Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 36:

Dok-go-seong cannot learn the White Thunder Divine Technique.

Because it’s not a cliffhanger.

Dokgo Woo-jin was probably worried because of that.

‘It may not be as good as White Thunder Divine Gong, but Honghwa Divine Gong is also a martial art that can be called an ascending mind technique.’

The author of the Book of Military Merit was the leader of the Demonic Cult of the time.

Is it possible that a martial art created by a person of his caliber would be just a minor skill?

‘Honghwa New Technique will be a great help in overcoming the Tianum Delay.’

Perhaps, he might not simply overcome his constitution but achieve a high level.

Dokgo-seong, who is a Heavenly Yin retarder, will be able to learn Yeomgong more easily than others.

-Ah, please also tell the owner of Hwayang Merchant to prepare for a possible attack. The Demon Lord, noticing the strange situation, might use his tactics like before.

-I will do that. Is there anything else I would like to ask you to do?

-I’ll tell you about that later.

-okay. By the way, how do you know about Hwayang Sangdanju’s son?

-It’s a secret.

-What kind of guy has so many secrets?

-If you are curious, find out for yourself.

-If I could find out through separate investigation, I wouldn’t have asked you like this.

-Hao Wen’s intelligence is surprisingly not that great.

-This is real!

The night deepened on Mount Cheongseong.

* * *

One day, I was concentrating on training as usual.

“Please help me.”

“……?”

“Han O’clock is urgent. “I’ll talk more about it as we go.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong suddenly burst into the training hall and gestured as if to follow him.

A mask covering the face with a black night gown.

Seeing that they were all dressed up, it seemed like something was going on.

Without knowing why, I followed her, climbed over the wall of Hwangryongmugwan, and asked her the whole story.

“Is there a problem?”

“Cheonnyeo (天女) has been kidnapped.”

“A heavenly woman? Are you talking about Cheonhwa Cheonnyeo (天花天女) of Cheonhwaru?”

“okay.”

“Aren’t you a celebrity? “How did someone like that get kidnapped?”

“There was a person called Poisonous Snake Sword who was constantly wooing a heavenly maiden, and it seems like this guy ended up doing something.”

“Snake sword?”

“I don’t know? “He’s a pretty famous expert in Heukdo.”

“I do not know.”

Not only in my current life, but also in my past life, I have never heard of the nickname ‘Viper Sword’.

It was probably one of two things.

Either it was a name not worth remembering, or I wasn’t from this world when I came out of Jamma-dong.

“They say he was given that nickname because he was as tenacious as a poisonous snake and used sharp swordsmanship. “He is skilled, but above all, he is notorious for having no mercy towards his enemies.”

“Is there any reason why Hao Wen would step in to save the kidnapped girl?”

“Aren’t you already guessing?”

“Was the Tiannyeo also Hao Wen Dao?”

“huh.”

“Somehow, it looks like someone trained in martial arts.”

Haomun was not a group that was so cohesive and compassionate that each member of the group was involved and helped with their personal circumstances.

However, Cheonnyeo was a person of different value from Wang Il-sang, a servant of the Manjang family.

It goes as far as to say that there is a line of men carrying gold to meet her, so what more can I say?

Naturally, Haomun would have taken special care of her.

“Why does Haomun ask for my help instead of handling the matter on its own?”

Hao Wen’s eyes and ears are spread throughout the central plains.

No matter how much the Viper Sword tried to fly and crawl, it would be impossible to escape Hao Wen’s pursuit.

Still, I couldn’t figure out why they were asking me, a foreigner, for help.

“It is unlikely that you will miss the Viper Sword, but the problem is time.”

“hour?”

“If there is a delay in rescuing the heavenly maiden, problems may arise with her life. “The situation is not relaxed enough to wait for the executioners to be dispatched.”

“What you’re saying is that the nearby Haomundo Islands alone can’t handle the Viper Sword.”

Haomun’s average level of force was extremely low compared to its size.

Except for a few leaders, most disciples are just ordinary people who have not learned martial arts.

Even if you learned martial arts, the level was generally not high.

“To what extent is the Viper Sword’s inaction?”

“Transcendent. “I heard that among the martial arts warriors of the Holy City, there is no one who can compare to him.”

“The standards are vague.”

“There is a story that in his heyday, he fought against the Plum Blossom Sword of Hwasan and achieved equal status.”

“hmm… … .”

“Although the Viper Sword is strong, if you and I work together, we will be able to subdue it.”

“It’s joint work.”

“Why are you reluctant to cowardly attack one person?”

“It’s not like that.”

“Even so, please bear with me. The Viper Sword is by no means an easy opponent. In addition, there is a need to do everything possible to safely secure the hostages.”

“…….”

“Now take this.”

“What is this.”

“Signal fireworks.”

“Are you saying we should move separately?”

“There are a few spots where the Viper Sword is expected to be hidden, but since we don’t have time, I think we’ll have to split our search. As soon as you spot it, detonate it and signal. On the other hand, if they see the fireworks I launched exploding, they run straight in that direction.”

“There is one more thing I want to check.”

“What?”

“Is it the Viper Sword’s sole crime, or is there someone else behind it?”

“There is a martial arts family that contains a poisonous snake sword. “It’s called Shakyajang (析家莊).”

“Shigajang?”

“Sega is a black swordsman whose main income comes from operating gambling halls and casinos. “They say it’s a well-known family in that industry.”

“Are they involved in this?

“That’s unlikely. In the first place, the poisonous snake sword is only staying as a guest at the Shakyamuni temple, and the Shakyamuni master is not only cautious, but also a timid person. “He is not a nobleman who does not know how many different interests and connections are involved in Cheonhwaru.”

I nodded with a satisfied expression.

There was nothing to hesitate about when dealing with individuals rather than forces.

‘A transcendent expert.’

It was a car that I wanted to use in real life.

Although he sparred with Cheon Ji-ryeong a few times, he couldn’t help but feel that it wasn’t enough.

“I’m sure you don’t plan on doing it for free.”

“I will repay you properly, so don’t worry.”

“My price is high.”

“I knew you would say that.”

“Do you have any masks left?”

“Why the mask?”

“I don’t really want to stand out.”

“I have an extra, is that okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“I was using it, so you’re indirectly touching me, right?”

“I will use it well, fold it finely, and throw it away.”

“In times like that, shouldn’t you just use it well, wash it cleanly, and return it?”

“Originally I was going to do that, but I changed my mind. “I felt bad thinking that Sozer would take the mask I wore and use it again.”

Cheon Ga-ryeong glared at me with a sallow expression and handed me the mask.

I turned away from her and lifted the mask to my face.

* * *

“Hmm….”

The woman opened her eyes with a faint groan and looked around with difficulty.

Narrow and dark space.

Looking at the pile of wooden boxes, it seemed like it was a warehouse somewhere.

I wanted to move my body, but I couldn’t feel anything from the neck down.

It seemed like the demonic blood had been suppressed.

“You finally woke up.”

The wrinkled face of a man suddenly invaded my field of vision.

Tanned skin.

A long scar extending from the neck to the middle of the breast.

The woman, recognizing the other person’s identity, frowned slightly and asked.

“Where am I?”

“Do you think you’ll tell me?”

“…….”

“Screaming is no use. “Because there are no people around here.”

“I don’t know what you were thinking when you did this, but you will regret it.”

“regret? If I had any regrets, I was already sick of it. Do you know how much money I have spent meeting you so far? “Now I have nothing left.”

“…….”

“It was you who brought this situation upon yourself. If you had just accepted my advances, I wouldn’t have done this.

“That’s sophistry. “I don’t remember asking them to spend the money.”

“joy! That’s it. “Now I’m not a customer or anything, it’s this.”

“To begin with, I am not in a position to accept someone’s courtship. “My body is entangled in Cheonhwaru.”

“Is it really because of that?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, is it true that you rejected me because of my position and principles? “It’s not because I’m an old, ugly man.”

“Even if a young and handsome nobleman had confessed to me, I would have rejected him just the same.”

“You talk so well about your open mouth.”

“Do you know how many interests and connections are involved in Cheonhwaru? “The pursuers will arrive soon.”

“Do you think I would be afraid of pursuers or something?”

“If you weren’t afraid, there would be no reason to hide like this.”

“I assure you, what you expect will not happen. “Do you think I kidnapped you without even thinking?”

“……?”

“There is a helper. He’s a friend I made when I was a ronin, and he’s an expert at hiding and escaping. “He was the one who planned this incident and prepared the hideout here.”

“…!”

“When the sun sets, we will join him, take the prepared boat, go up the Yangtze River, and leave Chengdu. “If we leave the land of Sacheon like that, no matter how talented the trackers are, there will be no way for them to do anything.”

The woman, Baek Hye-un’s mouth was tightly shut.

Although he had a calm expression on the outside, he wasn’t that cool on the inside.

A feeling of despair came over me.

I knew that due to the nature of my work, I could be exposed to danger at any time.

However, when the situation finally came, it was difficult to maintain composure.

My heart was beating wildly and my mind was filled with negative thoughts.

‘I thought a day like this might come, but…’

I was feeling anxious before.

At the age of 20, she began to gain fame in earnest and became a courtesan representing Cheonhwaru, eventually earning the nickname Cheonhwacheonnyeo.

Increasing fame and a rapidly changing environment placed indescribable pressure on her.

As the interest of people around her increased, her anxiety also increased.

I have a feeling that something big will happen at some point like this.

Problems could have arisen due to the interests involved in Cheonhwaru.

There could be dangerous people among the visiting guests.

The men’s attention and love could have turned into love and hate.

Did you say it was a sign of preference?

I spent every day feeling like I was riding on the back of a tiger.

“Hehehe. “You seem embarrassed.”

Eventually, my anxiety became a reality.

I got off the tiger’s back and made eye contact with it.

“Give up. “You are destined to live with me as your father.”

Like a wild beast facing its prey, the viper sword raised its head and growled.

I was out of breath and my spine was numb.

The martial arts training I had been practicing in my spare time was of no help at this moment.

Bian Hueyun lowered her gaze and pursed her lips.

If I continued to make eye contact, I felt like tears would fall.

“There will be quite a bit of time left until the sun sets.”

“……?”

“It’s not like I have anything else to do.”

A strange heat lingered in Viper Sword’s eyes as he looked at Baek Hye-un.

Baek Hye-un, who instinctively sensed something ominous, shook her shoulders.

“What are you thinking?”

“You’re not asking because you really don’t know, right?”

Viper Sword stretched out both hands and grabbed Baek Hye-un’s collar.

Baek Hye-un’s pupils dilated greatly.

At that moment, a sharp sound pierced the ears of the two people.

Suddenly!

The left wall was cleanly cut off.

The sunlight pouring in momentarily took away Baek Hye-un’s vision.

The Viper Sword quickly rolled across the ground and retrieved the sword that had been placed on the floor, and swung it with its scabbard to block the attacker’s attack.

Whoa!

A massive wind wave swept across the area.
