Chapter 332
Episode 332
: An unexpected attack.
The new form of the White Bone Demon Emperor bounced and flew away like an arrow leaving the city.
After rolling on the ground several times, he finally managed to correct his posture and started coughing up blood.
‘Did you avoid a fatal injury by forcibly raising your self-defense device?’
After emerging from the bushes, I ate my appetite with disappointment.
I was planning to target the blind spot of consciousness and inflict a blow that would be impossible to recover from, but the opponent’s response was more agile than expected.
Indeed, an absolute master was an absolute master.
‘Still, you must have been quite shocked.’
It wasn’t something I prepared for and blocked.
The worst was only avoided thanks to excellent reaction speed and judgment.
In addition, the recoil that had forcibly increased internal power could not be ignored.
Hwang Bo-gak, who created Samadhi True Fire and stopped the bleeding on his shoulder, asked me.
“Since when have you been watching?”
“Didn’t you know that? “It sounds like you intentionally created an opportunity.”
“What I noticed was just before the White Bone Demon Emperor attempted to escape. “You’re more versed in stealth than I thought.”
There was no particular signal sent to Hwang Bo-gak.
Nevertheless, the reason he was able to notice my presence before the White Bone Demon Emperor was probably because he was mentally more relaxed.
The side that is being chased and the side that is pursuing.
There was no need to say which side had a wider field of view.
“Since then, I have learned the vision of Muyeongsintu. “Can’t we even do this much?”
“Now that I think about it, when you were the head of the Sacheon branch, the rumor that you robbed the Muyeong Shintu secretariat spread widely throughout the central plains.”
Things were resolved easily thanks to Hwang Bo-gak throwing himself in to get attention.
No matter how much he was a white bone demon, he would not be able to withstand the combined attack of the King of Fist with his internal injuries.
“Fuck you.”
The White Bone Demon Emperor wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and glared at me with harsh eyes.
Teuong!
He hit the ground unexpectedly and suddenly threw away the sword in his hand.
As I twisted my upper body to avoid it, the sword circled in the air and aimed at my back.
‘Eogeomsul (馭劍術).’
A skill that only a swordsman who has reached the absolute level can show.
Hwang Bo-gak fired a sharp attack as if it were no problem and bounced the sword away.
At the same time, I rushed towards the White Bone Demon Emperor.
“Even though I don’t have a sword in my hand, do you think I have a chance of winning in a head-to-head fight?”
The white bone demon roared and swung its sword, aiming for my neck.
Strong energy rose above the fingertips, forming the shape of a sword.
Crack!
He blocked the sword attack with brain energy concentrated near the nape of his neck and counterattacked.
The sixth herbivorous month (片月).
Herbal food made in the shape of a crescent moon.
The sword strike, which soared in a gentle curve, fell down in a steep curve the next moment.
The White Bone Demon Emperor, unable to respond to the follow-up attack, defended himself with a self-defense weapon and flapped his left hand.
Sigh!
Feeling a sense of crisis, I threw myself to the right, and the cane sword pierced through the spot where I had been standing just a moment ago.
It was an incredible speed.
If I had been a little late in making judgments, I would have ended up like a piece of meat on a skewer.
‘Still, it was a valid blow.’
I shook the blood off my sword with a satisfied expression.
The White Bone Demon Emperor drooled and looked down at his bleeding forearm.
Although I protected myself with self-defense weapons, my reaction was a bit slow and I got a few cuts on my skin.
‘Even if you’re hurt, you’re still a criminal. ‘You can’t let down your guard.’
I had no intention of insisting on a one-on-one match.
A favorable situation has been created, so there is no reason to kick it.
Although he was a person who unexpectedly became the greatest magic swordsman due to the death of a vampire demon, he was never someone to look down on.
“…….”
He immediately signaled Hwang Bo-gak with a glance.
Then he charged like a bull and hit the White Bone Demon Emperor.
I followed, narrowing the distance, and gently applied a check to offend the White Bone Demon Emperor.
To lose concentration.
“You damn fly!”
He couldn’t bear it and was furious at the cowardly and shoddy tactics.
Even though he was in a very unfavorable situation, he did not give up and searched for a way out.
They seemed to have decided that there was no answer to fighting in place, so they moved around without stopping, trying to shake off Hwang Bo-gak.
I used the sword technique to tie up Hwang Bo-gak’s movements and ran backwards, and I also used the magic sword I had opened to escape through the blind spot of the senses.
‘It’s holding up well, though.’
I narrowed my eyes and muttered coldly.
My injured body ultimately had its limits.
Since he would have used up a lot of his internal strength and stamina while running away for a long time, he would eventually have no choice but to reach his limit.
As evidence of this, isn’t the number of attacks reaching the skin increasing?
Kakakakang!
The cane sword and Geogeol collided and sparks flew.
Using the recoil of the collision, the White Bone Demon Emperor landed on the tree branch behind the jump and scattered strong energy indiscriminately.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!
By the time I cleared away the attack and raised my head, the White Bone Demon Emperor had already moved far away.
Unperturbed, I continued to chase after him for some time.
‘But… wasn’t this the direction Sima Xuhuan fled?’
Suddenly, a sense of discomfort arose.
If Sima Xuhuan wanted to buy time to escape, wouldn’t it be right to draw the enemy’s attention and run in the opposite direction?
As soon as I thought about that, an alien sensation assaulted my entire body.
‘this.’
My vision was blocked by the fog and my mood was disturbed.
There was no sign of Hwangbogak moving in the distance, and the surrounding terrain could not be properly identified.
It didn’t take long to understand the situation.
It seemed that Sima Seju, who had run away earlier, had set up a camp and waited.
It seemed to be a similar type of Jinbeop to the Mirojin (迷路陣) that Damun had created in the past to trap vampire demons.
‘We must quickly break down the central axis of the formation.’
Of course, it was impossible to trap me and Hwang Bo-gak for a long time with such a hastily created formation.
The problem was that while the steps were delayed here, the White Bone Demon Emperor took Sima Xuehwan and ran away.
‘Even if I somehow succeed in escaping, I won’t be able to escape the world of heaven that spreads across the area.’
I didn’t want to repeat the game of hide and seek we had played so far.
After taking a deep breath, I swung my sword widely and unleashed the Wolyeonggeom attack.
The twenty-fourth herbivorous month (天月).
Following the sword’s path, the remaining remnants crumbled and turned into countless energy swords.
The land and features caught up in the herbivorous zone were torn apart, creating enormous noise.
It wasn’t an herbivore that could be used carelessly without knowing the location of allies, but since the power was controlled, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
Other people might not know, but there is no way a master like Hwang Bo-gak would be in danger to this degree.
‘In times like these, ignorant methods are more effective.’
Whenever Choshik’s recoil was relieved, he sprayed his energy sword repeatedly.
After repeating it a few times, it would be possible to break the central axis of the formation.
About a cup of tea flows.
The fog that filled the surroundings cleared and my feeling returned to normal.
‘her.’
I looked to the side and burst out laughing.
The entire area around Hwangbogak was in disarray.
All people’s thoughts were there.
He also seemed to have launched a series of herbivorous attacks that swept across a vast area in order to break down the central axis of the formation.
If he had used his intangible fist like the vampire demon did before, he might have been able to break down the formation a little faster, but he didn’t seem to do it because he was afraid that I, who was also trapped in the formation, would be swept away.
“We haven’t gone far yet.”
Someone’s screams echoed.
It seemed that the White Bone Demon Emperor was engaged in a battle with the chasers not far away.
Hwang Bo-gak and I immediately left the place and headed to the source of the noise.
“Get out of the way!”
The sight of the White Bone Demon Emperor fiercely pushing Hwang Bo-Hun and other top-ranking experts and Sima Shigeju wielding the iron sword while protecting the White Bone Demon Emperor’s back came into view.
Impatience was visible on the White Bone Demon Emperor’s face.
Seeing that he was having a hard time against an opponent he would have easily overpowered, he clearly seemed to be exhausted.
thud!
When Hwang Bo-gak stepped on the ground, the ground shook as if there had been an earthquake.
A fist that fills the air.
The White Bone Demon Emperor, who was frantically swinging his sword in response, suddenly bent his back.
It seemed that the internal injuries had worsened due to the excessive fighting that caused him to vomit out a lot of blood.
Sigh!
I didn’t miss the opportunity and plunged my sword into his back.
The energy that flowed through the sword stirred the bloodstream in the White Bone Demon Emperor’s body as it pleases.
“Turn it off.”
A fatal blow.
The White Bone Demon Emperor kneeled down helplessly.
Lights of astonishment, despair, and resignation appeared one after another on Sima Xuhuan’s face.
“Whoa.”
“It’s over.”
It was the moment when everyone thought it had been resolved.
Quaaaang!
A man appeared in a vacant lot, drinking heavily.
I turned around to the source of the noise a little later and ended up with a blank expression on my face at the sight that made me doubt my eyes.
“……uh?”
Something shapeless hits you in the stomach before you even realize the situation.
Even though I instinctively raised my self-defense weapon, the heavy shock was felt right down to my bones.
I couldn’t even scream and flew away, landing roughly on a nearby rock.
“Gagging!”
I couldn’t come to my senses.
The pain was painful, but the surprise was even greater.
I began to doubt whether the scene I saw just a moment ago was real.
I made eye contact with the man who had attacked me with bloodshot eyes.
A man wearing a black long robe was standing trampling on Hwang Bo-hoon’s head.
‘Is he dead?’
Hwang Bo-hoon’s new model was deeply embedded in the ground.
Seeing that he didn’t move, it seemed like he had been ambushed and died instantly.
Although they
attempted to take advantage of the confusion over what was going on, they never intended to eliminate him in this way.
I couldn’t figure out why the man in front of me was here.
Even when I looked hard, I couldn’t see the man’s face clearly.
His features looked blurry, as if there was fog.
“I guess I’m a little late.”
The black man looked down at the fallen White Bone Demon Emperor and clicked his tongue once.
When he lightly gestured, Sima Xuhuan’s new form floated into the air.
It was an amazing feat.
It is not a light object, but a strong adult man is lifted up in the air.
While he was saying this, Samasegeju, who had been moved behind the man in black, blinked, unable to understand the situation.
“Who are you!”
Hwang Bo-gak exploded with Lion’s Roar.
Although he was enraged by Gasol’s death, he did not rush in blindly, perhaps because he instinctively realized that the man in black was not usually a dangerous person.
The man in black, who glanced at him, looked back at me.
Then, a sound penetrates my ears.
-Did you say it was a heavenly dragon? This is my first time seeing it in person like this.
-I never thought I would meet the leader of the Demonic Cult like this.
Lord Ma.
My teacher in my past life.
A person who is at the top of all demonic cults.
A monster among monsters, worthy of being labeled the best in the world.
He appeared directly in the middle of Cheonnajimang.
“…….”
My back felt cold.
Cold sweat formed on my forehead.
I couldn’t understand the situation.
Why did Master Ma come all the way here in person?
-There was something I wanted to ask you when I met you.
-I don’t think it’s a situation for leisurely Q&A or exchange.
-Did you return to the past using our school’s sacred objects?
-……!
