The Grand Mudang Saga [Path of the Shaman]

141 The

thick smell of blood fills the forest.

Flocks of hungry crows and beasts clung to the corpses scattered everywhere.

Most of them were warriors of the Demonic Cult, and some of them were masters of Kunlun.

Chaeng Chaeng!

Surprised by the sound of metal crows, they flutter and fly up to the branches, but they cannot easily leave because there are prey everywhere and land again.

“That way!”

A cry that came from afar like an echo.

Chaeeng!

“Cheak!”

The sound of metal always made screams.

The origin of the sound, sometimes distant and sometimes closer, was not far from the forest.

* * *

“Heo-eok heo-eok…”

Unam was exhausted, but the light in his eyes did not fade.

It’s been three days since we chased the demonic cult’s attack from Yangfeng.

They chased the trail day and night, and they were able to secure Bang Yu-cheok’s party, which the leader of the Demonic Cult was chasing.

An old man and two middle-aged men.

It was Yucheok Bang and his family.

After securing them, Unam immediately stopped pursuing and ran away.

With the current power, even the janhonma could not wage an all-out war with the forces of Childongcheon led by Lee Kang-baek.

It was obvious that it would be impossible to avoid the grassroots, but he could not stop everything alone. My heart hurts, but I had to step back.

Since they requested reinforcements, they decided that it would be better to move Bangyucheok to a safe place and then drive out the Demonic Sect.

Unam, who changed his purpose from pursuit to escape, ran towards the south with the masters of Kunlun. However, there was a target to protect, so I couldn’t speed it up properly.

“Cheuk, the young guys in Kunlun are very good at running away all the way here.”

“…”

I was faced with the most unwanted situation.

Unable to resist the pursuit of the enemy, they were surrounded.

The vanguard of Childongcheon who was chasing Bang Yoocheok.

Even the number of enemies surrounding him seemed to have reached fifty or so.

The power difference was too great.

Also, they were the elite of Childongcheon selected by Kangbaek Lee.

As confirmed in the previous clashes, not only the tangi but also the armed warriors were mobilized.

Even the superiority of martial arts could not make up for the difference in power. In the end, they had to form a camp and reduce the number of enemies as much as possible.

Unam looked around with a sharp gaze.

The way they hold out in a situation where their strength is inferior is to preoccupy more advantageous terrain.

“Jeonhyun! Sonbang! rock!”

With Unam’s cry, Jeon Hyeon and two disciples were shot into a place surrounded by the Demonic Bridge.

“All over! Double dust!”

The remaining disciples formed a defensive formation as if drawing a circle with Bang Yoo-cheok and his party at the center.

“movement!”

At the same time as the order was given, Kunlun’s disciples set up swordplay and started moving in a circle.

The fight started again.

Moving in formation causes a massive slowdown, but gains massive defense in return.

In particular, the double square they formed was a formation in which two Samjaejin overlapped, and the disciples of Cheonryonggak had been working hand in hand for a long time.

The outer circle blocks an enemy’s attack, and the inner circle attacks the blocked enemy.

In the meantime, Unam ran around the circular defense from the center point and applied tension.

However, the problem was that the number of enemies was too many and the disciples’ fatigue accumulated due to the chase for several days.

“Kuk!”

The groans of wounded disciples burst out from all over the square.

“Hold on!”

Unam encouraged the Demonic Cultist who had dug into the square’s gap by popping the head.

It wasn’t too far.

If you make a fan-shaped horizontal march with your back against a rock, you only need to block enemies attacking from the front.

“A head! sideways! Signal Flare!”

When they reached the rock, Unam escaped from Samjaejin and jumped toward the warriors of Childongcheon.

It was to buy time to perfectly form the formation.

Perong!

As they stepped on the ground, a burst of fire erupted, and the warriors of Childongcheon focused their attacks on Unam.

“bout!”

At the attacks coming from all directions, Unam continued to radiate tension and wander around.

“Sasook!”

In the meantime, the jeonyo who made up the formation fired a signal flare and called Unam.

Unam, who had been stirring through the gaps between the enemies, burst the enemy in front of him and quickly retreated.

“Whoa…”

Unam calms his breath as he looks at the encirclement with wary eyes.

Jin is complete.

Since the signal flare was fired, it must have been confirmed by the Kunlun warriors who had descended for reinforcements.

Of course, it was very dangerous to set off a flare in the current situation. You can contact your allies, but you may be discovered by your enemies.

But the choices are limited. A situation where you have no choice but to take a risky gamble.

From now on, reduce the number of enemies as quickly as possible.

The appearance of the demons standing in front of my eyes and surrounded by layers.

As Unam picked up his breath, he heard the rough breathing of the disciples who made up the camp.

Everyone is tired.

Both Kunlun and the Demonic Cao had a momentary gap as they formed formations again, but they should not delay.

I had to hurry up and reduce the number of enemies and escape to another place.

If an enemy is added following the vanguard, they may not be able to escape forever.

I had to make my own way.

I have no choice but to fight until my breath catches up to my chin and a sweet taste lingers in my mouth.

For now, that was the only way.

‘Damn, if only I was a little stronger…’

Jinmu suddenly remembered.

If it had been him, it would have been enough to break through.

But he is always a guest. And this was what Kunlun had to do.

back.

Unam tightly clenched his fists.

don’t want to lose

If Jinmu can do it, he can do it too.

“Jeon Hyun Jeon! Stay in shape!”

“…!”

After shouting three words in a row, Unam jumped at the enemies.

“Damn everyone, hold your seats!”

Jeon Hyeon and Jeon Yo, who were in charge of key positions on the left and right, grabbed their swords.

Quaang! Fuck!

Unam moved alternately left and right in front of Hoengjin and attacked the Demonic Cultists who were closing in on the encirclement.

This does not mean that there is no attack at all in the horizontal movement, but the burden is significantly reduced.

Even so, no one could help Unam.

The moment the formation was disturbed, there could be a problem with Bang Yoo-cheok’s personal safety.

Their goal now is to safely rescue Bang Yu-cheok from the clutches of the Demonic Cult.

Even if you lose your life in the process.

That’s why no one stepped forward even though they knew that Unam was in a dangerous situation.

Kurleung!

With a fierce noise like a dragon trimming, the eight eclipses of the Cloud Dragons unfolded in no order.

bang! Fuck!

Every time the tension of Unam exploded, those hit by the tension fell down spewing blood fountains.

“Sasuk! Excessive! Save your energy!”

Jeon Yo, who was guarding the formation, shouted urgently, but Unam could not hear it.

Now was not the time to save power.

One guy at a time had to be knocked down unconditionally to reduce the power.

And you have to move to another place quickly.

“Haap!”

Whoa!

The moment the shot tension exploded violently, half of the body of the demon that swung the sword toward Unam flew away.

“Whoop whoop…”

I moved my body to the point where my muscles were torn, and although it consumed my energy excessively, it was effective.

The encirclement, which had been narrowing down, hesitated as Unam spewed tension and raged like a mad dragon.

Both the Demonic Cult and Kunlun were taking a breather from the exhausting battle.

In the meantime, Unam calmed his breath and glanced at the encirclement with ferocious eyes.

decreased

The siege was significantly shallower.

Thanks to their desperate efforts, the number of injured and dead is only half.

A little further forward, only ten people.

If only ten people were reduced, they were able to escape the enemy’s pursuit and start running again.

“Kill all the horses.”

Unam, who was in a state of exhaustion but couldn’t show weakness, raised his momentum more than before, staring at the enemies with lifeless eyes.

But suddenly the siege breaks apart.

Dripping Dripping.

The sound of heavy metal dragging the ground.

A figure approaching with a thick demonic spirit filling the space as if suffocating.

He walked with a leisurely pace, as if walking through an open door.

“This Lee Kang-baek.”

Dark muscles form around Unam’s chin, and a look of despair appears on the faces of Kunlun’s disciples.

The owner of the Seven Eastern Heavens, which is in charge of the border between Xinjiang and Qinghai, among the twelve Eastern Heavens of the Demonic Cult.

The janhonma is also Lee Kang-baek.

A master of the 20th rank of the Demonic Sect, who uses a huge yam sword, appeared.

And following him, the main soldiers of Childongcheon are added to the siege.

cooong!

The yam sword, which had been lightly lifted, hit the floor vertically and violently.

The momentum that had maintained a tight parallel was broken at once.

“Young people of Kunlun.”

“….”

Lee Kang-baek’s black eyes turned to Unam, who blocked Hoeng-jin’s front hem.

“Give me the goyaja.”

“dog sound!”

At Unam’s cry, a fishy smile appears on Lee Kang-baek’s face.

“Lee Kang-baek! Are you ready to go to war?”

“War? It’s funny, you’re a disciple of Kunlun. Were there days when the Demonic Cult and Kunlun weren’t at war?”

Lee Kang-baek held the yam sword that had been erected vertically with one hand and pointed at Unam.

“If you hold on, everyone will die. Decide.”

With a simple threat, the demonic energy came out with a hook and pressed down on Kunlun’s disciples.

“Oops!”

The disciples who formed formation made moans suppressed by the intimidation.

A warrior who has reached the river level.

It is strong enough to cause internal injuries to the disciples of Kunlun, who are excellent enough to overcome countless crises.

Can you do it?

Anxiety began to creep into Unam’s heart.

But you have to. no i had to do it

The only one who could fight him here now was himself.

If Unam couldn’t stop it, everyone would surely be slaughtered without even trying their best.

“Sasook.”

“…?”

“Now leave it to us.”

While Unam hesitated, Jeon Yao and Jeon Hyeon gave up their formation and came to the side and grabbed their swords.

they also know

As long as Lee Kang-baek appeared, the formation did not mean much.

“…?”

“Sasook is the future of our Kunlun.”

“Jeonyo’s words are correct. While we fight, Sasuk-nim, you have to step back.”

Jeon Yo and Jeon Hyeon stand in the way of Unam because they are outmatched by each other.

“Jeonyo… Jeonhyeon…”

“Sasook is the one who will carry on the name of Jinryong. You should never die in a place like this. You must keep your heart strong.”

Jeon Hyun continues the words of Jeon Yo.

“The gentleman’s revenge is not too late even if it takes ten years.”

“…”

“We will die here, so you can kill him on the next battlefield.”

“Jeonhyun.”

“Don’t tell me to back off. It is more important for us to keep Sasuk than to lose Guyaja to the Demonic Cult.”

Kunlun’s disciples, who formed the formation behind Junhyeon’s words, nodded their heads.

Sajil who is much older than himself…

“Don’t worry and follow us. The most honorable thing for a Kunlun warrior is to die on the battlefield against the Demonic Cult.”

ah!

At Jeonhyeon’s words, Unam made an expression as if he had been hit in the head.

What were you worried about?

What did you hesitate to worry about?

Jeon Hyun is right.

After realizing it for a moment, my head was clear and my mind was at ease.

What if you can’t win?

Kunlun’s warriors are the guardians of the central plains to block the Demonic Cult. That was their honor and will that they had kept for a long time.

I just risked my life to protect it by winning and leaving the supreme problem.

‘I was stupid. I showed an ugly appearance to the sajils.’

Unam inhaled until his chest swelled, then exhaled at once and stepped forward.

“Sasuk?”

The faces of Jeon Hyeon and Jeon Yo are distorted.

“From now on, the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Pavilion will fight against the evil enemies of magic. The rest of the disciples must protect Guyaja until reinforcements arrive.”

A powerful voice resounds thrillingly.

“I will follow your orders.”

Although the situation was not what they wanted, Jeon Hyeon and Jeon Yo, who gave up further dissuade due to Unam’s determined spirit, took a stance toward Lee Kang-baek.

“They are tearful. Seeing how they say yes, it seems that they have made a decision.”

Whirik!

Lee Kang-baek, who was holding the wild sword sword on his shoulder, lowered his stance, and at the same time, demonic energy mixed with murder spewed out of his eyes.

“I’ll cut every single one of them.”
