Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 136

To put it bluntly, there was a gap between the vampire and me that couldn’t be ignored.

‘Practical experience in field endurance. ‘The opponent is ahead in every aspect.’

If I had to point out one point of superiority, it would be the body strengthened by the White Lightning Divine Art.

To put it in an analogy, it was a fight between the Cheonghyeoldomun and the Baekdo Martial Alliance.

Realistically, what are the chances of a milky-smelling child winning a fight against a grown adult?

‘The odds of winning are extremely low.’

So, I thought I should at least create an environment that was favorable to me.

He created a labyrinth that mesmerized the senses of those who entered it, and drew the vampire demon into it.

‘We fight in a thorough hit-and-run manner.’

In the fog where it is difficult to see even an inch ahead.

As a vampire demon with dulled senses, it would have been difficult to take full advantage of the ghost treasure and follow my moving presence.

On the other hand, because I had a fetish that I had received from Damun in advance, I was able to move with relatively less influence from the Jinbeop.

Of course, even if it was an advantageous battlefield, the odds of victory were still low.

No matter how dull his senses were, there was no way the vampire could not detect the presence of an opponent approaching within a certain distance.

‘But you can’t just run away.’

There was a need to constantly keep the opponent in check to prevent him from breaking the formation.

In particular, swinging the intangible sword had to be prevented.

‘We must reach the end with the number of hidden secrets.’

There was one thing that I learned while exchanging stories with Dokgo Woojin about Baekreigi in the past.

[As you can see, I cannot operate the White Thunder Gate as precisely as you did.]

[I don’t quite understand.]

[In other words, you and I have different directions of enlightenment.]

Without even knowing it, I am the successor to the Heavenly Thunder Gate. I set foot on a new road I have never been on.

Condensation, not diffusion.

While Dokgo Woo-jin emphasized balance between offense and defense, I focused my capabilities on attack rather than defense.

I couldn’t say for sure which one was better.

Each had its pros and cons, and above all, I had not yet reached the same level as Dokgo Woojin, so it was impossible to compare them on equal terms.

‘But one thing is clear.’

Condensed white lightning exerts enormous power.

If used well, it could inflict effective damage on even high-level warriors.

‘My enlightenment is more advantageous compared to Dokgo Woojin’s in dealing with high-level warriors.’

There was only one way for me to survive this fight.

Look through the gap and stab the condensed white lightning into that skinny body.

‘You only get one chance. If you fail, that’s the end.’

I hid myself in the fog, rubbing my dry lips with my tongue.

* * *

Wow!

A lump of strong energy sent out in a surprise attack hit the side of the vampire demon.

There was a lot of drinking and dust rose up.

‘…It doesn’t work as expected.’

I clicked my tongue and kicked the ground.

An ordinary attack could not hit the vampire demon.

In order to win a fight against a high-grade warrior, you had to gamble.

‘If we drag it into a long-term war, this is the disadvantage. The total amount of internal energy is much higher than that of the opponent.’

Somehow, he creates an opportunity and plunges the concentrated white lightning into the opponent’s stomach.

The fight being fought now could be said to be the foundation for that.

“There it is.”

The vampire demon looked back at me with a creepy expression.

A thin old man wearing self-defense gear and running towards him like an angry animal.

I took a big leap backwards and unleashed my Wolyeonggeom attack.

The twentieth herbivorous month.

Dozens of strands of sword energy poured down toward the ground.

“Do you think this kind of attack will work?”

The Vampire Demon burst into flames and kicked the ground.

He caught the rain of sword energy pouring down with his body and swung the sword in his hand sharply.

The red energy flowing along the surface of the sword flared up and took on a clear shape.

The manifestation of swordsmanship.

But its size was unusual.

To add a little exaggeration, it was large enough to cut a whole engraving into pieces.

‘I can’t stop that.’

If I had hit back with such tremendous force, the bones and muscles of my entire body would have been shattered.

Absolutely!

The brain energy that erupted from the tips of my toes was condensed into a small amount.

As I stepped on the sphere of brain energy and flew the new type to the left, the sword’s trajectory changed as if the Vampire Demon was waiting.

“Stepping into the void.” It’s amazing that he can perform such feats at his age, but that’s it. “I have already caught all of your movements.”

A huge energy sword surged up with the force to cut my body in pieces.

‘Pick’ I muttered with a smile.

“What is it to understand?”

Wow!

Belatedly, the sphere of brain energy exploded.

The trajectory of the sword caught in the aftermath was slightly distorted.

A sword strike that narrowly avoids the body.

After repeatedly kicking the air and landing on the ground, I hid myself in the fog and spoke provocatively.

“Hide and seek begins now.”

“What a rat you are.”

The vampire cursed and released sword energy in all directions.

I retreated out of range and breathed a sigh of relief.

‘It was dangerous.’

If I had made the slightest mistake in judgment, my body would have been torn in two.

There was no need to let go of tension even for a single moment.

The old man in front of me is an expert who has stepped into the realm of absolute perfection.

A momentary misjudgment could lead to death.

‘I think I’ve improved enough at this level, shall we move on to the next step?’

I took out a small bottle from my pocket and threw it in the direction where the vampire medicine was.

When I sent a strong gun and broke the bottle, black liquid poured out and seeped into the ground.

Cheeeeeek!

There was an unpleasant noise and the ground began to melt.

A strong poisonous air spread in all directions through the wind.

I immediately shoved the antidote into my mouth and rushed towards the blood-sucking demon.

Seven poisonous poison.

It was Tangga’s secret poison made by mixing seven poisons.

Its power was different from the poison previously used for check purposes.

Even I, who had achieved immortality, was not confident that I could drink seven poisons and survive without a cure.

‘Even if you’re an absolute expert, you can’t ignore the Seven Horned Dogs.’

just as expected.

It was noticeable that the blood-sucking demon was biting the new type, covering its respiratory tract with its sleeve.

I raised the sword I held with both hands above my head and threw myself into the purple fog.

‘There is no need for fancy herbivorous food.’

The energy flowing along the surface of the sword flared up and took on a clear shape.

Then, brain energy was overlaid on the surface.

“Sigh!”

With all my might, I lowered the sword from top to bottom.

The vampire frowned and swung his sword in return.

The sword, engulfed in red energy, rose diagonally and made contact with the thunder sword.

Quang!

There was a loud noise and a huge storm.

The poison spread quickly and covered the entire area.

‘done.’

I retreated without hesitation and hid myself in the fog again.

The Chilhon Poison was a poison that was so severe that ordinary people would immediately go to the bone just by smelling it.

Even if you are an absolute expert, you will not be able to survive without breathing.

It was only a matter of time before the vampire became addicted.

‘And from now on.’

As a signal for the poisonous smoke to spread, our troops who were waiting showed movement.

Teuong!

A heavy pounding sound rang out.

An arrow engulfed in strong energy flew towards the back of the vampire’s neck.

“…!”

For the first time, I felt puzzled at the expression on the vampire demon’s face as he swung his sword and struck down the arrow.

It seems they didn’t know that a fire fighter expert was lying in ambush within the formation.

[Take this.]

[This?]

[They say it is an item connected to the core and main body of the true form. I don’t know the exact principle, but it seems that if you carry this, you will be less affected by the Jinbeop.]

[Is it okay to hide with this?]

[Yes. Be careful not to get caught. You can use the signal for me to use the Seven Horned Poison and move. “

[I understand.]

From now on, Bangcheoksam will also move around from time to time to snipe the vampire army.

The arrows shot by Bangcheoksam do not fly in a straight line.

Sometimes it bends at a right angle or rotates in the air like a wheel.

As a vampire demon, it would not be easy to determine his location.

Me in the front and Bangcheoksam in the back.

If the two are constantly attacking, it wouldn’t be impossible to create an opportunity to use their secret move.

I unfolded the ghost bomb and slowly narrowed the distance between myself and the opponent, killing any signs of movement behind the vampire demon.

“This…”

The vampire demon lowered his head and muttered to himself in a low voice.

He no longer covered his face or held his breath.

It seemed like he realized that addiction was inevitable anyway.

“You bastards.”

An enormous amount of energy was concentrated on the surface of the sword stretched toward the ground.

A terrifying energy wave engulfed the area.

When I realized what he was going to do, I immediately kicked the ground.

‘That doesn’t work.’

I couldn’t tell if he was really angry and was doing unreasonable things, or if he was just pretending to be angry to lure me out.

‘but.’

No matter what the opponent’s purpose was, as long as he tried to form an intangible sword, I had to stop it.

There was no option to avoid or retreat.

‘It’s the same for vampires who feel pressure anyway.’

The intangible sword was a technique that required enormous energy consumption.

Even if you were an absolute master, it was impossible to overuse it.

The moment when the distance between each other narrowed to just one jang (丈).

The blood-sucking demon rotated the new model around its left foot and gave a left kick.

‘You let go of the sword from your hand as if you were waiting. Was it really an act to attract me?’

I tilted my head sharply to avoid the skinny hand and immediately entered the gap between the opponent.

The first herbivorous current month.

The sword soared in a gently curved trajectory and cut shallowly into the vampire’s shoulder.

It was the first time I hurt someone else’s body.

‘……!’

I intuitively knew something was wrong.

It wasn’t an attack that really put all its power into it.

He simply swung his sword lightly with the purpose of threatening his opponent.

‘The sword touched the body protected by self-defense equipment?’

It was a story that made no sense.

The moment the vampire with a triumphant expression came into view, I understood everything.

Just as I was preparing for a move of conversion, it seemed that the other person was also preparing for a move of conversion.

‘……Damn it.’

I got goosebumps all over my body.

Behind the skinny old man.

The sword, engulfed in shimmering red energy, was floating alone in the air.

When I realized what that meant, I screamed in my heart.

‘Fighting swordsmanship (馭劍術)!’

The intangible sword was completed.
