Chapter 594 – King Yan’s Disciple 6 (15)

As I slowly fell from the sky, I looked at the bird I had been attacked.

I thought I had seen that bird falling to the ground with a hole in its chest somewhere before.

‘I think this is what the incompletely revived Suzaku looked like?’

It was quite similar in appearance to the incomplete Suzaku that he had managed to defeat by reducing his stamina for several hours using the volcanic terrain.

However, if you’re a master craftsman who deals with fire, you’d think he could withstand my flames at least once, but he fell helplessly like this.

Presence detection – zero.

A shadow capable of detecting the opponent’s energy was concentrated on Suzaku.

And with the information my shadow gave me, I was able to immediately understand why I was hit.

‘It’s at the level of filling Suzaku’s shell with mana.’

If you think about it, when you met Kaena a few months ago, you had already acquired the energy of the three Death Beasts.

It was as if he had recovered that energy, filled the remaining Suzaku shell with his own mana, and blown it away.

Unlike the Spear Dragon Emperor, who invested three tails, which can be said to be quite a lot of energy, it seems like he invested enough mana to be active for a short time?

Wow!

Right after I landed, Suzaku’s body fell and made a little loud sound.

After confirming that Suzaku’s movements had completely stopped, he was able to see the faces of the martial people around him.

There must have been an attack by Suzaku once before I arrived, and the warriors with part of their robes burned approached me and attacked me.

“See you at Baekyeom (白炎) Daehyup.”

When the man standing in front his lowered his head, everyone said the same thing.

As I felt something filling me up, I also took up arms and lowered my head.

“There are many shortcomings in calling it a great cooperative. It is Hansian.”

***

“He really is a priest who makes no sense, including King Yeom.”

The Kunlun faction, which had the most comrades sacrificed in the battle against the Demonic Cult, and Jang Mun-in, who survived the battle and formed the faction again, spoke after seeing the white flames splitting the sky.

The demons who attempted to conquer the central plains by carrying out indiscriminate massacres were stronger than most of the martial arts people.

It was difficult to fight unless you were at the level of a first-generation disciple, and many second- and third-generation disciples died.

Jang Mun-in, the current Kunlun sect who led the three generations of disciples, thought it was his fault for the death of his younger brothers and practiced his martial arts skills while shedding bloody tears.

As a result, I was able to participate in the decisive battle against the Demon Cult and watched the birth of the Seven Kings of Murim right from the side.

A gruesome battle between the seven warriors with the nickname of the king, who many people now think is just a facade, and who now has even more dead people.

The resistance of the demons who sacrificed their lives to destroy their enemies for the Heavenly Demon, a monster that could reach the sky, grew stronger as they approached the Heavenly Demon.

The seven people who defeated such a demon and advanced to the Heavenly Demon.

Among them, the red flame of King Yan, who was at the forefront, still glimmered in the eyes of Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun Sect.

“Jang Mun-in, Baek Yeom came to see Jang Mun-in.”

It was a disciple of the Kunlun faction who had been selected to be the next Jang Mun-in who brought up Jang Mun-in, who was momentarily reminiscing about the past when he saw the white flames splitting the sky.

“Okay. I’ll take a look.”

Baek Yeom, walking through the crowd, looked different from the King Yeom in Jang Mun-in’s memories of the Kunlun Sect.

King Yeom, who had thicker lines and looked like a bandit to put it bluntly, and Baek Yeom, who looked pretty, were difficult to think of as priests based on their appearance.

However, a smile appeared on Kunlun Sect’s Jang Mun-in’s face as the thought filled his mind that the heat contained within that body did not change even if the color was different.

“This is Baekyeom Han Xian.”

Baekyeom, standing in front of him, bowed his head first.

“I am Jeong Hwan, carrying out the position of a senior member of the Kunlun Sect. I am grateful for your salvation.”

***

After talking a little with Jang Mun-in, it seems that the Kunlun faction was pushed into a pretty close situation.

We can deal with enough monsters, but can we say we are close to our limit due to lack of food?

That statement wasn’t pretentious. I checked the level of the martial arts people on the way, and the level of the martial arts people of the Kunlun faction was very high.

Since he suffered great damage from the previous attack on the Demonic Cult, he seemed to have developed his strength so as not to be trampled by the powerful again.

If you are strong, you may be able to win the fight, but in war, there are many variables.

“Aren’t you planning to go to Xinjiang?”

“Yes, Jang Mun-in. The queen of monsters is waiting in Xinjiang.”

“After the king of devils, she is the queen of monsters…”

Jang Mun-in shed a sigh of relief, thinking that he did not know whether Xinjiang was a good place or a bad place.

“Does Yeomwang senior know that fact?”

“You know that. But after the last incident, you decided to get out of Moorim’s business, so I came.”

“Is that so…? It’s worth it.”

The story of Master Yanwang defeating the four kings who were intoxicated with the power of a monster had already become widely known, so Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun Sect was very disappointed.

“But I sent you because I was confident that you could do it. And we were saved thanks to the White Flame Road you drew.”

“I’m glad it helped. I felt guilty that I was a little late in coming here because I wanted to save many people.”

“It’s not a bad thing to prioritize people who don’t have the power to protect themselves over the martial arts people. What did we hone our martial arts for? Because we need the power to achieve our own goals.”

“Thanks to Jang Moon-in’s words, I feel like the burden on my heart has been relieved a little.”

Now that we’ve talked about what happened so far and the current situation, it’s time to talk about the future.

Defeat Kaena.

I’m making that my ultimate goal, but right now my strength has dropped by about 30%.

You can recover your divinity right now, but I plan to save it for the final battle, so it would be better to get help from the martial arts people gathered in the Kunlun Sect on the way to Kaena.

“Can I ask you for directions to the queen of monsters?”

“We were also waiting for the day to strike back. Since we didn’t know the true cause and effect, we had no choice but to hold on, but if we can end it, I will give you our strength.”

Since we faced each other in an open space, everyone around me could hear the story of me and Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun faction.

Jang Mun-in and I slowly looked around at the martial arts people around us, and everyone had faces full of passion.

“You won’t be able to reach her on your own. She needs your help.”

“I will lend a helping hand!”

“We will open the way to Baekyeom Daehyup!”

As the number of people willing to help me increased, all the martial arts people gathered in the Kunlun Sect began to participate.

In this way, I felt like I could face Kaena while conserving my strength as much as possible.

In order for everyone in the Kunlun faction to rest comfortably, he imbued the sword of the martial artist who was sacrificed in this battle with divinity and inserted the sword into the center of the faction.

As the divinity subtly spreads, a barrier that monsters are reluctant to approach was completed.

As I watched the warriors, exhausted from the battle, lying on the ground and falling asleep, I closed my eyes for a moment to get in the best condition.

“Even if you use the Shinshin Technique as much as possible to get to the Demonic Cult where the queen of monsters is, it will take twenty days. And since battles with monsters will continue to occur even while moving, Jang Mun-in believes that if you have not reached the level of transcendence or higher, you will inevitably fall behind on the way. So, even if I can’t participate in the punitive force, I would be grateful if they would protect our clan and the place we will return to.”

The next day, Jeonghwan Jang Mun-in of the Kunlun faction decided to divide the number of people.

If you follow my pace, you can cover it in three days instead of twenty, but you shouldn’t use me as the standard.

Including the return, you will need 40 days’ worth of food, and if it is later than that, you will have to starve for a few days.

If a huge amount of food and all the martial people who would protect the Kunlun faction suddenly leave, it will be difficult when they return.

“I can’t help it if it becomes a burden…”

As it was estimated that it would be a difficult journey, the martial arts people at the peak level gave up without hesitation.

After dealing with youkai for a few days, you know how crazy it is to walk into the enemy’s base with your own skills.

In order to save your life, you must know where to stay and where to escape.

The number of people heading to the Demonic Church was decided to be 20 people, including Jeong Hwan and Jang Moon-in and me.

About half of the people were members of the Kunlun faction, and most of them were nameless ronin.

I don’t think it’s too bad since the large sects and martial arts factions known as the Nine-File-Il-Bang provided material support rather than people.

When sending supplies, the person you send as an escort does not fall from the sky.

Carrying luggage full of food, we came down from Kunlun Mountain and started running toward Xinjiang.

*

Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

The blue blade began to dance to cut down the monster.

Pow! Kwaang!

People who used the recommended method did not feel sluggish at all even though they were carrying heavy loads.

When the fully mature warriors were cutting down and destroying monsters that could be classified as low to medium level, I ran towards their heads.

Breaking through the spiral flow.

Kwaaaaa!!!

With just the right amount of power to defeat an ogre in one blow, he threw out a weapon wrapped in a faint white spiral.

He withdrew his gaze from the sight of the ogre’s collapsing body, with about half of its upper body missing, and moved to help the punitive force, which was exhausted from repeated battles.

‘As expected, it’s difficult to move forward like this.’

It’s already been 10 days since we left Kunlun Mountain.

We have reached the threshold of Xinjiang, but Maqiao is still far away.
