Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation

Unified Elimination Martial Arts.

It was a skill given to all the members of the Hidden Truth Corps, so it could be considered as one of their most basic skills.

It has the defensive characteristics of predicting and responding to the opponent’s weapon and movements.

However, unusually, the origin of this wasn’t in the Demonic Sect.

In the words of the trainee who taught Seol-Hwi in the past, it was said that this belonged to an ancient sect on the orthodox side, which was taken into the Demonic Sect.

Quanzhen Sect.

Although they certainly held the taoist traditions, they were rumored to have a quick temper.

It was said that if they saw a bad person or something which didn’t look good when walking around, they would cut the heads of those in the wrong, pull out their hearts, and eat them after throwing salt on them.

So the technique Seol-Hwi was using was made by a sect which had such an unrestrained spirit running in them.

Maybe that was why although it was a martial arts technique, the people were rough and fearsome, and that mixed well with the martial arts of the Demonic Sect.

However, the origins were different, and Unified Elimination Demonic Martial Arts was the result of the influence later on, but its origins and current existence were clearly known.

Thanks to these, the complex reasons and coincidences allowed Seol-Hwi to gain enlightenment.

The power of prediction–

Like predicting the path of fallen leaves which fluttered in the wind.

This habit which he never thought of when training was actually one of the training methods for the technique.

Somehow, Seol-Hwi was able to grow because he continued to learn it, and now he was a step closer.

And as a result, ‘Incredible Airflow’ could be seen with the eyes.

<Incredible Airflow is being used.>

As soon as he blinked three times, Seol-Hwi’s body felt strange. From the top of his head to the dantian felt like they had been opened wide.

The energy flowed along the meridians and whirled around, touching the upper end of the dantian.

Grrng!

At that moment, along with a single streak of lightning, the faintly visible airflow grew into thousands of strands.

What was wrapped around the body was clearly visible.

This?!

However, there was no time to appreciate this with Ma Taryong closing in.

The sight of dozens of swords could be seen with his eyes.

Damn it.

Seol-Hwi felt his face harden at this.

At that moment when one has risen to the next level, it is the manifestation of internal energy which takes a lot of effort.

It was too late to dodge this now.

If it was close, he would have tried, but the range of the target was too wide.

I have run out of luck.

Seol-Hwi didn’t doubt his death here as he couldn’t move ahead or speak.

What can he do?

The moment he thought of doing something with his sword, not wanting to die–

Kwakwakwang!

The ground in the area where Seol-Hwi was had collapsed.

The sword qi was more powerful than it, and penetrated deep into the ground.

At the same time, a wave of dust rose into the sky.

Rumble!

…!

Ma Taryong doubted his eyes.

Seol-Hwi was still in front of him.

To be precise, the swords he used to attack were also there.

But–

Wheeing!

Visible airflow could be seen around Seol-Hwi’s body which was bizarre.

Ddddd!

At the same time as blocking the sword, he created a change which bound them together.

Swhish!

In the end, he even managed to turn the swords pointing at him back at the opponent.

“…Hauk!”

At that sight, Ma Taryong gulped.

This was the unexpected sight of his own attack coming back for him.

“Ugh!”

Ma Taryong twisted his body to avoid them.

Swish!

Dozens of swords of energy flew in the sky, and now it wasn’t Seol-Hwi at the crossroads of death and life.

“W-what?”

“What was that?”

Imugi and Yong Jin blinked their eyes.

Seol-Hwi and Ma Taryong. The clash between the two was being watched very closely.

The internal energy they raised was truly huge, and it was the moment they lost sight of things.

Later, Ma Taryong appeared from the position they expected to attack.

When Imugi and Yong Jin noticed the movement and dozens of energy swords, they felt lost.

“T-that…”

“Captain will die!”

It was a situation where they couldn’t say anything more and continued to watch.

But it was right then–

Wheeik!

The swords couldn’t even get close to Seol-Hwi. And the strong movement around him soon stopped.

Swish!

He flew towards Ma Taryong and attacked.

“D-did he turn back the attack?”

“How did he do that?”

The two were still in shock, unable to be silent. Of course, the others were no different.

This wasn’t just any normal thing but energy swords made of the owner’s energy.

It was controlling things which were several times stronger than a normal sword.

But that was destroyed?

It was swept away by the air around without being canceled but it instead was controlled.

“No… is that?”

Yorim mumbled at the absurd thing he was seeing.

He had never seen such things, only having heard of them in passing.

The supreme power of reversing the attacks of the opponent.

“No, I don’t think it is that…”

“I think so too.”

Jeok Song shook his head and Seo Ryeong agreed.

The Great Movement of Heaven and Earth is a vision only the best are given.

It was a vision passed to those who were considered to be the elders and the Sect Leader.

So Seol-Hwi cannot have that.

Most of all they never heard someone of the Peak Demon level ever do this against someone significantly better than them.

It was said that such things can be executed only when they are the best.

“No. it looks very similar.”

“…!”

“…!”

“…!”

In an instant, Yorim, Seo Ryeong, and Jeok Song got up.

At some point in time, a little boy scratched his head.

“So-Songhwa?”

“You were here?”

“Ah. Yes, I am sorry, I was able to sneak in, but I couldn’t speak…”

At Yorim’s words, Songhwa smiled awkwardly.

Everyone was too concentrated on the fight that he chose to not speak. It was difficult to even breathe.

“Are you saying that it is similar?”

When Jeok Song asked, Songhwa nodded.

“Yes, Captain is simply turning the energy swords back to Ma Taryong, with its power around. This means that the airflow is moving as he wants… as far as I know, that is called the Great Movement between Heaven and Earth.”

“Then our captain is as strong as the Sect…”

“No, he isn’t. Rather, our captain has reached the Supreme Demon level? When?”

“Uh… it cannot be. That is a bit extreme.”

Everyone was puzzled.

However, what was certain is that Seol-Hwi’s martial arts were something one cannot easily obtain.

Also, they knew that Seol-Hwi reacted slowly, so if Seol-Hwi had quick movements, then Ma Taryong would have died in but an instant.

Shhh-

At that moment, a beam of light flowed from Seol-Hwi’s body.

Seeing that Songhwa gasped.

“That is…?”

Seo Ryeong softly said,

“Right. A change which happens when you rise to the peak.”

“Huk. Huk.”

Ma Taryong was gasping for air as he looked at his body.

He was in a hurry to avoid it. Without being able to see properly due to the dust, he had to jump and roll around.

“Thank god. Phew.”

Feeling his entire body still in one piece, he sighed in relief.

It really felt like he was on the verge of death. And when he first got up, he wanted to see Seol-Hwi.

He realized that he could have killed Seol-Hwi with what he did.

But what was this? There felt like there was a strange harmony in the body of the captain and the counterattack as well.

The attack he was hit back with was shocking enough for him to potentially die from it.

Startled, Ma Taryong said,

“C-captain?”

Seol-Hwi was sitting cross legged.

And a faint ray of light flickered above his head. Ma Taryong immediately recognized what was happening.

He’s on the brink of Peak Demon.

The internal energy in the body has reached his limit, and so the lines for the flow of energy are now rushing to his head.

Of course, the awakening was supposed to be a little different from what he was seeing. Instead of the bright flow, he was supposed to feel a dark ferocious energy flowing about.

Uh?

Ma Taryong’s eyes narrowed, wondering what Seol-Hwi would look like.

Ssss!

The glow only got stronger by the second, but strangely, he couldn’t feel demonic energy.

In the original sense, the demonic energy would run wild and exude a violent force. After, the internal energy would be amplified.

There was not a single sign of that here.

Shhh

The group of lights which shone stayed silent, and moved to Seol-Hwi’s head.

Flash

Seol-Hwi, who had been sitting cross legged, opened his eyes and stood up.

“So him saying that he didn’t climb to the Peak Demon level… actually turned out to be true.”

Ma Taryong shook his head in disbelief.

“Did you think I was lying?”

Seol-Hwi smiled.

He felt like he had been reborn.

His entire body felt incredibly light, and he could see things around him so clearly.

This is the advancement to the next level, and it was different from before.

“But… Captain. Strangely your demonic energy is… lighter?”

“Is that so?”

Seol-Hwi nodded his head at that.

Unlike before, the violent flow of energy in his body was stable now.

“Perhaps it was because I was judged unsuitable to handle it?”

“Uh? No… Do you mean you broke through the wall of Genuine Martial Arts?”

“It seems so.”

“Then the Unified Elimination Demonic Martial Arts…?”

“Probably.”

“Ah…”

Ma Taryong looked puzzled.

Even though this man was evaluated to be unsuitable for the demonic energy, he reached Peak Demon.

This caused his face to go dark.

“What is it?”

“That…”

Ma Taryong fell silent. It was time for him to open his mouth.

“Captain.”

“Captain!”

The rest of his crew began to appear.

“Right. You all are here?”

Seol-Hwi and Ma Taryong knew that they were watching.

“What kind of martial arts did you use in the end?”

Imugi asked.

“That, teach me too.”

“Me too!”

Seol-Hwi shook his head as he looked at them and turned to Ma Taryong.

“We can talk about it at a later time.”

Ma Taryong bowed and left right away.

It looked like he had something important to say, but he didn’t want to speak in front of all of them.

What was he trying to say?

Seol-Hwi was concerned about it.

It was because he looked like he didn’t like the changes in Seol-Hwi’s body.
