Papak!

The black wind covered the sky. The group of people rushing in, they were people who had been training to get stronger for decades.

The moment one of them attacked by taking the lead, they could continue to coordinate their attacks.

Kwakwakwang!

There was this energy which felt extremely poisonous along with fast moving sword shots, and then they felt the absolute martial arts being used.

Dudududuk!

The various attacks rushed quickly layered one after another, and there was more than enough to turn the party gathered there into nothing but flesh.

“This…”

“Ah…”

The Hidden Truth Corps and the secret warriors felt despair. However, the time for that feeling to change felt very short.

Swish!

The air flow which moved around had turned into a lie. It was as if time had stopped.

Those who had closed their eyes thinking they were going to die, saw that neither the explosion nor the shock of the attacks had touched them.

“Ah!”

A man whom they did not feel coming, had arrived.

His hair was long and hung down, and his mouth complained about something. It felt all too familiar.

His presence easily convinced them of this unrealistic situation.

“Void Control… that is…”

Ma Taryong frowned as soon as he understood what was happening.

Was it because things are bad? No, he did not understand it.

Wheik

A belt of flame bloomed around the troops of the Hidden Truth Corps. But it was no ordinary flame. It was instead one with the passion to burn everything down. The power which only those who went to Supreme Demon could use only if they practiced it for a long time.

Pat!

At some point, this supreme energy exploded.

Swish! Swish!

The flames which turned into the shape of the sword one after another began to burst, turning into dozens of sword spirits.

“A-Air Sword!”

Yong Jin screamed at this. The state of handling a weapon without touching it, the final stage of a swordsman.

However, what was unfolding in front of his eyes was not such a simple Air Sword. Creating flames in the shape of swords and then increasing them in number.

This was way too many martial arts. It meant that this man used close to three martial arts at the same time.

“Get lost!”

Papapat!

These swords of flame shot out in all directions. Their bodies twisted in reflex. The one who stepped in the air jumped and the others dropped down fast—

Each of them was attempting to dodge in their own way, but none of them could stop the attack.

“Kuak!”

“Ack!”

Puak! Puak!

Of the 14 out who had jumped in the air, they had collapsed. Two of the three had barely held themselves up, but they soon felt like their organs were tangled up and coughed in pain.

Just one person managed to barely survive despite being covered in flames all over their body.

It was Jeok Su-yang, the Poison King Hall Leader.

Wheik

“Kua.”

But his face was contorted in pain.

No matter what kind of flame it was, once it touched the body it would not go out.

Hit it, roll on the ground, or just let it burn.

In the end, when he pulled out and suppressed the flame, it finally stopped seeping into his body. But that was all he could do.

If he lost concentration even for a moment, the flame would come for him.

Truly a flame of hell. It was a flame worthy of any name.

“Kuak! Ah…”

“Uhhhh! I…”

One by one, they could not stand it and groaned louder. They knew it made no sense to hope for the others to get better, since even the leader Jeok Su-yang was holding onto his breath.

“Indeed, truly indestructible…”

Step step.

The one who created this living hell with one move walked ahead. When he looked up, he was the man who seemed a lot younger than he thought.

No, it was just young, the skin was radiant enough to be shocking and the balance was very subtle but well kept. It seemed to be showing the lofty level of skills he had.

“Is this an illusion? Or is it…”

“Body transformation.”

“Huh?”

Jeok Su-yang sighed.

Judging from the way he spoke, the man must be in his late twenties to thirties.

What kind of trials did the man have to go through for such a young man to rise to this level of martial arts?

Envy, loss, and a sense of shame rushed in, but at the end, he laughed.

“Right. It must be you. They say there is a man who got caught in the fierce battle of the disciples and ended all the fights…”

“Then that side? You don’t seem like a normal person, so why are you eager to get your hands dirty?”

“…”

There was a thing called quality.

A person who gave the feeling of not being treated carelessly regardless of the strength. That is mostly what happens to people who are not ashamed of the time they lived.

Usually, people think of the elders as the core of the sect, but since dignity was not something which came from holding morals, it did not matter much.

Rather, among the wicked or among the characters of the Demonic Sect who have experienced death the closest, there were those who stand out.

“You will not speak?”

“…”

Mostly in life, this innocence of sticking to one path all of one’s life, and the age of knowing how to accept the efforts and will of the others as much as the innocence. Because it was close to being the same thing.

Seol-Hwi waited for a while.

“Well… as you get older, you turn pitiful in many ways…”

The Poison King Hall Leader had a slightly flustered face, pressing his burning left arm with his right hand.

Chiiik.

The moment he touched it, he could feel the smell of the flesh burning.

“I am sure that it isn’t some wealth or position that you need.”

“No. Just… I guess it means you have achieved greatness, but his life without leaving anything behind must be fleeting. Then…”

“If you are that bored, just raise a disciple? Do not ruin peaceful lives.”

“…Peaceful? Haha! Seriously. Man. Cough! Hehehe…”

Jeok Su-yang laughed so loud that his laughter turned to coughing.

Chiiik!

“…”

Seol-Hwi frowned. This pungent smell did not stop, and at this moment the opponent had stopped protecting himself with internal energy.

He did not intend to save himself at all, but it was very strange to see him give up like this.

“Why are you laughing? What is so funny about this?”

“I cannot help it. Haah. After all, it seems like you don’t know a thing even with such strength. It is done. It is all done now. Hehehe.”

Cough. Cough.

Smoke began to come from his mouth.

The extreme yang energy which came from Seol-Hwi was digging into his veins. After tearing the blood veins, it was now starting to melt.

Even so, the face of the opponent was all smiles.

“I am glad. It was worth throwing my life away. Just in case, we didn’t expect to catch this big fish…”

“…Catch me?”

“What are you talking about? How can I catch you? And what should I do by catching you?”

Cough!

The Poison King Hall Leader continued to cough, and now his face was leaking blood.

“Just because you came here means that his plan has worked.”

“He?”

“Right, his…”

Shhh.

The enemy could not speak more. It was a very meaningless death for a warrior of rank 17.

“…”

Seol-Hwi felt so confused at his death. The plan was done right.

It did not sound like the last warning of a dying person.

Unknowingly he felt the ominous feeling strengthen in his body, warning him, and it wasn’t wrong.

“Seol-Hwi! Commander!”

When he was taking care of the subordinates, the personal information of those in raids came.

“The Earth Demon is in danger!”

An escort flew and shouted with a face which seemed like they would cry.

Step. Step.

As the brush passed, it drew this strange line, leaving traces.

Straight, black, and simple lines in the place.

“Hmm.”

The Earth Demon smiled like he was happy with this. He had been in his office for a long time.

He had already sent a warrior to the warlords, and they must clearly understand his intentions. So he just needs to wait for their answers.

The Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Sect was not an easy opponent.

And he was not smart enough to lure him out with a simple trick, but he had the ability to act as fast as lightning.

So, for the Earth Demon, it was a defensive battle. He used his office and residence as a battlefield at any time.

Shhh. Shhh.

“Hmm.”

The paper on which the orchid was placed was pressed with the blotting paper—

Shhh

The Earth Demon’s head swung back to the entrance. He heard nothing but he did not take his eyes off there.

And a short time passed.

Swish Kwang!

The entrance door broke open, and this monster walked in.

Behind him were people who appeared dead, and it meant that the warriors of the Earth Demon were dead. Judging by their condition, it seemed like they were taken down in one hit.

“…Who are you?”

The anger rose in the Earth Demon’s voice.

Had there been an enemy who came to his office where he was with a sword? In the first place, such a family could not be established even thanks to the position of the Fourth Disciple.

Drip

The Earth Demon looked at the blade of his opponent which was dripping with blood.

“Did the Sect Leader send you?”

“…”

Still the guy did not answer.

Judging from the fact that he had completely covered his face, it seemed like he was not willing to open his mouth until the very end.

“… Black Demon Warlord. Are you so confident? To go against me?”

“…”

As the opponent continued to stay in silence, the Earth Demon smiled.

Because he understood it all.

“Right, it is right. Heavenly Killing Star. The one who will die on his own if you are allowed to run wild. You must have thought this too.”

“…”

“If you make a threat which isn’t a threat in moderation, you will die on your own. Even with the threat of life, the Fourth Disciple would die, right?”

“…?”

Tuek

Air began to flow around the body of the Earth Demon.

The masked man’s movements flinched. It was then that he also noticed something was wrong.

“There is one thing you don’t know. There is one thing that not just you but everyone else doesn’t know too. That there are stages of unleashing that strength… at least, with the first open, you can be killed.”

“Haaah!”

In the end, the masked man swung his sword. And looking at the Earth Demon he did not respond.

That moment—

Swish!

His eyes slowed like the time had stopped.

Paah!

He saw energy slowly move from the tip of the sword and turned to the Earth Demon.

Chahk!

There was a blow from the Earth Demon which was several times faster. The moment it felt like he was being taken for granted—

Chung!

Someone came into the space with a palm technique from the other side. And when he came to his senses, it was a man dressed in black.

“Do not panic. Must have felt overpowered.”

“Ah…”

It was only then that the Black Demon Warlord was able to understand what this slowdown meant.

“Step back, please.”

“Thank you.”

His role was just till now.

To kill the escort of the Earth Demon, bring his anger out, and then escape.

Nbow, this person has to die.

“Looking at the energy there… vice leader.”

“…As expected. You have amazing insight.”

At the words of the Earth Demon, the vice leader acknowledged it.

It was because the Earth Demon was the Heavenly Killing Star. He knew how skilled the Earth Demon was.

“I was wondering why the Sect Leader suddenly vanished… can it be considered as a fact that this move was ordered by him?”

“So, wouldn’t it have been easier if you just accepted the position of the Sect Leader?”

“…You really think so?”

The vice leader looked at the Earth Demon with a serious look. Actually the general sentiment within the base was that the successor cannot be the Fourth Disciple.

And so, in a way, this situation was predicted.

“Unfortunately, if you have set foot here, you must follow the rules. If you don’t, then you will have to be gotten rid of.”

“Haha. You know things so well.”

The vice leader nodded at the Earth Demon who was calm, and then gestured to it.

Wak!

The ceiling shattered with six figures attacking the Earth Demon at a blinding speed.

It is the best if it ends here,

The vice leader looked at them and thought. All six of them were extremely good warriors.

Still that was one thing, but as long as the Earth Demon did not use his strength, he would not have to step up.

But—

Uh?

Stttsts

As they attacked, the Fourth Disciple had this unique energy come up. It was so peculiar. There was such a thing as demonic energy.

The energy gradually swelled, and by the time the swords of the warriors spread up, the energy exploded.

Ching!

Even though the vice leader avoided it, he had no choice but to step back for a long time.

Kwang!

The office broke, and not just the buildings around but the ground broke too.

And in the midst of it, the vice leader witnessed it. Those who attacked the Earth Demon disappeared without form.

Still, the Earth Demon looked to be completely unharmed.

It was difficult to determine whether this was his internal energy or the strength of his curse because this was something he could not believe with his own eyes.

“So… I am trying to accept this quietly.”

The Earth Demon—

His eyes turned red, and he spoke like he had nothing to lose.

“The end that Heavenly Killing Star brings. And…”

“…”

He raised his hand.

“A glorious death.”

But the moment they realized it, another explosion came. Accompanying it was destructive power which was dozens of times more powerful than the one before.
