Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 270
Chapter 270:
The disciples of the Huashan Sect at Yi Dae felt like they were dreaming.
It was during the day that I thought I would be killed by the demonic cultists without making a move.
However, when he came to his senses, he found that his life had been saved by a rescue team led by Cheonryong and that he was moving under their protection.
Anxiety and despair disappeared, replaced by relief and excitement.
“Look over there. “Isn’t that senior Yang Kang Johyup?”
“omg! Really. “In the whole of the central plains, the only person who uses a fishing rod made entirely of ink steel is senior Yang Gang Jo-hyeop.”
“Senior Sogeolgae also passed by a little while ago. It was said that Cheonryong Xiaohyeop also recently joined the ranks of the Hundred Great Experts… How many people at the level of the Hundred Great Experts are there here?”
The rescue team included many famous figures from Martial Arts who had only heard of them through rumors.
The Yi Dae disciples of the Hwasan School, who had devoted their time to training in the martial arts of the Four Masters since the age of ten, had never experienced anything so surprising and refreshing.
“…….”
Plum Sword Master Cheongyeong, sitting against a large tree, smiled bitterly as he swept aside the students of Ewha University who were chatting among themselves.
I thought it would be better to show a bright side like that rather than being sad while commemorating the dead executioners.
At least it won’t act as a factor in lowering the morale of allies.
‘Well, in a way, it’s a natural reaction.’
Even his students at Ewha must have known this.
It is true that the rescue team’s strength is powerful, but it is not time to feel safe yet.
The immature attitude they showed was, so to speak, a defense mechanism to shake off anxiety.
They were trying to find relief by reminding themselves that famous figures from Moorim were with them.
‘The more people are pushed into a corner, the more they cling to the light of hope and pay attention to it.’
I had no intention of blaming them.
Ever since the Plum God Sword was defeated, the disciples of Lee University have been trembling with anxiety.
Cheonpyeong Dojang and himself tried to keep the center of gravity, but it was realistically impossible for the two of them to fill the vacant position of Plum God Sword.
‘If morale goes up this way, it’s not bad either.’
Ewha University’s disciples stood up from their seats and began to look around the campground, observing what Cheongyeong Dojang was thinking.
“Kaaak!”
By the time we reached the outskirts of the campsite.
A desperate scream reached their ears.
“please! “Better kill me!”
“Damn Tang family poisonous bastards! “Do you guys have human blood flowing in your veins?”
The students of Ewha University looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
“……omg!”
One of the Ewha students’ faces turned white as he couldn’t help but look through the bushes out of curiosity.
He quickly escaped the bushes, fell down on the ground, and began to vomit out what was inside.
The surprised executioners patted him on the back and asked him.
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“……Let’s go back.”
“What on earth did you see?”
“It’s not a good thing to see. “It would be better to go home quietly and not be reckless.”
“……?”
“They say the Tang family’s torture is so cruel, but the rumors are not as true as the truth. “I never thought I would see something like that in my life.”
The young Taoist monk glanced back with a tired expression and quickly left the place.
The rest of Ewha University students followed him, tilting their heads.
* * *
“please! “This is all I know!”
As I sat on a nearby rock and watched the interrogation, I frowned slightly.
Indeed, the party song was the party song.
All kinds of torture methods that ordinary people could not even think of were unfolding before their eyes.
While the other rescuers were taking care of the survivors of the volcano faction, Tang family members picked up the blood swords of the fallen demon cultists and placed them on horseback.
The purpose was, of course, to dig up information.
“I really don’t know anything anymore!”
The cry of a demonic cultist mixed with a scream.
The arrogant appearance he had when he first came to consciousness had completely disappeared.
The half-melted face due to the fire poison gave the viewer a strange feeling.
‘I expected it to some extent.’
I thought there was no way the Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor would just let the rescue team go.
In particular, the Blood Flower Witch had a persistent personality that was second to none in the Demonic Cult.
However, the two absolute masters did not show up until the rescue team secured the volcano sect’s disciples and escaped the siege.
As someone who had memories of my past life, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort.
I was convinced that there was something up there.
That’s why I intensively questioned the captured demons about this.
‘They trapped the rescue team in a net using the survivors of the volcanic faction as bait.’
The information obtained was only fragmentary, but it was enough to infer the situation.
The captured demonic cultist said this.
Immediately after the rescue team set foot in Lanju, the Blood Flower Witch issued a summons to the demons spread throughout Gansu.
In short, it meant that they were gathering all their strength to ensure the destruction of the main force of the rescue team.
‘I was aiming for this from the beginning.’
The Blood Flower Witch and the Pungcheon Demon Emperor were probably camped near the border of Lanju and White Silver by now, waiting for a rescue team.
Lanju is an area adjacent to the west, but due to topographical problems, it was not possible to move through it in a straight line.
In the end, the rescue team had to travel via Baekun in order to return to Baekmakmun.
The enemy’s aim was right here.
‘The fact that even the lowest level of Demonic Cultists knew the general outline of the operation meant that the Blood Witch did not feel the need to proceed with the plan in secret.’
The expression of knowingly suffering something is probably used in times like these.
In any case, the rescue team, whose top priority was to rescue Plum God Sword, had no choice.
Even the Blood Flower Witch knows this, which is why she created this kind of precipitation.
‘That’s a pain in the ass.’
The faces of the Germans cleaning up after the interrogation were dark.
The anxiety they were feeling was conveyed through the atmosphere.
‘They said it was in the middle of Mt. Cheopcheop.’
The journey so far has not been smooth at all.
When he passed through Jeongseong and Baekun, traitors grabbed his ankles, and after he set foot in Lanju, he frequently clashed with demonic cultists.
In the process, several casualties occurred.
After much struggle, we secured the survivors of the volcanic faction and guess what?
Now, the demonic cultists from all over Gansu have flocked in and they have to break through the even thicker Cheonnaji net.
‘Still, this is within the scope of calculation.’
It was not for nothing that excessive force was put into the first unit of the rescue team.
No matter how thick the siege network was, this number of personnel would have been enough to break through.
“Small cooperative.”
Dang Seo-yeon, who had organized the torture instruments and stored them away in her arms, approached me and spoke to me.
I stood up, shaking the dirt off my clothes, and made eye contact with her with a smile on my face.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“What do you plan to do?”
“Breakthrough one point. In the end, what this side has to do is the same. “The risk has just increased slightly.”
“…….”
“You don’t have to worry too much. “No matter how strong a siege network is, there are bound to be weak points.”
Of course, I felt anxious too.
However, it could not be revealed in front of the rescuers.
If I show myself shaking here, those who witness it will also be affected.
“Take a good rest. “As soon as the sun rises, we will move.”
“All right.”
* * *
A command barracks built on the border of Lanju and Baekun.
“The Bloodslayer has been defeated again?”
“yes. “It is said that he was unable to survive for less than fifty years and left.”
“This is ridiculous.”
The Blood Witch, who heard her subordinate’s report, muttered with an absurd expression.
‘No matter what, that’s true.’
A person who is as good as a master of Hwa-gyeong could not withstand fifty sums against a single late Ji-soo.
Does this make any sense?
‘Should I really say that he is a talent that the Bungcheon Demon Emperor is wary of?’
The Blood Witch smiled, moistening her lips with her tongue.
A young and strong man.
Isn’t this a person who possesses all three preferred elements?
How special vitality does Cheonryong, who is famous throughout the central region, possess?
I already felt excited.
Just imagining it made my back tingle.
“What about the Black Death Squadron?”
“I arrived at midnight yesterday.”
The strengthening of the siege was progressing smoothly.
So that not a single ant can escape.
‘The movements of the rescue team are also being reported periodically.’
Maybe it’s a small unit.
With over a hundred people crowding around, it couldn’t go unnoticed.
He had a keen understanding of the enemy’s movements.
‘With this, preparations are made to annihilate the first unit of the rescue team.’
In the end, there was only one option for the rescue team to choose from.
The best thing to do is to aim for the thinner part of the siege net.
‘But here, there is me and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor. There are several excellent experts who are on par with the members of the rescue team. Even if the Heavenly Dragon and the Poison King fight, there is no way they can hold out.’
I could tell.
The rescue team would never be able to break through the siege and escape.
Unless special variables occur.
After finishing the report, the subordinate leaves the place.
“Hmm. hmm.”
The Blood Flower Witch, who was humming and grooming herself, suddenly raised her head.
A black seal appeared behind her reflection in the body mirror.
‘Tsk.’
The Blood Witch clicked her tongue in her heart and looked back, frowning.
Among the demonic cultists who flocked to the camp built here in Yujunghyeon, there was only one person who was able to deceive his spirit and get close.
“Please at least show some signs. “It’s hard on the girl’s heart.”
The male Bungcheon Demon Emperor opened his mouth, hearing the Blood Flower Witch’s protest in one ear.
“Where is the rescue team now?”
“They said it collided with Hyogakdae the night before.”
“We will arrive here in three days at the latest.”
“We are fully prepared. “I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
“Don’t let your guard down. “This is not someone you can look down on.”
“I don’t know how many times I hear that phrase.”
“…….”
Two men and women staring at each other.
A strange confrontation occurred.
Just as the Bungcheon Demon Emperor did not like the Blood Flower Witch, the Blood Flower Witch also did not have any good feelings toward the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.
It was then.
A man hurriedly ran into the barracks.
It was Daeju Seonhwa who had finished reporting a little while ago and left the barracks.
“Demon Lord! “We’re in big trouble!”
“What are you making such a fuss about?”
“They say a rescue team has arrived!”
“It’s when reports come in about their location. Where did they say they are now?”
“It’s the northern part of Goran County! “They say the prisoners stationed nearby are engaged in combat!”
“……what?”
“What do you mean! “How did they get there already?”
“I can’t believe it either, but it’s true! “It is said that the siege in the area is on the verge of collapse!”
The Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor both looked blank at the unexpected report.
It was literally like a ghost crying.
How on earth did these people who were discovered in Yeongdeung County the night before appear on the outskirts of Goran County in just half a day?
Did you at least learn the grounding method as a group?
The Blood Witch shouted, stamping her feet nervously.
“Tell them to stop them at all costs!”
