Episode 31.Confidence (1)
The heavy polearm created an immeasurable afterimage. It was a fantastic herbivore, as if drawing huge flower petals.
But it was red. The petals were dyed deep red.
Fuwaaaaak!
The blood gushing from Chuseongâs entire body soaked the center of the training hall.
âomg!â
âStop it!â
Yeonhojeong did not stop.
If I tell you to kill me once, I will kill you. The blade of the spear shined brightly in the sunlight, and death seemed like an imminent sight.
âWow!â
Chu-seong coughed up blood and trembled.
He suffered net-like wounds all over his body. But it wasnât just a wound. Byeokrajingi carried on the spear blade penetrated into the wound and worsened the internal injuries.
It was attacked with herbivory and a penetrating scope. Regardless of how high a level of martial arts it is, you donât go this far unless you really intend to kill someone.
âdeath?â
Chuseongâs eyes were bloodshot.
âIâm going to die?â
In my blurry vision, I could see Yeonhojeong.
The devil, who had rendered a person incapable of recovery with his violent spear, was smiling coldly and preparing for the final blow.
Finally, fear appeared on Chu Seongâs face.
That guy, no, that demon wearing his skin really wants to kill him.
âCough! âSave meâ¦!â
Yeon Ho-jeong didnât even respond.
He held the middle of the spear as if pulling a bowstring and pulled, extending the spear with all his might.
Paaang!
Chu Seong closed his eyes tightly.
It was then.
Kaaaa!!
The long spear stopped.
âHuh!â
The blade of the spear stopped an inch in front of Chuseongâs uvula. If I had been a little late, my throat would have been pierced.
Chu-seongâs body, which had been shaking, went limp. He passed out.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
What stopped this attack was an iron gun and a hand. I tried to hit the spear, but the force was so strong that I grabbed it with my hand and twisted it.
He saw the person blocking his window.
ââ¦Dragon Head Ark?â
âAs I said before.â
My voice was trembling. This is because the pressure of the spear pressing down on the iron gun was so strong.
âMasterâs reputation is so tiresome. âIâm still acting as a successor.â
ââ¦.â
âKeuung! Anyway, the power is endless. âIâm going to die from pain.â
Grumbling.
The palm of the hand holding the spear was stained with blood.
This blow was not a simple blow. It wasnât just a thrust forward, but a rotational force was also applied. This was to maximize penetration.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the full picture, relaxed his grip on the spear.
âWhew!â
Full-sang pulled his hand away from Cheol-gon with a tired look on his face.
Yeon Ho-jeong hardened his expression.
âWhat are you doing? âIf you had made a mistake, your hand
would have been blown off. â âIf I hadnât invested my energy at the right time, I would have become a more miserable beggar.â
The way he waved his hands as if it was no big deal was quite easy-going.
âBut if you can save two lives with just one hand, wouldnât it be a profitable business?â
Two peopleâs lives.
One of them was clearly Chu Seong. So what about the other one?
âIt was a useless worry.â
Full-sang answered.
His voice became noticeably quieter. So loud that only Yeonhojeong can hear it.
âThe Namgung family is strong. Until the Nine Zhou Myeong family came into power, it was evaluated as being closest to the best family in the world. âYou know, right?â
âThere are so many ways to defeat the Great Elephant that it is difficult to count them all.â
âAre you planning to take down the Namgung family?â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes deepened.
âIf you need.â
Full Sang forced a smile.
Although I was smiling, it sent a chill down my spine. Regardless of whether it was actually possible, this young man was sincere. S~eaÊá´h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
âDangerous.â
Ability comes second.
Moon Geun-sang sensed Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes and voice as strong as steel.
It doesnât matter whether itâs right or wrong. This young man has the courage to risk his life to achieve whatever he has decided to do.
A heart so strong that it makes me feel sorry to simply use the word poison.
If the mind falls into the evil way, it will become madness, and if it follows the right path, it will become faith.
âAnyway, there are a lot of people watching. âLetâs end this fight here.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was looking at the picture with colorless and transparent eyes, looked around.
A lot of people were watching him. And most of them were unmanned.
What was unexpected was the look in their eyes.
It is normal to tremble in fear when you see a bloody fight like this. That could have been the case in the world of ordinary people.
But are they also martial people?
The eyes of the late exponents looking at this place were filled with deep excitement as well as simple surprise.
I wasnât excited by the sight of blood. It was unmanned excitement.
A bold and merciless spear technique. Although he was defeated by the spearman, the defeat of the kendo expert persisted until the end.
The ending may have been excessive, but there was something about the roar of swords clashing and the flowing battle that made my hands sweat.
For the later Jisoos who grew up exchanging harmonies in their families, a real match-like dance without harmonizing them was worthy of stimulating the hearts of Woong. It did not discriminate between men and women.
Even Namgoonghyunâs eyes were burning. Even though it is impossible to be happy, the unexpectedly fierce competition makes your heart pound.
âArenât those guys so excited? âItâs easier than you think, right?â
Yeon Ho-jeong looked at Full Sang.
Full-sang shrugged his shoulders comically.
âTry to organize it nicely.â
Yeon Ho-jeong burst out laughing without realizing it.
âIt was a matter of life and death between unmanned people. âI will definitely punish you for interfering with the game.â
âHeâs a man with a strange personality. I canât say thank you. Oh, thatâs it. âLetâs get it sorted quickly.â
Yeon Ho-jeong struck the floor with his spear.
Coo!
Everyone looked at Yeon Ho-jeong.
He said calmly.
âIâm sorry for startling you. But if Hu-gae hadnât stopped me, I would have truly killed this prosecutor.â
Creepy!
An eerie atmosphere took over the outer garden.
Although they were excited as warriors, they were descendants of Baekdo who were educated in great righteousness. It is difficult to look favorably on Yeon Ho-jeong, who said he would kill his opponent without hesitation.
âIs there a reason?â
The large young man asked. Unlike yesterday, his expression was serious. It was Paengdaeho.
âBrother Yeonâs skill in defeating Danju Chu was truly remarkable. But wasnât it too harsh a treatment in a good place?â
Like yesterday, he doesnât help Yeon Ho-jeong.
That was the line of the Pengdae Lake. Although I am young, I see yesterdayâs events as separate from todayâs competition. He had such clear standards.
However, just by subconsciously calling him Yeon-hyung, I could tell that he had feelings for Yeon Ho-jeong.
âI guess thereâs no reason to hide it. âToday morningâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeong explained the situation briefly and concisely.
His words were not long-winded. However, the core of the situation was not missed and the causal process leading up to this situation was made clear.
Is that why? Although the actual words were short, the listeners fell into the illusion that they had heard a long story. This meant that the speaker Yeon Ho-jeongâs words were coherent.
Full-sang couldnât help but be amazed.
âItâs really not normal.â
The current appearance is much more impressive than the martial arts that pushed Chu Seong. He speaks coherently with a calm expression, and nothing is overlooked.
The voice that flowed naturally, as if reciting, was powerful, and there was no room for interference in the words and diction chosen. It almost sounded like a speech.
This was not something that was innate, but a familiarity that came from experience. It was a slow and rapid control that could not have been achieved if he had not led the audience from a high position.
Suspicion gradually arose on Moon Geun-sangâs face, which was looking at Yeon Ho-jeong with admiration.
âWhat on earth is it?â
His brutal skills defeated Chu Seong at the age of less than 20.
A belief that has been thoroughly honed to completely overwhelm the opponent.
Not only does he not feel pressured by the audienceâs eyes, but he also has a strange charm that skillfully draws them into his atmosphere.
âTo say this is genius is not enough. If I hadnât seen him in person, I would have mistaken him for the head of a large sect rather than a young man.â
Full-sangâs eyes deepened.
âWho are you?â
The outer circle became quiet.
After Yeon Ho-jeong finished speaking, people turned their attention to Nam Gung-hyeon.
Namgoonghyeonâs face was red. Although he was trying hard to control his facial expression, anyone who saw him could see that he was embarrassed.
âTsk.â
Myung Ho-rim, who turned his back, sighed.
âNamgoongâs younger brother made a mistake.â
Namgoonghyeonâs eyes wavered. I had no idea that Myeong Ho-rim would turn out like this.
âNo matter how much of a brainiac he is, isnât he someone who was recently recruited into the Namgung family? From Danju Chuâs point of view, he would have wanted to show something to your family, and it is a virtue of a superior to encourage the motivation of his subordinates.â
Namgoonghyeonâs eyes lit up.
Myeong Ho-rim continued calmly.
âYou donât know how tiring the family holding the meeting is. Itâs enough to keep me standing. But it was your mistake for not comforting your subordinate. âShouldnât you apologize in front of everyone?â
It was a clever remark.
Even so, isnât it too harsh? Isnât it a mistake to talk about insults and see blood at a good meeting?
That kind of thing could have happened. This means that there was enough reason to attack Yeonhojeong.
However, Myeong Ho-rim asked Nam Gung-hyeon to take responsibility as the representative of the family holding the meeting.
Full-sangâs eyes sparkled.
âAre you going to completely bury this matter? âYouâre cunning.â
If Namgoong Hyun takes responsibility and apologizes, this incident will end. And it would be petty to bring up an incident that has ended. Just like Chuseong did.
At the same time, Namgoong Hyeonâs intentions will also be buried. Obvious mistakes disappear and only the âmistakeâ of failing to manage subordinates remains.
Myeong Ho-rim is trying to sue up the incident by pretending to scold Nam Gung-hyeon. At the same time, he also showed his qualities as an adult.
Myeong Ho-rim and Nam Gung-hyeonâs eyes collided.
âYou owe me one.â
âI wonât forget.â
âHurry up and finish it.â
When Namgoonghyun opens his mouth like that.
âItâs nice to see.â
Everyoneâs eyes fell on Yeon Ho-jeong.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled and looked at Nam Gung-hyeon.
âIâm not that kind of guy, but if my âyounger brotherâ had made this mistake, I would have lost face and come forward.â
Myeong Ho-rim frowned.
âIs there anything you want to do to save face? Itâs just that Namgungâs younger brother is clearly at faultâ¦â
âI apologize.â
Myeong Ho-rim looked at Nam Gung-hyeon in surprise.
Before we knew it, Namgung-hyeon had arrived in front of the training hall and was taking control.
âIt was I who gave the order to Danju Chu. âIt wasnât my subordinateâs mistake, it was my intention.â
âWhat?!â
âI wanted to end this meeting as nicely as possible. However, I was embarrassed by yesterdayâs events and my anger did not go away. So, even though I knew it wasnât the teacherâs fault, I took out the remaining anger on the teacher.â
The crowd opened their mouths wide.
Right now, Namgoonghyun was apologizing to Yeonhojeong. He even acknowledged that Chu-seongâs actions were what he had ordered.
âAs the representative of the hosting family, which must be more transparent and upright than anyone else, I have nothing to say. âI would like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to the speaker.â
The case was about to be resolved if he stayed quiet, but he suddenly confesses the truth.
Everyone looked at Nam Gung-hyeon in bewilderment.
Namgoonghyeon looked up at Yeonhojeong with trembling eyes.
Yeon Ho-jeong looked down at him with a cool smile.
âSo please forgive me for my mistakeâ¦â
What my younger brother did.
âPlease forgive me.â
Close your mouth.
Yeon Ho-jeong opened her mouth as she saw Nam Gung-hyeon apologizing politely.
âI donât like it.â
