Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 639
[ Chapter 639 ] White Night
It was around the time we were passing through the forest that the incident occurred.
“Ha ha… ha…”
It was built to camp after passing through the forest road to Hanam.
Leaving behind the wagon waving a red flag, we went a little deeper into the woods.
“Whoa…”
A place where the valley water gently flows behind the gravel field. A woman is on her half-knee.
Awesome–!
The woman is barely holding on with her sword as a staff.
“…Ha…Huh…”
Swoop.
The blonde woman gasped wildly and wiped away the sweat.
Her vision is blurry and her body looks exhausted at any moment.
She’s not just what she looks like.
she knew the woman
Her body had already reached its limit, and it would not be strange if she collapsed right away, she said.
But she couldn’t knock the woman down.
Standing in front of a figure who would at least be in the front, she couldn’t fall down like this.
“Turn it off…”
Barely letting go of her moans, the woman pulled herself up.
Her whole body aches.
She has been like this ever since she started traveling, not traveling.
I have no regrets.
All she did was what women wanted.
“after….”
Trying to calm her restless breathing, the woman puts her hands together.
She hid the tremors and took the example with her hand.
“…thank you… for the teaching.”
“hmm.”
blonde woman.
In response to Wi Seol-ah’s greeting, the person in front nodded her head.
The gravel fields have long since been all messed up.
Although the long, rough sword-like scars were visible, the ground agitated by the aftermath of the storm caught my eye.
Only the space where the man is standing is intact.
It was as if a violent typhoon had passed.
It was the only paradise there.
Wei Seol-ah swallowed her saliva while watching it.
‘…it didn’t reach me at all.’
She wielded it so relentlessly.
Her sword couldn’t even move her opponent one step, let alone reach.
How far does the level difference go?
oh oh oh…
Whoa-!
The name of the sword remained on the sword stuck in the floor.
It’s been a while since her energy was retrieved, but the blade was still vibrating.
This meant Wi Seol-ah’s level as a swordsman was high, but even that would have been meaningless to her opponent anyway.
“It is colorless to call it teaching. Soju wouldn’t have felt anything.”
Wei Seol-ah swallowed her dry saliva at the man’s heavy voice.
“…sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to ask for her apology. That’s exactly what it means.”
snap.
Leaving behind her pile of pebbles, a giant man. Goo Cheol-woon moves slowly.
She was facing Wi Seol-ah.
“There seems to be no point in dividing sums any more. Sojeo is well aware of this.”
“…”
Wi Seol-ah had to bite her lip at Goo Cheol-woon’s words.
Even if there is a difference, there is too much difference.
There is no more lesson to be learned from dividing sums.
Wi Seol-ah sighed inwardly at the words of the cold-heartedly clear Gucheolun.
“thanked. She received many opportunities from the family head.”
Her choice was recognition.
At that, Goo Cheol-woon nodded her head.
Then she said to Wi Seol-ah.
“I don’t know what Sozer is thinking. If you want more than that. Perhaps you should visit your grandfather.”
“…”
Wi Seol-ah’s eyes tremble at Gu Cheol-woon’s words.
It’s because of the talk about her grandfather.
Wi Seol-ah could not easily give an answer to Gu Cheol-woon’s words.
“hmm.”
Seeing this, Gu Cheol-woon does not show any reaction and continues to walk.
She didn’t ask for an answer in the first place.
It’s just part of her advice.
It was the opponent’s decision whether or not to do this.
Goo Cheol-woon, who was moving his steps, suddenly looked around.
In a quiet and desolate forest.
It has been about ten days since I started the trip.
How long do you have left to reach your destination?
It wouldn’t have stayed that long.
At best, there are less than seven days and nights left.
‘Is it Hanam?’
Gu Cheol-woon grasps the destination he is heading to and takes out a letter from inside.
It was a letter from Maeng, and to be precise, it was a letter about a big event to be held in a few months.
Shinryong Martial Arts.
A large festival of warriors held by the League.
Gu Cheol-woon’s expression after reading the letter about this was calm, but there was heat in one of his eyes.
Are you interested in Yije and Mutuje?
It can’t be.
For Goo Cheol-woon, that is meaningless.
this is just
‘indeed.’
What will the child look like?
It was just interesting.
Gu Cheol-woon, who thought of his only son like that.
“My lord.”
I shifted my gaze to the sound I heard in front of me.
Standing there was a woman with her little body and slightly raised eyebrows.
She was the second Gu Yeon-seo of the San Seo-gu family.
She speaks to Goo Cheol-woon with a somewhat hesitant expression and a small voice.
“They say the meal is ready… I was wondering if you would like to eat it together…”
Goo Cheol-woon nodded his head without any reaction to the characteristic behavior of looking at him.
“Go soon.”
“ah…! yes!”
Goo Yeon-seo’s expression brightens at Goo Cheol-woon’s answer.
Goo Cheol-woon had to feel a strange feeling at the reaction he showed.
Among the many emotions, the one that is exceptionally big is probably.
He will be a reproach to himself.
much less
‘Suddenly.’
I wanted the time to come gradually.
He was trying to delay it somehow, but what Goo Cheol-woon couldn’t bear to catch and prevent was time.
the time comes
‘The child has exceeded the terms and conditions.’
The time to give the place of Sogaju to the Gu family was gradually approaching.
‘It’s not easy.’
whatever it is He is open to what he has done and what he has done, so nothing is easy.
That was the thought.
Whoa-.
The wind that blows is warm.
Warm air mixed with the seasons as if to prove that it is still summer.
Goo Cheol-woon feels this and tries to move slowly.
Ugh-!
stop.
Goo Cheol-woon stopped walking at the vibration he felt in his chest.
He immediately grabbed something from his chest and pulled it out.
It was a yellow lucky bag that Goo Cheol-woon held in his big hand.
He grabs his pocket with a rather hasty gesture unlike usual and tears it apart.
Jjiik-!
The fabric was torn like paper, and the object inside floated into the air.
red jade beads.
Seeing this, Goo Cheol-woon’s brow furrowed.
The name of the bead is the jade of your company (貴思).
It is one of the eight ghosts owned by the Gu family, and it was given to Mi Hyo-ran, his first wife, by Cheol-Woon Gu himself.
Your company’s jade has two powers.
One of them is that the marbles react when someone with the same marble blows a bet.
and.
Goo Chul-woon told Mi Hyo-ran to use it in a dangerous situation.
She would not, by her nature, do anything that would put her in danger.
‘The thing that shines at the same time.’
Kwak.
Goo Cheol-woon grabs the marble.
Knock-!
For an instant, the pebbles placed around his feet shook slightly.
It seems that things are taking a rather drastic turn.
Goo Cheol-woon thinks as he slowly warms up his body.
Fortunately, the orb had other powers besides sending signals to opponents.
The second force is that.
Knock-!
He crushed the marble that Gu Cheol-woon was holding.
OK. Fire-! In an instant, Gu Cheol-woon’s body was engulfed in flames.
“Oh, my lord. And… Huh?”
When Gu Yeon-seo, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at Gu Cheol-woon.
No one was standing on the gravel field where he stood.
******************
Krrrr….
With the sound of crying echoing around, the giant body shakes and his knees fall to his knees.
Koo-!!
Knees knelt, making the ground vibrate.
half of his waist from his left shoulder.
The monster collapses with most of its muzzle gone.
A body that could not be penetrated even if the three warriors of Hwagyeong and one of the fully matured warriors broke the curtain and tried to damage the inside.
It fell so easily.
Karrureuk…!!
A guy who cries in pain.
Seeing this, Pajon Biju suddenly burst into laughter.
“her. It’s also boring.”
It wouldn’t be strange if he died instantly, as long as half of his upper body was blown away, but he was still howling.
It was really tough and interesting life force.
funny thing.
‘More than that eccentric guy.’
It must be that there is someone who made such a monster into that form in one blow.
Bijou shifted her gaze and looked to his side.
It was because the culprit was standing right next to me.
A man walked by, trampling on the snow.
He was no more than an arm’s length and had broad shoulders.
Of course, a red robe with a gold frame fluttering in the wind.
hey hey hey…..
The arm radiating heat along the right shoulder line, and at the same time, the hair gradually turning red.
“haha.”
Biju, who saw this, laughed as if it was absurd.
His face was smiling, but his body was in the exact opposite state.
Goosebumps were sprouting on his forearms. An unknown cold sweat was flowing on Bijoo’s back.
Just by looking at it, the body is wary.
Such was the impression Bijou felt.
‘Anyway, those surnames all have different arks.’
Anyone passing by now seemed to have already reached the heavens and was called a monster.
no maybe
‘Even if I get my skills back, I won’t be able to predict the outcome.’
It seems that he is still in his prime so far.
This is unknown.
He couldn’t be sure of anything, as he had gone to the point where he couldn’t feel.
back.
I seized and suppressed the sense of goodwill rising from within.
He looked at the strong man without notice, and he kept trying to raise his speculation.
‘Why the hell is the author here?’
Guardian of Shanxi.
Cheon Oe Cheon, whom Maeng tacitly tolerates.
A close friend’s child and a disciple’s father.
and.
‘perhaps.’
A person who may have reached transcendence.
Hohyeop (虎俠) Koo Chul-woon.
He walked slowly and stood next to Biju.
Saaaa-!
I’m thirsty for the heat I feel.
Somehow, the cold air that had risen had gone and only hot air was hovering around.
“You used a slightly uncomfortable method.”
Biju smiled at the heavy voice.
It was because he knew what Cheolwoon Gu was talking about.
‘Looks like they got caught.’
Thinking of that, Bijoo looks at Goo Cheol-wun.
Goo Cheol-woon was just staring straight ahead without looking at Bijoo.
Seeing this, Biju said.
“I was somewhat rude because I didn’t show up very often. I’m sorry.”
I don’t know since when Gu Cheol-woon was here, but Biju knew that he was watching the situation.
So, I did something rather silly.
He spat out a sound telling them to run away because he would stop them.
Oh, of course not the truth.
Bijou had no intention of dying at all.
As expected, the disciple with stubbornness acted like he was angry.
Such an action was just enough to draw out those who were watching.
“…father…?”
In this situation, Gu Yang-cheon speaks out as if embarrassed.
Goo Cheol-woon did not look away this time either.
All you see is the front.
Curry…!
The monster on his knees moves.
The guy was rapidly regenerating his lost body.
The flesh and bones fill up in the empty space.
It was a truly grotesque sight.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
just a few seconds
In that short time, the half of the body that had been blown away was all restored.
It’s amazing how fast it is.
When his body was restored, he immediately ran towards Gu Cheol-wun.
thud-! Kwaaaak-!
run at breakneck speed
Shiiik-!
Sharp nails pointed straight at Gu Cheol-un.
but.
Hwareuk-!
Again, the heat blew briefly.
Kwaaaak-!! pop!
Kreureuk-!?
The upper body exploded again along with the arms of the monster that was about to attack.
Traces are left on the rim of the torn flesh.
Tanned skin as if it had been burned. Again, it started playing right away.
Goo Cheol-woon, who saw that, clenched his fists as if he didn’t care.
Whiik-!
With a crude motion, he swung his fist at the guy.
Kwaaang—!!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
A wave bursts out, and the monster that was hit by the side while regenerating is staggered.
“crazy.”
Seeing this, Gu Yangchen spat out harsh words.
He barely managed to break the barrier by using all his strength and the martial arts of the image.
Hard-!
Gu Cheol-woon’s fist was breaking the guy’s defenses casually.
bang-! Quaang-!
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
In the ensuing offensive, the guy moves like a madman. Even so, he was unable to properly counterattack against Gu Cheol-woon’s blow.
thud-!
Kyaaak-!
No matter how gigantic Gu Cheol-woon is, the monster is ten times bigger than him.
As if the difference in weight class was ridiculous, the monsters were swaying one by one.
I wonder if it might have been weakened by the previous battle.
‘…That’s not right.’
It’s not that the monster’s regenerative ability or strength has decreased.
It was just a simple reason.
‘…The speed at which the curtain regenerates can’t keep up.’
If Goo Cheol-woon hits you once.
Damn-!
Even if the monster’s curtain is broken and you barely try to fill it.
bang-!
Kreurreuk-!!
It was common to break other places.
Truly one-sided violence.
What Cheolwoon Gu did to the monsters was violence.
How could that be?
‘Wasn’t the barrier broken only by the power of images?’
I thought that would be the case with the information and situations that Pazon had figured out.
what kind of situation is that now?
At the touch of Gu Cheol-woon, the gimag is being crushed.
…no way.
‘Are you saying that each attack is the power of an image?’
Does it mean that even if you don’t do anything special, the movement contains images in the first place?
If so, I wonder how it could be.
There in the first place.
‘…why is my father here?’
Why is my father here in the first place?
Yangcheon Gu was most curious about that.
Why did a nobleman, who should be in Shanxi, appear here out of nowhere?
Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Without rationality, only instinct left, the monster rushed tirelessly and thrust its fangs into Gu Cheol-wun with its twisted arm.
OK.
Kwak-!
Instead of avoiding him, Goo Cheol-woon reached out and grabbed his snout.
The extreme-!
Is the power of the monster strong? Even though Gu Cheol-woon’s body, which holds on to it, is slightly pushed back.
“hmm.”
A short whistle of breathing is heard.
Goo Cheol-woon applied strength to the hand he was holding and tore off the monster’s snout.
Chii Iik-!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The monster with its snout torn off screams in pain and struggles.
Leaping toward it, Gu Cheol-woon swung his fist again.
Back-! His fist dug into the upper body of the monster, and then Kwaang-! As the bet exploded, the body of the monster also floated in the air and flew to the back.
Woooooo!!
A large object that rose high fell to the ground, and a tremendous blizzard and vibration erupted.
“…”
Goo Yangcheon, who had checked that far, couldn’t bear to say anything.
If so, what should he say?
It’s such a shocking sight that I can’t even recall it.
“…just now….”
what did i just see?
bewildered and confused
The somewhat hopeless situation changed in an instant.
Apart from that.
‘…was my father that strong?’
I stared blankly at Gu Cheol-woon’s back.
Throwing a white monster as if it were a toy, the back that originally wanted to be big looks even bigger.
I knew from the start.
That his father is much stronger than rumors have been told.
‘A descendant of the 100 masters of the political faction?’
not even funny
If that was the lower rank of the 100 best masters of the political faction, the Great War of the Heavenly Demons should have ended with the victory of the Murim Meng.
My father was never in that position.
even.
‘He’s lost even Cheonjon.’
There was also a record of defeating Cheonjon, one of the triads, in the basement of Tang Gate.
‘Of course, even if the Cheonjon’s condition was abnormal at the time.’
Beating him is no different.
In other words, the father is compared to the triad.
perhaps.
‘It could be stronger.’
The one who fatally wounded the Heavenly Demon was his father.
In the aftermath, he was weakened by demonic energy, but he pushed the heavenly horse to the brink of death.
‘How strong is he?’
Noya said that the current world was cursed and the walls were thicker and lower than in the past.
What level would the father be in such a situation?
Where is your father’s realm?
‘Is that a place I can reach?’
Suddenly, Gu Yangchun was curious about that.
at that time.
“third.”
Goo Yangcheon trembled at the thick voice unique to Goo Cheol-woon.
“…yes.”
“How are you feeling?”
“It’s okay.”
Actually, it wasn’t all right.
The wound on his chest had been stopped with a bet, and the bowl’s energy had reached its limit as it was empty in the aftermath of using holy spears in succession.
But I didn’t spit this out.
It’s because I was embarrassed to pretend to be weak.
“is it.”
Goo Cheol-woon nodded slightly at Gu Yang-chun’s answer.
That was it.
“…”
“…”
The conversation between the father and son continued in silence for a while.
‘…I have to ask why you’re here.’
Gu Yangchun couldn’t bear to ask about it.
It wasn’t a particularly big reason.
‘I haven’t seen you since I got scolded…’
Soon after, Gu Yangchun failed and was severely injured while polishing the Infernal Jade Star Spear at Gu Family.
He got scolded by Goo Cheol-woon and we haven’t seen each other since.
He rode the gun barrel moderately and conveyed the horse, but it had been a long time since he had met in person.
He wasn’t really avoiding it on purpose…
‘…I must have avoided it.’
I didn’t think about it and corrected it right away.
He honestly avoided anything. It was a very awkward moment because of that.
When that awkward silence continues.
“third.”
The first to speak was from Gu Cheol-woon.
“yes.”
“Is that a martial art that you personally improved?”
“…?”
Just as he wondered what that meant, Gu Yang-cheon belatedly understood Gu Cheol-wun’s question.
It seemed to be a question about Yeomokseongchang.
‘Looks like you’ve seen it.’
It seems that his father saw how he improved and used the infernal jade.
‘Then how long have you been watching?’
I don’t know. I didn’t know until then.
important thing.
‘…Am I getting scolded again?’
It is that he is worried about being scolded by his father at this age.
I did what I was told not to do, so I was afraid that I would get scolded again this time.
“Good job.”
“…!”
Surprisingly, Cheolwoon Gu spat out praise.
“It wasn’t bad.”
The corners of Gu Yang-chun’s mouth go up slightly at the unexpected compliment from Goo Cheol-woon.
Realizing that, Gu Yangchen immediately turned his head and covered his mouth with his hand.
Even if he covers his mouth, the emotions that come up are clear.
It was a truly childish feeling.
I’m trying to forcefully push it away.
Fire-!
“huh?”
Gu Yangchun moved his head at the energy he felt in front of him.
It was a familiar energy.
there.
“…uh?”
Gu Cheol-woon had made an infernal jade on the palm of his hand.
A flame jade that is harder than the flame jade of Guyangcheon and has much faster power.
Did you make it to throw at a monster? I can hear that.
Whii-!
Infernal Jade gradually rotated faster.
Chick-Geek-!
“…!?”
It soon begins to change shape.
Hwaaak-!
At the same time, I felt a tremendous energy.
Geugguk-! Inferno is twisted and crushed.
Even so, it didn’t explode or become unstable.
Much finer and stronger betting control.
The eyes of Gu Yang-cheon, who was watching this, are getting stronger.
How could it not be?
There is the true form of the Yeomok Seongchang that Gu Yangchun longed for.
I made the holy spear that Gu Cheol-un had completed and held it in his hand.
I couldn’t control the explosive power, so I forcibly created a container with an image and didn’t put it in it.
A martial art that was completed by controlling only one’s own power.
Gu Cheol-woon was showing it to Gu Yang-cheon.
Goo Cheol-woon examines the holy spear in his hand carefully and then opens his mouth.
“A bit unstable and rough, though. It was a pretty good trial and result.”
As if examining each item, he tells Gu Yang-cheon his short impressions.
And then.
“Let’s keep working hard.”
After saying that, it seems that there is no regret anymore. Goo Cheol-woon retrieved the energy of the holy spear in his hand.
Anger-!
The energy of the holy spear was swept away by the air and disappeared. Gu Yangchen asked him in a trembling voice.
“…Uh…what did you do?”
He is a martial art that he has improved and created.
No matter how much Goo Cheol-woon is said to be at a higher level than himself, it makes no sense for him to use it so easily.
Even more perfect use.
How could that be? Gu Yangchen asked in a tone mixed with perplexity.
Goo Cheol-woon turns his head to look at Goo Yang-cheon and replies with a puzzled expression.
“Didn’t you show me?”
“…with that?”
The final blow that was made to shoot at the monster.
You mean you just watched it and followed it?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Let’s put on an expression that Gu Yang-chun doesn’t understand at all.
Goo Cheol-woon then delivered the final blow.
“Is that difficult?”
“…”
Hearing the answer, Gu Yangchen thought.
‘A damn life.’
Even if I hated my talent, I couldn’t hate it this much.
I’m about to sigh at the overwhelming feeling of emptiness.
Krrrrr–….
I couldn’t even connect to the sound I heard from far away.
‘Damn it.’
It was because the monster Gu Cheol-woon had sent away was getting up again.
Does it mean that even after suffering so much, he still raises his body?
‘Is there no way to kill it?’
If only that level of regeneration and vitality. Is there no way to catch it now?
The thought made me sick of it.
at that time.
Flutter-!
A voice was heard as the red robe swayed in the wind.
“Because I showed a good figure. I will reward you.”
“yes?”
Sabak-!
After spitting out the words, Gu Cheol-woon tramples on his eyes and walks away.
Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
From a distance, the monster screamed again.
Goo Cheol-woon continued to walk calmly toward that guy.
“third.”
Gu Cheol-wun tells Gu Yang-chun.
“This is the name.”
It was a bold and firm tone.
“From now on, don’t take your eyes off me for a second.”
Instinctively, Gu Yang-cheon looked at Gu Chul-wun’s back.
“Also, don’t be buried in what you see. This is Gazoo…”
The words that followed were cut off for a moment.
Taking half a step further, the sound continues.
“This is the teaching your father gives you.”
Whoa…!
At the end of this, heat radiated from Goo Cheol-woon’s toes.
Looking at the heat, Gu Yangchen widens his eyes as if surprised.
‘Teaching?’
Are you suddenly teaching?
I wondered what this meant.
However, such doubts are shattered soon after.
saaaaaa!!
The scorching heat escapes and begins to melt the surrounding snow.
Small embers gathered on Goo Cheol-woon’s back.
That moment.
tick-!
with the sound of something rubbing.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Huge flames soar in the air.
Misconception.
“Stealthitis Extremely Mount Five (俱炎極太山悟形).”
At this, the sky will be engulfed in flames.
The night sky receded and the white night came.
