‘Have I caught up with you?!’
It was not unreasonable for Gu Jin, the great disciple of the Kunlun Sect, to think so with his face crumpled. To show such a presence, it would have to be someone like his teacher, Maseon Gokun. It is natural to assume that he is a Hwa-kyung or an expert in extreme magic. Since Gok-woon and Tae-heo were unable to come to their senses after being poisoned, they decided that he was a member of the Demonic Cult who had been pursuing them.
It would either be Gongsun Tae, a Left Master of the Demonic Cult, or Hyeokryun Jungseon, a Master of the Demonic Cult – I could not sense the demonic energy unique to the demons, but the masters of the Extreme Demon Realm were originally good at hiding their demonic energy. Even though you have learned magic, you are in a state where you do not look like a magician, a kind of return to the devil.
‘When was it overtaken?’
Kunlun’s talent is one of the best in the world. Not only was there a new method that allowed for endurance, Cloud Dragon’s Eighth Strike, but the overall level of new methods and light attack was high. This is because Xinjiang is nearby. It is not strange to encounter demons anytime and anywhere. Since it is an environment where the achievement of divine law and meditation is directly related to survival, martial arts that use one’s feet have no choice but to develop.
This was also the reason why the escape continued until now. Of course, no matter how excellent your light attack is, if an expert at extreme extremes runs with all his might, he has no choice but to catch up. By giving up Kunlun Mountain, which had been the base of the sect for hundreds of years, they widened the distance, and as the distance narrowed, several capitals and collaborators remained to block the pursuit of the Demonic Cult, even if only for a moment, so they were able to avoid being caught in the nick of time.
It also played a part in the fact that the left and right warriors of the Demonic Bridge took a leisurely approach to the chase, as if they had just walked away. It was clearly felt that the attitude was to enjoy Kunlun’s last struggle to the fullest, and considering the relationship between Demonicism and Kunlun so far, it was not something that could not be understood. As the gatekeeper of the martial arts kingdom in the central region for hundreds of years, Kunlun was at the forefront of blocking the advance of the Demonic Cult into the central region. Of course, the resentment accumulated over the years was as wide and deep as the ocean.
In particular, during the Kunlun Sect’s time, Jangmun Quyun was called Ma Xian (仙) and was an object of fear among the Ma people. In fact, even excluding this Bangpa war, the number of demons he had killed over the past few decades was worth a thousand pounds, so from the Demon Cult’s perspective, it would not have been enough to tear him to pieces and kill him a hundred times. Since such a person was now in a serious state and running away on someone else’s back, it was understandable that this was considered entertainment.
But it seemed like that was over now. There wasn’t much time left until Sacheon, and it seemed like they were planning to block the escape route as they sensed a presence ahead. Gu Jin stopped walking. This is because the front and back are completely blocked. He couldn’t fall to the side. The only way to survive was to race towards Sacheon over the shortest distance. There was a possibility of encountering a priest bringing reinforcements,
“Ambassador type.”
As we stop walking, the priests call one by one in anxious voices. All of the Taeheo gurus who are carrying Taeheo look perplexed. They, too, must have felt the enormous presence approaching from the front. Behind them, the Demonic Cult chase team was closing the distance, and everyone was only looking at the mouth of Gu Jin, who had led the escape.
However, Gu Jin could not give instructions hastily. The words “predicament” kept ringing in my head, and the teacher’s limp body, lifted up, felt even heavier.
There was such a gloomy atmosphere.
Wow—
A being that had been emitting a presence at the front appeared. It was much faster than expected. At first it looked like a dot, but when I blinked once, it quickly expanded to the point where I could recognize it as a human figure. After that, a long white line continued, and it felt like a beam of light. It seemed to prove that it was a very fast light attack, and in fact, the speed at which the distance was narrowed by the minute was so hard to believe even when I saw it with my own eyes. My feet barely touch the ground. My toes just brushed against each other occasionally, and each time I heard a thud and shortened a considerable distance in an instant. Not only did I properly learn the techniques of Gyeongshin, but I was also able to guess that the propulsion force created by pouring out internal energy into the Yongcheonhyeol of the sole of the foot was incredibly powerful. How deep is his internal energy that he can unleash it and move like that?
By the time I realized that Inyoung, who was approaching with a frightening force, was not a demonic cultist’s left or right priest, but a young man wearing a light green military uniform, he had already arrived nearby. The movements of getting down were very sophisticated, as they had somehow managed to capture the propulsion force. It felt like the attainment of meditation and divine law had reached a ridiculous point.
“The deceased…?”
Gu Jin asked cautiously. It has to be that way. A peerless young man who suddenly appeared – he looked like he had just passed the terms and conditions, but even now, he exudes a tremendous presence, and it seems as if he is a master with his whole body. Even though he went through anti-Rohwandong, he looked too young, but since he didn’t look like a person from a demonic religion, there was no harm in treating him politely. Because maybe you can get some help.
The young man looked at Gu Jin in silence for a moment. No, rather than Gu Jin, it seemed like he was looking at Kunlun Jangmun Gu Yun, who was carrying him on his back. Although the breathing ceremony was severe, relief appeared on the young man’s face after confirming that he was still breathing, albeit slightly.
It was then. A surprised voice came out from the community side.
“Sogaju… no, how did Lord Jeongcheon do it?”
It was Hyeon-so who recognized Yeon-myeong at a glance. He was carrying Taeheo, a four-hundred dog, and even in the midst of his excitement, he could not hide his joyful expression. He didn’t know when he first asked for support from the Tang family, but now he also knows how strong the dark poison sword dragon Yeonde Myeong is. He is an expert who is capable of killing all six apostles, including Yoo Gil-jun, the black snake trainer. Not only did he reach the realm of peace, but his martial arts of mass destruction was also extremely extraordinary. Even though the Demonic Cult’s Left Master and Usa were experts at extreme levels of magic, it seemed like they could deal with both of them if they were natural.
“It’s been a while. Dojo.”
Yeon Myeong recognized Hyeon So and approached him with a light greeting. On Hyeonso’s back was Taeheo, whom he knew well. His complexion was pale and his lips were turning black, indicating that he was addicted to poison. He was shaking intermittently, probably because he was getting chills, and his breathing was heavy. At a glance, you could see that he was in worse condition than Gokun. Is it because he was hit by a properly executed poisonous attack?
“Jinin’s condition is critical. We must hurry to detoxify him.”
“Is it possible…!”
Hyeonso is pleased with Yeon Myeong’s words. Hyeonso, who had carried him up until now, knew better than anyone else that the current state of Sabaek Taeheo, who had been killed by a man named So So-ma, was very bad. Sabaek is an expert in internal qigong who has reached the state of flowering world – but his breathing has been completely disrupted since two days ago. Not only that, he was constantly breaking out in cold sweat and occasionally shaking his body. It seemed that the ability to fight against poison with deep internal energy was gradually reaching its limit. Nevertheless, Hyeonso could not easily take action. They had a general-purpose antidote on hand, but it didn’t seem to be effective. He was busy running away and being on guard,
A while ago, in Sacheon, Sabaek encountered Heuksa Yeonjun Yoo Gil-jun and suffered serious internal injuries. During the few days that Hyeonso stayed at Tangga for the sake of Sabaek’s treatment and negotiations for support troops, he was naturally exposed to various common knowledge about poison.
It turns out that the antidote to certain poisons is not so simple. If you think about it, it’s natural. In the first place, the poison dealt with in Dokmun (門) is made by mixing various things. This is why deciphering it should not be easy.
So, he said that you can only attempt to decipher it if you know what ingredients were used. It was said that if you hastily use medicine based on only the outward symptoms, the condition may worsen, and there are even types of poisons that intentionally cause this to happen. By looking at the symptoms that appear after poisoning, you infer the medicine to be used and take precautions in advance to make the poison more severe when you encounter it.
In fact, unless the person is a proficient reader, it is difficult to decipher even if he or she is a member of the party family who is well versed in poison. So, even when Yeon-myeong appeared, Hyeon-so had no expectations of deciphering it. Even if you are skilled in dragon poisoning and poisoning techniques, deciphering others is considered a completely separate problem.
But now, Yeon Myeong seemed confident of deciphering it to some extent. I can’t help but be surprised and delighted.
“Lord, please…”
It was when Hyeonso wanted to ask him to decipher the Four Baek as quickly as possible.
Suddenly—a very eerie feeling descended everywhere. For a moment, it felt as if the day had become dark, and the faces of Kunlun and Gonggong, who were slightly surprised by the appearance of Yeon Myeong, also darkened rapidly. They knew from experience that this phenomenon was caused by extremely controlled demonic energy.
Magi, which is originally the energy of reverse heaven, has a violent temperament like an untamed wild horse. It is also the cause of demonic magic, which can be considered an aftereffect of magic, but because the magic energy emitted by masters of extreme magic is thoroughly controlled, it has a rather calm side. Just like the refined energy of Taoist or Buddhist masters.
In other words, the eerie feeling felt now could be said to be a sign just before the emergence of a master of the extreme realm. It can be seen that some kind of energy wave reached them first.
just as expected.
Out of nowhere, two old men with a huge presence appear in the air and descend, holding their backs. Each of them was wearing scarlet and purple silk robe, and it was immediately apparent that they were of very precious status.
These are the left and right temples of the Demonic Church. Hyeonso said quietly.
Yeon Myeong silently assessed the achievements of the elderly. Maybe it’s because I’ve been attacking it for a long time, but I feel an extremely powerful energy. Intensely purified magical energy flows from all over its body without stopping, and although it is slightly different from those who have learned the martial arts of traveling, it can be seen that it is clearly a being on par with Hwagyeong.
In fact, this was not the first time Yeon Myeong encountered demonic energy. Hyeonyangchon, where I stopped by on my way to attend the Sacheon Branch—I met unidentified demonic cultists there. However, there was a significant difference between what I felt then and the demonic energy flowing from the Left Master and Right Master of the Demonic Cult now.
‘The ultimate realm.’
It is said that those who have mastered magic and martial arts to a world-class level are called that. A being that can manifest demonic energy. These are the people who must be killed. If possible, right here.
“There was a part of him that he trusted. For some reason, he desperately ran away.”
The old man with the scarlet long sleeves muttered as he looked at Kunlun and his co-workers. I had no idea such a variable would arise.
The old man in purple clothes spoke with his eyes fixed on Yeon Myeong.
“Compared to her pretty appearance, she has fierce eyes.”
“Ahaha – Usa is right. Even if he went through the transition to anti-aging, his face is too young. It would be more appropriate to think of him as his natural age, not because he has artificially acquired youth.”
“It’s hard to believe it when you see it, even at that age. If I hadn’t experienced the example of Ma Gwang-cheonju earlier, I might have dismissed it as impossible.”
“Anyway, it’s an unexpected harvest. There is only one person like that in the current martial arts world. Judging by the mention of Maengjuni and Haedok, it’s the same.”
You are the Dark Poison Sword Dragon of the Tang family. The scarlet Jangsam’s left master said so confidently, and the purple Jangsam’s right teacher added. The future of the political faction has found its own place to die.
Yeon Myeong, who was quietly watching their conversation, simply asked a question with a strange expression.
“I came looking for a place to die…?”
