Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 261

Silence fell in the hall.

The sudden appearance of the eight great demons.

A clash that occurred in the blink of an eye.

It would have been difficult for even warriors who had reached their peak to recognize what had happened a moment ago.

I looked back at the warriors who had stopped in place with surprised expressions and shouted loudly.

“We will take care of this guy! Everyone, don’t panic and stick to your roles!”

The time that had stopped began to pass.

The rescue team’s warriors swallowed dry saliva and pushed Baek Makmun’s disciples again.

I asked, glancing in the direction where the evil girl was.

“Are you okay?”

“I was slightly injured, but not to the point where it would interfere with the fight.”

As I looked down, I saw that the clothes around my ankles were stained red.

It looks like he suffered some injuries when he was initially ambushed.

‘Still, I’m glad.’

The bleeding was not severe and the airway was not disturbed.

As he said, the wound did not seem serious enough to affect the outcome of the battle.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and looked straight ahead.

Beyond the broken shrine.

A man sitting against the wall was staring in this direction, crying out loud.

His eyes were red and he seemed quite angry.

‘He looks fine even after being hit by such an attack.’

I clicked my tongue and straightened my sword.

I couldn’t relax even for a moment.

The opponent is an absolute expert dispatched by the Demon Cult Master.

He was the best among the eight great demons in terms of his strong body.

“I will tear your limbs apart and kill you.”

The man muttered softly and disappeared from his seat the next moment.

I immediately took a half step back and unfurled my Wolyeonggeom.

Twenty-third herbivorous month (水月).

The remnants that remained along the sword’s path crumbled into countless blades.

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor, who had been closing the distance between me and me with an amazing walking technique, let out a roar and punched the air as if he was laughing.

pop! pop! pop! pop! pop!

Illusory waves that had lost their form, like clothes with holes in them, melted into the air and disappeared.

I covered my abdomen with the blade to prepare for the next attack and frowned.

Quang!

A shock hit my body as if I had been hit with a large hammer.

‘This much!’

I gritted my teeth and held on so as not to lose my balance.

The power was incomparable to the previous surprise attack, but this time we were able to withstand it somehow because we anticipated and prepared.

“…….”

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor’s eyes became mischievous.

A lump of internal energy sent by the evil girl attacked him, who stopped moving for a moment.

There was a loud noise, and the new model of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor crashed into the palace hall again.

The evil girl’s attacks did not stop there.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The huge temple collapsed in a torrential downpour of energy.

The martial arts people who were watching the fight from afar trembled their shoulders and muttered.

“It’s scary.”

“Is it really a demon?”

“No matter how powerful the Eight Great Demons are, they won’t be safe after being caught up in such an extreme herbivore.”

A large building collapsed in an instant due to something unseen.

From the viewer’s perspective, the visual impact must have been significant.

‘……lack.’

I corrected my posture and calmed my boiling nerves.

If it were the other eight great demon armies, there was no way that the Bungcheon Demon Emperor would fall to this level.

just as expected.

Squeak! Quarruk!

The man who came out of the ruins of the collapsed palace still looked healthy.

His hair was a mess and his clothes were tattered, but that was all.

The spirit of speculation did not weaken at all.

“How dare you…”

Thick demonic energy flowed out, staining the ground beneath his feet black.

The air in the area became heavy.

The warriors who were fighting nearby left the scene with white faces.

‘If this is enough, it’s worth a try.’

I relaxed my aching shoulders and stepped forward as if to cover the entire face of the evil woman.

Although he was a person he could never face on his own, with the support of Ak Yeo-ryeong, he was able to fight on equal footing.

No, it would have been possible to not only fight on equal footing but also gain the upper hand.

‘If the Poison King joins here, we can definitely catch the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.’

It was truly a golden opportunity.

They had the upper hand in terms of military power, and even time was on their side.

If I did well, I might be able to defeat the Eight Demon Lords right here.

“…….”

A tense fight broke out.

The energy emitted by the Demon Emperor of Bungcheon and the Demon Spirit of Evil collided in the air, creating a strong wind.

The fluttering hem of the clothes heightened the tension.

Absolutely! Quick!

Brain energy was concentrated on the tip of the raised sword.

He immediately dug into the opponent’s side and thrust his sword in a straight line.

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor, who rotated his new form as if he had been waiting, threw a fist at them.

The moment when swords and fists collide.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

A roar engulfed the entire area.

* * *

“I’m sorry to see you like this again. “Baekmakmunju.”

“…Baekun Sword (百澐劍).”

“Why did you do such a thing?”

Baekwoongeom, a woman with shaved head and wearing a monk’s robe, asked with a sad expression.

A wry smile appeared on the lips of Gojeonggeom (好情劍) standing across from him.

“It’s like that. “What does such a thing mean?”

“Why did you betray the Baekdo martial arts group and turn to the side of the Demonic Cult?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

“…….”

“You wouldn’t know. “I just want to ignore the uncomfortable truth.”

“Surrender now. Only then can we save our disciples.”

“This is not something you should say with a sword stained with the blood of your disciples.”

“Moonju!”

“You are right. Most of the disciples ended up here simply because they were caught up in the decisions made by the adults of the recluse. “If you want to save even one more of your poor disciples, it would be right to surrender right now.”

“…You thought well.”

A look of relief appeared on Baekwoongeom’s face.

As if betraying her expectations, Gojeonggeom continued talking.

“But I cannot declare surrender with my mouth.”

“……?”

“Can the leader of the betrayal shamelessly survive?”

“What are you talking about!”

“It shouldn’t be like that, even for the sake of the disciples who will be reduced to the status of prisoners. “I must die here today.”

“……..”

“Take up the sword. “At least I want to meet a warrior-like end.”

“Do you really have to do this?”

“I’ve thought about it before, but you tend to get too caught up in emotions. “Maybe I should have lived as an ordinary monk instead of entering the martial arts world.”

“Sometimes I regret it. “I wonder what was so great and cool about holding a sword in one’s hand.”

Baekmakmunju’s gaze returned to the collapsed pavilion.

The sight of a young hero joining forces with an absolute master who held the throne of the Ten Heavenly Emperors to take on the eight great demon armies gave him a strange feeling.

What did you want to achieve when you entered Moorim?

If only the object of my admiration wasn’t the vicious demons over there.

‘Damn you Mine guy. They talked as if they were there to help Baek Mak-moon, but their true intentions were elsewhere.’

I found out too late.

To the Bungcheon Demon Emperor, the Four Gates were just bait.

It looks like they were trying to get rid of evil spirits by sacrificing the disciples of the sect.

It failed spectacularly due to the efforts of the Sacheon branch leader.

‘It looks bad.’

Gojeongeom laughed internally and injected energy into the sword he held with both hands.

The energy that had been swaying along the surface of the sword rose and took on a clear shape.

Baekwoon Sword, with a nervous expression, likewise formed a sword gang and confronted him.

“Be careful. Even after this, it is still a door to the family. “It would be best not to take it lightly.”

“There’s no way you can look down on me, right?”

Hojeonggeom and Baekungeom hit the ground at the same time.

The moment the two swords met, an explosion rang out.

* * *

Boom! Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

The atmosphere distorted, the ground flipped, and debris flew in all directions.

Heavy drinking that rings out without stopping.

The Bungcheon Demon Emperor generously revealed the power he possessed to counter the joint attack by me and the evil girl.

A large man who constantly exudes fierce fighting spirit, as if to prove that his position as one of the eight great demons was not obtained through gambling.

‘There is no such thing as a monster.’

I clicked my tongue as I examined his appearance while unfolding the Wolyeonggeom in succession.

Even though he must have used up quite a bit of his energy, he didn’t seem to be tired at all.

Contrary to what I thought, I wasn’t able to secure a win.

This was because Bungcheon Demon Emperor’s tactics were greatly different from before.

‘I won’t just ignorantly push you with force, right?’

It was not easy to deal with as it took advantage of its quick mobility to hit and run repeatedly.

I couldn’t relax even for a moment.

If I made even the slightest mistake in judgment, my head would be shattered by that big fist.

‘Still, the situation is not all that bad.’

It was also our wish to drag the fight into a long battle.

Because time is on our side.

“Damn it.”

A muttering voice, as if chewing and spitting, penetrated my ear.

Dozens of fighters rushed in, filling the entire front.

Each one contained a power that could not be ignored.

I spread my feet shoulder-width apart and held my sword.

He raised the sword he was holding with both hands above his head and took a short breath before lowering it.

Sigh!

The fourth herbivorous Chamwol (斬月),

a sword strike whose power was amplified through the use of special internal power, cut through the waves of Kwon Yeong.

‘It can’t end with just herbivorous food.’

I was about to continue to use the Wolyeonggeom to prepare for the next attack, but for a moment I made a blank expression.

Before I knew it, the Bungcheon Demon Emperor had gained a considerable distance and was quickly jumping over the fence.

‘You’re giving up the fight like this and running away?’

I felt empty and lost all the strength in my shoulders.

It was not that he did not consider the possibility that the Bungcheon Demon Emperor could escape.

Rather, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if someone tried to escape at any time, given the situation.

There is no way he, a demonic cultist, would be imprisoned for Baekmakmun.

So I provoked him step by step.

May he be consumed by demonic energy and lose his reason.

Forget your sense of time and focus only on dealing with yourself and the evil spirit.

‘Was it acting that made you look so excited?’

I thought things were going as planned, but now it seems that wasn’t the case.

Emperor Bungcheon calmly finished calculating and left the place.

‘It’s a shame.’

I lowered my sword and sighed.

I felt like I missed all the fish I caught.

It would not be easy to chase after an absolute master who was running away with determination.

As the general commander, I cannot leave my seat and participate in the chase.

‘I can’t help it. I’m giving up on catching the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.’

I shook my head to shake off my regret and immediately gave instructions to Gwijusamjeol in full voice.

Bind the surviving Baekmakmun disciples and gather them in the training hall.

‘First, quickly complete control of the faction.’

After organizing my thoughts, I brushed up my tangled hair and looked away.

The two masters of Hwagyeong were entangled together and engaged in a fierce battle.

“Kaaap!”

Baekmakmunju Hojeonggeom pushed Baekwoongeom with an evil expression.

The sight of the person covered in blood reminded me of a person with blood.

I didn’t think it would be surprising if I collapsed from excessive bleeding at some point.

As I was watching the fight, I clicked my tongue and muttered in my mind.

‘They say don’t be shaken.’
