Chapter 160. Flower (6)
“Uahahaha!”
Hwangbo Ak lets out a powerful roar and rushes in.
Blood was smeared on the corners of his mouth.
A sound that was now tiresome is heard.
The unpleasant metallic sound of the cursed objects hanging on the staff clashing.
Soon, a blood-red energy swirls towards Hwangbo Ak.
Hwangbo Ak thrusts an iron fist clad in fist Qi.
Kwang!
With an explosion, he is sent flying backward.
Blood spurts from the mouth of Hwangbo Ak as he flies through the air.
Hwangbo Ak, who rolled on the ground, grins as he wipes his mouth.
“Hehehehe. I never felt this even when I was dueling with the Fortress Leader. You’re a brutally strong one!”
Hwangbo Ak, who shouted while spitting blood, runs again.
If left like this, it seemed Hwangbo Ak would die with a smiling face.
Pat!
Since I was also not in a position to just watch leisurely, I matched Hwangbo Ak’s movements and unfolded my movement arts towards the shaman.
While parrying the swirling shamanistic spell with Hwangbo Ak, the Tang Clan guy was secretly throwing needles from the rear.
Each time, a blood-red curtain would form around the shaman or a blood wind would blow, pushing away the hidden weapons.
Thanks to the Tang Clan guy drawing his attention with his hidden weapons, I managed to close the distance a few times.
“Haaat!!”
I swung the Master’s Blade at the shaman, wrapped in the sword silk of One Sun, Ten Thousand Lights.
Kwang!!
An explosion erupted, but the Master’s Blade was blocked right in front of the shaman.
A damn thick Qi wall was blocking the Master’s Blade.
As expected.
Until I smashed something in the Emerald Crossing River, it seemed it would not be easy to kill this guy.
A blood wind that flew in by surprise while I was having a power struggle with the Qi wall.
Pushed back by that strong wind, the distance was opened up again.
While I was correcting my posture with the Absorption Art, I heard the Tang Clan guy’s small curse from behind.
“Damn it.”
I thought he was cursing because of the shaman’s monstrous shamanistic spell.
But it wasn't.
After moving to aim for the shaman’s opening a few more times, I belatedly realized the reason.
The Tang Clan guy was no longer throwing hidden weapons.
It seemed he had used up all the hidden weapons he had.
Since the Tang Clan guy’s support was gone, it became even more difficult to break through to the shaman.
A presence was felt from behind.
I quickly shouted.
“Just stay in the rear!”
The Tang Clan guy, who was approaching with his body instead of hidden weapons, flinched.
“We’ll live if you live, won’t we?”
“We’ll all die at this rate. Do you think I’m some kind of divine physician? I don’t have the talent to revive the dead.”
“Don’t worry. Nam Geon and Senior Sister Baek Hyang will somehow manage.”
Before the Tang Clan guy could reply to my shout, Hwangbo Ak shouted.
“Kuhahaha! The doctor brother can just treat me later!”
A shamanistic spell flies towards Hwangbo Ak, who shouted that.
Once again, Hwangbo Ak’s iron fist and the shamanistic spell clash, and an ominous metallic sound erupts.
Crack!
The gauntlet on Hwangbo Ak’s hand exploded.
Metal fragments scatter with blood.
Hwangbo Ak’s body is sent flying far away.
Hwangbo Ak, who is scattered on the ground, lets out a faint laugh.
He tried to stand up by pressing the ground with his blood-soaked hands, but it was not easy.
Right after barely raising his upper body.
“Cough.”
He coughed up blood roughly and then collapsed on the ground.
The Tang Clan guy quickly ran towards Hwangbo Ak.
“Brother Hwangbo!”
It seemed I had to tie up that shaman by myself from now on.
It was a bleak situation.
It was amazing that I had lasted this long.
It was thanks to borrowing the power of the Master’s Blade and seeing his energy in advance with my second eye that I had managed to hold on.
But I couldn't just die because the situation was bleak.
I moved my aching limbs and flew my body towards the shaman again.
At that very moment, a change came into view.
An arc was drawn on my lips without me realizing it.
The energy wrapped around the shaman’s staff rapidly decreases.
The thick flow of energy that was connected to the Emerald Crossing River scattered.
It must have meant that Nam Geon and Baek Hyang had succeeded.
Indeed, as the energy flowing in the staff weakened, his response also changed.
The guy who had been firing shamanistic spells randomly just by shaking his staff until now suddenly began to form a seal with his left hand.
Accordingly, the energy condensed inside him resonates with the energy of nature.
“As swiftly as the statutes and ordinances command!”
Finally, when he quickly cast the shamanistic spell, the ground was overturned, and a pile of rocks shot up.
Since I had seen the energy resonating, it was not that difficult to dodge.
When I unfolded my movement arts and narrowly dodged it, I saw him quickly forming a seal again.
I swung the Master’s Blade randomly in the air.
Several strands of sword Qi cut through the air and advanced towards the shaman.
He flew his body and rolled on the ground. And as he stood up, he quickly aimed his staff at me.
The energy in the staff condensed, and a blood-red arrow was formed and flew in one after another.
I dodged a few by stepping with my footwork, and I blocked a few by swinging the Master’s Blade.
Clang!
Perhaps because of the internal injuries accumulated while being harassed by that shaman.
The arm holding the Master’s Blade trembled. Blood surged up from my stomach.
It wasn't a completely bad feeling.
The Blood Arrows did not last long.
The energy flowing in the staff had already run out.
Although it was slowly being refilled through the one remaining small stream of flow, its speed was slow.
Instead, he was diligently waving his left hand and drawing a seal again.
To interfere with this, I swung my trembling arm in the air again.
Swiiiiiish.
To dodge the flying sword Qi, he quickly flew his body.
Perhaps because his skill in casting such spells was not going anywhere, his left hand continued to draw a seal even in that situation.
Also, he was continuously muttering in a small, hard-to-understand voice as if casting some shamanistic spell.
I moved my legs to chase him.
My legs, which had also reached their limit, screamed.
Ignoring the cries of my legs that wanted to rest, I ran.
***
Jin Yuseong, who was rushing in with a face like a fierce demon.
The Moon Lord, whose face was covered with a black cloth, gritted his teeth.
He couldn't believe this situation.
‘You foolish bastard! To make such a mess by not being able to block even two brats!’
Both the Vajra Giant Child and the girl named Baek Hyang, who had headed towards the Emerald Crossing River, were several levels below the Vice-Moon Lord.
He should have killed them long ago, but instead, the Emerald Crossing River had been destroyed.
He was on the verge of losing his composure at the incomprehensible situation, but he couldn't just be angry.
“Now it’s your turn! You will pay the price for slaughtering the residents!!”
Because the Ghost Sword Young Master was rushing at him with fire in his eyes.
It was not a figurative expression.
As if he had learned some shamanistic spell, a reddish energy was shimmering in the Ghost Sword Young Master’s eyes.
His eyes were eerie in many ways.
The Moon Lord chanted a spell.
The shamanistic spell prepared according to the seal he had diligently formed with his left hand was realized according to his shout.
The energy that extended from his fingertips and the energy of nature resonated, and a Fire Demon flared up as if to surround the Ghost Sword Young Master.
But the Ghost Sword Young Master was not engulfed in the circular formation of flames.
Just before the Fire Demon flared up, the Ghost Sword Young Master unfolded Controlling Qi to Soar and flew into the air to dodge it.
The Moon Lord frowned and looked at the Ghost Sword Young Master floating in the air.
To be precise, at the reddish energy shimmering in Jin Yuseong’s eyes.
That eye was grating.
It wasn't just because of the Ghost Fire visible to the eye.
Every time he cast some shamanistic spell, the guy would accurately follow the flow of Qi with those eyes.
As if the flow of Qi was visible to those eyes.
‘Perhaps he is seeing through my shamanistic spells with that shamanistic spell.’
The Moon Lord was thinking that those eyes might be a kind of shamanistic spell.
But his reasoning went no further.
‘I’ll have to gouge out those eyes and study them or capture and torture him. For now, after killing or subduing him.’
Thinking that, the Moon Lord quickly put his left hand into his sleeve.
‘No matter how much he rampages, he’s still in the palm of my hand.’
After grabbing the talismans he had hidden, he threw them at Jin Yuseong, who was floating in the air, and chanted an incantation.
“Thunder Spirit God, move the thunder and aid the light, as swiftly as the statutes and ordinances command!!”
The talismans that the Moon Lord had thrown burned up, and a clap of thunder rang out.
At the same time, the electric shock formed from the bunch of burned-up talismans flew towards the Ghost Sword Young Master floating in the air.
As if he had expected it, the Ghost Sword Young Master swung the Master’s Blade at that electric shock.
The Master’s Blade, wrapped in sword silk, and the lightning clashed, and an explosion erupted.
Jin Yuseong, who was thrown back in the air, did a somersault and landed on the ground, then rushed at the Moon Lord again.
‘Let’s see how long you can keep rampaging, you monkey-like bastard.’
The Moon Lord continued to draw a seal with his left hand and cast shamanistic spells.
He couldn't cast shamanistic spells randomly like when he was drawing the energy of the Spring of Resentful Blood.
Because of that, the distance with the Ghost Sword Young Master was gradually closing.
But he was not particularly worried.
The Ghost Sword Young Master’s state was not good.
Furthermore, his movements were quite slow compared to the beginning.
If it weren't for his strange eyes, he would have killed him long ago.
After maintaining his composure and forming seals, and using talismans and cursed objects several times.
“I’ll send you to King Yama!!”
The Ghost Sword Young Master, who had finally reached right in front of him, spits blood and shouts.
Blood is smeared all over his body, and a acrid smell of burning is mixed in.
Jin Yuseong, with a dying appearance, swings the Master’s Blade.
The Master’s Blade, wrapped in sword silk, flies at the Moon Lord.
The Moon Lord holds out his staff, on which blood energy is gathered.
The blood energy that has not accumulated much congeals, and a blood-red curtain is formed.
Kwang!!
An explosion erupts, and the blood-red curtain shakes.
But the Moon Lord’s expression was calm.
He drew up energy as he found it.
That scene was also reflected in Jin Yuseong’s eyes.
The scene of the energy accumulated in the shaman’s body flowing to the staff through his right hand, and the energy that passed to the staff flowing into the blood-red curtain.
The thickness of the blood-red curtain thickens. By now, the shaking had disappeared, and the curtain was regaining its stability.
As if not to be outdone, Jin Yuseong also drew up the remaining energy in his Dantian as he found it.
There was no other choice.
His entire body had already reached its limit. As he drew up energy, blood also surged up.
No matter what, he had to end it with this one blow.
Blood continued to flow from the corners of Jin Yuseong’s mouth.
Jin Yuseong’s body, which was striking the blood-red curtain, trembled relentlessly.
Since he was watching it from right in front of him, the Moon Lord could also grasp Jin Yuseong’s condition.
‘As expected.’
The Ghost Sword Young Master had reached his limit.
The corners of the Moon Lord’s mouth, whose face was covered with a black cloth, rise in a smirk.
At the same time, the corners of Jin Yuseong’s mouth also rise.
A strange sight was reflected in Jin Yuseong’s eyes.
Beyond the shaman who was pouring energy into his staff as he found it.
The sight of something whitish approaching stealthily.
A single sword flew in by surprise from behind the Moon Lord, where there was nothing.
The Moon Lord, who was forming a blood-red curtain, quickly twisted his upper body.
But that response was a little late.
Since his entire attention had been on the Ghost Sword Young Master, he had detected the presence approaching from behind too late.
The sword that was flying, aiming for his heart, digs into the Moon Lord’s side.
“Kueeeuk.”
A choked groan escapes.
The Moon Lord’s eyes, as he turned his head, saw a single sword that had pierced his side.
Along with the figure of the girl who had swung that sword.
“How dare an experimental subject!!”
Right after letting out an angry roar at Choyeon, the Moon Lord felt an inexplicable chill.
Soon, an ominous sound as if something was breaking pierced his ears.
Crack!!
The moment the Moon Lord’s concentration was broken, it was the sound of the Master’s Blade shattering the blood-red curtain.
The Master’s Blade did not seem to be able to end it with just breaking the shamanistic spell and continued to advance.
Slice!
A cutting sound rang out first, and a moment later, a dull sound of something falling to the ground rang out.
The staff that the Moon Lord was holding. And the right arm that was holding the staff was cut off entirely and fell to the ground.
At the terrible pain that shot up from his shoulder, the Moon Lord could not hold back and let out a scream.
“Kuaaaaaaaaak!!”
Aiming for that moment, Choyeon’s second blow flew towards the Moon Lord’s heart.
