Ma Yeo-ryong, the young master of the Demonic Dao Tower, swung a giant, crescent-shaped, deford sword.
The red-haired Eum Sa-yeong, the young master of the Blood Demon Sea, unleashed the Blood Fla Demon Palm, which burns blood and organs, just like the Blood Hair Evil Lord.
Muk Bi of the Black Heaven Demon God Sect created a black mist, disappeared into it, and approached, while Bi Sa-geol of the Red Fla Gale House swung his red twin swords like a gale.
The rising stars of the White Horse Tomb and the Spirit Realm also unleashed their respective ultimate techniques.
With all their might, with the strongest power they could unleash. But one by one, they were thoroughly knocked down by a single punch. It was a brutal punch that crushed even the will to fight.
Since more than ten people had rushed in at the sa ti, it was a storm-like joint attack, but once Banjeok Myeong decided to move, not a single blow could land. They couldn't even graze him.
Witnessing such a scene, Tie Paigang and Sima Long realized that the reason they had been able to strike Banjeok Myeong was because he had allowed it.
They had been thoroughly, completely defeated.
"We lost... We lost."
Tie Paigang said, letting his arms hang limp.
Sima Long glared at Banjeok Myeong with eyes full of killing intent. However, he too had his arms hanging limp, as if he had given up the fight.
Banjeok Myeong turned towards the two of them.
"What are you doing? Not coming."
"We lost."
Tie Paigang declared his defeat.
Banjeok Myeong stared at him blankly.
Looking at Sima Long, he wasn't speaking, but it was the sa for him.
Banjeok Myeong smirked.
"You're misunderstanding sothing."
"......?"
"......!"
"From the beginning, I had no intention of competing with you guys to see who was stronger."
"What do you an by that?"
"It was training. I chose you all for training to control this overflowing power. So stop with the petty pride and co quickly. Co at with all your might. Rush at like crazy. I'm telling you, you can have the Heavenly Pavilion if you just defeat ."
Banjeok Myeong said so as he swept his gaze over everyone.
Of course, that wasn't all.
It was also to control the overflowing power of the Immortal Demonic Aura at will, but more importantly, it was to face the martial arts learned by the masters of the Nine Demonic Dao Sects beforehand. Weren't they the ones who had inherited the progress of the Nine Demonic Dao Sect masters?
"Was it training? You were training against ?"
Tie Paigang, whose pride was crushed, beca truly enraged.
Now, things like the Vermilion Bird Returning Ring or the Heavenly Pavilion were not important. If he couldn't defeat him, he would rather die.
Tie Paigang, who rushed in fiercely, driven by malice.
Sima Long also gnashed his teeth and rushed in, and the others all rushed in as well. It was truly an angry wave. A pack of wolves hungry for blood.
Everyone was in a frenzy to tear Banjeok Myeong apart and mutilate him.
Banjeok Myeong, who had clenched his two fists, unleashed the footwork of the Hundred Strikes Art.
He shot in a straight line towards Tie Paigang at the front, blocked his furiously rushing fist by raising his left forearm, and then stretched out a thunderous punch.
Thwack!
Tie Paigang, who staggered from the fierce blow to his chest.
Banjeok Myeong moved one step to the side and lowered his posture.
Swoosh!
The empty space where his head had been exploded.
It was Sima Long's Asura Blood Demon Art.
Thwack!
Sima Long tilted precariously.
It was because Banjeok Myeong, who had lowered his posture and let the Asura Blood Demon Art pass, had struck Sima Long's thigh.
Swoosh!
Banjeok Myeong's fist, which shot up like a thunderbolt towards the tilted Sima Long's face.
Flash!
Ma Yeo-ryong's deford sword aid for Banjeok Myeong's neck.
Even if he made Sima Long's face into a pulp, his neck would be cut, so Banjeok Myeong had no choice but to move one step to the side.
That was enough.
Ma Yeo-ryong's deford sword pointlessly split the empty air.
At this ti, Banjeok Myeong shot out.
Thwack!
Ma Yeo-ryong flew back.
The Iron Mountain Strike!
Banjeok Myeong had struck him with his shoulder.
The mont he sent Ma Yeo-ryong flying, three weapons rushed in at the sa ti.
Clang!
He blocked the Heaven Killing Ghost Sword unleashed by Yong Cheon-sang of the Dragon Flower Ghost Sect, avoided the twin swords swung like a gale by Bi Sa-geol of the Red Fla Gale House, and struck his head.
After blocking the two like that, Eum Sa-yeong unleashed the Blood Fla Demon Palm, and Hyuk Ryeon-gi of the White Horse Tomb unleashed the Heavy Wheel, attacking without a mont's rest.
Crash! Thwack, thwack, thwack!
The mont he breathlessly blocked the Blood Fla Demon Palm and the Heavy Wheel.
Tie Paigang's younger sister, Tie Haigang, threw her whole body and hugged Banjeok Myeong tightly.
Tie Haigang had realized that with her attacks, she could not even land a single blow on Banjeok Myeong, let alone defeat him. Recalling how Tie Paigang had wrapped his two arms around Banjeok Myeong, she thought it had a chance of success and had been watching for that opportunity all along, and only at this mont was she able to grab Banjeok Myeong.
Banjeok Myeong, who was held by Tie Haigang, looked up.
A black mist was rushing in from above his head.
It was Muk Bi of the Black Heaven Demon God Sect.
The Dark Annihilation Spear!
Who could dare to avoid the spear of annihilation that would end and annihilate everything within the black mist after creating it and swallowing the opponent?
Tie Haigang had seen the scene where Tie Paigang was defeated by Banjeok Myeong's elbow. So she held on with all her might and at the sa ti, pressed her face against the back of Banjeok Myeong's neck.
But just before Muk Bi's Dark Annihilation Spear indiscriminately bombarded the top of his head, Banjeok Myeong bent his upper body like a thunderbolt.
Tie Haigang, who had been hugging him from behind, ended up being carried on Banjeok Myeong's back.
Crash, crash, crash, crash, crash!
The spear of annihilation fell like a downpour.
"Sister!"
Yong Cheon-sang shouted in fright.
Muk Bi belatedly and forcibly withdrew the spear of annihilation. At that mont, Banjeok Myeong broke free from the limp Tie Haigang, kicked the ground, and shot up.
Thwack!
Banjeok Myeong, who broke through the black mist and struck Muk Bi.
He then fell to the ground and slamd Muk Bi's head on the floor.
Thud!
The Heaven Collapsing after the Iron Mountain Strike!
Muk Bi's body went limp.
But his head was not broken. It ant he was not dead.
It wasn't just Muk Bi.
At the sa ti as Banjeok Myeong dealt with Muk Bi, a wave of attacks from those who had resolved to die rushed in, and without a single exception, they were all knocked down. But not a single one of them died either.
The desired amount of power control.
Martial arts is not about recklessly pouring out one's power, but about unleashing it as desired.
Banjeok Myeong was properly finding that path.
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour. It should be enough ti to catch your breath."
Banjeok Myeong said as he swept his gaze over everyone.
***
Four hours.
It was taking longer than expected.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo beca more and more silent as ti went on.
Even though enough ti had passed for them to finish off the brat and settle the score between the two, they weren't coming out.
Could there have been an unexpected problem?
There was no way to know. Since the sound of fighting continued, there was no choice but to wait.
Could it be that the two brats were so evenly matched that they couldn't settle the score?
That could be.
If that was really the case, it wasn't bad.
Regardless of the outco, it would be a precious experience that could not be bought even with a thousand gold.
The problem was one of them being broken to the point where they couldn't use their martial arts. But that wouldn't happen. Because they were brats who could control and restrain their power enough not to break their opponent.
Even if it did, it couldn't be helped. Because the demonic dao was a world of the strong preying on the weak.
Another half an hour passed.
The sun set and darkness covered the square.
Although torches and bonfires were pushing back the darkness here and there, it was far from enough.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo sat stiffly like thousand-year-old trees and made various predictions, but it was taking too long.
To think they were still fighting.
An unknown anxiety began to creep in.
Another half an hour passed, and then another hour.
The sound of fighting was no longer heard.
It had been an hour. Since the sound of fighting had stopped.
The thousands of demonic people waiting in the square were murmuring. They were excited with the expectation that they could see the winner, as the fight seed to be over.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo consciously did not look at each other. They were just staring at the giant stone gate that was majestically situated in the distant darkness.
It was when another quarter of an hour was passing.
Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!
The stone gate began to open.
Beyond the stone gate, an ice valley deeper than the darkness was visible. And soon, one by one, the participants ca out, cutting through the darkness.
The first to co out was Yong Cheon-sang.
He ca out carrying Tie Haigang on his back.
Next were Ma Yeo-ryong and Muk Bi. Ma Yeo-ryong ca out supporting Muk Bi.
Who was the winner?
While they were watching with their necks craned, Tie Paigang and Sima Long ca out side by side.
But neither of them looked like a winner.
It wasn't just the two of them.
It was the sa for everyone who was coming out in a line.
They all looked like defeated soldiers.
They looked as if they had stord into hell, had been defeated, and had barely escaped.
"Who's the winner?"
"I don't know..."
"Sima Long looks like the winner, right? It's the first ti I've seen Tie Paigang look so dejected."
"That's true, but Sima Long is also just looking at the ground and walking."
Murmurs were heard from here and there.
But the mont the last participant ca out, the murmuring stopped abruptly.
Banjeok Myeong was coming out.
In a perfectly fine state.
With a confident stride.
That wasn't all that was surprising.
The participants who had co out earlier all stopped their steps at once. And they moved to both sides and opened a path.
Banjeok Myeong walked between them.
The entire square was engulfed in shock and astonishnt.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo shot up from their seats with their eyes wide open.
The square fell into a deep silence.
It was the mont when it beca clear who the winner was. But they could not send cheers and applause to the winner. Because it was such an unexpected and shocking result.
"It was a promise you made on yourselves, not on your families."
Banjeok Myeong left those words to the rising stars of the demonic dao and continued to walk.
Towards Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo could not take their eyes off Banjeok Myeong.
'I have to kill him!'
'Now. I have to kill him now. If I can't, there won't be a chance in the future!'
It was the intuition of a master.
The two raised their internal energy and waited for Banjeok Myeong.
Banjeok Myeong, who finally stopped in front of the two.
Banjeok Myeong stared at the two blankly.
"......!"
"......?"
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo felt their chests becoming heavy.
It wasn't the kind of pressure one receives from a master stronger than oneself. A more fundantal instinct was reacting.
The intuition of a martial artist was telling them to kill the brat, but their instinct was telling them not to.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo groaned.
"The Big Dipper Iron Demon Qi and the Asura Blood Demon Art, I've experienced them, and they are very impressive. I wonder how different it would be if the masters used them?"
Banjeok Myeong smirked.
At that smile, Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo's chests went cold.
'He participated in the Subrged Demon Grand Competition to experience our martial arts beforehand!'
'Th-this brat is different. He's completely different from Dugu Wujung. He's not overconfident in the Immortal Demonic Aura! He's a brat who knows how to be careful even with such power!'
For a brat who knows how to be careful to show his fangs in front of them ant that his calculations were finished.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo could not attack, even though they were at a distance where they could reach if they just took one step.
It was at this ti.
There was soone approaching with rustling steps.
It was Xue Fuyong.
She stood side by side with Banjeok Myeong. And she glared at the two with a face as cold as ice.
The ones who had hard her master.
Although they were not the ones who had directly laid their hands, it was sothing that had happened because these people had given their permission.
I want to kill them.
I want to cut off their limbs and throw them into a fiery pit.
But if I did that, I wouldn't be able to protect the Heavenly Pavilion.
Although the demonic dao is ruled by the strong preying on the weak and the law of the jungle, it is not blind.
If the Big Dipper Iron Demon House or the Asura Blood Demon House were to subdue everyone with force, the demonic dao would bow its head.
But what if the Heavenly Pavilion did that?
The Big Dipper Iron Demon House and the Asura Blood Demon House would be the first to join hands and resist. Since they had already rebelled against the Immortal Divine Demon once, his authority would not work. They would fight to the end to live.
So she had to find another way to take revenge.
"You took my master away from ."
At Xue Fuyong's words, the faces of Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo hardened.
It was not surprise or urgency.
It was just a concern that the fight had beco unavoidable.
But.
"So I will take your children."
At Xue Fuyong's words, the two flinched.
Xue Fuyong, who gave a cold sneer at their appearance, turned towards Banjeok Myeong.
"Let's go."
Xue Fuyong and Banjeok Myeong left the front of Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo like that.
Tie Gundo and Sima Deokjo looked back at Tie Paigang and the others with hardened faces.
The rising stars of the demonic dao, led by Tie Paigang and Sima Long, began to follow behind Xue Fuyong and Banjeok Myeong with their heads bowed low.
The demonic dao.
The Subrged Demon Grand Competition ended in shock and silence like that.
Announcing the appearance of the new strongest of the demonic dao.
