The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 176 : In the Name of the Young Leader (2)

Crack-

Every ti Cheon Myeong's and Su Yeongseong's swords clashed, a powerful energy spread in all directions.

Although Cheon Myeong had been fighting with the unique red energy of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art from the beginning, Su Yeongseong had also now begun to fight in earnest.

Just like when they had fought in the ranking match in the past, it was an appearance as if he were clad in lightning all over his body.

However, compared to that ti, the montum flowing from Su Yeongseong's body now seed much greater.

"..."

While clashing swords with Su Yeongseong, Cheon Myeong was now looking for the weakness of the Star-Sucking Great Art.

Although there was also the fact that he could not easily counterattack because Su Yeongseong's montum was like a thunderclap.

Since Cheon Myeong had also already perford the Three Swords of the Heavenly Demon, he had no choice but to fight carefully like this.

'There must be a weakness. Surely.'

At that mont, Su Yeongseong's sword aid for Cheon Myeong's heart.

His two eyes, which widened slightly as he saw the sword strike heading towards him.

As he suddenly felt that the montum felt from Su Yeongseong's sword strike had subsided a little, Cheon Myeong did not block Su Yeongseong's sword strike and narrowly avoided it.

Swish-

At the sa ti, Cheon Myeong dug into Su Yeongseong's bosom.

And rather, this ti, from Cheon Myeong's side, he swung his sword towards Su Yeongseong's heart.

Pat-

However, Cheon Myeong's sword strike narrowly missed Su Yeongseong's body.

Su Yeongseong, who had already moved back and was keeping his distance from Cheon Myeong.

With a bitter smile, Su Yeongseong looked at Cheon Myeong and said.

"As expected, your senses seem to be alive."

"..."

"To counterattack as soon as a gap appeared... but your attack won't reach ."

At the sa ti, Su Yeongseong's figure disappeared.

At first, Cheon Myeong had thought that Su Yeongseong would attack him, but what Su Yeongseong had aid for was not Cheon Myeong.

"Kuaaaaaaaaaa-!"

A scream was heard from sowhere.

And there, this ti too, Su Yeongseong was squeezing the neck of a warrior, and the warrior, who was gradually losing his life force in Su Yeongseong's grasp, instantly beca a withered corpse.

Thud-

Only after sucking up every last drop of internal energy did Su Yeongseong put down the warrior.

At the sa ti, a montum that had grown even greater.

Although it had felt as if Su Yeongseong's montum had montarily weakened, with that just now, Su Yeongseong had returned to his original state.

"..."

Cheon Myeong was watching him silently.

Although this was the first ti he had faced the Star-Sucking Great Art directly, as expected, it was not sothing to be taken lightly.

Since the martial art called the Star-Sucking Great Art itself was to instantly absorb internal energy from others, no matter how much he made him consu internal energy through battle, he could imdiately recover in that way.

Of course, if there were no one around to restore his internal energy, it would be a problem that he would not have to worry about, but unfortunately, around here, there were quite a few guys who would beco Su Yeongseong's blood and flesh.

'This will be endless.'

The more they fought, the more he would lose his strength, but on the contrary, that guy could instantly return to his original state.

The warriors who were now remaining there were only the guys who showed absolute loyalty to Su Yeongseong.

Since the guys who would run away had all already run away, those guys were standing there with the thought that it didn't matter if they lost their lives due to Su Yeongseong's Star-Sucking Great Art.

Since there were still five such guys left, if the battle continued like this, it seed that his own strength would run out before he could dispose of Su Yeongseong.

'As expected, it would be better to take care of those guys first.'

Then Su Yeongseong would no longer be able to recover his strength with the Star-Sucking Great Art.

Of course, although there was also the thod of completely killing him before he could recover, Su Yeongseong's montum was greater than he had thought.

Although he didn't know what kind of trick he had used, a feeling of having beco much stronger than in the past.

For now, since it seed easier to take care of those five first than to definitely suppress Su Yeongseong, Cheon Myeong first set his target as those five.

Tat-

Cheon Myeong rushed at Su Yeongseong.

Then, Su Yeongseong, who took a stance as if to receive Cheon Myeong's sword strike.

However, while heading towards Su Yeongseong, Cheon Myeong sharply changed his direction and rushed at the five warriors who were gathered in one place.

'I'll take care of them all at once.'

If he were to find out that his target was not him but those warriors, Su Yeongseong would not just let it be.

Before that, he had to take care of them all with this one attack.

Cheon Myeong thought so and swung his sword at the sa ti as he rushed at the warriors.

Swaa-!

As Cheon Myeong swung his sword, five streams of gang ki were shot at the warriors.

The gang ki, which was divided into five streams, rushed at their respective opponents, and two of them were rcilessly cut down by the gang ki of the Mad Dragon's Claw Marks Slash and lost their lives.

'Two...'

He should have killed at least three with this attack.

The fact that there were still three alive could be said to be a very big mistake for Cheon Myeong.

Cheok-

It's not too late yet.

If he hurried, he might be able to kill more warriors without being disturbed by Su Yeongseong.

Cheon Myeong thought so and swung his sword at the warriors again.

Flash-!

At that mont, there was a person who appeared like a flash of light and disturbed Cheon Myeong.

Su Yeongseong's sword strike, which lifted Cheon Myeong's sword diagonally from the side.

Thanks to that, Cheon Myeong's gang ki, which should have originally flown towards the warriors, soared up.

"You're thinking of sothing very interesting."

"..."

"It's not a bad idea. But now that I've found out your trick, it has beco a bad idea."

Su Yeongseong said with a sneer, his sword clashing with Cheon Myeong's.

In fact, although Su Yeongseong was smiling, he was in a state of being quite chilled.

Because if all the warriors had been defeated by that one blow just now, he would no longer be able to fight on equal terms with Cheon Myeong.

The reason why Su Yeongseong had been able to fight on equal terms with Cheon Myeong until now was because he had used a trick of the Thunderclap Divine Art.

'He didn't notice that... did he?'

A trick of the Thunderclap Divine Art.

Like a raging fire that burns before it goes out, by consuming more internal energy than usual, the user of the Thunderclap Divine Art can have a physical ability beyond their original.

Since it could be said that one's physical ability becos several tis stronger than usual, it might sound very good at a glance, but of course, there is a disadvantage here.

That is, because it consus an excessive amount of internal energy, the ti it can be maintained is not that long.

Moreover, when the duration ends, aftereffects remain, and he didn't know how his body would be broken.

So although Su Yeongseong had only known of its existence until now and had never used it in a real battle like this, since he thought that it didn't matter if he beca the last fla with this battle, he was using it in this place now.

'If I use the Star-Sucking Great Art, I can maintain the 'Raging Lightning' state for a longer ti.'

Su Yeongseong now called this state 'Raging Lightning'.

It didn't seem that Cheon Myeong had completely seen through the weakness of the Raging Lightning and had aid for the warriors.

Perhaps Cheon Myeong's martial artist's instinct had made him realize the weakness of the Raging Lightning to so extent.

Although it could be said to be a formidable opponent, that was also the end.

From the mont this side found out what Cheon Myeong was aiming for, his victory could be said to have beco even closer.

Crackle-

If so, then he just had to push him even more fiercely so that Cheon Myeong would not even have a chance to aim for the warriors.

The energy emitted from Su Yeongseong's body began to beco even more fierce.

"Su Yeongseong, I will kill those warriors before you!"

At that mont, Cheon Myeong suddenly began to shout like that.

Of course, for Su Yeongseong, it was an action that he couldn't help but be puzzled by.

Not only was it out of the blue, but to blurt out one's own plan to the enemy like that could only be thought of as foolish.

"Do you want to kill them that much?"

"..."

"But you will no longer have the leisure to do that!"

Su Yeongseong said that and swung his sword at Cheon Myeong in succession.

Accordingly, unlike what he had declared in advance, Cheon Myeong just blocked Su Yeongseong's sword strikes.

'You persistent bastard, die! Die!'

Su Yeongseong was now expressing the anger he had been accumulating towards Cheon Myeong in this place.

A series of strikes perford so fiercely that even the onlookers would tremble.

As Su Yeongseong continued to swing his sword one-sidedly with a murderous expression, Cheon Myeong finally began to take a step back for the first ti.

'Now!'

He had taken a step back for the first ti.

With the thought of never letting this montum go, Su Yeongseong took a stance.

Swish-

Su Yeongseong stomped his left foot on the ground and pulled back the hand that was holding the sword.

And at that mont.

As the surroundings were filled with the sound of thunder, Su Yeongseong thrust his sword.

'I got him!'

Looking at his own sword strike heading towards Cheon Myeong's heart, Su Yeongseong was sure.

However, just before Su Yeongseong's sword strike reached his heart, Cheon Myeong skillfully swung his sword and twisted the sword strike, and in the end, Su Yeongseong's sword could not pierce Cheon Myeong's heart and only grazed his forearm.

Crackle-

Blood did not flow from the wound where Su Yeongseong's sword strike had grazed.

Instead, an electric shock lingered there and instantly entered through the wound.

If the attack had been properly stuck in Cheon Myeong's heart, his heart would have stopped in an instant.

Cheon Myeong was barely able to get away from Su Yeongseong's side and catch his breath for a mont.

"As expected... you cling to your life in any way."

"..."

"But in the end, you will just die by my sword. Do you still not know that fact?"

Although Su Yeongseong said that, Cheon Myeong did not show any reaction.

Looking at him, Su Yeongseong soon shook his head.

Although he wanted to rush at Cheon Myeong and kill him right now if he had his way, Su Yeongseong knew that at tis like this, he had to act more calmly.

'The Raging Lightning will end soon.'

In fact, it seed that he could kill Cheon Myeong with the remaining ti.

Because he could also feel that Cheon Myeong's strength had beco much weaker than at the beginning.

However, in order not to repeat the sa mistake, Su Yeongseong decided to move more cautiously.

"Wait there for a bit."

"..."

"After I recover my strength, I will surely pierce your heart."

Su Yeongseong said that and sneered at Cheon Myeong.

But at that mont.

Discovering the smile that appeared on Cheon Myeong's lips, Su Yeongseong's expression instantly hardened.

"...Why are you smiling?"

Su Yeongseong asked Cheon Myeong.

Then, Cheon Myeong said to Su Yeongseong, still maintaining the smile on his lips.

"How are you going to recover your strength?"

"...What?"

What is that guy talking about now?

Isn't it obvious that he would recover his strength through the Star-Sucking Great Art?

Su Yeongseong could not understand what on earth Cheon Myeong was talking about.

"Of course, through the Star-Sucking Great Art..."

"Have you still not noticed?"

"...?"

"In my eyes, it seems that there are no more guys who will give you their internal energy so kindly."

Su Yeongseong thought that Cheon Myeong's words were nonsense.

Although it was true that two of the five had died by Cheon Myeong, weren't there still three of his subordinates left?

That alone would be enough to deal with Cheon Myeong.

Su Yeongseong thought so and looked around and said.

"As you're about to die, you're still bluffing like that..."

Su Yeongseong's voice began to get smaller.

In contrast, his two eyes, which had widened as if he couldn't believe it.

Why couldn't he see those guys?

Su Yeongseong hurriedly turned his head and tried to find the remaining three warriors, but far from the warriors, not even their shadows were visible.

"D-don't tell ..."

Su Yeongseong muttered that and looked at Cheon Myeong again.

"Are you saying you took care of my subordinates!"

From the circumstances, he had no choice but to think so.

If not, then there would be no reason for the guys who had definitely been there until just a mont ago to suddenly disappear.

However.

'When on earth?'

The part that Su Yeongseong could not understand was that.

Since he had been sticking to him like a leech and had been attacking continuously, Cheon Myeong would not have had any chance to take care of the warriors.

Su Yeongseong continued to look at Cheon Myeong with a gaze full of questions.

"Are you curious? When I took care of those guys."

At that mont, Cheon Myeong opened his mouth and said.

Although he did not like that arrogant attitude, since he could not understand what this situation was at all, Su Yeongseong silently waited for Cheon Myeong's words.

"The one who took care of those guys was not ."

"...What?"

"You can co out now."

As Cheon Myeong said that, as if they had been waiting, a new presence appeared from sowhere.

Su Yeongseong belatedly noticed that presence and looked at that side, and soon, his two eyes widened and he could not hide his astonishnt.

"You...!"

The four people who were walking this way.

At the front was Yu Eunseong, and behind her, Heo Cham and two mbers of the Chunguidae were following.
