Thing!
The guest house was ruined.
There was a mess and an explosion.
From the End Demon and Seol-Hwi, it was the eruption from the flames and the aftermath of using internal energy for the two Supreme Demons.
Ching!
Occasionally, there was damage done to the surroundings from that, and the phenomenon in which both of them raised the limit against each other caused only destruction.
“Kuak!”
“Ach!”
But unfortunately, they could not cross over the wall.
Seol-Hwi was burning down his innate energy and fought by mobilizing all the techniques of ice, flame, and even Taiji energy, but the more he clashed the more he was pushed into defense.
It had been just half a year since he hit the Supreme Demon level. On the other hand, the End Demon had been at it for a long time.
<Thrift Wind Sword is being used>
Already a third time, Seol-Hwi used it.
“This you! That will not work on me anymore!”
In response to the End Demon shouting to affirm it, he stepped back and let the wind destroy the place.
Flash!
And at the number of times the body of Seol-Hwi moved, he slashed exactly five times at Seol-Hwi.
Pik!
What stretched out from the sword was an aura as thin as a thread. This was different from what he had shown before.
Destroying Energy—
The slash was as thin as thread, and each one contained the energy to extinguish the other.
Shhhh
And among the dozens of strong gusts of wind, the energy shot was aimed at the middle, not being affected by the wind. This was because it had energy around it to maintain it.
Pac!
One of Seol-Hwi’s arms was cut off and fell off with a brief groan.
“Kuak!”
Seol-Hwi grabbed the cut off arm.
“Huh, I guess you cannot use martial arts any more?”
The End Demon smiled, looking at his hand which had held his sword falling off. He knew that his opponent had endured it all because of this weapon. Since the sword was down, he will no longer be able to resist.
“So what if I cannot use it?”
Before Seol-Hwi stopped talking, Martial Supreme Peak Wind God was used with the other arm.
“…!”
The End Demon was a bit shocked at this unexpected reaction and tried to dodge it.
Papat!
In response, Seol-Hwi poured all his remaining internal energy into it and used the footwork.
“Again!”
In response the End Demon also responded with the same martial arts.
Chung!
A bloody fight happened, and then it came to a sudden end. Seol-Hwi, whose body was a mess both inside and out, could not stand it and bounced back.
Thud! Bang!
“Kuak!”
Seol-Hwi collapsed to the ground. His entire body was covered in wounds, and half of it had horrible burns on it.
Step
The End Demon walked slowly.
Kuak!
When Seol-Hwi got up by chuckling, the End Demon squatted to meet his eyes.
“I expected a lot from the one who held the legacy of the Earth Demon… looking at this, I didn’t have to come here at all.”
Sarcasm.
Even though the battle they had was fierce, he devalued Seol-Hwi now.
“…But you are one I have been looking for.”
Seol-Hwi said with a smile,
“Why me?”
“Absolute Supreme Demonic Martial Arts. It wouldn’t have been easy to learn it. So, you must have been impatient that the Earth Demon or I managed to learn it… getting anxious?”
“…!”
The End Demon’s face went stiff.
Seol-Hwi raised his head to him and smiled.
“How do I know? I can see it. The fact that you didn’t learn the best martial arts out there in the sect. Day and night, only the flames of yours are running rampant. If you don’t see it, it must mean you are stupid. In such a situation, if someone were to use something you didn’t learn, your pride wouldn’t…”
Clench!
“Kuak!”
Seol-Hwi screamed as the End Demon stabbed him in the thigh.
And that wasn’t all.
Wheik
“Kuaak!”
And he pushed flame qi through the sword. As the ring of flames spread into the wounds, Seol-Hwi almost lost consciousness due to it.
Kwak!
Nevertheless, the End Demon grabbed Seol-Hwi by the hair and made eye contact.
“…Talk like that and I give you more pain than anyone can.”
Crack!
Seol-Hwi bit his teeth like he was angry at it.
“Kuaaak!”
Wheik!
Seol-Hwi screamed more as the flame continued to move, grilling the flesh.
“Ha… should I tell you a fun fact?”
The face was messed up in pain, and the flames were running through his veins.
In the meantime, Seol-Hwi still spoke with a smile.
“How much of the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts do you think I learned?”
“What?”
The End Demon’s eyes widened at this, and a chill ran down his neck.
“Huh! What, you mean you mastered the other attributes too?”
“G-got used to it.”
“Insane bastard. You do not learn…”
“The Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts, fire. When one reaches Supreme Demon, a new technique which burns the flow of energy from the upper dantian and the center of the palm moves in and burns the energy which isn’t in the center. Between the heaven and earth there is nothing which is stronger than burning out the innate energy…”
“…!!!!”
The End Demon’s eyes widened. That could be it, because Seol-Hwi was really giving out the information in the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts book.
“H-how do…?”
“All thanks to you.”
Clench
Seol-Hwi struggled to lift the other arm, his arm which had been roasted in flame and could not move properly.
“What. This?”
The End Demon frowned at him, and he said,
“This is a reward for what I owe you. I will return the lives of my subordinates with the best revenge I can in this life and include the punishment for belittling them.”
Seol-Hwi laughed. As soon as he finished, his hands turned red.
“Huh?”
Seeing that, the End Demon moved his sword in fear.
Puak!
He thrust the sword into the stomach of Seol-Hwi.
Kuak
Seol-Hwi groaned at it. However, his eyes were looking at the skill activation.
*Peak Four Demonic Martial Arts (Fire) Table [Final stage]* [Great Annihilation and Destroying Arts]: (After touching the blood points) ↓A or B
Should this be called luck?
The special skill which was a skill that could be activated when he gave up his life?
Of course this was terrifying too.
“Late. You should have aimed for the throat.”
Seol-Hwi spoke with confidence and the special skill got used.
<Great Annihilation and Destroying Arts is being used.>
Jkjkjjk
The flame burned with an eerie cry. It moved like a circle of fire not on the ground but in the air. And this circled around Seol-Hwi.
“Ah…”
The End Demon raised his head as he looked at the flames and screamed in fear.
“Everyone run!”
Pat!
As soon as the cry came, Yupae and Hyang Gae moved right then. The End Demon took off without looking back.
However, this was an action which made sense only before this flame got created. This technique, which was activated, caused a huge amplification on the ground.
Gugugugung!
It rose to numerous heights, and before they could escape, the flames were surrounding them.
Goooo!
And it exploded.
Fire, which annihilated everything, the peak power was demonstrated.
<You have eight lives remaining.>
Seol-Hwi was in darkness. He lost his life in the flame, and at the same time these familiar words greeted him.
It was a familiar phrase, but he was not calm like in the past. He wanted revenge, and the death of his people would not leave his mind.
Seo Ryeong gave me a present and then she left.
At least when he saw the number of lives, the thought of Seo Ryeong came to his mind.
Barely being sane—
Our first day of dating—
That time was short and he resented it. A few blinks—
It was all the time he got.
Yupae… I couldn’t kill him.
Seol-Hwi recalled it. It was not just him who was caught in the flame, it was Yupae and Hyang Gae.
However, the fact that there was no change in the number of lives meant he died before they did.
■95th Heavenly Year. Chapter 2-1. Three Lives presented by the Earth Demon. □98th Heavenly Year. Last day of 7th month. □98th Heavenly Year. Self Story_Fateful day.
And the records of the time appeared without fail.
Seeing that, Seol-Hwi chose the second one.
<You would like to move to the 98th Heavenly Year, last day of 7th month?>
He accepted it right away and soon felt that a familiar sight came up.
“You fucking bastard!!!!”
Insults right away, he was enraged.
There was no joy from learning the martial arts before death.
It was still vivid. The shock and pain he experienced was still in his mind, the death of his subordinates, and the sight of them brutally being killed and turned into corpses right in front of his eyes.
Despite being through countless past lives, this felt worse to him.
“Certainly… I will get my revenge.”
A strong will shone in Seol-Hwi’s eyes.
In any case, he had to kill the First Disciple. He had to see the death of the End Demon and see him crying.
Seol-Hwi continued to think of it until the morning.
Seol-Hwi’s time passed no differently until he entered the Self Story.
He bought the pill, sought after Songhwa, and rejected the offer from Yupae. But there were some things he didn’t take lightly
[Geum Man-jung] “Ah, what an amazing piece of information I got. It is news that there are various strange treasures hidden inside the Southern and Northern lands. This is a chance given by the heavens. As long as you have the amount, I will definitely get it for you.”
The reason why he was collecting money was for such things. It was to buy the treasure which Geum Man-jung had suggested.
Because of this, Seol-Hwi was convinced that he had to return to this point.
<Which one would you like to buy?> [Fist] Phantom Hand Armor 1 million G [Sword] Double Edged Sword 1 million G [Blade] Celestial Monster Blade 1 million G [Spear] Blood Demon Spear 1 million G [Bow] Ghost Demon Bow 1 million G [Armor] Yin Yang Twin Dragon Armor 1 million G [Hand Fan] Sun Folding Fan 1 million G
Seol-Hwi checked to see if he had money in the toolbox.
<Are you sure you want to buy the Double Edged Sword? It costs 1 million G>
He chose it.
<You have purchased the Double Edged Sword.>
As soon as he said it, the phrase popped up.
[Geum Man-jung] “I am shocked you had the money to buy this! I assure you this will be the best choice in this life.”
The bastard uttered the odd words of “this life” and then vanished.
“What is this…”
Seol-Hwi opened the toolbox. Even at first glance, this sword seemed like a rare one.
He took the sword from the toolbox.
Cuk
It felt so natural in his hand.
“Something is…”
It was eight inches long, it was a bit short to be called a great sword, and four different colors were visible on the hilt of the sword.
Srng
He drew it out and the appearance was normal, nothing too special.
“This costs one million… Uh!?”
But in the middle he saw something shining. And just in case he decided to open the toolbox.
<All special skills have been reduced.>
This phrase came to his mind. It was a message which he was not sure how to interpret it.
