Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 519 The First in the World (3)

Dan Lihu’s face, which had always maintained an expressionless expression, gradually became distorted.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

The Demon Cult members all deviated from the norm.

It was the same for the religious leader and the religious leader’s guard.

‘If the Demon Cultist truly intends to kill Master, it is difficult to guarantee that even Master will survive.’

If it were a one-on-one match, Ma Gyoju might actually be pushed out. He had no doubt that Master’s power exceeded that of a heavenly demon.

However, if the Demonic Cult’s Great Protection Act is also involved, the story is different. Even if his martial arts skills in Daehobeop are lower than the two, he is also an expert in extreme magic. He is the possessor of force that can change the course of the war.

If things continue like this, Master is in danger. And if Master dies, the repercussions will be enormous.

The leader dies at the main camp, not anywhere else. If this fact becomes known, our troops will suffer a fatal blow.

Grumbling.

Ma Dong-pil, who created the blood-red wall, did not waver an inch in his eyes.

I have no regrets about my own death. There was no fear of death to be found.

‘Risk your life….’ Death

appeared in Dan Lihu’s eyes.

The opponent risked his life for his leader. It was a natural action for a subordinate before the Demon Clan Master was a god.

And he couldn’t do it. This was because there were too many things to measure.

But not anymore. Even if it meant drastically reducing our military power, we had to find a leader.

“Focus all of the Seventy-Two Noble Demons’ magic power on me…”

It was then.

Pot!

The flames covering all directions were extinguished in an instant.

Shoot.

At the same time, raindrops started pouring. The cold rainwater cooled the hot air and created thick steam.

Dan Lihu frowned.

‘what?’

Sigh!

Ma Dong-pil, who had drawn the Black Blood Demon Sword, had even unleashed the Earth Fire Dragon God. Looking at his pale complexion, it seemed like he had suffered internal injuries from excessive use of magic attacks.

However, his posture did not waver. It was a feeling of admiration.

Dan Lihu opened his mouth.

“What are you trying to do?”

Slurp.

In the meantime, they even use lead swords. It was an action that showed a lack of will to fight.

‘what? ‘Is this something you believe in?’

I tried spreading the energy, but nothing caught on. Only the residual magic of the earthly deterioration wall was felt, and no intent to kill or attack was detected.

‘Opportunity…’

For now, it would be better to suppress the opponent and observe the situation.

Dan Lihu raised his hand.

“Suppress the enemy.”

It was then.

Phew.

Dan Lihu trembled for a moment.

It sent shivers down my spine. Goosebumps rose from the tips of my toes and spread throughout my body.

My heart is pounding.

My heart was beating like crazy.

Take a look. Take a look.

The sound of footsteps hitting the rain-soaked ground was particularly loud.

Flash!

Silent lightning tore through the air.

Dan Lihu looked up at the person passing right next to him.

Whoa.

It’s a huge size. Wearing tattered war cloths and carrying a yam-like sword resting on his shoulder, he showed the majesty of a general who returned from annihilating the enemy army.

Don’t even look in this direction. Of course, he was focusing his eyes only on the place where his feet reached, as if he was going his own way.

It was as if I had become a citizen who was so sick of the tiger’s murder that I could not move. In fact, Seoryang’s presence as he passed by was as harsh and majestic as a tiger.

‘Heavenly Demon…!’

After passing Dan Lihu, Xu Liang opened his mouth.

“What about your body?”

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head.

“it’s okay.”

“Good job.”

That one word was everything. Seo-ryang, who even passed by Ma Dong-pil, went down the mountain, followed by Ma Dong-pil and Mudam.

The one Heavenly Demon and two Demons who were discussing invincibility disappeared from sight in an instant, to the point of meaninglessness.

“Huh! Huh!”

“Cough! Cough!”

More than half of the seventy-two people had difficulty breathing. The closer people were to the place where Xi Liang passed, the more heavily their breathing was.

Dan Lihu swallowed his saliva.

‘I didn’t know.’

I couldn’t feel the energy of the Heavenly Demon. Even though I was extremely sensitive, I couldn’t read it.

Only now did he realize.

The demonic power of Xiliang, heated up by the extreme battle, was so enormous that it was beyond even Dan Lihu’s cognitive abilities. That’s why I didn’t feel it. It was a misunderstanding.

Even though the world had turned into a fiery pit, it was as if I was relieved that I couldn’t see it.

‘this…!’

When Seoryang arrived at the front of the trail at Mt. Wudang, his prayers were very stable, unlike before. It was clear that he was a master like no other in the world, but I was deeply disappointed in his prayers, which were more neat than before.

Afterwards, I confirmed that the Heavenly Demon’s martial arts skills had not regressed as I watched the Demon Cultist and Master climbing up the mountain path at an incredible speed. Ma Jiao-ju was no different from when he lost one of his arms in the past. It was as strong as it was then, and it was as fierce as it was then.

And now Dan Lihu realizes.

The Heavenly Demon has become stronger than before. He was truly invincible, to the point where even if Master brought out the Heavenly Dragon’s secret technique, victory or defeat could not be guaranteed.

Now, he can’t even reach the foot with his strength. No, I may have just realized that it was like that before.

What is important is that the other person is capable of being called the best person in the world and is worthy of being called the best person in the world.

“…Are you okay?”

Dan Lihu asked the invisible Dam Siyoung.

“Is it okay if I don’t kill that monster now, Master?”

* * *

Crumbling.

King Tiger put his head on Seoliang’s chest as if he was having a hard time.

“It’s heavy, man.”

Seoliang continued to stroke King Hu’s head. The Tiger King opened his mouth wide and lightly bit his shoulder. The fangs, which were thicker than a human forearm, gently pressed against Seoryang’s skin and then fell.

A guy with a body the size of a house does the same things as a cat. Seoliang pressed King Tiger’s head to calm him down and then looked at Joo Seo-yoon.

“Nothing happened, right?”

“yes.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

Joo Seo-yoon’s expression was somehow soft. He looked comfortable.

“The sword is crying.”

Joo Seo-yoon raised his sword.

A faint light was fluttering from the sword body. It was a refreshing energy that made my heart feel refreshed just by looking at it.

Even though they were Seongi, there was no harm to them as they had mastered magic arts. Here was the logic of the water play class, how to embrace even demonic energy, which reached its peak.

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

“It’s an old ship.”

“Yes, I’m your grandfather.”

Joo Seo-yoon, looking at Mt. Wudang, smiled as if she was genuinely happy.

“Grandpa was protecting us.”

“I see.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“I don’t know when, but if the fight heats up, we may have to attack Wudang Mountain.”

“yes.”

“When that moment comes, I will send you to Wudang Mountain.”

Joo Seo-yoon nodded.

“I can’t help but hope.”

They say they have no worries even though they don’t know what kind of fight will break out.

It’s not reckless, it’s knowing. The bond between herself and Hyeoncheonjinin has not yet been broken.

As long as Hyeoncheonjinin’s enlightenment is with her, at least nothing will happen to her in Wudang Mountain.

Xu Liang nodded.

“Until then, you must at least become strong enough to take on the Shaolin master here. Just trying isn’t enough. You must do that. I won’t let you go unless you get to that level.”

“Do not worry.”

It was a conversation that could have felt rude. But Hye-sim stared at the two without any agitation.

They were the ones qualified to have this conversation. They were qualified to use the martial arts of the Shaolin masters as a measure of enlightenment.

Hyesim asked.

“Are you done?”

“okay.”

“How was it, my opponent?”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I can’t tell where it will end. But I think I can handle it.”

Hyesim nodded.

That’s enough. Moreover, this fight was not a simple fight to see who was stronger among the leaders. It is a war that will decide the fate of the entire Central Plains.

He can handle it both as a personal martial artist and as the head of a large organization. That was Seo-ryang’s answer.

If he is, then so be it.

“Too bad. I was hoping you would kill him here.”

“If Dam Sa-young dies, they will fall into chaos. It may be good for now, but then all the people living north of the Yangtze River will live a hellish life.”

“….”

“Even if that weren’t the case, he wasn’t an opponent I could easily settle down with. Besides, I have people here as well. It wasn’t a situation worth gambling on carelessly.”

Hyesim sighed.

“How can I not know that? It’s just that I’m frustrated.”

“I understand.”

Xi Liang climbed onto King Hu’s back.

“We will return like this. Where will you be heading?”

Hyesim said as she gave a half-funeral.

“Now that I’m an ordinary person, there’s no place in the world I can’t go to. I’m thinking of stabilizing the public sentiment until a big fight breaks out.”

“That’s not a bad choice either. I hope you stay healthy.”

“I hope your path is filled with light.”

“That sounds funny.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“The person who stands at the opposite end of the Buddha whom you follow with all your heart is Cheonma. It is difficult to be happy in the position of Cheonma.”

“Still, I hope you enjoy it. After all, the Heavenly Demon is also the one who completed Buddha.”

“…I’ve never thought about it that way.”

Seoliang tapped King Hu on the back.

The Tiger turned around and moved to the lead.

“do not die.”

So Seoryang and his party went back the way they came.

Hye-sim, who saw their backs moving away, let out a soft displeasure.

“You are already Buddha.”

On that day, the meeting between Yeomramaje Seoryang, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Church, and Dam Sa-yeong, the former leader of Uicheon and the head of the imperial palace, held everyone living in the central plains breathless.

People who were in the same place that day knew that the two absolutes were comparing their martial skills to each other. Also, one of the peaks of Wudang Mountain was greatly damaged due to the ‘light’ rain.

Such was the fight between those who reached the peak of the martial arts world of the time. The Murim people did not hesitate to express their anger, saying that the fight at that time was a contest between a heavenly god and a demon god.

But those wiser than him realized. There really isn’t much left now.

I had no doubt that no matter who won, the world would be filled with fear and madness. I couldn’t help but worry when I realized that countless people would die, including innocent civilians.

There was a thicker war cloud than ever before.

The overflowing air of chaos made even the Black Island gang and bandits hold their breath.

Even if you don’t understand it with your head, you know it with your heart. If they move hastily, a war could break out in their territory.

Is that why? Rather, the civilians enjoyed the brief peace given to them in the eye of the typhoon.

Twenty days after the conversation between Seo-ryang and Dam Sa-yeong.

Hoyoseong was directly displayed at the gate of the outer castle of the Heavenly Demon God Church. Behind them, most of the leaders of the Protestant Church were lined up.

After a while.

“The Holy Ghost is coming!”

Ho Yo-seong knelt down on the spot.

At the same time, everyone knelt down.

“Dominion sex! Heavenly demon immortal! The ugly children of demons have an audience with the Holy Spirit!”

Xu Liang smiled faintly.

“I’m hungry. Let’s make a nice meal.”
