< Episode 99
The man in the lead, who looked to be in his mid-thirties, had incredible strength. Every time you step on it, the ground caves in and a loud noise erupts. This is proof that the energy pouring out from the soles of the feet is enormous. Dozens of black figures were following behind them.
They are Yeonwoojung and Cheonwoldae warriors in their seventies.
Yeon Woo-jung got down in an instant, narrowing the distance, and quickly looked around. There are many corpses scattered haphazardly everywhere. First of all, the military personnel of Hyeonyangmun Gate, who were formally entrusted with guarding his son Yeoncheong, can be seen. It was Cheonwoldae’s workmanship. He must have done something worth dying for. I wasn’t particularly impressed by the deaths of the bugs.
The problem was that the thirty warriors of Cheonwoldae, who were secretly in charge of Yeoncheong’s real guard, were also dead. Yeon Woo-jung knew their skills better than anyone else. They were not the ones to die in vain in a place like this. He probably wouldn’t have shown up in the first place.
‘…Most of them were killed with one sword.’
Even looking at the scars, it is difficult to understand. Even if there is a superiority or inferiority in skill, it is difficult to predict victory or defeat in a fight between warriors. This is because there are so many variables. Being able to decide the game with one sword means that the gap in skill is so large that such variables are useless.
‘Does that mean he is that strong?’
Yeon Woo-jung looked at the bamboo-lip man standing with his sword hanging down. Since the other Jukrip people did not even wear weapons, it was probably only the man with the sword who did it. Well, they say he was an expert enough to handle the 30th Cheonwoldae on his own, but strangely enough, from what I could feel, he wasn’t that strong.
“father…!”
At Yeon-cheong’s call, Yeon-woo-jung’s eyes turned to his son. Although what happened to Cheonwoldae was shocking, the most important thing was actually the safety of her son Yeoncheong. What was the reason that Yeonwoo-jung and Cheonwoldae Ilbaek had been rotting in such a small village for over ten years? It was for the sake of the great world that Yeonsancheong would later take over Hyeonyangmun, enter the leadership of Heuksaryeon, and ultimately swallow up Heuksaryeon entirely after Yu Gil-jun’s death.
“dare….”
Yeon Woo-jung changed his mind.
Even at first glance, Yeonsancheong did not look normal. For some reason, there was a small, bluish mark left in the center of his forehead, and he looked quite painful as he was clutching his left shoulder. Are my bones or veins damaged? If any disability remains, it will be a huge setback in your future work. It’s natural that fire sparkles in Yeonwoojung’s eyes.
“Do you know who you just touched?”
“Magic religion.”
“what?”
Yeon Woo-jung was surprised by the man’s answer and asked back. How does this person know that?
Although Cheonwoldae was dead, they were people who knew how to store demonic energy to near perfection. The martial arts he learned was also a swordsmanship that did not reveal much of the characteristics of magic arts, so it was difficult to guess his true identity just because he was dealing with him. There was no way Cheonwoldae would have revealed his identity separately.
These are people who knew the importance of Hyeon Yang-mun’s work and stayed in hiding for over ten years.
“…Do you know about our school’s Cheonwoldae?”
As Yeon Woo-jung, he could not help but guess that the other person was someone who had some knowledge about the Heavenly Demon God’s Armed Forces. Perhaps he recognized the character ‘Wol (月)’ engraved in silver on the sheath of the sword worn by Cheonwoldae.
“I don’t care what you call them. The whole village is full of people with demonic energy. Is it surprising that you recognized them?”
Yeon Woo-jung was silent. So, doesn’t that mean that he also recognized the believers who were disguised as civilians? The demon energy they contain is very weak, only a handful. Unless you have an extremely good sense of humor, you wouldn’t be able to notice…?
“You also have black demonic energy. You are much more powerful than those behind you. Since you are probably the leader, I ask you. What on earth is the demonic cult plotting here? Does the Black Silent Realm know about this?”
Yeon Woo-jung’s eyes shook mercilessly. He couldn’t believe it, but the Juklip man even realized that he was hiding a magic resonance device. Yeonwoojung made a quick decision. The author is a master. I can no longer trust the inaction that I feel. It is correct to assume that he could annihilate thirty Cheonwoldae by himself.
‘I have to kill him here, no matter what…!’
A determined light appeared in Yeon Woo-jung’s eyes. If you are a master like the Juklip man assumed, it is actually best to avoid fighting. First of all, not only would it be a shame to abandon Hyeonyangmun, which had already been invested for over ten years, but it would also have been difficult if the fact that the Heavenly Demon Church had sneaked into the land of Sacheon was revealed to the ears of Heuksaryeonju.
Even if it is not clear what he was trying to do specifically, he was able to upset the Heuksaryeonju by simply saying that he was planning something in Sacheon, the territory of the Heuksaryeon. This could even spread to the pretext of a major war. At a time when he was preparing a great plan for the world of magic, clashing with Black Silent was too much of a burden. It could be a breath of fresh air for a faction that has barely maintained its existence since the nine factions became the sixth faction.
Yeon Woo-jung said after making a decision.
“All of Cheonwoldae. In the name of Yeonga, the use of reverse blood magic is permitted.”
As soon as those words fell.
The momentum of the Cheonwoldae warriors lined up behind Yeonwoojung began to change suddenly. The energy wave that occurred in an instant spreads between them like wildfire.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh This one This one
In the eyes of the warriors of Cheonwoldae, a ghostly fire seemed to flicker, and their whole bodies were filled with a dark-blue flame-like energy. It was an unusual sight for anyone to see.
“Reverse blood magic attack…!”
“So… Confucius. It’s dangerous. It’s best to avoid at least the reverse blood magic attack…”
Zhuge Yingying was shocked, and Zhang Gil stopped him. In the meantime, Jang Gil changed his title, perhaps because he thought his identity should not be revealed.
“That’s a reverse blood magic attack…”
Although Tang Mi-ryeo was not as surprised as Zhuge Yingying and Jang Gil, he still seemed quite surprised. I had heard it before. Previously, when they invaded Tangga from Majwangcheon. The reason why the family’s masters, including the head of the family, were helpless was because of the reverse blood magic attack.
Zhang Gil, who remembers that time, and Zhuge Yingying, the daughter of the Zhuge family based in Hubei, Ma Gwang-cheon’s area of activity, had no choice but to react sensitively to the appearance of the evil blood demon.
These people, commonly referred to as demons, who built up martial status through magic martial arts, generally possessed a magic resonance energy called magic energy. This magic resonator itself had explosive power, but in particular, when it used a technique called reverse blood magic, the magic energy would run wild uncontrollably, allowing it to temporarily generate a force several times its normal power. At this time, even my sense of pain was paralyzed, but I was able to just ignore most of the wounds and go into battle.
Of course, this power was not given without a price. Once a reverse blood magic attack was cast, the rampage could not be stopped until all of the magical energy was used up, and after the rampage stopped, the dantian was broken and the sense of pain returned, causing sudden death from shock. It was truly a last move at the risk of death.
In the Heavenly Demon Church, the private use of such reverse blood magic techniques was strictly prohibited.
They were concerned that the indiscriminate use of reverse blood magic would spread to the weakening of Jajit’s magic power. Up to now, the reverse blood magic technique has only been taught to military units directly under Shingyo. Of course, that doesn’t mean they can perform reverse blood magic at any time.
There had to be an order from the religious leader, who was the highest figure in the religion, or from someone who inherited the lineage.
However, the situation was a little different for the warriors belonging to Makwangcheon. Since Demon Gwangcheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok decided the use of reverse blood magic attack at their discretion, they could cast reverse blood magic attack at any time if they made a mistake.
That is why, during the battle with the Tang Dynasty, Ma Gwang-cheon’s masters were able to associate with the Tang Dynasty masters even though they were extremely addicted to poison. By deploying reverse blood magic, delaying death for a moment, and generously pouring out runaway magical energy.
‘It is right to avoid this. They are the ones who will fall down in their own grass over time anyway.’
Jang-gil thought that Yeon-myeong would not be able to overcome him this time. Although Sogaju’s swordsmanship skills were unusual, the momentum felt by the Cheonwoldae warriors was no joke. I feel like I’m several times stronger than before. There are not thirty, but seventy such people. Besides, even if I took out poison now, it wouldn’t work…
But Yeon-myeong still stood firm. He still didn’t seem to think about flight or evasion at all. Rather, he looked at Cheonwoldae as if he was a little interested, and then suddenly asked.
“A love story? Is it related to the Lord of Demonic Light?”
“He is my cousin.”
Yeon Woo-jung answered calmly. In any case, it was discovered that he was from the Church of the Heavenly Demon, and since Yeon Myeong showed no signs of running away, he took advantage of it. This would be enough as a gift for the road to the afterlife.
Meanwhile, Yeoncheong was greatly surprised to hear his father’s words. He said his lineage originated from the Heavenly Demon Church…?
“So…? He owes me money. That’s good.”
Yeon Myeong said as if he was happy. She does not forget that her mother’s tragedy was caused by the eccentricity of Ma Gwang Cheonju Yeon Yeo Hyuk. I’ve been meaning to deal with Cheonma Shingyo and Ma Gwang-cheon for some time, but I can’t believe that a person who is related by blood to Nae Yeon-hyeok appears before my eyes like this. The feeling of death quickly soars.
‘I owe you something to Junghyuk. ‘Who the hell is this?’
Yeon Woo-jung tried to guess the identity from Yeon-myeong’s words, but there was nothing to guess. To begin with, Ma Gwang-cheonju Yeon Yeon-hyeok is a person who has grudges all over the world.
“How long should I wait? If you’re ready, hurry up and attack. It looks like you gained strength by burning your own life. Shouldn’t we settle the matter before the flame goes out?”
“…It is hastening death.”
Yeon Woo-jung was dumbfounded. Doesn’t that guy feel the mighty power of Cheonwoldae? I think that with this level of power, it would be enough to catch even an expert in fireworks.
If you want to die, you should kill me. While muttering that, Yeon Woo-jung opened his mouth.
“All of Cheonwoldae. Slaughter him.”
There was no answer. This is because he had already lost half of his sanity due to the demon energy running rampant due to the reverse blood magic attack. Like hunting dogs waiting for a signal, the seventy warriors of Cheonwoldae simply pounded the ground and rushed forward.
[What are you going to do?]
Heong Heong, a food spirit who was watching the situation, expressed doubts when it seemed like Yeon Myeong would fight him with his sword until the end. Although the suddenly revealed swordsmanship skills were certainly surprising, these enemies did not seem to be very formidable opponents. Wouldn’t it be better to compete with memorized martial arts suitable for mass murder?
Yeon-myeong looked at the approaching warriors of Cheonwoldae and raised his yam sword. Lay it down horizontally and extend it to the left. It is a precursor to a simple transverse attack. It’s too ordinary for a cardinal formula.

Then suddenly he mutters.
“Just a bell.”
Was this an answer to the auditory question of what you were going to do?
Next, Yeon Myeong added one word.
“Island (繼).”
OK.
Like a lie, the world split into two parts.
