Episode 235. A step towards a new world (7)
Watching Xu Liang leave Panmajeong, Li Cheon-sang climbed onto the pavilion. Before I knew it, a small table was set in the pavilion.
When you sit in your characteristic languid posture and lift a glass.
Jjaeng!
The glass fell. Fragments of broken wine glasses and spilled alcohol soiled the two heavenly clothes.
Lee Cheon-sang looked down at his hand.
His hands were shaking as if he had epilepsy.
‘I was overdoing it.’
Twenty years have passed since he transcended the extreme and entered the unknown.
People in the world call such a state Shinhwa-gyeong, and Lee Cheon-sang himself called it that, but in fact, it is an ambiguous state to even name.
It’s because you have to fly up to transcend ‘something’ at some point after deepening and deepening infinitely.
What is certain is that the moment you enter such a state, whether it is a myth or super demon, your gong power increases rapidly like an inexhaustible sea.
The history of the extreme horse is also terrifying, but this level was completely different.
To capture the true universe in the human body. A state where even the principles of the universe are made fun of with infinite air power.
Even for Cheon-Sang Lee, who possessed such vast energy, it was difficult to smelt magic swords.
‘I was born as a human and called a god, but I can’t truly show the power of a god.’
There is a class in the so-called new byeonggi (神兵異器).
In the case of the meteor twin swords that Xu Liang carried, they had overwhelming sharpness, but it is unreasonable to call them true recruits.
The Young Demon Sword (永魔劍) carried by Jin Kwan-yong and the Mukwang Sword (默王劍), Ma Dong-pil’s favorite soldier, can be said to be the real recruits.
On the surface, they seem to be outdone by the twin swords of the meteor, but if they show their hidden power, they are the cavalry that can shake the laws of nature.
Of course, it is difficult to find one person in a generation who can draw out such energy.
The magic sword made by Lee Cheon-sang can also be a weapon of that level.
When viewed from the realm of sorcery or taoism, Lee Cheon-sang did something similar to the ancient banseons that contained demons or gods in weapons.
It is not really a human ability. He is not a god or a freshman, but he is not lacking enough to be called a transcendent.
The problem was that as he injected energy as deep as the sea into the blade, his energy was excessively weakened.
There was no problem injecting air power, but sealing that air power deep into the blade was difficult even for Lee Cheon-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang waved his hand.
Chii profit!
The alcohol evaporated and the broken glass scattered into powder.
Lee Cheon-sang, who took out another glass and filled it with alcohol, laughed at the sudden thought.
“Has change come to me too?”
The third person, no, the successor, who was here just now, came to mind.
He, who had not given affection to any of his disciples except for Kogu, gave him a sword and gave him enlightenment.
Up to that point, it was surprising enough, but now that he was the successor, it wasn’t enough that he handed down martial arts, he even smelted the horsemen.
Lee Cheon-sang was not that kind of person. Gods only go to work alone, and do not use much effort for someone else.
“If I’ve changed, it’s because of him, too.”
When I first saw the third, I just thought it was useful.
I was disappointed to see the process of growing up, and when I said that I was interested in it afterwards, there was no special inspiration.
But when the third, out of the mouth, confronted himself.
He realized that something in the third had changed greatly.
Perhaps even if he hadn’t brought him to Panmajeong, he would have been able to fully see through the disciple’s change.
That’s how big the change was. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a transformation.
Such Seo-ryang rose to the extreme, and soon won the victory in the succession fight and became the minor schoolmaster.
I can’t say I didn’t have my own predilections. In the first place, the fact that he and his disciple danced together means that Lee Cheon-sang has great interest and affection for Seo-ryang.
However, the teaching itself was transparent. The lean meat was thrown away, but it was entirely Xu Liang’s ability to cook it.
Perhaps Lee Cheon-sang also wanted to confirm it through such a process.
Is he really trustworthy or can I put my hopes on him?
Whether his belief in humans is still there, or whether it has already disappeared.
“Iwangjisa, this is what happened, so fly away.”
A faint smile appeared on Lee Cheon-sang’s face as he emptied his glass coolly. A little tired and tired, but on the other hand, it was a very relieved expression.
“Thirty years of reduction in external activities… … As a god, it was a wait to finish everything, but I think you can take on that role.”
* * *
“I stayed up three nights.”
“… … .”
“Doesn’t that sound like a lie? Really. I waited without sleeping for three days.”
Seo Liang’s expression became awkward.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it would take this long.”
Ho Yo-seong snorted. He had a pouty expression, but judging from the darkened eyes, it seemed that he was really waiting.
“So, what did you talk about so interestingly for three days?”
“Nothing was said.”
“But why three days… … Eh?”
It was only then that he saw the knife hanging from Xu Liang’s back. At first glance, the blade, wrapped in black cloth, looked enormous.
“What is that?”
“This is a new sword made by the headmaster.”
“The headmaster made the sword?”
“yes.”
“You melted the four knives you originally had?”
“That’s right.”

Ho Yo-seong shook his head.
“I don’t know much about martial arts… … Is that possible?”
“I also saw this for the first time.”
“hmm.”
He scanned the book up and down.
The look in the eyes of the next leader was rude enough to be unimaginable, but Xu Liang didn’t seem displeased at all.
“For some reason, you seem much more relaxed than three days ago… … .”
“Is that so.”
“Have you been taught? The reigning demon emperor.”
Seo Liang sighed.
“I can’t stand the general military’s notice.”
“Is there anything to notice? Since you have become a minor teacher, you should be taught. I just passed it over.”
A small surprise bloomed on Ho Yo-seong’s face.
“On the contrary, I was surprised. Did you understand it all in three days?”
“How can I say that I understand everything? I only figured out how it works, and I just memorized the rest.
There were so many martial arts skills that I thought my head was cramping.”
Seo Liang touched his chin. It was a look of concern.
“It’s definitely an amazing magic trick. Unlike Ku Yuma Gong, it is very systematic.
At the same time, the difficulty level is one step higher than that of Gu Yumagong… … This must be the real perfect martial arts.”
In an instant, focus on the reigning demon. Rather than saying his concentration is good, it must mean that the reigning mawanggi is impressive.
Ho Yo-seong’s eyes softened.
‘He’s such an amazing person.’
His level of martial arts was not high, but he had read quite a bit of magic.
The eyes of a genius do not discriminate between martial arts and martial arts. Excluding Lee Cheon-sang, the person who has analyzed the most of Shinkyo’s magical arts must have been Ho Yo-seong.
So he could see how great Xi Liang’s ability was.
‘Where did you get this talent? No, can this simply be called a talent?’
Even if it’s just a teenager’s magic, it’s a magic art of the highest level that most people can’t achieve greatness even if they hang on to it for the rest of their lives.
Furthermore, the reigning Mawanggi is the ruler of all demonic powers in the world and the history itself that supported the thousand-year magic.
You figured out the operating principles of such magic arts in just three days?
‘It’s impossible with only martial arts and analytical skills. It is to see through the essence of martial arts instinctively. It is clear that the sense itself is on a different level from that of any other warrior.’
Ho Yo-seong smiled.
“Isn’t it really amazing?”
“What do you mean?”
“When I see the young schoolmaster, I feel like the vanguard of an organization or a decisive weapon.
I don’t know what to say, but the martial arts are so prominent that it doesn’t seem to fit the position of a leader.”
Seo Liang grinned.
“I think so too. I’m already frustrated.”
“You said that, so I have nothing to say.”
Ho Yo-seong said while brewing tea.
“Oh, and feel free to talk.”
“Is that so?”
“… … It’s a frighteningly fast change.”
“For some reason, I don’t want to use honorific words for the general.”
“Kyahaha!”
After leaving the car, Ho Yo-seong took out a map from his pocket.
“Look.”
“What is this?”
“This is a map of Shaanxi. Even the small byways around the adjacent castle are described in detail.”
Xu Liang, who was about to say he didn’t need it, soon accepted the map.
I was quick about the north of the Yangtze River. However, it is only a memory from when he was King Sal, and it is normal for Seo Liang not to know about it now.
“Received well.”
“So, did the headmaster allow it?”
“of course.”
“great. But there is one problem.”
“What problem?”
“Due to the nature of this job, no visible escorts can be attached. Of course not.
The north of the Yangtze River is the territory of the Uicheon Alliance, so if they see a large number of demons in their eyes, an emergency will occur immediately.
It could be much more dangerous than sending a lot of escorts.”
No matter how strong Xu Liang’s martial arts is, he cannot fight the Uicheon Meng alone. Even if only two teenage masters gather together, their lives could be in danger.
“On the other hand, poor escorts are a problem. If the enemy’s information network detects the young master, troops will be dispatched immediately.
I wouldn’t touch it, but I wouldn’t leave it alone either.”
“I guess so.”
“What would you like to do? Would you like to just go with a minimal escort?”
Seo Liang smiled.
“It’s enough for Dongpil to go with me.”
“Wouldn’t that be a bit dangerous?”
“Besides, I have two more escorts that are as good as Dongpil.”
“… … ah!”
Ho Yo-seong looked at Seo-ryang with new eyes.
“What is that spirit creature? I know that the fearsome tiger is a monster ‘created’ by the beast archer, but I don’t know about the other one. Also from the Beast Palace?”
“no.”
“sure.”
“He’s just my friend.”
Ho Yo-seong was at a loss as to how to react to this remark that seemed to have given up his human dignity.
“what… … Either way, it’s risky. Besides, it would be prudent for those two spirit creatures not to show themselves carelessly. It stands out too much.”
“That too.”
After struggling for a while, Xu Liang grinned.
“Well, I don’t think we need to go the hard way.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Whatever it is, shouldn’t it be as long as we can safely enter Shaanxi?”
“I see… … together Are there any other tricks?”
“A graveyard? Well, I wouldn’t call it a trick, but… … Can’t we just achieve our goal somehow?”
Ho Yo-seong felt a bit uneasy.
“Little Master.”
“huh?”
“It’s kind of a shame to say this, but it’s a completely different matter to have an accident at the main school and to have an accident outside. You know?”
“Of course you know.”
“Yes. I’m glad you know. So, what do you plan to do?”
“Don’t you think we’ve been forgetting about one group for too long?”
“Are you a iron-blooded horse?”
“Ehehe, if you get involved with them now, the problem will be bigger.”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
“I wrote it down as a hostage, but there is one person I call a guest in my quarters. I’ve been playing around for a while, but I’ll have to use this opportunity very well.”
* * *
“Mmm.”
“Why are you like that?”
“Oh, it’s a bit cold.”
“Are you cold?”
Aenghwa put saliva on her index finger and stirred the air.
“Although it has become quite cool, it is still hot, isn’t it? Besides, this is the South, sister.”
“know. I know… … .”
Yeo Sang-rin trembled.
“Is it because of the mood?”
