Episode 382
Tigers and lions are different (2)
Grrrr.
Kang Ryang felt a shock that made the skin of his entire body tremble.
I wasn’t scared of Yang Cheon. Although he has a personality, he has recently grown greatly in both martial arts and mind through close training as a seeker, and has acquired the strength to not give in even in the face of overwhelming power.
Still, I’m nervous.
The mind did not give in, but the body reacted first.
‘It’s huge.’
Kangryang swallowed his saliva without realizing it.
‘This is the power of an absolute expert who discusses the strongest midfielder of the Seongcheon Thirteenth Place!’
Srurr.
The air passing by my skin is like a blade.
Wherever the cold mountain air had gone, a sharp blast of hot air blew in. The skin on my entire body was tingling as if it had been peeled off, my joints were creaking, and my blood-filled muscles were pulsating as if they would explode at any moment.
‘It’s like this even though I didn’t emit any energy waves. ‘My body is starting to get scared just by showing me how to kill myself.’
Kang Ryang grabbed his right wrist with his left hand.
‘It was even more of a monster than I thought.’
At that moment, my late father’s words came to mind.
‘what? haha! Yes, just as you said, how great it would be if this father reached the level of sainthood. But please know this. There are many monsters in the world for which common sense does not apply. Seongcheon is the pinnacle of them all. Even though Abby is also called a top expert in the dark island, I am not confident that she will rise to the rank of Seongcheon even if she trains for the next ten to twenty years.’
My father was always full of confidence when it came to martial arts. My father was a man who was kind to his family, but was also called the greatest hero of the Black Island due to his strong will and confidence.
That was the only time my father said something weak.
‘Even if you train for ten or twenty years, you will not be able to reach Holy Heaven…’
Jiang Liang’s eyes trembled slightly.
‘Now I understand the weight of those words.’
thud!
Gwangryongbu’s huge ax blade was stuck halfway into the ground.
“I’m sorry in many ways to see you again like this. “How have you been?”
Unlike Kang Ryang, Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression as he asked the question was very calm.
Yangcheon looked at Yeonhojeong with transparent eyes.
Even though he is not glaring with his eyes open, it feels like thousands of daggers are pouring out of his eyes. It was truly not a human look.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“Are you at a loss for words when you suddenly see this happy face?”
“…Okay, nice to meet you.”
A faint smile also appeared on Yang Chen’s face.
In an instant, Kang Ryang’s face turned pale.
‘danger!’
My heart rate doubled due to the extreme sense of crisis.
Fortunately, contrary to the sense of crisis Kang Yang felt, Yang Cheon did not do anything.
“There have been several instances where old subordinates who were thought to be dead returned without any news. They are full of venomous guys who have overcome death and crawled back to this world. Those guys are still working hard under my command.”
“….”
“But I can’t use you again. “Wouldn’t it have been better for me to live my whole life hiding in an inconspicuous mountain valley and cultivating a field?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“But seeing as he calls me his subordinate, it seems like the affection that has built up over time is very deep.”
“affection? Well… if you think about it, affection did build up. In my sixty years of life, I have never seen anyone as big as you. He had good distribution, good intelligence, and even excelled in martial arts. In other words, even for a moment, I thought about passing the Inkryongbu to you in the future.”
Yang Chen’s disciple Bu Xian’s eyes wavered.
She had never seen or heard of a teacher giving such a high evaluation to a junior.
“But now I see that he really is like a rat. It is said that although the sky seems unreasonable, it contains fairness within it. “God gave you ability and a platform, but he didn’t give you a genius.”
“exactly?”
It was a strange answer.
Yang Chen’s voice became increasingly cold.
“Was Yeon Ho-jeong, the eldest son of Gangdong Byeoksan Yeonga, the world’s best late-life index, your true identity?”
“Please don’t use shameful epithets. “I am just Yeon Ho-jeong.”
“Yeonhojeong… Yeongara….”
The corners of Yang Cheon’s mouth rose.
“Aren’t you curious? “How long will it take to erase one sword from every corner of Gangdong?”
“….”
“There’s no need to send anyone. I’m very angry right now. “I think it would be a good idea to go to Gangdong and uproot your family as a way to relax and go on an outing, but what do you think?”
“It seems like people don’t change much.”
“…?”
“Even if you live your life sitting on the throne and whining, in the end, you are only as good as that….”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes turned cold.
“You may be a general, but you cannot be a general. In that respect, I think Moyong-gun is better.”
Hwaaaaaaa!
A fiery life spewed out from Yang Chen’s body.
It was a momentary reaction, but surprisingly, Yang Cheon’s voice became calmer.
“You guys are having a good time.”
“is it.”
“Moyong-gun Yeonhojeong. “Did I look like such an easy person that you two came to me one after the other and shook me up?”
As time passed, Yang Cheon’s expression and voice regained their composure, although his life became more intense.
“Why do you think I’m fumbling around instead of pulling your head out right now? Because you’re afraid of the Murimmaeng? Or because of the future of headquarters? Or is it because I have some petty loyalty left that is not worth every penny?”
“….”
“No. The reason I leave you alone now is for my own sake. It is true that I was intoxicated with power after taking the position of Lord of the Mukryong. “I did a lot of stupid things because of that.”
“….”
“I don’t want to do that anymore. That’s why I’m holding on.”
Grumbling.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at Yang Cheon’s clasped hands.
My fingernails dug into my skin. He is trying to maintain a calm demeanor and compose himself.
‘This is surprising.’
Yeon Ho-jeong was secretly surprised.
‘Yangcheon, are you doing something called development?’
A person who sits in a high position, a person with a high reputation, a person with power.
Those who are superior to others in one field, whether it be power or practical power, all refuse change. To put it simply, it’s because you become arrogant.
The Yangcheon that Yeon Ho-jeong saw was also like that. He had sufficient human charm and was not bad as the head of an organization, but he also tasted the sweetness of power and boasted the greatest reputation in the martial arts world.
In other words, everyone is bound to experience stagnation. And Yeon Ho-jeong thought that among Seongcheon’s strongmen, the one who would suffer the stagnation the longest was Yangcheon.
But it was wrong.
‘Is it because of Moyong-gun?’
Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.
“Thank you for that. “Honestly, it’s hard to deal with you right now.”
“As of now?”
“why? Does that bother you?”
“…As expected, you are fun. “You seem confident that you will reach this level someday, right?”
“of course. And that too within a short period of time.”
The corner of Yangcheon’s mouth rose as he looked at Yeonhojeong.
“The so-called state of heaven, which people in the world talk about, resides in a realm that transcends human common sense. This is not a level that can be reached through simple effort. “If he had been able to achieve it through effort, he would have already been called a powerhouse in the heavens, whether it be a dog or an ox.”
“I know.”
“but.”
Yang Cheon twisted his head.
“At least that I know of you, you’re not the type of person to waste time looking at trees you can’t climb. “If you were the person I saw back then.”
“I am no different from the person you saw back then. However, back then, I just showed more exaggerated words and actions than I do now.”
“To deceive me?”
“exactly. “To deceive you.”
Yang Cheon silently watched Yeon Ho-jeong. Yeon Ho-jeong also closed his mouth and looked directly into Yang Cheon’s eyes.
Hehehe.
The hot air that had boiled like lava died down, and the original cold mountain breeze cooled the air.
‘What the hell…’
Bu-seon looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with shaking eyes.
‘How can they do that?’
She served her teacher for a particularly long time compared to other monks. So I was painfully aware of how terrifying the martial arts skills of a man named Yang Cheon were and how tremendous his presence was.
Even she, who had broken through the barrier of martial arts three years ago, still found it difficult to look her teacher in the eye. Even if you don’t show any force, just being angry can take a toll on your mind and body.
But what is that guy? How can you look straight into the eyes of your teacher, a mighty man of all time, and stand proudly without shedding a drop of sweat?
‘Chief Wall Coral… I heard that he is a rare genius who has accomplished unbelievable tasks over the past few years.’
Buseon swallowed his saliva.
‘He was scarier than his reputation made him out to be!’
At that time, everyone could not help but be taken aback by the unexpected sight.
“Khahahaha!!”
A person who laughs so madly that the sky goes away.
Surprisingly, that person was Yang Cheon. Yangcheon, who had been glaring at Yeonhojeong for a long time, is bursting into laughter as if relieved.
His actions were so sudden that even Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Yang Cheon with strange eyes.
Soon, Yang Chen nodded as if he was satisfied.
“Good. “It’s okay too.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ll tell you honestly. I thought a lot before coming to this position. Well, it was a worry of no value. “I was planning on killing you as soon as the conversation was over.”
“I thought so.”
“But I changed my mind.”
Yang Chen changed his posture.
Slowly lie your upper body back and support the rock with both hands. The posture of sitting with legs crossed as if showing off looked truly carefree and free-spirited.
“Let me listen. for now.”
“For now…”
“I don’t care what you think of me. But your evaluation is meaningless to me right now. Also, I will not think about what comes next.”
“….”
“Explain why you asked to meet me. “I wonder what words will come out of that greasy tongue of yours.”
“If you like it, can you just send it to me?”
“Of course. In other words, would a brilliant person like you have put his head in danger without even trying to figure out how to survive?”
“If you kill me, there will be war?”
“You think too highly of yourself. “War doesn’t happen that easily.”
“I know. Still, there will be war.”
“As expected, I had faith. But it is.”
Yang Chen smiled darkly.
“I don’t care if there’s a war. So explain why you came here and why you called me. “Be discreet and, if possible, politely.”
A sincere smile appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
‘This is true.’
As expected, Yang Cheon was not the person who could be called the best as the head of an organization.
‘You didn’t need such an organization in the first place. The ambition you have dreamed of for a long time has hindered your progress, but the position of leader of the Dark Island is not something that suits you.’
The position of Inkryongbuju was not suitable for Yang Cheon.
What suited him right now was that look and that composure. That relaxed attitude is what makes Yangcheon a fighting king.
‘The leader of the Black Island Alliance has returned to the powerhouse of Seongcheon.’
Yeon Ho-jeong opened his mouth.
“To give you treatment.”
“what?”
“I have come to rid you of the addiction of Eumhwangshin, the master of the Four Eum cults, stamped on your chest.”
“…!!”
