The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 170 : Towards the Honey Pot (6)

"In the Three-Strike Boundary, only one-on-one is observed."

At the Red Heaven Lord's continuing words, no one here could even open their mouths.

The given opportunity is only three times.

The absolute law that if you fail, you will face death.

These facts were enough to make the people here shrink back.

"For your information, my specialty is hand-to-hand combat."

He, who had let go of his sword, suddenly took off his upper garment. Then, a masterpiece that looked as if a sculptor had created it with all his heart was revealed.

"You must have heard of it. The 'Vajra Indestructible Body'."

The Red Heaven Lord had originally come close to the Vajra Indestructible Body, but had not reached it. However, he was able to supplement the gentle part he lacked by plundering the body of the Wudang Divine Sword with the Great Reversal of Heaven Art.

The Vajra Indestructible Body was not a realm that could be achieved just by being hard.

The coexistence of the strong and the gentle.

That was the optimal condition to reach the Vajra Indestructible Body.

And now, the Divine Monk was glimpsing the Vajra Indestructible Body that the Red Heaven Lord had achieved through his enlightenment.

"Amitabha."

The Red Heaven Lord's body, reflected in the Divine Monk's eyes, was a huge iron gong. And that iron gong had a form of a kind he had never seen before. It was a solid, but its end was flowing like water. It felt as if a soft impact would be washed away by a liquid-like form, and a strong impact would be received by a hard, solid-like form.

He couldn't see a way to break that iron gong.

Just then, the Sword Empress stepped forward.

"I will try."

The Divine Monk nodded. Because here, there was no one who could surpass her with a sword, except for Eun Ga-young.

At this, everyone agreed in silence.

Eun Ga-young was also included in that.

In the midst of the lingering tension, the Sword Empress stepped forward and asked.

"Will you not counterattack?"

"Of course. Because it is the law that I only defend in the Three-Strike Boundary."

"Then I can attack with a light heart."

The Sword Empress took her stance.

The opponent really did not take any stance to attack.

He was just crossing his arms and preparing to block.

Such a Sword Empress was also indirectly feeling how great the Vajra Indestructible Body that the opponent had completed was.

He had just crossed his arms, but no opening was visible.

The Sword Empress put everything she had achieved so far into her sword.

She believed that there was nothing in this world that could not be cut.

She drew a perfect sword path in her mind. And she projected that into reality.

Finally, a single sword path was visible.

It was similar to a boundary, but also something different.

If a boundary was a technique that had achieved the internal harmony of yin and yang to the extreme, then the Sword Empress's technique now was a technique that had achieved the external element of a form to the extreme.

Art (藝).

The Sword Empress's two eyes sink like the great sea.

The Red Heaven Lord, in front of her, feels a fear of something he has never seen before.

The fear that comes from the unknown.

At the same time, he strongly believed that his Vajra Indestructible Body would not be broken.

'It's coming.'

The Sword Empress lightly takes a step.

All the subsequent movements were as natural as water flowing.

Slice!

The Sword Empress's arm went down completely.

The Red Heaven Lord looked at his raised arm.

The moment the blow reached, a creepy feeling washed over his chest, but he could tell by directly facing it.

That that was still an incomplete technique.

"A pity."

If that technique had been completed, the result might have been different.

But the one who had won now was him.

"With this, only two chances remain."

The Sword Empress returns to her Shaolin Temple's camp.

"I'm sorry."

The Sword Empress apologized lowly.

But everyone here knew.

That the cut the Sword Empress had shown just now was more perfect than anything they had ever seen.

That even if they stood in that position, they would not be able to perform something more perfect than what the Sword Empress had shown.

But in the end, the Sword Empress had failed, and only two chances remained.

People's gazes naturally gathered on the three.

Because the only people who had even a slight chance of breaking the Red Heaven Lord's Vajra Indestructible Body, except for the Sword Empress, were the Divine Monk, Eun Ga-young, and Murong Seryeong.

Murong Seryeong, although she was angry, declared her surrender.

"I'll step back. Honestly, I don't think I can perform a more perfect swordsmanship than my master."

Everyone nodded.

At this, the gazes naturally narrowed down to two people.

"Amitabha."

The Divine Monk had been looking for a way to attack the Vajra Indestructible Body using his enlightenment since a while ago.

Although the Vajra Indestructible Body had shaken slightly when the Sword Empress's cut had reached the Red Heaven Lord's body just now, that was all.

Even if he did it, the result didn't seem to be much different.

"Then, shall I step forward?"

At this time, Eun Ga-young expressed her confidence.

The Divine Monk knew that Eun Ga-young was a Heavenly Martial Body and at the same time the Heavenly Emperor's disciple.

"Can you do it?"

At the Divine Monk's question, Eun Ga-young answered.

"Honestly, I'm not confident, but if someone has to step forward here, it's only me. And even if I'm lucky and defeat the Red Heaven Lord, someone has to stay behind and face Yong Ma-pae. That's what you have to do, Divine Monk."

"Amitabha."

With the Divine Monk's Buddhist prayer, Eun Ga-young stood in front of the Red Heaven Lord.

"The second one is you. Disciple of the Heavenly Emperor."

"The Vajra Indestructible Body is a body of legend. It's my first time seeing it in person."

"What are your thoughts?"

"Honestly, I'm in awe that a human body can reach such a realm."

"Hehehe. Now! Come at me."

"Alright."

If the Sword Empress had shown a new technique called art, then Eun Ga-young showed a boundary that everyone knew.

Eun Ga-young instinctively knew that she could not cut the Vajra Indestructible Body in front of her no matter what she did now.

But she also could not perform a cut with a higher degree of completion than what the Sword Empress had shown just now.

A character appeared in Eun Ga-young's two eyes.

The character for full (滿).

If the Sword Empress had compressed everything into a single point in her technique to cut what could not be cut, then what Eun Ga-young was trying to do now was not to cut the Vajra Indestructible Body, but to cut the boundary itself.

Because if she cut the boundary, even if she couldn't cut the Vajra Indestructible Body, the law of the Three-Strike Boundary would be broken.

Eun Ga-young raised her sword.

Her sword soon cut through the empty space.

Slice!

A huge cut that could be seen at a glance swept through the space.

Eun Ga-young, gasping for breath, opened her eyes wide.

The Red Heaven Lord was laughing lowly.

"The change of thought was good, but do you think I wouldn't have prepared for such a basic thing? The Three-Strike Boundary also has a strength that rivals the Vajra Indestructible Body. Now! Only the last chance remains. If you fail this time, the disciples of the Sword Empress and the Heavenly Emperor will surely face death."

In the current situation, if the Sword Empress and Eun Ga-young died, Shaolin Temple would be as good as over.

On the contrary, even if the Divine Monk stepped forward to break the Three-Strike Boundary, the result seemed to be the same. In the end, if the Divine Monk failed, even the Divine Monk would face death.

The most optimal choice here was to sacrifice one person and to kill the Red Heaven Lord before he could spread the next Three-Strike Boundary.

And to execute this, the Divine Monk had to survive at all costs.

"I'll do it."

Murong Seryeong volunteered. Everyone knew that she was trying to sacrifice herself.

The Divine Monk could not just watch the sacrifice of a junior martial artist. Anyway, if he failed this time, Shaolin would be over as well.

"No. I will do it."

"But it's for a slightly better future for me to do it..."

The Divine Monk cut Murong Seryeong's words in the middle.

He said, with a low Buddhist prayer.

"Amitabha. As a senior of the martial world, I don't want to feel any more shame. And if someone has to survive, it's better for you, who are a little younger, to survive than me, who is old."

The Red Heaven Lord, who was watching this, shouted.

"Haha! Just come at me, anyone! Because the result will be the same anyway."

The Divine Monk strode in front of the Red Heaven Lord.

"The Vajra Indestructible Body you have achieved is nothing more than a fake. Because it is not what you have achieved, but what you have stolen from others."

"Hehehe. So what? No matter what the method is, isn't it enough to just reach it!"

"Amitabha. An extreme reached through a wicked method! Your arrogance pierces the heavens!"

Enlightenment had told him a way to break the Vajra Indestructible Body at the last moment.

But that was something he could not do.

No! Does a person who can do such a thing even exist in this world?

The method that enlightenment had told him was this.

To give a shock with a stronger force than the Vajra Indestructible Body.

Because a hard thing is broken by a harder thing.

The Divine Monk took a stance to perform the Hundred-Step Divine Fist, which was his maximum martial power.

The Red Heaven Lord, the moment he saw that, was convinced of his victory.

'He can't break my Vajra Indestructible Body with just that.'

On the contrary, if the Sword Empress's first blow had threatened him, he honestly did not feel much threat from the subsequent ones.

The moment the Divine Monk extends his fist, the three people in front will have their hearts stop and die immediately.

And Shaolin Temple will be erased from history.

"Tah!"

The Divine Monk, with a shout full of his all, extended his fist and then stopped in the middle.

"Oh! You're doing something interesting."

"That's right, older brother. I want to try it too."

"It's been a long time, everyone!"

The Divine Monk's eyes, which were turning to the side, widened to the point where they seemed to pop out.

"Y-Y-Y-You guys!!!"

This was not just the Divine Monk.

The people of the Righteous Faction trembled with a fear that had been engraved in their bodies and souls for a long time at the two people who had suddenly appeared.

In the midst of this, there was one person who was walking nonchalantly.

"J-Jae-ha?"

"Seryeong, you've worked hard. Ah! And the Rakshasa Divine Maiden too."

The man, as if he were on an outing, came to the Righteous Faction's camp and patted the Divine Monk's shoulder.

"If I subdue that, will you hand over Shaolin Temple to me?"

The Divine Monk slowly turned his head to the man who had patted his shoulder.

And the moment he saw, he could tell.

That the two people in front were also martial artists of a level that he could not dare to look down on.

Of course, because those two were the best under the heavens, who were said to have no rivals, spanning the current and former generations.

The Soul-Snatching Heavenly Demon, Hyuk Sa-wol.

The Mad World Heavenly Demon, Yoo Jin-sung.

But it was clearly different.

"Sword Emperor, you?"

Everyone now knew the identity of the Sword Emperor.

The fact that he was actually the young leader of the Divine Cult.

"If I catch that, Shaolin Temple will be subordinate to the Divine Cult. Of course, if you just listen to me well, I'll spare your lives."

What's the point of saying it?

That Shaolin Temple no longer has a choice.

"Alright."

Grin.

At Yoo Jae-ha's cool smile, the Divine Monk could not erase the anxiety in his heart.

"Be careful. The opponent has achieved the Vajra Indestructible Body."

"Oh! I thought he looked a bit hard."

He looks a bit hard? You're just expressing it like that after seeing that?

The Divine Monk somehow wanted to believe those words.

Yoo Jae-ha asked for the understanding of the two Heavenly Demons.

"Can I take care of that?"

Hyuk Sa-wol answered.

"If it were someone else, I would have broken their limbs and destroyed their dantian for the crime of daring to take my turn, but if our young leader says he will do it, I will specially concede."

Yoo Jin-sung continued.

"A backroom old man should just watch. And I'm also curious. How he will handle that."

Yoo Jae-ha suddenly stood in front of the Red Heaven Lord.

The Red Heaven Lord was surprised by the sudden appearance of the three, but he soon regained his composure. He had the confidence that no matter who the opponent was, they would not be able to break his Vajra Indestructible Body.

"Interesting. To dare to express my Vajra Indestructible Body as 'that'. This is the last chance of the Three-Strike Boundary. If you fail, you will die immediately."

"Oh! I'm a little scared."

"Are you being arrogant in a situation like this? If it's a stratagem of feigning weakness, it's truly ridiculous."

"By the way, are you really the Vajra Indestructible Body?"

"Hehehe. Are you scared now?"

"Maybe so."

Honestly, even Yoo Jae-ha thought that if the opponent were really the legendary Vajra Indestructible Body, his attack might not work.

However, there was a way to counter the law of the Three-Strike Boundary.

Because you just have to nullify the boundary itself.

Or you can arbitrarily add a second law to the boundary.

Yoo Jae-ha thought lightly.

'For now, let's try it, and if it doesn't work, let's think slowly.'

A technique that he was using for the first time in the martial world, and for the first time against someone.

Therefore, he was not sure how much power it had.

Yoo Jae-ha first combined yin and yang into one.

Then, the Taegeuk was born from yin and yang.

What Yoo Jae-ha wanted was after this.

The four symbols were born from the Taegeuk.

Yoo Jae-ha drew out the power of the sun among the four symbols.

A single sphere that was burning red at a glance was formed in his hand.

The Red Heaven Lord, seeing that, was engulfed in an unknown fear.

'Huh?'

Yoo Jae-ha gently extended the sphere towards the Red Heaven Lord.

"W-Wait a minute!"

The Red Heaven Lord tried to buy time, but Yoo Jae-ha's movement did not stop. Finally, the sphere reached the Red Heaven Lord.

At that moment, the Red Heaven Lord burned and turned into a single ash.

"Huh?"

Yoo Jae-ha, seeing that, scratched his head and then turned back and asked the many people who were looking at him.

"Is that really the Vajra Indestructible Body? It seems like a lie!”
