Chapter 142 : Their Respective Circumstances, Dragon Emperor's Story (3)
Just before the hidden weapon was shot.
The Divine Monk had noticed.
To be more precise, he had not taken someone's warning lightly this time.
-Be careful of Divine Sword Uiji-ryong and Divine Star Yong Ma-pae.
A warning sent by the Sword Emperor's child.
He had almost died as a price for ignoring it before.
When the Divine Sword had proposed a martial arts contest to him, the Divine Monk had felt something strange and had prepared for the poison he had been hit with before.
The Divine Monk swallowed the antidote pill made by the Medicine Saint and went up to the martial arts stage.
Thud, thud!
The hidden weapons were embedded in his body. Even though he had eaten the Medicine Saint's antidote pill, the poison spread quickly.
However, as the effect of the antidote pill spread through his body, it was quickly suppressing the poison.
If he had not prepared the antidote pill in advance, he would have been in real danger.
Such a Divine Monk, contrary to the situation that had happened to his body, had surprised eyes at the sight that was happening now.
He had known that there would be a hidden martial prowess since he had proposed a martial arts contest to him.
Because the position of the leader of the New Rising Five Families was by no means a position that could be obtained just by aging.
"Amitabha. I never thought it would be this much."
Although he didn't know the exact circumstances, an internal conflict had arisen among them.
And they had no intention of making peace with them in the first place.
The martial prowess of the Divine Sword that was being shown now.
'His first purpose must have been to kill me in this place.'
The next was obvious without even looking. Starting with that, he would have tried to kill everyone in this place.
Because that was the simplest way to eat the Righteous Faction.
In the end, today's meeting had all flowed according to their intentions. If it weren't for the internal conflict that had just happened.
This could only be called a stroke of luck.
Above all, if it weren't for the warning of the Sword Emperor's child, he would not be in this place by now.
The Sword Empress approached the Divine Monk's side.
She said in a calm but tense voice.
"We must leave this place as soon as possible. A large-scale energy is moving quickly this way. It seems today is a trap."
"A large-scale energy, you say?"
Right now, his internal energy operation was not normal as he was blocking the infiltration of the poison.
So it was difficult to grasp the external situation in detail.
"Yes. We must hurry."
"Alright."
*
Grind.
Blue Heaven Master Uiji-ryong clenched his teeth as he watched the Divine Monk and the Righteous Faction group moving away.
He shot a firecracker from his bosom into the sky.
Pew! Bang!
At that moment, a huge energy was felt from one side.
Jeokcheonju, who had been waiting in advance, had appeared leading his troops.
Jeokcheonju and his elites were riding horses and running across the plain. What they were chasing was the fleeing Righteous Faction group.
The original plan had gone awry, but the biggest obstacle, the Divine Monk, had been neutralized by the poison.
Jeokcheonju would take care of the rest of the small fry.
It was an alliance with Jeokcheonju, thinking of the variables that might arise just in case.
Although it was to prepare for the 'what if', in the end, it was the right decision.
Although he had not expected that the variable would be something like this.
Blue Heaven Master Uiji-ryong calmed his excitement, and then slowly came down from the martial arts stage and said in a calm tone to Divine Star Yong Ma-pae.
To be precise, to the law enforcement officer sent from the Gray Heaven, Dragon Emperor Yong Ma-pae.
"You'll have to persuade me very well from now on."
It was a pity that the Divine Brain had died. But it was just the death of a law enforcement officer. There were enough people to replace the Divine Brain.
However, one thing was particularly regrettable.
'He was a smart guy, at least.'
He would do things without being told.
Tsk.
Uiji-ryong continued.
"If there is no valid reason, you will die in this place today."
Crack!
A sharp wind grazed Yong Ma-pae's face. His skin split with a crack, and blood scattered in the wind.
Yong Ma-pae roughly rubbed his split skin and answered.
"If you're going to stay still, I'll stop here."
"Hah! How dare you give me, the master of the Blue Heaven, an order? After killing just a law enforcement officer of Blue Heaven!"
"Hmm? I am politely asking you now. If it were an order, I wouldn't be talking with my head held high like this."
"Who, you mean? Me, or you?"
"Of course, you."
"Hehehe. I thought you were a boring guy because you were usually quiet, but you're a really interesting bastard. How did you hold it in all this time?"
"So, my proposal?"
"Alright. I'll grant it. But I should also get something in return. Yes, if you give me one of your arms, I'll forget everything that happened today."
"It's not a difficult request."
"What?"
At the same time as the answer, Yong Ma-pae cut his other arm with the side of his own hand.
Thud.
Yong Ma-pae's arm falling to the ground.
"Hehehe!"
Watching that, Uiji-ryong laughed lowly and let out an exclamation of admiration.
"You're a madman."
"Then, I'll take it that you've accepted my proposal."
The moment Yong Ma-pae turned around like that.
Hmph!
A gust of wind blew towards Yong Ma-pae. Yong Ma-pae drew his sword with his remaining arm and swung it behind him as it was.
Boom!
"What on earth is this?"
Uiji-ryong opened his mouth with a grin.
"Come to think of it, one arm won't be enough. Leave the other arm too. Then I'll really forgive you this time."
Yong Ma-pae kicked up and distanced himself from Uiji-ryong. He aimed his sword at Uiji-ryong in a low voice and raised his killing intent.
"Uiji-ryong. You refuse the cup of authority and insist on the cup of punishment."
"Uiji-ryong is informal, you bastard!"
Uiji-ryong shouted towards the surroundings.
"Everyone, kill the traitor Yong Ma-pae immediately!"
Uiji-ryong was planning to drain Yong Ma-pae's stamina, play with him thoroughly, and then vent his anger.
But just then.
No one was moving. On the contrary, the other three of the New Rising Five Families were sticking to Yong Ma-pae's side.
Uiji-ryong, who had grasped the situation in an instant, raised all his momentum.
He looked at his law enforcement officer, who was already dead. And he opened his mouth.
"Blue Heaven. Follow me."
Behind him, the elites of Blue Heaven were located.
On the other side, the elites of Yong Ma-pae and the three of the New Rising Five Families were located.
"Yong Ma-pae! You will surely die today."
Uiji-ryong, with wind wrapped around his arms and legs, rushed towards Yong Ma-pae.
Yong Ma-pae quietly raised his only arm.
*
The Righteous Faction troops, who were leaving the place, suddenly stopped fleeing when the distance between them and the ones wearing red pig masks who were chasing them narrowed.
The Sword Empress said.
"We'll just be beaten like this. We have to fight."
The people here were all the elites of the Righteous Faction.
Even if the Sword Empress didn't say it, they knew how the situation was going.
The elites of the Righteous Faction quickly formed camps by each sect.
And they put the Sword Empress, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden, the Sword King, and the Wudang Divine Sword at the front.
The Sword Empress said to the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.
"The martial prowess of the one running at the front seems unusual. Let's do a joint attack."
Even in Eun Ga-young's view, that person did not look ordinary.
"Yes."
In a situation where the Divine Monk was unable to fight, if that person ran wild, she could not predict what the future situation would be.
Just then, the Wudang Divine Sword and the Sword King came right behind and said.
"We will block the person next to him."
The person wearing the blue pig mask was also by no means at a level to be taken lightly.
They nodded at each other and ran forward.
And so, the unexpected fight between Jeokcheon and the Righteous Faction elites, Grey Heaven and the New Rising Three Families, and Blue Heaven began.
*
Curses were constantly coming out of Blue Heaven Master's mouth.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"
The martial prowess of Yongje, the law enforcement officer of Grey Heaven, was stronger than he had thought. If he hadn't done the foolish act of cutting off his own arm, he thought that he wouldn't even be alive by now.
Uiji-ryong was fleeing, having survived at the last moment by using his subordinates' lives as a shield.
The place he was heading to now was the place where the successive Blue Heaven Lord were sleeping.
"If I just get there, I will surely repay today's humiliation! Yongje!"
In the place he was heading to now, the insights left by the Blue Heaven Lord at the end and the treasures corresponding to them were sleeping.
*
Numerous corpses were scattered around Yongje.
Most of them were people of Blue Heaven.
He breathed heavily and looked up at the sky. Unlike the sky that looked red because of the burst capillaries, the wind blowing on the outside and the clear sky were as clear as could be.
-It's almost time. Fulfill your role until then.
"It's almost time."
Yongje's master was the master of the Gray Heaven. Yongje did his best with his words.
One day he became his sword, one day he became his mouth, and one day he became his will.
Spending these days, he had once thought that he could replace him.
It was all a story of the past.
His own limits were clear, and he could never be like him.
So what he chose was to be a disposable piece.
Nevertheless, Yongje did not think that he was shabby.
Because he was glad that he could be used even as a disposable piece.
On the other hand, he also had a heart that didn't want to believe until he saw it himself.
That no one could replace him.
Cough.
When he coughed, blood came out.
Yongje wiped it with his sleeve and then walked with a limp. The Divine Fist called out to such a Yongje.
"Divine Star! Where are you going?"
Yongje ignored his words.
Because he would not meet them anymore.
Because they would be swept away in the blink of an eye by the huge wave that would soon come.
* * *
The Righteous Faction neither won nor lost in today's fight. But if you consider today's events in a broader sense, it was correct to say that they had lost.
Because in the end, the meeting had ended in failure.
The Divine Monk, after detoxifying all the poison, returned to normal.
The Sword Empress and the Rakshasa Divine Maiden had lost their words since the fight with the red pig mask.
The two of them had failed to defeat the red pig mask even with a joint attack.
The Righteous Faction did not suffer much damage. The people who had appeared later, for some reason, did not seem to be trying to fight from the perspective of those who had fought them, but rather seemed to have the purpose of just pushing them back.
In fact, when they were more than a certain distance away, they did not chase, and there were almost no casualties.
And so, they gathered again in the abbot's room of Shaolin Temple.
The leaders were discussing what to do in the future rather than the wounds from the fight just now.
Since they had confirmed with their own two eyes that a civil war had broken out in the New Rising Five Families, what they had to do was already decided.
"We must strike first."
"Now is the chance."
"Now is the best time, when the Yong Family and the Uiji Family have almost collapsed."
The forces of the old Righteous Faction were almost intact.
Just then, the leader of the Huashan Sect opened his mouth.
"What if the group wearing the red pig masks attacks again? They have retreated obediently for now, but honestly, if we had fought properly, our side's damage would not have been small."
At those words, everyone closed their mouths for a moment.
Because the people here knew their strength best.
It was too dangerous an act to show one's back with a tiger behind.
Just then.
The Yoo Jae-ha party that had gone to Tianzhu arrived.
"We're here!"
Yoo Jae-ha, who had come in brightly, tilted his head at the unexpectedly low atmosphere.
—
Don't tell me!
The door of the abbot's room opens wide.
The Divine Monk's urgent expression is visible.
The Divine Monk was alive. I let out a sigh of relief. The leaders of the Righteous Faction were also visible next to him. Everyone had survived safely.
But why are they so downcast?
At the same time as having the question, the Divine Monk said.
"Sword Emperor!"
"Yes?"
"My master?"
"I met him."
"Your body?"
"I fixed it!"
"That's a relief! Then, come quickly!"
"What? I just arrived from Tianzhu."
"Ah! Just come quickly!"
