< No business in Daguri (5) - Return of the Heavenly Demon >
Woof woof – quake quake bang!
The sound of the canyon collapsing could be heard hundreds of miles away. Thunder and lightning struck, and a deafening roar erupted as if the world were falling apart.
Groan, groan.
When something like a natural disaster occurs, the drones become anxious.
“No need to be surprised! Stay where you are!”
Cheongun walked around and calmed down the surprised warriors.
Thanks to his presence protecting the main camp, the warriors of the Cheonhae Martial Arts Alliance have been able to fight against the Cheonma Sect without running away.
‘I guess it’s started.’
Cheongun turned his head and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from.
A valley surrounded by cliffs. Inside, an explosion of sound and light erupted.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
Various types of light burst out from between the huge clouds of dust that had risen.
‘The pure white light is the Master. The bright yellow light is the Taoist King. The ever-changing colors are the martial arts of Shin Chang-nim.’
Cheongwoon recalled the three seasons of the world and imagined the battle that was going on inside. His hands naturally gained strength.
‘I want to see it with my own eyes!’
Cheongun wanted to enter the valley and witness the martial arts of the three great warriors of the world, as well as the martial arts of the Heavenly Horse, who was so powerful that all three people had to show up.
But a strong sense of responsibility held him back. Cheongwoon let out a soft sigh.
“···Since the three of you have come forward, I think it would be best for me to command the warriors here.”
Originally, Daein wanted to include Cheongun in the Battle of the Valley.
However, with all three factions of the world coming forward, there was no need for Cheongun to come forward.
To be more precise···.
‘With my current martial arts skills, I will only be a hindrance to the three of you.’
Cheong-un smiled bitterly. Even though he was praised as a genius of the ages, he was still nothing more than a child compared to the three great men of the world.
Kuk···.
Cheongwoon clenched his fists in anger at that fact.
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about wanting to become stronger.
The reason was because of one special friend.
“I am here, and you, sir, are there fighting alongside my master.”
It was a little bit resentful. Cheongwoon had felt that way often since meeting the great man.
I felt that I was no match for the great man, both in terms of martial arts and personality.
‘Why did heaven give birth to me and the landlord in the same era?’
I was so jealous that I even had such thoughts.
However, Cheong-un was not the type of person who hated or became twisted because of jealousy. Rather, jealousy was the fuel that helped him grow further.
“···Someday I will catch up with you.”
With that determination, Cheongun turned his head away from the valley.
While Cheonha Samjeol and Daein were fighting Cheonma, he had other things to do.
It was something that had to be taken care of before the main force of the Murim Alliance arrived.
“The Demon Slayers, follow me, the rest of you wait here.”
Cheongun led the Demon Extermination Corps and headed to the headquarters of the Cheonma Sect.
After a while, the warriors of the Heavenly Demon Sect who discovered them drew their weapons and shouted.
“They’re the Murim Alliance guys!”
Cheongun raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of fighting.
“Is the young leader here? I would like to speak with you as the representative of the Moorim Alliance Cheonghae Branch.”
While the warriors of the Cheonmasin Sect and the members of the Demon Destruction Corps were facing off, after a while the leader of the Cheonmasin Sect appeared with his elders.
“······.”
The expression on the little sect leader’s face was dark. It must be because of his father, Cheongwoon thought as he sent a message.
[The leader will be safe. It may take a while for the position to be preserved, but···.]
[Thank you, but I apologize for the inconvenience. Let’s get back to what we need to do.]
Cheongwoon nodded and spoke in a loud voice.
“I am Cheongun, the acting head of the Cheonghae branch of the Murim Alliance. With the authority given to me by the branch head, I propose peace to the Cheonmasingyo!”
The warriors of the Murim Alliance who followed Cheongun and the warriors of the Cheonma Sect who lined up behind the leader opened their eyes wide in surprise.
“Peace?”
“Are you saying you surrender?”
“You ignorant bastard. That’s not it. I meant let’s stop fighting.”
Groan, groan.
The murmur among the warriors on both sides grew louder.
Peace.
It was a word that had never been used in the Great Battle of Jeongma before in history.
Everyone waited for the leader of the small sect to answer. Depending on the answer, the history of the martial arts world could change.
The young leader opened his mouth.
“Get ready. I will speak to the guest. And until the conversation is over, all fighting will be prohibited!”
While the warriors of the Cheonmasingyo were too flustered to answer, it was the elder who shouted.
“What are you doing! Can’t you hear the orders of the Young Master?”
“Oh, yes!”
So the Jeongma War entered a temporary ceasefire.
And after a while, Cheongun and Sogyoju sat facing each other in the tent.

Somehow, the two men had similar expressions on their faces.
Cheongun said with a sly smile.
“In the end, all the annoying work is ours.”
“That’s right.”
Although this was their first time meeting each other, a strange sense of kinship flowed between the two.
Outside, the loud noises of “Boom, boom!” could still be heard.
Cheongun said.
“Let’s talk slowly. I think the fight won’t be over until dinnertime.”
“Okay, let’s do that. Would you like a drink?”
“Okay.”
“But how old are you? You seem a little younger than me.”
“Hmm? What are you talking about? I think there are more than me···.”
“Let me see your license plate.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside, the two men chatted about various things while the loud noise continued to resonate.
***
The body of the leader of the Cheonmagyo cult was blown away and crashed into a cliff.
-Kwaaaaang!
The leader of the Cheonma cult, who had been thrown deep into the cliff, immediately stood up like a rock and attacked again.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaah!”
Cheonhasamjeol frowned at the sight of his momentum not diminishing at all.
“That guy. He’s got a lot of energy.”
The Tao King grumbled and raised his Wall Power again. Crackle, crackle! Electricity surged across his body.
Phew-!
A yellowish stream of water gushed out from the sword that the Taoist King was wielding. It was his special skill, the Wall Power Sword.
Cheonma also swung his arms in response. The magical energy flowing through his entire body stretched out like a whip and swung.
-Kwaaaaang!
An explosion occurred in the air, and the King of Dao’s body was pushed backwards. He wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
“···Ugh. I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve tasted blood.”
At that moment, the King of Dowagers’ eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Although he has become much gentler now that he is older, his other nickname during his active years was ‘Fighting Dog.’
“Come at me, you monster!”
Kwaaaaah!
Kwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The Heavenly Horse and the Taoist King collided head-on. The fragments of the strong energy flying in all directions changed the terrain of the valley.
As time passed, the Taoist King’s weaknesses were revealed. He was an absolute master who could cut down mountains with a single sword, but the Heavenly Horse in front of him was a monster who could receive his sword with his bare body.
Shin Chang sighed as he looked at the sight.
“Tsk. You should think about your age, too, hyung. How long are you going to act like a bald eagle?”
“It’s my fight, don’t interfere!”
“I don’t like it.”
Shin Chang intervened in the fight with a cold voice. He threw the spear he was holding at Cheonma.
Whirlyrick!
The spear, which had been sharply rotated, flew like a ray of light and aimed for Cheonma’s chest.
Kyaaang!
Cheonma swung his arm and knocked the spear aside. But the spear’s attack was only just beginning.
“Just keep receiving it.”
Shin Chang threw the remaining four spears in succession. Every time he moved his arm, it felt like lasers were being shot.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
The spear that flew through space targeted Cheonma’s shoulder, arm, thigh, and leg.
Cheonma moved his body absentmindedly and struck out the spear. The spear he struck out flew into the cliff.
-Kwakwakwakwakwang!
One side of the canyon collapsed again. Nature trembled under the battle of superhuman beings that transcended humanity.
Kwaaaa …
As Shin Chang snapped his fingers, the spears that had been shot away returned to him. Shin Chang frowned and said.
“···He is a monster that should not exist in this world.”
“Ouch. Move aside.”
The swordsman who had been stepping back for a moment stepped forward. The sword that had left his hand pierced Cheonma’s shoulder.
Phew!
Blood spurted into the air and the Heavenly Horse’s body staggered. The Taoist King did not miss this opportunity and rushed at the Heavenly Horse. His entire body was filled with lightning.
“Whoaap!”
Shin Chang also threw and retrieved spears in succession. His arms moved without rest.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!
As the fight continued, the huge magical energy surrounding Cheonma’s body gradually diminished.
Geomseong sighed and said.
“Whew. I can finally see the end.”
At that moment, a huge amount of magical energy exploded from Cheonma’s body. A storm of magical energy engulfed the three people.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!
“Everyone, be careful!”
The three heavenly beings each raised their self-defense energies and deployed their magic to escape the range of the explosion.
A moment later, a monster five meters tall was standing in that spot.
Krrrrrrrr···.
The face of the cult leader, covered in magic, could no longer be seen.
“Is that really a person…?”
The monster let out a long howl. It swung its abnormally long arms, and dozens of streams of energy completely collapsed one side of the canyon.
Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwak!
Cheonhasamjeol narrowly avoided the attack. However, Dowang, who was closest to Cheonma, suffered a serious injury to his waist.
“Aww! Are you okay?”
“Ugh… This thing will be fine if you just put some spit on it!”
“Stop bluffing and just stand back!”
Geomseong grabbed the back of the King’s neck and threw him far away. Then he confronted the giant monster head-on.
The sword of the Black Star and the claws of the Heavenly Horse clashed, sending sparks flying. The Black Star was pushed back further and further.
“Ugh···.”
Unlike the Sword Master, whose internal energy and stamina were gradually depleted, the magical energy emitted by the Heavenly Demon was actually becoming more and more abundant.
In proportion to that, the vitality felt from Cheonma was gradually decreasing.
Geumseong looked up at the monster with a sad expression.
“···Are you going to fight by burning the rest of your life? Do you really have to do it this way?”
Wow! Wow!
The Heavenly Horse simply roared with red lights bursting from its eyes.
***
Above the canyon.
The Great Man was watching the battle between the three great men of the world while using
‘···Crazy. What kind of martial arts is that?’
The Heavenly Horse was much stronger than I had thought. I would never have dared face it alone.
‘Originally, Cheonhasamjeol would kill Cheonma halfway and then go and absorb his magic energy···.’
Not only was the Cheonha Samjeol that he had trusted being pushed back, but there was also a problem with his plan to absorb magic.
[I don’t want to eat that.]
The ogre that appeared on the great man’s right hand shook its pudding-like body from side to side.
Even if the elder tried to persuade him, it was no use.
‘Why don’t you eat it?’
[If you eat it, you’ll get a stomachache.]
The devil answered firmly.
When I asked if it was okay to die from a stomachache, the demon shook its body up and down.
[Yeah. You could die.]
‘···Then that won’t work.’
Inevitably, he had no choice but to change his plan. The Great Man turned his head again and looked at Cheonma and Cheonha Samjeol.
-Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwang!
They were fighting, collapsing the entire canyon. If there had been any life around, that would have been a terrible disaster in itself.
Wow! Wow!
As time passed, the size of the Cheonma grew bigger and bigger. It was over 5 meters, then 7 meters, then 8 meters, and in the blink of an eye, it reached almost 10 meters.
It could no longer be called a Heavenly Demon. It was a monster that had been consumed by the mind demon and had completely lost its self.
“···There’s nothing I can do.”
The man made a decision. He tried not to kill Manbaknogoe if possible, looking at his face, but he couldn’t hesitate in this situation.
‘Kill that bastard.’
The man’s eyes sank. He raised his stealth to the max and slowly moved his body.
‘It’s over in one go.’
When that bastard was only concerned about the three great men of Heaven, I planned to jump down from the top of the canyon and kill him in one breath.
The man held his breath and waited for the timing.
But the opportunity for the great man to step forward never came.
“Click click.”
Something passed by at a speed that was difficult even for an adult to perceive, along with a familiar laughter.
WHEEK!
It immediately struck the monster’s head hard.
-Paaaaaaaaaah!
The monster that was pinned to the ground immediately tried to raise its body like a stake, but its opponent did not allow it.
“You punk. Don’t act like a troublemaker and just stay quiet.”
Boom! Boom! Boom bang bang bang bang!
As he swung his fists in succession, the magical energy forming the monster’s body burst out like a balloon.
The magic raged and tried to scratch him, but the same energy flowed out from his body and countered it.
“Click click. It feels so refreshing to be outside after such a long time.”
The voice was just as the man remembered it.
But everything else was different.
A tall and muscular body that rivals that of the Taoist King.
A bold and fierce expression and thick eyebrows.
And the red hair that reached down to her waist flapped wildly in the wind.
-Kwaaaaang!
The man who had finally knocked the monster to the ground looked back.
Cheonhasamjeol looked up at him with a blank expression.
“Click click. Kids. It’s been a while.”
