Episode 336
“Nice to meet you. “Cult leader.”
A palm stained with golden light suddenly pops out to support the sword sheath.
I took a deep breath as I turned my head to look at the person whose voice wasing from me.
Truly unexpected reinforcements arrived.
‘I never thought Ija woulde forward in person.’
He was an old man wearing a monk’s robe.
The wrinkles on his face gave an idea of the years he had lived.
A white beard that reaches down to his chest.
The prayer beads held in the left hand.
I couldn’t recognize it.
That’s because he was one of the most famous figures in all of the Jungwon martial arts world.
‘Buddha respect!’
Master Yeongwoon, Taesangbangjang (太常方丈) of Shaolin Temple.
An absolute master who holds the first ce in the Ten Heavenly Emperors.
Often, when people in the world discuss the best of Baekdo martial arts, there are two people who are mentioned first.
Ijon (二尊).
Master Yeongwoon was a person who upied the same position as this one.
If Mujon (武尊) Joo Baek is the representative face of Maeng, he was the spiritual leader of the martial arts faction.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Lord Ma, me, and Master Yeongun.
A storm raged around the three absolute masters.
“Huh!”
“Aaaah!”
The warriors of low status were helplessly pushed away and flew away.
Even the powerful people did not dare to approach and did their best to stay in ce.
‘indeed.’
I eximed inwardly and added even more strength to the hand holding the sword sheath.
The energy with anti-demonic properties neutralized the demonic energy.
The supernormal abilities of the world-ss spiritual practice Praj?ā?īkū (般若神功), which represents Shaolin Temple, were clearly being demonstrated.
Among the martial powers of Baekdo, the group that the demon cultists found most disturbing was the Tang family, and the group they feared the most was none other than the Shaolin temple.
The monks of Shaolin Temple all learn martial arts based on the energy of anti-demon, and to the magicians who learned magic, they could be said to be natural enemies.
Kuaaaaang!
The energy expanded to its limit and eventually caused an explosion.
Master Ma, who jumped back and retreated, muttered.
“It’s a variable that couldn’t be assumed.”
His gaze turned to Sima Xuhuan, who was curled up on the ground and moaning.
Sima Xuhuan’s appearance was truly miserable.
His clothes were in tatters and he had big and small wounds all over his body.
Judging by his paleplexion, he must have been caught in the aftermath of a fight and suffered internal injuries.
“I’m in trouble.”
Even if you were the best expert in the world, it was not easy to protect someone while dealing with multiple enemies.
This is especially true if the person you need to protect is tired or injured.
“Buljon. “Why are you here?”
“Is there any reason why I shouldn’t be here?”
“An old man who has never been seen on the battlefield before now took off his heavy ass to join Cheonnajimang and the like? “You can’t help but have questions.”
“This is not the first time that the leader of the cult who said that has appeared in person. “I think it’s the same for both of us.”
“I don’t want to hear any puns.”
Ma Cyoju’s voice became cold and subdued.
A calm smile appeared on the Buddha’s lips.
“If I had to give a reason, it’s because I remembered an old rtionship.”
“An old rtionship?”
“I brought my old body all the way to Ye because I wanted to meet the disciple of the benefactor who saved my life. “I don’t know if I gave a satisfactory answer.”
It was the moment when the reason why the Buddha suddenly appeared here was revealed.
Iughed and stared at the Buddha’s profile.
A conversation I had with Lee Kang-hak in the past shed through my mind.
[What is your rtionship with Master?]
[A long time ago, we briefly joined forces in the process of rescuing Great Master Yongun, who was in danger.] I
never dreamed that Master’s connections would be helpful in this way.
The reason the Buddha came here was to meet me.
How could you expect something like this?
“I heard there was a close rtionship between the Thunder King and the Buddha…”
“To be honest, I’m also in a dazed mood. Who would have thought that going out on a light-hearted outing would lead to a confrontation with the religious leader? Fate is so amazing. “Isn’t that right?”
“Tsk, things are going strangely wrong.”
Ma Jyoju clicked his tongue once and turned his head to look around.
With Buddha’s presence, the morale of the chasers soared.
The three-digit number of warriors gave off a ferocious force and put pressure on the Demon Cultist.
From the religious leader’s perspective, it was a truly hopeless situation.
It didn’t even end there.
“It may be a littlete, but I will try my best to do my best.”
Another absolute expert appeared on the outskirts of the vacant lot.
This time, it was King Geom, the elder of the Namgung family.
Like Buddha, he also seems to have joined the Cheonnajimang along with the warriors of the three families.
The soldiers who recognized his identity widened their eyes.
The rumbling noise spread.
“under.”
I smiled, bared my teeth, and took a step toward Master Ma.
As many as four absolute masters gathered together to capture the Demon Cult leader.
Even the greatest expert in the world would not be able to face this level of power alone.
“…….”
But the religious leader’s response was not very encouraging.
He didn’t look embarrassed or nervous.
I carefully narrowed the distance between me and injected energy into my sword sheath.
‘Are you pretending to be calm, or is there a secret you’re hiding?’
I felt somewhat anxious.
Even after being pushed all this way, he has such a rxed attitude.
Do you really have the confidence to ovee this situation?
It was a time when such thoughts came to mind.
Ma Jiao-ju, who turned around and grabbed Sima Seohwan by the back of his head, said as if throwing him.
“White Bone Demon Emperor.”
“…….”
“Do your duty before you die.”
“Respect.”
An old man with white hair who had copsed in the corner of the vacant lot struggled to get up from his seat.
The eyes of the middle school students were all focused in his direction.
Some people looked surprised, while others showed a puzzled reaction.
‘Now, if the White Bone Demon Emperor joins, nothing will change.’
It was surprising how the White Bone Demon Emperor was still alive.
But that was all.
What on earth can an old man with irreversible, fatal injuries do in this situation?
I also suffered quite a few injuries, but they were nothingpared to the injuries suffered by the White Bone Demon Emperor.
“Hmm.”
The White Bone Demon Emperor, who supported the divine form with his cane sword, let out a moan like an animal.
Soon something surprising happened.
An explosive force suddenly erupted from the body of the dying old man.
The soldiers around me took their breath away from the thick magic energy.
‘no way.’
I muttered with a nk expression on my face.
An energy that amplifies as time passes.
Blood vessels bulge above the skin.
Eyes stained red with burst blood vessels.
It wasn’t that difficult to figure out what the White Bone Demon Emperor had done.
‘A wild magic attack?’
As one of the Six Great Geumgong (Six Dynasty Special Skills), the Pokjam Demonic Gong was a martial art that was carefully stored in the Tianlong Library, only high-ranking members of the Demonic Cult had ess to it.
Even so, there are only a few people who have ess to it, and it is a self-destructive attack that puts the caster’s life as coteral.
Naturally, among the demonic cultists, there were almost no people who had mastered the magic attack.
Unless you’re a really bad-tempered guy, you don’t learn gold skills that can only be used right before you die.
Rather than spending time and effort on such useless things, it is much better to take out insurance for survival like the Iron Blood Demon Army.
‘What is this?’
So I didn’t expect it at all.
I don’t think the White Bone Demon Emperor would have learned the jumping magic technique.
…If you think about it, there was nothing particrly strange about it.
The White Bone Demon Emperor, one of the Eight Great Demon Soldiers, would naturally have the authority to enter the Cheonlong Library.
In addition, he was the one with the highest rank among the eight great demons due to his foul temper.
“Kaaaa!”
A white bone demon that can’t stand the pain and lets out a scream-like roar.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When he swung his sword, everything in its path was cut in half.
The ground, rocks, trees, and even people.
At the same time, Ma Jiaoju, who was carrying Sima Seju by his side,unched himself at him.
‘Damn it!’
Cursing words naturally flowed out.
I thought it was all fish caught.
Things went wrong due to the sudden appearance of arge variable.
“Mak!”
“Don’t let them escape!”
The drones of the chase team stood in front of the leader, but they could not hold on for a moment and flew away.
The White Bone Demon Emperor scattered a bunch of strong energy, giving the Demon Cultist a way to escape.
The absolute experts, including myself, chased after them, but the White Bone Demon Emperor grabbed my ankles as if he had been waiting.
“Do not disturb!”
Hwang Bo-gak let out a roar and poured out his attacking fists.
The de of the ceremonial sword and hands stained with gold aimed at the White Bone Demon Emperor’s vital points from the left and right.
Surprisingly, the White Bone Demon Emperor took all the attacks with his body and moved forward.
It wasn’t that I didn’t get hit.
Even if your flesh is torn and your bones are broken, you just ignore it and hold on.
I could feel the will to buy time for the cult leader to run away without thinking about what would happen next in his life.
Chop p!
The cane sword he held out drew a strange trajectory and bent in all directions.
The drones located nearby copsed into ce with a scream.
“Big!”
The Sword King, who was exchanging hands with him in front, frowned and took a step back.
It was a scene that clearly revealed the difference in capabilities between the two sides.
The martial art that allowed me to fight on equal footing with the Blood Witch four years ago was the Pokjam Magic Attack.
Even more so, since the White Bone Demon, an absolute expert, operated it, how great was its power?
‘This is not the time to be dealing with an old man who is dying!’
It’s called a broken name.
One White Bone Demon Emperor could not stop the entire chase team.
Some people who quickly assessed the situation had already started chasing the Demon Cultist.
Buddha, who received help from King Gwon, also escaped the clearing to avoid the White Bone Demon Emperor’s interference.
The problem was that they could never catch the cult leader on their own.
‘We need to quickly clear this ce and follow along.’
I gritted my teeth and unfurled the Wolyeonggeom.
The 21st herbivorous month (敗月).
Dozens of strands of sword energy swept across the front.
At the same time, Geogeol secretly returned to the rear and aimed at the back of the White Bone Demon Emperor’s neck.
“joy!”
The White Bone Demon Emperor snorted as if it wasughable and took a strong step forward.
An enormous wave of energy rose from the toes and engulfed the entire vacant lot.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The sword energy disappeared and the sword flew away.
Unfortunately, he was not yet familiar with the use of swordsmanship to break through the waves and inflict an effective blow on the White Bone Demon Emperor.
A White Bone Demon Emperor who generously pours out his inner strength without thinking about what will happenter.
On the contrary, the pursuit team tries to preserve its strength as much as possible.
There was no need to say which side would take the lead in the fight.
Kukukuk!
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A loud noise that continues to echo.
It was a fierce battle that changed the terrain.
Numerous warriors were killed or injured.
“Wow!”
The effect of the bomb attack did notst very long.
The White Bone Demon Emperor, who had lost his life in a short period of time, spilled blood from the seven holes and copsed in ce.
Sigh!
I pierced his heart without dy and gritted my teeth as I stared at the direction where the Demon Cultist had disappeared.
It was toote.
Is this how an angler who misses a big catch feels?
In my heart, I wanted to scream and vent my anger at whatever was watching.
I managed to calm down and spoke in a suppressed voice.
“We will begin the pursuit immediately.”
