Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Special Side Story Episode 16

‘Watch this.’

An unknown warrior shouting and pointing a curved sword at me.

I pursed my lips and let out a laugh at that energetic appearance.

The lord he serves has been ignored, so he must be upset.

But the opponent was not good.

“Do you think you can dare to insult the palace lord and get away with it?”

What the hell.

This Confucius, who has not yet become the lord of the palace, is called the lord of the palace.

The level of loyalty was through the roof.

“It’s an insult. “Is it okay for this Confucius to make unreasonable demands on me, and is it rude for me to refuse them?”

“You have to say it right away. “Rejecting the request itself is not the problem.”

“if?”

“You’re not asking because you don’t know, right? “I’m saying that my way of saying no was not good!”

“I should have turned it down with nice words. “What are you talking about?”

A puzzled look appeared on the Confucius’ face.

He wouldn’t have understood it.

What on earth do I believe in and why do I spread things like this?

It was different from the past when the Murim Alliance delegation visited the Beast Palace.

At the time, the interests of each faction were chaotically intertwined, but now the Beast Palace was completely in the hands of this Confucius.

Although there is an external enemy called Dokgok, the internal bond is firmly established.

‘That means there are no safety measures in place to protect my personal safety.’

This was Namman.

Identity and status in the Jungwon martial arts world had no meaning here.

The reason why the people gathered here pretended to respect me and acted friendly was only because they highly valued my use.

It was nothing more and nothing less.

“I’ll just head back.”

“Where are you going?!”

“I think we’ll have to wait longer to make each other blush.”

“Even if you go, you have to take responsibility for what you say. “You’re just going to leave after raising this sadal?”

“There was something I wanted to say earlier…”

Quang!

I slowly got up from my seat and briefly punched the air with my clenched right hand.

The man’s new body bounced as if it had been hit by a huge rock and dug into the wall of the banquet hall with a loud noise.

“How dare you belittle and question someone? “What kind of confidence do you have?”

The middle class held their breath.

Could it be because something so unexpected really happened?

Everyone had an expression of disbelief at the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The screams of the dancers filled the banquet hall.

‘I can’t be like the demonic cult leader from before.’

I looked down at my slightly trembling right hand and clicked my tongue.

Application of the will-form energy.

I was able to imitate it to some extent, but that was it.

A move performed by the previous Ma Gyoju who appeared in the middle of Cheonnajimang in the past.

Compared to that formidable punch, its power was much lower.

It was something that could not be helped.

Because he and I pursue different martial arts directions.

“What are you doing?”

“Is this the meaning of the Murim Alliance?”

“Suppress the author immediately!”

In the middle of the Beast Palace, violence was inflicted on the warriors under Lee Confucius.

Naturally, a strong response followed, as if a beehive had been invaded.

The so-called powerful men drew their weapons and attacked me.

This Confucius just glared at me with burning eyes and did not stop them.

“Woo Soje.”

“yes.”

“Please stay still and do not move. Otherwise, safety cannot be guaranteed.”

“all right.”

Absolutely! Quick!

White currents splashed in all directions.

The majestic wave spread and quickly filled the entire banquet hall.

“this guy!”

The first person to attack was an old man who was presumed to be an elder of the Beast Palace.

They were dressed in fancy clothes, as if showing off their high status.

Even the sword he was holding in his hand was a luxury product mixed with cold steel.

‘Is it Hwagyeong?’

The prayers that came out were unusual.

If he were a member of the midfielder, he would have easily been ranked among the top 100 masters.

There probably weren’t many warriors in all of Nanman who could compare to him.

It was likely that he was confident in his own abilities.

‘But do you have to attack me so ignorantly to use it?’

To confront a high-ranking expert honestly was not courage, but temerity.

I lightly snapped my fingers without even removing the sword tied to my belt.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

The condensed thunder energy was released and an explosion occurred.

Unable to react to the brain energy sphere formed in front of him, the old man’s new form flew through the air.

From that point on, a full-scale fight began.

“be careful! “The opponent is a master who has reached the absolute level!”

“Spread your camp! “Let’s take out that guy’s power through wheel warfare!”

An encirclement was formed in an instant.

As expected from the elites that the Beast Palace is proud of, their movements were smooth.

The level of each person was significant.

If it were me in the past, I would have felt quite a bit of pressure from their joint venture.

‘There’s no need to look into the situation.’

It didn’t matter to me how much damage the Beast Palace side suffered from this fight.

Even if the roots of the pillars are uprooted and the building collapses, the cleanup will be entirely their responsibility.

Damn it!

The warriors, who had extended their curved swords at the command’s signal, were struck to the ground by something invisible.

Branches of white lightning spread out and attacked them.

“Kaaaaak!”

“Aaaah!”

A scream filled with pain erupted.

The warriors take a step back to avoid the brain energy that is gradually encroaching on their surroundings.

thud!

I tread lightly.

He then pulled his fist back and took a stance.

The first herbivorous Paam Fist of the Byeokryeok Fist (霹靂拳).

Implementing a regime with the might of ten thousand years of power.

The concentrated brain energy drew a spiral and wrapped around my forearm.

A fist that contains my own enlightenment that I previously presented to Emperor Surama.

“no!”

The first person to feel a sense of crisis and express security was the left guard, who stood behind this Confucius and observed the situation.

One of the two methods of protection that assists the lord of the Beast Palace by his side.

The only strong man in Danggeum Namman who can compete with Dokgokju.

As expected from an absolute expert, he was quick-witted.

‘One too late.’

The aftereffects of herbivory hit them faster than the warriors could run away from the attack.

The dragon fist wind blew.

The ground cracked and stone debris flew up.

Warriors falling like leaves in a cold wind.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

Even after destroying one axis of the siege, the remaining force left a huge hole in the wall of the banquet hall.

The eyes of the middle school students widened at the power that transcended common sense.

“Aren’t you going to join in?”

I turned my gaze towards the head table where this Confucius was sitting and asked provocatively.

There was tension on Jwahobeop’s face as he clutched the curved sword at his waist.

The last time I saw him, I was in a state of peace.

Of course, he must have heard the news that I had taken the first seat of the Ten Heavenly Emperors.

Although there is little exchange between South Manchuria and Central Plains, it does not mean that it is non-existent.

However, hearing the story and seeing it with your own eyes had completely different feelings.

Anyway, you probably never expected that I would become this strong.

“Don’t just stand around and join us quickly. “If that side doesn’t participate, the fight itself won’t happen.”

“…….”

plod.

He walked towards me as if he had made up his mind.

This Confucius’ eyes were shaking mercilessly as he looked at his back.

He seemed to have an instinctive sense that something was wrong.

‘I’m sorry, but there is no turning back now.’

With a wild laugh, I pulled out the Geogwol (巨闕) and held it in my hand.

* * *

“stop. “Just stop there.”

“…….”

“You won. I apologize for making unreasonable demands. So, can you stop at this point?”

This Confucius’ voice exudes resignation.

His face was pale and tired, perhaps because of the gruesome scene unfolding before his eyes.

The once spacious and gorgeous space became a mess.

The ground, the walls, and the ceiling.

It was difficult to find a safe place.

Debris fell from the ceiling and landed on the backs of the fallen warriors.

That’s it. That play.

An ominous noise rang out continuously.

As if to hint at the end of the banquet hall, which was in danger of collapsing at any moment.

“Wow! “Wow!”

Jwahobeop, kneeling on one knee, vomited blood.

Using a curved sword inserted into the ground as support, he was barely able to hold on without falling.

Although he fought well as the strongest warrior in South Korea, there was a wall between him and me that could never be overcome.

“I just can’t believe it.”

This Confucius’ shoulders were shaking slightly.

Even after wiping my eyes, I couldn’t find the relaxed appearance from just a moment ago.

Even though dozens of masters representing the Beast Palace attacked at once, they couldn’t do anything to me.

That fact seemed to have come as quite a shock.

“Well, since he’s a monster of this size, he must have been able to take that older brother under his command.”

“There’s nothing you can’t say in front of a person. “What a monster.”

“It is said with reverence, so there is nothing to be offended by.”

“It’s hard to get married once. “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

“Are you sure you really didn’t know?”

“what do you mean.”

“I’m asking whether this situation was intended from the beginning.”

Instead of answering, I drew a suspicious smile on my lips.

As expected of a person who united the Beast Palace, he was quick to judge the situation.

I seemed to realize that I had induced the current situation using my arranged marriage with Woo Hwayeon as bait.

“I should have noticed a little sooner.”

“…….”

“Who would have imagined that there would be a monster that could fight and defeat the entire Beast Palace on its own?”

This Confucius sighs deeply.

After wiping away the fallen warriors, he continued talking as if he was throwing something away.

“No one died during that time. “Did you give me a handshake?”

“Isn’t it precious power? “You can’t lose it in vain like this.”

“You think about cat and mouse. From your point of view, as a Central Plains person, does it benefit you if the Yasu Palace continues to fight over Dokgok and Namman’s hegemony?”

I looked slightly surprised.

I read their intention accurately.

Although he had a strong sinister impression, he was not an ordinary person.

“If I am correct, you will have already achieved the purpose of your visit to the Beast Palace. “Isn’t that right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about earlier.”

This Confucius looks at me with a look of absurdity on my face, with my face covered in blood.

A strange confrontation took place in a short period of time.

It was Confucius who broke the silence and spoke first.

“Are you going to go back to the midfield right away?”

“no. “I plan to listen to the solo song before that.”

“In a solo song?”

“Princess, isn’t Woo Soje’s grandfather there? “I have to come and say hello.”

This Confucius, who was looking at me with a blank expression, couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

He, who was whimpering and laughing as if he had forgotten the current situation, slowly raised his head.

“That’s right.”

As if the life-threatening appearance until now was a lie.

He said with a refreshing smile on his face.

“This is a welcome story.”
