Episode 52
How long will you last
Of course, that doesn’t mean the outcome was overwhelming.
Gwangpungmu is a martial art that invests everything into overwhelming speed and destructive power.
Here, I used my internal energy to amplify the power of the Demonic Cannon, and I even added the skills of the perfected Bokho Shipipbak.
But still, I couldn’t seem to find an opportunity to win.
Clearly, the odds seemed to be tilted in my favor for the time being, but this was only the result of Baek San’s confusion at not knowing that I could use this type of martial arts.
After some time had passed and he had become aware of my martial arts level, Narakdo’s movements began to gain more and more momentum.
One by one, scratches began to appear on the once strong hand.
The demon who had been giving strength to the demonic war was swept away by the cold wind and his movements became increasingly slower.
The air has become cold.
So hard that it was hard to breathe.
It was a result of his understanding of martial arts being far superior.
The guy is such an excellent master that he raised Gu Min-chae to be a magician.
It’s too much for me to overwhelm right now.
“Wow! Even though your body must have been completely destroyed, you still have this much skill.”
“Isn’t it already a well-known fact that the second son of the Northern Sea Lord, the demon, is second only to Jang in skill among the other demons?”
“But the young sect leader… is smiling.”
Still, it was fun.
The fact that I can test my skills in this way and see new possibilities for development.
Martial arts was such a mysterious world to me.
There was something that kept getting stronger and stronger.
No matter how high you climb, there is always more to climb.
He learned Rannachal from Danggon, and while perfecting the Bokhosipidipak, he created the Bokhosipidipang.
For the first time, a flaw was revealed in the way that the realization was completely expressed in the form of a sharp wind.
It wasn’t just something that was visible.
The more I divided Baeksan and Sonsok, the deeper they seemed.
It was a situation that made me laugh out loud.
Until I created the Bokho Shiptie Spear with my own hands, I thought there was nothing more to develop.
Completion (完成) means complete in itself, so if it encounters a limitation, I thought it was an innate limitation of the Bokho Sipibak, which was originally a practical martial art of ronin.
But that wasn’t it.
There was still a lot of room for improvement in the Bokho Shibaku and Bokho Shibaku spears.
No, there was still a huge room for evolution.
For the first time, I was able to understand why not all martial arts end with the completion of the Ten Stars, but why there are Twelve Stars and Greater Stars.
The Twelve Great Stars were the realms where one could take fully acquired martial arts to a new level.
When meeting a master with outstanding skills, the weaknesses of the Bokho Shipi Spear naturally appeared, and it became necessary to think about how to complement these weaknesses and further develop them.
In my head, countless martial arts secrets from the Heavenly Demon Sword flashed through my mind one after another.
Should I take one out of these?
I thought about it for a moment, but then shook my head.
No it wasn’t.
If you try to fill in the gaps by borrowing ideas from other places, it will end up looking strange and patchy like rags.
If that were the case, the original intention of creating the Bombosipipak would have been ruined.
Intention.
Intention was everything.
I had to look back and see what kind of mindset the creator of Bokhosipbak had when he created Bokhosipbak.
And I had to reassemble it in a new direction, varying it to fit my current situation.
In my head, the twelve bombs were dismantled one by one.
The beginning and the end were separated, and the end was again broken down into units of form and movement.
After dividing and dividing like that, in the end, only Rannachal remained in the Bokhosipbak.
After going around and around, it was Lannachal again.
Lannachal is the most basic technique in the 18-point weapon system.
The actions are limited to pushing the window outward(?), pulling it inward and pressing it (拿), and stabbing it and counterattacking(?).
But even this was ultimately a way of handling long weapons, so I broke it down into small pieces here.
The movements and shapes were also split.
After countless cuts, what emerges are things that cut, stab, and swing.
And here again, after breaking it down into smaller pieces, only one thing remained.
-I.
It was ‘me’ who held, felt, and wielded the weapon.
In the end, the Ranna Chaldo, the 18-Panchang technique, and the martial arts are nothing more than tools to express and expand ‘me’.
As I thought about it, a new world suddenly began to appear before my eyes.
Every single movement Baek San makes is reflected as a world of subtle movements and a world of expressions he wants to display.
The self that Baeksan wanted to express was Seolpung (Snow Wind).
The blizzard is very fast, fierce and sharp.
Anyone who fails to pass through here will be buried in a snowdrift and freeze to death.
I tried to imitate that kind of wind.
Right now, I’m still lacking in enlightenment, so it’s hard for me to create my own new Bokhosipdipak.
In that case, it would have been much better to steal and imitate others and then gradually come up with something of my own.
Moreover, Baeksan’s Ice White Magic is a magic technique, not a spear technique.

It was the closest to the swordsmanship I ultimately wanted to achieve.
Shhhhhh!
The Wild Tiger Twelve Strikes became Wild Tiger Twelve Spears, and now it has become Wild Tiger Twelve Swords.
No, this could rather be called Seolhoshipido (Snow Tiger Twelve Swords).
It was clearly based on the form of the Bokhosipipak, but the idea contained within was closer to the Bingbaekdo method.
Before I knew it, I was becoming one with Baeksan.
“What the-”
Baek-san’s face became one of disbelief.
You’d be surprised to know that I can use the same Ice White Magic that I can use on demons with my bare hands.
The problem was that it wasn’t just any ice magic, it was the ice magic that ‘he used’.
The size of the movements, the spacing of the feet, the way of breathing, the slightest eye twitching, even the smallest habits, all became the same.
My sorcery skills instantly rose to the level of a demon.
“!!!”
Baek-san was startled as if he had seen a ghost and hurriedly stepped back.
“If you’re not a ghost, you can’t help but be shocked when you see the leader of the cult like that. Even I, watching from the side, get goosebumps!”
“Even though ‘Dang Yun-Hwi’s’ body is clearly not that talented, isn’t it because he has a consciousness that is so large that he can turn it all upside down?”
“The young sect leader is simply going down the path he was supposed to take.”
“I have no idea what kind of world the young cult leader saw and grew up in.”
Hwaaak-
I used my shadow to close the gap again so as not to lose sight of the fleeing guy.
“Where are you going?”
“What on earth have you done? How could you have broken the North Sea Sect’s rules… and your methods must be different…!”
“Yeah-”
I got closer to Baek-san’s astonished face and chuckled.
“Because I’m a genius?”
“!!!”
“… As expected, the sect leader’s level of discipline is truly amazing.”
“But you’re not wrong. In the first place, you’re using the Ice White Technique while using the Shadow Bo. It’s already fraudulent to mix martial arts of different origins like that-“
Chae-ae-aeng!
Narakdo and Sakpunginkyul collided.
A blow that the guy struck with all his might.
Narakdo roughly pushed my hand up.
Ugh!
Baek San must have been pushing himself too hard because he forced himself to keep his mouth shut.
Her complexion was much paler than before, and even the corners of her eyes were now bright red.
The venom was encroaching on the realm of the guy’s brain, beyond his marrow.
It has reached its limit.
“… Me! Do you think I would be defeated by a half-ass like you!!”
Baek San squeezed out the last of his remaining strength with all his might and stretched out his empty left hand like lightning.
The sword struck my chest.
Kwaaang!
Ice Soul God Palm.
It was a technique that had the characteristic of forcibly implanting the ice poison (氷毒) that Domabukhaejong was proud of into the opponent.
Boom!
Tsk tsk tsk-
I flicked Baek-san’s left hand out before the ice poison could completely penetrate his heart, and raised Ma-pung-gak to aim for the guy’s chin.
But by then the guy had already stepped on the sword and widened the gap.
“Wow!”
Baeksan knelt on one knee.
My body swayed so much that I almost fell over if I hadn’t been able to support myself on the steep slope.
He vomited a lot of blood on the floor. There was only bright red blood everywhere.
The energy was draining away rapidly.
Still, the venom did not leave the guy’s face.
He forced his head up and glared at me.
“Just a moment ago… I planted ice poison on Socheonma’s body. I’m sure Socheonma knows about ice poison. After half an hour, all of Socheonma’s blood vessels will freeze.”
I definitely felt a chill in my chest.
The ice poison that had already entered the body was slowly freezing the blood vessels.
“My ice poison is on a different level from other demons. It is called the eroding heart ice poison, and it slowly eats away at your heart until it eventually eats away at your life. There is no way to detoxify it. It was born to prevent that from happening.”
Something flashed in my mind.
“This Shiksim Bingdok or whatever it is, it was also made by the company.”
Just as Heukgolguigok was given the power to control Seophon-i-mang, Domabukhaejong was given the power to control Shiksim-bingdok.
Ice poison is also a type of poison.
It means that he is not only skilled in sorcery but also in poison, so it is hard to guess how far his powers reach.
Baeksan’s eyes widened slightly as if he didn’t know the word ‘hoe’ would come out of my mouth, and then he drew a line.
He was now completely consumed by the poison, his whole body covered in pain.
“You already know about the company? That’s amazing.”
“I have many ghosts of the elders who died at Ssaecheonbong.”
“Huh! They were all giant demons that once brought terror to the Central Plains, but the Little Heavenly Demon is different.”
“Am I a bit different?”
“… If you had been just a little more humble, the results would have been completely different.”
Baek-san shouted with a face stained with annoyance.
“But there’s not much time left for that! Even though I’ll die here, the little cult leader who was eaten by the Shiksim Bingdok will slowly die. But fortunately, the road to the afterlife won’t be boring. Hahaha!”
“Oh. I don’t think it’ll be boring.”
I laughed along with the laughing guy.
“Your ghost will belong to me anyway.”
“Nonsense again-”
Baek San wiggled one eyebrow as he spoke.
I took something out of my back pocket without saying a word.
It was a ghost ring.
To be exact, it is a ghost ring made by grinding the souls of the swordsmen that were killed before meeting Baek San.
“I, that-“
“Three!?”
I just put the whole thing in my mouth.
Eww! Eww!
If there was one thing that Baek-san didn’t know yet, it was that I had been reincarnated as a member of the Tang sect with knowledge so great that even the new sect couldn’t keep up with me in terms of poison.
This is the reason why I have been wearing this ridiculous lion mask all this time.
Ice poison is also a type of poison.
That is also called a food poisoning drug.
It was the best, highest quality ice cream I’ve ever seen in my life.
Where else can you find such a good elixir for a person of this caliber?
Kkaaaah!
I have activated the dragon’s heart.
Then, three times more ghost poison than usual rushed through the meridians.
Some of them hit my heart hard as they mixed with the ice in one breath.
Thump thump thump thump!
My heart was pounding wildly.
As the blood flowed rapidly, the frozen meridians were instantly awakened, and the internal energy and magical power rushing along the path opened up all the blood vessels that were still blocked.
Boom!
Gooooo-
The body that had been pale due to the poisoning quickly regained its color.
The internal energy and magical power, which had increased significantly compared to before, were now spread throughout the entire body.
It was filled with yin energy that was perfect for sorcery.
The more solid Samdanjeon resonated lively.
The heart of a poisonous dragon
Birth of Ice Dragon
Whistle, whistle, whistle!
The gale blowing from me has now become a cold wind no less than that of Gu Min-chae.
The cold wind collided with the cold wind.
Ice formed on the floor, and frost fell from the sky.
Tsk tsk tsk-
“Bing… Poison?”
Baek San Do realized only then that he had been used for my martial arts development from beginning to end, and his face turned even paler.
“I was wondering what on earth made you guys target the Tang family, and this is the secret weapon you were hiding?”
This was the trick that Hui used.
If I had a weapon like this, I thought that there would definitely be a weapon that would be very effective in striking down the Tang Clan and overthrowing the Sichuan martial arts world.
The already severe North Sea ice poisoning was getting even worse.
But unfortunately for the guys, the ice poison was a crystal of negative energy and was poisonous.
The problem was that I, who had the upper hand in those two advantages, was caught first, so the antidote was created before I could use it properly.
In the end, the guy was just used by me from beginning to end.
“You little punk! You little punk! Me! How long are you going to make fun of me-”
Stop!
Baek-san roared loudly and then fell backwards.
His complexion was dark, as if a blood vessel in his brain had burst.
It was a vain death for a minor demon.
“Oh no! I ended up dying?”
I chuckled as I looked at the guy’s body.
Reincarnation Demon Temple
