Episode 125 Proxy Duel (2)
Baek Woo-jin approached Jeong Geun-ho. His steps were as light as someone going for a walk.
“Shit!”
Jeong Geun-ho bit his lip and quickly took steps.
It was an incredibly fast movement compared to the first time, but Baek Woo-jin was catching everything through his eyes that could see the flow.
“Attack him!”
Jeong Geun-ho constantly moved and ordered the spirits to attack.
Quaaaaa!
Following his fingers, Burnfly spewed flames, which Jin spread.
Grumble!
It was as if a wave of flames was rushing towards Baek Woo-jin.
‘First of all, I bought some time.’
Even if he is Baek Woo-jin, he will not be able to cross that wave of flames.
“Now a fusion attack…”
“What fusion?”
“Hi!”
Jeong Geun-ho was startled and fell asleep at the sound of Baek Woo-jin’s voice coming from behind him. I really thought my heart was jumping out of my mouth.
“Now wait!”
“It’s right for now.”
Baek Woo-jin hit his palm towards the back of Jeong Geun-ho’s shiny head.
Bye!
With the refreshing sound of a watermelon breaking, Jeong Geun-ho hit his nose on the duel field.
“Kwaaeook!”
Jeong Geun-ho stepped back, rubbing the back of his head like crazy. A double nosebleed was flowing from his nose.
“profit! Spread wider and stronger! “Cover the battlefield completely!”
Following Jeong Geun-ho’s instructions, the spirits released stronger flames and winds.
“ok?”
The entire battlefield was engulfed in wind and fire, but Baek Woo-jin had already left the scene.
“No way!”
Jeong Geun-ho quickly looked back, but Baek Woo-jin was not there either.
“Where on earth…”
“Here.”
Baek Woo-jin’s voice came from behind Jeong Geun-ho again.
“Squeak!”
Jeong Geun-ho had a seizure and jumped up.
There was no one there just a moment ago, but the ghost was crying, wondering what they were doing.
Bye!
Baek Woo-jin hit the back of Jeong Geun-ho’s head like he was hitting a ping-pong ball.
“Wow!”
Jeong Geun-ho, who was hit on the head and flew away, immediately got up like a zombie.
It was not due to counterattack or defense.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Jeong Geun-ho rubbed the back of his head as if washing clothes and let out a scream.
“What! “What is this?”
It didn’t make sense. It continued to hurt not only where I was hit now, but also the areas where I was hit a little while ago.
“What! “Why doesn’t the pain go away?”
It’s been a while since I was hit, but the pain hasn’t gone away. I did not understand what was happening.
“Bourbon Fly! jin!”
Jeong Geun-ho continued to touch the back of his head and called out to the two spirits.
“Fire Demon Blade!”
At his shout, Burnfly created a huge sphere of flame and Jin spewed out a blade of wind towards the sphere.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
It was a spirit fusion technique with speed and firepower taught by Yoon Woo-min.
“At least one of these….”
“Are you stupid?”
This time, Baek Woo-jin’s low voice was heard from the left.
“Ugh!”
Jeong Geun-ho quickly tried to run away, but Baek Woo-jin’s punches were faster.
“Huh huh huh!”
Jeong Geun-ho, with the regime burning in the back of his head, stuck his head on the floor of the duel arena and screamed like an animal.
“I’m faster than you, but where did you learn to block your own vision? “It’s just superficial.”
“Ugh…”
Jeong Geun-ho couldn’t hear Baek Woo-jin’s words.
“Ugh!”
The back of my head really hurt.
Because that damn bastard hit a different part every time he hit me, I felt pain in every part of my body, from where I was first hit to where I was just hit.
“Please stop….”
“I’ve been thinking about it. “The reason you whine even after being treated like that.”
Baek Woo-jin turned his wrist and walked towards Jeong Geun-ho.
“Then the answer came out. “That’s because it stops when you pass out.”
“uh?”
“If you inflict enough pain on him that he cannot faint, he will come to his senses.”
“Now wait a minute! “I’m gi-gu… sip!”
Baek Woo-jin covered Jeong Geun-ho’s mouth and smiled happier than ever.
“We haven’t even started yet.”
* * *
Jeong Geun-ho was carried out unconscious after being beaten to death by Baek Woo-jin.
“Hmm….”
Yoo Si-hyeong, the third middle-aged prosecutor from the Chuncheon branch, looked at Baek Woo-jin and furrowed his brows.
“The young man is very cunning.”
“hmm?”
“I know there are circumstances between the two, but it would have been nice to see it if they had been a little more considerate as a strong man.”
Yoo Si-hyung shook his head and continued.
“I think you need some character education.”
“Are you saying you’ll do that?”
“I can at least educate a foal.”
Baek Woo-jin just laughed at Yoo Si-hyung’s confident words.
-Tsk, tsk, that guy will be taken away too.
Heukam saw Baek Woo-jin’s smile and clicked his tongue as he pictured Yoo Si-hyung’s future.
“We will begin the third duel between Tonggeom Baeksan and Hanseonggeom Yoo Si-hyung.”
When the host announced the start of the duel, Yoo Si-hyung slowly drew his sword.
“Come. “Such a lame move wouldn’t work on me.”
Baeksan’s movements were nothing more than quick movements and a grab that took advantage of the opponent’s vision.
Such sloppy movements will not work for you.
‘I need to beat it up a bit and raise its name value.’
Among those currently watching this duel were executives from Black Market and several high-ranking guilds.
I decided to show my skills because I could get a good opportunity if I left an impression on them.
“If you don’t come, I will go!”
Yoo Si-hyung rushed towards Baek Woo-jin, who was still, and struck down his sword.
Whoa!
Yoo Si-hyung used too much force from the first attack due to excitement, and Baek Woo-jin did not miss that moment.
Whoops!
Baek Woo-jin violently cut off Yoo Si-hyung’s downward strike.
I followed Yoo Si-hyung, who was panicking and was trying to retreat, and struck him on the temple with his fist.
“Ugh!”
Baek Woo-jin went behind Yoo Si-hyung, who was unable to come to his senses, and hit him on the back of the head with his sword.
Bye!
With the sound of his bones breaking, Yoo Si-hyung fell out of the duel arena. He passed out with foam at the mouth.
“If you stay still, you’ll get to the middle.”
Baek Woo-jin came down from the duel arena laughing.
* * *
“Tonggeom Baeksan?”
Heukwoo frowned as he saw Baek Woojin coming down the battlefield.
“If you look at the walking techniques, it’s not Baekga…”
“There’s an interesting guy.”
Hwangho’s eyes sparkled like a child who found a toy.
“You are hiding your skills. “I’m past the mid 6th grade.”
Hwangho turned his head to Yeomsa, who did not say anything.
In fact, the reason for participating in the proxy duel was not only because of the request of the auctioneer, but also to restore Yeomsa’s confidence.
That man named Baeksan was the perfect match to restore Yeomsa’s confidence.
“How about taking him with you?”
Baekgye smiled while looking at Baek Woojin.
“I also like the clean-cut face and crazy personality that only stabs people in the back. “I want to take you with me.”
Baekgye licked his lips and looked excited.
“You’re taking me with you?”
“You’re young and your skills aren’t bad, right? And since his name is unknown, it would be good to use him as an assassin.”
“Can you do it?”
At Hwangho’s question, a red aura flickered in Baekgye’s eyes.
“of course.”
* * *
Baek Woo-jin easily made it through the semifinals and into the finals.
“In the end, the opponent is Daeyeonmun.”
Eugene’s complexion was dark. I had trouble sleeping last night knowing that my opponent in the finals was Daeyeonmoon.
“If you deal with the lords of the Great Yeonmun Gate, your true identity may be revealed. Are you okay with that? Especially if Hwangho appears, he will win….”
“It’s okay.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled without a wrinkle. Since there was no way to lose, it didn’t matter if my identity was discovered.
“By the way, that auction manager is also amazing. “You’re bringing in four lords of Daeyeonmun.”
“Originally, that person should have been the deputy general manager. “The current head of the department is a unique person, so I prepared for this test.”
“It was lucky for the branch manager.”
“yes?”
“I will soon become the deputy general manager.”
“Ah…”
Yoo Jin-ah said nothing and looked at Baek Woo-jin with eyes filled with emotion.
I couldn’t think of anything to say to thank Baek Woo-jin for fighting Daeyeon-moon for me.
“Thank you very much. How can I repay you….”
“I also received a lot of help from the branch leader. “Don’t say that.”
“The finals will begin now. “Baeksan, the first fighter of the Seongnam branch, Tonggeom Baeksan, and Baekgye, the first fighter of the auction department, please come to the duel arena.”
“I’ll be back.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled with confidence and went up to the battlefield.
In the center of the duel arena, Baekgye was already taking his place with a haughty expression.
“The rules are the same as yesterday. “Everything is allowed except killing your opponent.”
“All right.”
“okay.”
“Then let’s begin the first duel of the finals right away!”
At the host’s starting signal, Baekgye released the whip.
“I saw you fight in the quarterfinals and semifinals.”
Baekgye looked at Baek Woojin with strange eyes.
“Why don’t you come under me instead of that old woman?”
“what?”
“Because I like you. “I will treat you with the best treatment.”
“Ha…”
Baek Woo-jin frowned. I couldn’t understand what the crazy woman in front of me was talking about.
“You know opportunities like this don’t come around often. “It will allow you to stand at the center of the main gate.”
Baekgye narrowed his eyes and made a sullen expression.
-Is this place called Daeyeonmun filled only with crazy people? Well, such a fool…
“Go home and talk nonsense.”
Baek Woo-jin clicked his tongue and picked his ear with his little finger.
“As expected, it comes out like that.”
Baekgye curled the corners of his mouth as if he knew that would happen.
The moment her smile reached its peak, her eyes turned red and a mysterious energy poured out of them.
-That….
‘It’s fascination.’
One of Baekgye’s special abilities was the ability to possess humans and monsters.
-Tsk, you really are acting like a chicken head.
‘therefore.’
Charm is a technique that works on people with low mental power. No one can penetrate your mind, which is protected by your high mental power and darkness and brightness index.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin slowly approached Baek-gye, as if he had been fascinated by his eyes.
“joy.”
Baekgye saw Baek Woojin approaching him with blank eyes and smiled coldly.
‘That’s what I should have told you.’
A strong person does not necessarily mean that he or she is mentally strong. Especially at such a young age, the stronger the person was, the weaker his or her mental power was.
“Now, abstain… huh?”
Baek Woo-jin, who was trying to get him to abstain, disappeared before his eyes.
“What the hell!”
“What is it? “It’s the back of the head.”
Baek Woo-jin appeared behind Baek-gye and struck the back of Baek-gye’s head with the steel part of the sword sheath.
“No!”
Baekgye lost consciousness from the immense pain and fell to the ground like a radish.
“next.”
Baek Woo-jin tapped his shoulder with the sheath of his sword and called for his next opponent.
“Oh, that guy…”
Yeomsa’s eyes shaking as if there was an earthquake as he looked at Baek Woo-jin.
“I thought this was weird! That walking method! This is Baek Woo-jin. “That guy is Baek Woo-jin!”
Yeomsa grabbed Huang Ho’s arm and shook it like a man possessed by a ghost.
Baek Woo-jin’s movements remained like a trauma in his mind.
In particular, I couldn’t recognize the movement just now because I had seen it in both Jeju Island and Seoul.
“Baek Woo-jin? “Really?”
“I’m sure.”
“Khahahaha!”
Hwangho burst into laughter and went up to the duel arena.
“uh? It’s not Hwangho’s turn yet. The second fighter is Mr. Yeomsa….”
“You can’t beat that guy. The second is abstention.”
Hwang Ho waved his hand at the embarrassed host.
“Are you serious?”
The host looked at Yeomsa, and Yeomsa nodded, breaking into a cold sweat.
“Then, due to the withdrawal of the second game, we will proceed with the third game immediately. Seongnam branch….”
“That’s it. “Get down quickly.”
“Ugh!”
Hwangho pushed aside the host and stood in front of Baek Woojin.
“You’re still acting like a rat. “Baek Woo-jin.”
Even though his identity was discovered, Baek Woo-jin showed no change in his expression.
“You’re still talking. “That’s the only thing you know how to do, right?”
Baek Woo-jin provoked Hwang-ho by changing only the words he said.
“Ugh! I didn’t like you from the beginning. “I especially wanted to tear off that snout.”
Hwangho gritted his teeth roughly.
I thought Baek Woo-jin would be embarrassed because his identity was revealed, but instead, the guy was only making his anger worse. Anger surged to the top of my head.
“What are you doing! “Start quickly!”
“The third game of the finals begins!”
As soon as the word “start” was finished, a yellow tiger came out diagonally.
Kwaaaaang!
Hwangho’s fingers tore up the space where Baek Woojin was.
Sharp auras like tiger claws sprouted from both his fingers.
-As expected, you use fishing techniques.
‘It’s called the Compatibility Method.’
Hwangho’s ability was Hwangho’s ability to use sharp and strong auras and his fingers to perform quick synchronization techniques.
“I’ll rip your whole mouth off!”
Hwangho pointed his finger at Baek Woojin, who was standing away.
Kwaaaaaaaa!
The aura covering his fingers burst out, creating huge scars on the floor and walls.
Baek Woo-jin did not retreat but stepped forward to avoid Hwangho’s attack.
“You rat!”
Hwangho instantly narrowed the distance and drew his finger in front of Baek Woojin’s nose.
Kyaggyaggyak!
The aura of the yellow tiger that collided with the dark sword was pushed away.
-It was good timing!
‘It’s thanks to the snow.’
Baek Woo-jin used his ability to see the flow and cut off Hwang-ho’s method before it gained momentum.
“dare!”
Hwangho, whose pride was hurt, used even bigger aurors. The aura covering his hands protruded like dragon claws.
“Look back!”
Even in an excited state, Hwangho demonstrated the essence of harmonious management.
Baek Woo-jin was hit like a storm with sharp auras and quick linked attacks.
‘little bit more!’
Baek Woo-jin’s defense was much stronger than expected, but it seemed like he could break through it if he pushed a little harder.
‘What the hell! ‘What is this guy?’
Hwangho screamed inwardly.
Baek Woo-jin’s defense was too strong. No, rather than being hard, it was getting harder.
The guy was increasingly easily parrying his own attacks, which he had barely blocked.
‘No way…’
I thought of an impossible assumption.
‘You grew up? Now in battle?’
It didn’t make sense, but it couldn’t have been anything else.
Even at this very moment, Baek Woo-jin’s defense and swordsmanship were rapidly changing.
“Nonsense!”
Huang Ho shouted and concentrated the auror in his right hand and stabbed Baek Woo-jin. It was the Ghost Tiger Palace, the season of the Compatible Master’s Technique.
Kyaakang!
An enormous aura erupted from Hwangho’s five fingers, but unlike a refreshing explosion, a muffled sound was heard.
This is because Baek Woo-jin cut off the flow of the Ghost Palace’s power before it reached its peak.
“How…”
“Thank you.”
Baek Woo-jin, who had been silent and defensive until now, opened his mouth.
“What bullshit!”
“Thanks to you, I have reached a new path.”
Baek Woo-jin’s gaze was not directed at Hwang-ho but at the message that appeared in front of him.
[The fourth door of the Ten Thousand Swords, the door of Thunder Sword, has been opened.] [The
ninth door of the Ten Thousand Swords, the door of the Sword of Swords, has been opened.] [The
tenth door of the Ten Thousand Swords, the door of the Absolute Sword has been opened. It has been opened.]
[The Gwangho Island was created with a sword containing the power of brains and etiquette.]
