Absolute Regression Chapter 511

511
– The old man went there.

The sword dance brought to mind the Bloody Sword Demon. The image of him walking alone with a long sword on his back.

Ja-gyeong believed that he was capable of dealing with it, so he went to resolve it.

-Master, you may be in danger.

Worry filled Seo Dae-ryong’s face.

-How do I find out where it is?

At Seo Dae-ryong’s question, Geommu-geuk’s gaze naturally turned to Ja-gyeong.

Ja-gyeong also glanced over here while talking to Bongsan Inspector Bang Cheong-mun.

Ja-gyeong smiled sadly. From that appearance, Geommu-geuk could feel that his premonition was correct. He considered this situation a success.

The Geommu-geuk also smiled brightly at him. The moment he saw that smile, Seo Dae-ryong knew. Geommu-geuk was starting to open the gates of hell.

Geommugeuk asked Jagyeong.

“I have something to ask our credit union.”

“Speak.”

The surrounding Jeongpa unmanned people held their breath and listened to the conversation between the two people.

Geommugeuk asked out of the blue.

“Where?”

A faint smile crossed Ja-gyeong’s lips. He knew what Geommu-geuk had just asked.

Of course, since everyone was watching, Ja-gyeong grabbed him tightly.

“What are you talking about?”

The gaze of the swordsman became cold and sank.

“There’s something you don’t know about me.”

As the attitude of the swordsman towards the vigilantes changed, all the surrounding Jeongpa warriors became tense.

The sword dance continued, paying no attention to them and only looking at the guards.

“The reason you’re alive now is not because of the people here. It’s not because of those behind you.”

Every word of the sword dance was soft and yet extremely cold.

“You are alive because of Elder Doma. I don’t know exactly how he is connected to you. So I ask. Where is Elder Doma now?”

Ja-gyeong looked straight into Geommu-geuk’s eyes and answered.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He was convinced that in this situation full of political figures, the sword dance would never attack him. His eyes said so.

– So? With so many sect masters here, you want to attack me here? Then this incident will be confirmed as your doing.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

Geommu-geuk could tell. Not only was he not someone who would readily tell others if asked, but he was also very skilled at acting to hide himself. After all, if he wasn’t like that, how could he have hidden his identity as a Min and lived the life of a swordsman so well?

The sword dance spoke to the audience.

“Please step aside with those who are staying for a moment.”

The audience was taken aback by the sudden action of the sword dance. Judging from what he had said to Ja-gyeong a moment ago, it was clear that the small sect leader and the Hwangcheon-gakju really regarded the Cheongun Shinhyeop as evil.

“What are you trying to do?”

“I will reveal to you who the evildoer is before your eyes.”

The guard shouted at the audience.

“Don’t fall for the devil’s tricks. Please help me.”

Even if Cheongun Credit Union did not ask for help, it was a situation where I could not just back out.

Just when I was about to answer that it couldn’t be done.

Visit.

The audience was startled. Before he knew it, he was floating in the sky.

‘What the heck is this?’

But when I looked again, it wasn’t the sky. I was standing on water, and the water was so clear that the sky was reflected, so I thought I was in the sky.

The moment you realize that,

with a plop.

The viewing door sank into the water. I struggled and resisted, but it was no use.

Sleep gradually recedes.

It was becoming increasingly suffocating. The darkness of the abyss added to the fear of suffocation, and the audience room door became unbearable.

‘… … I’m going to die like this!’

At that very moment, everything disappeared.

The sword dance was looking at itself without saying a word.

The audience could tell that what they had just felt was the prayer of the Black Swordsman.

There were cheers from all around. Perhaps everyone felt the same prayer.

But each person felt differently. The stronger the martial arts, the greater the fear.

That beautiful sky, water, and abyss.

Is it possible for a man to have such a prayer? And that he can disarm himself through prayer alone?

The audience was unbelievable. I had heard rumors that the leader of the Demonic Cult was strong, but I didn’t know he was this strong.

‘If he makes up his mind, we… … will be wiped out.’

The audience stared at the sword dance with fear.

Clear and deep eyes that remain unchanged.

I thought that maybe he was the same person who had shown prayer a little while ago. There was a deep abyss hidden in those clear eyes.

Unlike the fearsome prayer, the sword dance spoke calmly.

“I promise in the name of the leader of the Cheonmasingyo sect. If I made a mistake, I will take responsibility.”

What if this is the devil’s cult’s trick? To kill that Cheongun Shinhyeop… … .

At that moment, Bang Cheong-moon realized. There was no way that such a strong person would do something like this to harm a mere swordsman, who was neither the leader of the martial arts world nor the leader of the Demon Destruction. There was no way that he would do this while putting his own name on the line.

The audience door spoke to the surrounding leaders.

“Since the leader of the new religion has said such things, let us step back for a moment.”

The leaders of the invited sects looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Some thought they should come forward. However, they did not dare to do so due to the overwhelming prayer of the sword dance that had just been shown.

Even if problems arise later… the panel that made this decision will have to take responsibility.

After pushing them back like that, Geommugeuk turned to Jagyeong.

“You were trying to force the Hwangcheonjoo to use the Mystery of Heavenly Demonic Cultivation Method?”

The vigilantes held on until the end.

“Is this your way? Fraudulently eliminating anyone who gets in your way?”

“Yes, this is our way. You and me, our way.”

“I, Cheongunshinhyeop, will never yield to the threats of the Demonic Cult! Charge, Young Leader!”

Those words were not intended to provoke the blacksmiths, but to provoke the political faction.

At that moment, Geommugeuk said something unexpected.

“I’m not the one who should be dealing with you.”

Geommugeuk said to Seodaeryong.

“The Underworld.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Confront the interest.”

Seo Dae-ryong was secretly surprised, as he had never thought that he would be made to fight.

But what surprised him was the next sound.

-Kill the author with the method of the Heavenly Annihilation Demon! Use the method of the Heavenly Annihilation Demon from the beginning.

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised.

‘Are you really telling me to kill you?’

It may or may not be possible to kill him, but what was more worrying was this.

‘If I kill you, how will you know where your master is?’

But Seo Dae-ryong quickly shook off his worries. If Geommu-geuk is going to kill him, he will. There must be a reason why he is doing this.

“I will deal with it.”

Seo Dae-ryong stepped forward.

“After my internal energy is exhausted, the last one will be the young sect leader.”

He blocked the sword dance from coming forward, and the sword dance followed his will.

“Even if the Hwangcheonjoo falls, I will not step forward. I promise this in the name of the Sogyoju.”

When the sword dance came out like this, Ja-gyeong no longer provoked the Jeongpa people. Otherwise, he would have provoked them somehow to come out. He knew well how to provoke the pride and honor of the Jeongpa people.

But what about that Hwangcheonjoo? I can kill him. I knew his martial arts skills very well.

‘I will kill you with my own hands.’

So the two people stood facing each other.

– Didn’t I tell you? There are enemies in the world.

Seo Dae-ryong responded to the sound of the vigil. Seeing that Geommu-geuk was not killing him directly but was instead putting himself out there.

– I guess that opponent is really me.

After that sound, the two people clashed.

Seo Dae-ryong immediately unleashed the Mysterious Heavenly Demonic Cultivation Technique from the first move.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

An attack of tremendous power flew in.

The first form of the extermination of the devil

One blow to destroy the sword.

If it had been Seo Dae-ryong from a few days ago, Ja-gyeong would have been able to block the attack with the Jeongpa martial arts that Cheongun Shinhyeop had displayed.

However, Seo Dae-ryong’s internal energy had greatly improved while taking the Cheongok Shindan, and he had also received practical training in the sword martial arts.

It wasn’t an attack that could be easily blocked.

Kwaaaaang!

Two strong forces collided in midair.

Ja-gyeong was surprised and embarrassed. It was much stronger than he had thought.

‘This strong?’

The problem is that the attack was so fast and powerful that I had no choice but to use the Heavenly Destruction Magic Technique to block it. Otherwise, my arm would have been blown off.

The onlookers could not hide their surprise at the unexpected power.

Because the attack and defense went back and forth so quickly, it was not yet clear that Cheongunshinhyeop had used the same martial arts.

Among them, only Bang Cheong-moon, the most skilled martial artist, tilted his head slightly.

The method of destroying the heavenly demons, Jay-style.

The wave of destruction of the sword.

The waves of pottery spread out. Jeilsik tried his best to block it, but how could he block Jaysik?

This time, too, Jagyeong fought back with a wave of destruction.

Kwaaaaang!

A harsh wind blast accompanied by an ear-piercing roar spread out in all directions, pushing the onlookers back.

In the second clash, Bang Gung-moon’s eyes widened, and the other leaders also looked at him with strange expressions.

And when the third form of the Heavenly Demonic Sword, the Blood Wind of the Heavenly Demonic Sword, collided with each other, everyone could tell.

“It’s the same martial arts!”

“Shinhyeop has mastered the method of destroying the heavens!”

Everyone was shocked to learn that Ja-gyeong had learned the method of destroying the heavens.

Seo Dae-ryong now understood the meaning of the sword dance. He had to show off his Heavenly Destruction Magical Style so that everyone would know that the martial arts that Ja-gyeong had performed were Heavenly Destruction Magical Style.

This was possible because Geommugeuk had a clear view of his own and Jagyeong’s abilities.

As a result, he ended up accomplishing what the vigilantes had intended to do.

If you want to survive, you’ll have to use the Demonic Cultivation Method!

When Ja-gyeong was caught learning the magic of extermination, he openly spewed out his magical energy and rushed towards Seo Dae-ryong.

Seodaeryong also swung his sword and fought back.

Boom!

The two swords collided with a loud noise, the impact being transmitted to each other’s hands.

Surprisingly, this is what Seo Dae-ryong felt.

‘Tolerable!’

Otherwise, I would have missed the path.

Although he started learning martial arts late, he trained harder than anyone else.

-I don’t have enough time to practice.

To his dissatisfaction, Geommugeuk once said this:

-So your martial arts will be stronger.

-yes?

―Because the experience of living your life diligently during the day can sometimes beat the training of swinging a sword all day long. Trust yourself! Trust your experience, trust your smart self!

Originally, it was clear that Ja-gyeong had superior skills.

But he also had an unexpected weakness.

The fact that he had been using the martial arts of the Jeongpa instead of the magic arts for a long time was holding him back.

On the other hand, Seodaeryong was standing still.

That’s why the two had a close match.

Choaaaah! Time! Time! Time!

Deadly attacks followed one after another.

Sparks flew whenever the swords that were slashing at each other collided as if cutting through the sky.

The ground was deeply cut away, and the rocks that had decorated the flower garden were shattered and scattered.

Seo Dae-ryong was in a state of trance.

He didn’t even realize that the people he was watching were engaging in a jaw-dropping fight. The training he had done by cutting down on time and sleep was what was leading him.

And at the crucial moment, his body moved in the way he had learned from Geommugeuk.

He twisted his body while exercising his magic and threw the sword lightly.

Oh my god!

Phew!

For a moment, the two people’s movements stopped.

The person who spurted a bowlful of blood from his mouth was Ja-gyeong.

The dragon’s sword passed through his shoulder and was embedded deep into his torso.

Seo Dae-ryong’s hands trembled. It was the first time he had killed an opponent in a close fight with a master.

When I was learning, I thought, “There must be such a technique,” but in a real match, that one move was truly crucial to victory or defeat.

‘You just taught me such a great technique like that?’

Ja-gyeong looked up at Seo Dae-ryong and spoke with a fierce expression.

“You… … this kid.”

He looked as if he couldn’t believe that he had lost to Seo Dae-ryong. How could he lose to this little dwarf, not even the leader of the cult?

He tried to smile at Seo Dae-ryong, feeling ashamed even of being angry.

“… … If you kill me, you won’t be able to find where the Bloodthirsty Sword is.”

The moment he heard him say that he was a bloodthirsty demon, Seo Dae-ryong felt relieved.

‘Hey, you’re not the master’s disciple!’

Ja-gyeong tried to survive by putting forward the Bloodthirsty Horse, but it was no use against Seo Dae-ryong.

“You told me to kill you, so I guess you’ll do whatever you want.”

The moment he finished speaking, Seo Dae-ryong struck down his great sword.

Crunch!

Choaaaah!

The body of the vigilante split in half and poured down on both sides.

The smell of blood filled the air, and all the soldiers in the sect watched with surprised faces.

They did not enter Seo Dae-ryong’s eyes.

The person he found was Geommugeuk. Geommugeuk was looking at him and smiling.

– Long, right arm.

Seo Dae-ryong’s heart swelled with emotion at those words. He was so moved that he felt like he could brag about this fight all night long, or even for the rest of his life, as long as he drank alcohol. Seo Dae-ryong, whose boasts kept growing, grew again today.

The audience spoke to the swordmaster.

“What the cult leader said was right. The evil spirit was the author.”

He was convinced that the beast was a vigilante.

A person known as a swordsman of the Jeongpa faction was learning the magic of extermination? This would never have happened unless he was plotting a grand scheme.

Today’s incident will reveal the truth to the Jeongpa martial arts world. This incident is a planned conspiracy to cause discord between the Cheonmasingyo and Jeongpa.

The sword dance movement said goodbye to the audience and the silent warriors.

“Thank you for trusting me.”

In fact, I believed it half-forcedly because of his overwhelming skills, but I was grateful that he said it like this.

“If you need any help, just let us know. We’ll help you.”

“Okay, then. Then I’ll take my leave for today.”

Geommugeuk and Seodaeryong hurriedly left the place.

“Do you have any idea where Master might be?”

“no.”

Seo Dae-ryong was surprised by Geommu-geuk’s answer.

“Then why did you tell me to kill you?”

“He wasn’t the type to tell me anyway. He was just wasting time.”

Seo Dae-ryong also agreed on that point.

“I still have a long way to go. Seeing you fidgeting like this. Aren’t you worried at all, Master?”

I thought I was this relaxed because I believed in the Bloodline.

“If you’re talking about the elderly, I’m worried. How could I not be worried about that meticulous personality that tries not to bother others?”

Then, Seo Dae-ryong also revealed his true feelings.

“Really? I’m so worried I could die. But why are you so relaxed?”

Because I had something to believe in.

“Even if your master doesn’t believe in you, my father does.”

Geommugeuk believed in his father, and in the relationship between his father and Hyeolcheon Doma.

When he returned and first met Blood Heavenly Demon, Blood Heavenly Demon believed that even if he killed the younger cult leader, his father would forgive him. He believed in the relationship between the two.

“Since this incident is related to the past of the two of you, Father will not just let it go. He is not the kind of person to leave his work to others.”

* * *

Bloodthirsty Demon opened the door and came in.

The training ground, which would normally be crowded with people, was empty.

Bloodthirsty Horse crossed the empty smokehouse and entered the main hall.

There was a man sitting in the throne room. Blood Heavenly Demon slowly walked towards him.

The person sitting on the throne opened his mouth.

“Why don’t you ask? Didn’t you kill everyone who was here?”

His voice, which resonated through the hall, was deep and desolate, like the parched land of a remote region, and phlegmy. But his voice was as strong as if it were clawing at the human heart.

“Because I know you haven’t killed him yet.”

The tone of Bloodthirsty Horseman’s speech was calm and polite.

“Why?”

“This incident wasn’t about killing them. The original purpose was to involve me and the cult leader.”

The Blood Heavenly Horse that arrived under the Grand Master looked up.

An old man was sitting on the steps of the temple.

The wrinkles on his face made it impossible to guess his age, but the light streaming from his eyes was as powerful as looking into the sun.

The two eyes of the bloodthirsty demon looking at the old man trembled.

“It’s been a while, Master.”
