The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 155
EP.155 Chapter 15 - Mission, Pursuit (5)
* * *
It was a point where my sense of time became blurry due to how much I had been running..
“found…!”
Mokriwon sensed the energy of the demons at the end of Cheonghae..
It wasn't an unfamiliar feeling..
The energy of each and every one reaches its peak.
Two of them were of a type that Mokriwon had already experienced..
“Sword Demon! Recommend! And there's one thing I don't know who it is!”
The entire group of six people stopped moving..
“are you sure?”
Danghwaseo asked.
Then Namgung Jincheon answered on his behalf..
“I feel it too. The energy of the Sword Demon is certain..”
Danghwaseo's expression hardened at the answer of Namgung Jincheon, who was the only one among those who were there right now to have faced the Sword Demon..
“Go after it right away….”
At that moment, the demons rushed at the members..
“Kill it ah!!!”
The number of demons with bright red eyes is easily dozens..
There was no major confusion because I could feel the approaching presence..
Meanwhile, Mokriwon made a quick decision and answered..
“Me and Geomryong will chase after you! Please take care of this place!”
“yes!”
Poisonous air flowed from Danghwaseo’s body..
Same goes for other members.
Each one released energy waves and began to confront the demons..
“sword dragon type!”
“know!”
Mok Ri-won and Namgung Jincheon ran through the demons..
“I will take charge of the horse riding! Please take charge of the sword demon.!”
“the other one?”
“I can't afford to catch three! I need to catch two certain six demons.!”
“The possibility of a joint attack….”
“No!”
Mokriwon declared.
there was no other reason.
The Gwonma Pae Woong-chu, whom I met during my last trip to Wuhan, was never a man who thought about joint attacks..
All he wants is to be with himself.
He was a person who even deceived his allies for that purpose, so his nature would not have changed even now..
Namgung Jincheon did not add any other rebuttal to the conviction expressed at the end of the judgment..
“…Trust me and leave it to me.”
And soon after, Mok Riwon’s words became reality..
The three demons were torn apart..
Heading towards Xinjiang in the distance is a transcendental magic that no one knows who it is..
Heading to the west was the Sword Demon Yeonrigeon, and heading east was the Gwonma Paeungchu..
“Then I will go too.!”
Mo Ri-won drew his sword and fired a light attack..
‘Paeungchu!’
I reflect on that..
No, more precisely, I reminisce about the duel with him, its aspects, and even the misery I felt at the end..
How sick I was..
How much helplessness I felt.
The faces of the warriors who had to die because they failed to properly stop Paeungchu in the past still remained in Mokriwon's mind..
‘I will never experience such misery again.!’
Mokriwon has definitely become stronger..
No longer a clumsy peak, I have become a complete superman..
I have reached a level where I can express my thoughts and intentions to the world..
As Mo Li-won increased his strength in the hand holding the sword, silent energy waves began to wave violently..
“stay silent!!!”
And Pae Woong Chu appears in front of you..
He, wearing dark red demonic energy all over his body, extends his fist..
Mokriwon issued a call to arms..
‘solar plexus!’
It is a gun that is shot towards the solar plexus..
Anticipating that the circle will change its orbit, the scope is set wider..
‘It can also extend to the uvula, shoulder, danjeon, and liver..’
The moment stretches for a long time..
Mo Ri-won's concentration is stretched to its limits, and Paeung-chu's Gwon constantly calculates the route..
Nothing changed.
Pae Woong-chu seemed to have no intention of changing Gwon's path, and just honestly stretched out his fist as if to block it..
‘then!’
There is no reason to avoid it.
Mok Riwon swung his sword at the attacking Gwon..
Wow!!!!
As the sword and fist met, a shock wave was created..
The bushes and branches of the nearby forest all stood up and shook..
“You've become stronger!”
“To catch you!”
“satisfied!”
thud!
Paeungchu steps forward and extends his left fist..
Mok Ri-won was fixing his sword to prevent it, but he trembled and got bitten..
‘It's a waste!’
That was a waste of time.
Unlike the first move, Pae Woong Chu was winning with cunning rather than honesty..
Fortunately, time flies faster than reality..
Mo Ri-won was able to avoid Kwon in time, and Pae Ung-chu's smile grew even brighter..
“Indeed, a thousand-year-old!”
Mok Riwon’s expression became distorted..
‘strong.’
It was definitely the end of the climax when we met during the trip..
However, when we met again, Pae Woong Chu was at the peak of his skills, as if to say that he was actually hiding his skills..
This was something that Mo Ri-won thought was strange..
It had to be that way..
A truth that cannot be helped even if we want to deny it, the growth of Mokriwon is a growth that relies on the power of a thousand times..
This is the growth rate achieved with the help of a star that is second to none when it comes to the growth of martial arts in this central land..
But Paeungchu caught up with it..
Even though there are no other stars for him..
“I looked forward to meeting you again..”
Paeungchu said as he adjusted his posture..
“Yes, I thought you would definitely grow up. Isn’t this a life of death! The greatest star in this land who can overcome the wall of transcendence with just his killing intent.!”
“…Isn't that so?.”
“What's wrong with that?!”
“This star is not that blessed star..”
Paeungchu laughed loudly..
The sound was so loud that the whole room rang..
“gibberish!”
thud!
When Pae Woong Chu touched the ground, a loud noise rang out..
“It is a definite blessing. But it's not a blessing for you! It's a blessing for me too!”
“what is that….”
“You won't know! Could it be that you were caught in the hands of the leader? How anxious I was..”
Mok Ri-won’s eyes grew as if they were about to tear..
“Sogyoju…?”
“Oops.”
Paewongchu was exaggeratedly surprised, with no sign of disappointment on his face..
“Did I leak information??”
The corners of Paeungchu’s mouth quirked up..
Mokriwon was able to realize that.
‘He!’
A transcendent demon who came out as an opponent of a non-military society and defeated himself in two rounds..
The main character that the Tao King and the Cabinet Lord are currently dealing with..
He was the leader of the small church..
“Well, think about that trivial story later.!”
Paeungchu was shot out..
The movement was so fast that even Mok Riwon almost missed it for a moment..
“Enjoy now! It's a struggle!”
Wow!!
Paeungchu's fist hit Mu Riwon's sword face..
*
The magic spell of the Demon Six Gates and the Ghost Heaven Gate.
Paeungchu was a man born into that kind of status..
The moment he first swung a sword as a child, everyone who saw him commented that way..
“You're a prodigy.”
It's a prodigy.
He is said to be born with the talent to be able to transcend the times..
When he was young, Pae Ungchu did not understand its meaning..
I had one feeling.
‘boring.’
it wasn't fun.
I knew Pae Ung Chu from the moment he picked up the sword..
Where should the sword flow, how should the opponent's vital points be stabbed, and how should the sword be blocked from striking?.
You have to wield the sword without knowing all that..
But how can that be fun?.
I wasn't happy at all about being praised as a prodigy or beating someone in a competition..
I just do it because I'm told to..
With that in mind, Pae Woong Chu just swung his sword, and his life changed when he was 7 years old..
“English…!”
It was the first time in my life that I hit someone with my fist..
My sword broke while I was fighting, and in the meantime, the opponent's sword flew towards my uvula, so I dodged the sword and slammed my fist into the opponent's uvula..
‘This is it.’
How should I express my feelings at that moment?.
A feeling of danger that even the slightest mistake could lead to death..
Disadvantages from distance, strength, and weapons.
Also, the sense of accomplishment that comes when you overcome it and achieve victory..
It was a shock to Pae Ung Chu..
It was a realization that could not be exchanged for anything, and it was like a treasure that awakened my dull life..
Paeungchu realized.
The reason life has been dull so far is because there is no stimulation..
Only the struggle along the path between life and death awakens the heart..
So the talent to create an overwhelming aspect is like a shackle..
After that day, Pae Ung Chu let go of his sword..
In order to thoroughly pursue life and death, he also delayed his rise to the top..
Rather than reigning as an overwhelming power, he gave up everything he was born with in order to achieve a narrow victory in a situation where defeat seemed likely..
That's why martial arts is fun.
Fighting is fun and blood is delicious..
Paeungchu maintained his status as a second-class master until exactly 12 years old, enjoying being in danger at every moment, and as autumn passed, he reached the second inflection point in his life..
“Wi Gwangcheon. They said it was the name of the new small religious leader..”
“What about Ogangak??”
“defeated. miserably.”
“You mean him? I remember it being pretty useful..”
“It's a thousand years old.”
He met the stars for the first time in his life.
The thing that miserably overthrew Wu Kang-yue, who was the head of the small religion at the time, and took his place, was a spirit of death whose origins I don't even know where it came from..
Paeungchu went to see him out of curiosity, and felt an intense pleasure he had never felt before in his life..
‘Die!’
If you fight, you will definitely die..
No matter how you attack him, even if you raise a sword, you can't defeat him..
I'll be thirsty in a matter of days.
If you protect your neck, your limbs will be pulled out and hit the floor..
But I wanted to fight.
It had to be that way..
Just imagining a life-and-death situation awakens all of your senses and fills you with excitement, but how thrilling would it be to actually be in a life-or-death situation?.
This means that even if you die at that moment, you won't have even an ounce of regret..
It was the moment when Pae Woong Chu began to hope for a rise to the top..
If it's a life-or-death situation, you'll do it in the best possible condition..
With all the efforts possible,.
‘At least it should reach the peak.’
With that mindset, Pae Woong Chu raised his level to the top level in three years, and that day, his dream was frustrated..
“what are you talking about?”
“Literally. Priest Dan Tianhua used his tricks to rob Su Jiaozhou of his immortality..”
“What is the church's policy??”
“silence. Since the religious leader has closed the temple, we can only protect our religion..”
It was hopeless.
It was so vain that all the time spent running with just the desire to compete with the angel of heaven ended up in vain..
So Pae Woong-chu went to Wi Guang-cheon..
However, he lost his natural ability and was no longer the same as before..
The monster that had ascended to the transcendental level and was weighing down all around with its magic power is gone, and there are only sick people living in alcohol poisoning..
The only thing that fills the field of view is an asshole who is in despair over losing just one star..
I no longer felt death in him..
I am convinced that even if I fight him, I will not be satisfied at all..
Pae Woong Chu, who lost his goal, fell into boredom again from that day on..
He expressed regret over the life-or-death fate that he would never experience again, and was left as a weakling, suffocating his anger through trivial struggles..
Afterwards, the moment Wi Guang-cheon declared that he would regain Cheon-sal-seong, Pae Woong-chu looked at him as a ruined man and thought of something else..
‘That's an asshole.’
If you don't have stars, you're an idiot who can't do anything..
Even if the stars return to that thing, you won't get any satisfaction..
So let’s fight the angel, not that guy..
Let's fight that doll that Dan Cheon-hwa made..
It's been 18 years since I decided to do that..
When Pae Woong-chu met Mo Li-won, he felt his heart pounding..
He was finally able to achieve his long-cherished wish..
A true life-and-death struggle..
