Episode 282. Demon’s Extreme (2)
“uh?”
Seo Liang looked around.
It was a desolate cliff. It seemed like I remembered it, but it was a little unfamiliar.
‘What is this place?’
In an instant, Xi Liang could remember where this place was.
It wasn’t a place I had actually been to. But it was a place he had created.
At the time of the last dance with Lee Chun-sang.
The scene created by Panmajeong was like this when I opened the third gate of hell after tearing off the golden horseman’s manap in the two heavens. Soaring heights, desolate cliffs with nothing around.
‘Hmm.’
Seo Liang stroked his chin.
‘Right. this is a dream Like a nightmare back then.’
Yes.
This is the same kind of nightmare that saw the corpses of Ma Dong-pil, Yeo Sang-rin, and Aeng-hwa. With only two experiences, Xiliang was able to realize that a dream is a dream.
‘But why all of a sudden?’
At that time, I saw a person at the edge of the cliff.
I don’t know when it appeared. I don’t even know if it was there from the beginning.
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
“Sir.”
Li Cheon-sang, hands behind his back, looked back at Seo-ryang.
“This way.”
Lee Cheon-sang in my dream speaks to me.
I knew it was an illusion, but the undeniable dignity was still there. Xu Liang walked beside Li Tian-sang.
Lee Cheon-sang did not look back at Seo-ryang. Still looking down at the cliff with his hands behind his back, his characteristic bored expression appeared on his face.
Seo Liang asked.
“What is it?”
It was a question that raised many questions.
Li Cheon-sang seemed well aware of the meaning of Xu Liang’s question. His eyes and expression proved it.
However, his answer was somewhat out of line with Xu Liang’s question.
“There is no end to demons. It just gets bigger and deeper.
In the end, if the limit is until the human vessel that holds the demon in the body can no longer endure, then it must be the limit. In other words, the end of evil is ultimately determined by human nature.”
It was a difficult word to understand. It’s not even an answer to the question.
However, Xi Liang listened to Li Chun-sang’s words. Even though I know that this is an illusion.
“It is natural for a person to be a vessel. I can’t increase it any time soon. But you were originally closer to death than to the devil.
You already expanded the bowl at the time you created the magical arts yourself.”
“… … .”
“Is what was possible once impossible twice?”
Xi Liang’s eyes deepened.
“You mean I was suppressing the growth of the Reign Demon King?”
Lee Cheon-sang did not answer.
He looked down at the cliff, then raised his head and looked up at the sky.
“I didn’t get a glimpse of the extreme either.”
It was something he could say because he was in heaven, but it didn’t suit him very well.
“I can still contain more. Even at this moment, I am getting stronger.
Until I set limits, as long as I keep my feet on this earth, I will be infinitely strong.”
For a moment, Xian Liang felt a sense of dread.
It was a dream, but it was also a reality at the same time. His impression of Lee Cheon-sang created his present appearance.
So what Lee Cheon-sang said now was true.
It was because Xu Liang, who had risen to the extreme, could not defeat Li Chun-sang yet, but he could guess his level to some extent.
“You are far away.”
“I know.”
“The reigning demon is undoubtedly the best magician in the world. If you hadn’t set limits, he wouldn’t have had to suffer from such a gross fraud.”
Seo Liang filed a complaint.
“Is that so.”
At the same time as the words of Lee Cheon-sang, they were also words uttered by his own heart. In other words, he was subconsciously aware that he was setting limits.
“Don’t set limits. You are the first Heavenly Demon (天魔) to have created two Absolute Demonic Attacks.
The road you walk is that you have no choice but to pass. A person who has embarked on such a path will never be able to achieve greatness if he draws a limit on himself, even if he cannot be more greedy.”
weird.
He doesn’t feel his sincerity in these words. Besides, he himself knows nothing about the Heavenly Demons of the past.
Then who is saying this?
“Come up and come up again. If you don’t come up properly, the people you serve will die because of you. Like the members of the Shinmakai, who were my brother-in-law.”
In an instant, Xu Liang’s eyes widened.
What came to mind after hearing Lee Cheon-sang’s words was a nightmare from before. In that nightmare, the three men and women were dead with horrible faces.
“Please, I hope you can embrace the things I couldn’t embrace.”
“yes?”
Wheein.
The two heavenly statues disappeared along with a gust of wind.
At the same time, the world collapsed.

“hmm? Are you awake?”
Seo Liang narrowed his eyes.
I saw an unfamiliar ceiling. The sun shining through the window stung my eyes, but it didn’t bother my vision.
“here is… … ?”
“Where do you think it is?”
Seo Liang turned his head.
I saw Namgungdan with his hands behind his back. The well-dressed blue-and-white outfit went very well with him.
Seo Liang said calmly.
“Are you Namgung?”
Namgungdan burst out laughing.
“Seo Jiao is truly a great person. His heart, which does not panic at all even after waking up after ten days, is amazing.”
“Has ten days passed?”
“exactly. The senator visited several times, but he said he had nothing to do. They say that since he can fully recover on his own, he just needs to nurse by his side.”
“If so, the head of the family?”
“It could be. I stopped by once by chance, and just in time the small school was awakened. The swordsman who worked with Sogyo has been guarding you all this time.”
“hmm.”
Seo Liang erected his upper body.
I felt a dull pain. Her chest was heavy, and the skin on her stomach felt like it would tear.
Whoops.
He used internal energy to loosen his muscles.
‘It’s fortunate.’
The veins weren’t normal, but they weren’t dangerous either. The blood flow was also quite clear, and the flow of energy was also normal. It was in worse condition than I thought.
“If you do, what about Dongpil?”
“Stand outside the door. You must be listening to our conversation right now.”
When I opened my senses, I could definitely feel a presence outside the door.
However, the sign is very secretive. It was not intentionally hiding his presence, but it felt like Magi had captured it on his own.
Seo Liang said.
“come in.”
drooling.
The door opened and Ma Dong-pil entered.
he knelt down
“Are you awake?”
“sorry. Were you worried?”
“Yes, I was worried.”
Ma Dong-pil raised his head and smiled calmly.
“But I never doubted that it would happen.”
Seo Liang smiled.
“Are you a bit big?”
“I learned everything from the Little Master.”
A deep affection flows through the joke-like conversation.
Namgungdan was subtly surprised.
‘Is the conversation between the young schoolmaster and the escort warrior correct?’
Xu Liang’s words and actions were enough to completely change the impression of Ma Yin.
But I didn’t know that there would be so much intimacy between the two.
I heard that the relationship between the superiors and subordinates of the Cheonma Shinkyo is much stricter than that of the midfield Murim, and they do not dare to raise their heads in front of superiors.
They were amazing in many ways.
Xu Liang got up from his seat and took a fist.
“Thanks to you, I have been greatly blessed. thank you.”
Namgungdan slightly twisted his body.
“It is an embarrassing greeting. I just did my duty as a strong man.”
“There will be problems with Namgung’s reputation in the future.”
“I am not the only one who has lived a life dependent on reputation. I’ve just lived by my convictions, and I always will. So you have nothing to thank me for.”
I’m talking plainly, but in reality, I’m not the only one who’s worried. This is because the owner of a family cannot simply proceed according to his beliefs.
Seoryang knew it, and Namgungdan also knew it. No matter what, in the end, it was clear that Namgungdan was not used to being thanked by someone.
“Even if it’s not necessary, there are other things to be thankful for.”
“hmm?”
“Didn’t you cut down the source of the fraud? If it wasn’t for the power of the family head… … .”
“Still, Su Qiao would not have died.”
Xu Liang looked directly at Namgungdan.
Namgungdan shook his head.
“I have been polishing my sword nonstop until this day, but I have not reached the level achieved by Sogyo Seo.
However, I take pride in my ability to see martial arts, even compared to that teenage master. From my point of view, Suh Xiaoqiao was someone who could handle that scam.”
It was not wrong.
Xiliang’s body boasts indestructible strength. This means that it is not only rigid, but also flexible enough.
Before the body truly disintegrates, the realization that came to the body would have instantly found a way to evaporate or accept the morale.
It means that even if it wasn’t for Namgungdan’s help, he wouldn’t have died.
but.
“My people could have been harmed in my madness. Furthermore, the swordsman of your family was almost swept away.”
That was the problem.
Xu Liang would not have died, but if he hadn’t taken care of it in time, Ma Dong-pil and Yeo Sang-rin, who were nearby, and even Namgung’s swordsmen would not have been spared if they made a mistake.
In other words, it was as if Namgungdan did not save the lives of Xiliang, but the lives of Xiliang and his party.
“Anyway, since everyone lived, that was it. I don’t really want to be judged.”
“Well, since you said that, I won’t do any more gold lacquer.”
Namgungdan burst into laughter. It seemed that he was amused by the vocabulary of Xi Liang, which exquisitely crosses between sincerity and joke.
“Your body may not be normal yet. You came to the home of Governor Lee Wangji, so you should rest until you recover before you go.”
“I will not forget the consideration of the head of the household.”
“then.”
Namgungdan left the room.
Seo Liang slumped down on the bed.
“I feel sore.”
“You lie down. I will bring you a meal.”
“Yes, I am hungry.”
Seo Liang peeked through the door.
“Isn’t that great?”
“yes?”
“I mean Namgung’s family.”
Ma Dong-pil nodded.
“I thought there was nothing greater than martial arts. However, I changed my mind when I saw Namgung Ga-joo.”
Even if he later encounters Namgungdan as an enemy, he will never be able to point his sword at him due to his personality. Because he owes his life and heart.
In other words, it was as if Namgung Dan had already defeated Seo Liang, who was stronger than himself.
“That is the true path. To defeat an opponent with the mind before facing the sword.
As long as Namgung’s temper doesn’t dull, Namgung’s family will be able to leap forward once again.”
Ma Dong-pil smiled.
“Apart from that, I want to share the sword with Namgung Family.”
“I will be a great opponent for you now. Come to think of it, did you open the sword of King Mu?”
“Ah, yes. I happened to… … .”
“It is you. It is not something that can be unlocked by accident.”
Seo Liang glanced at the corner.
The Cheonmado was placed on a long pedestal. No demonic energy could be sensed from Yoyohan’s purple-black sword.
‘It’s a troublesome thing.’
It seemed that the balance between the internal and external qi was somehow struck. The peacefully sleeping Cheonmado looked more antique than any weapon in the world.
“Oh, but what about cherry blossoms?”
“Otherwise, I contacted Haomen. We will arrive at Namgungga in about two days.”
“good. What about Sangrin?”
“I am resting. I have suffered a lot of internal injuries and am undergoing treatment. Fortunately, the recovery is fast.”
Anyway, everyone was safe.
A thick layer of tiredness hung over Shi Liang’s face. After confirming the safety of everyone in the party, fatigue set in.
“Phew, I’m dying.”
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to rest for two or three days.
