The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

13 – The Netherworld (2)

In the blink of an eye, the distance separating them was covered again. The reddish glow of its approach was worthy of the name demon.

However, against such a demon, the old man did not avoid a confrontation. Soon, sword clashed with sword in front of them, pitting their strength against each other.

The old man showed no sign of fear, and the demon laughed at him. “I thought you said a puppy wasn’t afraid of anything. That’s exactly what you are.

No more mercy now. I’ll kill you right here, right now. The demonic swords that had been clashing and spilling embers moved in an instant.

太極劍 蔘劍流 還月夜

Like moonlight in the night sky, the demonic swords flowed calmly. The sword of the Three Streams, which had been held up by the strength of the previous sword, twisted in the wrong direction.

At the same time, after completing a full circle, her blow was aimed at Sam Ryu without a second thought. But the old man quickly recovered his sword and blocked the demon’s blade.

Seeing this, the demon frowned. After all, the shaman’s sword style was no match for his own. Having blocked the attack, Samurai soon gained the momentum.

Boom! Boom! A shock like a thunderbolt struck through the sword. The demon was purely amazed.

“Indeed! You have faith in me?!”

But the answer came in the form of the tip of the blade, a simple strike. There was no finesse to it. It was just a swing with all the force it could muster.

But for some reason, the demon found it hard to take the blow. At this rate, it would continue to be consumed.

At that thought, the demon fell backwards. But soon, the demon’s face was colored with shame. I’ve fallen backwards? Against a mere third-rate? Shame quickly turned to anger.

A sword with an unstoppable path swung out of thin air. Kwajik! Kwaaahhhhh!

It was an arrogant application of the wall diagram that only she could execute.

Indeed, it was a blow that no one had ever stopped before. But even in the face of such a formidable opponent. He never backed down. Shovel! An eerie sound like something being cut resounded. At the same time, the demon’s eyes widened to the size of fire glasses. Clearly, it had two eyes.

That made it even more unbelievable. Until now, only a thousand horses or equivalent beings had been able to take it on head-on.

And yet, a mere third-rate demon, whose name was not even known, had received it! The demon was baffled by the absurdity of the situation. It could only be bewildered.

“What kind of trick did you pull!!!”

It was a good thing, a very good thing. I could understand if the food I received was just that, food. However, what Samurai used was not a great superfood.

It was simply a straightforward swing of the sword. There was no explanation, no form, no method to it. It was literally a foundation among foundations.

Honestly, I couldn’t tell the difference between it and my previous swings, but it was just that. The demon’s vaunted herbivory was shattered in an instant.

However, Sam Ryu still didn’t open his mouth. He merely took a stance. With eyes as heavy as an ice cap, the demon let out a roar.

If you don’t answer me, I don’t care. I will tear your mouth open with this hand and force it to open. The demon desperately denied it.

泰山十八盤劍 四盤劍 山沙汰

泰山十八盤劍 四盤劍 山沙汰

A storm of sword strikes that could bring down a mountain. It was the pinnacle of strong swordsmanship, a demonstration of Huang Bo’s powerful musculature.

However, even a herbivore’s diet is not the height of strength. There was not even a scratch on the sword Sam Ryu was holding. Upon closer inspection, the sword contained sword qi.

But it was far too weak to be called sword qi.

Quang! The sword attacks that continued in all directions like a storm finally stopped. However, it wasn’t because the demon wanted it to. It was due to an outside force.

The demon’s sword was knocked back into the air by the unflinching, three-edged sword of the Third Grade. It couldn’t be. It couldn’t be me, not anyone else!

Yes, so far I have not been at full strength. Surely I will. If I go all out. I can easily get rid of that third-rate crap.

With that thought, the demon closed his eyes. Though she was a scourge of the worst kind, her skills were undoubtedly a real talent.

無我之境

無我之境

And it is the strongest, best, and worst aura the demon has ever reached. Usually a corresponding enlightenment is required to fulfill a type or expression.

Only then can the mysteries and inner workings be realized in the martial arts. Demons don’t need to do that, though, because they know everything.

Everything around you has become invisible. The only things that existed in that world were demons and opponents.

Instead of sitting on the beast. The blade of Kun Lun Fei’s sword, which contained the description of the beast sitting on the ground, was like a dragon’s gullet, moving toward the three streams in an instant.

But it was blocked.

無我之境 泰山十八盤劍 七盤劍 萬人敵

無我之境 泰山十八盤劍 七盤劍 萬人敵

A heavy sword capable of defeating ten thousand people spun. The greatsword, which was more likely to break than slice everything it touched, once again faced the three streams.

But it was blocked.

無我之境 蒼穹無涯劍法 十初式 蒼穹四龍劍 昇天

Using internal force, the spear sword moved like an enveloping force from above, below, left, right, and all directions. The inescapable aura of the Spearless Sword Technique overwhelmed the three rivers.

But it was blocked.

It was blocked. Blocked. It was blocked. It was blocked. It was blocked. Stuck. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Clogged. Blocked.

A crack opened in the world that enveloped the demon, and no amount of herbivory could pierce the three currents before him. He stood his ground like a mountain.

In the end, the demon was forced to admit it. The sword was no match for him. A sword, that is. The demon threw the sword as hard as it could.

Once again, Samryu swung his sword and deflected it. Then he took aim. The demon lunged at him like a wolf, striking with a swift jutsu.

霹靂神掌

壁力力力

Filled with terrible strength and power, the jutsu snatched the sword away from Samurai in an instant. The demon gritted its teeth at the sight, and soon opened its mouth. “I admit it. I can’t defeat you with a sword.”

“…….”

“But what about hand-to-hand combat?”

She was no fool. Though she favored breaking him from the front, she had no intention of sticking with that, even in her deepening defeat.

For now, victory came first. And in the demon’s memory, there was only one technique that Sam Ryu had ever mastered: the three-headed sword. Yes, the three-headed sword is strictly a sword technique.

Then it was clear that he would be relatively weak in hand-to-hand combat. The demon took advantage of that, but the attack that followed forced it to reconsider.

In a blink of an eye, a fist struck her in the face with such speed that it was almost painful to watch. Bleeding from the mouth, the demon somehow managed to keep her wits about her.

“Not yet! Not yet!”

The battle just now made it clear. I can’t dodge. Even though it’s just a punch.

Once you’re on the defensive, it’s impossible to go on the offensive, which means you have to somehow withstand your opponent’s attack. The only way you can do that is if you land a good hit.

Don’t back down. If she backed down, she would lose. And for her, defeat was death. A deadly melee with no dodging or defense.

But he showed no sign of backing down. The ground cracked and the sky above began to shake violently as fists were thrown at each other.

Honest fists were thrown.

My vision shook. But I can hold on.

I struck back. A katana struck him in the stomach.

It was impenetrable, like steel.

Another swinging fist.

My shoulder is broken. It wouldn’t move anymore.

I grabbed his arm and stamped it with my knee.

But it wasn’t broken. It was intact.

Another punch was thrown.

It hurt. Unable to strike back. I was pushed back.

A slap. Stung. Blood spilled.

Bones were broken. Flesh was torn.

Broken teeth flew through the air.

Hit. Hit. Hit.

The seemingly endless battle was finally over. The demon was already unable to contain itself.

And in the process, the demon realized something. However, it quickly turned to anger. Her red eyes were soon colored with hatred.

“Why aren’t you using the herb?!”

“…….”

“Are you still ignoring me?!! Did I look so insignificant!”

If he had already used Salcho. The demon had died long ago. Time and time again. The opportunity had already been given to him.

But he didn’t take her life, and that was a great humiliation for her.

I don’t mind dying, the demon thought desperately, as she bled. I’ve done it many times before, and I’ve been prepared for it since time immemorial. But losing is worse than dying.

“What, you still think you can save me?”

“…….”

“Funny, really funny! Did you really think that was possible!”

I couldn’t help but laugh. Who is she? She’s called the Heavenly Demon, and she’s killed countless martial artists, and now she’s saving herself?

Do you think that’s possible? No, it’s impossible. Rather, the world will point fingers. You’ve ruined the cause by allowing yourself to be swept up in personal affairs.

Someone will say you’re frustrating. Even if you were once a disciple, you’ve fallen so far.

“That is not a noble path. It’s a path of selfish lust, and it’s a path of damnation that no one will ever remember!”

“…….”

“Do you intend to walk that path? No. Then kill him! A master is responsible for the sins of his pupil, and it’s only right that he should be killed!”

“Demons are not just demons. It has killed countless people, and its sins can never be covered up.

Of course, no one would agree with that idea. Those who lost family members to demons would curse them, and kill them as if they were their own kind.

The demon thought. That fool is trying to save himself. Well, let’s reverse that.

Then, in the end, he would win, wouldn’t he? He thought. Desperately, I thought so, denying the feeling over and over again.

“Surely, the path must be one of abject shame and contempt.”

“Yes! So kill me quickly! With your own hands!”

“But.”

The short word was like thunder. The single word left me speechless. More precisely, I was speechless at the look on his face, the lack of hesitation.

Come to think of it, it’s been that way since the beginning. He never wavered in the face of anything. He just kept going, straight and forward. No need for the world.

He’s willing to take any kind of abuse, any kind of curse. It didn’t matter if others cursed him for his frustration; he had chosen that path from the beginning.

Nevertheless, he was nonchalant. As if there was a village in front of him, as if he was going to drink, as if he was going for a walk in the back mountains. The old man calmly said to his disciple.

“I have chosen to walk that path.”

For the first time in her life, she faced it, unbroken, upright, moving forward, finally taking her bloody hand in his.

“Do I need another reason?”

Was it Jung as a teacher, or Jung as a parent? She could not tell, but it was not righteousness, though it was more righteous than that pine tree.
