Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 448

‘Tsk.’

Old Man Demon clicked his tongue and took off his mask.

There was no point in covering one’s face anymore.

What is the meaning of a mask when your identity is discovered and you are trapped in the world of heaven?

‘The timing is not good.’

By now, the demonic forces that had advanced to Hebei would have clashed with the Wulin Alliance in Hebei.

It had to be seen that there was no possibility of salvation from the Demonic Church.

‘We must somehow escape the siege on our own.’

The problem was that it was impossible to even guess how many formations there were in the area.

Each formation did not pose that much of a threat.

It seemed like quality aspects were not taken care of because of the hasty preparations.

The problem was that every time we were trapped in a camp, our location became known to the soldiers who formed the siege network.

‘The number of fights with kites who were eager to take my head has already exceeded 30 times.’

Sima Shiga was not the only one.

The affiliated sects and families, led by the Gwiju branch of the Murim League, and even the Cheonghyeoldo clan were chasing him.

I couldn’t figure out what was happening.

Just a few days ago, the political factions, the Murim Alliance and the Sadomun faction, who seemed like they were going to eat each other, somehow decided to join hands?

‘I don’t know anything else, but one thing is certain.’

At the center of all this is the Cloud Dragon.

No matter how poor the quality, there was only one martial arts force in Gwiju that could create this number of formations in a short period of time.

Simase.

I never thought I would be held captive like this.

‘Damn it.’

When the disciples of the Blue Blood Blade first attacked, I did not feel this sense of danger.

I was a little surprised, but I thought I could easily shake it off.

But as I was running away from my pursuers, I realized something was going wrong.

After being trapped in the camp several times and experiencing dangerous situations, I had no choice but to admit it.

I found myself caught in a trap.

The enemy’s purpose from the beginning was to lead them here.

‘But it’s still worth holding on to.’

Long-term play was his specialty.

I was able to survive without sleeping or eating for a few days.

The problem was that there was no benefit to just wasting time.

What if an absolute expert joins the siege by sending support from Sichuan or Honam?

It would be under intense pressure that was incomparable to what it was before.

I had to find a way out while I still had time.

‘At best, it’s just a hastily formed encirclement. If you stay calm and look for opportunities, the moment to exploit will definitely come.’

Although they temporarily joined hands to capture the Eight Great Demon Army, it was not thought that the Blue Blood Demon Gate and the martial arts forces of the White Island would be able to cooperate smoothly.

I thought that if I aimed for that point, I could somehow find a way.

“Whoa.”

A sigh escaped from Ma Seon’s lips.

I felt like I knew now.

Why did Sima Shigeju, who was so obsessed with the revival of his family, make the decision to sacrifice himself so easily?

It was only after experiencing it for myself that I realized the danger of a young man named Qi Yunlong.

‘He is an opponent who should never be looked down on. In some ways, it could be said to be a greater threat than the Ten Heavenly Emperors.’

In the past, when I heard that an iron-clad giant almost died after falling into a trap of a dragon, I laughed, but now I can’t do that anymore.

Maseon scratched the back of her head and lightly stamped her foot.

His new brother disappeared like smoke.

* * *

“It’s here! “There’s a magic ship here!”

A shout full of energy.

Immediately a sharp whistle rang out.

Ma Seon, who passed by ignoring the crowd blocking the front line using the technique of heterogeneous hwanwi, frowned sharply.

‘There are a lot.’

The frequency of attacks was becoming more frequent.

It seemed like the number of people had doubled from when the siege was first formed.

This was because local warriors, who were attracted to the huge bounty offered by the Gwiju branch of the Murim League, flocked to the area.

The pursuers, who had been passively repeating hit-and-run until not long ago, were increasingly taking aggressive attacks.

Public opinion seemed to have spread that no matter how bad the ship was, it must have been extremely exhausted as it had been pushed continuously for several days without any rest.

‘It’s not a particularly false rumor.’

A cold smile formed on the corner of Ma Seon’s mouth.

Still, I wasn’t ready to be bullied by these idiots.

Sigh!

It cut the waist of a man who had jumped in in a parabolic curve while waiting on top of a nearby tree.

From that point on, the martial arts people who had been hiding in various places came out, throwing memorized weapons and waving military flags.

“You little bastards!”

Maseon waved his left arm as if he was annoyed and stepped on the ground.

The head of the man who was running in front was torn off and the ground shook with a loud noise.

The warriors, who had lost their balance and stumbled, fell down, groaning in pain.

This was because the demon ship caught all the memorized information that came in and scattered them in all directions.

“shit!”

“Monstrous old man!”

Those who barely escaped with their lives turned and ran away, swearing.

Ma Seon only glanced at their backs and did not pursue them at all.

“Tsk.”

There was no time to catch and kill each and every unscrupulous group.

I had to leave before the noise attracted elite warriors.

* * *

Some time passed.

“……”

Sima Yun, a young man who appeared late, frowned slightly.

The corpses strewn everywhere were a sight to behold.

I expected that the damage would be considerable.

However, I had no idea that it would become this large.

They say he is the head of Maseondang.

The total amount of internal energy seemed to be so vast that it was beyond imagination.

“indeed. “The status of the Eight Great Demon Lords was not obtained through gambling.”

The Blue Blood Demon Master crossed his arms and muttered.

Although he spoke calmly, Sima Yun could tell at a glance that he was feeling tense.

“Please look here.”

The disciples of Cheonghyeoldomun investigated the remaining traces and discovered the direction in which Ma Seon fled.

Simaun, who was watching the scene while manipulating the iron wire, shed a sigh of relief.

‘Not good.’

As the Guizhou branch offered a huge bounty, the number of people participating in the subjugation operation increased significantly.

It was good that the siege had become much tighter, but the problem was that the number of victims was increasing exponentially due to all the idiots flocking in.

In proportion to the number of deaths, the fear of the existence of the Demon Ship was growing.

If things continued like this, even the slightest chance could cause one axis of the siege to collapse.

‘Maseondo is also a person. Even if you have the same strength as the Great Sea, your strength will run out someday. But…’

Will the warriors who make up Cheonnajimang follow his control until the end?

I wanted to be hopeful, but I couldn’t help but shake my head.

If hundreds of people systematically applied pressure, the problem would be resolved easily, although it may take time.

However, even at this moment, there were many people who were out of control and acting arbitrarily.

Without going far, the corpses here were a group that moved arbitrarily, blinded by the bounty.

‘There are many people who feel uncomfortable about moving in harmony with the Cheonghyeoldomun. As of now, antipathy toward the Simase family is growing.’

If we were not careful, this side might be divided before we could capture the demon ship.

After thinking for a moment, Sima Yun quickly came to a conclusion.

‘I guess I’ll have to start increasing my chances of winning.’

Maseon was also pressed for time.

Rather, he is the one who is more desperate.

If I offered a way to overcome the current situation as bait, I would definitely respond.

Even if you realize it’s a trap.

* * *

‘You idiots.’

Sigh!

Maseon shook the blood off her hands and muttered coldly.

A horrific scene filled with blood and flesh unfolded around him.

‘Even if we tried to join forces, it wouldn’t be enough, so we ended up fighting for the same reason, who found it first.’

Still, thanks to you, I started to see hope.

The hope of being able to escape the siege.

I could feel that the Cheonnaji net was becoming looser.

The number of people has increased, but solidarity has weakened.

‘This side is also quite exhausted. ‘I guess I’ll have to gradually increase my chances of winning.’

The plan was to take a breather in the hideout they found the night before and then break through the outer perimeter of the siege in one go.

Near the border of the territory controlled by Cheonghyeolmun and Soolmun.

I thought that if I aimed for that point and tried to break through by one point, a way to escape would open up.

pop! Puff!

The loud sound of firecrackers pierced my ears.

Those who had escaped for their lives were sending signals to announce their location.

Ma Seon took a big leap and climbed up a nearby tree and looked around.

Dozens of people were flocking in.

If they wanted to, they could wipe them all out, but if they were to hold them back, they wouldn’t be able to handle the rest.

‘I’ll stop thinking about it after I get out of here.’

Let’s spread light and move for a while.

A foreign sight appeared in Maseon’s eyes.

Disciples of Cheonghyeoldomun are bustling around.

And a young man stands at the center of them and gives some kind of instructions.

‘Chicken Dragon!’

The moment I saw it, I recognized the man’s identity.

Immediately, Ma Seon, who twisted the new type, kicked the air and launched himself.

As soon as he emerged from the bushes, one of the disciples of the Cheonghyeoldomun started yelling.

“coming!”

Ma Seon’s eyes grew fiercely.

Instinctively, I knew this was a trap.

But that didn’t really matter.

If we can catch the Spicy Cloud Dragon, we will be able to overcome the current situation for sure.

Anyway, it was the same that I had to take risks one way or another.

It was called ‘hojijise (騎虎之勢)’.

I couldn’t stop here.

No, it shouldn’t have stopped.

‘I don’t know what the plan is.’

One thing was certain.

The opponent also took risks and increased his chances of winning.

‘I will appreciate the spirit of putting myself up as bait.’

The devices that could be prepared in this short period of time were ultimately limited.

No matter what I prepared, I was confident that I could overcome it.

Gwiju Samjeol?

Blood red?

They simply avoided conflict as much as possible in order to preserve their strength as much as possible, but they could never do anything about themselves.

‘No matter how tired I am, do you think I can’t handle you guys?’

Ma Seon, who jumped into the formation like a bull, ran in a straight line toward Sima Yun, ignoring the attacks coming from all directions.

The self-defense equipment covering his entire body repelled all attacks.

“Stop it!”

“If it’s okay, just for a moment, grab that guy’s ankle!”

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides narrowed.

Guizhou Samjeol waved his military flag to take cover, but his hand, curved like a rake, skimmed Sima Yun’s nape even faster.

Huh!

Ma Seon’s expression was distorted like a murderous murderer.

There was no resistance that should have been conveyed through the fingertips.

It wasn’t like an illusion.

Moreover, it was not the case that he retreated, leaving behind only an afterimage, using Lee Hyeong-hwanwi’s method.

It didn’t take long to realize what kind of harmony the other person was playing.

‘Is this a true technique that distorts the object’s sense of perspective?’
