Episode 491


    “Wow!”


    A demonic cultist with a sword stuck in his chest copsed in ce, coughing up blood.


    When the battle was over, the sun was already setting in the evening.


    I took a deep breath as I looked around the fields bathed in twilight.


    ‘The cult leader did not appear until the end.’


    Although they were surprised by the sudden appearance of the White-Faced Reaper, the Allied Forces ultimately won an easy victory.


    I felt relieved but also anxious at the same time.


    Master Ma had no intention of just letting go of his hands and watching the battle unfold.


    It was the turning point that decided whether the war would be won or lost.


    It was a situation where he had to move, but there was still no news, so my doubts grew.


    ‘The Demonic Cult will have to somehow prepare the foundation for a reversal before the bncepletely copses.’


    What is up with him that makes him so quiet?


    It’s not like you’re going to give up everything and go back to Heaven.


    “Boss.”


    “Is there a problem.”


    “We have selected people who will protect thew. “Please leave the cleaning up to me and take a rest.”


    “I am okay.”


    “Aren’t you addicted?”


    “It’s no big deal. “I also took anti-inmmatory medicine given to me by the doctor.”


    “You have already fully fulfilled your role asmander-in-chief. There is no need to push yourself any further than this.”


    “…….”


    “Chief, you are the core force of the Baekdo martial arts team. “You must always keep it in perfect condition.”


    Behind Samaun and Hwadaerang, there were many Cheonan Kambu members lined up.


    I wanted to say that I was overly worried, but I couldn’t because of the piercing stares on me.


    I scratched the back of my head with a sheepish expression and then nodded.


    ‘There’s nothing really wrong with my body.’


    Just because I went to the rear and didn’t rest, it didn’t mean I didn’t take care of my body.


    Instead of swinging the sword at the forefront, he concentrated onmanding and continued to use the white lightning to burn off most of the poisonous energy.


    Since I had taken the medicine after receiving a cancetion from Seo-yeon Tang, there would be no aftereffects.


    ‘That’s right.’


    It didn’t feel that bad.


    If it were me in my past life, I would have felt ufortable rather than grateful at the worried gazes of those around me.


    Because the devil’s religion is a ce where your life is in danger if you look down on it.


    “…….”


    The members stood around me as I sat cross-legged on the floor.


    As I closed my eyes and sank my consciousness inside, I thought of those who left the battlefield to chase down the White-Faced Reaper.


    ‘The investigation is probably in full swing right now.’


    Did the White-Faced Reaper escape to the headquarters of the Demonic Cult?


    I could have sworn that wasn’t the case.


    Do you have the courage to choose a physical battle over a clear long-term field?


    He was a master of stealth and camouge.


    When running away from his pursuers, he was the one who jumped into the crowd instead of the open road.


    ‘We quickly formed a chase team, but we probably lost him in the end.’


    Is it easier said than done to catch an absolute expert who is trying to leave the battlefield among countless demons?


    The role assigned to the chase team was not to subdue the White Faced Reaper from the beginning.


    Limiting his escape route.


    ‘The real beginning begins now.’


    Shanxi (山西) was a veryrge area.


    Even if the battle line built by the demon cultists copsed, there were plenty of ces for him to hide.


    Therefore, he instructed Seo Ho-seon to form a pursuit team as quickly as possible.


    In order to conduct a group hunt and limit the ces where the White Faced Reaper can hide.


    ‘The opportunity Baek Li-seon had been longing for hase. I hope good resultse…’


    * * *


    Baek Ri-seon, the evil dragon’s disciple, closed his eyes and activated his senses.


    Various noises reach your ears.


    The others looked at him with bored expressions as he just stood still for a long time.


    After about half an hour, he opened his eyes, and the sword master touched the sword soldier and asked.


    “Is it really possible to find the White Faced Reaper this way?”


    “yes.”


    “I heard that the White-Faced Reaper is not only a master of disguise, but also a master of transmutation. If he changed his voice…”


    “Even if he did, you can tell them apart. “No matter how great the Hundred-Faced Reaper’s talents are, he cannot fool me or even Master’s ears.”


    After evil spirit Akyeoryeong joined Cheonangambu, Baek Ri-seon fell into despair for a while.


    In order to get out of his teacher’s shadow, he resigned from his position as leader of Baekrangdae and moved to a different department.


    In the end, when I had to eat one pot of rice again, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of destion.


    [I want to be a member of Cheonan Gambu. Please ept me as your subordinate.]


    [I just decided that now is the time to leave Master’s embrace.] [


    I use the honor of being a leader, but even though I am in the current White Rangdae, I am a person with only one mana. I know that fact better than anyone else.]


    It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel disappointed.


    Even though he knew his motivation for joining, he wanted to go to his teacher andin about the Dragon King who had recruited him.


    Of course, I knew it in my head.


    Master is a high-quality human resource that cannot bepared to myself.


    That he is a talent too precious to miss just because he is considerate of himself.


    But emotions don’t necessarily follow reason.


    I seriously thought about leaving Cheonan Gambu and looking for a new department.


    However, in the end, I chose to remain in the department.


    It was a waste of the bonds I had built with other club members, but more than that, it was because I had be frustrated.


    I once had such a conversation at a drinking party with Changin Dojang.


    [I will ovee it.]


    [What are you talking about so suddenly?]


    [I will definitely change my mind regardless of the shadow of this damned beauty dragon.] [


    ….. .Are you drunk?]


    You were overshadowed by your teacher and were not properly evaluated by the world?


    It was all just an excuse.


    In the end, it was a problem that could be solved by proving one’s skills and building up a track record that was recognized by everyone.


    [First, we need to hone our own strengths. I will have my own characteristics like a Western warrior or Tang Sojeo.]


    [You must be really drunk. [He seems to be weaker at alcohol than he looks.]


    Thinking about it calmly, it was impossible to catch up to the master’s level before the end of the Demon War.


    Although there are monsters who have already reached absolute heights even though they are the same age as him, he is not without conscience enough topare himself with the greatest genius in the history of martial arts.


    So, after much thought, I thoroughly delved into one martial art.


    Cheonjicheongsul (千里地聽術).


    Although it is impossible to raise the level of overall martial arts in a short period of time, it is a different story if you are mastering one special skill.


    Now I can speak confidently.


    It is said that he has reached a level where he is second to none even his teacher.


    That was the reason why Baek Ri-seon was singled out as a key figure in the chase team chasing the Baek-faced Reaper.


    ‘The stage has finally been set for me to perform.’


    Baek Li-seon’s face flushed slightly.


    The teacher, Yin Gui, could not move away from the main camp.


    It’s too much of a waste to have them join the pursuit team.


    Her martial arts were the kind that demonstrated the greatest power onrge-scale battlefields.


    ‘In a way, it’s like I came as a substitute for my teacher.’


    In other words, it could be said that he was recognized as a talented person who could rece his teacher.


    The opportunity I had been waiting for hase.


    I will definitely find and subdue the White Faced Reaper and prove my worth.


    “There are no white-faced reapers here. “We’d better get moving.”


    “Sure.”


    Seo Ho-seon nodded.


    It was he who was currently leading the pursuit party.


    Having receivedmand from Yeonsun, he obediently followed Baek Ri-seon’s opinion, so the other members had no choice but to agree.


    ‘You look distrustful.’


    Baek Li-seon looked at the reactions of the people around her and smiled bitterly.


    Even members of Cheonan Gambu, who I have known for a long time, are questioning whether this method is really effective, and others are wondering if it is outrageous.


    If he were not a disciple of the evil spirit, and if it were not for the orders of the generalmander, the Dragon King, there would have been an immediate outcry.


    ‘Let’s not be shaken. In the end, all you have to do is prove your abilities.’


    Baek Ri-seon, who hadposed herself, walked after Seo Ho-seon.


    After passing through Shanglu, Shaanxi Province, the chase team headed toward Weinan.


    * * *


    Kugugugugugung!


    A huge pit was dug.


    A thick cloud of dust engulfed the area.


    A man wearing ck long robes stood over the crushed body of Plum Blossom Swordsman and looked around.


    “…….”


    Everyone held their breath and waited for the man’s next move.


    No one had the courage to rush towards the intruders.


    Even the first disciples of the Hwasan Sect.


    Even the poisonous people of the Tang family.


    Even the plum blossom god sword and the poisonous ghost.


    “That’s a lot.”


    A low voice.


    Tang Baek felt goosebumps rising on his back.


    I heard rumors, but to be honest, I didn’t know it would be this bad.


    When I saw it in person, I couldn’t shake the feeling.


    How on earth were the Dragon King and the Thunder King able to face someone like this one on one?


    ‘This is no joke.’


    The strength went into both hands holding the memorization book.


    I couldn’t take my eyes off the man in front of me even for a moment.


    I knew it instinctively.


    A moment of inattention will lead to death.


    Danmok-gun.


    The supreme leader of the Demonic Cult.


    A person who stands at the top of all magicians.


    Late at night, a public enemy of the Baekdo martial arts group suddenly appeared alone in the middle of the Allied forces’ camp.


    Chi-ik!


    The ground turned ck.


    In the foggy Maggi, nts withered.


    The sound of someone swallowing spit rang loudly.


    “What are you doing?”


    The blurred facial features gave a strange feeling to those who saw it.


    Some people were so scared that they lost sight of their weapons and copsed in ce.


    Plum God Sword Hyeongun Dojang straightened his posture as if he had made up his mind.


    “Aren’t you aiming for my neck?”


    “…….”


    “The main body has personallye to you. Are you going to just stare at me like this and do nothing?”


    Hey!


    Someone’s shout became a signal.


    Hundreds of warriors rushed towards one person.


    An eerie smile appeared on the corner of the Demon Lord’s mouth.


    Phew!


    The demonic energy that spewed out was not enough to fill the pit, and it swallowed up all the warriors in the front line at once.


    Poison Demon and Sword Demon, who exchanged nces with each other, jumped into it at the same time.


    “Kwaaaak!”


    “Aaaah!”


    The screams echoed throughout the camp.
