Episode 273
When I think about it, she was the reason I stayed away from women in my past life.
I was still able to recall vividly in my mind the memory of being dragged into the Blood Witch’s abode in a time when I didn’t know anything about it and being on the brink of death.
If she hadn’t treated me like a rare delicacy and postponed the process of indulging me, I would have turned into a tree and died.
‘It was that old man who had the most regretful expression on the day I was selected as the cult leader’s disciple.’
He was a person with whom I had many negative connections in many ways.
What more can I say, since her name was written at the top of the kill list I wrote in my past life.
‘Whoa.’
I took a deep breath, took a needle out of my pocket, and held it in my hand.
My mind calmed down.
‘There is no need to fall for provocation.’
If the fight went on, this side would have the advantage.
Kwakwakwak! bang!
At first glance, it seemed that the Poison King was tied up by the Bungcheon Demon Emperor’s onslaught, but in reality, that was not the case.
How else could a poisonous king be a poisonous king?
He was the person most skilled in poisoning and poisoning in the entire central plains.
Blood Flower Witch, Bungcheon Demon Island.
As time passed, physical freedom would gradually be taken away.
Absolutely! Quick!
Brain energy was condensed on the surface of a needle made of 10,000-year-old iron.
As the terrifying wave of energy spread, the Blood Witch’s expression changed completely.
I felt like I instinctively felt a sense of crisis.
‘It won’t be easy to avoid this while being checked by dozens of experts.’
I had no intention of rushing in like a cow girl, unable to control my excitement, and creating the situation she wanted.
I planned to focus on making my opponent thoroughly difficult.
The needle flew through the air and hit the blood witch’s palm.
There was a loud explosion that was incomparable to the previous one, and a cloud of dust engulfed the entire area.
“dare!”
Scattered hair and disheveled clothes.
Grinding her teeth, the Blood Flower Witch emerged from the dust and swung both hands bent like pitchforks at the warriors blocking the front.
A feat that tears even cast iron like a sheet of paper.
However, the rescue team’s skills were not strong enough to survive the random attacks.
The Jeomchang Five Swords crossed their swords to form a barrier, while the Plum Blossom Swordsmen and the Guizhou Samjeols targeted the Blood Flower Witch’s vital points from the left and right.
“Chiek!”
The Blood Witch jumped up from the ground with an annoyed expression on her face.
As the blades crossed the empty space, she twisted the new shape and sprayed white energy in all directions.
Kwagwagwagwak!
“Big!”
“Mmm!”
The warriors, pushed by the powerful energy, fell into a deep sleep.
As I watched, I secretly exclaimed in exclamation.
The Blood Witch’s almost acrobatic movements were surprising, but what was even more surprising was the coordination of the rescue team members.
Even though it was a hasty connection, each person’s role was clearly defined.
‘I haven’t even put it together separately, but my hands and feet fit together well.’
Not only did they adjust the distance so as not to disturb each other, but they also restricted the Blood Witch’s movements in an efficient manner.
‘At first glance, it appears that the Blood Flower Witch has the upper hand, but in reality, this is not the case.’
If it were a blood flower witch, she would have been able to lightly crush the fortune-telling sword.
However, due to pressure coming from left and right in a timely manner, he was unable to fully demonstrate his skills.
‘No matter how absolute an expert you are, you’re bound to be under pressure.’
With a smile on my face, I took out a new needle from my pocket.
As I fiddled with the needle and looked at the liver as if it were about to be thrown, the Blood Flower Witch glared at me with a nervous expression.
From her perspective, she must have been frantic as she was forced to watch my movements while being forced into a wheel battle.
‘Now, how will it come out now?’
* * *
“My lord. “I have something to report to you.”
“Say it.”
“It is said that an unknown master is wandering around Lanzhou.”
A temporary barracks located on the border between Baekun (白银) and Jeongse (定西).
After hearing the report from his subordinate, Great Lord Seonhwa tilted his head and asked back.
“What does that mean?”
“It appears that damage has been occurring continuously for three days. It is said that the Gogyeongdae was annihilated the night before.”
“Gokyung University? “Isn’t this a unit that includes many top experts?”
“The identity of the pleural effusion has not been revealed. However, looking at the traces left on the body, it is highly likely that it was the work of one person.”
“······.”
Grand Master Shenhua’s face became serious.
The fact that the identity of the beast had not yet been identified meant that the subject’s martial arts skills were that great.
‘What’s the purpose?’
Naturally, doubts arose.

Why would such a great expert show up in Lanzhou at this time?
‘Is this a Baekdo warrior who jumped into the battlefield to help the rescue team?’
The rescue team led by the Sichuan branch chief had already left Lanju and entered Baiyin.
What kind of connection is there between the unknown master and the rescue team?
I’m sure he didn’t get lost because he couldn’t join the unit.
‘I don’t know. There is too little information.’
Unfortunately, there was no time to deploy additional manpower to track the hysteresis.
Now was the time to put all efforts into establishing a siege network.
“Where is the pleural effusion?”
“They say it continues to move south, so I think it would have reached Yujunghyeon (榆中县) by now.”
“i get it. “Let’s just leave now.”
“Aren’t you going to do something?”
“It is not a matter I can decide on my own.”
Grand Master Shenhwa sighed and shook his head.
It would be a lie if I said I didn’t feel uncomfortable.
However, the role that the Blood Flower Witch entrusted to herself was to lead the troops and form a siege network.
I didn’t want to do something pointless and be held accountable by my boss, who was like the embodiment of capriciousness.
‘The matter regarding the unknown master will be buried for now until the two Demon Lords return to their unit. No matter how good a master he is, he is an individual. Even if you leave it for a while, it won’t have much of an impact on the general public.’
* * *
Command barracks inside Baekmakmun.
Zhuge Hui, the commander of the Black Night Troop under the Military Ministry, spoke to Yue Yeo-ryeong, who was sitting across from him, with a heavy expression.
“We have to meet you here.”
“Can I ask why you decided that way?”
“Each unit that went out on a mission has safely secured survivors and is returning to the Baekmakmun.”
“The report has been received. Fortunately, things seem to be going well according to the Sacheon branch manager’s plan.”
“The problem is that things are being solved too easily. “Everything in the world has a cause and effect.”
“What do you mean?”
“The people who were supposed to put the brakes on the movement of the rescue team disappeared all at once. “Where do you think they are now?”
“······Is it Ranju?”
“That’s right. In all likelihood, he would have joined the siege to trap the unit led by the Sacheon branch chief.”
The evil girl narrowed her eyes and nodded.
According to Zhuge Hui’s guess, there was a high probability that the first unit of the rescue team would be in great trouble.
Her statement that she had to meet him from here must have had that in mind.
“Perhaps the Blood Flower Witch, who was chasing the survivors of the Volcanic Sect in Lanju, issued a summons. In order to reliably subdue the main force of the rescue team.”
“Hmm.”
“So we also have to move accordingly. “If we don’t leave right away, we may not arrive on time.”
“I understand what you mean.”
Ak Yeo-ryeong got up from her seat, picked up the gold that was leaning on the table, and put it on her back.
Is it because the opinion was accepted more easily than expected?
Zhuge Hye followed her with his gaze and made a puzzled expression.
“There’s no need to look so surprised. “I just thought your judgment was right.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“What are you doing? “There would be a lot of work to be done to get moving right away.”
“I will deliver orders to the crew immediately.”
Ak Yeo-ryeong, who was staring at the back of Zhuge Hye as he left the barracks with quick steps, drew a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The reason she accepted the offer to go to war without much disagreement was not simply because she highly regarded Zhuge Hye’s insight.
The conversation she had with Yeonsun earlier flashed through her mind.
‘He is the successor chosen by Zhuge Huan, a soldier of the Meng Dynasty…’
* * *
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A loud noise rang out.
“Cough!”
Soldiers covered in dust let out a faint cough.
The dust is clearing.
‘Tsk.’
I clicked my tongue as I looked down at the messed up government office.
The Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor, who had been engaged in a fierce battle with the rescue team for about half an hour, seemed to exchange a glance before running away at the same time.
‘Anyway. ‘Not even an inch is unexpected.’
I knew that they had not come to harm the rescue team in the first place.
The reason they took it upon themselves to fight at a disadvantage was to buy time for the siege to be completed.
I looked back at the rescuers who were looking helpless and said calmly.
“I’ll move right away.”
“We need time to treat the injured.”
“Take care of minor injuries later. “Now is the time to move as quickly as possible.”
“but······.”
“The Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor will continue to attack us in the future. To slow down the movement of the rescue team. “Isn’t it impossible to take a break every time?”
“······.”
A disciple of the Jian Chang sect who insisted on taking a break reluctantly nodded.
I looked around at the rescuers climbing on their horses with tired faces and sighed softly.
Still, the damage wasn’t that big.
It was thanks to the proper coordination that suppressed the movements of the two absolute masters.
‘It didn’t take that long.’
When the Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor first appeared, my heart sank, but somehow I was able to chase them away.
Perhaps the two Demon Lords are also feeling embarrassed by now?
The result is shabby compared to taking the risk and going there on your own.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
‘It may be an overly hopeful observation, but I hope so.’
* * *
Doo doo doo doo!
The sound of horses’ hooves echoed loudly.
The rescue team continued heading south, repelling the two demon armies that attacked from time to time.
Repeated intense battles and movements.
The crew’s stamina was depleting at a rapid rate.
After crossing Jeongwon County and entering the northern part of Hoening County, the Blood Flower Witch and the Bungcheon Demon Emperor no longer appeared.
It was not difficult to guess that he had joined the main unit to prepare for the final battle.
However, instead of speeding up the movement of the rescue team, it actually became slower.
This was because the horses started foaming at the mouth and falling down one by one.
It seemed that the accumulated fatigue and injuries had finally reached their limit.
There were many injured and they lost their means of transportation, so it was inevitable that their mobility would decline.
Even the weather did not help the rescue team.
‘They say it’s true people’s fate and great destiny.’
I looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly.
Shoot!
Heavy rain was pouring down.
The solid ground gave way and turned into mud.
The worst environment was created for the rescue team who had to break through the siege.
‘But there is no time to wait until the rain stops.’
The longer you delay here, the stronger the siege becomes.
There was no choice but to overcome the adverse conditions and move forward.
While I was quietly staring at the camp of demons in front, I glanced sideways at the rescuers behind me and made a signal with my hand.
Chachaechaechaeng!
The rescue team members, each drawing their weapons, kicked the ground at the same time.
And so, the final battle that would decide the fate of the rescue team began.
