Chapter 134. The Great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult Does Not Forget Revenge.
‘You will regret this.’
While guiding Jin Cheon, Perfected Person Suyang secretly prepared a counterattack.
Although he couldn't use his internal energy because of the acupoint sealing, Perfected Person Suyang had several talismans containing sorcery in his sleeves.
If he stealthily took out a talisman and deployed the sorcery, he could surely counterattack Jin Cheon even without being able to use his internal energy.
‘In the end, you're no different from other martial artists.’
In Perfected Person Suyang's opinion, martial artists tended to think that if they just prevented their opponent from using internal energy, everything would be fine.
In fact, many martial artists were under the delusion that they couldn't do anything if they couldn't use their internal energy.
“This way.”
The place Perfected Person Suyang guided Jin Cheon to was called the Supreme Clarity Treasury, a place where the treasures of the Mount Mao Sect were stored.
There, the secret manuals of the Mount Mao Sect's core sorcery and various treasures were kept, and the Earthly Center Trigram was one of them.
“Follow me a little further.”
“Very well.”
The moment he took a few more steps.
Pat!
Perfected Person Suyang drew a talisman from his sleeve like lightning and activated the sorcery.
However…
Seueueu!
The Nine-headed Dragon Robe, a black martial robe, emitted light and neutralized Perfected Person Suyang's sorcery.
“……!”
The startled Perfected Person Suyang froze in place as if struck by lightning.
“Th-that is.”
“Yes.”
Jin Cheon replied with a grin.
“It's the Nine-headed Dragon Robe. I don't think I need to explain.”
“Th-that is a sacred object of the Demonic Cult's leader, how do you have it…”
“You don't need to know that.”
Jin Cheon moved his hand like lightning and pressed Perfected Person Suyang's muting point.
“You tried a dirty trick, so you must be punished, right? You've heard of the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique, haven't you?”
“……!”
“I'll do it for about a moment, so try to endure it as best you can. Huhuhu.”
With those words, Jin Cheon began to perform the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique, kneading Perfected Person Suyang's entire body.
Crack! / Crrrk!
Screeech!
Soon, gruesome sounds began to flow from all over Perfected Person Suyang's body.
Tremble...!
Perfected Person Suyang struggled, his eyes rolled back to show the whites.
“Huhu.”
Jin Cheon whispered to Perfected Person Suyang with a bitter smile.
“You seem so happy you don't know what to do with yourself. If you wanted to be tortured so badly, you should have just said so from the beginning. I would have gladly done it for you.”
While saying so, Jin Cheon continued to apply the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique to Perfected Person Suyang.
As time passed, Perfected Person Suyang's condition worsened, sweating profusely and developing dark bruises all over his body.
And with good reason; the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique that Jin Cheon was applying was not simply kneading bones and flesh.
He made the demonic qi seep into the spaces between muscles and bones, and throughout the blood vessels of the entire body, so the pain was beyond imagination.
For all he knew, the pain Perfected Person Suyang was feeling now was at least three or four times more severe than a normal Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique.
After a moment passed.
“Are you in your right mind to act properly now?”
“I-I was wrong. I was truly wrong.”
As soon as Jin Cheon released his acupoint, Perfected Person Suyang prostrated himself and begged for his life, his hands and feet rubbing together.
Tears, snot, and saliva were dripping from Perfected Person Suyang's eyes, nose, and mouth.
The pain of the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Dislocating Technique inflicted by Jin Cheon was so severe that he had completely surrendered in just a moment.
“So, the Earthly Center Trigram?”
“H-here it is!”
Perfected Person Suyang hastily took out the Earthly Center Trigram and handed it to Jin Cheon.
“Good.”
Jin Cheon smiled as he received the Earthly Center Trigram.
With this, he had obtained the Earthly Center Trigram following the Heavenly Principle Trigram, so only one remained.
If the Heavenly Evasion Divine Thief succeeded in stealing the Wind and Cloud Trigram stored in the Qingcheng Sect, he would be able to complete the Heaven and Earth Treasure Box and track the first Heavenly Demon.
‘If I had my way, I'd take everything. Tsk.’
Jin Cheon licked his lips as he glanced over the treasures stored in the Supreme Clarity Treasury.
Since he had already infiltrated the Supreme Clarity Treasury, he wanted to sweep away all the treasures here, but the problem was that there was no suitable method.
To escape with this many treasures, it would be impossible for Jin Cheon alone.
‘I should just take a few of the best ones…’
Just then.
Peolleok!
The sleeve of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe fluttered.
“……?”
Jin Cheon tilted his head as he looked down at the sleeve, but he soon realized the reason.
When he was learning how to use the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, he had realized that an enormous amount of items could be stored in the pocket inside the sleeve.
‘Let's try it.’
Jin Cheon decided to try putting any object he could get his hands on into the sleeve.
Seueuk, Jin Cheon's hand reached for a truly large fan.
“Heok!”
Perfected Person Suyang was startled.
Heavenly Wind Fan.
It was a sacred object of the Mount Mao Sect's sect leader, a treasure said to have been personally made by the sect's founder, Wei Huacun.
“Got a problem?”
“The Heavenly Wind Fan is a sacred object of our sect. You've taken the Earthly Center Trigram, isn't that enough? Why are you trying to take the Heavenly Wind Fan as well? Please, just that one…”
“Keuk.”
Jin Cheon snorted.
“You seem to have forgotten that you bastards intended to ruin our cult by trying to undo the seal of the Divine Spirit Tree?”
“Th-that is.”
“It's cause and effect.”
Jin Cheon grabbed Perfected Person Suyang's head.
“The Great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult does not forget revenge.”
“Keu, keueuk!”
“This is the price for daring to touch our cult.”
Peok, Perfected Person Suyang's head burst.
The sect leader of the Mount Mao Sect, a member of the Nine Sects One Gang, met his death with his head smashed.
***
‘Will this even fit?’
After killing Perfected Person Suyang, Jin Cheon tried to stuff the large fan called the Heavenly Wind Fan into the sleeve of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
Surprisingly, the sleeve of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe opened wide like the mouth of a snake and gobbled up the fan, which was the size of a small child.
‘It works.’
Jin Cheon shook his arm this way and that, but he felt no foreign sensation or weight.
When he held the Heavenly Wind Fan, he had felt a heavy weight…
‘Can more go in?’
Out of curiosity, Jin Cheon tried to stuff every object he could see into the sleeve of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
From the secret manuals recording the secret sorcery of the Mount Mao Sect, to various divine weapons, and even a mountain of gold ingots and bank notes.
The sleeve of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe swallowed everything as if it contained a void within.
‘This is amazing.’
Jin Cheon once again realized why the Nine-headed Dragon Robe was called the greatest treasure under heaven.
Just the ability to hold all sorts of objects, ignoring volume and weight, wasn't that enough to be called the greatest treasure under heaven?
Moreover, even though he had packed hundreds of pounds of objects, the weight Jin Cheon felt was lighter than a feather.
‘I won't need a bag from now on.’
Thinking so, Jin Cheon swept up everything that was stored in the Supreme Clarity Treasury and then looked back at Perfected Person Suyang's corpse.
“I should let them know who killed him.”
Just as Jin Cheon was leaving the Supreme Clarity Treasury after using a nearby brush and ink to leave a letter that said ‘Seventh Young Master of the Great Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, Jin Cheon’.
“……!”
Two Mount Mao Sect Taoists on patrol discovered Jin Cheon and were startled.
It would have been great if he had slipped out without a trace, but he had run right into the patrolmen.
“Who are you!”
“It's an enemy!”
The shouts of the guards echoed through the quiet precincts of the Mount Mao Sect.
That was not all.
As if they had cast some sorcery, the sound of bells was heard from all directions, shattering the silence of the previously quiet precincts.
“It seems I'll have to make a scene.”
Jin Cheon, with a troubled expression, rushed towards the Mount Mao Sect Taoists.
The time it took for Jin Cheon to kill them was truly a fleeting moment.
“What's going on?”
“What do you mean, what's going on. We got caught.”
Jin Cheon answered Seop So-yeon's question as she rushed over.
“This is going to be a headache.”
“It's not like we didn't expect it.”
“That's true.”
“Let's go quickly. Before we get tied down.”
Jin Cheon launched himself into the air with Seop So-yeon.
“They're intruders!”
“Catch them!”
From all directions, Mount Mao Sect Taoists emerged and rushed towards Jin Cheon and Seop So-yeon.
‘Yes, since it has come to this, it would be good to kill as many as possible.’
Seizing the opportunity, Jin Cheon drew his sword.
As he had told the dead Perfected Person Suyang, the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult does not forget revenge.
The same was true for Jin Cheon.
Since the Mount Mao Sect had sent sorcerers to the Sea of Trees to destroy the Divine Spirit Tree, they were his mortal enemies.
In that case, wasn't it his duty to kill even one more of them?
“Yes, come on.”
With a chilling smile, Jin Cheon began to cut down the rushing Mount Mao Sect Taoists as soon as he saw them.
Chwaaaaaaa!
“Ugh!”
“Ack!”
The Mount Mao Sect Taoists fell like autumn leaves.
Most of the Mount Mao Sect Taoists were no match for Jin Cheon, not even for a single move.
This was because, as sorcerers, the Mount Mao Sect's martial arts were weak, and Jin Cheon's martial arts level was overwhelmingly superior.
“Bind them!”
“Don't fight them with martial arts!”
The Mount Mao Sect Taoists changed their tactics.
They distanced themselves from Jin Cheon and began to cast sorcery by chanting incantations or throwing talismans.
But that too was futile.
Seueueueu!
The nine-headed dragon engraved on the Nine-headed Dragon Robe emitted light and neutralized all the sorcery cast by the Mount Mao Sect sorcerers.
“……!”
The Mount Mao Sect Taoists were startled.
Seeing the sorcery they had honed their entire lives being so futilely neutralized, they were not just bewildered but had momentarily lost their minds.
“Now it's my turn.”
Jin Cheon chased after those who had tried to cast sorcery on him and swung his sword.
“Uwaaaaaaaak!”
“Re-retreat!”
A ridiculous farce unfolded.
Jin Cheon was one, and the place was the precincts of the Mount Mao Sect, but the ones running away were the Mount Mao Sect Taoists.
And with good reason; Jin Cheon, wearing the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, was a natural enemy to the sorcerers.
Since it was impossible for mediocre sorcery to penetrate the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, from the sorcerers' perspective, they had encountered a strange and powerful being that they could not do anything about, no matter what they tried.
In the meantime, Seop So-yeon also brandished her nine tails and fought off the Mount Mao Sect Taoists, so even if the fight continued, the Mount Mao Sect had no chance of winning.
From ordinary disciples to direct disciples, and even the elders, were all utterly powerless…
“This is enough. Let's go.”
“Already? That's a bit disappointing.”
“Disappointing? This?”
“Just when it was getting interesting… Ah.”
Seeing Seop So-yeon's expression, Jin Cheon's face showed he had realized something.
‘She's drunk on blood.’
Thinking so, Jin Cheon looked around.
Corpses, corpses, and more corpses.
When he came to his senses, a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses had unfolded within the precincts of the Mount Mao Sect.
‘I need to be careful about this.’
Killing enemies is good.
But if the act of killing itself becomes enjoyable, that is a serious problem.
Once the Heavenly Demon’s Physique is drunk on blood and the demonic qi rises, it might truly be irreversible.
If one is not controlling the demon, but is devoured and assimilated by it, one would lose their humanity.
Just like the first Heavenly Demon, Dokgo Seong, had.
“I guess I got a little excited.”
Jin Cheon nodded his head as if agreeing with Seop So-yeon's words.
“Let's go. As you said, I think I've killed enough.”
“Yes, good thinking.”
A sense of relief appeared on Seop So-yeon's face.
She had been worried that Jin Cheon might have been consumed by madness, just like the first Heavenly Demon, Dokgo Seong.
Thus, Jin Cheon and Seop So-yeon did not continue the fight any longer and left the mountain gate of the Mount Mao Sect in plain sight.
And no one could stop Jin Cheon and Seop So-yeon.
Since there was no one in the Mount Mao Sect who could stop Jin Cheon and Seop So-yeon at present, there was nothing they could do even as they openly left the mountain gate.
“Ah.”
Jin Cheon paused his steps for a moment.
“Don't tell me you're going to keep killing?”
“No.”
Jin Cheon shook his head.
“I have to break that before I go.”
Jin Cheon pointed to the plaque hanging on the mountain gate.
It was a plaque that the founder of the Mount Mao Sect, Wei Huacun, had personally hung.
Chwaaaaa!
Jin Cheon swung his sword towards the Mount Mao Sect's plaque.
Tuk.
The Mount Mao Sect's plaque, split in two, tumbled to the ground.
