Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 186
Episode 186 King of Beasts (6)
A look of relief appeared on Seoryang’s face as he sat cross-legged.
‘It’s worth taking a look at now.’
Samdanjeon was established stably. The internal injuries are still severe, but the danjeon has been straightened, so recovery will be quick.
‘There’s definitely a difference even in the extreme.’
If he had been a magician who had learned traditional magic arts when he suffered such severe internal and external injuries, his body would have returned to normal in an instant through his overwhelming recovery power.
However, that could not necessarily be considered the right way. This is because recovery without considering the balance of the three stages can easily create a wall on the way to a higher state.
Of course, if the situation was really urgent, Seo-ryang would have done the same. However, there is a difference between doing it because you have no choice and doing it because it is the only way.
‘In that respect, the Nine Great Majons and Jin Gwan-yong are different from me.’
They practiced the orthodox magic arts of Protestantism. Regardless of the level of martial arts, their magic was the purification of pure magic without any impurities.
However, Guyumagong of Xiliang was a martial artist who mixed Buddhist martial arts. To put it bluntly, it was a variant, and thanks to that, it was able to raise its level to that of the Reigning Demon Emperor, the sect’s magic craft.
Although the level is high, the direction is different from other magic arts. While the orthodox magic of Xingyo pursued thorough destruction, the magic of Western Liang pursued a more balanced martial arts.
So, although it was more profound than any other magical technique, the way it was used was similar to that of the righteous faction.
‘If I had learned traditional magic, I wouldn’t have been able to reach the extreme level yet.’
He was accustomed to enlightenment and constant self-contemplation through sitting meditation. By mixing in Buddhism martial arts, I was able to look at the wall of extreme magic with a more flexible perspective, unlike magicians who had learned orthodox magic.
‘If it goes any higher than this, the difference will become meaningless. But not now.’
So what should he do now?
‘Opening the three levels beyond the underground and the demonic coffin.’
A Demonic Aspect of the Underworld that realizes the essence of demons with one’s body. A Demonic Aspect of Heaven and Earth that beats on the wall of extreme demons with amplified magical power.
If he can then open the gates of hell, he will be able to completely reach the level he achieved in his previous life.
‘Perfectly? That’s not it. Rather, it should be seen as a higher state.’
During his time as King of Sal, his martial arts skills were impressive enough, but at the same time, they were ambiguous. This is because the martial arts he learned were based on the spray technique.
Higher than then.
In this young body, he gains the martial arts ability to discuss the world as the Three Dukes of the Heavenly Demon God Religion.
A smile appeared on Seo-ryang’s lips.
‘Is that the right time to raise the signal of advance?’
Uicheon blindness and siderosclerosis.
Since the harpoon was released to the Beast Palace, there will be some reaction from them as well.
‘I don’t know about Iron Blood Castle. But how will the old Lord of Uicheon come out?’
Seo-ryang thought for a moment and shook his head.
‘I don’t know either.’
He is such an extraordinary human being. Even if you understand it well, it is not easy to predict its next action.
But there were only two things I was sure of.
‘I won’t touch Protestantism.’
If it’s natural, it’s natural. In order to devour the world, they even dragged in the Three Palaces, one of whom lost his head and the other whose arm was blown off.
As of now, I wouldn’t even dare to touch it.
And one left.
‘The moment they realize that the power of the Tang family has weakened, they will try to absorb the Tang family.’
Lord Uicheon is a greedy person. That greed is so great that not even demons who are said to be united by desire can compete with it.
A sword that you cannot wield when you want is not a sword. This is what Lord Uicheon always said.
‘As expected, it was a good choice to keep the head of the Tang family alive.’
Xiliang opened his eyes.
The reddish light in the dark cave glowed eerily.
‘That’s the mistake that will cost you one of your wrists.’
At that time, I felt a presence outside the cave.
“Confucius.”
“Well wait a moment.”
Seoyang took a deep breath and stood up.
I felt like my limbs were twisted from sitting cross-legged for a long time. As expected, it seemed that his body was still not normal.
“Damn, you shouldn’t use such reckless methods in the future.”
Beast Palace Lord, if that bastard hadn’t lost his temper, it wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
Seoyang grumbled and left the cave.
“Kyaang.”
Geumho came over as if he was happy and rubbed his head on Seoryang’s chest.
“Wow, look at this guy’s belly. “Did he swallow a deer whole?”
Seoriang, who was stroking Geumho’s head, looked at King Tiger. At the same time, Geumho growled.
Sreuk.
King Tiger lowered his posture.
It was a posture whose meaning was difficult to understand. What was certain was that they were not trying to attack him.
Xu Liang frowned.
“Your killing shook the whole mountain. “I called because I was distracted.”
Ma Dong-pil, standing next to him, was inwardly curious. This was because he had never felt the life of any wild animal, let alone the life of a tiger king.
But if it were Confucius, it would be like that. Ma Dong-pil listened to Seo-ryang’s words with a serious attitude.
“Why do you keep wandering around here?”
Of course, you probably don’t expect an answer. Because animals cannot speak.
But surprisingly, when he saw the King of Tiger’s eyes, Xioliang nodded.
“Yeah, you’re not targeting me.”
Do you recognize me? how?
“Is it revenge?”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“Do you still hate the Beast Palace Lord?”
Crumble.
King Tiger rang his neck.
Ma Dong-pil’s mouth dropped open. Seoliang’s words and actions, which seemed to have penetrated King Tiger’s feelings, were surprising, but King Tiger’s reaction to Seoliang’s words was also surprising.
“The guy is already dead. “I know because I saw it then.”
thud!
The Tiger King struck the ground violently with his front paw. It was a very nervous reaction.
Crash.
Ma Dong-pil’s thumb slightly pulled out the ink king’s sword. If the king attacked, he was ready to attack immediately.
Xi Liang said coldly.
“If you were born as the King of the Mountains, be worthy of your birth. “I know you’re upset, but don’t linger on prey that’s already dead.”
Cry. Crumble.
“The spell that bound you has been broken. Now live as honorably as you were born. “That’s all I have to say.”
Jiyiing.
The Tiger King’s eyes became even redder.
Strangely enough, King Tiger’s eyes were very similar to Seoliang’s. The red eye glow was also an eye glow, but the atmosphere of accumulated resentment that was difficult to guess was very similar.
Seo-ryang, who was watching King Tiger, scratched his head.
“So what are you asking me to do?”
Crumble!
“I’m sorry, but I have no business there anymore. “My hunting ended the moment he died.”
The Tiger King’s eyes sparkled.
Hehehe!!
A fierce roar erupts from all directions at an instant.
It was the roar of a truly fierce tiger that made the mountains, rivers and trees tremble. The roar was so violent that even Ma Dong-pil lost his posture for a moment.
Slurp.
Geumho stood in front of Seoryang as if guarding it. The multi-colored, brilliant eye lights created a menacing atmosphere.
Seoliang, who was looking at the slithering tiger king, grabbed the golden tiger’s tail and shook it. Then Geumho fell down on his seat.
Seo-ryang, sitting on Geum-ho’s back, sighed.
“Dongpil.”
“yes? Oh yes!”
“Where is Jang Majang now?”
“We are currently resting and guarding at the foot of the mountain with the Gwangmadae.”
“Call me.”
But Ma Dong-pil didn’t need to move. This was because Jangchu, who heard the Tiger King’s terrifying roar, came up emitting a powerful energy wave.
“omg?!”
Zhang Chu, surprised to see King Hu, grabbed the large sword behind his back.
At that time, Xu Liang raised his hand to stop him.
“You don’t have to pick it.”
“But, Confucius.”
“I have something to ask you more than that.”
“yes?”
“The palace lord and the two tribal leaders are dead. We also lost quite a few elite soldiers. “What is the state of the Beast Palace now?”
Zhang Chu said politely. The gaze glaring at the Tiger King was still there.
“We’re sorry, but we don’t know your exact condition at this time. However, if you want to know, I will contact the main school right away and order them to investigate the Beast Palace.”
“Then it’s too late.”
Xiliang looked at King Hu. King Tiger was still fuming.
“You know it’s hard to wipe them out alone. So, he must have been wandering around here.”
Cry.
“But we are busy with work too. To be more honest, I don’t care about your anger.”
Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.
“So how about doing it like this?”
The king of tigers wandered around and suddenly disappeared.
Xu Liang sighed.
“Damn it, these people are making things difficult for me, and even animals are involved in it. Anyway, life is real.”
Ma Dong-pil asked curiously.
“Confucius.”
“why?”
“Are you able to communicate with the king?”
“Communication… It’s not like we’re talking openly, but we can get to know each other to some extent.”
“How is that possible?”
“It’s easy if you stay with Kumho for a long time.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“Of course that’s not all.”
“if…?”
“I had some magical energy left after removing the magical power from his head.”
“yes?!”
“Of course, I didn’t mean to treat him like a hand and foot like the beast palace lord. “It happened without me even knowing.”
Ma Dong-pil was astonished.
“Does this mean that Confucius’s demonic energy is hovering over King Hu’s head?”
“Unless I solve it, it will never go away. It’s not that difficult to solve the trick, but it’s been so long since the vessel was formed. That’s why my demonic energy pooled in the empty vessel.”
Seoliang scratched Geumho’s back. The golden tiger made a purring sound.
“As you will know when you ascend to the top of the Demon, there is spirituality in the Demonic Energy that transcends the realm of innate nature. “If Geumho’s spiritual energy strengthened my relationship with him, this time, the spiritual energy in my demonic energy only made communication with the Tiger King possible.”
“…It’s amazing.”
“It’s not that surprising. Although there are differences in degree, anyone who deals with energy can do it. “It’s because I don’t know how.”
Xu Liang turned his neck here and there as if he was tired.
“Anyway, that aside, what about you?”
“yes?”
“You broke through the wall and climbed up. “Did things go well?”
A faint smile appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face.
“Is there any need to fix it? It will fall into place naturally.”
“What? “You’re good at saying plausible things now?”
Xu Liang smiled.
“Okay, there’s no need to rush it. For you now, who can melt even a single breath into martial arts, paying attention may be more of a problem.”
“It’s all thanks to Confucius.”
“Why is that thanks to me? “You worked so hard.”
Of course, the help of Jeolhak such as Geumgang Yacha Demon Gong or Gujung Demon Geomse would have been of great help. However, what Ma Dong-pil was truly grateful to Seo-ryang was not for allowing him to acquire such advanced martial arts skills.
It was just the posture. Ma Dong-pil, who had been watching Seoryang’s bodyguard while constantly watching him, had suddenly become as natural as Seoryang’s attitude toward martial arts.
“Anyway, you look amazing. Are you a swordsman? “I didn’t know you could hit two Beast Palace Lords in one shot.”
Cheonho’s movements, which attacked Seoryang with his last strength just before he was about to die, were so fast that no one could stop them.
At that time, Ma Dong-pil moved like lightning and cut Cheon-ho’s body into pieces.
It was a blow that even he himself did not know how it was possible. However, the moment he realized the qualitative improvement in magical energy brought about by the movement and sword fighting, he was able to break down the wall very naturally.
“They were all already dying.”
“It did. “He was so devastated that he moved at a speed that the Seven Demon Lords couldn’t even react to.”
Ma Dong-pil’s face became awkward.
Xu Liang spoke in a sincere voice.
“thanks. Thanks to you, I survived. “It was really dizzying.”
“It is my job to protect Confucius. “I just did the obvious thing.”
“Even though he has grown so much, his personality is still the same.”
Seoyang, who was laughing, got up from his seat.
Ma Dong-pil took out a canteen from his waist.
“Please drink some water. “You haven’t had a single sip today, have you?”
“No, drink it later. Rather, prepare in advance.”
“yes?”
Xu Liang turned around.
“I’m going down the mountain tomorrow. I have a lot of work to do.”
