Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 393

‘It feels different.’

This was the fourth time using a bomber.

The first time was to punish the second death penalty that led to my death in my previous life.

Next, to break through the illusionary camp set up in front of Gija Cheon’s secret building.

Most recently, four years ago, to deal with the absolute expert Blood Flower Witch, who occupied the top spot in the eight great demon armies.

‘There’s definitely a difference from four years ago.’

A time when I was lying in a hospital bed after receiving a diagnosis from a doctor that I would have to focus on recovery for six months.

As I reminisced about the fight with the Blood Witch, one possibility came to mind.

If your level rises and your body grows to another level.

If you can handle the amplified energy without difficulty and calm down the boiling energy on your own.

Wouldn’t it be possible to use Pokyammagong without worrying about side effects?

‘You can control it.’

As he ascended to the prefectural level, his physical performance improved to an incomparable level compared to before.

If it were me now, it would be possible to minimize the recoil of the bomb attack and significantly increase its duration.

If I pushed a little too hard, I felt like I could use the second half of Wolyeonggeom’s herbal attack.

There was no longer a need to insist on the ignorant and monotonous strategy of pushing forward only with force.

‘but.’

It is still too early to stop worrying about side effects.

Whether or not one could survive could only be judged after the fight was over.

Of course, you should worry more about whether you can defeat the demonic lord in front of you right now, rather than about the reaction of the magic attack.

[Yes, I made that decision in the end.]

There was no way the leader didn’t know that I had mastered the magic technique.

The church members must have reported the circumstances under which the Blood Flower Witch met her death.

However, he threatened Tang Seo-yeon in front of me.

Although he could have stopped breathing in an instant, he deliberately took his time as if showing off.

As if they were trying to get me to make an extreme choice.

What it meant was clear.

The religious leader had absolute confidence.

I am confident that even if I were to use gold, I would be able to subdue him.

‘I’d say it’s arrogance, but the leader is a person with the ability to do so.’

I knew he was strong.

There could be no other person to whom the title ‘the best in the world’ fits so well.

Neither the two nobles of the martial faction nor even my teacher, the Thunder King, were his opponents.

‘…I never thought it would be like this.’

Is it true that when you climb to a high place, the scenery you see changes?

I was able to feel it more clearly because I was operating a bomber.

The endless strength of the Demon Cultist.

A huge sphere of influence spread out around him.

“this guy!”

“How dare you offend the religious leader!”

Several demonic cultists rushed at me, shouting in anger.

I kept walking without even looking at them.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

A tremendous explosion engulfed the new form of the demons.

A body torn apart.

Flesh and blood splattered everywhere.

Suddenly, the soldiers around them started screaming in surprise.

The distance from the Demon Cultist has become closer.

I stood facing him with a length of space between me.

“come. “I will give in to the player.”

“I will not decline.”

As soon as I finished speaking, I kicked the ground with my toe.

The inner energy that came out of the dantian and circulated in the body’s blood flow channel was erupted through Yongcheonhyeol (湧泉穴), adding to the driving force.

When I started using Geumgong, time was not on my side.

We had to come to a conclusion as quickly as possible.

“Sounds like fun.”

The sword energy flowing along the blade of Geogwol rose up and took on a clear shape.

Then, a white electric current was overlaid on the surface.

The sword contained a force that even surprised oneself.

The fourth herbivorous month (斬月).

The sword strike, whose power was greatly amplified through the use of special internal power, fell on the head of the Demon Cultist.

The moment when the sword touches the right hand raised lightly by Ma Gyoju.

Crumbling!

Everything in sight was split in half.

The land behind the cult is inhabited by demonic cultists.

Everyone was cut off cleanly along the sword road.

A slash that cuts through a distance of over sixty pieces.

The demonic cultists, who realized what had happened a little too late, froze in place.

Some people dropped their swords from their hands, while others sat down as their legs gave out.

“ha ha ha.”

An old magician looked back at me and let out an inexplicable laugh.

There was a fear that could not be hidden in those eyes.

Because all the warriors around us stopped moving, it felt as if time had stopped around me and the Demon Cultist.

“indeed. “It’s outstanding in terms of power.”

Even though he received a sword strike that was as powerful as heaven and earth, there was not a single scratch on the Demon Cultist’s body.

The demonic lord pushed away the blade of his sword and forced me to step back, then slowly and forcefully pressed his outstretched right hand toward the ground.

Coo coo coo coo!

A terrible pressure pressed down on my body.

Something in the shape of a giant palm dug into the ground, forming a three-foot deep hole.

Its width reached a whopping twenty feet.

An ordinary warrior would have died with all the bones in his body crushed, but I, who used the bombing magic attack, was able to endure without difficulty.

“…….”

After getting out of the pit through a cloud of dust, I shook my head vigorously and shook off the pile of dirt.

From the corner of my eye, I watched Tang Seo-yeon take care of the seriously injured Cheon Ga-ryeong and escape to the rear of the group.

‘There is nothing to worry about anymore.’

He struck in a straight line towards the Demon Cultist and raised his sword to cut him down.

With countless warriors watching, the life-and-death struggle of the transcendental warriors, which will be recorded in the history of martial arts, began.

A roar as if the sky was collapsing echoed throughout the battlefield.

* * *

‘……Unrang.’

Seo-yeon Dang muttered, looking as if she was about to burst into tears.

It was not difficult to see how Yeon-yeon, who was dying, was fighting on equal footing with the Demon Cultist.

‘The gold ball was used again. ‘No other than to save myself.’

Currently, he was burning his life.

Just like when there was a bloody battle with the Blood Witch in the past.

‘I promised myself that I would never be his burden again.’

A trickle of blood flowed from his clenched mouth.

There was no time to get lost in sentimentality.

He had to put his regrets aside and do his own thing for now.

‘You jumped into that situation to save me.’

Cheon Ji-ryeong’s condition was not unusual.

A wound so deep that the bones are visible.

I didn’t know that if I didn’t provide proper first aid, my life would be lost before I could even take him to the doctor.

‘I’m sorry, little brother. Please be patient.’

Tang Seo-yeon took out a small bottle from her bosom.

The bleeding could not be stopped using ordinary methods.

First, the affected area had to be opened.

Of course, it was impossible to find wood and make a fire in the middle of the battlefield.

However, there was no time to go to the friendly camp and take action.

There is only one way.

The only way to do this was to use fire poison and then neutralize it with antidote.

It was too risky to treat a patient whose life was in danger, but there was no other option.

Chi-ik!

The smell of cooking meat spread.

The unconscious body of Cheon Ga-ryeong trembled.

Dang Seo-yeon holds back the rising nausea and sprays herbal medicine at the right moment.

Geumchang medicine was applied and the wound was stitched with a needle.

Then he took off the clothes he was wearing and tore off the clean part.

First aid was completed only after covering the affected area with a cloth.

“ha.”

Dang Seo-yeon let out the breath she had been holding and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

For now, we have passed the dangerous juncture.

There would be some aftereffects, but I thought that as long as I took good follow-up measures, my life would be fine.

She carefully picked up Cheon Ga-ryeong’s body and started running towards the friendly barracks where the congressman was waiting.

‘You can’t die. Brother.’

A conversation she had with Cheon Ji-ryeong in the past passed through her mind.

[I’ll nail it down for sure. I will achieve the future I want with my own hands. I don’t need your consideration in that process.]

[…….]

[I’ll pretend I didn’t hear the story.]

I haven’t even properly apologized for what happened back then.

He hurt her with his selfish remarks, and instead of coming to a proper conclusion, he only dragged out his time.

I couldn’t help but regret it.

I could never have felt my indecisiveness so pathetic.

‘I still have a lot of things I want to say to you.’

The relationship she built with Cheon Ji-ryeong was very precious to Tang Seo-yeon.

A review of a friend of the same age who had his first strong performance.

Although he was said to be a younger brother, in reality, he was closer to a friend.

She was one of the few people with whom Tang Seo-yeon could talk openly.

‘So you must live.’

Kwaaaaang!

Even though we were getting farther and farther away from the battlefield, the noise in our ears was getting louder.

It meant that the fight between Yeonsun and Ma Cyoju was intensifying.

Tang Seo-yeon glanced back and prayed earnestly in her heart.

‘Please be safe. ‘Unlang.’

* * *

The heart of the ruins located inside the tomb.

Staring at the demonic cultists crossing the wide and long hallway, Wu Ga-jin pulled out the curved sword strapped to his back.

“Wouldn’t it be better to attack now?”

“Can we fight head on?”

“Why do you think the Cheonan Inspector assigned me to the infiltration team?”

Woo Ga-jin smiles, showing her teeth.

The young man, Zhuge Hyukjin, nodded lightly in agreement.

The man in front of me is a man of ability who has reached the absolute heights.

Just by his presence, the infiltration team’s power could be seen as greatly exceeding that of the enemy.

If we took advantage of surprise, we could minimize the damage that would occur during the battle.

‘It’s only a matter of time before the demons we defeated on the way here are discovered. The situation needs to be resolved as quickly as possible. ‘There is no reason to hesitate when the conditions are met.’

After exchanging signals with glances, the members of the infiltration team all ran out of the passage and attacked the demonic cultists.

The demons, startled by the sudden attack, let out cries of astonishment.

“What are these guys!”

“Where did it come out from?”

“What on earth are those people outside doing? “I guess the battle isn’t over yet?”

“Don’t panic! Even so, it is only a minority!”

An unpleasant crashing sound filled the hallway.

The members of the infiltration team, led by Wu Ga-jin, mercilessly slaughtered the demon cultists and broke their ranks.

Did he realize the seriousness of the situation?

The two demons, who were presumed to be experts in fireworks, immediately joined the battle.

When Sa Woo-yeon saw the face of one of the dogs, her movements stopped for an instant.

“Why all of a sudden?”

Seo Ho-seon looked back at him with an anxious expression.

I don’t know why, but the atmosphere in Sawooyeon was unusual.

It was a far cry from his usual cool and calm demeanor.

Crash!

The sound of teeth grinding was eerie.

Sawooyeon, who was glaring with bloodshot eyes at the demon fighting with Woo Gajin, suddenly let out a cry that was like the roar of an animal.

“You idiot!”
