Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Episode 22. Sirangji Station (3)

“You saved me.”

“There you go.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face was worth seeing.

Saaaaaa.

I feel like I see a haze that I shouldn’t see and I feel like I hear sounds I shouldn’t hear.

Immense energy was welling up from the cut bamboo. It was on a different level from the Yeongjuk I had seen so far. Although the quantity was great, the quality of the concentrated spiritual energy was particularly special.

“This is truly a great spirit.”

“yes? It was so hard that I couldn’t even lift a knife. “I heard that just to cut down a bamboo, we had to pull out pottery to use it.”

It was called Shingeomhapil and Shindohapil.

Now that I have realized that I am no different from the weapon, the sword is the body and the body is the sword. Enlightenment melts and settles into the mind, and the mind is energy, and as a result, even the nature of the energy contained in the sword changes.

Ma Dong-pil slowly scanned the cross section of the cut bamboo with his index finger.

‘…It’s amazing pottery.’

It was an eerily smooth cross section. Even if you wield the best sword blade with maximum power, will you be able to leave a trace like this?

‘You really are amazing.’

Considering that the level was similar to that of ordinary people eight months ago, this is truly a tremendous growth. I thought there was nothing more surprising, but the more we spent together, the more each day became a series of surprises.

“By the way, Confucius.”

“Uh, tell me.”

Ma Dong-pil’s expression became awkward.

“That fox…”

Seo-ryang glanced back.

A fox cub was sitting behind his haunches, tail wagging. The large ears and the tail, which was larger and longer than the body, were strangely mysterious.

“I don’t know. It was in there. “At first, I was sleeping well, but then I woke up and my left hand got like this… Huh?!”

Xiliang narrowed his eyes.

“what? “Where are the chew marks?”

“Yes yes?”

“No, I chewed my left hand as if it was a bone with my left hand. Even though there was a lot of blood, why did I already feel fine? “Is your spirit that strong?”

“Are you saying that fox touched Confucius’s being?”

“That’s right.”

Slurp.

Ma Dong-pil suddenly stood up and glared at the fox cub.

Seo-ryang waved his hand as the cold overflowed over his solemn face.

“How serious are you going to be? Just leave it alone, man. “You keep doing it, and now you’re trying to blame even the animals.”

“….”

“Get your strength out of your eyeballs.”

Ma Dong-pil lowered his head and glared at the fox cub one last time. His eyes filled with the intention that he would inflict cruel punishment if he touched his body again.

Buck, buck, buck.

The fox cub didn’t even look at him. He scratched his chin a few times with his hind paw, then slowly bowed down and just looked at Seoryang’s back.

A thick tendon bulged on Ma Dong-pil’s chin. I felt bad, as if I had been ignored by a mere animal.

“What are you doing!”

“Oh yeah.”

Ma Dong-pil squatted down next to Seo-ryang.

After examining the bamboo several times, Seo-ryang’s face became serious.

“I can’t do it. “It’s a bit far to carry it, so let’s purify it right here.”

“Yes, I will protect the law.”

“okay.”

Seoliang placed both hands on the bamboo, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.

Wooooow.

Amyeongjinmagong took a step back and Muaegong, who had been properly trained for eight months, took his place.

Saaaaaaaaaaa!

In an instant, the surrounding air became cleaner. Even the extremely fine turbid energy hidden by the abundant spiritual energy is absorbed.

Ma Dong-pil looked at the scene with serious eyes.

‘It’s always amazing to see.’

To make the air clean by removing the surrounding air.

Furthermore, it is a task to adjust the concentration of spirit porridge, which is difficult to consume immediately due to excessive energy.

‘You don’t just know a unique martial art. It means that the awareness of Qigong is very high.’

A look of puzzlement appeared on his face.

‘When did Confucius gain such knowledge and enlightenment?’

The more I look at him, the less he looks like a young man in his early twenties. As just now, Confucius often got a glimpse of Noh Kang-ho’s years of experience as he had lived for several decades.

Pussssss.

Finally, a haze rose from the bamboo.

It was not a hallucination, it was a real haze. Some of the highly concentrated energy accumulated in the bamboo escapes into the air.

Xiliang’s eyebrows twitched.

Crackle!

Thick veins were revealed in the hand holding the bamboo joint.

Gurgling.

Both ends of the bamboo gradually became bleached white, and the ends became cracked as if all the moisture had been sucked out.

On the other hand, the color of the part that Seo-ryang was holding gradually became darker. It extracts unstable spiritual energy, concentrates it in one node, and turns it into essence.

Pusssss. Pussssss.

Both ends, which had dried out white, turned gray and soon turned into powder and flew around.

As some time passed, a sufficient amount of fluid accumulated inside the joint.

Xiliang opened his eyes.

“done.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“What trouble? Let’s start with you… huh?”

Seo-ryang’s expression became depressed.

Before he knew it, a fox cub was lying down on his legs crossed in the lotus position. I was in such a deep sleep that I felt like I wouldn’t wake up even if thunder struck next to me.

“what? “When did he come?”

Ma Dong-pil was embarrassed.

“I was looking around too… but I didn’t feel any presence.”

“her! “This is a really amazing guy.”

Seoliang gently traced the bridge of the fox’s nose with his index finger.

‘hmm.’

It’s a touch of art.

“Give it to me, Confucius.” “I’ll leave it nearby and come back.”

“throw away? “This one?”

“It might have a mother.”

“Um… I see. But he was the only one in the deep area.”

“I don’t know where I went for a while. Even if that’s not the case, there are no ordinary creatures in Gojuk Forest. Although it is small, this one is definitely a treasure.”

“That’s right.”

Seoliang quenched his appetite. Still, seeing him dozing off while sitting on the bridge makes me feel sorry for just throwing him away.

“First, empty half of it. “Let’s think about what to do with this guy.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face showed a look of bewilderment.

“Confucius, how can I replace this precious thing without even knowing it…”

“Aren’t you tired of it for eight months?”

“This is different. “It is right for Confucius to take it entirely.”

“Are you going to be like this until the end? Let’s not be cold when we have a bond together. “Drink it quickly.”

“….”

“Drink it quickly before you take your chin off and pour it out. “I want to drink it quickly too.”

“….”

“It’s so frustrating. “Drink it quickly!!”

“…Thank you, Confucius.”

Ma Dong-pil’s face was filled with passion as he slowly bowed.

No matter how close they are together, it is not common for them to share this precious elixir. This is because the elixir is a precious treasure that makes you fight even with your lifelong friends and that you do not give up even to your blood relatives.

Samgongja is handing out such elixirs as if it is really no big deal.

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Did you save my life once or twice? Rather, I feel sorry. “Even if I give everything, it’s not enough, so they’re taking half of it away.”

“Confucius….”

“You went through a lot of trouble in this crappy place for no reason because of me. I’m serious.”

Ma Dong-pil felt a rush of tears.

Being a security guard is a lonely job. No matter how hard you try, if you make a mistake once, that’s the end. Even if I completed the mission to the end, I was often told to be more nervous in the future.

I received a heartfelt thank you that I had never received before in my life from the Three Princes in front of me, whom I had served for about eight months.

It was several times more precious and precious than such elixirs.

“I will protect Confucius until the day my mission ends. “No threat will be able to attack Confucius until they hand over my corpse.”

I know you’re grateful, but hearing these words to my face tickles me a bit.

It was a time when Seoryang was scratching his head for no reason.

‘hmm?!’

His eyes sparkled.

There was no sense of presence. There was no sound or smell.

However, the murderous intent that shook the spirit-filled air of this place was clear.

Blind killing intent without any intention. Arrows of brutal murderous intent that could only be described as primitive were flocking towards this place.

Ma Dong-pil shouted as if he was coughing up blood.

“Even if this mission is over, I will never forget Confucius’ great kindness until the moment I die!”

“hey! “It’s okay, drink it quickly!”

Ma Dong-pil closed his eyes. It really seemed like the Three Princes were not good at showing off.

“After leaving Madongpil’s conviction, I have no choice but to return to the defense court, but my heart is always…”

“Stop giving speeches and drink quickly!”

“Confucius, my sincerity is….”

“You crazy person! Please drink some! “Drink it!”

Wow!

Ma Dong-pil’s eyes widened.

“What?!”

Before he knew it, his head was tilted back, his chin was lowered, and fluid was pouring out of his wide open mouth.

“Wow! “Knock!”

“Swallow! “Move your uvula hard, you bastard!”

While pouring out as much liquid as he could, Seoryang looked around.

“What the fuck!”

How come these guys are so fast?

In the sky, black strange birds flew in like a flock of crows. In addition, Seongseong, a giant monkey over nine feet long, was also seen between the prostitutes, as well as a couple of Nokchoks.

I also saw a leopard named Maenggeuk that I saw earlier. The fur was so bright that it was impossible not to notice it. The speed, faster than that of a horse, Nokchok, was truly impressive.

That wasn’t all.

Damn it!

Several bamboo trees withered quickly. It seemed like several birds of prey were moving about in the invisible land.

All the nobles I had seen so far were on display. In addition, strange and strange creatures that had never been seen in the far west also appeared.

Seo-ryang, who thought he had put in about half of it, swallowed the remaining essence in one go.

Ma Dong-pil, who had been cooing for a while, widened his eyes.

“This is…!”

“Ouch! Cough! hey! “Bounce!”

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

“Do I know that!!”

Xi Liang hurriedly looked around.

“Northeast! The northeast has been breached! “Did you memorize the way here?!”

“of course!”

“Such a trustworthy bastard! Okay, let’s bounce!”

Seo-ryang, who was about to unfold the divine law, glanced behind him.

Despite all this chaos, that damn fox cub was fast asleep.

“…Damn it!”

After a while.

“hey! receive!”

“yes? omg!”

“Put him in your arms and run so he doesn’t get hurt! “I’ll block the rear!”

“Lord Confucius! “I will cut off their pursuit!”

Xi Liang raised his fist.

Jiiiing!

Reddish magic energy rose like smoke from his fist.

“Listen to me, you bastard!!”

Kwaaaaang!

“Ugh!”

Ma Dong-pil’s body was shot forward at an incredible speed. The heavy wind that Seo-ryang blew pushed his body away.

Shooting out a wind blow is itself an advanced martial art. And the ones who use the wind to push and throw away rather than strike are truly a group of super-rising figures.

Astonishment appeared on Ma Dong-pil’s face. I knew Confucius was strong, but I didn’t know it was this strong.

“Lord Confucius!”

Fuwaaaaaaa!

The prostitute’s body was split in half by the sword wielded by Seo-ryang.

It was the Dancheonsamdo (斷天三刀), the season of the king of assassins, finally presented.

It’s not the best martial art, but there is no other martial art that can be used quickly. Now is not the time to use flashy martial arts or a lot of them to show off your skills.

Hahaha!

Powerful demonic energy rose from Seo-ryang’s body.

He shouted excitedly to the nobles.

“Do not come!”

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
