Episode 271 There is no destination for demons (1) Song Geum

-baek chuckled as he watched the carriage moving away.

“What a reckless guy.”

Huang Kun took a step forward.

“He is a dangerous person.”

“Is there a martial arts person in the world who is not dangerous?”

“Of course it is.”

“Well, as you said, it’s been a while since I’ve seen a warrior as impressive as that. “I don’t think he will ever do anything rash… but

it also seems like he might make an overly unconventional move.”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes deepened.

“What a strange guy. I don’t feel like the bowl is particularly big, but there are aspects that make it difficult to treat it carelessly.

“Should I call it majesty or a particularly outstanding presence?”

A bit of surprise appeared on Huang Kun’s face.

Is there a corner that is difficult to treat carelessly? These were words that were difficult to come out of the mouth of the Iron Blood Lord, known as the Lord of Sapa.

“Did you feel it too?”

“What do you mean?”

“I came here to see the leader of the Demonic Cult. But at some point, I started treating him not as a small religious leader, but as an extremely ordinary human being burning with hatred.”

“….”

“That’s why it’s scary. They say there is no one as easy to deal with as someone who only sees one path, but there are people like that in the world.

“I think perhaps that overwhelming sense of purpose is what made him who he is today.”

Song Zheng Baek looked back at Hwan Ya.

“How was it?”

“You are rude.”

An uncomfortable look appeared on Hwanya’s face.

“But I have to admit what needs to be admitted. “So Jyoju’s martial skills are far superior to mine.”

“It’s not that much.”

“yes?”

A seriousness appeared on Zheng Zhengbaek’s face.

“I can say without a doubt that he is one step above Musang.”

“…!!”

“It may be difficult to make a simple comparison because the magic and sailors are different, but even the current King Biyo feels like he will be punished if he makes a mistake.

If I had to name a person who could definitely defeat that guy based on his nature, even if I searched all over the world, I would not be able to name more than three, including myself. Of course, you will have to actually fight to find out.”

Astonishment appeared on Hwanya’s face.

I could tell as soon as I saw him that the leader of the Demonic Cult was a master of extreme demonism. The shock I felt back then has still not resolved.

But I thought it was just that. Although he has reached the top of the pole, he is not at the level of being named one of the world’s top ten masters.

However, his teacher’s evaluation far exceeded his expectations.

“At that age… is that possible?

“Didn’t you say

that for an expert at the beginning of the Hwajing to grow to the level of a teenage expert, it is as difficult and takes a long time as it is for a warrior who has just picked up a sword to reach the Hwajing ?”

“right.”

“…!”

“That’s why that guy is so great. A martial artist of that level at a young age is a talent unprecedented in history. “The Demon Cultist truly raised a monster.”

A look of boredom appeared on Hwanya’s face.

The desire to win can only be cherished if the level of comparison is possible to some extent.

If it was difficult to compete with a teenage expert at the age of less than 30, it meant that in just five years, he would become the best in the world.

“From now on, the landscape of the martial arts world will change because of that reckless guy.”

This is a guy who won’t be disappointed no matter how much praise you shower on him. Even as a person who had seen all kinds of talented people for decades, this was the type of talent he had never seen before.

‘but.’

Huan Ya saw talent, and Huang Kun saw character.

The remittance bag was different.

He was able to see through the unknown magic that Seoliang possessed even before his talent and temperament.

‘He’s obviously weaker than me. It’s clumsy and sometimes even rough. Flexible corners were hard to find. And yet…’

Song Zhengbaek’s eyes sparkled.

‘It was as if I was seeing him.’

Before ascending to the position of governor of the castle.

A demon I encountered for the first and last time when I was called a promising late-season exponent of the Iron Blood Castle.

The shadow of the heartless devil, who had awakened to extreme demonism at the age of less than 40 and ruled as the new god of the Heavenly Demon Church, enveloped Seoryang.

‘If the regime hasn’t changed yet, he will still be the head of the Demonic Cult. Then that guy must be his disciple too.’

Zhong Zhenbaek shook his head.

‘The teacher and the disciple. The priest is equally a monster.’

He turned around.

“Let’s go back now. “There must be a lot of work to do.”

* * *

“Whoa, you’re having a hard time.”

Aenghwa, who had been watching secretly, carefully handed him a water bottle.

“Master Xiao. This…”

“Huh? “Uh, thank you.”

Seoryang gulped down the water and fell limp again. He looked listless, like someone who had just come from a life-or-death struggle.

Yeo Sang-rin asked curiously.

“Why are you so down?”

“of course. Because I faced such a monster. “It would be better to pull out a sword and fight, that’s really not worth doing.”

“We only had a little conversation?”

“It may have seemed like just a sharp conversation to you, but there was a fierce battle of energy going on inside.”

“Hey.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

‘He is truly a great man who can’t let down his guard.’

Even when you burst out laughing, when you look at someone slyly, or even at the moment when you pass the conversation off as if it were a joke.

The energy of Zheng Zheng Baek was constantly beating on Xioliang. They kept sharply piercing the intangible barrier surrounded by true energy, as if trying to delve into his essence.

It was not a simple martial arts competition.

The refined energy of the Absolute, who had reached a level several levels higher, was poking through any gaps, so I

had no choice but to do my best to block it somehow.

If that energy had infiltrated, Xioliang’s mid- to long-term battle would have been greatly shaken. Your thinking may not have been working properly and you may have had trouble controlling your emotions.

That was the power of Sanggeumbaek, who was called Suraje, a person who had reached the state of heavenly righteousness.

‘Honestly, at that moment… I was more scared than the old man.’

It was not a question of martial arts, but a question of character.

The energy of greed that seeks to get what it wants, even if it means digging persistently and, if it doesn’t work, tearing it to shreds.

That is the remittance bag. It was clear that if he truly wanted something, he would do anything to achieve his goal.

Even if the whole world is on fire.

‘The reason I felt a certain sense of kinship was probably because of that aspect of the Iron Blood Castle Lord.’

Xu Liang closed his eyes.

Fatigue suddenly hit me like a flood.

“I’m going to take a nap. “Don’t wake me up.”

“Please.”

Before even hearing the word ‘yo’, Seoryang fell asleep. This was because the mental fatigue that had accumulated over the years came all at once.

How long has it been?

Xu Liang frowned and opened his eyes.

“Keueuung.”

I feel a slight tingling in my stomach. After turning his neck this way and that and twirling his shoulders a few times, Seoryang suddenly realized that there was no one in the carriage.

‘The carriage has stopped? ‘Is everyone resting?’

He opened the carriage door and went out.

‘huh?’

The place where the carriage stopped was a dense forest.

There are huge trees everywhere and green leaves everywhere. This was the first time I had seen such a strong and dense forest in Seoryang.

No, by the way.

“Where have all these gone?”

Ma Dong-pil, Yeo Sang-rin, and Aenghwa were nowhere to be seen.

Beyond being invisible, I couldn’t even feel it. Moreover, the horses pulling the carriage were nowhere to be seen.

Seo-ryang’s eyebrows naturally furrowed.

“Wherever you go, leave a letter saying you’re going. “It’s dangerous.”

Seoryang, who had been mumbling unconsciously, suddenly looked down at the wheels of the carriage.

‘uh?’

He looked towards the rear wheel.

‘what? ‘Why aren’t there any ruts?’

weird.

No, if you think about it, there can’t be wheel tracks in the first place.

It was not a forest that could accommodate a carriage of this size in the first place, as it was densely covered with large trees that had taken root uncontrollably.

A strange feeling of anxiety.

Ugh.

The demonic energy surged from Seo-ryang’s body. When it sensed a crisis, the reigning Demon Emperor’s Qi was automatically activated.

It was then.

‘omg!’

Finally, the presence of three people was felt.

To be exact… I could feel their morale.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

In an instant, it flies to the place where the fraud resides. As I moved forward, destroying the large trees that blocked my path, I soon reached a place where fraud was prevalent.

“…!!”

Shock appeared on Seo-ryang’s face.

My eyes became bloodshot and my complexion became pale. My hands were shaking and my hair was twitching uncontrollably.

“…Hey.”

Each step was filled with distrust and fear.

“hey! Dongpil! Cherry blossoms! “Lina!”

A terrible scene unfolded before Seoryang’s eyes as he rushed out, throwing away the tree branches that were blocking his view.

Wow! Wow!

Hundreds and thousands of flying insects were infesting the area. In a place infested with insects, there were the bodies of Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin and Aenghwa.

It was a horror that cannot be described, with three corpses with tattered limbs and internal organs spilling out.

It was a sight that even Seo-ryang, who had seen countless corpses, instantly felt chills down her spine.

“Hey guys!!”

He ran like crazy and waved his hands wildly. The insects scattered in all directions and then attached themselves to the corpse and Seoryang’s body again.

“Dongpil! Dongpil!! “Wake up, man!”

It doesn’t matter whether bugs stick to the body or not. Urgent hands shook Ma Dong-pil’s body roughly.

“You bastard! What are you doing all of a sudden?! Come on!”

Tuk!

Ma Dong-pil’s head fell off and rolled on the ground. The body was in such a state of decomposition that it could easily be broken by even touching it.

It was the same for Aenghwa and Yeosangrin. As soon as you touch the bodies of the two women, the flesh falls off. Half of the rotted face was already a gray skeleton.

Bloody tears flowed from Seo-ryang’s eyes.

“Aaaah!!”

It was then.

Toouk!

Someone grabbed Seo-ryang’s wrist.

I was surprised and turned my head to see Lee Cheon-sang there, smiling like a ghost.

“Can you handle it?”

“omg!”

Surprised, Seoryang took in a scream-like breath and raised his upper body.

“Master Su Xiaoqiao!”

“Ahh! It’s a surprise! What is it all of a sudden?! Are you okay?”

Seoyang took a deep breath. My whole body was soaked with sweat.

Yeo Sang-rin said with a worried face.

“Even if I called you that, you wouldn’t wake up. By the way, where are you hurting? Why are you sweating so much? “He even made a groaning sound.”

“What?”

Seo-ryang lowered his head from looking at Yeo Sang-rin and Cherry Blossoms in a daze and looked down at his own body.

My sweat-soaked top was sticking to me. The shaking hands remained the same.

‘dream?!’

He saw the two women again.

Yeo Sang-rin’s face full of worry, Aeng-hwa’s expression not knowing what to do.

Seoliang let out a deep sigh. My hand automatically went to my forehead.

“It was a dream.”

“aha? You had a nightmare. But why are you having such scary nightmares? “I was shocked and thought I had epilepsy.”

“…What about Dongpil?”

“You’re driving a carriage.”

“I see.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“It’s okay now. don’t worry.”

“How can you really not be worried when someone tells you not to worry when you look like that?”

Seo-ryang did not listen to Yeo Sang-rin’s words.

‘It was too vivid to be a dream.’

Usually, when you wake up, you forget your dream little by little, but it is still vivid.

Seo-ryang reproduced each and every scene from the dream. I don’t know why, but it bothered me.

‘Why did all the kids end up like that? And why did the religious leader appear?’

And crucially.

‘Why did I use the Reign Demon Emperor and not the Old Demon Lord?’

The magic craft he is familiar with is Guyu Demon Craft. Nevertheless, in his dream, he used the reigning Demon Emperor.

‘…Damn, is this just a dream?’

A very uncomfortable dream.

After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly dismissed the nightmare. It was because I thought it was a dream with nothing good to be had in my head.

‘I guess I was tired.’

* * *

Although he still looked tired, there was a smile on Gong Yachi’s face.

“You succeeded. Congratulations.”

“not a big deal. By the way, what’s wrong with your eyes again? “Did you leak me?”

“no. “I just have something to worry about…”

“Take it easy.”

“All right. While we’re at it, let me wrap this up. “May I recommend your next destination?”

“suggestion? That’s good. “Where are you?”

“It’s a place called Gwangmoklim (???).”

“…Gwangmokrim?”

“yes. It is a forest near Gyeongseok Mountain on the border of Anhui and Gangseo, and it is a forest dense with beautiful giant trees. “There’s a heavenly dragon… Lord Xiaojiao?”

Xiliang’s eyes were very bloodshot.
