Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 25

Episode 25.

Gust (5)

“Grand Duke, are you okay?”

“….”

“Grand Duke?!”

“hmm? “Oh, did you call me?”

“yes. “I wonder if you’re okay…”

“I’m okay. “I didn’t even warm up properly.”

“I see.”

A look of embarrassment appeared on Shinmo’s face.

Yeon Ho-jeong said with an apologetic look.

“I caused an accident for no reason, so your position doesn’t make sense. “I’m sorry.”

“Oh no! “How can you say such a thing?”

“I have a lot to think about today. “I’ll buy you a glass of cider tomorrow.”

“Cider. “That is absurd.”

Shinmo lowered her head.

“I’m glad you’re okay. “Please rest well.”

“You too, get some rest.”

“Just in case, we will deploy emergency responders near the accommodation.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was about to say that there was no need for that, nodded. If you don’t set a boundary, Shinmo will become more anxious.

I didn’t want to make others worry anymore.

“Thank you.”

“If you do it, that’s enough.”

As Shinmo left the room, Yeon Ho-jeong turned his eyes to the window.

The banquet, which started shortly after noon, was canceled before half-hour. So the day was still bright.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which were looking out the window, were filled with cold darkness.

‘Is it a famous family?’

Although he showed a nonchalant appearance in order to close the incident, his senses were still focused on Myeong Ho-rim.

‘Same. Like Zhuge or Pengjia, I’m not yet at the stage of being sure. But…’

Although it was a little hasty, Yeon Ho-jeong trusted her intuition. I trusted my instincts.

A strong sense of discomfort was felt in Myung Ho-rim’s inner strength.

To be exact, it was different from the inner power unleashed by the family’s evil beasts. Considering only the similarity in temperament, it would have been correct to say that they were completely different martial arts.

However, Myeong Ho-rim’s internal skills were different from the martial arts skills of the midfielder. It was as if a wolf was wearing the skin of a sheep and introducing itself as a sheep.

It could be said that the rough and unsightly energy was well refined to fit the mood of the midfielder. It is true that the color of the skill changes depending on the personality of the person who trained it, but I felt that Myeong Ho-rim’s skill was not fundamentally that of Jungwon.

‘It’s a shame. If I had pushed him properly, I would have been able to see his true skills.’

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was sighing, momentarily tilted his head.

“But how did the famous family fall?”

After learning martial arts from my teacher and returning down the mountain, I conquered the Black Island and turned my eyes to the world.

At that time, the famous family had already disappeared. It is said that it was not destroyed by someone like Yeonga, but the family’s fortunes suddenly declined and fell apart in less than three years.

Yeon Ho-jeong stroked his chin with a nervous expression.

“How on earth?”

If a family like the Nine Zhou Myeong family had fallen, there was no way he wouldn’t have paid attention as he was beginning to shake up the history of the Black Island at the time. To be precise, it would have been right for him to have heard the information about the famous family.

However, he did not receive any information about the famous family. I’ve been busy laying the foundation for the Black Emperor Castle, but isn’t this a bit harsh?

“Did someone control the information?”

The information power of the Black Island faction is sharper and faster than that of the White Island political faction.

In the early days of Heukje Castle, Yeon Ho-jeong also held the important responsibility of being head of information. At least among the people playing with information in Heukdo, there was no one who could avoid Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

‘Could it be from the martial arts faction?’

One thought after another.

Even if you try to shake it off, you can’t. The important thing is whether or not the famous family is an evil beast, but my thoughts keep flowing in that direction.

Yeon Ho-jeong had been thinking about that for a while.

“Your Majesty.”

Shinmo’s voice was heard outside the door.

“huh?”

“The eldest daughter of the Zhuge family has come to visit. What should I do?”

She was a new mother who clearly drew a line even when it came to personal relationships. Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“Let me in.”

It rattled.

As if he had been waiting, Zhuge Yan came in.

She looked even more lively after changing from bright green clothes to more active clothes.

“What are you doing alone? “Sit by the window.”

“Why did you come?”

Zhuge Yan grumbled.

“But when a guest comes, you have to tell them to sit down, right?”

“sit down.”

“filled?”

“Drink it yourself.”

“It’s tricky.”

Zhuge Yan sat down and made a sound. I felt like I was feeling tired.

“How do you feel?”

“Okay.”

“I see. You look so good that it’s embarrassing to worry about you next to me. Actually, I didn’t even think you had the skills to play around with that idiot from the Tang family.”

No matter how ignorant he was of the world, Dangyangseon was the legitimate eldest son of the Tang family. There is no way that the Tang family would have lightly taught its eldest son, who would later represent the family.

Zhuge Yan looked at Yeon Ho-jeong’s face.

Yeon Ho-jeong was still looking at the window with an expression that did not know what he was thinking.

She had many things she wanted to ask Yeon Ho-jeong.

I was curious about how he became so strong, why he was so obsessed with Myeong Ho-rim, and what he was thinking.

‘Whoa.’

She sighed inwardly and smiled brightly.

“If anything happens later, I can hide behind you.”

“So what is your business?”

“Go away the stick that your father used to carry when you were young. “I just came to see your face.”

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

As Zhuge Zhenyeon prepared to grit his teeth in fear of saying something blunt again.

“Thank you.”

“…Huh?”

“Thank you.”

Zhuge Yan blinked his eyes.

“Thank you? what?”

“For defending me in time. Thanks to you, I was able to put an end to the incident. “It’s thanks to you.”

“…Why are you suddenly acting like this doesn’t suit me? “It’s cold.”

“The technique of catching the horse’s tail is excellent. “The Jegal clan is the Jegal clan.”

“A horse’s tail? “I’d like you to call it speaking skills.”

“You could have aimed at Ilshin Yangmyeong with three inches of your tongue.”

“Is it a compliment or an insult?”

“Thank you.”

“Okay! That’s it! Tsk tsk tsk! “You might as well not say thank you!”

“Then pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“You don’t like it?”

Yeon Ho-jeong turned his head. There was a clear expression that he did not want to mix words.

Zhuge Zhen’s face became slightly flushed.

I was so embarrassed that I blurted it out without realizing it, but in fact, it felt good. Especially since I know that I am a person who does not easily say thank you to others.

I felt frustrated for no reason, so I came to comfort him, but I received an unexpected greeting. I didn’t really want to mention it, but in this atmosphere, I felt like I could say something.

“Be a little more cautious from now on.”

“I get it.”

“…Hi-Hi.”

“What is that treacherous smile?”

“How treacherous!”

She got upset and then let out a helpless sigh.

“Tch, you’re stronger than me, so I can’t even hit you… Ah!”

Zhuge Zhen’s face became a little more serious.

“I have something to ask you.”

“What.”

“It was there during the Chosunru period. That guy called Brain Fire Ark.”

“What is he?”

“I’ve been wanting to ask you for a long time, how did you hurt that guy?”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“Is there a special way to hurt someone? “All I did was hit him with the intent to kill him.”

“That’s not it…”

Ugh.

Strong energy bloomed from Zhuge Zhen’s hands. At the same time, the scent of birch trees began to fill Yeonhojeong’s room.

“The main family’s Xuanyuan Zhendan Shen Technique is said to be one of the few secret techniques. And my attack went right into his abdomen.”

Even if you hit without focusing on internal energy, the abdomen is a dangerous area. Since so many internal organs are crumpled up, if you get hit incorrectly, it can lead to inability to act and, in extreme cases, death.

“But let alone falling down, he didn’t even look like he was in pain. But it’s not like his strength is several times stronger than mine.”

“It’s a difference in the nature of energy.”

“huh? Property?”

Yeon Ho-jeong said as if it was no big deal.

“The level of heat-yang technique he has mastered is very high. In other words, the inner energy itself contains fire energy. But your inner strength is centered around wood energy.”

“…?!”

“If you throw a piece of firewood into a burning bonfire, will the fire go out? “In fact, it burns even stronger.”

Zhuge Zhen was dumbfounded.

“No matter how different the fundamental nature of internal skills are, the difference between martial arts is clear…”

“That damn martial art is not a simple grab. “He is a martial artist who was once said to be the best in the world.”

“what?”

“The Yin Hwa Hong Ryu (????), which is famous for being the two major seasons of the Yin God (??) along with the Yin Han Baek Ryu (????), is the martial art he learned.”

Sound body? Yinhwahongryu?

Zhuge Yan frowned.

“I’m a martial artist you’ve never heard of?”

It has to be that way. It was only after Yeon Ho-jeong became the Lord of Heukje Seong that he learned about the existence of the evil spirit.

Eumshin was the king of the assassin world.

The Eumsin during the time of the Lord of the Black Emperor was the Eumsin after a generational change, so its performance was ambiguous. However, in the case of Jeondae Eumsin, he was a mythical being who succeeded in all 99 assassinations except for one.

And after that one failed assassination, he disappeared until he could train a successor.

“No matter what, the reason you weren’t even the slightest bit shocked…”

“That’s because you two have low achievements.”

“ah?”

“Even when it reaches the extreme, it is difficult to ignore compatibility. This is why there may be a person who is the best in the world, but there can be no one who is absolutely invincible. Because heaven will never tolerate solitude.”

“….”

“Well, he doesn’t seem to have learned even three percent of the Yin Hwa Red Ryu, let alone the Yin Han White Ryu.”

“Three percent…”

Zhuge Yan’s face became serious.

“It’s only about 30%.”

“Whether it is 30% or 100%, it is important to learn it as deeply as possible within the extent of what you have learned. “He and you have only scratched the surface of divine skill.”

“I feel strange because I feel like I’m somehow grouped into the same category.”

“It’s none of my business.”

“Tch.”

Zhuge Yan sighed deeply. I came to the comfort car out of concern, but I ended up feeling sad for no reason.

“There may be the best person in the world, but there is no absolute invincibility? “That is correct.”

“If you’ve done all your business, now…”

“But there’s one person, right?”

“what?”

“The one who was called absolutely invincible in the history of martial arts.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“If you are talking about Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin…”

“No, not Master Bodhidharma. “There was a legendary warrior who conquered the Hyeolgyojiran (????) 300 years ago, when the martial arts were at their peak.”

“Three hundred years ago? who?”

“I don’t know?”

“I don’t know. “I’m busy living right now, so what happened 300 years ago?”

“I heard he’s a really amazing guy. “I thought you could see through the principles of the world like a ghost, but that famous person doesn’t know?”

“I hate studying history.”

“It’s worth knowing.”

“So who is that amazing person?”

Although the tone was no different from before, it somehow sounded sarcastic to Zhuge Yan.

She said with a snort.

“If you hear it, you’ll miss it too, right?”

“So who is it?”

“Emperor of the Four Directions.”

“Unlimited in all directions?”

“You really didn’t know? “You’re amazing too.”

“It’s extremely childish to have a star name.”

“Don’t say that. To us Baekdo martial arts people, he is a person who is valued more highly than Master Bodhidharma. “If he hadn’t been able to quell the bloodshed at that time, the world would have become hell by now, right?”

Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.

“The world is still hellish enough.”

“Wow, it’s dark. “You’re such a dark guy.”

“Noisy.”

“Anyway, if Four Directions Wu Emperor’s skills are the same as in history, wouldn’t he definitely be called absolutely invincible? “It is said that he has mastered not one, but four types of martial arts to the limit.”

“Four martial arts?”

“huh. It is said that no martial arts in the world can match it in terms of attack, defense and evasion. “I heard that it also deals with the yin and yang energy?”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.

“Attack, defense, evasion, and yin and yang?”

“That’s right. Well, since he is such a deified person, I think there can be no exaggeration. Later, he was also called the Yellow Dragon Emperor (???) because he even commanded a golden dragon. “I think that went too far.”

“….”

“anyway! Don’t live in such a dull world. There won’t be many interesting things in life….”

“….”

“Jeong-ah?”

Zhuge Zhen was embarrassed.

It was the first time she saw Yeon Ho-jeong’s blank expression.

‘Unlimited everywhere? Command a golden dragon?’

Perfect attack, defense and evasion. And yin and yang.

There’s a golden dragon there?

“Um…I don’t know why, but I said something unnecessary…”

“Tell me more.”

“Uh huh?”

Lightning struck Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.

“Tell me in detail about the person called Four Directions.”
