CLS-Chapter 669

Chapter 669:

Speed Demon’s speed could not be caught by the eye. It was doubtful whether he could properly see anything while moving at such incredible speed.

However, even Speed Demon’s speed did not work against Wei Yan-ho.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

Speed Demon was not just fast on his feet.

The fact that he had blocked Wei Yan-ho’s sword was proof of that. Speed Demon had blocked Wei Yan-ho’s strike that even Disturbance Demon and Gwang-ma could not withstand.

Of course, blocking it did not mean he had completely neutralized the force contained within.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Speed Demon’s body was sent flying. Like a stone skipping across a calm lake, his body bounced off the ground several times.

“This bastaaaaaard!”

Disturbance Demon-DisturbanceDemon was not compatible with Wei Yan-ho.

Although the Disturbance Demon was skilled in all kinds of evil arts and tricks and was considered an object of fear even within the Demon Sect, none of his evil arts worked on Wei Yan-ho.

Whenever the spells made of demonic energy and malevolent qi were cast at Wei Yan-ho, something blindingly brilliant would burst from within him and literally erase the spells.

It was as if he had swallowed a sacred artifact with the efficacy of Breaking Death within his body.

Of course, it was Baek Mu-han’s inner core that produced this effect, but Disturbance Demon could not know that fact.

“This monster-like bastard.”

Nevertheless, Disturbance Demon proved why he was a Bishop of the Demon Sect.

He did not retreat even against an opponent he had no chance of defeating.

Disturbance Demon was showing with his entire body what kind of responsibility came with the position of Bishop.

His entire body began to swell.

Body Strengthening Art.

A secret technique among secret techniques that summoned spirits to strengthen one’s physical body.

However, there was no way that a crude technique could handle Wei Yan-ho, whom even Gwang-ma, who was considered the strongest in the Demon Sect in terms of divine power, could not manage.

Paaaaat!

Wei Yan-ho’s white sword swept across, slashing Disturbance Demon’s chest in a long line.

But rather than retreating, Disturbance Demon leaped forward instead. The blood spurting from his chest came at Wei Yan-ho as if it were alive.

It was an unimaginably bizarre and mysterious technique.

But even that technique did not work on Wei Yan-ho.

Paaaaang!

Wei Yan-ho’s sword swept through the air, tearing through the atmosphere. A tremendous wind pressure was created, and the flying blood was pushed back.

“You bastaaaaaard!”

Disturbance Demon charged at Wei Yan-ho with a roar, but Wei Yan-ho lightly swung his sword and severed Disturbance Demon’s neck.

Thunk.

Disturbance Demon’s head, with eyes wide open, fell to the ground. His eyes were filled with shock and resentment.

And those watching this scene also had shock in their eyes.

That made two.

The number of Bishops who had died at Wei Yan-ho’s hands in this place had already reached two.

“Uaaaaaaah!”

Disturbance Demon jumped up from his position and tried to charge at Wei Yan-ho.

“You stupid fool! Won’t you stop!”

At that moment, Blood Demon roared. Disturbance Demon’s body flinched.

“If we charge at him one by one, we’ll all die.”

“This…”

Disturbance Demon stopped in his tracks. Regardless of his boiling anger, no one could deny that Blood Demon’s words were correct right now.

Disturbance Demon took cautious steps to stand beside Blood Demon. Then the bounced-away Speed Demon also flew over like a ghost to fill Blood Demon’s other side.

“Ptui!“

Speed Demon spat the blood he had been holding in his mouth onto the ground. Then he raised his head to look at Wei Yan-ho.

‘Damn it.‘

Speed Demon’s eyes burned with hatred.

The shock from Wei Yan-ho’s single sword strike remained entirely in his body. His upper body was still tingling and numb, and his hands were trembling.

“…How the hell did that young bastard acquire such internal energy?”

It was utterly incomprehensible.

Wei Yan-ho could be strong.

By now, it had become foolish to deny Wei Yan-ho’s strength for various reasons. Sometimes incomprehensible geniuses appear in this world, and they had no choice but to understand that Wei Yan-ho was one of them.

However, that internal power was something they could not understand no matter how much they thought about it.

Wasn’t internal energy something that ultimately required time to accumulate?

No matter how much of an ancient genius Wei Yan-ho might be, he could not accumulate internal energy faster than others.

But right now, Wei Yan-ho’s internal energy surpassed that of the Bishops who had been training for decades.

“…Don’t try to understand.”

Blood Demon’s conclusion was simple.

“Even if you try to understand, you won’t be able to. You have no choice but to think of him as someone who was originally like that.”

“…Damn it.”

Speed Demon gritted his teeth.

It felt like they were receiving back exactly the fear they had instilled in the Central Plains.

“Are you afraid?”

“Damn it, is that supposed to be a question?”

“Who’s afraid?”

“…”

Speed Demon closed his mouth.

Blood Demon’s words had struck his heart.

Who’s afraid?

Sweat began to seep from Speed Demon’s head.

He was afraid.

He was so very afraid.

“…If we fail to deal with that bastard like this, we will have to face Heavenly Demon’s wrath in full. Wouldn’t it be better to die fighting that bastard instead?”

“Heu.“

Disturbance Demon nodded his head.

“For once, you’re talking sense. It would be better to die fighting.”

Wei Yan-ho narrowed his eyes.

The Bishops’ momentum had completely changed. Until just moments ago, hesitation and uncertainty could be felt from them, but after exchanging just a few words, fierce hostility and fighting spirit had filled those places instead.

“Hmm.“

Wei Yan-ho extended his sword forward.

No matter how much Wei Yan-ho had grown stronger, the Bishops were always threatening existences.

‘It won’t be easy to deal with them.‘

In a moment of carelessness, his head could fly off.

Wei Yan-ho calmed his mind.

Blood Demon’s eyes blazed with blood-red light as he spread both hands. Red energy rose above his hands.

“The only way to avoid Heavenly Demon’s wrath is to kill that bastard.”

Disturbance Demon and Speed Demon gritted their teeth and raised both hands.

“May I ask one thing?”

However, Wei Yan-ho’s words cut through their momentum.

Blood Demon frowned.

“Are you planning to stall for time?”

“Me?”

“…”

Blood Demon closed his mouth.

There was no need for other words. Everyone would understand with just those words. The one who currently had the upper hand was Wei Yan-ho. Three Bishops were facing off against Wei Yan-ho, but they were not threatening Wei Yan-ho.

So why would Wei Yan-ho stall for time?

“What is it?”

“What exactly is that Heavenly Demon bastard?”

“…”

Blood Demon looked at Wei Yan-ho with strange eyes.

“What reason do you have for mentioning Heavenly Demon’s name?”

“I don’t understand.”

Wei Yan-ho shook his head.

“I’d like to believe it’s all bluff if possible, but since I’ve seen and felt certain things, I can’t deny that the Heavenly Demon exists… But to acknowledge that the Heavenly Demon exists, he doesn’t reveal himself at all.”

Wei Yan-ho stared intently at Blood Demon.

“Does that Heavenly Demon bastard really exist?”

“Keuk keuk keuk keuk.“

Blood Demon let out a low sneer.

“You really know nothing at all.”

“How could I know? No one has told me.”

“Wei Yan-ho.”

Blood Demon spoke quietly.

“You will die.”

“…”

“Dying by our hands now would actually be a better thing for you. If Heavenly Demon comes out directly, you will die. And you’ll die in the most horrible state in the world.”

“Well now.”

Wei Yan-ho scratched his head roughly.

“I really can’t understand at all. If he’s such a great person, why doesn’t he come to the forefront? It’s not like he’s playing the role of a mastermind in the shadows, is it?”

“Until now, Heavenly Demon could not come forward.”

“…Until now?”

Wei Yan-ho’s eyes narrowed.

In other words, didn’t that mean he could come forward now?

“Then couldn’t he have come forward from the beginning? Why is such a great person just watching while pushing you all to the front?”

“You don’t know. You really don’t know anything at all.”

Irritation appeared on Wei Yan-ho’s face.

Why was he speaking as if Wei Yan-ho should naturally know this?

But the words that followed blocked even Wei Yan-ho’s complaints.

“Even we have no meaning whatsoever to Heavenly Demon. We are nothing more than hunting dogs to Heavenly Demon.”

“…Hunting dogs?”

“Even calling us hunting dogs is generous. Heavenly Demon does not even allow the affection a hunter shows to hunting dogs. We simply consider it an honor to follow Heavenly Demon’s words and sacrifice our lives.”

That was not a lie.

He could tell instinctively. An undeniable solemnity had risen on Blood Demon’s face as he spoke.

It gave him chills.

No matter how much Wei Yan-ho was currently overwhelming them, they were Bishops of the Demon Sect. What kind of position the Bishops of the Demon Sect held in the martial world was now too obvious to even mention.

Yet such people were comparing themselves to hunting dogs. No, they were saying that even hunting dogs were too generous a comparison.

It was not just Blood Demon’s opinion.

Speed Demon and Disturbance Demon also did not object to Blood Demon’s words. Rather, they were nodding their heads as if they agreed.

What kind of existence could make those Bishops tremble so much…

“Is the Heavenly Demon that strong?”

“You don’t know.”

“I’m getting tired of that phrase…”

“And we don’t know either.”

“…”

Wei Yan-ho closed his mouth.

“How strong Heavenly Demon is, how great Heavenly Demon is… we don’t know either. Ants cannot know how strong humans are. The limit of power that ants can feel is about the strength of a finger pressing down on them. We don’t have the mind or ability to understand Heavenly Demon’s power.”

Wei Yan-ho frowned.

Blood Demon was definitely paralyzed with fear.

‘How unsuitable.‘

The name Blood Demon, and the position of Bishop of the Demon Sect.

Considering his achievements of helping the Great Demon Emperor and painting the entire Central Plains with terror, that frightened old man’s face was completely incomprehensible.

Was it really possible for Bishops of the Demon Sect, who were said to not even fear death, to feel such terror toward a single person?

“Then why are you fighting?”

“…”

“If that guy just comes forward, everything would be solved.”

“Keuk keuk keuk keuk.“

Blood Demon let out a sneer.

“This is struggling.”

“Struggling?”

“Yes. Struggling to appease Heavenly Demon’s wrath. Otherwise, even we would be swept away by Heavenly Demon’s anger and turn to ash.”

“I really can’t understand anything you’re saying…”

“That’s enough now.”

Blood Demon raised his hand to stop Wei Yan-ho’s words.

“No matter how much we explain, you won’t understand. Those who have not directly experienced Heavenly Demon cannot even dare to guess what kind of person Heavenly Demon is. So rather die here by our hands. That would be a happy death.”

“I appreciate the concern, but…”

Wei Yan-ho scratched his head and straightened his shoulders.

“I have a bit of a contrary nature, so when others tell me to do something, I don’t want to do it. So I’ll decline.”

“You have no authority to refuse.”

Blood Demon gritted his teeth.

Then he shouted loudly.

“The Holy Fire is with you! Do not retreat! Show the power of the sect to these wicked Central Plains people!”

“Chung!“

With a tremendous roar, the Demon Sect followers began to surge forward with renewed vigor.

“Kill them allllll!”

And the three Bishops, led by Blood Demon, charged at Wei Yan-ho with all their might. Wei Yan-ho looked at this scene and gripped his sword more tightly.

‘They don’t understand.‘

Then he would just have to make them understand.

A brilliant radiance began to gather on Wei Yan-ho’s sword.

A brilliant radiance that seemed capable of illuminating everything in the world.
