Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon

Chapter 26: The Five Evils (4)

Like gusts of wind, the members of the 1st Latent Demon Squad rushed in through the windows, jumped down from the roof, or entered through the open doors. 

The owner of the inn and remaining guests left for the kitchen, crawling on the floor in fear. 

In the meantime, each Latent Demon took something out of their pockets and threw it .

Palm-sized piercing needles! 

A total of forty-four iron needles, two from each person, soared through the air. The air exploded with the whistling wind as the needles rained down upon the heads of the Five Evils.

Hoh, what is this?! 

Blue Evil shook both hands. A strong wind struck the air in front of him, and the needles that were pouring down rebounded, flying in all directions. They embedded themselves into the walls, floor, tables, and chairs. In the end, none of the needles had hit a target. 

Watching this, Gwan Tae-ryang smirked. They hadnt thought that the needles were going to do anything to the Five Needles in the first place. This was all part of the plan! 

The needles were just enough of a distraction to divide the Five Evils and surround them. 

Gwan Tae-ryang ran to Blue Evil and swung his blade down. 

You fucking rascals! Blue Evils fist collided with the blade, causing shockwave of flame and energy to blast out. Retreating from the danger zone, further separated from the other Evils. . 

The other members had also done their jobs, surrounding the White, Red, and Yellow Evils. 

The only one left was the strongest of the Evils. 

Woon-seong began to move towards that one. 

Just as Woon-seong moved, so did Black Evil. Realizing the situation, Black Evil had figured out who his opponent was through almost animalistic intuition.

The others sword met Woon-seongs spear with a smack, making a harsh sound. They were soon face to face. 

Did you say you will send me to Buddha?

Why? Would you prefer meeting the Asura in hell? Woon-seong taunted. 

Im fine. Why dont you go yourself? Ill personally lend you a hand by breaking your skull.

A few other choice words were exchanged as their weapons collided. 

Woon-seong gripped his wrist, which was trembling slightly. Hes strong indeed.

Black Evil was surprised too. So young yet so much inner strength! Hes definitely a dog of the Demonic Cult and a pawn of the Devil. His arm was shaking from the strength of Woon-seongs attack. I must not hold back. If I dont cut him down here, I will surely regret it later.

Black Evil attracted energy towards himself, now set on killing Woon-seong at once. A dark energy flowed out of the sword, stretching out into several branches at once. These branches eventually gathered in one place, overlapping with each other. Sword aura. 

Looking at its appearance, Woon-seong also activated his own energy. A dark energy soared out from the spear and wrapped around it. In response to the sword aura, he had activated his own spear aura. 

Hahaha. So a spear qi is the best you can do? Youre pretty good for your age, but youre still no match for me! But dont worry. I dont enjoy torturing men, so Ill end this quickly.

At his words, Woon-seong bounded forward instead of proving an answer. 

You seem to lack patience. Black Evil also wielded his sword. As Woon-seong ducked, the fearsome pressure of the sword aura passed over his shoulder, cutting him. Woon-seong grit his teeth and swung his spear, but Black Evil had already stepped back and escaped. 

There were several other exchanges, but the result was no different. Despite no huge injuries, Woon-seong consistently moved half a beat slower than Black Evil. With the aggressive nature of sword aura, Woon-seong was soon covered in small cuts. 

Woon-seong spun his spear and backed off, barely breaking off from Black Evils offensive. Its a bit difficult. It wasnt easy, but it wasnt terribly hard either. The good news was that the sword aura coming from the sword was weaker than in the beginning. It seems like hes burning up his qi.

Woon-seong wasnt so sure what to do. If he dragged this out, his opponent would definitely become too exhausted. As the fight progressed though, his chances of becoming critically injured also increased. 

Ill have to do it.

Woon-seong released the iron rings that bound his arms. 

Boom, boom!

Black Evils eyes trembled finely at the heavy sound of them hitting the wooden floor. Before he could react, the boy had charged over. Spear met sword with sparks of fire. Within this chaos, Woon-seong attacked and parried Black Evil more easily than before. Debris spilled all over the place, tables and chairs smashed into piles of driftwood. 

A flash of light. With the sound of thunder, Black Evil was pushed back. Black Evil stared alternately at the sword in his hand and Woon-seong. He ground his teeth. You hid your strength! 

Youre spouting nonsense. Woon-seong grinned and received his words. It was natural for the energy consumption of Black Evil to be greater than  his own. Do you stupid, fake monks not even know how to pace yourselves? 

Indeed, it was almost like his opponent was a guy who didnt know his own limitations, believed too much in his martial arts, and ran around.

Breathing was not merely breathing. Knowing ones own limits, adjusting the force and power used as necessary was also a part of breathing. Black Evil had neglected this. 

Woon-seong activated his intimidation qi, one of his best weapons. Everyone else was busy dealing with their own problems and no one was concerned about this dark energy. It flowed out like a cloud from the boys body, spreading out towards Black Evil. In addition to understanding the Five Evils and improving his understanding of the intimidation qi, Woon-seong also had practiced energy management to surprising levels. It crawled along the floor and wrapped Black Evil. 

You may be an apostate monkbut if youve ever learned Buddhist qi at all, you cant ignore this.

It had a surprisingly good effect on the mind of Black Evil, whose movements became slower and more robotic. Woon-seong grinned and gripped his spear. Ill gift you two things at once! Spear aura!

Kuakuakuakuakua-!

While Black Evil tried to escape the offensive, he also tried to shake off the intimidation qi. He screamed, a mixture of pain and frustration. At this time, a powerful sword aura flowed out of his sword once again with a brilliant light! 

Boom!

However, the moment this aura collided with his opponents, Woon-seongs energy changed. Dozens of branches of qi soared into existence, visible to the eye. 

Knng!

They cut straight through the sword! The upper torso of Black Evil was sliced just like his sword and fell. 

Looking at such a person, Woon-seong left a last message. Go to hell, you fake monk.

After saying this, Woon-seong no longer cared for Black Evil and moved again. This time, his goal was another Evil. 

Some distance away, Baek Woon-ji took a hit and staggered back. Her hand was torn and blood flowed out. 

Alternate! Another member jumped out from behind her, switching positions. 

What they were doing now was their wheel formation battle against the Evil. Following the plan, their fight would continue until Woon-seong came after his fight with Black Evil. Even though the Evils were stronger than the squad members, the difference was not enough to kill them with a single blow. Thus, as long as they shifted positions, they could persevere. 

Or at least, thats how it should have been.

Baek Woon-ji was panting heavily. 

Hey you! Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Yellow Evil could not hide his lustful eyes and chased after Baek Woon-ji, completely ignoring the others. 

She barely blocked his blade. Luckily, he was always aiming in the same positions: her chest, hips, and thighs. As a woman, this was extremely unpleasant. Still, it allowed her to barely block and stay alive. 

When the Evil ignored him, the squad member, who had shifted with Baek Woon-ji, wielded his blade from behind. 

Son of a bitch! This Venerable here is trying to reach Buddha by achieving harmony between yin and yang! Yellow Evil swung his arm backwards, punching the guy away.

Yellow Evil spared no energy when dealing with males. This young man, who had been beaten up, flew into the air and was thrown far away in an arc of blood. One of the seven people fell and the balance of power had been broken. 

Haha, dont be in a hurry. Come here, back to me!

Although the situation was creepy, Baek Woon-ji knew his target and barely blocked his attack. 

Thats in the way! Yellow Evil twisted his body. He flew to the side and smacked at the sword in Baek Woon-jis hands. Slicked with blood, the sword easily slipped from her hands. 

Now empty-handed, Baek Woon-ji turned white as a sheet. Fucking-!

Yellow Evil extended a wicked hand towards her. With this hand coming towards her, Baek Woon-ji shut her eyes. She wanted to die! The other possibility was worse than death! 

A rattling boom sounded, like a thunderbolt was sent down from the Heavens. Baek Woon-ji, amazed by the sound, opened her eyes. There was only one thing to see. Yellow Evil had been split into two. 

Beyond that was the figure of a spearmen who was walking towards White Evil. 

After Black Evil and Red Evil, Woon-seong had finished off Yellow Evil and now moved to beat White Evil. With his bracers off, he was trying to end the battle as soon as possible. If I waste any more time, the squad members would sustain too much damage. One of them had already suffered a serious injury.

As he moved towards White Evil, Woon-seong noticed that Gwan Tae-ryang was still fighting with Blue Evil. Though his Lieutenant seemed to be passively taking hits, he wasnt being pushed back in the least. Rather, it was embarrassing to watch Blue Evil attack with such carnal desperation. Woon-seong could already see the result. Gwan Tae-ryang will win. It wouldnt be easy, but there wouldnt be any major problems either. 

Gwan Tae-ryang would not need any help. Ill finish off White Evil.

Given the power disparity, it wasnt much of a fight. Within a few moments, White Evils arms were cut off as his decapitated head rolled across the floor. 

Around that time, the other fight was also ending. With great triumph, Gwan Tae-ryang stabbed through the chest of Blue Evil point-blank, piercing his heart. 

Only Gwan Tae-ryang cheered, the other Latent Demons too exhausted. Ever the calm one, Woon-seong looked on as he put  his iron rings back on. 

The battle against the Five Evils was over.
