＃Episode 1033
One martial art contains at least dozens of movements and their corresponding techniques.
However, no matter what kind of martial arts you have learned, in the end, there are two ways to respond to enemy attacks.
Block or avoid.
And at this moment, the method I chose was the latter.
bang! Quad deud deuk!
A flash of light accompanied by a fierce blast strikes the ground.
The ground overturned as if there had been an earthquake and an enormous shock wave.
At least a dozen enemies were swept away in the aftermath and disappeared without a trace, but I, who only received scratches from fragments such as stone fragments, sent a chill down my spine.
‘Fast and strong.’
For a javelin fired from quite a distance, the speed and destructive power are unbelievable.
In that sense, the avoidance from earlier was not a choice for me, but rather a compulsion.
If I had responded by fighting back right away, that alone would have definitely consumed a lot of my strength.
Jeokcheongang, who was nearby, also did not know this fact.
“I already guessed it, but they definitely don’t have ordinary backgrounds.”
In a quiet voice, Jeokcheongang clenched his fists.
At the end of the direction his gaze landed on, there were four ghost horses stomping through the air toward us, each carrying their owner.
“Four. “How many people passed by us earlier?”
Although it is not as big as Qilian Mountain, the Daeseol Mountain area is also a large area.
The land under the mountain covered in light frost was vast enough to hold a large-scale battle involving a huge number of enemies and allies, and as Jeokcheon-gang and I, who broke through the enemy lines like an awl before anyone else, we killed them all. I couldn’t stop it.
Moreover, the most important thing in winning a battle was cutting off the head, not the body.
“If what I saw is correct, two.”
I recalled the loud noise and vibration that came from far away before the spear flew.
And when I guessed the direction and distance, it was… … .
“Perhaps those two guys are heading towards the Jongnam faction.”
Among our forces, which number 30,000, the Jongnam faction’s forces number only 1,000, but they are all elites of the main mountain, not secular families, and they are powerful as they have three supreme masters in their ranks.
It would be very important to stop the enemy in order to ensure victory.
“Then, including those who showed up just now, there are five.”
We already missed two, and now four have appeared.
However, according to what has been confirmed so far, there are a total of seven monsters called Death Knights, or rather, black ghosts.
I muttered softly as I adjusted the white flame.
“There is one empty seat.”
“Then the other one.”
“He must have been guarding the side of the Blood Sword Demon Army, or heading towards the Gansu martial arts people led by Sima Gong. If it’s not the latter… … .”
I spoke quietly, but there was no need for further explanation to Jeok Cheon-gang, who already knew about Sima Gong’s suspicious activities.
“Simakong, I guess that damned Sapa bastard got involved with Amcheon.”
Yes, that’s right.
It is difficult to make a definite conclusion simply because the dark spirit did not go to Sima Gong’s direction, but it cannot be denied that the possibility of betrayal is very high.
If I were the Blood Sword Demon Army, I wouldn’t send a dark demon to Sima Gong, who can already be considered an ally.
Furthermore… … .
‘With that level of power, it would be even more so.’
I stared at the dark spirits that were approaching with terrifying force.
Each carrying a sword, a sword, a spear, and a chain scythe called a scythe, they jumped over the heads of the advancing enemies and were shooting towards us.
Each and every one of them is a transcendent expert who can shake the entire city.
In addition, they cannot feel pain or emotions, and their incredible resilience is beyond that of humans.
No, they were already complete monsters.
Strange beings that no one in Moorim has ever encountered before.
“Noya.”
“There is nothing more to say.”
Quad deuk!
In the midst of this, Jeokcheongang, who smashed the head of the enemy who was charging at him with a single blow with soulless eyes, continued speaking.
“I don’t know how they turned into monsters, but just kill them until they die.”
The moment when a soft word flowed from between his lips.
Pot.
We kicked off the ground at the same time and swung and stretched out with all our might.
I see the blade of a white flame overflowing with the dark blue river, and the Jeokcheon River sees the sunrise engulfed in pure white flames.
Hahaha!
A dazzling flash of light enveloped a radius of about a dozen chapters, and the waves of fanatics that had been continuously flooding in from all directions were split apart.
No, it evaporated.
Quang! Deukdeukdeuk!
The ground shook with a roar that felt like the sky was splitting apart.
The bodies, which had been instantly burned by the terrible heat of the flames, fell apart helplessly, and were cut into pieces by spear blades and thrown away, along with weapons.
Although they were free from pain and emotion, death came equally to all of the one hundred or so enemies who had lost their lives at this moment.
And in an instant, through that gap covered with death.
Wow.
Overlaid with the energy of death like a dusky night fog, four black demons came out and attacked the Jeokcheon River.
Shoot!
The wind splits along the blade, creating terrifying pressure.
The sight of each of them occupying the north, south, east and west and striking a blow was perfectly interlocked like a sophisticated gear wheel, so there was not even a single gap.
but… … .
‘It’s clear. ‘A gap.’
Thinking in my mind, I took a step forward against the sword blade and spear blade that were reaching towards me, leaving a blurry afterimage.
Toward those two eerie flashes of light that pierced right through my neck.
I felt a chill running down my spine from the fear of death, but I struggled to maintain the unwavering confidence in my heart.
“What are you doing… … !”
And that moment when Jeokcheon River’s urgent cry rang out.
Pipit!
The corners of his mouth curled up, forgetting even the momentary pain as the two blades grazed him, making tiny cuts on the left and right sides of his neck.
‘also.’
I didn’t avoid the attack.
Just moments ago, in a desperate moment when their lives were in danger, the two black demons forcibly twisted their weapons and changed their course.
reason?
Simple.
Because you can never kill me.
Because the leader who is currently controlling them on this battlefield, the Blood Sword Demon Army, gave such instructions.
‘Maybe I wouldn’t have been able to do that if I had been Cheonsansanno.’
No, correct me.
It’s not that it couldn’t have been done, it’s that it wouldn’t have been done.
Unlike the dark ghosts, for those who still have emotions and reason, their lives would have been a hundred or a thousand times more precious than carrying out instructions.
They must have known that this small mistake they made to capture me alive would directly lead to their deaths.
Like right now.
Shut up!
I did not miss the gap that was not visible, but that revealed itself.
Flutter!
A new type of dark demon that instantly froze like a stone statue.
Riding on the blade of the spear of white flame that penetrated exactly through Mokuldae, the heat energy of the Four Gapjas that I had sent burst forth.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Exploding flames.
Before the new form of the black ghost, whose entire head had disappeared, fell from the saddle, another black ghost, who belatedly realized that his companion was in danger, twisted and swung the blade that had passed by my neck.
Suddenly!
hot. Red blood spurted from the shoulder, which had been cut by the wind pressure alone.
However, if there is something lost, there is also something gained.
Crack.
A touch so cold that it gave me goosebumps for a moment.
I grabbed the man’s wrist, which was encased in jet black armor, with my other hand, and without a moment’s hesitation, I squeezed and twisted it.
Crack. Crack.
Flesh and bones being crushed with an eerie crushing sound.
If the dark ghost gained stronger strength in the process of overcoming death and being reborn, I have overcome countless crises of death and surpassed human limitations.
Therefore, they are not the only monsters that exist here at this moment.
Wow!
I pulled out the wrist holding the weapon and stretched out my fist towards the guy who was frozen in a daze.
Quang!
A body falling apart, with black armor falling to pieces, giving off a foul smell of burnt coal.
But I know.
What kind of monsters are they?
How persistent and terrible is the additional cursed life force given to them.
Jerk.
Leaving behind Jeokcheongang, which was already fighting with two other dark ghosts, I took a step towards the staggering dark ghosts.
“Okay, let’s go somewhere.”
Wow.
Toward the monsters that regenerate the arm that was cruelly pulled out, the bones and flesh that were melted and crumbled by the flames, and even the neck that had disappeared, as the dark fog billowed around the entire body.
“Which one is more of a monster?”
Shuhuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Hwaryong Ilmi (Fire Dragon Ilmi).
The dazzlingly white spear blade burned like a flame, and the strike cut through the fog like a thunderbolt, turning into a blue-black wave and tearing them apart.
* * *
“That’s incredible. “It’s so amazing!”
Like a child who received his favorite toy on his birthday, the Blood Sword Demon looked at the battlefield unfolding before his eyes with a flushed face.
Cha cha cha chang!
From the top of a high hill to a snowy field spread out in the distance.
Hundreds of densely covered Dosan Geomrim (刀山劍林) trees are dancing. A flash of light, the blades that had been constantly heated and cooled for only one purpose were finally doing their job.
Flutter!
Wow!
Amid shouts and screams pouring in from all directions, red blood sprays like a fountain on everyone’s heads.
With one inhale, dozens of lives disappear, and with one exhale, the empty spaces are filled.
And even at this very moment, the cruel scene where the chain of deaths continues endlessly was enough to stimulate the nostalgia of someone who had to stay beyond the desert for a long time.
“This is it. This is it… … .”
The blood sword demon’s eyes, which muttered in a half-fazed voice, had already become dreamy and wet.
How much I missed you.
How much I’ve been wishing for this.
In the past, which is now a distant memory, there was a time when he led a hundred thousand demons across the world by the side of someone called the Heavenly Demon, but for the Blood Sword Demon Army, the memories of those days were not very pleasant.
Even then, the Blood Sword Demon was just a blood-crazed hunting dog, and the Heavenly Demon did not give him much command.
But now it’s different.
The new owner gave the Blood Sword Demon Army the power over the life and death of tens of thousands of people.
I convey only one very simple condition: Jin Tae-kyung must not be killed under any circumstances.
‘I can’t believe you showed me this much trust.’
The fact that as many as seven dark spirits were given away is conclusive evidence.
And with that… … .
‘As long as they are there, this battle can never be lost under any circumstances.’
The Blood Sword Demon Army suddenly took its eyes off the battlefield and looked at the white-clad men who were under heavy guard not far away.
They are in no way inferior to the dark demons, and may even become a more powerful force.
