Episode 370 Be glorious under the feet of the Heavenly Demon (5)
“Extermination?”
“That’s right.”
Dam Sa-young’s face hardened.
“I’ll ask you again. “Are you saying that beyond being devastated, everyone was completely massacred?”
“It is said that none of the Elder Tao Jeong-gyeong, the Three Ring Demon Swordsmen, the 100 masters sent from Meng, and the 200 troops sent from Iron Blood Fortress survived.”
“haha.”
A hollow laugh leaked from Dam Sa-young’s mouth.
These were troops sent to guess the enemy’s force and intentions. I didn’t send it intentionally, but I also didn’t send it to someone who didn’t know what to do. Even the troops sent from Iron Blood Castle were formidable.
But all those troops evaporated.
“What is the enemy’s damage?”
“That’s it…”
Gong Yachi’s face showed honest embarrassment. It was the first time Dam Sa-yeong saw Gong Ya-chi’s expression like this.
“It’s absolutely nothing.”
“what? Managing Director?”
“yes.”
“Are you saying there was no loss to the troops that were with the Demon Cult Lord?”
“That’s right.”
Only then did Dam Sa-young’s face take on a serious look.
“How can that be? Even if the Heavenly Demon Army, the strongest of the Demonic Cult, came forward, there wouldn’t be any damage at all, right?”
As the level of martial arts learned deepens, the difference between one move becomes more extreme. It may be a difference that can never be won, or it may be a difference that turns the game around with even the slightest mistake.
However, if it is a fight between groups, it is a different story. Even if the troops accompanying the Demon Cultist were the Heavenly Demon Army, the masters sent from Mengseong were not easy. If you were risking your life, it was normal to suffer even a little damage.
then?
“You mean they pushed it away with overwhelming force? So much so that there is no room to escape?”
Yes. There is no choice but to interpret it that way.
But no matter how much you think about it, that doesn’t make sense. Because such a thing cannot happen.
“Were there any traces of fire?”
“There was none.”
“Or what about memorization or poison?”
“There was none of that either.”
“Then doesn’t that make even more sense? Could it be that the troops accompanying the Demon Cultist are the legendary jiangshi?”
“I can’t say for sure about that either.”
The existence of jiangshi itself is a legend, close to a myth. The magistrates have always said that one day, a being called a jiangshi, an impregnable monster that steals the soul from a person’s body, will appear in the world.
But that was impossible. You can deceive people with magic, but how can you move a body that has lost its soul?
It was a shocking report that made me think of such absurd thoughts.
“But there is a strange rumor.”
“Something?”
“Of course it won’t be Jiangxi. No matter how great the divine or demonic cults are, I think it is impossible. “One…”
A slight hesitation appeared on Gong Yachi’s face.
A subtle change that no one can easily notice. However, Dam Sa-yeong read Gong Ya-chi’s emotions like lightning.
“They say they crossed the river…”
Damsayoung smiled faintly. It was a slightly creepy smile because it was not a situation where laughter could come out.
“Why did you cross the river?”
“It’s not accurate, but it is said that the Demon Emperor riding on Ma Jyoju flew through the air, and the troops following him walked into the river on their own and came out on the other side.”
Those were words that instantly took away my smile.
“Are you saying they crossed the river naked?”
“That’s right. So their northward speed is beyond imagination. It is said that it is breaking through the midfield vertically while maintaining a constant speed, and that it crosses mountains, rivers, and any other terrain features that block its path without avoiding them.”
Dam Sa-young was speechless.
I understand why Gong Yachi hesitated. The statement that they all crossed the river on foot made more sense than the information that they had slaughtered over three hundred musketeers.
“What are the odds of it being true?”
“There is no guarantee at this time.”
I can’t guarantee.
However, given Gong Yachi’s personality, there was no way he would just say such nonsense. It must be information that has its own truth.
“Hehe, unless it’s a immortal or a jiangshi…”
At that moment, Dam Sa-young’s eyes sparkled.
“Right. “I guess we can make it like that.”
“yes?”
“How many sources of information can Hao Wen currently use? “I’m thinking of spreading the information throughout the central region.”
It was a little surprising, but Gong Yachi answered immediately.
“Oh, it’s okay.”
“Let them know that Lord Ma is leading the Jiangxi unit and heading north.”
Gong Yachi’s eyes wavered.
“Are you talking about the Jiangxi unit?”
“That’s right. We’ll have to keep our informants under strict control. This information should not come from Hao Wen. “Of course, it cannot be information that comes from the Uicheon Alliance.”
An insidious shadow appeared in Dam Sa-young’s eyes.
“I wonder how they will react.”
* * *
Lee Cheon-sang thought. It’s truly been a long time.
About 20 years ago, he washed away the evil that reached its peak and reached a state where he did not lose his soul consciousness even after leaving his body. And he had never dreamed since he reached that level. No, I barely even got to sleep, which is the core of life’s activities.
A dream that has been twenty years in the making.
It was such an ambiguous dream that I was clearly aware that I was dreaming, but I couldn’t tell what was being shown.
‘It’s faster than I thought.’
It’s been so long since you came to Joongwon, but you’re already getting closer to being a person.
Isn’t it truly ironic? When you move to get what you want, that damn sky always creates a side road to guide you. And it was still the same now.
It has been almost 30 years since the external activities of Protestantism were banned in order to take control of the world.
As he expected, the political factions split and the Sa faction rallied. The political faction, which was normal only when it came together through consensus, and the political faction, which was marred by betrayal and distrust and had to be dispersed, each forgot their true nature and became weak.
It was a fascinating feast.
It was a situation where all one had to do was to lightly trample on the Sa faction and kill the Jeong faction one by one to stop the seeds. If he had been twenty years ago, before he ascended to the level of a god, he would have certainly done so.
However, heaven opened a way for him to ascend to a new level of light. Lee Cheon-sang had no choice but to take that path.
‘That’s disgusting.’
His desire for the world was as hot as a volcano. He wanted to make Shingyo the sun of martial arts by achieving the first world of magic since the First Heavenly Demon.
It was a desire that he had no choice but to have as a religious leader and demon. It was a dream and a destiny that he had to fulfill after surviving a struggle more hellish than hell.
Actually, heaven did not allow it.
Because I knew how great a storm Lee Cheon-sang’s one step would cause in the central plains world.
Because he knew that his desire could reach beyond the central plains and beyond, as well as the islands beyond the sea.
Knowing that the world would become hell in the process, heaven restrained and tempted him.
And although he reached the peak of demonism, he could not escape the temptation because he was clearly a man.
Even after reaching heaven, I didn’t know it right away. I just wanted to become infinitely deeper and infinitely higher, and I actually tried to make it happen.
A world of mythology and mythology.
After walking the path of God for over ten years, he realized that he had ended up in a place he should not have climbed.
I realized that I had entered a state close to the nirvana of Buddhism, the exorcism of the soul.
‘If everyone knows this, they’ll be shocked.’
People would not dare to imagine that such a huge desire led them down the path to enlightenment.
Also, if you have reached nirvana, you will not try to stop the soul from escaping from the body like you did.
‘It’s been a really difficult road.’
The power to see through the truth of the world at a glance and play with providence.
Once I gained that power, my attachment to the world disappeared. No, rather, I wanted to quickly reach the sky and become a bright light.
It has already been more than ten years since I endured such temptation and coercion.
At that time, I thought that it was impossible to raise a successor and entrust the magic dream to him and ascend to heaven.
Just then, I met a new disciple.
He met a being who was his disciple, but was not his disciple, and who made him realize that he was human even though he had reached heaven.
He was surprised and disappointed when he saw the guy, and at times he admired and was even moved.
And the moment his blurred humanity became clear again, he was able to escape the temptation of breaking away from the flesh without much effort.
“Is that so?”
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.
Before I knew it, my disciple was standing in front of a desolate cliff.
“Somehow it didn’t seem like a person.”
Lee Cheon-sang smiled.
“How was your trip to Jungwon?”
“You’ve seen everything, right?”
“I saw it all.”
“Then you see. “It was just gorgeous.”
Seo-ryang said with a chuckle.
Lee Cheon-sang’s smile also became deeper.
“Aren’t you surprised?”
“What?”
“I appeared in your subconscious.”
“Of course I was surprised. I didn’t know that something like that was possible. After all, you are the one who makes new soldiers with your inner skills.”
“It looks much lighter.”
“I lost some weight.”
“I say this because I feel like all my resentment has been resolved.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“As you see.”
Lee Cheon-sang’s expression became kind. The corners of his eyes were wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes looked unusually good for someone called a demon god.
After a while.
“Do what you want to do.”
“You too, the leader.”
“I’m sorry.”
“yes? “What do you mean?”
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Seo-ryang intently.
“If you think about it, you have never called me master in front of me. To you, I have always been just a religious leader.”
“You became very disgusted after not seeing each other. “Why are you whining like a child?”
“The language is profane.”
“Who would you have learned it from? “I learned everything from Master.”
“When did I do that…”
At that moment, Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes widened.
Seoryang’s smiling body gradually became blurred.
“Don’t overdo it. “I’m leaving now.”
Flash!
Lee Cheon-sang opened his eyes.
‘…It was a tickling dream.’
At the same time, I felt a group of people approaching from ten miles away.
It was a group full of all kinds of negative energy, including tension, anger, fear, and life.
Surprisingly, there was a cilantro in it that was comparable to the old Great Mazon. There were about 1,000 warriors following behind them, but they were nothing more than inconsequential bastards. Seeing that the currents of truth were different, it seemed like the power of small and medium-sized schools of thought had gathered together.
About 1,000 Murim people.
In a world so vast that it was hard to tell where the end was, 1,000 martial artists were a small number. Would it take up a space the size of a finger in a human body?
But it’s been a while. How could a force of that size block his path?
Grumble.
The Demon Emperor’s insignia opened left and right.
Whoa!
There was a master from far away approaching at breakneck speed.
‘Fire.’
After a while, a woman stopped in front of twenty commanders of the Cheonma Army.
Lee Cheon-sang could see that the woman’s face was colored with shock. I wanted to get closer, but my thoughts seemed to stop as I saw half a line that should not exist in the world.
‘Who is it.’
The moment I had a question, I heard the answer.
“Is it Chu Rong?”
Zhou Yongwu (????).
She was the new female master who rose to the rank of teenage master after the death of King Cheon Ha-jin.
Zhu Yongmuhu asked in a trembling voice.
“Ma Demon Cultist?!”
“….”
“How can you….”
“I know.”
Although it was quite a distance away, Lee Cheon-sang’s voice softly penetrated her ears.
“I know how you feel.”
“What?”
“But if you stand before me with an impure heart, I will not just send you away.”
Lee Cheon-sang stretched out his hand to the side.
Slurp.
A dazzling treasured sword with a golden dragon symbol engraved on its body was held in his hand.
‘It’s truly the first sword I’ve held in a long time.’
Lee Cheon-sang, who was looking down at the slender sword body, swung his sword carelessly.
I literally just swung it. When the sword was lightly struck in the air, no waves of true energy, no flow of air, no murderous intent or even any sense of death were felt.
Zhou Yongwu was shocked.
what? What have you done?
Slurp.
Li Cheon-sang, who had put back the Demon Emperor’s Treasure Sword, looked down at Zhou Yongwu with bored eyes.
“As long as my body is tied to the earth, I will remain a devil until the end.”
Slurp.
“ah?!”
The red line started from the forehead, went down the chin and nose, and reached the local area.
Zhu Yongwu, who was dazed, looked down at his chest with a blank face.
and.
Fuwaaaaak!
Zhu Yongwuhu’s body was split vertically.
Fuuuuuuu! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Her torn body exploded and was soon engulfed in black flames. As the blazing flames disappeared in an instant, only a skeleton split in half was left in its place.
Lee Cheon-sang turned his head.
His expression, which did not even raise an eyebrow as if he was not impressed at all, was one of fear itself.
“Clean it up.”
The demons of the Heavenly Demon Army all bowed their heads.
“Dominion Holy Teaching! “Heavenly Demon and Immortal!”
A thousand warriors gathered together using their cooperation as a weapon to stop the Demon Cultist who is said to be leading the Gangsi unit and heading north.
They didn’t even dare to raise their heads and scattered.
