Episode 31.
Confidence (1)
The heavy polearm created an immeasurable afterimage. It was a fantastic herbivore, as if drawing huge flower petals.
But it was red. The petals were dyed deep red.
Fuwaaaaak!
The blood gushing from Chuseong’s entire body soaked the center of the training hall.
“omg!”
“Stop it!”
Yeonhojeong did not stop.
If I tell you to kill me once, I will kill you. The blade of the spear shined brightly in the sunlight, and death seemed like an imminent sight.
“Wow!”
Chu-seong coughed up blood and trembled.
He suffered net-like wounds all over his body. But it wasn’t just a wound. Byeokrajingi carried on the spear blade penetrated into the wound and worsened the internal injuries.
It was attacked with herbivory and a penetrating scope. Regardless of how high a level of martial arts it is, you don’t go this far unless you really intend to kill someone.
‘death?’
Chuseong’s eyes were bloodshot.
‘I’m going to die?’
In my blurry vision, I could see Yeonhojeong.
The devil, who had rendered a person incapable of recovery with his violent spear, was smiling coldly and preparing for the final blow.
Finally, fear appeared on Chu Seong’s face.
That guy, no, that demon wearing his skin really wants to kill him.
“Cough! “Save me…!”
Yeon Ho-jeong didn’t even respond.
He held the middle of the spear as if pulling a bowstring and pulled, extending the spear with all his might.
Paaang!
Chu Seong closed his eyes tightly.
It was then.
Kaaaa!!
The long spear stopped.
“Huh!”
The blade of the spear stopped an inch in front of Chuseong’s uvula. If I had been a little late, my throat would have been pierced.
Chu-seong’s body, which had been shaking, went limp. He passed out.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
What stopped this attack was an iron gun and a hand. I tried to hit the spear, but the force was so strong that I grabbed it with my hand and twisted it.
He saw the person blocking his window.
“…Dragon Head Ark?”
“As I said before.”
My voice was trembling. This is because the pressure of the spear pressing down on the iron gun was so strong.
“Master’s reputation is so tiresome. “I’m still acting as a successor.”
“….”
“Keuung! Anyway, the power is endless. “I’m going to die from pain.”
Grumbling.
The palm of the hand holding the spear was stained with blood.
This blow was not a simple blow. It wasn’t just a thrust forward, but a rotational force was also applied. This was to maximize penetration.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the full picture, relaxed his grip on the spear.
“Whew!”
Full-sang pulled his hand away from Cheol-gon with a tired look on his face.
Yeon Ho-jeong hardened his expression.
“What are you doing? “If you had made a mistake, your hand
would have been blown off. ” “If I hadn’t invested my energy at the right time, I would have become a more miserable beggar.”
The way he waved his hands as if it was no big deal was quite easy-going.
“But if you can save two lives with just one hand, wouldn’t it be a profitable business?”
Two people’s lives.
One of them was clearly Chu Seong. So what about the other one?
“It was a useless worry.”
Full-sang answered.
His voice became noticeably quieter. So loud that only Yeonhojeong can hear it.
“The Namgung family is strong. Until the Nine Zhou Myeong family came into power, it was evaluated as being closest to the best family in the world. “You know, right?”
“There are so many ways to defeat the Great Elephant that it is difficult to count them all.”
“Are you planning to take down the Namgung family?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“If you need.”
Full Sang forced a smile.
Although I was smiling, it sent a chill down my spine. Regardless of whether it was actually possible, this young man was sincere.
‘Dangerous.’
Ability comes second.
Moon Geun-sang sensed Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes and voice as strong as steel.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s right or wrong. This young man has the courage to risk his life to achieve whatever he has decided to do.
A heart so strong that it makes me feel sorry to simply use the word poison.
If the mind falls into the evil way, it will become madness, and if it follows the right path, it will become faith.
“Anyway, there are a lot of people watching. “Let’s end this fight here.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the picture with colorless and transparent eyes, looked around.
A lot of people were watching him. And most of them were unmanned.
What was unexpected was the look in their eyes.
It is normal to tremble in fear when you see a bloody fight like this. That could have been the case in the world of ordinary people.
But are they also martial people?
The eyes of the late exponents looking at this place were filled with deep excitement as well as simple surprise.
I wasn’t excited by the sight of blood. It was unmanned excitement.
A bold and merciless spear technique. Although he was defeated by the spearman, the defeat of the kendo expert persisted until the end.
The ending may have been excessive, but there was something about the roar of swords clashing and the flowing battle that made my hands sweat.
For the later Jisoos who grew up exchanging harmonies in their families, a real match-like dance without harmonizing them was worthy of stimulating the hearts of Woong. It did not discriminate between men and women.
Even Namgoonghyun’s eyes were burning. Even though it is impossible to be happy, the unexpectedly fierce competition makes your heart pound.
“Aren’t those guys so excited? “It’s easier than you think, right?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Full Sang.
Full-sang shrugged his shoulders comically.
“Try to organize it nicely.”
Yeon Ho-jeong burst out laughing without realizing it.
“It was a matter of life and death between unmanned people. “I will definitely punish you for interfering with the game.”
“He’s a man with a strange personality. I can’t say thank you. Oh, that’s it. “Let’s get it sorted quickly.”
Yeon Ho-jeong struck the floor with his spear.
Coo!
Everyone looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
He said calmly.
“I’m sorry for startling you. But if Hu-gae hadn’t stopped me, I would have truly killed this prosecutor.”
Creepy!
An eerie atmosphere took over the outer garden.
Although they were excited as warriors, they were descendants of Baekdo who were educated in great righteousness. It is difficult to look favorably on Yeon Ho-jeong, who said he would kill his opponent without hesitation.
“Is there a reason?”
The large young man asked. Unlike yesterday, his expression was serious. It was Paengdaeho.
“Brother Yeon’s skill in defeating Danju Chu was truly remarkable. But wasn’t it too harsh a treatment in a good place?”
Like yesterday, he doesn’t help Yeon Ho-jeong.
That was the line of the Pengdae Lake. Although I am young, I see yesterday’s events as separate from today’s competition. He had such clear standards.
However, just by subconsciously calling him Yeon-hyung, I could tell that he had feelings for Yeon Ho-jeong.
“I guess there’s no reason to hide it. “Today morning…”
Yeon Ho-jeong explained the situation briefly and concisely.
His words were not long-winded. However, the core of the situation was not missed and the causal process leading up to this situation was made clear.
Is that why? Although the actual words were short, the listeners fell into the illusion that they had heard a long story. This meant that the speaker Yeon Ho-jeong’s words were coherent.
Full-sang couldn’t help but be amazed.
‘It’s really not normal.’
The current appearance is much more impressive than the martial arts that pushed Chu Seong. He speaks coherently with a calm expression, and nothing is overlooked.
The voice that flowed naturally, as if reciting, was powerful, and there was no room for interference in the words and diction chosen. It almost sounded like a speech.
This was not something that was innate, but a familiarity that came from experience. It was a slow and rapid control that could not have been achieved if he had not led the audience from a high position.
Suspicion gradually arose on Moon Geun-sang’s face, which was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with admiration.
‘What on earth is it?’
His brutal skills defeated Chu Seong at the age of less than 20.
A belief that has been thoroughly honed to completely overwhelm the opponent.
Not only does he not feel pressured by the audience’s eyes, but he also has a strange charm that skillfully draws them into his atmosphere.
‘To say this is genius is not enough. If I hadn’t seen him in person, I would have mistaken him for the head of a large sect rather than a young man.’
Full-sang’s eyes deepened.
‘Who are you?’
The outer circle became quiet.
After Yeon Ho-jeong finished speaking, people turned their attention to Nam Gung-hyeon.
Namgoonghyeon’s face was red. Although he was trying hard to control his facial expression, anyone who saw him could see that he was embarrassed.
“Tsk.”
Myung Ho-rim, who turned his back, sighed.
“Namgoong’s younger brother made a mistake.”
Namgoonghyeon’s eyes wavered. I had no idea that Myeong Ho-rim would turn out like this.
“No matter how much of a brainiac he is, isn’t he someone who was recently recruited into the Namgung family? From Danju Chu’s point of view, he would have wanted to show something to your family, and it is a virtue of a superior to encourage the motivation of his subordinates.”
Namgoonghyeon’s eyes lit up.
Myeong Ho-rim continued calmly.
“You don’t know how tiring the family holding the meeting is. It’s enough to keep me standing. But it was your mistake for not comforting your subordinate. “Shouldn’t you apologize in front of everyone?”
It was a clever remark.
Even so, isn’t it too harsh? Isn’t it a mistake to talk about insults and see blood at a good meeting?
That kind of thing could have happened. This means that there was enough reason to attack Yeonhojeong.
However, Myeong Ho-rim asked Nam Gung-hyeon to take responsibility as the representative of the family holding the meeting.
Full-sang’s eyes sparkled.
‘Are you going to completely bury this matter? ‘You’re cunning.’
If Namgoong Hyun takes responsibility and apologizes, this incident will end. And it would be petty to bring up an incident that has ended. Just like Chuseong did.
At the same time, Namgoong Hyeon’s intentions will also be buried. Obvious mistakes disappear and only the ‘mistake’ of failing to manage subordinates remains.
Myeong Ho-rim is trying to sue up the incident by pretending to scold Nam Gung-hyeon. At the same time, he also showed his qualities as an adult.
Myeong Ho-rim and Nam Gung-hyeon’s eyes collided.
‘You owe me one.’
‘I won’t forget.’
‘Hurry up and finish it.’
When Namgoonghyun opens his mouth like that.
“It’s nice to see.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and looked at Nam Gung-hyeon.
“I’m not that kind of guy, but if my ‘younger brother’ had made this mistake, I would have lost face and come forward.”
Myeong Ho-rim frowned.
“Is there anything you want to do to save face? It’s just that Namgung’s younger brother is clearly at fault…”
“I apologize.”
Myeong Ho-rim looked at Nam Gung-hyeon in surprise.
Before we knew it, Namgung-hyeon had arrived in front of the training hall and was taking control.
“It was I who gave the order to Danju Chu. “It wasn’t my subordinate’s mistake, it was my intention.”
“What?!”
“I wanted to end this meeting as nicely as possible. However, I was embarrassed by yesterday’s events and my anger did not go away. So, even though I knew it wasn’t the teacher’s fault, I took out the remaining anger on the teacher.”
The crowd opened their mouths wide.
Right now, Namgoonghyun was apologizing to Yeonhojeong. He even acknowledged that Chu-seong’s actions were what he had ordered.
“As the representative of the hosting family, which must be more transparent and upright than anyone else, I have nothing to say. “I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to the speaker.”
The case was about to be resolved if he stayed quiet, but he suddenly confesses the truth.
Everyone looked at Nam Gung-hyeon in bewilderment.
Namgoonghyeon looked up at Yeonhojeong with trembling eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at him with a cool smile.
“So please forgive me for my mistake…”
What my younger brother did.
“Please forgive me.”
Close your mouth.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened her mouth as she saw Nam Gung-hyeon apologizing politely.
“I don’t like it.”
