Episode 24 – Mad Demon
The old man standing on the roof of the missionary office, a mad ghost.
Kwai Cheong Cheon quietly watched the appearance of Gwang Maeum Gwi.
Did he learn some martial arts that enhanced his sense of smell? The fish came before he could even throw out the bait.
In a way, it was a situation where he had caught a big fish without putting in any effort. However, Kwae Cheong Cheon could not think that way.
A long silence and stillness descended.
All of the warriors from the Chupung Swordsmen and Cheonpung Swordsmen, including Kwae Cheong Cheong Cheon, shut their mouths and looked at Gwangmaeum Gwi, who was standing on the roof of the Seonmu Hall.
Even amidst the focused attention, Gwangmaumgui was arrogant.
Even in front of so many people, Gwangmaumgui didn’t show any sign of panic.
His eyes were filled with ‘interest’ rather than ‘bewilderment’.
Finally, the mouth of the mad ghost opened.
“A bunch of rascals gathered together and were making a bunch of nonsense.”
It was a creepy voice, like nails scraping metal. There was no special inner strength in it. Nevertheless, when I heard the voice of the mad ghost, my whole body froze like a stone statue.
“Sorry, sorry! Please, please Haberma Jabir···!!”
Naeng Gwangmyeong fell flat on the floor and begged for mercy. Following Naeng Gwangmyeong, the members of the Goeseongmun also twisted their bound bodies and buried their heads in the ground.
The gaze of the Gwangmaumgui fell on the members of the Cold Light and the Ghostly Gate. However, they soon passed by, and the Gwangmaumgui gaze stopped again.
Gwangmaumgui’s gaze stopped in front of Cheongun.
“It’s you. The one who turned my salty loneliness into bubbles.”
A red light flashed in the eyes of the demon looking up at Cheongun. And they were not human eyes at all.
The demon spirit clearly had a human appearance. However, Kwai Cheong Cheon couldn’t bear to think of the demon spirit as a human.
The vast continent of the world was filled with trash that didn’t even look human. It was overflowing with evil spirits wearing human skulls.
As the leader of the Chupung Swordsmanship, Kwai Cheong Cheon had to deal with countless criminals in the martial arts world, so now even the most common evil spirits didn’t seem like evil spirits to him.
But······it’s different.
The evil spirits of Gwangmaumgui were different from the vicious criminals that Kwaecheoncheon dealt with.
If the criminals that Kwai Cheong Cheon had seen so far were ‘demons’ wearing a mask, then Gwang Maeum Gwi could be said to be a ‘devil’ that could not be hidden even with a mask.
The rumors were not wrong at all.
If you see a Gwangmaumgui, a first-rate expert will keep a distance of at least three zhang, a second-rate martial artist will not even look at it, and a third-rate person is as good as dead the moment he enters your sight.
Rumors tend to be exaggerated, but seeing the Gwangmaumgui in person made me realize that rumors are never exaggerated.
Kwai Cheong Cheon swallowed his saliva.
And that was when it happened.
“Are you, by any chance, Senior Gwangmaumgui?”
Cheongun suddenly took a step forward and asked. Kwai Cheongcheon’s eyes widened as he watched.
‘Not at all pushed back by the momentum of the mad ghost?’
As expected, a strange light appeared in Gwangma-eum-gwi’s eyes.
“They say that you turned salt into bubbles all by yourself, but it turns out it wasn’t just a false rumor.”
The madman opened his mouth again, clicking his tongue.
“Yes. I am the one with the mad mind. I am the one who instigated the salty pursuit you were chasing.”
“What kind of confidence are you?”
Cheongun asked Gwangmaeumgui, and it was a question that Kwaecheoncheon was also curious about.
I admit that Gwangmaumgui is a master of the highest level. I also admit that he is an opponent that Kwaecheoncheon alone cannot handle.
But there was nothing but clear skies here.
The members of the Chupung Swordsmanship were gathered together. Namgung Yerin of the Namgung Se-ga was there, and there were also warriors of the Cheonpung Swordsmanship.
The royal guards were not here because they were escorting Ju Gwan-cheon, but they will be here tomorrow or so.
“What on earth made you come here in person?”
Gwangmaumgui was in the position of a ‘fugitive’, never a ‘pursuer’. Cheongwoon did not suggest the ‘bait’ strategy for nothing.
Gwangmaumgui would not have been unaware of this fact either.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
The madman clicked his tongue again.
“I came here because I am confident that I can kill you all.”
Kwaaaa …
A tremendous amount of energy was released from the entire body of the demon spirit. Everyone gathered in the missionary hall was shocked, without exception.
······It was truly an unbelievable amount of internal energy.
No matter how great a master you are, it is natural for you to age and become weaker as time goes by. However, it is said that ‘monsters’ become more vicious as they age.
Kuuung─!
A heavy weight, like a rock, weighed down my entire body. In an instant, my internal energy was restricted and my body couldn’t move.
“Kimunjinshik!”
A voice came out of Kwai Cheong Cheon’s mouth without his knowledge.
Strange Gate Chen style.
It meant the method of arranging things according to the principles of other sacred books such as the Book of Changes or the Bagua to apply the law.
To the martial artists, it is considered a minor magic or trick, but it is by no means something to be ignored.
Zhuge Shi of Shandong Province.
Jegal Se-ga specialized in the ‘Gimunjinsik’ using his brilliant mind and rose to the ranks of the five great families like Namgung Se-ga.
The Gimunjinshik displays magical powers that are almost magical.
However, there was a drawback. In order to use this method, ‘preliminary preparation’ of arranging the objects was absolutely necessary.
In other words, it means that the Kwangmaumgui has completed preparations in advance for the missionary office.
‘how···?’
It was at that moment that Kwae Cheong Cheon began to have doubts.
Gulp, gurgle!
Suddenly, a strange sound was heard from behind Kwaecheoncheon. He quickly turned his head and looked there, and there, the face of the head of the Goeseongmun, Naenggwangmyeong, was swollen.
It looks like a rubber ball that is inflated with air.
Only then was Kwai Cheong Cheon able to realize that what Gwang Ma-eum Gwi had cast was not Gi Moon Jin Sik.
“Gimunhyeolshik···.”
Strange blood type.
The Gimunhyeol method was no different from the Gimunjin method in that it demonstrated magical methods.
However, while ‘Kimunjinshik’ uses the ‘true essence of things’ to perform this method, ‘Kimunhyeolshik’ uses the ‘blood of people’ rather than the true essence of things to perform this method.
And the blood of the person used by the mad ghost.
Gulp, gurgle!
They were none other than the members of the Goeseongmun sect, including Naenggwangmyeong.
“Save, save, save···!”
Cold Light Myung twisted his body and crawled on the floor. His swollen face no longer had a human form.
The light-hearted ghost that looked at such cold light could not be considered a human being either.
“I told you to refrain from taking action for the time being, but you disobeyed my orders, so shouldn’t you pay the price?”
Pfft!
The cold-light-minded man’s face burst and his flesh flew away. Following him, the members of the Gossip Gate burst out one by one.
Everyone was speechless in shock at the shocking sight.
Blood sprayed in all directions like a waterfall. A thick blood mist formed and took over the entire missionary center.
A very evil and cruel magic technique, Gimunhyeolshik.
Kwai Cheong Cheon couldn’t move. Even though he gathered all his energy, the blood vessels in his entire body were blocked and he couldn’t move.
If Kwaecheoncheon was like that, then others were no different.
“This, this is···!”
“Ugh···!”
Chupunggeomdae, Cheonpunggeomdae, and even Namgung Yerin were all unable to move.
‘I got hit.’
If this side spread the ‘bait’, then the mad ghost set the ‘trap’.
The red-blooded leader of the Demonic Cult, the mad ghost.
He was more vicious than rumors say, and more terrifying than rumors say.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh···.”
The light-hearted ghost slowly descended from the roof of the missionary office.
* * *
The ghosts that came down from the roof walked lightly. The desperate expressions of those struggling in traps were always pleasant to see.
“Don’t try so hard. The blood clot is one that even I can’t break.”
Earth-bound blood clot.
This blood formation, which is activated using human blood, binds not only the internal energy of those who enter the blood formation, but also their entire body, just like the word ‘Ji-bak (地縛)’ suggests.
Because it is so powerful, it is not easy to activate, but once activated, no matter how great the master is, he cannot escape it.
Every single day.
During that time, no one here can move their body.
It wasn’t a very long time, but it wasn’t a short time either.
It was enough time to take a light stroll around the village, and it was enough time to kill all those who were tied up.
It was also enough time to enjoy some light ‘womanly pleasures’.
The gaze of the mad ghost turned to one place. At the end of the gaze, there was a woman whose entire body was bound by blood and unable to move.
The precious jewel of the Namgung family, Namgung Yerin.
“They say that the daughters of the Namgung family are the most beautiful in the world···.”
The eyes of the mad ghost scanned Namgung Yerin’s body.
Skin as white and clean as the snow that has piled up all winter.
A face with large, sparkling eyes and subtle shading.
Her slightly raised eyelashes made many men’s hearts flutter, and her lips, as red as a ripe apple, were incomparably tempting.
“It wasn’t just a rumor.”
What man in the world could not be swayed by that beauty?
Even if he were the emperor, he would never be able to escape if he were entangled in the hem of that skirt. It is a beauty of such a beauty that it can bring down a country.
“I will kill you all, but I will show you special mercy and give you a good view before I die.”
Gwangmaumgui slowly approached Namgung Yerin. Namgung Yerin struggled with all her might, but she could not escape the bloodline’s bonds.
Gwangmaumgui appeared in front of Namgung Yerin. Namgung Yerin now had a face filled with fear. Tears welled up in her eyes as if she had sensed her fate.
The madman swung his sharp claws.
Chomp!
Namgung Yerin’s clothes were torn in an instant. The torn hem fell to the floor, revealing Namgung Yerin’s white, smooth inner skin.
Wedge!
A single sword was fiercely shot towards the demon spirit.
* * *
Kaang-!
I could see the expression on Gwangmaumgui’s face, panicked as he heard a loud noise. Gwangmaumgui was blocking my swinging sword with his nails.
Although the demon with the devilish mind did not seem human, he still had a human body.
Of course, he couldn’t block the blade with his nails, so it was clear that Gwangmaumgui had learned the martial art of using his nails and fingers, ‘Claw Technique’.
There were some martial artists who learned the method.
However, it was only learned as an ‘auxiliary martial art’, and it was very rare for it to be learned as a ‘main martial art’.
The most evil of people who find ‘pleasure’ in killing people with their own hands learn the art of killing as their main martial art.
“You bastard···!”
The face of the mad ghost looking at me was filled with confusion. Taking advantage of the gap in confusion, I swung my sword again, and the mad ghost took a big step back.
I had to push him before he could overcome his confusion······.
It didn’t follow the light of day.
I moved my body to cover Namgung Yerin’s front exquisitely. I took off my top and covered Namgung Yerin’s body. Namgung Yerin’s eyes, looking at me, shook greatly.
“You! How can you move from the bonds of the Jibaksaekyeoljin!!”
Soon, I heard the voice of the mad ghost. His face, still not quite recovered from his confusion, was filled with a look of shock as he looked at me.
“Even if you are a master of the highest level, you cannot escape the bonds of the Jibaksaekyeoljin!”
It seemed like they were using human lives as sacrifices, and as expected, the blood blast had considerable power.
So it seemed quite surprising that I was able to move freely, but the problem was that I was also like that.
So I was surprised too. That’s why I didn’t know why.
Really. I really don’t know.
However, I could make a guess.
The ‘Jipbaksaehyeoljin’ of the Gwangmaeumgui seemed to block the eight meridians and twelve channels of the martial artists.
It seemed like a blood clot that was blocking the use of internal energy and binding the body, but all of my eight meridians and twelve channels were already blocked.
and.
‘It seems like I can move my body thanks to the spirit energy of the Youngbo Pilbeop.’
That would be the case, because right now the spirit energy of the Four Guardian Spirits was roaring and running wild inside my body.
The reaction of the ‘spiritual energy’ of the grim reaper to the ‘blood energy’ of the bloodline that was trying to bind my body was ‘dare’.
The Youngbo Pil method, which can be called the secret method of the immortals.
This method of mind, which was created by Zhong Liquan after receiving instruction from Taishang Laojun, was a method that was learned by numerous Taoist immortals, including the Eight Immortals.
No matter how powerful and evil the Jibaksaehyeoljin is, it is nothing compared to the spiritual power of Yeongbopilbeop.
But that was it.
I was able to free myself from the bonds of the Jibaksaekhyeoljin, but I was unable to destroy the Jibaksaekhyeoljin itself.
Everyone except me, including Namgung Yerin, Kwai Cheong Cheon, Chupung Geom Dae, and Cheonpung Geom Dae, is trapped in the bonds of Jibak Saehyeol Jin.
That means I had to deal with the mad ghost all by myself.
“You would be worth turning into a zombie and studying your body.”
The madness of the madman’s ears soars.
In the past, the red-blooded leader of the Demonic Cult who brought fear to the world.
······He is not a human being of the level I can deal with.
You shouldn’t think about the unmanned people of Horonggwan.
It can’t even be compared to the members of the Goeseongmun Gate.
No matter how much you grow, it’s difficult to deal with the mad ghost alone.
No, that’s impossible.
In that case, the idea of running away from here would be an extremely ‘rational’ and ‘rational’ decision.
‘no.’
But he shook his head.
I’m not the same person anymore.
Although I am not at the level of a match for the mad demons, I will not give up as easily as I used to. Even if I become a cripple at the end of this path, I will not stop walking this path.
I vowed never to give up on a fight, even one I could never win.
I took a step forward, not backward.
When I suddenly came to my senses.
Taeeulseon martial arts sword.
My second invitation.
A sword of the heavenly weight.
Before I knew it, a black light was rushing towards my body and my mind.
