Chapter 116. A Burning Flame
“Humans are very weak things.”
The creator of the Shura Environment.
The Heavenly Demon, Hong Sunwon, put a cigarette in his mouth and spoke loudly.
“The weakness of the human body? This is another matter altogether. Mentally, humans are very weak things.”
Cho Ryu Hyang listened quietly.
The usage of the Shura Environment was already in his head.
If he was right, this man would teach Cho Ryu Hyang something entirely new entirely.
“Gongson Chun Gi, was it?”
Hong Sunwon rubbed his chin as he smiled.
“He should know. After all, it’s something that you only get to see once you become that strong.”
A red eye appeared above Hong Sunwon’s head.
‘That is…’
He had seen it in the past.
It was the same thing that Gongson Chun Gi had used.
When Cho Ryu Hyang stared at the eye dumbly, Hong Sunwon opened his mouth.
“So you can see it. Did you want to know the true form of the Shura Environment? This is it.”
The superhuman area.
The ability to make an area around oneself completely his.
It was an ability to absorb all information of a surrounding completely into one’s head.
The ultimate form of using one’s senses.
“I don’t like to admit it, but the ability that Gongson Chun Gi uses is probably similar to this one. Since he’s quite talented as well, he probably figured this out on his own. But he’s way too crude in his ways. And since his ability has a bunch of random things mixed into it, it’s not pure either. That man is just disappointing in every way.”
The Heavenly Demon continuously insulted Gongson Chun Gi.
At the same time, the red eye above his head slowly descended downwards.
“The Shura Environment is powerful, but it is only completed once its user opens up the superhuman area. Once this is completed, the user becomes something akin to a god.”
Cho Ryu Hyang nodded.
There’s nothing scarier than someone being in total control of an area around oneself.
“Since your body is weak, you’d only be able to imitate it, but… there’s no going around it. You’ll have to get more and more experienced as time passes.”
What Cho Ryu Hyang learned from the Heavenly Demon would save his life in the near future.

Hwaryeong, the assassin.
Once she felt her vision go dark, she gave up on everything.
She realized that she had failed.
Her mission was compromised, and now that she was caught, she’d have to kill herself.
After all, it was entirely possible that she could be tortured for information.
‘That can’t happen.’
As she tried to bite down on the poison pill in her mouth,
She suddenly realized that her body could not move.
Not even a hair on her body could move.
She couldn’t even close her eyes.
All of the sudden, a white hand appeared amongst the darkness.
And for some reason, the white hand was the only thing she could see clearly.
The hand searched the area carefully, then grabbed onto her clothes.
She was dragged outside and was rendered immobile immediately.
“You mustn’t kill her, young lord.”
“I know.”
Hwaryeong despaired after seeing the young boy in front of her.
Her target had neutralized her himself.
“We’ll interrogate her later.”
Cho Ryu Hyang left Hwaryeong to Lim Hak Gyum and stood back up.
Kang Sebin and No Jin Nyung.
The two’s fight was reaching a climax.
Kugagaga-!
The two closed in and immediately moved back out after each attack.

The two’s speed were increasing as more time passed as well.
‘If I get pressured here, I die.’
Both of them were thinking the same thing.
Tukakaka-!
Cho Ryu Hyang watched the two fight, then turned back.
‘It’s beginning.’
The formation was beginning to beat rhythmically.
The formation, which had been working slowly like a newborn baby, was suddenly picking up its pace.
The final form of the formation.
The form that was made only to kill.
‘Heaven-killing fire.’
As Cho Ryu Hyang thought of the word in his head,
The dark aura that came from No Jin Nyung’s body darkened further.
At the same time, black lightning bunched up in his fists.
‘This is it.’
Things were finally escalating.
Kang Sebin’s face turned serious as well.
Krr-
A red light spilled out of his sword and began to vibrate.
This would decide the result of the battle.
The moment a red gang qi appeared from Kang Sebin’s sword, No Jin Nyung made his move.
He was moving straight forward.
Regardless of what the enemy was doing, No Jin Nyung was charging straight in. Cho Ryu Hyang knew this move well.
‘The Steps of The Heavenly Demon.’
Cho Ryu Hyang could immediately tell why No Jin Nyung’s Heavenly Demon Technique was incomplete from the man’s footwork.
Kang Sebin grinned as he looked at No Jin Nyung’s aura and stabbed.
No Jin Nyung did not dodge.
Instead, he began to move even faster.
Kang Sebin’s eyes narrowed.
Stab-
Kang Sebin’s sword struck No Jin Nyung’s hip.
It was undoubtedly a critical wound.
But No Jin Nyung didn’t slow at all.
‘This man…’
No Jin Nyung wasn’t planning on dodging from the start.
