Dark and Light Martial Emperor - Chapter 530
Episode 530
Hundred Soldiers’ Divine Eyes (5)
“Wow!”
Hwang Seok-tae suddenly stood up.
My body reacted before my head. Knowing that now is not the time to lie down.
“Are you awake already? “Ganggol is Ganggol.”
Surprised, Hwang Seok-tae looked to the side.
There, Yeon Ho-jeong was cutting fruit with a small knife and biting into it.
“Looking at his condition, he seems to have been practicing his killing techniques. And that too until daybreak.”
“….”
“I trained ignorantly. “If you continue to practice carelessly like that, your life will be in danger.”
Hwang Seok-tae said calmly.
“If you want to become stronger, you have to risk your life. “Isn’t that so?”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“The statement itself is not wrong. But you have to put your life on the line. “It’s not bad to practice bumping into each other, but you need to think carefully and keep various possibilities in mind before engaging in high-risk practice.”
“I…”
“You are the leader of the Iron Knights, leading 1,000 cavalry, right? “If you collapse, your subordinates will also lose their way.”
Hwang Seok-tae looked at Yeon Ho-jeong in silence.
Yeon Ho-jeong shrugged his shoulders.
“Are you jealous of me?”
“what?”
“You say you want to emulate my martial arts skills?”
For an instant, Hwang Seok-tae’s face turned red.
When I heard those words, I remembered what I had said before I collapsed. These words were uttered without my knowledge, as if possessed by something.
But he didn’t say no. It was embarrassing, but it was true.
“The ideals pursued may be the same. “It’s just that you got there first.”
Still, his pride seemed to have been hurt. Hwang Seok-tae’s remarks sounded somewhat like an excuse.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“Don’t be mistaken. “My martial arts ideal is different from yours.”
“different?”
“The spearmanship you saw of me is only a part of my martial arts.”
“…?!”
“I am the type of person who will assassinate you if necessary. If it serves a purpose, you can even do fine work. But you are not that kind of person.”
“….”
“Martial arts is just one of the means to achieve my goal. Of course, it has achieved great value in my life, but it is not a life where I risk my life on martial arts alone.”
Hwang Seok-tae’s eyes wavered.
This is the first time I have seen someone say that even though he is a martial artist, he does not risk his life for martial arts. Regardless of interests, there must have been a lot of thought before actually saying such a thing.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“That means you don’t have to catch up with my martial arts skills. You are strong enough now. “The important thing is to create your own martial arts.”
“I have no intention of catching up with you. “It’s just that the spear skills I saw at that time were in line with my ideal.”
“Then conversation will be easier.”
Yeon Ho-jeong stood up.
“I had Ildaeju send a letter to the Mukryongbu.”
“what?”
“There are three more days. Find your own martial arts style for three days. “We will definitely leave in the morning three days later.”
“You did that without consulting me…!”
“Let’s not act too petty. Anyway, I am the one in charge of this mission. “Aren’t you here to help me?”
Hwang Seok-tae sighed.
“I will train you separately in the Cheolgi area for three days. “I will do it without causing confusion in the Iron Team’s unique formation, so don’t worry too much and ask a special instructor to learn from you.”
“Special instructor?”
Yeon Ho-jeong pointed out the window with his thumb.
Hwang Seok-tae saw that place.
‘…!!’
Beyond the window, Makwon and Paeyul were having a heated discussion. The one who usually asked was Paeyul, and the one who explained was Makwon.
“Senior Makwon?!”
“That’s right.”
Hwang Seok-tae was embarrassed.
“But I…”
“Why? Do you have a separate teacher? Or did the Mukryongbu prohibit learning martial arts from others?”
“…Not really.”
“Get rid of unnecessary interests. “What’s important now is how desperate you are.”
Yeon Ho-jeong turned around.
“The training in the Cheolgi area will last for three days. “Make sure you know that.”
“….”
“I’m telling you clearly, don’t waste your time worrying about unnecessary things. “If it were me, I would run to that gentleman right away and ask for guidance.”
Yeonhojeong opened the door.
At that time, Hwang Seok-tae urgently asked.
“Can we reach it?”
“hmm?”
“Do you think I can pioneer the martial arts I want even if I learn from Senior Makwon instead of you? Do you think you can get there?”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.
“If you want to know how cold the cold wind of winter is, you have to experience the scorching sun of summer.”
“….”
“No matter what the teachings are, you are the one who digests them and internalizes them. Moreover, he is Baekbyeongshingun. “If you think that the teachings of such a big man are not suitable for the martial arts you pursue, then your skills are limited to that.”
thud.
Yeonhojeong closed the door and left.
Although the words were strangely provocative, Hwang Seok-tae was not angry. This is because he knew that Yeon Ho-jeong’s words came from the heart and were truly out of consideration for him.
‘No matter what I learn, it is ultimately my responsibility to apply what I have learned…’
After a while, Hwang Seok-tae approached Makwon and Paeyul.
“Are you okay with the time?”
“hmm.”
Makwon looked at Paeyul.
Paeyul stood up from his seat.
“Even three days is not enough. “It means embodying the correction of a senior.”
He glanced at Hwang Seok-tae.
“It will be tight even for seniors.”
Paeyul left those words and went into the forest.
Makwon chuckled.
“That person is very good at saying things he doesn’t mean.”
Makwon, who had been laughing for a while, looked at Hwang Seok-tae.
“I heard something from Deputy Yeon separately.”
“Are you okay?”
“what?”
Hwang Seok-tae spoke in a hesitant tone.
“I respect my senior, but I can’t be his student…”
“Hey junior. “It’s not like I’m going to teach you my martial arts skills, so why do you think I’m your teacher?”
“yes?”
Makwon stood up smiling cheerfully.
“Pick up your spear and follow me. “It will be so hard that you will want to die for three days.”
From that day on, Yeon Ho-jeong began training alone in the Cheolgi area, Makwon with Hwang Seok-tae, and Paeyul alone.
It was a strange relationship. Although their relationship was intertwined due to a mission, they were all heavenly warriors. That is why this type of training meeting was possible.
The Cheolgi team poured blood and sweat to embody the strategic tactics taught by Yeon Ho-jeong, and Paeyul frantically accelerated his martial arts correction after discovering an unexpected loophole in Guan Il-gong.
And Hwang Seok-tae was enduring training that required extreme mental strength in order to make the teachings of Makwon, the strongman of Seongcheon, his own.
Although it was only three days, it was enough time for each person to build a solid foundation.
They were putting their feet up on another step. Everyone was like that, no matter who they were.
And ten days have passed.
* * *
“My lord. Special Deputy Yeon Ho-jeong and….”
“Come on in.”
He speaks before the white paper even finishes speaking.
It hasn’t been that long since Yang Cheon showed signs of being in such a hurry. There was also a hint of excitement.
After a while.
Kugugoogung.
The door to Daejeon opened and two people entered.
An ecstatic glow appeared on Yang Chen’s face.
‘at las.’
Although he was in complete control of himself, even if he controlled his prayers, he could not kill his original existence.
Even Yeonhojeong of the world felt buried by that strong presence. There were dozens of types of predictions read in the recorded prayers.
One person is emitting dozens of different predictions at every moment.
It was truly a unique presence. It had an eerie coolness, as if it had a hundred weapons hidden inside its body.
“Nice to meet you.”
Makwon, standing in the middle of the red carpet, straightened his back proudly.
Even when facing Yang Cheon, a strong man of the Holy Heaven and one of the Immortal Emperors, he does not bow his head or bend his back.
It was so confident and also extremely natural. Even in the face of Yang Cheon’s terrifying presence, he is unaffected.
“This is Baek Byeong-shin’s last resort. “See you, Lord Mukryong.”
Yang Chen smiled.
“Welcome.”
Although there was quite a difference in age, it was still polite to treat each other with respect when meeting for the first time.
But Yang Chen didn’t do that, and Mo Yuan didn’t seem to care either. Even though it was our first time seeing each other, it felt like we were alumni who had known each other for a long time.
“I’ve heard of Tuwang’s reputation for a long time, but it’s beyond my imagination.”
“Isn’t it bad?”
“It’s not bad. “I knew it, but I still had a long way to go.”
“Hehe, that’s too much humility. Your martial arts skills are truly strong and unique. “If I want to compete with you, I too will have to risk my life.”
It was incredibly overrated.
It was a remark that could have been made because the opponents were from the three armies and were bound by the same Seongcheon name.
Makwon took command with moderation.
“Before we talk, thank you for saving my life.”
“This guy. Where did I save your life? “Your benefactor is by your side.”
It was said about Yeonhojeong.
Makwon nodded.
“Of course, Deputy Yeon is my benefactor. However, it might have been difficult if Deputy Yeon was alone. Of course, it is also thanks to the careless bravery of the Iron Knights who granted permission. “I don’t know how to repay this favor.”
“Don’t you know?”
Yang Cheon continued speaking with a calm expression.
“You already know how to repay that favor. “Isn’t that right?”
Makwon laughed bitterly.
“They said the real benefactor was Deputy Yeon, but now they’re telling me to repay the favor.”
“You say I’m your benefactor too? So that’s it. “Let’s not worry about the little things.”
He’s a strange person.
Makwon thought. He said that Yang Cheon was a much friendlier person than he expected.
I heard through rumors that Tuwang Yangcheon was the most rough person in the central region. If anything, the Byeolho is also a fighting king. Yang Cheon was a man famous for his fearsome martial arts skills that left no trace of flesh on his enemies with his crazy fighting skills.
But seeing it in person, it was very different from the rumors.
‘Maybe he’s just as rumored. However, if he hides his true nature so well, does it mean that the author’s courage is that big?’
Makwon nodded.
“I heard everything from Deputy Yeon. “It’s about forming an alliance with the Murim League and how the Meng and Bu fought against the Three Religions.”
“Oh really?”
Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.
“Even after hearing all that, I came all the way here… I think it’s safe to think of him as a comrade in arms. is not it?”
As expected, it was Yangcheon. I knew well the weight of Yeon Ho-jeong’s words.
Makwon quenched his appetite.
“Comrade in arms… You can call me whatever you want. As a result, I also became incompatible with the three religions.”
“Hehehe.”
Yang Chen, who got up from the Great Temple, walked down the stairs and grabbed both of Mo Yuan’s hands.
“Thank you. thank you so much. “I will do my best to prove that your decision was the right one.”
Makwon was inwardly embarrassed. I had no idea that Yang Cheon would show such a humane side.
At that time, Yeon Ho-jeong spoke.
“Don’t be fooled, senior. “Our vice-lord is a fraud with a thousand faces.”
“This person.”
Yangcheon complained to Yeonhojeong in a friendly voice that he didn’t usually use.
“You’re not saying that to the person involved.”
“It’s not wrong.”
“You’re all good, but you always participate when you have to.”
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
“Anyway, you two will have a lot to talk about. I’ll go and rest first.”
“I know.”
“then.”
“Adjutant Yeon.”
“yes.”
“You really worked hard.”
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and turned around.
‘Good to die.’
I can’t remember the last time I saw Yang Cheon smile like that.
“Now then, let me go and meet the troublemakers.”
