Episode 143. You saw me.
The debt collector, Gu Ja-seung, a traveler, approached in a carriage with about twenty thieves.
Now his eyes were fixed on an old man named Gucheonnodo.
I knew it the first time I saw that old man.
If things go wrong, that old man will be the one who will be taking care of me.
Even at first glance, he was the best, except for Yeonjeokha.
Gu Ja-seung ran to Sim Tong, with Park Do in front.
Chirit.
Park Do-ho fell on Sim Tong’s head.
Instead, Simtong took a step forward and passed Gu Ja-seung.
Crunch.
The sound of flesh and bone being cut rang out clearly.
Gu Ja-seung’s upper body, which had been instinctively looking back, was split in two.
This is the moment when the thieves following him stopped in surprise.
Simtong jumped into the midst of about twenty thieves and ran wild like a tiger.
In the blink of an eye, ten people fell.
Ordinary thieves were no match for Simtong.
The ten surviving bandits were surprised by Simtong’s overwhelming power and took a step back.
“Hehehe. I clearly said that I would cut down anyone with a knife.”
At Simtong’s words, four weak-willed thieves threw down their swords.
The remaining six turned their gaze to Chae-ju, unable to do anything.
I hope he quickly kills the general patrol and takes care of the old man named Gucheonnodo.
A roar came out from the mouth of Samdosan Chaeju Naengmyeon Geomgwi Gong Geoin.
“die!”
The blue glowing sword stabbed Yeonjeokha’s body.
“You die!”
The sword of Yeonjeokha flowed smoothly with sword energy.
After about 7 minutes, Yeonjeokha’s sword showed some leisure.
He was using just as much force as was necessary.
At first, I was surprised by the fatal sword strike and tried to kick it away unconditionally, but now it was different.
He has mastered the principle of softness overcoming strength.
Even that alone did not reach the black smoke of the giant.
It is different from before when Yeonjeokha only relied on mysterious sword techniques.
He was not afraid of the sword of his opponent, full of life and out of form.
Rather, I found it fun to just push it through with minimal force.
Then, after finally getting what I wanted, I took a big step back.
Thanks to that, the resident was able to catch his breath and was briefly calming down his boiling bet.
Yeonjeokha suddenly kicked the ground and jumped into the air.
The startled giant quickly took a step back, but Yeonjeok-ha was faster.
He flipped over in the air and fell down with his sword in front of him like an eagle.
The five laws of the nine heavens are the heavens and earth.
Just like the name of the herb, which means ‘the sky and the earth are turned upside down’, the incredible black energy shook the heavens and the earth.
The giant man, who had been looking up, stumbled.
Suddenly, the ground beneath my feet gave out and I felt like I was falling into an abyss.
Startled, he looked around frantically.
Sword energy and sword wind are swirling from all directions, making it impossible to even tell the direction.
The giant swung his sword madly in the chaos where he couldn’t tell the difference between the ground and the sky.
Shh. Shh. Shh.
But his efforts were in vain.
As if by fate, a single strand of black energy was thrust down towards Jeongsu-ri.
“Ugh!”
A final scream escaped the tenant’s mouth.
A raindrop fell down in front of him as he stood there with his arms hanging down.
A dozen or so bandits who had been watching the fight threw down their weapons with dejected faces.
However, he did not leave the presence of the person he was in love with.
Instead, he stared at the dying giant with a more tense face than before.
Crunch. Crunch.
The giant’s skin cracked with a strange sound of bones twisting.
Soon, clothes and flesh began to fall off.
Yeonjeokha, who had been watching the resident, slowly stepped back.
The coward was different from the previous ten horsemen.
Up until now, the twelve horsemen had at least a human form.
But he is not a cohabitant.
It was the same color as the blood red one, but it had a huge body and bat wings.
On either side of the protruding mouth, two dark red teeth protrude like ivory.
Who would call someone like that a human being?
As the giant spread his huge wings, the thieves screamed and ran away.
“Ahh!”
“It’s a demon dragon!”
“The devil has appeared!”
It certainly looked like a demonic dragon, with smoke streaming from its mouth.
Yeonjeokha, who had been looking at the vacant lot with a dumbfounded expression, shook his head. It seemed that from now on, he would not be surprised no matter what he saw.
‘Yes, you are a demon dragon.’
Influenced by Jinseolha’s naming, he started by naming himself.
Although the head resembled a lizard, the overall name ‘Ma-ryong’ suited it.
The dragon’s red eyes turned towards Yeonjeokha.
And then he opened his mouth wide, showing his hostility, which was more than a thousand years old.
There were hundreds of blade-like teeth embedded in its mouth, and smoke was billowing out of its throat.
“Kyaaaaah!”
I felt a slight dizziness, accompanied by a thunderous sound.
The thieves who were far away from the dragon fell to the ground.
Yeonjeok turned his head urgently towards the carriage.
Fortunately, Simtong, Namgungcheon, and Namgungyeon seemed okay.
The group of Seolchasu, who are weak in stamina, are barely holding on by holding onto their legs.
“Kyaaaaah!”
The dragon let out a roar once again.
I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that the feeling of being pulled up by the nine-legged eagle was gone.
I didn’t want to feel that unpleasant dizziness from a little while ago again.
‘What are you?’
He gripped the sword tightly and slowly approached the dragon.
The eyes of the human-shaped minions were black, but the eyes of the demon dragon were red like blood.
As Yeonjeokha approached, the dragon’s head rose slightly and then came down.
“Kyaa-.”
A stream of red flames poured out from the dragon’s mouth.
Whoosh whoosh.
The surprised Yeon-jeok jumped into the air from the unexpected flame attack.
The flames passed by like arrows.
The flames stretched for ten jang (about 30 meters) and engulfed the bandits who were watching.
“Ahh!”
“Hot, hot!”
“help me!”
The bandits engulfed in flames screamed and rolled around, but the fire did not go out.
The fire that the dragon spit out died down only after it had reduced the bandits to ashes.
Yeonjeokha’s mouth opened wide when he saw that sight.
The fire that the dragon spit out was different from that of other flame demons.
‘Is it possible that it won’t go out until it completely burns the opponent?’
Yeonjeok, who was thinking that it would be similar to the fire of the Flame Mine, shuddered.
‘Never touch it!’
Then the dragon’s mouth opened again.
Whoosh whoosh.
He didn’t dare to confront his rival and flew away like a swallow.
Although it was a secret weapon that not even third-rate commoners used, its speed was unrivaled.
He flew towards the demon dragon using the technique of Shingeom Il-il, avoiding the flames. Considering both offense and defense, it was the best choice.
As the dragonfly flew towards him, the dragon opened its mouth again.
Then, a thicker flame than before poured out from the dragon’s mouth.
Whoosh, whoosh.
In the instantaneous union of the divine swords, the sword technique was changed to the nine-heaven nine-sword three-sik wind and heaven small-scale reduction.
This happened because the belief in the nine heavens and nine swords was greater than the belief in the union of the new sword.
The wind piled up at the tip of Yeonjeokha’s sword.
Wheezing. Kwakwakwakwa-.
The whirlwind soon turned into a typhoon and struck straight at us.
Kwarrrrung!
The sword wind of the nine heavens and nine swords and the terrors of hell met.
Kukuku.
The flames that were flying in a straight line were unable to penetrate the sword wind and were pushed back hesitantly.
As the flames finally turned in the opposite direction, the dragon’s body rose up.
Phew!
Flames and sword wind poured down from under the dragon’s feet.
It’s time for the dragon to flap its huge wings to fly higher.
The lotus flower that had been in the air suddenly fell towards the dragon.
A beat later, the red eyes of the dragon turned to Yeonjeokha.
“Cha-ha-ha!”
Yeonjeokha performed the Nine Heavens and Nine Swords Four Sects of the Mysterious Lady Rain with a shout.
In an instant, an innumerable amount of black energy was created in the air.
Immediately afterwards, black energy covered the dragon like a shower.
Pupupupu-.
“Kyaaaaah!”
With holes ripped through its wings, the dragon fell to the ground.
Pufferpuck-.
The sword energy of Hyeonnyeo Kangwoo continued to penetrate Ma-ryong’s body.
Every time that happened, black smoke rose from the dragon’s body.
Immediately after the sword energy of Hyunnyeo Gangwoo swept past, the demon dragon slowly raised its head.
At that moment, Yeonjeokha’s sword fell on the dragon’s crown.
This is the Japanese saying that ‘all changes are contained in one sword’.
“Ouch!”
A pitiful scream, unbecoming of its size, burst out from the dragon’s mouth.
Then, a dark cave appeared before Yeonjeokha’s eyes.
In the darkness where you can’t see even an inch ahead, countless red lights are twinkling like stars in the sky.
‘Could that be?’
When I strained my eyes, I saw that what I thought were starlight were actually the eyes of a demon dragon.
It is the moment when Yeonjeokha becomes the flagship in front of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of eyes.
Hundreds of eyes turned in the direction of the fireworks.
‘Huh! Did you see me?’
The moment he opened his eyes in surprise, his body was sucked backwards.
As I returned to reality, I unconsciously felt my heart pounding.
I never wanted to see the hellish dragons swarming, not even in my dreams.
Pusss-.
The demon dragon that had been a co-habitant until recently was turned to dust and scattered.
Yeonjeokha, who was looking at the ten blue balls of light, absentmindedly put both hands together.
And I prayed for the soul of that thing whose identity is still unknown.
The heterogeneous energy that emerged when the dragon’s breath died gathered at Palju Ridge this time as well.
‘Could it be that the dragon recognized me because of the energy of the eight pillars?’
Before, monsters didn’t feel themselves.
I had that thought for no reason because it happened while I was wearing the Paljuryung.
‘I’ll have to ask my older sister later.’
He didn’t even tell Seol Cha-su and his group that he was wearing the Palju-ryeong. Namgung Yeon had him keep his mouth shut because he was worried that something strange would come out of the Jeongui Alliance later.
The thieves of Samdosanchae came forward one by one, hesitantly.
One of them said, shaking his head.
“Sir, we did not rebel. Those guys are all famous cultists.”
He pointed with his finger at the thieves who were following the instructions of the thief.
The three thieves who had survived the instantaneous flames fell face down on the ground.
“Please forgive me! I had no choice but to go to the oxygen-free zone because the public servant forced me to! It’s true!”
Yeonjeokha looked at the three thieves with a dull expression.
Anyway, there is no grave without an excuse.
“Then tell me what you know about anaerobic reduction.”
“Wh, what do you want me to say?”
“We don’t know much.”
“We just came when we were told to come and went when we were told to go.”
Simtong, who was listening to the thieves’ excuses, could not hold back his anger and shouted.
“You guys! If the chief of police asks you something, you have to answer unconditionally! What kind of nonsense are you talking about! I want you guys to tell me everything you saw and heard in the oxygen-free farm! Even the things you did in the back room, without hiding anything!”
Only then, one by one, the thieves began to tell what they had seen and heard.
Since they were thieves of such low rank, I knew almost nothing about them.
If there is any harvest, it is the fact that there are seven dozen soldiers in the anaerobic division.
After a while, Yeonjeokha turned his gaze to the thief who had first reported the famous cult member.
“What is your name?”
“It’s called Yeomyeongji.”
“Okay. For the time being, you are the owner of Samdosanchae. If the oxygen-free herd sends another strange man to devour the mountain herd, immediately notify the owner of the mountain herd and ask for help.”
“Yes! I will obey your orders!”
Yeomyeongji looked up at Yeonjeokha with glaring eyes.
The one who was in love with him was no longer simply a patrolman of the Green Forest, but a heavenly being.
Wuxia,
