◈Episode 685.
Burning Mountain (3)
Whoa!
Myeonggeuk retreated and swung his double sword.
Puff poop!
The Tongcheonbu, moving with terrifying momentum, advanced, shattering all the tension of Myeonggeuk.
Flash!
At the end of the ax blade of the Tongcheonbu is a thick and sharp spear blade.
In addition, no matter what type of weapon was used, Yeon Ho-jeong was the one who wielded the appropriate technique like a master.
A monster-like penetrating power is added to the simple swinging and cutting movements. A golden aura flashed in both hands of the master of the charge, capable of piercing even rocks.
Awesome!
It is a short and powerful double-handed strike.
The Tongcheonbu, which had been pushing with great force, lost its direction. As Tongcheonbu lost his direction, Yeonhojeong’s upper body was also burdened.
Myeonggeuk did not miss that moment.
Green onions!
Myeonggeuk stepped on Tongcheonbu with fearsome footwork and swung his sword at Yeon Hojeong’s face.
Buuuuuung! Paaaaang!
Three scars were carved on Yeon Ho-jeong’s right cheek.
It was a wound caused by wind pressure. He was barely able to avoid the Myeonggeuk’s angle, which had more attack power than a fired artillery piece.
“Hoo.”
Boom!
Yeonhojeong quickly retreated.
Before he knew it, his hands were empty. He left Tongcheonbu and withdrew.
Myeonggeuk, who was quietly watching Yeonhojeong, held his back.
The sight of him standing on the pole of a spear stuck in the ground, pointing diagonally into the air, was full of leisure.
“That’s great judgment. “If I had held on to the ax until the end, the back of my head would have exploded.”
When Tongtianbu lost his way, the true energy of Myeonggeuk had already penetrated into Changdae.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who realized it in a split second, let go of the ax and avoided the attack. Otherwise, as Myeonggeuk said, the angle he fired would have come back and smashed the back of his head.
“Whoa.”
Yeon Ho-jeong exhaled.
Chii Iik.
Translucent yellow smoke rose from his palm. The true energy of the masterpiece that had penetrated into it was vaporized.
Myeonggeuk’s eyes deepened.
‘fast.’
Although he himself was the one who penetrated the true energy like a ghost, the sensitivity of the other person, who immediately recognized the true energy that had penetrated without any trace and immediately vaporized it, was beyond admiration and was touching.
‘Your judgment is incredibly quick. It must have been acute sense that created such judgment.’
I felt it when we first met, but that guy’s senses were truly unexalted.
Even though this level is very heavy and has different characteristics, it was not a feeling that could be achieved at that level. There are five senses, but especially in terms of energy, it seemed like he was almost like a teacher.
‘There really isn’t anything like this.’
If Yeon Ho-jeong was impressed by Myeonggeuk, Yeon Ho-jeong’s thoughts on watching Myeonggeuk were a little different.
‘I have no choice but to admit it.’
The opponent had some leeway.
It’s a battle where you win or lose the moment you make a near miss, but you have a slight advantage. Although it is subtle, there is definitely a difference in power.
Furthermore, the other party had time to spare.
That’s how much faith I have in my military. Of course, Yeonhojeong also believed in his allies, but considering the difference between the invading side and the defending side, it was inevitable.
‘This guy is strong. It uses the martial arts of Saeumgyo that I know, but it is also completely different from the martial arts of Saeumgyo. I’ve never experienced a unique martial arts skill to this extent.’
The power of Myeonggeuk was not at the level of simply acknowledging that it was something unknown that had never been experienced.
He possessed a divine skill strong enough to block an ax blade wielded with ultimate power. And even though he was a six-armed general with only his bare hands, he boasted strength that was stronger than that of a new soldier.
It was not a fight that simply created gaps or overwhelmed them with force.
‘late.’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes wavered slightly.
‘I’m clearly using all my strength, but I’m half a beat behind at the crucial moment.’
In fact, that was the most worrying part of the fight against Myeonggeuk.
There were many times when I suffered losses while achieving this level, but I have never suffered losses due to the combat skills themselves since I achieved the Legend of Darkness.
Yeonhojeong was a martial arts person who was extremely specialized in the field of combat. Yeon Ho-jeong was always with Yeon Ho-jeong because he had the keenness and experience to immediately respond to any unusual tactics the opponent used.
But this time?
‘I’m not missing out on any strategy or strategy, but I can’t land a single decisive blow.’
There will also be a difference in power. It was a subtle, but impossible to ignore difference.
However, it would be too much of a stretch to simply say it was a difference in strength.
‘What should I do?’
Even while glaring at Myeonggeuk, Yeon Ho-jeong could hear shouts and roars coming from the headquarters of Jongnam.
Wow! Pow! Fuuuuuuu!
There seemed to be an uproar.
The sound of spear knives clashing, a crazy shout that doesn’t know if it’s a scream or a cheer, the sound of something exploding, the sound of something burning somewhere…
‘Are you okay? ‘Is it holding up well?’
There is nothing more dangerous than thinking about other things during battle.
I know, but I couldn’t help it. That’s how important the Battle of Jongnam was. It was a battle whose outcome was at least as important as the Sacheon incident, if not more so.
A distraught face and heavy eyes. There is a worry that cannot be hidden.
The corners of Myeonggeuk’s mouth rose.
“Are you worried?”
“….”
“He possesses monster-like talent and incredible combat skills, but at moments like these, he shows his childlike side.”
“….”
“You can’t think about anything else during a fight. Even more so if you are one step below your opponent.”
“It’s thanks to you.”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
“It’s thanks to you for thinking you have time.”
“What are you saying?”
“Seeing that you are still waiting quietly, I can see that you have a lot of free time. There doesn’t seem to be any reason to attack first. “You think it’s a success just to tie me up until the battle is over.”
“….”
“Thanks to your composure, I can worry too. “I don’t know if that’s a good thing.”
Myeonggeuk chuckled.
“It’s needlessly sharp, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re clumsy.”
“whatever? Isn’t it good for you? “If the enemy is clumsy, you should be proud. Why even point it out?”
“…hmm.”
“Everyone has the same desire to mock their enemies. I understand.”
What a strange guy.
I admit that I am clumsy, but that statement is strangely unpleasant.
Myeonggeuk said calmly.
“I’m fine, but I’m thinking about this again. “I think it would be fascinating to deal with a clumsy enemy quickly without having to waste time.”
“It was real.”
“what?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“I was just guessing, but it was real. “Even if there is a difference in power, it is clear that it is a difficult match, but you really think that time is on your side.”
Myeonggeuk’s face hardened slightly.
“You took a hit.”
“I guess you got two hits.”
“…?”
“No matter how confident I am in this war, I don’t think I’m so stupid that I can’t take variables into account. But he doesn’t actively attack me…”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled vaguely.
“Do you hate getting scratches on your body?”
“….”
“Am I that scared?”
Quang!
Yeon Ho-jeong’s body was pushed backwards.
Myeonggeuk, who came down from Tongcheonbu, slowly turned his neck.
“I guess it’s safe to say that one provocation is the best in the world.”
“Okay.”
“I changed my mind. “Like you said, there is no need to wait for the fight to end.”
Kugugoogung!
The ground around Myeonggeuk shook as if there had been an earthquake.
Hahaha!
The fire that was coming down like a wave of water had already fled far away. The fire magic that kept leaking sideways due to the shock waves from the two super experts was gradually losing its strength due to the brutal air pressure at this moment.
Cheeeeeek!
A golden blade-shaped true energy was pulled out from both of Myeonggeuk’s hands.
hook!
The two blades extending from the center of the two-handed capital were exuding a fierce and murderous spirit.
It was a six-length sword called Dohwacheonshinin (導禍天神刃). In Saeumgyo, it was a new technique that only Myeonggeuk learned, and it was a true blade that possessed the elasticity and strength of the Dohwacheon Shinga.
Flash!
There was a firm killing intent in Myeonggeuk’s eyes.
“die.”
It was then.
Perfect!
Yeonhojeong’s middle finger and thumb, which were touching, made a clear sound as they bounced.
For a moment, Myeonggeuk flinched. It was such a sudden act that he missed the beat of the attack.
At the same time, something surprising happened.
Pussssss.
The side of Myeonggeuk’s clothes turned into powder and scattered.
“…as expected.”
Embarrassed, Myeonggeuk looked down to the side and then turned his gaze to Yeonhojeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, gently relaxed his shoulders.
“I understand now. “Why can’t I get the decisive shot? Why do I keep having different thoughts?”
Myeonggeuk’s eyes wavered.
Yeon Ho-jeong tapped his head with his index finger.
“Is that how you use Sangdanjeon?”
Paaaaaa!
Myeonggeuk shortened the distance with incredible speed and hit Yeon Hojeong’s left clavicle.
Hahaha! bang!
Yeonhojeong’s feet dug into the ground.
Myeonggeuk was surprised. Dohwacheonshinin’s slash did not cut Yeonhojeong’s body.
‘This?’
How can you block a slash like this with your bare body?
‘Could it be Dohwacheonsingap?!’
Yeon Ho-jeong’s left hand traced her lower back.
Flash!
Myeonggeuk quickly retreated and lowered his posture.
Before I knew it, Yeon Ho-jeong was holding the Baekryongbu in his left hand.
Slurp.
Myeonggeuk’s chest garment was cut horizontally short. He was unable to completely avoid the White Dragon’s slash.
“How do you feel?”
Yeon Ho-jeong grinned.
“Even if I don’t have an amazing new skill like you, it’s not difficult to block with my bare body, right?”
“…this guy!”
“I guess you thought you would avoid it. “I don’t think I ever expected to use a hatchet.”
Whiiiiiiiing!
A white wind rose in the Baekryongbu. The true spirit of the Tiger King, the White Tiger, resides here.
“What are you doing? “You said you were going to kill me?”
Yeon Ho-jeong lifted his right hand.
“I’ll take it. come in.”
“this guy!”
grasp!
Myeonggeuk, who rushed at me again, was momentarily shocked.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Something ejected from the inside of Yeon Ho-jeong’s right sleeve and aimed at her uvula as fast as a beam of light.
‘Memorization?!’
It’s not memorization. However, it was an attack full of insidiousness as much as memorization.
Myeonggeuk quickly changed direction. Then, Myeonggeuk’s body, unable to overcome the force of its movement, stopped three feet away from Yeonhojeong.
Sigh! Ching!
The fired dragon chain was tightly wrapped around the spear pole of Tongcheonbu.
At that moment, a strong force was felt in Yeon Ho-jeong’s abdomen.
“Aaaah!”
Paaang! Buuuuuung!
The Tongcheonbu, which was pulled out by being tied to the Gyoryong Chain, drew a huge half-moon and swung towards Myeonggeuk’s head.
Myeonggeuk’s eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
I knew I was hiding something inside my body, but I didn’t know it was iron chains. It must have been thanks to those iron chains that stopped the Dohwacheonjinin.
What’s even more surprising is that the length of Cheolsae became noticeably shorter in an instant.
‘ware!!’
The excellence of Myeonggeuk was swung towards the descending Tongcheonbu.
Hahaha!
Half of the ax blade of Tongcheonbu flew off.
Myeonggeuk predicted Yeonhojeong’s rush. And his prediction was accurate. Before I knew it, Yeonhojeong had arrived within Iljang Street.
‘No way.’
At that time, a seven-colored energy flew through Myeonggeuk’s eyes like a thunderbolt and then disappeared.
At that moment, Yeonhojeong’s white dragon swung slowly by half a beat. The very ‘trick’ that Yeon Ho-jeong had wondered about was unleashed.
‘Okay, counterattack right away…’
Puh-uh-uh!
Myeonggeuk staggered back.
Rumbling.
There was a deep stab wound on his right shoulder. The wound was from an axe.
Surprised, Myeonggeuk looked at Yeonhojeong.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
A dragon chain was tied to the end of the white dragon part that was stuck in the ground.
“As expected, I didn’t miss a beat.”
“…!”
“You made it slow down. That’s how your top fighting skills were displayed. But in the face of a trick that exceeds your expectations, even that is useless.”
Yeon Ho-jeong laughed bitterly.
“Now, try as much as you want. Fighting unpredictable variables is my specialty. Let’s see how much we can endure while maintaining that behavior.”
