Episode 265
From the time they crossed the border of Jeongseo and entered Baekun, battles broke out frequently.
It was not simply that the frequency of attacks increased.
The attackers’ martial arts level also increased dramatically.
“Now! Shoot!”
Boom boom!
Dozens of arrows filled the air.
The soldiers of the rescue team each brandished their weapons and struck down the arrows.
‘It’s crazy.’
It was different from the group I first encountered.
Rather than blocking the path without any countermeasures, they were launching a surprise attack after thorough preparation.
‘What I’m aiming for is not the main force like me or the Poison King.’
The targets were the unmanned personnel located on the outskirts and rear of the formation.
To put it simply, they were relatively unskilled people.
Of course, the members of the first unit of the rescue team were all elites who had reached at least the peak level.
The fact that their skills were poor only meant that they were inferior compared to other rescue team members.
At least there was no one in the group who was dishonest enough to suffer from a blind arrow or something like that.
The problem was that there were sometimes experts mixed among the enemies.
Among the arrows that were shot down, there were several that were filled with powerful energy.
‘It might be okay right now, but if the forced march continues, the rescue team members will inevitably get tired. In the end, there may be someone who falls behind.’
When someone was injured, the movement of the rescue team naturally had to slow down.
That was probably what the attackers were aiming for.
Since there is no chance of winning in a head-on fight, the intention is to gradually reduce their strength.
‘The method has changed slightly, but in the end, the basic gist of the operation carried out by the Demonic Cult has not changed. It seems that they will focus solely on holding the rescue team back.’
I returned the sword in my hand to its sheath and punched the air one after another.
The sixth type of Byeokryeokwon, Tougongwon (透空拳).
Kwon Gyeok, who had a young knack for attacking, struck the faces of the warriors who were trying to jump out of the bushes on both sides.
Sigh! Sigh! Sigh! Sigh!
A heavy hitting sound rang out.
I continued to drive my horse past the unconscious warriors.
It was entirely thanks to me and the Poison King that the rescue team has moved forward without any significant damage up to now.
A poisonous king with an unusually wide sense of energy.
Added to that was me, who had learned masturbation techniques.
Most raids could be detected and prepared for in advance.
Doo doo doo doo!
The sound of horse hooves pounding the earth.
It was separate from the noise made by the horses the rescue team rode.
I narrowed my eyes and stared straight ahead.
Dang Sang-jin spoke in a voice full of energy as if warning.
“come.”
A group of horsemen appeared, raising a cloud of dust.
Everyone was holding long spears in their hands, and it seemed like they were about to rush in a straight line and hit the rescue team.
‘They are not a mixed group of renegades. ‘Are they all devils?’
I raised my tension and concentrated my energy on my fists.
I knew it intuitively.
That they are different from the enemies we have faced so far.
‘The leading two men are skilled people who are close to being experts in the 100’s. The rest are also elites of the inner circle.’
In terms of power alone, the rescue team had an overwhelming advantage.
However, unlike those who tried to hit and run, this side was in a position to minimize damage.
There was no answer as all power was exhausted before reaching Lanzhou.
The distance between the two sides quickly decreased.
The surface of the polearm facing this way was covered with a wavering energy.
“No way!”
A lively lion’s hoo (獅子吼) burst out.
As I pulled my right arm back and prepared to retaliate, I raised my head in surprise at the sudden shadow that appeared over my head.
When Yanggang Fishing Association jumped out of the saddle and swung the fishing rod, the Cheonjamsa (天蠶絲), which was released, moved as if it were alive and wrapped around a dozen long spears.
He pulled out both arms as if fishing for a fish, and the polearms tied to the fishing line flew up into the air.
“What!”
“What is this!”
A voice full of embarrassment pierced my ears.
The two men in the lead were able to retrieve their spears skillfully, but the rest of the demons could not.
‘Even if he rots, he is still a 100-year-old expert.’
I gathered the energy in my fist and drew a fierce smile on my face.
It seemed like things would be resolved easily thanks to the Yangtze Cooperation who played an active role at the perfect moment.
“die!”
Two men swinging long spears while barely passing by on either side.
Instead of avoiding the attack, I opened my arms wide.
He secured his body to the saddle using the Cheongeunchu (千斤錘) technique and used self-defense equipment to protect his upper body.

Absolutely! Quick!
Just before the two spears hit me.
A membrane of brain energy formed and covered the shoulders.
Quadddddd!
Instead of the heavy hitting sound, an unpleasant friction sound rang out.
The two men lost their balance due to inertia and fell off their horses, rolling on the ground.
“Big!”
“shit!”
There was nothing to say about the words of those who fell in the middle of the road with a hundred horses running.
The deathly screams of warriors trampled by hard hooves echoed throughout the area.
As the front line collapsed in vain, the demons in the back fell out without being able to do anything.
“ha ha ha!”
I relaxed my stiff shoulders and smiled cheerfully.
How long has it been since I felt this kind of exhilaration?
“······.”
The soldiers who were hiding in the bushes and watching quietly left the scene.
They were on standby to join in when a melee broke out, but when things didn’t go as planned, they seemed to withdraw.
After safely shaking off the attackers, I looked back and spoke to the group as if encouraging them.
“When we arrive at Jeongwonhyeon (靖远县), we will be able to take a short break. Cheer up everyone.”
* * *
“······Incompetent bastards.”
A giant who came out of the bushes with an annoyed expression looked down at the men lying on the ground and growled.
The two men who managed to get up, Lord Honma and Lord Blue Horse, bowed their heads with expressions of fear.
“It was disgraceful.
“sorry. “Demon Lord.”
“Didn’t you say that all you had to do was stop the movement of the rescue team for a moment? Was that such a difficult order?”
Quang!
As the man stamped his feet, the ground shook.
The air in the area became heavy due to the demonic energy that spewed out.
The birds that came out of the bush flapped their wings noisily and ran away to avoid the man’s speculation.
“Please have mercy just once.”
“I will definitely make it up to you.”
“With that injured body? “You’re saying something funny.”
“······.”
“Take care of your men and return. “I will follow the rescue team.”
“Respect.”
The man kicked the ground hard.
The Honma Daeju and the Blue Demon Daeju, who were staring at the back of the man who was quickly moving away, breathed a sigh of relief.
It was fortunate that the opponent was the Demon Emperor of Fengcheon.
Although he had a conniving personality, at least he was not cold-blooded and treated the lives of his subordinates like flies.
If the person who ordered the operation had been the Blood Flower Witch, they would have been beheaded and killed on the spot.
The two men stood up using the broken spear as a support and prepared to retreat with their surviving men.
* * *
Huh!
A fierce wind blew.
Every time the man took a step, the ground caved in.
‘Damn it.’
The man crossing the main street at high speed, Bungcheonmaje, muttered as if chewing.
It was a trap prepared with great care.
They attempted to take advantage of the melee to eliminate Cheonryong, the commander of the rescue team, but failed spectacularly.
‘I was a fool to trust those guys. Even so, I never thought I would be able to buy even a moment of time.’
He was hiding carefully to avoid the poison king’s senses, but there was no opportunity for him to step out.
A feeling of emptiness raised its head.
‘Heavenly Dragon, we must kill him somehow.’
What happened recently at the back door flashed through his mind.
The failure of the operation to eliminate the evil spirit by sacrificing Baekmakmun was entirely the fault of the Sacheon branch leader.
I don’t know how surprised I was to see him survive and fight back even after being attacked by me.
‘His level is higher than what is known to the public.’
Hwa-kyung at the age of 21.
He was so skilled that even he, an absolute expert, felt threatened.
Even the leader of the Demonic Cult of the time, who was said to be the greatest talent in the history of the school, could not achieve such great heights at that age.
I had no idea how dangerous he would become if he grew further here.
‘We must nip it in the bud.’
At first, I thought that the evil spirits and poison kings should be eliminated first.
But now my thoughts have changed.
Considering the future, the person we had to be most wary of was none other than Cheonryong.
‘Anyway, the Poison King is just an old man who will die within ten years. The first priority to be eliminated is none other than the Sacheon branch head.’
When I heard the news that two groups of Yeongeumdae that had gone on a mission were wiped out, I felt puzzled.
The story that the elites whom the Ma cultist personally selected and raised were wiped out because they could not do anything about one late index was not something that could be easily understood.
But now I know.
The annihilation of Yeongeum University was a natural result.
The Heavenly Dragon was not an enemy they could handle.
‘There was a reason why the leader was wary of him.’
The Bungcheon Demon Emperor, who was moving in silence, sighed deeply.
The problem was how to get rid of the Heavenly Dragon.
Even if he was an absolute master who occupied the top spot in the eight great demon armies, he could not kill him alone.
There is the Poison King by his side, and many other powerful people are stationed there.
‘In the end, there is only one way.’
He frowned and scratched his head, then clicked his tongue.
There was no other way.
‘I don’t like it, but I have no choice but to go to that woman and ask for her cooperation.’
If we asked for help from the Blood Flower Witch, who was currently pursuing the Plum Blossom Sword, we would be able to secure the power to eliminate the Heavenly Dragon.
I didn’t want to be indebted to a witch like Sagar, but now was not the time to choose between hot and cold food.
‘You will never escape the battlefield alive. ‘Heavenly Dragon.’
* * *
Quang!
The moment the hand dyed white touched the sword, a loud noise rang out.
The earth shook, and the atmosphere exploded.
The warriors around him fixed their feet on the ground using the Cheongeunchu technique to maintain balance.
“Are you okay? “Your complexion is pale.”
“The condition is not so bad that the enemy should worry.”
“Let’s see how long you can last.”
“Don’t worry. “I can hang out with you all day.”
“You’re so pretentious.”
A woman dressed in thin clothing unsuitable for the battlefield waved her white, glowing hand and cornered the old Taoist.
The old Taoist monk, swallowing a surge of nausea, suddenly took a strong step forward with his right foot and unleashed his plum blossom sword.
“······!”
The woman held her breath as the curtain of energy filled her eyes.
I never thought I would still have this much power left.
Although it seemed like an illusion at first glance, each and every sword that made up the curtain was a real plant containing enormous power.
‘As expected, the Sword Demon.’
The woman swung her crossed hands strongly.
A hand bent like a rake roughly tore apart the curtain of energy.
Quadddddd!
The energy that could not be resolved caused large and small wounds all over her body.
It was already a very revealing outfit, but after being cut and torn by the sword, it was completely reduced to tatters.
“You damn old man.”
The woman looked around with fierce eyes and swore.
The plum blossom sword had already disappeared.
I only took my eyes off him for a moment, and then he disappeared like a ghost.
The woman raised her voice as if to urge the demons around her.
“Chase! “You’re injured, so you probably haven’t gone far yet!”
