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

Chapter 67 : The Gansu Province Battle (3)

After my regression, my life was a series of reversals.

It was like that during the Blood Demon's visit, which I had expected to pass quietly, and it was like that during the Divine Demon Tournament, which I had firmly believed I would never participate in, and it was like that this time as well.

I had even thought that I might be cursed.

Otherwise, things would never have happened in the exact opposite way of what I had intended.

But as it turned out, some sons of bitches had been interfering in the middle.

Was it you? No! Was it you guys?

You, who are turning your head left and right, pretending to be stupid!

You, whose pupils are trembling even though you're trying to calm down!

You, who are suddenly hiccuping!

Yes! It's you!

Phew... the time has come to set things right.

There was a time when I, too, was a person who had lightly taken on one of the axes of evil. Do they think I'm a pushover just because I'm living quietly!

This is why people have to make a loud noise once in a while, and if there's someone who doesn't listen, they have to lightly touch their cheek, and if there's someone who gets on their nerves, they have to say goodbye to a few of their teeth, and if there's someone who annoys them, they have to cut off one of their arms, and if there's a disgusting person, they have to cut off their head.

If you don't want to be treated like a pushover in the martial world, you have to act before you get hit.

I really didn't want to bring out my old habits while reincarnating, but I think I've been living a little too nicely.

Looking down from the roof, I said.

"Finally, everyone has gathered."

Anyone can see that it's a villainous tone.

As if I had been waiting for this moment.

The advantage of a cell organization was that they didn't know each other. And the disadvantage was that they didn't know each other.

As someone who had once been proudly called a demon, a devil, a demon king, etc., by the Orthodox Faction as the Young Lord of the Demonic Cult, I could confidently say that I knew better than anyone what the bastards who do despicable things are afraid of.

Getting caught!

I can guarantee that no one in this world, including the place where the sheep mask belongs, knows who the sheep mask is except for himself.

Because the guys who have something to hide always pretend to have something while hiding their identity.

That was his mistake.

And I knew the magical word of the place where the sheep mask belonged.

My heart began to pound for the first time in a long time at the sight that was about to unfold.

Just as the dead first elder had done.

I spread my arms wide and, with an arrogant and haughty voice, filled with internal energy, I did not shout frivolously, but said softly.

"Eat."

To be honest, I'm a little scared if it will go as expected.

At that moment, half of the hundreds of Heavenly Demon Cult troops below took out a familiar pill from their bosoms.

They put the pill into their mouths without a moment's hesitation.

And then they started screaming.

'Huh?'

I knew there would be some, but I didn't know there would be so many.

For now, it went according to plan.

Now! It's time to confirm the most important thing.

It didn't matter if everyone here was a member of the third force.

Only one person should never be.

If even the person I'm thinking of now belongs to their force, it could be said that there is no future for the martial world.

I quickly looked for my junior sister.

Fortunately, my junior sister was not reacting to my words at all.

She was just staring at me intensely, for some reason.

'It's not my junior sister!'

I immediately turned around.

If my prediction is correct, there must be their forces hidden in the Orthodox Faction as well.

And the prediction was exactly right.

However, the number was much smaller than that of the Heavenly Demon Cult.

I looked at the Mad Demon and the Sword Demoness.

Fortunately, the Mad Demon and the Sword Demoness were also not reacting at all.

What those who are screaming now have eaten is the suicide pill. In other words, the Liberation Pill.

It is a magical pill that explodes one's potential in an instant.

From now on, what I have to do is simple.

To ruin their plans.

What do they want most from the Gansu Province battle?

In the past, they had tried to kill me.

All this time, I had been wondering why they were trying to kill me.

The answer I finally found was that I had seemed like a genius to others more than I had thought.

I had won against Soma, who had learned the martial arts of the Blood Demon, and I had won the Divine Demon Tournament by defeating the Sura Cult's Young Lord, Yang So-pyeong, and later, I was called the Young Lord-designate of the Heavenly Demon Cult.

It was an achievement I had accomplished at the age of 15.

Anyone could see that the next master of the martial world was me.

Looking at it this way, I had been quite a show-off.

That's why they had tried to kill me.

Why?

Looking at their actions so far, I could see that they extremely disliked the appearance of those who were beyond their control.

That's why they had killed the previous Heavenly Demon in the past, and the Sword Emperor master, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Divine Monk.

The Sword Emperor master had died of natural causes... but there was a high possibility that they were involved in the part where he had lost his martial arts before that.

The old man should have told me everything when he was leaving. The Orthodox Faction people are so unfeeling, even though the character for 'jeong' (affection) is in their name.

Anyway, their such behavior was ongoing.

Their next target was the Rakshasa Divine Maiden, Eun Ga-yeong.

The unprecedented genius with the legendary Heavenly Martial Body and the successor who had inherited the martial arts of the Heavenly Emperor.

They were afraid.

Of the appearance of a new Demonic Emperor, Sword Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Monk.

The Liberation Pill is a double-edged sword.

You can die after eating it, but you can also survive after eating it. And if you just survive, it gives you more power than before.

Swish.

I jumped down from the roof.

Everyone paid attention to me.

My junior sister, who was still looking at me, came into view. As I looked at her unwavering pupils, I felt a desire to lower my eyes.

If I didn't have a mask, I would have immediately lowered my eyes.

Those who had eaten the Liberation Pill all gathered near me. As the number of people increased, my confidence rose again, and I held my head high.

I went straight to the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.

The Rakshasa Divine Maiden had also been looking at me from a while ago.

Unlike my junior sister, whose gaze I couldn't understand, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's pupils were filled with a question about me. And also a question about this situation.

She must be curious. Even if it were me, if a guy wearing a sheep mask suddenly popped out, I would be so curious that I would go crazy.

I extended my hand to the side.

"Give me the Liberation Pill."

If there isn't one, my plan will fail. Of course, there was a second plan.

"Here it is."

Fortunately, there was no need to run away with the Rakshasa Divine Maiden, which was the second plan.

I approached the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.

As the distance got closer, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's pupils were filled with hostility.

I bent my knees, lowered my posture, and met the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's eye level. And I lightly ignored the sharp gaze that was staring at me and grabbed the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's chin and pulled it towards me.

"Gasp!"

Although it was an action that would normally be unimaginable, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden was pulled by me without any strength.

"Mmmph!"

I forcibly opened the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's mouth. Then the Rakshasa Divine Maiden resisted, but I ignored it and popped the Liberation Pill in. The Rakshasa Divine Maiden tried not to swallow, but I pushed my finger deep into her throat and forced her to swallow.

Now, what I have to do is about to end.

From now on, whether the Rakshasa Divine Maiden dies after eating the Liberation Pill, or whether she comes back alive as I did, it's all up to her.

There was only one thing left for me.

To protect this place while she wakes up.

Now! From now on, it's the real deal.

If there are any hidden guys, come out!

I said.

"Kill everyone here!"

Those who had eaten the Liberation Pill all began to rush towards the Demonic Cult and the Orthodox Faction.

Then my junior sister, the Mad Demon, and the Sword Demoness, who had been standing still, also began to resist, giving orders to those around them.

On the Orthodox Faction side, the Phoenix King and the Little Divine Monk were also quickly dealing with the situation.

And so, the situation suddenly changed. The Orthodox Faction and the Demonic Cult had a truce, and although it was temporary, they were helping each other.

I was standing still next to the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.

As expected, someone was quickly approaching to kill the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.

The opponent seemed to have completely lost his reason, as if he had eaten the Liberation Pill.

With this, it was proven that my suspicion was correct.

There was someone else here who could move them besides me.

Well, it didn't matter much. My role was the same anyway.

Swoosh!

I parried the sword that was swung. The opponent's wrist was bent, and the sword was flung far out. The opponent did not let go of the sword. Looking closely, the hilt of the sword and his wrist were tied with a cloth.

I could see that he was trying to force another attack. I had no choice but to cut off his wrist. And yet, the opponent's momentum did not stop. I cut his neck as it was. And even though his neck was cut, the opponent extended his other arm forward. A thin hidden weapon poured out from his hand.

I wasn't particularly flustered.

'How can it not deviate from my expectations?'

I swung my sword backwards and parried the hidden weapon.

After that, I cut down the people who were approaching several times. And I did not neglect to observe my surroundings.

Thud.

And one more person was approaching.

I immediately aimed my sword.

Gulp.

The moment I saw the opponent, dry saliva went down my throat.

"Who are you?"

My junior sister was standing alone in this complicated battlefield, and no one was approaching her.

That was the same for those who had eaten the Liberation Pill.

I could see someone trying to approach my junior sister. But the moment they got near my junior sister, they suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, their breathing became ragged, and they went somewhere else.

The instinct that humans have, no! that animals have.

The fear of the strong.

Even though they had eaten the Liberation Pill and were half out of their minds, they still had a fundamental fear.

Seeing that directly, I wanted to run away immediately.

'You've become strong, junior sister.'

To an extent that cannot be compared to three years ago.

However, no matter how strong she had become, it was still worth a try.

'Compared to her skill before my regression, it's lacking.'

No matter how much of a junior sister she is, she is not yet complete. It's surprising that I feel this much pressure even though she's incomplete.

Fortunately, no one else was approaching.

It was the first time since I had reached the Demonic Zenith that I was seriously crossing swords with my junior sister.

As a martial artist, I was purely curious.

How far can I go now?

To me, my junior sister was fear itself.

A wall that could never be overcome.

But now, even though I was in front of my junior sister, my heart was strangely pounding.

And to confirm what I had done today, I had to stop my junior sister.

The heat I felt in my body heated up my muscles.

The one who took the first step was my junior sister.

Swish.

A step that was not particularly special.

A stepping method to deliver a basic single sword strike.

One foot goes forward. At the same time as the foot falls to the ground, the arm that had been raised upwards falls. A slash that cuts down from top to bottom, simply and without any additions.

Although it was a simple downward slash, it was close to a perfect slash that was admirable just by looking at it.

Swish.

I also took a step. If I were to convert the effort of the past three years into time, I was confident that I would not be inferior. I swung the sword that was hanging down upwards. The sword went up, drawing a clean semicircle. Clang! Our swords met in the middle. Sparks flew from the swords. At that moment, I felt a repulsive force from my junior sister's sword, but it was bearable.

My junior sister, without taking her sword away, took another step closer. I also pushed my sword and took a step closer.

The sparks from the swords flew more strongly.

For a moment, the distance between my junior sister and me became so close that our breaths would touch if we exhaled. My junior sister's breath touched my mask. My junior sister tilted her sword slightly and then flicked it away.

The sword was flung up strongly. I held on to the sword as much as I could. Fortunately, I did not let go of the sword. Tahaat! I cut down with the sword again. Whoosh! My junior sister rotated her body and kicked up.

The sword and the foot hit each other.

Even though a steel sword and a cloth shoe had touched, a sound of steel clashing was heard.

For a moment, my wrist almost broke.

The striking power was beyond my expectations.

Still, at this level, I was slightly pushed back, but it was bearable.

I slowly raised my sword and aimed it at my junior sister again.

Click.

My junior sister, landing from the air, twisted her sword once and then switched it to her left hand.

At that moment, my junior sister's momentum changed.

Seeing that, I remembered something I had forgotten.

Slice.

My junior sister swung her sword, and I raised my sword to block. But I was a little late.

Crack!

The end of the mask was cut off and fell.

I had momentarily lost track of the sword's trajectory.

I'm screwed!

My junior sister was left-handed.
