Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 91



Episode 91:

I remembered the conversation I had with Damwoon fifteen days ago.

[Dam Sohyeop. How about something like this?]

[……?]

[There is no law that says you must install only one Jinbeop. If we set up a maze at every possible route for him to escape, wouldn’t he get caught in at least one place?] [Yes?] [It might be

time

consuming, but I don’t think there is a more reliable method.]

[It would cost a lot of money. ]

[If it’s money, it’s okay because there’s enough money to rot.]

[Unrelated ordinary people may get involved.]

[It’s not a particularly lethal method, so it’s okay, isn’t it? In any case, the operation will be carried out in the early morning hours when there are few passers-by, and even if there are unlucky people trapped in the camp, they will be released over time.] [……In fact,

it would be much better than having casualties caused by demons. .]

As a military assassin, the current situation would not have been understandable.

You might be wondering how you knew your escape route and prepared your strategy in advance.

Sometimes ignorant methods are effective.

The camp installed here is just one of dozens of mazes placed on every street corner.

It wasn’t like they had prepared a strategy in advance in anticipation of the assassination army escaping here.

“Now there is nowhere to run. “If you want to get out of here safely, you will have to defeat me and destroy the central axis of the formation.”

“Damn… … .”

“You seem curious, so I’ll tell you one thing.”

“……?”

“How were you able to figure out the identity of the real murderer and chase him down? It’s simple. “I put Chujong incense on the chain sickle.”

“Chu Jonghyang?!”

“I borrowed the Tang family’s thousand-ri-following incense. “I had a hard time learning how to distinguish scents.”

“…!”

The assassin quickly covered his nose and mouth.

It seemed like he felt a sense of crisis when the word ‘danga’ came out of my mouth.

I burst out laughing and jumped towards the ground.

“It’s already too late.”

Yeoksalgun gritted his teeth as he watched me take the anti-inflammatory medicine out of my pocket and shove it into my mouth.

In fact, there was no need to take antidotes because he had achieved immunity to poison from all poisons.

This act was just a show to make the opponent impatient.

“Dang sojeo. Please just leave. “You might get caught up in it.”

“be careful. “Small cooperative.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

Dang Seo-yeon appeared from a distance and shook her empty pockets.

A small amount of powder remaining in the pocket flowed out and colored the surroundings hazy.

Soon, Seoyeon Dang kicked off the ground and left the place.

“…….”

The Assassin threw off his robe and mask and grabbed the chain scythe with both hands.

I stared at him with narrowed eyes and asked mockingly.

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to surrender meekly?”

“…….”

“Well, if you’re going to resist until the end.”

I pulled out my sword and pointed it at my opponent.

He was an opponent you could never let down your guard against.

Although he was exhausted and addicted, the fact that his opponent was a high-level warrior did not change.

It was the same as when he fought Lee Kang-hak.

I had to not lose concentration until the very end.

The moment I made a mistake, I could have lost my life.

Huh! Huh!

The sound of a chain scythe rotating pierced my ears.

It felt like a swarm of bees were buzzing around me.

“Sigh!”

The assassin let out a short breath and threw away his chain scythe.

The sickles and weights attached to both ends of the chain flew in from different directions, aiming for vital points.

I swung my sword, struck them down, and rushed straight towards the killer.

I shouldn’t have been scared and backed away.

If you give your opponent an advantageous distance, you will be cornered in an instant.

The third herbivorous full moon.

The sword’s trajectory drew a large circle.

The chain, which was rolling in like a rolling wave, hit the sword surface and bounced off.

Kakakang!

An unpleasant metallic sound rang out.

The assassin skillfully bit down on Shinhyeong and pulled out the chain scythe.

The blade circled in the air and fell, aiming for the top of my head.

I took a step to the side, avoided it, and then immediately entered the gap between my opponent and him.

As if he had been waiting, the assassin threw out his tightly clenched left hand.

There was one fact that not many people in the church knew about.

In fact, among the martial arts mainly used by the Yeoksalgun, martial arts were included.

Those who thought he would be weak in close range fighting and narrowed the gap between them were all killed by their heads exploding.

Although he had never interacted with him personally, he was once a brother-in-law with the same teacher, so he was well-versed in the characteristics of the martial arts he had learned.

I immediately unleashed my first attack of force and countered the blow.

The first herbivorous digging tool.

The moment fists collided, a loud noise erupted and a huge wave of light swept through the area.

Me and the assassin flew in different directions.

I did a somersault in the air, corrected my posture, kicked a nearby tree, and lunged at my opponent again.

The energy flowing along the sword body became thicker, and brain energy was overlaid on top of it.

Likewise, the Assassin Army, who corrected his stance in the air, swung his chain scythe sharply and blocked my path.

The young inner energy in the scythe part rose up and took on a clear shape.

It was a skill and strength that only those who had reached the state of hwagyeong could show.

Quang!

The moment the sword and sickle collided, I frowned at the rebound force that went through my wrist.

There was no chance of victory in a head-on confrontation.

I decided that if I repeated this a few more times, my bones and muscles would not be able to withstand it.

‘Nothing good comes from dragging it on for a long time.’

Looking at the situation, it would seem that I would have the advantage in a long game, but in reality, that was not the case.

Because there is a big difference between basic level and internal power.

Tang Seo-yeon’s Yongpok technique only narrowed the gap between me and my opponent and made them equal, but did not turn it over.

The pushed chain scythe circled sharply in the air.

I took a short breath and unfurled the Wolyeonggeom.

The twentieth herbivorous month.

Dozens of strands of sword energy poured down toward the ground.

The Assassin jumped up and dodged it, then thrust his clenched left fist into the air one after another.

Gwongyeok, who had a knack for attacking the empty space, struck the air and tapped my shoulder and knee.

Although it was quite a shock, it was not difficult to endure as I had prepared in advance.

With determination, I narrowed the distance to my opponent and lowered my sword.

The assassin grabbed the two-layer chain with both hands and lifted it above his head.

Get the card!

There was an unpleasant friction sound and sparks flew out.

The ground on which the assassin was standing collapsed and debris flew in all directions.

The struggle of power continued for a while.

I was struck in the side by a weight that flew towards my side without a sound, and I fell, spitting out blood from my mouth.

“Ugh… … .”

After rolling awkwardly on the ground, I struggled to get up.

Fortunately, we were able to reduce the shock by forming a membrane of brain energy, albeit late.

If it weren’t for the supernormal abilities of Cheonjamboui and Baekrei Shingong, he would have probably suffered significant internal injuries.

The Assassin Army kicked off the ground and swung its chain scythe as if it was going to end.

Unable to correct my posture, I barely managed to throw off the chain, then lost my balance and stumbled greatly.

In the meantime, the assassin who had come a short distance away punched me in the abdomen.

The energy in my fist rose up and took a clear shape.

“…!”

The next moment, my body was pushed to the left as if being dragged by someone.

The key to ghosting is controlling the pace and speed.

It was possible to make various changes to the movement depending on whether the body was centered on the toes or heels.

pop!

A horrifying sound rang out.

The assassin’s fist split the empty air.

‘The power is truly incredible. Even though I completely avoided it, I suffered internal injuries in the aftermath.’

I suppressed the feeling of nausea and struck the other person with a knife.

The assassin urgently tried to protect himself by forming a self-defense force, but my hand dug into his chest faster.

Sigh!

As soon as I felt my fingertips cutting into my flesh, blood spurted out.

The assassin screamed, slapped my hand away, and leapt backwards.

I exhaled ‘huh’ and shook the blood off my hands.

I was planning to kill him with this attack, but the opponent reacted faster than I expected.

“Wow!”

The assassin, who was spitting out blood from his mouth and gurgling, glared at us with bloodshot eyes and shouted.

“What kind of evil trick have you been practicing?”

“What is witchcraft? I pretended to suffer from it in the first place. “They clearly fell into a trap.”

When I was hit in the side by a chain weight and fell.

I didn’t suffer as much damage as it seemed on the outside, so I deliberately pretended to stumble and catch my opponent off guard.

Perhaps, if Yeoksalgun had not been poisoned and had mental composure, such clumsy acting would not have worked.

In the end, the factor that determined victory or defeat was psychological superiority.

Due to low energy due to poisoning and anxiety about reinforcements that might appear at any time, the assassin was unable to use his natural ability to use caution.

I dug into that and inflicted a fatal wound on him.

‘The visible wounds are not that deep, but the internal energy that penetrated into the body through the fingertips must have wreaked havoc on the blood vessels. This fight is virtually over.’

I narrowed the distance to the other person with leisurely steps.

The assassin, who stopped the bleeding with his own blood sword, adjusted his grip on the chain scythe and looked around.

“Stop giving up now.”

“…….”

“As I said before, there is no way to escape from here unless the central axis of the formation is destroyed.”

“What on earth is your identity?”

“There is no reason to teach you.”

“You know me strangely well. “You can’t push me this far without knowing everything about my personality and martial arts tactics.”

Even in a hopeless situation, the assassins did not give up.

I constantly looked around and used my head to find a way out.

I narrowed my eyes and watched his movements.

Although the situation was like a rat in a poison, there was a need to be on guard for emergencies as the opponent was a deadly force.

Because you never know what hidden tricks there might be.

‘Push forward step by step in a sure way.’

I fed the sword with plenty of energy and unleashed the Wolyeonggeom attack.

Twenty-third herbivorous month (水月).

The remnants that remained along the sword’s path crumbled into countless blades.

The assassin gritted his teeth and swung his chain scythe to protect himself.

A chain scythe wrapped around his divine form in a spiral shape.

An air membrane was formed along the surface of the chain sickle.

The illusory blade could not penetrate the membrane and fell as is.

In the meantime, I made a big leap and lowered my sword with flashing brain energy from top to bottom.

The chain broke, and the sword erupted from the sword point and roughly tore through the inside of the membrane.

However, the new form of the person who was supposed to be inside the chain scythe was not visible.

Instinctively feeling ominous, I slammed my fist into the ground just before landing.

Kwaaaaang!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the area.
