Radiant Dragon’s Otherworldly Reincarnation - Chapter 358 : Chapter 358
Chapter 358. You’re All Dead (1)
The Heavenly Demon’s body stiffened.
Since the absurdity exceeded the limit, it took time for his thoughts to grasp reality.
That was the first opening the Heavenly Demon revealed.
There was no way Patrick would miss that gap.
Without delay, Patrick’s foot went up.
Baaaaaam!
Patrick’s front kick extended rapidly.
It was a perfect surprise attack, but the Heavenly Demon was indeed the Heavenly Demon.
He instantly raised his right knee to block Patrick’s attack.
But there was something he hadn’t thought of….
Rip!
Patrick was still biting his finger.
In that state, as a result of blocking Patrick’s kick instead of dodging, he lost his index and middle fingers of his right hand.
***
“L… Lord?”
“No w… Th… This….”
The elders of the Demonic Cult, who were watching the scene from afar, dropped their jaws.
They couldn’t imagine it.
They had never dreamed that there would be a human who could inflict damage on the precious body of that person, who was their lord, the god of martial arts, and practically the sky of all Demonic Practitioners.
April’s voice reached their ears.
“I knew it.”
Regardless of enemy or ally, she was the only one here not surprised.
A trial born with the fate of the world’s destruction?
The god of all Demonic Practitioners?
They call him quite grandly, but….
So what?
‘The Young Master can’t lose.’
She had faith that if it was the Patrick she knew, he wouldn’t lose as long as he fought, even if it was a god.
***
“Ptoo!”
Patrick spat out the Heavenly Demon’s fingers that were in his mouth onto the ground.
And to the still bewildered Heavenly Demon, he said with a fierce gaze.
“You bastard? It’s very fun, right? Just exciting, huh?”
“…You….”
“A novice bastard who has never even been in a real fight in his life dares to try to toy with me arrogantly?”
“You bastard….”
Patrick aimed the tip of his sword at the Heavenly Demon.
And said….
“From now on, it’s a dogfight.”
And Patrick rushed at the Heavenly Demon again.
Kwang! Kwang! Kwang-kwang!
“W… What is this?”
The Heavenly Demon was flustered.
Patrick’s attacks became much rougher.
Although the characteristic of his martial arts was originally domineering, placing much weight on speed and strength, this was crossing the line.
Patrick’s attack, completely abandoning the principles of martial arts and rushing in ruthlessly, was….
“A brawl?”
It could only be defined that way.
No matter how rough an attack is, for one who has trained in martial arts, discipline and principles exist within that roughness.
But now, that was completely gone from Patrick’s sword.
“Hey….”
The Heavenly Demon revealed his displeasure at Patrick’s incoherent swordplay.
“What are you doing now?”
He hadn’t put in effort for such a long time to deal with such absurd swordplay.
Killing intent surged from the Heavenly Demon’s body for the first time.
“Do you want to die?”
It was the sincere killing intent of none other than the Heavenly Demon.
It was intense enough to make even the others watching from outside the formation feel their legs give way and collapse to the ground.
But….
“You must be kidding.”
Patrick did not agree at all.
Whether bitten to death by a tiger or bitten to death by a dog?
Dying is dying all the same.
To him now, who had decided to ignore the boundary between life and death, killing intent was meaningless.
‘In a real fight, the one who gets scared loses.’
Patrick took a big step forward and dug in.
It was a distance where his head would explode if the Heavenly Demon’s right hand just extended forward.
But….
Flinch.
Patrick saw.
That the Heavenly Demon’s body caused dissonance for an instant.
The moment he discovered his opening, he reflexively tried to attack, but it was a momentary gap created to stop himself.
Although it was a gap of a short moment that couldn’t even be called an instant….
“Die!”
It was enough for Patrick to seize the initiative.
Patrick’s twin swords swung messily.
The Heavenly Demon momentarily retreated while blocking the attack.
Normally, it was an attack he could block leisurely, but not now.
Because he was suppressed the moment he showed a gap, he had no choice but to retreat.
‘First, correct the posture….’
It was then.
Patrick once again dug in deeply and crossed the twin swords in both hands like scissors, aiming for his share.
Did he think such an obvious attack would hit?
Seeing Patrick suddenly attempting a big attack without carefully utilizing the golden opportunity, the Heavenly Demon frowned and spread both hands to respond.
“Wake up and straight… Kugh!”
Thwack!
At this moment.
Patrick’s effective hit exploded for the first time in this duel.
The attack that struck squarely on the face of the Heavenly Demon, who was spreading his arms, was Patrick’s headbutt.
“Kugh….”
Pooooooong!
The Heavenly Demon emitted a huge palm force and retreated greatly.
Patrick was also pushed back greatly by that attack and tumbled, but he got up quickly.
And Patrick, who got up, twisted the corner of his mouth up and said.
“Serves you right.”
In a sense, it is a tremendous achievement.
Something even the fighting immortals of the Celestial Realm couldn’t do.
Making the Heavenly Demon’s nose bleed from both nostrils was that great of a thing.
To such a Heavenly Demon, Patrick sneered and said.
“Shall I tell you why you get beaten?”
“That mouth….”
“You get beaten because you let your guard down and act leisurely in a real fight. You retaaaaaaaard….”
Kwaaaang!
“I told you to shut up!”
The Heavenly Demon emitted a powerful palm force.
Patrick quickly dodged, but….
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop!
Purple palm forces poured down like rain from the sky.
Each one had powerful destructive power comparable to a Dragon Breath.
At that terrifying sight, Patrick raised the corner of his mouth and thought.
‘Now he seems a bit pissed off.’
***
When the Heavenly Demon had his fingers bitten off and got a double nosebleed on his face.
The ones most surprised to see this sight were the elders of the Demonic Cult.
“Uh… Uh uh… Uh-buh-buh….”
Poisonous Heart Ghost Demon.
Among the elders of the Demonic Cult, he, who had the strongest loyalty to the Heavenly Demon, found it hard to even recognize the scene in front of him as reality.
Does this make sense?
It is a situation he has never even imagined.
No, more than that….
“How on earth?”
The murmur of the Yin Wind Godly Demon from the side represented the feelings of the other Demonic Cult elders at the same time.
In fact, they didn’t understand.
Patrick Schneider.
Yes.
They could admit he was strong.
In the first place, if he had just mediocre skills, he wouldn’t have dared to be chosen as a sacrifice for that person.
But if asked if his skills were enough to dare to make blood flow from the holy body of that person who is like the incarnation of flawless martial arts….
‘Absolutely not to that extent.’
‘Even if he possesses an equal divine rank, the difference in martial arts is clear….’
‘How can he be like that?’
If they weren’t martial artists or were of a low level, they would have just concluded by deducing that Patrick was a strong man equal to the Heavenly Demon.
But they are absolute masters who would leave their names as hegemons of a region no matter what era of the Murim they were placed in.
Being such people, they absolutely could not understand the contradiction occurring in front of their eyes right now.
In fact, the reason is simple.
The reason the Heavenly Demon is being pushed back by Patrick right now is that Patrick has seen through the Heavenly Demon’s psychology.
To the Heavenly Demon, Patrick was a worthy rival obtained over thousands of years.
A precious treasure who could fight against him as a martial artist for the first time.
Such a Patrick….
Could the Heavenly Demon kill him easily?
No.
Absolutely impossible.
The Heavenly Demon wants to test all the martial arts he has honed over a long time and quench all his thirst through the existence called Patrick.
Just like a child eating a cookie they desperately obtained little by little, saving it as much as possible.
And Patrick read that psychology of the Heavenly Demon.
That’s why he completely abandoned defense and carried out a completely reckless attack.
And in the way that would be most unpleasant to the Heavenly Demon.
The guts to wager his own life.
The delicacy to stimulate the opponent’s psychology.
Patrick was pushing the Heavenly Demon utilizing those two weapons.
And there was only one person here who grasped that fact.
‘Young Master….’
April Schneider.
Only she, Patrick’s disciple and wife, grasped that fact.
[To win a fight, you just have to do what the opponent hates the most and wishes you wouldn’t do. That is the winning tactic.]
To others, it looked like he was being pushed back miserably, but Patrick was doing his best for victory according to his theory.
April knew that.
And….
‘Please win….’
Now she just trusted Patrick and watched.
***
After getting hit once by Patrick.
The Heavenly Demon changed his combat style.
If previously he competed in the psychological warfare of martial arts by exchanging blows directly at close range, now….
“I will fix your habit.”
Kwang! Kwaang! Kwaaaang!
He was pushing Patrick by emitting terrifying palm forces from a long distance.
Using attacks utilizing such a reckless difference in power is not his intention.
Originally, as a martial artist, he wanted to enjoy a more detailed and precise psychological warfare with Patrick.
But….
“How dare you disappoint me.”
Patrick thoroughly betrayed the Heavenly Demon’s expectations.
Ignoring defense and reckless attacks containing no martial logic?
He didn’t designate Patrick to join in such antics.
‘I will show you the thorough difference in power and make you succumb. And if you don’t listen until the end….’
The Heavenly Demon glanced sideways at where Patrick’s companions were.
Just in case, he did well to order the elders to capture them alive instead of killing them.
Although looking at their state, it didn’t seem like a state fit to be called captured alive, but as long as they were in his sight, it was the same.
He heard that two of them were even Patrick’s wives.
Then their value as hostages would be sufficient.
At that moment….
[ Radiant Dragon Twelve Sword Forms: Twelfth Form: Radiant Dragon’s Reign Under Heaven ]
“Ooh….”
Color returned to the Heavenly Demon’s face.
Unable to withstand his wave of attacks, Patrick finally unleashed his secret technique.
Patrick Schneider’s final secret art.
The dragon of light he created withstood the Heavenly Demon’s offensive and ascended high into the sky.
“…Magnificent.”
The Heavenly Demon admired the dragon of light filling the sky, coiling, and looking down at him.
“Very excellent. You have perfectly embodied the dragon in your heart into martial arts.”
Martial artists who could unfold the Formed Qi of Intent Secret Technique to this level were rare even in the era the Heavenly Demon lived in.
Dark purple demonic energy formed on the Heavenly Demon’s hands.
And the Heavenly Demon took a starting stance for the first time and said.
“Come as you are.”
No sooner had those words fallen than the dragon of light fell towards the Heavenly Demon.
The Heavenly Demon calmed his pounding heart and unleashed an ultimate move towards the dragon of light.
[ Heavenly Demon Divine Art: Heavenly Demon Lightning Hundred Eight Palms ]
At that moment, a hundred and eight powerful palm forces battered the dragon of light in one breath.
Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop!
It was like watching fireworks.
The dragon of light was ravaged no less than a hundred and eight times by the powerful demonic palm techniques.
And the moment the dragon’s momentum died….
“Here, take this too.”
The Heavenly Demon’s next attack followed immediately.
He jumped into the sky and punched down towards the dragon of light.
[ Heavenly Demon Divine Art: Heavenly Demon Heaven-Breaking Fist ]
The immense fist power, spewing out with the momentum to break the sky, swallowed the dragon of light just like that.
This was a single punch of absolute destruction that tolerated no existence.
It was the first strike the Heavenly Demon threw with sincerity.
The moment after that powerful attack passed….
“Ah….”
The Heavenly Demon sighed with regret.
Because he got excited, he unleashed too strong an attack.
Is it over now?
Has this happy moment he desperately wished for ended now?
But then….
“Finally got you.”
“……!”
The Heavenly Demon’s heart sank.
When?
How?
He didn’t know, but right now, Patrick was soaring up from below him.
