Thirty members each from the Black Sword Alliance and the Jeongcheon Alliance.
Excluding the King, the Demon King, and Majin, this was the number of people who entered the real entrance before Cheonhwa and his party.
However, the group of Black Domination that Cheonhwa first encountered consisted of only ten people, including Mine, and the reason for this was not simply to get through the complex maze-like paths and reach the innermost part more quickly.
To keep the opposing alliance’s members in check and to confuse and deter later entrants.
That was the reason why the group was divided into three groups despite the abundance of dangerous elements such as various formations, organizations, and zombies.
It may have been rather frustrating, but it also provided an opportunity for the mines lurking within them to launch a surprise attack, but I also thought that even if they hadn’t been there, they would have been destroyed together or defeated individually due to the division.
“This is a really big deal.”
It was partly because the ones who Cheonhwa and his party had pushed forward first were the jiangshi, but it was also because they had divided their numbers and were trying to restrain and hinder not only the opposing alliance.
The colleagues right next to me were also, strictly speaking, competitors.
If it were gold and silver treasures, that would be understandable, but if there was something valuable inside as they expected, there would only be one person who would have it.
There could be no such thing as friendly exchange or joint research on what was probably the secret of the world.
In addition, there was a talisman here that had the power to arouse people’s desires.
That’s why, when they encountered Cheonhwa and his party, only a small group of people responded with a normal appearance and number of people.
Before they arrived, they had already suffered considerable damage as they were fighting amongst themselves or engaging in battles with other groups they encountered along the way.
Those who encountered Cheonhwa and his party in that situation were in a better situation.
Because I attacked the zombies, but before I could do any real damage, I was beaten and subdued by Cheonhwa.
The real worst happened to two of them.
Just like the guys from the Black Alliance that I first met, there were also mines mixed in among the Jeongcheon Alliance’s group.
This meant that there were traitors of the devil hidden in both the Jeongpa and the Sapa.
They seemed to have taken advantage of the weak forces to launch a surprise attack when they were most vulnerable, annihilating their own group, and then pretended to be survivors and approached another group to repeat the same thing.
As a result, two out of the three groups of Jeongcheonmaeng were annihilated.
“Help me, please. I’ve been attacked… … .”
“What are these?”
Bam!!!
But unfortunately, the group he met while pretending to be survivors was Cheonhwa and his party, so he couldn’t even attempt a surprise attack and ended up getting beaten up, putting an end to his antics.
They also fought back by raising demonic spirits, but they were no match for Cheonhwa.
“The alliance is not united. And on top of that, we don’t even know who the spy of the Demonic Cult is… … .”
Bukgungyeon’s expression darkened as he watched the whole situation.
It’s actually okay that they were fascinated by the power of the formation and attacked each other, only seeking their own benefit.
It was expected that the internal unity would not be strong, and there was clearly room for improvement.
However, it was truly shocking that there were traitors to the Demonic Cult not only in the Sapa but also in the Jeongpa.
Because it meant that the reach of the Demonic Cult extended deeper into the Central Plains than expected.
This meant that there might be a traitor from the Demonic Cult in some of the two alliances, which could have weakened the meaning of the alliance itself.
Because there may be a spy of the Demonic Cult in the leadership who could force the members into a dangerous situation.
“Well, is that really so? It seems like they didn’t trust each other from the start anyway.”
However, Cheonhwa’s thoughts were a little different.
Not only the Sapa people who think only of themselves, but even the so-called leaders of the political faction do not seem to trust each other very much.
“And those guys, they were human faces.”
“… … !”
Moreover, all of the people who were burned to death in the magic fire were wearing human skin masks. This means that they were not really spies who had been planted in advance, but someone had harmed them and was pretending to be them by covering their faces with human skin.
The bodies were so damaged that it would be difficult to identify them accurately since they were charred and exploded, but Cheonhwa, who had examined them before, knew.
That they were fake.
“Thank goodness. Still.”
When I told him that, Bukgungyeon swept away his surprised heart.
As Cheonhwa said, the bond between the two was not that strong to begin with, and there is a difference between those who are classified as experts and elites enough to enter here and those who are traitors.
At least the warriors of Bukgung Sega will not fall for their schemes and die meaningless deaths.
“Is everything sorted out now?”
“Maybe? The two kings and the two ghosts aren’t there yet.”
In this way, all six groups of the Black Alliance and the Heavenly Alliance lost their power. Except for the two groups that were completely annihilated by the Mines, there were those who somehow managed to survive, but they had internal and external injuries, and since all of their weapons and clothes had been taken by Cheonhwa, it became difficult to advance any further.
Besides, the existing formations will be stronger inside, and we have also confirmed the appearance of Cheonhwa leading the Jiangshi army, so we will not dare to make a move.
If you try to force your way in, there’s a good chance you’ll perish before you even reach Cheonhwa.
Even though Cheonhwa had swept away most of the zombies, the danger had not disappeared, and there was a high probability that they would get caught up in the power of the formation that stimulated desires and fight among themselves, either dying or getting seriously injured.
“But we’d better hurry. The follow-up troops will arrive soon.”
But that didn’t mean it was over.
As they entered, they saw that there were numerous unmanned people outside, and since the best of each sect were gathering one after another, they wondered if other groups might be entering at this moment.
There are also formations and institutions that the advance party has destroyed, so perhaps we can advance faster and more easily than before.
That’s why Cheonhwa and his party picked up the pace.
Also, I couldn’t let my guard down yet.
All the masters belonging to the Black Sword Alliance and the Jeongcheon Alliance were eliminated, but two of the three kings and three ghosts remained.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as this side moves faster, that’s fine.”
But Cheonhwa didn’t care.
No matter how many more people come in, we can see the end from here before they reach us.
Even if we encounter them, we just have to knock them all down.
‘You noticed? It looks like you have some talent.’
That’s why I was more concerned about the King and the Demon King than the follow-up troops.
Among them, the one who was the most annoying was the professional thief, Towang.
After finding the real entrance, I unfurled the Mantongeum to check its location, but its presence has not been detected since then.
Surely, a being as great as the King of Fighters wouldn’t die here, but the fact that he wasn’t detected meant that he had used some kind of talent to escape Mantongyum’s ability to detect things, so Cheonhwa also had a different evaluation of him.
Even so, he only changed from a petty thief to a skilled thief.
If you think about it, the name Towang itself already refers to a thief, but Cheonhwa was the type who didn’t believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.
“But I agree with the idea of hurrying up. I can’t let a thief steal what’s mine.”
Although he felt slightly uneasy that his location was not detected, Cheonhwa hurriedly moved towards the end of the road.
Meanwhile, zombies appeared, and the formation and the organization blocked them, but of course, they could not slow down even a little.
Because the organs were destroyed by the performance of Cheonhwa, the energy of the formation was scattered, and the zombies were possessed and followed them.
“Huh? Speed it up!”
As they continued walking for about half an hour, Cheonhwa sensed something and hurried her pace.
That’s because, beyond the path he was walking, at the end of this path, he felt that some powerful energy was running wild.
“… …Is that guy?”
As we picked up speed in the Dharma, a battlefield soon appeared.
Someone who arrived before them was fighting a group of zombies that must have numbered at least a hundred.
“Two-gui… … !”
A fight.
He was a fighting ghost known as a fighting ghost in the martial arts world.
He was also the person Margin chased after and fought.
“It’s pretty good, isn’t it?”
The momentum of the guy who swung his sword without paying attention to the appearance of Cheonhwa and his party was truly fierce.
It was as if he was looking at a well-sharpened sword, so much so that even Cheonhwa acknowledged him.
“Huh?”
Jiiing-
At that moment, a sound spread out from among them.
The bodies of the zombies following Cheonhwa seemed to shake all at once, and then they tried to fly towards Tougwi.
“Where!”
Clang!
But the attempt was simply blocked by Cheonhwa.
It’s not that I’m hesitant or reluctant to attack the demons, but I don’t like the fact that they’re trying to take away what’s already my property.
Jiing- jieeing-
The sound continued several times, but the zombies, who were already completely controlled by Cheonhwa, did not move.
Only then did they give up, and the bastards gave up on taking control of the zombies, and they fought back with all their might.
“That’s… … at least the climax.”
However, even though they were numerous, they were no match for the Tougui.
It was rather natural.
It is known that the level of Tougwi’s martial arts is Hwagyeong, or at least close to it.
Strictly speaking, they were closer to the Sapa, but they did not have any enemies in either the Jeong or the Sapa, and they only pursued personal strength and did not build up any power, so they were not included in the Three Emperors or the Five Kings, but there was an evaluation that their martial arts level was in no way lower than theirs, so it was natural that a mere jiangshi could not handle them.
But surprisingly, the zombies were holding on well.
And that too was thanks to the work of just one corpse.
“That guy looks like he’s got a brain.”
At the very least, it is estimated that he reached the peak of his maturity during his lifetime, or perhaps even higher.
The martial artist who swung a long sword that was different from that of a martial artist and clashed with a fighting spirit was something that even a fighting spirit would have a hard time defeating.
If he had pushed himself too hard, he might have been able to win, but perhaps because Cheonhwa and his party were behind him, or perhaps because he thought this might not be the end, Togui did not push himself too hard.
All I did was sharply analyze my opponent’s movements and internal energy usage, take advantage of their openings, and steadily reduce their numbers.
It was a sight that suited the nickname of the fighting ghost, but also did not suit it, and since he could not find a reason to interfere, Cheonhwa just folded his arms and watched the scene, while Bukgungyeon, Noeryeong, and Muoh also waited with slight tension.
Right now I’m dealing with zombies, but I don’t know when they’ll jump in and what they’ll do after I kill all the zombies.
If their goals are the same as ours, they will probably attack.
If they let their guard down and allow a surprise attack, they will start off with a lot of damage, and even if it wasn’t a surprise attack, they were not sure if they would be able to take his sword from the front, so they were preparing.
Boom!
Then, one of them kicked the ground hard and jumped into the battlefield.
“Heat wave coupon!”
It’s a wire lion margin.
He, who had already fought against the demon once, could not hold back and flew into the battlefield where he was.
“Hmm?”
Whoosh whoosh-!
But it wasn’t the talisman that his authority burned.
The zombies who surround him and are carrying out their training.
He struck them, smashed them, and shook his fist, and each time, the zombies’ bodies would burn, holes would be made in them, and they would lose their ability to fight.
There were quite a few different types of zombies, including Dongnyeongjiangsi, Cheolnyeongjiangsi, Hyeolgangsi, and Dokgangsi, but they were meaningless.
Because they were all simply crushed by overwhelming force.
“… … It’s you again?”
“This time, let’s have a showdown!”
So, there was one reason why Margin helped Tugwi.
To have a showdown with him.
It seemed as if this wasn’t a fight just to secure victory, as he raised his hand to reduce the consumption of his internal energy and stamina.
Thanks to that, the formation the zombies had formed collapsed.
The pressure on Tougui was reduced, and his movements became more free.
“It’s a showdown, okay.”
Crunch-
At the same time, the tougwi started to run wild.
Taking advantage of the confusion, he cut off the zombies’ necks with one blow and rushed towards the one that had been fighting him for quite some time.
Hurrruk!
Phew!
As if he had planned it in advance, Margin launched a joint attack.
As if they had already figured out each other’s intentions, they each extended their fists and swords at angles that the guy could not dodge or block, incapacitating him.
Even the leader of the zombies couldn’t withstand that combined attack.
With a hole drilled through his dantian and his throat cut, no matter how much he had acted against the natural order, his soul could no longer be held in this world.
“It’s like looking back at my old days. I used to be a bit of a brat too.”
“Huh! How many years older are you to be showing off?”
Kuung!
The bastard’s stiff body fell flat on the floor, and that was the signal.
They both lunged at each other at the same time.
“It’ll be different than last time. Because there’s no one left to worry about.”
A thin layer of black ink was applied to the sword of the two-legged sword.
“I’ve never seen a guy who says things like that change his mind!”
Margin’s entire body was engulfed in flames.
Two fighting ghosts are entangled together.
He started to collide with everything he had.
