Chapter 9
“Get out of the way!“
Jiwoonbo ran to the front..
“When it comes to downhill skiing, you are no match for me.!”
Jiunbo exhaled his spirit and raised his sword..
A bluish haze appeared from the sword play, and then solidified into strength..
Suddenly!
Jiang Shi's body is solid..
Blacksmithing doesn’t work well either..
But that's just 'black energy'.
It was useless in front of a strong force that could cut anything..
“I'm dying!”
Ji Yun-bo's fortune-telling sword attacked Jiang Shi..
Meanwhile, it was not only the communal faction that was active..
Other 2,300 warriors also risked their lives to fight against the blood cultists..
The troops were divided into two..
The Hangshan faction assisted the Donghong faction, and the Hwasan faction and Jongnam faction fought by assisting the coalition of political factions of the Murim League and Gansu..
“Whoop!”
Joo Seocheon held his breath and swung his sword brilliantly..
As each twenty-four count continued, the blood cultists fell to the ground with blood spraying out..
Among them, Gangsi was also included..
‘weird.’
I narrowed my eyes and looked around..
When someone dies, they are resurrected as a Jiangshi on the spot, but they are not that strong and not a threat..
‘Why is it so easy??’
It's easy, but it's too easy.
Since the elites of the political faction are gathered together, it is not surprising that they are strong..
But the nameless anxiety did not go away..
“Haha!”
I heard Gu Feng's cheering from next to me..
After that, the swordsmen of the Hwasan faction killed the blood cultists with fancy sword moves..
The military force of the Jongnam faction led by Master Eunha was unusual, and Nanju branch leader Du Jong commanded the remaining troops..
‘Where is the blood demon??’
Apparently, from what I heard, the blood demon was leading the advance team..
At first, I thought it was something I couldn't see for a moment because the battlefield became so complicated with major clashes, but as time passed, I couldn't see the blood demon..
‘Could it be Yangdong??’
I checked the rear guard just in case, but there was no one in sight..
The same thing happened when I temporarily increased my eyesight by infusing my eyesight and then looked around..
“Wow!”
“push it!”
“Let's follow the common faction.!”
Obviously, morale wasn't very good even before the battlefield started..
He looked frightened by the name Blood Demon..
Even if I washed my eyes and searched, I couldn't see the hesitation he had been showing all this time..
With great excitement, they waved the weapons in their hands and defeated the Jiangshi and the Blood Cultists..
And after a while, a noticeable change occurred..
The forces of the blood religion began to retreat little by little..
“The blood cultist runs away.!”
“As expected, there are only a ragtag group of people.!”
“Hmm, a hero of a political faction? As expected, he was a pure coward.!”
The communal faction cheered..
In this clash just now, about 300 people lost their lives and became gangshi, but there was no problem at all..
Everything was handled smoothly..
“The Bokma Sword killed Hwal Gangsi.!”
“Indeed, it is the name of Bokma.!”
“Follow the Demon Sword!”
The warriors of the Murim Alliance cheered..
Downhill skiing is difficult to deal with as you do not suffer any major injuries even if you are hit by most sword attacks..
Not only did they go to the forefront, but they handled the slide without any problem and then destroyed the blood cultists, so it was natural that their morale would rise..
The atmosphere was good.
“It's time! Everyone advance!”
Dujong rode the flow and smiled brightly..
With the sword replacing the baton, the troops of the right faction advanced forward..
Among them, the communal faction rushed in a wedge formation and marched toward the center of the blood cult..
“Where is the blood demon? Don't be afraid and come out!”
Jiwoonbo shouted excitedly..
‘Oops!’
Joo Seocheon noticed something late..
“no! It's a trap! I plan to surround!”
Because I was in a hurry, I even omitted the honorific title..
Still, he put a lot of energy into his voice and made it resonate throughout the battlefield..
“Those under siege will fall like fallen leaves at our hands anyway, so what are you worried about? ha ha ha!”
Jiunbo's laughter echoed throughout the battlefield..
“If you have a head, try thinking.!”
Joo Seocheon couldn't hold back his anger and screamed..
Beep!
Dark brown wings are leveled.
The powerful sight of me flapping my wings often was beautiful..
The situation of war is reflected in the eyes of an eagle hunting for its prey..
The communal faction cut down those who stood in their way in a wedge formation, and the blood cultists fell like leaves in the autumn wind with their swords..
Thanks to that, I was able to reach the center without any problems..
The Murim Alliance was instantly divided into two, but two species led the troops and hurriedly tried to move after the common group..
“Stop! trap! It's a trap!”
“It's a trap!”
Joo Seocheon braced his stomach and shouted desperately..
It was comparable in size to the Shaolin Temple's lion's rear..
Despite the chaos of the battlefield, that cry rang out like an echo in the mountains and pierced the eardrums of the supporters..
“stop! stop!”
Dujong, who had been shouting to charge just a moment ago, was startled by the shout..
Maybe I was momentarily frightened by the shout filled with profound energy, but the word “stop” came out without me realizing it..
‘What kind of interference is this?!’
Dujong furrowed his brow as if he was very displeased..
The moment I turned my head to ask what the hell was going on, that dissatisfaction soon turned into relief..
“Wow!”
“It's below! what is under the ground!”
Quad Deuk!
Big and small pebbles splashed upwards.
The ground cracked, but a hand covered in sand rose up from within..
Hands that may be human or jiangshi caught the ankles of the warriors of the communal faction who were rushing forward..
“100 million!”
“Wow!”
They fell and broke their noses, or had internal injuries and vomited blood due to problems with the use of internal energy..
“Is it a river poem? You hid the Jiangshi under the ground.!”
Jiunbo rolled on the ground, threw away the hand holding his ankle, and stabbed the ground with his sword..
Puuk!
Something hard, which I thought was a rock, cracked and blood flowed out..
It was almost black mixed with the sand..
Toad-duk-duk!
Meanwhile, the Jiangshi that were hiding on the ground came out..
There were hundreds of them, forming a border..
To make matters worse, a blood cultist who lost his life at the hands of the communal faction was resurrected as a jiangshi and joined..
It was just as Joo Seocheon warned..
The communal faction has fallen into a trap..
The same was true for the anti-Sanpa who was assisting right behind..
“change formation!”
Ji Yunbo did not panic and calmly gave orders..
The freely moving warriors formed a circle to form a defensive formation, but were completely surrounded..
The road that was the only entrance was blocked by rivers rising from the ground..
“You're showing off some strange tricks! Did you intend to embarrass me? It's all in vain!”
Ji Yunbo snorted and cut off the head of the Jiangshi in front of him..
I don't know about personality or personality, but the world's greatest expert is not going anywhere..
His martial arts skills and command were excellent..
“It is as the Lord of the Demon Sword said! Hengshan's disciples, do not panic and respond calmly.!”
Su-kyung was also the same..
Her voice had the power to reassure the disciples of the Donghong Sect and the Xiangshan Sect..
It's not for nothing that each sect sent them as elites..
I don't know anything else, but my skills were good..
But their mistake was their arrogance.
My fault was that I looked down on my enemies too much..
“uh?”
A foolish sound came out of the mouth of the disciple of the communal sect..
What was reflected in his eyes was the sky.
Puhwaaaak!
The sandy floor is gone.
The sand rose above him like a waterfall, but then a hand came up..
I thought he was trying to fall by grabbing my ankle like the first time, but it was completely different..
The hand grabbed the leg of the disciple of the Community Sect and dragged it down to the ground like a water ghost..
“evil!”
My body was sucked downward, as if I had fallen into an ant hell..
The disciple of the communal sect felt fear..
Powok!
However, the hole through which it was sucked in was narrow..
It was so large that a human body could not fit into it..
The student who was caught by an unidentified hand momentarily smiled in relief..
But that was only for a moment, and soon his face was contorted in pain and a cruel scream burst from his mouth..
“Wow! Save me, save me……!”
Crackling.
My bones are broken. muscles are compressed.
Bones and flesh got stuck between the rocks located at the entrance of the hole..
Normally it shouldn't be blocked here and you can't get in..
However, an unknown force from below pulled the body out..
In the end, the body that was forcibly crushed was crushed like a piece of rice cake and disappeared into the hole..
“What is this?……!”
A scream of astonishment came from Soo-kyung’s mouth..
I turned my gaze to a terrible sight that I could not bear to see with my own eyes..
“Wow!!”
“Ouch!”
“Buy, save me!”
“It hurts!”
It started as a disciple of the communal sect..
After that, screams erupted from all over the place..
An inexplicable hand shot out, grabbed the body, dragged it out, and absorbed it into the ground as if taking it to hell..
Not long after, dark red blood leaked out on top of it, and the complexions of the warriors nearby turned pale..
“Huh! What is this!”
Master Eunha could not help but sigh at the cruel sight..
“What does this mean?……?”
The Nanju branch leader, Du Jong, stopped walking, moved his mouth silently, and trembled with a face full of astonishment..
Sweat was beading on my forehead, and chicken skin was growing on my skin..
‘If you ignored the warning of Maehwajeonggeom,?’
Dujong shuddered and was afraid as he pictured himself being dragged under the ground without knowing why..
Although it is not at the level of one of the world's greatest masters, it was terrifying enough to freeze even those who were close to the pinnacle in their own way..
“What kind of witchcraft is that?!”
someone shouted as if asking a question.
The army divided in half did not dare to advance..
We only dealt with the occasional blood cultist who attacked us..
“Are there even jiangshi that live under the ground??”
Gu Feng muttered in confusion..
“It's the jiangshi who grab your ankles, but it's the demons who drag you down to the ground..”
The audience's gaze turned to Joo Seo-cheon..
“Look at this, Maehwajeonggeom. do you know about that?”
“yes. It must be a magic skill..”
Joo Seocheon answered Eunha’s question..
“Unma ball?”
“It allows them to move freely under the ground like a mole, and their hands are developed like animal claws. Since his strength is not normal, if he is attacked by surprise, he is easily defeated with his instantaneous strength..”
Even while I was kindly explaining things, the blood cultist continued to attack me..
I moved forward, cutting everything with my sword..
“We are surrounded from front and back, and demonic horses attack us from below. If we leave it like this, there will be a big disaster, so we need to help by rebuilding the escape route.!”
The members of the political faction did not know what to do at the horrific sight, but Joo Seo-cheon was not afraid and stepped forward to rescue them..
Master Eunha was impressed when he saw Joo Seo-cheon's back..
‘It's surprising that the Blood Cultists, who seem to be paralyzed and without any sense of reason, used such tactics, but he was also amazing for seeing through everything and warning them. What a strange magician..’
Even Master Eunha, one of the most senior among the martial arts people present, tilted his head..
But it wasn't strange not knowing.
That's because it wasn't long ago that Unmagong was invented..
There are many ways to make ginger poetry, one of which involves burying the living underground and slowly turning them into ginger poetry..
And the demon of the blood religion who saw this process accidentally gained enlightenment and created the Unma Gong..
Afterwards, the Blood Demon created a special unit focusing on the Unma Gong, and its power became infamous even in the future..
‘Moles who never know when they will attack you.’
Joo Seocheon looked tired as he recalled old memories..
Eonmadae of blood religion!
They were the ones who made me realize how precious it is to be able to walk with peace of mind..
After the Eonmadae were wiped out in the war, the attacks from underground stopped, but there was no peace of mind for a while..
“Do you know how to deal with it??”
Even though Master Eunha asked questions, he worked hard to deal with the blood cultists..
When I flicked my thumb and middle finger, the energy on my fingers left a trail of light like a shooting star..
Powok!
It was Jongnam’s warm and beautiful sacred place..
Every time I snapped my fingers, a hole appeared in the heads of the blood cultists and jiangshi..
“First of all, for vigilance, it is a good idea to open the air and be alert to the ground below..”
Joo Seocheon changed the direction of fortune..
As my sixth sense activated, I peeked within a three-field radius..
I don't know everything about Unmagong, but I do know about moving through ley lines..
So, it was better to check the flow of energy under the ground..
As we approached to help the isolated Gongong Sect and Hangshan Sect, one or two were caught by the blood cultists blocking our way..
“It's intrusive!”
Joo Seocheon slid straight ahead..
The sword in his hand swung brilliantly, emitting sword energy..
A bundle of sword energy scattered into the air, leaving sword marks on the surrounding blood cultists and scattering blood..
“If you have some spare energy, it's a good idea to turn your luck into Yongcheonhyeol and let it out little by little! That alone affects the ley lines and hinders the movement of the demon demons.!”
Joo Seocheon raised his voice as if to make people around him listen..
It wasn't like yelling, but it sounded loud, probably because of the force..
“Then there are two reactions! stop or!”
Paste!
While I was yelling, I felt movement underneath the ground..
Yongcheonhyeol, ejects blood from the soles of the feet and sends it to the ley line, which hinders movement, but does not prevent one from moving..
I came back only when I was not directly below..
Even so, a nearby demon came along on another ley line to remove the cause of the ley line obstruction..
“Or come at me!”
Joo Seocheon stamped his foot as he spoke..
It's not just a tap on the ground..
The weight was increased by using the method of Cheongeunchu..
Kuaang!
An explosion of bets occurred from Yongcheonhyeol..
The impact spread throughout the ground..
The ley line broke and became a mess..
The rocks below also hit..
And the hand of the sister who was just about to raise it was broken..
My finger bones were misaligned and my muscles were crushed..
“Seize the moment and don't miss the finish!”
Joo Seocheon flicked his wrist, held the sword in reverse, and struck down with all his might..
The sword pierced the ground and pierced the frozen horse..
“It's so easy, right? Let's save our allies like this!”
Enemy attacks came from the front, but I avoided them with minimal movement without even looking away..
Then he pulled the sword out of the ground and swung it in all directions, creating a blood mist..
“……”
The people watching the scene from behind couldn't keep their mouths shut..
‘What should I do with that?!
’
When you fight, your senses become sharper, so activating your energy itself is not difficult..
However, it is difficult to detect the enemy's movements under the ground and counterattack at the right moment..
It wasn't enough to concentrate, but fighting while paying attention to the attacks of nearby enemies was impossible unless you were at least at the peak level..
Master Eunha, Gu Feng, and Du Zong somehow followed suit, but other samurai barely managed to do it..
Fortunately, most of the Eonma were gathered in the center of the Dongong faction and the Hyangsan faction, so the experts could take charge..
‘good! weaker than expected!’
In my previous life, I was focused on stopping the classics, but in this life, it was different. He had no trouble.
I thought that if things continued like this, we would be able to easily break through and save our allies in danger..
however……
Shuuuut!
It was the sound of the wind cutting through. It was very cold.
An eerie wind that sent shivers down my spine cut through the air..
Joo Seocheon bent his back as if lying down and then rolled his eyes..
‘Unwoldo?’
What was aimed at the upper body was a scimitar..
Someone checked the owner, but he didn't recognize him..
There was a bit of color in his face, but his eyes were so dead that it was hard to tell if he was human or jiangshi..
“Moonlight Astronomical Stock!”
Someone recognized his identity and shouted.
‘effective wind!’
Joo Seocheon twisted his waist. Flesh and muscles fold.
I put the rotation in place and just turned my waist..
The sword he was holding in his hand also drew a semicircle along his waist..
Due to the length of the scimitar, it could not attack the body, but instead aimed for the wrist holding the weapon..
Kyaang!
‘bounce the sword?’
Joo Seocheon widened his eyes..
Hyo Hyo-feng is not an expert in outer space..
Then there was only one answer.
‘Shit! He turned the master of flower painting into a jiangshi.!’
It is quite annoying when a warrior who was a master during his lifetime becomes a jiangshi..
It goes without saying, especially if the area is a landscape..
There is no way a shaman of the level of a blood demon would have made a master of the flower world into a normal shaman..
As evidence, He Yufeng showed movements that Sijiang City could not see..
whistling!
Twist your wrist and turn over the hilt of the sword..
The blade, which was aimed at an empty space, changed direction and aimed at Joo Seocheon on the other side..
wedge!
The scimitar was drawn horizontally, leaving a ray of light..
But it wasn't completely horizontal..
It changed direction in the middle and swung at a right angle to split the body of Joo Seocheon, who was lying down on his back..
“Wow!”
Ju Seo-cheon also swung the sword he had recovered in the meantime from bottom to top..
I collided with a scimitar coming down from above..
Jjaeng!
Sparks flew as the long sword and scimitar clashed..
“……”
Joo Seo-cheon was startled, corrected his posture and took a step back..
‘strong.’
