Sword God Reborn

Chapter 302 : Now it's getting interesting

A bloody wind blew.

It was not a metaphorical expression. Blood and flesh were rampant.

"Krrrk!"

"Oops, the sword keeps slipping."

"Keoheok!"

"Is it possessed by a ghost? The sword is moving on its own."

The sight of Cheon Mubaeck, who was steadily cutting down the demonic people while spouting nonsense, was beyond dumbfounding and was bewildering. The Huashan and Jongnam martial artists were frozen, not knowing what to do in the sudden situation.

"What, what on earth is this..."

Even Gukbo, with a bewildered face, did not know what to do and could not make a judgment on the major incident that was happening in the demonic people's camp.

If even those who were watching the situation from a relatively far distance were like that, how would the demonic people, whose necks were falling and whose blood was splattering right in front of them, feel?

"St, stop him! He's a spy from the orthodox path!"

"Oh, what a disappointing thing to say. Can't you see the demonic qi on the tip of my sword?"

The pupils of the demonic person who had been screaming shook violently.

What was faintly blooming at the tip of Cheon Mubaeck's sword was demonic qi.

Of course, if you looked closely, you could find something heterogeneous, but could you look closely in a situation like this?

In any case, it was clearly demonic qi.

The confusion on the faces of the demonic people, who had thought that a spy from the orthodox path who had infiltrated had revealed his vicious fangs, was aggravated.

What was this? A betrayal? Had a demonic person sided with the orthodox path?

"Demonic arts...! How can a demonic person... the same demonic person...!"

"It was a mistake, a mistake. You can slip while using a sword."

"Damn it! How can you slip and cleanly cut off the neck of your own side?"

The demonic person burst into a rage.

Cheon Mubaeck said with a straight face.

"I'm from the Mad Sect, the Mad Sect. Sometimes my head goes crazy and I want to see blood without realizing it. Please understand. It's because I'm a madman. Please understand. Huh?"

It was truly a mockery. The demonic people's faces turned pale. Yes, let's just say it was an absurd mistake that the sword had slipped.

Then the normal attack should not be a sword strike. The sword would have lost its power, and it would not be an attack that had put all its strength into swinging. It certainly looked that way. Without even stepping, his two legs were on the ground, and he was just swinging his sword.

But he couldn't block a single one.

Already four.

It was the number of demonic people who had fallen in a moment. As it happened, they were all the highest-ranking.

The leader, the second-in-command who would immediately take over the command if the leader died, and the next in line.

As the heads died one by one, leaving only a single scream, it was natural that the demonic people could not control their confusion.

In the meantime, Cheon Mubaeck's sword was swung once more. It was the demonic person of the fifth rank, the one who had just been shouting with a red face.

Seeing the sword that had suddenly cut through the space, he raised his sword with a miraculous reflex speed.

'I blocked it...!'

Joy filled the demonic person's face. I blocked it. Good, now if I just counterattack...

'Huh?'

But his body did not move. Although his head was clearly giving the order to stab with the sword.

His hand was still.

No, rather, it was slowly collapsing downwards.

Only then did he realize what had happened at the hot sensation he felt from his neck.

'I'm late.'

When he thought he had raised his sword and had blocked it, Cheon Mubaeck had already cut his neck and had retrieved his sword.

A realm that could not be followed with the eyes, and could not be grasped with the five senses, a truly unapproachable realm.

Was there such a person in the demonic path? If it was the Mad Sect, was it Cheongwangma? No, even that guy was not at this level.

The demonic person, at the last moment of his flickering life, barely remembered something.

'He's not a demonic person...'

Unfortunately, his voice did not come out.

Cheon Mubaeck glanced around.

Then he said in a dry voice without any emotion.

"Well, since I keep killing my comrades by mistake, I can't stay here. I think the madness has penetrated my brain, so I'll go and get treatment from a demonic doctor."

It was not just calm, it was outright shamelessness.

Cheon Mubaeck, who had spouted incomprehensible words as he pleased, left the place.

His lightness skill was so fast that he looked like a distant dot in an instant.

"..."

"..."

It felt as if a storm had swept through and then had become quiet as if nothing had happened.

Gukbo was suddenly awakened from his thoughts.

'The guys who just died, at best I could have handled two of them!'

The five strongest demonic people among them.

The five that Gukbo had been wary of were all dead. Coincidentally, the mysterious stranger had killed just those five.

As if he had known that he had been wary of the five.

'Was there a spy that the Righteous Alliance had infiltrated into the demonic path's camp?'

Such a question was natural. But it did not last long. The five demonic people were dead. Then the remaining demonic people were many in number, but they were guys who could be sufficiently attacked.

Gukbo shouted.

"Don't leave a single one of them alive!"

* * *

It had already been four days since Cheon Mubaeck had entered the demonic path's camp.

Surprisingly, it was not difficult.

Until now, hadn't the demonic people been causing battles simultaneously all over the Central Plains?

Such people were gathering in one place. Naturally, an opening was bound to be created. There were countless people who had gone missing and had died. It was no big deal to disguise himself as one of them and to infiltrate.

Of course, it was not easy to infiltrate because of the demonic qi unique to the demonic people.

If it were easy, the orthodox path would have mixed all their elite masters among the demonic people.

"..."

Zhuge Seol-ah made a strange expression at the demonic qi that was flowing from her whole body.

'What on earth is this...'

Zhuge Seol-ah trembled without realizing it at the demonic qi that was flowing from her body.

Of course, it wasn't that the demonic qi had penetrated her dantian.

'I don't know what kind of technique this is.'

It was a kind of disguise.

Zhuge Seol-ah was still using the orthodox heart method unique to the Zhuge Clan.

Naturally, the qi in her dantian was all pure.

It was the opposite of demonic qi.

But on the outside, it felt like demonic qi, and it was Cheon Mubaeck's skill.

"How does Young Master Cheon know the secret art that the Dark Heaven Sword Emperor was said to have used?"

To Zhuge Seol-ah, who was curious, Cheon Mubaeck had dismissed it, saying it was the secret art of the Dark Heaven Sword Emperor.

It was a clear rudeness to ask more about another person's secret art, so she could not even ask how he had obtained it.

'Yes, that's not what's important right now.'

Whether it was Cheon Mubaeck or Zhuge Seol-ah, it was easy to disguise themselves as demonic people because demonic qi was faintly felt on the outside.

But to enter the demonic path's camp and to move freely was another story.

No matter how sloppy they were, the leaders of the demonic path were not that easy.

A thorough background check would follow. Which sect they were from, which demonic art they had learned, and under whom they had fought and where they had gathered.

But there was no problem.

"Although it is a sect that has shrunk to a shabby state, the history of it once being one of the Seven Demonic Orders is clear, so I am grateful for my origin. Young Lady."

"Ah, Jang No. You've come."

Zhuge Seol-ah, who had been awakened from her thoughts, hurriedly bowed her head.

Jang No approached with a pleased smile.

"Thanks to you, I was able to enter safely. I can still move without any restrictions."

"I am just faithfully following the Young Master's plan."

With the guarantee of Jang No, a skilled person of the Sword Sect of the Seven Demonic Orders, the background check was also easily passed.

Although it was a shrunken Sword Sect, wasn't it a Sword Sect that had returned to the embrace of the demonic path with the official recognition of the Blood Demon Valley, including the Ghost Demon and the Blood Buddha?

Because of its history of once being one of the Seven Demonic Orders, even if they felt uneasy about the Sword Sect, they could not dare to ignore it.

The fact that Jang No had come here was also Cheon Mubaeck's arrangement.

"I don't see Young Master Cheon."

"He went out with the demonic people with his sword earlier. I heard it's a place where a battle with the Jongnam martial artists is taking place."

"He went out to the field again..."

As a look of worry appeared on Zhuge Seol-ah's face, Jang No smiled without realizing it.

Zhuge Seol-ah knew well how strong Cheon Mubaeck was, and his unapproachable realm.

But Jang No felt a certain satisfaction at the sight of Zhuge Seol-ah, who was always worried.

"Don't worry, Young Lady. As it has been until now, there will be no problem. The more the Young Master is active, the more the orthodox path martial artists will survive."

"Yes, I know. So I have to finish my work quickly."

"Is there any progress?"

"Umm, it's still difficult, but I can see a possibility."

Zhuge Seol-ah had started one task after entering the demonic path's camp.

It was the work of installing a Qimen formation in various places of the camp.

It was a mission that required great effort.

Although she was installing formations in various places, these were not separate formations that exerted their effects separately.

Because it was a Qimen formation where dozens, hundreds of formations became one and exerted their effect, she could not neglect a single one and had to exert her maximum concentration.

Moreover, hadn't she only heard of it in literature, and had not even thought that she could actually succeed?

"I don't know how Young Master Cheon knows such a formation."

"Didn't he say it was a formation that Elder Yakseon had passed on?"

"Still... from the secret art of the Dark Heaven Sword Emperor to this formation. It feels like he knows everything."

Although he had explained that the source of the formation was Yakseon, who was staying at the Cheongseong Escort Agency, it was not easy for Zhuge Seol-ah to accept.

"If this one thing is completed, the fight may end easily."

"That's why the Young Master is moving so diligently."

In the current situation, Huashan and Jongnam were in danger of collapsing before the orthodox path could gather.

Although the demonic people were united under the name of the Heavenly Demon, the orthodox path was not.

Although the Sword Saint, including the Righteous Alliance and the Five Great Clans, had just arrived, even if Jongnam and Huashan were to fight together, weren't they moving separately?

In a situation like this, the demonic path was clearly overwhelming the orthodox path.

Here, Cheon Mubaeck was stepping forward in every scene where the orthodox path was collapsing and was turning the balance back.

The orthodox path had to hold out without collapsing.

Until the formation that Zhuge Seol-ah was preparing now was completed.

"Before Young Master Cheon gets into more danger, I have to make it as soon as possible."

Zhuge Seol-ah strengthened her will. But Jang No smiled bitterly inwardly.

Jang No knew.

It wasn't just that he was balancing the situation so that the orthodox path wouldn't be pushed back and was buying time.

Just as the orthodox path was continuing to gather, the demonic path was also gathering now.

The proud Heavenly Demon had not yet shown himself.

Perhaps...

'He's buying time until all the demonic people of the world gather in one place. Because the orthodox path must not collapse before all the demonic people gather.'

Rather, in Jang No's eyes, it seemed as if Cheon Mubaeck was deliberately waiting until all the demonic path had gathered.

Until the Heavenly Demon and all. Until the moment they all gathered.

At that moment.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!

As the violent sound of the bell continued to flow out, the demonic people began to gather.

Jang No also looked around with a serious expression.

Although they had gathered and had fought several times until now, the atmosphere now was quite different.

Jang No's eyes widened at the news that was soon delivered.

"The Sword Saint is leading the heads of the Five Great Clans and the elites? Hey, you, get your sword and come out. The Short-Lived King is taking command in person."

The sight of the demonic people rushing out was extremely ominous.

Jang No also held his sword with a hardened face.

"No, Jang No, you stay here."

At that moment, Cheon Mubaeck's voice was suddenly heard.

Cheon Mubaeck, who had just arrived, looked at Zhuge Seol-ah and said.

"Young Lady, please continue your work. Jang No will stay by your side. I'll have to go out there."

"Young Master, will you be alright? If the Sword Saint and the heads of the Five Great Clans come out, a suitable opponent from this side will also go out. It could be dangerous. Because it will be a fierce battle."

"That's why I have to go."

Cheon Mubaeck smiled as if he were amused.

"Now it's getting interesting, I can't miss it."
