Episode 883 Those who are drunk on past glory are dead. (3)
Ugh!
A sword loaded with great power fell on my head.
The single-minded blood beast frowned and took a couple of steps back. The sword that passed right in front of his face stopped high in the air like a lie, and then rushed towards his neck at the speed of a flash.
‘Tsk.’
The Danhon Blood Beast twisted its body and struck off the side of the flying sword with its hand. The sword was bent with a thudding sound, but the tip of the sword quickly returned to its original position and the direction it flew did not change at all.
The sword grazed his shoulder and drew red blood.
For a moment, the bright blue color of life appeared in the eyes of the single-minded blood beast.
Oooooh!
A thick, blood-red force spurted out from both his hands, accompanied by a sound like hundreds of bees flying at the same time.
Paaaat!
Soon, the tension of the Danhon Blood Beast flew toward the phenomenon like a bloody thunderbolt.
Bullfight!
Then, the phenomenon twisted the sword and struck away the flying tension with the blade. However, this is something that even single-marital couples could have expected!
Paaaaaa!
The single soul blood beast released dozens of tensions one after another. A red-blooded river flew in with the force to cover the entire body of the phenomenon.
The phenomenon’s eyes darkened for a moment. His sword, which took a short pause, collided with the tension of the single soul blood beast flying in, creating dozens of remnants at the same time.
bang! Kwaaaaang! Quang! Quang!
A series of heavy drinking erupted.
Due to the strong repulsion, the Danhon Blood Beast took four or five steps back. I could endure it if I wanted to, but there was no need to push myself.
“….”
What caught his eye was the appearance of a phenomenon standing firmly in place without taking a single step back.
They must have felt the same backlash, but one side stepped back and the other stayed in place. Of course, it is not possible to evaluate the level of martial arts based on this alone, but it was clear who benefited from this exchange.
The single-minded blood beast’s eyes hardened with tension.
hard.
It feels like tension has been applied to a huge wall. The feeling of touching my fingertips was as firm as Mount Tai.
‘Why has someone like this been hiding all this time?’
I have never heard of a veteran of such skill in Hwasan. If he had this level of skill, he would have been famous no matter how volcanic a school he joined.
That wasn’t the only thing that was puzzling.
“That way.”
The phenomenon made eye contact with the single-minded beast’s voice that sounded like it was scraping metal.
“…It seems like the quality of the sword technique you use is very different from that of your students, don’t you think?”
When I heard those words, I was filled with sorrow.
“It’s something that can’t be helped. “Because I don’t have youth like those kids.”
The volcano sword is extremely flashy and agile. When you see children wielding swords, the phenomenon is astounding.
But…
when Phenomenon was at the peak of his sword training, there was no such sword skills left in Hwasan. When the true sword of volcanoes returned to volcanoes, he had reached an age where it was difficult to learn new swords.
Those children were like a blank slate. So I could accept anything. Because you can write anything on a blank piece of paper.
But it was not a phenomenon. He had already spent decades learning a different sword than those kids.
Isn’t it impossible to write new letters on paper that is already heavily written? It was also close to impossible for him to renew everything he had learned so far and completely accept the new martial arts.
But…
‘What does it matter?’
The phenomenon did not despair.
He doesn’t have to be like those kids. It’s okay to say that gorgeous plum blossoms don’t bloom at your fingertips. Because he is no longer the one who blooms. Because he is the person who should be the solid root that supports those children so that they can bloom.
“A little late and a little dull. Instead, it will be a little harder.”
“….”
The Danhon Blood Beast’s eyes sink.
He knew from long experience that these people were more difficult to deal with.
And he doesn’t have time to leisurely decide the winner. The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable, and if we wait longer, we will not be given a chance to escape even if we win.
but.
Crack.
The sound of the joints loosening from the Danhon blood beast’s fingers rang out sharply.
That doesn’t mean I’m afraid. The fact that he was unable to make a name for himself even with this level of skill means that he had little experience in actual combat.
‘No matter how old you are, if you haven’t experienced real combat, you’re still a kid.’
He lowered his posture slightly. I know better than anyone else when these people are most embarrassed.
“You only say things like that after surviving, old man!”
Tooung!
His toes pushed the ground once.
Soon, the single-horned beasts, almost crawling on the floor, rushed right in front of the phenomenon. Then he pressed his feet against the floor and turned his body.
As soon as he turns his body, he kicks the ground again and shoots towards the phenomenon. A bright blue light flowed from his eyes as he moved violently in a snake-like motion and rushed diagonally.
Of course, looking at the swords of those young guys, it is clear that they have gone through hardships that are difficult to imagine. But training is ultimately just training. In real combat, where life and death can be determined in a split second, a moment of embarrassment is bound to lead to a fatal mistake.
‘And as people get older, their ability to improvise becomes less powerful!’
The single soul beast’s hands, which closed the distance with a bizarre movement, turned an eerie dark red and were bent like hawk’s claws. And it was stretched out, aiming for the ankle of the phenomenon.
Awesome!
At that moment, the sword of the phenomenon flew like a thunderbolt and aimed at Wu Wu of the Danhon Blood Beast aiming for the ankle. The intention was to pierce his hand and plunge the sword into the floor.
However, the single-minded blood beast twisted its hand and pushed the side of the flying sword away with its palm, as if it had been waiting for that.
Let’s go!
As the sword surface and hand came into contact, a horrifying sound, like scraping metal, erupted.
The raised blade sharpens even the edge of the sword. The skin on his hand was cut and blood spurted out. However, in return, he succeeded in causing the sword that was thrust downward to become stuck in the ground instead of his hand.
At that moment, the single-honed blood beast’s eyes radiated an eerie light. He instantly flipped his body upward and swung both hands like lightning.
Kwakwakwakwa!
Red water exploded from bottom to top. It looked like red blood was pouring out of the ground.
But the grotesqueness itself was more dangerous than the eerieness of the scene. Even if you have been through quite a bit of battlefield experience, have you ever experienced tension rushing like a storm from beneath your feet?
With that one move, the single-minded blood beast clearly proved who he was.
bang!
As expected, the phenomenon seemed to be unable to find a way to deal with the attack that seemed to spring up from below, so it kicked off the ground, drew its sword, and launched itself into the air.
At the same time, his sword urgently struck down the men who were fiercely pursuing him.
But that was exactly what the single-married bloodslayer wanted.
bang!
The Danhon Blood Beast hit the ground violently with his hand. And with the recoil, I chased after the phenomenon that rose into the air like an arrow. There was a hint of venom that they would not give up victory once they had won it.
Those who run away and those who pursue.
At that moment, Phenomenon kicked the air once, widened the distance between him and the Danhon Blood Beast a little more and raised his sword.
Wooooow!
The sword of the phenomenon containing powerful sword energy at the end drew a neat line from top to bottom.
The human body made of bones and flesh seemed to be split in two at once with just the energy of the sword strike. However, the moment he saw that dangerous sword, pleasure filled the eyes of the single-minded blood beast.
‘Got caught!’
Gooooooo!
As he brought up all his strength, his hands soon turned from red to black.
“Haaaaaap!”
The single-minded beast let out a loud roar and rushed back towards the flying sword. Then he crossed his hands and grabbed the sword.
Kagagak! Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak! Let’s go!
An eerie friction sound resounded, as if a sharp blade was scraping rust on iron. The sword of the phenomenon, caught in the hand of the blood, flew wild like a live fish caught in the hand of a fisherman, literally cutting off his hand.
However, even as his palm was being cut open, the Danhon Blood Beast held on to the sword of phenomenon and did not let go.
‘A swordsman is nothing without a sword anyway!’
A sword strike without being able to step firmly on the ground like usual is bound to lose strength. It may be sharp, but it is hardly powerful. In that case, he can be easily suppressed with his own hands.
I’ve dealt with these guys many times. I never get tired of seeing the faces of those who showed off their fancy swords with a relaxed look turning pale.
Quad deuk!
The Danhon Blood Beast, who had driven the blade harder into the bone of his hand and completely fixed it, turned his gaze towards the phenomenon. There is no way not to check what kind of expression he is making at this moment.
But… single-marital bloodsuckers couldn’t do that.
What he saw was not the face of the phenomenon, but something blunt quickly approaching his face.
Even before confirming its identity, the single-minded blood beast’s eyes widened. And as soon as I realized that it was the phenomenon’s elbow, the enormous shock that hit me directly in the face instantly blew my consciousness away.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
Darkness.
The world turned black for a moment and then regained light. And what the single-horned bloodthirsty saw was a pure blue sky.
“Ugh….”
Soon, an incredible pain came over my face as if it was crushing me.
‘This…’
Before I could organize my thoughts, my instincts took over. The moment he tried to twist his body to avoid the attack that followed, his hands were pulled straight as if they were tied by something.
‘what?’
The moment his body, which had been tilted as if it would collapse at any moment, was forcibly pulled up, what caught his eye was the same elbow he had seen a moment ago.
Kwaaaaang!
The single soul beast’s body flew away like a cannonball fired from a gun. He bounced, leaving a large mark on the floor, and fell back down, spraying blood everywhere.
“Cough!” Cough!”
Before I could even moan in pain, the blood that had crawled up my throat continued to be pushed out of my mouth. With just two attacks, the inside was completely turned inside out.
“Off…”
As he tried to raise himself by placing his hands on the floor, his body fell down again. The cross section of his hand, which had been cut straight, appeared in my blurry vision.
“Cough! Cough!”
However, what bothered the Danhon blood beast was not the terrible pain felt from his completely sunken face or the shock of having the hand that had always protected him cut off.
It was this incomprehensible situation itself.
‘How…’
I know with my head.
The moment he put the sword in his hand and fixed it, the author pulled the sword, dragged him in, and at the same time slashed his face with the elbow of the left arm that was not holding the sword.
The sword was driven into the bone and perfectly fixed, so there was no way for the single-minded beast to escape.
Yes, I understand what happened. Here’s how it happened!
But how could that old man make such a perfect response in an instant? By nature, the person holding the sword is bound to go blank and not know what to do the moment the sword is overpowered by the opponent…
Tak.
At that moment, the phenomenon that landed in front of him stared at the Danhon Blood Beast with solemn eyes.
“It wasn’t a bad move, but I overlooked one thing.”
“….”
The Danhon Blood Beast whimpered and looked up at him, struggling to lift its head in terrible pain. His eyes were full of doubts.
Overlooked?
The phenomenon calmly opened its mouth as if to answer the question.
“From my perspective, your attack is neither bizarre nor anomalous. Rather, I should say that it is extremely obvious. Unfortunately, there are people in the volcano who don’t mind blocking flying swords with their teeth.”
“….”
“It would have been a better game if we hadn’t rushed so quickly.”
Phenomenon shook his head lightly and raised his sword.
“The reason you lost was because you underestimated your opponent. And on the battlefield, the one who lets his guard down is the first to die. Just like that guy said.”
The single-minded blood beast’s face distorted. No, the face was so damaged that it could not be distorted any further, so it would be more accurate to say that it was grotesquely distorted.
‘It’s obvious?’
My blood-soaked shoulders trembled slightly.
‘Are you saying that I was the one who wasn’t used to fighting?’
A moan escaped from the single-minded blood beast’s mouth.
“Ugh…”
The pain caused by the phenomenon’s words was greater than the pain felt physically. Eventually, the moans turned into animal-like howls.
“This…. you piece of shit! Aaaaaaa!”
Suddenly.
At that moment, the sword of phenomenon cut off the head of the Danhon Blood Beast in one fell swoop.
chin.
His head, still contorted in pain, fell to the floor and rolled.
“But it would be a fitting end for you. Go to hell and apologize for the sins you have committed so far.”
He shook off his sword, caught a glimpse of the body of the single-honed blood beast that had lost its head and collapsed, and turned around without hesitation.
