Boom!
YuWon's body was thrown backward and flew through the air.
The sa happened to Li Jing, who murmured in confusion.
"There's no way the system is lying to ... then it ans you're not really a Ranker..."
Li Jing smiled satisfied and looked at YuWon.
"I see."
Kwak-.
Power flowed into his hand through the tip of the lance.
"You must be the player, Kim YuWon."
Although he had been inactive, it seed he was not completely indifferent to the events of the world.
At this mont, YuWon's na was well-known to most Ranker players. From being known as the strongest player in the lower levels, YuWon had now reached a considerably high level.
What would it be like if he beca a Ranker?
There were already many Rankers curious about it, and there were also Rankers who anticipated or feared the next Great Sage, Heaven's Equal.
However.
"I must have been mistaken, I thought you were a promising player, but you have already blood and borne fruit..."
In Li Jing's eyes, the alter egos of Son OhGong, including YuWon, were reflected.
"From now on, I will consider you an enemy of the Celestial Realm like the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal."
Bam!
The Bull Demon King's body was sent flying backward after being struck by the Unbreakable Sword.
Wobbling on the ground, the Bull Demon King touched his chest wound.
There was blood on it.
It was a deep wound, not fatal, but not small either.
"You've grown a lot since then."
"You're welco."
Lee Rangjin stood up, swaying.
It wasn't just the Bull Demon King who was sent flying.
He had also been sent flying by the Bull Demon King's fist, crashing into the wall of the Five Elents Mountain.
"My shoulder got dislocated."
Thud-.
Lee Rangjin forcefully put his dislocated shoulder back in place.
Sweat broke out on his forehead from the pain, but the fact that he had left a scar on the Bull Demon King in front of him was quite significant.
"He still has a strong body."
This was his third fight with the Bull Demon King.
He had fought fierce battles with Son OhGong countless tis, but unlike Son OhGong, who grew rapidly, the Bull Demon King was a monster from the mont Lee Rangjin entered the Celestial Realm.
Although OhGong was now better ranked, it was clear that the Bull Demon King was also a talented person not lacking much.
"It's hard to do it alone."
That's why the Celestial Realm had sent two people to capture the Bull Demon King. Lee Rangjin and Li Jing.
But right now, Li Jing was held up elsewhere.
"Just a little more..."
Boom-.
Lee Rangjin's Unbreakable Sword danced lightly.
"I'll go strong."
Teng-!
The form of a dragon erged from the tip of the sword.
Instead of dodging it, the Bull Demon King raised his arm to block it.
Pak-!
A wound appeared on the arm that blocked the Unbreakable Sword.
His body, which had been strengthened by concentrating Arcane Power, was no longer able to block Lee Rangjin's Unbreakable Sword.
Pit, pit, pit, pit, pit.
Cha-cha-cha-cha-cha!
In an instant, the wounds on the Bull Demon King's body multiplied.
"Changing the way of fighting... is not a bad idea."
A mont ago, Lee Rangjin had used the weight of the Unbreakable Sword to unleash a devastating spear attack. (Note: Although the weapon is called Unbreakable Sword, it seems to be a spear)
Indeed, each strike of his Unbreakable Sword had the power to split mountains.
But now, it was different.
It was faster, sharper.
The spear's tip wouldn't leave a mortal wound on the Bull Demon King, but it would create a series of small cuts.
Furthermore...
Hua Yak-.
Jijik-.
The extended hand of the Bull Demon King tore through Lee Rangjin's cloak.
Lee Rangjin narrowly escaped his grasp.
At that mont, a flash of Lee Rangjin's Unbreakable Sword shone before the eyes of the Bull Demon King.
Kwat-!
A rather sharp spear tip.
It was fast and intense. It seed as if a storm was unleashed around it.
No...
In reality, it was.
The Bull Demon King looked towards the storm raging around him.
"Hmm..."
The storm was intensifying rapidly.
As he watched, the corner of his mouth lifted.
"You must be in a hurry."
Goo-goo, goo-goo-.
The Bull Demon King's hands filled with Mana.
"Such nimble movent."
At the sa ti, his fist stretched forward.
Pow!
The power of his fist pierced through the swirling storm.
Lee Rangjin's figure was revealed, and the rapidly moving spear tip trembled.
Clang.
The Bull Demon King's hand finally grasped Lee Rangjin's throat.
His body rose in the air, moving as lightly as a piece of paper.
Kwaaaaaaang-!
Goo-.
The ground shook with an earthquake-like impact.
Lee Rangjin's eyes turned white. For a brief mont, he felt his consciousness fading away.
Thud-.
He gritted his teeth.
As he fell to the ground, he clung to his fading consciousness and wrapped his Mana around the Unbreakable Sword.
Kwaaat-!
Kwak-!
A fairly deep wound appeared on the Bull Demon King's chest.
The distance between them widened. On the crumbling ground below, Lee Rangjin stood on his trembling legs without falling.
"I guess the title 'Demon King of Great Power' was not earned for nothing."
"Your spear has beco very sharp."
The Bull Demon King looked at the cross-shaped wound on his chest.
Lee Rangjin's strength had definitely increased since before.
His ntal strength was still there, and his rank was much higher than it had been thousands of years ago when he fought the Monkey King.
He was no longer distracted.
It didn't seem like it would be easy to pierce through the Warrior Lee Rangjin standing before him.
'Mmm'.
Furthermore, the Bull Demon King managed to understand the aning behind Lee Rangjin's behavior.
Why didn't he call Li Jing here?
Why was he alone facing him?
His intentions were clear.
"No matter what, we will win this fight."
Chuck-.
Lee Rangjin couldn't deny those words and raised his Unbreakable Sword once again.
He waited for his mont to confront the Bull Demon King.
It was not an easy task, but he was more than capable of carrying it out.
"You called for reinforcents."
"Because there is not just one, but several alter egos."
Lee Rangjin nodded.
"It's an obvious choice."
Lee Rangjin had requested reinforcents before this battle had even begun.
He didn't trust his own abilities too much.
Whether his opponent was the Bull Demon King or one of his many alter egos, he couldn't guarantee victory with his current strength.
"No matter how tough you are, you won't easily escape from here either."
Therefore, instead of taking credit for himself, Lee Rangjin asked for more troops from the Celestial Realm.
And now...
Those troops were coming here.
"I have no intention of leaving either."
Boom.
The Bull Demon King walked toward Lee Rangjin.
"I intend to capture you here."
"..what?"
Lee Rangjin's eyes widened.
To capture him...
His purpose must be to rescue OhGong, and for that, the Bull Demon King had no choice but to go to OhGong, who was trapped inside the Five Elents Mountain.
Only a capable shaman/wizard like the Bull Demon King could break the spell and rescue him from his confinent in the Five Elents Mountain.
Naturally, then, one cannot help but think that he was running out of ti to accomplish his goal.
And Lee Rangjin precisely aid at that.
But why...
'No way.'
A thought passed through his mind.
Then, he threw his head back. He could see the Five Elents Mountain, and beyond that, he could feel the personifications of Son OhGong's alter egos.
His doubt quickly turned into certainty.
The corner of the Bull Demon King's mouth twitched at the idea.
"There are many ways to break a spell. You can destroy it while you are present, or you can use an item that has an effect that can destroy powerful spells..."
The Bull Demon King was the best in the Tower when it ca to sorcery.
As such, breaking the spell of the Five Elents Mountain was not a difficult task for him.
And it didn't necessarily have to be through his own actions.
"While we're at it, perhaps the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal is already being released."
Jiik-.
Lee Rangjin turned around.
No, he was about to turn around.
"I have no intention of letting you go."
Jiik-.
Before he knew it, the Bull Demon King was standing in front of him.
A cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He thought it was the other way around.
But it was he who was caught, rather.
"Don't think about escaping."
The corner of the Bull Demon King's mouth lifted.
"Lee Rangjin is a cautious man."
The previous night.
YuWon had summoned Son OhGong and his alter egos for a eting to plan the rescue of the main body.
"He is a man in the position of a Grand General of War, and he desires the safety and peace of the Heavens more than he desires to make a na for himself."
"Do you know Lee Rangjin-gun?"
"Older Brother, this guy only..."
YuWon carelessly closed the mouth of the alter ego that opened it.
The Bull Demon King showed a puzzled expression. YuWon, who had blocked the mouth of that Son OhGong, opened it again.
"No matter how many troops from the Celestial Realm are gathered, as soon as they realize that there is not a single alter ego, they will imdiately request reinforcents."
"That sounds like a possibility."
"Given his cautious nature, it is difficult to expect Lee Rangjin to stick to his initial plan now that there is a change of scenario."
Jiik-.
YuWon drew a round circle on the ground.
It was the Five Elents Mountain.
"The alter ego will enter through here. But Lee Rangjin-gun will probably try to stop the Bull Demon King."
"He will think that if I enter the Five Elents Mountain, the younger one will be released."
"Yes."
"Should I then enter from the other side?"
"No."
Jiik-.
YuWon drew a line a short distance from the Five Elents Mountain.
"The Bull Demon King must not cross this line."
"Why?"
"Our first priority is to get Lee Rangjin out of the Five Elents Mountain, and perhaps when the Bull Demon King makes his appearance, Lee Rangjin will follow suit."
YuWon, who had been drawing on the ground with a wooden stick, looked at the Bull Demon King.
"The only thing that can stop you, I'm afraid, is Lee Rangjin-gun."
"And I am the only one among us who can face Lee Rangjin, the man we will drag there."
"That's right."
YuWon's gaze shifted to the first of OhGong's alter egos, the one who had fought him so many tis.
"Keep that in mind. Our first goal is to rescue the main body. If that doesn't work, there is no second or third."
He was a little worried.
But.
As YuWon said, it wasn't so easy to get past Lee Rangjin and save Son OhGong.
In the end, they would succeed, but ti was of the essence.
If reinforcents from the Celestial Realm arrived before they could get past Lee Rangjin, they would be in trouble.
"He used his brain quite well."
He used himself to lure Lee Rangjin and rescue Son OhGong in the anti.
It was the most likely plan, as far as the Bull Demon King was concerned.
And so, the Bull Demon King managed to capture Lee Rangjin.
The first prerequisite for the first goal has been fulfilled.
The second task was out of their hands.
"Now all I have to do is endure and wait for you..."
Woong-.
The flow and vibration of Arcane Power ca from the other side of the Five Elents Mountain.
On the other side, YuWon and Li Jing were fighting.
"Kim YuWon."
