Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor
Chapter 90

Episode 90

“Ugh!”

A drunk man with a bright red face, wondering what he had been doing all night, appeared on the escape route of the monsters.

The monsters sprayed water on him without hesitation as he stood still in shock.

I took advantage of that opportunity and stalked the monsters.

Sigh!

A chain scythe that tears apart the body of a drunk without hesitation.

Immediately after, something amazing happened.

Saaaaa.

The drunkard’s body seemed to disperse like fog, then melted into thin air and disappeared.

The monsters flinched as if embarrassed.

I raised the corner of my mouth and unfurled the Wolyeonggeom.

The twentieth herbivorous month.

Dozens of strands of sword energy poured down toward the ground.

Care was taken to control the range of herbivory to avoid causing as much damage to the surrounding area as possible.

One monster that was unable to avoid was hit all over and fell down.

The monster quickly widened the distance and asked, twirling his chain scythe as if on guard.

“What kind of evil trick have you used?”

A rough voice, like scratching metal with fingernails.

It was the same as what I heard from Lee Kang-hak.

‘It would be nice if I could check the tattoos on my wrists and nape of my neck.’

Outstanding inaction that sets him apart from other monsters.

There was a high possibility that the monster in front of him was an assassin.

I couldn’t be sure though.

Because of the nature of the Assassination Army, there is a high possibility that he prepared a double.

If the three monsters left behind are among the assassins, the situation becomes more troublesome.

I asked as if I was throwing something to get a feel for the other person.

“You assassinated the Demon Cult’s third disciple.”

“How did you know my identity?”

“Did you hope to be safe even after stepping into the territory of the Murim Alliance?”

“It seems I underestimated Maeng’s intelligence too much.”

Isn’t that too obedient to admit it?

I clicked my tongue and adjusted my grip on the sword.

The assassin I knew was not someone who would reveal his identity so easily.

The Assassin Army that stood still and did not interfere until the very end was not the Assassin Army.

‘It’s a double role.’

I immediately kicked off the ground and ran towards the monster.

If the man in front of you was not a assassin, there was a high possibility that the real assassin would remain in the rear.

‘Quickly suppress and return.’

Cheonwoo Dojang Cheongaryeong Seo Ho-seon.

It is clear that the three had excellent martial arts skills, but they were not enough to deal with Yeoksalgun, who was an expert in fireworks.

If done incorrectly, there could be casualties.

‘We can’t afford to waste time on unnecessary exploration.’

I poured out a pile of Wolyeonggeom’s cutting herbs and put pressure on the monster.

April, the twelfth herbivorous month.

The eighth herbivorous month (暑月).

The second herbivorous month (殘月).

The illusion of a sword fluttering as if dancing obscured my vision, and a sword undulating with heat aimed at my side.

Then, a sword strike that momentarily disappeared struck the guy’s vital point.

Even though the monster was embarrassed, he reacted calmly.

“Go!”

He threw out his lion’s rear to dispel the illusion and rotated his chain scythe like a windmill to cover his entire front.

Kakakak!

All the herbivores of conversion were thrown out.

I narrowed my eyes and strongly swung the sword I held with both hands.

‘If the technique doesn’t work, press it with force.’

Seven strands of sword strands erupted from the tip of the sword and wrapped around the surface of the sword in a spiral shape.

Then, thunder energy was added on top of it.

Sensing danger, the monster manipulated a chain that swayed like a snake to protect the side.

Whoops!

The moment the blade and chain met, there was a loud noise.

A fierce wind raged throughout the area due to the clash of powerful forces.

The monster, unable to overcome the shock for a moment, fell out, spouting blood from the hole.

The broken chain scythe fell patter to the ground.

I sighed softly and turned the new model around.

I planned to go back straight away and support the group.

‘wait.’

Just before kicking off the ground and jumping.

Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, I looked back at the half-collapsed wall and made a blank expression.

The sight of the monster who had been pierced by dozens of sword blades was not visible.

‘You just ran away?’

It disappeared without a sound.

It definitely wasn’t an injury that allowed him to move.

‘Fooling my feelings?’

It didn’t take long to understand the situation.

The assassination army did not remain in the rear.

He was definitely here just a moment ago.

It seemed like he deliberately pretended to be attacked and collapsed, then took advantage of the opportunity to engage with my subordinates to kill the enemy and run away.

‘Damn it. ‘I was fooled.’

I immediately jumped onto the roof of a nearby house and looked around.

A monster wearing tattered blood-covered clothing was seen in the distance.

Without delay, I spread out my ghost beam and chased after him.

* * *

‘He’s not an average person.’

The monster assassin frowned and glanced back.

The figure of the pursuer, whose face was covered with a black mask and hood, came into view.

I don’t know what kind of light attack he had mastered, but the speed at which he chased after him was frighteningly fast.

‘After one herbivory, Yongrin-gap (龍鱗甲) was reduced to rags.’

The chain armor created by a renowned master through a complex manufacturing process was turned into a rag after a single blow.

If he had not protected his vital area with self-defense equipment, his life would have been in danger.

‘It’s probably a massacre squad dispatched by the Meng. If you’re dealing with just the author, you have a good chance of winning, but you can’t ignore the possibility that there will be reinforcements.’

The chaser was clearly a great expert, but he didn’t think he would lose.

The problem was time.

They clearly knew this person’s identity.

If the military master of Meng was not an idiot, he would not have sent only four people to capture the disciple of the Heavenly Demon of his time.

There was a need to escape enemy territory as quickly as possible.

‘If the siege is even completed while the author is holding you back, it will be the end.’

He roughly took off his blood jacket and chain mail.

The trained body was fully revealed under the sunlight shining darkly in the dawn sky.

A poisonous snake on the wrist, a scorpion on the nape of the neck, a dragon on the abdomen, and a tiger on the back.

In addition, various tattoos were engraved all over his body.

‘Tsk, I guess I’ll catch up.’

I thought I had widened the distance enough, but before I knew it, the pursuer had caught up to me a short distance away.

There was literally no monster.

Sigh!

He swung his chain scythe, impeding his pursuer’s movements.

The chain scythe, which seemed to be alive, covered the front, so the pursuer stopped in place, not daring to close the distance.

The noise of metal clashing against metal echoed throughout the area.

“Stand!”

The pursuer was persistent and persistent.

Even though we had a hard time widening the distance, we quickly narrowed it down again.

The distance between the two people repeatedly grew closer and further apart.

The Assassin Army concentrated on fleeing, taking full advantage of the chain scythe, while the pursuers tenaciously followed, taking advantage of their relatively superior light attack.

How far did it travel like that?

Suddenly, the assassin blew a long whistle.

Then, the monsters lurking nearby began to appear one after another.

All of them were wearing gray robes and masks.

A smile of repentance appeared on the lips of the assassin.

‘I wouldn’t have expected this.’

* * *

Some say they want to move after the assassin army.

The chase went smoothly.

The third executioner was clearly a high-ranking martial artist, but in terms of light engineering alone, I was above him.

Winning or losing in a fight is not simply determined by level.

Each drone has a different specialty and the gap between them can be overturned depending on the situation and environment.

‘We don’t even try to take civilians hostage. ‘It’s going according to plan.’

Damun’s previous method of welcoming drunk guests was effective.

Even when he occasionally encountered passers-by, he only glanced sideways and did not attempt to cause any harm.

My cautious personality became toxic.

As I was wary of falling into a trap, my range of movement naturally narrowed.

‘Now all I have to do is drive the assassins into the Mirojin (迷路陳) prepared in advance, and it’s perfect…?’

As I leapt off the roof, swatting away the incoming chain scythe, an unexpected sight came into my eyes.

Monsters wearing gray bloody clothes appeared everywhere.

The number is four in total.

One of the monsters who quickly followed the killer’s side took off his blood-covered clothing and fell behind.

When I realized what they were planning, I cursed in my voice.

“shit!”

The Assassin Army, carrying a chain sickle and wearing a blood-like robe, crashed into a building that was presumed to be a warehouse.

Quang!

With a loud noise, a hole opened in the wall.

Three monsters wearing the same outfit rushed into the warehouse.

Soon, four monsters left the warehouse at the same time and began running away in different directions.

They were wearing the same clothes and were armed with the same weapons, so it was impossible to tell who was the murderer.

‘Should I really call him a murderer?’

At this point, all I could say was admiration.

There are degrees of being cautious.

‘It is a famous and false story.’

I often heard about it in stories, but experiencing it firsthand gave me a different feeling.

In my past life, he and I didn’t have much contact.

The Assassin Army was only interested in survival, and I, who declared that I would give up my position as leader of the church, was someone of no interest to him.

I was so busy with work that I didn’t have time to pay attention to him.

After looking at each of the four monsters with narrowed eyes, I nodded and kicked the roof.

‘I never miss it.’

* * *

In a forest with few people.

The assassin stopped walking with an inward sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because I was running around so much that a sweet taste came to my mouth, but for a moment my head started spinning.

After taking a deep breath, he straightened his back and looked back.

The pursuer who had been following me so persistently was no longer visible.

It was effective to place subordinates in advance on the escape route just in case.

“Whoa… … .”

He crossed the forest without any trace.

If something goes wrong, we have made all preparations to safely return to school.

Once we got out of Honam, it was no problem to shake off Maeng’s pursuit.

How far did you walk like that?

As he looked around, he felt a sense of discomfort and frowned.

‘It looks like a place I just passed by…?’

Familiar scenery.

With a feeling of hopelessness, he took the layout of the surrounding landmarks into his mind and started walking again.

After about half an hour, he returned to the place in his memory, looked around with a blank expression, and muttered.

“How to do it?”

I couldn’t believe it.

How did he know that he would run away here and prepare a plan in advance?

At that time, a voice penetrated his ear.

“Are you embarrassed?”

“…!”

He quickly raised his head and the image of a man appeared in his eyes.

The man who was sitting on a tree branch looking down and giggling took off his mask and hood and said.

“I’ve had a hard time so far. “There are a lot of things to prepare.”

“How did you get here?”

“I’m glad the hard work wasn’t in vain.”

The man, Yeon-woon, had a fierce smile on his face.
