Chapter 508
Episode 508 Bulgongdaecheon (不共戴天) (8)
Rumbling.
Mt. Wudang covered in morning dew.
But why? A soft sound of thunder echoed from the sky.
The world was getting darker little by little. Huge dark clouds were coming from the south and covering Wudang Mountain at a rapid pace.
The weather has become cooler. The wind became cold. Dark clouds even obscured the sun that was burning in the east.
Does heaven know? The owner of a sorrow that could fill heaven and earth met his enemy.
“It’s just amazing.”
Flash!
Silent lightning illuminated the world for a fleeting moment.
Dam Sa-young’s face glowed white for a moment and then disappeared.
“Actually, I’ve heard countless rumors about you, but it’s also true that they looked down on you. Not only did he become the master of Shinism at a young age, but he also built up martial arts skills comparable to those of me or the Lord of the Iron Blood Castle? “It’s hard for anyone to believe it unless they see it for themselves.”
“….”
“I am sure now. Rather, the rumor has been reduced. “It is almost meaningless to say that this is the greatest monster in history created by the Millennium Demon Island.”
It’s a monster you created.
Seoliang almost said that without even realizing it.
By ruling over the martial God religion that rose to the top of the world, he was able to break away from his past self, which was full of resentment and anger.
However, it seemed that the resentment left behind a trace of resignation. I tried to solve it with my head and chest, but my body was trying to react on its own.
Seo-ryang shook off those thoughts with a smile.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Before I praise you, you should know that I am truly surprised. “It may sound a bit arrogant, but in my entire life, I have only been genuinely surprised by others three times.”
“….”
“As I get older and more experienced, there are no more surprises. But today, new history is being written once again. “It is through you, the leader.”
“Of course, one of those three surprises was thanks to the Sentai sect leader.”
Hehehe!
The wind got stronger.
It is time to enter fall. But even taking that into account, it was too cold and strong. It was like a wave.
The hem of the clothes fluttering like crazy. The sky was laughing at the two people.
“exactly. Gudaecheonma Lee Cheon-sang. “He is the greatest of all times and times, and is simply called the absolute demon god, with a force that cannot be expressed in the language of the Central Plains.”
“….”
“He was the greatest surprise and the worst disaster of my short life. Even if there is an afterlife and I am reborn, there will be no greater surprise than the surprise of seeing him in my previous life.”
Xu Liang smiled.
His smile today will not convey any emotion.
“He is an amazing person.”
“He is truly a great person. “To the point where I feel awkward just calling myself a person.”
Dam Sa-young also smiled.
Unlike Seo-ryang’s, his smile revealed honest emotions. That much would be a surprise to the other person.
“And now, in my eyes, I see the seed of another monster that will one day rise to the level of an absolute demon.”
“exactly?”
“exactly. It really seems that way. “That’s why.”
Flash!
Silent lightning struck again.
The white faces of the two people indifferently crossed the air.
“I’m worried. “I wonder if I can let you go alive.”
Tension appeared on Mudam and Ma Dongpil’s faces.
Xu Liang shook his head.
“If you want to see the Xishan Blood Sea, that’s okay.”
“Hehe, we are bound to collide in the end anyway. I am not assuming defeat, but if that happens, the whole world will burn and disappear. From the looks of it, it doesn’t seem like you are any worse than me, but wouldn’t the world become hell anyway?”
Seo-ryang’s eyes were curved like a crescent moon.
“The world of Saba is already nothing but hell. If it gets worse than this, it wouldn’t be a world where people live. So I have no intention of creating an even greater hell.”
“It’s unexpected. I don’t know if this is a compliment or an insult, but I get the feeling that you and I are very similar. “I thought you would accumulate as much bad karma as me, but I’m surprised.”
compliment? insult?
It was both.
It is difficult to describe in words the feeling of receiving the best evaluation from Marshal Cheolcheon. However, I was both happy and disgusted. So it was a compliment, and so it was an insult.
Xiliang’s smile gradually faded.
“Will our fight go that far? “When one of the two waves the flag of victory, the other will have already disappeared from the face of the earth.”
Dam Sa-young’s smile deepened.
“Yes, that can happen. “It seems like you don’t like leaving behind regrets either.”
“I prefer to sweep away enemy areas without leaving even a single blade of grass behind.”
“Me too.”
The sky was becoming distorted. The earth was sinking.
The two were absolute figures with the power to literally sweep away the world. As these two faced each other, the world seemed tense.
Dam Sa-young, who had been looking at Seoryang for a long time, opened her mouth.
“Is the emperor safe?”
“The students at our school are having a hard time. “He ate so well.”
“Hehe, I am greatly indebted to Yongshinilwongong.”
Damsayoung shook her head with a bitter face.
“That’s why I told my sister. Let’s not use loneliness and send him off in peace. What is the heavenly law and what is the evil order? “If you want to conquer the world, you must have the ruthlessness to cut down even your blood relatives.”
Those were scary words.
From what I heard, it seemed like he had no original intention of poisoning Zhou Qing. It seemed that Dam Si-yeong was planning to kill Zhou Qing and elevate the crown prince as emperor rather than wasting precious money.
And perhaps it was Zhou Tianyang who opposed it.
“The desire to be recognized by everyone. I don’t know that, but I wonder if it really should have been that way. “Whether you take control of the world and then be crowned, or go through the process beforehand and take control of the world, the results will be the same.”
Seo-ryang, who was looking at Dam Sa-yeong, opened his mouth.
“What you said is correct, Master.”
“What do you mean?”
“Master said you are a talent suitable for magic. “You said that if you had chosen magic, you would have become as much of a monster as me.”
Damsayoung burst out laughing.
“Hehehe! Those are really nice words. However, since my potential was recognized by the Absolute Demon, I don’t think I’ve wasted my life. But….”
“….”
“That also sounds like it means that I can’t compare to the leader of the Seo religion.”
Flash! Crumbling!
thud!
It seemed like the lightning struck and shattered a tree. There was a crackling sound and the sound of a fallen tree pushing against a rock.
It was an eerie roar.
“It’s amazing. It seems that the Absolute Demon God had as much pride in his successor as he did in his martial arts skills.”
Seo-ryang grinned.
“I guess so. However, since he was the one who penetrated the providence of the world, I also believed and followed everything he said.”
Dam Sa-young also smiled a similar smile to Seo-ryang.
“You are someone who can show confidence.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“Why did you come here? “Did you really think I couldn’t kill you?”
“You can’t kill me. “Me too.”
“I wonder why. “That’s why I’m so sure.”
“Isn’t it obvious? I have an emperor. And the deal with the emperor is over. If you kill me here, not only will you have to bear the power of our angry church, but you will also remain as an ordinary villain amidst the emperor’s shouts.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay if even an ordinary villain took control of the world?”
“You wouldn’t want to go down in history as such a villain, right?”
The smile disappeared from Dam Sa-young’s face.
I see everything in Seoryang with transparent eyes. Those eyes were as scary as a ghost.
“You are right. In fact, the reason I became the Lord of Uicheon was because I wanted to leave my name in white at the Murim Temple. “I didn’t want it to get even a speck of ink on it.”
“I know.”
“Know? That’s amazing. “It sounds like you analyzed me thoroughly.”
“I have analyzed it sufficiently. “You’re not that difficult of a person.”
“Great distribution. “I was amazed.”
“If you hear compliments too often, you get tired of them.”
“haha! Hehehehe!”
Qarring!
Dam Sa-young looks at the sky and bursts into laughter. Perhaps by coincidence, thunder sounded right then.
It was as if Dam Sa-yeong’s laughter had brought thunder. It was a scary sight.
Dam Sa-young, who had been glowing for a long time, stopped laughing.
“Let’s ask one question.”
“Sure.”
“Where did they hide the royal seal?”
Xu Liang raised his eyes.
“Did you really think I would give you an answer?”
“exactly.”
“Why did you think that?”
“I will not kill you. It won’t be easy, and like you said, I don’t want to have my name splattered with ink. However…”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes returned to the people around her.
“It seems that you care very much for your subordinates. Although I am subordinate, I don’t feel like one at all. “They’re more like comrades in arms.”
Seoliang was not surprised by his opponent’s insight.
I knew better than anyone else that Dam Sa-young had sharp eyes. Moreover, he has become stronger, more cautious, and more vicious than before.
Nothing is surprising. That’s why it’s even more surprising. That’s what the two felt when they saw each other.
“You care about the lives of your subordinates as if you were your own.”
“….”
“This is a type that is difficult for me to understand, but there actually are people like that. “The person I’m seeing right now is that kind of person.”
In Dam Sa-yeong’s eyes, Saihan was young.
“How about we keep you alive and kill everyone else? “Can you tell me the location of the royal seal?”
Seo-ryang, who was looking at Dam Sa-yeong, shook his head.
“Unfortunately, I don’t just have their lives on my back. “I will be infinitely sad, but I cannot tell you where the royal seal is.”
Dam Sa-young’s eyes sparkled.
Seoliang did not say the whereabouts of the royal seal, but rather said where the royal seal was. That meant that the demonic cult had not yet obtained the royal seal.
Damsayoung smiled.
He hid his triumph with that cool smile.
“You are right. “In the first place, I didn’t think you were an easy person enough to tell me the location of the royal seal.”
“Did you provoke me like that?”
“Hey, it’s just a bad habit. It means provoking the other person and understanding their true intentions. “I hope you can just let it go this once.”
Xu Liang grinned.
“He’s strangely different from me in that respect.”
“different? how?”
“I will not leave alone the man who provoked me so recklessly. No matter who the opponent is, you have to tear their mouth apart. “Emperor Zhou Qing almost lost his head trying to help me.”
A slight tension appeared on Dam Sa-young’s face.
“The only time I let it go is when I have something else to gain from him.”
“haha.”
“Now tell me. What can you give me?”
“I thought you said you couldn’t kill me just like I couldn’t kill you?”
“That is correct. That’s true, but that’s because I have a really bad temper. “Isn’t the option of killing him first and thinking about what to do next also fascinating?”
I’m serious. Dam Sa-yeong read the sincerity in Seo-ryang’s words.
Damsayoung bowed her head.
“You disturbed the atmosphere with your useless remarks. “I apologize.”
Xu Liang smiled as if he was satisfied.
“I will gladly accept your apology.”
“Hehehe.”
“I think this is enough of greetings. “Let’s get to the point.”
“That’s right. “I don’t know where to start with the main topic.”
The sky called with dark clouds, but it didn’t dare to make rain pour down.
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
It was a scene that was extremely alienated from reality, as if they would stand there staring at each other for eternity as if they were going to kill each other.
