Chapter 95 Pyo Ju (3)
Meanwhile, halfway up Mount Mo, over a dozen martial artists maintained their formation with tense expressions.
Most were Taoists affiliated with the Jiangsu Taoist Sect, commanded by a nun from Botasan’s Botasan Temple.
They believed they could swiftly defeat the evil presence rumored to be on Mount Mo. They assumed that if these were remnants of the Demon Sect, they could not possibly overcome Botam Temple’s profound sword techniques.
But the opponent was not so easily dealt with.
The nun of Botam Temple, Ding Yan, stared at her crushed left hand, overcome with terror.
‘I never heard of such a thing…!’
A dark shadow fell over Jeongyeon’s face.
The self-assurance she’d shown before entering the mountain, the pride of being from Botam Temple—both had long since vanished.
All that remained was fear of the unknown.
Jeongyeon looked around with wavering eyes. She briefly opened her mouth to encourage the monks, but only a groan of pain escaped.
Just then.
“Ah!”
A startled, flustered cry fluttered past her ears. It was the voice of the young Taoist, entrusted with scouting duties because of his sharp eyesight.
Rolling and tumbling.
That was the end of it.
Jeongyeon let out a scream that was almost a shriek.
“Center the void, enter defense!”
At those words, the Taoists suppressed the goosebumps rising on their skin and immediately formed their battle array.
The Fifty-Four Buddha Shadow Gate, said to possess the power to break evil and extinguish demons.
