Reincarnation of the Demon - Chapter 153



Only Noblemtl

153. Lifeguard

“No! No no no!!!!”

It was a bone-chilling scream. A woman in purple attire, covered in blood all over her body, ran towards me with a look of terror on her face.

It was an expression I had never seen before. Even when she was in danger of death from the previous Demonic Cult’s supreme leader, and even when hundreds of crazy demons were rushing towards her, the woman who had maintained a blank expression now ran madly with an expression close to despair that was unparalleled in the world.

Jang Han-baek and the rest also followed her. They too were subjected to the fierce onslaught of madmen, who seemed to be rushing at them like animals in heat. Despite this, they survived, but they were exhausted and on the verge of collapse.

Nevertheless, they ran, squeezing out every bit of their strength. It was because they thought they knew why Dang-hye and the Poisonous Witch were running so desperately.

And the reason was soon visible to them as well. Dang-hye, who had gone first, swept the face of a fallen man with trembling hands.

It was Yongun.

“No, no, please… not again, this can’t happen.”

Tears wouldn’t stop flowing from Dang-hye’s eyes.

Jang Han-baek urgently felt Yong-un’s pulse. Yong-un’s body was as hot as a ball of fire. It was so hot that it was doubtful whether a person could withstand this temperature.

His expression hardened. His pulse was faint and fading.

“Jin-gi…”

Dokgo Guwol muttered. As he said, Yongwoon’s true energy was flowing out of his body to a degree that even they could feel it. More powerful and intense than anything else, the energy was flowing out of his body like water.

Yongwoon opened his eyes dimly. The life in his eyes had already disappeared.

“sorry.”

One word. Dang-hye’s tears fell on Yong-un’s face.

“You bastard, how could you do this again? Please, please don’t go.”

“Sorry…”

“No, please, no. Not this time. I will die with you.”

“don’t do it.”

“No. Who are you?”

“don’t do it…”

Yong-un’s breath gradually became fainter. Dang-hye’s hands and eyes also shook violently as his breath became fainter and his breathing slowed down.

Jang Han-baek, Dokgo Gu-wol, and Go-un-geom had gloomy expressions. The reason they couldn’t say anything was because there was a woman in front of them who was even more desperate and filled with fear than they were.

Yongwoon smiled faintly. He was dying. He was truly sorry to Danghye, but this second life was truly like a dream he had hoped for.

He lived properly as a free spirit, and even killed Cheoninhapil himself. In the end, although it was a result of sacrificing his life, he reached the final realm himself.

Properly, I flew through the sky. From someone who looked back, to someone who walked ahead.

I saw people I had missed, and I saw new people. There was no more frustration, depression, or inferiority complex in my heart.

Well, it was a satisfying life. Even if it was a dream, that’s okay.

Just when Yongwoon’s hand was about to fall.

“It’s still too early to die.”

It was immediately after that that voice came from behind Dang-hye.

Everyone turned around in astonishment. Standing there was a lady in an old-fashioned silk dress.

A beautiful lady with luxurious silk clothes and flawless skin. When the men looked at her with a bright smile, Dang-hye instinctively took out her Mandoksa, and Yong-un muttered.

“Cheonma…”

Everyone was startled by the name. At that moment, Chae-Ang! Jang Han-Baek and Dokgo Gu-Wol took out their swords and aimed them at Cheon-Ma’s Adam’s Apple.

Cheonma smiled faintly.

“Wow. There are still many stars in the world of martial arts.”

So she walked, ignoring the two swords.

And all the men of the party were unable to move.

The Steps of the Heavenly Horse, the Steps of the Heavenly Horse. There was no one in this world who did not know the name of this martial art.

However, this was not a martial art. She just walked. That was it. She didn’t use any internal energy, nor did she move any invisible energy or heavenly energy, but the two men who entered the Euihamcheonkyung couldn’t react at all and had to help her pass by.

Only their hands, which were pointing their swords at the air, were twitching.

Dang-hye was different. Her poisonous tongue was about to open its mouth toward Cheon-ma, but stopped.

“oh.”

Cheonma asked briefly, impressed.

“Why are you rejecting the doctor?”

“…because I heard you helped him.”

“It’s not like a political person. I like it.”

Dang-hye clenched her fists. The reason was to prevent her from shaking. Her instincts, which had become more sensitive as she reached the state of unity with heaven and man, were sounding an alarm telling her to run away as far as possible.

The feeling of unity between heaven and man was speaking to the princess of a noble family who seemed to have no power at all.

Cheonma sat right next to Dang-hye and looked down at Yong-un. Yong-un also looked at her, trying hard to keep his eyelids shut.

At the same time, three men fell. The star of the Mudangpa, the swordsman of Dokgo Sega, and the swordsman of Cheonhajeilmun, who were breathing heavily, could only look at the back of Cheonma with eyes of disbelief.

“These beads weren’t given to me to live this short.”

Cheonma said while looking over Yongun’s details.

“…Were you watching everything?”

“I was watching. I didn’t see everything, but I was always watching.”

“I’m sorry… for living like this.”

“What is there to be sorry about? I only saved your life in return for saving mine. You haven’t even heard my name yet, have you?”

When asked about the name of the Heavenly Horse, she did not answer. She just smiled and said that if she could overcome it, she would tell him then.

Following Cheonma’s laughter, Yongun also laughed. The meeting between Cheonma and Yongun was neither long nor long. When they first met, Cheonma was dying, and Ma-ui was unable to break his egg.

The one who is dying now is Yongwoon.

“So, you came… to say goodbye?”

“It’s a breakup. If that were the case, you wouldn’t have come. I came to help. The fire in your eyes hasn’t disappeared yet. You gave me joy again.”

Cheonma opened her hands. The vitality of nature gathered into her small, delicate hands.

Dang-hye shut her mouth and looked at the scene. Even for her, who was a being of the same nature as heaven and man, the movement of the vital energy was of a level different from hers.

The right hand was filled with vitality, and Cheonma’s left hand went to Yongun’s chest. Above the heart, Cheonma’s hand touched it,

Dang-hye opened her eyes wide. The vitality of nature was causing change.

“…how?”

She muttered without realizing it. I couldn’t help but be surprised. The vitality, the true energy of a person, was causing changes in the palm of someone else’s hand.

The energy of the sky and the energy of the earth meet to become the original energy, and the original energy is the energy of the world and the beginning and end of all energy.

When all life dies, its energy returns to vitality, and that vitality becomes the essence of new life. This is the natural order of things.

Now, that providence was going backwards. The energy of the one who was already fading away and dying, which had escaped and returned to its original state, was turning back time, returning to its original life and innate energy.

“I guess it’s because you died once that you woke up and became successful.”

If the mystery that occurred in the hands of Cheonma were widely known, it would be a wonder that would turn martial arts, no, the world upside down.

If the reversal of that strange energy is possible at every moment, then the legend of immortality that Qin Shi Huang so desperately sought would not be a vain lie.

Cheonma’s right hand moved to Yongun’s heart. When his right hand, replacing his left, touched Yongun’s chest, the energy that had been placed on it, which was now completely Yongun’s true energy, was absorbed into his heart.

Yong-un’s body temperature, which had been as hot as a fireball, gradually decreased, and his breathing became clear again. At the same time, his eyes and complexion also regained their original energy, so Dang-hye couldn’t help but shed even more tears.

“I can’t believe it.”

Yongwoon muttered with a more powerful voice, and Danghye fell into his arms.

Cheonma smiled and slowly left his seat.

“It looks good.”

Yongwoon raised his upper body while receiving Danghye’s painful hug. He was a doctor. And he was the founder and caster of Sowoonsaenggong.

He had just been given a third life.

“How high did you go?”

He looked at Cheonma as if he couldn’t believe it and said that. Cheonma shrugged. It was a direct expression that I had never seen from her before, in the Demonic Cult.

“I never really thought about it. The concept of a state was a rule that never existed to me in the first place. I just refined the enlightenment I gained.”

“How should I repay this favor…”

“What about repayment? I don’t need it. The way you showed me just now was indeed satisfying. Rather, it would be okay to think that I was repaying you. The choice to give up the life you had so desperately wanted was, truly, nice to see.”

Yongwoon checked his body. His true energy was full. It was fuller and clearer than before. It seemed to be because he had fully unleashed the Sounsaenggong with the help of Cheonma.

The power was overflowing. It was the second greatest chance Yongwoon had ever received, after reincarnation.

“Have you been near me the whole time?”

Cheonma shook his head at Yongun’s question.

“You don’t have to be right next to me to see it. It was a coincidence that I came here, but it wasn’t a coincidence. It’s similar to the reason you came here, but it’s different.”

Ambiguous words. A figure floated up behind Cheonma. The corpse of a dead person. Dang-hye’s expression hardened a little.

“…a terrible thing.”

Among the monsters that the Red-Eyed Monster brought from the Demon Garden, she was the most powerful, and she was also the reason why she couldn’t run to Yongwoon.

Even though the greatest horse in the world at the time was crazy and a long time past his prime, he was still strong. To the point that even Tang Hui of Cheon Yoo-bang couldn’t handle him right away.

The corpse had a large hole carved into its chest that Dang Hye had personally drilled.

Cheonma shook his head while looking at Dang-hye.

“There’s no need to worry. From the moment you lost your light long ago, you were as good as dead. However, treating the dead like this… there’s a price to pay.”

The dead face of the demon was calm. The dead expression of the mad monster that had been rushing forward while drooling finally contained the majesty befitting the world’s greatest horse.

Those who were there could tell that there was some kind of relationship between the Demon King and the Heavenly Demon. The expression on the Heavenly Demon’s face clearly showed her emotions.

Cheonma laughed again as he looked at the hardened Jeongpa people.

“Certainly, I have become more emotional. I don’t want to deny it, and I am enjoying it. Indeed, the sword master’s plan is half successful.”

“half?”

“I have become closer to humans. And humans are animals whose desires come before reason.”

The moment Cheonma spoke while looking at Yongun, Dang Hye’s eyes, which had been reading the emotions in Cheonma’s eyes, became fierce.

“Yeah, I understand.”

“You don’t have to worry. Probably, at least for now. I’m not good with my emotions either. But one thing is for sure. Yeomcheonseong Yongun.”

Cheonma’s eyes changed a little.

“I look forward to seeing you again on higher ground.”

Yongwoon was surprised once again. The countless emotions he could feel in Cheonma’s eyes, eyes that had been empty before. Among the emotions contained within them, there was one that was very familiar to Yongwoon: the will to fight.

“…you?”

“Yes, I am. Of course, it’s not intense, but I’m definitely looking forward to it.”

Cheonma smiled and turned his back.

“After all, aren’t you my disciple? It’s natural to be curious about a disciple’s accomplishments.”

Yongwoon smiled and nodded.

“I really have many teachers.”

He felt strange about the fact that Dang-hye was blocking the way between him and Cheon-ma, and asked Cheon-ma as he was leaving.

“Where are you going?”

“There are some beings that make me feel uncomfortable. I have a feeling that I will meet them again soon.”

In that way, Cheonma disappeared from Pohyeonbu as soon as Yongun blinked his eyes. Now, they were the only living people left in Pohyeonbu.

A moment of silence. All of the members of the Biryonghoe were staring intently at Yongun. He sighed, scratching his cheek.

“I guess this needs some explanation.”
