The Youngest Member of the Martial Alliance Chapter 190

As Cheon Woojin, who was holding the First Young Master's neck, applied strength to his hand, his neck was tightened as if it would break at any mont.

"F-First Young Master...!"

The elites of the Ma family looked at this with a bewildered expression.

They were also among the top ard units in the Demonic Cult. Nevertheless, they could not even properly grasp what had happened right in front of them.

'What on earth happened?'

The grand elder, Ma Cheongeon, who was leading the ard unit, replayed the situation that had just happened.

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader had clearly made the first move. After that, the Emotionless Guest, who seed to have been trapped in his ultimate technique, suddenly appeared in front of the First Young Master.

The Demonic Cult's divine object, the Small Demon Sword, and a small fan had clashed.

Surprisingly, the sword had broken in half.

The broken blade had rushed towards the Greedy Demon Sect Leader. In the anti, while his gaze was montarily distracted, the Emotionless Guest's hand was holding the First Young Master.

"Keueueuk..."

The First Young Master's groan woke him from his thoughts.

The Emotionless Guest was still looking at the First Young Master with a dry gaze. As long as the First Young Master's lifeline was in his hands, no one from the Ma family could move recklessly.

However, there was still hope.

'The fact that he didn't twist his neck right away ans there's room for conversation.'

Ma Cheongeon, like a seasoned demonic person, maintained his composure.

He ordered the elites of the Ma family with his eyes not to move recklessly. It was the worst thing to provoke the opponent in this situation.

"Hey, Emotionless Guest."

Cheon Woojin turned his head at his call.

In an instant, Ma Cheongeon, who had t Cheon Woojin's gaze, felt as if he were falling into an endless well. Just by eting his eyes, his back was soaked with sweat.

"Why do you call?"

"We will surrender. Let the First Young Master go."

At that, the First Young Master managed to turn his head and glare at Ma Cheongeon.

The First Young Master was not a person who clung to his own death.

There was no defeat in his demonic path. It was better to turn his back on the world than to beco a surviving loser.

Ma Cheongeon managed to avert his gaze.

Although he knew the First Young Master's demonic path better than anyone, he could not let the eldest son of the family and a young master of the Demonic Cult die in vain.

"Surrender."

Cheon Woojin muttered to himself in a low voice.

Namgung Jin and Tang Soyeon were trying hard to grasp the wavering enlightennt in front of them. If he could end it without fighting, that would be a better judgnt.

As Cheon Woojin showed a sign of hesitation, a deeper hope appeared in Ma Cheongeon's eyes.

Although the First Young Master was glaring at him as if he would kill him, he had to survive to plan for the future.

- No one move a muscle!

Ma Cheongeon once again restrained the elites of the Ma family.

Since each and every one of them was a master, they might make a sudden move when they faced a dangerous person like the Emotionless Guest. Because that was the instinct of a human, of a master.

It was then.

In an instant, Ma Cheongeon's gaze turned to a distant place.

It was the Greedy Demon Sect Leader, whose shoulder had been pierced by the half-broken Small Demon Sword. His steps were heading towards the two successors who were sitting cross-legged.

'This fool!'

He was taking care of the wound on his pierced shoulder, but when he couldn't stand it, he seed to be about to perform the Star-Absorbing Great Art as he always did.

Since his Star-Absorbing Great Art could absorb even life force, that kind of wound would heal in an instant. But what was the use if the First Young Master died?

"Greedy Demon Sect Leader!"

Ma Cheongeon hurriedly let out a roar.

Nevertheless, the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's steps were still heading towards Namgung Jin and Tang Soyeon. His pupils were already deeply colored with only anger and instinct.

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader was a person who cherished his own body more than anyone else. Although he had a theoretically immortal body, he rather valued his own worth very highly.

Since there was a hole in such a body.

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader no longer cared about the First Young Master's safety. The impulse to take the two successors and kill the Emotionless Guest ca first.

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader's hand headed for Namgung Jin's shoulder.

Namgung Jin also, as if his state of selflessness had been sowhat disturbed, was sweating on his forehead and twitching his eyebrows.

He had clearly felt the threat approaching.

Nevertheless, Namgung Jin did not completely break his imrsion.

It was an action based on blind faith.

Namgung Jin's choice was right.

Cheon Woojin was a person who lived up to his trust.

With the sound of sothing breaking in half, the First Young Master's body fell to the ground.

It was the mont when the thirty years of his life as a young master without becoming the young cult leader and his grand demonic path were broken in vain.

Just before the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's hand touched Namgung Jin's shoulder.

Cheon Woojin grabbed his wrist one step ahead.

As if he had felt this even with his eyes closed, Namgung Jin's expression also beca much more relaxed.

On the other hand, the Greedy Demon Sect Leader also had a deep smile. The corners of his mouth, which had no wrinkles even at the age of ninety, were curled up to a hideous degree.

"You caught ?"

The Star-Absorbing Great Art.

A legendary demonic art that took both internal energy and life force.

So even dared to evaluate the Star-Absorbing Great Art as superior to the Heavenly Demon Divine Art.

Because a mortal human could enjoy a life close to immortality, and as long as there was life on earth, they could have infinite power.

The way to perform it was also very simple.

Just physical contact.

That was all. There were no other conditions.

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader's two eyes shone fiercely with a purple light.

It was a characteristic that appeared when the Star-Absorbing Great Art was perford.

Cheon Woojin felt sothing unpleasant and tried to pull his palm away. But an unknown force was preventing it.

Soon, Cheon Woojin's dantian began to squirm on its own, and his internal energy began to flow out through his palm.

At the sa ti, the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's wound healed in an instant.

"It absorbs the opponent's internal energy and uses it as its own. It's a peculiar demonic art."

Even though his internal energy was being taken away, Cheon Woojin's evaluation was bland.

Ma Cheongeon, who was watching this from a distance, shouted.

"Attack!"

The First Young Master was already dead.

If so, he had to at least take the Emotionless Guest's head.

Although the young cult leader would co from among the Second and Fifth Young Masters, the Ma family needed his head if they were not to surrender unilaterally.

The elites of the Ma family rushed in.

The dozen or so swords and sabers they had extended stabbed at Cheon Woojin's back. Cheon Woojin could not move a single step due to the influence of the Star-Absorbing Great Art.

In front, the Greedy Demon Sect Leader was taking his internal energy, and behind, the elites of the Demonic Cult were stabbing him with blades.

A dozen or so swords and sabers stabbed at Cheon Woojin's back.

But instead of the sound of flesh being torn, a heavy tallic sound erupted.

Cheon Woojin, without taking a single step, just wrapped his back with a protective ki and blocked it.

A look of bewildernt appeared on the faces of the demonic people.

No matter how much of a protective ki it was, how could a dozen or so masters who had reached the late stage of the peak realm stab him with swords and sabers and he could block it so easily?

But the surprise was not over.

Cheon Woojin, ignoring the blades on his back, was still looking at the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's face.

Unlike Cheon Woojin, who had been calm from the beginning to the end, the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's expression began to change rapidly.

The sticky and fierce smile disappeared.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his two pupils suddenly began to turn black.

"W-what..."

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader was rarely surprised.

Although he had taken the internal energy of over a thousand people in his lifeti, this was truly the first ti he had experienced this.

The absorbed internal energy was not being controlled.

Rather, it was violently rotating his body and causing countless injuries to his ki ridians and blood vessels.

Although he wanted to stop the Star-Absorbing Great Art, that was also not easy.

Just as a once-opened water gate could not be easily closed due to the strong current, he could not stop because a huge amount of internal energy was pouring in.

"Stop...!"

The Greedy Demon Sect Leader could not even finish his words.

A deep disbelief was in his pupils.

Even though he had taken an enormous quality and quantity of internal energy that he could not even handle, how could the Emotionless Guest's expression be so calm?

Although he had taken away an amount that an ordinary martial artist could not accumulate even in hundreds of years, the stream of internal energy that was pouring in was not decreasing at all.

How much internal energy did he have?

However, he had made a mistake.

It was not simply a matter of the amount of internal energy.

Cheon Woojin looked at the Greedy Demon Sect Leader, who was shedding tears of blood, and asked in a low voice.

"Did you think you could handle the dark heavenly ki?"

"...!"

If a very small amount of dark heavenly ki was injected into the brain, even a master of the peak realm would go mad. But since he had taken such a huge amount of dark heavenly ki, how could he be fine?

It was just a natural sequence for the inside of the Greedy Demon Sect Leader's entire body to be torn apart.

Wrinkles began to form on his face, which had been taut even at the age of ninety. The blood that poured from his eyes and nose flowed through the wrinkles.

By the ti his body, which had been as strong as that of a twenty-year-old, was suddenly shrinking at a trendous speed.

Cheon Woojin threw the Greedy Demon Sect Leader whole.

The elites of the Ma family caught him in a daze and were pushed back. This was the worst choice.

A huge explosion that literally shook the earth erupted.

It was natural since an unbearable amount of internal energy had been forcibly pressed into that small body.

Cheon Woojin lightly swung his Crane Feather Fan to protect Namgung Jin and Tang Soyeon from the explosion.

By the ti the huge explosion had subsided.

Cheon Woojin, who had squeezed through the aftereffects of the dense ki, rushed to Ma Cheongeon and drew a straight line with his Crane Feather Fan.

A red blood line was drawn from Ma Cheongeon's crown to his groin.

Soon, as the Crane Feather Fan fluttered, a white whirlwind that poured out swallowed his body whole.

The white whirlwind, which had swallowed all the elites of the Ma family, including Ma Cheongeon, gradually grew in size. By the ti it had beco so huge that it seed to touch the clouds and everyone was looking at it with fearful eyes.

When Cheon Woojin withdrew his Crane Feather Fan, the whirlwind scattered as if it had been washed away.

The dozens of demonic people who had been trapped in it had long since disappeared.

There were no screams, no bodies, not even any trace of death.

So it was even more frightening.

The Second Young Master, the elites of the Jin family, and the Lust Demon Sect Leader looked at the series of events with a dazed expression.

They did not seem to have the will to fight. They were in a state where they had not yet recovered from the shock of what had just happened.

Therefore, Cheon Woojin did not bother to pay attention to them.

He was just briefly checking the condition of Namgung Jin and Tang Soyeon.

A rather long silence continued.

Suddenly, Cheon Woojin nodded as if satisfied.

Following that, when Namgung Jin and Tang Soyeon opened their eyes, a light resembling the night sky and green vegetation, respectively, shone and then disappeared.

"Congratulations."

They had not reached the peak realm.

But it was not a disappointing thing.

How could a martial artist who was just over twenty reach the peak realm? That realm was a realm that even among the elders of the Nine Sects and Five Great Families, few had achieved.

However, they had made one of the certain steps to the peak realm. This was a great achievent that would shake the entire martial world if the rumor spread.

Namgung Jin blinked his eyes.

Although he was standing on the sa ground as before, the world looked different. Sothing was brighter and clearer, and his senses, which had beco arbitrarily sensitive, were telling him things he had not felt before.

Only then did he realize.

Why he had been defeated by Jin Yun, who had returned after fighting with the Ice Palace. Since Jin Yun and Song Yiyeon had already entered this realm, he would have lost all a hundred tis even if he had fought a hundred tis.

The wall he had just crossed was that huge.

Tang Soyeon was also feeling a similar impression.

On the one hand, she also felt sorry. Although she had returned to the Martial Alliance to help her benefactor, Cheon Woojin, she sohow felt that she was always receiving help.

"You two have worked hard."

Cheon Woojin praised them blandly and then turned around.

A man was standing in front of him with his sword drawn.

It was the Second Young Master of the Demonic Cult, Jin Somyeong.

Cheon Woojin's eyes, which had t him, had a hint of interest.

"Why did you draw your sword when you don't even want to fight?"

"This is my demonic path."

Cheon Woojin nodded at the answer, which had no hesitation.

The First Young Master's demonic path was absurd. The Third Young Master's demonic path was arrogant, and the Fourth Young Master's demonic path was pathetic.

Naturally, he beca curious.

"What is your demonic path?"
