Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-278

“First, Hwa Sun, pick five of your strongest and sharpest men. Get your energy ready and when I give a signal, run ahead.”

“Yes!”

“Bigun, you select three of those who are big and have a good body. And again, on my signal, run to the rear, like you are escorting someone out.”

“I understand. But even if we do that…”

“It is to distract the enemy. When the members of the unit with different natures split apart before and after, they have no choice but to divide their troops. That will keep them from concentrating their strength and at the same time buy time for reinforcements to arrive.”

“Ah…”

The Captains and Heukgu immediately understood Seol-Hwi’s intentions.

The agile ones were running ahead while the big ones were running to the back.

If the elders had an idea, they would pursue the ones in front. Actually, one would think a bit more, but it was an urgent situation where they needed to get the upper hand.

Although the members themselves were in a hurry, the elders who were trying to capture him cannot give any leniency.

“Hwa Sun, your role is important in this fight. If the enemy pursues you at close range, use the divine weapon to wipe them out.”

Actually, the front line which Hwa Sun would lead was more like a warrior’s plan to wipe out small troops.

It was a strategy with the divine weapon in mind.

No matter how close the elder level ones were, if they were suddenly attacked, they would not be able to avoid the attack.

“Hwa Sun, you hold such a role, and the person who actually requests for reinforcements is Bigun.”

Bigun had the shoes.

Since he was already one with great movement, having the shoes would help with his efficiency.

Of course, he had to rely on luck too.

There is no special action needed and that is also luck.

A divine weapon—

In the past, he purchased weapons from Geum Man-jung, and those needed special actions. However, the things he gave to the subordinates here were different now.

Literal weapons of the central plains—

There was no such advanced function, but they could be used without special actions, and of course, there will be some internal energy consumption.

“Heukgu should look after Hwa Sun and help when he is in danger or when the elders come. In particular, most of the elders are people who have risen to Peak Demon, so one cannot be careless.”

If Heukgu and Hwa Sun were combined, it would not be so difficult to kill the elders one after another. Because both have the powers of divine weapons.

The problem was with the escorts from the elders. It bothered him that he could not figure out their skills.

“I get it. However, commander…”

“Do not worry. Because I have an idea too.”

Seol-Hwi’s face brightened. Even if this was rushed, if it went according to plan, even if elder level warriors could be killed.

From then, the Hidden Truth Corps alone can subdue them.

Swish

The waist was not as long as expected. Seeing the movements of the enemies, Seol-Hwi immediately reacted.

“Now.”

Tatatatk!

When Seol-Hwi gave the signal, Hwa Sun and Bigun rushed ahead in their exact positions.

Flinch!

As a result, the elders there were slightly shaken. Soon, they too began to move.

Shhh! Clack!

One could hear the muddy sound. Anyone could see that the Hidden Truth Corps was trying to run.

Ten people approached. How many were elders? How many were escorts? It was not known how many more would join them.

Even so, Seol-Hwi was there.

This fight. It’s worth a try.

He thought so. Right before the fight he accidentally opened the toolbox.

[Equipment] Golden Belt

Golden Belt, Purple grass.

[Medicine] Golden Pill 2 Purple Spirit Grass 30 Emperor Pill 1 Peach Blossom Pill 1 Vermillion Pill 1 [Other Pills] Great Virtue Pill [Miscellaneous Goods] Various Papers of Martial Arts Academy Hidden Sect’s Map (3/4) Hidden Key

It was the result of his efforts so far. Seol-Hwi picked the best ones.

<You want to wear the Golden belt?>

He finally saw the thing, and without neglecting it, he always put the item into the toolbox after every fight.

Without a moment’s delay, he immediately found something that would restore his physical strength and immediately put it in the belt.

He put them in and fortunately it went without any problem.

[Golden Pill] [Peach Blossom Pill] [Wheat ball] [Great Virtue Pill]

Originally, not just stamina, but also pills and medicinal items were placed in. But what kind of joke was the system up to?

He could not use his internal energy because of the ban. So now, he took it for the purpose of restoring his body.

“It has been a while since I fought…”

If one thought he was weak just because he had the dantian banned, then they were mistaken.

Seol-Hwi still had something left, his own level of nothingness. The state of Supreme Demon was not something which came from simply increasing internal energy.

It was also from experience accumulated by using one’s body, utilizing their weapons, and looking beyond one’s own limits.

“Where to now? Let’s see who gets smashed.”

Seol-Hwi clenched his fist while smiling as sharp as a blade.

The situation went differently from Seol-Hwi’s plan. The movements of the enemies rushing from all sides were faster than expected.

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

The troops of his, which were not even on master level, collapsed at the simplestab movements. And even those who reached super master level could only block the swords.

“Haaa!”

One of the elder’s escorts pushed a member aside and threw his sword at Seol-Hwi.

Thud!

Seol-Hwi who was somehow trying to avoid it, collided with a tree and groaned.

“Wow… this.”

He knew how serious this problem was. This was not a matter of physical or internal energy, but of the senses of his body which were below normal. Seol-Hwi saw the sword move at him and used the Golden Belt.

<Stamina increased rapidly.> <Stamina decreased due to the ban placed.>

Even though he took the pill, it was also being affected by the ban. However, it was fortunate that his stamina was not decreasing further, and he could breathe.

“Kuak!”

Just dodge the attack. It was not at a level where he could counterattack.

“Protect the commander!”

As Seol-Hwi was in trouble, the men gathered around him, but this only made another dangerous situation.

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

Nearly half of them were taken down right there.

“Huhuhu…”

An old man in dark appeared as he killed more than a dozen of them. His body felt so magnificent as he held the sword which was long.

Iron Demonic Blade.

He was not familiar with it, but as soon as he saw it, he knew it at once. Even though he did not get to the Supreme Demon level, he was a famous person in another world.

He was a person who once served as one of the Eight Major Warlords and was a general commander in the later time. He was a person who made a name for himself in the sect of his ruthless world called, the Giant Spirit White Blade.

And the escorts surrounded him.

“Look. Seeing the resistance, can we capture him alive?”

Another elder came ahead, one with white hair tied in topknot and a beard reaching down to his chest.

It was the Heavenly God Demon, Supreme Demon.

He was a famous one.

According to the trainer of the past, Chaotic Sky Demonic Arts that he used were known to hold tremendous destructive force. There were as many as four such elders here.

“Phew.”

Seol-Hwi sighed.

3,009… 3,008… 3,007…

And he thought while looking at the remaining time,

Surely there must be a way…

Even if the situation felt hopeless, there would be a way to survive. That was what the system always made sure existed.

It drove him to the brink of death, but it did not really try to kill him. However, dropping him at such a time meant there was such an intention. He had to somehow find out what it was so that he could overcome this crisis.

“How is it? Should I do it?”

Meanwhile the elders were having a conversation.

“Leave it to me.”

Hong Tap-guk moved.

Woong!

The huge blade in the middle of the night, he could feel the pressure as if facing a ghost. Seol-Hwi was in a hurry to avoid it, let alone fight him, so he moved the body.

His blade energy passed the back of Seol-Hwi.

Kwaaang!

“…!”

And he hesitated.

This was because the blade energy which passed by cut off part of the ground and caused a strong explosion.

Seol-Hwi mumbled in a low voice.

Is he really an elder level one? This doesn’t seem like normal blade energy.

Blade energy cuts off things which originally get in the way, but this made an explosion happen. It seemed to be of a different nature.

The heat which exploded was so hot, and the area of effect was so wide too.

“Kuahah. Look. You trying to kill him?”

“I didn’t know that one was so weak.”

“I heard that there was this rumor about him being on par with the First Disciple… is he the one?”

“Didn’t I tell you? The First Disciple did it on purpose, well!”

“Kuahaha!”

Even in the midst of the serious situation, they were laughing like they were having a fun time. Even so, in their eyes, he would seem like a child.

Time isn’t passing so easily.

Even though the gap between them was getting bigger, Seol-Hwi could not do anything. The helplessness he felt after seeing this in person was different from what he expected.

If everyone was at this level, then Hwa Sun and Heukgu will have a difficult time. He could only hope that Bigun managed to be safe.

“I will definitely catch him this time. Here!”

“Yep!”

At Hong Tap-guk’s words, the three escorts around him bowed.

“Get that guy over there. All you need to do is breathe, so it is alright to hit a limit.”

“I understand.”

The escort’s who received the order ran ahead. The members of the Hidden Truth Corps blocked the path to Seol-Hwi.

“It is fine. Stay in position.”

Seol-Hwi waved his hand. No matter how things turned out… he was not going to receive their help.

“Ha. Well. This happened?”

He took a step ahead and smiled, and the unknown escort moved to catch him.

At a glance he seemed to be at the master level. Even though the opponent could not be dealt with at his level now, Seol-Hwi watched the man called Hong Tap-guk.

If it is the way I think….

Seol-Hwi took one step at a time.

Swish!

As he leaped from the seat, the sword skills of those called escorts moved up. And they brushed past Seol-Hwi.

“Kuak!”

Part of his body was cut by the sword, but even so, Seol-Hwi did not stop. Fortunately, the guy did not attack continuously, so he got closer to the elder.

To Hong Tap-guk, it looked like a moth jumping into flame.

“Huhuh. This is why we cannot capture you alive.”

The words sounded sad, but his eyes were cold.

Contrary to the rumors, the skills of the Hidden Truth Corps Commander, Seol-Hwi, seemed poor.

Perhaps the Fourth Disciple’s troops intentionally heightened the name of the man. He decided that killing him would be a lot better now.

Shhh

Hong Tap-guk performed his skills towards Seol-Hwi, who rushed in despite being seriously injured.

Swish!

The blade energy created in the blink of an eye pierced the chest of Seol-Hwi. This time, it was pure energy without an explosion.

At that very moment—

<Peach Blossom Pill is being used.>

This appeared in front of Seol-Hwi’s eyes whose chest was pierced.

The Golden Belt—

It was aimed at just restoring the internal energy and stamina.

Temporarily, they were all used when a fatal wound was incurred.

In other words, it had the effect of restoring one’s health in extreme situations.

Tuk

Seol-Hwi put the palm on his head. He looked at the old man who was shocked, and said,

“If this fails… I die on my own.”

The opponent did not understand the meaning behind those words.

Woahhh!

He realized it only when he saw the wind moving in the palm. It was a technique which did not simply happen on its own.

<Wind God is being used.>

Seol-Hwi found what to use despite his internal energy being sealed.

Wind God, the special skill acquired by learning the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts.
