Chapter 335
Episode 335
I stared at the palace floating in the air to my right and muttered.
‘Surprisingly, there’s nothing special.’
I knew that great enlightenment would be required.
I thought a special occasion would be needed.
But the reality was different from what I vaguely imagined.
When I got over the wall, the thought that came to mind was this.
‘Why haven’t I been able to do this before?’
I felt like I was finally able to do what should have been possible.
Four years have already passed since I glimpsed the next level through the fight with the Blood Witch.
We have made various efforts to recreate the feeling of that time.
He used the White Thunder God Technique every day and did not neglect training to improve his ability to use the Lightning Technique.
I delved deeply into all the basics of swordsmanship and martial arts.
In order to expand the range of tactics, I learned various auxiliary martial arts and techniques.
‘Maybe I thought it was too difficult.’
The words I said to Hwang Bo-gak not long ago passed through my mind.
[There is still a long way to go. Only now I can finally look up at the top of the wall.]
I was raising the wall myself.
Even though it was a place I had already been to once before, I hypnotized myself and made it feel far away.
The reason I was able to grow at the moment when I stood at the crossroads of life and death was not because I received a grand enlightenment.
Rather, it was the opposite.
Among the skills I have learned so far, I have narrowed them down to the ones I need to survive right now.
Once the dam burst, various thoughts poured in like a flood.
The feeling of something being blocked being cleared up.
Everything that has been built up so far has been newly established and built.
Be more concise, more efficient, and more practical.
‘Did you say that if you take less, there will be space to fill?’
Stories of heroes who achieved rapid growth in moments of crisis often circulate in the literature.
I could definitely say it.
They were by no means lucky or experienced miracles.
The years of experience accumulated over the years have paid off.
It was the way of the world that opportunities were not given to those who were not prepared.
Quaaaang!
White spheres exploded one after another.
A resounding roar.
The warriors of the Hwangbo family who were watching looked shocked.
The Demon Lord widened the distance between me and retreated.
He calmly counterattacked as if nothing had happened despite the heavy rain of attack attacks, and finally showed his guard against his opponent.
‘Of course, if you want to force a breakthrough, you can do whatever you want. There is no way the cult leader could have been scared at this level. ‘I couldn’t leave Sima Seju’s side for a long time, so I took a step back.’
But even taking that into account, it was clear that victory had arrived on this side.
The flame of hope that seemed like it would go out at any moment began to burn fiercely.
“Big.”
I shook my head to shake off the dizziness and got up on my knees.
He then pulled out the sheath of the sword tied to his waist and held it in his hand.
As the bet was injected, the powerful blade suddenly rose above the scabbard.
At the same time, the palace floating in the air began to shake unstably.
“…….”
I smiled bitterly and calmly used my skills.
Perhaps because it was my first time practicing swordsmanship, the sense of difference was quite significant.
It was not easy to maintain and use the flying sword and the energy sword at the same time.
It seemed like it would take quite some time to become as proficient as a blood-sucking demon or a white bone demon.
‘In a way, it’s natural.’
When I ascended to the level of Hwajing, I adapted quickly because I had experience in my previous life, but this was my first time to the level of Xuanjing.
I was still immature in all aspects.
Fortunately, thanks to my lifelong training in swordsmanship, I was able to perform swordsmanship, albeit unstable.
The method of implementing the false-shaped steel device has not yet been determined.
“Didn’t I tell you that?”
Hwang Bo-gak laughed, shaking the dust off his head.
There was a strange heat in his voice.
“You don’t know what the outcome is until it’s decided.”
He wasn’t an ordinary person either.
Even after being dealt such a blow, his momentum did not diminish at all.
The way they clashed their fists and burned their fighting spirit was so annoying even though they were on the same side.
“Nothing changes.”
After giving a short answer, Ma Gyoju thrust his fist in my direction.
Kukwakwakwa!
A huge wave of demonic energy swept over the entire place where I was standing.
If it were me just a moment ago, it was an attack that would have left me helpless.
However, now that I had reached a certain level, it was possible to stand firmly in place and hold on.
The sheath of the sword raised above the head was lowered in a straight line.
The fourth herbivorous month (斬月).
The sword strike, whose power was amplified through the use of special internal power, cut through the waves.
I strongly kicked off the ground and leapt, firing a sword towards the Demon Cultist and shouting.
“now!”
Hwang Bo-gak rushed forward as if he had been waiting.
Two arrows came out from the bushes and aimed at Sima Xuhuan’s rear.
Fishing lines and memorization embroidered the air.
Wow!
Members of the Cheonan Gambu, members of the torpedo squad who temporarily joined the Baekrangdae, and even martial arts people from Jiangsu who volunteered to join the pursuit team.
Appropriately, reinforcements arrived.
It was the beginning of a counterattack.
* * *
“…….”
Despite the barrage of attacks, the Demonic Cult’s physical appearance was extremely calm.
He lightly gestured, and the arrows and arrows lost their strength and fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
The Yangtze Cooperatives swore.
The middle part of the Cheonjam thread used as a fishing line broke off.
As I was moving through the air, I clicked my tongue.
‘It’s an astute response, as if he had anticipated this situation.’
Since he was a Demonic Cult leader with a transcendent spirit, he probably knew right away that enemies were approaching.
Nevertheless, the reason he can show such a relaxed attitude is probably because he is confident in his own abilities.
“Tie down the movements of the Demon Cultist!”
“Don’t let him get out of here!”
Shouts erupted from everywhere.
Martial people shouting their spirit and running towards the Demon Cult leader.
Hwang Bo-gak, who arrived first, unleashed a heavy fist.
Geogeol hovered around him, distracting the Demonic Cultist.
Quang!
Master Ma, who had been waving his hand a few times, briefly punched the air.
Hwang Bo-gak covered himself with his arms crossed and braced himself for the impact, and let out a loud groan.
An attack that comes from the side rather than the front.
Guessing the direction just by looking at hand gestures became toxic.
Craddangtang!
After glancing at Hwang Bo-gak, who collided with the unmanned men of the chase team and rolled on the ground, the next target the leader targeted was Bang Cheok-sam.
Coo coo coo coo!
He pulled up rocks and large trees scattered around using the method of emptiness, lumped them together, and threw them to one side.
The overwhelming mass itself becomes a powerful weapon.
The frightened warriors ran in all directions like grasshoppers.
Bangcheoksam, who was waiting for an opportunity while pulling the bowstring, clicked his tongue and left the spot.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!
The shaking earth.
Just like Hwang Bo-sega’s warriors did before, the newly added chasers also lost their balance and stumbled.
One after another, people expressed their bewilderment at the cult leader’s outrageous inaction.
“I can’t believe it. “Is something like that possible?”
“Is it even human?”
Fear spread like wildfire.
I shouted with more energy in my voice to change the mood.
“Don’t stop!”
“…….”
“If you don’t catch it now, you will face that monster again on the battlefield!”
“…!”
The warriors’ expressions hardened.
Everyone realized.
This is an opportunity that will never come again.
It didn’t take long for the sense of crisis to turn from excitement to madness.
“Aaaah!”
“Kill!”
“He’s human too! “You’re bound to get tired at some point!”
The shouts and screams of the warriors echoed throughout the area.
* * *
Boom!
Unmanned aerial vehicles crashing into something invisible and flying away.
Dojang Cheonwoo and Dojang Changin, who managed to get their bearings and landed on the ground, suddenly vomited blood.
The two Taoist masters who were masters of the highest level also suffered a huge blow from their daily attacks, not to mention those of lower level.
There were quite a few people who lost their lives with a single light gesture from the Demon Cultist.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Cheon Ga-ryeong, who had been holding on using the Cheon Geun-chu technique to avoid being swept away by the wind, took a deep breath.
Before she knew it, the Demon Lord was right in front of her.
“…!”
The wide open palm approached as if trying to grab the head.
In an instant, my mind went blank.
My breathing stopped and my heart was beating so fast it felt like it was going to explode.
At that time, a sword sheath engulfed in strong energy suddenly invaded my field of vision.
Quang!
Following the heavy crash sound, I felt a hand grabbing my back.
In the blink of an eye, the leader’s figure disappeared from sight.
Yeonseon, who took care of Cheon Ga-ryeong, used the recoil of the collision to increase the distance between himself and his opponent.
Three arrows flew in with some time lag, stopping the Demon Cultist’s pursuit.
“Thank you.”
“be careful.”
Yeon-woon placed Cheon Ga-ryeong, whose face was pale, on the ground and immediately kicked the ground.
For a while, I watched him working with Hwang Bo-gak and putting pressure on Ma Ji-ju from the left and right.
Cheon Ga-ryeong stood up from his seat, clutching his trembling shoulders.
There was no time to sit down.
‘This is not the time to watch idly. Isn’t the enemy who put me in a state of despair right in front of me?’
It was necessary to attract the cult leader’s attention even for a moment so that Yeonsun could strike the turning blow.
Everyone here was attacking the cult leader, throwing their lives away just for that purpose.
‘The reason the current Demonic Cult can exist is because there is a Cult leader.’
If the religious leader disappeared, Magyo was nothing more than a pavilion that would collapse at any moment.
I didn’t know if it would be possible to end the war if they could catch the Demon Cultist here.
She pulled out a soft sword from her waist belt and looked determined.
“Kaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
She moved across the clearing, leaving behind the screams coming from everywhere.
* * *
‘It’s a shame.’
Master Ma muttered to himself as he licked his lips.
I couldn’t help but feel so sad as I watched the Heavenly Dragon pressuring me by exploding its thunder energy spheres one after another.
Although it has only been a short time since he reached the level, he was showing inaction that was not at all inferior to other absolute masters who had mastered the level perfectly.
‘Did you say it was a white lightning technique?’
What was especially surprising was the quality of Cheonryong’s internal energy.
Since the foundation was different, the starting point was different from others even if they reached the same absolute level.
Perhaps, like the Heavenly Demon Heart Gong, Baekrei Shingong is a study that is different from the normal mind technique.
‘If he sided with the Demonic Cult.’
I can assure you that the Demonic Cult was promised a thousand years of prosperity.
Unfortunately, fate imposed trials on the Demonic Cult instead of opportunities.
‘We can’t cause any more trouble.’
No matter how absolute he was, Heavenly Dragon could not be his opponent.
Even after mastering the skill perfectly, it would not be enough to try again, and with my exhausted and injured body, there was no way.
‘If left alive, it will become the biggest variable that distorts the Great Precepts. ‘He must be killed here.’
I was thinking of taking time like this and forcing a war of attrition, but I had no intention of letting it go meekly.
There was plenty of energy left.
Whoa!
An enormous amount of energy rushed into my clenched fist.
A dragon fist wind rose around the right arm.
The warriors, engulfed by the dense demonic energy, were unable to withstand and collapsed and convulsed.
“…!”
Tianlong’s face hardened.
Intuitively, I felt like I knew something was different from before.
Absolutely! Quick!
The brain energy condensed on the blade of the steel blade and sprinkled white brilliance.
‘You’re going to fight with force?’
A smile formed on the corner of the Demon Lord’s mouth.
He must have judged that if he avoided it, the warriors around him would die en masse, but he had no choice but to say that it was a foolish decision.
What should we do now to care about the sacrifices of our troops?
‘From my perspective, I welcome it.’
It was the moment when a fist swirling with black energy and a scabbard wrapped in white light touched each other.
An old, grumpy voice pierced my ears.
“Nice to meet you, leader.”
A golden palm suddenly protruded out and gave strength as if supporting the sword sheath.
Ma Cyoju’s eyes narrowed.
‘This……!’
