Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 61 – The Beginning of the Demon Cult Civil War (02)

Wow!

The body of the person seen as the cloak splits was not properly dressed, but was wrapped in bandages, so to anyone who saw it, it would only look like a patient.

It wasn’t just a bandage, it was covered in scars, so much so that there was no place on the bandage that wasn’t bleeding.

‘The smell of fresh blood… Are you injured?’

“Kihihihihi!!”

He rushed towards me with a maniacal laugh and his cape fluttering. At first, I thought he was a guy with a bizarre appearance, armed with special abilities like Mozi Shusheng or Ha Ha-jin, and only difficult in limited situations.

Para la la la la rock-!

However, the moment a number of feather-like memorizations flew out from between the cloaks, I pulled back Somafu, who was trying to lead, and immediately swung my sword and opened the sword screen.

Go go go go go!

“Pfft!”

If it is a sword made with a quick sword, it will block all flying projectiles, and if it is a ghost sword, it will disturb the opponent’s eyes and cause it to escape, while a sword made of a sword called Jukrangcheongeom, which is a defeat sword, moves heavily and creates an afterimage made of ki to protect the front.

However, the power of the sword striking the heavy sword was quite strong, and I felt a little blood seeping out of my mouth. When I saw the sword that I did not block, sinking into the surrounding objects and even the handle disappearing, I realized that this person was Yukdangju, In other words, I was able to tell whether he was in the middle rank among the transcendental masters belonging to the Black Moon Party.

‘This guy… He’s stronger than I thought!’

“Ahahahaha! It’s been a long time since someone didn’t die from this!!”

Passsssuk!

I tried to use the Okcheon Cold Sword to create a fog of cold air around me and spray it in front of me, but the sword flew in faster than that and hit the side of the Hancheol Sword.

Paching!

My plan failed as the ice pieces shattered and fell, and in the meantime, the guy was pulling out a pile of memorized books from under his cloak.

“Come on, go forward! Do you want me to become a shield and stop that guy?”

Crash!

Moreover, the warriors of the Black Moon Party who followed this guy were not afraid of death and attacked me while blocking my view with their bodies.

It may seem a bit tricky, but I wasn’t alone.

“Ilcheonhwahwangjang (逸天樺后掌)!”

Quaaang!

As Somafu struck the air with his sword, the warriors of the Black Moon Party who were rushing towards me fell down and stood next to me, preventing the other warriors of the Black Moon Party from approaching.

Kyaang!

And then the full-scale battle began with me striking down the memorization that was flying at Somafu, and while I was watching Somafu destroy the heads of the Black Moon warriors with his own hands, I rushed at the head of the Yukdang.

Faaat!

In the middle, the Black Moon warriors who were attacking me were cutting them in two with their single swords as they approached, but Yukdangju did not step back or increase the distance like a memorization user, but instead dropped the memorization contained in his cloak on the floor and instead used his fingers. Set up

Let’s go!

Then, tangible energy rises from the tip of the finger, where the fingernail is pulled out and blood is seeping out, revealing sharp teeth like a shark. Watching this, the memorization that was thrown just now is only a joke, and the actual martial arts of Yukdangju are not fighting, but I could tell that it was a beast-like fighting method.

“Kihahahahaha! You’re fighting in close combat with the Sixth Lord of the Black Moon Party, the Beast King Iron Soul! You’re crazy!!”

Wow!

The warriors of the Black Moon Party who were next to the Lord of the Six Dangs, Beast King Iron Soul, were torn apart and rushed at me on all fours, with their long arms hanging down.

‘With one strike, the winner is won quickly!’

After hearing the mention of my brother, it was clear that other executives of the Black Moon Party were nearby, and if we spend time here and another executive comes, the battle will become difficult.

Let’s go!

One-hit kill, with the intention of killing them before they can recognize my swordsmanship and respond, I grind away the Black Moon warriors caught by my sword, crush everything around them, and immediately use the heart iron blade to strike a single blow, then spin around with the ten-second style elder sword. I continued.

Huuung-!

“Oh my, this is a bit dangerous, isn’t it?”

In the nick of time, I was avoiding the attack by jumping up in place to get out of the range of the Elder Phantom Sword, but only the Black Moon warriors who were trying to attack me around me were being cut into pieces.

Usually, when using such a large herbivore, there are bound to be gaps, so when I looked at Yukdangju’s mouth wide open and showed an expression of victory, I smiled so hard that I could see my teeth and immediately linked it to the eleven herbivorous.

“Gyukrang Celestial Strike.”

My hand, which had been spinning just a moment ago due to the rotational force of the elder sword, quickly recovered, and then a straight forward stabbing attack came out.

The Elder Hwan Sword was certainly powerful, but it was a martial art with many gaps, but if you used the Eleven Herbs style Jade Rang Celestial Strike in succession, you could even intercept the guy who was attacking the gap.

“Big!”

Kaaang!

“Wooha … This is quite hard ~!”

Yukdangju caught the jade-rang heavenly strike with his mouth.

To be precise, just before my sword tore through the inside of my mouth and pierced my tongue, I turned my head and bit the sword surface with my teeth to block it. Even though blood was flowing out of my mouth, Yukdangju used his teeth to block it. He grabbed the sword and did not let go.

Gigigigigigeek…!

The sharp teeth imbued with the spirit of Yukdangju dug into a completely refined Hancheol sword that could not be damaged by any reasonable means.

Creep… Wow!

“Things like Hancheol Sword~ are so common in our Black Moon Hall that it’s not even an unusual meal…”

Before the Lord of the Six Dangs, who damaged my sword with his teeth and smiled while bleeding profusely from his mouth, stretched out his hand, I leaned my upper body back to avoid the attack and used a summer bolt kick, raising the sword face with the tip of my toe.

Tooooo!

It was a special move used against Mara Heart, an application of dawn.

Shake it off.

I checked the Hancheol sword, which had two holes in it, and fortunately there was no damage to the blade. Although the durability and balance were off due to the holes, the vibrations spread through these holes, which actually strengthened the power of the sword.

“I think I received unexpected help…”

Looking at Yukdangju lying down with his face covered in blood and his teeth shattered, I slowly lowered the sword to his neck.

Fuuuk…!

Yukdangju’s head was cut off without him being able to use self-defense weapons properly, but he didn’t know what to do, so he stabbed him in the chest and killed him.

“Waaa-!!”

And above, from the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, the sounds of people shouting and clashing weapons began to resonate in earnest.

“……Let’s go!”

Somafu stepped on the head of the last remaining Black Moon warrior and leapt forward as if he was going to lead the way, but I looked back at the corpse of the six lords, feeling somewhat ominous.

Rumbling…

It felt strange to see red blood flowing out, not the usual black blood of the Black Moon, but the neck and heart had already been pierced, so how could they confirm the kill any further than this?

Kwasik!

Finally, after destroying the Danjeon by trampling it with a foot filled with internal power, he immediately followed Somafu and ran up to the headquarters of the Demonic Cult.

* *

“Drive out the blood cult bastards!”

“The black moon will devour the world!”

The forces led by the head of the Black Moon Temple had already arrived at the headquarters of the Demonic Cult and were pounding on the entrance.

The elite troops of the Black Moon Party, who had at least the skills of top-notch experts, were jumping over the walls carved on dizzying slopes with light techniques or climbing up one by one, supporting each other from below, while the Demonic Cult was on top of them using their weapons. They were blocking the invasion by taking pictures of the Blackwoldang’s warriors.

“You fools! Do you think this is just a castle wall? Due to the extreme and long-lasting wilderness spread out here, your sense of direction will be disturbed and your body will become heavy the moment you climb up!”

Jeon Jeon Giant, the leader of the Demonic Clan, who was in charge of the defense of the Demonic Cult’s headquarters, was laughing at the warriors of the Black Moon Party who were ignorantly climbing over the walls.

On the outside, it seems like an ordinary martial artist could jump up it because it’s an ordinary high wall, but here, if you don’t move by carefully distinguishing between the living gate and the dead gate, you will soon be eaten by the golden yellow dust and your body will hang down.

Now, all of the Masters of the Sumadai were occupying the Saengmun and were intercepting the Black Moon Party warriors coming through the temple gate, and they fell down with their hearts pierced or their heads cut off by even the Sumadae members who were second-rate experts who would normally be no match for them. There was.

‘But it’s strange. Aren’t the blood cultists also idiots…’

His role is to caution the demons of Sumadae, who have tasted blood, from becoming increasingly excited and not going down the castle walls. The Black Moon Party’s invasion could easily be prevented just by calmly defending under the cool and calm command of the dedicated giant.

If it weren’t for the traitor’s attack inside.

“Exclusive giant. Are the defenses working well?”

“Oh, Elder! It’s okay. These guys are just idiots.”

A monster with a red face who looks down indifferently at the warriors of the Black Moon Party who are lured into the formation and unilaterally cut and slashed.

At the appearance of the Red-faced Water Demon, the Five Elders of the Demonic Cult, the dedicated giant was reporting to him nervously, like a quick-witted new demon.

“Don’t let your guard down. The Black Moon Party uses peak masters like tools, and only those who reach the peak level can become executives.”

“Even so, if you don’t know about the Demonic Cult’s formation, you can’t break through. Even if you can enter the transcendental state alone, you can easily stop it if Elder Oh intercepts it.”

“hehehehe… Thank you for being kind to this old man. But isn’t there another way? Didn’t you prepare for that?”

“Another way?”

“For example.”

Kwasik!

The Hong-faced Water Horse trampled on the rock roots that were under its feet and broke them.

This stone root looks like nothing, just a piece of brick left over from building a castle wall, but in reality, it is an essential stepping stone for constructing the Long Galhwangjin, and it is an important enough location that the leader of the Sumadai, Jeon Yong-gi, has to personally protect it, but he destroyed it. .

“Huh? Ugh!”

And as soon as the Jinbeop was broken, the balance between the Four Gates and the Sacred Gates was reversed, and the demons guarding the walls were captured by the warriors of the Black Moon Temple and began to be one-sidedly massacred.

“Elder Five! What are you doing?”

The dedicated giant took out his sword and aimed it at Elder Five, but Elder Five had already lifted his iron sword and wrapped it around the giant’s arm.

Wow!

In the pain of having all his bones and flesh removed, the dedicated giant gritted his teeth and tried to hold on with his inner strength, but he had already been surprised and was embarrassed by the sight of his subordinates being attacked. Above all, even though he was a top-notch expert, he had not reached the peak level and was beyond the peak level. There was no way I could defeat Elder Oh.

“aaah!”

In the end, the entire body of the dedicated giant was caught in the iron piece, its flesh was compressed, and it exploded horribly and died. Finally, the gate that protected the headquarters of the Demonic Cult became the Black Moon Temple’s.

When the young man, the head of the temple, who was watching the scene from outside, jumped over the castle wall in one go and took his place in front of the dead giant, the red-faced elder Oh immediately knelt down and surrendered to him.

“Long live the Black Moon Party! May the false world come to an end!”

“Get up. It’s not time to say hello yet.”

Watching the young swordsman calmly judging the situation while covering his body with a cloak, Elder Oh began to tremble at the enormous power emanating from his body.

‘What kind of air power is this! Are there nine more people like this in the Black Moon Party…!’

There were only two masters of the Transcendental Cult in the Demonic Cult, Cheonma and Cheonmahu, and the prevailing opinion was that the elders judged Cheonmahu to be the Transcendental Master for the sake of face, but in reality, he would be weaker than the elders.

In the first place, I couldn’t admit that a girl from the western region called Cheonmahu because she was Cheonma’s wife was stronger than those who had been practicing magic for a long time.

That is why they joined the Black Moon Party based on the principle of strong self-respect.

Currently, the strongest force in Murim is the Black Moon Party.

“What about the rest of the elders?”

“Everyone, from the first to the seventh elders, is moving to secure Cheonmahu. I will guide you in a moment.”

“…I’m going to fail.”

“What do you mean…?”

“Couldn’t you get the Eight Elders, Heuksahyeolgyeom, into one group?”

“Well, I don’t need a country bumpkin like that! It’s not that I couldn’t bring him into my group, but I just don’t need a stupid guy like that…”

Elder Oh, who was furious and angry, choked up when the Black Moon shrine leader glared at him and lowered his head again. Seeing that, the shrine head pulled out his sword.

“If Heuksahyeolgyeom and Cheonmahu are safe, half of the Demonic Cult’s power remains. In that case, we will enter an all-out war.”

“Securing Cheonmahu with just the elders… Wow!”

The leader of the temple indifferently looked down at Elder Oh’s red-faced water horse, who was vomiting blood and rolling on the ground just from the power being shot towards him, and raised his black sword and shouted in an emotionless voice.

“All those who have received the protection of the Black Moon, rise up.”

It was the beginning of a full-scale demonic civil war.
