Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 497:

I thought they wouldn’t let me go easily.

Although I had distanced myself enough, I also knew that it was too early to feel safe.

But no matter what, it’s still like that.

Isn’t the chasing speed too fast?

‘no way.’

Why did he think he would just let me go even after seeing me running away?

The White Face Shinigami glanced at his body with narrowed eyes and clicked his tongue.

Chujonghyang (追從香).

Otherwise, I couldn’t explain the current situation.

‘I know exactly where this is.’

Straight movement without any hesitation.

There was no way it would have been possible to track him, who had hidden himself using stealth techniques, unless he had used some special means.

‘…That’s amazing. It’s such a well-organized system that it’s hard to believe that it came up in a short period of time.’

The main force follows behind, maintaining a certain distance, leaving the chase to Mi-ryong (美龍).

When the pursuit party stops moving, they use them as the central axis to form a heavenly net and gradually narrow the encirclement to put pressure on the target.

I thought this was the Dragon King’s plan.

However, it turned out that they had made arrangements in case something went wrong.

The first is the distributed arrangement of dragons and sound spirits.

The second is Chujonghyang given to the commander of the pursuit team.

It was clear that measures had been taken to ensure that there would be no problem even if the existence of the pursuit team was discovered and a fight broke out with the target.

‘Did you say it was Seo Ho-seon?’

The face of a man who was making unusual movements flashed through my mind.

Since he was a person involved in the death of a murderous ghost, I remembered his appearance and name.

I heard that he was a talent that the Dragon King cherished, and I thought he was worthy of it.

I should have been alert when I realized that the person leading the rescue team was not Geomhu or Gamwon.

I never thought I would have secretly buried Chujonghyang in it.

Even considering that it took place during a melee, I could only say that it was amazing.

‘You can erase Chu Jong-hyang as much as you want if you want…’

The problem was that there was no time to reorganize.

We had to prepare for a battle with the Dragon King, who was closing the distance every moment.

‘You must have run a long way, but you don’t look the least bit tired.’

I was able to see it clearly as I concentrated my energy on my eyes and increased my eye power.

The image of a young man throwing white lightning in all directions.

It flew through the air one after another, and every time it stamped its feet, there was an ear-splitting explosion.

It seemed like he had no intention of hiding his presence.

“Whoa.”

The White Face Reaper’s eyes calmed down.

In times like these, I had to be more cool-headed.

After catching his breath, he closed his eyes for a moment and contemplated the state of his body.

A considerable amount of strength was expended while engaging in combat with the pursuit party.

Although there were no visible injuries, he actually suffered some internal injuries.

In the process of blocking the last sword blow, he lost two swords.

‘No problem.’

It would be difficult to defeat the Dragon King.

I just messed with it for a while, but I was able to figure it out.

That he has grown incomparably compared to before.

The worries and concerns felt in Hubei have become reality.

The buds that were not cut off grew rapidly and became large trees.

Maybe even if he was in perfect condition, he might not be able to win against him now.

Not to mention that I was exhausted and injured.

‘But differences in capabilities and situational advantages and disadvantages are not the only factors that determine victory or defeat.’

There was a difference in the experiences accumulated over the years.

The reason he survived so far despite carrying out numerous murderous and dangerous missions was not simply because his martial arts skills were high.

‘I will never let you reach the place where the religious leader is.’

It was an opponent that must be eliminated for the sake of the Great Precepts.

Even if he died here, it would be beneficial for the Demonic Cult if he could be with the Dragon King.

Coooooo!

The young man’s new form, wrapped in white electric current, fell from the sky.

The ground was deeply hollowed out and the entire area shook as if there had been an earthquake.

In a billowing cloud of dust.

The young man, who was taking steps with a fearsome force, spoke as if he was throwing something.

“There is no need for a long word between us.”

“…….”

“Let’s fight until one of us dies.”

The brain energy condensed at the tip of the young man’s sword exploded.

The White-Faced Shinigami swung the sword in his hand sideways against the white light that filled his vision.

Sigh!

* * *

Boom! Kukukuk!

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!

The fight between me and the White Faced Reaper completely changed the terrain of the area.

The expression ‘the opening of heaven and earth’ is probably used in times like these.

Quang!

The sphere of thunder energy exploded, pushing away the new form of the White Faced Reaper.

I guided the opponent to retreat to the side, and as if I had been waiting, I unleashed the first attack of the Wolyeonggeom to apply pressure.

The 21st herbivorous month (敗月).

Dozens of strands of sword energy poured out and swept the front lines.

The white-faced reaper jumped up from the ground and counterattacked with strong energy.

‘I got caught.’

Instead of dodging the attack, I caught it with my body and rushed forward.

Now was an opportunity when the opponent’s movements were not free.

Even if he leapt again by leaping into the air, he would not be able to avoid the subsequent herbivory.

The twenty-fourth herbivorous month (天月).

Following the sword’s path, the remaining remnants crumbled and turned into countless energy swords.

“…….”

The White Faced Reaper was not embarrassed by the strong waves that filled his feet.

Surprisingly, one of the swords floating in the air flew at his feet and supported the new figure.

‘her.’

I laughed out loud as I watched him leisurely get out of the range of herbivory.

It’s a sword flight.

There was no real heron in the story.

The difference is that it flies on a sword instead of a cloud.

‘It doesn’t give you time to rest.’

I chased after my opponent, kicking the air repeatedly to prevent him from increasing the distance.

I had to push through without giving myself any time to relax.

Although I was already in an advantageous situation, I could secure victory more clearly by turning the fight into a war of attrition.

There are two main premises.

The first was to follow through without giving up until the end, and the second was to constantly put pressure on the other party to prevent them from coming up with a solution.

The density and utilization efficiency of the body’s internal power.

Either way, mine was superior.

As time goes by, the balance will naturally tilt.

‘If the situation has reached this point, no matter what we do, we will not be able to turn it around.’

There was no way I couldn’t have thought of the White Faced Reaper.

He must have wanted to somehow elude me and regroup.

But it was impossible for him to shake me off unless I erased his obsession with me.

What would you do if you used the ghost song’s vision to escape sight, kill its presence, and deceive your senses?

It has no meaning beyond creating a temporary gap.

Whoops!

A cat-and-mouse chase ensued.

The places that I and the Baek-faced Reaper passed by were literally devastated.

Broken trees tumbled down the slope and fragments of broken rocks flew in all directions.

The earth flipped over, and even the entire ground collapsed.

Shhh!

A dagger flying from the blind spot of vision.

Instead of moving to the side and dodging, I further narrowed the distance between me and my opponent.

The fifth herbivorous half moon.

Geogwal, who rose up in a gentle curve, struck down the dagger.

And the next moment, it fell on the head of the White Faced Reaper.

At the same time, pseudo-shaped blades are created in the air.

The White-Faced Reaper, who was immediately in danger, countered the attack without dodging or letting go.

By exploding all the internal strength he had saved up, he pushed away all threats targeting him.

‘Amazing.’

I bounced, somersaulted, and landed on the floor, amazed.

I wasn’t surprised that I still had this much energy left.

I was surprised to learn that such great power had been completely stored away and hidden for so long.

It is said that a person’s true worth is revealed when he or she is cornered, and it was indeed true.

Grumble!

Suddenly, both hands of the White-Faced Reaper were engulfed in flames.

He threw away the sword in his hand without any hesitation and rushed straight towards me.

‘Surprisingly. I thought you would widen your distance and retreat this time too.’

Although I felt uncomfortable, I responded by swinging my sword.

On this side, there was no reason to avoid direct confrontation.

Boom!

Every time the sword and fist clashed, a heavy wave spread out.

The air became distorted and exploded, and the fire scattered in all directions set grass and trees on fire.

Should we really call him the Hundred Faced Reaper?

He was said to be able to skillfully use all types of weapons and weapons, and was also knowledgeable about recommended methods.

It was so outstanding that even most masters were speechless.

In addition, the swords floating in the air were striking unexpectedly in irregular trajectories, so it was not easy to deal with them.

‘hmm.’

The 19th herbivorous month (播月).

Kwakwakwak!

Sword energy spread out in all directions and swept the surroundings.

After taking a moment to catch my breath, I narrowed my eyes and muttered.

‘What are you planning?’

I couldn’t read the intentions of Tang Choi’s white-faced envoy.

It wasn’t particularly unusual for someone of that level of skill to be able to light a fire with internal energy.

Because a martial artist who has reached a high level can easily create samadhi and true fire.

The question that arose was whether there was any reason to cast it in actual combat, especially while facing an expert of the same level.

I did not learn the magic arts of Geukyang like the deceased Cheonakgun.

What the White-Faced Reaper was doing now was just a waste.

It’s only flashy on the outside.

There is nothing they can do about me with this lukewarm flame.

“The devil. “That old man’s failure helps in this way.”

The white-faced reaper lightly jumped back and took out unidentifiable objects from his chest.

Spheres that look like they are made of lumped clay.

They were thrown into the air all at once and flew in all directions as if they were being drawn by something.

Then something surprising happened.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!

There was a huge explosion and the fire surrounding the vacant lot became more intense.

The White-Faced Reaper nodded as if he was satisfied as he looked at the flames rising like a castle wall.

‘Explosives?’

Why did they throw an object with such power on the ground instead of using it against me?

It didn’t take long for my curiosity to be resolved.

The White-Faced Reaper slid to the side and jumped right into the curtain of fire.

‘crazy!’

Cursing words naturally flowed out.

For a split second, I saw clearly.

The self-defense energy that surrounded his entire body dispersed and disappeared.

‘Somehow he did something that wasn’t like him.’

The simplest way to remove the scent was to wait for it to disappear over time.

But what if one hour is urgent?

There was no choice but to use more drastic measures.

The most reliable method was to tear off the flesh from the incense-covered body part or burn it.

In fact, one of the disciples of the Baekmyeonsashin who was hiding in the Murim Alliance was able to shake off the Cheonan Inspector’s pursuit in this way.

‘I don’t have time to pinpoint where the scent is, so I’m thinking of just burning the skin off my whole body!’
