Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 191
Episode 191
Back to hometown (3)
“Undecided?”
“yes.”
Paeyul stroked his chin in response to Sajil’s polite response.
“That means we will be staying in the area for the time being.”
“Yes, Master.”
“hmm.”
Lose rate lost in deep thought.
Cheokgang asked cautiously.
“Um… Sasook.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Can I ask you one thing?”
This guy hasn’t changed.
Cheokgang was a child who was famous for his particularly aggressive personality in fortune telling. However, he was treated with respect by adults and was remembered as a dangerous person by those in charge of execution.
A guy like that entered the Mortal Army and was well-received.
A young man of that age could easily become arrogant. Nevertheless, Cheokgang remained unchanged from before.
Paeyul acknowledged that aspect of Cheokgang. If nothing else, this guy is consistent.
“Ask.”
“The other monks have all returned to their headquarters, so how can you remain in the village?”
The corners of Paeyul’s mouth slightly turned up.
“why? Don’t you hate seeing me just sitting around doing nothing?”
“omg! Oh no! “I’m asking because I’m really curious.”
This is why people should not do things they have never done before. It was said as a joke, but Sajil’s face became completely contemplative.
Paeyul leaned back in his chair as if he was drowsy.
“If we go back to the headquarters, there is nothing else to do. “It’s just a continuation of training.”
“Ah…”
Cheok Gang nodded, but felt puzzled inside.
He was a martial arts fanatic and a battle fanatic. He equated martial arts archery and training with breathing, and when it came to fighting, he did not care who the opponent was.
I was surprised that Sasuk would make such a statement. Because I thought he was a person who would not change until he died.
‘He must have had a change of heart that I don’t know about.’
Cheok Gang opened his mouth.
“Anyway, can’t you see Jang Mun-in? “It appears that a public meeting has been held.”
“It’s obvious.”
I don’t know what there is so much to discuss. To begin with, Paeyul, who disliked complicated matters, could not understand how high-ranking people handled their work.
Paeyul’s eyes were full of helplessness as he looked up at the ceiling with a drowsy face.
‘As expected, there’s nothing particularly interesting happening in the Murim Alliance.’
I didn’t really come with the intention of getting a position.
However, since there will be countless experts gathered, I thought I would be able to share a great game with them. I came here just to see that one thing.
But until now, we have never had a competitive match. There were many experts, but they all took care of themselves.
Because there is nothing good about sticking out for no reason. In the first place, they didn’t come to fight, they just came with the intention of taking a place.
‘But the reason I’m still attached to it is because I haven’t been able to let go of any expectations.’
Paeyul smiled bitterly.
‘This is also a heart demon.’
Is Simma a big deal? If you become lethargic for no reason and say things that are not like you, that’s a sim.
‘That won’t work. ‘I’ll have to leave soon.’
Lately, the practice I liked has been sporadic. I can’t allow the skills I’ve built up to diminish, so I guess I’ll just maintain them.
Now I don’t even know how to improve my martial arts skills. I really never imagined that a moment like this would come in my life.
It was then.
“Howdy!”
Cheok Gang’s eyes widened at the sound of a voice coming from outside the window.
“uh? “Commander?”
Paeyul’s eyes flashed.
‘Commander? Yeonhojeong?’
A loud voice continued.
“Is Cheokgang there? “Let me see.”
Cheokgang stood up.
“Mr. Sasook. “I’ll be back for a bit.”
“okay.”
Cheok Gang hurriedly went to visit.
Paeyul, who was maintaining a languid posture, became curious and moved to the window.
“omg! “Commander!”
“sorry. “I was resting well when you called me.”
“no. But… your condition doesn’t look very good?”
Yeon Ho-jeong touched his shoulder.
“I had a fight with my father. “I don’t think I can beat it yet.”
“With Lord Yeonga?”
“So you said I have another father besides him?”
Paeyul’s eyes sparkled.
Yeongaju? The judges and prosecutors?
‘Bimura… Is this because they are rich?’
At that moment, Paeyul felt a strong desire to win coming from deep in his heart.
I had personally seen Paeyul, a military officer of the Yanwi, also known as the Judge, Judge, and Judge. One day, when the Yeon clan and his wife were dancing at the Murim Alliance’s inner training hall, he was also there.
Yeonwi’s martial arts was completely different from what Paeyul pursued. At first glance, the orthodox swordsmanship, which pursues the perfection of sharp swordsmanship rather than the killing power of martial arts that maintains formality and dignity, seemed frustrating at first glance.
However, the strength of the sword hidden in that frustration was so great that it was shocking. The pressure of a thousand pounds in one sword and one sword. It was a perfect sword technique that destroyed Yeon Ho-jeong’s extremely practical martial arts skills from the root.
‘and.’
Pae-yul’s eyes landed on Yeon Ho-jeong.
‘That guy’s martial arts skills were even more impressive as he disrupted Yeongaju’s iron-clad swordsmanship and used thorough killing techniques.’
It is Yeonhojeong rather than Yeonwi.
I wanted to fight Yeonwi, but I really wanted to compete with Yeonhojeong several times.
It was not simply because Yeonhojeong’s martial arts skills were practical. Watching Yeon Ho-jeong fight, I felt an overwhelming emotion that made my hands sweat for some reason.
He was a man who was born with the temperament of a fighter. However, he also had the temperament of a warrior who would do anything to kill his enemies.
‘It’s just like me.’
Jeomchang’s martial arts skills are among the most practical among the nine schools.
And Paeyul was one of the people who believed in the practical martial arts to the extreme. Cheokgang was also walking that path, but at a different depth.
‘I want to fight.’
The drowsiness and emptiness that had been radiating from his whole body disappeared as if washed away. Pae-yul’s eyes became hotter as he looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
“But for what reason… Ah! Please come in first. “I will treat you to a cup of tea.”
“Okay. “I’ll be there soon.”
“Oh yeah.”
“Anyway, are you busy?”
“Not at all.”
“The internal injuries haven’t healed yet?”
“There is a little bit left, but I think it will be completely cured in 10 days.”
“okay?”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin.
‘I guess that’s a bit like that.’
This was a mission to minimize damage to our troops and to delve into the relationship between Yangcheon and the three religions in detail.
However, no matter how confident you are, there are bound to be limits to how well you can get things done. This means that you must come forward with someone you trust.
It’s good to work with someone with outstanding skills. But more than that, your hands and feet must match. This mission was such a mission.
‘Besides, you shouldn’t be caught using white sword martial arts.’
Of course, as there are all kinds of groups gathered in the Heukdo martial arts world, there are also many people who use the martial arts of the right faction.
Still, it’s best not to use it if possible. This is because there is no benefit in drawing attention to something for no reason.
From that perspective, Cheokgang was perfect. This is because the martial arts of the Jeomchang school were particularly practical, and if modified slightly, they would look like the martial arts of the Sa school.
‘but.’
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Cheok Gang’s face.
Although he had become quite mature due to his previous missions, he still had a boyish look on his face. Unlike his rough hands, his gentle eyes are truly impressive.
‘Cheokgang is a guy who will jump into the sea of fire without hesitation if it’s my order. In that respect, it would be nice to be together…’
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed inwardly.
‘I guess it won’t work either.’
I thought I had to take Cheokgang with me, but when I saw his face like this, I changed my mind.
‘He’s qualified in every way, but if he makes a mistake, he could die.’
When Cheokgang’s fever rises, his field of vision narrows. Depending on the situation, it may be a wonderful advantage, but in this mission, it will act as a fatal disadvantage.
“no. “I guess I said something pointless.”
“why? “What’s going on?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“I was given a mission. “It’s not a mission for the Death and Death Army, but a mission I won alone.”
“Huh? “What kind of mission is it?”
“It’s a bit dangerous. “I have to delve into the dark island.”
Cheok Gang’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.
“Black sword?”
“okay. “It’s a solo mission, but we’re recruiting people to join us, but as expected, you won’t be able to do it.”
“why? why? Am I okay? Internal injuries can be repaired within five days if you pay more attention, right? “Is it true?”
Yeon Ho-jeong stroked Cheok Gang’s head.
Cheokgang made a noise like a crow.
“There is something more important than martial arts. “I’m not doing this because you’re lacking in skills, so there’s nothing to hurt your pride.”
Cheokang sticks out his mouth unevenly.
“If that’s the case, why did you come all the way here?”
“Ugh, that’s right.”
Yeon Ho-jeong tapped his shoulder.
“Anyway, I’m resting for a while. “Don’t forget to practice.”
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to turn around, suddenly looked at the window on the second floor of Cheok Gang’s residence. Paeyul was looking down at him there.
Yeon Ho-jeong bowed his head without saying a word. He took his own example from his senior.
It was then.
Paralarak!
In an instant, Paeyul jumped out of the window and landed in front of the gate.
There was a look of puzzlement on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.
“Seniors?”
It’s different from when I saw it at the Murimmaeng gate. Knowing how to distinguish between construction and construction.
Paeyul asked in a calm voice.
“You received a mission?”
“That’s right.”
“It wouldn’t be an ordinary mission for someone as dangerous as you.”
“It’s very dangerous.”
“What mission?”
Yeon Ho-jeong quenched his appetite.
“sorry. “I can’t tell you.”
This is a completely public matter. No matter how senior he was at Moorim, he couldn’t readily tell me about public affairs.
“is it.”
Paeyul nodded.
“Anyway, I guess the reason you came to Kang was because you thought that guy would be of some help, right?”
“Yes, but.”
A look of puzzlement appeared on Yeon Ho-jeong’s face. I wondered why the man, whom I had only met once and had never been friends with, kept doing this.
Paeyul spoke directly.
“I don’t know what that mission is, but I want to join it.”
“yes?”
“why? “Do you think I’m not good enough?”
Why is this guy like this all of a sudden?
Yeon Ho-jeong suppressed the rising questions and answered.
“That’s right.”
Paeyul’s eyebrows twitched.
“In what part? “I don’t think you want to say that your skills are lacking.”
“Is that possible? However, this mission requires many factors other than skill. “When I think about it that way, I don’t think you are suitable for this mission.”
“I want to hear why.”
“There is a separate person in command of this mission, but I am the one in charge of the actual work. And we need someone who can respond immediately to orders given.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled bitterly.
“Senior, would you be able to jump into danger without even looking back at the order of a very young junior?”
Paeyul had no answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong lowered his head.
“I’ll see you later. then.”
He passed by Paeyul and opened the front door.
It was then.
“It hurts your pride to listen to orders from a distant junior, even if you are performing an official duty.”
“…?”
“But if it’s someone who beats me, it’s a different story.”
Yeon Ho-jeong paused for a moment.
Crumbling. Crumbling.
A wild energy wave was rising from behind, like a wild beast.
“When it comes to winning, there is no one as clean as me. If you defeat me, I will follow your orders without hesitation, at least for this mission. “If you want to die, you can actually die instead of just pretending to die.”
“…!!”
“What do you think? Would you like to have a fight with me?”
