Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 78



Episode 78 Futility (3)

I remembered the first time I saw Cheon Ha-jin.

While he was ascending as an elder of the Uicheon Alliance, the man who overthrew the previous leader and became the new leader did

not shy away from praising Cheon Ha-jin, calling him an amazing swordsman.

Jeong Il-ryong’s view of the leader was not kind. Because he was a person who received the support of the public to the extent that the Elders’ Council was meaningless.

There was no way it would be good for a beast to suddenly thrust its ass into the throne of power it was ultimately aiming for.

Naturally, my impression of Cheon Ha-jin was also the worst. Because he was a huge help to the leader in getting to his current position.

If he hadn’t eliminated all kinds of political opponents behind his back, he would never have been able to become a leader.

But even if that were not the case, Jeong Il-ryong had no choice but to dislike Cheon Ha-jin.

A guy who didn’t receive much support was suddenly called one of the world’s top ten masters.

It was meaningless whether the actual skills were like that. Jeong Il-ryong hated the fact that the sword of the leader he hated so much was judged to be stronger than his own.

So I applied to Cheonnajimang.

Since I couldn’t kill the leader, I wanted to at least destroy the guy’s limbs.

There was also a feeling that Cheon Ha-jin’s sudden flight might be a secret plan from the leader.

‘He’s definitely dead!’

This guy has become a complete mess after being stabbed by an uncountable number of weapons. He was the one who cut off the guy’s legs, and the last one who ripped out his head was King Biyo.

That’s how King Sal died. More miserable than anyone else, more miserable than anyone else.

But who is this guy that uses the martial arts of the King of Death? Did King Sal raise a successor without anyone knowing?

But isn’t this guy a demon?

Let’s go!

All of the ice that covered Jeong Il-ryong’s body shattered. All of the ice within a radius of the ground he was standing on shattered.

Wooooow.

Powerful energy waves flowed from his body. It was a complete opening of the white lotus energy that I had learned and cultivated throughout my life.

“I will ask you one last question. Your true identity….”

Twaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez!

Jeong Il-ryong’s body hesitated. Before he knew it, he blocked Seoryang’s sword that was approaching.

Seolyang’s eyes were burning red as they flashed in front of his nose. It was a look in his eyes that was difficult to express the level of ferocity no matter what expressions were used.

“I told you to find out my identity with your sword.”

“you!”

“Now all I have to show you is cutting!”

Quang!

Jeong Il-ryong retreated after drinking heavily.

I didn’t intentionally retreat like I did before. He retreated purely because he could not handle the aftereffects of power.

And in the meantime, Seoryang was facing another change.

Hahaha!

The dark red lightning rushed into his body again.

Jeong Il-ryong’s eyes wavered.

Damn it!

A crack like a spiderweb appeared on the ground where Seoyang stepped.

An unusual throbbing occurred in Seoryang’s body, which was curled up as much as possible. The second of the gates of hell built deep underground was about to open.

Wow!

Jeong Il-ryong moved.

It was instinct. I’ve felt ominous omens before, but now it’s different. It seemed like something on a different level was about to come out.

Woooooo!!

A dazzling white brilliance rose from the elastically stretched white crane sword.

If any of the martial arts people had seen this scene, they would have doubted their eyes.

The brilliance rising from the White Crane Sword was not just sword energy. However, it was not at the level where the sword energy was condensed to produce a stronger light.

Pure light itself, with different levels of energy concentration and form. The pinnacle of destruction made with such magic that no one in the world seems able to accept it.

“Die, you bastard!!”

At that moment, Seo-ryang raised his head.

Whoa whoa!

For a moment, Jeong Il-ryong could not contain his astonishment.

The extreme martial arts that he pulled out with all his might created a round hole in the ground. Even if there had been steel there, it would have penetrated without any resistance.

The problem is that the object that Jeong Il-ryong actually intended to drill a hole in was not the ground or steel.

Pabababak!

Jeong Il-ryong, who had released sword dance around his body just in case, looked around. This is because Seoliang’s pretense of popularity was not felt.

‘…?!’

Seoliang was standing in front of a large tree not far away.

‘It was this close?’

But why didn’t I feel any energy? No, it’s normal to at least feel like you’re popular, right?

‘Could it really be the King of Sal’s successor…?’

As he was called the greatest assassin of all time, King Sal’s stealth skills were beyond imagination. Those who escaped the leader’s eyes because of that hiding technique had to live in fear every day.

But why did they use stealth techniques now? Isn’t it too inefficient?

In any case, since you can see it, you must attack it. Jeong Il-ryong, holding the White Crane Sword upright, charged at Seo-ryang once again.

‘…?’

Jeong Il-ryong’s eyes were filled with puzzlement.

‘what? Why are my movements…?’

slow.

Even though it was slow, it was too slow. My limbs felt heavy and it was difficult to breathe, as if I had fallen into water.

‘What kind of harmony is this?!’

My senses were fine, but my body just slowed down. No, it felt like the world slowed down.

Even as I was puzzled, a corner of my head started flashing. My ears were ringing and my heart was tight. An unidentifiable sense of crisis was tickling my stomach.

At that time, Jeong Il-ryong looked into Seo-ryang’s eyes.

Unlike his fiery eyes before, which were burning fiercely, his eyes were now very clear and calm.

It was like seeing a seeker. It was like seeing an unknown prophet who had seen through the laws of heaven.

what? Is the magic hole broken? Or have you given up on living? Did you come to any realization in that short period of time?

fillet!

At that time, the fingernails of Jeong Il-ryong’s left hand, which extended forward, cracked.

Jeong Il-ryong’s mouth dropped open. Only then did I realize why I couldn’t sense his popularity, why the world slowed down, and why his eyes looked so clear.

And the moment of realization.

The energy of an absolute demon swept over Jeong Il-ryong.

Hwaaaaa!!

The white lotus flag swayed wildly like a sailboat hit by waves.

The White Crane Sword, which was moving according to the path of the White Shark Sword, stopped, and the frozen wounds on the upper body burst with a loud pop sound one after another.

‘Unbelievable!’

It was not that Jeong Il-ryong could not feel Seo-ryang’s popularity.

For a moment, the energy wave emitted by Seoyang was so huge that he could not even feel his presence.

The illusion that the world seemed to have slowed down was also a result of movement being controlled by being suppressed by air waves.

And what about Seoliang’s clear eyes?

‘This is ridiculous!’

It wasn’t because I realized something or because I gave up living. This was because all the hidden demonic energy, not only in the blood vessels but also in the veins, was brought out and the dark spirit magic attack was opened once again.

Seoryang’s life was different from before. The change was so dramatic that his eyes seemed clear.

It was the same as feeling a sudden cold when cold air enters the place where the Ultimate Infinite Path swept through.

In this way, Seoliang opened the gates of hell even deeper.

It was the second opening of the Amyeongjin Magic Gong, the magic vision heaven gate ceremony.

Slurp.

Seo-ryang slowly raised his leg and stepped on the ground strongly.

Kwaaaa!!

The ground cracked violently with the explosion.

Quad deuk! Damn it!

The crack in the ground did not stop and headed towards Jeong Il-ryong quickly and violently.

Jeong Il-ryong’s complexion turned pale.

It cannot even be expressed in words such as monster power. I couldn’t even guess how strong the ground would crack if I stepped on it with such force.

“Haaaab!”

Jeong Il-ryong shook off the energy wave from his lower abdomen and moved to the left.

Quad deud deuk!

The crack that continued all the way stopped only after overturning the roots of the giant tree on the other side.

Pusssss.

At the same time, pale smoke rose from a crack in the ground.

Although he could not tell what kind of smoke it was, Jeong Il-ryong praised his judgment for avoiding that smoke.

But he felt reassured too quickly.

Fuuuuuuu!

“Kaaaaak!”

Jeong Il-ryong flew backwards, screaming in pain.

Blood burst out from the nose and mouth. The white crane sword that had somehow been blocked had a crack in it.

Grumble!

At that moment, Jeong Il-ryong once again felt a sense of crisis that sent chills down his spine.

‘bloke!’

The devil has already caught up with him. The murderous sword imbued with terrible demonic energy was struck down with tremendous weight.

Jeong Il-ryong’s body was completely stained white.

Kwaaaaang!

Ildobongsan (一刀崩山).

A mountain can be destroyed with a single slash of a knife. It was truly a blow worthy of such an expression.

“Gasp!”

Jeong Il-ryong, who fortunately avoided the blow, gasped.

The internal injuries I suffered a little while ago were severe, but I suffered severe internal injuries again due to the huge amount of internal energy I used to avoid this attack.

‘Here we come again!’

There is no time to be surprised. Jeong Il-ryong gritted his teeth and raised his white crane sword.

grasp!

Xi Liang ran away.

Jeong Il-ryong, who was nervous and switched his sword to a defensive stance, felt a moment of doubt.

‘What is his condition…?’

His face is pale and his body is drenched in cold sweat. A thin layer of blood was flowing from the nose.

‘this guy! ‘Your martial arts skills are not perfect!’

It was correct.

Seoliang completed the Amyeongjin Demonic Gong, but did not achieve great success. This is the same reason why the best craftsman cannot be called a swordsman even if he swings the sword himself.

Since it is a martial art that he created himself, he knows it better than anyone else, but the process of putting it into practice was never easy.

However, because his enlightenment was high enough to be called a teenage master, he was only able to learn it up to this point in a short period of time. In particular, unlike the first level opening of demonic power, the Underworld Jade Gate Gate Ceremony, the second level opening, the Demonic Gwansangcheonjimun Ceremony

, was a study to

constantly embody the essence of the devil by amplifying the magical power itself .

Of course, it was bound to take a toll on my body.

Blah blah blah!

Jeong Il-ryong vomited blood again, and Seo-ryang also had more nosebleeds.

Although he suffered a loss this time, Jeong Il-ryong was relieved.

‘It’s over now, you bastard!’

The reason he was able to push himself was because of his strange martial arts skills. If both of them had used up the same amount of stamina and strength, it was clear that the one with the higher level of enlightenment would win.

“The good times are gone! “I’ll cut off the limbs of this damned devil!”

“Look at this guy? “Are you going to cut off another limb because I don’t even have a leg?”

“What?”

“But what… do you like it? “I just need to make it that way.”

At that moment, Seo-ryang’s fist dug into Jeong Il-ryong’s side.

Pow!

“Oops!”

In front of Jeong Il-ryong, who shakily retreated, Seo-ryang gasped and raised his sword.

“Do you know why I brought this stupidly large knife?”

Wooooow!

Once again, the magic energy of the shadow magic energy that was frosty on Geodo Island was extremely unstable. It meant that the magic gate that had been forcefully opened was being closed.

But it was more than enough to destroy an old man driven mad by greed.

“If you are at a similar level, it is because I know that your white sword technique is particularly weak against heavy swords.”

“How do you do that…?”

“If you were superior in enlightenment, you would be nothing.”

“…!”

Faaagh!

Seo-ryang’s body was scattered in all directions.

Astonishment appeared on Jeong Il-ryong’s face.

Now I even remember his walking method. Unlike the unnamed Taoist method, all of the leaders of the Uicheon Alliance knew about this magical method.

“Gucheonchukji?!”

“OK!”

bang!

Seo-ryang, who had made Jeong Il-ryong retreat with the Poksangyeong, smiled whitely and raised his sword.

“I’ll cut you into pieces!”

Pow!
