Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 373

Episode 373

“Master. “I received a call from the member who was monitoring the Baeksong Guest House.”

“What did you say?”

“They say a big fight broke out. “The entire outbuilding collapsed and there were numerous casualties.”

“…They said they would handle it quietly, but it looks like things went wrong. “What about the Sword King?”

“You’re safe. “He suffered some injuries, but they don’t seem to affect his movement.”

Report from the masked man.

The male Sosalma-kun clicked his tongue and stood up from his seat.

I knew there was a high chance of failure, but I still had some hopes.

Because the person who went to carry out the operation was one of the most powerful men in the school.

“I’m sure Ma-kun will be safe, right?”

“yes. It is said that he somehow escaped through the siege. The location has not been confirmed, but seeing as the Namgung family has not stopped the search, it is safe to assume that he is still safe.

“Then there will be no problem. “He is not the kind of person who can be caught up in searches conducted by low-ranking soldiers.”

Cheoljonghu, the absolute master and white-faced god of death, who occupied the first place in the eight great demon armies.

As can be seen from the title, he was a man with many faces.

If he was good at disguise, he would have returned to the unit on his own even if he did not have to be rescued.

‘As expected, it was impossible to eliminate the Sword King with a plan that came up on the spot.’

Sosalma sighed softly and looked out the window.

A city bathed in darkness.

He was quietly lost in thought, looking at the passers-by, then suddenly spoke.

“It would be better to move the location first.”

“yes?”

“Don’t make me say it twice. “Summon the crew immediately.”

“All right.”

“Don’t let your guard down. The place we are currently in is the territory of the martial arts faction. No matter how secretly you move, there is always a chance that your presence will be discovered. Like right now.”

After finishing speaking, Sosalma suddenly stretched out his index finger.

The released strength disappears across a deserted alley.

Pow!

Blood spurted out along with an eerie crashing sound.

The fallen mirror rolled across the floor and appeared in the passage.

“…!”

The masked person opened his eyes wide.

I can’t believe I noticed the presence of a watcher so far away.

What was even more surprising was the power of the martial arts that Sosalmagun had learned.

I had never heard of the existence of a technique for striking a target from a distance of about seventy feet.

He seemed to have chosen an unrivaled new skill and learned it, fearing that he might be a disciple of the sect leader.

Sosalma-kun, withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, spoke in a cool tone.

“Let’s get rid of the rats first before moving.”

* * *

Unofficial unit.

A dark department under the Cheonan Inspector General, created mainly by former members of the inspection department and members of the law enforcement party.

Before reinforcements were organized, they were first dispatched to Hubei.

It was a natural measure since this was a unit created to be utilized in times like these.

‘Sosalmagun.’

As I was pondering the news Sawooyeon had delivered, I quietly placed my hand on the sword.

Jang Baek-hwan, the Laughing Demon Lord.

The second disciple of the Demon Cultist.

The enemy who drove me to death in my past life.

Part of me wanted to throw away everything, including reinforcements, and attack the guesthouse alone where the Sosalma Army had been discovered, but I decided to hold on for now.

Should we be so blinded by personal favors that we forget our role as commanders?

‘If you act hastily, things won’t work out.’

I knew the man named Sosalma very well.

In a sense, he was a more dangerous person than Cheonakgun.

Just because he was a lowly warrior, he shouldn’t have just attacked him.

There was no way he would confront me honestly.

He was a person who knew how to use the people around him better than anyone else.

In the first place, the reason I met death in my past life was not because I was less incompetent than the Sosalma army.

‘Rather than chasing Sosalma-kun from my side, we should bring him into the stage we have created.’

For that purpose, we prepared a piece of chess in advance.

A very desirable bait named Seo Gun-ak, the fourth disciple of the demonic cult known to be dead, the Iron Blood Demon Lord.

I looked up at the night sky and was lost in thought for a while.

I turned my head in response to the sign of popularity I felt behind me.

“Is there a problem.”

“There is something I would like to tell you in advance before arriving in Hubei.”

The identity of the woman who quietly approached the side was none other than Zhuge Hye.

I motioned for her to take a seat and said,

“Please speak.”

“There is no particularly important business. I just have one very personal worry that doesn’t fit the current situation. But I think I should tell you in advance…”

“You don’t have to feel so burdened. It’s not like there’s a problem with talking about something personal. Please speak comfortably.”

“You said you had met my sister before.”

“yes.”

As I nodded and answered, I thought back to the time I met an earth dragon in the past.

To be honest, I didn’t have a very good impression of him.

‘He was an unpredictable person in many ways.’

[I heard a story about the branch manager from my sister before.]

[……So you’re telling me that Sojeok Zhuge Hye talked about me?]

Because of what he said at the time, I was more wary of Zhuge Hye than necessary for a while. did.

A man who naturally incorporates lies into his words, even in meaningless everyday conversations.

It was inevitable that it would be difficult to be fond of such a person.

“It is possible, but my younger brother could be rude to the manager.”

“What does it mean?”

I tilted my head at the incomprehensible story.

The earth dragon might be rude to me.

It’s true that I didn’t have a good impression of him, but I don’t remember expressing it outwardly.

No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for him to be hostile towards me.

“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that my younger brother has any ill feelings toward the manager. “In fact, it’s the opposite.”

“……?”

“Maybe because he was trained to be the head of the family from an early age, my younger brother has one bad habit. “Whenever he is interested in something, he always acts as if he is testing the other person.”

“So, are you saying that the Earth Dragon Sohyeop is interested in me?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s a test. “It can certainly feel rude to those who are affected.”

“I warned him several times, but he had such a self-centered personality that he didn’t want to fix it.”

“I know what you’re trying to say.”

“Of course, he’s not a child who can’t discern between right and wrong, so he won’t cause a big problem. However, I was worried that the manager’s feelings would be hurt…”

“You can laugh off mild rudeness. “Don’t worry too much.”

“If your brother has an accident, please tell me. “I will give you a harsh scolding.”

I laughed inwardly.

In other words, even if his younger brother made a mistake, he was asking for forgiveness for himself.

I thought she must have had a hard time because of her younger brother who had a strange personality.

‘I’m sorry to say that.’

I was the type of person who had to repay what was done to me in order to relieve my anger.

He said he would tolerate a little rudeness like a big man, but his intentions were different.

If the earth dragon crosses the line, Zhuge family’s cow will not let it go, no matter what.

‘Well, you can decide how to respond based on the situation.’

* * *

The Wudang faction of Wudang Mountain, Hubei Province.

Jain Dojang, an elder of the shaman sect, drew a calm smile on his face as he looked around at the shamans lined up in the training hall.

He gathered all the elites of the sect, including Shaman Chilgeom (武當七劍).

It wasn’t just that.

Hundreds of lay disciples came forward to help the shaman sect.

Currently, the lodgings and guesthouses of Gyeonhyeon (均縣) were suffering from measles due to the influx of warriors from all over the country.

‘The Dragon King’s name is certainly worth it.’

Even a martial arts person who risked his life with a single sword could not help but feel afraid of war.

However, as soon as the news that the Dragon King was coming with reinforcements spread, all of the disciples of Lakga who had been paying attention expressed their intention to participate in the war.

‘Everything is ready.’

I don’t know how big the Demonic Cult’s army is, but this number of troops would be enough to defeat them.

After giving a long speech to boost the morale of the disciples.

Jain Dojang took the lead and left the mountain gate.

The Taoist monks of the Shaman faction began to descend the mountain to head to the gathering place.

How far did it travel like that?

A young disciple jumped up from below and shouted.

“Elder! “We’re in big trouble!”

“What’s going on?”

“Hwagangmun (花岡門) is under attack by demonic cultists!”

“Granite door?”

Hwagangmun was one of the strongest sects in Hubei and was located in an area adjacent to the northern front.

Zain Dojang nodded with a serious expression.

“The full-scale invasion has finally begun. “What is the scale of the enemy?”

“They say it was only a small unit that showed up! However, it appears that the person at the head of them is the Demon Emperor of Fengtian!”

“Bungcheon Demon Emperor!”

Shock erupted from everywhere.

The emergence of an absolute master who holds the top spot in the eight great demon armies.

It was enough news to shake up the middle class.

“We should hurry.”

The seal, who muttered softly, took the step he had stopped taking.

It was only a matter of time before the granite door collapsed.

We had to quickly join up with Zhuge Segal and solidify our defense line.

If time was delayed, the damage would increase exponentially.

‘It would be good if reinforcements arrived in time.’

* * *

Hwagang Gate in Yunseo County, Hubei Province.

Wow!

Bungcheon Demon Emperor, a man who lightly stretched out his fist and knocked down a granite door, sighed and bent his neck.

‘I don’t know how my situation ended up like this.’

It all started because he failed to properly carry out Ma Jyoju’s orders to persuade Sima Seju.

Currently, he was serving as a general under the command of Cheonakgun, the first disciple of the Demonic Cult.

‘Damn it.’

It’s been a long time since I had such a humiliating experience.

It couldn’t be a truly unreasonable world.

I can’t believe I’m old and have to be the hand and foot of this young guy.

‘There is no choice. Once this battle is over, we will be able to return to our original position, so we have no choice but to endure for now.’

Quaaaang!

Every time he punched, the air exploded with a loud noise.

The Hwagangmundo were knocked out of the ground by the powerful blow that flew through the air.

Overwhelming inaction.

The master of Hwagangmun, who had set out to buy time for his disciples to escape, had long since passed away.

“…….”

The backs of the Taoists who had lost their will to fight and ran away came into view.

‘Most of the main forces except Hwagangmunju have already escaped. ‘He must have foreseen this situation to some extent.’

This was just a preliminary battle.

The real fight started now.

‘Did you say that the Dragon King is coming to Hubei with reinforcements?’

I was well aware of the dangers of a man named Yeon-woon.

I also still felt that I had to cut the buds off before they could grow any further.

‘He may have reached the prefectural level, but he may not have completely achieved it yet. ‘Maybe this is my last chance to kill him.’

bang! Kwagwabang! Boom!

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor continues to swing his fists with murderous intent.

A desperate scream echoed throughout the area.
