Su Yeongseong, standing on the stone tomb, and Cheon Myeong, below him.
It had been a long ti since the two had t like this after the ranking match.
Of course, since the eting of the two could not be said to be as welco as a reunion with an old friend, it seed as if a colder wind than usual was blowing in the Half-Frozen Valley now.
"..."
Cheon Myeong was silently observing Su Yeongseong.
He had heard that after the ranking match that day, Su Yeongseong's dantian had been completely destroyed and he was living a life similar to that of a cripple.
But a guy like that couldn't be standing so fine after falling from a height of several feet.
Cheon Myeong could see that, unlike what he had heard, Su Yeongseong was in a rather fine state.
"That face is still the sa. Cheon Myeong."
"..."
"A very unpleasant face."
Not only his outward impression, but Su Yeongseong's way of speaking was also quite different from before.
And although it was not visible, this ominous energy that was felt from Su Yeongseong...
Although he was a guy who had always been giving off an unpleasant sll, he had not given off an energy that was thought to be this ominous.
"You seem to have changed a lot."
"..."
"I heard that you were miserably defeated by and barely saved your life, living as a half-cripple."
Twitch-
Hearing Cheon Myeong's words, Su Yeongseong's impression was distorted.
However, he soon let out an unpleasant laugh and opened his mouth.
"Yes, because of you, I have been living a life like that of a cripple."
"Your words are strange. Why is that because of ?"
"What...?"
"The one who showed his teeth first was you. If it were you, what would you do if a rat, not knowing its place, tried to bite a person?"
Cheon Myeong said that and raised his right hand to the vicinity of his neck.
And with that hand, he made a gesture of slitting his own throat and said.
"Of course, you have to fix its habit, right? So that it won't crawl out of its rat hole again."
"..."
"If I had sent you away alive, you should not have co out of your rat hole again. With what confidence on earth did you crawl out again?"
Cheon Myeong asked with a chilly voice.
In fact, even without hearing the answer, he knew for what purpose Su Yeongseong had co here.
Because in this situation, it wouldn't be to have a peaceful conversation with him.
Nevertheless, the reason why Cheon Myeong had asked this question to Su Yeongseong was to make one fact clear.
"Confidence? The only thing that led to this place was one."
"..."
"A desire for revenge. Only the desire for revenge on you made live, and it also made able to have this power."
"Does that an you're going to kill ?"
"What other answer did you expect?"
"No, I was waiting for that answer."
As Cheon Myeong said that with a aningful smile, for a mont, a question appeared on Su Yeongseong's face.
"Jong Seojun!"
Cheon Myeong, who suddenly called Jong Seojun, his gaze directed forward.
As Cheon Myeong suddenly called him, although Jong Seojun seed slightly surprised, he soon answered with a calm voice.
"Yes, Young Master."
"You heard, right? That guy ca here to kill ."
"..."
Why does he say such things so easily?
As Cheon Myeong casually said that, as if he were watching a fire across the river, Jong Seojun could not give any answer for a mont.
However, at that mont, hearing Cheon Myeong's following words, Jong Seojun could understand Cheon Myeong's intention.
"The one who started the fight first was that guy. So even if I counterattack here, it won't be breaking the rules of the ranking match. Right?"
"Ah..."
"Since you are a witness, if the leader says sothing about this, please explain it well."
In fact, this situation could be said to be very dangerous.
However, perhaps because of the leisure felt from Cheon Myeong, Jong Seojun was also assimilated into it and rather felt at ease.
"Yes, I understand!"
Jong Seojun answered from behind.
Then, Cheon Myeong, who slightly raised his head and looked at Su Yeongseong.
Although if you looked at their current positions, Cheon Myeong was below Su Yeongseong, for so reason, if you just looked at their gazes, it felt as if Cheon Myeong were looking down at Su Yeongseong.
"Now, you heard too, right?"
"..."
"It's different from that ti. Now there's no father to protect you, so be prepared and co at ."
Tremble- tremble-
Su Yeongseong glared at Cheon Myeong with a fierce face.
At the sa ti, his body, which was trembling so much that it was visible.
Su Yeongseong really did not like the appearance of Cheon Myeong, who was being leisurely even in this situation.
"...Are you pretending to be leisurely even in this situation?"
"Whether I'm pretending or not, you'll soon find out."
"...Yes, then I will confirm it."
Su Yeongseong said that and raised his right hand.
Snap-
As that sound ca out of his lightly snapped fingers, countless presences suddenly began to be felt from above.
And nurous figures coming down from the top of the cliff, just like when the rocks had fallen.
Soon, the surroundings of Cheon Myeong were filled with people wearing clothes similar to night-traveling clothes.
"..."
Cheon Myeong silently observed the people who had appeared around him.
From the montum felt, it was certain that they were all martial artists who had learned martial arts.
And it could be said to be a rather considerable level.
Since guys like this would not have suddenly sprung up, it would have to be thought that they were the martial artists that Su Yeongseong had prepared to kill him.
As proof of that, Su Yeongseong's face was now much more triumphant than before.
"A hundred elites of the Jeonsu family."
"..."
"I prepared them to kill you. Can you be so leisurely even in this situation?"
A hundred warriors of the Jeonsu family.
Su Yeongseong had brought all the personnel that could be called the core power of the family.
Because he wanted to kill Cheon Myeong that much.
To be honest, it was to the point where it was more than enough for the purpose of killing Cheon Myeong, but in order to thoroughly exclude the possibility of 'what if', this much had to be prepared.
'I won't be defeated like that ti.'
Su Yeongseong thought that the reason he had been defeated at that ti was because he had not known Cheon Myeong's true skills.
If he had known Cheon Myeong's skills in advance, he would have fought in a state of being thoroughly prepared like now.
Although Jo Seokjin had thought that Su Yeongseong was preparing things rashly, Su Yeongseong himself did not think so.
From the mont he had been defeated by Cheon Myeong and had fallen, Su Yeongseong had prepared and prepared, and now he thought that there were no more gaps, so he had drawn his sword.
Grin-
A triumphant smile appeared on Su Yeongseong's face.
For this mont, he had been waiting for that ti.
The mont when the leisure on Cheon Myeong's face changed to despair.
In order to savor that, Su Yeongseong looked at Cheon Myeong with a face full of expectation.
However.
"Is this what you prepared?"
"...?"
"I wondered what you were so confident about, but in the end, you were a guy who relied on your family."
Unlike Su Yeongseong's expectation, Cheon Myeong said with a calm voice.
Why can he speak so calmly in this situation?
Since he had thought that even the leader would not be able to easily defeat this force, Su Yeongseong was quite flustered inside.
"Kh... are you acting even in this situation!"
"..."
"No matter who sees it, the one who is cornered in this place is you! The fact that you are afraid of inside..."
"You're wrong."
Cheon Myeong said with a firm voice.
A confidence to the extent that it was hard to believe that he was the one in a disadvantageous position.
Cheon Myeong said with a voice full of conviction.
"Just by seeing you drag a bunch of minions like this, I can tell who is afraid of the other between you and ."
"...!"
"Isn't it because you're afraid of that you ca in a group? If you think about it that way, there's no reason for to be afraid of you in this place."
In fact, Cheon Myeong's words were right.
Although he had brought the warriors of the Jeonsu family under the pretext of preparing thoroughly, if he had not been afraid of Cheon Myeong, Su Yeongseong would have tried to get revenge one-on-one.
The sa went for gathering the other disciples.
Wasn't it because he had the subconscious anxiety that even a hundred elites of the Jeonsu family were not enough that he had done that?
Although he had been trying to deny that fact until now, since Cheon Myeong was speaking right in front of him like that, Su Yeongseong could no longer ignore that fact.
"You've beco pathetic."
"...!"
"At least in the past, you didn't feel pathetic."
Su Yeongseong felt as if Cheon Myeong were stripping off his clothes one by one.
A feeling of stripping and stripping until nothing could be hidden, revealing his bare face.
Although it had always been Su Yeongseong's instinct to hide his true feelings under a smiling face, he could not do that in front of Cheon Myeong this ti either.
Su Yeongseong was so angry about that fact.
"Kill... kill that guy!"
He could no longer listen to Cheon Myeong's words.
In the end, Su Yeongseong, who shouted at the warriors in a form similar to a scream.
Then, the sound of swords being drawn all at once was heard from the surroundings.
"..."
Cheon Myeong was observing the surrounding warriors, exerting his ki sense since a while ago.
Although he had said that to Su Yeongseong, it was an undeniable fact that the current situation was disadvantageous for him.
But Cheon Myeong knew a way to get out of this difficulty.
'The Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon.'
The sword art he had awakened to at the sa ti as he had obtained the Heavenly Demon Sword.
Although he had been planning to test this sword art soday, he had not known that the opportunity would co so quickly.
'No, this is a real battle.'
And a rather critical situation.
Therefore, Cheon Myeong thought that it was an even better opportunity to confirm the true value of this sword art.
'Cheon Seon, if the sword art you taught is really the ultimate of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art...'
He would be able to overco this crisis.
Cheon Myeong thought so and drew one of the two swords he was wearing at his waist.
Sreung-
A sound with a sowhat different feeling from when he had drawn an ordinary sword.
However, if you looked at the blade, you could see that that sword was even more different.
"...?"
The warriors, who confird the sword that Cheon Myeong was holding for a mont, and their movents stopped without them realizing it.
A purple sword.
Although they had seen a case where a blade had turned red because of blood, it was the first ti that the blade itself had such a color.
Perhaps because of that, just by holding it, the warriors instinctively felt that they could not easily approach Cheon Myeong.
Flap-
At that mont, Baekjo ca out of Cheon Myeong's bosom and flew up to the sky.
The mont everyone's gaze turned to that side, Cheon Myeong naturally maintained a middle stance and raised his sword.
And when the warriors' gazes turned to Cheon Myeong again, an energy began to extend from the sword that Cheon Myeong was holding, as if it were exploding.
"...!"
The warriors here were the elites of the Jeonsu family.
So since they were all at a level where they could at least use sword ki, they could imdiately tell that the red energy flowing from Cheon Myeong's sword was sothing unusual.
Woong-!
The explosively extended energy gathers in one place and forms a sword ki.
However, the montum did not stop there.
As if there were still more, the energy began to gather in one place with an explosive montum, and by the ti they ca to their senses, there was already sothing beyond sword ki there.
"Th-the ultimate of demonic..."
That voice ca out of soone's mouth.
The ultimate realm of demonic power.
How many people in the Demonic Cult had reached this realm?
Although the leader, Cheon Jin, was evaluated to have definitely reached this realm, besides him, the people who could be said to have definitely reached the ultimate realm of demonic power were very rare.
Of course, since none of the warriors of the Jeonsu family had even taken a single step towards the ultimate realm of demonic power, they could only look up at the huge energy that was now flickering from Cheon Myeong's sword.
"What are you doing! Kill him quickly!"
"...!"
At that mont, hearing Su Yeongseong shouting, the warriors ca to their senses.
Although the warriors' hearts wanted to just look up at that noble realm, since they had no choice but to follow Su Yeongseong's words, the warriors all raised their sword ki and began to rush at Cheon Myeong.
A sword ki that was also raised from the warriors' swords all at once.
Compared to the energy on Cheon Myeong's sword, it could only be said to be really shabby.
Of course, although these people were also praised as masters in the world, as they stood in front of Cheon Myeong, it felt as if even their usually sharp sword ki had lost all its edge.
The warriors who surrounded Cheon Myeong from all sides.
Watching them, Cheon Myeong did not avoid the spot.
He just gently raised his sword.
However, when the sword was raised to a certain extent, no one saw what happened after that.
The warriors who were rushing at Cheon Myeong all heard that sound.
At the sa ti, a vision that turned white.
As they suddenly could not see anything, the warriors had no choice but to stop in their tracks.
However.
Soon, in the vision that had turned white, a being that was burning redder than anything else appeared in front of their eyes.
"...!"
What on earth is that?
A being they had never seen before was right in front of them.
But they could be sure of one thing.
Compared to that being, they were so shabby.
And when they realized that fact, the warriors also realized that their bodies were being crushed and cut.
Thud-
Nurous people collapsed on the floor, scattering blood and flesh.
And in the center, Cheon Myeong, who was standing with his sword in the sa appearance as at the beginning.
A thick sll of blood spread in the Half-Frozen Valley.
