Episode 431
A past linked to the Four Gods (6)
Paralalalak!
Yeon Ho-jeong urgently took a step back.
“That’s amazing.”
Tamgyeong, with a smile on his face, repeatedly squeezed and opened his outstretched hand.
The hand was fine. The old, gray hands, surrounded by soft golden foliage, looked large and generous, like the palms of Buddha.
“The Geumgang (金剛) is an incomparably powerful force that can break rocks and tear up iron plates. When it reaches its extreme, no evil person in the world will dare to break through.”
Phew.
As the golden scribe disappeared, a small scratch appeared on Tamgyeong’s palm.
It was a wound that seemed as if a drop of blood would come out. It was embarrassing to even call it a wound, but the fact that it broke through the power of Shaolin’s famous sword, the Great Power Diamond, was an incredible feat in itself.
Grumbling.
Rather, blood flowed from Yeon Ho-jeong’s hand holding the Black Dragon. Unable to withstand the shock of hitting the Great Power Diamond, his protective gear was torn.
It was as strong as steel. How long has it been since you were unable to overcome the strength of your opponent and got hurt while holding the military flag?
“Though hand-holding is one thing, in my case, I put more effort into hand-holding than fighting. This is because I was intrigued by the diversity of energy output. “The great power diamond that I unleashed pierced through and caused a wound…”
Tamgyeong took a step forward.
thud!
Even though it wasn’t an advance, the entire vacant lot seemed to be shaking.
“Who is your teacher?”
Why do you pretend not to know even though you guessed it?
“You are similar to him, yet so different. He didn’t.”
Chaaaaang!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who even took out the White Dragon, spoke in a monotonous tone.
“If I had known that, I wouldn’t be here.”
“I’ll ask again.”
Tamgyeong’s eyes were suddenly filled with solemn energy.
“Who is the teacher? And who are you?”
“Find out now.”
Wow!
Yeon Ho-jeong advanced at a frightening speed and swung his double powerfully.
Inspector Tam’s eyes lit up.
The black dragon aims for the neck, and the white dragon aims for the shoulder.
Although it was a small hatchet, its weight and sharpness were beyond imagination. Although he had studied the Diamond Buddha and God’s Gong (金剛不壞神功), it was not an attack he could take with confidence in his physical strength.
Tamgyeong’s hand moved gently and struck away the black dragon.
Whoops! Whoops!
The deviant Black Dragon Department collided with the White Dragon Department, completely destroying Yeonhojeong’s posture.
It was an incredible feeling of terrifying power. It was surprising that he was able to deflect the Black Dragon’s slash with just a swing of his hand, but he instantly came up with the idea of colliding the Black Dragon’s out of orbit with the White Dragon’s stance and breaking its stance.
But Yeon Ho-jeong was not surprised at all.
bang!
Even though his posture collapsed in the air, he rotated his body and sharpened his technique using the inner energy of a divine technique.
That wasn’t all. As soon as Tamgyeong blocks the angle with his forearm, he digs into his arms and lifts the Baekryongbu upward, and the angle is a work of art. It was precisely aimed at a blind spot where it was difficult to evade, counterattack, or even defend.
However, the opponent was Tamgyeong.
He was a master who was one level higher than Yeonhojeong and had reached the level of martial arts and completely mastered the principles of martial arts.
Blah blah blah!
The power of Gwaneum Cheonggangsu (觀音靑剛手) was fast and so great that it made the eyes pop out. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it boasted the majesty of an iron wall as it blocked Baekryongbu’s series of slashes with a manual attack that created dozens of afterglows.
I can’t even tell when I’ve seen this level of defense power. It reminds me of Sasinmu’s Hyeonmu-gong, and even Tamgyeong did not implement a martial arts specialized for defense, but was using a flashy hand-gong that was momentarily modified to fit defense.
‘also.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
‘This area is not easy.’
Non-geuk is a state in which the principle of nothingness is mastered and the moment the will becomes active, the energy takes shape into the herbivorous body.
No matter what martial skill is learned, if the speed of thought is like a thunderbolt, the caster’s martial art is also reminiscent of a thunderbolt. Whether you aim for a blind spot or attack a weak spot, if you use martial arts seriously, you will boast a defense of steel that will never allow you to be attacked.
‘But I too have been in that same state.’
Rather, I was fortunate that I had not advanced further to this level.
Because energy cannot keep up with the speed of will, I can constantly wonder how the enemy and I will move in that split-second gap.
Soon Yeonhojeong moved.
Babababababaak!
Yeon Ho-jeong, who avoided Tamgyeong’s counterattack with a magical step, swung the black and white double dragon like a thunderbolt.
It swings viciously as if it wants to destroy the opponent. The wall of slashes, with no room for even a needle to fit in, tried to swallow Tamgyeong’s upper body.
‘You are free.’
It was visible in the eyes of Inspector Tam. The flow of slashes produced by Yeonhojeong’s axe.
‘How could such an exquisite attack…’
The series of slashes that curved like a crescent moon completely took away any chance of evasion or counterattack. Recognizing that defense was possible no matter what, they blocked the way out.
I really don’t know how many times I admire this.
Just seeing the opponent’s response once changes the density of the attack. His thinking ability and practical sense were incomparably superior, but in addition, his ability to express what came to mind in an instant through martial arts was outstanding.
Tamgyeong stretched out both hands forward.
Crumbling!
The black and white twin dragon’s slashes were completely shattered by the power of the great power geumgang emanating from the twin spears.
Paaang!
Yeon Ho-jeong stepped back to relieve the shock.
Tamgyeong, who was running toward Yeonhojeong, who had retreated, was momentarily amazed. Before he knew it, a black ax had landed three inches between his eyes.
‘fast!’
Inspector Tam quickly turned his head.
Quang!
Even before the black dragon was pierced into the ground, the tension of Yeonhojeong exploded in front of Tamgyeong’s chest.
Although it wasn’t very powerful, its speed was so fast that even Tamgyeong was surprised.
‘For what?’
Why did they explode in the air in front of the chest instead of hitting them directly and only ruin their posture?
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
At that moment, Inspector Tam’s eyes were shaken by the eerie sound of metal.
‘Oh!’
What if Tamgyeong had been completely absorbed in martial arts until now?
Although he is still loved by the God of War, he was reaching out not to find something, but to reach a higher level.
If so, Yeon Ho-jeong’s latest tactic could have been avoided.
But Tamgyeong couldn’t do that. Even if he has reached the level of invincibility, he is still only human, and as he has not experienced real combat for a long time, his senses have become very dull.
Chiri riri ring!
Inspector Tam’s posture became awkward.
“…This?”
He looked down at his right foot. A black-gray iron chain was tightly tied around his right ankle.
Paaaaaaaaaa!
As soon as one ankle was sealed, Yeonhojeong moved.
Surprisingly, it was not a characteristic linear movement. Although the speed was no different from before, it approached the room on the left side of the guard with a curved movement, and its movements were very fluid.
It was not the time to think about this and that. Tamgyeong stretched out his intestines vigorously.
It was then.
‘…!!’
The Gyoryongsae attached to the inside of Yeonhojeong’s sleeve flinched.
It wasn’t that great of a power. However, due to that one pull, the tension path of Tamgyeong that had been extending without hesitation was shaken.
It wasn’t just a little bit. The stretched out tension went up high into the sky, not around Yeon Ho-jeong’s body.
It would be no exaggeration to say that this was a complete mess. Just because the movement of the ankle was disturbed, the tension path was shaken to this extent.
Paaaaang! Quang!
Inspector Tam’s body shook greatly. It was not possible to properly shed the power of Yeonhojeong’s Tiger King, who had approached the close range.
From then on, Yeonhojeong’s merciless attacks began.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak! Puff poop!
Yeonhojeong’s attack was a surprise in itself.
Although he seemed to be following the path of the Tiger King, he was freely switching between herbivores and pushing the detectives.
Tamgyeong blocked Yeonhojeong’s attack with lightning-like magic, but it was too urgent. This is because the Gyoryong Chain was pulled taut at every important moment, shaking the extent of the true energy being unleashed.
‘Huh!’
Papa papapang!
Tamgyeong inwardly clicked his tongue as he urgently parried Yeonhojeong’s attack.
‘Are you sure you were reading it?’
Tamgyeong stretched his right foot back vigorously.
Buuuuung!
I thought Yeonhojeong was coming with me, so I swung my fist mercilessly.
bang!
Inspector Tam’s body shook and was pushed back. The shock wave was so strong that even though I crossed my arms to block it, I had to take a dozen steps back.
If it were his original ability, there was no way he would have retreated this far. No, let alone backing down, there would have been no need to stop such a violent punch in the first place.
‘Right. ‘I was reading it.’
Inspector Tam’s pupils dilated.
‘I was really reading my right foot.’
Flash! Whoops!
The White Dragon, which flew like a thunderbolt, struck the tightly pulled Gyoryong Chain.
At that moment, Tamgyeong felt a strong pain in his right foot. The dark energy emitted from the White Dragon Unit flowed through the Kyoryu Chain and compressed the nerves in his ankles.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
At that time, a spark of fire appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
At the same time, red-hot fire was concentrated in his hands, creating wings of flame.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The ground covering a radius of one square behind Tamgyeong exploded, creating a huge fire.
Inspector Tam stood calmly.
It wasn’t something I shed or avoided. Yeon Ho-jeong passed the tension that almost hit Tam-gyeong’s body backwards.
Yeon Ho-jeong was still standing with his hand outstretched. His hands were fixed in front of Tamgyeong’s chest.
“It’s an amazing tactic.”
Inspector Tam spoke in a voice that did not hide his surprise.
“I have seen many masters, but I have never seen anyone who implements the method of Gyeoksan Tau to such a high level. “You really trained in martial arts that is inappropriate for your age.”
The Gyeoksan Tau was one of the most advanced martial arts techniques, jumping over a fixed object and striking the object behind it.
Although there are many people who actually know how to use it, there are not many who can put it into practice. It was not a matter of level, but a matter of usability and sense.
This young man knew how to do it. His ability to utilize the martial arts he has learned and realized in actual combat is unrivaled.
“How did you know anyway? “My right foot.”
“I knew it after hitting it three times.”
“Three times… hehehe!”
Inspector Tam looked up at the sky and smiled.
“With just three strikes, you found out that my martial arts skills revolve around the advancement of the right foot and the rotation of the right leg, right?”
Decades ago, Tamgyeong suffered a serious injury to his left foot.
Because the construction work was so busy, I treated it roughly and got over it, but as I got older, problems arose. There is no problem with walking and running, but the blood vessel leading to the left ankle has become significantly narrowed.
Even the lawmakers didn’t know how to solve it. It was said that the only way was to expand the blood vessels by constantly feeding on fortune.
Inspector Tam left it as is. This was because he was not a warrior anyway. However, as a result, the burden that should have been borne by both feet was borne by only one right foot.
Yeon Ho-jeong saw it right away. All of Tamgyeong’s martial arts skills start from his right foot.
“I only realized it quickly because we had been together for a few days. “If the old man had been sincere from the beginning, he would never have been harmed.”
“Whether you are sincere or careless, the result is the result.”
Inspector Tam grinned.
“I lost.”
“It’s meaningless to divide wins and losses….”
“And now I can be sure.”
“…?”
“You are not ‘his’ disciple.”
