Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation

Above me.

Jeok Heol-myung felt it. His own hand was caught in the grip of this man.

Even when he tried to pull his hand away, it was not budging one bit. Even though he tried to shake it off with his strength, there was not a slight bit of movement.

Did he learn from physical energy skills?

At the same time, these people were given poison.

So it was not long since this guy got his internal energy, but he felt so stable. He was an opponent that was impossible to subdue with simple internal energy.

Seol-Hwi spoke to Jeok Heol-myung who was extremely confused.

“Do we trade now?”

“…What do you mean?

“You probably have an idea where the shortcut to the destination is. If you will tell me that, I will keep my mouth shut that your members of your troops have mixed into the trainees.”

“…”

“How is that?”

Jeok Heol-myung felt concerned at the words of Seol-Hwi, and shook his head with a smile.

“The classes of our training sessions are done in a very fair manner. You will have to speak knowing that such a system exists in…”

“Then why report back to your leaders? A ‘fair manner’ you say.”

“…!”

The guy’s face went stiff.

This guy. He knew it too well. There was a very likely chance of him seeing the letter being sent.

This jerk…

He pondered for a moment on how to deal with the man in front of him. And soon gave the answer—

Swish

With the other hand which was not caught, he used a skill. And in front of the opponent’s eyes, a fireball began to form.

But—

Swoosh

“…?!”

The flame did not spread around as expected. To be more precise, it was stopped by Seol-Hwi’s hand.

Clench

“Ack.”

And when Seol-Hwi twisted the other hand he was holding, the guy began to reach for the ground by screaming in pain.

Tuk. Tuk.

Next came sealing the blood points. And after sealing a couple, he fell to the ground.

“Okay then. How about we do this?”

Seol-Hwi continued to speak again,

“You report my presence to your leaders, and I find the shortcut from you.”

“…”

“Nice right? You get to speak of my identity and I get to know the path.”

Hearing these words, the guy who was screaming in pain looked shocked.

“The deal you say…”

“Do not misunderstand this. I am not offering you a deal anymore.”

Clench.

Seol-Hwi grabbed the guy by his hair and pulled him up. Making eye contact in such a manner, he softly said,

“This is a threat.”

“Hack. Ack…”

The rushed breathing could be heard, the dry sound of sheer will. Normal warriors would never make such sounds.

This was something one noticed when one was unable to use their internal energy and had used up all of their stamina.

Ahead? Or behind?

The man roughly guessed who was pursuing him and stopped.

Tak

Then, with his back against a large tree, he shouted,

“Come!”

Step. Step.

Then came the brief moment which felt extremely long, accompanied with anxiousness. The man who was listening carefully to everything caught even the slightest movement and turned.

By the time he was ready to run again—

Sak

The silver string shining in the light approached him and wrapped itself around his neck.

“Kuak!”

The man’s body floated above the branches, and after a couple moments of struggling because of the string, his body went limp.

Droop

He fell limp like a piece of paper which had been soaked in water.

“I handled one.”

Step

After he fell, someone appeared through the branches. It was Yo Su-gwang.

Normally the silver string wrapped around the neck would go from the neck to the bottom of the ear to kill them, but he did not execute it in that manner.

Because if one killed, their points would be reduced.

Swish! Tak!

He ran swiftly to subdue those who were way ahead and then began to step on the branch again as he looked around.

“Are there any left around?”

Two men came down the mountain and were gradually coming here.

Tak

He stepped on the branch and then hid himself as he lowered the body.

Uh?

But he felt something was off. Behind the running man, he saw a person like a guard.

“Damn it!”

“We need to run more!”

The faces of the two men who were running were pale.

When they seemed to notice someone was behind them, initially they wanted a fight.

However, when they saw three or more of their people dying without even being able to land a single attack, they chose to run.

But would such movements allow them to avoid their fate?

Huk

They tried to run from their pursuer by pushing their bodies with all their might. They wanted to get closer to the end, just a couple more minutes.

“Eik. Attack back…!”

The cornered man turned. And they swung at the short man who pursued them.

Chak!

However, their attacks held no power. The short man passed by them and cut their arms off.

The opponent’s attack could not even be seen with the eyes, all that could be seen was just pure suffering.

“Eik!”

The guy ahead who was running was not safe either.

Just what kind of technique was it? As soon as one person was dealt with, the pursuer was getting faster, and now he moved for this man.

“Kuak!”

In the end, the two men were beaten by a single man without even successfully landing a single attack in retaliation.

Same race.

Yo Su-gwang felt it.

The short body, the face which could not be seen because of the bangs, and yet, he felt it—

The hunter who thirsts after blood.

The moment you think it was a person who had to kill. they end up as kin.

But the smell from the body felt different.

Yo Su-gwang was one who set a goal and chose a means or methods for it, but this guy seemed a bit more wild.

He just wanted to smell that blood. And such a person was hard to control. If one wanted to use such a person, they would have to place them in a cage.

It was the nature of going after blood which made it hard for the enemies.

I guess that is why he is using such techniques.

Swish

On the other hand, Ghost Incarnate was feeling it too, the being looking at him from the tree. And he could feel the scent of blood from there

A person who has a high level of training from a specific place.

Him and his kind. But, it felt more friendly than him.

After thinking about whether to fight him—

Tak

Ghost Incarnate moved first. He thought that there was no need to go against people of his own kind.

Hmm.

Yo Su-gwang had the same idea. This was still an early stage, and the goal of the training was to arrive at the destination as swiftly as possible.

The number of subdued without killing itself is huge, so they will be in the high ranks.

There was no need to have any more regrets.

Papat

He soon climbed down the tree and ran towards the destination.

“….”

Turning around, he turned to the forest. He dealt with ten men by the time he reached here.

He killed a couple, but most of them had their arms and legs cut off.

They should all be killed.

Ghost Incarnate took a different route. And after confirming that Ju Seorin was not around, he decided to move.

By killing “all” the men around.

There is no need to hunt right now…

However, the order had to be fixed now.

The ones who should be killed right now and those who should be killed later—

And even the tricky guys who would kill when they had a chance in the future. He was organizing all of this into the head when he saw another Blood Strong Troops member.

Is he the last?

Based on the rough understanding of the situation, it seemed like there were no more late comers, and this had to be the last one.

Although he was walking swiftly, he still seemed weak.

Let’s end him at once.

Ghost Incarnate quickly climbed the tree Yo Su-gwang was on a while back, and after covering his body, he held his breath and waited.

Just a little more.

The erratic speed the guy was coming in, the closer the guy got, the slower he got—

It was good for Ghost Incarnate. He held his breath and imagined where the guy would stop.

He was just like a beast waiting for the prey to step into the trap. As soon as the man stepped into that area, the guy controlled not just his breathing but his heartbeat too.

And to move to the position he wants.

Now.

Using this footwork he moved to the perfect spot he should be at, and at the same time he slashed the dagger in his hand at the head of the opponent.

Breathing, the speed, the position of attack, everything was perfect.

However—

“…!”

His dagger which was supposed to cut the head of the opponent did not move. To be precise, it was caught in the hand of the opponent.

The reaction of the opponent was so swift that he could not understand what happened.

In addition, due to the power of the opponent, he flew back.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Ghost Incarnate bounced back onto the ground but tried to get up. The man looked at him.

“It was you?”

“…”

“Ghost Incarnate?”

The guy stood there calmly.

“You… you…”

Ghost Incarnate felt nervous for some reason. The man he was seeing, he did not smell like blood.

Usually, there were two cases.

Normal ones who did not shed blood, and the other ones were those above the limit who knew to hold back their instincts after stepping onto a certain level.

Tremble

Ghost Incarnate shuddered. The composure the opponent held was creating fear for him.

This calmness made him feel like a monster which had been manipulating him up until this point. It was something that could be seen in the instructors who taught them.

“Kik.”

“…!”

So, rather than answering, Ghost Incarnate chose to attack. Because he was scared.

It seemed like he was trying to kill his opponent to escape the fear and pain.

He?

Seol-Hwi felt a bit flustered at the opponent’s reaction.

He wanted to handle this lightly ,but he did not think the guy would come for him.

…!

It was not easy to find time to strike him back. Usually, be it footwork or something else, it started from the ground, but this guy did not care about it.

He was moving swiftly despite his feet not touching the ground in the right position. And it was disturbing to see it.

Sssshhh.

The dagger of the guy barely passed by the neck of Seol-Hwi.

“Huk…!”

“…!”

Not just Seol-Hwi but even Ghost Incarnate was shocked.

Dark Soul Spirit Sword—

A quick sword technique which never failed him. And in such an approach, it was the best to take the opponent down.

This was the first time it was stopped.

“What are you…”

Seol-Hwi too went stiff.

If it was careless for even a second, he would have died right then and there. If he did not step into the Supreme Demon state, he really would have lost a life here.

“Fine. I will deal with you according to your skills.”

Clench

Seol-Hwi gathered his strength and began to use his dantian. As soon as the flow of internal energy happened, he could feel the air moving around.

“Uh uh?”

Ghost Incarnate was confused at this.

But Seol-Hwi just grinned.

“You need to get hit.”

With that, Seol-Hwi’s fist hit the guy.

Puak!

“Kuak! Ack!”

Seol-Hwi’s attack was swift.

No, it was not at a level to simply call it quick. It exceeded the movement Ghost Incarnate could notice.

Puak!

He had been through numerous fights. Even as he was beaten, Ghost Incarnate tried to figure out the move. It was because there were a lot of things he could do in such close range.

“By this point… uh?”

Seol-Hwi, who punched him, stepped back as the complexion of the Ghost Incarnate turned bright yellow and he fell to the ground.

“What now?”

Seol-Hwi confusedly put his hand on his neck.

“…?”

The pulse did not move.

He was really dead.

“What kind of death is…!”

It was then.

The hand of the man he thought was dead moved for his stomach—

With a dagger being held.

“…”

“…”

But nothing happened.

Slash

The dagger of Ghost Incarnate was split. And it did not hit anything.

“Blood Demon Hand, ever heard of it?”

“…”

“If you get touched by it, the poison cannot be overcome and things turn to powder.”

“Ha!”

“You, end here.”

Chak

When Seol-Hwi hit him on the head, Ghost Incarnate passed out. Seol-Hwi, who looked at the guy’s condition, got up. And he looked around.

“He said there was a shortcut from here?”

Tak

He threw himself in the direction the guy told him earlier.
