Chapter 205
Chapter 205
With Baekji's shout, a thousand men in gray knelt down at once. Although they tried to resist, their knees bent helplessly as if a huge mountain were pressing down on them.
"...!"
Not only the 'Shi Fortress' martial artists, but also the successors of the twelve guardian families, including Shi Fengsheng, were completely dumbfounded.
'Divine majesty'.
If not a god, how could one possess such majesty?
In the middle of the thousand people who had formed a tight formation and were kneeling, Baekji stood dignifiedly and looked into the distance.
The old ancestor of Mingshan, who was desperately fleeing, and Lei Mo, who was holding on to him.
Quan Ma, when the formation was broken, came to his senses.
―Quan Ma! Help Lei Mo and catch that brat!
Quan Ma was bewildered by the Cult Leader's voice that was ringing in his head and looked around.
―What are you doing! I told you to catch him right away!
The Cult Leader's stern voice, which struck like thunder.
Quan Ma immediately flew his body. Since he had secretly heard from Shi Tal-in, the head of the Shi family, that the Cult Leader was alive, he did not have a single doubt.
As Quan Ma joined in, the old ancestor of Mingshan's feet were tied.
Baekji passed through the men in gray, who were kneeling and struggling, and approached Zhuge Wenqing. Zhuge Wenqing's face was pale.
Although there were still about a thousand men in gray behind, they were so terrified by Baekji's overwhelming martial prowess that they could not even move.
Zhuge Wenqing's eyebrows twitched as he desperately looked for a way to live.
'―!'
He felt that Baekji's steps, which were approaching him, were somehow unstable.
Although he was calm on the outside, his face was also pale.
'That's right! He has an internal injury.'
How could a person withstand the 'internal energy' of a thousand people? Zhuge Wenqing inwardly sighed in relief.
It was clear that that brat was pretending to be calm even though he had an internal injury.
Zhuge Wenqing, with eyes like a wildcat, scanned Baekji's entire body as he slowly walked.
An occasional irregular step.
A trembling finger.
Zhuge Wenqing was sure. But he did not show it.
Rather, he took two steps back as if he were afraid.
"Kneel!"
Baekji ordered Zhuge Wenqing, who was retreating. The end of his words was unstable.
Zhuge Wenqing went forward and then knelt on one knee in front of Baekji and cupped his hands.
"I have committed a mortal sin. How dare I be in the So family..."
Zhuge Wenqing's words did not continue to the end.
He released his cupped hands and thrust out both palms.
"Die!"
'Sharp energy' exploded from his palms, and 'sharp energy' attacked Baekji. Zhuge Wenqing was also a master of the 'true realm'.
Although Baekji hastily raised his hand to block, the distance was too close.
The moment the 'sharp energy' exploded, Zhuge Wenqing hastily pulled his body back and retreated.
"Keu-euk!"
When Zhuge Wenqing saw Baekji staggering and taking several steps back, he immediately turned his body and fled.
Since he was injured, he had to attack again and to finish him, but... he was a monster who had broken the 'One Hundred and Eight Demonic Prison Formation' and then the 'Heavenly Net Soul Shattering Formation' by himself.
'I have to live first! I, who have a long way to go, cannot die here!'
Zhuge Wenqing's loyalty was not to the old ancestor of Mingshan. It was the order he had received to help the old ancestor of Mingshan attack the Demonic Cult.
It didn't matter what happened to the 'Mingshan Sect'. No, if they were to die together with the Demonic Cult, there would be no better result.
"That brat!"
Shi Fengsheng and the masters of the Shi family stepped forward and tried to chase, but it was too late to catch up with Zhuge Wenqing, who had fled with determination.
In fact, they were so exhausted from the close battle with the 'Mingshan Sect' that it was even difficult to stand.
Besides, although the men in gray had been suppressed by Baekji, they were in a fine state. They had to take care of the enemy in front of them first.
At that moment, the 'Blood Wind Squad' of the So family arrived.
"We have come to support from the So family!"
The 'Blood Wind Squad' was the elite martial force of the So family.
The 'Shi Fortress' martial artists' morale soared in an instant.
"Kill those brats!"
Shi Tal-in, wanting to seize the chance of victory that Baekji had created, shouted and gave the order, and he himself also attacked the men in gray.
The 'Shi Fortress' martial artists, who had been on the defensive and had been struggling until now, all rushed out.
The men in gray, when their leader, the old ancestor of Mingshan, and their strategist, Zhuge Wenqing, who had been commanding the formation, fled, their morale was broken.
Although they were far superior in number, their eyes kept turning to the back.
The 'Blood Wind Squad' of the So family was rushing in without hesitation. If the sect's support forces were to rush in soon, they would also miss the chance to escape.
For them, who had been raised for revenge for a long time, there was no such thing as loyalty to their comrades or loyalty to the 'Mingshan Sect'.
As their leaders disappeared, they immediately looked for a way to live and fled in all directions.
Not only the 'Shi Fortress' martial artists, but also the martial artists and successors of the Zhu family and the Hong family, who had come to support, chased and cut down the fleeing men in gray.
"Keu-euk!"
A fierce battle broke out again, and screams were rampant in all directions.
"So Baek-cheon!"
Bi Jun-hua ran towards Baekji, who was staggering after being hit by Zhuge Wenqing's surprise attack.
It was a truly absurd situation. To have made a thousand people kneel at once and then to have been hit by a surprise attack at the last moment due to carelessness.
Bi Jun-hua supported the staggering Baekji.
"Are you okay... oh my, blood!"
Bi Jun-hua, who was examining his condition, was surprised to see blood flowing from the corner of Baekji's mouth and shouted.
The 'Blood Wind Squad' flocked towards Baekji.
"Young Master So! Are you alright?"
"It's nothing. You go and chase those brats."
"No, sir. Young Master So's safety is the top priority."
"I will rest for a while. Bi Jun-hua, you guide me to the back garden's separate building."
"I will escort you."
The leader of the 'Blood Wind Squad' called ten members and had them escort Baekji.
Baekji, with Bi Jun-hua's support, went to the back garden of 'Shi Fortress'.
Baekji, who had entered the back garden's separate building, said to Bi Jun-hua and the team leader of the 'Blood Wind Squad' who had followed behind, "Blockade the back garden and don't let anyone come. I will have to treat my internal injuries for a while."
The team leader of the 'Blood Wind Squad' received the order and went out.
"Anyway... it was amazing. To make a thousand people kneel at once. By any chance, are you stronger than the Cult Leader? But shouldn't we call a doctor?"
When they were alone, Bi Jun-hua treated Baekji as the Young Lord, So Ya-hu.
"Stop talking nonsense and you go out too."
As Bi Jun-hua stood up, Baekji said, "Wait, that's not a bad idea. I will be sick for a while. Tell the So family to send a doctor."
"There should be a doctor in 'Shi Fortress'."
"How can you trust those blockheads? You go and tell them yourself and bring a doctor. Tell the 'Blood Wind Squad' who are guarding outside not to let anyone in."
Bi Jun-hua's eyes flashed. She had thought he was injured, but it seemed that was not the case.
She winked one eye and said, "And then?"
"Probably... I won't be here then, so you take care of it as you see fit."
"Heu-heu-heu... you're going to do something on the pretext of being sick, right?"
You have to give her credit for her quick wit.
"Don't worry. Not even an ant will be able to get in. I will guard it myself."
Bi Jun-hua closed the door and went out and said to the 'Blood Wind Squad' martial artists who were waiting, "Guard along the back garden wall."
.
.
.
Baekji, who was left alone wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.
He went to the bed and put a pillow under the blanket to make it look like a person was sleeping.
Baekji's appearance, who had gone out through the back window changed.
* * *
Pung!
The 'Bright Left Emissary' was pushed back one 'zhang' by the 'sharp energy' that had exploded from his back and then spat out blood.
"Right Emissary! How could you...?"
The corner of the 'Bright Right Emissary' Gyeongseung's mouth went up.
"Gu Yang-hae. You didn't know a day like this would come, did you?"
"Gyeongseung! You have joined a rebellion! Are you not afraid of the Cult Leader?"
The 'Bright Left Emissary' Gu Yang-hae, upon hearing the news that the Hyuk-ryeon family had started a rebellion and had occupied the main headquarters, had run with the 'Bright Right Emissary' Gyeongseung.
But when they were in sight of the main headquarters, the 'Bright Right Emissary', who had been following behind, had used his hands.
"What were you lacking..."
'One person below, ten thousand people above'.
The position of the 'Bright Left and Right Emissaries' could be said to be right below the Cult Leader.
"How long can I live as someone else's hands and feet? Besides... if I were the 'Left Emissary', I might not have. I have endured for a long time."
The 'Bright Left and Right Emissaries' also had a ranking. The 'Bright Left Emissary' could be said to be the senior.
"It would not have been enough even if I were treated as the second-in-command, but to put me under you. If the Cult Leader had any sense, he would not have done that."
"Keu-eu-euk."
Gu Yang-hae suppressed his exploding anger and looked around. Gyeongseung saw this and sneered.
"Don't think of running away. To be honest, wasn't I superior in martial arts?"
"Hmph! That's your problem. You don't even know how big your own bowl is and you act up... even the position of 'Bright Right Emissary' was too much for you."
Gu Yang-hae said, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Let me ask you one thing. What were you promised? Did Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu say he would make you the Cult Leader?"
"A dying brat has a lot he wants to know."
Gyeongseung twisted the corner of his mouth.
"Heu-heu. It seems you were promised the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art'. You foolish brat. You will continue to act as someone else's limbs in the future. Do you think Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu will really hand over the 'Heavenly Demon Divine Art' to you?"
"Heu-heu-heu. I have already received it."
"What?"
Gu Yang-hae shouted in surprise.
"Keu-ha-ha-ha. You were hit by my one palm, and you still don't have a clue? Are you a fool who doesn't even know that you were hit by 'Heavenly Demon Qi'?"
Gu Yang-hae had inwardly guessed. Among the martial arts of the 'Bright Right Emissary' that he knew, there was nothing that could break his 'protective energy' in one blow.
'As expected, it was 'Heavenly Demon Qi'. What happened? Could it be that the Cult Leader has really been defeated?'
Gu Yang-hae's head felt as if it would explode with questions that led to more questions.
Gyeongseung, with a sinister smile, took a step forward.
"Now go. When you go to the afterlife, say hello to the Cult Leader."
"Wait!"
Gu Yang-hae retreated and raised his hand to block.
"Are you saying... that the Cult Leader has really ascended?"
"Whether he has ascended or has died... anyway, it is certain that he is dead. Isn't that why Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu has revealed his claws?"
"You will also be 'killed after your use is over'."
"Keu-heu-heu... a brat who is about to die is worrying about others..."
Gyeongseung, like a thunderbolt, unfolded both his palms.
With a sound as if space were being torn, a sharp 'sharp energy' that cut flesh attacked Gu Yang-hae.
Although Gu Yang-hae raised his internal energy, his 'qi and blood' boiled, and his vision went dark. He was in a situation where he could not use his internal energy, having been hit by 'Heavenly Demon Qi'.
"I-ik!"
Gu Yang-hae exploded his 'innate true qi' and received Gyeongseung's both palms.
Kwa-ang!
"Keu-eu-euk!"
Gu Yang-hae, like a kite with its string cut, flew back and was about to be slammed into the ground.
Hwik,
A nimble shadow received Gu Yang-hae's figure and then soared back and fled.
Gyeongseung's thick eyebrows twitched.
"Jian Yi! Do you also want to die? Don't you come right away!"
Jian Yi glanced back and then said with a cold smile, "Right Emissary! You had better come to your senses. The Cult Leader has come out of the 'Heavenly Demon Cave'."
"What?"
Gyeongseung, who was about to chase after Jian Yi, stopped.
To think that the Cult Leader, who was said to be dead, had come out of the 'Heavenly Demon Cave'.
Hyuk-ryeon Seung-mu had clearly said he was dead.
He could see Jian Yi, who was running away in the distance. He thought that he had deceived him to buy time.
Gyeongseung's face contorted.
"You cunning brat... let's see how far you run."
Kwang!
As Gyeongseung stomped his foot, a roar erupted. He flew thirty 'zhang' in an instant and chased after Jian Yi.
Jian Yi, with the unconscious 'Bright Left Emissary' on his back, ran towards the So family with all his might.
The main headquarters had already been taken over by the Hyuk-ryeon family. The martial force of the inner fortress had already been won over by the Hyuk-ryeon family and had opened the fortress gate wide, and the Hyuk-ryeon family had entered without bloodshed.
"Damn it. I didn't even know the foundation was rotting. This is your responsibility, 'Bright Left Emissary'. That brat, Tie Yantai, always slips away at times like this. Aigo, I'm going to die. What am I doing at this old age?"
Jian Yi ran, grumbling constantly.
