Episode 334


    [It’s a form. I thought it was the reaching point, but it turned out to be the starting point.]


    These were the words spoken by Dan Mok-gun, who was still a minor religious leader, on the day he reached the absolute state.


    Emperor Cheonwolma, the former Eight Great Demon Lord, who watched the scene from the side, thought it was a pretentious joke.


    Other believers who heard the story from him also had simr sentiments.


    They realized this only after Danmokgun, whoter ascended to the position of religious leader, tore Cheonwolmaje to death.


    That a monster unprecedented in the history of the Demonic Cult, or rather in the history of Wulin, had been born.


    ‘The moment you let go of the tension, you die.’


    Often, when referring to a martial artist who has gone beyond the flower world and entered the absolute state, he or she is said to be an expert in the natural world.


    Ma Gyoju was also an expert in Hyeongyeong.


    However, that in no way meant that he was on the same level as the Ten Heavenly Emperors of the Hundred Paths or the Eight Great Demon Lords of the Demonic Cult.


    It is simply that there is no name to distinguish the realm after the current era.


    If it had existed, the Demon Cultist would have been called a different qualifier long ago.


    Coo!


    Every time he took a step, the earth shook.


    The warriors of Hwangbo Family, who were watching the situation from afar and looking for an opportunity to join in, lost their bnce and fell to the ground.


    Heavenly Demon Lord Limbo (天魔君臨步).


    The steps of a ruler who restrict movement in one step, steal the center of gravity in two steps, and bring everyone to their knees in three steps.


    What will those who criticized this martial art, calling it a fantasy that cannot possibly exist, think when they see this scene?


    I could definitely say it.


    Rumors are not as good as reality.


    It’s already an incredibly powerful martial art, but the person performing it is the demonic lord of the time, so what more can I say?


    Kukukuk!


    Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!


    The ground, unable to withstand the impact, copsed.


    Rocks tumbled down the slope, and huge trees that had been uprooted were swept away in a pile of dirt.


    “Sigh!”


    Hwang Bo-gak, who managed to close the distance, thrust out his fist and aimed at Ma Cyo-ju’s side.


    Surprisingly, Ma Jiao was able to block it with just a quick touch of his finger.


    “Is it said that Hwang Bo-sega’s martial arts skills, which are based on the Sumi Cheonwang Shin Gong (神功), are fast, heavy, and strong?”


    “…!”


    “I don’t think there’s anything special about it. “It falls far short of expectations.”


    No, to be exact, the fist and hand didn’t even make contact.


    Hwang Bo-gak’s fist was fixed in the air, half an inch away, as if something was blocking it.


    The force of the will served as a buffer and absorbed the force contained in the punch.


    Quang!


    Hwang Bo-gak’s new form, which was throwing out its opposite fist to break free of the restraints, bounced backwards as if it had hit a rock and flew away.


    Aiming for that moment, I dug into the blind spot of the leader and unleashed a series of attacks with the Wolyeong Sword.


    The tenth herbivorous Baekwol (白月).


    The seventeenth herbivorous snow month.


    The exploding sword light momentarily obscured the Demon Cultist’s vision.


    Then, a dizzying sword strike, like light reflecting off the curves of the ground, was aimed at the vital points of his body.


    Crackle!


    An unpleasant friction sound rang out.


    I frowned and retrieved my sword.


    Instead of the feeling of the de cutting into my skin, I felt a sharp pain in my wrist.


    ‘Everything was blocked by the membrane of the cervix.’


    There was no set framework for the use of the artificial form device.


    It could be used in a variety of ways depending on the caster’s capabilities.


    However, among the martial artists who actually reached the absolute state, there was no one who could freely handle the Uihyeonggi.


    Basically, it was not easy to learn how to use the ceremonial device because it was not visible to the eyes of the person who manifested it and its form was difficult to estimate.


    Are you training in the right way, are you making progress, and are the new techniques you have learned effective?


    Since there was no way to know everything, there was no chance of proper training.


    It was a study that would have been difficult even if there was a teacher who could provide clear answers.


    Moreover, absolute experts are those who have already pioneered their own path and have reached the pinnacle of their field.


    Who on earth can tell them the correct answer?


    As a result, everyone only learned a few limited techniques and used them in their own way.


    However, Lord Ma was an exception.


    ‘I knew that he transcended humans a long time ago.’


    The gap was too severe.


    Right now, I am one step closer to absolute perfection.


    Nevertheless, he could not inflict even a single injury on the Demon Cultist.


    Kwazijic!


    Just like Hwang Bo-gak, the body was struck by something invisible and collided with therge tree behind it.


    A huge tree with its back broken was shattered in a heap of heavy rain.


    Debris scattered in all directions hit Hwangbo’s warriors, increasing casualties.


    ‘I’m really going to die at this rate.’


    I struggled to get up from my seat, took a deep breath, and looked down at the tattered clothes.


    If it had not been for a situation where he was in a joint attack with Hwang Bo-gak, and if Ma Jiao-ju’s movements had not been restricted while fighting while protecting Sima Seo-hwan, the showdown would have ended long ago.


    In other words, Ma Gyo-ju was overwhelming me and Hwang Bo-gak even though we were fighting with a lot of weight on our backs.


    ‘Well, if I had decided that the conditions were not good, I would have run away to survive, even though it was a golden opportunity.’


    There was no sound in my body.


    Every time I moved, I felt pain all over my body.


    My inner strength, which had been calmed down at best, was seething uncontrobly.


    ‘…Should I have just run away?’


    The thought arose that I may have been blinded by greed and made a too reckless decision.


    All I have to do is hold it here somehow?


    That wasn’t as easy as it sounds.


    If this continues, both Hwang Bo-gak and I will die at the hands of the Demon Cultist.


    ‘It is a no-win decision. If they were going to attack, they should have done so right away.’


    The limits of my exhausted and injured body were clear.


    If he tried to run away now, he would be caught soon.


    ‘The target that the Demon Cult Lord wants to eliminate first is none other than me. Hwang Bo-gak may not know, but I will definitely die.’


    It is impossible to turn back time to the past.


    Now that it was like this, I had to push through to the end, even if it meant bing porridge.


    “Fighting spirit is good. But you probably realized it by now. “There is no chance of victory with the two of you alone.”


    “noisy! “You don’t know the oue until it’s decided!”


    Hwang Bo-gak grits his teeth and responds to the arrogant provocation of Ma Cyo-ju.


    I continued to dodge the iing attacks and rushed towards the Demon Cultist.


    This time, we attacked together with Hwang Bo-gak.


    As swords and fists flew from left and right at the same time, the demonic leader twitched his eyebrows.


    Even though it was hazy, like there was fog, I could tell that he was feeling ufortable.


    The reason was none other than me.


    The target Hwang Bo-gak was aiming for was Ma Jiao-ju, but the target I was aiming for was Sima Seo-hwan.


    No matter how much of a demon cult leader he is, he cannot help but be distracted.


    Coo!


    For the first time, Hwang Bo-gak’s fist hit Ma Cyo-ju’s body.


    A dull noise, as if a rock had been struck, echoed throughout the area.


    “…….”


    My sword, which was aiming for Sima Xuhuan’s nape, was caught in the hand of the Demon Cultist.


    I looked perplexed at the unexpected response.


    The Demonic Cult Master protected Sima Xuhuan even by taking the attack with his body.


    Hwang Bo-gak was also surprised.


    Although he hadnded the turning blow, the Demon Cultist’s appearance was still too good.


    “It’s a shallow trick. “Did you know you could do something to me with something like this?”


    Coo!


    Ma Gyo-ju, who spoke in a low voice, nced behind him and saw Hwang Bo-gak’s new form hit the ground.


    It wasn’t visible, but I could tell.


    That the huge artificial steel device was pressing heavily on his body.


    ‘this.’


    There was no time to retrieve the sword.


    I quickly let go of the sword soldier and leaped.


    He then punched the air to keep the demonic leader from following him.


    The sixth herbivorous fighting fist of the wall power.


    Kwon Gyeok, who had a knack for attacking, knocked on the spot where the Demon Lord was standing.


    Master Ma paid no heed to that and stretched out his hand towards me.


    Phew!


    Then a strong attraction urred and my body was pulled.


    Feeling a sense of crisis, I tried to kick into the air and fall to the side, but Master Ma didn’t let me just watch.


    Before the sphere of Chae Lei Qi was created, the Yinheng Jiang Qi flew in and disrupted the concentrated energy.


    ‘Damn it.’


    As I was helplessly dragged away, I cursed under my breath.


    At the same time, he prepared for impact by protecting his body with a membrane of self-defense and brain energy.


    Quad deuk!


    The cult leader’s fist immediately breaks the double protective shield and digs into the abdomen.


    My ribs were broken, and the energy that flowed through my fist sent shock to my internal organs.


    “Big!”


    After rolling a few times on the ground, I reflexively got up and fell to my knees without trying to straighten my posture.


    My vision was spinning.


    A feeling of nausea rose up to my throat.


    Like water-soaked cotton, my body lost all strength and an unbearable pain filled me.


    -So I didn’t tell you? If you refuse the offer, you have no future.


    Master Ma, who had reached the front in the blink of an eye, spoke in a voice of regret.


    The sight of him raising his fist as if trying to end the situation felt unrealistic.


    Death is just around the corner.


    In a split second, a thousand thoughts passed through my mind.


    I didn’t see a sh of light.


    As the crisis struck, idents rapidly elerated and a way to ovee the current situation was suggested.


    It was sudden, but I was able to recognize it instinctively.


    The moment of flowering has finally arrived.


    I was confident that now I would be able to show off the skills I showed off in the fight against the Blood Witch.


    Absolutely!


    The white thunder energy gathered in front of the face of the Demon Cultist.


    Is it because something unexpected happened?


    The leader, who was about to throw a fist, suddenly flinched his shoulder.


    Quang!


    The condensed brain energy was released.


    A terrifying explosion engulfed the ce where he stood.


    * * *


    “her.”


    Ma Gyoju, who was pushed out, leaving long footprints on the ground, let out an exmation.


    It grew like a miracle in a moment of crisis.


    Like the protagonist of a heroic story floating around the world.


    Absolutely! Quick!


    White spheres floating around the kneeling Yeonsun.


    The report I heard from my subordinates came to mind.


    [Cheonryong’s inaction in using the gold ball was not inferior to that of an absolute expert.]


    [Each time the white sphere exploded, elite warriors died in droves.]


    The white sphere was probably Yeon-woon’s best choice when dealing with the Blood Flower Witch. It must have been a show of skill.


    ‘Have I crossed the wall?’


    Is it really possible to say that he is a suitable person who has been chosen by a divine being?


    Until a little while ago, he was in an awkward state between Hwa-kyung and Hyeon-kyung, but it seems that his fight with himself became the catalyst for his awakening.


    ‘but.’


    No matter how much he reached absolute heights, he couldn’t deal with himself with a body that was ruined like that.


    With that in mind, I took a step forward.


    Yeonsun, who was muttering something with his head down, suddenly lifted his index finger.


    Squeak!


    Immediately after, a sword roughly tore through the hem of the demon cult leader’s clothes as he half-rotated his body.


    There was surprise on the face of Ma Cyoju when he discovered the floating pce next to Yeon-yoon.


    ‘Fighting swordsmanship (馭劍術)?’
