Episode 426.
A past linked to the Four Gods (1)
The appearance of Yeonwi with his eyes closed and his sword raised was like a bamboo tree.
Tang Guan watched Yan Wei with excited eyes and Tang Sang’er with eyes full of tension.
How much time has passed like that?
Slurp.
A leaf rustled and touched Yeonwi’s shoulder.
In an instant, his eyes opened brightly, emitting a light as strong as the sun.
Flash!
I thought I saw a flash of light.
Whoa! Rumbling.
As many as ten rocks outside were split diagonally.
“Hmm.”
He has such deep inner energy and good eyesight that he can examine the cut surfaces of rocks in detail even from a distance of ten feet.
Yeonwi nodded.
‘It’s worth taking a look at now.’
By expanding the versatility of the Absolute Sword, we tried to incorporate sword power into a slash followed by a cut.
Although there were repeated failures, repeated efforts eventually gave it the power it has today. For the first time since creating Absolute Sword, Yeonwi was able to be satisfied with the results he had produced.
He turned his head to Tang Guan and Tang Shang’er.
“How do you feel?”
The official tilted his head.
“It is clear that it is a tremendous sword skill.”
Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.
Due to the nature of the hotel, praise does not come out like that. There is clearly something unclear.
“The process from launch to retrieval of the slash seems flawless… but the flow of power is disappointing.”
“What if it’s a flow of power?”
“This may be the difference between party writers and prosecutors. However, if it were me, I would not have taken such a neat approach, but would have used a sharp sword and used a flexible slash that allowed me to immediately respond to the opponent’s attack.”
“…hmm.”
The officer stretched out his right hand and raised the index finger of his left hand.
“If the opponent attacks like this.”
The left index finger moved in a straight line toward the right hand.
“Yeongaju’s slash is a form of smashing and cutting by striking each other, but doing so may convey shock to the caster. So…”
The officer’s right hand swung his left index finger around the wire and grabbed his left wrist.
“Why don’t you try correcting it so that you can shed the opponent’s attack like a leaf blowing in the wind and let it explode on your body?”
“Huh.”
Yeonwi made an expression of admiration.
“It’s definitely different. “If you can use such a slash, it will be possible to cut down your opponent first without colliding with them.”
“That’s it. There is no doubt about Yeongaju’s martial prowess, but in fact, your disposition is too upright. “His upright character and orthodox swordsmanship creates a fair and deep fight, but in the end, martial arts is fundamental to overcoming an opponent.”
That was the martial arts of the party. The martial arts he pursues is not to stop the fight or to completely defend against the opponent’s attack, but to kill the opponent before he is attacked.
It doesn’t suit the age. The first priority of Yeonwi is to block and deflect attacks coming from all directions, and the second priority is to attack the opponent and render him incapable of combat.
It is literally authentic. Most of the martial arts students in the central region were like that. Among them, Yeonwi’s martial arts were famous for boasting the power of an iron wall, so they focused on perfect defense before an overwhelming attack.
The hotel also knew that.
“Of course, there is no need to follow my advice and complete the sword. However, there is a difference between being able to use something but not using it because you don’t need it, and not being able to use it and having to bump into it even when you need it.”
“Certainly, the Tang family’s group is a bit fierce and unsuited to my martial arts skills. However, as the head of the family said, it is also an aspect of martial arts. “It was a great help.”
The official laughed.
“I don’t know if that will help. That’s easy, but using a slash that can respond to any opponent’s attack may be more difficult than the process of making that sword.”
“There is a road, shouldn’t you walk it? My only wish is to create a more perfect and in-depth swordsmanship. “Even if I can’t complete the three swords, I don’t want to pass up one sword in vain.”
These were words that clearly revealed Yeonwi’s true nature.
If you fix even the smallest details, you will see the end. Perhaps Yeon Ho-jeong’s harsh temperament may have been inherited from Yeon Wi’s immersion and sense of responsibility.
“Besides that, you also need to pay attention to footwork. “Not the walking method of Yeonga, but the walking method suitable for that sword.”
“I understand. A slash that doesn’t collide with the opponent’s attack is impressive, but before that, you must have an evasion technique to escape the opponent’s attack range.”
“You know very well.”
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I can see another way forward.”
The party satisfied our appetite.
“It’s just an equivalent exchange. “Thanks to the head of the family, the use of Mancheongong’s true energy has become more delicate.”
If Yeon Ho-jeong received a method to maximize the killing power of Mancheongong and Hwawoogong and the martial law of unity that can match the two, Yeonwi received a foundation to spread Mancheongong’s true energy like a spider web.
The magistrate could not have imagined that he would receive such great help from the two rich people of the Yeon clan.
The reason why the martial arts of each school could not grow explosively was because of the principle of non-human interaction.
Nasopharyngeal dysfunction. This means that teachings cannot be given to those who do not have the necessary qualities. This is interpreted to mean that the martial arts within the martial arts sect are not taught to those who do not belong to the sect.
It is a characteristic of the martial arts sects to be extremely wary of other sects taking over the main text.
This is inevitable because Moorim is a cruel world where stabbings occur at the moment of a mistake. The moment the opponent becomes stronger than me, they try to prey on me.
Even if you talk about the extent and the cause, it has absolutely no meaning to the person who was harmed. In other words, the first thing is to be careful before being attacked, and the second thing is to exert influence by overwhelming the opponent.
Therefore, the probability that a sect that started small will grow into a major sect is extremely low. At best, it was the wish of most small and medium-sized sects to grow into a strong sect in a region by forming ties with the main sect.
In that respect, Byeoksan Love Story could definitely be said to be great. Without much interaction with other clans, he gained a reputation as the strongest martial artist in Gangdong based on pure skill and will.
Also, because of that, he almost got eaten by the famous family. Since we are not affiliated with other clans, the aftermath will be clean.
“Let’s continue to interact often in the future.”
At Yeonwi’s words, the official glanced at Tang Sang-ah.
Tang Sang-ah’s expression was one of ecstasy itself.
In the eyes of Yeon Wi, it was a good sword, and in the eyes of the Tang official, it was a disappointing sword, but to Tang Sang-er, this sword was a demonstration of power befitting the term, literally, an absolute sword.
A sword that cannot be blocked by any martial arts. It doesn’t seem to have a lot of destructive power or is extremely sharp, but once it’s pulled out, it cuts everything down.
The simple yet unstoppable sword gave Tang Sang-er a huge shock. At the same time, it fascinated her.
A sword can be so beautiful.
The official nodded.
“There is no exchange of martial arts within the gate. However, since both you and I are in a position to create a new martial arts school, let’s put our heads together for that matter.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Let’s do that.”
That’s what I said, but I knew the reason.
It is natural that a group of sects are involved in creating a new martial art.
Our hotel’s Mancheongong contains some of Yeonga’s true techniques of operation. Mancheongong and Hwawoogong, which will be completed in the future, will contain Yeonhojeong’s unconventional martial principles.
At the same time, the absolute three swords pursued by Yan Wei will be filled with the demands of the Tang family’s killing power and defense preoccupation.
The two families already had sufficient exchanges regarding the characteristics and methods of dealing with each other, although they did not know the structure and methods of each other’s Gajeon martial arts. And that exchange will deepen in the future.
Unless one of the two betrays, the two families in the next generation will be much stronger than they are now.
“Anyway, I have one question.”
“Please speak.”
“I mean your eldest son.”
Yeonwi smiled.
“Is there something wrong with Hojeong?”
The official tilted his head.
“I think I heard about it once before, but what kind of martial arts is he learning?”
“Ah, I guess it’s about Gojeong’s martial arts skills.”
“exactly. Even if you look at it all, it’s not Yeonga’s martial arts skills. Of course, his talent is acceptable, but I can’t believe that he has already reassembled Yeonga’s martial arts and created a new martial arts.”
“Of course not.”
Yeonwi leaned against a tree.
The figure of Yeonwi, with his leaden sword planted in the ground and his hands resting on the swordman, was truly beautiful enough to be admired. Tang Sang-ah was inwardly surprised that a warrior who devoted himself to the sword could be so beautiful.
“The martial arts that Hojeong learned are martial arts named after the Four Gods.”
I asked, but I didn’t think he would actually tell me.
Even in the midst of surprise, the official tilted his head.
“Reaper? “The Four Gods’ Martial Arts?”
“exactly.”
“There are more than one or two martial arts created after the image or meaning of the Four Gods…”
“I know that too. However, it is said that Hojeong is a rare rank that was obtained by chance.”
“Hoo, I got it by chance….”
There is something that people misunderstand. They think that if they obtain the best level in the world, they will be able to become excellent masters.
In conclusion, it is close to impossible.
It is possible to learn the true martial arts techniques, i.e., Shimbeop, close to completion on one’s own, but the route or form of martial arts cannot be learned through only a minor level. This is impossible unless you are a genius who is born once every hundred or thousand years.
The museum recalled. Yeon Ho-jeong’s unconventional yet extremely practical fighting techniques.
It was clearly herbivorous, but there was no set pattern. The characteristics of the martial arts he used were clear, but the way he responded to the situation and the opponent’s attack was extremely free and perfect.
‘You can never use martial arts like that without a lot of actual combat experience. No, no one in the martial arts world of that time could use such a cheap tone.’
Although he always cursed with his mouth, the official also acknowledged Yeon Ho-jeong’s martial arts skills.
‘However, in order to gain such practical experience, a life-or-death decision based on a well-refined strategy is essential. Then it means that he has a teacher other than Yeongaju.’
The official glanced at Yeonwi.
Yeonwi was looking at the sky with a calm expression.
‘You’re hiding something.’
The hotel was not disappointed or offended at all about that. Because each person has something they want to hide.
I was just curious.
‘It’s the martial arts of the Four Gods… Even before Turo, Jinki was unusual. I felt a fierceness that made me stand up to the end and slaughter my enemies no matter what.’
The official’s eyes lit up.
‘It’s definitely a martial art that has been honed over a long period of time. ‘It may not be about three or four hundred years, but it may contain a period of time comparable to that of Shaolin.’
* * *
“Elder of Jwapojeongsa.”
“What’s going on?”
“That…”
“How can you stutter so much?”
The guard captain bowed his head.
“At that time, the martial artist came back.”
Jongmyeong’s face crumpled.
