Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 39

“It’s an enemy attack!”

Unmanned people popping out from everywhere.

I lunged at the man closest to them and punched him in the stomach.

While the man collapsed on the ground with his hand on the sword and was spitting out what was inside, I grabbed the arm of the man who was running from behind and knocked him to the ground.

‘The level of each one is not that high.’

Among the warriors of the Black Island, there were not many who could be called skilled.

In the first place, if you are a talented person who has systematically learned martial arts, you will not even set foot in the black sword.

The warriors employed by Shijiazhuang were nothing more than a few strong warriors.

Looking at the average level of force, it did not even reach the level of warriors of the Manjang Dynasty.

‘The problem is the number… It’s definitely a lot. Did you say that Shakyamuni Buddha mobilized all of his personal connections to attract people?’

After defeating five men in a row, he pulled the sword from his waist and powerfully stepped forward.

Teuong!

The stone floor broke and fragments flew out.

A heavy wave encroached on the area.

The men who had been flocking around like a swarm of bees were startled and stopped in place.

“Who are you?”

He looked up and down at the man who was shouting menacingly and pointing his sword at him.

A civil servant wearing a yellow military uniform that distinguishes him from others.

At first glance, he seemed to be of high status.

‘Not Shijiazhuangju. However, he doesn’t seem to be the leader of the Stone Swordsman. However, if he is in a position of commanding warriors… is he the child of Lord Shakya?’

Soon dozens of men formed a circle around me.

A young man wearing a royal military uniform shouted with an energetic expression.

“Who are you that dare to break into Shakyamuni and commit evil acts?”

“A gangster?”

“Are you going to say no?

“Venomous snake sword.”

“…….”

“Gwiryeongdae.”

“…!”

I curled the corners of my lips under my mask.

‘Judging by your reaction, it looks like you know something.’

I could be sure from the reaction just a moment ago.

The young man in front of me was either blood related to Lord Shakyamuni or closely related to him.

“…If you surrender obediently, I will spare your life.”

“It is you who must surrender.”

“Do you think you can handle this number alone?”

“It’s not enough, it’s too much.”

“bouncer!”

Just as the Hwang man was about to give instructions to the men around him, I took a big leap and unleashed my Wolyeong sword.

Twenty-third herbivorous month (水月).

The remnants that remained along the sword’s path crumbled into countless blades.

Blades flew in all directions and struck the men.

I dug into the gap between Hwang’s youth.

“this guy!”

The embarrassed young man raised his sword diagonally.

It was an honest attack whose trajectory was clearly visible, but it could not be avoided because it was in the air.

So I decided to press it with force.

Whoops!

The young man’s sword was cut in half.

The young man collapsed, unable to withstand the stress waves that swirled around his body, and vomited out a handful of blood.

The blood had drained from his face, as if he had suffered quite a bit of internal injury.

I got down next to the young man and pointed my sword at his neck and said.

“I will give you a chance to resolve the issue through dialogue. Please bring Lord Shakyamuni before me.”

“Kill this guy! right now!”

The young man, who was screaming hysterically, was kicked hard in the abdomen.

The young man let out a short scream, foamed at the mouth, and lost consciousness.

‘It makes me tired.’

I clicked my tongue and looked around.

The men, who had been deceived by the illusion and struggling, were rushing forward with all their might.

At the same time as he dodged the sword swung at his left side, he stamped his philtrum with his swordsman and struck down the sword flying towards the right nape of his neck with his left hand and kicked him in the abdomen.

‘I can’t do it.’

I wanted to subdue him alive if possible, but the number of opponents was too large for that to happen.

I didn’t have enough time to take matters into my own hands.

‘If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have opened Water Moon.’

Just because he was threatening for no reason, he wasted his inner strength by being aggressive in the second half.

I had hoped that they would surrender after realizing the difference in capabilities, but their confidence in being outnumbered seemed to have swallowed up their fear.

Pee it!

A fierce sword strike passed through the back of the neck of a man who was approaching from behind.

Immediately after, I kicked off the ground and jumped up to avoid the attacks coming from all directions.

The men pointed their swords above their heads as if they had been waiting.

I swung my sword, spinning the new model once in the air.

Third herbivore. Full moon.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

The sword’s trajectory drew a large circle.

The men’s swords flew away with a harsh metallic sound.

Crump!

As I landed on the head of one of the men, an eerie noise rang out.

It looked like the neck bone was broken.

I swung my sword one after another at the men who were shouting in panic.

The first herbivorous current month.

The second herbivorous month (殘月).

There was no need to stage a fancy herbivorous meal.

One person per herbivore.

It was more stable and certain to handle things step by step.

By the time fifteen men had been defeated, the fighting had entered a lull.

“Whoa… … .”

I looked around with narrowed eyes and brushed the blood off my sword.

The formation the men had formed was familiar to my eyes.

‘Six joint checkups?’

The men who had been attacking at random until now were showing movements that were directed by someone.

It seems that the stone sword master joined late.

‘Is it him?’

At the back of the formation, there was a middle-aged man shouting loudly.

He was an impressive man with a stylishly grown beard and one cropped ear.

Kakakang!

A sword strike that is struck sequentially while occupying six directions.

If someone was injured, someone else immediately took their place.

The intention was to wreak havoc and wreak havoc on me.

The Yukhap checkup was a useful encirclement when multiple warriors were dealing with one expert.

Although it cannot be compared to the Plum Blossom Examination of the Hwasan School or the Hundred Eight Arhats of Shaolin, it is easy to learn and has wide versatility.

“Don’t be scared! He’s tired too! “The proof is that you’ve only been eating light herbivores since a while ago!”

Seokgeomdaeju’s shout pierced my ears.

I poured a lot of energy into the sword and laughed viciously.

‘I’ll take it down in one fell swoop.’

The 19th herbivorous month (播月).

Sword energy spread out in all directions and swept the entire area.

* * *

“Lord Jang! You must avoid it!”

“What do you mean! “Didn’t I say there was only one enemy?”

“That one person has annihilated the stone sword stand and is heading here!”

“Holy shit!”

Lord Seokpo, the head of the Shakya family, stood up from his seat, swearing.

He asked as he took his beloved sword hanging on the wall.

“You’ve definitely moved the money and ledgers, right?”

“yes!”

“let’s go!”

His face turned red with anger as he ran through the back garden following his subordinates.

I couldn’t understand why I had to go through this humiliation.

‘Snake Sword, you son of a bitch! If you want to die, die gracefully and alone!’

When he heard that the poisonous snake sword had finally done something, Shakyamuni became frustrated.

Cheonnyeo was not just a courtesan.

She was the best courtesan in Sacheon, representing Cheonhwaru, and not anywhere else.

Since he kidnapped a woman like that and ran away, how could the impact be so small?

‘Because you have skills, you accept me as an empty guest and treat me well, but you return the favor with vengeance?’

Anyway, I never thought I would be stabbed like this.

It was unclear what Cheonhwaru was thinking in sending the person to Seokgajang.

Does he think he was the one who ordered the poisonous snake sword?

Or did they decide that this was the place where the Viper Sword was hiding with the Heavenly Maid?

Or is it just a matter of venting one’s anger?

‘No, maybe it wasn’t Cheonhwaru’s doing.’

The interests and connections involved in Cheonhwaru were so vast that it was not even possible to identify a suspect.

I wanted to go to the person who instigated the attack and say this.

The heavenly maiden’s affairs have nothing to do with us.

It is said that the Viper Sword was just doing what it wanted.

If you want, I will provide you with information about the Viper Sword and cooperate in tracking him down.

‘…There’s no way he would listen.’

My mind became complicated.

I felt at a loss as I thought about what to do next.

Teuong!

By the time we were almost halfway through the sponsorship.

There was a figure coming down to the front with a heavy noise.

Shakyamuni Zhou immediately realized that the opponent was the attacker who had been reported by his subordinate.

‘When did we end up here?’

Because he was wearing a mask, he couldn’t recognize his identity, but Shijiazhuang could instinctively feel it.

That the man in front of him was a monster he couldn’t handle.

The man who was looking at the shocked Shakyamuni Buddha put down the yellow robed young man in his left hand and asked as if throwing it.

“Are you going to attack me?”

Shijiazhuang immediately took off the sword from his waist and threw it on the floor.

He snatched the sword from the hand of the subordinate who was looking at him with a stupid expression and threw it on the floor.

He said, raising his hands above his head to show that he had no hostility towards him.

“If you have any questions, please ask. “I will answer everything.”

* * *

I thought he would resist until the end, but unlike his subordinates, Shakyamuni was quick to adapt to the situation.

As soon as I realized that I couldn’t win and I couldn’t run away, I immediately surrendered.

I suppressed the demonic blood of the two people and made them kneel in front of me.

“Are you Lord Shijiazhuang?”

“yes. “It’s called Seokpo-gun.”

“They say the poisonous snake sword stayed here as a guest.”

“This heavenly girl kidnapping incident has nothing to do with Shakyamuni! It’s true!”

“That is probably a good thing. “The poisonous snake sword has already been captured, and the celestial maiden has been safely recovered.”

“…!”

“I found this item while searching through Viper Sword’s belongings.”

I took out the wooden tablet from my pocket and held it in front of Shakyamuni Buddha.

Shijiazhuangju’s face hardened like a stone.

“That’s it!”

“When I questioned him about the poisonous snake sword, he said it was something he received from Lord Shakyamuni.”

Shakyamuni chief Buddha gritted his teeth with a ‘clack sound’.

He couldn’t help but be angry.

Because the poisonous snake sword’s sudden action caused me to be struck by lightning.

“What was your relationship with the demon of Eumsal?”

“…….”

“You’d better not think about lying. “I have already heard some of the story from the Viper Sword.”

Shakyamuni Buddha lowered his head in resignation and sighed.

“I made a deal with him.”

“What exactly was the deal?”

“He wanted to increase the money he had. To put it simply, I was looking for an investment.”

“So you’re saying you came to see Shijiazhuang?”

“That’s right. “They said they would provide funding and asked if I wanted to expand my business.”

It was so absurd that I laughed.

I had some expectations.

A bowl that is leaking on the inside is also leaking on the outside.

It was strange that a man who had committed all kinds of corruption on campus could behave calmly just because he was sent out on a mission.

‘The dog stops pooping.’

He was an old man whose courage was second to none in the world.

I never would have guessed that he was making money by embezzling the funds he received from the cult leader to secure war supplies.
