Episode 907
The Demon’s Breath (2)
Makwon returned an hour after the fight broke out.
“her!”
Makwon sighed as he saw Yeonhojeong’s clothes becoming a bit harsher and his pale complexion a bit harsher.
“I am too late.”
“Iknow, right.”
“What happened to the enemies?”
“I defeated it. “It wasn’t annihilation, but if we fought any longer, the damage to our troops would have increased.”
Makwon nodded heavily.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked.
“How was it?”
“I looked at all the points you mentioned. “I looked a little further out just in case, but it wasn’t there.”
“As expected, it was like that.”
Makwon closed his eyes.
“As expected?”
Yeon Ho-jeong briefly shared the conversation he had with the fighting monks they had experienced.
“It seems that there were no magicians. “That clairvoyant-like technique was performed by a blood monk alone.”
Makwon sighed.
“I guess I fell for no reason.”
“You didn’t know. “Who would have imagined that I could perform such a ridiculous technique on my own?”
“That’s true, but I can’t help but feel regretful. “There was no reason for the head of the family to get hurt like that.”
The official shook his head.
“Those who live in the rivers must bear the battle that falls before them. There is no need for you to say that, Lord.”
Makwon smiled bitterly.
“I have nothing to say.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said.
“If you say sorry, I’ll be more sorry. “It was I who sent my brother to take out any possible magic forces.”
“If you say that, what am I?”
“That’s right.”
Makwon cleared his throat.
“Anyway, isn’t this the first time? “What was wrong with my younger brother’s prediction?”
“It’s not the first time. I made this mistake often. “It was rare, though.”
“hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said while stroking his chin.
“But that doesn’t mean there is no harvest.”
“harvesting?”
“Speaking of which, let’s rest a little longer and then go. “I hope the head of the family is having a good time too.”
Yeon Ho-jeong called the whole group. Even Cheon Hyorak and Hwahyang appeared.
“let’s see.”
He unfolded the map.
“Brother, this is where you came back from here, right?”
“After seeing that place, I looked a little more northeast of Nanju and came here.”
“I see.”
The group looked at Makwon with their mouths wide open. No matter how you look at it, it was not a distance worth exploring in such a short amount of time.
Makwon smiled sheepishly.
“It’s not that surprising. This is something that can be postponed. “If you put your mind to it, you can do it.”
Mukbi shook his head.
“It would have been impossible.”
“I heard your magic is very fast. It’s not much different from me. Just because there is no play doesn’t mean you can reach the new law faster. “The difference in speed of new techniques with a transcendental master is not that big.”
“Of course, there’s nothing you can’t do if you do it… but it would only be a shorter distance. This is because of the limit to the absolute amount of internal energy.”
“Maybe so. But the thing about inner strength….”
Yeon Ho-jeong raised his hand to stop Mak Won.
“You can talk about martial arts later.”
“Oh really?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed out a part of the map with his finger again.
“We are currently in this area. And that blood monk was inside. “Considering the way we came and the speed, we can say that the technique was used roughly in this area.”
A small circle drawn on a map.
“I don’t know how far alcohol is allowed. What I felt while fighting against them was that their martial arts skills were similar to those of Jungwon, but the texture was different.”
“Well, I guess so.”
“But handling energy is the same. “When you look at the limit of energy, no matter how much you think about it, the distance of a thousand miles is impossible.”
Everyone in the group nodded.
In the first place, it makes no sense to use magic to look into something that happened over a hundred miles away. This is a power that is almost like a reversal of heaven, which is not enough to even be called a divine technique.
Unless enlightenment reaches its peak and reaches the realm of immortality, ignoring this distance will be nearly impossible.
Cheon Hyorak blurted out.
“I don’t know if it’s possible, but it doesn’t mean that there is no way to truly see a thousand miles out.”
The group saw Cheon Hyorak.
Cheon Hyorak sighed.

“Among the magic arts, there are some things that are so monstrous that it is difficult for people in the Middle East to even imagine. “I haven’t seen it myself, but just from hearing about it, there are evil secret techniques that make me wonder if they are possible with normal human nature.”
“for example?”
“There are things that can increase the achievement of magical arts or maximize the power of magic by collecting the blood of vibrant men, women, and men.”
At that moment, a look of anger appeared on the faces of the group.
“It is said that most of those evil secret arts have disappeared now. However, it is said that until about 300 years ago, so-called demons often used such methods.”
“….”
“So, if you’re a demon, you’re shaking. Of course, this is not what I, a member of the Demonic Martial Forest, would say.”
There was silence for a moment.
It was Yeon Ho-jeong who broke the silence.
“for now.”
He pointed to the map.
“Let’s say the minimum distance is this. Regardless of whether it absorbs energy or not, this type of technique is not normal in the first place. “If Soreoeumsa had been able to freely use this level of magic, he wouldn’t have been confined to Seojang until now.”
Cheon Hyorak nodded.
“That is correct. To begin with, there are only a few people who can use the technique. “You can learn martial arts and martial arts, but if you don’t have talent for martial arts, you can’t even get into it.”
“Even if you have natural talent, it would be difficult to use this type of technique right away.”
“That is also true. When it comes to techniques, the basic technique is to use the divine energy of the Dandanjeon. I know that not only can I not use it freely, but it takes many years just to learn how to use it well. “Most people die while practicing.”
If you think about all this, Hyeolseung was also a great person. His martial arts skills were not much inferior to those of Seongcheon, and he was even able to use techniques such as clairvoyance.
Makwon asked while looking at Yeonhojeong.
“Do you think Soroeumsa’s monks can participate in the fight against Shinmarim?”
“I don’t think it will come, but that doesn’t mean the possibility is completely gone.”
Makwon nodded.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Anyway, thanks to my brother looking around this area, I was able to roughly infer the allowable distance for the technique.”
“It’s a distance you can’t be sure about.”
“How many things in the world can we be sure of? “Even this amount is a huge benefit.”
Paeyul was sarcastic, like a joke.
“You’re not making things up to cover up your own mistakes, are you?”
“There is nothing to be ashamed of, so why make it up? “I make a lot of mistakes too.”
“Good job.”
The faces of the group relaxed somewhat at Paeyul’s joke.
Yeon Ho-jeong asked Hwang Seok-tae.
“What is the condition of the one-armed b*stard?”
“I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
“Hmm.”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at the party hall.
Although Hwang Ryong-gi corrected some of the internal injuries, the internal injuries of a person living with tyranny cannot be easily corrected by anyone other than the person himself. The life of a German was one in which he had to bear as much responsibility as his outstanding killing power.
“Since the matriarch’s condition is also like this, I think we should dispose of the loot now.”
“Shall I bring you?”
“I know.”
After a while, the Daegeumbul Buddha was placed in front of the group. Even though I forced him to kneel, he still couldn’t come to his senses.
Yeon Ho-jeong slapped Daegeumbul on the cheek.
puck!
It wouldn’t be surprising if my head flew off just by hearing the sound. However, blood burst from his mouth and his body remained in a kneeling position.
“Ugh.”
Daegeumbul shook his head and opened his eyes.
“…!”
As his vision became blurry, Daegeumbul’s complexion turned white. Yeonhojeong was visible.
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“hi?”
“….”
“How are you feeling?”
Daegeumbul’s eyebrows trembled.
His eyes were full of venom as he silently glared at Yeon Ho-jeong. That venom was based on unconscious fear of the other person.
“One arm was blown off and internal injuries were deep. “I avoided the fatal acupuncture points, but a lot of the main acupuncture points needed for internal attack operation were destroyed.”
“….”
“If we clean it up for about ten years, it will be able to be restored to its original level. how is it? “Isn’t it hopeful?”
Daegeumbul spat blood-mixed spit and said.
“Kill it.”
“Then did you think I would save you?”
Daegumbul felt a chill running down his spine.
I had never even imagined that I would die this way.
He was a natural genius and a monk recognized by everyone in Daerei. I always lived looking up, but never looking down.
The moment I thought this situation really felt like a dream.
He suddenly remembered the words of the chief priest of Daeroeumsa Temple.
‘We grow up. A Buddhist’s duty is always upward. And above us are the footprints of countless people living on this earth. Therefore, we must share enlightenment with countless people and save the weeping people from suffering.’
It’s good to be absorbed in martial arts, but use that power to take care of the people.
That was the fate of the monks from Daeroeumsa Temple.
But Daegeumbul did not think so. The Daeroeumsa temple he saw was a rotten temple. This was because he thought that the people were not the next Buddhas, but lowly b*stards worse than even a single petal of a lotus flower.
And now he has become a flower petal.
“Of course I will kill you. You even mobilized fire bombs. “If the Iron Team had not arrived in time, our troops would have suffered significant damage.”
“….”
“But we can’t kill him now.”
Daegeumbul gritted his teeth.
“Even if you torture me, I won’t say anything.”
A strange look appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
Daegeumbul’s words were not simply the pledges of a poisonous person.
‘It’s strange.’
But I felt like I knew Daegeumbul’s personality.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“It seems so.”
“….”
“I knew it even while we were fighting. I filled you with loot, but I had no intention of finding out about Chief Murim through you. “It didn’t seem like he was going to get drunk.”
“…Then why?”
“For a businessman who doesn’t give you a cut of money, you have to trade with your future as collateral.”
“…?”
“Do you know where Shinmarim is?”
Daegeumbul swallowed his saliva.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“As expected, I know. If you know, then you can assume that everyone who is in the same company as you also knows. yes?”
“….”
“There must be a route they take. To get from Seojang to Jungwon, it is faster to cross Cheonghae than Sacheon. He must be very good at listening comprehension. Am I right?”
“I can tell you…”
“Lead them on a path they won’t follow. Then I will let you go.”
“…!!”
Daegeumbul swallowed again.
“How can you believe that?”
“It seems like there are a lot of braggarts at the police station. But there aren’t many people like that in the midfield.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes became as hard as steel.
“I will take responsibility and send it to you. how is it? Do you want to make a deal?”
Paeyul and Mukbi Makwon, who were standing behind, snorted inwardly.
“…good night. “I failed the mission anyway, so I’ll go with my life at least.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“I’m glad my brain is working well. Okay, let’s do that.”
The people who had snorted sighed in unison.
Daegeumbul’s future was obvious without even looking at it.
