Episode 335 The hilt of the sword does not remember blood (5)Flash!
Lee Cheon-sang, who was sleeping while sitting in Taesa Temple in Daejeon with no one around, opened his eyes.
He, who had been watching the front with deep eyes, stood up from his seat. Then I went down the stairs and entered the corridor on the left.
How long did it take to walk like that?
At some point, he stopped and pulled down a flower lantern hanging on the left wall.
Sweet! Drurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
As the firelight went down, the stone wall caved inward and then opened to the side.
It was one of the secret passages known only to the religious leader. Secret passages of this type were hidden not only in the Demon God Palace but also throughout Shingyo.
He climbed the dark stairs that appeared when the wall opened and walked for two hours. Even in a dark space without a single light, his steps were steady.
Sreuk.
Finally, Lee Cheon-sangâs steps stopped.
Kugugoogung!
The wall in front of where Lee Cheon-sang was standing opened with a loud sound. A dazzling light poured into the infinitely dark space.
âAre you here?â
ââ¦.â
âIâve tried this and that, but Iâm not sure if it will suit my taste.â
An old man was wiping his hands with a white cloth.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at the table next to the old man. There were all kinds of dishes laid out on a fairly large table.
Lee Cheon-sang asked.
âWhat about alcohol?â
âYes. âIt may be a yawn that canât even be compared to what the religious leader usually eats.â
âCome to me.â
âI understand.â
The old man brought two large bottles of alcohol.
Kugugoogung!
When the open stone door closed with a heavy sound, it became the outer wall of an ordinary house again.
Lee Cheon-sang looked out the window. Through the large window, I could see a small tavern that was completely falling apart.
âItâs still the same.â
âCleaning is done every day.â
âI donât think cleaning is important.â
âThereâs nothing you can do, right? It is difficult to open a new bar with the money given by the head of the penal court. âWell, people wonât come even if we build a new one.â
ââ¦.â
âWould you like a drink?â
Lee Cheon-sang looked away from the window and sat down. The old man stood next to him as if he had been waiting and filled his glass.
âIt smells good.â
âThis is the first alcohol I made after entering Shingyo. âI havenât tasted it yet either.â
Lee Cheon-sang took a refreshing drink.
âHow do you feel?â
ânot bad.â
The old man grinned. A look of pure joy appeared on his sallow face.
âYou donât know how much joy the leaderâs words brought me.â
âis it?â
âOf course. The greatest demon in the world, no, the greatest demon of all time is drinking the wine I brewed. âThat alone is an honor, so how can I not be happy that it tastes so good?â
âWas he the type of person who was good at talking loudly?â
âIâm serious.â
Lee Cheon-sang pointed to the seat next to him with his hand.
âSit down.â
The old man sat down carefully.
It was a sight that would surprise anyone who knew the old man.
This old man was never this polite. Even if it was in front of Lord Uicheon or Lord of Iron Blood Castle, this old man was the one who would do this or that. That kind of old man is having a hard time meeting Lee Cheon-sang.
Moreover, it was a situation that even people who knew Lee Cheon-sang could not help but be surprised. Lee Cheon-sang was also not the type of person to drink alcohol poured by others in such a simple space.
âWhy did you call me?â
The old man smiled.
âHow could this lowly old man dare to contact the religious leader?â
ââ¦.â
âI guess itâs time.â
âDo you want to go?â
âexactly.â
Even in Protestantism, only a very few people know about it.
The name of this old man, who was simply called Old Man Kang by those who knew him, was Woo-gyeong Kang (å§ç¾½ç¡¬).
He was one of the two leaders of the Colorless Temple and a legendary assassin who was inferior to his older brother, Kang Woo-chang, in all aspects, but was superior to him in terms of assassination ability.
âI received a call from the head of the family. To be exact, it may have been something that the Sogyoju ordered the late head of the clan to do.â
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
Kang Woo-kyung asked cautiously.
âAre you not feeling bad?â
ââ¦.â
âThe leader of the small church did quite a few things on his own even though there was no order from the leader.â
âSo if heâs satisfied, thatâs enough.â
It was a scary trust.
Kang Woo-kyung said bitterly.
âThe trust between priests can be so deep. âItâs truly surprising in this day and age where even brothers fight each other.â
Maybe it was because Lee Cheon-sang was strong.
The strongest demon in the world who is not oppressed by anything. Since nothing can bind him, he can show this kind of faith.
âAre you thinking about your brother?â
âexactly.â
âDo you still blame him?â
Kang Woo-kyung burst into laughter. It was a laugh that oozed desperation but shook off most of the resentment.
âThey say time is a cure. Iâve put it all down now. âMaybe if I see him again, Iâll smile and offer him a drink.â
âIt could have been so if the Shameless Master had not resumed his activities.â
âexactly. So Iâm curious.â
Kang Woo-kyungâs face showed a serious look.
âExcept for the sect leader and Daehobeop, no one in the new church knows my identity. Not only the general military but also the late head of the family does not know about my past. âThe late leader only knows me as an informant who was active in the martial arts faction.â
âI guess so.â
âBut I wonder how Lord Xiao knew and summoned me. âDid the religious leader give you a word?â
âno.â
âWhat if I do it?â
Lee Cheon-sang emptied his glass and said. The food had not even been touched yet.
âLiang has a particularly good sense of humor. Even if you are of the same extreme level, it will be difficult to catch up with his sixth sense. âWhether it is innate, through experience, or through magic, the eye that penetrates the essence of events and situations can truly be called divine eye.â
Kang Woo-kyung was a little surprised. This was because I had never seen Lee Cheon-sang speak at such length when talking about someone.
âBut no matter how great your intuition is, it is difficult to perform at its best without the minimum amount of information. âIt seems like we have come across a lot of information regarding Hao Wen.â
âRight.â
âMaybe itâs information I received from Shaolin.â
Kang Woo-kyungâs eyes sparkled.
It was the moment when he transformed from a stooped, lanky old man to the leader of the Unrivaled Temple who enjoyed unrivaled strength in the shadows of Gangho.
âShaolin⦠Do you know Shaolin well?â
âYou canât not know. What Shaolin knows, we know, and what we know, Shaolin knows. âOur school and Shaolin have such a strange relationship.â
âItâs not like weâre exchanging information.â
âI said it was a strange relationship, but I didnât say we were close. Rather, our schoolâs greatest enemy is not Uicheon Maeng and Sanghyeolseong, but Shaolin.â
Lee Cheon-sang held out his glass. Kang Woo-kyung politely poured the drink.
âProbably, if it werenât for your brother, that snake-like Lord of Uicheon wouldnât have been able to paralyze Shaolin and Shaman.â
âI guess so.â
âYou get a drink too.â
Lee Cheon-sang personally filled Kang Woo-kyungâs cup. Kang Woo-kyung bowed as if honored.
âLetâs have a drink.â
The two people clinked their glasses.
Kang Woo-kyung, who emptied his glass, made an impression.
âIt doesnât taste good.â
âis it.â
Lee Cheon-sang put down the glass and raised his hand.
Wooooow.
A haze seemed to rise around the large hand. The objects around the hand looked very distorted.
âIt wouldnât be good to drag it out for too long. âI will return your martial arts skills.â
âBefore that, may I ask one more question?â
âI know.â
An inexplicable confusion appeared on Kang Woo-kyungâs face.
âWhy did the religious leader save me?â
âWere you curious about that?â
âexactly. Furthermore, it was incomprehensible to me that they were allowed to live here in the inner city.â
It has already been more than twenty years since Kang Woo-kyung came to Protestantism.
This is probably the first time in the thousand-year history that someone has broken through the Protestant religionâs iron-clad defense shield. His stealth skills and breakthrough abilities were that great.
Furthermore, he deceived the eyes of the guardian court and soon sneaked into the demon palace and targeted Lee Cheon-sang.
Kang Woo-kyung deceived everyone and overcome all obstacles.
However, his assassination attempt failed.
No, I couldnât even try. This was because Lee Cheon-sang was already aware of his existence even before he pulled out the sword of determination.
Although twenty years had passed, Kang Woo-kyung still remembered it clearly.
The terrifying eyes of Lee Cheon-sang, who was sitting with his chin resting in Taesa Temple and looking down at him.
The majesty of a living demon god who suppressed him with only his intimidation, without a single wave of his hand or a single slash of his sword.
At that time, Kang Woo-kyung realized.
The Heavenly Demon Church is a âgroupâ made up of countless demons. However, the true power of the Heavenly Demon Church did not come from the demons.
Only per thousand.
The power of the Heavenly Demon is the be all and end of the Heavenly Demon Church. He doesnât need any troops or tactics.
This is not a metaphor, but the moment Lee Cheon-sang himself sets foot in the martial arts world, the world will become hell.
That made me even more curious. If Lee Cheon-sang truly wanted the world, he should have gone out into the world on his own. The moment he moved, both camps of righteousness and evil would have become a sea of fire.
But why is he crouching here? Does he not want to take control of the worldâs midfield?
âFrom the perspective of the Protestants and even from the religious leaders, I was a man who deserved to die. Since they were trying to assassinate the religious leader, it wouldnât have been worth it even if they tore him to death 10,000 times. âBut the religious leader actually prepared a house for me to live in here.â
âIt did.â
âWhy did you do that?â
âI just wanted to do that.â
ââ¦?â
âI was intrigued by you. I thought it was a waste to kill him. So, I just ordered you to live here under the condition that you donât leave the Protestant church.â
âThat⦠everything?â
âDo we need another reason?â
Kang Woo-kyung sighed.
âThanks to the religious leaderâs whim, this old man was able to survive.â
âThatâs the way it is.â
âI thought about this once. I wonder if the religious leader was trying to get people to observe me. âI thought it was a ploy to cleverly uncover the Shameless Templeâs killing methods.â
âIâm not curious about that kind of trivia.â
It was an insult, but Kang Woo-kyung was not offended. If the other person is Lee Cheon-sang, it is not strange no matter what he says.
âThe why is not important.â
ââ¦?â
âWhat matters is the result. By whim or whatever, youâve lived here for over twenty years. And now, you are trying to be of help to my successor when he needs you.â
ââ¦.â
âThe hilt of the sword does not remember blood. All that matters is the fact that it was wielded. âThis moment proves that my choice was right.â
Kang Woo-kyung burst into laughter without realizing it.
âI really canât stand it.â
He got up from his seat.
âGive me back my body.â
Uduk.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of bones twisting came from Kang Woo-kyungâs body.
Lee Cheon-sang slowly turned his outstretched hand.
Crump! Crunch!
A bloody sound echoed throughout the room.
The body of a small body with a curvaceous waist changed rapidly.
He uses the axis-gol-gong technique without even touching his hands. Lee Cheon-sangâs infinite power was transforming Kang Woo-kyungâs body so easily.
Kang Woo-kyungâs face was so peaceful.
Although Lee Cheon-sang was showing the ability to reach the level of a god, there was no way he wouldnât be in pain as his muscles and bones were being twisted. Right now, he is literally enduring the pain of a broken bone.
The body changed.
Quickly, delicately and reliably. SÑará´h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âItâs done.â
âWhoa.â
Kang Woo-kyung closed his eyes, caught his breath, and looked down at his body.
There was no longer a bent old man there. There was a man with a straight back, limbs with good muscle tone, but a strong body that gave the impression of being strong.
âItâs been a really long time.â
Kang Woo-kyungâs face showed honest joy.
Lee Cheon-sang said as he filled his glass.
âYour body must have stiffened a lot. However, the size of the dantian is much larger than before, so it wonât take too long to regain your skills.â
âThank you.â
âLetâs go now.â
Kang Woo-kyung smiled.
âI hope to see you again in the future.â
Slurp.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Woo-kyung disappeared.
It is impossible to confirm with the naked eye how it disappeared. It was a secret technique that reached a magical level.
Lee Cheon-sang, who was refilling his glass, suddenly turned his eyes to the food.
He picked up a piece of well-fried meat with chopsticks and ate it.
âYou have a strong liver.â
Lee Cheon-sang turned his eyes to the window.
There was a faint magical energy in his transparent eyes.
âThere really isnât much left.â
When I go out into the world.
