Episode 775 They say that if you fall behind, you all lose! (5)
“This arrogant bitch…”
Who wouldn’t be angry when a young swordsman who doesn’t seem to have even lived half his life says something like that right in front of his eyes?
Ganampyeong’s eyes began to shine with life.
“Let’s see if you can say the same thing even after your whole body is destroyed.”
A cold tension flowed between the two people.
“That…”
Jo Seung, who was close to Cheongmyeong’s side, spoke in a trembling voice.
“Dae Daehyeop.” No seal! “I think I need to stop you.”
“huh?”
‘Why are you here?’ Cheongmyeong glanced at Jo Seung with questioning eyes and tilted his head.
“why?”
“The author is Ganampyeong Ga. Takryu Office Ganampyeong! “He is quite a famous expert in the Yangtze River area!”
“…huh?”
“He uses the Tao like a ghost and is famous for his craftsmanship. I tried to recruit him from various companies, but I heard that he refused all the offers because he didn’t want to work under someone else… but I never would have guessed that he created the company himself….” Jo Seung’s face showed tension and nervousness as he swallowed dry saliva
. It was full.
“That Ganampyeong is on a different level from the old people wandering the Yangtze River. In the past, when there was a fight with a master of the old faction, he killed him and avoided being pursued by the old faction. That’s how strong and dangerous it is.”
“Oh yeah?”
“yes! “I wondered how the fledgling Suchae had attracted so many people… It seems that Ganampyeong had some people raising him separately.”
“Hmmmm.”
Cheongmyeong looks at Ganampyeong with strange eyes.
“Well, he doesn’t seem like such a great person, does he?”
“I have my doubts about that too. As far as I know, Ganampyeong was good at inaction, but he wasn’t a very resourceful person… When did he make preparations like this…” “Does
he have a lot of money?”
“yes?”
“Do you have a lot of money?”
“…What kind of money does a ronin have?”
“Is that so?”
Cheongmyeong’s eyes narrowed significantly.
‘A ronin with no money saved so many white thunderbolts and was feeding this many people?’
Only when the sinks start to run on their own will they be able to make a living with the money they have earned, but in the beginning, they will have to bring in raw money.
But how many people are involved in a new watercolor theme?
“It doesn’t make sense unless you have a lot of money, right?”
Cheongmyeong tapped my cheek.
“Well, if you search, you’ll find it… More than that, the terrain here is quite unusual. “I thought it was just a sandbank called an island, but it really is an island.”
“Dojo! Now is not the time to be looking at that. “He’s going to die?”
“who? Accident? Or that guy who thinks he’s Ganampyeong or Namsaeng?”
“…yes?”
Cheongmyeong chuckled.
“You worry about everything too. “Sago is not the kind of person who would lose to someone like me if he only uses his skills.”
“I think it’s because Master Tao doesn’t know much about Ganampyeong…”
“Do you know our thoughts well?”
“…yes?”
“It’s the same as not knowing each other, right?”
A doubt crossed Jo Seung’s face. Cheongmyeong just shrugged his shoulders, even though he looked as if he was asking what kind of bullshit this was.
“Dojang-nim, are you really okay?”
“Are you okay… huh?”
At that time, Cheongmyeong tilted his head.
“wait for a sec.”
“yes?”
“You’re the guy who flew away while swearing at me earlier, right?”
“…yes?”
“haha. I almost forgot. Come on.”
“….”
Sometimes… even the best intentions can come back with bad results.
“Whoop!”
Ganampyeong took a short breath and swung the sword.
Basically, the sword is closer to a weapon that swings and strikes rather than cutting. However, the horizontal sword of Ganampyeong, which is similar to a sword, was specialized for stabbing.
Those who have mastered water techniques must be mindful of fighting in the water. Heavy and thick swords are not effective in water.
A heavy sword is suitable for a ronin who often engages in melee combat, and a sharp stabbing weapon is suitable for a rogue who often fights in the water.
His weapon was a weapon that took both aspects into account.
Hehe!
Every time it moved, a goosebump-inducing sound came out through the hole at the end of the sword.
Ganampyeong, who thrust the sword at incredible speed, thrust the sword again one after another. A dozen knife cuts made in an instant. It was so elaborate and powerful that it was hard to believe it was from a ronin.
Making a name for yourself throughout the great Yangtze River, which flows through half of the central plains, means that your skills are guaranteed. And Ganampyeong’s Tao clearly proved that his reputation was not exaggerated.
one.
Whiiii!
The extended horizontal sword could not extend any further in front of Yu Iseol. To a stranger, it would have seemed as if he had deliberately stopped right in front of her neck.
However, while Ganampyeong’s expression was distorted, Yu Iseol’s expression was calm. It meant that things were not as they seemed.
‘this guy!’
Ganampyeong’s eyes became a little more cautious.
Just over half.
Every time he stretched out his sword, Yu Iseol took a half step back, which was more than the distance his sword could reach. With a complete understanding of the trajectory he creates, he is neutralizing his Tao with only the minimum amount of movement without any waste.
It would have been impossible to even dare to do this unless you had complete confidence and boldness in the method you were practicing.
The fact that he was showing such composure toward himself upset Ganampyeong even more.
But rather than getting angry, he took a deep breath. Losing one’s mind on the battlefield is more dangerous than sticking one’s head to the enemy’s sword.
‘That’s right, he’s still a young guy with only a little experience.’
With just this number, I was able to understand the opponent’s skill level. If he fights ten times, he will win at most a couple of times.
But isn’t it experience and skill that makes it possible to do those two times with a ten percent chance?
Hehe!
Ganampyeong’s Tao once again burrowed into Yu Iseol’s throat.
With light footwork, Yu Iseol takes a half step back from where his sword reaches.
Hehe! Whiiii!
Stings that seemed meaningless poured out one after another.
A series of ear-splitting sounds and rapid, invisible stabs. It was a rough and flashy attack, but it seemed to have no substance.
‘Hmm?’
At that time, Cheongmyeong, who was looking at the scene, smiled strangely.
“You’re showing some tricks.”
As if he had heard those words, Ganampyeong’s eyes lit up and he stretched out his sword once again. This time, Yu Iseol leaned back as if it was natural.
However, at that moment, Ganampyeong’s degree, which should have stopped in the middle, seemed to stretch out, and in an instant, it seemed to pierce Yu Iseol’s neck. Yui Seol, with her eyes wide open, jumped backwards without any delay.
“Taaaaaat!”
However, Ganampyeong did not let her go away easily. The sharp sword that was released flew toward her neck at incredible speed.
Yu Iseol swung his sword like a sword and blocked my path.
Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!
The pottery that collided with the sword moved to the side, making the sound of scraping metal.
Uduk.
Although injury was avoided, the force contained in the pottery was enough to leave a dull pain in Yu Iseol’s wrist.
Paaaaat!
Ganampyeong rushed forward without giving him any time to spare. Then, he kicked the sand under his feet once. Sand flew with the force to cover Yu Iseol.
“Tsk.”
A fleeting look of embarrassment flashed across Yu Iseol’s expressionless face.
And Baekcheon, who saw that scene, was also embarrassed.
‘what? Why on earth did Samae…?’
Of course, that person named Ganampyeong is not an easy person, but it seems that Yu Iseol is not being oppressed by him due to her skills, but is unable to show off her skills for some reason.
This is evident from the look of embarrassment on Yu Iseol’s face, who was calm and cool in any situation.
“It’s a sense of distance.”
“huh?”
Baekcheon asked back without even turning his gaze to the voice of Cheongmyeong.
“The sound coming from the hole at the end of that sword. That’s a sound technique. “If you keep listening to that sound, your insides will be shaken.”
“….”
“And that guy has been controlling the distance he extends his sword from earlier. It’s confusing my eyes and ears at the same time. “He’s a lot smarter than I thought, right?”
The same goes for kicking up sand.
Ganampyeongdo wouldn’t think that someone as talented as Yoo Yi-seol would be able to use that kind of talent. But what if you think about all of those things accumulating? If you constantly shake your ears and confuse your vision, you will eventually make a mistake.
“Dirty….”
“There is nothing dirty in fighting. “It’s a hundred times better to live a miserable life than to live a clean life.”
“….”
Baekcheon nodded silently. Although I reflexively criticized it, I had no choice but to agree with this statement as someone who has experienced countless battles.
“how is it? “I don’t have to go help you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
When Cheongmyeong asked vaguely, Baekcheon answered firmly.
“It’s not that big of a deal.”
“Hmm.”
Cheongmyeong quietly curled the corners of his mouth.
“How do you feel?”
Ganampyeong roared like a tiger. This was not evidence of excitement. The booming voice is also just a way to confuse Yu Iseol.
There are two ways to win against a better opponent. Either I become stronger or I bring my opponent down to the same level as myself.
Attaching bells to the sword and performing yin and ball together to confuse the opponent is one of the martial arts that has a long history in Sapa.
His Gugokdo (鬼哭刀) can be said to be a development of such martial arts. Every time it moves, a sound wave loaded with internal power naturally erupts from the Tao, shaking the opponent’s internal energy.
If you had a lot of experience observing Safa’s martial arts, you would find a way to deal with it, but the young swordsman in front of you couldn’t have had that experience.
Moreover, if it was natural for him to exchange only the best attacks cleanly, he would have no choice but to be taken aback by the fact that each attack had different strength and was spread out differently.
As proof…
Paa!
His sword grazed the part of Yu Iseol’s arm just below her shoulder. The torn clothes were soon stained with red blood.
Faaah!
Another wound appeared on his side.
The sword that had not even touched a moment ago was now clearly touching Yu Iseol’s body.
‘A little more.’
Basically, you have to be careful when hunting.
In times like this, if you get excited, you could face a clumsy counterattack and end up in big trouble. Time is on his side, so you just have to take it slow and not rush.
‘I’ll kill you first!’
Ganampyeong’s eyes showed a cold-hearted life.
“Haaaab!”
That was the moment when Ganampyeong threw down his sword again, putting all his strength into his loud shout.
Kaang!
Before his sword could fully extend, it collided with Yu Iseol’s sword and was twisted.
“Tsk!”
However, Ganampyeong did not panic and calmly retrieved the sword and threw it away again.
Kaang!
But it’s the same this time too.
Before it could even be stretched out, Yu Yi-seol’s sword preempted the path the sword was supposed to draw and pushed it away.
Kaang! Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!
No matter how many times you stretch the path, the same thing happens every time. Before the sword was even halfway extended, Yu Yi-seol stretched out his sword and parried it away, as if he knew it.
Ganampyeong, who was scared and stepped back, looked at Yu Iseol with shocked eyes. She spoke with a face that suddenly became insensitive again.
“I kind of figured it out.”
“….”
“Sense of sound distance. “It is only meaningful when the Tao is extended to the end.”
“What what…”
So you’re saying you’re going to hit it before it extends?
Does that make any sense?
For such a thing to be possible, the author’s sword must be at least twice as fast as Ganampyeong’s sword.
Late adopters.
This means that the sword extended later after the attack begins flies farther than his sword.
“That can’t happen! Aaaah!”
Ganampyeong let out a scream and stabbed the sword again. This noise was not a sound hole. It was literally a scream made out of desperation.
Kakang! Kang! Kaang!
However, his Tao still could not move along its proper path until the end. Every time I stabbed the sword, the sword flew like a ghost and bounced back one after another.
He squeezed out all the internal power he had and stabbed the sword faster, but the sword was still ahead of where his sword was supposed to go.
“Aaaah!”
Ganampyeong’s movements as he thrust the sword now looked similar to a seizure.
If you block it, just push it away with force!
There is no need to fall behind in terms of internal strength. That young guy…
that moment.
Bingle.
Yu Yi-seol’s body rotated and gently let Ganamping’s sword flow to the side.
Then, it swam lightly like a butterfly and stretched out its sword.
The world flows slowly.
Ganampyeong, who sensed his fate, realized one thing at that moment.
‘doesn’t exist?’
There is no black cat in sight.
There was no sign of the Black Demon, who had obviously joined the battlefield to fight before him, anywhere on the battlefield.
‘Where?’
does not exist.
A man of the same caliber as the Black Demon would have been noticeable anywhere. However, neither he nor his subordinates who had joined him when making watercolors were visible.
“You son of a bitch…”
Suddenly.
Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Iseol’s sword cut through Ganampyeong’s throat.
Fluffy.
Ganampyeong’s head rose into the air without any noise.
Ganampyeong saw clearly in the spinning world.
Across the island.
The sight of a group of black catfish moving away from the island, leaving themselves in the waters of the Yangtze River.
‘You fooled me…’
The world quickly went dark.
Anger and hatred belong to the living.
Ganampyeong no longer had the right to be angry.
