Episode 204
Nangjungjichu (4)
The essence of the nettle!
The sharpness of the spear blade, which was thrown out like an arrow, was beyond imagination.
Even though it hasn’t touched my skin, my entire neck feels numb. It was a practical spear technique that stood out with its deep murderousness and eerie foresight.
‘fast.’
It was fast, but not so much that it couldn’t be responded to.
Cheongho’s upper body moved slightly to the side.
Teuong!
The spear rose into the sky.
Not only did it change the course of the spear with a short and flexible half-arm, it even bounced it off.
I could tell from that one number. Cheongho’s skills are real. His persuasion was at a high level.
‘It’s strong.’
Cheongho’s eyes lit up.
‘Strong but lacking in experience…’
That was then.
Paaaaang!
The technique of flying while bursting into the air was even fiercer than a spear technique.
Cheongho was surprised. The destructive power that seemed to push the entire upper body backwards at a faster speed than the spear technique, which was close to a surprise attack, was a bonus.
Quang!
Cheongho’s body staggered.
It was a heavy blow. If I hadn’t crossed my arms to block it, the force was enough to have broken my neck in one go.
‘Is baktujutsu stronger?’
Are you saying that spearmanship wasn’t his main martial skill?
Taaaang!
That alone was surprising, but it didn’t end there.
Even though the movements were large and powerful, the stepping techniques that were used for that short moment were refreshing.
Yeonhojeong’s two fists spewed fire.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
Cheongho’s ability to receive all of the pouring Yeonhwangkenbeop with both hands was also amazing.
Fuuuuuuu!
Yeonhojeong’s long guns could not overcome the air pressure and exploded.
Yikes!
A long tear occurred near the shoulder of Cheongho’s clothing, where a sharp hand had grazed it.
It was a close match. Of course, Cheongho was determined and did not use Salcho, but the fundamental skills themselves seemed to be similar.
Phew!
Was it hurting my pride to keep backing away?
Cheong-ho, who struck away Yeon-ho-jeong’s fist with a single, resilient blow, immediately burrowed into his arms.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
‘It’s like a beast.’
It is completely different from the formal white sword martial arts.
A box fighting technique whose form is free and greatly influenced by the caster’s senses.
It was a black martial arts attack. Unlike the Baekdo martial arts, which show great power if anyone learns them consistently, it was a fighting method that was greatly influenced by innate talent and forced reaction speed.
Cheongho’s recommendation targeted every part of Yeonhojeong’s upper body.
Puff puff!
Yeon Ho-jeong blocked Cheong-ho’s attack with his magical movements.
It was a resilient match that took place at extremely close range. The upper body clothing of the two people was tattered due to the shock wave that had not yet been resolved.
“That’s amazing.”
Jegal Zhenyeon came up next to Full Sang and spoke in a heavy voice.
“It’s incredible skill. I can’t believe it’s a competition on equal footing with the third executioner…”
“That’s not true, Samae.”
“yes?”
Zhuge Yan looked at Full Sang with puzzled eyes.
Unexpectedly, Full Sang’s expression was mysterious. He seemed surprised, impressed, and secretly worried.
“Thirdly… there’s really nothing he can’t do.”
“What does that mean?”
At that time, Paeyul spoke in a low voice.
“You are deliberately trying to match your opponent’s level.”
Zhuge Zhen’s eyes widened.
“You’re matching it?”
“okay.”
Tang Sang-ah also joined in with a voice as if she were possessed.
“The third’s skills are much stronger than that person named Cheongho. But on the outside, it seems like a close match. “It’s really amazing.”
Zhuge Zinc was secretly curious.
Since he had strong martial arts skills, I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult to create a close match with someone weaker than him.
Full-sang said.
“Even if you are a master of baduk, it is difficult to make someone think that your inferior is a better player than yourself. “That goes for any field.”
“…ah!”
“It’s not just about matching hands, but continuing the match so that the opponent misunderstands that they have similar skills. “It is impossible without tremendous practical experience and a free method of implementing martial arts.”
Full Sang smiled bitterly.
“I don’t want to admit it, but I heard you won’t be bored if you go around with your third child.”
Zhuge Zhen looked at Yan Hao Zheng with new eyes.
‘What are you really?’
Ordinary people do unthinkable things as naturally as breathing. It seemed like there were no limits to his abilities.
“But…”
Zhuge Yan looked at the six masters with nervous eyes.
Surprisingly, the six masters who showed off terrifying killing skills did not participate in that duel.
“It’s dangerous that way.”
“okay. “It’s dangerous.”
“Can this prove that we are from the Mujongmun?”
“Well… I don’t know, but I don’t think the third one would have stepped forward without that kind of certainty.”
Zhuge Yan quietly looked at Full Sang.
“As expected, the third brother knows the best, right?”
“ok?”
“I heard we had a pretty serious fight two days ago.”
Full-sang snorted.
“My third child and I have different perspectives on the world. “If we hadn’t acknowledged each other, we would have drawn our swords from the beginning instead of building a friendship.”
“Hey.”
“I don’t like the method, but it’s still the third.”
Full-sang smiled bitterly.
“I will do well somehow. “We have that much trust in each other.”
Paaaaang!
The explosion that tore through the air was particularly loud.
Cheongho took three or four steps back and his eyes deepened.
‘What an amazing guy.’
It was a scary fighting technique.
It is impossible to guess what kind of attack will come from up, down, left or right. Even with my animal-like response skills and prediction skills honed in practice, I couldn’t read his next move.
‘and.’
Ugh!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body, which had been held low, suddenly rose into the air and displayed a spectacular angle.
Puff poop!
It is an annular triangle. It was a martial arts replacement so skillful that even an expert with anomalous attack skills in actual combat would be caught if he made a mistake.
‘I learned various martial arts.’
Cheongho received Yeonhojeong’s attack and saw as many as five types of fighting skills.
Even Cheongho, who was good at fighting, had never seen someone who had mastered so many martial arts. It was not a similar type, but a box fighting technique with completely different characteristics.
‘Is this because it’s Mujongmun?’
A combination of martial arts with completely different characteristics and purposes.
Is there any other way to prove oneself that is so intuitive?
‘But this isn’t enough.’
Cheongho’s eyes glowed a dazzling blue light.
‘If you stop at this level, you will never be able to see your elders.’
He recalled Elder Yang Cheon’s words.
‘Of course it is important to prove that they are from the Mujongmun. But there is something else that is really important. It’s just how reckless these guys can run amok.’
‘…?’
‘I hope they are guys who know how to prove their worth before hoping they are truly from the Mujongmun. If they are people I like, I won’t mind even if they come from a political faction.’
‘…All right.’
‘A talent who can run wild without any boundaries. If you have a head there, definitely bring it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a bit dangerous.’
Cheongho knew exactly why the old man sent him.
Like other zodiac signs, he was particularly good at controlling his emotions.
It was also due to his martial arts characteristics. This is because the more one learns sensuous martial arts like a wild beast, the more important one’s reason becomes.
From Cheongho’s perspective, the current Yeonhojeong was somewhat ambiguous.
‘He proved that he came from the Martial Order through the type of martial arts. I can overlook that, though.’
Cheongho’s eyes deepened.
‘Do you dare to cross the line, or are you satisfied with just proving it?’
It was then.
Pow!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who had pushed Cheong-ho away with a particularly strong wind, had already kicked up the spear at his feet.
‘window?’
Cheongho’s eyes wavered.
‘You know how to use a spear?’
Are you saying that the early strike wasn’t just a move to catch the opponent off guard?
At that moment, Cheongho’s keen eyes saw Yeonhojeong’s palm.
A callus with a properly embedded egg that cannot form unless you hold something and swing it.
‘Spearmaster!!’
Paaaaang!
Yeon Ho-jeong jumped into the place where the six masters were standing.
Cheongho shouted.
“Spread out!”
His cry seemed a bit late.
Burbubbubbuk!
Two ghosts lost consciousness after being hit by a spear technique.
It was a strong and resilient spear technique. If he had been hit with the blade of a spear instead of a spear, he would have died with a hole in his temple.
Yeonhojeong’s spear spewed fire.
Plop! Tieeing! Suddenly!
The four remaining tiger ghosts staggered back.
No moaning or screaming. They were so disciplined.
However, he could not even hide his expression. The urgency was clearly visible on their faces.
At that moment, Cheongho’s body moved at an inexplicable speed.
Flash! Ugh!
Yeonhojeong’s window was pushed aside.
Pow! Whoa!
With a dull sound, the two people each took five steps back.
Cheongho looked down at his abdomen. Blood spread red over the clothes that had a small hole in them.
‘It was dangerous.’
If I hadn’t backed away immediately, a hole would have been blown into the ship.
‘It’s such a powerful spear. Was the main weapon not Gwonbak but spearmanship?’
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was heard.
“Damn it.”
Cheongho looked at Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned and patted his shoulder.
“Have you been hiding your skills? “It hurts quite a bit.”
Cheongho asked in a low voice.
“What are you doing?”
“what?”
“Why did you touch my subordinates?”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“You want me to prove that I’m from the Mujongmun?”
“I said it was a proof, but I never said to use weeds.”
“That’s ridiculous. “Should we let those people who say they will kill us if we can’t prove it live?”
“…!”
“And this isn’t a bad thing for the old man, is it?”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong placed the spear on his shoulder blade.
The ferocity of a wild beast with blurred lines was evident in his leisurely movements.
“Tuwang’s martial arts is discussed at the peak of the midfield. But if the guys fighting under him can’t even withstand my hands, then I should be grateful that I got rid of the weak, right?”
“….”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to avoid useless proof of skills like hazing?”
Cheongho’s eyebrows twitched.
‘What a clever guy.’
This means that even before the fight started, he was thinking about what happened next.
He’s a smart guy. At least he wasn’t stupid.
Moreover, he has a confidence that borders on arrogance, thinking that of course he will be able to meet the elderly.
Cheongho made a decision.
“I passed.”
“hmm?”
“I will take you to the Inkryongbu.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Is this enough?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t the verification too rough?”
Cheongho turned around.
“All decisions will be made by Him. “My mission ends here.”
“….”
“We will leave immediately. “Get ready.”
“good.”
Yeon Ho-jeong said with a smile.
“Let’s get along well from now on.”
Cheongho woke up the ghosts who had fallen without answering.
Full-sang came to Yeonho-jeong’s side.
“how is it? Do you think it will be okay?”
What he meant was whether it would be okay to go straight to Yangcheon like this.
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded slightly.
He explained by sound rather than words.
[Looking at their response, it is clear. Yangcheon is currently short on talent. Even if it means taking some risks, I will be willing to meet someone with ability and brains.]
Full-sang quenched his appetite.
[I had no idea that the meeting would happen so quickly after all the sluggishness that had been going on.]
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
[Where are the open provinces currently?]
[I don’t know other than that they are nearby. I deliberately didn’t keep it in my head because I was worried that I might reveal the location of the bandits when I was caught.]
[How can I contact them?]
[You can just do it as you have been doing now. Although it is a somewhat passive method.]
[Keep leaving traces on the way here.]
[Don’t worry, you worked hard.]
[And later.]
[Huh?]
[I was sorry about yesterday.]
Full-sang said one word. .
[Damn.]
Yeon Ho-jeong said to Pae-yul with a chuckle.
“Get ready, Master.”
“OK.”
