< Episode 107: Heavenly Demon (3) >
It was a part of the future that was seen through the energy left in Seonghwaryeong.
It may be a moment at many crossroads that may or may not come.
However among the many divisive moments there was one sight that brought him a fresh shock.
That intensity made him recreate something that was close to impossible.
-Papa papapak!
Numerous 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.
‘How can there be so many swords?’
‘Can you really control this many swords?’
It is possible to lift a desired object simply by lifting it out of thin air even if you are a supreme expert.
And as you become a master of flower sutra your understanding of energy increases and you can handle it in more detail.
And the level of the sword that expert experts can only vaguely guess.
It is called fish sword art or igige sword art.
When you reach the state of Hyeongyeong (玄境) which is called the highest state in handling energy beyond the walls of walls you will be able to handle the sword with true energy as if you were handling a horse.
As the level increases the range of thinking of the experts expands through enlightenment.
And depending on the breadth of the thinking the detailed handling of ki also varies but the number of techniques that are so precise that even the blade of a sword can be reproduced such as the Igi Gear Sword is bound to be limited in number.
‘!?’
Hoeju’s eyes who were watching the situation like a bystander trembled.
At first glance the number of swords floating in the air was slightly over a hundred.
Floating that many swords is also possible.
However if you want to handle it in detail the limit would be about twelve at most.
Any more than that would consume internal energy and exceed what the mental power can handle.
‘…Are you trying to show off to take the lead? Or is it really possible?’
Whatever it is it will take a huge amount of mental energy.
Are you confident that you can take care of it?
Or is it possible because it is the will of a ghost that has endured for 100 years?
-Chachachachachachacha!
Even the Hoeju was surprised when Mok Gyeong-un pointed towards the members of the group who were following Na Yulyang who were confronting Geomgyeolji.
Then
-Chachachachachachachachacha!
Numerous swords emerged and were immediately aimed at them.
But it didn’t end here.
Mo Gyeong-un’s pupils turned golden just like when Na Yu-liang opened his eyes and soon the swords turned into black sword steel.
-Wooow!
‘!!!!!!’
The members of Nayuliang’s group who were looking at this were even more shocked.
“What does this mean?”
“A monster…a monster. “Is this really possible with so many swords?”
“…That doesn’t make sense.”
“What do you mean my strength is infinite?”
Even if it was just a sword I could not help but be overwhelmed by its force but the moment I saw the swords stained with the most ferocious black sword steel I could not help but be overcome with shivers and fear regardless of the hostile nature.
Is this the true power of the Seven Heavenly Demons?
‘What is that?’
Grand Duke Na Yu-ryang was surprised to see the sky covered with Igigeomgang which was not even Igigeomgang but he could not help but be surprised when he saw Mokgyeongun’s pupil dyed in gold in the empty space beyond.
That was definitely almost the same as when he opened his eyes.
‘…That can’t be possible.’
It was hard to believe.
It ate his own eyes.
But he just ate the eye but did he also absorb the power contained within it?
Didn’t he get his eyes transplanted using magic like you did?
The words spoken by Yul-myeong the messenger from the Presbyterian Church passed through Na Yu-ryang’s mind.
[Hehehe. Don’t compare things like that. This is a spirit beast…and it is the ghostly eye of King Satan one of the six demons a being infinitely close to a divine beast.]
[King Sata? Are you talking about imamangryang?]
[yes.]
[Isn’t the conclusion that these eyes belong to someone who is quite strong among the Lee Ma-mangyangs?]
[You are enjoying great luck but your review is very disappointing.]
[Well it’s just an eye. Of course thanks to these eyes the blind spot will disappear. I am grateful for that.]
[It’s not just squares. You may have had many strengths with your previous eyes but the eyes you have now are of a different order.]
[The status is different?]
[It may still be difficult to handle properly because it has just been transplanted but I can tell you one thing for sure that Confucius will soon be able to properly absorb and embody the power of this eye.]
[What do you mean?]
[You will be able to compete with Lord Hoe in his prime not during his illness.]
‘Do you think I will be able to compete with Master in his prime?’
Although Master is suffering from illness he is one of the six peaks in the Central Plains.
Even if it were the eyes of Immaengryang a being that is different from humans would such a thing be possible?
Na Yulyang acknowledged that the power of the transplanted eye was greater than the previous one but he regarded this as a condescension to create a debt in the Presbyterian War.
But is that the power of Yoan?
‘This can’t be right….’
There was someone watching this from afar.
He was the Great Master Myeongryul.
Myeongryul couldn’t help but be astonished as he saw Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes become similar to King Satan’s eyes.
No matter how much he has learned magic how can a mere human consume the eye of Imamangryang and embody its power?
However it would be difficult to use it properly unless it was transplanted or refined using magic to turn it into a Buddhist tool.
Is the author really human?
Then Mok Gyeong-un floating in the air opened his mouth.
“Someone once called this a sky flash. iced coffee. Of course this may not be very bright.”
The black rivers that fill the sky.
It was darkness itself.
“….”
“Now is the end of mercifully dragging us into the story. It’s the last time. Kneel down. Those who do not surrender will die.”
An intimidating voice that echoes in all directions.
Mok Gyeong-un’s final warning left the audience in silence.
If that thing flew towards them hell would have unfolded.
As they became meditative they looked around here and there to see if they had lost their will to fight due to the absolute power of Mokgyeongun.
No matter how afraid they were no one bowed down so it was inevitable that they would be noticed if they gave in first.
But someone had that courage.
-thud!
It was a single-level unmanned vehicle.
“Yunmyeong is sober!”
“No how!”
At this the other owners around him gently encouraged him.
But his mind did not change.
Having spent over forty years in the organization he experienced numerous battlefields.
Even for him this is his first time seeing such a sight.
Even the Lord of Heaven and Earth one of the Six Heavens seems to have never shown such electrifying and overwhelming majesty.
“I’m sorry. “I… I don’t think I can do it.”
“Huh! Yoonmyeong sobers up!”
It was then.
-thud! thud!
This action of Danju Yoon Myeong was literally the starting point.
Several members of Nayulryang’s side who were watching here and there began to kneel.
When they saw that scene the eyes of the executives and subordinates under Mok Gyeong-un trembled with excitement.
Even they felt fortunate to have Mok Gyeong-un as their lord and on their side due to Mok Gyeong-un’s overwhelming majesty.
In the meantime seeing them kneeling here and there to a noticeable extent made them feel like their master was not only proud but even their own shoulders were lifted up.
-thud! thud!
The speed of kneeling became faster and the noise became louder.
Nearly 30% of the fighting force knelt down and people around them tried to dissuade them by urging them here and there but to no avail so they were embarrassed.
At that time someone stepped forward and shouted.
“Go!”
The shout that spread through the lion’s rear was strong enough to make the eardrums vibrate so those with weak internal energy covered their ears and looked at the epicenter.
At this Yang Jeong the head of the ley line raised his sword and walked towards where Mo Gyeong-un was.
“All members of this meeting grit your teeth and come to your senses! We are warriors of the Great Heaven and Earth Council! Even if they were a strong enemy how could they give in so easily to a group of traitors? No matter whether the enemy is strong or weak everyone dies on the battlefield. This is the difference in determination. Everyone raise your fighting spirit. “I will take the lead!”
The role of a general or leader was not simply about strength.
Their role is to lead everyone but also to bring out their morale and fighting spirit.
An army full of fighting spirit and with high morale can sometimes achieve the miracle of defeating a large army with only a small number of soldiers.
Even recently Yang Jeong the head of the Ley Line who had a lot of experience on the battlefield knew this and tried to prevent them from surrendering by somehow raising their morale.
And the reason he stepped forward like this was to show everyone including Hoeju that he was the most qualified person to be the next successor.
His shouting had surprisingly some effect.
“What the head of the Yangjeong family said is right! Everyone come to your senses!”
“Let’s follow the head of the Yangjeong family and protect the Heaven and Earth Association!”
“Waaaaaaah!!!!”
The members of the group roared with joy and fired up their fighting spirit.
Seeing them like that Mok Gyeong-un said with a dry look in his eyes.
“They are literally fire moths.”
“You only know what’s long and short by looking at it!”
With those words Yang Jeong the head of the ley line launched a new weapon towards Mok Gyeong-un.
Before he stepped forward someone’s voice rang in his ears.
It was Hang Yeo-ryang Cho-eum Gok-ju one of the three Gok-ju.
-house owner.
‘huh?’
-This is the recommended amount of ultrasonic grain liquor. I’m saying this in a small way so that only the family can hear so don’t show it.
‘….’
– I am telling you this because Prince Nayulryang was injured and the only one who can deal with that guy here is the head of the family.
‘….’
-As far as I know no matter how high a person reaches and broadens his or her range of thinking there is a limit to human mental power so it will be impossible to handle so many techniques with precision.
It sounded right.
However no matter how precisely it cannot be handled if our troops fire it at random in such a concentrated area the damage will be indescribable.
As if reading his thoughts Hang Yeo-ryang the master of Choeumgok sent a message.
-Even so if it falls the damage will be enormous. We need to stop it before that happens.
‘How?’
How can we prevent this?
she said
-I have the secret technique of Yin Gong. I don’t know if it will work on a master level expert who has reached the level of enlightenment but at least it will be able to distract him for a while.
‘ah?’
-In the meantime the head of the family should attack the author.
Yang Jeong the head of her ley line looked at her with an expression of somewhat incomprehension at her words.
She clearly belonged to Nayuliang.
A person like that would give this opportunity to himself rather than his master.
If this works he will probably be recognized as a hero and receive the support of many members.
-To be honest I don’t care who is on top whether it’s Confucius Nayuliang or you. It doesn’t matter if it’s just people related to Jeongpain or King Myeongdo. Hehehe.
Was it something like that?
Anyway that woman was difficult to understand at all.
However it was too much of a crisis to suspect that she was now up to another trick.
I don’t know why but at the point where the stock owner still hasn’t stepped forward someone had to come forward and turn things around.
‘That’s me!’
-Pot!
Yang Jeong who was continuously gathering energy tried to unleash her secret power.
At that moment Choyingokju Hang Yeo-liang brings his hands together towards Mo Qingyun leaving the space between them empty and then expands his abdomen.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
She unfolded the secret technique of Yin Gong.
‘!?’
Those around her were surprised by her sudden cry but fortunately this secret technique was the worst technique to focus sound waves containing true energy on a specific opponent and rupture the five organs and six parts along with the nine-hole blast.
It is a method that requires almost half of one’s internal strength and takes a long time to prepare so it is difficult to use during a fight but it is quite possible for now.
This means that blocking the eardrum cannot block sound.
Even if you block the entire body’s pores with energy the moment any sound enters it spreads through the body like poison and causes pain.
If you are distracted by pain like that a gap will appear and you will not be able to maintain your natural self-directedness.
-Poof!
It was that moment.
“Oops!”
Choyingokju Hang Yeoliang’s eyes widened as if they were torn apart.
She could see something penetrating her swollen abdomen.
It was so transparent that it was almost impossible to tell with the naked eye so it was clearly a sword.
‘Seo… no way… intangible….’
-Foot!
Before she could unleash her secret technique her abdomen was pierced and blood spurted into her throat as the sharp anticipation spread throughout her body.
At a similar moment Yang Jeong who was about to unleash his secret technique in Ji-maek’s Swordsmanship noticed something strange.
According to what she said Mu Qingyun should have been distracted by Yin Gong at least for a little while but there was no such thing.
rather
-Sigh!
Let’s aim the test paper downwards.
-Choo! Cham! Chop! Chop! Chop!
At the same time black rays of light began to rain down on the members of Nayuliang’s group.
‘!!!!!!’
The same was true for Yang Jeong who was throwing a new weapon at Mok Gyeong-un.
The speed of the extremely ferocious black beam of light was so fast that there was no time to dodge or escape.
-Chachachachachang!
“Huh!”
The secret sword technique of the ley line Jiryong Changcheon (地龍升天) had enough danger to blow away a small mountain peak but the moment the tangeomgangs were pierced he was unable to move his veins.
He fell straight to the ground.
-Kwakwakwauk!
That wasn’t enough.
Streams of black light struck in all directions and screams like screams of despair erupted here and there.
-Choo! Chop! Chop!
-Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
“Ouch!”
“Oops!”
Some executives thought it was just bravado to threaten but they were mistaken.
‘A monster…’
‘This is not human.’
They could not help but be astonished by the swords that cleverly flew at all the congregation except those kneeling.
-Wow! Wow!
Mo Gyeong-un’s forehead and the corners of his eyes were full of small blood vessels and his golden eyes were gazing at countless people causing tremendous vibration in an instant.
It was a computation and spatial awareness ability that was close to an impossible level no matter how enlightened the breadth of human thought was.
