Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor - Chapter 317
Episode 317
King Kwon and I stood facing each other in the center of the huge training hall.
‘It’s a unique type of gym.’
In a typical training hall, various measures were taken to prevent outsiders from looking inside.
Such as placing sharp iron bars on a high wall or placing security guards.
But here it was the opposite.
It looked like the Yongbong branch meeting hall, with tiered seating along the wall.
Should it really be said to be a huge martial arts power that occupied the top spot of the five major families?
There were all sorts of things within the family’s grounds.
‘You’ve gathered a lot in that short period of time.’
The seats were filled with Hwang Bose family’s gasols.
Among them were some faces I recognized.
Kwon Ryong (拳龍) Hwang Bo-jin.
Sega’s elder Hwang Bo-kyung.
He had an ill-fated relationship with Hwang Bo-jin before the Yongbong Branch was held, and he and Hwang Bo-gyeong visited Nanman together as a delegation.
Hwang Bo-jin was looking at me with not-so-nice eyes.
The very uncomfortable expression on his face seemed to be asking, ‘Why are you having a dance with the Lord of the House of Lords?’
King Hwang Bo-gak said, cracking his neck with a loud sound.
“First, we have to decide on the conditions for victory or defeat.”
“…….”
“Three hundred sums. If you can hold out for three hundred sums, I will assume you lost. “How is it?”
Are you saying that even 300 won is too much to subdue a distant junior?
I burst out laughing as I watched King Kwon unhesitatingly set conditions that were unfavorable to him.
“great.”
I nodded without much resistance.
There was no reason to refuse.
If one side had admitted defeat or wanted to fight until they collapsed, my side would have demanded correction, citing fairness.
The opponent is an absolute expert who holds the first place in the Ten Heavenly Emperors.
I had to deal with such a person within the framework of Bimura.
‘If it’s real, it’s possible to create variables in some way.’
If it was a sparring purely based on skill, I had no hope.
Therefore, there was a need to impose restrictions.
“Since the Lord of the House of Lords has set the rules, may I decide the price of the bet?”
“bet?”
“If you’re going to have a secret dance, wouldn’t it be better to make a small bet at the same time?”
“Sounds like fun. What would you bet?”
“If I lose in Bimu, I will give you a thousand gold coins.”
“…!”
“On the other hand, if I win, the head of the Taesang family will come forward and help me with the relocation plan.”
“her.”
Hwang Bo-gak bursts into laughter as if he is shocked.
No matter how you look at it, it was definitely not a light bet.
The atmosphere in the training hall suddenly calmed down.
Piercing gazes poured in from all directions.
The Gasols of the Hwangbo Family were glaring at me with cold eyes.
It was a natural reaction.
It seems that the junior, who should have politely asked for guidance, is not afraid to challenge him.
‘You wanted to have a fight with me to the point where you risked your master, so you will accept this level of provocation, right?’
To the middle school students, it might seem like I was making rude remarks, but that didn’t really matter.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Shouldn’t provocation be repaid with provocation?
Hwang Bo-gak said while taking a leisurely stance.
“Let’s make concessions to the players.”
“I understand that you have accepted it.”
Slurp.
The sword that came out of its scabbard let out a cold light.
Several onlookers who recognized the value of the famous sword let out soft exclamations.
‘They said they would give up the player, but there’s no need to move in a hurry.’
I leisurely hovered around Hwang Bo-gak, waiting for an opportunity.
Hwang Bo-gak stood in place like a stone statue and waited for me to attack.
The shimmering energy on the surface of the sword rose and formed a clear shape.
The manifestation of Geomgang.
A heavy energy wave spread around me and Hwangbogak and encroached on the entire area.
A suffocating silence fell on the training ground.
That too for a while.
Empty!
I kicked off the ground and ran straight towards Hwangbo-gak.
Just before the sharp sword tip touches the side.
Hwang Bo-gak, who rotated the new model halfway as if he had been waiting, lightly pushed Geogwal away with his left hand.
At the same time, he extended his right fist and aimed at my face.
Paang!
The sound of waves rang in my ears.
I narrowly avoided the attack by tilting my head back, but instead of retreating, I narrowed the gap even further.
The sword attack was just a bait.
The real goal is this.
He let go of his hand holding the sword and threw out his fists one after another, hitting Hwang Bo-gak’s upper body.
Puff puff!
Quad deud deuk!
Hwang Bo-gak was pushed back by an unexpected attack, leaving long marks on the ground.
I grabbed the handle out of the air before it hit the ground.
‘You seem surprised.’
Hwang Bo-gak’s expression was quite worth seeing.
He was blinking as he looked down at the torn clothes.
Even if there was no actual damage, pride would inevitably be hurt.
It was in front of Gasol watching.
You confidently said you would give up a player, but you lost face from the beginning. How embarrassing must it be for you.
‘It was a risky gamble, though.’
It achieved some significant results.
In order to embarrass an absolute expert, it was necessary to do something like this.
Puff poop!
Hwang Bo-gak suddenly punched the air.
A powerful force flew through the space, destroying the place where I had been standing just a moment ago.
I spread out the ghost beam and moved it quickly and irregularly while spraying the Wolyeonggeom’s herbivores.
April, the twelfth herbivorous month.
The 21st herbivorous month (敗月).
The illusion of a sword fluttering like a dance obscured Hwang Bo-gak’s vision, and dozens of strands of sword energy swept over the place where he stood.
The ground turned over and a cloud of dust rose.
The next moment, Hwang Bo-gak came out of the dust cloud and hit my new model roughly.
“Big!”
Unable to hold on, I was thrown away and groaned as I regained my balance in the air.
Even though I had prepared in advance, the shock seeped into my bones.
If he hadn’t put brain protection equipment on top of his self-defense equipment, he would have suffered internal injuries.
pop! pop! pop!
In order to avoid Hwang Bo-gak, who kept following him, he continued to move by kicking the spheres of Noegi.
At the same time, they swung their swords in all directions as if performing a sword dance.
The eleventh herbivorous month.
A thin remnant was left in the air following the sword’s trajectory.
Most of the remnants were bare grass, but some were real grass.
If used properly, it could be used to keep the opponent from blindly narrowing the gap.
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!
As I somehow managed to shake off the chase and widen the distance, a torrential downpour of attacking fists poured down again.
I clicked my tongue as I launched the new model straight to the left.
‘There’s no time to catch my breath.’
Indeed, an absolute master was an absolute master.
He was never someone to be taken lightly.
If I let go of my tension, a thousand gold coins might just evaporate.
bang!
Hwang Bo-gak, who had tied down my movements with a long-distance check, immediately narrowed the distance and forced me to engage in close combat.
‘If the gap is widened, attacks will pour out in heaps, and if we are tied up in checks, the distance will narrow again.’
As I was frantically taking a step back, I clicked my tongue inwardly.
It was a simple tactic, but that made it even more difficult.
Absolutely!
Brain energy was overlaid on the steel energy that surrounded the surface of the sword.
The moment Geogeol, engulfed in white electricity, made contact with his fist, a tremendous explosion engulfed the entire area.
Kwaaaaang!
* * *
‘Is this possible?’
Hwang Bo-gak, the head of the Hwang Bo-sega family, muttered with an embarrassed expression.
I began to wonder if the man in front of me was really Jisoo, who had not yet even grown up.
‘They say he is the greatest genius in the history of Moorim.’
I had heard and knew that Cheonryong single-handedly defeated the Blood Witch.
But wasn’t it said that it was possible only by borrowing the power of Geumgong?
wickedness!
Something invisible and sharp cut into the sleeve of Yeonsun’s clothes.
If it were an ordinary warrior, he might have been intimidated, but Yeonsun didn’t even blink.
‘It is certainly. This guy.’
The location of the conscious energy is accurately understood.
Rather than leaving his position or protecting himself with self-defense weapons, he was dodging all attacks with a margin of a piece of paper.
It was impossible for anyone to perform such a skill unless they were one of the highest-ranking fire fighters.
‘Have we already taken one step to the next level?’
My back felt chilly.
A divinity who has surpassed absolute heights while only in his mid-twenties.
I couldn’t even guess how far the young man in front of me would have grown ten years from now.
‘If I do it wrong, I might really lose.’
Hwang Bo-gak, who felt a sense of crisis, gave off explosive momentum and put pressure on Yeon-woon.
Every time I extended my fist, the ground cracked and the air distorted.
The aftermath of the fight was so great that some of the spectators watching the sparring groaned and left their seats.
‘I know that you have great talent. But it’s not crazy enough for me yet!’
Suddenly Yeonsun lost his balance and stumbled.
The only way to use Uihyungganggi was to hit the opponent.
It could be used in a variety of ways depending on the caster’s capabilities.
For example, targeting the blind spot of consciousness to form an obstacle under the opponent’s feet.
Wow!
Finally, Hwang Bo-gak’s fist hit Yeon-woon precisely in the abdomen.
Yeonsun, who was coughing up blood and flying away, rolled around on the ground unsightly.
Everyone watching thought it had come to a conclusion.
“…….”
Except for Hwang Bo-gak, the person who attacked.
He narrowed his eyes and looked down at his hands.
The index finger was bent over the back of the hand.
‘What have you done?’
It was a blow that could not be avoided, blocked, or parried.
I’m sure it was.
When I came to my senses, I realized that I was also injured.
“Ugh.”
Yeon-woon lets out a faint groan and helps Shin-hyeong stand up.
Strangely enough, despite having been hit so hard, he looked unharmed.
He coughed slightly, brushed off the dust from his clothes, and narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
“There are sixty sums left.”
“…….”
* * *
Hwang Bo-jin, who was watching Bimu, rubbed his eyes with both hands.
I simply could not accept the situation in front of me.
I thought it was a fight with a clear outcome, but Cheonryong was doing well, contrary to everyone’s expectations.
‘I knew it was a monster, but.’
Anyway, I never thought it would be like this.
What kind of late-season index in the world can withstand more than 200 points against an absolute expert?
‘The gap has widened to this extent?’
After being humiliated by Cheonryong in Honam, he worked hard to improve his skills.
After much effort and vomiting blood, I was finally able to reach the pinnacle of excellence.
Now, even within the family, he is recognized as a strong man in name and reality who does not have many enemies.
‘Still, I thought we might have caught up to some extent.’
It was a mistake.
Cheonryong had already become a superman, standing shoulder to shoulder with the best warriors of Martial Arts.
My shoulders lost strength due to a sense of dejection.
What kind of effort have you made so far?
Meanwhile, Hwang Bo-kyung, who was sitting on the opposite seat and watching the dance, was secretly smiling at the corners of her mouth.
[…So, you were thinking of taking advantage of Jeol Young-gaek’s situation and taking him under your command?] [
That’s right.]
[You were the one who did something, so you should take responsibility.] [
Of course, I plan to do that. ]
[Remember this. You owe me something.]
The conversation I had with Yeonsun in the past passed through my mind.
As expected, his eyes were not wrong.
This is why people had to know how to see the future and invest.
* * *
The twenty-second herbivorous first month.
The moon on a frosty night.
Countless particles of energy scattered like frost.
I said something to Hwang Bo-gak, who stopped in place and was taking a deep breath.
“Three hundred sums. It’s over.”
“…….”
“I guess I won the bet.”
