Nature’s qi was interpreted in various forms and theories according to tradition and culture.
Early on, the Taoists expressed the qi of nature as five elents around and built theories like feng shui, yin and yang, six equilibrium, and more based on the five elents and balance.
In the Demonic Sect, nature’s qi was regarded as the four fundantal energies in the world and the representative martial arts created on that theory was the Four Peak Demonic Martial Arts.
Void Air Movent was a technique which used nature’s qi.
It could be used to move objects which are far away and can destroy them at tis. In order to move nature’s qi, it was essential to tap into the upper dantian.
This was why only warriors who had risen to a higher stage could do it—
The ones who were Supre Demon and such.
But surprisingly, Seol-Hwi used the technique without having reached that stage and was using it with specific martial arts.
So Ack Bi and Cho Ah-ran were shocked.
“It is fine…”
Seol-Hwi could not answer when asked by Cho Ah-ran about how he did it right then.
Actually, he himself was shocked at what he did. It was because the use of this Void Air Movent was actually a skill which ended up being used when he was trying to follow what she said.
“Huh…”
Cho Ah-ran did not ask Seol-Hwi any more questions, who was as puzzled as her. However, no matter how much she thought about this, him using those two martial arts just now could not be chalked up to just extre battle sense.
In order to understand this entire thing, she had to point out whether her technique and the Void Air Movent could actually be rged, but the result however was here.
Seol-Hwi did it.
It was because the Blood Qi Shot itself was shot at Ack Bi and moved with its own force. The attack was similar to those told in the swordsman’s myths.
Blood enhanced qi was not used…
Right now blood enhanced qi was lower than Blood Qi Shot.
Because of that, there was a difference in the effect of it, in which strong qi was used.
Nevertheless, it can be said that he used the Void Air Movent.
He had already displayed the skills to the point where he can be considered to be on the Supre Demon level, not just in terms of achievent in martial arts but understanding.
“Ahem.”
anwhile, Ack Bi was trying to get up. He staggered for a mont after getting used to the shock and then got up.
Actually, it was impossible to damage him as he had used a defensive technique.
“…Amazing.”
Ack Bi ca ca to his senses and evaluated the attack Seol-Hwi used.
In his heart, he felt shocked. When he tried to defend against Seol-Hwi’s attack, the air around had swayed a lot, and the Blood Qi Shot changed directions and moved up.
Flustered, he had moved his body back which resulted in greater damage than before.
“As promised I’ll give you one wish. And…”
He spoke with his shoulders stiff.
“If you manage to make step back another ti, I will present to you all my internal qi.”
Internal Qi transfer?
The blow just now must have hurt his pride, but he was still smiling. As a teacher, he must be happy that his disciple had grown so much.
In addition, it was because he judged that if he understood the esoteric martial arts such as Blood Demon Arts, his understanding of other things had risen higher.
“Then, I will do it again.”
Wooong
Seol-Hwi prepared for the second attack, holding his sword as if it was resonating with him.
Cho Ah-ran watched Seol-Hwi carefully and also looked at Ack Bi on the other side. Ack Bi was not in a defensive stance like before. Rather, it seed like he wanted to accept the attack head on.
This…
Seeing him like that made Seol-Hwi tremble.
A faint airflow could be noticed.
The flow of the air was slowing down around Ack Bi. What that ant was clear.
‘It seems like sothing similar to the ti bond is happening.’
Although the operation process was different from the White Light Body Demonic Martial Arts, this was also a martial art based on yin qi.
It was one of the absolute powers when it ca to adjusting ti.
And Ack Bi was using it.
He never noticed it before, but with the upper dantian opened up for Seol-Hwi, he could clearly feel and see it now.
Then, should I try it too?
When Seol-Hwi infused qi into the tip of his sword, blood qi ca out.
And it noticeably decreased in size to beco more condensed.
As soon as the bloody aura faded, the sword of Seol-Hwi began to tremble.
The preparation for the technique was done.
Now!
Swish!
As soon as the tip of the sword was aid at Ack Bi, it shot out a shot of qi.
The blast was as swift as lightning. The difference was that the blood qi shot now did not fly in a straight line, but was moving around like a spiral.
And it exploded like ordered when it got close to Ack Bi.
Shhh
However, Ack Bi was not there at its destination. He was about three or four steps away when he appeared.
…!
Seol-Hwi was shocked.
This was his intention. Apparently, Ack Bi had seen through the attack and dodged it. And his movent had gone past the restraints of ti and space.
“It is one of the forms of the Blood Demon Hand, right? Exploding it right in front of the enemy and making it physically impossible to block.”
Ack Bi spoke confidently, but Seol-Hwi was seeing a completely different situation.
It is like I am in the position of Heavenly Demon’s in the past…
The past life’s final battle, at that ti, he had used the ti bond.
And the Heavenly Demon easily broke it. The ti manipulation which was a huge advantage to Seol-Hwi was just an object to break for Heavenly Demon.
If only I could overco the bond… I wouldn’t be as helpless as I was back then.
For a long ti, Seol-Hwi needed two things he had to overco. The first was an opponent who could slow ti.
The second was to bind the flow of ti more strongly than the opponent could beak. But these two were impossible in his current state.
There—
There is no way to destroy the Blood Demon Hand martial arts.
Seol-Hwi put his sword down.
At that Cho Ah-ran looked curiously at him, and Ack Bi looked the sa.
“I lost.”
“…?”
“I don’t see any openings.”
At that, Ack Bi nodded. After that he spoke with a subtle expression.
“…You did well.”
The words did not seem to matter much, but Ack Bi was actually impressed internally.
Was it noticed?
Was it noticed that he had slowed down ti? Was that why he gave up so ekly before the fight started?
“Then it is my turn now.”
Cho Ah-ran walked to where Ack Bi was standing.
“Be prepared.”
“Prepared for what?”
Cho Ah-ran said unbothered.
To be honest, she was surprised by how the use of the Blood Demon Hand was changed and used combined with Void Air Movent.
But that was all.
Such eccentricity would be hard to co by again. Even if it did happen, she had no intention about acting like Ack Bi.
“Third ti. Any kind of attack can be done.”
Cho Ah-ran’s eyes were sunken as she stood in that spot. She was more at ease than Ack Bi, and also had a light hint of alertness.
In the midst of this, Seol-Hwi rembered the thod of internal qi to be used for ice arts and not the Blood Demon Hand.
If you control the flow of ti… it will definitely work.
If the power of the Blood Demon Hand lied in speed and accuracy, then ice arts were about restraining and controlling ti.
The beginning of this ca from the internal qi cultivation. In the past he never cared about this, and all the thods he learned were taken for granted.
In this life, it was clearly imprinted in Seol-Hwi’s mind.
“Hurry up now.”
At Cho Ah-ran’s urging, Seol-Hwi made his qi circulate.
Then, he pushed the energy into his body through his feet and palms. And pure white qi continued to flow from his arms and hands.
Swish
And as soon as he practiced the internal qi cultivation, a change occurred. The air flowing in front of his eyes had slowed down.
And at so point, everything around turned silent.
This is the first stage.
The control of ti possessed by the Ice Moon Divine Arts had three stages.
The first thing was that the surroundings would get silent like now. At that ti, Seol-Hwi did not bother waiting and fired the ice arts at the opponent.
Chung
The pure white ball of ice flew in a straight line. And as expected, Cho Ah-ran cut that off at once.
Kwakwakwak!
The ice ball which had been cut hit the wall and shattered.
“Huh.”
Cho Ah-ran looked at it like it was not special.
But the smile on the lips of hers was still there. It was because she knew that the skill used just now was just a warm up.
Now the first step.
The sound of tal could be heard through the silence. And the scene where the surrounding flow ca out one after another like illusions ca.
Seeing this, Seol-Hwi realized that the flow of ti had slowed down several tis more than he thought.
So, this ti, he showed the act of lowering his sword, and at one point, this ti, he raised his sword in swift motion and shot it.
…Huk!
There was a slight look of shock in Cho Ah-ran’s eyes. She almost missed the movent of the ice ball shot.
This was because it was used at a speed where her eyes could barely see it. It was a lot different from the one before.
Chaang!
But as expected, Cho Ah-ran was a warrior on the Supre Demon level.
Despite the late response, the ice ball fired had been cut.
Kwakk!
And it shattered into pieces as it hit the wall behind.
This… third one.
When his internal qi began to circulate again, everything was slowing down, and even the body of Seol-Hwi began to slow down.
“Haaa-hmm!”
The ice ball which was shot in that state unlike before was close to transparent now.
“…!
Cho Ah-ran reacted to such a perfect ti bond.
Was it because there was not even ti to swing the sword?
Tuk
As soon as he let the attack go, she used the Blood Demon Hand at her fingertips.
However, instead of cutting the ice ball like before, it completely stopped. And as the ice broke this ti into hundreds of crystals.
The ice ball shot Seol-Hwi used was one which had multiple individual ice ball shots in it.
“Kual!”
Cho Ah-ran suddenly was hit by the ice crystals, and she perford footwork to where she had to move back, but that did not prevent the damage she took.
“To use the Blood Demon Hand like this…”
Even Cho Ah-ran knew about the martial arts Seol-Hwi was using. But what Seol-Hwi used was not the usual ice arts.
Seol-Hwi knew that she was aware of this martial art.
“Do you think it is a draw? Hahaha.”
Seeing that, Ack Bi laughed.
He did not think that she would take damage like this.
Really, his battle sense was as good as a veteran’s.
“Disciple. Aren’t you already at the level of reaching Supre Demon?”
Ignoring Ack Bi, who was laughing, Cho Ah-ran asked Seol-Hwi that in a serious tone.
Seol-Hwi answered feeling that this was not how she usually was due to how she addressed him as “Disciple” and not brat.
“…Right.”
“Then why? Why didn’t you step into the Supre Demon realm?”
“Because I haven’t fully understood what nature qi ans. And what it ans to embrace it.”
“What do you an?”
“I feel like I have been lacking a lot when it cos to understanding that. As a result, I could feel that my body was lacking.”
“You…”
At those words, Cho Ah-ran said with a surprised expression,
“You want to go to a higher realm.”
She knew what it ant for Seol-Hwi to say that. Normal warriors would be content with the Supre Demon level.
But there was sothing to regret when one hit the wall. They would regret the ti when they did not lay a solid foundation.
However, even if they realized that later on, it would still be a situation that could not be undone.
“Right. Great attitude. Normal ones overlook it.”
“…”
“Training is done. And from now…”
She smiled as she said,
“Let’s do a class we couldn’t, disciple.”
Cho Ah-ran smiled while pretending to act like a normal girl, and for the first ti, Seol-Hwi felt that she was pretty.
