Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 279

“You are the Sichuan branch leader’s teacher…?”

The eldest son of the Guizhou Samjeol muttered with a blank expression.

When the Cheonak Army suddenly appeared on the battlefield, I felt death.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to get out of here alive.

But in a moment of despair, a rope came down from the sky.

The old elder’s gaze turned to Yeon Yeon-un, who was lying unconscious on Cheongmyeong Dojang’s back.

‘I was wondering where on earth someone lived that raised such a monster.’

A man who fell like a thunderbolt and appeared in front of the group.

It was possible to get some idea of the subject’s capabilities just by the terrifying energy waves that stimulated the skin.

The man in front of me was an expert who had reached absolute heights.

‘Looking at me, it doesn’t seem like he is a person named among the Ten Heavenly Emperors. Is he a retired master who left the martial arts world? Some people seem to know his identity.’

The fishermen, beggars, ronin, excommunicated monks, and Tang family members seemed to be acquainted with the man.

Everyone had a relieved expression on their faces, and it seemed like they had a firm belief in the man’s abilities.

‘Is it okay to get my hopes up?’

No matter how great the man’s martial arts skills were, it would not be easy to subdue Cheonakgun, who was said to have defeated a ghost by himself.

We also had to take into account the fact that we were trapped in a siege created by demonic cultists.

‘At the very least, if only we could buy time for the rescue team to escape the battlefield safely…’ The

hand holding the sword gained strength.

The dying flame of hope began to burn brightly again.

* * *

The raindrops became thicker and the wind became stronger.

Thunder rumbled loudly and flashing lights frequently brightened the sky.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

A fierce battle was taking place on the ground.

Wi Suak, a disciple of Ma Cyoju, Cheonakgun (千岳君).

Dokgo Woojin, the former leader of the Hwangryongmugwan, Cheonkwon.

The atmosphere was distorted and the terrain changed due to the fight between the two absolute masters.

Don’t fall in!

Every time Dokgo Woojin, a man whose entire body was engulfed in white brain energy, punched, the electrocuted demons screamed and rolled on the floor.

Quack!

When Wisuak, a man enveloped in thick steam, thrust out his scorching hand, the stone wall he hit melted like ice.

“Are those two really human?”

“Who on earth is that author?”

“Was there an expert like that in the martial arts faction?”

The demons who managed to secure a safe distance stuck out their tongues.

The fight between the Blood Flower Witch and the Heavenly Dragon was great, but the fight between the Heavenly Evil Army and the unknown absolute master was even greater.

“Shouldn’t we go and help?”

“Are you going to get involved in that fight? “Are you out of your mind?”

“…I can’t do it. “I don’t even dare to get close.”

“Some kind of thunder energy is constantly pouring out like fire and moisture. “How much inner strength does it possess?”

The eyes of the demon cultists who were talking among themselves soon turned towards the rescue team.

The sight of the Heavenly Dragon riding on the back of the Cheongmyeong seal caught their attention.

“…….”

The demons who exchanged signals with their eyes kicked the ground at the same time.

They all knew.

They knew that if they tried to intervene in a fight between two absolute masters, they would only end up getting killed.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t just sit back and watch the fight without doing anything.

In the end, there was only one action they could take.

We had to stop the rescue team that was trying to escape while Cheonakgun was tied up.

“Tsk!”

Janggang Johyeop, who swept away the demons coming from all directions, clicked his tongue.

Before I knew it, the demons in the rear were also approaching.

As he swung the fishing rod, the Cheonjamsa (天蠶絲) came loose and swept wildly across the front.

The demons blocking the path ahead screamed and ran away.

“Kaaak!”

“what! “What on earth happened to me… Wow!”

The dark visibility and pouring rain made fishing lines memorized.

Jang Kang Jo-hyeop’s hand holding the fishing rod gained strength.

Fortunately, thanks to the heavy clouds, the siege net on the front line was not that thick.

I felt like I could somehow get through it if I pushed myself just a little bit.

“…….”

Sogeol-gae’s face looked solemn as he glanced at the unconscious Yeon-woon.

He gathered up what little strength he had left and concentrated it on both hands, ran forward and shouted.

“Get out of the way! “Dogs of the Demonic Cult!”

The rescue team’s soldiers followed behind, scattering cuttings in all directions.

* * *

“Big!”

Cheonakgun let out a faint groan and took a step back.

He pushed his opponent away with his sword and cursed inwardly.

‘Where on earth did this monster come from?’

The scent of blood lingered in my mouth.

It seemed like he suffered internal injuries while frantically exchanging sums.

To a third party, it may have seemed like a coincidence, but in reality, it wasn’t like that.

The man in front of me had skills that surpassed my own.

‘The reason the balance is maintained is because he is fighting and protecting the rescue team. ‘Our martial arts skills are by no means equal to each other.’

Even among experts of the same level, there was clearly a difference between high and low.

Not all peaks were the same, and not all peaks were the same.

Likewise, not all absolute experts are the same.

‘Damn it!’

A sense of humiliation washed over me.

Ever since I left the training center after finishing the training, I was full of confidence.

Except for Lee Jon, who was called the two pillars of the political faction, he thought that even the absolute masters called the Ten Heavenly Emperors would not be his opponents.

In fact, didn’t even the ghost kneel at his feet?

‘But.’

What is the current situation?

Considering only the situational factors, they should have taken an advantageous position early on.

Nevertheless, this side is being pushed out.

‘They say the world is wide and there are as many people as grains of sand.’

A famous saying passed down in martial arts.

I was able to realize it only after experiencing it myself.

Why has Master Ma, his teacher and a monster with no rival in the world, shown such a passive action all this time?

Why do you have so many powerful masters, but are obsessed with petty tricks?

The reason why the past Heavenly Demons repeatedly failed to unify the martial arts was not because of any other reason.

The same goes for Cheonryong and the man in front of me who said he was Cheonryong’s teacher.

Even if you have sufficient power and make detailed plans, the martial arts world is a place where variables that interfere with the grand plan suddenly pop up.

bang! Quack!

Every time our fists clashed, there was a burst of drinking.

As the attack and defense continued, Cheonak-gun’s expression became increasingly hard.

The martial art that Cheonakgun learned was a flame attack with the nature of extreme yang.

It was a martial art that was difficult to learn, but was equally powerful.

In a way, it could be said that it was similar to the small skill practiced by the Blood Flower Witch.

‘…He doesn’t even nod.’

Normally, internal energy with a destructive nature should flow into the opponent’s body, damaging the blood vessels and disrupting the flow of energy.

Dokgo Woojin’s face didn’t show a single trace of suffering.

‘I’m not faking a calm expression. It really didn’t take much of a hit. ‘What structure is that monster’s body made of?’

Is this what it feels like to knock on an iron wall made of iron that lasts 10,000 years?

Even when dealing with Chang Gui, I never felt this sense of despair.

‘It’s not like there’s no chance of winning. If you make a move that threatens the rescue team, you will be able to create variables. But…’

The problem was that even if such petty means were used, the chances of victory were not very high.

Above all, gambling at the risk of one’s life was far from his taste.

‘I can’t do it. ‘I have no choice but to step back appropriately.’

The others didn’t seem to have noticed yet, but a large number of people were flocking towards this direction.

It seemed that the main body of the rescue team was coming to meet the survivors.

‘The powerful presence of the leader is probably a sound ghost.’

Emperor Bungcheon and the detachment he led alone would not have been able to hold them back.

The enemy was too large to be stopped by only about 150 people.

Above all, the evil spirit’s martial arts were the kind that showed great power in large-scale battlefields.

‘No matter what, the teaching order was carried out clearly. Since the goal has been achieved, there is no need to overdo it.’

Heavenly Dragon fell into a state of death.

It’s a shame that I couldn’t finish it, but I was going to die soon anyway if I left it alone.

I was confident because I tried it myself.

Even if God’s hand were to be used, he would not be able to save him.

The price of operating gold balls was that great.

Cheonakgun, who had made up his mind, made a surprise attack and widened the distance between him and his opponent.

Absolutely! Absolutely!

A white current of such size chased after me, but I was able to easily shake it off.

The opponent was in a position to protect his allies.

You cannot be further away from your companions than a certain distance.

Quagwagwang!

As soon as the Cheonak Army left the battlefield, Dokgo Woojin began to violently sweep through the Demonic Church camp.

Horses falling like leaves in the cold wind.

Even though he exchanged hundreds of sums with an expert of the same level, he did not show the slightest signs of fatigue, and was like the messenger of death on the battlefield.

Thanks to Dokgo Woojin’s performance, the movement of the rescue team gained momentum.

The barely maintained siege collapsed and the road was opened.

“Run!”

“Don’t slow down! “One o’clock is urgent!”

Before long, a group of horsemen appeared in front of the group running along the open road.

It was the main unit of the rescue team led by Ak Yeo-ryeong, the leader of the White Dragon.

The old Taoist master Cheongmyeong hurriedly stepped forward and handed Baekrangdaewon Yeonsun’s new form and said.

“Take me to God!”

“yes?”

“I’m telling you to take the Sichuan branch leader to Baekmakmun and show him to God! ASAP!”

* * *

The battle is over.

The executives of the rescue team who returned to the back door late at night looked at Yeon-woon lying on the makeshift bed with worried expressions.

Hyeok Ryeon-wook, an old man who was holding his wrist and feeling exhausted, frowned and shouted.

“What on earth have you done to turn yourself into such a rag!”

“It seems like they used gold balls. To protect the party from the Blood Flower Witch…”

“Have you seen such a foolish bastard!”

“Can you save me?”

“It’s hard. The current state of Heavenly Dragon’s body is, so to speak, like poison. It looks like life force is leaking out of the body. The good news is that the teacher took appropriate measures to minimize the loss of energy.”

There was admiration in Shin’s eyes as he looked back at Dokgo Woojin.

Currently, energy with the nature of thunder was located throughout Yeon-woon’s bloodstream.

For a normal person, it would act as a factor that prevents energy from circulating smoothly, but considering the current state of Heavenly Dragon’s body, there was no more appropriate measure.

It will suppress the internal energy that is running out of control and running wild.

The unusually tough and strong veins, plus the teacher’s appropriate actions.

If either of the two had not been present, the Sacheon branch manager would have died long ago.

“Is there no way?”

“No matter how much I do, there are limits to what I can do. If I had an elixir at least, I would try to stabilize the energy, but there is no way I could easily obtain an elixir in the middle of a battlefield like this…”

“There is.”

“what?”

“I have the elixir.”

God’s pupils dilated.

Dokgo Woojin said, handing him the wooden armor he had taken out of his pocket.

“This is something my student got from Nanman. Please use it.”
