Episode 324
The one who lights the sacred fire (6)
It was not yesterday or today that the power of the empire weakened.
However, the empire still exists, and although it was not as powerful as before, it was exerting great power in encompassing the people’s livelihood.
As the empire lost power, the power of Wulin naturally grew stronger. The martial arts group worked hard to maintain public security, which the empire was unable to do. In particular, the martial arts faction of the Baekdo faction did their best to ensure the safety of the people’s lives.
Of course, the treaty of non-aggression between government and government was still in effect. In a way, Murim’s taking on the work that the empire should have done was the same as violating that treaty.
However, the imperial family and government officials could not claim that the treaty had been violated. They were the ones who were unable to use their power to protect the lives of the people due to lack of power, so they were in a position to be thankful that Murim stepped forward.
However, Murim still could not overcome the imperial family and government officials. I couldn’t do that.
The country is the root that supports the world. If the martial arts cause chaos and the country disappears, then the world will truly collapse.
That was the reason why a small number of disciples from famous schools were selected and sent to the imperial family and government officials. Since there were so many talented people in the martial arts world in the martial arts world, they would send famous talents from time to time to help sustain the empire.
In this way, the empire was maintained with great difficulty. The martial arts people respected the imperial family and government officials and were polite to the officials who exercised their influence.
There was also a reason why Yeon Ho-jeong was able to see clearly what kind of official position Gyu-jeok held by looking at his official uniform.
It was natural that in order to establish an organization, one had to take care of not only the local clans but also the government officials. In order to create a super-giant power like the Black Emperor, you have to take care of the empire itself.
As the Heukamje, the head of the Heukje Castle, Yeon Ho-jeong memorized almost everything, including the ceremonial uniforms and uniforms of the imperial family and government officials, as well as their work and income.
“Amazing.”
Gyukjeok’s eyes deepened.
An unexpected light appeared in his eyes, which were shining with the spirit of victory and murderous intent.
“He looks very young, but he somehow knows Jinmu’s attire. “Your insight is amazing for your age.”
“I guess it was like that.”
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeong’s mouth rose sharply, as if piercing the sky.
“The Shinhwa Church is secretly working against the imperial family and the government… I knew it, but seeing it firsthand, you guys clearly put in the effort.”
flinch!
The spirit of victory subsided in Gyujeok’s eyes.
Instead, surprise and passion replaced the light.
“You knew that?”
If you have insight, you can do that by recognizing Jinmu’s official uniform. I thought that since such an expert had made a surprise attack so unexpectedly, he might have known that he was from the Shinhwa Church.
However, knowing that the Shinhwa Church was secretly working against the imperial family and government officials is a completely different matter. This is completely different from asking whether the chicken or the egg came first.
Ttuduk.
Yeon Ho-jeong released his fingers and lowered his posture again.
“Looking at you, you are the wrong person to become big. Tongseongmyeong? “It’s not even funny.”
“….”
“I guess I’ll just take my anger out on this situation and use it as firewood.”
Originally, Yeon Ho-jeong followed in Gyu-jeok’s footsteps and tried to thoroughly investigate his movements.
However, Gyujeok’s new method was faster than expected and his senses were sharp.
Perhaps Yeonhojeong’s anger toward the three schools also played a role. Although I said I kept my cool and kept my spirits up, it was difficult to constantly control my mind.
Furthermore, it was impossible to keep up with the speed at which the rule was running with reduced speed. So, I thought about catching it and shaking it off.
“Getting angry? “It’s firewood…”
Gyu-jeok’s face was strangely distorted. He seemed extremely angry at Yeon Ho-jeong’s remarks, but he also seemed to welcome the other person’s reaction.
“If you can, try it, kid.”
Fuuuuuuu!
Gyujeok’s body fell back.
Even if there is no word to start preparations, it will attack first at any time.
A fight with someone who knows the joys of real combat. It was a matter of life and death with a true expert who was on a different level from Beom-oh, who had similar strength but lacked flexibility.
Crash!
Yeonhojeong approached at frightening speed.
The speed was similar, but unlike the previous approach when approaching Hyeokikhwicheon, it walked forward with a short and flexible walk, making countless footprints. It was a movement that could respond to any counterattack at any time.
‘this guy.’
Just by looking at one modified step, you can tell how good your opponent is in actual combat.
Gyukjeok’s eyes were filled with deep excitement again.
‘I can play properly.’
Faaagh!
This time, Gyujeok also runs opposite to him.
The two people got closer at a frightening speed and finally collided.
bang!
The first bite was not decided by anyone, but it was the same body slam.
Whoa! Quad deuk!
Yeonhojeong summoned the white tiger’s wind and his feet dug into the ground.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr! Fight! Toad!
His two feet, who had summoned the flame of the Blue Roar, were pushed back little by little.
The person who held on and moved forward with strength was Yeon Ho-jeong. It was the first time in a long time that he had left his tribe and was with the leader of the Three Religions. His strength, burning with extreme vitality and excitement, was different from before.
Gyujeok took a short breath.
Faaagh!
Gyu-Guk, who had laid down his body flexibly, grabbed Yeon Ho-Jeong’s arm and threw him backwards.
Yeonhojeong’s power was great, but Gyujeok’s power was not weak.
Cheeeeeek!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s forearms, which were held in Gyu-jeok’s hands, turned red.
The moment he was caught, he almost got burned even though he blocked the fire with a string weapon.
The ability to penetrate air power in a split second was excellent. It was a fantastic control of internal strength, showing that this was a fierce battle in which it would not be surprising if someone’s head was lost at the moment of a near miss.
bang!
Yeonhojeong, who flew behind Gyujeok, took a powerful step forward.
Gyu-jeong, who was immediately running towards Yeon Ho-jeong, quickly stood up. This is because he could read the unusual momentum of a counterattack from the opponent’s advance.
Papa papang!
As the shooting speed was so fast, it took only four kicks to stop it.
The speed quickly decreased, but Gyu-jeok’s body barely came within Yeon-ho-jeong’s attack range.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes were colored with a fleshy glow.
Qarring!
The power extracted from the powerful thrust is released as a tremendous wind blow.
Gyukjeok’s eyes widened.
‘Hundred-step divine power?!’
A legendary martial art from Shaolin that completely crushes the opponent with strong forward motion and explosive wind.
Although I don’t have a deep knowledge of Jungwon martial arts, it seemed to be a very similar movement to the Baekbo Shinken that I had heard about during Pungwol. The destructive power was so powerful that it sent a chill down the spine the moment the wind was fired.
Of course, Yeonhojeong’s martial arts skills were not Baekbo Shinjeon.
In fact, with the first step of the white tiger’s white tiger reign for the first time in a long time, he raised his intelligence and unleashed a blow that killed the king of tigers.
‘late!’
The destructive power was destructive, but it was fired at an extremely opportune moment. It was right to defend, not avoid.
Grumble!
Gyujeok also stood up at a strong forward angle and punched with his middle finger. It was the Fire Dragon Exodus of the Flame King’s Eight Fists, a high-level festival of Shinhwaism.
The strong and hot fists of the two masters collided head-on.
Quang!
Gyu-jeok took a couple of steps back after drinking heavily.
There was no way he could be pushed down by the force. The reason why the ship was pushed back was because the departure was late and it could not exert its full power against the wind.
Pabababak!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who quickly relieved the shock, jumped towards Gyu-jeok again.
It is a bloody martial arts battle in which all one’s internal strength is unleashed and thrown away. Even if you hit just one hit, the area hit will evaporate.
Gyu-jeok quickly took his stance and looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
Hwaaaaaaa!
‘…!’
On a stage with fireworks burning everywhere.
The sight of Yeon Ho-jeong running towards me with a cold expression, but with eyes hotter and more evil than flames, was truly terrifying.
The momentum is different before the martial arts achievement. Even King Yeom’s messenger, who had escaped from the list, seemed to have a bloody obsession, as if he was coming to catch an escaped ghost.
Gyujeok gritted his teeth and swung his twin fists like crazy.
Kwakwakwak!
Fist clashed with fist, creating a tremendous shock wave. The shock wave was so strong that even the flames burning in all directions formed a circle and snapped! I was about to step away.
Even the forest fire that was spreading like a disaster could not come close to the intense destructive power and dizzying lives of super experts who knew real combat.
Whoa!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s fist got stuck in Gyu-jeok’s abdomen.
Bye!
Gyujeok’s knee hit Yeonhojeong’s chin.
Yeon Ho-jeong staggered back. I was lucky that I didn’t lose my mind because I was hit squarely in the chin.
Gyujeok’s eyes lit up.
grasp!
If it is a short distance of less than two feet, there is no difference in speed compared to Yeonhojeong. In an instant, Gyu-jeok approached close and aimed at Yeon Ho-jeong’s uvula with his flat fist.
It was then.
Wow!
“Tsk!”
I didn’t feel anything, but I don’t know when I kicked it. The pile of dirt he kicked up with his toes planted on the ground was sprinkled on Gyukjeok’s face.
My upper body shook as I was taken aback by the unexpected method. Gyujeok’s pyeongwon grazed Yeon Hojeong’s shoulder.
Yeon Ho-jeong did not miss the opportunity. At one point, I almost lost my mind, but I held on to it with superhuman patience and infinite killing intent towards my enemies.
His two hands pounded Gyujeok’s upper body at incredible speed.
Puff puff puff!
“Oops!”
It was 18 consecutive hits that came out in a split second. Although the power of the blow was not great, it was a series of attacks that were enough to shake the inside of a master who was protected by internal power.
Faba Park!
Gyu-jeok took a step back without any hesitation. Before he knew it, blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth.
It was Yeonhojeong who gained victory with a momentary counterattack. Yeon Ho-jeong, who went straight into the attack zone, quickly took a step back due to the huge barrage of fireworks coming from the left.
Grumble! Kwarung!
The flame that flew through the air scratched the surface of the ground and disappeared in a flash. Gyujeok, who read the follow-up blow, drew his firearm and blocked the attack itself.
The magical technique of drawing burning flames to attack took a considerable amount of energy, but if he had not done this, he would have been cornered and eventually defeated.
Crump!
Yeon Ho-jeong grabbed his knee. It wasn’t enough to brake the body that was approaching at explosive speed to avoid it, so it flew backwards. My joints throbbed as if they were going to break.
Patter!
Gyu-jeok shook the dirt off his face and glared at Yeon Ho-jeong with gloomy eyes.
“You’re using some pretty petty tactics.”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“Do whatever it takes to win.”
“Are you saying that you view the strength of the winner as a virtue rather than the victory of the strong?”
“That’s what competition is all about, kid.”
It’s a kid. Looking at Yeon Ho-jeong’s much younger face, those words sounded very awkward.
However, unlike his youthful appearance, Yeon Ho-jeong’s voice was overflowing with the dignity of a nobleman.
As he exchanged fierce attacks with the enemy’s expert, he was suddenly regaining the appearance of the emperor who ruled the darkness.
Gyujeok’s face hardened.
I read the king’s prayer emanating from Yeonhojeong.
“…good.”
Gyujeok stepped on the ground strongly.
Quang! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
In an instant, all his hair rose into the sky.
Grumble! Grumble!
The fire emanating from Gyujeok’s body gradually turned blue. This brought Cheongno Pure Chemical to the peak.
“The skirmish is over. “I won’t look at you anymore, you little boy whose name I don’t know.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed evilly.
Before he knew it, he was holding an ax that had been rolling on the floor in his hand.
“I will cut you into pieces alive until you tell me to kill you, baby.”
Crumbling!
Winter night sky.
Thunder rumbled through the cool clouds.
