Episode 245. Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol (8)
Murder━
Immediately after the voice of the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol was heard softly.
Except for one corpse that had collapsed with a large hole in its torso and its upper and lower bodies almost separated by the sword of the Blue Sky Penetrating Sun, the remaining thirty-two corpses began to move in earnest. Their goal was to kill the head of the Sacheondang family, as ordered by the Demonic Cult Leader.
‘How bizarre.’
Dang-myung thought as he took in the zombies at a glance. They were all wearing gorgeous silk clothes, so you could guess their noble status in life, but apart from that, they all had bones that were exposed like mummies, and their skin was dark and withered. Even so, their muscles, writhing like baby snakes, seemed to be functioning properly, and their joints did not seem to have weakened at all.
What about the face? The skin on their faces is blistered, and their bloodless, dark lips are motionless. Their expressions are emotionless, but what is most eerie is their eyes. They are all black, as if they were inlaid with obsidian, and inside them something like a ghostly fire is swaying.
I don’t know if you could call it a glare, but anyway, the zombies’ eyes were glaring and the magic energy was spreading out a bit more heavily.
It was obvious that they were trying to use their previous ignorance.
‘How can things that don’t even breathe hold onto their energy?’
I felt that strange feeling for a moment, but I didn’t think about it for long. Anyway, my hearing was tied up by the magic of the Demonic Cult and I couldn’t return. Since I couldn’t receive the poison, I had the ability to scatter the spirits and destroy the magic, but the wave pattern of the Balkyungcho, which consumes a lot of internal energy, was excluded.
In fact, even if it weren’t for that reason, Dang-myeong thought that there was a high chance that the magic-breaking swordsmanship, such as the ripple effect, wouldn’t work on the zombies who were closing in on him moment by moment. This was because he saw the internal armor they were wearing, the protective energies, and the magical energies that rose up like flames from each of their holding weapons.
Being able to manifest strong energy is proof that one is a being that can instill a powerful idea into one’s true energy.
Thought and will are no different from gods━ Even if their power came from sorcery, it was obvious without having to test it that the gods would be very strong. It would be difficult to send the dead back to the underworld even with the shock of the sword and the ripples.
‘Fortunately, if you suffer a fatal wound, you will be considered a commoner.’
Dang-myung thought as he glanced at one of the fallen, motionless corpses. It would be better to erase all thoughts of magic and corpses from his mind and just assume that each and every one of them was a complete, extreme, and powerful demon.
As soon as he decided to respond in that split second, the one in the lead came rushing in with black flames wrapped around both hands. She must have been a woman in her life, wearing a fluttering robe, but even so, she was able to close the distance with just one step, which was truly a master of the highest level. She approached while leaving two long flame trails in the air, and aimed for Deungmyeong’s throat and heart with both hands. Both her movements and attack patterns were straight. She probably had never been out in battle more than twice against a lower-ranked person in her life.
‘The ignorance of Yanggang.’
At a glance, Dingming could see that the opponent’s hand was filled with incredible yang energy. He didn’t miss a single movement. After releasing the lung vein, he had thickly spread his energy in all eight directions based on the internal energy surging from the twelve meridians in his body. He had consumed the internal energy of three meridians to eliminate the ghost king, but his internal energy was still at an absurd level.
‘You must not be harmed.’
The eyes of Dang-myung-myeong sank. The number of enemies exceeded thirty. They were not a bunch of random people, but each and every one of them was a master of the highest level. If their attacks began in earnest, they would be busy moving their hands and feet. Of course, reducing their numbers by even one now would be a way to increase the odds of victory. There was no time to evade or try to make a half-hearted attack. The fact that one of them approached alone was an opportunity in itself.
You have to crush the attack with an attack, and if possible, completely stop its movement with one move you make at that time.
Hwarururur━
The hand that approaches as if aiming for the heart, leaving a trail of flames in the air, is stopped by the dagger Baekseol, which is also covered in flames of strong energy just like the enemy, and the hand that rushes in in a straight line with the fingertips tightly raised as if trying to grab the scabbard of the neck is stopped by the left hand that is thickly wrapped in the self-defense weapon Yongrin (龍鱗) and the wrist is grabbed and stopped.
The opponent didn’t avoid it. They just naturally entered into a power struggle.
Of course, as a natural man, he couldn’t afford to leisurely compare his internal energy. That’s because his enemy was not just one. There were two more zombies approaching him within half a breath of each other.
‘Finish it quickly.’
The idea of immediately neutralizing a master of the highest level inevitably led to the use of deadly martial arts.
Poisonous River Muhak━ Poisonous River Defeated
‘Become weak.’
One day, a martial art that Dang-Myeong-Myeong improvised to destroy the true energy amplification martial art of Heuk-Sa-Ryeon-Ju Yu Gil-Jun, Bok-Jing-Jing-Gong (伏正神功), is revealed.
A defeat that instantly crushes the mental images of amplification, excitement, and prosperity. It is also a poisonous 罡 that is a mixture of the ignorance of past and present lives, created with the mental image of poison. It has the ability to even destroy the opponent’s strength.
At this moment, the reason why Dang-myeong was able to instantly destroy the opponent’s hand and internal energy armor called the Ho-sin-gang-gi is because of this.
It didn’t stop there.
Poisonous and poisonous worms – Hot and poisonous worms
Since the opponent had brought out the martial arts of Yanggang, Dangmyeong also naturally thought of the martial arts that contained the incredible power of heat. The poisonous wormwood (毒罡) created based on the image of having personally experienced the Hwa-ryong-ho-dok (敗毒罡) flowed out from the left palm like lava. The opponent, whose defense wall of self-defense had already been partially pierced by the defeat poisonous wormwood (敗毒罡), had no choice but to allow the attack.
‘Burn out.’
At the same time, Dang-myung muttered to himself and strengthened his resolve.
Whoosh whoosh─!
In an instant, the opponent’s entire body is engulfed in intense flames. Whether it’s because he’s using his dried-out flesh as firewood or because the amount of internal energy he’s pushed in is enormous, the firepower is much stronger than when he used the Heat Poison Flames before.
As soon as he confirmed that the light in the opponent’s eyes had disappeared, Dang-myung retreated. The shadow of the divine law spread out in polarity.
‘Don’t you have the rationality to move strategically?’
It was understandable to have such doubts. This time, two pairs of Yo-an were approaching. Each of them was a jiangshi wearing blue and yellow uniforms, and they were swinging spears and swords covered in black magic energy without hesitation. If they were capable of thinking normally, they would have approached with extreme caution the moment they saw the self-defense energy melt away due to the poisonous magic energy, but the enemies did not care and continued to attack.
The instinct to follow the orders of the Demon Lord━ It seemed that only a simple will remained clearly. Could it be that the Demonic Energy was also created with the sole intention of killing the opponent by following orders?
‘This will be the last time.’
It would be great if he could continue to deal with only a few jiangshi, but he knew that that was impossible. The jiangshi in the palace attire and the two now who moved with half a breath difference – this was the limit. And since there were about a dozen jiangshi moving with half a breath difference. The time had come to worry about a full-scale joint attack.
Even if they were irrational, each and every one of the zombies was clearly a demon of extreme evil. If various types of monsters and unlearned skills were to pour out simultaneously, it would be difficult to deal with them even if they were obvious.
‘First, do what you can.’
The new form that was retreating with the shadow of the divine law was stopped. The policy of crushing attacks with attacks and incapacitating the opponent in one breath remained unchanged. The moment when the jiangshi wearing blue and yellow martial arts clothes attacked was so exquisite that he only briefly withdrew his body.
It was impossible to attack them in the same way as before, using the Poisonous Dragon as the lead. Not only were their spear and sorcery skills no ordinary ones, but even if one of them was captured and neutralized, it was obvious that the other side would immediately attack.
However, it was not something that could be dealt with in a timely manner. There were more than a dozen zombies following behind. He had to decide the outcome before they arrived.
Under pressure, Dang-myeong unfolded his sword.
Seomgang (殲罡)━
The dagger Baekseol made of dragonskin embodies the nature of the power of the force, and implements a perfect horizontal strike. A red line is carved horizontally in the field of vision as if it were originally there, and divides the world into upper and lower parts. Of course, the jiangshi did not fall during this horizontal strike. This is because all of them were using the self-defense power and the power of martial arts.
However, what Dang-myeong was aiming for was the brief moment when the zombies’ movements were halted.
Poisonous and Unlearned – The Manifestation of Poisonousness
At the same time that the deep green light burst out, a mental martial art that could poison beings belonging to the realm of energy with just a thought was unleashed. It was created by obtaining the mental art from the long-range killing martial art of the Deep Fire Ark, Yeo Seol-ryeon, Jeokryeon Yeonhwa-sul, and it was a technique that could be used without fail unless one could detect or destroy the manifestation of a thought.
This kind of martial arts naturally drains a lot of psychic power, but it boasts absolute power against those who are not equipped to deal with it. Of course, if it were a situation where even Dangmyeong was facing an ordinary extreme demon master, he would not have recklessly cast the Sake Poison Manifestation. If they are beings with a strong spirit and strong willpower that can manifest the magic energy, it would not be difficult to destroy the mental martial arts.
However, they did not have the reason to discern right from wrong or make judgments. There was a high probability that they would not be able to properly deal with the manifestation of the poison.
‘Be reconciled with a handful of poison.’
The name of the spell brought to reality the image of the poison that melts away even iron in the sensation of the white blood vessels of the Jeongsu-ri Baekhoehyeol becoming white hot. He poured out an enormous amount of thoughts to the point that he felt momentarily powerless. This was because he had to take off the protective gear worn by the blue and yellow jiangshi and melt away the flesh inside.
Also, there was a calculation that if not now, it would not be easy to reduce the enemy’s numbers from a distance with this kind of mental martial arts. When the full-scale joint attack of the extreme demon jiangshis begins, it would be busy just showing off the appropriate martial arts at that time. With this one move, he was sure to send the two of them back to the underworld.
“… … .”
As a result, the judgment of the idiot was right. After blocking the river with a spear and a sword, the two zombies who were about to rush in again began to slowly slow down and their heads began to melt. As the naturalization in their pitch-black eyes subsided, their bodies lost their strength and fell down.
It could be said that he had seized the initiative by neutralizing the three approaching jiangshi one after another, but there was no sign of triumph on Dang-myeong’s face. This was because the number of remaining extreme jiangshi was still twenty-nine.
Moreover, now it was no longer possible to deal with just a small number of people. Naturally, the jiangshi were divided into groups of about ten in the front and back rows, and they began to pour out their magical energy one after another.

Kwakwakwakwang━!!
Dang-myeong moved his hands frantically, his dagger white and snow covered in deep green flames. Unbelievable attacks came from all directions. An ordinary fire master would have been stabbed to death long ago.
Hana Danmyung is proud to have seen the tip of the sword in his previous life, so he has been through countless swordsmanship and swordsmanship that are beyond reason. Whether it is because he has fully activated the Anbeop Shiryuan, his dark green eyes continue to flash as he swings his sword in a state of trance.
With one sword strike, he repeatedly counters three or four of the zombies’ attacks. Not only that, he uses his self-defense weapon, Yongrin (龍鱗), to block several attacks, and takes advantage of the gaps created to create a strong sword. It is a sword that has been refined with the secret of extreme strength that comes from the principle of defeat, which is the core of the swordsmanship of the swordsman. The deep green flames surrounding the dagger, Baekseol, burn even more fiercely.
Quaching━!
The skill of the strong sword that Geomshin had forged was indeed powerful. Among the zombies who were wielding unrefined magic energy, he was able to destroy the attack of three of them with one sword, and at the same time, he was able to easily cut down the protective armor that they were wearing like armor as if it were a piece of paper.
The light quickly disappeared from the eyes of the zombies who were rolling around with their waists broken.
In this way, scenes unfold one after another that would have left those skilled in swordsmanship gaping in amazement.
But━
Even as a matter of course, this was the limit. Although he had gained the upper hand in a short period of time by expending a great deal of his inner strength and psychic power, he could not maintain that momentum forever.
He had already consumed the internal energy equivalent to seven meridians, and with the manifestation of strong energy including the Sim Sang Muhak and the successive use of the Rising Sword, the Baekhoe point in his crown was also heated up.
On the other hand, there were still twenty-six of the extreme demon corpses left, and they were rushing forward as before, disregarding their own lives. No, they were already dead, but… … .
It became more and more difficult to overcome, and Deungmyung began to rely solely on the swordsmanship he had honed in his past life to deal with the attacks of his enemies, while only manifesting his sword power in the form of a burning green flame.
In the end, as is often the case with battles between masters who have reached the peak of their power, it turned into a battle of attrition of internal energy.
