Absolute Regression Chapter 514

514
“Shut up!”

The shouts of the bridge rang out loud.

Choaaaah.

The hem of Blood Heavenly Sword’s clothes fluttered roughly. It was a different voice than before. The master’s rebuke, filled with internal energy, struck Blood Heavenly Sword like a gust of wind.

If I hadn’t raised my stamina and resisted, I would have been blown backwards and crashed down violently.

This shout revealed how much profound internal energy was hidden within the old body of the master.

A strong wind passed by.

I should have been daunted by that powerful internal energy, but this time, the Blood Heavenly Demon roared instead.

“Master, shut up!”

Kyo-Cheon glared at him, as he had treated his master so respectfully up until now.

Now, the thing that was making the hall shake was the blood clot.

“Why is revenge like this? Exterminating people who have nothing to do with it, causing wars by sowing discord, using poison, is this all that revenge you’ve worked so hard for over the years has to be?”

Crunch.

The other side of the chair’s handrest broke. When I broke it before, it turned into a powder like sand, but this time, corn flakes fell out. I was so angry that I didn’t even realize I had broken it.

But the Bloodthirsty Horse continued to raise its voice.

“You should have come back in style. If you weren’t ready, you shouldn’t have come back!”

After yelling like that, he added one last thing. In a low, regretful tone.

“… … Then wouldn’t I have been willing to die?”

The gazes of Hyeolcheon Doma and Gyocheon met in the air.

Was it because of the sorrow and sadness in the eyes looking at me?

Kyo-Cheon thought that even his disciple’s apology was fake and an act, but at this moment, he did not think that way.

‘You came to me prepared to die?’

But the thought that Jinsim brought out could not get through his tightly closed wall. After looking at his disciple for a moment, Kyocheon spoke to the two old men.

“Kill him. Kill him horribly and miserably!”

A relieved smile appeared on Hyeolcheon Doma’s lips.

Yes, no matter what words were exchanged, the outcome of today’s meeting between Master and himself was already decided.

The only difference is who dies.

I was grateful that he came out like this. I could fight without any regrets.

“I will obey your command, Master.”

The one who answered loudly was Hyeolcheon Doma. It was a kind of joke and mockery that he had been ordered to kill.

In comparison, the two old men had no change in expression. This must have been how their master raised them. Without any emotion, just for this moment.

And the Master’s subordinates are not just those two. No one knows what will come out of the Master’s pocket of grudges that have been around for decades.

Woohoo!

The Heavenly Sword, infused with power, cried loudly. It was not a cry of fear. It was a cry of trust from a soldier who had sensed his master’s determination.

‘Yes, please! Extermination.’

The old man in the red robe approached from the right, and the old man in the blue robe approached from the left.

All three have achieved great success in the Extermination Demonic Way.

At this level, the match would be decided in an instant. Furthermore, they know each other’s martial arts skills very well.

Bloodthirsty Demon imagined how the Master had trained them.

He must have trained harshly. For this moment. To kill himself miserably with the Heavenly Demonic Way, not with any other martial arts.

I will definitely take back the martial arts I taught you with the same martial arts. With that in mind.

‘then?’

The first one to move was Hyeolcheon Doma.

The moment he kicked the ground, the Bloodthirsty Demon was already swinging his sword in front of the red robe.

Oh my god!

The Heavenly Sword flew in at an unbelievable speed for its size.

The opponent also did not dodge, but blocked it by swinging his long sword.

Just before the two swords collided, the Blood Heavenly Sword Ma turned his sword. The sword, which had changed angle, created sparks and slid down the opponent’s sword.

Whoaaaaah!

The sword of destruction, which calculated the opponent’s reaction, passed over the old man’s face.

The old man was inwardly very surprised.

It was an unexpected change. And since I didn’t know that he would use the change to threaten the opponent’s life on the first move, I almost lost my face.

This was a surprise move by Hyeolcheon Doma, who took advantage of the fact that the first move of most sorcerers was to strike back and then clash with force.

And the Bloodthirsty Horse continued to push forward without letting go.

He wasn’t the type of person who would feel dizzy from almost being defeated at the first try, but he was clearly an old man who had his hands and feet stolen.

Thud! Thud! Thud thud thud!

The Bloodthirsty Demon’s attacks became faster and more violent. The sound of the swords clashing against each other became deeper as the number increased.

The old man in the blue robe was unable to step in and help.

Should I use the analogy that the carriage has already departed?

A fight that he couldn’t get involved in had already begun. The two were fighting fiercely, stuck close together, so if he unleashed the Heavenly Demonic Cultivation Technique, even the old man in the red robe would be swept away by the strong energy.

But they couldn’t jump in and fight together. The two were fighting too fiercely, and it wasn’t a fight with swords, but a fight between swords. There was no room for another swordsman to intervene.

Bloodthirsty Horse was fighting a basic fight.

The opponent must have been honing only the Heavenly Destruction Magic Technique for a long time. Naturally, he expected that he would deal with them using the Heavenly Destruction Magic Technique.

It is clear that basic fighting will be disadvantageous compared to the Mysterious Heavenly Demonic Style.

Indeed, the one leading the fight was Hyeolcheon Doma.

It wasn’t just because of training that I gained skill. There was one more important thing.

His life changed.

As life changes, martial arts also change. This is the application of the great principle of martial arts.

Kyo-Cheon’s eyes darkened as he watched the fight between the two.

Bloodthirsty Demon was fighting better than he thought.

The moment he realized that he was stronger than when he was the Amazon, jealousy and anger welled up in him.

At that moment, I suddenly remembered what Hyeolcheon Doma had said.

―Master’s mind will be filled with fog.

So, are these the only instincts that come out? Hatred, jealousy, anger.

But I couldn’t wisely resolve this thought that came to my mind. I couldn’t overcome that big wall that I had built up over so many years on my own. If I could have done that, I wouldn’t have heard those words in the first place.

Eventually, that jealousy led to other accusations.

‘coon!’

Among the things that Bloodthirsty Demon had said to him earlier, many of them pierced his heart.

Among them, it was not that Geom Woo-jin was cunning, but rather that the master’s cunning was discovered by Geom Woo-jin, which left a deep resentment. That must have been why.

‘You cunning bastard! I’m even more cunning than you!’

He kept saying in his heart that he was cunning. The wise fight of the Bloodthirsty Demon became cunning to him.

The red robe that had been pushed back by the Blood Heavenly Demon leaped up and unleashed the Heavenly Demonic Style. It was the fastest style that could be unleashed, the Destruction Sword Strike.

But that moment was the moment that Hyeolcheon Doma had been waiting for.

That fleeting moment of weakness when a great attack is launched, that brief moment when internal energy is forced to operate.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At that moment, as if waiting for it, the great sword of the Bloodthirsty Demon rushed in like a bolt of lightning, trying to cut the old man in the red robe in two!

Shaaaaaaaang!

The wind blew in with a distinctive sound. I could tell just by hearing the sound. It was dangerous.

Bloodthirsty Demon turned his body and raised his sword to block the incoming attack.

Kwaaaaang!

As the strong wind flew and struck, the Bloodthirsty Horse was pushed back along with the long sword that was used as a shield.

It was an attack with tremendous power. If it had been even a little less powerful, it would have broken my wrist.

The person who saved the red robe by blowing the day’s wind was Kyo-Cheon.

“Are you going to do this?”

Kyo-Cheon laughed happily at Hyeolcheon Doma’s words.

“You stop being so cunning!”

He was the one who finally returned the criticism that he was cunning to his disciple.

The conversation between the two could not continue.

The old man in red robes, who had found some free time thanks to Kyocheon’s intervention, immediately unleashed the Mysterious Heavenly Demonic Cultivation Technique.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Originally, he should have gathered his ranks and launched a joint attack, but his pride was hurt by the fact that his life was saved by Kyo-Cheon’s help.

A blade-shaped energy flew towards the Bloodthirsty Horse.

It was an unavoidable attack. If this could have been easily avoided, this martial art would not have been called the Mysterious Heavenly Demonic Ceremony, Mysterious Blood Wind.

The solution to the Extinction Blood Wind is the Extinction Blood Wind.

The qi that extended from the Destruction Way flew around in a whirlwind. In both Destruction Way Blood Winds, small blade-shaped qi were spinning inside the whirlwind.

Two blood winds collided.

The moment when the strong energies dissolved into each other with an ear-piercing roar.

Phew.

Silence flowed as the sound of flesh being torn was heard.

The old man in the red robe looked down at his chest as if he couldn’t believe it. The strong energy that flew in like a bird that escaped from a net and pierced him like a lie.

It was clear that the same martial arts clashed with similar power, but one thing was different.

The number of blades of the Blood Heavenly Demon’s Extermination Blood Wind was greater. As his martial arts level has recently increased, his proficiency in the Extermination Heavenly Demon’s style has deepened.

“… … Could that increase further?”

The blood crow answered him.

“How can this death penalty be like that of the priests?”

The old man in the red robe asked with his eyes fading away.

“But why didn’t you use it from the beginning?”

Bloodthirsty Demon slowly turned his head and looked at his master.

“I was going to write to my master.”

Kyocheon’s cheeks trembled again. Hyeoncheon Doma could see that it wasn’t just his martial arts that had improved. He also realized that he had learned a lot from Geommu Geuk in how to treat his master. He was using the same techniques that Geommu Geuk had used on his master.

The bloodthirsty demon now rushed towards the old man in the blue robe.

This time, the Blood Heavenly Demon did not use the Destruction Demonic Cultivation Method.

Seeing that sight, Kyocheon became even more angry.

Didn’t I say earlier that I was going to use the Extermination Demonic Sect on myself instead of showing it to you? But I still wasn’t using it.

‘You insist on killing me yourself?’

It was ultimately this anger that led him to intervene in the fight between the two, and this was also what Bloodthirsty Demon had hoped for.

Whenever the old man in the blue robe was in danger, Kyocheon would blow a gust of wind to help him.

It wouldn’t have been easy to help in a fight where the two were mixed up, but Kyo-Cheon’s attacks were sharp and accurate.

PIT! PIT!

The wind blown by his master swept past his arms and legs, and in front of him, a master who had achieved great success in the Heavenly Demonic Style was trying to kill him.

Normally, he would have gotten excited and tried to kill his opponent as quickly as possible, but Blood Heavenly Demon didn’t do that. He even fought while managing his internal energy.

It was worth exchanging a handful of my internal energy and a drop of my blood, because I was determined to survive until the end and fight my master.

This planned and thorough fight against the Bloodthirsty Demon has finally come to an end.

Phew!

The Great Sword of Destruction pierced the heart of the blue robe.

The old man’s longing gaze was directed not at Hyeolcheon Doma, but at Gyocheon.

Kyo-Cheon’s help in this fight actually did him harm. If he was going to help, he should have stepped up and helped properly. That wasn’t it.

Rather, it disturbed his concentration, and in the end, he was unable to perform to his full potential. Emotional help was of no help to him at all.

Kyo-Cheon looked at the blood-soaked Hyeoncheon Doma. He did not say a word of condolences to his dead disciples, nor did he regret their deaths.

“It’s pretty good.”

Hyeolcheondoma said, wiping the blood from his face.

“Why is it that among all the nicknames of the Amazons, only mine has blood in it?”

The two eyes of the Bloodthirsty Demon were shining terrifyingly.

Kyo-Cheon looked into her eyes and spoke coldly.

“No one will come to help you. You will die here alone because of your arrogance.”

Bloodthirsty Horse smiled sadly as if he would accept everything and asked back.

“We are Amazons, who can we expect help from?”

Those words became thorns again and stabbed Kyo-Cheon’s heart. If the disciple was the Demon Lord, then he was also a Demon Lord.

The Mazones are those who live by pride. In a fight, they are the ones who stand tall alone, without losing to anyone or asking for help from anyone. That is why the Mazones are the ones who stand tall alone.

“I know you’ve prepared more. Now, who’s next?”

Kyo-cheon shouted at the sight of the proud Bloodthirsty Demon. He had thought of him as a disciple, but now, there was not a single word he said that did not cut to his heart.

“This guy will go all the way!”

Kyo-Cheon couldn’t hold it in any longer and let out his tension.

Saaaaaaaah!

A terrifying tension flew in. Unable to avoid it, Blood Heavenly Sword Demon used the Heavenly Sword as a shield to hide his body and injected his inner strength to the limit.

Kwaaaaang!

The shock shook the Heavenly Sword greatly. I almost broke my wrist and suffered internal injuries.

Saaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

Bam!

A second tension flew in, and then a third tension flew in too.

Boom! Kwaang!

The Heavenly Sword shook as if it would break at any moment. The sword gradually tilted due to the impact of the flying objects.

The voice of the Master is heard from beyond the Great Way of Destruction.

“I’ll break that insolent path!”

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

The sound was different from before. A tremendous amount of tension was flying in.

‘The sword might break.’

But that was impossible, because the Way of Destruction was his symbol.

Instead of raising his self-defense power to the limit, Blood Heavenly Sword Master injected his inner energy to the limit in the Heavenly Sword. Even if he suffered internal injuries, he intended to protect the sword.

Kwaaaaang!

There was a tremendous explosion.

The Bloodthirsty Horse was still there. It had not suffered any internal injuries, nor was it thrown back.

And the Great Way of Destruction stood tall and unbroken.

I saw the blood clot.

The sight of a hand coming out from behind him, with its palm resting on the sword of destruction.

The surprised Bloodthirsty Horse turned around.

The moment he confirmed the person standing behind him, Hyeolcheon Doma called out to him with a face full of passion.

“Reverend!”

Geumwoojin was standing behind him.

Maybe he hoped the leader would come. Maybe he secretly believed that he would come.

But just as much as I wanted him to come, I also had a wish that he would not come.

The day he killed his master, he killed his brother. We all desperately hoped it wouldn’t happen, but it did.

I can only guess what kind of wounds the leader is carrying. I never asked him about it after that day. We didn’t ask each other.

The cult leader wanted to make sure that the past would not be remembered again, so he decided to handle this matter alone. And so the cult leader came.

And today, the cult leader’s gaze resembled the gaze of the young man who had looked at him that day long ago.

“We were together that day, so we should be together today.”
