“Wow!”

“No!”

“Aaaah!”

I erased the screams of the crowd from my mind and increased my concentration. It really starts now. We had to make Kang Jun into a true expert through high-quality acting.

When Kangjun, who was staggering, saw me jumping up, he looked at me and took a defensive stance.

The moment sword and sword met, I twisted the blade.

Grumble!

A flash of sparks flew out and Kangjun hesitated. Obviously, the point of impact was the upper part of the sword, but because I intentionally twisted the blade down, the force of the blow was actually placed at the end of the sword, underneath the blade.

There was a visual effect of a spark, and if I were an unmanned person, it would have been seen that Kangjun had shown a clever ability to block my attack by pulling it to the lowest point of the sword body.

In addition, the center of the body, which was staggering while receiving the Saho, was stabilized by providing strength under the blade. Well, the center of gravity was corrected, but anyone except me would have used the power cleverly or considered it lucky.

“Wow, you have a knack for it!”

After swinging the sword once, he immediately went into attack.

There are a total of three sword techniques I have learned.

[Myeongwol Sword Technique], [Banyugok Sword Technique], and [Ilcheon Sword Technique]. Myeongwol Sword Technique is a defensive-oriented sword technique, and Ilcheon Sword Technique is an offensive-oriented sword technique. And the Banyugokgeom is a sword technique that contains the techniques of Saryangbalcheongeun and Hwagyeong, which are popular in the martial arts world.

The Banyugok sword is a sword technique that relies on probability to deflect or parry in order to survive without actually dying when you meet a more expert than me, so there is no need to use it today.

What you need to use is the method of Myeongwol Sword Technique.

The reason why I learned the Myeongwol Swordsmanship among the numerous swordsmanships in this world of martial arts is because the Myeongwol Swordsmanship has one characteristic that differentiates it from other swordsmanships.

Preemptive defense. It’s because of the sword called [Wolhananheun].

You can think of preemptive defense as ultimately an attack, and that is correct. However, as always, everyone can fit into the big picture, and it is the details below that determine victory or defeat.

Wolhananheun is very extravagant because it contains the mysteries of Hwan in a second-rate swordsmanship at best.

Although it has almost no actual attack power, it is very easy to retrieve. It is literally a preemptive defense that blocks the opponent’s attack flow.

Clap la la la!!

In addition to the effects of gambling techniques that provide auxiliary effects to the Hwan-type martial arts, Wolhananheun is truly the pinnacle of splendor.

“Aaaah!!”

Kang Jun swung his sword randomly. Well, where could a second-rate warrior have tasted such a fantastic sword? In Kangjun’s view, he would probably think that I was holding about three swords at once. He said that he uses three swords in one step, but I think he uses about four to five swords in one step right now.

However, it appears that the nickname ‘Ilbo Samgeom’ was not a lie.

As the situation became more urgent, I guess my true skills came out and I was able to hit the Wolhananheun quite well.

Kang Jun may be the type of person who gets nervous in actual competition, but he felt like his skills came to life as he pushed himself hard. Perhaps the sword strike that Kangjun is showing off like crazy right now is his real skill.

visor! visor! Kaang!

Above all, I really liked the gorgeous appearance. The sight of Kang Jun narrowly blocking or dodging my sword strikes was something that made me sweat.

Pee it!

“Ahh!”

“Cheer up! Daehyup!”

“Taegyeongmun! Taegyeongmun! One Step Three Swords!”

When my sword grazed Kangjun’s lower jaw, an uproar ensued.

A truly close match!

When Kangjun responded to some extent, I also threw my sword without hesitation. In any case, the Wolhanan Sword only has enough attack power to scrape off fabric at best, so I too was able to boldly extend the sword.

A cut that splits the skin on the face would be a wound that would cause an uproar on Earth, but thanks to the strangely developed trauma medicine and the existence of internal organs, even that much heals without a trace with just the application of medicine.

Kang! Kaang! Cheaeng! Ting!

Sword strikes are exchanged at a rapid pace, and in the meantime, Kang-Jun sometimes narrowly deflects his sword, or gets scratches on his body because he is unable to respond.

The crowd continued to let out gasps when Kang-Jun narrowly dodged something or got scratched.

The atmosphere at the scene is now at its peak. Not only all the crowds in the market, but even Kangjun and I are immersed in the current event.

It was not for nothing that people were told to leave while applauding. When Kangjun maintains his heightened state and shows off his best skills, trying to show it 120% or 150% can end up ruining the game for no reason.

Now it was time to finish it off.

Let’s see, what would be a good finale?

In fact, the best scenario is that Kang-Jun directly passes through my sword and throws a gambling move, but right now, Kang-Jun is completely immersed in receiving my sword. I think it would be difficult to hope for more than that with Kang-Jun’s capabilities.

So I had to reveal the loophole. In fact, it was a problem that could be solved by limping at least once, but now that the legend of Hocheon-an is being renewed, is the best you can do is limping on the bare ground? So, the kid named Kang-jun was lucky, but then the ronin tripped on the bare ground?

It’s going to sound something like this.

Tuk.

It was then.

A chestnut that had been rolling around at my feet was kicked. Did the chestnuts I kicked earlier pour out of the basket?

Instantly, a new scenario came into my mind. It’s a powerful ending that Kang-Jun’s current skills can handle.

Whoa!!

Wolhananheun quit and deflected Kangjun’s sword with his real sword. Kangjun was unable to hold on and stumbled. In fact, the skill gap between Kangjun and I was exactly as seen in the scene now. If I really swing the sword, I probably won’t be able to last even three seconds.

“Haha Kangjun! You got caught!”

iced coffee!!

With the sighs of those around him as background music, he raised his sword and raised it above his head.

“Die Kangjun!”

Argh! Can not be done!

With the cries around me, I took a step forward. As I brought down my sword, I stepped on the chestnuts.

“Oh!”

As the night shattered, my feet collapsed, my posture became disturbed, and the path of my sword became curved. As a result, the sword for finishing passed right in front of Kang Jun.

Kang Jun is also unmanned.

My posture completely collapsed and my attack failed, so I reflexively stabbed my sword into the gap.

With your face.

You really are a true bastard until the end.

Normally, to subdue an opponent, one would aim for the hand, but this bastard just stabbed the opponent straight with his face? He lost his sword due to an appropriate attack and was preparing his next line when he hurriedly applied force to the sword and threw it away.

Kaang!

Pee it!

Even though he hurriedly shook off the sword, probably with the intention of killing him, he was unable to completely block it and the sword grazed his face.

Should I kill him?

When you feel a burning pain in your face. It was a black cat education, and I thought about just throwing it away.

In an instant, the market street became quiet.

To live.

It was just luck that Kangjun’s sword grazed my cheek. I was literally lucky. It would not be strange to say that luck struck here and this result was achieved. Even though it was urgently blocked, the defense was not perfect and the angle of the bounce was not taken into consideration at all.

If that sword had landed in my eyes, forehead, or neck, I might have really died.

He was so angry at the near-death crisis that he thought about killing Kang-Jun for a moment, so the level of life that was released in an instant must have been something that this crowd has never experienced.

okay. Let’s hold on just this once.

There’s also a black cat, and today’s production wasn’t a joke. Are you going to just throw this away? At best, if you apply Geumchang herbal medicine and eat fortune-telling, it will heal without a trace. That guy also has a scar on his face, so he might be a little angry. We decided to service it today anyway, so let’s do it right.

Sigh.

I dragged my feet.

Kangjun and the crowd, who were overwhelmed by my life and were concentrating on my every move, paid attention to my feet.

Traces of a shattered night!

I didn’t make a sound because I was afraid, but a hint of hushed expression spread through the crowd.

They also understood why I had just split the air and revealed a gap.

When I stepped on it at the perfect moment, the attack missed because of the chestnut that was in that position!

“….It was bothersome from a while ago.”

I looked behind me, intentionally releasing my life in a subtle way.

The old woman, whose face had turned gray, was trembling as she held a half-filled basket of chestnuts.

I wasn’t very sorry.

Anyway, after this play is over, Taegyeongmun will hand over a considerable amount of money in the name of consolation money. At this moment, it was the moment when the consolation money, which was at most a night’s pay, grew to a considerable amount.

I was deliberately turning my body with slow movements, dragging my feet.

No matter how clueless you are, you can guess that if I turn around, the old woman will not leave me alone.

I trusted Kang Jun.

I believed in Kang Jun’s burning personality.

What did Kang Jun do when Lee Ho was under my feet? When he saw my unstable posture, he couldn’t bear to let his mean instincts kick in, so he launched a surprise attack! But in this situation where you’re half turned away, you’re holding back that instinct?

That was impossible.

“No!”

“Get out of the way!”

Cheaeng!

Kang Jun launched an even fiercer attack. It was very annoying to see the hopeful look in his eyes, thinking that if the sword from before had gone well, he could have ended me.

I was so shocked at that moment that I almost struck the sword so hard.

My face turned bright red.

As expected, it is an application of gambling technology. When your skill in decorating facial expressions reaches its peak, you can even control your complexion in this way. No, actually, anyone can make a red face as long as they apply strength to their face.

“Damn, internal injury!”

Is it okay for a child like this to belong to a political faction?

Although I was the one who gave you a clue so that you could deduce that ‘this guy slipped on his foot while preparing for the final blow and suffered an internal injury!’

Even so, I sincerely wonder whether the fact that the color of one’s face changes drastically and the strength in one’s limbs changes when one hears that one’s opponent has weakened is a quality of a true person.

Since there is no sect in Sacheon, even children like Sagar are listening to the sect.

My intestines suddenly twisted as I imagined Kang Jun hearing the sound of Daehyup tomorrow due to the direction shown today.

“Haaap! Taekyung Ilsa!”

Seeing Kang Jun’s appearance, my motivation level almost reached the bottom, so I let go of the sword, throwing my body backwards as if my strength was being lost.

Taegyeongmun Gate charges 10 times the price of the sword.

“Wow…!! You idiot!”

He staggered and took two steps back. Hands handle gaze. I could feel the eyes of the crowd and Kangjun focusing on my hands. My hands were literally shaking like aspen trees.

Anyone can see that he can no longer fight.

I hesitated, taking a step back and glaring at the old woman and Kang-Jun alternately. The old woman took a step back when she saw my irritated look.

Kang-Jun also noticed the gaze and hurriedly blocked the old woman’s path. What’s wrong with that guy’s sense of professionalism? What good is it that we leave the rice cake to a guy like that until the end? Anyway, it’s really over now.

“…We’ll see! I will not forget my grudge today!”

I retreated to the back alley, leaning my upper body forward excessively and making it look like I was going to collapse at any moment.

Wow!!!

Kangjun! Kangjun!

Three swords! Three Treasures and One Sword!!

Taegyeongmun!! Taegyeongmun!! Taegyeongmun!!

“Wow, C.E. Pearl, it was really fucking hard.”

“You worked hard, senior.”

Before I knew it, the black cat that had followed me without even knowing whether it was a mouse or a bird was standing next to me.

“Keep in mind that this was not a typical mid-level request situation. What we need to learn today is that the situation in the field always changes. You have to respond in a situation where the other person doesn’t know you and you don’t know the other person, and you shouldn’t give the crowd any room to guess what’s going on. They say being a Sichuan ronin is something you really can’t do.”

“I knew it from knowledge, but…today’s request is really…I don’t know how to express it.”

The black cat seemed to be quite impressed by today’s production, and his voice was flushed. I wonder how impressive it was to witness the Hocheonan legend in person during the first request.

If I were a black cat, I might have applauded while shedding tears.

“In that case, you can do it like this.”

I gave a thumbs up.

The black cat was staring at me and gave me a thumbs up sign with both hands.

It looked strangely cute, so I chuckled.

He was a junior who learned quickly.
