Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 417

Battle situation (1)

Those who had regained their sight and hearing turned their heads again to look at the place where the light had burst out, and there was a huge pit.

Within a radius of several dozen jang around the pit, there was only one living creature. It was Gwangmyeongjwasa Ilmok.

‘Are you really a god?’

The Shaanxi government troops were dumbfounded by the sight of at least a thousand people swept away.

A wild shout pierced their ears.

“Wow!!”

“Oh my god!!!”

Soldiers from Gansu Province shouted like fanatics in awe of the deeds of God.

Go ahead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of drums echoed continuously throughout the castle.

It was because of the instructions of Comrade Do Ji-hwi.

‘I never thought that light would be the signal.’

Comrade Do Ji-hwi, who remembered the words of the commander who said that he would give the signal as flashily as possible, moved quickly.

To the sound of the drum, the soldiers on the walls, their spirits high, all aimed their bows.

thud!!

To the sound of the drums ringing out again, they all fired arrows into the sky.

Pavababababak.

“Kuaaaah!!”

Amidst the screams of enemy soldiers everywhere.

visor!

Ichimoku also quickly swung his Ascension Sword and struck down the blind arrow.

It seemed that there were some archers who were not very good at archery.

Ichimoku, who had shot the arrow, gritted his teeth.

The moment I let my guard down, I felt like I would vomit blood.

Of course, it wasn’t because of the arrow.

‘Do I have to do this shit every time Mercury comes?’

It was the aftermath of the destruction of the world.

Thanks to my consistent training and the experience of using it in actual combat, I have rarely suffered internal injuries just from handling the qi beads.

However, the problem was that there was no one to block the explosion that would result from the destruction of the World’s End. Unlike before, Jin Ha-yeon had blocked it for him.

But I couldn’t show my inner pain.

“Wow!”

The shouts of our allies, which can be heard even at this very moment, will disappear like a mirage the moment he falls.

Instead, Ichimoku willingly deployed his lightness and charged towards the enemy, even though his stomach was twisted.

Crunch!

Every time the Ascension Sword cut and pierced the enemy’s body, the enemy’s blood energy was absorbed through the Ascension Sword.

‘Should I absorb a little more?’

Suddenly, such a thought occurred to Ilmok.

At present, there wasn’t much internal energy left in Ichimoku’s lower abdomen. This was because he had used the Void Step Step after Void Step before unleashing the World-Destruction Spirit Jade Field, and had also consumed a considerable amount of internal energy to block the aftereffects of the World-Destruction Spirit Jade Field.

– Hehehehe! Then let out your anger to your heart’s content! Drink up the blood of your enemies!!

The side effect of the Tyrant Mara Sword Technique suddenly caused a seizure.

Thanks to the additional blood energy he absorbed from the battle with the Western Army and the battle with the Cheonghae Army, his ardor in the middle of the battle increased even more, and his level of the Fierce Soul Mara Sword Technique also rose a little higher.

Under the bastard’s temptation, Ichimoku was able to willingly shake off his worries.

‘shut up!’

I couldn’t fall for that side effect guy’s tricks.

In addition to that.

‘If you absorb too much blood, you will be followed by a vengeful spirit, so it will be a loss in the long run.’

Most of the spirits currently inhabiting the Sword of Ascension were created by the Blood Cult.

That is why he acknowledged the one who destroyed Cheonhyeol Gangsi and Blood Cult as the master.

If the souls of those who died in Ilmok were to accumulate in the sword, it could cause major problems later on.

‘If the two guys inside are making a fuss, and the Ascension Sword starts to convulse, then it’s really dangerous.’

Even while Ilmok was swinging his Sword of Ascension with such alertness, arrows were continuously being shot from the walls of Angang.

“Are you planning on leaving everything up to the Left Commander?!”

Several unmanned soldiers jumped down from the wall and charged at the enemy.

Led by Hwangbo-ak and Jin Ha-yeon, only those with considerable skills within Hwangbo Se-ga and the Demonic Cult came forward.

I jumped down with mediocre skills because I could die in vain from the blinding arrows fired by my allies.

“Haat!”

Hwang Bo-ak, who was wearing a body armor, charged forward like a tank and crushed the enemies blocking his way, while Jin Ha-yeon quietly advanced and began to freeze the enemies to death.

Following the path that the two of them took, people like Hwangbo Yeon and Hyukryeon Seon-a, who were called Kwon Bong, cleaned up the remaining enemies.

Ichimoku, who realized that there were only a few enemies left in the vicinity, turned his head and looked towards the enemy base.

Was it because he had completely seized the initiative with the Mysterious Soul Jade Field, or was it because the advance troops he had sent out first were swept away in vain?

Unlike those who had ordered a charge without even a break, the enemy main force hesitated and did not send follow-up troops.

“Phew.”

Ichimoku took a deep breath and then took a deep breath.

I could smell a pungent scent of blood, whether it was the smell of corpses strewn everywhere or the smell rising from within due to internal injuries.

“Enemies, listen up!!!”

Ilmok tried hard to ignore the scent of blood and drew up the remaining energy in his lower abdomen to release the Lion’s Roar.

“The new religion is only on the side of the people!! We will punish the eunuchs and their followers who have caused the people to suffer!! If there is anyone who wishes to share the same purpose with us!! Throw down your weapons and surrender!! Those who do not!! Will not escape death!!”

Immediately after a series of thunderous screams echoed throughout the area, a cold silence descended upon the area.

I stood there and waited for a moment, but there was no response from the enemy camp until the very last moment.

* * *

The battle ended shortly, like a skirmish, two hours later.

bang!!

“What the hell is that monster talking about!”

When the commander of the central army slammed the table in the command barracks, the table exploded.

Although the vanguard was lost in vain, that part did not matter much.

Because that’s how it always was in the preliminary battles.

Of course, it wasn’t originally a skirmish. The intention was to capture Ankang in one fell swoop, but the siege was halted because the momentum had completely shifted to the enemy.

In any case, the greatest significance of the skirmish was in determining the enemy’s strength.

And based on what we learned from the skirmish, we had to devise a plan to attack the enemy.

The problem was that no solution came to mind.

Because of that, even though we continued with the second meeting, nothing progressed.

“Are you angry at me now?”

Naturally, a rift was bound to develop between the commander-in-chief and Eunuch Bang, who were leading the meeting.

As the general and the eunuch glared at each other and a chilly atmosphere flowed through the command barracks, a sound was felt as if someone was rushing towards the command barracks.

“What’s going on!”

As the commander shouted nervously, a reply was soon heard from outside.

“Now, Admiral Dongchang from the Forbidden City has come to see you!”

At that shout, the faces of the Central Commander and Eunuch Bang distorted.

I felt breathless at the thought of Taekonggong hearing the news of defeat.

In particular, Eunuch Bang’s face was distorted to the point where it was on the verge of exploding. The position of Admiral Dongchang was originally his.

Let an uneasy silence flow for a moment.

Eunuch Gong, who was also a fellow admiral and a military eunuch, entered the command barracks.

“I heard that you were defeated in the preliminary battle.”

At Eunuch Gong’s words, the faces of the Central Commander and Eunuch Bang distorted without mercy.

However, the two’s expressions soon changed at the words of Eunuch Gong that followed.

“Well done.”

At first, they thought it was sarcasm, but after seeing the expression on Eunuch Gong’s face, the two soon made dumbfounded expressions.

“Well, you did well? What, what does that mean?”

In response to the commander’s question, Eunuch Gong frowned slightly and asked back.

“Don’t you know the intentions of the Grand Master? Could it be that you were defeated because you didn’t know?”

Eunuch Bang realized the meaning behind the man’s words and quickly opened his mouth.

“Of course I know! You’re trying to wipe out all the demonic cult bastards and the martial artists of the Central Plains!”

“That’s right. His Majesty the Great said to coordinate the two armies’ plans here in the central army.”

“If it’s about tuning…. Are you perhaps considering the battlefield in Hubei?”

“I know. If the Central Plains martial artists gain the upper hand in Hubei, we can retreat to allow the Demonic Cult to send reinforcements. On the other hand, if the Demonic Cult gains the upper hand in Hubei, we can pressure this place and prevent them from sending reinforcements.”

At Eunuch Gong’s words, Eunuch Bang quickly thought about it.

“Hahaha. I expected that to be what Taekong-gong meant, but hearing it directly like this makes me feel much more at ease. I only fought the preliminary battle with the intention of putting some pressure on you, but I was worried that we might have over-estimated it.”

When Eunuch Bang showed his improvisation by even using the expression ‘we’, the Central Commander-in-Chief quickly agreed.

“That’s true. Hahaha. If that’s the case, I guess we can continue to hold a sit-in here in the future.”

They had no feelings about the five thousand soldiers who were sacrificed in that skirmish.

What if the damage was so severe that an army of two hundred thousand men was completely destroyed or disintegrated?

It didn’t matter if the damage exceeded five thousand and even reached three thousand.

All that was needed was to conscript additional soldiers from each province under the jurisdiction of the Central Military Command.

They were generals and eunuchs whose safety was more important than the lives of tens of thousands of people.

* * *

A few days ago.

A village located about half a day’s drive from Yongzhong Mountain. Yangyang County.

The villagers who originally lived there were nowhere to be found, and martial artists carrying weapons were walking around the streets here and there.

This was because the unmanned members of the Anti-Magic Alliance had established themselves there.

They did not originally expel all the commoners who were in Yangyang.

In the first place, Yangyang was close to Yongzhongshan Mountain, so it could be said to have been a place ruled by the Zhuge Liang family.

In order to prevent innocent civilians from dying, Zhuge Liang had already evacuated the civilians in order to deploy scorched earth tactics.

Only a small number of residents who refused to leave their hometown until the end remained in Yangyang.

Now they were all beheaded, their throats cut off.

The martial artists who suffered great damage at Yongzhong Mountain brutally murdered civilians to vent their anger.

While making up the strange excuse that they are evil people who have been brainwashed by the devil’s cult.

In fact, next to the bodies of the executed residents, these words were written.

[Details of the Demonic Cult]

It meant the three works of the Cheonmasingyo.

Deep inside the village, past the entrance where the corpses of innocent civilians were hanging, you would arrive at a small manor.

It was a small manor where at most ten people could barely live.

There, the surviving Shaolin monks gathered and lived.

The Shaolin abbot, who had left the grounds for a brief meeting and returned, approached the entrance to the pavilion located in a corner of the grounds.

“The Murong clan that set out from Liaoning has just arrived here today. Also, new warriors from all over the Central Plains have gathered here. Your Majesty.”

There was no answer from inside the palace.

“We also received word from those we had sent as scouts to Mt. Wudang. They said that over a thousand demonic cultists from Shamans had joined the shamans. Also, among those thousand demonic cultists, there was a new leader of the demonic cult.”

The moment the leader of the Demonic Cult was mentioned.

Inside the quiet hall, a storm-like energy surged.

For a moment, a strong typhoon of energy that seemed like it would sweep away the entire area swept through.

Soon the wind blew silently, the door to the pavilion opened, and a gaunt-looking old monk appeared.

“Sajo!! Have you finally recovered from your injuries?”

The Shaolin master shouted in a tone full of joy. There was a murderous intent in his eyes.

After most of the Shaolin monks lost their lives at Yongzhong Mountain, the abbot’s worries were put to rest.

He only thought about killing all of the Demonic Cult and its allies.

And for this, his teachings were absolutely necessary. The teachings that had recently begun to be called Shinseung (神僧).

“Amitabha. I am sorry to have kept you waiting, Venerable Abbot. My body is old, and I am recovering more slowly than younger children.”

In fact, the biggest reason why the Jeongpa forces did not pursue the Demonic Cult Alliance and instead made their base in Yangyang was because of Hyeonam’s internal injuries.

It was foolish to attack them with only the strongest power, Shin Seung, limited.

Compared to the great internal energy flowing within his body, was his weak body waiting for the day of death the problem?

Or maybe it was because he was depressed after seeing over a hundred monks die in vain.

Although Hyun-am’s internal injuries were not serious enough to threaten his life, it took a long time of six days for him to recover.

“It’s okay, Hyeonam Sajo. If only I could completely eradicate the Maguni from this land, and if only I could appease the spirits of my departed disciples, then time would be of no importance.”

“That is indeed true. However, if we continue like this, we may miss the opportunity to pay tribute to the spirit.”

Hyunam turned his stiff neck and looked in the direction of Mt. Mudang.

“In that sense, this is truly good news. The opportunity to honor the souls of the disciples who left the Demonic Cult leader so quickly has arrived.”

Following Hyeonam’s gaze, the abbot also looked towards Mt. Mudang.

A strong scent of blood and murderous intent emanated from the two old monks’ bodies.
