Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 346

The foolish one who does not move (4)

Sacheonseong Gwangwonhyeon. A branch of Mireukmyeonggyo.

A warrior from the Mireukmyeonggyo came to Ilmok with an urgent look on his face.

“Oh, Incarnation! The nuns of the Amipa are approaching Gwangwonhyeon!”

A cynical smile appeared on Ichimoku’s lips.

‘It’s not as expected.’

Ichimoku, who had been sitting cross-legged, got up and left the hall.

“The nuns of the Amipa are approaching.”

As Ilmok shouted out his inner strength, people from all over the place came out. Among them were Hwangbo Yeon and Hwangbo Sehee.

‘Is it Haubul…?’

Ilmok asked Hwangbo Yeon, who was recalling what Hwangbo Sehee had said.

“What are we going to do about Kwon Bong?”

“As promised, I will fight against the Mireukmyungyo with the help of the Hwangbo Sega family. However, I would like my younger brother to be taken to a safe place.”

While Hwangbo Se-hee looked embarrassed at her words, Ilmok nodded and answered.

“That sounds good.”

Since Hwangbo Se-hee’s martial arts skills weren’t that great, it would have been better to let him escape.

“Buntaju, together with the people of Bunta, escort Lady Huangbo and return to Gansu Province.”

The commander hesitated for a moment at Ichimoku’s instructions, then bowed his head and answered.

“I will follow the will of the incarnation.”

The commander gave urgent instructions to those who remained in Bunta, and the people in Bunta began to move busily.

Meanwhile, Hwangbo Yeon also greeted Hwangbo Sehee.

After a while, those who had simply prepared left the hut, leaving only eleven people behind.

“If a battle is fought here, innocent civilians may be swept away, so it would be best to go out and meet the Army.”

Ilmok said this calmly and left, and the ten people who were with him followed him.

On the way out of Gwangwonhyeon, Hwangbo Yeon asked with a worried expression.

“I don’t doubt the skills of the Grand Master, but wouldn’t it be dangerous to fight the Army with just these numbers?”

To her question, Ichimoku simply shrugged his shoulders and answered.

“Don’t worry. If you feel like it’s not going to work out, just retreat.”

“???”

When Hwangbo Yeon made a bewildered expression, Ilmok smiled faintly.

“That’s why I left Gwangwonhyeon and took Lady Hwangbo to Gansu Province. This isn’t the main base of our Maitreya Sect anyway. In a hit-and-run battle, a small number of elites are more advantageous.”

Since he had planned to fight like this from the beginning, Ichimoku did not call in many reinforcements.

Among the martial artists of the Tianma Sect active in Gansu and Sichuan, only the five with the best skills were selected and called in.

‘Well, if there were enough people, I would have considered confronting them head on.’

Since the Cheonmasin Church was still suffering from a manpower shortage, it was an inevitable choice.

It was impossible to call in all those who were caring for the common people and spreading their doctrines in Gansu and Sichuan just to deal with one Amipa.

Above all, there was a risk that bringing in mediocre demons would cause even bigger problems, as they had to hide their magic in order to hide their identity as a demonic cult.

So, a total of five people, including the leader of the armed forces, including the four unmanned personnel carriers and Guyangmun, were called in.

“So, fight while guarding the rear so that you don’t get surrounded. Also, if your internal energy runs low or you get injured, don’t worry and just run away. We plan to do the same.”

At the repeated instructions, Hwangbo Yeon had a hard time hiding her embarrassment.

It was the first time she had seen a commander tell her to run away with peace of mind, let alone raise morale before a fight.

Whether Hwang Bo-yeon was flustered or not, Ilmok sent a message to Jin Ha-yeon without telling anyone else.

– Lady Jin, I will dig deep into the enemy lines to attract the attention of the Army. Do not be swayed by my movements, and hold on to the rear. If the battle line seems to be collapsing, retreat while protecting your allies. I can easily escape on my own.

It was faith in Jin Ha-yeon.

To be precise, the belief that she would be able to make cool-headed judgments without being swayed by emotions.

Jin Ha-yeon had already escaped from the extreme state, so although her emotions were somewhat revived, she answered without any hesitation.

– I will do that.

She also believed that if it was Ichimoku, she would somehow survive.

How long had it been since they had advanced with the strange instruction to ‘fight with the intention of retreating’?

As they left Gwangwonhyeon, they saw a sight of women in uniform attire flocking in from afar.

Ichimoku, who had guessed the number of enemies by eye, was lost in thought.

‘Hmm. It’s over a hundred, but probably less than a hundred and fifty.’

The number of Amipa disciples known to the Cheonmasingyo is well over two hundred.

Of course, the number would have decreased considerably due to the war with the Tang family and the war with the Blood Cult, but the Cheonmasingyo expected that there would still be at least two hundred.

Even these were sects created by the disciples of the Amipa or sects that acted as errand boys within the Amipa’s territory, and the number was limited.

But the number of people who came here was only a little over a hundred at most, so at first glance it was questionable.

And only after he had become somewhat closer to the nuns, Ilmok was able to resolve some of his doubts.

‘All the young disciples are missing.’

Judging from the appearance and the aura of the nuns, it seemed that all of the young disciples of the third generation were missing. I also thought that those of the second generation who lacked skills were missing.

In addition, judging from the attire, it seemed that the lay disciples had not been invited at all.

While Ilmok was assessing the power of the Amipa, an old nun stepped forward and shouted.

“Are you the leader of that evil group called the Maitreya Sect?”

The old nun looked straight ahead and asked.

“This is ridiculous. What gives you the right to call us a group of traitors?”

To Ilmok’s question, the nun glared at Ilmok with red-tinted eyes and answered.

“Not only do you dare to call yourself Maitreya in front of us Buddhists, but you are also deceiving living beings. What could be more evil than this?”

“Don’t you live without seeing Tokyo? Just looking at those red eyes of yours, I think this side looks more like a Buddhist than yours.”

As soon as Ilmok finished answering, the nuns behind him started screaming in frustration.

“Yes, Inom!!”

“How dare you insult the leader of the Great Army!!”

When the nuns started to shout and swear in a group, Ilmok picked at his ear with his left little finger and said,

“So, what’s going on?”

At Ichimoku’s teasing attitude, Geumjeongshinni’s already red eyes turned even redder.

At that point, it felt like it was comparable to Hyukryun Seon-ah’s red eyes.

No. While Hyukryeon Seon-ah’s pupils were red, Geumjeong Shin-ni’s entire pupils were tinted red, giving her an even more eerie feeling.

“It looks like you didn’t even carry Hwangbo Se-ga on your back! Did you really think you could kill a nun from the Amipa and get away with it?!”

“Wow… This is ridiculous.”

Ilmok tried to say something as if it was absurd, but Geumjeongshinni, possessed by evil, had no intention of listening to him.

“Shut up!! Today, I will appease the soul of Samae with your neck!! Disciples of Ami! Open the law of killing!! Capture Kwon Bong alive, and do not leave alive any of the remaining scum of the Maitreya Sect!”

As soon as Geumjeong Shinni finished shouting, the nuns of the Amipa rushed in all at once.

Ichimoku, who was watching the scene, let out a light sigh and said.

“Hold your ground and fight so as not to be surrounded. I will leave the command to Lady Jin.”

After reciting the precautions again before the battle.

Pot!

Ilmok opened his lightness alone and attacked the Amipa nuns.

At the sight of the masked man running at incredible speed, the elder of the Amipa who was rushing in at the very front was startled and swung his sword.

As if protecting her, the great disciple behind her was also swinging his spear.

Amipa.

Unlike Shaolin or the Podalap Palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty, they mainly practiced martial arts using weapons with blades, even though they were not Buddhist.

The area around Amisan Mountain, where Amipa is located, has long been famous for its many tigers, and in order to protect living beings and practitioners from tigers, the nuns of Amipa willingly used weapons with blades.

Perhaps it was because they often broke the precepts of not killing in order to catch tigers. Compared to other Buddhist sects, the Ami sect had a rather worldly atmosphere.

Although they were Buddhists who believed in enlightenment through repentance, reflection, and asceticism, they tended to pass over those who were incapable of repentance by saying that it was okay to kill them.

The animal tiger was like that, and so were the evildoers.

Therefore, among the martial arts of the Amipa, there were many that had characters like tiger (虎) or destruction (滅) in them, which were not suitable for Buddhism.

So, the nuns brandished bladed weapons and demonstrated the martial arts they had learned over decades to kill tigers.

The enemy they faced today was not something that could be dealt with with martial arts techniques used to catch tigers.

Brim. Brim.

The Ascension Sword swung by Ilmok clashes with the sword of Elder Amipa, and a continuous sound of metal echoes.

At first, it was the sound of two swords clashing, and then the noise that followed was the sound of the elder’s sword being pushed away and blocking the great disciple’s spear.

And then, an eerie cutting sound rang out.

Crunch!

The Ascension Sword split the body of the Amipa elder at the forefront in two, and the Amipa disciple next to him swung his sword at him.

However, Ichimoku neither blocked the sword nor attacked the nun who swung it.

Pot!

As if there was no time to delay, he continued forward, following the path as it was.

Crunch.

The head of the great disciple who had been stabbed in the back by the elder was cut off.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Amipa who were on both sides swung their weapons or martial arts skills at Ilmok, but Ilmok blocked or dodged the attacks with minimal movement and then launched another light attack.

His steps, moving only forward, seemed as if he were willing to be surrounded by enemy lines.

Crunch!

No one appeared to be able to stop his onslaught even for a single moment.

Crunch!

With each step Ilmok took, the battlefield once again eerie cutting sounds echoed, creating a path of blood.

The blood he produced was blatantly directed towards Geumjeongshinni.

The nuns quickly moved to surround the masked man who was running towards Geumjeongshinni, passing them by in an instant.

As they suddenly changed direction instead of charging forward, a tumultuous scene was created where the nuns got entangled with each other.

Geumjeong Jinni, who was observing the situation from behind, gritted her teeth and shouted.

“Unfold the Demon-Slaying Tiger Formation and subdue that evil demon head!”

As soon as her instructions were given, the forty-eight nuns who formed the Demon Destruction Corps moved quickly.

“Other disciples, kill the thugs of this evil group!!”

At Geumjeongshinni’s subsequent instructions, the remaining nuns turned around again and charged at the enemies remaining in the rear.

After killing more than ten nuns and moving forward, the distance between him and Geumjeongshinni was reduced to about ten steps.

Forty-eight nuns formed a circle and surrounded Ilmok.

“You wicked devil! Let’s see if you can act so wildly in front of the Great Army’s Demon Destruction Bokhojin!”

At Geumjeong Shinni’s confident shout, arsenic hung at the corner of Ilmok’s mouth.

“It’s called the Demon-Destructing Tiger Formation. Compared to the Geumgang Rama Formation of the Podalrap Palace, it’s a laughable formation.”
