Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor
Chapter 495

Episode 495

‘You only get one chance. You must kill him at once.’

No matter how secretly he tried to target the enemy, the opponent was a disciple of a sound demon.

Those who learned the art of sound were like the assassin’s natural enemies.

In terms of sensitivity of the senses, they were the ones who were not only on the same level but also exceeded even the highest level of experts.

Although my level of martial arts is much higher, if you ask me if I can kill my opponent without them even noticing, I cannot give a clear answer.

The probability is about half and half.

If the first attack was in vain, there would be no next attack.

If the members of the chase team, including Geomhu, are not fools, they will know very well who they need to take care of first.

‘Slowly and privately as much as possible so as not to feel any discomfort.’

They told me to go back the more urgent it was.

At least on the surface, they had to show that they were unable to care about the enemy far away as they were trying to withstand a joint attack.

Only then could I seize a clear opportunity.

“Sigh!”

The iron gun of a warrior who was prepared to die fell on his head.

The White-Faced Shinigami did not avoid it, but instead tilted his sword and let it go.

I caught the sword that rose out of the corner of my eye with my left hand without even looking back.

Five swords connected to an invisible thread flew through the air, keeping the other chasers in check.

‘The priority target is the demon’s disciples, but they should also be eliminated if possible.’

He revealed his full power that had never been shown before.

There was a need to silence those here to prevent them from joining the main force and passing on information.

‘Because Gam-Won was seriously injured, they also had no time to spare. In particular, Geomhu is visibly anxious.’

If done well, it might be possible to completely destroy the balance.

Sigh!

Seo Ho-seon’s front lip was cut and blood splattered out.

I gave up the sword in the hand of the White-Faced Reaper and threw myself away, but I was unable to completely avoid the counterattack that followed.

After rolling around on the floor to correct his posture, he immediately threw away the beads he was holding in both hands.

The White-Faced Reaper, who avoided it by simply nodding his head, looked surprised the next moment.

Kiiing!

Tinnitus rang and my balance was momentarily lost.

The reflections hitting each other in the air created waves that damaged the eardrums.

Seo Ho-seon kicked the ground with his eyes shining.

‘now!’

A method used in the past when dealing with murderous ghosts.

At the time, I lacked the capabilities, so I implemented it in collaboration with Sawooyeon, but now that my level has risen, I was able to carry out the Chosik alone.

“Is this a vision left behind by Muyeongsintu?”

“…….”

“Interesting. Even the assassins of Ghost Valley, who had terrorized the entire midfield in the past, could not perform such a feat.”

Surprisingly, the Baek-faced Shinigami did not correct the staggering Shin-hyeong and just laid it down.

The upper body, which had fallen as if it would hit the floor at any moment, was fixed in the air, leaving a distance of just two inches.

The swords wielded by Seo Ho-seon and Geomhu narrowly grazed his hair.

Whoops!

The iron gun that Gamwon struck down was blocked by three crossed swords.

Seo Ho-seon, who retreated in preparation for a counterattack, cursed inwardly.

‘Damn it.’

I thought I had a golden opportunity, but in the end, I couldn’t inflict any damage on my opponent.

Someone who didn’t know them might have thought that they were putting together a play together in advance.

To that extent, the response presented by the Baek-faced Reaper was soft and natural.

‘Should I really say that the manager acknowledged this as an enemy?’

Even though it was an enemy, I couldn’t help but admire it.

The use of a form that is clearly different from the usual absolute master.

Various tactics stem from that.

Plus, improvisation that can deal with all kinds of variables.

There wasn’t a single thing missing.

‘How on earth should I defeat someone like this?’

I felt at a loss.

The enemy that seemed easy enough to defeat at first seemed bigger the more I faced it.

The scales were already tipping.

Starting with layoffs, injuries were occurring one by one.

If things continued like this, it wouldn’t be surprising if there were deaths at any time.

‘…First, hold on.’

He took a blood test and stopped the bleeding in his chest and took a deep breath.

There was no clear way right away.

In that case, we have no choice but to bide our time until a solution is found.

‘Let’s be cool. If you wait, you might get a chance.’

Holding the memorized book he had taken out from his chest in both hands, he carefully walked around the white-faced messenger.

* * *

“Wow!”

The eldest son of the Gwiju Samjeol fell to his knees, coughing up blood.

It eventually reached its limit as it could not withstand the accumulated internal injuries.

The second one quickly rushed over and supported him and retreated to the rear.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m done. Go back to your seat.”

“but!”

“This is not the time to slack off! “If the formation collapses, everyone dies!”

“……All right.”

The situation of the war was going against the pursuit team at every moment.

Despite being surrounded by a large number of people and being attacked, the White-Faced Reaper rarely showed signs of fatigue.

On the other hand, the rescue team members who could not withstand the fierce battle were injured one by one and fell out.

Some of the relatively low realms have already become cold corpses.

‘The Hundred-Faced Reaper is different from the cult leader or the devil. He must not be a person with the same inner strength as Daeha…’

The sword master’s eyes were distorted.

It was difficult to suppress my anxiety as I looked at my opponent, who was still in good health even though the fight was prolonged.

Gamwon’s face turned white.

It was a dark night and the person concerned had not made any outward signs so he could not be seen, but he had already reached his limit.

If I had pushed myself any further, I would have definitely died.

‘We can no longer afford to wait for the opponent to replace an opening. ‘At this point, we need to raise our game.’

Ugh!

A swordsmanship arose.

The sword did not respond to its owner’s will.

It was closer to a scream.

The energy concentrated on the surface of the sword gradually lost its shape.

“…….”

The White Face Shinigami’s eyes narrowed.

Although it was imperfect, it was clearly an intangible sword.

Condensation of the sword cavity.

An art that is exclusive to masters who have reached the level of enlightenment.

Kaang! Kagagak!

The rescue team did their best to protect Geomhu.

It is an extremely difficult technique to use in practice, but if you have allies who can buy you time, you can minimize the risk.

‘That might be a bit dangerous.’

We couldn’t look down on it just because it wasn’t implemented perfectly.

Basically, the intangible sword was a knife for killing cows, not chickens.

Even if its power was a bit low, it had no problem killing a single person.

‘You probably don’t know that if you’re not careful, you could end up on the same side. Were they sending and receiving signals in advance?’

The Baek-faced Reaper, who pushed Seo Ho-seon away with a big swing of his sword, came close to Gam-won.

Originally, he would not engage in close combat with the man who had been taught the Shaolin Temple’s vision of the Hundred Treasures Divine Fist from Buddha, but the immediate priority was the intangible sword.

There was no way Gamwon, who was seriously injured, could do anything about himself to the extent of closing the distance.

‘It’s just right.’

The crisis was also an opportunity.

The intangible sword carries enormous aftereffects.

The enormous noise and swirling air currents will also shake the beauty dragon’s senses.

If you fire a dagger at the right moment, you can surely take the opponent’s life.

“Don’t worry about me!”

Gamwon shouted with energy in his voice.

A shout that conveys the meaning of wiping out the entire area because it is okay to get caught up in it.

However, Geomhu did not respond to him but calmly observed the movements of the White Faced Reaper.

Chi-ik!

Tendons bulged on the back of the hand holding the sword.

My palms turned red and the smell of cooking meat wafted out.

The power concentrated to its limit could not replace a place to radiate, destroying the caster’s body.

“Now.”

Baek Li-seon’s voice echoed throughout the area.

The second and third members of the Guizhou Samjeol, who jumped in from the left and right, stretched out their hands at the same time.

The second was thrown away by the white-faced reaper’s counterattack, but the third’s hand safely held Gamwon’s shoulder.

The sound waves that were fired one after another slowed down the movement of the swords flying through the air, even if only for a moment.

It was as if he had been waiting for this moment.

Geomhu swung his sword with great energy.

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

A strong storm swept over the area.

Everything that existed on the earth was torn to pieces and lost its shape.

Rocks, trees, and even human shapes.

‘There won’t be a landslide, right?’

The eldest son of the Guizhou Samjeol looked down at the shaking ground and looked anxious.

Geomhu let out the breath he had been holding and let out a faint cough, knocking Shinhyeong down.

The trauma was trauma, but the internal injuries were even more serious.

The energy flowing through the sword caused the blood vessels in my right arm to become tangled and twisted.

If I didn’t focus on treatment right away, not only would future fights be hindered, but holding the sword itself might become impossible.

‘No matter how much he is a white-faced reaper, he will not be safe from being exposed to an intangible sword.’

It was worth the risk of bleeding.

I clearly saw with my own eyes the body of the Hundred-Faced Reaper being caught up in a storm of strong energy.

Peeing!

The next moment, an ominous sound pierced Geomhu’s ears.

She looked down at her trembling right hand and urgently raised her head.

A dagger emerged through the sand dust that rose to the sky.

In the direction the dagger was heading, there was Baek Li-seon, who was sighing in relief.

* * *

“……!”

Seo Ho-seon was momentarily worried.

Finally the opportunity came.

I knew it intuitively.

The White Faced Reaper was waiting for this moment.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t avoid the intangible sword.

I didn’t avoid it on purpose.

‘I aimed for the moment when Baek Li-seon’s senses were disturbed by the aftermath of the intangible sword.’

In other words, this was the perfect opportunity as his attention was completely focused on Baek Ri-seon.

If I used my hands now, I could deal an effective blow to the White-Faced Reaper.

I didn’t know if I could turn the unfavorable situation around.

But in return, Baek Li-seon would definitely die.

Sawooyeon’s voice momentarily passed through his conflicted mind.

[You don’t lose like I did.]

He gritted his teeth and threw himself.

Geomhu’s eyes widened as he saw him standing in the dagger’s path.

Sigh!

A sharp blade penetrated his body.

And at the same time.

Qarring!

Lightning struck the vacant lot.
