Chapter four
“poison?”
A familiar feeling runs down my spine. A bewildered voice comes from the Blood Demon's mouth..
A gap caused by an unexpected attack. I aimed for that moment.
Maybe this is the secret trick that will suffocate the enemy!
‘Manjunggeom!’
When I took out my sword, my right arm went back..
When I stepped with my left foot, my weight shifted forward..
The fist was also recovered..
A rapid transition was achieved.
Posture is posture, but luck has also changed..
Quack!
There was a crack in the ground I stepped on..
The ground sank under the crushing weight..
“Whoop!”
I poured out my strength as if to vent my anger over what had happened so far..
‘long essay……!’
In an instant, a memory from my childhood flashed by..
There wasn't much to recall from my memories of my past life..
When I was growing up, I gave correct teachings to Jeong Hwi-ryeon and went to the top..
But this time was a little different.
Of course, if you asked me if I was close, I couldn't answer yes..
Although we were often involved in Yeonhwagak affairs, it was a long way off..
It was rare to meet in person.
It wasn't until I got older that I started having meaningful conversations..
There wasn't much other interaction either..
Still, I respected it..
He was a veteran who dominated his era, although his later generations' achievements were so great that he was somewhat overlooked..
He is a person who reached the pinnacle as a military officer and a swordsman, and is the venerable leader of the four monks and a scholar..
I looked at him in awe..
comfortably!
I'm sorry to say this to Jang Moon-in, but although the death was shocking, it wasn't so much anger that one lost one's reason..
But that doesn't mean there are no feelings..
It was just sad.……
It was a little sad..
“rest!”
The fetus was lifted high, as if swinging a mace rather than a sword..
At the moment of coming down, I mobilized my recovered left hand and grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands..
‘It's over!’
The shriveled muscles widened..
The wing bones also moved accordingly..
The weight shifted forward and my back was bent..
As a large amount of air force was transmitted at high speed, pain was felt in the air vein. Proves that the pain is alive.
I love you so much!
One-star, two-star, Samsung, four-star, five-star!
It was a sword whose weight had doubled..
It was heavy like life and suffering..
My energy surged, gathered, and then exploded..
Curve drawn from the back.
It was curved from the side, but straight from the front..
Purple black light covered my vision..
Suddenly!
The sword, swirling with all kinds of power, cut into my shoulder, dividing the front in two, as if dividing the boundary between this world and the afterlife..
‘shit!’
A sigh flowed from Joo Seocheon’s mouth..
The sword was supposed to split the head, but the blood demon twisted its body and unfortunately cut off the shoulder and stopped at the pelvis..
‘still!’
This is a fatal injury.
Less than half of the area was cut off..
I had some hope.
Hahaha!
But hope turned to despair and expectations were shattered.
The Blood Demon exploded into a mad rage and kicked..
Powok!
“Ugh!”
Joo Seocheon stopped breathing and flew backwards..
It was close and the movement was large so there was a gap so I had no choice but to allow it..
“It's fun, it's fun! you turn me on!”
I could feel madness in that joyful voice..
Climbing the mountain does not mean that your demonic nature will disappear..
Its nature is violent and evil..
It was all about controlling it, not becoming good..
“Kkakakat!”
The blood demon laughed..
He laughed like it was fun even though part of his body fell off..
“Cough!”
After hitting the ground and bouncing several times, Joo Seocheon got up and vomited blood..
“Okay, I'll give you credit for pushing this body this far..
I'm serious. In honor of that, I will tell you something good..”
Angwang turned to the side..
It was aimed at the severed shoulder..
It wasn't cut all the way, but when I looked closely, the blood flow from the cut area was connected like a connected string..
The strange thing was that the blood flow was flowing in the air..
“Hwa- gyeong, which is said to be the ultimate definition of martial arts, is ultimately nothing more than a compilation of all that has been seen, heard, learned, and followed without forgetting..”
The blood demon approached Joo Seocheon with leisurely steps..
“You can call yourself a genius or something just because you know a little more about what already exists than others... … ha ha ha!”
It was an obvious laugh.
“If so, what is above it? To discover and create something beyond what is followed. Or, melting into one's life's concept, changing that concept into one's own, sublimating it, and materializing it.!”
The blood flowing from the shoulder began to quiver and slowly bloom, turning into a human face..
“……!”
Joo Seocheon trembled as if he was filled with trepidation..
The words of Nangong Weiwu and Wu Ilwen passed through my mind..
Each person's different words overlapped with the blood demon's cry..
“It is the basis of proving a person's life, and the identity of the state shown is the realization of the mind.!”
Quad deud deuk!
Blood poured down from my shoulder like a waterfall..
Even the shaking shoulders returned to their original positions..
The abnormal phenomenon did not stop there, and the blood flow increased as if the body was growing in size, and the person's shape became distorted like an evil spirit..
That scene was like something out of a legend, a power that easily surpassed the human realm..
“Look! This is the image of this blood demon! Jungwon, martial arts, world! As long as a person is made of blood, this I will live in that person endlessly.!”
Although the origin of blood religion has been distorted, it is ultimately blood..
Most magicians were like that, and energy and blood magicians were also the same..
As a result, what we arrived at was the source, the beginning..
In the end, that life came to be realized as one with blood..
”Kyahahahahaha!”
Puhwaaaak!
Woo Il-moon's body exploded..
Blood flowed from his eyes, nose, and mouth, and then spurted out from his entire body..
The blood stream changed into the shape of a sword or a spear and rushed out at terrifying speed, attacking Joo Seocheon..
Sigh! puff puff puff!
The bloody spear sword made a hole in the body..
Arms, legs and abdomen. I cut all over my body..
Still, I don't know if it was a last act of mercy, but he didn't just aim for the head. Instead, spears were stabbed all over her body..
“no!”
Someone let out a scream mixed with a scream..
However, the sound was meaningless as additional spears came out from behind and pierced the flesh and stuck into the floor..
Unlike the blood demons that were pierced by ten swords earlier, this time Joo Seocheon's body was full of weapons..
“Huh!”
In front of the astonished Zhuge Suran, the main forces of the Murim Alliance who arrived one after another could not help but sigh..
“Are we too late?!”
Unhak muttered sadly..
“No, rather, that face……!”
Ji Il-gwang was shocked when he saw the blood demon's body..
I heard the situation when I came, but I didn't know if it was true..
“……Ah, I became so happy without even realizing it, I was caught up in passion and lost my mind..”
The shape of the demon Rakshasa gradually decreased, but then dispersed like fog..
The bloody spears that cut into Joo Seocheon's body and ended his life also disappeared without a trace..
“Huh, that's a shame. I still had a lot to ask, and I couldn't really dig into what it was.……”
The blood demon licked his lips and turned his head to the side..
Attention turned to the newly appeared political faction members..
Unhak, Iljigwang, Honggo, and Hongjin trembled..
The power shown just now was so overwhelming that I couldn't move easily..
The moment I swallowed my saliva and was about to say what to do, I heard a voice that made even the Blood Demon doubt his ears..
“This is ridiculous..”
The audience held their breath..
“……?”
The blood demon's head turned slowly, very slowly..
“I couldn't understand a single word of the Murim Lord or Jang Mun-in's teachings, but I learned everything from the words of the crazy Great Madou... … Oh my, I can't even laugh……”
There, an unbelievable sight unfolded..
There must have been countless holes left in that body..
But for some reason it was all filled up..
If you see blood stains or holes in your clothes, it is clear that your body was pierced..
There is no conclusive trace.
There was no damage whatsoever, as if it had never been pierced in the first place..
“……?”
What comes to mind in the eerily red light of the eyes is a question..
And before I could express that question, Joo Seocheon blurred and appeared before my eyes..
The speed was clearly beyond human limits and was fast enough to barely catch even a blood demon..
“her?”
A voice that can't help but feel absurd.
“this.”
Whirling!
Joo Seocheon raised his right arm above his head and threw the sword in his hand upward..
“Clench your teeth.”
Boom!
The fist, signaling the beginning of a counterattack, struck the center of the blood demon's face with a heavy punching sound..
When I recognized the laughter mixed with madness and my vision turning red, I felt like a spear was stuck in my body and I couldn't move..
But even before I experienced that pain, the words of Nangong Weimu, Wu Ilmun, and Blood Demon were lingering in my head..
“I don't know what you see.
Even if you ask anyone other than me, the answer will be the same..”
“If people are inherently different, how can their enlightenment be the same?.”
“But if I had to ask, it would be myself..
Also, you should let go of excessive obsession and greed, but keep in mind not to let go of them all. Otherwise you will lose everything. At least you and I are not monks..”
“It may be self-respect, or it may be self-respect. What really matters is confidence in yourself..”
“If Hwagyeong is the ultimate in martial arts accumulated by martial people, then Hyeongyeong is a leap and adventure toward unknown territory, and at the same time, creation..”
“Proud, let the world know, and shine brightly about who you are. However, if you insist on that, you will never know, and if you become obsessed with even that, you will never be able to find an answer..”
Three of the Ten Chairs of the Supreme Heaven gave different answers..
Nangong Weiwu talked about how the next stage of the flower world, the visualization of the images needed for the world world, are different..
I also warned you that if you become too obsessed with the next level, it could cause problems for your heart..
‘Letting go of excessive attachments and greed, but not letting go of everything, meant that I had to be careful not to let the image of myself and my whole life that I had built up until now become Amitabha Buddha..’
Woo Il-moon, like Nangong Wei-mu, deliberately spoke out of the blue for fear of interfering with Ju Seo-cheon's unique concept and unique image..
The main points were self-respect, which is to enhance one's own dignity and have independence, and self-respect, which is one's own existence..
In addition, it indirectly explained the realization of imagery..
This was the reason why I immediately accepted my suspicions about Jashin before the Great War broke out..
‘If, indeed, the secret hidden in Plum Blossom Qigong is similar to that of Jashin Gong, he attained enlightenment... … If the thought has had a lasting impact on the image, it is quite possible to implement it..’
Perhaps this new art that has been passed down from generation to generation may have been created by a warrior who reached the state through similar circumstances..
If a master of Hyeongyeong, who succeeded in realizing imagery, captured enlightenment in secret, it would not be strange at all if he became a Shingong..
‘The reason that neither Lord Maeng nor Jang Mun-in gave specific instructions was because each person was different..’
Even if I had taught it, it was clear that it would only have added to the confusion and would not have been understood..
Even if Woo Il-mun is the same as the Samana and has similar upbringing and surroundings, it is impossible to completely understand what he has seen and felt throughout his life..
It's just a reference, but the experiences that went into that life were ultimately someone else's and not your own..
I was also worried that if I spoke directly, it would have some effect and I would never be able to climb..
It's not that they didn't teach you, it's that they didn't teach you..
I didn't understand any of this..
I thought about it several times, but I couldn't figure it out and the questions only increased..
Memories that I referenced but didn’t understand so I put them in a corner of my head..
That memory was activated by the blood demon..
Those words were too difficult.
The meaning was so deep that I couldn't understand it..
It was still just a rumor.
In the first place, the clue to becoming a genius among geniuses and having to follow luck couldn't have been that simple..
One blood demon explained casually..
Specifically, he directly informed me about the actual situation and the realization of the image..
From his perspective, it didn't matter how Joo Seocheon was affected or not..
But that statement had a greater impact than expected..
As Nangong Weimu and Wu Ilmun's advice came to mind at the same time, I realized the meaning of words that I had not yet understood..
Thunder struck my head..
I felt like I got hit in the back of the head with a hammer..
To say it was shocking was not enough..
The height that was so far away that it felt like the border between this world and the afterlife has been lowered, and the distance has narrowed..
When I came to my senses, the fog that appeared in front of me disappeared without a trace, and I was finally able to jump to the previous step..
‘ah!’
Elasticity flowing from the mouth.
I don't know if it really came out or if it was just in my mind..
However, I felt a thrill as the sensation passed through my whole body..
The airflow originating from the lower lip and the Seungjanghyeol (承康穴) was divided into two..
One stem went around the lip, branched off from the gums under the nose, and went up under both eyes..
And the remaining stem goes down the center of the front of the body, passes through the Danjunghyeol of the chest, the gummi (鳩尾) below, the navel, and the shrine (神閑), and then into the perineum (會陰穴) between the vagina and anus. went down.
At the same time, the qi originating from the intestinal cavity behind the anus turns around the back of the body, travels through the spine, passes through the yoyu acupoint above the tailbone and the rich acupoint located at the end of the cervical spine, and eventually reaches the top of the head, the Baekhoe acupoint. It reached the cerebellum and went up to the Eungyohyeol (隱交穴) of the gums..
Just before it goes up to the cervical vertebrae, a small branch protrudes and splits again on both sides, reaching the shoulder blade and then meeting at the dodo, the thoracic vertebra between the collarbones..
The path that comes down from the lower lip to the front of the body and touches the perineum is the Immaek (任脈), and the path that goes up the spine from behind the anus and passes Baekhoe is the Dokmaek (督脈)..
Through the Imdok vein, the Sojucheon and Daejucheon arose in an instant..
I didn't know how long it took or when it ended..
The stream of water that washed over the meridians was thick and fast like a waterfall, increasing its speed and power several times..
In Taoism, it is said that the human body is a microcosm and that the universe resides in that body..
I felt like I could vaguely understand what that meant..
There is a universe of one's own, a collection of unique concepts, thoughts, and martial arts, and bringing it out into the world is the realization of imagery..
That stage and area are called prefectures..
“Phew……”
Joo Seocheon woke up from his thoughts..
I established, absorbed, and listed the newly acquired ‘something’ in my mind..
The renewed thoughts were reflected in the eyes, and there was a subtle sagacity..
“Confucius……?”
Zhuge Suran, whose expression did not change no matter what happened, also blinked as if he could not believe it..
The main forces of the Murim Alliance next to him also looked dumbfounded..
“I'm fine, so you don't have to worry..”
Joo Seocheon just rolled his eyes to show his companions that nothing was wrong, then looked straight ahead again..
A blood demon who fell after being hit with a fist raised his body, with more than half of its bones remaining, using the Four Eumsang as a staff..
The blood demon stayed still without saying anything, but moved its jaw when someone made a sound..
“I can't believe it..”
It was pure admiration..
There was disbelief and astonishment in his voice..
“Are you really in agreement??”
The title has changed.
I could sense respect in that tone, even if it was only a little bit..
Instead, there was doubt in his voice..
“It is impossible to form an image at that age..
Even if you are enlightened, you cannot ascend to the prefecture..”
“You are the one who said it was about discovering and creating something, blood demon. This kind of thing happens.”
“nonsense.”
Unusually, there was no ease in his voice..
“In order to make the image concrete, not only martial arts but also one's whole life must be incorporated. In other words, you've experienced the whole of life when you're only 20? Does that make physical sense??”
It's a more physical, simple and clear story..
Even if he was one of the greatest geniuses of all time, there was no way he would have had enough experience to discuss life..
Also, personality formation begins in infancy, so not even 20 years later..
“The life of a warrior is short and long..”
Taat!
Joo Seocheon bent and unfolded his body like a bow..
Choi Sang-seung’s application method of Gyeongsinbeop was Gungsin Tanyeong..
The speed at which it was shot while bouncing off the ground was incredibly fast..
“Hut!”
The blood demon took a breath and quickly lifted up the saeumjang..
Just before the sword cuts off his neck, he narrowly blocks it..
Kwaaang!
The sound was different from before..
It wasn't a joke, it was a burst of drinking..
The floor sank into a hemisphere shape..
The shock wave even created a gust of wind that blew pebbles around..
“Is it really true?!”
The blood demon was astonished by the power that made his flesh tremble..
“I've thought about it before, but there's a lot to say..”
Joo Seocheon spoke in a voice as cold as ice..
Physical capabilities have increased complexly, including commands from the brain to the muscles, reaction speed, strength, and speed..
Jaha Gong, who is the source of strength, has also reached the Twelve Stars, or Daesung, and other martial arts have also reached their limit..
What I gained after leaping to the next level was not just visualization..
Mobility, etc., has also surpassed human limits..
“the week… … Talking with your mouth is over..”
I was going to express it as a snout, but I quickly changed it when I remembered that the body is Jang Mun-in..
“Going, Blood Demon.”
Cherrrr.
When the sound field fell like an aspen tree, the attached metal rings moved and made a friction sound..
The source is not a blood demon..
It was an invisible energy flowing from the sword facing the four sound fields..
After passing the stage of shaping, the river vibrated quietly without even its form being interfered with..
At first glance, it appears that the purple color remained, but that color was quickly buried after a while..
“first meal.”
He spat out the herbivorous name as if telling the enemy to hear it..
The blood demon was startled and quickly retreated, drawing a blood-red haze from under his feet to create a barrier..
It wasn't just one layer, it was four layers..
“Jaha!”
Grumble!
As usual, there was a thunderous roar..
Hum!
The intangible force wrapped around the sword body and spun fiercely..
“Gaebyeok!”
As he swung his sword with all his might, intangible strength poured out..
Unlike before, the glamor is gone, but the substance is different..
It became harder, stretched, and fiercer..
The Jaha Geomgyeol that had been shown by Geomseon during his lifetime unfolded before his eyes and attacked Hyeolma..
Kwaaang!
“Ughhh!”
It was truly a long struggle..
A scream came from the blood demon's mouth..
The straight sword strike created a hole in the four-layer membrane..
This is an attack that should have been blocked in the first place..
However, he was exhausted from the long fierce battle with the swordsman..
Above all, it was before I could even get used to my new body..
It was impossible to block Dongsu's attack, which was not even a sewer..
Hehehe!
And finally, a crack appeared in the Saeumjang, which had been a decisive factor in the Hyeongyo religion's invasion of the central plains..
The crack that leaked out little by little could not withstand the pressure of the sword steel and eventually split into several branches and shattered..
“no!”
Puuk!
The sword that passed through the fragments seemed to be heading towards the heart, but changed direction on the way and stabbed the dantian..
“……!”
Blood flowed from the blood demon's mouth..
Unlike all the blood seen so far, which seemed like a strange spell, this time it was bleeding from a wound..
Wiggle wiggle.
My abs moved like bugs..
The energy and energy inside it tried to exert strength somehow, but they could not..
“energy and blood.”
Joo Seocheon whispered..
“Was that your body??”
