Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 164

Episode 164 The wind from the North Sea (4)

The fingertips that flashed like lightning were imbued with an evil and murderous spirit. It seemed like it was going to pierce Seo-ryang’s head in one go.

but.

“….”

“….”

Both of them just stayed still with stern expressions.

Yeo Kang-hwi asked.

“Why didn’t you run away?”

“Because there is no need to avoid it.”

“Why? “It was definitely about living.”

“If you live by force, your sincerity will not seep in.”

A smile appeared in Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes.

“That’s amazing. Even if you know that, it is normal for an unmanned person to avoid or block something.”

“Because I don’t like moving inefficiently.”

Xu Liang frowned.

“So, why did you attack so pointlessly when you didn’t really mean to do it?”

Yeo Kang-hwi relaxed his posture and took a dozen steps back without answering.

His eyes became sharp as he looked at Seoliang. The chill in his alluring eyes doubled the eeriness.

He opened his mouth.

“Bing-hon-cheon-gang-su (?????) is one of the five major disciplines of the main palace. “In terms of destructive power, it is comparable to the Hundred Treasures Divine Power of the Shaolin Temple, and in terms of its profundity, it is no less than the Taegeukjin Qi of the Shaman sect.”

“Why did you attack me? Are you talking about something pointless?”

“Now let’s go back in.”

“what the.”

Wooooow.

The spreading chill instantly took over the entire area.

Pusssss.

The weeds rising above the ground were frozen white. The frozen weeds could not withstand the wind and crumbled with a crunching sound.

Hehehe!

A bitter cold wind. A small white bead appeared on top of the flowing white hair. The bead that sparkled like starlight absorbed the surrounding moisture and gradually increased in size.

The sparkling orb was like the brightest star, Polaris. It was a moment when I understood why the word Cheongang (??) was added to Mu-gong-myeong.

“We’re going the right way this time.”

It is the start of an unexpected dance. Seo-ryang’s face darkened.

“Okay. “But this is the last time I see it.”

At first glance, a look of gratitude appeared on Yeo Kang-hwi’s face.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

Listening to Yang Jeong’s words, it was clear that the Three Dukes were demons who had no mercy toward their enemies. Even though he threw out a suggestion, he still continues to accept his complaints. I was extremely grateful.

Suddenly, Seo-ryang got up from his usual bed and held out his hand.

“Come.”

Huh.

Yeo Kang-hwi’s body had already reached Seo-ryang’s nose. It didn’t seem like it was moving very fast, but it got there in the blink of an eye.

Phew.

The beads floating above his head flashed, and Yeo Kang-hwi’s Seomseom Jade was covered in pure white brilliance.

Seo-ryang, who was watching Yeo Kang-hwi’s movements in silence, swung his fist.

‘100 million?!’

Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes widened. Even before he could throw away the Ice Soul Heavenly River’s blow, the opponent’s fist had already dug into his chest.

Qarring!

“Tsk!”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s new brother retreated like crazy.

White smoke rose from his entire body. The chill that had gathered in one place was dissipating at an alarming rate.

‘It’s incredible power!’

The pressure from the iron fist cracked the heavenly sphere. In this state, the true power of Ice Horn Spring Water cannot be extracted.

“It is clear that it is a martial arts equivalent to the Hundred Treasures Divine Fist.”

Yeo Kang-hwi looked at Seo-ryang with trembling eyes.

Seo-ryang raised his fist and tilted his head and said.

“Aren’t your weaknesses too obvious? “The time between casting and attack seems a bit long.”

“….”

“Of course, it is not a defect in the martial arts itself, but it seems to depend on the caster’s level of flexibility.”

Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes fluctuated even more clearly.

“Then, in the eyes of the Three Dukes, what do you think will happen if I perfect this martial art?”

“hmm.”

After thinking for a moment, Seo-ryang lowered his posture.

“Take a good look.”

Slurp.

Xi Liang moved slowly.

Very slow movement. It was like watching Tai Chi practiced by a shaman.

Suddenly, Yeo Kang-hwi’s eyes widened as he looked at Seo-ryang in confusion, wondering if this was some kind of martial arts demonstration.

Tooung!

Even though I did not use my energy or concentrate my strength on my entire body muscles, I heard a sound full of resonance in the air.

“How do you feel?”

“It’s amazing.”

“It’s a martial art called Heavenly Demon’s Lightning Strike that I started learning a while ago. “I’m at the beginner level now, so my power isn’t there, but doesn’t it look like the level is high just by looking at it?”

“yes. “The movements are monotonous, but they clearly embody the principle of suppressing all changes with pure unity.”

“You have a great eye.”

“you’re welcome.”

“The ice spirit feat you performed is similar to this. It is a typical martial art of strong fists that kills change and utilizes destructive power like a fist of strength. The only thing is that the Byeokryeokken focused on one point, and the manual attack focused on spreading the force in all directions.”

“You are correct.”

Seo-ryang pointed to his own blue eyelids.

“It’s a trace of the glory I gained after joining a master of martial arts without any internal strength. The difference in level between that person and me is truly obvious. “Nevertheless, I was defeated in a fight with no internal strength.”

“Ah, so…”

“It means that the level of martial arts itself is excellent. Your handiwork is also like this. Assuming you have mastered that skill, you will not be pushed aside by anyone with similar skills.”

In short, it meant excellent martial arts.

Yeo Kang-hwi lowered his head.

“Thank you for watching.”

“So why did you suddenly show that martial arts skill?”

“I thought that only then would we be able to see one of the Three Confucius’ capitals.”

“huh?”

“Can you show me the martial arts of the Three Confucius in an easy way?”

“I won’t show it. “Because I don’t like moving around unnecessarily.”

“Even if you’re not someone who hates trouble, you won’t show off your martial arts skills easily.”

“I guess so.”

“We need to know how sharp each person’s spear knife is so that we can help each other.”

Seo-ryang’s face hardened.

“Those are meaningful words.”

He goes to the religious leader and asks him to help him, even though he could have done so. I don’t know how the rumors about him were spread, but no matter how you think about it, it’s not an efficient method.

Yeo Kang-hwi said that we can help ‘each other’. It did not mean between the Heavenly Demon Church and the North Sea Ice Palace, but between you and me.

Yeo Kang-hwi continued speaking in a serious voice.

“I want to promote an alliance between Shingyo and Bingung. And….”

“….”

“I and the Three Dukes would also like to form an alliance.”

“…Let’s form an alliance?”

“That’s right.”

“What does that mean?”

“If we pursue an alliance among the small owners who will assume the next presidency, wouldn’t it be advantageous in many ways when controlling the organization in the future?”

For a moment, surprise appeared in Seo-ryang’s eyes.

‘Look at this guy?’

Yes. Yeo Kang-hwi’s real purpose was not simply to rescue his younger brother.

The proposal was to rescue the younger brother and at the same time help each other become leaders of the organization. In other words, it means building a common route.

“The Three Dukes are definitely a great person. However, the next successor has not been designated yet.”

“….”

“I will be your strength. Any kind of power.”

“So I have to help you too?”

“That’s right.”

“Is it an excuse to say you came to save your brother?”

Yeo Kang-hwi shook his head resolutely.

“It doesn’t matter if you reject my offer. Saving my younger brother is more important to me than winning the presidency. “I don’t mind having an evil relationship with the Three Dukes if I can save my younger brother.”

Seoryang thought for a moment.

Soon he nodded.

“The idea is that the two of us will become a bridge to build alliances between each organization and help each other to easily win the next presidential election. “It means that we will lead to a favorable response from public opinion.”

“That’s right.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“That guy has a really hot side despite his appearance.”

It was a different tone from before. It is as if a superior is speaking to a subordinate.

It would have been understandable for the listener to feel offended, but Yeo Kang-hwi showed no such sign at all.

“This is something I hear often.”

“But isn’t it a business where you lose too much? I am the Three Dukes, but you are the Little Palace Lord, right? “I guess he has already been nominated as the next palace lord?”

“Although I have been designated as the next palace lord, there are many people who dislike me.”

“Do you want to clear the air?”

“That’s right.”

“Not doing it on your own?”

“It is also my ability to attract you and eliminate your political opponents.”

“You speak well.”

“Would you like to do just the Three Confucius?”

Xu Liang smiled.

“So instead of going to the religious leader, you called me. “I was planning to join hands and shake things up with the student who is currently the most prominent student on campus.”

Yeo Kang-hwi bowed his head once again.

“I’m sorry for procrastinating until now. However, I needed time to find out who you are. “Please understand.”

“I understand.”

“What are you going to do? Would you like to move forward together?”

“There is one thing I want to check.”

“Please speak.”

Seoliang tilted his head.

“You may not trust me, but I don’t trust you either. “It’s an alliance, as you say, but isn’t it a relationship that may break at any time?”

“So does he.”

“I need a clear notarization, so what do you plan to do?”

Yeo Kang-hwi smiled.

It was a smile so beautiful that it made everyone who saw it dizzy.

“Since ancient times, there have been easy means of concluding alliances between countries.”

Some time after Seoryang left.

“Adventure.”

Yang Jeong walked out of the bamboo forest.

Yeo Kang-hwi greeted him with a grin.

“Are you here?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Yang Jeong sat on the bench.

His expression was quite strange. It may seem like he is impressed, but it also seems like he is dissatisfied with something. The overall face looked distraught.

Yeo Kang-hwi quenched his appetite.

“As expected, you heard everything?”

“uh? Ah… it just happened to be like that.”

“it’s okay. “It is a fact that will become known later anyway.”

“And as I said, we are in a situation where we have withdrawn from the front lines. I only move when I run out of work. I have no intention of doing anything else. “You can’t put it on top.”

Yang Jeong’s eyes hardened.

“But will you be okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s an alliance with the Three Dukes… won’t it be dangerous?”

“You mean it’s dangerous?”

“Isn’t it a unilaterally disadvantageous contract? “What are you going to do if the Three Dukes wipe out your mouth?”

“Haha, senior, you are a demon from Shingyo, but you actually worry about me.”

“A risk! I have never had a single conversation with the Three Dukes. On the other hand, I became acquainted with Lord Sogung.”

Yeo Kang-hwi looked towards the entrance of Gojuk Forest.

The sight of Seoryang’s back, who had long since disappeared, seemed to flash before my eyes.

“I think I understand why the demons of Shingyo look at the Three Dukes with longing eyes.”

“…?”

“He will never break his promise. “He may grumble on the outside, but I’m confident that if he thinks he’s a true ally, he’ll do better than necessary.”

“Is there any reason for you to think so?”

“yes.”

A faint smile appeared on Yeo Kang-hwi’s face.

“I realized that the goal of the Three Dukes was more than winning the next presidency.”

* * *

“Are you here, Master Confucius?”

“uh.”

Seoliang, who was trying to pass Ma Dong-pil, blinked.

“What’s wrong with your face?”

“Ah, this is….”

Ma Dong-pil slightly lowered his head. His left eye also had a black bruise.

Seo-ryang smiled broadly.

“The fox-like man gave me two pairs.”

“….”

“Ask Cherry Blossom to get me an egg.”

“Oh yeah.”

After a while, Seo-ryang came out again dressed neatly.

“Where are you going?”

“huh.”

“I will take you there.”

“It’s okay. You have to wait there anyway.”

“yes?”

Xiliang looked up at the sky.

Dark magic energy shimmered in the black and white clear pupils.

“I have to go see the leader.”

At first glance, dark clouds seemed to be gathering beyond the clear sky.
