Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Chapter 490

Episode 490:

I had already achieved imperishability to poisons and poisons a long time ago.

If it caused something wrong with my body, it usually meant that it wasn’t a severe poison.

‘In what gap?’

It couldn’t have been poison poisoning.

It made no sense that even with my senses, which had reached absolute heights, I could not feel the hint of poison.

Unless you fall victim to the skills of a poisonous ghost.

It is clear that the Hundred-Faced Death God is the greatest murderous spirit in the central plains, but he has not mastered poisonous techniques.

‘Is it when we were first ambushed?’

I wondered if the sword had been poisoned in advance.

If the small wound on the earlobe was the cause of the poisoning, it was a big deal.

‘Damn it.’

Cursing words naturally flowed out.

I wasn’t the type to faint from poison or something like that.

If I took the time to drive out the poisonous energy, I would be able to recover my body without difficulty.

The Vampire Demon Emperor also endured for a long time while being addicted to the Seven Soul Poison, the extreme poison of the Tang Family’s secrets.

There was nothing to say about it, especially since I had trained in the White Lightning Demonic Art.

‘It’s not that the body doesn’t move. You can also use internal energy.’

The problem was that the enemy they had to deal with was not anyone else but the White-Faced Reaper.

I had to go to great lengths to subdue him.

This was not an opponent to be trifled with just because the situation was advantageous.

‘There is no guarantee that we can defeat it in a short decisive battle.’

If we ignore the poison spreading, we may be able to eliminate one of the Demonic Cult’s greatest forces.

But what after that?

If I, the general commander of the Allied Forces, become a dead body like King Kwon and leave the battlefield, who will be responsible for what happens next?

‘Hwang Bo-gak and I have different positions. As well as the command issue, if the Demon Cultist showed up on the battlefield while I was sick...’

It was clear that it was an opportunity that would never come again.

But I couldn’t help but think of the worst.

‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a guarantee of catching the White Faced Reaper?’

The White-Faced Reaper I knew was not so lax that he did not have even a single safety device in case something went wrong.

We should not be swayed by emotions and make wrong decisions.

In the Allied Forces, there were two other absolute experts besides me.

‘The Buddha and the evil spirits will soon arrive. I’ll leave the rest to them and I’ll have to get the contract canceled from Tang Seo-yeon.’

I was very annoyed.

I knew what to do in my head, but I couldn’t shake the feeling.

I can’t believe I should be intimidated by such trivial tactics.

In front of everyone, he shouted loudly, saying, ‘I will defeat the Demon Cult Lord,’ but in reality, he was unable to do anything with the eight great demon armies in front of him.

My pride was hurt.

I had the urge to just attack it without thinking about what happened later.

Then, a thought suddenly crossed my mind.

‘Since when did I care about things like face?’

I blinked with a blank expression and soon burst into laughter.

They say it is Geunmukjaheuk (近墨者黑).

It seemed like I had become a completely stuck person without even realizing it.

[Apologize to Jin-i.]

[Yes?]

[I mean, apologize to Jin-i here and now.]

[I understand. sorry. Hwangbo Sohyeop.]

[If you can’t apologize... what?]

[Now that I think about it, I think my behavior was excessive at the time.]

Yeon-woon, who obediently complied with Man Rik-kwon’s unreasonable apology demands in the past. Where on earth did he go?

They say that people should not lose their original intention.

There was nothing wrong with what the old saints said.

Quang!

“Ugh.”

Woo Ga-jin, who was pushed away leaving long marks on the ground, let out a faint groan.

A trickle of blood flowed from his lips.

It seemed that it would not be easy to endure as the difference in capabilities was large.

Indeed, it was the skill of a confidant whom the Demon Lord treasured.

‘But he’s also human. ‘He must be feeling a lot of pressure due to the current situation.’

The situation of the war was going in the Allied side’s favor.

As a white-faced messenger, I had to make a choice.

Either block the enemy here or escape from the battlefield before the friendly formation collapses.

‘I’ll probably choose the latter.’

I wasn’t going to let it run away.

There was a good chance of winning.

What if he and Woo Ga-jin join forces to tie his feet and other Cheonan Gambu members exert constant pressure to exhaust his strength?

I didn’t know if I could catch him even without the presence of Buddha or evil spirits.

‘As for the Dragon King’s joining... judging by his looks, it would be difficult to expect.’

I thought maybe I was poisoned when I was first attacked.

It was a good decision to take care of my body and monitor the situation without overdoing it.

The Dragon King and the Thunder King were the core forces of the Baekdo martial arts team that had to face the Demon Cultist.

I shouldn’t have wasted money in a place like this.

Boom!

Three arrows hit the ground at different times.

The White-Faced Reaper, who jumped to avoid the arrow, swept the ground in the air and muttered.

“That won’t work.”

“...!”

Geomhu’s eyes widened fiercely.

She instinctively realized what the other person was trying to do and urgently shouted with more energy in her voice.

“He’s trying to run away! “Ah!”

Gagagagak!

As if they had been waiting, bullets and arrows poured in from all directions.

Five swords floating in the air gathered around the White-Faced Shinigami to protect his body.

“Remnants of Ghost Valley.”

A white-faced reaper who spits out words whose meaning is unknown.

Even though he was not shouting, his voice was heard clearly in everyone’s ears.

“Do your duty.”

The black-clothed people who were killing every sign among the demonic cultists attacked Wu Ga-jin and Geomhu.

While Wu Ga-jin waved the curved sword with a puzzled expression to shake them off, the Baek-faced Reaper kicked the air and left the spot.

“Stand!”

The hand of Ak Yeo-ryeong, who arrived late, quickly ran over Geum.

The air seemed to be distorted, and something invisible pressed down hard on the body of the White Faced Reaper.

thud!

The White-Faced Reaper, who fell to the ground, did not stop but jumped into the midst of the demonic cultists and hid himself.

Dragon King Yeonseon, who was quietly watching the whole situation, pointed to his back with his index finger and said, as if he knew this would happen.

“Chase.”

“yes!”

* * *

Even if I wasn’t directly involved in the fight, there were many things I could do.

This is something he can do because he is the head of the Cheonan Inspector General and the commander of the Allied Forces.

To command subordinates in an appropriate manner.

During this time, martial arts skills were not the only things I had accumulated.

Why did they put so much effort into collecting talent?

By bringing together people with various talents, we were able to respond to all kinds of situations.

‘I said they were remnants of a ghost song. Are they descendants of those who were executed by the pre-war cult leader?’

I was a little surprised, but it was within the expected range.

I expected that the White-Faced Reaper would have prepared a means for escape.

Therefore, he instructed Seo Ho-seon to form a chase team in advance.

Barely half the size.

Even if a chase team had been formed in advance, the time saved was only that much.

However, the original chase was a fight where a brief difference could mean much difference.

Sasasak!

The men, led by Seo Ho-seon, began to move in unison.

As each person was carefully selected, it would not be easy to shake off the White Faced Reaper.

I narrowed my eyes and muttered.

‘You won’t be able to get away easily.’
