episode_0077

It is said that a first-class warrior is one who understands the meaning of martial arts and knows how to use energy in battle.

And that meant that Jang Gye-hang used speed and force that would be impossible for an ordinary human to produce.

Kwaangㅡ

“How long are you going to just avoid it! I won’t kill you in particular!”

Watching Hwan Gong-do cleanly cut a table in two again, I was able to see how Jang Gye-hang was able to behave violently in the guesthouse.

Among the true warriors who can use energy, he is a first-class warrior who can be said to be the lowest, but even if he is a first-class warrior, he is a superhuman that ordinary people cannot resist.

Sereungㅡ

He pulled out his sword and held it to his sword, slashing at random.

Cheaeng!

“You guy…?”

Jang Gye-hang looked embarrassed at the lightly blocked attack.

He was surprised at how easily he could block an attack that was loaded with strength and the weight of a sword made of ink iron.

His eyes turned to the sword I had drawn.

“Thunder Naked Man blocks my strike! This is impossible! The power of that treasured sword must be clear!”

Jang Gye-hang’s eyes were filled with greed as he looked at the silver-glittering blade.

I burst out laughing at the absurd misunderstanding.

The sword I am holding is a sword made of white lotus steel that is provided in bulk to official warriors of the Namgung family.

It is certainly a great sword, but it can never rise to the position of a treasured sword.

Rather, its value would be higher due to the durability of Janggye Port, which is made of ink iron.

“It’s just a good quality sword.”

“Hehehe… A treasure you can’t handle brings disaster… Let me teach you a lesson.”

Of course, Jang Gye-hang did not even listen to what I said.

He adjusted his grip as if he was already thinking of taking my sword and running away.

“You have drawn your sword, so I will not look at you any more.”

A strange posture, holding the handle with one hand and the ring hanging on the back of the sword of Huan Gong Dao with the other hand.

The onlookers let out voices of surprise.

“That is…! The basic formula of Jang Gye-hang’s sword method, the wild cow sword method…!”

“Even the name is a sinister method!”

“I heard that it is a method of dividing the opponent like slaughtering a crazy cow!”

“Huh… I’m worried about the small cooperatives that are returning to the world.

I also took the stance of Cheonpung Sword Technique while watching the onlookers who were suspiciously familiar with martial arts.

“Hyaaa!”

Jang Gye-hang rushed towards him while screaming.

The blade of the sword, which he held with both hands, flew towards his neck like the blade of a guillotine.

An attack with such force that it felt like it could cut down a bull with a single sword.

“Phew…”

I exhaled quietly and swung my sword.

It starts off as calm as a breeze, but as soon as it reaches its goal, it is a herbivore that looks for any gaps and tears it apart.

Heavenly Wind Sword Technique.

Yeonpungsuryeol (軟風搜裂).

Chaejaejaejaeng-!

The moment Jang Gye-hang’s Huan Gong Sword and my sword collided, a violent metallic sound rang out and both took a step back.

Strictly speaking, Jang Gye-hang, who swung his sword with such force that he lunged at me who was standing still, was pushed back.

Moreover, I was relaxed in the distribution of power in this attack and defense.

“What…!”

Perhaps because he sensed something was wrong just by competing for unity, the alcohol on Jang Gye-hang’s face began to fade little by little.

I had no intention of waiting for him to come to his senses.

Also, I was not interested in baseless Taoist methods such as the Guangwu Tao method.

I took a big step forward and started my next meal.

A strong wind that seemed to knock down the leaves from the trees and blow away the roof.

Heavenly Wind Sword Technique.

Galpungdanam (疾風㩛盦).

Boom!

“Ugh…! How did this kid get so strong…!”

As if paper was blowing in the wind, the sword struck Jang Gye-hang’s entire body.

Heavenly Wind Sword Technique.

A firestorm attack.

I made it myselfㅡ

“Kaaak!”

Jang Gye-hang, who was unable to respond quickly due to his posture collapsing due to the shock, was instantly covered in blood.

The herbivore connection was surprisingly not difficult.

While learning Alvaroi’s fighting techniques, he has already learned what posture to use to properly apply force when attacking.

Likewise, it has been a long time since I realized how to move while performing a given initial move to connect with the next movement.

Thanks to this, I was able to understand the principles of the Cheonpung Sword Technique, which requires being as fast and soft as the wind and always applying force to the sword, surprisingly simply.

With his current specs, it seemed like he could easily deal with a top-notch fighter using martial arts.

I muttered softly.

“Then, how about fighting with only Alvaroi’s fighting skills and external attacks?”

“What kind of monster are you…!”

Jang Gye-hang asked while staggering.

I didn’t feel it was worth answering, so I said while sheathing my sword.

“You said it was a treasured sword, right? I don’t want to be a useless enemy, so I’ll deal with you as an enemy.”

And without waiting for Jang Gye-hang’s reaction, he kicked the ground.

Seeing me being attacked in an instant, Jang Gye-hang was startled and raised his sword to block my fist.

Whoops!

The advantage of external energy is that the effect lasts somewhat permanently even if internal energy is not used.

If you add strength to it, the power doubles.

Even the common Cheolposam (鐵布衫) is often described as blocking a sword, so what would the Cheongungbulbyeokgong, which is said to have been practiced by Namgung’s ancestors in the past, be like?

I was able to find out the answer by looking at Jang Gye-hang, who kept taking steps backwards.

bang! Quang!

“Ugh…!”

He attempted to block the punch using the blade of the Hwangongdo, but was pushed into a corner by me, who was not hurt at all.

I threw a strong middle kick at him who was only focusing on his fists.

Ujik-

“Wow!”

The body of Jang Gye-hang, who had been hit with a leg kick due to the height difference, floated in the air.

The final blow was delivered to his exposed solar plexus.

“Wow…!”

Crash!

He flew into the corner of the guest room and was thrown down with a broken leg.

‘The level of attack from a first-class warrior who cannot use sword techniques is at a tickling level.’

I picked up the Hwangongdo that Jang Gye-hang dropped.

Then he held both ends of the sword and applied strong force. Because it was a weapon that focused on hardness rather than elasticity, the Hwangongdo did not bend and maintained its shape.

Jang Gye-hang, who came to his senses, saw this and shouted.

“What are you doing!”

“Gongdo Huan aimed for my head, so shouldn’t I at least take some loot?”

In the end, Huan Gong Dao, unable to withstand the force, broke in half.

Pak!

“……!”

Jang Gye-hang looked at the broken Huan Gong Island with eyes full of astonishment.

I clicked my tongue and threw the fragment of Hwan Gong Dao in front of Jang Gye-hang.

Tungㅡ

“It looks like the weapon was not made by a great craftsman. However, it is not shattered, so you can melt it and use it again…”

“Cough…!”

dump.

Jang Gye-hang, who picked up the fragment of Huan Gong Dao with trembling hands, collapsed, coughing up blood from his mouth.

Seeing him not even moving, I called for a guidebook.

‘what? ‘Is it poison?’

[It appears that he died because he could not hold back his anger and his blood flowed back.]

‘He died from a fire. ‘Did I scratch too much?’

Because he does not know how to use sword techniques yet, it is very risky to deal with a peak expert.

So, I competed against a first-class martial artist who was the strongest I could compete with in the current situation…

I expected it since he was of the same level as me, but the ending was surprisingly boring.

I found Jeomsoi, who was shivering and hiding in the guest’s room, and told her to clean up after herself.

I was told by the owner of the inn that he would not charge me for the food I ate as a thank you for defeating Jang Gye-hang.

As I was sitting in a perfectly fine chair drinking tea again, it wasn’t long before the Namgung family’s warriors came into the guesthouse.

Rumble-

“Hwangongdo Janggye Port! This is the area protected by the Namgung family! Quickly stop the fuss…?”

Namgungmu, the second leader of Cheonpunggeomdae, entered the guesthouse with majestic steps and was speechless at the unexpectedly quiet scene inside.

Jeomsoy was cleaning the broken furniture, and some of the remaining guests were quietly sipping tea, glancing at me.

In reality, the Jang Gye-hang they were looking for was dead, crumpled in a corner, bleeding from the mouth.

“Minho! Are you okay?”

Baek Geon, who came into the guest house late, ran towards me and made a fuss.

“I wasn’t hurt at all. I’m fine.”

After saying that, I delivered instructions to Baek Geon in a whisper.

“If you go up to the second floor, you will find the room where Jang Gye-hang stayed. If there’s anything there that seems important, take it with you.”

“……! I understand…!”

As expected of a future fighter, Baek Geon quickly grasped the situation and quietly retreated.

As I watched him heading towards the stairs, Namgoongmu approached me.

“You’re here.”

“Okay… what on earth is going on?”

Namgoongmu, who accepted my greeting while giving a handshake, asked.

He looked like he didn’t understand what was going on.

He answered with an expression that it was no big deal.

“Hwan Gong also competed with Jang Gye-hang and defeated him, but he suddenly vomited blood and died.”

“What…?”

One of the prospective members being taught by Cheonpung Sword Squadron in the training hall defeated a top-notch expert?

It was an unbelievable story for Namgoongmu, who had just reached his peak.

First of all, it was fortunate that Namgung’s person was safe, so he asked other guests about the situation with a mysterious expression.

And the answers they returned were all the same.

Tussinsugui Xiaohyeop defeated Hwangongdo Jang Gye-hang!

In addition, Jang Gye-hang’s body, which can be considered evidence, remains in the corner of the guesthouse.

Only then did Namgoongmu begin to believe that I had defeated a first-class warrior and expressed his admiration.

“Perhaps a great talent has arrived at Namgung.”

Even though he was a subordinate, he was a person with extraordinary loyalty to his family.

“I will inform the elders of the family about this matter, and you also explain the situation to Elder Namgung-hyeon.”

“Okay.”

That’s how the conversation with Namgoong Mu ended.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Baek Geon sneakily returning.

I approached him while watching the Namgung’s warriors having a conversation with the owner of the inn to clear things up.

“Did you get everything?”

Nod-

Baek Geon looked around and took out something from his sleeve.

An old piece of paper that doesn’t seem like an important item at first glance.

‘Is it Tusun’s keen eye as expected?’

However, that was the reason why Jang Gye-hang, a military officer of Sapa, flowed to Hebi, where the Namgung family was located, and it was the most valuable item in his property, including Huangong Island.

Grocery supplies too.

That old piece of paper, called the martial arts treasure map, was what it was.

And tonight. This was the reason I dived to the bottom of Soho.
