Episode 540
Strong self-respect (8)
“Hmm.”
Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.
“The Yin Emperor and the King of Fei….”
The head of the intelligence department bowed his head.
“It is unclear whether only the Shinhwa side is moving separately or whether all three religions are moving together. However, my guess is that the Shinhwa Church is the main force, sharing information and helping each other when needed.”
“That is highly likely.”
Yang Chen’s eyes deepened.
“Whatever it is, they are targeting the Holy Heaven Thirteenth Place. There is a high possibility that some of them were captured by them. “No, it’s not a possibility, but you have to think of it as such and act accordingly.”
“Shall we share information with the Murim Alliance?”
“So be it. Since we will find out soon anyway, it would be better for us to convey the information first to strengthen our relationship of trust.”
“All right.”
“Hmm.”
Eumje and Biwang.
Although they had never met, they were both world-renowned powerhouses who made their names in Seongcheon.
In the case of Makwon, we investigated properly, but there was no investigation regarding those two. Even if we found out in the future, we didn’t know how long it would take.
Yang Cheon, who was stroking his beard, stood up from Taesa Temple.
“Where is the Iron Team training?”
“They say I’ll be doing personal training until tomorrow. “I will always be there to practice.”
Yang Chen nodded.
“Call Deputy Yeon there.”
* * *
Chiri riririn!
Hundreds of warriors wearing light armor wielded spears and swords.
The place where the day was heading was not empty space. It was a melee training where everyone was aiming at each other, and although it was said to be like a real fight, it was only training, and everyone was wielding real weapons with the intent to kill.
puck! Suddenly!
Blood splattered everywhere and pieces of flesh fell off.
There is no such thing as a comrade in arms. They don’t really kill you, but if you make a mistake, you exchange attacks that could result in fatal injuries.
An extremely dangerous practice. In fact, there are many casualties. Nevertheless, continuing that training was also the reason why the Iron Team became the strongest.
“It’s spectacular.”
A smile appeared on Yang Cheon’s face as he looked down at the Iron Team’s training with his back turned.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood next to Yang Cheon.
Doo doo doo doo.
Half of them are engaged in hand-to-hand combat and the other half are engaged in mounted combat.
Close combat was brutal, but horseback combat was nothing compared to it. They were ruthlessly killing each other as long as they didn’t attack each other, and it seemed like anyone’s life could be lost at any moment.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“I don’t know anything else, but Inmileche’s horseback riding skills are truly amazing.”
“yes?”
“The horse is a weapon in itself. In a real battlefield, dozens of infantrymen are trampled to death just by a horse charging. Even in a fight between horsemen and horsemen, if they collide head-on, the horses die.”
“You know a lot about war.”
“It is the same horsemanship as in real combat, but it is controlled so as not to cause any damage to the opponent’s horseback… This should be taught to the soldiers of the original army as well.”
Yang Chen grumbled.
“You often say that you are going to take advantage of valuable resources. In front of me and no one else.”
“Later, send a trustworthy person to your headquarters. “Why don’t you take care of it yourself?”
“I don’t like it. I don’t believe in the duplicity of your political faction. Even if I sent it, it would subtly give people notice and make people uncomfortable.”
“Do you know what’s different here?”
“…were there people like that?”
“There are a lot of people who just glance at me, even though they don’t show it openly. I just ignore it. “I’m sure they’ll swear all sorts of things afterward.”
“I have nothing to say.”
“Isn’t that always the case?”
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Yang Cheon and asked.
“So why did you call me to this wonderful place?”
Yang Chen grinned.
“Do you remember what you said before?”
“Even if I can’t, it will still be a thousand words. “How do you remember them all?”
“You said it before. “I will be a useful partner for you.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“Did I do that?”
“Do you remember what?”
“I don’t know if he said it directly or if it was said in that way.”
“The important thing is that we all accepted it in that sense.”
Crunchy.
Yang Chen stretched out his clasped hands upward.
“Would you like to have a game for the first time in a while?”
“Are you trying to kill me?”
“Don’t panic. “I am not a human being who will die just because I am told to die.”
“My lord, please stop your harsh words. “If Buju had truly exerted all his strength at that time, he would not have been able to last three seconds.”
“If you showed any sign of truly exerting your strength, you would have run away immediately.”
“You’re not wrong.”
I don’t feel proud when I hear that he probably ran away. It is acknowledged as if it is completely natural.
Yang Cheon inwardly clicked his tongue. I knew he was this kind of guy, but every time I have a conversation like this, I am surprised again.
Yeon Ho-jeong knew when to bow down and when to build up his pride. There are many people who know it with their heads, but only a few people feel it with their hearts and put it into practice.
“Anyway, let’s give it a try. “Let’s share it lightly.”
“Good.”
Chiri riri ring.
Yeon Ho-jeong took out the black and white double dragon and set it aside, twirling her shoulders.
Yang Chen chuckled.
“Why don’t you take off the iron chain underneath your top?”
“It’s insurance. “It’s armor that will prevent you from getting hit by mistake and going into the nether world.”
“That seems plausible.”
Slurp.
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his posture.
Yangcheon was in the same position with his back turned.
“I’ll just use each method. “Let’s have a herbivore competition.”
“great.”
Paaaaaa!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Yeonhojeong moved.
But it wasn’t fast. I just moved first because the dance started.
Yeon Ho-jeong stretched out his fist vigorously.
Yang Cheon moved his center of gravity to the left and performed a rapid angle technique.
Puff puff!
Yang Cheon’s martial arts ability to block all of Yeon Ho-jeong’s quick Yeonhwangken with one foot was truly admirable.
However, neither Yangcheon nor Yeonhojeong were surprised. This was because they both knew that this was not a proper dance.
Yang Chen shifted his center of gravity again and asked.
“Where do you start?”
Paaaaang!
Even though it’s a light massage, if you don’t do it, you’ll probably break your bones. Yeon Ho-jeong, who narrowly avoided the attack, also launched his attack like a cannonball.
Quang!
The power of each technique that shook the air was incredible. It was powerful enough to easily crush a rock.
“Honestly, as soon as the words came out, I was holding back the king of spears.”
“As expected, my thoughts have changed.”
“That’s right.”
Ride, ride, ride!
The hands and feet of the two people were horribly entangled.
Yang Cheon responded by turning his feet like windmills, and Yeon Ho-jeong fought back using both his fists and both legs.
hook!
Yang Cheon’s right foot seemed to stretch out above his head, and then he drew a half moon as if he was slashing with an axe.
Quaaaang!
His heels shook the earth.
Clear footprints were engraved on the hard ground. It was a mark that was probably five inches deep.
“The information you brought is Eumje and Biwang.”
“That’s right.”
“I’m not sure, but some of the strong in Seongcheon have probably already gone over there. Even if that’s not the case, we who don’t know anything have to assume that’s the case and move on.”
“you’re right.”
Whoa!
An unusual wind was in Yeon Ho-jeong’s fist.
Faba Park! bang!
He penetrated into the front of Yangcheon like the wind and struck out his fist with a strong forward motion.
Quang!
Shock waves spread out in all directions along with the explosion. Yangcheon, who expected a break in power, raised his left wing diagonally and struck, splitting Gwongyeong.
Yang Chen grumbled.
“Wasn’t it herbivorous sparring?”
“You will accept everything, right?”
“You are the real deal. Even though I want to beat him to death, I end up admiring him.”
Babababababaak!
The two exchanged attacks faster than before.
Nevertheless, the two people’s expressions were full of composure. Not a single sound of breathing was disturbed.
Sara la la rock!
Yang Cheon, who was widening the distance, rushed forward like an arrow fired from a river bow.
Coo!
Yeonhojeong was pushed backwards.
It was an incredible power. Even though I didn’t apply much force, more than three pieces were pushed out.
Yang Cheon quenched his appetite.
“I blocked it as expected.”
“It hurts.”
“Life is pain, my friend.”
Wow!
Yang Chen approached again and brandished his sword and spoke.
“Let’s start with the next day.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.
“Is there a reason?”
“We’ve never met, but I still know as much as everyone else knows. That’s why I’m putting off the king of rain until later.”
“He’s a secret king… To be honest, I’ve barely heard any information about him.”
“Let me put everything else aside and tell you one thing that is certain.”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
Papa pap papang!
At that moment, his body moved at an incredible speed and surrounded Yeonhojeong.
It was a prison of shadows. It moved so quickly that dozens of afterimages were left behind, and each of them had the momentum of the real thing.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered.
‘Lee Hyeong Hwan Wei (移形換位)!’
One of the highest levels of footwork. Excluding the legendary Chukjiseongchon (縮地成寸), it could be said to be the most extreme enlightenment that can be achieved through human martial arts.
Slurp.
Yang Cheon’s fist touched Yeon Hojeong’s back.
There was no blow. It was literally just a light touch.
Yeon Ho-jeong grumbled.
“You said you only use each method?”
“Does that have any meaning in the current situation?”
“You took a hit.”
Yang Chen withdrew his hand and said.
“The King of Rain is the owner of the best divine law in the world.”
“How amazing is it that your nickname is King Bi?”
“People say “It is said that the military power of Seongcheon Thirteen Pillars, absolute figures of the contemporary martial arts world, can be compared to those of the absolute figures of 300 years ago, during the golden age of martial arts.”
“….”
“In other words, King Bi, the owner of the best divine law in the world, can be said to be the greatest divine law master of all time.”
Yang Chen shook his head.
“I haven’t seen it in person, but I heard about it from a friend.”
“Are you the friend who said that the Blood Jade Demon Lord would become stronger than the Immortal Emperor in ten years?”
“okay.”
“What is that friend whose name I don’t know?”
“They say it’s on a different level. “It was said that at least one Shinshinjutsu would be no match for even the rest of the Thirteen Holy Heavens.”
Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.
“Is that possible?”
The difference in movement speed between an absolute expert who broke through the limitless limit and a transcendent expert was actually not that big.
This is because these people have reached the limit of the speed that humans can achieve even if they have become transcendent masters. There may be individual differences, but if you average it out, it wouldn’t be that big of a difference.
Nevertheless, the reason that the transcendental masters could not chase the extreme masters was because of abilities other than speed.
In other words, if you look purely at speed, it means that even a martial arts expert has limitations in moving faster.
The divine law of the king of the kings is far different from the thirteen thrones of the Holy Heaven.
“In reality, it is said that King Bi’s martial arts skills are one level below that of anyone in the Immortal Emperor. If I were to really ask the question, should I say it is at the level of three armies? However, they said that this new law alone would be able to make up the difference. That’s why he got the title of king.”
“…Are you saying that it will take time for the three religions to catch the King of Secrets?”
“That’s right.”
“That makes sense.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked her chest.
“But did you ask to have a meeting to talk about that? Just call me Daejeon. “It wasn’t even a proper dance, was it?”
Yang Cheon looked at Yeon Ho-jeong without answering.
Although his eyes were looking at Yeon Ho-jeong, his mind was actually following his drinking party with Mak Won.
He recalled what he had said at the drinking party.
‘I am a very ambitious person. But to achieve that ambition, we must first win this war. And to win a war, I need subordinates who absolutely trust me. ‘A large organization has many loopholes.’
This was what he himself said to Makwon, who said that if they saw Yeonhojeong running wild, there would be dissatisfaction from below.
‘We win the war first…’
That’s right. That’s what’s important.
He knew it too. If we lose the war, this burning ambition will disappear into ashes.
And now Yang Cheon was looking at the young man who would become the best weapon in this war.
“…Damn it.”
“…?”
“If you can become strong that quickly, you will quickly reach the point of no polarization. Why are you still at that level?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s face was stained with bewilderment.
“What nonsense are you talking about now? “Is this non-polar world a joke?”
“shut up!”
Yangcheon spits! I spat it out and turned around.
“Follow me. I will teach you how to withstand the supreme sound power for a very short time.”
