What Cheonhwa, who moved straight to the southern front, encountered was a bloody disaster.
It was a place where countless warriors of the Murim Alliance were slaughtered and fell, and the demonic cultists who killed them remained there without leaving.
It was an absolutely unfavorable and extremely dangerous situation, but the reason Cheonhwa went there was because of the fighting.
Because he was still on the battlefield.
His spirit wave was shot down dangerously as he struggled alone.
“Why are you there?”
But when he actually jumped into the battlefield, a completely different picture than he had expected unfolded.
In the middle of the demons who had trampled the corpses of the warriors of the Murim Alliance that had formed the Shisan Blood Sea. It was true that there was a tougui there, but it was not the fierce battle that was taking place, as if walking a tightrope between life and death, which could be said to be his specialty.
Rather, he was sitting on a throne of unknown origin, waiting for someone, as if he was being escorted by minions.
Still giving off a sense of danger.
It was a trap.
“You’ve come all the way here. Maybe you wanted to act like a knight?”
It was not that even Cheonhwa did not know that.
It was truly surprising that one of the Three Kings of Heaven, Tougwi, had joined hands with the Demonic Cult, but anyone could see that this situation was a trap.
Could it be that the Demonic Cult had lured him into joining them to fight them?
Well, I don’t know about that.
Since he is not the type of person to shy away from a fight, he can easily create a position without necessarily colluding with the Demonic Cult or something.
So, was it a group from the beginning?
Considering the period of time he was active in the Central Plains and the actions he had taken during that time, it was difficult to confirm or deny it.
Since he enjoyed life-or-death battles, it could be seen that all of this was done to weaken the power of the Central Plains in advance, and the number of demons he killed in this Jeongma War was also quite a lot.
“What about the knight? Why would the mountain king pass through a place where rabbits play?”
So, Cheonhwa, looking at such a strange sight, leaned on one leg and placed the Ice Spirit Medicine on his shoulder.
And then he blurted out something that might sound arrogant to some.
No matter how hard you try, you’re still the weak.
No matter how much we gather and band together, it is you who should be afraid, not me.
“You’re still arrogant. I guess that’s because you have that much skill.”
“A guy who knows that does this kind of nonsense? Yes. If you have prepared anything, take it all out. I’ll wait.”
However, since he had once fought against Cheonhwa, he did not see it as arrogance or pride.
I acknowledged that he had the ability to do so.
That’s why Cheonhwa couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
If you don’t know your own skills or have a rough idea of them, you might not know, but if you’re a fighter, you’ve probably experienced it firsthand.
If that’s the case, then you must have prepared something suitable for it, but what could it be?
Poison? Memorization? Spells? Or maybe you’ve gathered a bunch of Hwagyeong masters? Surely, it’s not like the Heavenly Demon will suddenly appear?
I kept watching them without showing it, but I couldn’t detect anything of note.
Of course, there were some people with skills like Hwagyeong.
I was curious as to why so many Hwa-gyeong masters, who were few and far between in the Central Plains, emerged from the Demonic Cult, but from my previous experience, not many people had truly attained enlightenment and reached the realm of Hwa-gyeong, so I wasn’t particularly worried or nervous about it.
If you corrupt the power of the spirits with magic and only extract the power of the Hwagyeong level, you can suppress them as much as you want.
I was confident that I wouldn’t be able to do anything even if a double-digit number popped out instead of four or five.
But it wasn’t to that extent.
There are only five unmanned vehicles of the Hwagyeong-class at most, including Tougwi.
‘Did you hide your skills? Or did you gain enlightenment in the meantime? It doesn’t seem like a forced appearance that was brought up through dirty means.’
But what was unique was the level of the tougwi.
It’s clear that when we met last time, he seemed to be at the peak of his power, but the energy I feel from him now is definitely at the realm of a flower landscape.
This is a real miracle, not one achieved through trickery using magic or something like that.
“I prepared it… … There is no such thing. If there is, it would be me.”
“hmm?”
Amidst such doubts, Tougwi slowly rose from his throne.
At the same time, an incredible energy began to emanate from his body.
“Were you a cult member?”
But its power is special.
Magi. It was a dark and pure magic that was incomparable to anything I had ever experienced before.
“You could say that. Everyone is equal under him. But what I can say for sure is that it will be very different from before.”
The demon raised his body, emitting a devil-like power, and slowly began to walk towards Cheonhwa.
I thought he was going to start an attack, but surprisingly, the other mines stood behind him and didn’t move at all.
As if there was no need to, as if he couldn’t move until he gave the order.
“Should we start with a quick hello?”
“!”
Kuung!
Then, the moment he stomped his feet hard, the air changed.
It was just a single cloud, but the pressure in the atmosphere increased and a wave of enormous force crashed down on Cheonhwa like a tidal wave.
“This is… … !”
Cheonhwa’s expression also changed at the explosive power.
He hurriedly spread out his shield and sent the energy away, but a tremendous wave of force passed through his body.
A daily routine that contains the mystery of waves.
I’ve seen similar powers mimicked a few times, but this was different.
If the previous ones were derivatives, then this is a force closer to the original?
Cheonhwa had also heard that name.
“Cheonma Gunrimbo?”
Cheonma Gunrimbo.
It was one of the most representative techniques of the Cheonma Shingong, which is said to subdue ten thousand horses in one step.
And it was known that only the Heavenly Horse could master it.
“You were Cheonma?”
“No, not yet.”
‘That means… … .’
Togui smiled faintly at Cheonhwa’s question, which was slightly embarrassing.
Although he denied it, Cheonhwa was able to sense his true identity through those words that left a strange impression.
“Are you a cult leader?”
The only being known to be able to learn the Heavenly Demon Art, which only the Heavenly Demon can learn.
It is only the junior sect leader who has been chosen as the next Heavenly Horse.
The identity of the person who was active in the Central Plains and was considered one of the Three Kings of Heaven was actually the leader of a demonic cult.
It was absurd, but it was reality.
I could be sure of it just by looking at the mines with excited expressions.
“That’s what it’s called. So you better do it right. This time it’s going to be a lot different than before.”
“This is… … lucky.”
“What?”
The face of the little cult leader, who no longer hid his true identity and unleashed his full power of martial arts, was filled with confidence, but contrary to his expectations, Cheonhwa was not afraid.
Instead, she just smiled and looked at him with greedy eyes.
“Let’s see. The bounty on Cheonma’s head was 1,000 gold crowns, and the head of the minor sect was 600 gold crowns?”
“How dare you… … !”
To him, both the Heavenly Horse and the Little Leader were enemies that had to be defeated, and they were walking gold nuggets with a huge bounty offered by the Murim Alliance.
It was natural that other mines were outraged by that reaction.
Even knowing his true identity and what martial arts he uses, I can’t stand him talking nonsense like that.
“Enough. This is my fight. Everyone step aside!”
“Little Master… …! Understood.”
At least the young leader remained calm.
It is unclear whether he recognized it as Cheonhwa’s realm of conflict or because he knew it was his original personality, but it doesn’t matter how he thinks of himself.
In the end, it remains to be seen who will kneel.
However, if he wins, Cheonhwa will pay the price for talking nonsense.
Since he had decided to use the Heavenly Demonic Art, he was confident that he would not be defeated, but he knew that the power of the Heavenly Flower could rival that of the Three Emperors, so he did not let his guard down.
“Wouldn’t it be better to send my men first? That would relieve me of some of my strength. Even so, it would only extend my life by a very small amount of time.”
That sight seemed a bit surprising to Cheonhwa, but it didn’t matter anyway.
Anyway, the little guys won’t cause any harm to you.
And the fact remains that they are also demons who deserve to receive his wrath.
‘It’s the Heavenly Demonic Art… … .’
Cheonhwa looked at the cult leader and the minions with cold eyes and thought about the secret martial arts that the bastard had learned.
Cheonma Shingong.
The strongest martial art in the Demonic Cult, mastered by Cheonma.
In the position where he would ultimately have to compete with the Heavenly Demon to avenge his parents, it would have been a huge advantage to be able to experience it first.
That’s why Cheonhwa also had no choice but to become serious.
It was necessary to accept as much as possible, but also to analyze and dismantle it.
“You’ll know once you try it.”
The work was just beginning.
He took another step forward, drew his sword, and watched the young sect leader as he summoned his strength.
Although there was a slight inconvenience in using my internal energy due to the surprise attack of the Wiji Se-ga, I didn’t mind.
Anyway, I won’t be using my power on the likes of a minor cult leader.
“You go first.”
Kuung!
It was he who took the initiative.
As he took a step forward, raising his spirits again, a massive wave of energy aimed at Cheonhwa once again.
But this time it didn’t stop there.
As the saying goes, “At first it was a greeting,” this was the real Cheonma Gunrimbo.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With every step he took, a huge wave occurred, and it struck Cheonhwa one after another.
Not only is it continuous, but the preceding and succeeding waves overlap and change, making it difficult to deal with.
If they were an ordinary expert, someone who didn’t really understand the mechanics of the waves, they might be able to block them at first, but they wouldn’t be able to withstand the chain of waves and would either suffer internal injuries or just get bounced off.
Because the power of the wave was not something that could be endured or overcome simply through a struggle of strength.
“Or so you say!”
Kuung!
In response, Cheonhwa also stomped hard.
But this time it’s not free.
It would be a good idea to use the free-spirited attack to flush it out, but the attack of the waves that continued skillfully was something that could not be ignored either, so another method was used to deal with the chain of attacks that could continue while the free-spirited attack was being deployed.
Pfft!
What unfolded was a new wind.
The King’s Dokmun Gyeongsin method, which causes a strange whirlwind to surge up wherever you walk, disrupting your internal energy usage.
After unfolding it, I stepped on the same spot again and the rising whirlwind dispersed.
A special wave was carried by the scattered wind chimes and used it to fight against the Heavenly Demon Lord.
As cleverly as a snake, he targeted the weak part of the wave created by the Heavenly Demon Lord and caused an offset.
“So you were a descendant of ‘that’ after all?”
But the leader of the sect had already jumped up as if he had expected it.
He approached as if he was chasing after the clashing and canceling Cheonma Gunrimbo and Shinpung.
It was a unique magic technique called Cheonma Flight Technique.
“Good. I will prove to you here that the Heavenly Demonic Art is the greatest martial art of all time!”
What was being shouted was not a sword, but a spear.
He pulled his left hand, which was not holding the sword, tightly to his armpit, and a whirlwind of energy like a strong wind shot out from his extended forearm.
“What are you talking about? The best of all time is just this body!”
Cheonma Falls.
It was a convolution, not an ordinary tension.
It contained the power of waves created by the rotating energy along with the enormous career, and had the ability to repel and neutralize the opponent’s defense, but Cheonhwa had already seen through it.
Darararang-!
As he quickly plucked the wind chime that he had taken out, the sound swirled around him.
The tension in reverse sent a ripple through the air, sharp sound waves trying to tear apart the creature’s core.
“width!”
But the cult leader doesn’t just take it for granted.
Instead of withdrawing the Heavenly Horse’s Blast, he blocked the power by exploding the tension in an instant.
And his offensive wasn’t over yet.
Because it was really a sword.
From the beginning, he swung his sword as if he had not thought that something like the Cheonma Bomb would do anything to Cheonhwa, making the attack offset it.
“The devil’s way to the underworld!”
“?!”
At that moment, the magic of the cult leader was further amplified.
The great power of the Heavenly Demon Heart was unleashed, and his body transformed into the Heavenly Demon Body, the Heavenly Demon itself.
Accordingly, the magic energy of the surrounding mines is extracted.
As if the energy of Manma was submitting to Cheonma, it suddenly rushed towards him and began to emit an overwhelming energy that was more overwhelming than before.
The heavens and earth shook with the awesome power of the heavenly horse.
The demons of hell have appeared in the human world.
