Who threatened to call me Cheonmahara with a knife? Episode 418
Battle situation (2)
A long story of a non-partisan.
There, key figures from the Cheonmasingyo alliance gathered and held a meeting.
“They say they are now leaving Yangyang and advancing this way.”
As soon as King Geul finished speaking, a fierce aura flowed out from Wei Jin-hak’s body.
“Are the Shaolin guys coming too?”
In response to Wei Jin-hak’s question, King Geul nodded with a serious expression.
“That’s right. The figure of the old monk called Shinsung has also been discovered.”
When he heard the news that the old monk who killed the left and right guardians was approaching, Wei Jin-hak’s momentum grew even more fierce.
Jegal Se-ga-ju Jegal Mun, who had been observing the scene, opened his mouth in a calm tone.
“Master, I believe you are not trying to confront that old monk alone.”
“What are you talking about? Jegal Gaju. Are you saying that I, the leader of the Great Heavenly Demon Sect, should join forces with you?”
The fierce momentum of Wei Jin-hak, which had been flowing out indiscriminately, was focused on Zhuge Liang.
Even though he was the most incompetent of all those gathered here, Zhuge Liang was under a level of pressure that was difficult to endure, and he opened his mouth without showing it.
“You must calm down. Even the four masters of the Heavenly Demon Sect, including the Left and Right Guardians, could not defeat this old monk. Do you really think that it is possible for your cult leader to face that old monk alone?”
The shaman Jang Moon-in, Taegeuk Geom-seon, and Geul-wang also nodded in agreement and looked at Wi Jin-hak.
As Wei Jin-hak was looking at them with bloodshot eyes, Eun Wi-gak-ju, who was standing behind him, opened his mouth.
“Reverend, I also believe that what they say is correct.”
When he tried to stop Eunwi-gakju, who would not normally come forward, Wi Jin-hak closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and let out a long sigh.
“Hoooooooo.”
He also knew in his head that although his level had improved as he mastered the Heavenly Demonic Art, he was still not at a level where he could deal with that old monk.
If it was to the extent of fighting the two guardian lions of the left and right, even the current Wei Jin-hak could have attempted it, but with Hyeokryeoncheon-gang and Yan Jia-hui, it was still impossible to withstand the combined attacks of those four.
However, the old monk said that he not only withstood the attacks of the four men, but also overwhelmed them, so there was clearly a gap between them and him.
I was just angry.
The fact that the leader of the Cheonmasin religion, who was supposed to be the incarnation of nothingness, couldn’t even avenge the two elderly believers who had devoted themselves to the Cheonmasin religion for nearly a hundred years.
There was a mixture of anger towards the old monk and anger towards his own incompetence.
Wi Jin-hak, who had barely managed to calm his anger, opened his tightly shut eyes and opened his mouth.
“I promise not to fight that old monk alone. If I do that, what should I do? Jegal.”
Jegalmun let out a sigh of relief at the sight of the leader who seemed to have calmed down a little, and quickly opened his mouth.
Various plans based on the enemy’s and our forces’ strengths that we had learned during the previous Battle of Yongzhongshan continued to flow out of his mouth without pause.
* * *
Two days later.
At the foot of Mt. Mudangsan, a number of martial artists gathered.
The anti-Demonic Alliance forces had suffered considerable damage in Yongzhongshan, but their numbers were considerable thanks to the new members joining from all over the Central Plains over the past few days.
Among the martial artists who were giving off a murderous vibe, Peng Muyeol suddenly shouted and ran towards Mt. Mudang with all his might.
“Slaughter all those who join hands with those dirty cultists!!”
Peng Mu-yeol, the head of the Peng family, had already gone half-mad after losing most of his family members to Yongzhongshan’s trap.
Things like promises made to classmates and the goal of becoming the best in martial arts had long since disappeared.
Starting with Peng Muyeol’s madman-like charge, the martial artists all rushed towards Mt. Wudang.
“Let’s raise the banner of anti-democracy!!”
“Hit it!!”
Perhaps it was because emotions had already reached their peak after the Battle of Yongzhongshan. The war began without even a conversation to persuade each other to surrender.
What greeted them as they charged forward without a plan were traps prepared throughout Mt. Mudeungsan over the past few days, and surprise attacks by the Demonic Cult Alliance’s unmanned forces who had been hiding and waiting in various places.
It was a strange sight.
Crunch.
“Ugh… .”
Because there was no one who launched a surprise attack on the absolute masters, including Peng Muyeol.
While blood and screams were flying everywhere, the absolute masters were running peacefully as if they were going to a local bar. Only the occasional blind trap greeted them.
At that moment, someone appeared to stop Peng Mu-yeol, who was running comfortably.
“Peng Gaju, you look quite unwell. Why don’t you go back and calm down a bit?”
He was the king of walking.
In addition, one by one, people began to appear in various places on Mt. Wudangsan to block the enemy leaders.
The Buddha of Shaolin was blocked by the Taegeuk Sword Master, and Shin Seung Hyeonam was attacked by four masters.
The corners of Shin Seung Hyeon-am’s mouth went up at the sight of a middle-aged man running towards her, swinging a sword that was blooming with black flames.
Even though it was a monk’s smile, rather than seeming compassionate, it felt like it had a creepy, serious murderous intent.
“You are the leader of a cult.”
The old monk’s fist, which seemed to move slowly, strangely reached the sword swung by Wi Jin-hak at the exact moment.
A movement in which the process and result seem to be distorted.
Immediately after, the golden glow surrounding Hyeonam’s fist and the black flame of Wi Jinhak collided, releasing an explosive sound.
Unlike Hyeon-am, whose expression didn’t change much, Wi Jin-hak frowned.
The black flames surrounding the Heavenly Demon Sword were shaking uneasily as if they would go out at any moment, and it felt like my entire body was shaking from the shock of riding on the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Was it because Cheonma Shingong had reached the highest level and his skills had improved? Wei Jin-hak vaguely seemed to know the difference between himself and that old monk.
‘Is it a difference in ideology?’
Even though he was handling the same amount of energy, the energy handled by the old monk was much more condensed and stronger than that of Wei Jin-hak, and he appeared to be firm and unwavering.
As if the old monk’s will was more important than the rules of the world.
At that moment, the old monk raised his left hand with a look of disapproval.
visor!
Then, a sword that had appeared out of thin air clashed with the old monk’s seat.
Immediately after the Eunwigakju’s ambush failed.
“Haat!”
From the left and right, Hyukryeon Cheon-gang and Yan Jia-hui attacked the old monk with their swords and fists, respectively.
The old monk pushed away the Eunwigakju who had made an ambush, and at the same time, he used his tactic to avoid Hyeokryeoncheongang’s sword. Then, he swung his left sword at Yan Gahui who was advancing.
bang!!
With a loud noise, Yan Gahui, who had quickly crossed his arms and blocked his feet, was blown away.
In the meantime, Wei Jin-hak was still holding on, his sword locked with No Seung’s right hand, and when Hyukryeon Cheon-gang swung his sword after missing his first blow, No Seung clicked his tongue for the first time and took a step back.
In that insignificant step, Hyukryuncheon-gang saw a tiny glimmer of hope.
‘… At least, it seems like the leader can withstand that old bastard’s work.’
Hyukryeoncheon-gang and the other four people who attacked the old monk at Yongzhong Mountain together were often injured or blown away every time they fought.
Although Wi Jin-hak’s skills were inferior to those of the old monk, he did not seem to be at the level of being defeated in one go.
It could be said that it was the power of the Cheonma Sword, which could be called a new weapon, and the Cheonma Shingong, which was the best martial art of the Cheonma Shingyo.
However, the old monk who had taken a step back immediately took a step forward again and swung his right fist at Hyeokryeoncheon River.
bang!!
In that one blow, Hyukryuncheon River was blown away.
“Haat!”
Once again, Wei Jin-hak swung his Heavenly Demon Sword towards the old monk, his face turning black.
The Heavenly Demon Sword and the body of the old monk collide, and a loud explosion echoes.
Every time, Wei Jin-hak’s entire body screamed.
He didn’t spit out blood or bounce off all at once. Every time he split the sum, the shock built up in his body, and little by little, internal injuries also accumulated.
Just, Yan Gahui and Hyukryun Cheon-gang, who are fighting together. Thanks to the help of Eunwigakju, they are able to regain the leisure to catch their breath once in a while.
‘The Master’s words were right. If only I had ten more years… If only I had had time to grow my power and perfect the Heavenly Demon Art.’
Every time he was pushed back by the power of the old monk, Wei Jin-hak would unconsciously think of this.
And that thought led to anger.
‘How can someone who can’t kill his enemy even though he’s right in front of him be the leader of the Cheonma Sect?’
At some point, a dark aura began to slowly rise in his eyes.
– Surrender yourself to me.
The side effects of the Heavenly Demon God’s Power that had been barely suppressed were slowly revealing their true colors as opportunities arose.
– I am the flame that will burn down everything in the world.
* * *
Inside the walls of Ankang.
Ichimoku had a frown on his face, a worried expression on his face.
‘What on earth are those guys planning to do?’
After the first day of fighting, they formed a garrison about five miles from Angang and began to hold out.
But it was a movement that could hardly be called a sit-in.
In the past few days they’ve only launched two more sieges.
Both times, it wasn’t much different from the first day.
The plan was to just send out a few thousand shieldmen first, and then return if they failed to penetrate.
Ichimoku felt uncomfortable with their behavior, which seemed to be just trying to waste time.
At that moment, Jin Ha-yeon’s voice woke up Ilmok’s spirit.
“Left-handed, the letter from the shaman has arrived.”
Her voice, which was standing guard in front of the pavilion, was answered by Ilmok.
“Come in.”
A beggar who appeared to be an open-air thief entered the hall with her.
Ichimoku frowned after checking the letter the beggar had handed him.
There was no news that the alliance based in Mudang had collapsed.
There was news that he had somehow managed to survive the first battle.
Although it did contain the message that it was thanks to the cult leader that Shinseung was able to stop it, upon closer inspection it was not particularly good news.
Although it was successful on Mercury, the news was that the damage was quite serious.
It was even written that the internal injuries of the leader of the Wei Jinhak sect were quite serious and he was receiving urgent treatment due to the incident with Shin Seung.
The fact that they were able to successfully conquer Mercury was thanks to the fact that they had previously recruited and then withdrawn the government troops from Hubei and attacked the anti-Magic Alliance from behind.
‘I expected it when I first heard the news of the death of the Left and Right Guardians, but that old monk is the problem.’
Ichimoku sighed faintly.
It might hold out for now, but it wouldn’t be strange if the shaman collapsed at any moment.
‘Even if it doesn’t collapse, it seems like there will be damage close to a double-crossing plan.’
As Ichimoku was thinking about that, he soon realized something and muttered.
“A two-faced plan?”
Ichimoku, who opened his eyes wide, quickly shouted at Jin Ha-yeon.
“Miss Jin, please bring Comrade Do Ji-hwi and Hwang Bo-se-ga-ju!”
At the urgent voice of Ilmok, Jin Ha-yeon turned around and left the hall. Gae-bong-do, who came to hand over the letter, was also the same.
Soon, Jin Ha-yeon returned to the pavilion, leading Hwang Bo-ak and Do Ji-hui.
“Miss Jin, please listen as well.”
After stopping her from leaving the palace again, Ichimoku opened his mouth in a very small voice.
“It seems like the Central Military Commission is trying to waste time here.”
“It seemed that way, but why would they waste time?”
“It seems like they are trying to recruit more soldiers and then finish it all at once.”
“Or maybe they’re just waiting for us to get tired.”
Do Ji-hwi and Hwang Bo-ak took turns speaking and explaining their reasoning.
At their words, Ichimoku shook his head and spoke again quietly.
“Hwangbo Gaju, what was the biggest reason we got on the same boat?”
Hwang Bo-ak was momentarily troubled by the unexpected remark, but then realized something and spoke.
“Those guys. They were just waiting for the damage on both sides to pile up in the Hubei area!”
When Hwangbo Se-ga found out that the royal family was plotting to wipe out the martial arts world, he joined the Cheonma Shingyo in order to survive. From that perspective, it was not hard to infer their intentions.
Next, Ilmok showed the letter from the shaman to the three.
“If things continue like this, it’s obvious that they’ll follow the path they want.”
“What do you plan to do then?”
“Are you willing to give up on Mercury and push back those guys who are blocking your way?”
Ichimoku shook his head at their questions.
“If we push out the Central Military Command, will there be any change in the movements of the martial artists in Hubei?”
“If we send reinforcements, those guys will definitely not stay still.”
The moment some of the troops left the castle, the guys who had been quietly holding out would rush in.
In response to Commander Do Ji-hwi’s comment, Ilmok nodded as if he was right.
“So, of course, I should send it secretly, right?”
As he said that, Ilmok pointed to a map that roughly outlined the area around Angang.
A place where no roads are drawn at all.
“Aren’t there several mountains in a row starting from Mt. Godongsan (高洞山) in the northeast of Ankang? We should pass through the rugged foothills of these mountains and head towards Wudang through Shaanxi. So that they won’t notice.”
“Not only is the road difficult for soldiers to pass, but because the road is rough, it takes a long time to pass. Also, even if you can hide for a day or two, you will eventually be noticed when there are no people.”
“Don’t worry. I’m only going to send two people who can get to Mt. Wudang as quickly as possible without being noticed and before they notice.”
As he spoke, Ichimoku’s eyes were turned towards Hwang Bo-ak and Jin Ha-yeon.
