Episode 391:


    Everyone on the battlefield was overwhelmed by the presence of one person.


    Like a small animal facing a great tiger.


    The demon cultists who lost their senses due to demonic nature and the fighters of the interception team who were obsessed with victory.


    I stopped moving and looked back at the source of the noise.


    I forced my lips that wouldn’t fall apart and let out a guarded cry.


    “escape……!”


    Phew!


    Before he could finish speaking, the heads of the three Suzaku members were separated from their bodies.


    Blood poured out like a fountain, staining the air red.


    Hwaseong Ind, Jangjiang Johyeop, and Honyo Dojo reflexively rushed to stop Ma Jiaoju.


    Quang! bang! bang!


    Then it collided with something invisible and bounced away.


    I kicked my exhausted and injured body to the ground.


    If we hesitated here, the damage would increase exponentially.


    I had to suppress my embarrassment and move now.


    One after another, spheres of brain energy were formed to limit the movement of the Demon Cultist and narrow the distance between him and him.


    “…….”


    The leader’s eyes were cold as he looked at me.


    It was different from before.


    There was no attempt at conversation.


    He just clenched his fists, exuding a terrifying force as if he were enraged by the death of the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.


    Boom!


    Something huge and invisible passed by my shoulder.


    I thought I had dodged it, but the hem of my clothes tore off, exposing my skin.


    Immediately, my skin turned red.


    The tenth herbivorous Baekwol (白月).


    The exploding sword light pierced the Demon Cultist’s pupil.


    But the leader did not even blink his eyes, let alone turn his head.


    He just stared as if he was bored at the sight of a sharp de flying towards the back of his neck.


    As he briefly punched the air, a chunk of the sword flew from the side and hit my body.


    I couldn’t even scream and rolled around on the ground.


    “Ugh!”


    Is this what it feels like to be hit by a huge rock?


    I couldn’t control my body.


    ‘Damn it. ‘It was too much effort to deal with the Cheonak Army and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor.’


    There was no time to lie down and rest.


    Even while I was unable to think normally, I hit the ground hard with my fist.


    Using the repulsion force, he lifted the new model up and deflected the trajectory of the flying false steel machine with his sword.


    Quaaaang!


    The rock at the back left shattered and scattered fragments.


    ‘What about the religious leader?’


    My shaky vision returned and I immediately followed the location of the Demon Cultist with my eyes.


    The gap between each other is about half a page.


    It wasn’t within arm’s reach.


    However, if the religious leader wants to, he can ignore distance restrictions.


    ‘If you make a wrong decision, you will die.’


    The difference in power was obvious.


    It shouldn’t have been confronted head-on.


    If you can’t somehow avoid it or let it go, you’ll end up like Yan Yun Sword.


    The thirteenth herbivorous month.


    The fourteenth herbivorous month (來月).


    The illusion of a sharp sword passed through the Demon Cultist’s fist.


    At the same time, I rotated the new model and pulled the Demon Lord’s fist, which was in contact with the sword point, towards my body.


    “her.”


    For the first time, there was a change in the religious leader’s expression.


    He raised the corners of his lips as if in admiration, and the next moment he stepped strongly on the ground.


    Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!


    A wave of energy swept through the ce where I stood.


    I was helplessly pushed away, but as soon as I could regain my bnce andnd on the ground, I fell to one knee.


    “Uweek!”


    It was only after I vomited out what was inside that I was able to calm down.


    I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and red in the direction of the Demon Cultist.


    To prevent him from approaching me, the unmanned personnel of the interception unit were blocking him from a long distance.


    ‘It was dangerous.’


    Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo (天魔君臨步).


    The steps of a ruler who restrict movement in one step, steal the center of gravity in two steps, and bring everyone to their knees in three steps.


    If it had been toote to strengthen my self-defense and protect my body, the blood vessels exposed to the powerful energy wave might have burst.


    Sigh!


    Ju Hwa-baek, who had shaken off the Cheonak army with a wide swing of his long sword, attacked Ma Gyo-ju.


    The members of the main team supported him as if responding to him.


    Swords fell like rain on the leader’s head.


    Ma Qiaoju did not dodge all the attacks, but instead stood still and received them.


    As if that wasn’t enough, they evenunched a counterattack.


    The heavens and earth trembled at the fight between the two absolute masters.


    The new types of warriors caught up in the aftermath of the battle were brutally torn apart.


    ‘…This is the worst.’


    I muttered as I pushed a grain of Somyeongdan (小明丹) into my mouth.


    I couldn’t see any chance of winning.


    Despair washed over me like a wave.


    Even if there was Mujon (武尊), one of the best warriors of the Baekdo Martial Arts, he could not stop the Demon Cultist.


    The situation was different from the previous time when he confronted Ma Jyoju on the border between Jiangsu and Anhui.


    The religious leader at the time had exhausted a considerable amount of his strength while running a long way.


    This was also after a battle with members of the Baekrangdae, including Ak Yeo-ryeong.


    Because he jumped into the realm of heaven alone, he was attacked by three-digit warriors and even fought while protecting Sima Seohwan.


    In short, all kinds of unfavorable conditions were being borne.


    The reason Baekdo’s warriors were able to win was because such factors were at work.


    But what is the current situation?


    While our troops were exhausted from the long battle, the leader was fully prepared.


    Demons, including Cheonakgun, were even supporting him.


    ‘There are degrees of irrationality.’


    It didn’t feel real.


    The tilt of the war can be turned around with the appearance of just one person.


    I felt so lost about what hardships I had gone through during that time.


    “Kaaak!”


    “What are these guys?”


    The bad news did not stop there.


    Ma Qiaoju did note to Hubei alone.


    We arrived at the battlefield one step ahead to support our allies who were in danger.


    Members of the unit directly under the Demon Cultist belonging to the Heavenly Demon Pce began to appear one after another.


    Although the number of people was less than ten, the inaction of all of them wasparable to that of a hundred great masters.


    Among them, there were a number of people who held weapons that ordinary warriors did not often use, such as Yeoksalgun (逆殺君) or Amhonsi (暗昏矢).


    “Big!”


    The twenty-fourth herbivorous month (天月).


    I swung the sword I held with both hands wide, clearing a path toward the cult leader.


    A wave of energy violently swept across the front.


    Herbivorous diet was burdensome for me with my internal injuries, but now was not the time to eat cold or hot food.


    The Cheonak Army, along with the Demon Lord, were pushing Juhwabaek.


    No matter how powerful I was, I couldn’tst long against those two.


    It would not take ten breaths before the bnce was lost.


    ‘If a leader is attacked in this situation, the ranks of the allies will copse in an instant.’


    Even if it was a bit of a stretch, I had to jump back in and support him.


    I immediately dug into the side of the Cheonak Army and stretched out my left fist in unison.


    The seventh herbivorous fist of Byeokryeokken (碎腸拳).


    The moment the gut-crushing blow was blocked by the burning palm, the Demon n pretended to grab something with his right hand.


    Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!


    The rising ground came out and gathered together as if to surround the Cheonak army.


    I couldn’t keep my bnce due to the sudden change in terrain.


    Immediately after pushing me away, Cheonak took a big leap and left the position.


    ‘What kind of bastard’s hollow object.’


    Each flying fragment was the size of a house, causing visual horror.


    I’ve seen it once before, but I wondered if it was really inaction that humans could show.


    I cut the huge rock vertically with a bored expression on my face.


    bang! Quarrrrrrr!


    * * *


    In the Demonic Cult, the modifier ‘belonging to Cheonmagung’ has a very great meaning.


    The Cheonmagungdo members were basically active in the name of the Demon Cultist, so their actual status was very high.


    Naturally, many demonic cultists wanted to take that position, and the criteria for selecting archers were also strict.


    Even within the Demonic Cult, which is full of strong people, this is a group made up of only carefully selected talented people.


    Considering that Amhonsi (暗昏矢), an expert in the Flower Sutra, was a member of the Heavenly Demon Pce, it was possible to guess what the average level of the group was.


    “Kaaak!”


    “Aaaah!”


    Among the elites of the interception team, there were quite a few people who were just as skilled as them, but most of them were far from being in perfect condition.


    The battle, whichsted for more than half a day, forced them to exhaust enormous stamina and endurance.


    By now, there was no one who was not exhausted or injured.


    Even under equal conditions, it is difficult to guarantee victory or defeat, and one side has a unteral advantage.


    There was no need to say how the fight would go.


    Huge damage urred.


    In less than half an hour there were dozens of casualties.


    “Haha! “At least once, I wanted topete with the master of the jujuk, known as the best sword among women!”


    “Kill every single one of them!”


    “The leader is watching! “Don’t show disappointment!”


    The eyes of Hwaseongdo and Honyo Dojo distorted.


    Bangcheoksam, who received a new quiver of arrows from Peng Gonhu, had a hard expression on his face.


    Jang Kang Jo-hyeop, who suffered severe internal injuries from the Demon Lord, clutched his abdomen and groaned.


    ‘We are being pushed back.’


    I looked at the situation out of the corner of my eye and gritted my teeth.


    Cheonak-kun stretched out his palm as ifughing at me.


    “Where are you looking?”


    Joo Hwa-baek and I continued our difficult fight against Ma Gyo-ju and the Cheonak Army.


    Hwabaek Joo’s inaction was just as I remembered.


    Indeed, he had the skills to be considered one of the strongest members of the Baekdo Martial Arts.


    It was safe to say that it was entirely thanks to him that I was still holding on despite my serious injuries.


    There was a limit to what one could endure.


    Each attack made by the Demon Cultist contained enormous power.


    Therefore, it was close to impossible topletely block or counter it.


    The problem was that the attacks that were avoided or avoided directly resulted in damage to our troops.


    Most of the unmanned soldiers caught up in the aftermath of the fight were members of the interception team.


    What this meant was clear.


    Even though he is fighting against me and Hwabaek Joo, Lord Ma has some leeway.


    ‘It can’t go on like this.’


    I tried desperately to think about it, but I couldn’t think of a way to ovee the situation.


    Kwasik!


    Another person was caught in the aftermath of the battle and lost his life.


    The moment I saw the upper body separated from the legs, I made a nk expression.


    It was a familiar face.


    A member of Cheonan Gambu and a loyalist who served as my lieutenant for a long time.


    Hong Seong-hyeon, a monk from Hyeonsamun (賢士門).


    I felt like time had stopped.


    This was not a life to be wasted in vain in a ce like this.


    I haven’t even been able to repay you properly yet.


    Quadddd!


    The cost of being distracted by the shocking sight and stopping movement was high.


    A huge lump of artificial steel was pressing down on the body.


    At the same time, Cheonakgun’s hand dug into my chest.
