The annihilation of Tougwi and the Murim Alliance forces he led.
It was quite painful from the perspective of the Murim Alliance.
This is because many of the Sapa masters who had always respected him joined his command and fought under him.
Especially in the case of reckless warriors who risk their lives to fight, the loss in combat power was bound to be quite large because each individual’s martial arts skills were outstanding.
However, after the news was delivered, the warriors of the Guizhou Province Martial Arts Alliance cheered. There had been regrettable sacrifices, and the shocking fact that Tougui was the leader of the Demonic Cult was revealed, but the news also came that Cheonhwa had not only defeated him, but also annihilated the remaining main force of the Demonic Cult.
Thanks to this, their momentum actually increased, and with the advantage in terms of military power, the Murim Alliance was able to push back the Demonic Cult’s base and reclaim most of Guizhou Castle.
“This can’t be happening… … .”
However, even after the news spread widely, the martial artists of the Moorim Alliance throughout the Central Plains could not simply smile and rejoice.
Rather, there were many cases where I was so shocked that I lost my mind.
This is because along with the good news from Guizhou Province, bad news from Shaanxi Province was also delivered.
“The Murim Alliance has fallen… …!”
The fall of the headquarters of the Murim Alliance in Seomseo.
It was something that even the heavens were surprised by.
Although their reaction was not as enthusiastic as Bukgungyeon or other martial artists, the news that the main headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance in Shaanxi had collapsed while they were reclaiming Guizhou was shocking.
“Cheonma… … Is that right?”
Of course, it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand at all.
He swept away the main force of the Demonic Cult that was trying to invade Guizhou Province, but it was difficult to say that it was the real main force of the Demonic Cult.
The power of the leader of the small group, Tougwi, was beyond imagination, and there were several Hwagyeong-level masters among their group.
But I have already seen three masters of the Huajing level in the North Sea alone, and I have seen many more masters of that level.
Of course, it may be that they took those situations seriously and invested significant power into them, but is that really all?
It would be normal to conserve power even after a few of those guys have fallen.
That’s why I was thinking that maybe there is something else that is the real focus.
So maybe from the beginning, Guizhou Castle was just bait to draw the power of the Murim Alliance elsewhere.
It seemed like a plan to advance south by putting forth efficient Yin-gong forces and then attack Shaanxi in one breath once the main forces of the Murim Alliance were withdrawn to block them.
But even so, it was hard to believe that the main headquarters of the Murim Alliance would collapse so easily even if Cheonma himself had stepped in.
The third.
Because two of the three known to have the strongest military force in the current martial arts world were there.
Not only that, as it was the headquarters of the Murim Alliance, the number and level of the masters residing there were enormous.
Although they merged with the Black Alliance, they had to split their forces because they maintained two main units. However, geographically, they judged that the defense of Shaanxi was more urgent, so they sent some of the Black Alliance’s main forces to Shaanxi. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that about 70% of the Central Plains martial arts world’s forces were gathered there.
Of course, this is a figure excluding Cheonhwa himself.
“Or were the authors of Samje weaker than expected?”
And it’s not just any other place, it’s the main office.
The Murim Alliance was also a symbolic place that could never be given up.
As such, the resistance must have been fierce, but the fact that it fell meant that the power of the Demonic Cult and the Murim Alliance had collided and been defeated.
Even if there were several masters of the Hwagyeong, whether they had truly ascended to the Demonic Cult or had been forcibly brought up, it was clear that it would not be an easy task.
Even if we assume that the mid- to low-level warriors below the second-rate are meaningless in front of absolute masters, the number of top-tier masters gathered at the headquarters of the Murim Alliance in Seomseo was almost a hundred, and the number of top-tier or above masters below the first-rate were difficult to count.
In my experience, those who have acquired martial arts skills at the level of Hwagyeong through force are at a level that can be dealt with by those who have reached the pinnacle of martial arts or those who have reached that level, depending on the compatibility of the martial arts they have learned or their personal abilities.
If that’s the case, then it must mean that the main battle was between Cheonma and Samje, and the fact that it fell meant that Cheonma won by fighting both of them at the same time.
Taegeuk sword and plum blossom sword.
If the two had insisted on a one-on-one fight, citing pride as an excuse, then it would have been different, but if they had attacked at the same time, then it would have meant that the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon were overwhelming.
“The extreme of Hwagyeong… … I guess it could be.”
Considering the power of the Cheonmasura Sword or Cheonmasam Sword that the Sogyoju had used, it seemed like it might be at the level of a mature Hwagyeong similar to them.
If he had completed the Cheonmasamgeom, it seemed possible that he would be able to suppress two of the three emperors with his superior martial arts skills.
However, the possibility that the situation had reached its peak could not be ruled out.
Considering that when the young sect leader drew out the power of both the Cheonmasura Sword and the Cheonmasam Sword, he displayed the power of a fully-ripened Hwagyeong, it wouldn’t be strange if the Cheonma, who is obviously even more outstanding, also possessed martial arts that reached the peak of Hwagyeong.
And if that’s the case… …it certainly wouldn’t be an easy opponent.
Even if you give it your all, it’s difficult to guarantee victory.
But that doesn’t mean I’m going to lose.
“Losing one of the three emperors? It’s going to be a bit of a hassle.”
However, he never thought that he would be given the opportunity to face that Heavenly Horse right away.
He honestly didn’t think that the Murim Alliance would give him a chance first, to the point where he thought of luring him into a fight using the Asura statue as bait.
The honor of having stopped Cheonma and killed him would be the same as becoming the best in the world, which all martial artists dream of, so even if he thought he could stop Cheonma, he wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to save energy or avoid danger.
But now I don’t know.
It seems that only the Three Emperors can deal with the Heavenly Demon, but one of them was killed in this clash.
Instead, it is said that the advance of the Demonic Cult was halted for a while and the warriors of the Murim Alliance were given time to retreat, but a defeat was still a defeat.
If Cheonma had taken the warriors of the Murim Alliance hostage and cowardly beheaded them, then that would be understandable, but the difference in power that cannot be explained with words has been revealed.
Volcanic inspection.
Among the three emperors who were guarding the headquarters of the Murim Alliance in Seomseo, the one who was killed was the top leader of the Hwasan faction.
He is a member of the Hwasan faction who used to be the leader of the Murim Alliance, but he is known to have mastered the Jaha Shin technique to the extreme by continuously developing it based on lessons from that time. However, he declared that he would become the sword of the Murim Alliance and take the lead in slaying Cheonma, rather than the leader, but in the end, he was unable to overcome Cheonma’s wall.
His neck fell off and his blood sprinkled on the ground like flower petals.
Even though he had formed an alliance with the leader of the shamanist faction called Taegeukgeomje.
It is said that even the strength of two of the three emperors could not stand against Cheonma.
Of course, the two may not have had good compatibility or chemistry, and they may not have practiced their combined skills separately, so they may not have been able to fully demonstrate their skills.
However, the same would be true for the remaining three emperors, Gyeongcheon Black Emperor and Taegeuk Sword Emperor.
It was uncertain whether the remaining two would be able to stop and kill the Heavenly Demon with just their strength, or even if the other masters of the same realm, the Four Kings, the Overlord, and the Poison King, joined forces despite their differences in strength.
“My turn might come sooner than I thought.”
So, Cheonhwa thought that maybe it would be his turn.
At least if they could drain the power of the Heavenly Demon or injure it, it would be a great advantage for them.
Because it will give you hope.
Of course, this idea could be based on the premise that Cheonhwa could not fight Cheonma alone, but if he had already been destroyed by Cheonma once, it was highly likely that he would think that way.
It would not be easy to imagine that a young master like Cheonhwa, and a master of the Yin-Gong class who is considered to be specialized in dealing with multiple opponents, could go toe-to-toe with Cheonma and defeat him.
“Now, what should we do… … .”
Hearing the bad news from the north, Cheonhwa thought for a moment.
Since Guizhou has already been recaptured, the assigned role has ended, and now it is time to consider how to move forward.
Should we strengthen our defenses and retreat to join the main force of the Murim Alliance, or should we advance all the way to Sacheon and strangle them?
“I guess there’s nothing I can do.”
After much thought, Cheonhwa made a decision.
Decided not to go.
Even if he moved, he didn’t know if they would acknowledge it.
It is possible to pit oneself against Cheonma as a way to buy time, but it is uncertain whether a proper showdown will take place.
There were still two of the three emperors left, and others who had received royal titles, and there were not many troops left.
So, at best, they will try to inflict damage on them with long-range attacks using sound energy, and it is unlikely that they will give them troops that can break through to the point where they can properly fight the Demonic Cult or face the Heavenly Demon.
You can do it alone, but it’s hard to guarantee a showdown with Cheonma even when you’re fully prepared.
There were many difficult aspects to stick with after wasting all your energy trying to sweep away the leftovers.
“You have no choice but to make it so that they have no choice but to come to you. Or, you can create an environment where they can come forward.”
So Cheonhwa was going to make room in a different way.
The goal is to make it so that Cheonma has no choice but to step forward, and so that the Murim Alliance has no choice but to support him.
“Okay, then let’s see how it turns out.”
As a result, he led all of the Guizhou forces of the Murim Alliance, including Jeon Gwi, and moved to Sacheon Castle.
He started to sweep away and push back all the empty shells of the Demonic Cult forces that had lost their main force.
So I was forced to make a choice.
If we recover all of Sichuan like this and then attack Gansu, the main force of the Heavenly Horse and Demonic Cult will be isolated in Shaanxi.
It left them with no choice but to either block and defend, or to go deeper.
But that worry couldn’t last long.
They are also demons and enemies of my parents.
Because the merciless performance of Heavenly Flowers began to mercilessly strike, tearing even their souls apart.
The vast land of Sacheon, once occupied by the Demonic Cult, changed hands again in an instant, and the speed at which it happened was even faster than when the Demonic Cult swept in and devoured it.
Meanwhile, the defeated troops of the Murim Alliance quickly retreated and reached Hubei.
It would be okay to flee to Honam, where the headquarters of another martial arts alliance, which was once the headquarters of the Black Sword Alliance, was located, but this was because the Jegal Family and the Wudang faction were located in Hubei.
Although Jegal Se-ga was Jegal Se-ga, he could not give up the shaman, one of the greatest pillars of the martial arts world, so he settled down there and sent a messenger to another main sect in Honam to ask for support.
Another one of the three emperors, the Black Emperor of Gyeongcheon, personally leads the elite forces and requests support.
I thought of the battle at the shaman’s house as the final battle with Cheonma.
However, among them, only the disciples of Shaolin, including the Shaolin abbot, left the battle line.
If Cheonma and his army go to Hanam instead of Hubei, the Shaolin there could be in danger.
There were opinions to build a defensive line in Hanam, but it was difficult to connect with other elite forces remaining in Honam, so selection and concentration were made.
Even if they go anyway, if the Demonic Cult really targets Shaolin, it would be impossible to defend it with their own strength, but even so, there was nothing they could do about their will to protect Shaolin and meet their end.
Also, since the place is home to not only Shaolin but also the last stronghold of the Central Plains, the chances of winning were not completely zero.
Even Cheonma would know that, so there was a high chance that he would not bother to attack Shaolin.
“Urgent news! Urgent news!”
While each of them was preparing for the final battle, Cheonhwa, who had swallowed Sacheon whole, was heading to Gansu to break the back of the Demonic Cult and bring out Cheonma.
At that time, Haomen sent an urgent report with a thousand-level mark.
“Hmm, is it finally stuck?”
Even before opening it, Cheonhwa had a gut feeling.
It is said that Cheonma and the remaining elite of the Murim Alliance have finally joined forces.
I don’t like the fact that he didn’t call me until the end, and I also don’t like the fact that Cheonma chose to confront the Murim Alliance head-on instead of my side, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Because Cheonma chose to attack head-on rather than break free from isolation.
That’s why I honestly hoped Cheonma would win.
Cheonma was the enemy of his parents, and he did not want to leave his revenge in the hands of others.
The reason why they didn’t attack him right away was because of strategic judgment, but honestly, it didn’t seem like Cheonma, who had fought both Taegeuk Sword Master and Plum Blossom Sword Master at the same time and even led Plum Blossom Sword Master to his death, would be defeated by them.
At least, it seemed like a natural result if the leader had mastered the Cheonmasamgeom to a slightly higher level.
“……what’s this?”
So, I opened the letter with a secret expectation and it contained shocking content that I had never expected.
Shin Seung’s death
There was news that Shin Seung, who was thought to be at least unbeatable even when fighting Cheonma, had been killed.
