Absolute Regression Chapter 645

The 645th greeting is okay, right?

My father will never tolerate my death?

The sword dance reminded me of my father.

‘If I really die, will my father start a war against the devil?’

Wouldn’t it be better for him to sit in the royal chambers and say something like this?

―From today, the successor of our school is Muyang.

It’s something you might do just by saying this one thing and going about your daily life as usual. Adding something like this.

– It seems like the school will be quiet now.

Of course, I also considered cases where their analysis was accurate.

The image of my father sitting alone in the Cheonmajeon Hall, deep in sorrow, came to mind. The image of a father missing his child.

Perhaps on the day when he appoints his brother as the new successor, he might say this to the Palmazone standing in front of him.

-Let’s go to the central plains!

My father might have a fishing rod sticking out of the carriage window as he leaves for battle. He might take me with him.
I really had no idea how my father would come out.

“Is that really what a smart person predicted?”

So Jeong-rak answered the question of the sword dance.

“You created this result.”

To be honest, I didn’t feel bad about the sword dance because it meant that my father was thinking of me that much.

“But if I die and a war breaks out, will you be okay?”

So Jeong-rak smiled meaningfully.

“We are people who are used to living different lives.”

It was said that they were hiding without showing themselves at all. If such masters were to intentionally hide themselves, it would be impossible to find them during a war.

“Rather, war will bring us enormous wealth.”

With the power he has built up from that wealth, he will try to bite the neck of the wounded victor.

The sword dance openly mocked him.

“That’s right. That was your way. Wasn’t that your past life, where you kept your mouth shut and waited for the moment to strike you in the back of the head?”

Even though it was something that could have made him lose his temper, So Jeong-rak was very relaxed. The tantrum right before death is always laughable.
It was a situation where there were no variables. There were two masters in a state where the poison would burst the blood vessels and kill if you used your internal energy.

So Jeong-rak looked at the two Normas happily.

The demon king was swaying with blood-red magic energy, and it was the first time he had seen someone display such red and clear magic energy.

His famous martial art is Flame Palm.
It is a magical art that contains the hot energy of the extreme sun like lava. The sight of the palm flying into the chest like a firebrand and burning the skin and digging into the body is a martial art that is scary just to imagine.

Even at the age of a hundred, his eyes still radiated a fearsome glare no less than that of a young man.

I looked at Baekgolhonma again this time.
His face and hands and feet were as white as powder, so at first glance he really looked like a skeleton. Well, considering his age, he really should be a skeleton.

Her skinny body was adorned with all sorts of bone ornaments, all of which were made from real human bones.

His poisonous martial art was the Hwanhon Gwiryeonggong (還魂鬼靈功), a forbidden magical art that dealt with the souls of the dead.
It was a magical art that was scary just to imagine, stealing souls, reviving corpses, and hundreds of skeletons rising and rushing at you.

The dark aura in his eyes gave the impression that he was literally connected to hell.

‘What do you think? Even if it were you, would you shout in front of these people?’

So Jeong-rak looked up at Geommu-geuk with a proud heart.
Then Geommu-geuk suddenly spoke to the two old men.

“Aren’t you going to say hello?”

So Jeong-rak thought he had misheard.
But he hadn’t.
Geommu-geuk spoke to them even louder.

“I am the temporary leader. Say hello first!”

The demon king and the white bone demon looked at each other. How could they have imagined that the sword dance would turn out like this?

“Temporary leader? Is the leader dead?”

The demon asked in a scratchy voice. He seemed to have aged, and his voice was very unpleasant to listen to.

Then So Jeong-rak answered politely.

“The Demon Lord is currently undergoing closed-door training.”

Instead, Baekgolhonma, who was listening from the side, opened his mouth wide. His mouth was clearly visible as he smiled brightly like a child, but all his teeth had fallen out and only a few remained.

“It’s good that you’re alive. I’ll tear the demon leader to pieces with my own hands.”

He was one hundred and fifty years old, but he had a clear and thin childlike voice.
Just as they say that when you grow old, you become a child, his voice and his expression were both bright and cheerful.

However, the eyes filled with a dark aura were in such contrast to his appearance that it gave off an overall eerie feeling.

The energy surging from the demon’s body grew hot and fiery.

“Me too. Let’s tear that little bastard apart today.”

While I was tied up in Geummalyeong, I only hoped for this day. It was truly a time of evil. If I gave in to their demands and lifted the ban, the years I had spent would be compensated in blood.

Geommu-geuk snickered. Was he trying to show off in front of me? Or had he lost all sense of reality after being tied up in Geumma-ryeong for so long?

If you were a master of the righteous sect, you could say something like that. However, for someone who has mastered the magic arts, it would definitely be a bluff.

Because it was the Nine Fire Magic Art that was at the pinnacle of all magic arts, it was several times more difficult to fight the Nine Fire Magic Art with magic arts.

Moreover, my father is challenging a new realm beyond the ten stars.

When Geommugeuk laughed, Baekgolhonma also laughed brightly.
Geommugeuk looked into his mouth and said.

“You don’t have any teeth, but you can still eat?”

After staring intently at the sword dance, Baekgol Honma looked at the demon king.

“What happened to our school while I was away?”
“I heard that young people these days have lost their manners.”
“It was like that in my time too, and it’s still the same.”

The child’s voice and the scraping sound of metal went back and forth.
Even though he heard their conversation, Geommugeuk treated them even more harshly.

“Greetings first! Be polite first, and then I’ll ask you questions!”

The demon king and the white bone demon looked at the sword dance. At first, they looked at him with a feeling of resentment, wondering what kind of a bald guy this was.

The eyes of the swordsman looking at them were clear and deep.

Even in the heat, it does not get hotter.
Even in the deep darkness, it does not sink.

There was no recklessness or carelessness in his eyes, which was not able to tell the difference between heaven and earth.
The sword dance was truly scolding him.

You rude people! Be polite when you speak nicely!

They were scolding each other with dignity and authority without an ounce of fear.

Moreover, the sword dance now did not display any internal energy at all. It was just the natural human presence that overwhelmed them.

“That’s amazing.”

The demon clapped his hands. It was a sincere applause. It was the first time he had been so overwhelmed by a young opponent.

Baekgolhonma also revealed his honest feelings.

“It’s a shame to kill him, it’s a shame.”

I could see where the analysis that the Demon Lord was causing the Demon War came from. How could I bear to lose a son like this?

The sword dance continued to calmly scold them.

“Age is something you eat with your mouth. Know when to speak, and when to keep quiet. Know when to curse, and when to greet. Prove with your mouth that you have not aged in vain.”

There was a moment of silence.
And then something amazing happened. The demon king who had been quietly staring at the sword dance really greeted them.

“The Demon Lord is here to see the temporary leader.”

It was a scraping sound, but it was a polite greeting. Of course, it wasn’t that I wouldn’t kill him because I greeted him. I was impressed by this imaginary prayer. At such a young age, with this much momentum, I should at least greet him.

On the other hand, Baekgolhonma did not greet him obediently.

“I wasted my age. Because of your damned cult leader.”

But there was no way that Geommugeuk would respond easily.

“It’s because of the sins you committed. Greetings!”

Hwaaaaah!

At that moment, a dark aura emanated from Baekgolhonma’s eyes.

“Let me see if I am worthy of greeting you.”

The Dark Mind Eye, which can see into the soul of a person, was activated. With this magic, one could know what kind of person the opponent was.
No bluff or pretense worked in front of the Dark Mind Eye. Because one could see his true, naked appearance. Seeing a fox wearing a tiger mask, seeing a coward wearing armor.

That moment when I looked into the heart of Geommugeuk!

Baekgolhonma flinched.
After a moment, the dark energy disappeared from his two eyes.
His gaze, which had been looking into the mind of Geommu-geuk, changed.
He quietly stared at Geommu-geuk and took a step back from the fight.

“Baekgolhonma, please meet the temporary leader.”

Only then did Geommugeuk receive greetings from the two people.

“It’s a temporary religious leader’s sword dance.”

At this moment, they felt as if they were in the Heavenly Demon Hall. Geommu-geuk was sitting on the throne, and the two felt as if they were looking up at Geommu-geuk from below.

As if he had never shown off his authority before, Geommugeuk smiled brightly and greeted me again. He seemed friendly, as if he was seeing a different person than before.

“It’s nice to meet you, our seniors. Even if we kill each other, it’s okay to at least say hello, right?”

So Jeong-rak, who was watching the scene, thought that changing his goal to sword fighting this time was a really good decision.
In this situation, he was going to receive greetings from two people? Who in the world of martial arts could possibly do that?

I am convinced that if this cult leader grows any further, no one will be able to stop him.

So Jeong-rak suppressed the momentum of the sword dance. He also felt its greatness, so he belittled it as if it was nothing.

“I’m completely terrified to meet you two without being able to use my inner energy. I don’t think I even know what I’m talking about right now.”

When he heard that he couldn’t use his internal energy, the demon king expressed his discontent in a voice that was even more scratchy.

“Why did you suppress our internal energy? We said we would kill them ourselves!”

A greeting is a greeting, and the desire to tear the sword dance to pieces remains the same.

So Jeong-rak explained about the Geommu Theater. They have been tied up in Geumma-ryeong for decades, so they probably don’t know the current state of the martial arts world.

“That cult leader possesses truly unparalleled martial arts skills.”

Those who have already died to the cult leader have proven it.

“Even now that my internal energy has been suppressed, I am someone who should never let my guard down.”
“But that doesn’t mean I can kill someone who can’t even use internal energy. Let him go.”

So Jeong-rak said with a calm face.

“That can’t be.”

Although the two Normas were fearsome, So Jeong-rak was not afraid of them. A person who uses poison is not afraid of anyone. The only person he acknowledges is the Poison King.

Breaking the tense atmosphere between the two, Baekgolhonma stepped forward. Instead of asking them to release the internal energy of the sword dance, he asked something else.

“Are you ready to lift the ban?”
“If you kill the two people as promised, I will immediately implement the Great Law.”

At those words, Geommugeuk was startled and asked.

“You said the target changed to me? But why are there two?”

Then a name that shouldn’t have come out came out.

“I will kill you and I will kill Jin Ha-gun too. Since one side lost a son, it would be fair for the other side to lose a grandson.”

So Jeong-rak said to the two Normas.

“Please end this now.”

Baekgol Honma looked at Magyeomgun. Magyeomgun nodded at the look in his eyes that suggested that he join hands. Baekgol Honma, who had previously looked into Geommu Geuk’s mind, felt that he had become more cautious than before. He was not the type of person to do this. What on earth did he see?

Just as the two were walking towards the sword dance.

“But have you two met someone who can release you from your bondage?”

At Geommugeuk’s question, Magyeomgun and Baekgolhonma stopped walking.
Their gazes turned to So Jeongrak.

“Isn’t it over there?”

Geommugeuk shook his head at the devil’s question.

“That person can’t do it alone.”

The devil’s expression hardened slightly.

“No?”
“How could you break the Golden Horse’s Golden Rule by yourself? If it were that easy, how could the Golden Horse have lasted for so long?”

The demon king asked So Jeong-rak.

“Is it true?”

So Jeong-rak did not answer.

“That’s a matter for us to handle.”

So Jeong-rak could tell. That Geommu-geuk was trying to drag in another one of his own. Seriously, this guy… … is crazy!

The expressions of the demon king and the white bone demon instantly hardened. One side of their prayers became hotter, and the other side became colder.

So Jeong-rak was in a difficult position. He should have just killed him from the beginning instead of being lazy.
Every time Geommu-geuk opened his mouth, an unexpected situation unfolded.

The mouth opened again.

“I don’t know, but that law will cost a lot of money. It will probably cost so much that you’ll have second thoughts when you think about it.”

How could the two Normas not know what that other idea was? It meant that it would be cheaper to kill them than to practice Dafa.

The Magim army firmly denied that statement.

“That can’t be true.”

Baekgolhonma also nodded. At least he seemed to trust the person who made this promise.

“I don’t know who made the promise, but he is the one who will carry it out. Isn’t it the heart of the person who puts a knife to your body that is important?”

Then So Jeong-rak spoke leisurely.

“It seems like you’re trying to sow discord with trivial words, but it’s not going to work.”

Then Geommugeuk said something unexpected.

“I’m going to show you now why that person is untrustworthy.”

As soon as I finished speaking.

Shhh.

The sword of the sword dance was pulled out.

Choaaaak.

“Ugh!”

The one who let out a single scream was So Jeong-rak. The sword energy flying from the sword of Geommu-geuk split in all directions and cut the vine-like line connecting So Jeong-rak and the sleeping patients.
It seemed like a simple move, but it was filled with the highest level of martial arts. That’s why it seemed easy and simple.

“Didn’t I lie a little while ago that I couldn’t use my internal energy?”

Before So Jeong-rak could make an excuse, Geommu-geuk quickly added.

“Our two seniors intended to rush at me defenselessly and put themselves in danger.”

In that moment, the expressions of the Demon King and the White Bone Demon hardened. They had clearly heard him say that he could not use his internal energy.

“Aren’t you planning to make us fight each other and then kill everyone with poison at the end?”

So Jeong-rak just blankly listened to Geommu-geuk’s words. More than being misunderstood now, he was shocked by the fact that his previous poison had not worked.

‘Why doesn’t my vein burst and I die?’

But to the two Normas, that appearance seemed like an acknowledgment of the words of the sword dance.

So Jeong-rak asked Geommu-geuk.

“What happened?”

The question was why I wasn’t addicted.

“What happened? The plan to use me to plot a double-cross failed.”

The sword dance began to boil the two horses.

“It has been said that the arm bends inward since ancient times. If we join forces, I will save my life and you will break the ban. What do you think?”

So Jeong-rak was flustered. He never expected that Geommu-geuk would try to side with the two mines.

‘What on earth are you planning?’

But in this urgent situation, it was impossible to figure out the true intention of the sword dance.

“Don’t fall for their wicked tricks.”

Then, So Jeong-rak secretly rebuked Geommu-geuk again.

White snake powder.

It was a poison that blinded and silenced me. First, I had to make that mean mouth shut.

But Geommugeuk opened his eyes even wider and raised his voice.

“Our seniors, are you going to trust your life to that liar?”
