Chapter 215: Chapter 215

The Dark Wind Demon suppressed his mind and slowly raised his momentum. Who held the upper hand, such a standard was of no concern to martial artists.

A strange place where the weak could kill the strong, that was precisely what the Martial World was.

From the moment one considered their opponent fearful, they had already lost. Therefore, one must face the enemy with the absolute certainty of victory.

The Dark Wind Demon raised his sword.

He still had many techniques left, and the massive internal energy he had absorbed using the Blood-Sucking Art wriggled inside his body.

There was no reason to lose.

Now, by killing this bastard, taking his power, and snapping the Blood Demon’s neck, he would return as the Dark Wind Demon, the strongest demon of all.

With the determination to make it happen, he raised his energy.

“Give up. Whether in the past or now, you will not be able to go any further.”

Dan Woo-hyun muttered as if he were reading his mind.

Along with that, in a place where not even a single handful of wind blew, a strange wind rushed in and wrapped around Dan Woo-hyun.

It was as if the wind, a part of nature, had become Dan Woo-hyun’s limbs.

Though flustered by the strange phenomenon, the Dark Wind Demon laughed heroically.

“Yes, let’s settle this. You and I! Who is the truly strongest!”

“How absurd.”

Dan Woo-hyun shook his head and sneered.

Until now, countless others had said the same thing.

However, just looking at the fact that not a single person had surpassed him, one could tell that the title of Martial God was by no means an exaggeration.

However, the opponent was the Dark Wind Demon.

No matter how resurrected he was using the Advent Art, he had become stronger, not weaker, compared to before.

“Do not look down on me!”

The wave-like momentum erupted without stopping. It was a formidable power that terrified not only Sa Do-hak but even Namgung Cheon.

He kicked off the ground and leapt forward.

Closing the distance in an instant, he swung his sword.

It was loaded with a strength so powerful that it was hard to believe it was a sword swung with a single hand.

Clang-!

Yet, Dan Woo-hyun, who had still not drawn his sword, raised his scabbard and blocked the Dark Wind Demon’s move.

The consecutively flying blades gave no room to breathe.

Countless exchanges of offense and defense occurred at point-blank range.

Clang, clang!

Boom, boom!

The earth-shaking collisions created the illusion that an earthquake had occurred.

Because of the sudden roar and the collapse of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, even the Demonic Cultists who were flocking could not dare to approach and only watched from a distance.

No one could approach that place.

That was the same for Sa Do-hak and Namgung Cheon as well.

“You bastard! Draw your sword!”

“…”

The Dark Wind Demon gnashed his teeth.

They had already clashed for more than ten exchanges.

Yet Dan Woo-hyun still did not even think of drawing his sword. Not only did he block every incoming sword, but he did not move a single step from where he stood.

How could this be a human?

However, that situation became the trigger that raised the Dark Wind Demon’s full strength.

At some point during the relentless clashing, he suddenly took his hand off his sword and extended his leg.

Yet the sword was still moving freely.

“Telekinetic Sword Art!?”

“Amazing…”

Sa Do-hak and Namgung Cheon could also perform the Telekinetic Sword Art. However, they could not make the body use martial arts separately while the sword moved on its own, as the Dark Wind Demon was demonstrating.

The Telekinetic Sword Art was a technique where immense concentration and minute control of internal energy were key.

Therefore, it was by no means an easy task to perform another martial art while simultaneously performing the Telekinetic Sword Art.

However, Dan Woo-hyun’s response was even more surprising.

He lightly deflected the sword flying through the air and avoided the incoming punches and kicks just by slightly tilting his body.

This was despite the fact that the Dark Wind Demon’s rapid movements were difficult for even the two of them to properly grasp.

Boom-! Boom-!

Eventually, the Dark Wind Demon retrieved his sword, stepped back, and unleashed palm energy. A massive demonic energy poured out, swallowing Dan Woo-hyun’s entire body.

It was a fierce blow from which no one seemed able to emerge alive.

Whoosh-!

“Ugh…!”

However, Dan Woo-hyun was unharmed.

The protective qi guarding his body showed no sign of breaking.

Rather, the Dark Wind Demon, who had been attacking fiercely, lost his balance and slumped down.

What on earth was this?

“A solid defense can also become an attack. Have you forgotten that too?”

Dan Woo-hyun looked at the Dark Wind Demon with a dull gaze.

It was a completely different feeling from when he first faced him.

It was as if he had lost interest.

He even let out a small sigh as he looked at the Dark Wind Demon, who was trying to stand up again.

“I have already fully understood your level.”

“Ugh… Do… Don’t make me laugh. Still…”

“I tried to check how strong someone resurrected using the Advent Art could become… but in the end, it seems clear that even immortal arts have their limits.”

Shring-!

For the first time, Dan Woo-hyun drew his sword.

At the sharpness of the naturally drawn blade, the Dark Wind Demon felt as if his entire body were being cut.

“I wasted time in vain.”

“Y-You bastard-!”

The Dark Wind Demon felt something bizarre.

A warning that he must absolutely not let that sword be swung.

That ominous premonition pierced from the tips of his toes to the top of his head.

However, it was too late to avoid, and he lacked the strength to block it.

‘Then I will resist even if I have to vomit out all my internal energy!’

The Dark Wind Demon’s demonic energy boiled like lava.

As expected of the one who had seized control of the Demonic Cult in an instant, it was a massive amount of energy.

Soon, at the moment the Dark Wind Demon looked at Dan Woo-hyun and was about to swing his sword with all his might.

Their eyes met.

“Once, I recall what that guy said.”

‘That guy?’

Even if others did not know who he was referring to, the Dark Wind Demon instantly realized who the guy Dan Woo-hyun was talking about was.

“That the Dark Wind Demon… actually seemed to want to die, he said.”

Finishing his words, Dan Woo-hyun swung his sword.

The blow, carrying a fierce wind, approached, crushing everything in front of it.

Although he tried to respond by raising his peak energy, the Dark Wind Demon’s demonic energy scattered as if it were purified and vanished.

The Dark Wind Demon stared blankly at it.

This could never be blocked, nor could it be avoided.

The moment he realized that fact, he felt it once again.

This sensation was quite different from when he was defeated by the Blood Demon.

‘Yes, the Martial God is indeed the Martial God.’

The Blood Demon was also strong… but it was fundamentally different from the power the Blood Demon possessed.

The man called the Limitless Demon King, no, the Martial God, presented a death that was not a single bit different from the past.

Before he knew it, feeling the death that had approached right before his nose, he looked at Dan Woo-hyun.

He saw the face of the absolute being smiling.

Rumble-!

To Namgung Cheon and Sa Do-hak, it was a single sword strike that should not exist in this world.

The power that spread out the moment it was thrust carried a destructive force several times greater than the blow that had collapsed the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Not even a trace of the Dark Wind Demon could be found.

Nothing remained where he had been standing either.

Even the remnants of the collapsed pavilion had vanished.

Ten chang in a fan shape.

Perhaps even more than that.

The trees and walls standing near the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, and even the countless pavilions beyond them, were blown away without a trace.

If this was truly a scene created by human power, all Martial World public would despair.

Namgung Cheon and Sa Do-hak especially did not want to believe it.

Both were among the top experts of the world, but they did not possess the power to sweep away the terrain entirely like this.

How could a human do such an absurd thing?

“Martial God…”

Namgung Cheon muttered and swallowed his dry saliva.

If it were someone who had reached the realm where such a thing was truly possible, it would be the person in the legends.

The one whose stories were so absurd that they were thought to be mere exaggerations.

Would it not be possible only for that Martial God?

“Just who on earth are you…”

Namgung Cheon muttered with a trembling gaze.

The descendant of the Martial God?

At first, he had thought so. Because he had considered it the most rational guess.

However, no matter how great the Martial God’s martial arts were and even if he had inherited them, such power could never be achieved at such a young age.

At that moment.

“You crazy bastard-!”

Sa Do-hak shouted wildly and ran hurriedly toward Dan Woo-hyun.

Puffing and with a red face, he stopped right in front of Dan Woo-hyun and shouted with all his might, venting his anger.

“Even if I said it was fine to fight recklessly, how could you lay waste to everything like this!?”

“Was it not you who said it was fine?”

Seeing the angry Sa Do-hak, Dan Woo-hyun frowned. The goal was to kill the Dark Wind Demon, and in any case, he had achieved it.

Moreover, since Sa Do-hak himself had no intention of returning to the Demonic Cult, he had also said that he could fight recklessly.

However, was this not a bit too much?

Let’s assume that collapsing the Heavenly Demon Pavilion could not be helped.

As it was a space too cramped for the experts of the Heaven Beyond Heaven to clash, it was expected that it would be broken and damaged to some extent.

But not only did he collapse it, he also blew away the entire surrounding area.

Whether a human could do this or not was no longer the problem.

“Even so, this is…”

Sa Do-hak looked around and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

Countless Demonic Cultists were standing blankly with the exact same stupid expressions, unable to say a single word.

“It is too much!”

“If it is broken, can it not just be repaired?”

Sighing, Sa Do-hak let out a genuine sigh.

Then, with eyes like a dead fish, he grabbed Dan Woo-hyun’s shoulder.

“The place you blew away contains the Demonic Cult’s hidden treasures as well as the place that manages the finances. Naturally, even the money for reconstruction has all been blown away… are you going to pay for that cost?”

At that moment, Dan Woo-hyun’s expression changed abruptly.

He, who had been completely unmoved until now, looked genuinely shocked.

Slowly avoiding Sa Do-hak’s piercing gaze, he turned his head.

“It was not I who did it.”

“It was you!”

“The dead guy did it.”

“What…?”

“It was all the Dark Wind Demon’s doing.”

“Hey…”

To make excuses when all these people had witnessed the entire situation?

Sa Do-hak frowned, dumbfounded by the shamelessness.

However, Dan Woo-hyun’s shameless expression showed no sign of changing.

“I’m really going crazy…”

Sa Do-hak let out a long sigh repeatedly.

It was true that he wanted to smash things up, but he had not intended to deal a blow serious enough to sever its lineage.

Since it was just a matter of catching and beating up a few higher-ups. What sin did the cultists who merely followed commit?

He sighed again and turned his head to Dan Woo-hyun.

‘At the very least, if I can get some repair fees…’

“He’s gone!?”

However, Dan Woo-hyun had already vanished before he knew it.

Whether he sank into the ground or soared into the sky, there was not even a trace of his presence.

“Ah, this is driving me crazy! Seriously-!”

Sa Do-hak’s cry containing his anger covered the Tianshan Demonic Cult.
