Episode 460Journey to find the truth (10)
The moment when Yang Cheonâs fist splits the air and approaches.
Kang Ryangâs eyes were accurately capturing that fleeting moment.
âfast. And strong.â
A power far beyond imagination was concentrated in the fist that shot out like an awl through the wall of air.
At its current level, it was difficult to even dare to look at it. There was nothing that was not admirable, including the density of force, the flow, and the path that created the geometric waves of air.
âYou have such fists.â
It was surprising that an ordinary-looking fist contained such complex power management and power flow.
Kang Ryangâs eyes deepened.
The surprise is only fleeting.
âIs this how you die?â
It cannot be avoided or prevented. I couldnât cope with any of the studying I had done so far.
The efforts that have been made over the past dozen years can be blown away in an instant.
âItâs fleeting.â
Time, which had slowed down, sped up again at an alarming speed.
Paaaaang!
Considering the speed of the fist, the sound of the air exploding was not that loud.
âCough!â
Kang-Ryang flew out of Samjang and spilled a bowl of blood.
ââ¦?!â
Surprisingly, Kangryang did not die.
âCorruption?â
Perhaps because it was night, the color of the blood that poured out seemed particularly dark.
The smell coming from the blood was also very fishy and strong. It was almost as if I was addicted.
Kang Liang looked up at Yang Chen. seaÊá´h thÑ novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Yang Chen was looking down at him with his back turned.
ââ¦What is it?â
âWhat do you mean?â
Kang Ryang stood up.
The dull pain in my chest seemed like it would last for several days. It was such a painful blow.
But his insides were much cleaner than before. This is because the blood that Kang-ryang vomited contained a very small amount of turbidity that he was not aware of.
Kang-ryang, who was looking at Yang Cheon, asked again.
âWhy this favor?â
Yes. This was a favor.
Moreover, he was the one who boldly declared that he would kill Yang Cheon. Yang Cheon actually pulled out the dirty energy from such a personâs body.
Yang Chen shook his head.
âDonât misunderstand. âIâm not crazy enough to help a man who wants to kill me.â
âButâ¦â
âBut Tuwangâs pride is much stronger than you think.â
Yang Chenâs eyes twitched.
It seemed like he was smiling or frowning. It was a truly strange expression.
âSince you are in danger, where would you rather go to Yeonhojeong? Even that Yeonhojeong cannot compare to the powerhouse of Seongcheon. âAt least not yet.â
ââ¦.â
âItâs hard to count the number of people in the world who are trying to kill me. âLife wonât change just because a talented young person gets involved.â
Yang Chen looked up at the sky.
The unusually bright moonlight seemed to give him a strange inspiration. His eyes, which were once hard as steel, seemed to have softened a little.
âAs the Lord of the Ink Dragon, you are someone who must be killed. However, King Yangcheon would be disappointed to know that such an action would be blocking the growth of a talented person who would be a good stimulus to his students.â
Yang Cheon looked at Kang Ryang again.
Kang Ryangâs eyes did not waver even at this moment.
Yang Chen smiled.
âThink of it as being back to the way it was. If I hadnât come here, you would have crossed the wall of martial arts and entered the new world. âEven though I canât help you get over the wall right away, I can make you some scaffolding.â
Yangcheon, who was quietly watching Kang Ryang, walked toward the base.
âIt was an impressive sword dance. âIt was still a long way away, but at least we didnât go astray.â
Yangcheon calmly walks away as if he had said everything he wanted to say.
Looking at his back, Kang Ryang instantly felt an emotion that was difficult to harbor towards his enemy.
ââ¦Are you a servant?â
Kang Ryang asked.
âYouâve probably heard this countless times.â
âhmm?â
âYou will regret it.â
Yang Chen paused.
But he also waved his hand for a moment as if showing off.
âAt least if you become stronger than me, you will never regret losing to such an opponent.â
âThen we should aim for the moment when Buju is weak.â
âUnfortunately, the moment when I become weak will never come. âIt will be faster for you to become stronger.â
Just like that, Yangcheon entered the bases.
Gangryang, who was left alone, pondered Yangcheonâs words.
âI am getting stronger fasterâ¦.â
This is truly great confidence. That means Yang Chen himself will not weaken until he dies.
But what if you interpret that saying differently?
âIt means that you will not become weak, but you will become stronger than you are.â
I donât know what intention he had for saying that. However, what was important was the fact that the absolute master who was the best in martial arts and the pinnacle of power recognized himself as a martial artist.
And that fact didnât really impress Kang Ryang.
âTo the majority of the Black Island martial arts people, you are a giant who deserves respect. But at least to me, you can be nothing more or less than an enemy with whom I cannot live in the same heaven.â
Kang Ryang touched his chest.
He did not consider Yang Chenâs help as help. In the same vein, he did not think that he had failed to break through the Wuzongji Wall because of Yang Chen.
It was simply because I wasnât confident enough. If he had really concentrated, he would have somehow managed to break through the barrier of martial arts, regardless of whether Yang Chen came or not.
Of course, if that were the case, Yangcheonâs reaction would have been different.
âHwaaaam!â
Kang Ryang stretched out.
The pain was still there, but I felt refreshed. At the same time, I was very tired.
âI guess I should get some sleep. Damn it hurts so much. âI donât know if that guy left the pain on purpose.â
* * *
Yeon Ho-jeong was writing alone with two bright lamps and a candle lit.
Squeak. Squeak.
A creak sounded from the stairs.
Yeon Ho-jeong straightened up the overturned glass.
After a while, Yang Cheon appeared.
âItâs been a while.â
âHow have you been?â
âItâs a plausible picture. âItâs a solo project on a moonlit night⦠It must be quite charming.â
âI have prepared some good drinks. Please sit down.â
âItâs good.â
Yang Cheon walked and sat across from Yeon Ho-jeong.
He had a gentle expression, as if he had come to meet a close friend. It wasnât just the facial expression, but also the gait and atmosphere.
Yeon Ho-jeong sighed.
Yang Chen tilted his head.
âWhy the sudden sigh?â
âHave you recently gained enlightenment? âIt seems like it has become more difficult to deal with.â
It was an honest statement without any modifications.
Yang Cheon thought that Yeon Ho-jeongâs insight and reaction were amazing. As he said to his disciple, this guy knew very well how to treat people.
âThanks to you. âAfter I detoxified that damn poison, I felt at peace.â
âI did something for nothing.â
âIf you hadnât done that pointless thing, your life would have been pretty boring, right?â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âI have to admit it.â
âStop yelling and fill your glass.â
âLetâs do that.â
After a while, the two people clinked their glasses and emptied their drinks neatly.
âDidnât I say it was a good drink?â
âYou donât like it?â
âIsnât simplicity going too far? âHow can cheap white wine be good alcohol?â
âThereâs nothing like it for my taste.â
âIf you keep drinking this kind of thing, youâll get upset.â
âIf you were to be thrown away like that, you would have already gotten sick and died. By the wayâ¦â
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled meaningfully.
âWhy did you do something unbecoming of a lord?â
Yangcheon played it off.
âI donât know what youâre talking about.â
âI mean strong.â
Yang Cheon felt somewhat embarrassed. I thought you were talking about Bottas.
âI donât think heâs the kind of guy whoâs still going to be careless.â
âIf it had been the kind of force I see, I would have already been beheaded.â
âThat wonât work. âI also need to increase my training time.â
âHehehe.â
Yeon Ho-jeong spoke in a somewhat serious voice.
âI donât know how people can know the future, but I think that when a situation arises in the future where our relationship is severed, at least both of Carelessâ heads will fall in his hands, not mine.â
âon the other way.â
Yangcheon said as he filled Yeonhojeongâs cup.
âYou all could die by my hands. And I think the odds of that happening are higher.â
âThat is correct.â
âHow easy and comfortable life would be if it went as planned. âWell, an easy, comfortable life isnât fun.â
âThat is also true.â
The two emptied their glasses again.
Yangcheon, who was frowning at the strong taste of white wine, sighed.
âThe gift I sent you was well received.â
Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.
âI just packed it.â
âAh yes. âIf it had been caught in your hands, every bone would have been torn off.â
âThat might have been better. âHaving an arm cut off by an unmanned person is fatal.â
âIf you could give up one of your arms and reach a higher level, wouldnât it be a profitable business? Even if itâs just one leg.â
Iâm serious.
Yeon Ho-jeong realized. What Yang Cheon said now is sincere.
âI didnât think it was something to be cherished.â
âI am very equal in my treatment of my students. We value equal education and equal treatment. However, it is generously given to those who climb up from there properly.â
âLike the second disciple?â
âyes.â
In an instant, Yang Cheonâs eyes became cold.
âEven if you are stupid and spoiled, you are still my disciple. âThe title âTuwangâs discipleâ did not disappear before the name Jeon Hong.â
âThank goodness. âThanks to you, I didnât die.â
âThe descendants of the extinct demon sword overwhelmed the three princes of the Mukryongbu and put them to shame. âI donât think you realize what a troubling problem this is.â
âThatâs why Iâm so glad.â
âIf I had killed him, I would have been able to come up with a picture of generous forgiveness.â
âAre you serious?â
Yang Cheon, who was glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong with cold eyes, soon smiled.
âAs expected, they wonât budge with threats like this.â
âIf I really didnât like it, Kang-ryang wouldnât have survived.â
âI am amazed once again. âYou really have great insight.â
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly smiling, filled his glass again.
âAnyway, Bujuâs disciple started the dispute first, so letâs pretend this never happened.â
âSure.â
The two emptied their glasses again.
After three glasses were emptied, the conversation progressed to the main topic.
âI believe you know why I invited Buju.â
âHas the time for joking passed?â
âItâs over.â
âThen I admit it. Thatâs right, I know why you invited me here.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes sank.
At that moment, Yang Chen felt it. Now that the work in Guangdong has been completed, Yeonhojeong has grown to another level compared to the past.
Before my enlightenment or inner strength, I had an intuition that something had changed.
âIs it Buju who brought Botaam to that point?â
Yang Chen acknowledged with a cheerful voice.
âNothing is more certain than that.â
âAs the Lord of the Ink Dragon, I know very well that Botaamâs sword is a thorn in his eyes.â
ââ¦I knew.â
âBut I donât think itâs just because of thatâ¦â
âIâm sorry, but before that, let me ask you a question.â
âPlease speak.â
Yang Chen asked with an expressionless face.
âWhat can you do to destroy the Saeumgyo?â
ââ¦?!â
âAre you ready to throw away everything?â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
