The Heavenly Demon Who Reigns Chapter 95 : The Results of Training (2)

Cheon Myeong secretly clenched his fist as he looked at the mark on the pillar.

In fact, when Cheon Jin had instructed Cheon Seong to cut down that pillar, Cheon Myeong had been slightly anxious.

Because he had thought that if there were even a slight mistake, Cheon Seong would not be able to cut down that pillar with his skills.

However, Cheon Seong had perford the best sword technique he could in this place, and as a result, he had cut down that thick pillar at once.

'Well, strictly speaking, that's not cutting it down, but destroying it.'

But that couldn't be helped.

Since that was the characteristic of the move called Mad Dragon Single Strike Slash, the lower part had no choice but to be shattered as if it had been struck with a blunt weapon.

Of course, if he were to improve his skills further, he might not have to cut it down so loudly, but it was impossible for the current Cheon Seong to show that level.

Swish-.

But still, it was an undeniable fact that Cheon Seong had cut down the pillar.

No matter how much it was Cheon Jin, he would not be able to be stubborn after seeing the pillar whose lower part had disappeared.

'Now, what are you going to do?'

Cheon Myeong asked so inwardly as he looked at the side where Cheon Jin was sitting.

However, Cheon Jin, who was not saying anything with his gaze fixed.

Could it be that he had beco mute because Cheon Seong had cut down the pillar, contrary to his expectation?

Recalling his usual arrogant appearance, Cheon Myeong felt sowhat refreshed inside.

Crack-.

At that mont, the sound of a crack forming from the pillar was heard loudly.

However, unlike until now, the sound was created from the top, not the bottom.

Since Cheon Seong had completely cut off the bottom part, the pillar could no longer bear the load, and a crack had ford in the part connected to the ceiling.

Crack, crack-.

If what was hanging on the ceiling like an icicle were to fall, what would happen next?

Of course, it was the law of nature to fall to the floor and collapse.

And the pillar that Cheon Seong had cut down also fell down according to the law of nature and was about to collapse, having lost its balance.

"..."

A look of bewildernt appeared on the faces of the people who were looking at the collapsing pillar.

The people in this place had the skills to be able to avoid a collapsing pillar.

So if the pillar were to fall towards them, it would be a problem that could be solved by just avoiding it, but the reason why bewildernt appeared on their faces was because of the direction in which the pillar was falling.

Thump-!

The pillar was falling exactly in the direction where the grand chair was placed.

And of course, Cheon Jin was sitting there, and even though the pillar was falling on his head, he did not even move a single inch.

"Leader!"

Looking at him, most of them shouted at Cheon Jin as if to tell him to avoid it, but just one person was cheering for the falling pillar inside.

'Yes! Just like that, break that guy's head!'

He had been feeling a little frustrated because his anger towards Cheon Jin had not been completely relieved.

And now that pillar was trying to relieve that frustration.

So how could he just stand still?

Cheon Myeong desperately cheered for the collapsing pillar inside.

'Go!'

Anyway, this was sothing that had happened by a chance accident.

Of course, he didn't think that Cheon Jin would die from just that, but couldn't it at least give him a shock to the extent of hitting him on the back of the head?

Since he could not hit Cheon Jin on the back of the head, it seed that he would have no wish if that pillar were to do that role for him.

Bang-!

The pillar finally fell on Cheon Jin's head.

At that mont, the inner palace was covered with thick dust, and in it, only silence flowed.

"..."

Who on earth could hit Cheon Jin's head like that?

It was safe to say that there was no one in the main headquarters with that much guts.

But to think that a re pillar had done that.

Since it was difficult to accept such a situation, no one in the inner palace could easily speak.

'Did it hit?'

Cheon Myeong thought so and looked at the grand chair, which was covered with dust.

However, since the dust was thick, he could not confirm Cheon Jin's appearance with his naked eye.

Sss-.

As ti passed, the dust gradually began to settle.

With that, the appearance of Cheon Jin, who had been hidden in it, also began to be seen.

"..."

Even though the pillar had fallen on his head, Cheon Jin was still sitting on the grand chair.

Just by looking at him, Cheon Jin was sitting there so calmly that it made one wonder if anything had happened just now.

Of course, it didn't seem that he had even a scratch.

'...Tsk.'

Looking at Cheon Jin, who was sitting perfectly fine, Cheon Myeong clicked his tongue inside.

As expected, even with that pillar, he couldn't even scratch Cheon Jin.

It seed that Cheon Jin's protective energy far exceeded Cheon Myeong's expectation.

'But still, seeing him covered in dust makes feel a little better.'

Although he might not have been injured, Cheon Jin's state was now a ss.

To think that the leader of the Demonic Cult was covered in dust.

If Bang Gitae were to find out about this, he might be so shocked that he would fall back.

"L-leader..."

"..."

"I'm sorry!"

Although Cheon Myeong was feeling schadenfreude at Cheon Jin's current state, it seed that Cheon Seong was not.

And for good reason, since the reason why Cheon Jin was in such a state was because Cheon Seong had cut down the pillar.

Since the pillar he had cut down had fallen on Cheon Jin's head, in a way, it was the sa as trying to threaten the leader's body.

'He's not going to bla Cheon Seong for that, is he?'

After all, wasn't it Cheon Jin who had ordered him to cut down the pillar?

Cheon Seong had just followed that order as it was.

So Cheon Myeong thought that there was no reason for Cheon Jin to bla Cheon Seong, but the one who decided that was, after all, Cheon Jin's authority.

Cheon Myeong could no longer enjoy this situation.

Woong-!

At that mont, a trendous energy was felt from Cheon Jin's side.

At the sa ti, an energy that was spreading out in all directions from Cheon Jin's body.

It was not just that energy was flowing out.

At the sa ti as the energy, a physical shock also spread out in all directions.

'This is...'

It was a situation similar to when Cheon Myeong had released his energy in the hospital room before.

However, the amount of energy flowing out and the shock were different.

At that ti, Cheon Myeong had simply blown away the things in the hospital room, but Cheon Jin was blowing away the debris of the pillar that was scattered on the floor.

"..."

A power as if a typhoon were raging from the front.

After a storm had raged like that, the inner palace beca quiet again.

'Am I going to die now?'

Cheon Seong thought so as he lowered the arm he was holding.

To think that he would release his energy so threateningly. Wouldn't it an that Cheon Jin was that angry?

And he didn't have to think about what the cause was.

'I have to bow my head now...'

Although he had vowed not to bow his head anymore, wasn't the situation different now?

Not bowing one's head was a law that could only be done when there was so chance of winning.

The being in front of him now could be said to be a huge cliff whose end could not be seen no matter how much he looked up.

Unconditionally begging for forgiveness was the way to be able to preserve his own life.

"Leader..."

At the mont he was about to prostrate himself on the floor with words of apology, Cheon Seong stopped his motion because of a loud sound that suddenly echoed through the inner palace.

"Hahahaha-!"

The sound that echoed through the inner palace was the sound of laughter. And that too, a hearty laughter to the extent that it seed that it would be heard even by the people outside the inner palace.

To dare to laugh in this way in this situation, only a guy who wanted to commit suicide in this place would laugh in that way.

However, recognizing the identity of the person who was laughing, everyone had an expression of not being able to understand at all.

"...?"

And that was the sa for Cheon Myeong.

He was just staring blankly at the appearance of Cheon Jin, who was laughing in front of him.

'This guy... has he gone mad?'

Could it be that the pillar had an effect?

Although he had thought that he would have blocked it all with his protective energy, it was possible that there had been a shock to his head.

If not, there was no way Cheon Jin would be laughing so loudly in this situation.

Yes, that's right. That must be the answer.

"Kuhahaha-!"

"..."

Cheon Jin's laughter continued for a while.

Not only did people not know the reason why Cheon Jin was laughing, but more than anything else, that appearance felt quite unfamiliar.

'The Leader is laughing?'

It was Cheon Jin who had never laughed in front of anyone.

And that was the sa for Bang Gitae, who had been by Cheon Jin's side for the longest ti.

But for such a Cheon Jin to be laughing more heartily than anyone else in this place now... people rather felt that that appearance was eerie.

"Haha..."

At the sa ti as the laughter stopped, Cheon Jin returned to an expressionless face.

And he said to Cheon Seong with a voice that matched his expression.

"I acknowledge it."

"..."

"You are the one who killed Hwang Dongyeong."

Why on earth was he saying that all of a sudden?

Since there was a bigger problem than that, Cheon Seong said cautiously.

"Will you not... punish ?"

"Why? I said I would punish you if you could not cut down that pillar."

"But since the pillar I cut down threatened the Leader..."

"Threat?"

At the sa ti, Cheon Jin's prayer beca sharp again.

"Did you say that a re pillar like that would be a threat to ?"

"N-no! I just..."

"...Step back."

At the sa ti as those words, Cheon Jin's montum subsided again.

Although he didn't know what was going on, it seed that Cheon Jin had no intention of punishing him.

Before he changed his mind, Cheon Seong quickly got out of that place and joined the line where the people were standing.

"..."

Looking at him, Cheon Myeong wrapped his chin with his right hand.

This was a habit that ca out when Cheon Myeong was in deep thought.

As much as that, there were many questionable points in Cheon Jin's actions.

'...Is he just letting it go?'

Since he had released his montum to the fullest a while ago, he had thought that he was definitely angry.

He got angry, then suddenly laughed... as expected, he was a guy whose inside could not be known at all.

'Could it be...'

At that mont, an absurd thought ca to Cheon Myeong's mind.

'Was the release of his energy to shake off the dust on his clothes... no, right?'

Co to think of it, the dust that had been on Cheon Jin's body had disappeared at so point.

And that was the sa for the grand chair and the debris that was scattered around it.

Although the inner palace had beco more of a ss because of the debris that Cheon Jin had blown away, at least Cheon Jin and the grand chair were clean.

'...This is absurd.'

No matter how he thought about it, it seed that that was the only reason.

To think that the release of that much energy was for the purpose of just shaking off the dust.

Although he was a guy he didn't like, he had no choice but to acknowledge his skills.

"Since a little entertainnt is over, I will tell you the reason why I have gathered you here."

At that mont, Cheon Jin suddenly said to the people.

The reason why he had gathered them here, wasn't that reason, of course, to confirm Cheon Seong's skills?

Since Cheon Myeong had only been thinking so, he couldn't help but have a question.

"One of you will succeed and beco the leader of this cult."

"..."

"Until now, I have just left you alone under the na of disciples, but from now on, I will decide for sure."

At that mont, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the people. And that was the sa for Cheon Myeong.

It was Cheon Jin who had not made any ntion of this part until now.

Although he had thought that it was strange that he had suddenly gathered the disciples in one place... to think that this was the purpose.

'Does this an that from now on, I will have a full-scale power struggle with these guys?'

Although he didn't know what Cheon Jin would say from now on, such a current was already flowing in the inner palace.

And in that current, Cheon Jin said.

"In this place, I will decide your ranks."
