Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 452
Episode 452
‘It’s over.’
The sensation of my ribs breaking reached my fingertips.
The internal energy that flowed through the point of impact randomly disrupted the bloodstream in the devil’s body.
What decided the winner was the sword, not the sword.
He struck precisely at the moment when the opponent was distracted by the sword’s unique, flashy style.
“Wow!”
Maseon, who vomited out a handful of blood, waved his arms wide and shook me off.
He knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, and glared at me with bitter eyes.
“Don’t get too excited. “As far as the grudge is concerned, my side gets more, not less.”
“What nonsense?”
“Traces related to Wolhwajang (月華莊). “Didn’t you go around erasing it diligently?”
“…….”
Masun’s lips were tightly shut.
His pupils were shaking wildly, clearly showing his embarrassment.
“Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
“I see. Was the reason you suddenly visited Haenam Island to make arrangements left behind by a previous person?”
“From what you say, it seems like you know. “You almost ran into me.”
“What does it matter?”
“This is a strange thing. When I set foot on Haenam Island, you would have already reached land. However, it is not true if the news about me was widely spread.”
“If someone who doesn’t know hears it, they’ll think I found out your secret destination using a special method. “It’s just that it wasn’t an official visit, but you didn’t really hide your presence, right?”
“……?”
“The same goes for the pirates who were immediately subdued by you and taken to the government office.”
“ah.”
I scratched the back of my head with a sheepish expression.
It came to mind that they accepted the favor of Jeolhaegeom (絶海劍) and handed over the captured pirates to the Haenam faction.
I felt like I had a general idea of how Masun had gotten information about me.
“So, did you calm down your uncontrollable energy while you wasted time talking?”
“…Did you wait for me knowingly?”
“It’s even weirder that you don’t notice.”
I shrugged my shoulders in response as if I was asking something so obvious.
I couldn’t help but feel a sense of discomfort when the gentleman who had been talking about you and you just a moment ago suddenly started politely using the title ‘you’.
“I hate to say this, but it seems like you have no talent for acting.”
“How dare you make fun of me?”
Ma Seon grits his teeth and gets up from his seat.
The youthful spirit in his eyes became even deeper.
Teuong!
He kicked the ground hard and in the blink of an eye, he planted his fist in my face.
I retreated, leaving behind only an afterimage using the technique of Lee Hyeong-hwanwi (以形換位), and immediately swung my sword and unleashed the first attack of the Wolyeonggeom.
The twenty-fourth herbivorous month (天月).
Following the sword’s path, the remaining remnants crumbled and turned into countless energy swords.
Could it be that there was a backlash caused by the unreasonable movement of the body?
The demon ship was unable to avoid the waves of magical swords and was swept away helplessly.
‘now.’
Absolutely! Quick!
I kicked away the condensation of brain energy that had formed under my feet and accelerated explosively until I was right in front of the demon ship.
Because the aftereffects of Geomcho had not yet gone away, my clothes were torn and my skin was cracked, but I did not care.
My dry wrist was grabbed by my outstretched hand.
“…!”
Ma-seon, who was trying to swallow a black ring that felt ominous just by looking at it, looked surprised.
Absolutely!
The released brain energy completely burned the hand holding the dangling ring.
Maseon, unable to overcome the extreme pain, let out a desperate scream.
“I knew it would be like this. “Anyway, they are druggies.”
I smiled coldly and forcefully ripped off the wrist that was being grabbed.
The spilled blood soaked the floor red.
[I know more about Maseon than Sohyeop. Even if possible, there will be nothing that the small cooperatives think about.]
Before the fight begins.
What I said to Simaun was not an empty word.
I knew from a long time ago that Ma Seon was preparing a final move for Dong Gui Jin (同歸於盡).
He also predicted that the means would most likely be an elixir he had created himself.
Unlike the other eight great demons, he knew relatively much about demon ships.
Because he was one of the people I was most involved with in my past life.
“Don’t struggle too much and just leave the stage.”
Sigh!
I mercilessly cut off Masun’s neck as she tried to say something with a desperate expression.
Wouldn’t it have been better to capture him alive and get information from him?
The target wasn’t good enough for that.
It would be better if there was suffering planted in the head.
Ma Seon’s body, which had been marinated in numerous drugs, should not be taken lightly.
It was clear that if we pinpointed the demonic blood and restrained him, he would soon be released on his own.
Cutting off all of his limbs was one way, but Ma Seon was someone who could even use his body’s energy as a catalyst to self-destruct if he wanted to.
If you do it wrong, you could end up making meaningless sacrifices while trying to dig up information.
It was better to deal with it clearly than to leave any uneasiness behind.
“after.”
Fatigue suddenly set in.
As soon as we reached land, we ran all the way to Ye without stopping.
Immediately after arriving, there was a skirmish with Ma Seon.
No matter how great a master he was, if he overexerted himself like this, there was bound to be a huge backlash.
Wow!
Cheers rang out.
The warriors who formed the siege were delighted with Ma Seon’s death and chanted my name.
There were also people who raised their military flags and embraced each other.
“Sama Xiaoxiao.”
“yes.”
“I’d like to take a break first, but can I leave you to take care of the cleanup?”
“of course. “Leave the rest to me and get some rest.”
* * *
The news of Masun’s death quickly spread throughout the region.
“Did you hear the news?”
“You mean the news that Maseon was subjugated?”
“You already knew.”
“How could you not know? “All the guesthouses and residences in Gwiju are abuzz with that story.”
The people of the world could not hide their surprise.
Everyone who had even the slightest interest in the affairs of Moorim knew this.
What kind of entity is the Demon Ship?
What position did he have within the Demonic Cult and how important a role did he play?
Since the person responsible for managing and supervising the production of the Demon Cult has died, there have been frequent predictions that the expansion of the Demon Cult’s territory will be put on hold.
“They say the Dragon King himself came all the way to Gwiju.”
“I heard that the Dragon King did not lead the siege operation? “He only arrived late and finished it, and until then, the martial forces in Gwiju joined forces to tie up Maseon’s feet.”
“Huh, was there an inside story like that?”
“The interesting thing is that the two groups who were so busy biting and fighting with each other joined hands when a common enemy appeared.”
“What do you mean by two groups?”
“The martial arts union of the Baekdo Islands, including the Gwiju branch of the Murim League, and the Cheonghyeoldomun. “I heard that the emerging power, Sima Sega, mediated between the two sides.”
“It’s no big deal. “I never thought I would live to see political and political factions cooperating with each other.”
“Well, it’s not really the first time. A few years ago, the head of the Sichuan branch hired the main force of the Cheonghyeoldomun and advanced to Gansu.”
“Is that also true?”
Stories about Cheonghyeoltumun and Sima Sega were also on people’s lips countless times.
While there were some who praised Sima Yun’s performance and praised him, there were others who used this incident as an excuse to argue over what the Cheonghyeol Daomun would demand from the Baekdo martial arts team.
This was around the time when local residents’ interest reached its peak.
Two rumors struck Guizhou.
< It is hoped that the Cheonghyeol Daomun will transform into a Baekdo sect. >
< Samase's side announced that it will support and support the decision of the Cheonghyeol Daomun. > The
entire Gwiju was shaken.
Ma Seon’s death was news that felt like something from a distant world that did not have much impact on the general public.
On the other hand, the news about Cheonghyeoldomun was closely related to the daily lives of local residents.
No one knew how big the repercussions would be if the Blue Blood Demon became Baekdo.
Naturally, the Baekdo martial arts forces, who had been fighting over control with the Cheonghyeoldomun, strongly opposed it.
How can an unscrupulous group that has abandoned morality and only pursued profits have the shame to dream of turning to the white road?
However, their argument did not carry sufficient weight.
This was because the Gwiju branch of the Murim League, which was the focal point, took a step back and took a wait-and-see approach to the situation.
Over the past time, the impression of Cheonghyeoldomun has changed little by little.
To put it simply, the negative impression has now faded a lot.
Just a few years ago, the Baekdo Murim were seen as an evil group that sought to expand their territory by taking advantage of the war against the Demon Cult, but that is no longer the case.
Because my intervention changed history.
In a way, it could be said that it was natural that Guizhou branch leader Namgung Baek would not want to get involved in this situation.
If the Cheonghyeoldo clan converted to the Baekdo clan and became an affiliated sect, there would be more benefits than losses for the Murim Alliance.
Not only will local security be stabilized, but we will also be able to secure a huge amount of power.
Until now, the martial arts forces in Gwiju had been watching the Great War of True Demons from a step back.
The justification they gave so far was that they had no personnel to send to the battlefield to prevent the spread of the apostolic school in the region.
However, if the Blue Blood Daoist changes to the White Dao, that excuse will no longer work.
Although he may not be able to support it openly, Baek Namgung must have been rooting for Cheonghyeoldomun deep down.
Wasn’t the reaction from local residents negative?
It wasn’t like that at all.
Although everyone was tired of the long-standing fight between the martial arts people, the fact that Sima Sega released a statement saying that he supported the decision of Cheonghyeoldomun also played a big role.
There was no one who did not know that Qiunlong, who actually led the Sima family, was a confidant of the Dragon King.
In other words, Sima Sega’s support of the Cheonghyeol Daomun meant that the Dragon King supported the Cheonghyeol Daomun.
In Tanggeum Wurim, the value of the name of the Dragon King was comparable to that of the lord, with a little bit of exaggeration.
Even those who don’t know the issue properly will nod their heads in agreement when they hear the nickname Dragon King, so what more can I say?
In one way or another, a bad trend was formed for the vested interests in Gwiju.
Many Segawa sects spread public opinion that the Cheonghyeoldomun should not be believed, but the local residents’ response to it was lukewarm.
In addition, all the martial arts forces in Gwiju did not unanimously reject Cheonghyeoldomun.
Yun Seollin, a woman who unofficially visited the Elder Hall of the Sima family, knelt at Sima Yun’s feet and bowed her head.
Sima Yun, who had prepared a meeting prepared to have an argument, looked puzzled by the unexpected development.
“please. Please help our family.”
I was watching the scene from behind and muttered with a bewildered expression on my face.
Why is that woman acting like that all of a sudden?
