Becoming the Swordmaster Rank Young Lord of the Sichuan Tang Family Chapter 253

Episode 252. Dokwoo

It is a well-known fact that intelligence and tenacity are important in learning a foreign language.

However, most martial arts schools tend to place more weight on the latter of the two qualities.

This is because martial arts and martial arts are ultimately performed with the body.

Even if you understand the general principles with excellent intelligence, putting them into practice is another story. Furthermore, most of the things called ascending martial arts are directly related to the enlightenment and achievements gained through learning martial arts, so it is not possible to guarantee that you will gain deep achievements simply by having excellent intelligence.

Of course, those with overwhelming five-star status – the qualities of a great master – can instantly delve into the mysteries, principles, and secret arts of the martial arts and modify and create them to suit their own bodies… … but such a being only appears once every several hundred years, so it is out of the question.

Anyway.

Being born with excellent stamina meant that he was born with a more certain quality than anything else.

People with excellent muscle strength usually have no unnecessary movements, because their bodies move well as they think. Ordinary people make mistakes even when they try to move just as they imagine in their head or by watching others move. That’s why they spend time correcting and learning the form of the first movement, but those with strong muscle strength learn the form very quickly and naturally acquire the secrets contained therein without much thought.

Regardless of whether you are entering a martial arts school of Jeong (正), Sin (邪), or Ma (魔), you will first learn the breathing techniques and the forms of the first martial arts techniques. Therefore, if you have excellent muscle and bones, you will inevitably have good results in your early training.

The earlier you can deepen your achievements, the greater your chances of reaching the next level, because you can delve into the subject for a relatively long time.

Is that all?

The word ‘Geungol’ literally means ‘muscle’ and ‘bone’. Having excellent muscles and bones means that the body has excellent endurance, so it can easily endure harsh training and recover quickly. In other words, if you put your mind to it, you can spend your time densely.

Also, when performing the same martial arts, the one with superior bone and muscle strength is generally more powerful. This is because the degree to which the body is strengthened by true energy is proportional to the level of bone and muscle strength that serves as its foundation.

In this way, the innate physical qualities of muscle and bone have a great influence on the overall life of a person.

But, you are given one chance to change these muscles━

That is a complete transformation.

* * *

━You must escape immediately!

It was a thought that commonly occurred in the minds of not only the Silk Hongyeonnachalgeom Son Yeon-su, but also the Death-Era Demon Gu In-ryeong, the Blue-Blooded Demon Lord Yuk Jin-myeong, and the Byeokantu Demon Hwang Ja-gyu.

They too were bewildered as it was their first time experiencing it, but they were naturally well aware of the phenomenon called transformation, as they had been wishing to reach the extreme state for a long time.

For a warrior, a complete transformation is extremely important. Isn’t it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change one’s bones and muscles right after passing through the threshold of life and death?

It was a joyous thing to reach the extreme, but the timing was not good.

It is common for bone metamorphosis to occur while the person who has passed through the threshold of life and death is unconscious. This is because the process of bones being crushed into small pieces and then reattached repeatedly causes extreme pain.

As the elder demons reached the extreme level of the demonic realm and were able to control the demonic energy within their bodies, they were freed from the demonic possession that had been tormenting them, as well as the blood-curdling demonic attack they had just cast. However, as a result, even the sense of pain that had been dulled for a while returned, so if the transformation continued like this, there was a great concern that they would lose consciousness due to the extreme pain.

Of course, the self-defense skills that naturally arose during the transformation would protect the entire body, but that did not mean that safety could be guaranteed. The opponent was a master of the Hwakyung technique who was so skilled that he could even corner the cult leader.

If you risked your life to overcome the crisis of life and death, only to die after undergoing a complete transformation, wouldn’t that be more vain?

“What on earth is the leader… …!”

As soon as the new form of Dang-myeong disappeared, the Blue Blood Demon Sect’s Yuk Jin-myeong turned his head to one side and let out a voice mixed with resentment. It was understandable. Based on the circumstances, it seemed that the leader Yeon Mu-yeol had induced the senior demons to reach the extreme state of the demonic realm through the extreme prescription of the Reverse Blood Demonic Power. However, even though four demons of the extreme state were born, he did not pay any attention to them, and only held onto yellow talismans inside a dozen or so blue membranes and muttered unknown spells.

If only we could give them just a little bit of help, they could be transformed and find a safe place… …!

The antipathy towards the leader that had suddenly risen made the elder minions decide to run away. After all, they were free from the possession of demons. They calculated that even if they ran away, the leader would not be able to do anything to them right away.

They looked at each other for a brief moment, nodded as if confirming their intentions, and each shouted.

“The disciples should take the lead and stop him and protect the woman.”

“I will teach my eight methods of killing the soul of the demon sword to those who show their spirit and achieve great feats!”

“If you can’t kill that bastard anyway, isn’t your life just going to be wasted? Don’t take care of your body!”

“Above! Look at the sky!”

He is above━ Just like the last shout of the Emperor, the place where the divine shadow that had reached the extreme of the divine law disappeared was the sky. It was so high that it was difficult to discern unless the An-dharma achievement was deep. Hundreds of mines raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

‘I can’t miss a single one.’

The eyes of the obvious one flash like those of a hawk hunting its prey. In a short moment, the four of them reached the extreme state of demons. Although they are not comparable to the demons of the extreme demonic illusion method, they are by no means a small number. Even in the most powerful sects, there were only one or two masters who reached the state of fire.

If the old masters who have reached the extreme survive in this place, it could become a serious threat to the future power of Jeongdo. It is an issue where hundreds of lives could be lost in vain. And the Sogaju of Sacheondangga is not the type to leave behind any troubles.

‘… … I don’t know what your intentions are, but this one comes first.’

He briefly glanced at the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol and thought. The current situation in which he was ignoring the dangers of his subordinates and focusing only on unknown magic was clearly not normal, but at least at this moment, he did not seem to have any intention of running away. Furthermore, he had surrounded himself with several layers of blue membranes that could even block the qi. It would be better to deal with the elder demons for sure than Yeonmuyeol, who seemed difficult to attack right away.

Meanwhile.

There were several reasons why the name Dang-myung soared into the sky━

First, it was because the horizontal sword attack (殲) that was deployed with the intention of annihilation did not work properly. Since he was not a strong martial artist, he could deploy the sword attack (殲) several times without much trouble, but since the senior demons had reached the extreme, there was a concern that it would be blocked again. He did not have a proper grasp of what kind of magic the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol was preparing and what he was plotting. He could not waste time deploying the same sword attack multiple times just to deal with a few hundred demons. Although he did not know, he also thought that the Demon Lord had his subordinates deploy the reverse blood magic attack in order to secure an opening to deploy the magic.

‘I won’t be able to block the indiscriminate attacks coming from the sky.’

Secondly, it is because they judged that there was a possibility that the elder mines would escape. Think about the meaning of a complete transformation to a warrior. It is a chance to change your bones and muscles that comes once in a lifetime. If you are interrupted, you don’t know what will happen, so you want to do it in a place where at least a minimum level of safety is secured.

Of course, it was not easy to imagine that the senior demons would abandon him and run away, as the Demon Lord had just caused the demon to enter his body and showed his authority as the supreme ruler of the Xinjiang Demonic Cult. However, Dang-Myeong was keeping all possibilities open.

‘Those who enter the world of magic have the goal of their lives to climb the highest peak and escape the danger of demonic possession.’

I recall what I once heard from Jawoon. According to him, the elder demons who have now reached the extreme of the devil will no longer have to fear the devil master as they used to. They must have overcome the possession of the devil. It looks like they have also become free from the blood-curdling devil attack. If that is the case, then there is no reason for them not to escape.

If the four who had reached the extreme were to run away in different directions, there was a risk that they would miss the obvious destination. That was why the elder minions occupied the sky above their heads so that they would not be able to easily decide which direction to run away to, even if only momentarily.

Thirdly, finally.

‘There is no need to waste your mental and physical strength on things that have not yet been transformed.’

That’s right.

Even though they have reached the extreme, the elder mines have not yet acquired a proper body. Their transformation is not something that can be delayed. Since the sound of bones breaking was heard just a moment ago, they will soon experience extreme pain. In severe cases, they will lose consciousness. All we have to do is tie their feet until they become defenseless.

The swordsman’s martial arts were certainly powerful, but they also greatly depleted his mental and internal stamina. This was because he condensed his lifelong kendo skills into a single sword strike. The power of defeat itself was originally a power that could greatly damage the body, making it difficult to handle unless one had the strength of a dragon. In the case of the name, he used the principle of poison to make it so that there was no strain on the body.

If he was in perfect condition, it would be different, but after continuously destroying the magic, the two-faced man, and the zombies, a considerable amount of his mental and stamina was lost. Since the Demon Lord Yeonmuyeol is still alive, it would be right to conserve his strength if he could.

Fortunately, the current swordsman has a means to kill his opponent without having to expend much psychic power and stamina━

That’s right, it was poison.

And the Sogaju of Sacheondangga was a being that could make poisonous rain pour down from the dry sky.

Dang-myeong let go of the dagger, Snow White, as if throwing it slightly.

The moment the blade rose up and ricocheted the sunlight, the light caught the eyes of several people looking up from the ground!

Chara-la-la-la-rak━

When did he put his hand in his bosom? Dang-myung-myeong scattered a bundle of poison needles into the air. The poison needles fluttered for a moment. The movement of his hands did not stop at one time. He took out all the extra poison needles and poison pouches, stabbed himself deeply, applied poison, and threw them around repeatedly.

The action was very quick. Only now did the dagger Snow White begin its natural, planned descent.

As soon as Snow White passed by his waist, Dang-Myeong caught it again and blurted out a word.

Fall━

As the height was so high, no one on the ground heard it, but from that moment on, the poisonous rain brought about by the Sogaju of the Sacheondangga began to fall rapidly.
