## Chapter 1638 – Chronicles of the Sword Demon – Heavenly Demon Martial Arts

“Kyaaaaaaaak!”

I repeat the process of breaking and smashing, analyzing the flow of power emanating from that Taoist bastard. After doing so, I was able to grasp it to some extent.

It’s quite a peculiar energy.

Since it’s energy from another world, it’s naturally peculiar, but this is somewhat mystical. It’s similar to mana yet different. I should learn this sometime. If I delve into it properly, I might be able to further strengthen my power.

The enterprising Heavenly Demon Kim Kat-teu seizes such opportunities as chances for growth.

Anyway.

“Hehehe. You son of a bitch. Why didn’t you answer? You really don’t have a way to resist, so you’re pretending you can’t hear me on purpose to make me burst a blood vessel, huh? Huh?”
“Keuheuk…!”
“I asked you, and you still didn’t answer! I asked you, and you still didn’t answer! I asked you, and you still didn’t answer! Uwaaaaaaaa! Why is it always like this! Because you keep doing that, it makes it seem like what I’m saying is true!!!”

—Swaeeeek!

Too enraged, I grabbed the Sicheon Taoist’s wrist and swung it around like a sword, performing a human sword dance!

—Ppeogeudeok!
—Ppeogeogeok!

“Human Sword Dance Desu-aaaaaaat!”
“Hieeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Unable to withstand my fierce sword dance, the Sicheon Taoist’s entire body is once again shattered. I crushed all the bones in his body, turning him into a human slime.

“Slimy Lehu.”

Of course, the Taoist didn’t die from just this.

“Geh, gehaek…! Geheeeeek…”

Half-assed strength only amplifies the pain. For me, a man skilled in killing, or rather, a ‘killing Taoist,’ suppressing a superhuman and giving him the maximum amount of pain while keeping him alive was an easy task.

Is this all the power you gained from running a murder factory? This bastard needs to experience even more overwhelming deaths in the future.

“Hehehe.”

The Sicheon Taoist is someone who has transcended humanity.

While my abilities can’t heal ordinary people, I can heal someone with such powerful strength to some extent.

“Heavenly Demon Healing.”

—Hwareureuk.

I healed the Sicheon Taoist, who was utterly devastated. The crushed bones of the guy wrapped in white flames were pieced together, and the fractured surfaces fused together… Okay, that should be enough.

“Kkeueuk…!”

I grabbed his hair and lifted him up, asking again.

“I still haven’t heard an answer. I’ll ask again. You see these white walls, right?”
“Keuk, eugh! Keuheoheuk!”
“You see these white walls!!!!!!!”
“I, I see them! I see them!”

Now my frustrated heart is somewhat relieved!

I have to beat him like this to get an answer!

“Hoo. Isn’t it so much better when you answer like that?”
“It is! It is!”
“Hehehe, I’m satisfied. But actually, I knew everything. I knew that you weren’t deliberately not answering, but that you were so flustered that my words weren’t registering in your head. But I pretended to believe otherwise and beat the shit out of you to hear the story. You understand, right?”

It’s an obvious thing, but Heavenly Demon Kim Kat-teu isn’t someone who can’t distinguish such acting. Just now, I was deliberately acting crazy and having a fit to instill fear.

“I, I understand! I understand! Heueuk!”
“Good. Anyway, these white walls are all my barrier. Got it?”
“I understand!”

Now I can hear the story.

—Teoreok.

Only then did I let go of the Sicheon Taoist.

“Keuk… Heueuk!”

His filthy, sewage-like green hair, which was really well-maintained and worth looking at when I first saw it, was now just disheveled. It was a mess, like the fur of a shaggy dog that had been dipped in a green paint bucket.

The Sicheon Taoist sniffled in that state.

“Name.”
“Da, Dang So-hwi! My name is Dang So-hwi!”
“Really? But why are you saying that now? Shouldn’t you have said it when you first saw me?”
“Th, that’s! At first, I thought you were an attacker, so I didn’t think there was a need to reveal my name!”
“I look like an attacker!!! This bastard is so absurd!! You son of a bitch!!! Do I look like an attacker to you!!!”
“Hieeeeik! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

After pretending to get angry for a moment, Dang So-hwi, the Sicheon Taoist, was completely terrified and slammed his forehead against the floor.

“Heueuk! Heueueuk! Heu-eut, heueueuk!”
“Cry! Cry!”

Seeing this human butcher crying, I couldn’t help but clap my hands in excitement.

—Clap clap clap!
—Clap clap clap!
—Clap clap clap!

“Cry! Cry! Cry more!!! Cry! I said cry!!!”
“Kkeuheueuk…! Keuheuk!”
“Cry more!!! You son of a bitch!!! Does it sound like I’m not serious?! Why aren’t you crying more! Cry your eyes out, you son of a bitch!!!!”
“Heueueueueuk! Heukkeuheueueuk!”

Now he’s crying in a way that’s worth seeing.

“Hehehe.”

I immediately summoned a chair and sat on it.

“This bastard really cries when I tell him to. Hey. Shut up. You’re being noisy.”
“…”
“Good. I like that you listen well.”

It’s too boring now that he’s suddenly quiet.

So I stretched out my finger and shot a beam reduced to the size of a pencil.

“Hoiit.”

—Pook!

The moment the small beam shot out and pierced through the back of his hand, creating a hole.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!”

A scream erupted once again.

“Hahahaha! Look at this bastard screaming in surprise! Hehehe! Hey! I’ll let you off for screaming because it was funny!”

It’s like a gag concert!

“Heueueueuk! Why are you doing this! Are you really a divine immortal!”

Perhaps because a hole had been made in his palm, Dang So-hwi cried out loudly and pleaded, as if his sorrow had exploded.

“Do I look like a divine immortal to you?”
“I don’t know! I don’t know! Why are you doing this to me…! Heueuk! What reason do you have for insulting and attacking me like this! I don’t know where you came from, but this is against all morality! Heueuk! Heueueut!”

He really looks wronged.

“Morality.”

The wicked monster was whimpering weakly, invoking morality.

My murderous intent soared.

I want to kill him right away, but I can’t.

“Morality, doesn’t that mean the right path?”
“That’s right! This is an extremely unfair act of violence! Why would someone like you…!”
“So it’s against morality?”
“Heueuk! Heueueuk! I, I’ll answer yes!”
“No. It’s the opposite. I’m doing this because I know morality.”
“Wh, what?”
“You, you Taoist son of a bitch. How much have you used the elixir technique until now?”

The thick scent of blood emanating from him.

This was a scent that even truly professional pleasure-killing maniacs couldn’t produce, even if they spent their entire lives doing crazy things. It was to the point where I could see the resentment of the humans he had killed.

“Yo, you mean the elixir technique…? Of course, I’ve been using it all my life…”
“How many people have you used as materials?”
“Su, surely you’re not questioning the materials used in the elixir technique?”
“Hello! I asked you a question, and you didn’t answer again! I’m going to fucking beat you again!”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaak!”
“No, I’m just going to bite you!”

—Waang!

I immediately grabbed the Sicheon Taoist’s forearm and bit down hard, tearing off the flesh!

“Aaaaaaaak! Aaaaaaaak!”
“How many people have you used as materials!”
“Fo, for my whole life! I’ve been doing it my whole life, so I don’t know!!! Uwaaaaak!”

His whole life, huh.

—Tuk.

I let go of the Taoist again.

“I’ve only used some of the lower beings as materials!!”

He cried out again.

“I can’t understand…! Are you a relative of the dead humans!”
“No. I don’t even care who the dead bastards are.”
“But whyyyyyyy! Why are you doing this! Heueuk!”
“Hehehe, why indeed.”

The way he’s talking is quite amusing. I briefly stopped the violence and indulged in the Sicheon Taoist’s wailing.

“It’s because you slaughtered countless people and used them as materials for the elixir technique.”

Do you need a reason like being a relative or something to do what’s right and uphold justice?

A person died cruelly, but just because that person has no relation to me and I’m not at all curious about them.

Should I just let that go?

No.

Breaking down such fucked up things is precisely the fusion Confucianism of this Heavenly Demon Kim Kat-teu. I don’t even care what kind of bastards the people I’m trying to save are. I just do it. Because it’s natural for me.

“It’s fucked up that you kill people and turn them into medicine.”
“Ju, just for that reason…!”

The Sicheon Taoist wailed as if he was about to die from injustice.

“You’re not just trying to imitate a chivalrous hero!”

It’s not imitation, it’s the real thing.

“Countless people are born and die every day in this world! Livestock are doing the same, and even the smallest creatures are doing it! To do such a terrible thing just because you used humans as medicinal ingredients!”

What an amazing way of thinking.

“This is no different from torturing someone so cruelly just for eating a meal!”
“Ooh.”

While talking about terrible things, he doesn’t think at all about the terrible things he has done. This was something the Taoist said because humans are really just like livestock to him.

I’m starting to understand the Taoists’ way of thinking.

“Do you really think it’s acceptable to inflict such pain! For someone as strong as you to torture me while imitating a chivalrous hero…!”

—Cheoreok!

The Sicheon Taoist, who had somehow stood up, glared at me and shouted.

“You are the evil immortal! An existence that deviates from common sense, reason! And morality!”

—Dudung!

“An existence that wields great power as it pleases just because it possesses it!”

—Oh my god!

“The true enemy of Taoists like us!”

—Amazing-eok!

“An evil immortal!”
“Hahahahahahaha! How amusing! Sicheon Taoist! But aren’t you afraid to say such things!”
“I’m already a dead man! I knew I couldn’t live, so there’s no need to be servile to the enemy! I’m not the only Taoist in this world! Our Taoists will surely join forces to eliminate evil immortals like you!”

—Igle Igle.

Eyes burning with anger.

He’s a cruel human butcher, but this bastard was the overlord of a world. He certainly has the spirit for it.

“Evil immortals who defy order and morality are evil! Evil can never overcome the righteous path!”
“Evil will be defeated, and justice will prevail!”
“That’s why… Euh?”
“Why are you saying what I was going to say? You bastard.”
“Gasp!”

—Paaat!

The Sicheon Taoist took a stance again.

“Sicheon Taoist. You don’t seem to have any guilt about using humans as medicinal ingredients.”
“Is there anyone in the world who feels guilty about breathing and eating!”
“That’s right! That’s exactly it! Just as you have no guilt about using humans as medicinal ingredients, I have no guilt about tormenting you!”
“Heretical words!”

Using such difficult words!

“The lives of the lower beings and the lives of Taoists like me are by no means the same! The lives of weak humans are ultimately just insignificant things! Using those lives to awaken the principles of Taoism and exterminate you evil immortals is the righteous path of justice!”

—Paaat!

“Receive the Sicheon Taoist’s ultimate technique!”

Dang So-hwi roared like a dragon and charged at me. It was so laughable that I flicked his forehead with my front teeth.

—Ppaak!

“Gweohang!!!”

To the Taoists, human lives were nothing more than the lives of flies. Rather, they believed without a doubt that sacrificing those fly lives to increase their own power and suppress the rampaging evil immortals was their mission.

It was like watching Americans climb onto the bed in the master bedroom with their shoes on.

“Culture culture.”

Shock shock.
