Little Demon Reversion to Youth

Chapter 108

'This bastard... ugh!'

The Blood Fiend was in a state where his ki was running wild after just entering the Profound Realm.

He had completely opened his dantian to block Baekji's attack.

But.

As Baekji's bamboo staff continuously struck his protective ki, his dantian was shocked, and the gate of the 'blood prison' was shattered.

Kuuuung!

A thick blood ki spread out from the 'dantian blood prison' and scattered throughout his entire body.

'Blood Demonic God!'

The Blood Fiend's heart pounded.

It was the 'Blood Demonic God' that he had to stop just before reaching.

When the 'blood prison' was almost open, the Blood Cult Leader's consciousness had descended.

In that situation, he could not achieve the 'Blood Demonic God'.

The Blood Cult Leader's consciousness had called his soul and had tried to forcibly open the gate of the 'blood prison'.

If the gate of the 'blood prison' had opened then, he would have become a 'Blood Demon' controlled by the Blood Cult Leader.

So he had endured.

Although it was a long-cherished wish, he did not want to live as a puppet.

In the meantime, the gate of the 'blood prison' seemed to have weakened.

While fighting with Baekji, the gate of the 'blood prison' had been completely broken.

Was this what they called a blessing in disguise?

Kuooo!

The blood mist swirled, and from within, the Blood Fiend revealed his blood-red body.

Ududuk!

Kwa-kwang!

The Blood Fiend's body writhed, his muscles bulged, and his bones protruded.

His blood vessels writhed and settled in new places.

"Huh! What is this?"

Baekji was surprised.

It was the first time he had seen the process of bone and flesh transformation before his eyes.

In an instant, the Blood Fiend had grown a head taller, and his physique had changed to a muscular one.

"This is cheating... to undergo bone and flesh transformation while fighting..."

The Alliance members, who were watching from afar, were also greatly surprised by the Blood Fiend's transformation.

"He's transformed into a 'blood demon'!"

"Ah... can the Young Alliance Leader really handle him?"

His power was running wild.

When he opened his eyes, the world seemed to bow down below him.

Not only Baekji, but also the distant Alliance members looked like mere insignificant creatures.

He looked at the night sky.

It seemed as if he could reach the stars that were dotted here and there if he stretched out his hand.

"Huhuhu... uhaha... uhahahaha!"

He let out a roar-like mad laugh at the sense of accomplishment of having achieved the 'Blood Demonic God'.

Now he was not even afraid of the Blood Cult Leader.

The 'Blood Demon'!

A sublime being who was said to be immortal, along with the 'Heavenly Demon'.

"Hmm. It seems that's the 'Blood Demonic God'. He looks quite sturdy."

Baekji was staring with wide eyes.

'This brat... I'll kill you miserably.'

The Blood Fiend slowly stretched out his right hand and opened his palm.

Goo-oh-oh.

The space shimmered and pulled Baekji.

Baekji did not move.

"...?"

He sucked in the space once more.

The air distorted and was sucked in, but Baekji just stared blankly.

"What's wrong? Is something not working?"

'This can't be.'

"Yes. It seems you were deceived by the Blood Cult Leader."

"...?"

"Whether it's a 'Blood Demon' or a 'Heavenly Demon'... only those who have broken through their own walls and have crossed the Life-and-Death Realm can achieve it. With a wicked art like the 'Blood Blood Demonic Art', you can only achieve the body..."

"...?"

"You were destined to be raised as a puppet 'Blood Demon' from the beginning. Are my words too cruel? The truth can be harsh at times."

The Blood Fiend, whose head had grown twice as large, rolled his eyes back and forth.

He could not believe it.

This power that was running wild throughout his body was not a lie.

"Kaaah!"

The Blood Fiend let out a monstrous scream and struck down with his right arm.

Kuuuung!

A huge blood ki poured down on Baekji like a thunderbolt.

Boom-!

The ground was gouged, and dust scattered.

Baekji, who had dodged at some point, was not seen.

A scream was heard from among the Alliance members who were watching from afar.

The Blood Fiend thrust out his left fist towards the place where the scream had come from.

Kung!

A huge blood ki flew fifty zhang in an instant and then exploded.

Kwaang!

"Aack!"

"Keo-heok!"

As the blood ki exploded, the Alliance members were thrown in all directions.

Although he was not a true 'Blood Demon', he had become a monstrous monster.

Baekji clicked his tongue.

"I told you to retreat beyond a hundred zhang."

"Kehehe."

The Blood Fiend found Baekji.

"Hey, I'm here. Don't waste your strength on strange places."

Baekji, who had disappeared, appeared in front of him.

"Now let's get hit properly."

As the bamboo staff moved, the Blood Fiend's figure retreated three zhang in an instant.

Although it was an ordinary bamboo staff, he knew that the power contained in it was not ordinary.

But.

The bamboo staff, as if it were alive, chased him and struck his head.

Thwack!

Peopeopeok!

The bamboo staff beat the Blood Fiend's entire body. It was so fast that he could not defend himself.

"Keuu!"

His entire body, which had turned blood-red, was like an indestructible diamond body, but Baekji's bamboo staff was also like a diamond pestle.

Kwaang!

Every time he was hit, the shock was transmitted to his bones.

"Take this too."

Baekji, who had appeared in front of him at some point, swung his bamboo staff horizontally with determination.

The Blood Fiend crossed his hands and blocked the bamboo staff.

Kung!

With a shock as if his arms would break, a huge wave of ki exploded.

The Blood Fiend, who had been hit by Baekji's bamboo staff, flew back and was embedded in the cliff of the Lighting Pit.

Kukukung!

As the Blood Fiend writhed and pushed his way out, the cliff trembled.

"Uh-oh? Be careful!"

When Baekji shouted, the Blood Fiend raised his head and was hit by a falling rock.

Kwa-jik!

Although the rock split in two, the Blood Fiend was unharmed.

But...

Then, the entire cliff collapsed.

It was a cliff that had been weakened by the strong ki that Baekji had struck wildly.

In an instant, it collapsed, and the Blood Fiend was buried.

"Wow!"

The Alliance members all cheered and then stopped.

The pile of dirt writhed and then rose as if a mole were passing through.

The pile of dirt collapsed and headed towards the remaining cliff.

The Alliance members all pointed at the pile of dirt and shouted.

"He's escaping underground!"

"Young Alliance Leader! He's going to the cliff!"

Baekji, seeing the pile of dirt heading towards the cliff, clicked his tongue.

"Has he become a mole?"

Baekji flew and struck the path where the Blood Fiend was going with his bamboo staff.

Boom!

Although the pile of dirt was greatly gouged, the Blood Fiend had entered under the cliff by a hair's breadth.

"Damn it!"

Baekji had no intention of entering the narrow underground to chase the Blood Fiend.

"Hmm. I missed him by doing something foolish."

He had failed while trying to show off his overwhelming martial prowess.

Embarrassed, he pretended to chase the Blood Fiend, went up the cliff, and then left the Alliance.

* * *

Baekji, who had returned to the Tianlong Inn at dawn, locked the door and slept.

When it was time for breakfast, Mado appeared in front of Baekji's room.

'Why isn't this brat waking up? It's past breakfast time.'

Although she had the silver ingots that Baekji had given her in her money pouch, she could not use them comfortably.

Since it was Baekji's money, they had to eat together.

As Mado was pacing in front of the room, a group of people rushed in.

Those who were rushing in without restraint flinched when they saw Mado.

The cold ki emanating from Mado's entire body was not ordinary.

A large man in front of the group said, "By any chance, is the Young Alliance Leader here?"

Mado did not even give the large man a glance.

"Ahem... to not even answer when I have shown courtesy. How rude."

Mado's cold gaze turned to the large man.

At the gaze that seemed to squeeze his heart, the large man unknowingly flinched.

'What is it? This woman?'

The luxurious palace attire came into his eyes.

The large man, thinking that her status was not ordinary, cupped his fists.

"I am Wang Qishan, the leader of the Five Elite Squads of the Martial Alliance's inner hall. I have come with a message for the Young Alliance Leader."

"..."

Mado had no intention of answering.

As the silence lengthened, Wang Qishan was about to open his mouth again, but another group of warriors entered.

"Leader Ohsang?"

A sturdy man who was leading the way recognized Wang Qishan.

Wang Qishan's brow furrowed.

"What brings the leader of Iron Blood Unit here?"

The person who had appeared was Xiong Yangqian, the leader of the outer hall's main force, the Iron Blood Unit.

Xiong Yangqian, smiled and said, "It seems Leader Wang has also come to see the Alliance Leader's disciple. Is he still sleeping?"

Xiong Yangqian, who was looking at the room where Baekji was staying, met Mado's eyes.

His heart turned cold at the cold gaze.

"That person... who is she?"

"I don't know either."

As the two were hesitating about what to do, this time a sturdy old man and an old Taoist priest in a blue robe entered.

Wang Qishan and Xiong Yangqian stepped aside and cupped their fists.

"We greet Elder Peng, the Left Chief Elder."

"We greet Elder Hyunjin, the Right Chief Elder."

The Left Chief Elder of the Elder's Hall, Peng Yu, and the Right Chief Elder, Hyunjin, had appeared together.

"What brings you here?"

At Peng Yu's question, Wang Qishan answered, "I have come under the order of the head of the inner hall."

Peng Yu, as if he understood, nodded and said, "Go back. The Elder's Hall will meet the Alliance Leader's disciple first."

"I have not come to see him. I will just deliver the invitation and return."

Wang Qishan stood his ground, as if he could not retreat like this.

"Hmph!"

Peng Yu snorted and was about to head to Baekji's guest room, but his eyes met Mado's.

"...!"

Peng Yu properly recognized Mado's ki.

He unknowingly put his hand on the hilt of the saber at his waist.

Mado's gaze turned to Peng Yu's saber.

"...!"

At the sudden cold chill, Hyunjin hurriedly stretched out his hand and stopped Peng Yu, and then cupped his fists towards Mado.

"Lady warrior, who are you to be guarding the guest room of the Honored One Yang?"

"..."

Mado's gaze swept over Hyunjin and Peng Yu, and then Wang Qishan and Xiong Yangqian in turn.

Then she finally opened her mouth.

"You guys, what are you? Why are you loitering around another's room since morning?"

At the arrogant tone, Peng Yu was about to step forward in anger, but just then, Nangong Zhao entered.

Nangong Zhao, who had suffered internal injuries last night, had a pale complexion, and the area under his eyes was dark.

Although he was injured, he had come to call Baekji after handling the aftermath without even resting.

Nangong Zhao, seeing the people gathered in front of Baekji's guest room, knew what was going on.

The head of the inner hall, Gao Peili, and the head of the outer hall, Qiu Xing, were those who dreamed of becoming the next Alliance Leader.

The Elder's Hall, for its part, was scheming to control the Alliance.

So it was important to win the Alliance Leader's disciple over to their side.

Nangong Zhao bowed to Peng Yu and Hyunjin and then said to Mado, "Is the Honored One still sleeping?"

"I don't know. Is he always such a late sleeper?"

When Nangong Zhao pretended to know the cold woman, Hyunjin quietly asked, "Do you know that lady warrior? What is her name?"

"I don't know her name, I only know her moniker."

"You know her moniker?"

"Yes. You know Mado, right? The second in the ranking of the top ten masters. That's her."

Peng Yu and Hyunjin's complexions changed.

Only a few people in the Alliance Leader's office knew that the Alliance Leader had confined Mado in the back mountain.

For Mado, who was rumored to be mysterious among the top ten masters, to be in this place.

It was an unexpected event for the two of them.

"Keo-heum. Heo-eok. Keum..."

Peng Yu could not hide his flustered expression and kept clearing his throat.

Mado's hand was faster than her words...

He almost died.

Wang Qishan and Xiong Yangqian almost had a heart attack.

'What, the top ten masters are his escorts?'

The status of the Alliance Leader's disciple suddenly seemed great.

"I'll go and wake him."

Nangong Zhao went to the door and knocked.

"Honored One Yang!"

No matter how much he knocked, there was no answer.

Nangong Zhao opened the door.

There was no one there.

The window leading outside was open.

'He's escaped.'

Nangong Zhao smiled bitterly.

There was no way that Baekji did not know about the commotion that had happened outside.

'But why is he avoiding it?'

Nangong Zhao tilted his head.

* * *

Baekji was sitting at an outdoor table at a narrow alley noodle shop.

He had woken up when Wang Qishan had appeared.

When even Nangong Zhao had come, he had escaped through the window, had jumped over a few roofs, and the place he had landed was this alley.

Since he was here, he had ordered noodles and was waiting.

'Hmm. I should have just beaten them up... to have run away while trying to create an atmosphere...'

To have missed the Blood Fiend... his pride was cracked.

He was embarrassed.

"Sigh."

As he was sighing, someone hit the back of his head.
