Episode 134:


    Blueblood Daomen suffered significant damage in thest battle.


    In conclusion, they were the ones who won the battle, but the process was not as one-sided as before.


    It was thanks to the fact that Changmyeonggung and I personally came to the forefront and yed an active role.


    The situation was different from when Damun’s advance method temporarily slowed the pace of the Cheonghyeoldomun’s advance.


    It was not based on bases or operations, but rather gained the upper hand for a brief moment in a simple battle of strength.


    The warriors belonging to the Baekdo Martial Arts Alliance saw hope in that fact.


    “feel so good.”


    “Me too. “It’s definitely different than before.”


    “Changmyeong Pce and Heavenly Dragon. Because the intervention of the two masterspletely changed thendscape of the fight.”


    “Of course, we are still inferior in terms of power…”


    “It is an undeniable fact that the difference in power between the two sides is significant. By analogy, a fight between an adult and a child? But haven’t things changed now? “A sharp sword is held in the child’s hand.”


    “Now no one can predict the oue.”


    “What if Changmyeong Pce Daehyup defeats the Blue Blood Demon Lord?”


    “At that time, the tide of war may really turn.”


    As I was sitting on the wall of Seonsisega and thinking about the future, I smiled bitterly at the men’s voices in my ears.


    Wouldn’t it be great if we could focus entirely on the conflict with the Blue Blood Demon, as they wish?


    ‘I’m very anxious here because I don’t know when my head will be blown off.’


    Unlike the warriors of the union who were raising their expectations day by day, I was unable to sleep every night out of worry.


    Since confirming the existence of the blood-sucking demon, I have never let down my tension even for a moment.


    In addition to physical fatigue, mental fatigue had umted significantly.


    In this situation, there were two main reasons why I appeared in person with Changmyeong Pce.


    Firstly, to avoid a situation that arouses the suspicion of the Iron Blood Demon Army.


    Second, to discourage the movement of the Cheonghyeoldomun.


    ‘It will take some time before the Cheonghyeoldomunpletes its reorganization and begins its march again.’


    There were two main methods that the Iron Blood Demon Army could use to find out the identity of the vampire demon and the masked person they encountered on the ck market.


    Ganja nted within the Guizhou branch.


    And the informationwork of the Cheonghyeoldomun.


    ‘I’m probably hoping for thetter.’


    Presumably, the Iron Blood Demon Army and the Blue Blood Demon Master were in a horizontal rtionship, not a vertical rtionship.


    A rtionship in which there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and each party only uses the other.


    There was a gap there.


    It was easy to separate two groups whose goals were not aligned without the need for difficult cunning.


    ‘Just as the Iron Blood Demon Army considers carrying out the orders of the sect a top priority, the Blue Blood Demon Lord also considers expanding the sect’s territory a top priority.’


    If the Blue Blood Demon was preupied with reorganization and neglected the request of the Iron Blood Demon Army, there would be no better oue.


    That was the reason why I jumped into the front line at a time when I should have been careful.


    ‘I just need to buy a little more time.’


    By now, Dokgo Woojin, who had received my letter, must have been rushing to Gwiju.


    I would probably be able to join within a few days.


    “But.”


    A sigh, the meaning of which I could not understand, escaped my lips.


    I looked up at the blue sky and muttered.


    “I don’t know why I feel so anxious.”


    * * *


    A dark underground stone room.


    Opening the stone door, the enemy man entered the room, red at the old man with a look that threatened to devour him, and asked.


    “Where have you been again?”


    “I went out to drink for a while.”


    “Didn’t I ask you to refrain from going out as much as possible?”


    “It can’t be helped. “Since you are so frustrated, I have no choice but to step forward.”


    “what do you mean?”


    Instead of answering, the old man stretched out his long finger and pointed at the man sitting with his back against the wall.


    The man seemed to have fainted, perhaps due to the blood transfusion.


    The enemy man’s face became even more distorted.


    “It’s difficult.”


    “I don’t see what’s troubling.”


    “Up until now, I have granted everything that Demon Lord requested. Of course, we provide fresh blood periodically…”


    “Tsk. Enough with the nagging. “Because it’s not what you think.”


    “……?”


    “The author is probably Hao Wen Tao.”


    “Hao Wen Dao? “On what basis are you saying that?”


    “I confirmed that you have a tattoo on your upper calf.”


    “How can you determine whether a target is Hao Mun Dao or not just by looking at the tattoo?”


    “What do you think I did all day today?”


    “…I gathered information by following a man believed to be Hao Mun-do. As a result, suspicions were confirmed and the subject was kidnapped for interrogation. Is that so?”


    “But this kind of head is working well.”


    “Now that I think about it, the sect leader said that there is a high possibility that Tianlong has a close rtionship with Haomun.”


    “I think it would be better to torture that guy to get information rather than just trusting the Blue Blood Demon and wasting time. What do you think?”


    “…That’s my opinion too.”


    The enemy man, Seogunak, looked at the old man with a new gaze.


    I thought he was just an old man who lives without thinking.


    The old man waved his skinny wrist and gave a congrattorymand.


    “If you understand, move quickly. “If you find out the identity of the masked person, let me know right away.”


    * * *


    “The branch manager told me to deliver this letter to the cooperative.”


    “……?”


    “You said it was urgent news. Please check it out right away.”


    I received the letter handed to me by Jeomsoi, the guest, and looked at its contents.


    To summarize the contents of the letter, it was as follows.


    -The night before, one of the residents of the main gate disappeared.


    -It is highly likely that this was a kidnapping, not a simple disappearance.


    – Hyeongsu is believed to be a demonic cult operating in secret in Gwiju.


    -There is a risk that information may have been leaked. Please be careful.


    ‘Damn it.’


    Grumble!


    I created a samadhi fire, burned the letter, and got up.


    The worst situation I feared hase true.


    I immediately rxed and looked around.


    ‘…Is it already toote?’


    A disturbing presence can be felt everywhere.


    It seemed that the Iron Blood Demon Army had just figured out the truth and dispatched its subordinates.


    There was no time to worry.


    I had to move right away.


    Kwajangchang!


    I broke the window and jumped out of the guesthouse.


    ‘The siege is not yetplete.’


    Fortunately, Damun and the rest of the group were currently in a different location.


    If there had been a party to protect, an even more troublesome situation would have arisen.


    Beep!


    The sound of the whistle pierced my ears.


    The demonic cultists who sensed something strange began to chase me, exchanging signals with each other.


    I ran into a deserted forest and hid myself.


    At that moment, a voice prated my ear as if waiting for me.


    -It’s you, after all. When I smelled it up close, I knew for sure.


    A moan like ‘Gasp’ rose up to my throat.


    It was a familiar voice.


    ‘Vampire demon!’


    It seemed like the absolute master who upied the top spot in the eight great demon armies had personally set out to hunt me.


    ‘……It was expected. There’s no need to be scared anymore.’


    I was determined.


    We have made some preparations.


    Nevertheless, tension rose sharply.


    I spread the ghost beam with all my might and crossed the forest.


    -Do you think you can run away from me?


    A creepyugh pierced my ears.


    Then, a red light shed on the left.


    Quaaaang!


    “…!”


    A chunk of strong energy flew at an incredible speed and collided with the brain energy membrane, causing an explosion.


    Even though I blocked it perfectly, my body shook in the aftermath.


    A moan naturally came out.


    ‘There is no time to save strength.’


    I gritted my teeth and corrected the staggering Sinhyeong.


    If you dy here even for a moment, you will be heading straight to the underworld.


    Quang! Quang! Quang!


    Masses of strong energy flew in session, hitting every part of my body.


    I formed a self-defense energy at the point of impact and oveid brain energy on its surface.


    In other words, it formed a double shield.


    ‘Monstrous old man.’


    Nevertheless, it was not possible topletely protect the body from impact.


    Pain that umtes little by little.


    I cursed and leapt onto a nearby tree.


    Immediately afterwards, the ground shook and the de rose up.


    The demon cultists who were hiding in the ground waiting for an opportunity ate their food with a disappointed look on their faces.


    ‘Has an ambush been set up on the expected escape route?’


    Quaaaang!


    Before I could organize my thoughts, a lump of strength flew out and hit my shoulder.


    Because the attack came at such an exquisite moment, the response was slightly dyed.


    I muttered to myself, wiping the blood flowing from the corner of my mouth with my sleeve.


    ‘If you do it wrong, you won’t be able to lure the vampire to where the base is and will just go straight to the goal.’


    I felt a huge energy that gave me goosebumps gradually getting closer.


    I unexpectedly spun the weapon around and pulled out the sword from my waist.


    Twenty-third herbivorous month (水月).


    Illusory des filled the air.


    Before I knew it, the Vampire Demon that had followed me a short distance away burst into mes and flew into the illusion.


    Sigh!


    The next moment, the entire world in my field of vision was split in half.


    The wee waves, the beautiful tree, and even the resistance of the air.


    Everything that stood in the way of the vampire evaporated without a trace.


    ‘You couldn’t stop your movements even for a moment!’


    As the vampire swung his arm, the sound of a sword rang out.


    The red energy flowing along the surface of the sword stretched out and targeted the blood in my entire body.


    I opened the Wolyeonggeom’s Chosik again and countered it.


    The twentieth herbivorous month.


    Dozens of sword energy poured down towards the vampire demon.


    Quagwagwagwang!


    Energy and energy collided, creating an explosion.


    There was a huge aftershock.


    I surrendered myself to the shock that assaulted my entire body.


    The new type soars high like a leaf swept by a storm.


    In an instant, the distance between me and the other person widened.


    The vampire demon spoke with admiration.


    “It’s amazing that you used that attack to increase the distance between you and me.”


    Dry lips drew an arc.


    It was a very disgusting expression.


    “I can’t believe it even when I see it with my own eyes. At just the age of a few years, you can reach the state of Hwagyeong. “Not even the head of our school could achieve such an outrageous situation.”


    I suddenly frowned.


    Even in my past life, I had seen the Vampire Demon make that kind of expression a few times.


    ‘You crazy old man.’


    In his eyes, I probably looked like a delicious dinner.


    If I were caught by the vampire demon here, it would be the end.


    I will end up bing a meat puppet for blood supply on the spot.


    Inded on a nearby tree branch and immediately spun my body around and flew away.


    The level itself was higher for the vampire army, but if I had mastered the ghost treasure, it would have been possible to escape somehow.


    “Whoa…”


    I took out a small leather pouch from my pocket.


    It was a pouch containing poison that had been received from Dang Seo-yeon in advance.


    As soon as I opened the cap, a musty smell spread throughout the area.


    ‘Eat this.’


    He threw the leather pouch backwards and fired sword energy at it, causing it to explode.


    As the poison spread in his face, the vampire swallowed his breath.


    I drew a faint smile on my lips.


    ‘I guess we can’t do anything to a vampire demon with this much poison.’


    However, for someone with a sensitive sense of smell, the stimtion would have been a bit strong.


    Because I deliberately chose that type of poison.
