Episode 303
There is only one answer (3)
Awesome! Whoa!
The sound of the father and son’s swords clashing was very cheerful yet heavy.
Pabababak!
The speed of Yeon Ji-pyeong, who charged as many as five steps over a short distance, was truly amazing.
It was a walking method that maximized elasticity by deliberately distributing force. The way the sword was stabbed and moved with its elasticity as if shooting an arrow was truly sharp.
However, no matter how amazing the sword strike was, it did not surprise Yeonwi.
This is because Yeonwi was a super expert who went beyond the title of Pangwangeom, an all-rounder in Yeonga martial arts, to the title of Geomjong (劍宗).
Yan Wei’s long sword drew a half moon.
Blah blah blah!
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes wavered.
Before I knew it, the sword that had been stabbed was stuck in the ground. I only collided once with my father’s sword that drew a half moon, but I felt the shock of colliding with it more than five times.
Grrrr.
It felt like my hand holding the sword would cramp up.
‘Amazing!’
Yeon Ji-pyeong felt a tremendous shock.
‘I only collided once, but my sword felt resistance more than five times.’
The firing message delivered with the sword in a split second was divided into five and overlapped. A decent expert will miss the sword after just one encounter, and even if he doesn’t miss, he will have no choice but to retreat without even thinking about a follow-up hit.
However, Yeon Ji-pyeong was not an ordinary prosecutor.
If Yeonwi was an all-rounder in Yeonga’s martial arts, Yeon Ji-pyeong was a genius who was ready to follow in Yeonwi’s footsteps and master all of Yeonga’s martial arts.
Pow!
Yeonwi’s eyes sparkled.
‘Banryongjang?’
The collapsed posture was straightened by shooting tension into the ground.
That wasn’t all. Yeon Ji-pyeong, who immediately controlled his posture, immediately unfolded the Iron Sword Dae Yeon Thirty-Six Style.
Pabababak! Damn it! Sigh!
I dodged several sword strikes, parried a few sword strikes, and again when I tried to dodge, the end of my sleeve was cut off.
A smile appeared on Yeonwi’s face.
‘That’s fast.’
The growth is truly dazzlingly fast. Not only did he have the wit to respond, but his swordsmanship became sharper and more serious than it had been a few days ago.
This wasn’t thanks to Yeon Ji-pyeong’s talent.
‘It’s real life.’
It is said that Yeon Ji-pyeong also faced quite a few assassins on his way to escort the West Station priestess not long ago.
The more a swordsman experienced combat, the sharper his sword skills became. Even though it was only a single combat encounter, there was a world of difference between a sword that had seen blood and a sword that had not.
Yan Wei’s sword swung like a thunderbolt.
Blah blah blah!
It was the Yeonhwan Ogeom (連環5劍) that I made up my mind to throw away. Although it wasn’t that fast, Yeon Ji-pyeong had no choice but to retreat back without hesitation due to the elegant sword strike that was thrown out in one breath.
Wow!
That wasn’t all.
Even though he was watching with his own eyes, Yeon Ji-pyeong could not stop Yeon Wi from moving to the posterior chamber.
Martial arts is not just about speed. He uses his sword power to restrict his actions, uses his mysterious footwork to preempt the direction, and even slows down his reflexes, which should respond immediately, by a single beat with his sharp killing skills.
He does it all as naturally as breathing. The ultimate kendo (劍道) that Yeon Ji-pyeong, a master of martial arts that had become ingrained in her, must move forward was there.
Tuk!
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s body stopped as if it had been struck by lightning.
Before he knew it, Yeonwi’s fingertips were touching his back. If it had been a sword instead of a hand, Yeon Ji-pyeong would have been killed instantly.
“So far.”
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong exhaled softly.
It wasn’t a long dance, but I was so nervous that my entire body was drenched in sweat.
‘tremendous!’
The level of sword fighting technique and iron sword fighting has reached maturity.
At this level, I might not be a match for my father, but I was confident that I could surprise him at least three times in the attack and defense.
It was a mistake. Rather, he could not help but be astonished by his father’s martial arts skills.
‘He did not show overwhelming strength or speed that the eye could not follow. Still, it happened. I was helpless.’
He is a person who can use sword strikes several times stronger and faster than this. However, the reason he didn’t use that much force was probably because he wasn’t an opponent worth losing strength to.
“How was it?”
“…It’s a complete defeat.”
Yeonwi chuckled.
“There is still a long way to go before we can overcome this grave. “Your defeat was natural.”
“Of course it is, but…”
Yeon Ji-pyeong shook his head.
“It’s completely different from the martial arts skills my father showed me in the past.”
“hmm? “In what sense?”
“I may be mistaken, but… in the past, my father’s martial arts skills were as fast and strong as lightning. However, because he did not deviate from the middle path, the opponent felt like he was facing a huge iron wall.”
Yeonwi smiled.
It was three years ago that he showed such martial arts skills. However, seeing that he remembered clearly, the second child’s vision and memory were also quite amazing.
“Is it different now?”
“It was incredibly different.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes were wet with ecstasy.
“The martial arts that protect the middle path were the same, but it felt different from the majesty of the impenetrable wall that I mentioned earlier. He seemed to be using much softer martial arts than before, but when it came to the moment of striking the sword, it was as heavy as a tsunami.”
“Huh.”
“Free conversion to martial arts. “He used to be infinitely strong and hard, but now he seems to be able to use martial arts that are extremely flexible at any time.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong smiled brightly.
“I think my father also gained greater enlightenment than I did.”
Yeonwi expressed her admiration.
“Your vision is truly amazing. “It was surprising to read Nana Gojeong’s prayers a while ago and find out the extent of his progress, and to the point where I could even read the changes in his martial arts tendencies.”
“yes? Oh, that’s…”
“It’s impossible even for an expert with considerable talent. “Moreover, since you read it despite your lack of experience, you must have been born with good sense.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong scratched his head as if embarrassed. It felt so awkward to receive such a compliment from my father.
The Yeonwi took lead.
“But the most important thing is to acquire martial arts that suit that eye. “Your vision is certainly great, but compared to that, your martial arts skills are still a long way off.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Well, considering your incredible progress, it’s ridiculous to even say this. Moreover, at your age, if you have martial arts skills, you are comparable to or better than your older brother. “If I continue training like this, I will catch this father before he becomes a foreigner.”
“Oh no!”
“It just lacks decisiveness.”
“yes?”
Yeonwi called out to Mukbi, who was watching the two people from afar.
“Bia.”
“Yes, father.”
“How was Jipyeong’s martial arts performance? “I want you to speak honestly.”
Now, Mukbi does not find Yeonwi as difficult as before, nor does he try to hide his true feelings in front of her.
Mukbi said calmly.
“Pyeongi’s martial arts skills are amazing. There is also a feeling that Yeonga’s martial arts skills have been inherited authentically. “He is similar to his father, but he is pioneering his own path.”
“hmm.”
“But… um.”
“Did you see a problem?”
“It’s not a problem…”
Mukbi cleared his throat.
“If I seriously engage with Jipyeong, I can defeat him within three sets.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes widened.
It wasn’t that my pride was hurt. However, if it was the sum of the three, it was said that the difference in level was too severe.
I didn’t know you were that strong. Yeon Ji-pyeong could not help but be impressed once again by Muk Bi’s martial arts skills.
Yeonwi shook his head.
“The reason I said that Bia can overpower you in three rounds is not just because Bia’s martial arts skills are so great that she can overwhelm you.”
“yes?”
What does this mean?
Mukbi scratched his cheek.
“There are not many people to compare with… Ah! “You know Liang too, right?”
“Oh, Brother Kang?”
“older brother? “Are you already living like an older brother or younger brother?”
“That’s not true… After all, you are older than me.”
“What is it? Anyway, I’ve hung out with Liang a few times. “Seriously.”
Mukbi shook his head.
“At that time, I defeated Liang Yi in just 15 rounds.”
“…!!”
“Isn’t it strange? “In terms of martial arts, especially in terms of defense, Jipyeong is above Liangyi, but if you really stick with him, you won’t be able to beat Liangi.”
“that…?”
“Your father told you.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“Your sword has definitely become sharper than before after experiencing real combat. However, although your sword skills have become sharper, your disposition does not allow you to utilize them properly.”
“What is your temperament?”
“The mindset to properly cut down the opponent.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong’s eyes wavered.
“You killed an unknown enemy for your brother. It is a natural behavior as a blood relative. However, it is difficult to say that it is the right mindset for a prosecutor to only see blood for someone else.”
Yeonwi’s face became serious.
“The less blood you see, the better. However, a prosecutor must have the mindset that he can cut down anyone at any time if necessary. Do you know why?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s a black weapon. It’s a weapon that kills people. “If we add words like ‘righteousness’ or ‘evil demon’ to it, it is nothing more than a play on words.”
“…!”
“What’s important is who you cut, what you cut, and why. But that can only be discussed once you can cut it down.”
Yeonwi pointed to Yeonjipyeong’s chest.
“I hope you never see blood again. It’s natural for parents to want their children not to go down a difficult path. However, if you have already seen blood, you should not hesitate any longer.”
“….”
“That is the prosecutor. “That is what it means to be a warrior.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong was shocked as if struck by lightning.
Just because you improve your skills and deepens your level, it is not called a swordsman.
A true swordsman must know the moment to draw his sword. And when the moment comes to choose, you should not hesitate.
In his meeting with his father a little while ago, he thoroughly demonstrated his technical side. I never even thought about having to cut my father down somehow.
And that will be the same no matter who I dance with in the future. Yeon Ji-pyeong was afraid of hurting people carelessly.
“Liang didn’t do that. Even though his martial arts skills were one step behind yours, he had a desire for victory and survival in his heart.”
“….”
“Anyone can improve in martial arts if they work hard. But such persistent venom and cool-headed judgment are not something that can be achieved through effort.”
Yeonwi nodded.
“Ability to be assertive when needed. “If you have experienced real combat as a governor, I hope you will do your best to become Yeon Ji-pyeong, a pure prosecutor, not Yeon Ji-pyeong, a genius from Yeonga.”
Yeon Ji-pyeong lowered his head.
“I will keep that in mind, father.”
He still didn’t know the identity of that firmness and coldness.
But now that we know what the problem is, we will put a lot of effort into fixing it in the future. Even though the process may be arduous and difficult, there is a world of difference between not pursuing it and not being able to do it.
“by the way.”
Yeonwi backed away and looked around.
“Hojeong, where has this guy gone? “Via, seeing as you’re here, it doesn’t look like you’re training the Mortal Army.”
Mukbi spoke in a brusque voice without realizing it.
“I don’t know. “He’s probably coming up with some insidious plan to hurt someone else.”
Yeonwi and Yeonjipyeong blinked and looked at her.
Muk Fei’s face had turned quite grim, like a crumpled piece of paper.
