My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness

Chapter 330

? Heavenly Horse (1) ?

A man in long black clothes looks down while floating in the air, wrapped in the wind.

Although he only appeared to be in his thirties on the outside, Cheonma of the time was already an active figure even thirty years before that.

‘I can’t believe such a monster came forward like this.’

Everyone’s bodies became stiff.

Master Mujin, the head priest of the Shaolin Temple, was a strong man who was an expert in Hyeonjing and considered the highest leader in the martial arts faction.

But the fact that he was defeated by the Heavenly Demon…

“…hehehe. As I get older, I think my body isn’t as good as it used to be. “It’s all because we don’t have enough people.”

Pushseok-

But fortunately, an old monk covered in dust and ruining the ruins of the collapsed Buddhist temple slowly walked out.

Of course, compared to the opponent who didn’t seem to have any significant damage, his performance wasn’t that good.

He adjusted his tattered monk’s robe with one hand, glanced at his right arm, which was cut off below the elbow, and responded calmly, putting his left hand together.

“More than that, it seems like the Heavenly Demon Lord has become stronger than before. “I guess you ate something healthy.”

“Huh—yeah, I ate something really good. Thanks to you, it feels like I’m flying. “If you want, I can share it with you too?”

“I am grateful to Amitabha Buddha for his offering, but I will decline. Even though I am like this, since I am a follower of Buddhism, I cannot practice in a way that is beyond the standard.”

“That’s a shame. You deserve it. “If you change your mind, please let me know at any time.”

The tone of conversation between them was very friendly, but no one present took it at face value.

Every time a word was spoken, as if it were a thorn, the tension rose up, as if walking on a knife edge.

The Cheonma raised the corners of her mouth as she leisurely looked at her surroundings, as if enjoying such a rigid atmosphere.

It was the first full-fledged launch of a doctrine that had been forced to hold its breath for so long.

I am naturally satisfied that such an event is being held so successfully.

‘This trend can never be reversed. Now, there is no one left in this world who can stand in front of this doctrine… hmm?’

However, his smile as he glanced at the tension and fear of the political faction’s henchmen as if appreciating them did not last long.

His arrogant expression, which had always been relaxed, suddenly became stiff.

“…What are you?”

The cold voice that came from his mouth resonated softly as if it would freeze everything.

Those who were very nervous raised their weapons, but the Heavenly Demon’s eyes did not move and remained fixed in one place.

‘Oh, I knew it would be like this. Even though I paid extra attention this time, it still looks like this.’

I turned to Hugo, who was breaking out in a cold sweat but trying his best to avoid eye contact.

Of course, the other person didn’t pay any attention to his efforts.

“Why—why are you still in this world?”

A word filled with unknown emotions.

The problem was that it wasn’t just a simple expression of emotion.

‘Wow, this is…!’

I can feel your gaze.

That was all, but the surrounding air weighed down on him like a piece of metal, and the senses in his entire body began to malfunction.

My sense of perspective was disrupted, my sense of balance was distorted, and my brain activity suddenly stopped.

Of course, his ability to think was not limited to just one terminal entity called Hugo, so his consciousness itself was not interrupted, but it was inevitable that he lost control of his body because of it.

‘…I can’t believe the Heavenly Demon was like this. If it’s at this level…’

Indeed, there was a reason why Ambassador Mujin, who was also a member of the Hyeonggyeong, was helplessly pushed aside.

If this were to happen, Hugo, who had not yet reached the border, would not have dared to put up any resistance.

All he can do is hope for the other person’s mercy.

In the end, I was wondering if I should cancel the summons even now.

“Huh—!”

Suddenly, as fresh air poured into his lungs, he realized that his senses, which had collapsed, were beginning to return to normal.

Along with the fact that he wasn’t breathing during that time.

‘…That’s terrible. Even though I didn’t use any special internal energy, I can’t believe that I can bring a person to this point with just will. ‘If it’s the peak, it’s not that low.’

Then, trying to catch his breath, he raised his head and saw the hem of the monk’s robes fluttering before his eyes, and he realized how he had come to his senses.

Before he knew it, the head of the Shaolin Temple, who had been a little distance away just a moment ago, was blocking his path.

“Hehehe Heavenly Demon Lord. “You’re being very mischievous with your junior who is still young.”

“Get out of the way.”

“Amitabha Buddha, do you really want to see it through to the end? “If we keep clashing like this, it won’t be good for either of us.”

“I can’t say it in words.”

The Heavenly Demon’s cold, frozen expression subtly distorted.

Perhaps Hugo’s existence meant more to him than he thought, and unlike his first appearance, his reaction was so sensitive that it felt a little excessive.

“Great Lord of Fukuma.”

“The Second Coming of the Heavenly Demon, Manmaangbok!” “Colonel Jang Cheol-ik of the Black Riding Horse Army is here!”

Scream!

At his name, a huge black man with black chains wrapped around his body stepped forward and bowed down loudly on the floor.

He was one of the demonic cultists who had already arrived here and were surrounding him.

“Don’t let anyone escape from here. Especially that guy over there, you can’t miss it. “I want to ask you something, so leave only your ears and mouth alone.”

“Jonmyeong! “I will follow your solemn command!”

Cheonma, who had given orders directly to the troops under his command, including the master of the flower world, twisted the corner of his mouth as he looked at Hugo, who was still hiding behind Shinseung.

It was a mockery so heavy and dark that it was completely incomprehensible to those who suffered it.

‘Oh, this is a big deal.’

Hugo, who received the attention of not only the demonic cultists but also the political faction warriors around him, smiled awkwardly.

No matter how much he likes attention, this kind of one-sided obsession is something he doesn’t want…

‘I can’t help it.’

He let out a small sigh as he tightened his grip on the sword once again in preparation for the soon-to-be-swarming enemies.

It seemed like I needed to hurry up a bit.

***

Near the mountain gate of Shaolin Temple.

Chaeaeang!

Sword Saint Namgung-woo frowned and glared at the one-eyed old man who crossed swords with him.

A black sword engraved with the image of a ghost that is not at all defeated by his powerful sword.

The owner was Yeo Mun-cheol, the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, who was active at the same time as him and was one of the absolute masters who reached the level of Hyeon-gyeong and a member of the Heavenly Demon God Religion.

“Hehehe. You’re old, Namgoong Woo. “Is it just this much?”

“Huh, it seems like it was only yesterday that you lost an eye and ran away, but you speak well, Yeo Mun-cheol. “It’s like you’re being arrogant with the power you’ve built up unfairly.”

“Wow, that’s funny. “Are you saying that because you probably ate more elixirs instead of rice since you were young?”

“Don’t treat this innocent person’s vital energy and elixir the same way!”

“What’s different? “Isn’t that also a strength gained through outside help?”

Chaeng –

They were active at the same time, had the same main weapon, and had similar talents and levels, but they had already clashed several times in the past.

The end result of the fight was a decision victory for Namgoong Woo, who lost one of his eyes…

Now that they have clashed for the first time in almost twenty years, things are different.

‘You’ve really made up your mind so far.’

Sword Saint’s expression hardened at the heavy repulsion force coming from his hand.

Right now, Shinseung was holding down the Heavenly Demon by himself, but he already knew that it wouldn’t last long.

Because he also felt the monster’s incredible power firsthand.

However, I couldn’t just leave the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor alone, so I planned to kill him quickly and join him while Shin Seung grabbed the Heavenly Demon and held on as long as possible….

“You can’t believe I was thinking of something else. “I guess there’s still room.”

“Tsk!”

The strength of the opponent was beyond what was expected.

In the current situation, it is simply impossible to reach a conclusion in a short period of time.

If we tried too hard, we would be the first to suffer.

Geomseong gritted his teeth.

Of course, I was worried about other people as well, but more than anything, I was worried about my grandson and granddaughter who were still left over there, so I couldn’t stand it.

These children came all the way to this place, believing only in themselves. What kind of disgrace is this?

“Hehehe—you’re out of concentration, Namgoong-woo. Should we take one eye first?”

In that atmosphere, as the offensive went back and forth, the swordsman’s strength began to deteriorate little by little.

Even if you fight seriously, you can’t guarantee a win, so there’s no way you can fight properly while your mind is in a bean field.

As his hands and feet slowly became disheveled and his defeat deepened.

“Oops, excuse me for a second!”

An uninvited guest that no one expected.

He suddenly barged into the fight.

“…!”

“What?!”

No matter how focused they were on each other, they were masters of the police in name and reality.

The moment an unidentified person infiltrated the area in the blink of an eye, they reacted immediately and moved according to their individual tendencies.

The Sword Saint took a step back, strengthened his defenses, and assessed the situation. The Demon Sword Demon Emperor immediately swung a sharp force at the opponent.

So that whoever the opponent is, he can immediately suffocate them.

“…Ugh! “How dare you wield something so dangerous at such a dangerous person!”

And those evil hands ended up hurting the feelings of someone who was just trying to pass by peacefully.

A man known as a great warrior cannot just sit idly by and watch such senseless violence!

Guguguguguk—

but it wasn’t like I did anything special even though I didn’t have time.

I just clenched my fist with all my might and slammed it into the attack flying in my face.

Of course, that alone was definitely effective.

Kwaaaaang—!

“Ugh?!”

For an instant, the Demon Sword Demon Emperor’s expression became distorted.

At the moment of impact, an enormous amount of pressure was pushed into his hand, which was holding the handle of the sword.

The sudden shock exceeded my expectations and I even suffered some internal injuries.

It was never good news for him.

‘It’s an ignorant level of physical force. Even though I was as shocked as I could, was this still the case?’

He widened the distance by using the repulsion immediately after the collision and then properly held the sword again.

It was part of an effort to watch out for the opponent’s follow-up hit and respond immediately, but in reality, the opponent only glanced at him once.

He happened to catch the eye of a car that was bothering him and gave him a punch, but this wasn’t what was important to him right now.

It was enough to come back and solve the problem here later.

“This was a fun fight, but I got in the way for no reason! I’m sorry! “I’ll just pass by, so don’t worry about it and just keep doing what you’re doing!”

“Is that old man really a sword saint? Then, the one who fights him is… a black, one-eyed sword. Ghost Sword Demon Emperor? Then, in the back…”

“How long are you going to stay there, buddy? “Come quickly!”

And he forcibly led the man who was lounging and muttering to himself behind him, waved his hand sheepishly at the two old men who were wary of him, and then turned away without hesitation.

It’s literally as if he was just briefly blocking the path he was passing by.

“…what?”

“……”

However, not only the Sword Saint but also the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor, who had just collided with an uninvited guest once, could not move carelessly.

Despite his funny appearance, that monster had extremely outstanding skills, so dealing with him would inevitably reveal many loopholes.

And the enemy in front of me now would never miss such a gap.

‘Who on earth is this? I’ve never heard of a monster with that kind of appearance.’

Geomseong, who had not yet heard rumors about the new Gwangma, expressed doubt.

Looking at the reaction of the Ghost Sword Demon Emperor in front of me, I could guess that he was not a member of the Demonic Cult, but for a person who suddenly appeared, his level was too high.

However, the thoughts floating around in the Demon Sword Demon Emperor’s head were different.

‘…Gwangma and the monster impersonating him. How are they here? What did the military do when they said they would take care of it themselves?’

It was a little late for me to remember it because I only heard it in passing.

Of course, with the big event just around the corner, it was partly because I overlooked gossip that wasn’t worth much attention to, but when the people involved showed up like this, I couldn’t help but feel upset.

‘For what reason did you two come here? ‘Those guys probably don’t have much to do with the martial arts faction, right?’

The existing Gwangma was a figure between the four political factions who did not belong to any faction, and if we were to strictly consider his actions, he could be said to be closer to the Sa faction.

The monster impersonating him didn’t seem to be much different…

But that subtle atmosphere lasted only for a moment.

Quickly coming to their senses, they erased those who had already passed from their minds and looked at each other again.

and-.

Cheaeng—! Chang! Kwaaaang—!

After a short break, the fierce fight began again.

The most important task given to them now was to defeat the opponent in front of them.
