Descent of the Demon God

Chapter 169: Blade God Six Martial Clan (2)

Chapter 169: Blade God Six Martial Clan (2)

Swoosh!

An unidentifiable form was traversing at an unfathomable speed as it turned opaque. The movement didn’t slow as it passed right through obstacles in front of it.

‘Why am I being used like this?’

It was Shakena, flying low as her purple hair was fluttering. There was a smartphone in her hand, and although she couldn't use it because she didn’t know the programmed language, she knew which button to press.

‘With Master’s pace, it won’t take too long.’

She predicted that Chun Yeowun would return while they were at war. The moment she pressed the button on the phone, she turned to return to the site.

‘Master?’

She felt his presence as her gaze was directed to the site in front of the Yongchun Group.

“Demon God!!!”

The old man’s blue eyes trembled. After many years had passed, people’s faces and land locations were blurred but the memories of Chun Yeowun’s face were clear in his head.

“Ho-oh.”

Chun Yeowun was interested in that reaction. As soon as his face was seen, someone in the modern era called him Demon God, which most people in this time did not know about.

“You know me?”

When Chun Yeowun asked, the old man smiled with joy.

“Yes, I know! How can I forget that abominable face?”

Hate was displayed with each word, gleaming with sincerity as well.

“How long can you hold on for?”

Pal!

Geum Seong-ryong infused his hand with Blade Energy and struck Chun Yeowun on his shoulder with great force.

Crack!

He wasn’t able to cut Chun Yeowun’s shoulder; on the contrary, the Blade Energy couldn't dig into the shoulder and stopped with sparks.

‘What kind of power is this?’

When he was unable to make a scratch on his opponent, Geum Seong-ryong couldn't hide his embarrassment. Chun Yeowun then spoke to him as if he were disappointed,

“If you were the current leader of Blade Six, you must be the Blade Lord, but it seems like you aren't as good as him, the one that Blade God set as his substitute.”

“W-what?”

“That means that there’s no place for you here.”

Puck!

As soon as he said that, Chun Yeowun’s fist slammed into his chest, and the moment it made contact, the sound of bones being crushed resonated.

Crack!

“Kuaaak!”

Papapak!

Men wearing black masks held onto Geum Seong-ryong as he flew back, but they too were moved back because of the force.

‘Stop! Stop!’

Geum Seong-ryong tried to stop his motion, but he couldn’t stop the momentum and kept flying back. Then, he suddenly stopped.

Pak!

Someone caught him. Geum Seong-ryong raised his head, which was bleeding profusely by now,

“Il-ryeong?”

The one who stopped his movement was an old man called Il-ryeong who seemed unable to move without his wheelchair.

“T-thank–”

Pal!

“Euk!”

Il-ryeong threw the man who was thanking him to the ground. Il-ryeong looked down at him as if he was pathetic and said,

“You are tarnishing the prestige of this clan.”

“I apologize.”

It was difficult to speak with his crushed breastbone, and he didn’t raise his head in shame. He never fathomed their abilities to differ by this much. The old man named Il-ryeong looked at Chun Yeowun and said,

“All of you aren’t strong enough to deal with the Demon God.”

Chun Yeowun’s eyes lit up at those words.

‘His body moves well for his age.’

In Chun Yeowun’s eyes, the old man was severely aging, and moving was definitely hurting his body. However, his ability to swiftly like water was amazing seeing his age.

“Who are you?”

Chun Yeowun was curious about him. The unique energy felt from this old man reminded him of someone.

‘Blade God.’

Their energy had the same feeling, but Chun Yeowun was sure that he killed the man. This axis of time leading to the future all happened after Chun Yeowun had already killed Blade God.

“I see that you don’t remember me.”

“I’ve never met you.”

At Chun Yeowun’s words, the old man laughed.

“Kuahahahahaha!”

Even the masked men who were at his side covered their ears to avoid the energy leaking out of his voice.

“Kuak!”

“I’m Il-ryeong!”

The old man was smiling as he looked at Chun Yeowun.

“Well I haven’t seen you in over a thousand years, so it could be because those who live forever will forget others, but I will never forget you!”

The man’s form moved, appearing right before Chun Yeowun.

Slash!

The old man’s hands were empty but he simply needed to use his Invisible Blade to attack. Chun Yeowun turned around and created an Invisible Sword to block the attack.

Clang!

Il-ryeong was only using an invisible weapon made of internal energy, but when their weapons collided, a sharp sound rang out. What was more surprising was that the aftermath of the collision caused the land to crack and wind to blow everywhere.

“Euk!”

“Ack!”

The masked men were thrown to the floor from the strong winds. As the invisible weapons clashed, the old man said,

“This will be different from the past.”

“What?”

He spoke as if he had fought before, but Chun Yeowun had no memory of this old man.

‘Haven’t seen me for a thousand years? Nano, do you have any idea who this man is?’

He asked just in case, since his mind wasn’t able to recall him. Since Nano was an AI and supercomputer, he thought it could find something at least.

[Beginning the search.]

Chun Yeowun’s pupils trembled and the augmented reality activated. As the augmented reality showed an analysis of the old man’s face, he said,

“Back then, I didn’t deal with you with my true power, but I’m not exaggerating when I say that now, a thousand years later, I’ve surpassed you!”

Crack!

The old man’s forearm began to transform, and the transformation spread to the upper body parts as his clothes were torn, revealing his body to be full of muscles.

“Huah!”

Chang!

Surprisingly, the old man was able to deflect Chun Yeowun’s Invisible Sword. Chun Yeowun quickly changed the path of the sword and tried blocking the counterattack.

Kaaak! Kwang!

Chun Yeowun’s feet sank into the ground from the power of the Invisible Blade. The floor was dented in a 10 meter radius with cracks everywhere, and Chun Yeowun’s body dug into the floor until his waist. However, the old man’s attack wasn’t done yet.

“Let me show you the true essence of the Blade God Six Martial clan!”

The blade swung towards Chun Yeowun unleashing the Seventh Form of the Blade of Eight Mountains.

Chachachacha!

The old man branched into eight afterimages, each with explosive power that all gathered for Chun Yeowun.

‘Ha!’

Chun Yeowun was surprised. The technique that the man was performing was quite different from what he knew about the techniques of Blade God Six Martial clan, as they were much more advanced than those in the past.

“Interesting.”

Chun Yeowun’s body, which was dug into the ground, rose up. While in that state, his Invisible Sword created displayed his splendid swordsmanship as the 24 Demon Swords were interlocked in a complex form.

‘Sword God Waterfall Rain.’

It was the third form of the Sword Art of the Demon God, Sword God Waterfall Rain. In this era, for the first time Chun Yeowun unleashed the Sword Art of the Demon God, which was made by combining the Sword Force of the Sky Demon and the Extreme Art of the Blade God.

Chachachaca!

Two strong warriors collided and the people around moved back. The people of Blade Six, who had already retreated 50 meters outside, were shocked.

“W-what kind of confrontation is this!”

Slash!

“Kuak!”

One masked man was cut in half because of the force. There were situations where arms and legs were also cut off by the force.

“M-Move further back!”

“Move!”

The confrontation wasn’t at a level that they could decide and watch. They all knew that death was in their footsteps if they wanted to watch this. However, came the voice of someone.

[While this old man is dealing with him, you people take care of the remnants of the Demonic Cult.]

It was sent to not one, but all the people at the same time. And then all knew who sent it, Il-ryeong.

‘Amazing. In the middle of a battle, he is guiding us.’

The masked men couldn’t help but be marveled at it.

“Haa. Haaa… everyone heard it, right!”

Geum Seong-ryong, who suffered from internal injuries, asked.

“Yes!”

Except for the four who were there to guard him, the others tried to enter the site of the Yongchun Group.

Clash! Clash!

At that moment, countless Ice Swords appeared in the air.

“T-this!”

They were surprised that Ice swords formed. Geum Seong-ryong who saw it mumbled.

“That… Sky Flash!”

He heard everything he could from Il-ryeong about Chun Yeowun. The sight of being able to handle so many different techniques.

‘A monster. He is doing this while dealing with Il-ryeong?’

Chun Yeowun was still in battle. But in the midst he reached out his hand and unfolded this one.

“Sky Flash!”

Il-ryeong too recognized it. There was strong anger in his eyes as he looked at it.

“Who let you take your eyes off me?”

Chun Yeowun sarcastically asked the old man and then clenched his hand. At that moment, numerous Ice Swords came out.

Papapang!

It was then. Il-ryeong had slashed his Invisible Blade to the floor.

Push!

“Huh!”

Along with a sound, a change occurred in the ground. As if the ground was going to explode, it suddenly shook and rose up.

Jkukuku!

A lot of rocks came up, but that wasn’t all. A lightning bolt flashed from the rocks.

Papapak!

Like a shield, the Ice Swords were blocked. If it was normal rocks they would penetrate it and hit the targets, but the rocks had Thunder Qi around it.

“H-he stopped it!”

“Il-ryeong has stopped it!”

“Woah!”

The masked men cheered for him.

Chun Yeowun’s eye lit up. It was the first time anyone had properly blocked his Sky Flash. And even more shocking was.

“You… have taken the energy of all five spirits.”

The energy emanating from the old man's body could only come out by taking the energy of the Five Spirit Beasts. The combination of Earth Qi and Thunder Qi just before was also the same. The old man named Il-ryeong smiled as he said.

“Did you think that for all these thousand years I was messing around? You aren’t the only one who can handle the energy of the Five Spirit Beasts.”

Puck!

Flames soared from the Invisible Blade. And the flames drew the trajectory aiming to kill Chun Yeowun. Everything the flaming Invisible Blade touched was burnt.

Chang!

Chun Yeowun, who was blocking it said,

“Is that so? Then stop this.”

Phat!

Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand.

Tickle!

“Puat!”

The old man grabbed his chest and spit out blood as he bounced back. It was Chun Yeowun's Heart Sword that aimed at his heart. The Heart Sword, which unfolded with the determination to kill at once, seemed to have dealt a huge blow to the old man, and his body continued to be pushed away.

Tatatak!

And at some point, the feet stopped. And the man bowed his head. Perhaps because of the pain lodged in him, he trembled as he held the chest and,

Jjjkkk!

A sharp energy flowed out of the floor where the old man stood, causing cracks. Countless energies were raging around. And when Chun Yeowun saw it, he couldn’t help but feel amazed.

“Did you take out… the Heart Sword?”

The energy flowing out from the feet of the old man was the Heart Sword’s energy. The old man, holding his head down and grabbing his chest, looked at Chun Yeowun with sharp glare.

‘This!’

Chun Yeowun stretched out his hand. And the cracks in the floor right between the two made a pounding sound.

Clash!

Invisible energy was flowing through the cracks. This phenomenon was unknown. It was because the will of the two collided. The old man lowered his hand from his chest and said,

“Did you think that you alone were the Heavenly Master?”

Right.

What the old man tried to send through the ground was the Heart Blade. Not only did he absorb the energy of the Five Spirit Beasts but was also able to use the Heart Blade. It meant that he was the 6th Heavenly Master warrior in the history of Murim.

“It has been a thousand years. With the sole intention of taking revenge on you, this man has studied everything about you.”

“Studied about me?”

“Whether it be unification of energy or Sky Flash, the Heart Sword and more. Try anything.”

It seemed crazy, but the words were nonsense.

Tang!

The old man pounded on his chest and shouted.

“What do you think these wounds are? Traces of dealing with you with the images of the thousand years!”

“Image?”

For many years, he thought about Chun Yeowun fighting him. The Demon God with greatest ability. He stood in front of the old man with his strongest form.

“I know you are still hiding a couple things. Demon God.”

The old man looked at Chun Yeowun’s sword. He remembered it, the ferocious energy which was able to stop the energies of the spirits and even the regeneration of Blade God too.

“Try to do everything. I will give you the worst despair that you will never forget.”

With those words, the old man pointed to the Yongchun Group. It wasn’t for Chun Yeowun, but the masked men who were watching them.

‘He must concentrate.’

It was to distract Chun Yeowun. The opponent was a monster known to be the strongest since the history of Murim, so the old man decided to take him down by using all means and methods.

Woong!

Another energy gathered in the old man's flaming Invisible Blade. It was the energy holding all five spirit energies.

“The Five Elements… Blade?”

The five energies flowed brilliantly on the Invisible Blade. It was to prove that this old man was definitely a Heavenly Master.

Tatak!

In the meantime, the masked men moved and climbed over the rocks reaching for the Yongchun site. The old man took his stance.

“Let’s see the end. There has to be only one Heavenly Master who survives today…”

At that moment, Chun Yeowun raised his hand towards the sky, seeing that Il-ryeong clicked his tongue.

“Foolish idiot. You should know that Sky Flash doesn't work…”

Cutting his words, Chun Yeowun said,

“It seems like you made some great progress, but… you. But do you think that Heavenly Master is the end of martial arts?”

Crack!

At that moment, Chun Yeowun grabbed the empty space and tore it apart. A foreign energy rose in the air around.

Wooong!

And the sky began to distort.

‘This… what is this!?’

The old man gulped as he looked at the sky looking all bizarre. As the distorted sky turned turbid, a strong tornado struck. To the bewildered man, Chun Yeowun said.

“Did you see this image of me when training?”
