Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 272

“Take it.”

“Thank you.”

Cheongmyeong Dojang, an elder of the Jeomchang sect, accepted the Somyeongdan (小明丹) that I handed over with a puzzled expression.

The plan worked out well and we were able to break through the siege safely, but the process was by no means smooth.

Several rescue team members, including Cheongmyeong Dojang, suffered major and minor injuries on the way here.

Normally, I would have had time to treat my wounds and take care of my body with fortune-telling techniques, but the current rescue team did not have that time.

After completing the minimum first aid, we had to move again immediately.

This was the reason why the precious names were being handed out to the injured.

Leaving behind the Taoists of the Jeomchang Sect.

Purr!

I approached the horse that was tied to a nearby tree and stroked its neck.

As I quietly stared at the horse barking roughly, I let out a small sigh.

It wasn’t just humans who were exhausted and injured.

In the process of escaping from White Silver, more than half of the horses would probably be left behind.

“Are you okay?”

The old man approached me without any sign and asked in a voice filled with worry.

It was Dang Sang-jin, the king of the Taesang family of the Sacheon Dang family.

“yes. “I’m fine.”

“Didn’t you put too much strain on yourself by leading the group as the leader of the rescue team?”

“I’m not really injured and there’s no particular problem. I am rather worried about the head of the Taesang family. Yonsei is Yonsei, isn’t it? “I feel bad because I feel like they are forcing me into an unreasonable schedule.”

“Who is worried about whom?”

Dang Sang-jin burst out laughing.

Contrary to what he said, he didn’t look that upset.

Let’s spend some time making small talk.

In a confident voice, I ordered the rescuers to go horseback riding.

As the followers of the Sacheon branch walked around and collected food, the warriors stood up from their seats with tired expressions.

Doo doo doo doo!

More than a hundred horses running, raising a cloud of dust.

From now on, there was no operation or anything.

From Gyeongtae County (景泰县) to Huening County (会宁县).

I had to run in a straight line and get out of the silver as quickly as possible.

Depending on how fast you move, it will be determined whether or not you can break through the siege network built by the demons.

* * *

Kwazijic!

Shards of the broken table flew everywhere.

After hearing her subordinate’s report, the Blood Flower Witch could not hold back her anger and slammed her fist down.

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor, who was watching the scene, clicked his tongue.

I know you’re angry because the strategy you confidently proposed failed, but why should you lose your composure in front of your subordinates?

I feel this once again, but the Blood Witch was not worthy of standing above others.

‘Well, I’m also embarrassed.’

Honestly, I never thought I would be stabbed in the back like this.

I never would have thought that the contact network using snow lions could be used in reverse.

The gathering of the demonic cultists spread throughout Gansu in Lanzhou was virtually the same as giving up on pursuing the remaining survivors except for Plum God Sword.

In other words, in order to make sure to catch the larger rabbit, he let go of the other rabbit without any hesitation.

But what is the current situation?

It became unclear whether the elaborately prepared nets would even be able to stop their escape, let alone trap them.

‘If I’m not careful, I might miss two birds with one stone.’

What if the rescue team escapes the siege and returns to Sacheon?

I could guarantee that the Blood Witch and myself would be in big trouble.

How on earth would you report the true situation to the religious leader?

“Fucking hell!”

The Blood Flower Witch, who was chewing her nails with a nervous expression, suddenly kicked off her chair and sat up.

Emperor Fengcheon frowned and asked her.

“What do you plan on doing?”

“Isn’t it possible to just sit still like this? We need to buy time until the siege is complete again. “I will personally lead a small group of elites and try to slow down the movement of the rescue team.”

Emperor Bungcheon, who was leaning against the backrest and rubbing his chin, nodded slowly.

Although it seems like a decision made out of emotion, the Blood Witch’s judgment itself was not bad.

“Let’s go together.”

“Are you serious? “If even the Demon Army is absent, who will take command of the main unit?”

“There won’t be any problem. As it has been until now.”

“……what do you mean?”

“You’re not asking because you really don’t know, right? Until now, hasn’t the actual leadership of the troops been left to Grand Master Seonhwa? “Am I mistaken?”

The Blood Flower Witch’s mouth was tightly shut at the remark that seemed like a murderer’s wit.

It was just as Bungcheon Demon Emperor said.

Even if she, who was only a nominal commander, was absent, the unit would run smoothly without any problems.

“The rescue team includes many outstanding experts. “No matter how absolute an expert you are, there will be limits to how you can deal with them alone.”

“…….”

“And it would be better for two absolute masters to move alone than to carry around unnecessary subordinates. “It will increase mobility.”

“Oh my, the day is coming when I will carry out a mission alone with Demon Army. “The girl’s heart is racing.”

The Blood Witch placed her hand on her chest and smiled seductively.

A gesture that seems to provoke the opponent.

The Demon Emperor of Fengcheon glared at her with a disdainful expression and warned her.

“If you say any more nonsense than that, I will rip out your tongue.”

“You say scary things so casually. But do you have the ability to do that?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do.”

The air inside the barracks became heavy due to the nervous battle between the two absolute experts.

Daeju Seonhwa, who was watching, quietly took a step back and widened the distance between the two people.

“…….”

Emperor Pengcheon glanced sideways in the direction of Lord Seonhwa and gritted his teeth.

He nervously got up from his seat and quickly walked past the Blood Witch and left the barracks.

The Blood Witch snorted and followed suit.

‘Whoa.’

Grand Master Seonhwa, who was left alone, sighed heavily and muttered to himself.

‘I can’t live up to my name.’

* * *

Around the time I passed Gyeongtae-hyeon and entered Jeongwon-hyeon.

The rescue team was suddenly attacked by two demons who appeared from the side.

“Huh!”

“Who… ugh!”

One of the disciples of the Cheonghyeol Daomun screamed and fell from his horse.

The rescuers looked shocked as they saw him die instantly, having been pierced through the heart before he had time to utter a warning.

Quaaaang!

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang rang out.

The Poison King and I released strong energy at the same time and attacked the attacker.

When the dust cleared and I saw the attacker’s face, I cursed under my breath.

‘In the end, you decided to take the risk and come forward yourself.’

There was an unforgettable face there.

An outstanding beauty that is not at all inferior to that of Cheonhwacheonnyeo (天花天女), who is said to be the most beautiful woman in Sichuan.

A revealing outfit that would only be worn by dancers performing at a giru.

Gorgeous jewelry worn on arms and legs.

Both hands engulfed in white energy, as if to prove that the subject is a practitioner of Sosu Gong (素手功).

Finally, the Blood Witch appeared in front of the rescue team.

Next to it, Bungcheon Horse Festival was also located.

‘I thought it would be a little later that we would have a conflict.’

It didn’t take long to understand the situation.

It seemed that the two absolute masters moved directly to buy time for the siege to be completed.

There was no time to hesitate.

I jumped from the saddle, kicked into the air, and fired the weapon straight at the Blood Flower Witch.

The two absolute masters should not have been allowed to run wild.

Let’s go!

The hand, engulfed in white energy, repeatedly touched and fell off the damro, creating an unpleasant friction sound.

“like!”

The Blood Witch’s eyes looked young.

Licking his lips with his tongue and smiling, it was like seeing a wild animal that had found its prey.

I frowned and unfurled the Wolyeonggeom.

April, the twelfth herbivorous month.

The illusion of a sword fluttering like a dance obscured the Blood Witch’s vision.

At the same time, powerful members of the rescue team, led by Jangjiang Johyeop and Sogeogae, attacked her.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

Before we knew it, Tang Sangjin was entangled with Bungcheon Demon Emperor and engaged in a fierce battle.

“Aaaah!”

Sogeolgae throws a series of violent attacks while letting out a cry that is hard to tell whether it’s a scream or a scream.

The moment he discovered the Blood Witch’s appearance, he completely lost his senses.

“Die, witch!”

Is it too much to do to continuously perform powerful herbivorous attacks?

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Phew!

The ground turned over and dust rose up.

I instinctively felt a sense of danger and immediately kicked off the ground and jumped up.

Although I couldn’t see it, I could clearly tell that the Blood Witch was targeting me first, leaving other warriors behind.

wickedness!

A lump of sharp force grazed my sleeve.

The Blood Witch, who broke through the dust, burst out laughing and swung both hands bent like pitchforks.

‘You must not avoid it.’

It was a similar situation to the previous battle with Bungcheon Magic Bakery at Baekmakmun.

If you were distracted by the attack rushing in front of you, your whole body would be ravaged by the imitative energy that was secretly moving around.

‘I receive it with my body.’

I curled up like a bug and tried to defend myself.

We did not forget to form a membrane of brain energy to cover the surface.

Quaaaang!

A tremendous shock hit my body.

Even though I was preparing for it, a loud noise came out of my mouth.

‘Big! At least this much!’

I gritted my teeth and did a somersault to regain my balance.

In a fight with an absolute expert, one wrong decision could result in death.

If he had tried to avoid or fight back, he would have been seriously injured.

“dare!”

“Are you ignoring us?”

The rescue team’s warriors attacked the Blood Witch as if they had been waiting for her.

Each and every herbivore they manifested contained a power that could not be downplayed.

The Blood Flower Witch countered that by turning over in the air with an annoyed expression on her face.

‘There is no need to be scared. There are two over there and over a hundred people over here. ‘The military superiority is here.’

The situation was different from when I faced the vampire with Bangcheoksam before.

Among the rescue party was the Poison King.

There were five masters at the level of 100 great masters, and there were more than ten masters who had reached the peak of maturity.

It was a force that was enough to predict victory even against the two armies of eight great demons.

The energy that had been swaying along the surface of the sword rose and took on a clear shape.

Quang!

The sword that was released hit the back of the Blood Witch, who was covered in self-defense weapons.

“…….”

The Blood Witch turned her head and my gaze met in the air.

The moment I saw the blood witch’s narrow, curved eyes, I felt goosebumps rising on my back.

I felt a sense of déjà vu.

I remember receiving a similar type of gaze before.

That’s exactly the look the vampire demon had on me when he looked at me in Guizhou.

They were openly treating people like gourmet food out of fear that they might be practitioners of Sosu Gong.

‘You damned old man.’
