Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 496

Episode 496

: Pakazik! Quick!

White currents splashed in all directions.

The dagger that penetrated Seo Ho-seon’s solar plexus was caught by something invisible and fixed in the air.

“......Huh.”

Seo Ho-seon took a step back and hit his butt on the ground.

When I put my hand to my chest, I saw a lot of blood flowing from the affected area.

If it had been stuck just one inch deeper, it would have been life-threatening.

It was only when I realized that my life had been saved that I was able to realize it.

Just a little while ago, I was standing at the crossroads between life and death.

“...!”

The White Face Shinigami’s eyes widened.

Seo Ho-seon sacrifices himself to save Mi-ryong (美龍).

And then a young man appeared to protect him.

It wasn’t that difficult to find out the identity of the intruder.

Yongwang (Dragon King) Yeonsun.

The commander-in-chief of the allied forces that had entered Shanxi appeared in the open space.

‘It’s dangerous.’

They say that we have to eliminate Mi-ryong to stop the chase.

They say that the pursuit party must be annihilated for the sake of extinction.

Those things no longer mattered.

Shouldn’t we save our lives right away?

If Geomhu and other members of the chase team joined forces with the Dragon King to push him, there was absolutely no answer for him.

‘We have to get out of here first.’

The white-faced envoy, who made a quick decision, unfolded his ghostly sword and left the position.

The indignant Geomhu got up and tried to chase him.

“Don’t overdo it.”

Yeonsun, who stretched out his hand to stop her, shook his head and said.

The rescuers stamped their feet as they saw the back of the White-Faced Reaper quickly turning into a dot and moving away.

“We must not let him escape!”

“I do the chasing.”

“.......”

“It looks like you have an internal injury. Please take care of yourself first.”

“This is not the time to slack off!”

“What do you mean? If this continues, will we miss out on the White Face Reaper? Or is there someone in the rescue team who is in critical condition?”

Geomhu, startled, looked to the side.

The image of Gamwon sitting against a nearby tree, supported by the third child of Guizhou Samjeol, came into view.

His face was pale and his face had lost all color, and his breathing was irregular, as if it would stop at any moment.

If I didn’t get treatment right away, I might really die.

‘this!’

Gamwon’s body was already at its limit.

It was clear that the blood flow in his body must have been ruined as he mustered up his last strength to face the White Faced Reaper.

‘There is no time. I have to take him to the doctor right away...’

My mind went blank.

There was no way he could be saved unless he was a very good congressman.

It would have been nice to have a divine doctor, but he was currently taking care of King Kwon, who had become a super-dead sword due to Emperor Surama.

It was impossible to take Gamwon to Shandong (山東), where Hwangbo Sega was located.

“Please step aside for a moment.”

While Geomhu was lost, Yeonsun approached Gamwon and checked his pulse.

Gamwon, who had difficulty turning his head, spoke under his breath.

“I’m fine, so hurry up and see the White-faced Reaper....”

“No matter how you look at it, it’s not okay, so stop saying anything unconvincing.”

“Cheonan Inspector General. “You are the commander leading the Allied Forces.”

“What does that mean?”

“You have to calmly consider priorities. “I am already late.”

“It’s not too late. “Don’t jump to your own conclusions and give up.”

Yeonsun stretched out his index finger and tapped various parts of Gamwon’s body.

That was my mindset heading into the final battle.

[Should I call this arrogance?]

[Please call it greed.]

[Yes, the bigger the greed, the better.]

[......Is it okay for someone who wrote on the Buddhist gate to say something like that? ]

I was feeling grateful deep inside.

Thanks to Buddha’s question, I was able to clearly realize my wish.

With what determination should I go into battle?

‘Anyway, the magic attack of a wild sleeper doesn’t work against the religious leader.’

An external method that allows one to easily demonstrate great power, even if only temporarily.

If you possessed the elixir, you had no choice but to suffer from temptation.

It might have been better to just use it like this.

I looked away from Geomhu, who was holding the wooden box, and looked back at Seo Ho-seon and said.

“Seo Musa.”

“yes.”

“Please stand guard while Gamwon recovers.”

“All right.”

“one more. Never again give up your life easily. “I cannot allow anyone to die carelessly without my permission.”

“...I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Have you buried Chu Jonghyang?”

“of course.”

“Then I’ll just go after the Hundred-Faced Reaper.”

As I walked away, I looked down at the debris that had fallen on the floor.

There were traces of broken swords carried by the White-Faced Reaper.

Just before being swept away by the intangible sword.

The Baek-faced Shinigami had five swords connected by fictitious threads surrounding the front like a shield.

A barrier of strength, stronger and stronger than the sword shield, protected his body.

It was thanks to him that he was able to withstand the storm of energy that swept the entire area.

‘He also overdid it. There’s no way he’s in good shape.’

Although there was a bit of a delay, it wouldn’t be that difficult to catch up with the White-Faced Reaper.

He too was human.

It was clear that they must have been very tired after such a fierce battle.

Since we probably won’t have the power to break through Heaven’s Land right now, it’s safe to say that there’s still time left.

* * *

‘I don’t understand.’

The middle of a mountain where no one can reach.

The white-faced Shinigami stopped in place and took a breath, looking back with narrowed eyes.

According to speculation, there would have been a considerable distance between the main force led by the Dragon King and the pursuit force.

But how was he able to appear in time and save his subordinate in danger?

Did you intuitively sense that something was wrong?

It was a story that made no sense.

Unlike himself, he was in command of the Allied Forces.

There was no way he could have made the decision to abandon his allies and move alone based on intuition alone.

‘Could it be a sound ghost?’

After thinking about it carefully, I felt like I knew what happened.

Like Mi-ryong, it would not have been surprising if a demonic spirit who had mastered the art of Cheonrijicheong (千里地聽術) could sense his disciple’s danger faster than anyone else.

Perhaps the sound technique that Miryong used to deal with him was a kind of signal.

Unless something goes wrong, there is no reason for him to use the Yin Ball in succession.

‘It has become difficult.’

Their location was revealed, and in the end, they were unable to eliminate Mi-ryong as well.

In all likelihood, Cheonnajiman (天羅地網) will be spread throughout the entire area.

I felt at a loss as to how to get out.

‘I have overcome many crises. I’m sure we’ll find a way this time too. First, let’s replenish the energy we’ve exhausted...’

While he was organizing his thoughts, his shoulders trembled in surprise.

He looked up at the sky and fell asleep.

Something emitting a terrifying energy was approaching this direction at high speed.

‘already?’
