Chapter 169. That Way They Get More Pissed Off
“These vicious bastards…… You mean all this was your doing!”
Geom Cheon-sin shouted furiously and vomited anger.
The number of sacrifices made over the past ten days was by no means small.
Not only the government army and the Righteous Heavenly Alliance but also the direct disciples of the Kongtong Sect, and even more than thirty Demon-Subduing Sword Masters, who were the elite of the elite, had died in battle.
They were in the middle of executing the terrifying witch with such difficulty, exerting all their efforts, but to think all this was the Unrivaled New Demon’s stratagem…….
It would be strange if pent-up anger didn't burst out.
“Yes, it is our doing.”
Jin Cheon sneered at Geom Cheon-sin.
“Then, did you think it wasn't our doing?”
“Y-You……!”
“Rtards. Just because it’s said to be the Second Young Lady of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, swarming like a pack of dogs. I can’t even imagine how stupid one has to be to be played like this.”
Jin Cheon didn't bother telling the truth.
Of course, it was an undeniable fact that Jin Cheon used the government army, the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, and the Kongtong Sect.
However, this incident was caused by the Demonic Devil Cult to the end, and was also merely something that happened by chance.
Wasn't it not planned from the beginning with the intention of luring out the government army, the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, and the Kongtong Sect?
Nevertheless, there was a reason why Jin Cheon sneered pretending he plotted everything…….
“Um, Big brother. Aren’t you buying unnecessary misunderstanding?”
Dang Cheon-wi whispered small in Jin Cheon’s ear.
It was because he was worried that Jin Cheon would buy useless misunderstanding and his notoriety would increase even more.
However, Jin Cheon’s thought was different.
“I did it so that would happen?”
“Yes……?”
“That way they get more pissed off.”
“S-Such!”
“Since they are guys who will die anyway, they shouldn't be bored on the way to the netherworld by getting extremely pissed off at least.”
“…….”
Dang Cheon-wi ended up losing his words at Jin Cheon’s viciousness.
He knew his personality changed a lot, but to think he had such a bad taste…….
“Well, anyway.”
Jin Cheon turned his head toward Geom Cheon-sin’s group.
“You suffered a lot in the meantime, and now it’s time to die.”
Jin Cheon said so and looked back at Cheon U-jin who was beside him.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I ask of you.”
“Right, I will take charge.”
Cheon U-jin readily followed Jin Cheon’s instruction.
Anyway, not only Cheon U-jin but also other demonic practitioners of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult could not even establish a fight with Dokgo Seong itself, doing so was a natural procedure.
- Eldest Senior Brother. Dare I ask one favor?
Jin Cheon conveyed his intention to Cheon U-jin through Heart-voice.
- As much as you want.
Although Cheon U-jin could not use Heart-voice, he responded to Jin Cheon’s words using Qi Transmission Sound.
- I don’t know about Geom Cheon-sin and the Demon-Subduing Sword Masters, but I would like you not to kill the government army and the Righteous Heavenly Alliance martial artists as much as possible. Especially, could you bestow mercy on those who surrender?
- The reason being.
Cheon U-jin was somewhat puzzled by Jin Cheon’s request.
Now was a golden opportunity to sweep away the enemies.
Not only the government army and the Righteous Heavenly Alliance, but especially in the case of the Kongtong Sect martial artists who were members of the Nine Sects One Gang and could be called the gatekeepers of Gansu Province, they were enemies that must be eliminated.
For the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult to advance into the Central Plains, destroying the Kongtong Sect was indispensable.
But to bestow mercy?
It was something Cheon U-jin could not understand.
- Our Cult has many enemies anyway. Although weakening the enemies' combat power is unavoidable, we should not turn the world into enemies by accumulating unnecessary killing karma.
- Hmm.
- I don’t know about the Kongtong Sect, but is there a need to kill even the general martial artists of the government army or the Righteous Heavenly Alliance? They might also be subjects our Cult needs to embrace.
As an orthodox demonic practitioner, Cheon U-jin did not understand such Jin Cheon’s opinion well.
Although familiar with killing through overwhelming power and reigning with fear, he was clumsy at bestowing moderation, tolerance, and mercy.
- Although it might be a short thought, I think fighting the world is not everything.
- Then?
- I think the world…… can also be embraced.
- ……!
- The more you press down with force, the fiercer the resistance becomes. Of course, if necessary, we must press down with force and kill. However, I think a certain degree of mercy and tolerance is needed.
- That is…….
Perhaps having a great realization hearing Jin Cheon’s words, Cheon U-jin could not easily continue his words.
‘The world…… could also be embraced?’
Cheon U-jin felt as if his eyes were opened.
From the position of having fulfilled heavy responsibilities as the First Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, Jin Cheon’s remark came as a fresh shock.
- Right, I understand. As you wish…… I will try to bestow mercy and tolerance.
- Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.
According to Jin Cheon’s will, Cheon U-jin decided not to accumulate unnecessary killing karma.
Of course, that would merely be a story about those who do not hinder the general trend.
***
“Kill all who resist, and do not touch those who surrender.”
“As you command!”
Cheon U-jin immediately led the Asura Blood Sword Unit and the Rakshasa Troupe and drove Geom Cheon-sin’s group, that is, those centered on the Kongtong Sect.
Yeom Bi, the Blood Qilin, and Wi Mu-rin also attacked the enemies with Cheon U-jin.
“Aaaaaack!”
“Kuaak!”
Before that overwhelming martial power of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, the enemies were infinitely powerless.
All they could do was just run away or fight and die.
“These vicious devils!”
Unable to watch any longer, Geom Cheon-sin jumped into the battlefield.
“There was a time I pledged to kill you with my own hands someday.”
Cheon U-jin blocked the front of such Geom Cheon-sin.
“True Demon (Jinma)! Do you think you can defeat me!”
“Of course.”
Cheon U-jin was not intimidated at all even in front of Geom Cheon-sin, the Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sect and a master of the Realm of Transformation, and was also full of confidence.
Perhaps the two were rivals.
Although there was a difference in age, since they were masters who reached a similar realm, they would be the perfect opponents to wage a life-and-death duel.
“Come, I am Cheon U-jin, the First Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult.”
“You bastard!”
As Cheon U-jin and Geom Cheon-sin clashed, a truly earth-shattering fight broke out.
In the meantime.
Step step.
Jin Cheon approached Dokgo Seong, who was sitting on a pile of corpses in an arrogant posture.
“It’s time to see the end.”
“Right, we should.”
It was a low voice, but the anger contained in it was truly enormous.
Indeed, from the position of him who was worshipped as the founder, ancestor, and Only God of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, the situation like now was the disgrace of a lifetime.
Throughout hundreds of years of reincarnation, was there ever such a humiliating enemy…….
At the very least, even when he fell under the joint attack of the Iron-Blooded Demonic God and the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior during the past Righteous-Demonic War, Dokgo Seong had never experienced such disgrace.
“Still, isn’t it fortunate? Wouldn't it be better than dying to trash-like Orthodox Faction bastards?”
“Kuk.”
Dokgo Seong responded with a twisted laugh instead of an answer.
Right, conceding a hundred times, let’s say so.
However, dying to those who could be called his descendants would also not be a particularly welcome thing.
Even more, wasn't the opponent the joint successor of the Iron-Blooded Demonic God and the Azure Heaven Divine Warrior, his enemies with whom he cannot live under the same sky?
“It won’t be easy.”
“Probably.”
Jin Cheon nodded.
The opponent was Dokgo Seong.
No matter how weakened he was, there was no way it would be easy.
“Still, the result won’t change, so don’t struggle too much. It’s better to go easily than for both of us to get tired.”
“The price of verbal karma will also never be light.”
Dokgo Seong’s two eyes were dyed deep purple.
That was the same for Jin Cheon.
Jin Cheon’s two eyes, having activated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic King, were dyed purple like amethyst and spewed out blue ghost fire.
“Here I go.”
Jin Cheon threw his body toward Dokgo Seong.
“A thousand years too early.”
Dokgo Seong, who activated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic King before anyone knew, faced Jin Cheon’s offensive.
Boom, Baaaaang!
As Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong clashed, a roar as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was overturning rang out.
It was a collision like heaven-startling, earth-shaking in the true sense.
Paaaaang!
Every time Jin Cheon’s sword and Dokgo Seong’s hand collided, the bursting shockwave smashed surrounding rocks and knocked down huge trees.
Pop, Pooong!
Every time the powerful qi poured toward each other bounced off, the ground surface was dug up, and everything around was destroyed.
Like that, Dokgo Seong and Jin Cheon exchanged powerful offense and defense where arms and legs would fly off and internal organs would be destroyed in every single exchange.
Since there was nothing that wasn't a lethal technique for one-hit kill, there was no need to mention the danger.
Rip!
It was so bad that both Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong had their skin burst and blood flowing profusely.
No matter if they were in a demonified state through the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi, as long as they were human bodies, even withstanding the aftermath of the offense and defense they exchanged was burdensome.
‘Strong, really incredibly strong.’
Jin Cheon felt like his breath was blocked even while fighting Dokgo Seong.
Actually, the difference in skill was at a truly enormous level.
The strength of Dokgo Seong who activated the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor was to the point where he wouldn't be lacking even if he claimed to be the Number One Under Heaven right now.
Indeed, it was so.
Bang!
When Dokgo Seong’s fist slightly grazed past Jin Cheon’s shoulder.
“Kuaak!”
A scream burst from Jin Cheon’s mouth.
Shoulder muscles flew away in chunks, and white shoulder bone was revealed intact between the torn muscles.
Even though it merely grazed, the shoulder was half blown away.
It was fortunate that it was the left side; if it were the right shoulder holding the sword, it would have been a fatal wound directly leading to defeat.
Of course, Dokgo Seong wasn't unscathed either.
Squelch, squelch!
Dokgo Seong’s body was collapsing.
As the price for activating the Heavenly Demon Divine Qi Demonic Emperor to deal with Jin Cheon, he too was slowly crumbling.
But Dokgo Seong didn't care.
“Even if I am annihilated, you, the joint successor of those damned bitch and bastard, will not return alive.”
Dokgo Seong gave up living any longer and was facing Jin Cheon with the posture of mutual destruction.
Realizing that it was impossible to safely escape Gansu Province in this situation, it was the intention to take at least Jin Cheon with him.
“Kueuk!”
Jin Cheon continued the fight gritting his teeth even though his left arm became unusable.
It was a major injury.
If it were another person, they would have become disabled, unable to use their left arm for life.
But Jin Cheon had the best treasured object under heaven, the Nine-headed Dragon Robe.
Sssss!
At the same time the Nine-headed Dragon engraved on the Nine-headed Dragon Robe emitted light, Jin Cheon’s wound began to heal at a fast speed.
That wasn't all.
Even the shoulder part torn by Dokgo Seong’s attack was restored like a lie.
The Nine-headed Dragon Robe was indeed the best treasured object under heaven, restoring tolerable external injuries in the blink of an eye!
“The one dying is not me but only you.”
Jin Cheon growled and rushed at Dokgo Seong with more aggressive movements.
Since tolerable external injuries would heal in the blink of an eye as long as he was wearing the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, the intention was to drag the fight into a long-term battle based on that miraculous regenerative power.
***
The fight between Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong continued for nearly two hours, and the winner was Dokgo Seong whoever looked at it.
Jin Cheon was barely holding on with the power of the Nine-headed Dragon Robe and could not land a valid hit on Dokgo Seong.
That was perhaps natural.
Dokgo Seong was using the fourth stage of Heavenly Demon Divine Qi, Demonic Emperor, and was a figure who mastered the Heavenly Demon Sword Art as well as the Heavenly Demon Fighting Soul Martial Art to the twelfth stage completion.
Since he was the very person who created the martial arts Jin Cheon mainly used and trained them to the limit, it was perfectly natural to be advantageous.
In the meantime, Jin Cheon’s heart was urgent beyond measure.
‘Damn it.’
Jin Cheon ground his teeth inwardly.
Dokgo Seong’s martial prowess was beyond expectation.
If not for the Nine-headed Dragon Robe, Jin Cheon would have collapsed and died long ago.
To that extent, the gap between Jin Cheon and Dokgo Seong was extreme.
The problem was time.
Dokgo Seong, Cheol Yu-ra’s body was collapsing.
If he didn't subdue Dokgo Seong quickly, Cheol Yu-ra would never return…….
‘There is no time but I can neither kill nor overwhelm him.’
Right then.
‘If it’s the Oppression Suppression True Qi, maybe it’s possible.’
Jin Cheon recalled his master Azure Heaven Divine Warrior’s unique martial art.
The very martial art that allowed the Iron-Blooded Demonic God to punish Dokgo Seong in his complete state.
