The Thousand-Slayer Swords Association-Episode 178
EP.178 Chapter 18 - Yunnan, Battle of Blood Demons (1)
* * *
From Wuhan to the southwest, Mu Liyuan set off on a journey to Yunnan with Mile Shuk..
Since it was a trip with the parents who raised them, it would have been expected that they would have been filled with sentiments and the elegance of the process, but unfortunately, the two did not have that kind of leisure..
It was none other than a search for traces of Hyeolcheongyo..
For Mok Ri-won, it was a quest to find the secret of my origins, the star and my birth..
There is no choice but to be immersed in a serious atmosphere..
“You have arrived.”
As soon as Mile Seok spoke, Mok Riwon’s steps stopped..
When Mokriwon raises his head, what he sees is none other than a huge temple that has been burned and stained black..
It was the place where Hyeolcheongyo once built its nest..
“This place….”
“Yes, it's a bloody battle..”
Mok Riwon’s expression became blurred..
The burnt-out building looks as if it could not withstand the ravages of time and has completely rotted away, ready to collapse at any moment..
It can be said that it is natural since it was a place that collapsed 18 years ago..
“Let's go.”
Miles walked ahead..
Mok Riwon followed behind and listened to Mile Seok’s story..
Every moment he delved into the depths of the temple, Mile Seok looked back on the distant past and spoke in a voice full of sentiment..
“That day was the day when the front line was pierced all at once. We thought that the war should not prolong any longer, so we planned to engage in bloody warfare. Numerous people's attention was attracted, and a death squad of about 50 people took advantage of the opportunity to enter the blood demon battle..”
What you see at the entrance of the pavilion is black, hardened blood stuck here and there. Time has even taken away the scent from that blood..
“The first thing I encountered was Jiangshi. That is also a very terrible jiangshi. That day, King Kwon remained here alone and tied the feet of the strongmen..”
Was it really the blood of a Jiangshi?.
Mok Riwon continued walking..
What followed was a narrow hallway with rooms on both sides..
“This was the passage through which assassins from the Hyeolcheongyo Church came in from all over, stabbing with their swords. Of the fifty death squads, the remaining forty-nine, thirty of them, faced the assassins here, and the ones who commanded them were Jin King Zhuge Byeok, Salseong Goatso, and Poison King Dang Mu-gyeong..”
After passing through the hallway, there is another huge space..
“All of the Blood Demon's closest associates were here. Among the remaining members to catch the blood demon, everyone except the older brother tied their feet. In the end, my brother went to Daejeon alone..”
Daejeon was reached again through space..
“This is where my brother cut off the head of Dan Cheonhwa, the Blood Demon..”
Mokriwon quietly looked at Daejeon..
Every single space I had ever seen had traces of something truly miserable. It was a trace of a painful history that time could not erase..
But when I look at the traces of this place, even those traces don't even reach my toes..
“Did this much blood flow?.”
“Blood Demon's martial arts was like that. I used a form of martial arts that purifies the blood through qigong and then shoots it out. It is said that at the last moment, all of the innate energy was extracted and used to exceed the limit of blood that can come out of a human body..”
The entire floor of the space is black.
It wasn't just a burn mark, it was all black, hardened blood..
Is the problem that the Daejeon is tightly closed, or is the blood of the Blood Demon special?.
At least here, the scent of blood that would make a thousand-year-old growl still lingered..
Mokriwon’s gaze surveyed the entire space..
The battle that took place here can be inferred through the shape of blood splattered and hardened, and the footprints that remain vaguely on top of the density and hardened blood..
‘Master, you had a hard time..’
The blood demon didn't show much movement..
Since the form of martial arts is the form, he would have tried to keep the same position..
In contrast, Mok Seon-oh appears to be struggling, constantly moving his feet..
So it would have arrived in the end. So the blood death is over..
What is the level of bloodshed?.
It was barely a trace so I couldn't tell much, but there was something I realized..
‘It's so far away.’
Even though it was a trace from 18 years ago, the level of Mokseono was far beyond that of Mokriwon..
Even though they used the same martial arts and the same deep attack, it felt like they were completely different martial arts..
it was a wonder.
It was also a whitish signpost that showed the path that the Shenglian Goddess should follow..
At that moment, Mok Ri-won forgot everything else and began to focus on chasing Mok Seon-o's traces..
It was an act close to enlightenment..
Even the hardened blood remaining in various parts of the space, the destroyed interior, and sword marks somewhere were all materials that were not to be discarded, so even my breathing had stopped before I knew it..
Mok Seon-oh's sword dance is drawn more and more clearly as the sword stroke, footwork, and all of them come together..
The pitted floor must have been caused by the Blood Demon's blood energy..
good night. The blood demon's attack patterns are starting to come into view..
‘The five steps of one step forward, three steps back, and the Five Stars Seven Swords were revealed here. What’s next for meal 3? Yes, after that, the fourth meal continued again..’
Mok Seon-oh only used moves that cut down each individual's internal attack power to nothing, and only used them to attack..
However, I did not feel any decrease in momentum..
No, on the contrary, it started to gain momentum..
“…ah!”
Mokriwon let out an exclamation..
‘It's not like I wasted my energy.!’
All previous moves were the cornerstone for one move to follow..
The herbivores fired into the air were a preliminary process to create a certain flow..
At that moment, Mok Ri-won was able to vaguely realize how the 6th and 7th types of Yooseong Chilgeom were operated..
“Girl king! for a moment….”
It was a waste even for a moment. Mok Ri-won wanted to immediately sit cross-legged and indulge in meditation in order to recover as much as possible from his lost enlightenment..
Mile Seok said with a laugh..
“Yes, do it.”
“thank you!”
Mo Ri-won immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes..
Immediately, I entered a trance state..
Just before falling into despair, the last thing Mok Ri-won heard was 'What a monster...' 'It was Milesuk's absent-minded voice..
*
Currently, Mokriwon's Seongryun Shinkong was only at 6 stars..
He had reached this level through steady progress, but for the first time in Mok Riwon's life, something that could be called a 'wall' had appeared before his eyes..
Of course, even that wall was not of a very high standard for Mokriwon..
A wall you can break through in no time if you give yourself a little more time. So I had decided to take it slow..
But Mokriwon changed his plan..
‘can pierce.’
Traces of Mok Seon-oh, a fragment of what Seongnyeon Shingong and Yooseong Chil-geom can accomplish who have reached transcendence..
Is there any need to delay achieving it when it is right in front of us?.
Naegong was released from Mokriwon’s Danjeon..
The inner energy that filled the blood vessels of his entire body began to run furiously along his overturned blood vessels..
The ultimate body is awakened. The stars of heaven cry together.
Angry inner strength welcomes opportunities for growth.
Mok Riwon took control of them..
‘It's not your place to step forward..’
The path leading to Shengryun was a thousand miles away from brutality..
‘Rebirth leads to harmony, circulation, birth and extinction..’
To gaze ceaselessly at the rising and setting of the stars, and their immortal forms..
When operating Seongryeon, brutality was something that should never be said..
‘All you need is.’
Perseverance, composure, and understanding.
The arrogance of the star, which continues the flow without looking at human will, was the key to completing Seongryun..
Mo Ri-won looked at the image, controlling the inner energy running over the blood path even more strongly..
Now only six stars were rising above it. And where the seventh star sat, a feeble light was stretching out..
‘There it is.’
Let's connect the road to that place, complete that star and add new rules to this flow..
Mokriwon’s concentration has become indescribably deep..
An image resembling a black night sky, and a new star path slowly began to open above it..
Because it is a martial art that connects stars and brightens the world, it is called Seongnyeonshingong).
As the name suggests, the more the star path was pierced, the more Mokriwon felt the size of his inner energy increasing..
‘roll it.’
Let's add this increased strength to the star path and reach the seventh star..
Mokriwon’s intentions soon bore fruit..
‘reached.’
Suddenly, Mokriwon’s eyes opened..
A bright starlight appeared in my open eyes for a moment and then disappeared..
Meanwhile, the silent energy waves that were shaking around him engulfed everything around him..
“Oh my, look at this guy.?”
Mile Seok said with a laugh..
It was only then that Mok Ri-won recovered the energy wave with a sigh..
“ah! sorry….”
“It has been done. It's okay if there was an achievement.”
“There was!”
Mo Riwon said in a very excited voice..
“The Holy Lotus has reached 7 stars! Now just go up one more step…!”
“Uh huh.”
Mile seats are perfect! And hit Mokriwon’s Takbam..
Mok Ri-won screamed without realizing it..
“evil!”
“Transcendence is not something that can be reached through haste. Boy, if you got there so quickly, you should learn to take it easy now..”
Mok Riwon became embarrassed and scratched the back of his head as he clicked his tongue..
Mile Seok sighed, clicked his tongue, then hardened his expression and said:.
“Then can I go now??”
“I'm going….”
“Didn't I tell you? Are you so crazy about achievement that you have forgotten the purpose of coming here??”
Standing tall, Mok Riwon’s body stopped..
Only then did Mok Riwon recall the fact he had forgotten..
‘Yeah, that's why I came here….’
It was to dig into the source of the celestial nature..
Mokriwon's gaze was directed to the half-collapsed side gate at the end of Daejeon..
According to what I heard from Mile-seok, that is where the ceremonial altar is located..
Dry needles went down the back of Mok Riwon’s neck..
“Then let's go in..”
mileseok said.
Mo Liwon calmed his excitement, slapped his cheek, and followed Mile Seok into the room..
And then, startled, I covered my nose at the strong scent of blood wafting from inside..
My eyes got so big they felt like they were going to tear apart..
“What the hell is this….”
“Yeah, I knew it would be like this..”
Mile-seok’s expression was distorted like a murderous murderer..
“No one knew what that damn altar was, so I left this place unattended. It was because he thought he shouldn't be messed with..”
Mok Riwon’s breathing became a little heavier..
The blood-scented nature began to rage even more violently..
“Whatever it was, I should have figured it out. If that were the case, this wouldn't have happened..”
Grumbling, Miles clenched his fists..
Even the day before yesterday, Mok Riwon stared blankly at the altar..
Red. The blood pooling around the altar was red..
It is clear that no one has visited this place since that day 18 years ago, but only the blood here has not hardened and has maintained the same color as that day..
What the hell is going on?.
It was a moment when Mokriwon thought about it..
“Get out of the way.”
“Well, can I touch it??”
“Don't you feel it??”
Mok Riwon’s eyes narrowed..
Mile Seok sighed and said..
“There’s no way the blood here is the blood of that day..”
After saying that, Mileseok passed Mokriwon and ran outside..
Immediately after.
Wow!―!
There was a binge of drinking..
Mok Ri-won was startled and followed him outside..
and found.
“I wonder what tricks the Mine guy is going to use after coming all the way to Ye?.”
“the poor. transcendence. You are the king of gals.”
was an old man.
An old man who seemed older than Mileseok was rubbing his fists with Mileseok..
His long clothes were all black, his body was stocky and his face was ugly. He was full of scars, as if he had been hacked to pieces..
He was carrying the corpse of a man on his back..
Only then did Mokriwon realize.
‘blood on the altar….’
It's the blood that the old man received.
