Episode 128 Death
Kwakwakwakwang!
It hasn’t even been a day since I vowed to destroy the Seonghwasaru.
But the results were disastrous.
No matter how much effort was put into it, it was difficult to avoid the return of the first attack in Geon-Gon-Dae-Na-I.
The terrain collapsed and the Heavenly Demon Barrier disappeared without a trace.
The current situation is… …f*ck.
[Can we… win?]
The sound of Whi’s voice seeped into my head. Phew. A sigh escaped me.
The master of the palace approaches with a lively and cheerful demeanor like a monster. He is clean without a single injury.
On the other hand, Hwi and I look like we could collapse at any moment.
Instead of confidence, a sense of helplessness took over, as if I was facing a huge wall.
[Coming!]
Kwaaaaang!
He rolled his body so clumsily that it was embarrassing to even say that he had avoided his tension.
The internal energy that had been building up was gradually reaching its end.
[[You and your father are so foolish. You could have had everything, but you Ma family has always been like that. You have been blind to the greater good and have been fixated on petty things. How foolish.]]
“Okay, stop nagging me. My ears are ringing.”
And I’m not Mr. Ma, I’m Mr. Yang.
[[You still haven’t come to your senses.]]
I let it out one ear and took a deep breath. When I looked at Hwi, I saw that he had not been able to dodge it completely; one of his arms was cleanly cut off.
Once again, his indiscriminate attacks poured out, and Hui and I fought back with all our might.
But it’s useless.
Kwaaaaang!
Rolling around on the floor, reduced to rags.
[Whew… … It seems like there is only one way.]
[Is there a way? He is the one who turns everything back. He has superior skills, discipline, and learning. He has no flaws.]
[The odds were against me anyway. Get closer. All I had to do was let him down his guard and let me get closer.]
[Is that possible? We can’t catch him with our movements.]
I know. So I have to do something.
I ignored the urgent sound of Hwi’s voice and looked at the guy.
He’s still full of anger. He’s arrogant and lonely, so he talks a lot.
There’s only one thing you can do now.
[Let’s surrender.]
[That, that cowardly!]
What are you looking at with such disgust?
[Listen until the end. Just destroy the Holy Fire Tower and it’s over. Just calm him down and get close to him. If you try to fight him, there’s no way to get close. So just kneel for now. Then I’ll figure out what to do.]
[You want to calm me down and then kill me? Isn’t that even more cowardly? I’d rather lose my life!]
[This isn’t the Murim Alliance. And even back then, it wasn’t that justified when you risked your life.]
[You too! I’m different!]
[Okay, kneel.]
[Quantum angle-!]
Thud. Whi and I knelt down at the same time. The demon disappeared like dust, and no trace of blood flowed from my body.
The approaching Heavenly Princess stopped walking three paces away from me.
[[What are you doing?]]
“As you can see, I lost.”
I feel the Heavenly Princess staring at me blankly without saying a word.
[Each. Hurry up and raise me up. Order me to fight until I die. Otherwise, I will stop you somehow. Run away. We can wait until next time. Each!]
Whee. Sorry, but there’s no next time. I can’t lose you here, and I can’t run away and abandon the others.
Once is enough.
Five claws, martial arts, always catching the fangs.
Hitting is useless. You just need to be able to spread the Philpoa that grabs and tears it off.
[[Even if you change your mind now, it is too late. Your father gave you to me, so death is not a change.]]
“Hey. Why should I die because of that damned father? It’s so unfair.”
[[Do you blame your father?]]
“Of course. Not only did the leader abandon his followers and say he would live on his own, but when his only son tried to do something, instead of helping him, he just threw him in the towel.”
I carefully got up and took a step towards him.
Now the only distance left is this.
[[Haha… … . It would have been interesting if your father had heard this.]]
“I can show you something even better. How about we catch that human together. Then, I’ll stab him in the heart with my sword. And with my own hands. Then, you can have a fight without raising a hand, just like you do with the sinners of the Demonic Cult.”
One more step. One more step left.
[[… … It is a cheerful thought, but the promise your father made is not something that can be easily changed. Unfortunately, you cannot get through today.]]
“Ha, that’s too bad. I thought I was finally able to live a life of leisure. Does that mean I’m destined to live my whole life like a loser and die before I can ascend to the throne once the Great Heavenly Emperor is over?”
[[Don’t be sorry. Your father will definitely send you with me, so you can take out your grudge in the afterlife.]]
“Okay. Since I have no way to win and I can’t escape anyway, I’ll just die cleanly. Let me ask you one last favor.”
Damn. I finally got in front of him.

You came here shouting this and that… … If you make a mistake, you’ll end up on the road to hell in an instant.
Just once. You must seize the opportunity and destroy the Seonghwasaru in one go.
First, I have to make him flustered… … .
[[What is it?]]
“Can I hug you?”
[[… … .]]
I know without you saying it.
His murderous intent grows uncontrollably. I don’t think this is right.
“Sorry… … . I was so scared and nervous when I was about to die. Oh, you said you felt the trajectory of the main attack in the first attack I did earlier? Should I tell you why?”
[[Speak nonsense in front of King Yeomra.]]
“The first emperor’s ten martial arts.”
[[what……?]]
It is now.
Samjang (三掌) Mugeuk (武極)
Heartbreaking palm
One of the reasons why Cheonmasingong is a martial art that reverses the heavens is because of its fast energy that is not affected by the eight meridians.
Kwaaaaaaah!
At the moment when the Heavenly Demon was created, my palm was already directed towards his chest, and the Heavenly Demon God knocked on his inner self.
[[this guy……!]]
Kwaaaaaaaah-!
At that moment of life and death, he unfolded the Geongon Daenae. The wave of the heart returned to me again.
But that was already expected.
Time of life and death
Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts
One sword, enlightenment
Flying and breaking the pipa
He twisted his body, leaving an afterimage. Then he deflected the flying wave of the heart with the Holy Fire Sword.
The wind pressure rises, and the bastard’s body shakes. And just like that, he sends this back to Geon-Gon-Dae-Na-I.
The Holy Spirit was revealed through the gap in the robe, and the teeth were bitten, leaving behind an afterimage once again.
Time of life and death
Heavenly Demon Ten Martial Arts
Five Claws, Martial Ultimate
Philpoa (必捕牙)
The lute that returns to my body.
And the fangs of a snake extend out from the guy’s waist.
I will give you flesh and take your bones.
This is your last chance!
Kwaaaaang-!
“Kkaaaah!”
An unwanted scream poured out, and blood spurted out as he was thrown to the stone statue like a rag.
[Go, each one!]
He coughed as if his airway was blocked, and blood filled his mouth.
I lean against the stone statue and my head falls down, revealing my pitiful body.
The long, slashed chest reveals bones, and even those appear to be half-split.
If it weren’t for the wind-blown clothing of the Seonghwa Mask, my body would have been torn in two.
[[Was it really that reckless of you to hope for a stroke of luck?]]
“Ah… … . That’s what I mean… … . If I rush at you to kill you… … I don’t think you’ll give me a chance.”
Phew! After coughing incessantly and spitting up blood, my breathing stabilized a little and I could see the approaching bastard.
[[How did you learn the Super Emperor’s Ten Martial Arts?]]
“Haha… … . Curious?”
[[All the martial arts that exist in the Myunggyo have passed through my hands. If what you have learned is the Chohwang Shipmuryu… … then you obtained it from somewhere I do not know.]]
“If you’re curious… … solve it yourself, kid. When you go to the afterlife.”
I chuckled and raised my hands high with all my remaining strength.
What I hold in my hand is not a magic sword, but a black hourglass.
The moment the guy’s lute sliced through my body, I barely managed to get my hands on the sacred saru.
[[You… … you… … ?]]
“Don’t feel so wronged.”
[[Stop-!]]
It’s too late. My hand fell off.
He flies toward me with a momentum that seems to pierce through heaven and earth.
Kwakwakwakwa-!
The massive force surrounding his hand soon filled my vision, just before it touched my body.
I struck the sacred fire arrow down on the statue of Cheonma.
Chaenggrang!
Shards of glass fly and black sand envelops my body.
It’s finally over.
I won.
Now he will disappear.
That’s probably it.
That’s correct.
Now I have to go and rescue my family.
why…….
Is it still the same?
[Gaaaaak-!]
For a split second, Hui’s scream pierced my ears, and I saw the Heavenly Palace Princess flying towards me like a ferocious blade without any concern.
why……?
A cozy feeling filled my head, and my mind went out as if my wick had gone out.
As if falling into a deep sleep.
Kwaaaaaaaang-!
* * *
Myunggyo Ilbong Somyeonggung
It was truly a miserable catastrophe.
The devastated battlefield was left with only the remains of the blood-stained Somyeong Palace.
“Ugh… … I’ll… … receive the prophecy… … ugh!”
Boom! The man who had been walking leisurely stepped on the surviving warrior of the Heavenly Palace and crushed him.
Although his clothes were disheveled and he looked tired, Matae Ping still exuded a refined beauty.
Banya, the spies hiding in the palace, and the warriors of the heavenly palace.
No one could stop him.
“The chains of bondage have finally been broken… … .”
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It was the moment when liberation from the Heavenly Palace came. Since he did not hand over the dragon body, it was only natural that his son, the Sogyoju, would pay the price instead.
When he turned his head slightly, Banya was lying on the floor, gasping for breath, seemingly having difficulty controlling her body.
“If you want the mountain so badly, I will give it to you. Take it.”
“Huh… … . Are you cowardly… thinking of running away? This cult leader is truly amazing.”
Banya, lying face down and drinking arsenic. Matae Pyeong approaches him with indifferent eyes. Then, he glances down and slams his hand down with a thousand-pound weight.
“Kuaaaah!”
“I guess that wasn’t enough. It’s not just my job to keep you alive. So you’d better think carefully before you speak.”
“Ugh… … Hehe… … . That’s right… … .”
“Tell the mountain elder straight. This time, I paid my debt. Next time, it’s your turn.”
“Do you think you’ll be safe after… leaving this place? Haha! Not at all. You’ll become a target not only of the royal family, but of everyone, including the Prime Minister.”
“Why do you think I’ve been hiding all this time? I’ll take care of that, so don’t worry… … I promise. The day I return, I’ll erase Cheongung from the world.”
“Haha… … ! I remember… … . Yes. I remember it over and over again. I chew on it over and over again.”
“Or so.”
Matthew turned around with a jerk.
The princesses and the surviving archers followed suit.
“Reverend, is it okay for us to continue like this? Too much blood has been shed.”
Danjeonghak asked in a resentful voice, as if he didn’t want to turn around like this.
“… … If we delay any longer and the other Angels arrive, then we will lose everything.”
“One… … Okay, I understand.”
Danjeonghak nodded, controlling his anger.
Banya gritted her teeth and watched them disappear as if she was going to kill them. But she didn’t have the courage to move.
The majesty that Matthew displayed was truly astonishing.
You won’t be able to stop it alone!
You probably don’t have any more energy left!
There were hundreds of warriors of the Heavenly Palace who rushed to the flame like moths in such vain hope and died.
It was a mistake to believe that he and the warriors of the Heavenly Palace would definitely be able to catch him.
The realm of the cult leader that I personally experienced was truly beyond compare.
‘Only the devil can compete with the master.’
Banya had no choice but to admit this.
furthermore.
‘The princesses were all alive. Even if Cheon Se-min managed to escape, what about the rest? Dan Jeong-hak and Dong Bang-eul were at Miinbong. How did you know about them and save them when they were scattered all over Cheonsan?’
It would make sense if Zhuge Tong had a double agent, but if that were the case, Cheongungju’s magic would not have worked.
This is possible because there was a complete betrayal.
“Keuheuk… … . Haha… … !”
Banya sat up, looked around, and laughed like a madman.
Hundreds of Heavenly Palace warriors were killed, and spies hidden in each palace for a single opportunity were killed.
It was a complete defeat.
This fight is between the cult leader, Matthew Pyung.
It was a victory for the absolute.
“I will definitely… make you regret it. Definitely.”
The desperate tone of Banya rang out.

Myunggyo Wolbong Seonghwagung
After a long night, dawn broke across the eastern sky.
Princess Seonghwa walked lightly in the garden, looking around with indifferent eyes.
“The flowers… have fallen.”
I picked up a red petal that had fallen and broken off while spraying.
The long battle between Ma Cheon So and San Jung Jang Ro ended at dawn, and a new day dawned on Myeonggyo.
Now, many things will be different than yesterday.
She prayed to the statue of the Heavenly Horse standing tall, and once again recalled the traces of the fierce battlefield.
*Kwaaaaaaaang-!
The battle ended with a loud noise.
Surprisingly, only one person was left in the empty lot.
[[What have you dared to do… … .]]
Elder of the mountains.
Even though Seonghwasaru disappeared without a trace, he did not die.
On the other hand, Ma Cheon-so and Mo Yong-hui disappeared without a trace, perhaps without even leaving behind a body.
[[Yoo So-ha… … Is this what you did?]]
In response to his piercing question, a woman appeared.
Princess Seonghwa, Yoo So-ha. That’s her.
“How could I, a mere man of lowly stature, do something like this? This too must be the will of the Holy Spirit.”
[[… … To trade that child’s life for the Holy Fire. How foolish.]]
“It was a fight you couldn’t win anyway. But didn’t you buy some time? You haven’t obtained the dragon body and you don’t have the Holy Spirit, so it will be difficult to maintain your current body, so you will have to rest for several years.”
[[… … How cheeky. Is this what Matthew Ping meant?]]
“Well, you don’t have to worry too much about anything. The Elder of the Mountains will elect the leader he wants, and the Myunggyo will move according to his will. I will make it so.”
[[… … You are once again crouching in your seat to survive.]]
“It’s just not time to go yet.”
[[Remember, no matter what you do, the result will not change.]]
“Yes, keep that in mind.”
As she bowed her head politely and answered, the mountain elder’s new form disappeared as if scattering.
*“Your Majesty, you have finally obtained the Holy Fire Saru. It is truly admirable.”
He muttered to himself, breaking free from his childhood memories. His eyes looked quite distant.
“I have told the little cult leader three lies. First, I have never joined hands with the Heavenly Palace. I have only used them. The only person I serve is the leader. It was also intentional to unleash the Great Black Heavenly Demon in the Great Heavenly Festival, and I knew that this would eventually happen.”
A secret that only she had to keep.
Her confession, although unheard, was enough to stir up everyone.
“… … Secondly, the Elder of the Mountain is not an immortal being. He is just an evil spirit who creates a body suitable for him using the sand of the Holy Fire Saru to prolong his life. However, even that is coming to an end, and if he does not obtain the final dragon body, he will face death.”
She slowly turned her body. A single weed that had managed to survive on the devastated land caught her eye.
“Thirdly… … The Oshinki is not something that anyone can handle, even if they have the power of the sun. Only those who have inherited the progress of the Heavenly Demon can manifest it. Among them, the Seonghwasaru is the key to time that can see the past. You will see everything, including the past that the young cult leader has forgotten and why it had to be this way. My sins… … If you can return, I will gladly accept it then.”
She knelt carefully and drew the shape of a flame with her hand.
The leader of the small sect, Ma Cheon-so, disappeared without a trace.
A new morning has dawned at Myunggyo.
* * *
Twenty days have passed since the great incident at Myeonggyo, known as the ‘Great Battle of Somyeong’, occurred.
The believers who had been in confusion went about their lives as they always had, and the only thing that remembered that day was the story that resounded like a heroic tale in the guest house.
“Have you guys heard the news?”
“What are you talking about? Is this the story of the Battle of Somyeong again? I know. Didn’t the princesses plot a rebellion and kill the little cult leader? Hey, tsk tsk. How can you be so greedy? It’s the end of the world, the end of the world.”
“Other than that.”
“What else is there?”
“This time, didn’t the old man Hongraksa defeat that son of a bitch, Yulcheon, who was the mastermind behind the murder, and become the new leader?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But why?”
“It’s because the news is so slow. That’s why Heuk-o, who was recently promoted to military officer, posted a notice saying that he is reorganizing the Ming school.”
“room?”
“Yal Yulchon will be locked up in Manmadong for the rest of his life and rot away, and the other princesses have all escaped Cheonsan, so isn’t it true that the Seven Great Palaces have disappeared?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But what… … . Wouldn’t they establish it again? After all, it’s the old family.”
“That’s not it. They’re going to completely eliminate the clan system, and give important positions to anyone with outstanding ability, even if they’re just ordinary people. That means they’re going to reorganize around the elders. So maybe this is our chance too. So I’m thinking of applying as well.”
“Is that true?”
“Yeah. Then should I lie and drink for free? Haha. Then you pay for the drinks this time.”
“What, what?!”
A woman of mysterious age sitting in a corner sighed deeply as she listened to the drunkards’ chattering conversation and poured herself a glass of alcohol.
She was a beautiful woman with a young face and a cute impression.
“It’s ruined. It’s ruined everyone but me. Ugh… … .”
He gulped down the alcohol and then poured more. His face was flushed with how much he had drunk, and the corners of his mouth went up just by looking at him.
“You look like you drank quite a bit.”
“I don’t know… … . Don’t bother me and go. I’m not interested… … .”
The woman waved her hand without even raising her head as if she was annoyed by the shadow standing in front of her. There have been more than a few people who have approached me like this before. This time will be no different.
“Kikki… … . I’m interested in you.”
“Oh, I said no… … . I’m not here… … Mom!”
The woman, who had been shivering in annoyance, screamed at the boy sitting in front of her.
Hiccup. Uh, how?
“If you were going to hide, you should have hidden until the end. Isn’t that right?”
“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… .”
Shh. The pretty boy put his index finger to my mouth and smiled creepily.
Then he snatched the glass, drank it in one gulp, and opened his mouth.
“That guy Yul-Cheon killed the leader of the sect. The other guys helped him and left Cheon-San with the successors. But why can’t I believe that? Huh? Hehe. You tell me.”
“Excuse me, excuse me. I think you’ve got the wrong person. This is our first meeting, and uh… … . Um… … . I don’t know anything? Hehe.”
“Really? If you don’t know, it’ll be difficult. Then it’ll be quite a difficult time for you.”
“Oh, I’ll go first. Hey, hey! Boss!”
As the woman tried to get up in a hurry, the boy raised his hand and said.
“Everyone get out.”
Then, the noisy atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and some of those inside disappeared outside, taking the guests with them with cold eyes.
The young woman tried to hold back her trembling heart, then smiled brightly and ran out.
“You stay.”
Dangling. The boy grabbed the back of the woman’s neck and lifted her up, then sat her back down. He didn’t forget to giggle.
“Why are you doing this to me… … .”
“I’ll count to five now. Bring the child named Hyang-myo. Five.”
“I don’t know who that person is. Seriously!”
“four.”
“No matter what you say, I really don’t know?”
“three.”
“How can you bring someone you don’t know!”
“two.”
“Please! Sob, sob. Please save me.”
“one.”
The corners of the boy’s mouth dropped, and murderous intent spread through the inn like a terrible stench.
Then, the woman of mysterious age spread her arms wide and crossed them wide and said.
“Ta-da! Special agent Hyang-myo, I’ve come running at your Majesty’s call! Hehe.”
“Kik kik. This is still fun.”
The handsome boy, no, the princess, Gu Yang-ryong, who was holding his stomach and laughing, laughed for a long time as if he was so happy about something.
“Ugh… … . Why did you come here?”
“I need to find one person.”
“Even if it’s not me, you can find it easily in Salgung.”
“The elders are really annoying.”
As Xiang Miao began to groan, Gu Yang Ryong leaned back in his chair and took down a letter from his bosom.
“What is it?”
“You’ll understand when you read it.”
At his words, Hyang-myo swallowed her upper lip with her lower lip and slowly opened the letter.
【Gu Yang-ryong, let’s make a deal. If something happens to me, you stay by Dan Ye-hwa’s side. If you catch Hyang-myo, you’ll be able to find her. Her nose is special. If you do that, I’ll stick with you properly. – Ma Cheon-so Compensation】
“Uh… …? Did you give this to me, sir?”
“No matter how much I think about it, I can’t believe he’s dead. Hehe. Besides, everything that’s happened right now reeks of my f*cking master.”
“Uh… … Your Majesty, didn’t your master pass away? You killed him yourself… … Huh!”
“Keep on. Well, that’s the past. Now you know what you have to do, right?”
“Excuse me… My dear princess? The young lady is not in Cheonsan right now. If I were to look for her, I would have to go far, far away.”
“That’s good. It was already boring and uninteresting since everything disappeared. Hehe. You owe him money, so take the lead.”
“Mom… … . Ugh… … .”
Gu Yang-ryong grabbed Hyang-myo by the back of his neck and left the inn.
Her sorrowful cries echoed, and that day, Salgung disappeared from Cheonsan.
