Thump-.
Subsequently, Cheon Myeong landed on the ground with light steps.
Even until then, not a single person among the people in the venue opened their mouths.
"..."
Everyone had been watching the duel between Cheon Myeong and Su Yeongseong from the beginning.
However, among them, there were also people who could not properly grasp how this result had co about.
The reason was simple.
Isn't it said that in a fight between masters, the winner is often decided in a single move?
The duel between Cheon Myeong and Su Yeongseong just now was like that.
Since a move of such a high level had unfolded in front of their eyes, the people who could not follow that level had missed the movents of the two.
"Huh..."
There were two things that even the people who had not seen properly how it had ended could know for sure.
One was that the duel just now was a duel of a trendous level.
And the other was that the final winner in that duel was Cheon Myeong.
A situation where words could not co out due to the shock.
Everyone beca mute in the shock that they had not expected that the level of this Demonic Position Battle would be this high.
But among them, the person who was the most shocked was none other than Su Yijeong.
'How could this happen...'
There was not a single mistake in Su Yeongseong's sword technique just now.
Even in his own eyes, who was learning the sa martial art, the Thunder God's Two Halves just now was the best that Su Yeongseong could do.
But for that best move to be blocked so easily.
Su Yijeong could not understand at all why this result had co out.
Squeeze-.
However, that question was also for a mont, and Su Yijeong soon clenched his fist in anger.
'How can you be lying down like that!'
In this Demonic Position Battle, Su Yeongseong had to prove it.
The fact that the person who was worthy of the future leader's bloodline was not Cheon Myeong, who had inherited Cheon Jin's blood, but Su Yeongseong, who had inherited the blood of the Jeonsu Family.
He should have proved that in this place where all the influential people of the Demonic Cult were gathered... but this had rather beco a situation of proving that Cheon Myeong was worthy of the next leader.
At the sa ti, the Jeonsu Family had left an indelible disgrace in the future.
The disgrace of being defeated by Cheon Myeong, whom everyone had ignored.
Cheon Myeong, the winner of this place today, would beco a rising sun with this duel as an opportunity, but on the contrary, the Jeonsu Family, the loser, would beco a setting sun.
The fall of the family.
That was sothing that he, as the head of the Jeonsu Family, could not just stand by and watch.
"..."
At that mont, Cheon Myeong began to walk towards the fallen Su Yeongseong.
As soon as he discovered that, Su Yijeong ca to his senses.
'I can't let him die like that!'
Su Yeongseong was still breathing.
Although it seed that he had been quite seriously injured even from a distance, that much could be recovered sohow with the power of the Jeonsu Family.
Whoosh-.
A lot of ti, money, and his own effort had gone into Su Yeongseong reaching his current skill level.
Although he had been defeated by Cheon Myeong now, he could just make up for that and pay him back.
But at the mont he died here, everything was over.
In the worst case, even if he were to take another child and start over, it would take a trendous amount of ti just to raise him to Su Yeongseong's skill level.
Not to ntion withdrawing from the young leader candidate, in the anti, the Jeonsu Family would surely be completely eliminated within the Demonic Cult.
Since Su Yijeong could not stand by and watch that, he ran there to stop Cheon Myeong.
"Stop."
However, Su Yijeong could no longer approach Cheon Myeong's side.
A deep voice that was heard from sowhere.
Although he did not turn his head, Su Yijeong imdiately knew who the owner of that voice was.
"What are you trying to do now?"
"..."
Su Yijeong turned his head to the side of the owner of the voice.
Then, Cheon Jin, who was sitting there with an expressionless face.
Although it seed that there was nothing different from usual at a glance, the person who was looking directly into his eyes could tell.
If you take one more step on your own, I will kill you.
Cheon Jin's eyes were now saying that to Su Yijeong.
'Of all tis, in this situation...'
Ti was of the essence.
However, if he were to ignore Cheon Jin and approach any further, he would have to face Cheon Jin.
A being that was exuding a trendous pressure just by sitting.
There was no chance of winning a fight with such a monster in this place.
"Leader, the winner and loser of this duel have already been clearly decided."
"..."
"So please stop the Demonic Position Battle. This duel is Young Master Cheon Myeong's victory."
Su Yijeong pleaded to Cheon Jin.
Hearing those words, Cheon Myeong, who had been walking towards Su Yeongseong, also stopped his steps and looked at that side.
"Impossible."
Cheon Jin, who was still saying that without any change in his expression.
On the other hand, at the mont he heard those words, a slight tremor occurred on Su Yijeong's face.
'Is he determined to kill my son!'
Su Yijeong could only feel Cheon Jin's attitude in that way.
Since Cheon Jin would also be fully aware of how big a blow it would be to the Jeonsu Family to lose Su Yeongseong in this place.
He would surely eliminate one of the competitors for the next leader in this place.
Su Yijeong knew that Cheon Jin was saying that to him with that intention.
"Leader..."
Normally, it would be common to back down at the point where Cheon Jin had said that.
Cheon Jin was a being who stood at the pinnacle of the Demonic Cult.
To refute such a being was an act that did not exist in the laws of the Demonic Cult.
But now, it could be said that the survival of the Jeonsu Family was at stake.
Su Yijeong broke the law and said to Cheon Jin.
"I beg your pardon, but please reconsider once more."
"..."
As Su Yijeong said that, breaking the law, a heavy tension began to flow in the venue.
At the sa ti, the montum felt from Cheon Jin changed slightly.
"The only things that decide the winner and loser are surrender and death. I had clearly said that before."
"..."
"But no one has died yet, and no one has declared surrender. So by what authority are you trying to stop the Demonic Position Battle on your own?"
Gooo-.
Along with the anger felt from his voice, a red energy that was also flowing from Cheon Jin's body.
Although it seed that the energy flowing was less than Cheon Myeong's, everyone knew that the reason was because Cheon Jin was now forcibly suppressing the energy.
And if that energy were to lose its coercive force and spread in all directions, after that, a bloodbath would occur again in this place.
"..."
Su Yijeong stood there without saying anything.
After a while, Su Yijeong, who was moving his right hand instead of an answer.
At Su Yijeong's action, the people in the venue could not hide their astonishnt.
Clang-.
Su Yijeong drew the sword he was wearing on his waist.
At so point, Su Yijeong was standing with his sword completely drawn, and Cheon Jin was just watching him silently.
'Is he going to fight the Leader!'
Everyone thought so, looking at Su Yijeong, who had drawn his sword. At the sa ti, they could only think that such a Su Yijeong was foolish.
Although it was understandable why Su Yijeong could not give up Su Yeongseong's life, to think that he would make such an extre choice.
There was no way Su Yijeong could beat Cheon Jin.
Before that, even before fighting Cheon Jin, he would only suffer a thoroughly one-sided death by the other cult mbers here.
And was that all?
Since the head of the Jeonsu Family had drawn his sword towards the leader in an official place like this, this was a clear rebellion.
A situation where there would be no problem even if Cheon Jin were to exterminate the entire Jeonsu Family using this as a problem.
Su Yijeong was now putting the entire Jeonsu Family in danger while trying to protect Su Yeongseong.
Swish-.
Su Yijeong raised the sword he was holding with his right hand.
At that mont, the warriors who were rushing to the front of Cheon Jin.
The guards had blocked the way to protect Cheon Jin from Su Yijeong's sudden action.
Slash-.
However, the guards, who soon stopped with surprised faces. And that was the sa for the other people in the venue.
Thump-.
Sothing heavy fell on the floor where Su Yijeong was standing.
And the fresh blood that was soaking it red.
"..."
At so point, Su Yijeong's left arm had been cleanly cut off.
The person who had cut off that left arm was none other than Su Yijeong himself.
It was not Cheon Jin, nor the guards who were blocking his front.
'His own arm...'
No one knew the reason why Su Yijeong had cut off his own arm.
However, everyone knew how big a blow it was for a martial artist to lose an arm.
And for an expert of Su Yijeong's level to lose an arm so futilely.
Just with that, it would have a trendous effect on the full power that Su Yijeong originally possessed.
"Leader..."
"..."
"I don't know if my rudeness just now can be forgiven with this... but I will ask you once more."
Although his arm had just been cut off, Su Yijeong was looking at Cheon Jin without blinking an eye and speaking.
"Please stop the Demonic Position Battle."
"..."
"If my one arm is not enough, I will offer more as a price in this place."
As Cheon Jin had said, Su Yijeong had no authority to stop the Demonic Position Battle.
That's why Su Yijeong had offered his arm as a price.
Because it was the way of the world to offer sothing else as a price in order to get what one wanted on one's own.
Of course, losing one arm would be a considerable blow to him and to the Jeonsu Family, but it was a much cheaper price than losing Su Yeongseong in this place.
"...Good."
After a long silence, Cheon Jin said.
"The winner is Cheon Myeong."
"..."
"Since the winner and loser have been decided, I will end the Demonic Position Battle with this."
"...As you command."
Su Yijeong, who was kneeling down and bowing his head to Cheon Jin.
The Demonic Position Battle had ended as he had wished.
Although he had been prepared to offer even one of his eyes if one arm was not enough, fortunately, he did not have to go that far.
"..."
As Cheon Jin declared so, Cheon Myeong turned his gaze to the fallen Su Yeongseong.
'They're beating the drum and the gong by themselves, what are they doing?'
The person who had fought was him, so why were they arguing about stopping the Demonic Position Battle or not?
Although Cheon Myeong did not like that, since Cheon Jin had declared so, there was nothing he could do anymore.
'Well... that's enough.'
Cheon Myeong sheathed his sword and looked down at the fallen Su Yeongseong.
A wound to the extent that it would be okay to call it a corpse.
Although it seed that he was barely breathing, even if he were to survive, he would probably not be able to maintain a healthy body as before.
'Originally, I was planning to finish him off with this hand...'
It would be okay for him to survive like a bug and maintain his life.
The mont he opened his eyes, Su Yeongseong would have to taste a desperate pain.
Just like when he had barely survived the Qi Deviation in the past and had opened his eyes.
That might inflict a greater pain on Su Yeongseong than just killing him.
'You will no longer be able to live as a martial artist.'
And that was the punishnt he was giving to Su Yeongseong.
"If you can climb up, try to crawl up again."
At that ti, I will drop you more thoroughly.
Cheon Myeong said to Su Yeongseong and did not look at that side anymore.
