Episode 255. The Magic Technique is Completed
The inside of the room was gloomy.
It wasn’t just that there were so many corpses.
A situation where hundreds of people, each wearing their own weapons, were lying dead━and yet there was no trace of a fierce battle or the desperation of those struggling to survive until the end, so that kind of atmosphere seemed to be flowing.
Although countless people had died, it was difficult to imagine a scene where the words ‘massacre’ or ‘slaughter’ came to mind. Most of the corpses had just a few burrows stuck in them.
It’s more like a sudden outbreak of an epidemic that caused mass deaths. You can tell just by looking at their darkened skin.
There were only a few survivors left. At best, they could be counted on two hands.
That would be the case, as the secret art of mass murder that Geomshin had created to hide his own swordsmanship skills – Oxhair Needle Rain (牛毛針雨) – poured down in a wide area while covered in the highly toxic Danjangyeoljidok, and just after that, the light purple Poisonous Drizzle (毒飄) based on Danjangyeoljidok also swept the surrounding area in a wide area.
Even the poison of the double-edged sword, which was classified as the most vicious of the poisons of the Danggasip, was added to the poison of the Yi Maemangryang hearing. If it had not been for an exceptional achievement, it would not have been possible to avoid death if even one of the Umochims had been embedded in the body. It would have been the same even if the timing of the breath had not been good. It would have been very likely that it would have ended in this world.
In a situation where there were very few survivors, there was a woman who was uniquely intact.
The Demon Baek So-yeon━ She stood among the corpses and could not help but be astonished.
‘The four ultimate masters are so vain… …!’
Since ancient times, those who were able to control the energy of the spirit by infusing their will into it were considered peerless masters and were treated with great respect by all forces, regardless of whether they were good, evil, or demonic.
If one has mastered the martial arts of the right way (正道) that follows the principle of virtuous conduct, or the evil way (邪道) that does not deviate from the right way in one’s own way, one is said to have reached the realm of creation (造化境). If one has completely mastered the evil way (魔道) that follows the principle of retrograde conduct, one is said to have reached the realm of extreme evil (極魔之境). In the entire world, there were usually no more than twenty beings who reached this realm in one generation.
Even in the case of the powerful clans, the families established by the long-standing great factions or the clans with innate talent for martial arts – meaning that it was difficult for the old factions or the five great families before their downfall to continuously produce such skilled people.
The same goes for the Cheonma Shingyo, which can be called the headquarters of the demonic world. Excluding the leader who has inherited the Cheonma Shingong from generation to generation and will surely reach the realm after a reasonable amount of time, only a very small number of people have reached the extreme demonic realm. There was even a time when all the positions of Gwangmyeong Jwawoosa were vacant. Since the logic of the strong being respected is accepted as a kind of ideology in the demonic world, to take on the role of Gwangmyeong Jwawoosa, which traditionally has authority second only to the leader, one had to have the appropriate amount of authority.
The Heavenly Demon Sect has always been considered to have the strongest level of power as a single sect, but that was due to the characteristics of the Magical Martial Arts. Once you are born with a body suitable for the magical energy, you can achieve a certain level of rapid achievement without having to delve too deeply into the mysterious principles or inherent mysteries of the Magical Arts.
In other words, it is made to become ingrained in the body and become natural – embodiment, or acquisition, is the common essence of the martial arts of magic.
In other words, it meant that it was extremely difficult to enter the realm of ascending by entering the world of magic without a certain level of physical strength. Furthermore, the Mine people were those who had acquired the reverse martial arts and were destined to always be in danger of being possessed by demons. It was extremely rare for them to live long lives.
Compared to those who have mastered the martial arts of the Circulation Path, there is no time to spare, so it is inevitable that, despite the overall strength of the Cheonmasingyo, there are few demons who have reached the level of the peerless.
As far as Baek So-yeon of Ma knows, the reason why the world of magic has not been established until now is because the number of Hwagyeong masters held by the Jeongdo forces is insufficient compared to the number of extreme demon masters of the religion. The fact that the Jeongma War was planned today was due to the appearance of Yu Gil-jun, the Black Lotus Master who unified the Sado forces into one. Didn’t he use personal grudges to reduce the old faction to six factions in one fell swoop? Thanks to that, Ma Gwang-cheon was able to establish himself in the center of the Central Plains and grow his power.
anyway.
Against this backdrop, a master of the Extreme Demon Realm is bound to be a very valuable force. Just look at the decision that the leader of the cult, Yeon Mu-yeol, made regarding the matter of the evil demon Yang Moon-chan. Although he was not a direct descendant, he killed a child who was almost certainly of the Yeonga bloodline, thereby making Yang Moon-chan a figure of the cult. This is because he predicted that he would eventually reach the Extreme Demon Realm, given his ability to quickly master the Immortal Demon Art.
However, in this place, four new mines that reached the extreme were born.
Death Magic Sword Gu In-ryeong
Blue Blood Demon Claw Yuk Jinmyeong
Hongyeomnachalgeom (Red Flame Nachalgeom) Son Yeon-su
Blue Eye Fighter Hwang Ja-gyu
These are the people who succeeded in jumping over the wall in an instant, using the semi-forcibly deployed reverse blood magic as a springboard. The other elder mines were unable to break through the Imdokyang vein and had to face death, but in any case, it wasn’t all bad for the sect. Four peerless masters who had an absolute influence on the battle had increased. Rather, it had to be seen as a considerable gain.
However, it didn’t take long for Ma Baek So-yeon to change her mind.
The head of the Sacheondang family, who had just finished descending with the pouring rain, created a purple whirlwind through the palm of his hand and trapped Son Yeon-su, Gu In-ryeong, and Hwang Ja-gyu so that they could not escape. The skill of blocking their escape route was extraordinary, as if watching a skilled swordsman.
It wasn’t hard to guess why the elder demons were trying to escape. Baek So-yeon had also seen the Blue Blood Demon Emperor Yu Jin-myeong lose consciousness and undergo a transformation just before.
A brief standoff.
Soon, following Yuk Jin-myeong, Gu In-ryeong and Hwang Ja-gyu also began to transform, and lastly, Son Yeon-su appeared to have lost consciousness, with a dark red light flowing from her body.
Only then did the Sogaju of Sacheondangga, the lord of the small house, release the siege. It seemed as if he had been waiting for this moment. Then he took a step and approached the first of the transformed Blue Blood Demons, Yu Jinmyeong.
Defenseless━ It was an impression that flashed through Baek So-yeon’s mind. As the transformation began, the self-defense energy that naturally arose was protecting Yuk Jin-myeong’s entire body, but wasn’t the opponent someone who could effectively strike through even the self-defense energy?
Baek So-yeon turned her head for a moment and looked at the leader, Yeon Mu-yeol. She was still muttering incomprehensible words while holding a bundle of yellow talismans in her hand. It seemed like she had no interest in what was happening to the followers.
It doesn’t make sense. The four elder mines who have reached the extreme level with great difficulty are now defenseless as they undergo a complete transformation. Considering the importance of the existence of the extreme masters in the upcoming Jeongma War, and considering the case of the poisoned demon Yang Moon-chan, it is strange that Yeon Mu-yeol does not try to save the elder mines even after seeing them in danger.
‘… … Surely you’re not using them to gain a little bit of free time, are you?’
Baek So-yeon suddenly thought of a family and shook her head inwardly.
Based on the reverse blood magic, several of the elder demons reached the extreme level of demonic power, and the leader of the Jeongcheon cult, Yuan Ming, would immediately try to eliminate those who had become a new threat to the power, and in the process, he would naturally mobilize his energy and consume his psychic power and internal energy. If all of this were according to the intention of the cult leader Yeon Mu-yeol, who did not intervene until the end, it would mean that hundreds of followers, including four extreme demon masters, were sacrificed just to complete the magic technique.
‘That can’t be true.’
Baek So-yeon denied the assumption she had made and watched the situation. Yuk Jin-myeong, who was transforming his body while wearing a self-defense power ━ In front of him, there were still no signs of the power manifesting from Yu Sang-myeong. He was just holding a purple whirlwind in both hands.
‘You intend to harm them with poison!’
Baek So-yeon widened her eyes when she saw that Dang-myeong raised one hand with an indifferent expression. She had already noticed that the purple whirlwind that arose from his long heart was a poisonous mist. Even the powerful magic masters, including Yeon Mu-yeol’s receiving signal guards, had died after coming into contact with the poison mark.
But who would have thought that he would easily kill the elder minions who had reached the extreme with that poison?
The breath of the best masters is very deep. Usually, they can continue attack and defense for a long time with a short breath, and since they surround their entire body with self-defense qi, they are not susceptible to poison. They also possess extremely sensitive qi senses, and can even block the approach of poison floating in the air by emitting qi waves.
However, the current elder mines are in a situation where they are going through a once-in-a-lifetime transformation due to the aftermath of passing through the gates of life and death. They are unconscious and cannot control their bodies, so they cannot control their breathing. Rather, deep breathing will hasten the addiction.
just as expected.
Not long after Dangsangmyeong raised one hand, Yuk Jinmyeong’s face turned pale and died. That was natural. Although it is said that the transformation has its own regenerative powers, the poison that formed the basis of the purple poison was the poison of the Danjangyeolji poison, which was the most vicious of all the poisons of the Tang family. It was a poison that was even more extreme than the five poisons, Saljohwa, which could kill even the best of Hwagyeong if only it could induce poisoning. This was the reason why the breath of the Blue Blood Demon Emperor Yuk Jinmyeong was cut off so easily at this moment.
It took only two breaths.
Bam.
The self-defense spirit disappears, and the body of an old man who had been in the middle of a transformation rolls around on the ground. In a world where the logic of the strong is taken for granted, he has finally reached the ranks of the truly strong, but he has died in vain before he could properly enjoy that position.
“… … !!”
In the midst of the shocking sight, Baek So-yeon unconsciously held her breath. If this were to happen, the lives of the elder minions would be worthless. They would not be able to significantly reduce the enemy’s power, nor would they be able to create much room for themselves. There would be no gains, only losses.
Immediately after Yuk Jin-myeong’s death.
Danmyung glanced at Yeonmuyeol and then took a step forward. His eyes seemed to be waiting to see how long he would continue to recite magic spells while his precious troops, who had reached the extreme, were dying helplessly.
The steps of the peerless master were quick.
Next, the next thing that Dang-myeong did was to point his hand at Gu In-ryeong, the demon horse, and Hwang Ja-gyu, the demon horse. One in each hand – a purple whirlwind covered the faces of the two. After three more breaths, Gu In-ryeong and Hwang Ja-gyu also lost their self-defense energy and passed away.
Thud.
Two corpses lying around in a careless manner – In the case of Gu In-ryeong, all of his hair fell out and he died right before it grew back, so he looked a bit bizarre. His hair, eyebrows, and beard were all gone, and his entire body looked smooth.
After dealing with those two people, Yu Sang-myeong approached Hongyeonnachalgeom Son Yeon-su, who was finally starting to transform. She was absorbed in the physical transformation with her eyes closed, and her facial muscles kept twitching, whether she had lost consciousness or not. Regardless, Yu Sang-myeong put a poison mark on her as well. This time, it seemed like she was resisting quite a bit, and it took several breaths, but Son Yeon-su also could not avoid death.
Considering the status that the ultimate master had in the martial arts world, it was an extremely vain end. He was not even affected by the power of the spirit, but was helplessly defeated by mere poison.
anyway.
It was right after all the elder demons were exiled.
The lips of the cult leader Yeon Mu-yeol, who had devoted himself to perfecting his magic, even ignoring their lives, trembled.
“Reverse Sealing Dragon Formation (易行封龍陣)━解 (解).”
