Chronicles of the Demon Faction

Chapter 538



Episode 538 The Toothless Lion’s Remorse (6)

Song Sang-baek recalled the past.

– I know you as someone who started from scratch and worked his way up to that position. I don’t dare imagine, but each day was probably a series of bloody battlefields.

– Trusting a person who achieved victory in the end on a battlefield called Sapa, where deception is rampant, is like saying that you should go bare-body into the den of a great tiger that has not been hungry for several days.

It was Seo-ryang who said that with a confident voice and face.

When he first saw Seoliang, he was a small sect of the Heavenly Demon Church and that’s how he evaluated himself. At the time, I wondered what kind of bold guy he was, but his words were a compliment, not an insult. Should we say that this is Seoryangman’s tribute to the strongest of Safa factions?

I couldn’t even remember the last time I heard that kind of evaluation. That’s why I liked Seoliang even more.

To be precise, I liked the words that made him ‘recognize’ himself as the great leader of Sapa.

– It’s not new. That’s your problem. We limit ourselves with unnecessary formalities. That’s why you’re not the best in the world.

The new Heavenly Demon, who faced himself once again while chasing after Damsa-yeong, had lost his past harshness and had now acquired the dignity of a monarch, said that to me.

And he lost.

In the fight against Xu Liang, who became the Ten Heavenly Demon, Song Sang Baek thought he was defeated.

If we were to discuss the level of martial arts during the fight, he was clearly half the number ahead. If the momentum had continued, the loser would have been Seo-ryang.

But Seoliang had become a monster. Even though he was the head of an organization, he did not hesitate to risk his life to kill his opponents.

That is a foul. A leader must know how to save his own life more than anyone else. You must do this not just for yourself, but for those who believe in you and follow you.

Seoliang didn’t do that.

I risked my life and went crazy trying to survive. Song Sang-baek was defeated by Seo-ryang, who had become a true evil spirit, for the first time since he ascended to the throne of Seongju.

But what was more painful than defeat was.

What was more humiliating than feeling fear from a young Kangho junior for a long time was the fact that he was not even able to properly reflect on his own desires despite being called Suraje.

And I was convinced of that fact during my third meeting with Seoryang.

– Your aspirations are clumsy and half-hearted. So, even if you have good skills, you cannot use them properly.

– You are that kind of guy. His greed has disappeared and half of his teeth have fallen out, but his claws are still usable.

– That’s just the way it is for you and me. That’s why we’re creating this mess to win the world.

Geumbaek thought.

Why has it changed like this? No matter how clumsy his desires were, wasn’t he one of the martial gods who discussed being the best in the world?

How can you be so broken just because you had a mediocre desire and couldn’t reflect on yourself? Does this make any sense?

“That’s not like you.”

Seol-yang’s hand held his neck and Song Sang-baek, floating in the air, looked down at his opponent.

‘….’

scary.

A chill ran down my spine once again as I looked into those blue-red magical eyes that were as deep and deep as an abyss.

How on earth did this guy live with such great desires that he has already become such a monster? Where does the absolute confidence that guides us to run only looking ahead come from?

I was curious about the remittance bag. At the same time, I didn’t want to know.

This is because he instinctively knew that he was not suited for such a path.

“Are you curious? “Why are you so broken?”

Zheng Zhongbaek still said nothing.

Although he was out of breath, his red face was almost expressionless.

Xu Liang smiled.

“Do you think you ended up like that because your desires were half-hearted?”

“….”

“Fundamentally, your desire was clumsy, and with that clumsy desire, you stepped into the mud and ruined yourself, but I never thought that a man of your size would break down like this.”

“….”

“In other words, anyone can do that. But the reason why you ended up like that is very clear. “I have turned a blind eye to that clear reason and never acknowledged it, so I kept falling into the quagmire.”

A look of puzzlement appeared on Zheng Zhongbaek’s face.

reason? Is it obvious? What on earth is that?

Xi Liang said coldly.

“It’s because of Damsayoung.”

“…!!”

“I ended up joining hands with Dam Sa-yeong, not me, out of a mediocre desire. “Unfortunately, my master came out into the world and since then, you have become a puppet that does as Damsayoung wants.”

Xu Liang tilted his head to one side.

“That’s it. Desire and all that are just secondary issues. “If anyone joins hands with Dam Sa-young, they will be ruined like you.”

Seo-ryang knew that better than anyone else. He also worked as an assassin under Dam Sa-yeong and died a miserable death while leaving to seek freedom.

“There are countless reasons why I want to kill Dam Sa-young, but in the end, I am doing this because he is dangerous. This guy is like a plague, not just a righteous demon. “Everyone who comes in contact with him leaves a bad impression.”

“….”

“Look.”

Xu Liang tapped Zhong Zheng Baek’s chest with his free hand.

“The Heavenly Dragon that made you like that is telling you who the main culprit that ruined you is.”

At that moment, Zheng Zhengbaek’s eyes sparkled.

Xu Liang let go of his hand.

Sabak.

I thought I would fall helplessly and collapse, but that wasn’t the case.

A money bag lightly lowered to the ground and took a stance. His eyes were bloodshot and his entire body was filled with unstable energy, but he still stood with both feet on the ground.

Xu Liang smiled.

It was not a smile meant to tease the other person, but a truly satisfying smile.

“Yes, it has to be like this for our hard work to be worth it.”

Song Zhongbaek said calmly.

“You are truly a strange person.”

“I hear this often.”

“Do you know? “I fell into sima because of you.”

“know.”

“But both in Hubei and here, people come to their senses because of the person who put them in a deep state of despair.”

Xu Liang shook his head.

“I could have done it myself. But you turned away. “I don’t know if it’s pride or what, but people can’t grow the moment they turn their eyes away from the essence of the problem.”

“Growth… growth.”

Zheng Zhongbaek said bitterly.

“okay. I was ruined by my own clumsy desires and the presence of Dam Sa-young. That’s why my mind was born from your words.”

“And that thought caused you to fall even further into the mud.”

“In the end, there is no point in looking for the first reason.”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“Is your head turning now?”

“It’s still undignified.”

“Don’t you think you ended up like this because you were talking about dignity? “Even if I don’t want to be like you, I’m going to kill myself.”

A smile appeared on Zheng Zhongbaek’s face.

“I guess I’m a very ugly person. “If you see that you don’t get angry even after hearing that from the enemy leader.”

“If I got angry here, I would be really disappointed.”

“is it? Well, it doesn’t matter.”

Only then did Seo-ryang burst into laughter. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a roar of laughter.

“okay. I follow my own path regardless of whether others are disappointed or not. “That is what it means to be a great master.”

Zheng Zhongbaek just smiled.

Xu Liang realized. Now, I know that Song Zhengbaek has finally escaped the mental demon that was tormenting him.

Tsutsutsutsu.

Something whitish came out of Zheng Zhongbaek’s body. At first glance, it looked like fog, and at another glance, it seemed to resemble the shape of a ghost or ghost.

It was Takgi. The energy acquired through mental injury was transformed into tangible form through the will of Song Zheng Baek and surged out of the body.

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes deepened.

“This was my heart.”

Not all Takgi that make up Simma have that shape. However, it took that form because the money transfer bag thought so.

Xu Liang shook his head.

“You look scary. “Anyone would be crazy to carry something like that in their heart.”

The surest way to overcome sima is ultimately self-reflection.

This means that you have no choice but to overcome it with mental strength. The fact that Sim Ma’s Takgi looks so creepy probably means that the viciousness of Sim Ma that Song Sang-baek thinks is so strong.

Mental and emotional breakdown. That’s why Simma is more lethal than any poison in the world and sweeter than any bitter melon.

Seeing Simma slowly fading away, Song Zhengbaek asked.

“How did we get to this point?”

Seoliang explained the situation so far candidly.

A shadow appeared on Zhong Zhenbaek’s face.

“Is it that damaged?”

“It was extremely dangerous. “I think that the fact that Sandanjeon and Jungjeonjeon were able to think clearly even though they were so devastated was entirely thanks to divine skills.”

“I guess so.”

Seo-ryang’s eyes sparkled.

“It is also because of you that Soseongju collapsed like that. “You weren’t where you should be when you needed to take proper care of your student.”

“yes. “But I didn’t know he would be so broken.”

“He was also Simma.”

Geum Baek filed a complaint.

“I was so broken like my master that someone might think he wasn’t my student.”

It will be bittersweet. Before taking over the world, you had to take care of Sanghyeolseong, and before taking care of Sanghyeolseong, you had to take care of yourself.

Because that didn’t work, he, his disciples, and even the Iron Blood Castle were ruined.

Zheng Zhongbaek looked at Seo Liang.

“So you were planning to weaken the power of your true nature and make it so Damsayoung can’t use it?”

“of course. No matter what anyone says, Damsayoung thinks of me as her archenemy. This guy is the one who will go out of his way to kill me and do anything to take over the world. “Damsayoung will think that you have betrayed her, so she will use you until it wears out.”

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.

He was trying to destroy Sanghyeolseong Fortress by using his disciple. In other words, Seoliang was a clear enemy to him.

But Zheng Zhongbaek understood him. Even if it were the other way around, I would have done the same thing.

“But why did you wake me instead of killing me?”

“I don’t know.”

Seo-ryang whetted his appetite.

“It probably means that I, too, am still lacking as a leader. “I should be jumping for joy, but seeing you so broken made me not want to end this.”

Zheng Zhongbaek smiled.

“Do you know what they say?”

“Byungsinmi?”

“It’s called Gyeok (格).”

Xu Liang chuckled.

“I’m not that good of a guy.”

“Not all people with status are good people.”

“No matter what, you owe me your life. “There’s no way someone as strong as an Iron Blood Lord would put off paying their debt, right?”

“Isn’t that too shameless?”

“I’m asking you to consider what rank you like. Even though I could have marched on you and destroyed Sanghyeolseong Fortress, I didn’t do that. “If the debt is this much, even if I pay hundreds of millions of dollars, it’s not enough.”

Zheng Zhongbaek nodded.

“That’s true.”

“so.”

Xi Liang asked with a meaningful look on his face.

“What are you going to do? Do you plan to get out of this game after organizing the internal affairs?”

“You told me this before. The moment you step into the world of martial arts, no one can escape the mud. “They said the only way to escape was to ascend to heaven or die.”

“It did.”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes grew cold.

“Damsayoung is like a plague? That is indeed true. “You may be an obvious enemy, but the plague is no respecter of people.”

Xu Liang smiled.

“Do you want me to help you? “Getting rid of iron blood.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. “I am alive and well, so why should I ask for your help?”

Zheng Zhongbaek stretched out his hand toward the door.

Quang!

The thick iron gate was torn off in an instant and fell to the floor.

“Let me lend you my place. “There will be enough to last three days.”

“Can you sort it out in three days?”

Zhong Zhenbaek’s eyes sank coldly.

“The two days are just to get my body back to normal. One day is enough for cleaning up.”
