his promise, I also kept my promise.”

“You never call me father until the end.”

“If it’s your last wish, I can grant it to you.”

“done. What if you are a father who is not recognized by your children? “My only hope is the revival of Sima Sega.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“okay. “I’m sorry if you expected something from me.”

“no.”

The shallow breathing gradually slowed down.

It was Sima Seohwan, who continued his life by defying death through obsession and madness.

Is it because he found relief through Simaun?

The weakly burning embers of life began to die out at a rapid pace.

“Rest in peace.”

“.......”

My head fell down and my body, which had been trembling slightly, went limp.

Sima Yun did not move for a while and just stared at his father’s body.

‘...How on earth did this happen?’

A gateway located on the border between Cheonghae and Xinjiang.

The Sosalma army, who discovered the soldiers densely placed on the castle wall, looked blank.

I thought everything worked out as intended.

Now, he thought that all he had to do was return to his hometown, Cheonsan (天山), sit on the supreme throne, stabilize the chaotic school, and solidify his position.

But what is this situation?

‘Why are the government forces blocking the road we need to pass through!’

An unexpected variable occurred.

This was not the time to waste time in a place like this.

We need to increase the distance as much as possible before the Baekdo Allied Forces form a chase team and chase after us.

“Why on earth are you doing this!”

“Go back! “You cannot cross this place!”

The soldiers on the castle wall were currently aiming their bows in this direction.

It looks like he’ll shoot you if you come any closer.

It couldn’t have been an unfortunate situation.

It’s no wonder that gate control is being strengthened at a time like this.

Doesn’t it seem like someone had predicted this situation and had taken action in advance?

There was a face that momentarily passed through Sosalma-kun’s mind.

‘no way!’
