< Episode 107: Heavenly Demon (2) >
“Kneel.”
The impressions of Grand Duke Na Yuryang and Jimaek’s matriarch Yang Jeong who had been cowed by a sense of intimidation were horribly distorted.
Where is this humiliation?
Although the two masters who had reached the peak of peace and order had a short-lived joint attack they were pushed back even though they declared war on their own and gave the cause a reason.
But that’s not enough they’re telling themselves to kneel.
-Wow!
This was something I had never heard of even in the war against the Justice League.
‘…I have changed.’
On the other hand the subordinates could not help but be surprised by Mo Gyeong-un’s changed tone of voice with his overbearing spirit and authority.
Mok Gyeong-un was someone who treated everyone with respect with his unique way of speaking.
This may have been overlooked but this change made those who supported Mok Gyeong-un realize that he was really trying to follow the path of defeat.
‘Ugh. okay. This is it.’
Gochan the guard who was possessed by the second Confucius Jang Neungak could not hide his joy.
Even though he had become a food spirit he could not even guess for what purpose Mokyungwoon was moving.
But on the other hand he had thoughts like that.
What if the monster-like owner who couldn’t understand the true intentions and didn’t know where he would end up decided to follow the path of defeat?
What kind of ripples will his every move cause in Moorim?
But when it became a reality Gochan felt a sense of elation just like when he first set foot in the martial arts world in a long time.
This feeling didn’t stop there.
Baek Sa-ha the King of Island Poisons spoke to King Ho Tae-gang in a somewhat excited voice.
“King Pabu. “It’s been a while since my blood boiled.”
“I guess it’s just the face that has been rejuvenated. “I feel like one.”
Although there were small conflicts for a long time after the Great War there was a period of calm in which the three divided forces maintained the balance and maintained the status quo.
This was largely due to the fact that Hoeju had been absent for over ten years due to illness.
However when they saw Mok Gyeong-un who had such dignity and power that it reminded them of Paedo their fighting spirit that had been buried for a long time began to boil over.
“under!”
‘…Is this what you meant?’
Vice-lord Mong Seocheon who was looking at this through the window of the Lord’s residence at the top of the main altar was at a loss for words.
Even when I saw him for a confidential mission he showed such a tremendous increase in his capabilities that I wondered if he was really a guy who had almost no martial arts skills before entering Sihyeolgok.
However it is no exaggeration to say that they are almost at the level of eight stars and their overwhelming inaction is to fight against two unrivaled experts who have reached the peak of fireworks at the same time.
This was a speed of development that could not be explained by innate lack of talent.
[Vice President. No father. Now he will create the era.]
Now I understand why that dreamy cool-headed kid who resembled me turned so blindly towards that guy Mok Gyeong-un.
‘I thought there was some degree of exaggeration…’
It was thought that perhaps the anecdote that he defeated the Hundred and Eight Arhats of Shaolin in one step or the rumor that he single-handedly brought down the Four Heavenly Dangists a part of the Justice Alliance were somewhat close to the truth.
Of course I still couldn’t believe the anecdote from Shaolin the former.
-Shudder!
At that time Vice Lord Mong Seocheon looked at the Lord in front of him as if he had missed it.
Although no confirmation was given to his son Mong Wuyak he was a member of the Heaven and Earth Council and the right-hand man of the Huaiju.
He was not in a situation where he could be marveling at the overwhelming presence of nothingness.
He spoke hastily.
“Hoeju right now….”
-Sigh!
Before he could finish speaking Huaiju raised his hand.
Vice-owner Mong Seo-cheon was puzzled by this and Hoe-ju opened his mouth.
“We’ll just watch for now.”
At those words Mong Seocheon frowned.
If two unparalleled experts who have reached the peak of Hwagyeong are pushed back even when they work together it means that they are truly masters of Hyeongyeong (玄境) who have surpassed the walls of walls.
In fact the only person in the society who could deal with him alone was the Lord of the Heavens who also received the title of Heaven.
I couldn’t understand why he was watching this.
“Hanahoeju. “If even those who support that guy join in and rise up it could easily lead to a huge civil war.”
The forces that supported Mokgyeongun who was said to participate in the Sammaek ritual alone accounted for more than half of the meeting.
The only thing that could be expected was that they would not go along with it and break away since they found out that Mok Gyeong-un’s true ambition was to destroy the Cheonjihoe.
However even if more than half of the people agree an uncontrollable situation can occur.
“Hoeju!”
“He said he would be watching.”
However Hoeju was very adamant.
Vice Lord Mong Seocheon could not understand his judgment.
Because he was his childhood friend before being his right-hand man he was confident that he knew him better than anyone else but at some point it became difficult to read his mind.
Even now even though the society itself is in a situation that could be shaken why is saying that you will watch and watch is no different from watching the situation?
‘Are you sure you’re trying to test them in this situation?’
They were Yang Jeong the head of the ley line and Na Yulyang the prince.
Even though Mo Gyeong-un suddenly declared war and left baring his molars the two were still strong candidates for succession.
Even though the situation was somewhat dangerous the reason why the company had not yet stepped forward might have been to wait and see how they would respond to the crisis.
It could be said that this was truly bold and had a large distribution but it was a risky gamble.
It was a situation where he could easily lose his successors.
Then it happened.
-Rumble!
At that time about a hundred warriors dressed in red fox fur flocked in unison and immediately surrounded Mok Gyeong-un forming a checkpoint.
“What are they doing?”
Yang Jeong the head of the ley line shouted at the Jeokpungdae of the Rasen ley line without even giving an order.
Even so not only did they overcome the wall but they also joined forces at the same time to reach that point and they were overcome with shame for being pressured by Mokgyeongun’s momentum but when they came forward their pride could not help but crack.
Then Geummu Yang Jeong’s adjutant and Jeokpungdaeju shouted.
“How can I as a subordinate watch over an enemy who disrupted this meeting and threatened my lord? Please forgive my rudeness. Jeokpungdae!”
-Good!
As they took the plunge the energy around them began to lift.
A phenomenon occurred in which the energies that were adjusted through the examination interlocked and doubled.
-Gooooooo!
The Jeokpungdae which was made up of only top experts was the best military group made up of warriors with numerous practical combat experiences.
To raise them Yang Jeong lived in the battlefield for over ten years in the north.
As a result it is no exaggeration to say that Jeokpungdae’s skills and combined work through examination are comparable to the Shaolin’s Baekpal Nahanjin or the Shaman’s Taegeuk examination.
“Let us all help the Archduke defeat the enemies of this council!”
At that time Moyak’s cry rang out.
She had already lost her Yoan in a short fight and Na Yulyang who was injured and Yang Jeong the head of the ley line judged that she had no chance of winning so the only way for her was to mobilize all her power.
The executives and soldiers under Nayuliang responded to her cries.
“Waaaaaa!!!!”
“Follow the Archduke!”
Nayulryang had built up a force that outnumbered about 40% so when they tried to move there were so many of them that the ground trembled and shook.
however
-bang!
In front of them King Ho Tae-gang struck down his ax and shouted.
“If you want to deal with your lord you will have to go beyond the main throne!”
-Passssss!
“It’s the same for Nobu.”
Next to him Baek Sa-ha the King of Island Poisons came out with his poison flying.
The forces under Na Yuliang who were about to step forward for a moment flinched at the momentum of the two Hwa-gyeong masters but as they were far superior in numbers they ignored this and tried to press on.
“Trying to protect a traitor who bared his teeth against the Association these people are no longer allies of the Association! Strike!”
Gongjongju Jonggak shouted.
however
“Oh ho ho. okay. But if you put it that way which one would have more?”
-Sreung!
As the lord of the Am sect Hwan Ya-seon stepped forward to select his Tao the executives and members of the faction that supported Mo Gyeong-un who had been watching silently began to step forward.
The members of Nayuliang’s association could not hide their bewilderment at their appearance.
At least they believed that they would not sympathize with a traitor trying to overthrow the Society.
“Oh no. “Are you guys trying to commit treason?”
“What makes it treason for a subordinate to follow his master?”
-Roaring!
Sihyeolgokju Lee Ji-yeom walked out fearfully holding a flaming sword.
After practicing the supplemented Red Flame Sword Technique he gained complete control over the Yeolyangjigi and his capabilities rapidly increased reaching the beginning of the Hwagyeong.
As a result even executives could not hide their surprise at his changed spirit.
‘Geeee…’
Vice Lord Meng Xiochian’s complexion darkened.
Even though he was a Wolmaek and supported Mokgyeongun he thought that since the period was not very long some of the loyal members of the society would defect to some extent.
Otherwise it would be tantamount to treason so I expected people to not easily go along with it but I was spectacularly wrong.
Almost 80% of people were following.
The few who did not come forward were Danju-level figures under the second Confucius Jang Neung-ak but they followed Jang Neung-ak’s choice and did not truly swear loyalty to Mo Gyeong-un so they deserted because they could not commit treason.
Because of that
– Coo coo coo coo coo!
On the surface the forces of the two opposing sides were almost equal in number.
As this many people faced off the atmosphere became tense and tense.
No one could have predicted that Hoeju’s emergency call would lead to a civil war in this way.
But here no one could back down.
‘at last….’
‘Are we heading towards a bloody civil war?’
It was a car where everyone was facing each other with tense looks and maintaining a distance.
It was then.
-bang!
-Blah blah blah!
At that time the sound of footsteps was heard from somewhere.
At this everyone’s eyes turned to that place.
However the eyes of the members who saw this could not help but widen.
“Turn it off.”
“Cough!”
“Oops!”
-dump! dump! dump!
As the examination was being carried out the hundred-strong Jeokpungdae who were surrounding Mo Gyeong-un clutched their chests and fell down vomiting blood.
‘Anit?’
‘What is this?’
It happened so quickly that none of them could understand what was happening.
This was the same for Yang Jeong the head of the ley line.
All they did was step on the right path so how could it be that Jeokpungdae the most elite of the ley lines fell so helplessly?
At that moment everyone here remembered one thing.
‘Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo (天魔君臨步)!’
Because he defeated Shaolin’s 108 Nahan Jin in just one step the martial arts called this step a thousand demons.
Seeing this the members’ complexions darkened.
I don’t know anything else but I thought that the destruction of the Hundred and Eight Arcade Hanjin in the daily news was somewhat exaggerated but who would have thought that we would see it in reality.
However an even more surprising sight appeared before them.
-Wooow!
Mok Gyeong-un who had defeated over a hundred of the elites of the leyline with the Heavenly Demon Lord’s Bounty rose into the air with his back turned.
“The path of emptiness and empty space!”
This was Neunggongheodo said to be the highest peak of Gyeonggong.
It is the highest level of Gyeongsinbeop where one can literally fly in the sky.
Mok Gyeong-un who was floating in the air opened his mouth.
“Kneel. “For those who do not surrender there will be only death.”
A voice echoing everywhere.
As soon as those words were finished black energy began to flow from Mo Kyung-un’s whole body.
-Gooooooo!
It was magical energy.
Once the ferocious magical energy was unleashed it covered all directions making the entire square breathtaking.
This appearance of Mok Gyeong-un was literally like an absolute being.
At some point some of the members who were confronting the intimidating feeling were suppressed without even realizing it and ended up lowering their heads.
As such the momentum of wood farming had reached its peak.
‘No!’
Na Yu-ryang thought that if things continued like this his morale would be broken before he could even fight.
“No matter how strong you are this association will never bow down. And you haven’t faced the true strongest player in this tournament yet.”
At those words the members of Nayuliang’s association shouted in unison.
“Waaaaaaah!!!!”
That’s right.
Before the Seventh Heaven there was a being called Yukcheon (六天) who ruled the Central Plains.
It was the Lord of Cheonjihoe.
These were people who believed that if he stepped forward the situation would turn around.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un sighed and laughed.
Then
-Sigh!
He held the test paper and stretched it upward.
Then
-Guuuu! Parrrrr!
“What is this…”
“Anit? “Why is this?”
The people holding their swords were soon unable to hide their embarrassment.
That’s because the swords they were holding began to move helplessly and arbitrarily due to the powerful true energy.
Those who had weak internal strength or could not withstand it ended up losing the sword.
-Papa papapak!
So many swords appeared in the air.
The pupils of the people looking up at this scene shook as if there had been an earthquake.
This was the same for Mok Gyeong-un’s subordinates who could be considered allies.
‘This… is called Igigeeogeom?’
‘How deep is your true energy to be able to control so many swords?’
No is this even possible in the first place?
While everyone was astonished Mok Gyeong-un pointed towards the followers of Na Yu-ryang who were confronting Geomgyeolji.
Then
-Chachachachachachachachacha!
Numerous swords emerged and were immediately aimed at them.
But it didn’t end here.
Mu Gyeong-un’s left pupil turned golden just like when Na Yu-liang opened his eyes and soon the swords turned into black sword steel.
-Oooooh!
‘!!!!!!!!’
