Sword God Reborn

Chapter 285 : Back out if you're scared

Now it was time to move.

After blocking the Blood Buddha's attack, there were no attacks aimed at Henan.

According to the information that came through the demons of the Sword Sect, the Blood Demon Valley was in a state of chaos.

The disappearance of the Blood Buddha and the Ghost Demon.

However, they would probably guess that it was not a disappearance, but a death.

Although the next in line, the Three-Star and the Four-Star, were certainly strong demonic people, they did not have the leadership of the Blood Buddha and the Ghost Demon.

The Blood Buddha and the Ghost Demon.

The two were practically seventy percent of the total force.

The Three-Star and the Four-Star were too busy trying to get the Blood Demon Valley back in order to even think of touching Henan.

'At this rate, the Blood Demon Valley will probably be reduced to a subordinate organization of the foreign demonic path.'

The Blood Buddha and the Ghost Demon were the great elders of the Demonic Cult, and the masters of the Blood Sect and the Dark Sect.

Without these two, the Blood Demon Valley would have no choice but to have a weak voice in the entire demonic path.

'So I don't have to worry about the Blood Demon Valley's attack.'

It was difficult for the Blood Demon Valley to attack Henan on its own.

In the adjacent Shaanxi Province, the two pillars of the Nine Sects One Faction, Huashan and Jongnam, were firmly preparing their martial artists.

Moreover, Shaolin was firm in Henan.

'Shaolin, which has regained its past glory.'

Shaolin, who had heard the news that Cheon Mubaeck had returned to the Cheongseong Escort Agency, had come to meet him.

Cheon Mubaeck, who had observed the faces of the Shaolin martial artists, including the head of the Arhat Hall, was inwardly pleased.

Their eyes, which had properly learned the Shaolin peerless techniques that had been forgotten, were brilliant, and their presence was profound.

The roof of the martial world that protected the martial world from rain, lightning, snow, and hail.

Cheon Mubaeck was very reassured at the sight of Shaolin, which had regained its past glory.

If they were attacked in Henan, they would by no means just stand by.

Their home was Henan, and the relationship between Shaolin and the Cheongseong Escort Agency had become very strong.

Even if Cheon Mubaeck left his post to fight the demonic path, Shaolin would surely protect the escort agency so that he would not have to worry about the safety of the Cheongseong Escort Agency.

'The help of the Cheongseong Escort Agency, no, to be precise, they will repay the favor because they have received my help.'

Of course, to be precise, the guest escort, Yakseon, had been a great help.

'Well, that's me helping them.'

In fact, Shaolin felt that they had received a great favor from Cheon Mubaeck.

Not only the high-ranking officials of Shaolin, but also the young monks who made up the absolute majority of Shaolin, enthusiastically supported Cheon Mubaeck.

No, in fact, it was difficult to even describe it as 'support'.

Although Yoo Baek-gi was also present,

When Cheon Mubaeck appeared, it was not just support, but a gaze as if they were looking up at a great sky.

"It seems a Buddha has descended upon my master's body."

Was it to the extent that even Yoo Baek-gi would say such a thing?

Cheon Mubaeck was also quite flustered. Although he had saved Shaolin and had had them protected while they regained their past glory through Yakseon.

To think that those young monks would cherish that favor so deeply in their bones?

Cheon Mubaeck, who had become curious, had stealthily asked, but he had no choice but to sigh at the following answer.

"This humble monk clearly saw the Unhindered Bright Light that day."

"The light that burns the darkness and saves the persecuted common people. What else could it be but the Unhindered Bright Light?"

"Great Hero, since the Abbot has said that a Buddha has descended upon the Great Hero's heart, it is the Buddha's provision that we humble monks consider the Great Hero as the Unhindered Bright Light Tathagata."

No, the Unhindered Bright Light. That's just the Gwigok Gwang-ae. It's just a somewhat unique protective qi.

Cheon Mubaeck, looking at the sparkling eyes of the young monks, found it difficult to hide his embarrassed expression.

If it were a divine general mentioned in Buddhism, it would be a different story.

In fact, wasn't the moniker of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Hero also a word that came from the Eight Legions of Devas and Nagas?

Although it was quite a burden to be compared to the incomprehensible existence of a divine general.

The young monks, clearly remembering Cheon Mubaeck's breaking of the demonic people while emitting the halo of the Gwigok Gwang-ae in the past, did not think of him as the Unhindered Bright Light Tathagata, that is, Amitabha Buddha. A Buddha.

"To think I would become a living Buddha in my life."

"It's a good thing. With the enthusiastic support of Shaolin, which is regaining its past glory, we will be able to firmly grasp the victory, just like we did forty years ago."

Yoo Baek-gi laughed cheerfully as he saw the embarrassed Cheon Mubaeck.

Cheon Mubaeck glared at that annoying face.

In front of Shaolin, he had shown the appearance of a profound martial world master. But in front of him, he had somehow become as immature as he had been in the past.

"Anyway, it's about time to move. I don't have to worry about the safety of my family."

Not only Shaolin's protection, but Yakseon also remained at the Cheongseong Escort Agency.

Yakseon, who had received a one-sided notification, not a recommendation or a request, sighed.

"To think I've been thoroughly caught at this age. I was doing the Shaolin Temple guard duty, which was not in my fate, and now I'm the head escort of an escort agency..."

Cheon Mubaeck made a serious face as he saw the lamenting Yakseon.

"It's a promotion. From a guest escort to a formal escort contract, and then a high-speed promotion to the head escort. Where in the world is there such a promotion?"

"Haha... hahaha. Sword Venerable. Is your fellow sect member originally like that? Originally, his manners..."

"Don't you know well whose sword he has inherited?"

"Anyway, that eccentric old man, the Azure Sky Sword God, is tormenting me even after he has died and has become a ghost."

"If it were my master, he would be tormenting you alive, not as a ghost."

"That's also terrible. If that crazy guy, the Azure Sky Sword God, were alive, I would have left the martial world."

Cheon Mubaeck made a dumbfounded expression at the backbiting that was happening in front of his eyes.

Even if it were Yakseon, that Yoo Baek-gi... he had said he respected his master infinitely.

As he gradually got used to it, the past appearance that was faintly visible was no different from his own disciple.

"Anyway, I'll be counting on you. Elder Yakseon."

"Sigh. Don't worry. The demonic path guys won't even be able to set foot in the escort agency. The formation installed here is quite excellent. I've taken a look at it."

The simplified Sugagimun-do installed by Zhuge Seol-ah and the formation masters of the Zhuge Clan had been enhanced by Yakseon's skill.

It had now progressed to a very unique form of formation that could not be seen as the Sugagimun-do of the Zhuge Clan.

Cheon Mubaeck, who had looked into it, also clicked his tongue.

"Probably even a monster like the Ghost Demon or the Blood Buddha won't be able to break through."

Unless it was that unidentified Heavenly Demon.

"If it's the Heavenly Mad Demon, well."

"Is the Heavenly Mad Demon stronger than the Blood Buddha?"

Cheon Mubaeck tilted his head.

Cheon Mubaeck also knew the Heavenly Mad Demon well. Because he had been quite active as a middle-ranking elder even forty years ago.

Rather, the Blood Buddha's presence was more impressive.

Because it was a potential that even Cheon Mubaeck had been wary of.

Moreover, even in a state of having an internal injury while being pursued by Yoo Baek-gi, wasn't he to the extent that he was not pushed back so much by Cheon Mubaeck?

On the other hand, the Heavenly Mad Demon forty years ago was not a person who had caught Cheon Mubaeck's eye.

"Rather than being stronger than the Blood Buddha in terms of martial power, should I say it's his mental strength?"

"Mental strength?"

"So, if the Blood Buddha were to enter this eccentric Sugagimun-do, he would sense the danger, judge, and if he thought it was not right, he would pull his foot out."

"That's right. Because he's a rather cunning fellow."

"But the Heavenly Mad Demon doesn't do that."

"Is he a foolish fellow?"

"No. He's smart. How can the leader of one of the Seven Demonic Orders be just strong? He has to be smart too. He's smart. His ability to judge situations is also extraordinary. But he doesn't avoid it like the Blood Buddha. Rather, he's a guy who would come into the Sugagimun-do with a smile."

"Huh?"

"He'll just dig in like a crazy person. While dealing with all the situations and variables with his whole body, he'll judge and analyze the new situations moment by moment and create a path forward."

"Is he that kind of guy?"

"Yes. He's a crazy person without a doubt. He's probably a guy who would just clash with even the fires of hell with a smile."

"He's a troublesome guy."

He might be lacking in martial power compared to the Blood Buddha.

But his nature was extremely troublesome.

Even while ramming in like a crazy person, it was by no means foolish. He was cunning and genius enough to closely respond to the variables that changed moment by moment and to come up with a plan.

The Heavenly Mad Demon.

Cheon Mubaeck frowned.

"This is why I hate crazy people."

Does he hate them because they are of the same kind?

Yoo Baek-gi endured the words in his heart with a desperate patience and changed the subject.

"Then where will you move from?"

"From the remnants of the Blood Demon Valley."

"It is your intention to prevent them from being absorbed by the foreign demonic path."

Indeed, Yoo Baek-gi quickly understood Cheon Mubaeck's intention.

"That's right. The Ghost Demon is now a fallen man. Since he was caught as a hostage by me, his authority has fallen, and his direct subordinates who followed him have all disappeared."

So he needed a force.

But that force should not just be the Ghost Demon's.

The remaining remnants of the Blood Demon Valley.

Among them, there was a force that Cheon Mubaeck had infiltrated, aiming for this time.

"The Ghost Demon is just a figurehead. The real thing is the Sword Sect."

"The Sword Sect..."

"The demonic path I will create must be on a different level from the existing demonic path. The Sword Sect, which worships only martial arts and the sword, does not have the color of their religion."

"The Ghost Demon then..."

"You can't build a demonic path force by putting forward the Sword Sect, which has almost no influence in the demonic path."

"It means you will absorb the remnants of the Blood Demon Valley with the Ghost Demon and consolidate your forces."

"Yes. Before the Blood Demon Valley is reduced to a subordinate organization of the foreign demonic path, I have to eat it. I can't let anyone eat my food."

Although he did not know how the Blood Demon Valley had become Cheon Mubaeck's food, Yoo Baek-gi nodded.

The Ghost Demon was just a bait. To absorb the remnants of the Blood Demon Valley.

"So you're planning to catch the tail of the Blood Demon Valley remnants and go all the way up."

"Yes."

"Will you catch the Heavenly Mad Demon, Master?"

"As I said before, there is no change."

"Then I will catch the Heavenly Demon."

Cheon Mubaeck flinched for a moment.

The Heavenly Demon.

According to Yoo Baek-gi's words and the information he had gathered so far, he was stronger than the previous Heavenly Demon, Gun Cheon-ak.

The inhuman realm.

The realm of 'something' that had surpassed a human, which they called the Azure Sky Sword God.

That was how they had described the current Heavenly Demon's realm.

Cheon Mubaeck quietly looked at Yoo Baek-gi.

His enlightenment and the depth of his realm were certainly comparable to the Azure Sky Sword God.

No, in a certain part, he had definitely surpassed him by pioneering his own sword.

Although he was very proud of that fact, Cheon Mubaeck could not help but be concerned.

"With a body that has gone against heaven?"

Cheon Mubaeck's voice became extremely hard. Yoo Baek-gi, who had realized that a hint of pity had seeped into that hardness, smiled faintly.

"My going against heaven was just a mission of the era. I just couldn't just watch as the sky took my life, with the demonic path in front of me."

"Do you think I don't know your body's condition? In your current state, you will die."

"It is a body that should have died when I went against heaven."

"Baek-gi."

"Master."

Yoo Baek-gi looked at Cheon Mubaeck with a gaze that contained a firm will.

"In this world, the person who knows the Heavenly Demon the best is me."

It was a firm tone, as if not to allow any room for rebuttal.

Well, it was true.

Because he was a fellow who had fought constantly while clashing the most in the foreign lands.

Hadn't the orthodox martial world in the Central Plains thought that the current Heavenly Demon was still Gun Cheon-ak?

That was the same for Cheon Mubaeck.

"So I will catch him. Are you planning to make me an unworthy disciple who cannot even carry out my master's will?"

"Ah, I said that's not a will."

"Even if it's not a will, I can't let my old master work."

Cheon Mubaeck let out a hollow laugh mixed with a bitter smile.

"...Well, you're so stubborn."

"How can it be as stubborn as you, Master?"

"Then let's do this."

"What?"

"The person who encounters him first will strike him."

"To think you would make a bet with the Heavenly Demon as the stake..."

"Back out if you're scared."

"...Let's do it."

Cheon Mubaeck chuckled.

To think they would make a bet on who would catch the Heavenly Demon. If someone had seen this scene, they would have let out a hollow laugh because it was so ridiculous.

But if the Heavenly Demon had been watching this bet, he would have surely been terrified.

The number one of all time and the number one under heaven of the previous generation, the Azure Sky Sword God, and.

The number one under heaven of the current generation, the Sword Venerable.

Because the two strongest people were making a bet with him as the stake.
