Side story 251. Murder in victory (1)

“you!”

Heo Seong-gwan’s appearance, glaring at Lee Cheon-sang with bloodshot eyes, was reminiscent of an evil spirit.

“How dare you dare to be so polite!”

“Then why are you here?”

Lee Cheon-sang spat out extremely cruel words with his characteristically blunt face.

“How much must a person who is the commander-in-chief of the Shinto religion have lost trust for him to act like this? How much must he have lived each day in a ridiculous manner for him to not be able to hold out in the military and run away like a rat?”

“This guy!!”

“Rebellions and purges can happen at any time. But at least someone in the highest position should not be seen like this.”

Lee Cheon-sang pointed to Heo Seong-gwan with a nod.

“Your current ugly state is of your own making.”

“Can’t you just shut up?”

Hwaaaaak!

The magical energy that was radiating was truly like a storm.

He was already feeling uneasy about the current situation. But hearing such insults from the guy that that damn Baek So-dam cared about made him feel like he was going crazy with anger and self-loathing.

Milma Lee, the leader, shouted hurriedly.

“Sir! Evacuate immediately! Those guys are… …!”

puck!

“Ouch!”

This leader was hit by Heo Seong-gwan’s fist and bounced to the right, hitting the wall.

He looked at Heo Seong-gwan with eyes of disbelief, holding his broken nose.

“What the hell are you guys… … .”

Heo Seong-gwan’s eyes, which had changed into a strange expression that seemed to be smiling or crying, gradually turned blood red.

“How much more miserable must I be before you satisfy me!”

Kwarrrrung!

With a loud noise, a reddish vortex rose from Heo Seong-gwan’s body.

At that moment, Yang Baek-ho was startled.

‘Demon possession?!’

To be exact, it was just before the coin was stolen.

It is said that the top-class magicians have stability that is no less than that of the Jeongjongsingong of the Jeongpa, but even that has its limits. Since magic itself is a study that draws strength based on the strong psychological impact of the practitioner, it is difficult to deviate from the fundamental principles of martial arts.

Heo Seong-gwan was now burning with rage to the point where he could no longer control his magic.

“Heaven! This guy… …!”

“I will take care of it.”

“what?”

Lee Cheon-sang pointed towards the military department on Chil-ya Road.

“They will be fighting fiercely. Go to the military department.”

It was an attitude that had already been made up. In the first place, Lee Cheon-sang was closer to the center of this incident than Yang Baek-ho.

“But the Milmajo members… …!”

That was when.

Phew!

A thunderous force that flew from afar shattered the two crew members on the spot.

It was truly an incredible technique, an incredible feat that made the differences in realms seem insignificant.

Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes sparkled.

“hurry!”

Paaak!

Yang Baek-ho flew away in one breath.

Yu Yi-sang, carrying Baek So-dam on his back, shouted in an incredibly loud voice.

“Hey! Long time no see!”

Lee Cheon-sang did not look at Yu Yi-sang. Heo Seong-gwan, who burned powerful magic like a storm, was a dangerous opponent even if he lost his composure.

However, I couldn’t help but confirm this one thing.

“A hundred won?”

“I’m carrying you right now! You’re badly hurt, but you’re okay!”

Heo Seong-gwan’s eyes trembled.

The moment when the burning magic reaches its limit.

“Kill him!”

Pavababak!

The leader and the surviving crew members threw themselves at Yui Sang.

At the same time, Heo Seong-gwan ran towards Lee Cheon-sang.

“Inom!”

The twin swordsmen moved like lightning, and before the two hands filled with a storm as thick as fresh blood could fully extend, the joints of his entire body creaked as if they were about to break.

Lee Cheon-sang unfolded the Geumgangmado.

Kwaaang!

At that moment, Lee Cheon-sang felt hundreds of lights flashing before his eyes.

‘That’s incredible.’

It was a shockwave beyond imagination. I knew that magic would run wild with extreme rage, but even taking that into account, this level of destructive power was unexpected.

“You bastard!”

Heo Seong-gwan swung his right fist.

The tour was rough, but the speed was too fast. The red vortex wrapped around the fist was also restraining Yi Cheon-sang’s actions with merciless pressure.

‘It can’t be avoided.’

BANG!!

Even the Geumgangma Road, which maximized the rotational power of the Geumgangma Kwon, was unable to completely defend against it.

Woozikkun!

The body of the thrown Cheon Sang broke a tree in the middle.

Even the Jinmagong’s self-protection aura was not enough to offset the shock. This was the first time I had felt such a shock since I had confronted the Bongsan Witch Choi Jeong in the past.

but.

‘It’s bearable.’

Now that you have reached the realm of supremacy, your body and magic have been reconstructed.

Even when receiving the same shock, the level of coping ability is different. The Jinma-gong that permeates every muscle is extremely flexible and has the ability to store the shock received and then release it.

Lee Cheon-sang swung his left hand.

It was the first meal of the Diamond Magic Fist and Diamond Magic Dragon.

bang!

Heo Seong-gwan’s body shook.

Even though I could have avoided it, I didn’t. I could have been consistent in my defense, but I didn’t even do that.

“… … !”

Heo Seong-gwan did not respond at all. He simply withdrew his overflowing magic energy and immediately launched an attack after receiving Lee Cheon-sang’s attack.

Even Lee Cheon-sang was momentarily taken aback by that sight. Even if his anger had reached its peak and his magic was running wild, it was impossible for him to charge forward while receiving an attack that could shatter even a large rock with his bare body.

Heo Seong-gwan’s pair of swords were swung around wildly.

It was one of the 108 magic techniques, the Dragon Scroll Magic Palm.

Boom! Boom! Pow!

A whirlwind of tension that surges madly.

As he struck out each and every tension with his terrifying swordsmanship, Lee Cheon-sang gradually felt his insides shaking.

‘That’s amazing.’

Just by looking at his tactics and his attack methods, you can tell that Heo Seong-gwan had almost no experience in actual combat.

But it’s not easy to stop them. There are openings here and there where you can counterattack, but you can’t seem to find a way to get through.

Kwarrrrung!

A storm of rampant magic was blocking the approach of any outside force.

This was the reason why I couldn’t attack properly. It wasn’t a difference in level, it was just an overwhelming difference in power.

‘The amount of internal energy is enormous.’

Even if you keep pouring it out, it won’t dry up. The rampaging magic power consumes more internal energy than usual, but the barrage shows no sign of ending.

Rather, it seemed as if the strength grew stronger as each day passed.

‘also.’

Even as he parried and cut down Heo Seong-gwan’s lightning-quick attacks, Lee Cheon-sang’s mind remained calm.

‘It can’t be explained by simple enlightenment. Some of the internal energy is a bit unstable. If it was internal energy obtained through pure cultivation, it would never be like this. This is absolutely the power of the elixir.’

He had taken the command corps, even if it was only half-assed. He knew what it felt like to release unstable internal energy that had not been fully absorbed, so Heo Seong-gwan also noticed that he had taken the elixir.

‘How many elixirs have you taken?’

He may have abused his position as the Supreme Commander to take as many Heavenly Horse Corps and Command Corps as he wanted. The number may have even reached double digits.

To that extent, Heo Seong-gwan’s internal energy was abnormally large.

“Eww!!”

Heo Seong-gwan became even more furious as he watched Lee Cheon-sang, who seemed to be within reach but could not be caught.

The magical energy that was already pouring out in all directions expanded its area even further.

‘Amazing.’

Lee Cheon-sang’s two eyes became sharp.

‘Can a person’s extreme emotions have such a big impact on magic?’

It was a phenomenon that was difficult for him to understand, as he was less emotionally agitated than anyone else.

‘But for some reason… … it feels familiar.’

It would be a lowly thing to think about other things in the middle of a life-or-death battle, but the fight with Heo Seong-gwan kept stimulating a part of Lee Cheon-sang’s memories.

‘Have I ever been like this?’

There was. Obviously.

While the thought was on the line, Heo Seong-gwan’s martial arts skills changed.

The outstretched hand slightly closed. It was a strange shape, as if it would grab and burst anything, as if it would scratch and cut any object.

It was a claw method.

Kwakwakwang!

The hand of Heo Seong-gwan, who cut through the air, made five furrows in the earth.

The scope and length were enormous. If it was done properly, it was a blow so violent that it could kill ten masters in one blow.

This was also one of the Baekpalmadohak, Gwangyanghyeoljo (狂襄血爪). It was a martial art that was considered the best among the martial arts possessed by the new religion, and it was a martial art of the highest level that only the Black Water Demon’s Black Blood Claw could come close to.

That wasn’t all.

When Heo Seong-gwan realized that he could not kill Lee Cheon-sang with just the Dragon Sword, numerous swords leapt out from his hands.

Exploding Heart, Fierce Heart, Iron Demon Demon Fist, Black Bone Eight Hands, Shameless Hand, Blood and Eum Chamryun ), Gocheok Daemagyeol (苦斥大魔訣)… … .

Surprisingly, the number of Baekpalmadohak that Heo Seong-gwan had practiced exceeded double digits. Treasure-like martial arts that could make one look like a master or higher even if one mastered them properly emerged one after another.

It wasn’t a martial art learned through blood, sweat, and tears in real combat. It wasn’t a martial art that was learned alone and with difficulty.

The many martial arts that Heo Seong-gwan used were all martial arts that he had learned through his head. However, it was impossible to look down on him for learning them only through his head. The martial arts that he displayed, which were innately gifted in interpreting martial arts, were intertwined with the rampaging magic energy and had powers beyond imagination.

‘This is possible too.’

However, Lee Cheon-sang was not an easy person to catch with a different type of martial arts.

No matter how great the martial arts are, they have their own uses. Even in the midst of an enemy’s splendid offensive, if you can exploit just one opening, you will win. It is a battle of wits. To use martial arts indiscriminately like Heo Seong-gwan is nothing more than showing off your martial arts.

Of course, the problem was that the level of achievement was so high and the density of magic was so great that it did not end with mere bragging.

It was not enough to kill Lee Cheon-sang, but it was also difficult for Lee Cheon-sang to counterattack. That was how great Heo Seong-gwan’s internal energy was. ‘It is a great talent, but it is possible because this is a new religion. It is possible because Lee Ja is the commander-in-chief.’

He has encountered countless magics in his position on the earth and has even boldly touched elixirs, so he is able to show such an amazing appearance.

No matter how genius one’s talent is, it is useless if the environment does not support it. Furthermore, Heo Seong-gwan blindly trusted his good head and thus handled both martial arts and desires in a clumsy manner.

Even now, he was providing tremendous help to enemies who deserved to be torn to pieces.

‘This is the Baekpalmadohak of the new religion!’

Lee Cheon-sang memorized each and every one of Heo Seong-gwan’s moves that came into view in his head.

It wasn’t intentional. If Heo Seong-gwan had mastered even one of these martial arts to the extreme, he wouldn’t have been able to read the form.

In the clumsily learned martial arts of the highest level, Lee Cheon-sang experienced how far the possibilities of the dots and lines of the beginner’s style could extend.

And through that experience, I became convinced.

‘The nameless martial arts are the pinnacle.’

It is no exaggeration to say that all of the Baekpalmadohak are the greatest martial arts of all time, but if you tear and combine the paths they draw, they eventually connect to the paths of the unknown martial artists.

Nameless Martial Arts is the pinnacle of the discipline called the Magical Arts. If True Magic is the true introduction to Magical Arts, Nameless Martial Arts is the essence and end of Magical Arts.

Plop!

Heo Seong-gwan’s fingers passed over a bit of flesh on Lee Cheon-sang’s shoulder.

At that moment, Lee Cheon-sang’s leg kicked Heo Seong-gwan’s ankle. Unable to overcome his own strength, Heo Seong-gwan, who was floating in the air, screamed and released magical energy in all directions.

And then.

Flash!

The vertically falling Seven Night Sword cut off Heo Seong-gwan’s waist with the power of thunder and light.
