– The day of the return of the world is not far away. When that day comes, the heavens of evil will cover the world, and the unbelievers will be engulfed in eternal calamity and suffer! It is unfortunate that I will not be able to witness that day with my own eyes… … .
Five demons attacked the Asura statue.
Their corpses disappeared from the world without even leaving a trace.
The liberated Hwaryeongs burned their corpses to the point that only bone dust remained, as if venting their anger, and even that was blown away by the wind.
Even Hwagolsan, which specializes in melting corpses, could not erase the traces so cleanly.
So those guys disappeared without a trace in the world, but Cheonhwa was left with something.
Just the information.
He had a deep resentment about what he had not achieved and about not being able to directly experience the world he had wanted, so when I touched on it slightly, it blew up comically easily.
As their status within the Demonic Cult was quite high, I was able to resolve many of the questions I had been wondering about.
“It’s become quite serious.”
First of all, we have confirmed that many of the recent evils are the work of the Demonic Cult.
Some say that it was the work of a cult or a political faction that imitated the name of the Demonic Cult for their own gain, but the Demonic Cult actually infiltrated many people into the Central Plains to carry out acts, and is continuing to carry out acts or plan to do so.
– I don’t know who they are. But because of them, the great undertaking was brought forward. Now, it is not long, but it is a pity that I did not see that day… … .
However, Cheonhwa’s vague prediction turned out to be correct.
Among the series of events that occurred after he entered the world of martial arts, some of the events that were thought to be the work of the Demonic Cult were not their doing.
It is unknown whether this person is ignorant because he lacks knowledge or whether he truly has no connection to the Demonic Cult.
However, it was certain that there was someone else who could be called an assistant, who had expedited the progress of the Demonic Cult and had contributed to the achievement of their goals.
We’ll have to check who did that and for what purpose.
– We only have five of them. What a pity. Now we just need to collect eight more to obtain the Asura Pacheonmu… … !
Next, I asked about the Asura statue.
As expected by Cheonhwa, it was divided into thirteen pieces, and the Demonic Cult had already obtained five of them.
And if you collect them all, it seems like you can obtain the peerless martial art called Asura Pacheonmu.
Of course, I had never heard of it, and I had no idea what it would look like or what level it would be when it was completed, but just by looking at its crazy name, I knew that it was a divine art that would shatter heaven and earth and place them under my feet.
Because of that, I even thought about trying it once, but I wasn’t the type of person who would go on such an adventure or do something good for others.
– The whereabouts of six of the remaining eight have been confirmed. We were about to launch an all-out offensive to get our hands on them… … !
Additionally, it has been confirmed that an all-out offensive will soon take place to steal the remaining statues.
That’s why Cheonhwa’s complexion couldn’t help but harden.
Of the remaining eight, he owns two.
If we make a rubbing, there are three.
It was expected that at least four of the remaining six would be sealed between the Jeongpa and Sapa factions, but unfortunately, the exact locations could not be confirmed because the guy himself did not know them personally.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t he be included in the total offensive he spoke of?
No, actually, it doesn’t matter anyway.
If you rush in, you’ll just have to knock them all down.
But the problem was that one of his statues was kept in Haomen.
If they had directly invaded the Akyang branch, the relatively weak Haomun would not have been able to stop them.
It would take a lot of damage, and if you’re lucky, you might be able to steal it, but if you don’t know exactly what their intentions are, there’s a good chance it’ll be taken away before you can do anything.
‘You dare aim for me?’
It was a future that hadn’t happened yet, but the very attempt was disgusting.
It was natural that the perception of Cheonhwa’s Demonic Cult, which was not good to begin with, would worsen further.
– Hwaryeong? Eunuch? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Holy Fire is the grace of the Holy Grail that He gave. It’s a glorious flame that is not granted to just anyone!
And lastly, it’s about Hwaryeong.
Those flames they call holy fire, and in the Central Plains they call magic fire.
When asked exactly how those who were not qualified could handle the twisted and polluted spirit energy, the guy only babbled nonsense.
First of all, he seemed unaware of the eunuch who dealt with the Ice Spirit in a similar way, and the same goes for the Hwaryeong.
I didn’t like the way he was swinging his power around without even knowing exactly what it was, but that’s why I could tell.
The point is that sanctification is not something they acquire, but something that is instilled in them by someone.
‘The Holy Grail… … It must be some kind of divine being.’
The one who did it was their religious leader, Cheonma, but the word ‘Holy Grail’ was on their lips.
It seemed that the Holy Grail was a special item that allowed one to manipulate and infuse the spirit’s energy.
If it was a divine item that could control the spirit of Hwa-ryeong, it was something that even the Cheon-eum-mun didn’t have, so I was interested, but since it was also the leader’s divine item, it seemed like it would be difficult to steal or see.
If I come across that guy named Cheonma, I will try to steal it, but I don’t have the leisure to go and find that guy who is lurking in the distant Sipmandaesan Mountains.
So, Cheonhwa, who had resolved some of his curiosity, got up from his seat with a rather relieved expression.
“Great Hero. Are you ready to go?”
“No. There’s still one left.”
He stopped the coachman who was still hiding in the carriage and peeking out, as if he was still scared, and then turned his gaze somewhere.
“How long are you going to hide? Will you come out when I say something nice?”
“… … .”
But there was no response.
The groom also glanced in the same direction as Cheonhwa, but saw nothing.
“Do you want to play hide-and-seek? Okay. Hide somewhere and hide well… … .”
Tadah!
Eventually, Cheonhwa walked lightly towards them, and at that moment, a figure popped out from where there was nothing.
‘This is… … .’
That’s incredible speed.
To this extent, it was a method of reverence that could be called a martial arts mastery, even if it did not reach the level of the King of Fighters.
With such quick movements, the bastard came rushing in.
Despite being discovered and being chased by eyes, he ran towards Cheonhwa at the shortest distance, not because of his speed, but because he naturally displayed a special skill that momentarily blurred the opponent’s perception.
His breathing and techniques, his concise movements and even his special Qi that impedes cognition.
I felt that they were all of an exceptional level and realm that ordinary people could not even imitate.
‘A dark spirit?’
Not only that, but he had a rather different spirit energy about him.
It is unclear whether this is a special characteristic of the martial arts itself or something he learned separately, but the spirit of darkness is with him.
At that sight, Cheonhwa thought of Han Salsu’s nickname.
“?!”
Murder.
One whose name is listed alongside the Three Kings and Five Kings of Heaven.
He was also called the best assassin in the world, the king of assassins, or the Dark Heavenly Emperor.
However, the reason they were given the nickname of King or Je is because they were not very visible and had difficulty uniting their forces.
Also, there were many parts where the unmanned people forcibly belittled the assassins who did not raise their swords in the front, as they despised and despised them.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was not because they looked down on him, but because they were afraid.
The reason why the story lingered in my ears was that if I put in my best effort, I would be able to kill not only the King of Touwang, but also other kings and even those who had been given the title of Emperor.
Such a person threw himself with all his might towards Cheonhwa.
Iron fist!
Kuung!!
“Please save me!!!”
To be exact, he begged for his life, bowing his head to the ground until it bled.
“What are you doing?”
“I was blind and followed the Great Swordsman all the way here. But now that I’ve decided to give up, please be lenient!!”
“… … .”
It was such a clean move, such a clean admission.
It felt like I had practiced countless times for this moment.
At this point, Cheonhwa, who was thinking about how to cook the guy, was at a loss for words and couldn’t take any action.
What on earth is this guy doing?
Salsu, is that really the murderer?
I just looked at him with incredulous eyes for a moment.
Cheonhwa, who confirmed that there was no sign of resistance or surprise from the bastard, put the Ice Spirit Medicine on his shoulder and asked again.
“Then tell me. Who are you? Why did you follow me? And why did you surrender so easily?”
Although the idea of leniency didn’t suit him, he had to hear it anyway.
“Of course. I’ll tell you everything!”
Then, the guy, acting like a fool, answered Cheonhwa’s questions with all his heart.
He talked so long that it was almost as if he was talking too much, but to summarize, this is what I got.
He came to kill himself and take over everything of the King.
I heard that Cheonhwa was called an evil spirit, that he was a new member of the Three Kings and Four Kings, and that he had the power to do so, but I didn’t care.
Considering that he is young and that all those he defeated were top-notch figures, I expected it to be at the extreme level, and although that is unlikely, if you set your mind to it and prepare, you should be able to kill them easily, even at the beginning of the Hwagyeong.
“But I thought it wouldn’t work so I was about to give up?”
“Yes. If you rush in after seeing the Great Swordsman cooking the minions, you’re not a murderer. Oh my, that’s just a crazy person, a suicidal person. I’ve completely abandoned such thoughts. Not only me, but from now on, no assassin in the Central Plains will dare to show his will to the Great Swordsman. I plan to send the Salcheonryeong as soon as I return.”
However, my thoughts completely changed when I saw how they dealt with the mines.
Even though they were only at the peak of their peak, or the pinnacle of their peak, the yin-gong skills that Cheonhwa displayed were far beyond his expectations, and even he himself did not have the confidence to block or avoid them.
Defeat. And defeat.
These were the words that came to mind when Salgui faced him.
If you rush in, you will definitely die.
Because I am more sensitive to death than anyone else, I could feel it more clearly.
I was able to accept my thoughts and feelings that came to me in a split second straight away without distorting them.
He even came up with the idea of mobilizing the Salcheonryeong, who would give orders to all the assassins, to make sure that they would never come near him.
It wasn’t so much to save the lives of the victims as it was to worry that the sparks might fly to him.
“Are you really a murderer?”
“That’s what people call me, but please call me whatever you want. Hehehe.”
It might have been an obvious statement, but it was absurd since the other person had revealed that he was a murderer.
“No matter who the opponent is, I have never failed, and I can kill anyone I put my mind to. I think that’s what he said.”
“I’ve never failed. I only take on missions that I know will succeed. It’s a bit of an exaggerated reputation. Hehe. I do my research beforehand and only take on missions that I know will have a 100% chance of succeeding. If I don’t take on a mission, I never fail. As you know, if our assassins fail even once, they’re dead… … .”
So when Cheonhwa asked him questions, the guy kept giving unexpected answers.
He admitted that he was a person called a murderer, but he humbled himself endlessly.
But, the bastard’s skills were real.
The entrance to Hwagyeong.
Because that was the realm that Cheonhwa felt.
Considering the assassins’ methods, which specialized in assassination rather than direct confrontation, it was absurd that such a person would give up and surrender so easily, but there was no lie in those words.
I just felt very pure and firm thoughts and beliefs.
“Then, were you confident that you could kill the king?”
“Yes. Honestly, that’s possible. I’ve actually been thinking about it for quite some time, but that inspiration is so elusive that he can’t stay in one place for too long. That’s why I haven’t really had a chance. I’m confident in a head-on confrontation, but since his repentance method is so special, he runs away if you even get close… … .”
It was a story that would have made the King grab the back of his neck if he had heard it, but it was mostly true.
If the King of Fighters decides to run away, even if he is surrounded, there is very little that can stop him and capture him.
That’s why he had to be subdued by ambush, but since he was such a light-weight character, an ambush wasn’t easy.
So, I kept putting it off day after day and was waiting for an opportunity when I heard that Cheonhwa had inherited everything from the king.
If that were the case, he thought things would be easier and chased after him to subdue him, but after seeing how he dealt with the minions, his thoughts completely changed.
So I was looking for a chance to escape, but I got caught by Cheonhwa.
That was it now.
“But I can’t even imagine doing that to you, hyung. I’ve met almost all of the other Samjeo-owangsamgwi, and most of them showed at least some potential, if not ten percent. Maybe thirty to sixty percent? That’s why I didn’t take on any requests, but there were only two people like you who didn’t show even a single possibility of doing anything, no, not even a single thing. Are you like the sun in the sky, beyond the point of feeling like nothing will work out? When gloomy guys like me approach you, I feel like I’d melt! Ugh! Ah, hyung. Can I take you as my hyung?”
“Are you really a slayer? What kind of slayer is this reckless?”
For a guy like that, he was quite playful, so when Cheonhwa asked with a still bewildered expression, the guy scratched his head and gave a reasonable answer.
“Hehe. Brother. You’re a person who always gets blood on your hands, so how can you just go around with a straight face? You have to live like you’re a little crazy. Otherwise, I won’t be able to handle this.”
The expression on the face of the guy who was patting my head and smiling bashfully was half an act.
As a living being who is constantly confronted with death, if I were to be serious, I would become endlessly depressed and bleak, so I take this lightness to protect my mind and at least a minimum of my humanity.
It’s not that I didn’t understand it, but it’s also true that I couldn’t adapt to it.
Cheonhwa shook her head and thought again.
‘There are two of them.’
The two people in that bastard’s words.
I wonder who those two are and what powers they have.
“Excuse me… Brother. I have some work to do, so can I go now?”
While secretly looking at Cheonhwa’s expression, Salgwi opened his mouth again.
Although he is trying to talk to her in a friendly manner, his current position is that of a prisoner waiting to be dealt with.
If they didn’t want to spare me, I would have to put up a desperate resistance, but honestly, I had no confidence, so I used my acting skills that I had built up throughout my life to make the most pitiful expression possible and asked them to release me.
He never really held me back, but he knew he couldn’t leave this place unless he allowed it.
“Go? Who cares? The calculations haven’t been completed yet.”
“Thank you… … Yes? Calculation?”
But of course, Cheonhwa had no intention of just letting him go.
My ears were already starting to get itchy, so I wanted to throw it away, but wasn’t it someone who was trying to take my life?
It was too great a sin to be repaid with just a few words.
Also, if it was a murder, there would be a lot of things to tear off and exploit.
“Anyway, you’re saying that you were trying to take my life? You’re saying that if I fail at killing you, I’ll die? Then you owe me your life.”
“Uh, uh… … Is that how it is?”
“That’s not all. If there’s a failure, the client should naturally take responsibility as well, right?”
“That’s true, but this isn’t a case where there’s a separate client… … .”
“Why isn’t it there? It’s here.”
When the guy made a blank expression as if he didn’t know what to do, Cheonhwa lifted the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine hanging on her shoulder and pointed at the guy.
“You. I guess you made the request yourself. So you have two lives?”
“What kind of… … is that a famous verdict? That’s right. That’s right. Brother, do you happen to use the Po surname? I would believe you even if you said you were a descendant of Bao Qingtian!”
The guy who was so shocked was about to refute her, but when Cheonhwa glared at him, he abruptly changed his stance.
This is a situation where you have to nod in agreement even if it’s said to a deer.
If you don’t want to die.
“And lastly. If you were after my money, you deserve to die. So that’s three in total.”
“… … !”
But at the last words, even Salgwi couldn’t answer with a clap of hands.
I couldn’t refuse it, but it was difficult to accept it for the time being.
“Uh, uh. Brother? I’m a savior who doesn’t know when I’ll die, so I have some things saved up, but it’s not that much… … .”
“Okay. Let’s do this.”
But Cheonhwa was more serious than ever.
After thinking about what I should get in exchange for the bastard’s three lives, I nodded my head as if I had made up my mind while looking at the bastard sweating profusely.
“Hey, let’s work together.”
If you don’t have money, you have to fight with your body.
He presented conditions that suited him according to the principles and natural order of things, which are the same as the truth of the ages.
