Episode 49. Since light and darkness live in one body, Gu
Cheon-se smiled and said.
“Ugh. After that… I’ll bust your balls like I promised. “That sounds like a lot of fun.”
Han Ibi felt like she was cringing without even realizing it.
‘Why isn’t Jong Ri-hyuk coming…’
Han Ibi was sweating and wasting time, but Jong Ri-hyuk showed no sign of showing up.
At that moment, a ‘wheeik’ sound was heard.
Han Ibi was startled and looked ahead, immediately hearing the sound of a ‘black ink piece’ flying through the wind.
Han Ibi was startled and tried to escape. However, the speed of the whip was so fast that it caught up with me in an instant.
Han Ibi had no choice but to roll her body to the floor.
Sigh!
There was a loud noise.
Han Ibi looked down at her left shoulder in terrible pain, as if she had been cut with a knife.
I could see that my clothes were torn and the fabric was turning red.
It was clear that the flesh around the shoulder had been torn along with the clothes.
Gu Cheon-se said with a smile.
“Hehehe. “If you don’t get close, no matter how powerful you are at flying and crawling, it will be of no use.”
Black ink pieces poured down again.
Without even thinking, Han Ibi threw herself to the right again and rolled over.
Wow!
Once again, the clothes around my right thigh were torn and blood quickly rose and became stained.
‘This is a scolding…’
Han Ibi had never competed with this type of weapon.
A combination of overwhelming martial arts and unfamiliar weapons.
It could be said that it was a combination that was too much for Han Ibi, who was literally a beginner in martial arts.
It was then.
Tiriring!
She was a madwoman.
[Advice: You can use footwork when dealing with mid- to long-range weapons.]
When Han Ibi heard that advice, a flash of lightning flashed in her head.
‘yes. ‘King Bosinbo (步神步王) Hong Bangnam (洪龐南)!’
He started to run away at a long distance.
Of course, the nine worlds caught up in an instant.
At the same time, I selected ‘Bagua Treasures (八卦步)’ through the status window.
It was a skill I had never used before.
Of course, there was nothing to use it for, but…
Han Ibi thought she was being fooled and quickly shouted ‘Bagua Bao’ in her heart.
Ringing!
With a cheerful sound, the ‘Bagua Bobeopchang’ was activated.
There, stick shapes similar to the ‘Taegeukgi’ were lined up.
Geon (乾), Tae (兌), Lee (離), Jin (震), Son (巽), Gam (坎), Gan (艮), Gon (坤).
It was facing in all eight directions and appeared in an octagonal shape similar to the ones seen in old ‘Jiangshi’ movies.
Han Ibi realized that these eight trigrams were directly connected to the eight directions of Bobeop.
At that time, twenty pieces of black ink poured out like snakes.
At that moment, a light suddenly came on at the ‘gon’ position in the octagon.
‘Yes? This this.’
There was no time to think.
Without further ado, Han Ibi moved towards ‘Gon’s direction.
To his left, the black ink piece dug into the ground with a ‘thumping’ sound.
Again, dirt flew in all directions.
‘do?’
This time, a memorizing needle-like needle flew towards my ankle.
Gucheonse lost his memorization skills.
It was clear that he was reluctant to get close to Han Ibi as he memorized it.
Among the octagons, the light came on in the direction of the hand (巽) hexagram.
‘That seems like the perfect place to get beaten up… I don’t know. Let’s follow it and see.’
Han Ibi diligently walked towards ‘Sun Gwae’.
Then there was the sound of the machine hitting the ground.
Memorization took a turn like a curveball in the middle.
‘If you avoid everything you see, you’ll end up in the goal.’
Han Ibi felt a chill running down her spine.
According to the experience of a person with 10 years of experience in the field,
unlike ‘knife type’ memorization, ‘needle type’ memorization had a higher probability of applying something.
Maybe So Eun-ri was affected by that too.
It’s a memorization with an evil spirit potion applied.
Han Ibi avoided the attack a couple of times as instructed by Bagua Chang.
Then, I was once again surprised at the fact that I was quite good at using footwork.
‘Anyway, this is quite useful. Bagua method! But I feel like I’ve seen this before somewhere… What was it…?’
Even while avoiding the whip, Han Ibi rolled her head to recall her memories.
A flash of realization.
Yes!
This is similar to the step rhythm game called ‘Pump It Up’, which was popular in the past, or ‘Pump’ for short.
However, his personality is to ‘sell it until he dies once he gets hooked.’
Memories of practicing until calluses formed on the soles of my feet come to mind.
How many people surrounded him with exclamations and cheers when he played!
‘It’s gum!’
Yes. Isn’t this a too easy direction marker?
I could play this much with my eyes closed.
At first, Gucheonse thought it was a coincidence, but when Han Ibi dodged the attack so easily, he started to feel feverish.
He unleashed a frenzied, coordinated attack of whip and memorization.
Then, the Bagua method went beyond the general level and reached a level that required the trigrams ‘I (離)’ and ‘Gam (坎)’ at the same time, or the three trigrams ‘Tae (兌)’, ‘Jin (震)’ and ‘Geon (乾)’ at the same time. reached.
At any rate, it is at the level of a double or triple step.
It was still a low-level play for Han E-bi, who casually used the five steps on her hands and knees.
When things got to this point, Han Ibi almost looked like she was dancing.
In this way, Han Ibi’s dance moves were becoming more and more intense.
The steps moving in the direction of the Bagua went beyond cool and were heading toward beauty.
There was one more thing that was intensifying: the mental state of the Nine Heavenly Cease.
He was so angry that he was on the verge of exploding.
It looked a lot different from the first time when I was more relaxed.
“What a rat you are!”
I tried all kinds of dark techniques and threw black ink, but Han Ibi always avoided it by one point.
That too along with some very cool body movements.
Gu Cheon-se, who was annoyed, was pouring out all the memorization he had like a bullet.
The black ink slices added in between were the seasoning.
At the same time, the difficulty of the Bagua steps was increasing endlessly, but Han Ibi was defending against them by using all her young skills.
‘Ah… what would have happened if I hadn’t gotten the Bagua…’
Han Ibi was devastated.
In any case, Han Ibi’s physical strength was not something that lasted forever and was infinite.
It may seem easy at first glance, but following the Bagua method required a high level of mental and physical strength at the same time.
Gradually, Han Ibi felt that her footwork was becoming slower and she began to feel anxious. At that very moment…
Gu Cheon-se was seen pulling out a large dark green lump from within his arms again.
Tiriring!
The system is busy today.
[Information about one of the ‘108 (108) bases’ has been captured. You can check the information through the ‘Status Window’. Would you like to check now?” (Y/N)]
Yes. Once you know what it is, you can figure out a way out.
[This is the result of the IBRE DB system search.]
Name: Simadan (僿魔團)
Classification: 4th level
Series: Hwandanryu
Characteristics: Daemyeonglei (大明雷), which can be said to be the poison of poisons that exist in Nanman, is poisonous in its fruit. Although it is at the center of poison, latent toxicity remains even at its roots. The root alone has the potential to kill thousands of people, but if it is diluted to a low concentration over a long period of time and made into a pill along with other antidotes, it is possible to make a pill that can instantly neutralize all poisons. Although there are differences depending on the user, the efficacy is known to be about half an hour to one hour. It is known that an unknown imperial council member created the secret recipe during the Sui Dynasty. The vegetation of Daemyeongnoe is difficult and it is very difficult to find.]
Well, it didn’t matter.
Anyway, Han Ibi didn’t even know that the poison of Madokwoong-ri was repeating rebirth and extinction in her blood.
‘Even if I misunderstood, I clearly misunderstood… But now that I’ve eaten that pill, I’m sure they’ll want to engage in close combat. The real big deal starts now!’
Sure enough….
Gu Cheon-se, who had no fun with memorization and black ink, was approaching 22-year-old Han Ibi.
Seeing that his majestic standing sword had shrunk like a balloon, Gu Tianse must have been very serious right now.
He untied what was tied on his back and took it in his hands.
It was quite long and seemed to be made of solid cast iron, with the front curved into a ‘Y’ shape and the end sharp like a sharp spear.
‘That’s a pretty unique memorization… Anyway, it looks like something I’ve seen before somewhere… Hmm, that’s right! That looks like a wooden carrier to prevent it from tipping over…’
But before I could even finish thinking, the stick of Gucheonse flew in.
‘Taebo’ and ‘Yibo’ appeared at the same time in Han Ibi’s Bagua Window.
He hurriedly stepped and dodged the stick.
At the same time, he took out the mysterious sword that was in his arms.
Gu Cheon-se’s eyes brightened slightly.
“Hoo. What a strange guy… Looking at the blue aura on the blade, it must be a ‘famous sword’ disguised as being crude. “I saw you and picked mulberries… hehehe, it went well.”
Han Ibi smiled bitterly.
The main specialty of the Nine Heavens is fearlessness. Haven’t we already confirmed that his specialty is stealing?
So it was not surprising that he had an eye for good weapons.
It was then.
‘Ugh… Why is my chest so tight…’
Han Ibi suddenly felt a tightness in her solar plexus.
He opened the status window in an instant to check the operation of internal power.
Then, a black energy bloomed at the end of the solar plexus…
It must have originated from the Great Law of Hongmong.
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
The energy was very different from the inner law of the political faction, Zhongli Mingjeongsimbeop, but despite this, they never once caused trouble with each other.
But today… today was very different.
For a moment, Han Ibi felt scared.
‘According to Master Hongmong’s words, he goes on a rampage and tries to turn his master into a slave… But he has been quiet so far… I wonder if he is trying to expand his momentum by attempting self-harming earlier… ‘
That thought was half right and half wrong.
This is because the reason why Hong Mong Dae-beop had behaved calmly until now was because he had to fight day and night with the deadly poison of Madok Woong-ri.
However, the magical power of Hongmongdaebeop was that its properties became stronger the more it was used.
In other words, the inner energy of Hongmong Dabeop, which had revealed its potential while attempting self-dissolution techniques a little while ago, was trying to expand its influence further.
Therefore, the energy of Zhongli Myeongjeongsimbeop, which sensed a fraudulent energy, naturally exerted force to suppress that energy, and the silent and fierce battlefield was none other than the area of Han Ibi’s solar plexus.
It was then.
“Hehe. What do you mean, absent-mindedly thinking about something else during a fight? You have so much free time, it looks like you haven’t shown off your full potential yet! “Let’s stick together for once!”
Gu Cheon-se shouted and at the same time strongly stabbed the stick.
