His jaw dropped when he looked at the martial arts brought by the AI.
In addition to the basic martial arts of the sect, he also obtained the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts which only the disciple of the sect leader should know. Combining them could turn into the ultimate martial arts attack.
What even is this?
Shaolin, Wudang, and Mount Hua’s skills were acquired, and furthermore, it was a situation where even the martial arts of the Heavenly Demon which were known to be his own began to come up.
“Kuak, surprising… if you die a thousand times does one learn this much? But… Uh? That guy, he looked like was going to attack?”
Pat
As soon as the AI said so, the angry old man disappeared from sight again, and he was back to using that vanishing martial art.
And—
Will we both use the same…?!
Even the AI could no longer be seen.
It was a divine technique which erased traces of one’s body. Normally it was used for the purpose of hiding the presence of the body in a stealth mission, and now both were using it casually.
Because it was more appropriate to deceive the other person’s vision.
Shshshshs!
The sounds of things breaking filled the area. Seol-Hwi was not even able to tell who was chasing who.
The person who appeared superior in the pursuit was not the AI.
This!
Maybe because he was not Supreme Demon yet or his internal energy was lacking, but he could see the AI first.
And Wang Mo-ryeok came next.
He did not say a word at all as he moved.
No!
It was too late to avoid, and seeing the AI’s form vanish made him go stiff. If he died, so would he, so he screamed the moment he saw something strange
The form of the AI began to distort, and he could see the image of him being pierced through the abdomen by the right hand of the old man.
An illusion?
Sasasak!
There were two illusions of the AI. It was then that he realized what martial art he was using.
The Heavenly Demon King’s Step.
A person of the sect should surely be aware of what this was as there were stories about it.
Among the debates about what was the best way for a warrior to become strong, one wouldn’t hesitate to put this in the top three.
It was a technique that created 12 illusions at once, and the true power of it was that even when it was an illusion, it could still be real.
Dudu
Was it because he was only at the Peak Demon level that the AI could only produce three?
“How dare you use tricks!”
The old man screamed.
He did not seem to see that the AI was using one of the most well known techniques, the one the sect leader uses.
Unlike the technique he used to seal his presence which was well known to only be given to the elders chosen by the sect leader—
It was a new technique which even his top disciples were not taught.
Sasak
Two illusions moved.
Swish
The green light around Wang Mo-ryeok’s hands rose like a mountain, and it was directed at the illusion coming for him.
Kwaang!
There were no more variables.
This explosion was bigger than anything he had ever seen, and in an instant, the illusion melted and collapsed to the ground.
Uh?! One more!?
It seemed that he had recognized what he saw.
“Huak!”
But it was too late now.
Who would have known that he would be able to use two techniques of Heavenly Demon Martial Arts at the same time?
Wang Mo-ryeok was gasping for air and went on the defensive as the AI approached him.
No, it seemed like that, but even while putting both hands up to protect his body, he flicked his fingers to unleash the Sharp Energy Shot.
Sharp Energy Shot!
Seol-Hwi watched in horror as this man crossed his chest, flicked his fingers and shot it.
It was only then that he fully grasped the gap between Peak and Supreme Demon.
But—
Wheik
Facing this made the AI turn his body to not get hit. And that response shocked him.
Wheeing!
The air around created by the sword engulfed the energy shots.
Those vicious balls of energy which could blow up everything at the slightest bit of contact were caught up in the round motion of the sword.
Is that the Taiji Wisdom Sword?
He knew it the moment he saw it.
The weight of a thousand pounds on the defender—the air moving around now began to swirl around the body of the AI, which was something he had never experienced.
“Wudang’s martial arts? You bastard, just what are you!”
Wang Mo-ryeok shouted. He was at Supreme Demon, so he should have figured it out.
“Must be surprised. Then more from now on.”
Wooong!
The ceiling was already collapsing. In the middle of all this, the AI continued to attack.
Swush!
—a quick stabbing movement.
The old man managed to easily evade, but the speed gradually increased, and the direction of the stabbing was shaky as it aimed to the left and then right, so Wang Mo-ryeok poured energy into defending himself.
At that point—
Tick. Tick.
The sword of the AI began to build up internal qi, and it offended the nerves of Wang Mo-ryeok by changing the flow of his.
He stretched out both hands to destroy the stabbing movement.
“Once in a while… eup!”
The moment he moved, ready to catch the sword—
Dozens of swords began to form around the sword of the AI and promptly changed position.
“Eik!”
When the location and the direction to block changed, Wang Mo-ryeok hurriedly moved.
Chik! Chik! Chik!
Although he had already risen to the top and did his best he could to defend, the damage surely seemed less, but his knees and shoulders were not stopping.
Perhaps this is Zen Sword.
Seol-Hwi thought.
Mount Hua’s sword—
The process of its defense without compromising on offense, it was capable of responding to anything. That was being used now.
Ssss!
Again, the difference between the two felt close.
And the AI began to move.
“Hey, moron.”
-Uh?
“I have been thinking about it, but there is this guy in the library. His life is….”
“What, of course, I am just playing with him. But now that I see this, it seems like I need to do something strong to kill him. Normally, it was impossible to even do it considering the gap between you two is so much.”
-Then what? Ah, didn’t you get the absolute supreme martial arts? That is a special skill?
“Ah, I didn’t tell you but those are skills that can be used only when you reach Supreme Demon. If there was something I could have used, I would have used it a long time back.”
-…
“Still, well. There is one way. You might not like it, but…”
Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.
Then AI suddenly pointed out the blood flow in his body—and touched it.
-No. No. Why are you touching the blood points!
“If you don’t kill him he will kill you. And isn’t this a way your life gets ruined?”
-It won’t be ruined until you decide to touch the blood point! You jerk! Who said anything about being ruined?
“But this is already ruined? I am quite blown… first of all, the energy is the one which should pass through the point… and it will grow back later.”
Dudud
The effect of touching the points was immediate. He could see tremors on his body.
To hold life, an unprecedented energy which existed only within the body began to move through the entire body.
-Oh for real. You bastard…
And he looked at the eyes of the old man and could see emotions of anger in that.
“You… who are you? To use martial arts of both our sect and others at the same time.”
“Why? Are you curious about it?”
“Of course I am curious about it. Maybe I will take you with me as a test subject worth slicing into.”
“What now? You fucking bastard. What will you take from here now?”
“Kukuk.”
The opponent gradually began to get up and take a stance.
Clap
And in the meantime, the AI put the Wind Sword into its sheath and spread out both hands.
-Wait, you won’t use the sword?
“Just shut that mouth of yours.”
Dudud
And he began to use energy.
Burning hot—
The muscles looked swollen and the veins were clear on the body now. It was like the body of a taoist dealing with odd martial arts or something.
Is he going to use the Shaolin Five Fist?
It was not too clear, but it seemed like something similar, so it seemed to be a Shaolin technique for now.
20… 19…
It is about time.
Just in time when the time counting came back, he turned impatient.
If there is no winner in the fight, what will happen?
Maybe he would die.
At that time, the AI told him,
“Do not doubt this. I have had countless fights more difficult than this one. Among them, there was a guy who was so strong that this guy cannot even compare.”
Those words made Seol-Hwi feel a little relieved.
Kukuku
The ceiling was now starting to collapse too, so he had no choice but to believe in him. It was a situation where he had to risk our life to get things done.
“Should we go?”
This time, the AI raised his fist to the opponent who needed time to prepare.
“You are crossing the line.”
Seeing this, Wang Mo-ryeok smiled and spread his hand out.
-Kuak!
And he saw a huge beam of light which covered the basement.
Without even wasting any time, the AI slammed the beam with the back of his hand—
Energy Slash.
He couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with his own eyes, taking down an attack like it didn’t matter.
“And down.”
When he arrived at the opponent’s side, the movement of Wang Mo-ryeok changed.
He was using both his hands, already with energy shots ready.
It was a situation which felt no longer normal. But the behavior of the AI made him doubt his eyes.
Puak!
A few lines formed on his body, and he thought it would be the end but—
-What?
The pill in the belt was used. He used it to heal the wounds right then, and in the blink of an eye the flesh quickly filled the place where he was hurt.
“What?”
The old man was shocked again.
No matter how great he was, no, if he was just a Peak Demon then such resilience was not so common.
“It is done.”
In that fleeting moment—
The AI who came to him smiled.
“…?”
Uh?
Seol-Hwi doubted it when he looked at the text, and the direct counter was ready by the old man, but it was too late.
Kwaang!
Violet colored flames rose, consuming everything around. It was a power where the face of the old man vanished in an instant
Kwakwakwang!
The flames which spread even on the ground destroyed the entire basement.
Gugugugung!
The building collapsed.
He couldn’t even see the AI any longer and he thought he was about to die.
Again, another one of the medicines was being used.
He is alive.
Kukukung!
There was someone who moved little by little in the collapsed building. When he saw that, he was not sure on how to act.
The action he made a moment back—
Lowering his head as he jumped up.
Perhaps that was the mimic to ↕ sign of the motion of lowering the head and lifting the body up.
-For real… uh?
3… 2…
And he saw it—
A scene which brought him out of his thoughts.
And he saw more text.
He didn’t know what it meant, but he didn’t have time to hesitate and was curious as well.
He wanted to hear ‘his story’ which he had never heard due to the lack of time. Even if it meant to not see him for a few months.
