Chronicles of the Demon Faction - Chapter 359
Episode 359 Depth of faith (4)
A day has passed.
The winter morning air was cold enough to freeze my lungs. However, this chill before dawn was Yeo Sang-rin’s greatest treasure.
Wooooow.
A soft white light flowed through Yeo Sang-rin’s body. It was a chill that sent shivers down my back just by looking at it.
The corners of Yeo Sang-rin’s mouth rose.
‘It works as expected.’
At Hwangbo Sega, I used the Ice and White Ssangsugyeong (氷魄雙手勁) without my knowledge. At that time, she didn’t even wonder how she used that martial art.
It wasn’t until later that I thought it was strange. The achievement of Negongsimbeop has not even increased that much, but you throw away Dusui Sugyeong, which can be said to be a secret technique in its own way? It was definitely not normal.
But now I understand.
‘Even if you don’t master the Naegongsimbeop, if your enlightenment is extreme, you can perform even more martial arts.’
Chii Iik.
White steam rose from Yeo Sang-rin’s right hand.
‘And what if you could use a technique like this with extreme enlightenment?’
Weeeeeee!!
The Danjeon, which retained its circular shape, rotated at high speed.
The Danjeon rotated and sucked in the surrounding cold and negative energy at a frightening speed. Surprisingly, while absorbing such a large amount of natural energy, the capacity of the dantian was decreasing.
‘No, it’s not decreasing.’
It’s being compressed.
Danjeon, which was a rich vessel, is tightly compressed into a shape similar to an inner altar.
It was a truly extraordinary operation beyond imagination. Unless the Naegongsimbeop itself is pursuing flowering, it is difficult for anyone to attempt it in this way.
‘It’s okay.’
The ultimate technique developed before even mastering the art of mind. However, thanks to that technique, I was able to train my inner gongsim to reach greatness. Although growth changed after the war, this was by no means an apostle.
Phew.
The inner circle was rotating at such a high speed that my lower abdomen felt stiff. Thanks to this, it didn’t even take a single moment for Danjeon to be changed to Naedan.
“Whoa.”
As Yeo Sang-rin opened her eyes and exhaled, a refreshing expression appeared on her face.
“Is this like catching a mouse while a cow is backing up?”
“I don’t think so.”
“crane!”
Surprised, Yeo Sang-rin looked to the side. I don’t know when he came, but Seoryang was looking down at him with his arms crossed.
“How are you?”
“huh.”
“No, but what happened here…?”
“I wanted to do a final inspection of the air before the battle. But the player was taken away.”
Yeosangrin grumbled.
“You don’t usually do that. Why?”
Even if you are at the level of Ma Dong-pil, there is no need for separate protection during the Ungong breakfast. This is because you can freely utilize the concentration of contemplating the inside and the feeling of observing the surroundings. There is nothing to say about Seoryang.
“I’m not feeling well.”
Yeo Sang-rin raised her eyes.
Now that I think about it, Seoliang’s condition was definitely not good. The energy that was so huge that it seemed rather ordinary was now pulsating unstably.
“So, the internal injuries are the same? “You usually recover quickly, right?”
“I left it because it was useful.”
“Is it useless? “Is being sick useful?”
“There is such a thing.”
Yeo Sang-rin pouted her mouth.
“You’re not trying to avoid a crisis by using being sick as an excuse, right? “I told you in advance that I don’t care about that.”
“what? Oh my past?”
“yes.”
Xu Liang chuckled.
“You’re laughing. Hey, you don’t know if it’s Dongpil or Cherry Blossoms, but you don’t have any of the above, right? “They serve me, but you are a stranger.”
“Sniff! “I feel bad for you to say that…”
“If you’ve done everything without talking nonsense, come to the side. “The place looked very nice.”
“Tsk.”
Yeo Sang-rin hesitated and took a step to the side.
Xu Liang frowned.
“Would you mind going a little further?”
“Think of it as protecting the law.”
“So much.”
Although she said so, Seo-ryang did not chase after her.
Seoryang, sitting cross-legged in the seat where Yeo Sang-rin sat, closed his eyes. It wasn’t about raising the old Demon Emperor or the Demon Lord Qi, it was just checking the Demon Lords on the Demon Emperor Qi.
How much concentration did you have?
“Oh really.”
Seoyang grumbled and opened his eyes.
Yeo Sang-rin closed her eyes with an innocent expression.
“why? “Is it not working?”
“Yeah man! “I can’t concentrate because my face is staring at me from the side!”
“You’re so distracted.”
“Just confirm this.”
Xu Liang sighed.
“So what? “Why are you doing this?”
“Was it King Sal?”
That was it in the end.
Xi Liang relaxed his posture. Although he was a stranger, the friendship he had developed with Yeo Sang-rin was very deep. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for her, it would have been difficult to come out to the midfield.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“omg! Are you saying that this is the king of assassins who is said to be the best in the world of assassins? “The King of Salvage, who was said to have boldly invaded in broad daylight, cut off every part of his target, and then escaped leisurely, was Lord Sogyo?”
“That’s right.”
“Oh my god….”
Yeo Sang-rin opened her mouth.
Xu Liang frowned.
“Why are you acting so surprised? “I wasn’t surprised at all.”
Yeo Sang-rin, who had a surprised expression on her face, pouted and pouted.
“Well, I was wondering if I should show this kind of response to make you feel more at ease.”
“I’m very disturbed.”
“Then it’s better. “Think of it as punishment.”
“Hey, I couldn’t help it either. He came back from the dead, but suddenly became a member of the Heavenly Demon Church. “Do you know how I felt at that time?”
“Do I need to know?”
“…You don’t have to know. Anyway, I had a hard time too. If I tell you that I’m actually the King of Sal, won’t you look at me like I’m crazy? “Not only did he become a three-gongja who lost his martial arts, but he also lost his spirit and ended up sucking his fingers for the rest of his life?”
“I really want to do that.”
“I like our school, but I also know that it can be an incredibly violent neighborhood at times. “I live with a smile now, but back then it was really thin ice.”
“I was a bit curious about that. How did you feel in the past? “I heard stories about this and that from Aenghwa and Ma Howie, but I just assumed it was something like that.”
“Don’t say anything. “At that time…”
Seoryang grumbled and expressed his difficult feelings at the time.
The story of being called to Lee Cheon-sang as soon as he woke up, the experience of being stuck in a bamboo forest and pooping himself to death, the experience of going around the seven magic houses as a inspector, going through the Beast Palace, and winning the battle for the successor, etc.
I told Yeo Sang-rin a story I had never told anyone before. Yeo Sang-rin was amused by Seo-ryang’s story, sometimes with a surprised expression and sometimes with a sympathetic expression, and occasionally adding a hint of humor.
“…and then we came to this point.”
“Hey, after hearing this, it seems like you were really only looking ahead.”
“I have that feeling. “Well, I wasn’t in the mood to run leisurely.”
“Iknow, right.”
Seo-ryang scratched his head as a sudden thought occurred to him.
“Because I’m chatting, I end up talking about all sorts of things to you. “I didn’t even tell Dongpil.”
“Cluck.”
“What is that smile like an old woman missing all her teeth?”
“You’re rude!”
Yeo Sang-rin, who shot Seo-ryang once, smiled comfortably again.
“Are you feeling more relaxed now?”
Seo-ryang’s face darkened.
“Is there anything else to do other than let loose? However, it seems like the congestion is going down when I talk about it calmly.”
“Then that’s enough.”
Yeo Sang-rin continued to smirk. Even Seo-ryang didn’t know what she was thinking.
“By the way, Lord Sogyo, you really are a bitch. No matter how much I was the King of Sal, I came this far in just two years… Wow, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of it.”
“If I struggle to find time to sleep, I can somehow manage.”
“I can’t do that because I’m lazy by nature.”
“If you know, fix it, man. “Who wants to be diligent and live in this mess?”
“Even if you don’t have to be diligent, everyone is there to help you.”
“And then you get stabbed later.”
“You can help me avoid getting hit.”
“Suggest it to your brother.”
Yeosangrin giggled and laughed.
It may be a bit unexpected, but I definitely felt lighter after talking to her. Unlike the sigh I felt after the conversation with Ma Dong-pil, I felt fundamentally at ease.
Yeo Sang-rin stood up.
“I don’t know when the enemy will come, but don’t be too nervous. “You must have suffered a bone ailment from the battle with King Biyo. We will take care of it.”
“Arthur. “People are dying needlessly.”
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but in your current state, Lord Xiao, we can never handle the enemy. “Isn’t it too risky to fight me, let alone protect Ma?”
“It’s not that much, but… well, you’re right.”
Xiliang’s eyes lit up.
“That’s why this fight is meaningful.”
Another day has passed.
“Master Xiao.”
Ma Dong-pil’s voice showed concern.
“Are you okay?”
“are you okay.”
Xiliang’s condition seemed worse than before.
His complexion was pale and the area under his eyes was dark. Just looking at his appearance, he seemed like a person who wouldn’t be surprised if he died soon.
It was already winter and the wind was cold, and the internal injuries were getting worse. Although I ate on time and slept well, there was no fundamental cure.
Gorumazon also didn’t say anything, but looked worried.
“No matter how much you think about it, it’s impossible. “Please leave this fight to us.”
Ma Dong-pil glanced at Gorumazon.
After stubbornly maintaining his loyalty to Xiliang, he had many conversations with Gorumazon. Thanks to this, I was embarrassed and learned a lot.
Xu Liang said with a smile.
Perhaps because of his poor complexion, his smile seemed oddly sad.
“I told you before, right? I can do it all. “Didn’t Mazon decide to take a step back?”
“Of course it was, but at that time, Lord Xiao didn’t have this much trouble.”
“Do not worry. “Because it’s the state I’ve been hoping for.”
“Huh.”
Gorumazon continued stroking his beard.
Unlike Seoryang, whose condition became more serious as the days passed, Gorumazon, Ma Dongpil, and Yeo Sangrin had recovered to more than eight-quarters of their body degrees.
In particular, Ma Dong-pil’s recovery speed was dazzling. This was because the high concentration of evil energy remaining in the body actually maximized the healing effect of Geumgang Yacha Magick, but even taking that into account, recovery was rapid. The reason is that he was on the verge of death while dealing with a peak expert who was over 30 years old at the time.
Xiliang looked around.
“It looks like Jinmadae has recovered his stamina as well.”
The number of cavalry, which used to be three hundred, is now a little less than two hundred and fifty. This is because more than 50 demons died in battle at Hwangbose.
Seo-ryang once again felt sorry and sad. If he had died in the fight against the Uicheonmaeng, it could be said that he died for the greater good of the Demon Island. However, while they came to protect Xiaojiaoju, they got caught up in the battle and lost their precious lives.
‘I need to broaden my horizons.’
As I thought about the number of victims, I became aware of my position once again.
Sogyoju is a person who has the authority to command all the troops of Shingyo. If so, you must have a certain sense of responsibility and weight.
What I only knew in my head, I now accepted in my heart.
Because there were people who accepted their past with confidence, the resentment that they had harbored for so long that they had forgotten about was relieved and they were finally able to face themselves accurately.
‘It was a mistake to go to catch King Biyo. But I got it in the end, so I don’t regret it.’
Pajik! Puzzle!
A blue electric light glowed from Seo-ryang’s fingertips.
“…In the end, King Biyo was a heart demon to me.”
At that time, a cherry blossom came running hurriedly from afar.
She, who I hadn’t seen in two days, appeared carrying a rather large bowl. Surprisingly, warm steam was rising from the bowl.
“Master Sujiao!”
“Are you a cherry blossom?”
“Eat this!”
Xu Liang looked at the bowl with bewildered eyes.
Surprisingly, it was meat soup. In this barren land, they made soup with rabbit meat that was somehow caught even in the middle of winter.
“There’s going to be a fight soon… You need to cheer up.”
Aenghwa’s body was dirty. His clothes were covered in dirt, his face blackened with charcoal, and his blood-covered hands looked pitiful.
I thought he was spending time alone because it was difficult to accept the past of the person he was serving, but that wasn’t the case. He was struggling alone to make health food for Seoryang.
For a moment, Seo-ryang felt his heart pounding.
Like Ma Dong-pil, who showed consistent faith, and Yeo Sang-rin, who made me feel relieved, although we didn’t have much conversation, they conveyed emotion through their actions.
“Thank you, cherry blossom.”
“Nothing to say!”
Xiliang turned his gaze into the dense forest.
The enemy finally began to be visible to the naked eye, with a thick dust peak rising in the distance.
“I’m going to eat the meat soup that our Aenghwa made and scold those damn bastards.”
