I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy

Episode 399 Side Story 2: Battle of Heavenly Demon (8)

“What have you done?”

For the first time, astonishment appeared in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes, which were filled with only anger.

“Intention is not invincible.”

Baek Woo-jin turned his wrist and looked down at the Cheonma.

“If you can create a shield with your will, it is only natural to build a spear knife to pierce that shield.”

“Whoop!”

The Heavenly Demon stood up, letting out a breath as heavy as a piece of iron.

“You looked ugly.”

He straightened his back and closed his eyes. Seeing how he erased his embarrassment in an instant, he wasn’t a transcendental person for nothing.

“Did you break through my thoughts by transforming the shape of the thoughts?”

When he nodded, the Heavenly Demon’s eyes cooled down as if they were covered in ice.

“Starting now. I will fight you with all my might from now on. “Your swordsmanship and thoughts no longer reach me.”

“Isn’t this a line that a third-rate villain would say?”

Baek Woo-jin snorted and threw his sword. A sword strike filled with the skill of the ten thousand swords swept across the front lines.

Quaaaaa!

The Heavenly Demon did not move even as he saw the powerful sword strike that crushed everything. He just stood there as if he had given up on everything.

“uh?”

The sword strike, which seemed like it would split the Heavenly Demon’s head at any moment, slowed down right in front of his nose and instantly melted like snow touched by the spring breeze.

“This….”

Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes.

‘Space… Is it space?’

The Heavenly Demon did not even touch the sword. What his thoughts touched was space. It seemed as if he had used his powerful will to create an absolute barrier that no attack could reach.

Absolutely!

Black lightning was wrapped around the blade of Seolyeonggeom and a lightning bolt was launched.

Even Lightning Island, where the powerful brain energy was concentrated, could not reach the Heavenly Demon and slowed down as if the stop button had been pressed.

“It is the idea of soullessness.”

The Heavenly Demon swept up his scattered hair. Arsenic bloomed around his mouth.

“It’s different than before. “No matter what you do, your martial spirit will not be pierced.”

“Because I am soulless….”

Baek Woo-jin took a sip of his appetite while examining the Cheonma’s intentions.

‘There was reason to be confident.’

The thought of being soulless slows down all attacks coming towards the Heavenly Demon. The lightning island that was launched a little while ago also reached the martial spirit and aged and disappeared.

There was a level of tenacity and strength that was different from the previous defense where I had built up my thoughts without any care.

‘If I have a heart and a sword, the Heavenly Demon has a martial soul. however….’

Heart Sword’s attack and Martial Spirit is a defense-specific ability, but strangely it felt similar. Like twins born in the same litter.

“Unless you can pierce the martial spirit, you have no chance of victory.”

Demonic energy flames burned throughout the Heavenly Demon’s entire body. The firepower was so severe that it burned down the river.

“I will compete with human radish as you wish.”

As soon as the lingering effect of those words disappeared, the Heavenly Demon rushed forward. No, it’s not even a rush.

The moment it disappeared from his sight, it appeared on the left. It was not a movement, but an appearance.

Whoa!

The Heavenly Demon stretched out his fist. The power of extreme pleasure. His fists seemed to expand like the fists of a giant.

Kwaaaaang!

He raised his sword face toward the pounding fist. His shoulders automatically shrank from the violent shock.

‘Strong.’

It is a force that would kill even an absolute person. However, it is a much lower level of authority than martial arts, which does not even allow swords.

Chiiing!

He blocked the second flying fist with the back of his left hand and then struck down his sword. It is a Muryeong cham that contains the weight of Taesan on a white blade.

Wow!

Even the Muryeong Cham, which was powerful enough to crush the surroundings, could not pierce the martial spirit of the Heavenly Demon. It slowed down like a slug and cut through the empty air.

“It’s nonsense.”

The Heavenly Demon ignored his defenses and the demonic spirit lashed out with a young fist. The guy’s fist rotated counterclockwise, causing a huge explosion.

Kiiiiing!

He advanced toward Gwangho Island, dispersing the power of the Heavenly Demon.

Quagwagwagwang!

We had countless battles with Cheonma.

After piercing through its demonic energy and power, I struck with the sword, but the martial spirit was not pierced even once. It was powerful enough to be confident that it was an absolute defense.

Gooooooo.

Cheonma brought both hands together and placed them in front of the solar plexus. With the back of his right hand raised and the back of his left hand lowered, it looked like a dragon’s head.

“Manmagung.”

When he raised his right hand, black flame burning with demonic energy erupted from the space where his hands overlapped. It was truly the fire of a dragon.

“Extremely.”

Baek Woo-jin placed the Seolyoung sword. He used the Bukmyeong Shingong to the extreme and fired the Iggyeogeom Geukri.

Quaaaaa!

The son-in-law was reduced to ashes due to the competition between Geukri, burning with the aura of Rasadum, and Ten Thousand Demon Palace, burning with demonic energy.

“Not yet.”

Baek Woo-jin stood behind Geuk-ri, who was pushing the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, and thrust out his right fist containing a black wave. It is Hwangungyeok of Suwangmu.

Squeaky!

The martial arts, which were a combination of Geukri and Hwangungyeok, pierced the Ten Thousand Demon Palace and rushed toward the Heavenly Demon.

“no use.”

The Heavenly Demon laughed. Even the martial arts that annihilated everything in front could not pierce its martial spirit and melted away like smoke.

“I see.”

The Heavenly Demon is not the only one smiling. Baek Woo-jin also smiled.

‘I understand now.’

The transcendent is not omnipotent. You can easily defeat a few Absolutes with just basic attack and defense, but fighting with other Transcendents is not easy.

There are limits to each person’s thoughts, and they must be divided appropriately into attack and defense.

‘He put a lot of thought into martial arts.’

Despite its name, Cheonma put a lot of effort into its defensive ability, martial spirit, so its intention to attack was relatively weak.

‘There…’

Cheonma had a weakness. It’s a bigger weakness than putting a lot of thought into martial arts.

“That defense you are confident in. “I’ll break it now.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded his head, his eyes shining.

“Your neck will be broken first.”

“Let’s give it a try.”

He kicked the ground and rushed towards Cheonma.

Coooooo!

He united his thoughts and aura as one and slashed his sword towards the Heavenly Demon’s head. As expected, the martial spirit was activated and the blade did not move at all.

‘A little more!’

While harmonizing the intention to cut down with the Aura of Lasadum, he deployed the group he had accumulated through actual combat experience.

Weeeeeee!

The Lasadum aura on the blade of the Seolyeonggeom began to burn brightly as if it had been oiled.

‘It’s better.’

It is also meaningful to destroy the transcendental’s thought ability without using the Mind Sword.

If you can pierce the martial spirit of the Heavenly Demon with your sword skills, you will be able to achieve great achievement.

bang! Quagwagwagwang!

Baek Woo-jin and Cheonma clashed with each other at close range and then took five steps back.

As if he were not tired, the power of the Heavenly Demon surges in like a tidal wave. After dodging the destructive blow he swung, he fired a lightning bolt.

Wooooow!

The distance between the sword strike and the Heavenly Demon, which had never narrowed, has decreased, albeit slightly.

“Mmm!”

A moan escaped the Cheonma’s mouth as she noticed that small difference.

Wooooow!

He tilted his sword to the left and drew horizontally. Yam’s blow rushed towards the Heavenly Demon along with a sound that tore through space.

Yiiiiing!

The sword strike, rotating like a sawtooth, disappeared only after cutting through about half of the martial spirit’s range.

“What are you doing now…”

The Heavenly Demon’s deeply eroded eyes were distorted. The guy didn’t seem to believe that the gap between martial spirits was widening.

‘I told you. ‘The intention is not invincible.’

By wrapping the intention that should have been used in the mind sword around the Seolyeonggeom and thinking only about attacking, he was able to cut down even the almost invincible martial spirit.

‘Even if you become a transcendent, nothing changes.’

In order to win, you have to keep thinking, training, and fighting. There is no such thing as invincibility in this world.

“Get back!”

“Nope?”

Baek Woo-jin covered Seolyeonggeom with his sharpened blade of intention and struck a blow.

Ugh!

The fierce fire burning on the blade began to swirl in a spiral and tear apart the Heavenly Demon’s martial soul.

“this guy!”

The Heavenly Demon hurled a heavy fist. He threw the guy’s fist at his left shoulder and deflected it with his sword. It was a joint defense between Suwangmu Cheolpae and Gwangho Island.

Quaaaang!

The Heavenly Demon constantly moved and poured out terrifying fists to escape the crisis that could pierce the martial spirit.

His first fist tore through the ground, and his second fist tore through the sky.

Wooooow!

Baek Woo-jin blocked all the furious attacks and approached Cheonma one step at a time. The aura that arose from the Seolyeonggeom sword play produced increasingly darker and more intense light.

“Did I tell you? “Intention is not omnipotent.”

It surpassed the power of the Heavenly Demon striking the ground.

“shut up!”

“There is no such thing as absolute defense or a sword that can cut everything.”

He rushed into the left side of the Heavenly Demon and struck down a divine slash. The sword of transcendence falling vertically pierced the martial spirit of the Heavenly Demon.

Wooooow!

As he approached the Heavenly Demon, his sword strikes became slower, but his own sword also became faster.

A battle between thoughts and ideas.

What helped me endure that hellish time was my practical experience and persistence.

I was more confident about that than anyone else.

“Ugh! “Not like you!”

The Heavenly Demon’s tightly closed mouth began to open.

“High enlightenment, perfectly refined martial arts, special intent. You’re all great, but your martial arts don’t have any soul. “I have no practical experience.”

“Practical? “What are you saying now?”

“I’m not talking about the massacre you committed. When was the last time you had a real sword battle with a warrior of similar skill? When was the last time you risked your life fighting someone of the same level as you? As far as I can see, there has never been one?”

“that….”

The Heavenly Demon could not answer. As expected, his radishes seem to have been piled up alone in the cave.

“Your martial arts lack the spirit that only those who risk their lives have.”

The Heavenly Demon is strong.

He is more powerful than anyone he has ever fought. But he has little experience in actual combat. He is simply filled with high and deep enlightenment.

His own martial arts are different.

It is a vivid state that harmonizes the enlightenment gained in the cave with the bloody battle.

“I don’t think I’ve ever fought for my life since I ran away from the guilds 30 years ago. “You are now…”

“There’s no need for that!”

The Heavenly Demon attacks, burning its entire body with demonic energy. A fearsome magical energy swirled around his thrown fist.

In a sincere manner. It’s a perfect power that doesn’t waver even an inch, so much so that it can be used as an example. So it was easy.

Stepping on Hwan and Byeon Gwae’s treasures, he released all of the power of the Heavenly Demon.

Quaaaaa!

He struck down his sword at the charging Cheonma. The huge shock wave that erupted as the fist and sword clashed caused all the remaining walls and buildings to collapse.

Wow!

Baek Woo-jin penetrated the shock wave and fired a black king bullet at Cheonma. There was no need for defense, just attack.

Coo coo coo coo!

The absolute defensive martial spirit created by the Heavenly Demon with great intention is split by the black wave.

Pukaaaak!

There was a lot of blood on the sword. The blood was gushing out as the Heavenly Demon’s chest split open.

“Keuuuuuuu!”

The Heavenly Demon stepped back from him for the first time and grabbed his chest.

“Enlightenment without practice is like a sword without a sharp edge.”

I approached the Heavenly Demon with my blood flowing and my sword raised.

“This doesn’t make sense….”

The wound on the Heavenly Demon’s chest began to heal quickly, but the wound on his mind was not healed at all.

“I received a revelation from the God of War! “I can’t lose to you, who have reached transcendence with only human power!”

“Revelation of God of War?”

“When I was deep in thought, the God of War descended into my world and opened the way to transcendence! This is the power of vengeance He gave me!”

“It is the path of transcendence….”

Baek Woo-jin narrowed his eyes. There is no god like him in the world, not even Kabaron.

‘Something is strange…’

I kept thinking about it, but his thoughts and my thoughts had similar methods and flows.

“Did you happen to be two years ago…”

“Stop!”

As I was about to approach the Heavenly Demon, an urgent voice came from the right.

‘Red Yeonhwa!’

When he turned his head, he saw Yeonhwa with red veins growing on her face like Geomhu or Gwonhwang. A guy named Zima was holding her neck.

“You wouldn’t want to see your woman die, would you?”

“Don’t do it! “What are you doing now?”

The Heavenly Demon widened his eyes.

“Heavenly Demon! We have not yet achieved our revenge. “It can’t end here!”

Jima bowed her head to Cheonma and pushed her enemy Yeonhwa forward.

“Don’t move! “If you move even a little or use a heart sword, I will kill this woman even if it means I die.”

“It comes out dirty.”

Baek Woo-jin wrinkled the bridge of his nose. I wouldn’t know if he was alone. If you have a Heavenly Demon, you will be caught the moment you try to use the Heart Sword. There was no way now.

“Do we really have to do this? “By taking them hostage?”

I saw the Heavenly Demon, but there was no answer from him. Perhaps because he is worried, he just glares at himself and Jeok Yeon-hwa with shaking eyes.

“Lower your sword!”

“Whoa….”

Baek Woo-jin sighed at Jima’s words and lowered his sword. He looked at Yeonhwa with blank eyes.

‘hmm?’

But it was a little different. Unlike Emperor Kwon after Geomhu, there was a small blue light in her eyes.

**

Jeok Yeon-hwa watched everything that happened today inside the blood vessel.

The desperate struggle of Hwang Byeong-hoon, a dying warrior of a collapsing association. And even the appearance of Baek Woo-jin.

‘It was dizzying.’

If Baek Woo-jin had not appeared, Hwang Byeong-hoon and the talented people on the front line would have died and the association would have completely collapsed.

‘But more than that…’

There was something even more dizzying.

No one will know how surprised, how nervous, and how thrilled he was when Baek Woo-jin told Cheon-ma to give him his woman.

Baek Woo-jin was strong.

He consistently overwhelmed the Heavenly Demon, who had overwhelmed the two absolute beings. It even broke through the strange defenses displayed by the Cheonma that was being pushed back.

So I knew the time had come.

‘They will use me.’

She felt Zima touching her red orbs that had trapped her.

It was clear that when Cheonma was in danger, she would use herself as a hostage to stop Baek Woo-jin.

‘I didn’t want to meet you like this. uh?’

Before she had time to prepare her heart, Jima released the seal of the blood vessel.

Kyaaaang!

It sounded like a glass bead breaking in her ear.

The blood vessel that had imprisoned her shattered into pieces, and the bloody, thick air of the battlefield filled her lungs.

‘Uhm….’

Unlike when she was in her beads, she had sensation in her body but was unable to move.

No, she didn’t want to move.

‘Why are you doing this?’

It’s strange. Thoughts of running away immediately filled her mind, but her feet did not fall.

All she could think about was following Zima’s orders as he grabbed her by the throat.

“Lower your sword!”

Baek Woo-jin saw himself and lowered his sword. When he saw him biting his lip, his heart felt like it was going to explode.

Again. also!

He didn’t want to be seen like this.

The reason I left for Geomgak alone was because I wanted to become a woman worthy of Baek Woo-jin.

She wanted to be the woman who could stand next to him and confess first.

‘but….’

She said that she was holding him back. She felt sorry and embarrassed and couldn’t meet Baek Woo-jin’s gaze.

“Throw your sword and step back. “I tell you again, if you use the Heart Sword, I will kill this woman.”

Baek Woo-jin threw the Seolyeong sword to the side at Jima’s words. It felt like the blade of the Seolyeong sword hitting the ground with a thud had pierced his chest.

‘like this….’

Jeok Yeon-hwa screamed that no one could hear.

‘It can’t stay like this!’

his fingers. I really forced my little finger, which couldn’t move, to move. But it doesn’t move.

It felt like the nerve connecting my brain and my fingers had been cut.

‘But you still have to do it.’

The practice of moving the disobedient body continued within the blood vessel. Now is the time to deliver the results.

It continued to stimulate my stone-hardened mind. Tell me to move. Move your fingers.

‘uh?’

My little finger moved as I wanted it to move while muttering endlessly as if I was chanting Buddhist prayers.

‘Kwaaagh!’

I screamed without realizing it.

He felt a burning pain as if his hand was on fire and a pain as if his head was being hit with a hammer at the same time.

‘Ugh!!’

I couldn’t breathe due to the sudden pain. He was so sick that he thought he wanted to die.

Struggling with the excruciating pain, he raised his head and made eye contact with Baek Woo-jin.

‘ah….’

His eyes were transparent. So much so that he can read emotions.

Worried, worried, sad, worried.

He was only thinking about himself to the point where he could only think of similar words.

So he couldn’t stay like this.

He moved his hands, enduring excruciating pain through his helpless will.

‘Aaaah!’

His entire hand felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace, and his head was so throbbing that he could not continue his thoughts.

[Don’t do anything useless.]

Zima’s voice came into my head. Unlike Jeon Eum, his thoughts seemed to penetrate directly.

[You cannot refuse my command.]

That was right. The moment I heard that voice, I couldn’t move as if my soul was tied up.

[Attack me. Hit my abdomen with your fist and then run away to Baek Woo-jin.]

‘what?’

I didn’t understand. I couldn’t figure out why I was being told to run away.

[And then release the blood poison and self-destruct.]

When that cold voice reached my mind, goosebumps rose up as if an ice blade were passing through my blood vessels.

‘ah….’

Jima was giving instructions to run away to kill her and Baek Woo-jin at the same time.

‘no. for a moment.’

Jeok Yeon-hwa swallowed dry saliva.

‘This is an opportunity.’

If you ignore the instructions just once and attack Zima’s heart, you can get out of this situation.

‘but….’

Just trying to move by one’s own will brought on extreme pain, and I couldn’t imagine what the aftereffects would be like if I attacked Zima, who was considered my master.

“Back away slowly. “Baek Woo-jin.”

Zima pushed Baek Woo-jin back and began to relax his grip on his neck.

[It is now. Attack me!]

That voice was an oracle. A commandment that cannot be ignored.

Wow.

Red Yeonhwa quickly turned her body and raised her fist.

I didn’t feel any pain because I followed her instructions. It didn’t even occur to him to rebel. He just feels like he has to follow.

I knew I couldn’t do it, but I knew I had to stop, but I couldn’t stop it as if the outcome was already decided.

Wooooow!

As she filled her fist with aura, Zima’s eyes were filled with mockery.

Baek Woo-jin, standing behind him, is reflected in those cloudy black eyes. He was still only looking at himself.

‘I’m okay. But that person….’

Can not be done. I don’t mind dying, but I couldn’t kill that person.

Pop.

When he thought Baek Woo-jin was going to die, he felt like the strings controlling his limbs had been cut.

[If I change because of that person, it is love that goes beyond liking. Love means thinking of him rather than yourself.]

I remembered what Geomhu told me about love. And he felt it. He knows that he loves Baek Woo-jin.

He had to change now for his sake. No, he has already changed.

Gooooo!

Red Yeonhwa wrapped the aura on his fist thicker and changed the direction of the fist. Not with Zima’s abdomen, but with his heart.

‘Keuuuuuuu!’

As soon as I had the intention to kill Zima, I felt terrible pain. Teeth clenched automatically. The blood vessels in his body were broken and veins burst from his eyes and nose.

Pain that he had never experienced before swept through his body, but he did not stop punching.

“What are you doing now… Wow!”

After piercing the panicked Zima’s heart, he grabbed the bastard’s neck and ran forward.

“You crazy bitch!”

Zima opened his eyes wide and blood poured out.

“If you refuse my orders, you too will die!”

“I choose where I die!”

Even just talking makes blood leak from his mouth. The pain did not stop as his broken blood vessels stretched and his organs were damaged. I wanted to collapse right away.

“Aaaah!”

The red Yeonhwa screamed evilly and pinned Jima to the ground, leaving a hole in his chest.

“Red Yeonhwa!”

Baek Woo-jin’s voice came from behind me.

“Oh don’t come!”

My vision began to turn dark, as if death was imminent.

I wanted to look back.

Lastly, I wanted to see Baek Woo-jin.

Also, I didn’t want to look back.

Veins appeared on his face, and blood flowed from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. I didn’t want to show such an ugly sight.

Still, Jeok Yeon-hwa turned around. I saw Baek Woo-jin. And laughed.

“sorry. I was always grateful. and….”

**

Baek Woo-jin recalled Moon Ju-young’s first words as he looked at the blood-stained red lotus flower.

‘Did you say it was just a moment? ‘Falling in love.’

The pupils were red and swollen, red veins appeared on the cracked skin, and blood flowed from Goku.

A look that cannot even be compared to the appearance that is so beautiful that it is usually called Gyeonggukji color. But now she was more lovely than ever.

Enemy Yeonhwa overcame the blood poison that brought even her sword lord and king Kwon to their knees and cut off her Jima’s life.

Now that she knew why she dragged her Zima to her corner, she saw that she was more beautiful than anyone she knew.

“Red softening.”

Baek Woo-jin approached her, keeping her Cheonma in check so that it could not move.

“Don’t come! “I’m about to explode and die… ah!”

“You damn bitch!”

A hand like a tree root wrapped around Jeok Yeon-hwa’s neck. It was Zima. The bastard survived and grabbed Yeonhwa by the neck, despite a hole being punctured in her left breast.

“The city’s heart must have been pierced….”

“This is Goruma-gong. “I threw away my heart and life long ago!”

The guy growled as if he was chewing on a red lotus flower.

“Consider yourself lucky. “If you had killed me, I wouldn’t have survived even four years!”

“Huhhh again….”

Yeonhwa cried out silently, probably because she thought she had failed at the last moment.

“I’ll save you right away.”

Baek Woo-jin ran towards Jeok Yeon-hwa.

“Do not come! “Do you want to kill me like this?”

“I don’t listen to anything you say.”

She forged her intention and sharpened her sword.

“Stop!”

The Heavenly Demon opened his mind and blocked the heart sword being fired. But that’s not what I was aiming for.

“Changcheon!”

A golden sword protruded through the space and hit the top of Zima’s head, spewing out fierce anger.

“Keuuuuuck!”

Jima let go of her hand that was wrapped around her enemy Yeonhwa, as she was in excruciating pain.

“Ugh! this guy!”

“go away.”

Baek Woo-jin thrust his fist towards the Heavenly Demon blocking his path.

Kwaaaaaaaa!

The fist filled with true intent shattered the martial spirit and struck the Cheonma’s cheekbone.

Wow!

Cheonma was unable to control his body and fell between the collapsed buildings.

“Red Yeonhwa!”

Baek Woo-jin ran without looking back and hugged the fallen Jeok Yeon-hwa.

Ugh!

The positive heart attack was activated. He removed the blood poison with the Northern Myeong Art and at the same time reconnected the severed blood vessel with Rasadum’s aura and intention.

“ha….”

Fortunately, not all blood vessels were cut off. I thought I could return to normal if I recovered quickly.

‘It was said that love is something that can be sacrificed on a sinking ship.’

As Baek Woo-jin looked at Jeok Yeon-hwa with her eyes closed, Moon Joo-young’s second words came to mind. Now I definitely know what that means.

But that’s not your path.

“I don’t make any sacrifices. “I will live with you even if I have to swim.”
