Numerological Stone (2)

 

The time when the Namgong Sega is preparing for a clash with the Sado League·

The warriors of the Southern Heaven Society were also moving cautiously, preparing for battle.

Longam County, Fujian Province

It was one of the counties where the branch of the Apostles was located, and it was the county where the Nachal Witch was most likely to be hiding.

The main reason why I had to talk about "possibility" was because of the Nachal Witch's transfiguration technique.

She always dressed up as someone else, unless she had to show off her skills.

Immediately after the successful encirclement of the surrounding area of Ryongam County.

The current head of the Southern Heavenly Society, Changwang Pai Jinsheng, gave Dao Yuechen a glance and entered the county of Long'am.

Along the way, about half of the warriors entered the county of Ryongam, while the other half remained on the outskirts with Dowolcheon.

If they all invaded together, there was a risk that the Nachal witch dressed as someone else would sneak out.

Just in time, a wagon with a few sand on it left the county, spotted the Namcheonkai warriors blocking the way, and an old man who appeared to be a merchant stepped forward.

"What's the matter?"

He approached the merchant, who was trembling with fear.

"Phew"

As the vice president of the Southern Heavenly Society, it wasn't something he would do himself, but he couldn't help it.

As the Southern Heaven Association was a sectarian alliance, it was a terrible thing to see each of them appear, and their tone and momentum were also fierce.

It wasn't meant to be.

Living in Safa had made him look bad because of the scars on his face and body, and his way of speaking and his momentum had changed in the harsh conditions of his life.

"I'm sorry. There's an enemy here that we need to look for from now on. We must tie him up so he can't escape."

"Shouldn't I pass by then?"

As the merchant says this with a look of urgency, he hears a "wheezing" sound from the surrounding area.

The merchant began to tremble at the sight of the samurai glaring at him with his face crumpled, and Dao Yue Chen sighed.

"I wish I could, but the one we are trying to capture is a master of disguise, and we cannot let him go until we catch him. You seem to be a merchant, and I will compensate you for any financial loss later."

The merchant, who was about to say something, was intimidated by the momentum of the Southern Heavenly Society warriors around him, so he finally gave up and went back to the carriage.

At the sight of the frightened merchant, Dao Yue Chen only sighed deeply inwardly.

No matter how much I chose the path of Safa, it wasn't a very pleasant situation.

However, it was inevitable because he had already been subjected to a similar situation.

"I'm sure I'll catch you this time..."

Thinking of the Nachal Witch, Dao Yue Chen gritted his teeth.

In addition to the Changwang Paijinsheng, who is considered to be on a par with the Nachal Witches, the reason why they couldn't fully push them even though there was a Dao Yue Chen who could compete with the Nachal Witches even if they were a little less than the two.

That's because the Nachal Witch had avoided head-on confrontation and had only induced the fight through guerrilla warfare.

Unlike battles between nations, the battles of Murim are at best dozens-to-dozens. It was a hundred-on-hundred-on-hundred-on

And it had to be a huge group like the Zheng Mu League, the Priesthood, or the Demon Cult to fight thousands of battles.

Considering the ridiculously large land mass of the Central Plains, the number of a few hundred was actually a very small number.

If you decide to run around, you won't be able to find it.

Therefore, battles in Wurim were usually focused on hitting the opponent's stronghold, but the problem was that each other's strongholds were too far away.

The Southern Heavenly Society's stronghold was Guangxi Province, and the Sadao League's stronghold was located in Zhejiang Province.

When the Southern Tiankai passed through Guangdong from Guangxi Province to Fujian, the Nachal Witch would aim for the supply route in between.

As a result, the Southern Heavenly Society's advance was halted between Guangdong and Fujian.

In other words, in order not to be swayed by the Nachal Witch again, he had to catch her in this siege.

"Has it begun?"

There were loud noises and screams coming from inside the county, and I could feel the flow of air waves.

"Be nervous! Who else may the Nachal Witch be disguising herself in!"

"Honor!"

The Southern Heavenly Society's warriors, who had been standing stiffly under Dao Yuechen's instructions, straightened their posture and prepared for battle.

And as the explosions and screams from inside the prefecture intensified, people began to run out of the village.

But the numbers weren't very many.

In the first place, even if there was a ruckus in the village, not many people would flee the village.

Stabbing by the Murim was not common, but it was a common occurrence, and when they did, the common people usually fled to Guan'a or hid in their homes.

Few dared to flee the village they had lived in for generations.

"Buy it, save me!"

When the young woman, who had run away with a completely frightened face, knelt down and begged for the Mujin of the Southern Heavenly Society, Dao Yue Chen approached to calm her down.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you, so you're resting here for now..."

She turned her head to kneel at Doyuechen, who was talking to her.

Her eyes were trembling incessantly, and tears threatened to flow at any moment.

Looking at the sad figure, Dao Yue Chen said.

"You seem to have mastered martial arts?"

“!!”

Before he could finish speaking, she rose from her kneeling position and used the momentum to dig into him.

Closing the distance in an instant, she pulled out her hidden dagger and swung it.

"Whoops..."

Her body collapsed before the dagger touched her body.

Before I knew it, her upper and lower body were neatly separated.

It was a sword that swung so fast that even the martial artists of the Southern Heaven Society who were watching from around him couldn't see it properly.

However, after successfully killing the enemy, he had to hurriedly throw himself into the air instead of putting the sword back in.

Visor!

“컥····”

Starting with her ambush, enemies began to pop up from all corners and attack the uninhabited people of the Southern Heavenly Society.

At the same time·

Bang!!

On the other hand, with a huge explosion, the fifteen unmanned people of the Southern Heaven Society were swept away at once.

And the explosion occurred in the direction of the carriage where the frightened old merchant had just waited.

But there was no longer an old merchant there.

Instead, a woman who appeared to be over fifty rows of women, dressed in the same clothes as the old man, was attacking the warriors of the Western Southern Heavenly Society.

"Catch that!!"

Seeing the appearance of the Nachal Witch, Dao Yue Chen was afraid to cry out, and the warriors of the Southern Heaven Society in the vicinity flew away.

"Grubs like that!!"

Her venomously distorted face and her deafening shrill roar were a fitting part of the word nachal.

She slipped her hand into her sleeve as if she were memorizing it, and as she unfolded it, a silk cloth that would have been worn by a woman spewed out from within the sleeve of her robe.

The sight of him dressed in the clothes of an elderly merchant and wielding a silk cloth that a woman might wear was nothing short of bizarre, but nothing compared to the result.

Bang!!

Spatula!!

The ground on the broad side of the silk burst with a loud thud, and the human flesh against the thin side line of the silk sliced neatly through an eerie sound.

She leapt into the air, spinning her body as if she were dancing, swinging her silk back and forth, and each time she heard a boom and a cutting sound, and the warriors of the Southern Heaven Society were killed in a heap.

"You filthy witch!!"

Someone who was overwhelmed by evil threw a sword into it, ready to die, but when it hit her silk, it bounced off with a 'ting' sound.

Spatula!

And the man who had lost his way was decapitated by silk in vain.

In just a few breaths, she annihilated dozens of warriors around her.

But it was because they bought her time that she was able to get close to her.

Spatula!!

The sneaking sword of the Doyue Heaven produced a cutting sound, but it was not the same as the sound of slicing through human skin.

With the first blow, he only cut the silk instead of the body, and Dao Yue Chen furrowed his eyebrows in regret.

In the same way, when the silk was cut off, the Nachal witch opened her mouth with a sad face.

"Aren't you tired of it?"

"Today will be the last time we meet, so don't get bored."

A sneer appeared on her lips at Dao Yuechen's answer.

"Do you think that what you fail twice will succeed the third time?"

This was already the third time he had faced her.

The first time was when he missed her at Guangdong Jin Street, and the second time was when he opened the siege and missed it, just like this time.

Of course, I felt a little frustrated at the time.

Unlike now, instead of forming a siege, they attacked all at once, so she had escaped to a weak place.

She had already escaped, and Dao Yue Chen chased her later, but she was pushed back after sticking to her alone, and thanks to that, she managed to escape.

At that time, the memory of missing her made her feel the wall.

"Phew"

In order not to repeat the mistake of that time, Dao Yuechen took a deep breath and exclaimed.

"Send a signal to the Lord!!"

Before his cry fell, a series of whistles rang out from nowhere.

This was the reason for the siege in the first place. The role of the encirclement network is to drag out time.

"Hold out until the Huiju comes back and unleashes a pincer attack..."

At the same time, Dao Yuechen recalled the examination given to him by his brother-in-law, Bai Jiahuan.

A survey containing Mujin's advice that I received before coming here today.

There was only one inscription written on it.

[水滴穿石]

Drops of water pierce the rocks·

It is one of the most commonly used phrases when discussing the importance of effort, and it is often mentioned along with Wugong Yi Mountain (愚公移山) and Red Earth Sacred Mountain (積土成山).

'It would mean that you should believe in my efforts.'

Dao Yue Chen steeled himself and dug into the Nachal Witch and unleashed a Divine Soul Island.

After all, the Nachal Witch tried to block the sword of Daoyue Chen with her silk, and the silk was cut off by the sharp black sword of Daoyue Tian.

Spatula!

But in the meantime, she took a step back and drew her fingernails in the air, and Zhao Gang flew towards the Tao Yue River.

Instead of colliding directly with Kangqi, Dao Yue Chen threw himself to the side, and silk flew in all directions.

Spatula!

Spatula!

With a swift swing of the sword, he succeeded in cutting the silk, and the Tao Yue Chen penetrated into her.

Wedge love!

In the melee battle, it was the Nachal Witch wielding her claws stained with strong energy.

Bang!!!

Her fingernails collide with the black sword wielded by Dao Yue Tian, and an explosion erupts.

‘큭····’

Pushed out of his power, he had to swallow his groans in his heart.

He was able to withstand the strength of the Black Sword, but he couldn't get rid of the pain in his wrists and body.

And while the moon spring paused for a very short time.

Wedge love!

Without a doubt, she began to dance and swing silk.

With the movement that was now completely imprinted on his body, Dao Yue Chen unfolded one after another and cut off the silk.

After that, he had to bump into or dodge her and cut through the silk.

Little by little· And as he was steadily being pushed back, such a question popped into his mind.

"Solve it with effort... Is that really advice for me?'

It wasn't my suspicion of Mujin.

For Dowolcheon, Mujin had been no different from his faith since the day he saved his family.

It was a question of self-doubt.

I wonder if the meaning of the numerical stone was just "make an effort." I wonder if I didn't understand enough.

In the meantime, the Nachal Witches' offensive continued.

“큭····”

The moment when the river suddenly lost its balance·

Silk was everywhere and flew at the Tao Yue Heaven.

But it was a completely different attack than before.

"That's the time of year."

I was able to understand the Dowol River that I had already experienced once. That whole silk is full of rivers.

Unlike Jo Kang, who simply pulled out a few extra characters from his fingernails, covering the entire silk with Gang was bound to consume a great deal of internal pain.

'Should I back down?'

Even if Chen Xudo was a recruit, it was impossible for him to cut the silk covered with river qi.

If he had to strike at one point with the black sword, he would be surrounded by the rest of the silk and die.

But if you back down, you'll miss out on the Nachal Witch. Just like last time·

In a split second, countless worries were tormenting Doyuecheon's head.

Somehow, he saw a very small way out in his eyes.

In an instant, the Tao of the Heavenly Heaven that took the ceremony of the Divine Soul Island sliced through the light.

Visor!

As soon as the black sword touched the silk, it bounced out with a sharp metal sound.

No, it didn't bounce off.

The moment when the pottery was eaten by the river· It was a quick retrieval of the Tao.

And at the same time as he retrieved it, Tao Yue Chen let out a black sword again.

Towards the exact spot where I stabbed a moment ago.

Visor!

Visor!

Visor!

Faster than light, the sword struck the same spot one after the other, and only the river that surrounded the area faintly dissipated.

Mu Jin's "Beast Thousand Stones" was not a phrase about effort.

Why water droplets can pierce stones· It was because the water kept falling in exactly the same place.

'Now!'

In a split second, after repeating five or six stabs in the same place, Dao Yue Chen swung the black sword again.

Visor!

The moment they collide with Gangi and pottery again, Kangi, who is already weakened, disperses into nature.

Spatula!!

The black sword of the moon heaven tore the silk and went forward.
