Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 319

Episode 319

Those who light the holy fire (1)

Easy profit!

A sharp sword wind tore through the air.

The sword wind was sharp, but the actual movement of the sword was slow and smooth. It was a martial art of the Shaman faction that specialized in the swordsmanship of Hu and Yu, Hubalseonje and Saryangbalcheongeun.

‘hmm.’

Okcheong shook his head.

‘As expected, it only looks plausible, but it would be difficult to use in real life.’

It may have seemed amazing to someone who read energy, but it was actually a disappointing sword for Okcheong, the caster.

If Okcheong had not joined the Mortal Death Army and still devoted himself to training in the mountains, he too would have passed away satisfied. However, for Okcheong, who had learned about practical combat, the current sword strike was only superficially attractive and had no practical use.

‘The shaman’s sword is completely different from the sword techniques of the secular world. The sword of the main mountain was developed as a tool to thoroughly realize the Way. When it comes to the sword’s will, it is more mysterious than any sword technique in the central plains, but it is difficult to use in actual combat.’

That did not mean that the shaman’s sword technique was wrong.

In other words, it is a matter of enlightenment. All high-level martial arts have this aspect, but in particular, the martial arts of a shaman vary in sword power depending on enlightenment and mindset.

Even if you learn it properly, it is not a martial art that can be used by dogs or cows. However, as is the case with excellent martial arts, once you reach a certain level, the power realized through that realization overwhelms actual combat.

There was a reason why the martial arts shown by the elders and above of the Shaman sect were world-class. Since they were already well-versed in shaman martial arts, they had no problems with the difficult activities of a strongman without having to experience actual combat.

‘Not me.’

Okcheong acknowledged his limitations.

‘Maybe Master wanted me to follow the same path as the elders. But I won’t go down that path.’

Okcheong finally found out. Teacher, the reason why Tak Mu-ja, the strongest master of the shaman faction, said that he was born with the talent of a martial god.

This is because Okcheong’s mentality and skeleton were specialized in shaman martial arts. In other words, if Okcheong had continued his training without joining the Mortal Army, he would have been able to put all the martial arts of a shaman into practice within a few years.

However, the teacher’s wishes and Okcheong’s eyes were directed in completely different directions.

‘I don’t want to become a hermit. Now that I am born into this world, I want to travel around the world and experience many things.’

That desire also played a part in why my training stayed in place for several years.

Many factors, including his teacher’s expectations, the congratulations of his executioners, the envy of his superiors, and Okcheong’s own wishes, put the brakes on his achievement.

‘I finally feel alive now.’

He joined the Mortal Army and fought against the evildoers.

It’s a battle between words and evildoers, and in the end, there’s bloodshed. Okcheong was still not used to seeing blood.

However, I realized that there should be no hesitation when crossing swords with an enemy. Just by realizing that one thing, Okcheong’s martial arts skills grew as if they had gained wings.

“Whoa.”

Okcheong quenched his appetite.

“As a disciple of a Taoist master, you always think of the sword to kill. This is not the right path either.”

Recently, after training with soldiers, no matter how tired I was, I swung the shaman’s sword alone. As a disciple of a shaman, it was so that my mind would not become clouded.

Still, it seemed like he had been holding the flesh sword for a long time. Even as you practice Seongeom, you can see that you are already remembering the techniques of using a real sword.

“I have to reflect.”

It was when Okcheong was about to take the sword and enter the living quarters.

‘huh?’

Okcheong turned around.

From far away, a swordsman with a sharp and heavy prayer was walking.

‘Is that person…?’

He was a young man whom Yeon Ho-jeong once brought to the training ground of the Immortal Army.

The name is Gangryang. Although he was very rough, he was a young expert with a great deal of prayer.

After a while, Kang Ryang stood in front of Ok Cheong.

“hello.”

Okcheong also responded to Kang Ryang’s greeting.

“yes. But how did you come here at this late hour…?”

“It’s late at night, but I have one favor to ask of my friend.”

“For me?”

Kang Ryang spoke bluntly.

“Is it possible to use a secret sword?”

Okcheong’s eyes widened.

“Are you talking to me?”

“That’s right.”

“Why me…?”

I know that Yeon Ho-jeong cares about Kang Ryang a lot. In private, I heard that they are like brother and sister.

Why did he come to see me out of the blue, saying that if he had no achievements with the sword, he could just ask Yeon Ho-jeong?

Kang Ryang smiled faintly.

“I want to share the sword with many people. That’s all.”

Okcheong also smiled.

When I first saw him, his eyes seemed somehow unstable.

But not now. His eyes, full of strong will, proved that his heart was as strong as anyone else’s.

Okcheong took control.

“I hope we can learn a lot from each other.”

“thank you.”

Chaaaang!

The two men drew their swords without any hesitation.

Okcheong, who was carefully looking at Kang Ryang, tilted her head as a thought suddenly occurred to her.

“But it’s a small river.”

“yes?”

“This may be random, but can I ask you a question?”

“of course.”

“Is the commander very busy these days? “You haven’t shown your face at all lately.”

If Kang Ryang’s prayer was so harsh that it could not be ignored, Ok Cheong would not have dared to think about anything else. That’s probably why there isn’t enough rainfall.

But Kang Ryang was not offended at all. He knew his own shortcomings better than anyone else.

Kang Yang answered with a smile.

“I don’t know, but you are working tirelessly for peace in the North.”

“For the sake of peace….”

“Can we start now?”

“ah! sorry. “Let’s get started.”

Faaagh!

Two people jumped towards each other at the same time.

* * *

Ki Woo-hee’s eyes deepened.

Slurp.

Mukbi came into her room.

“What about Commander Yeon?”

“I caught up. I came to prepare for any unexpected situation. “I will protect you, Congressman.”

Ki Woo-hee smiled.

“I feel reassured.”

Mo Fei put down the Hong Lotus Palace and looked in all directions. The room was blocked on all sides except for one window, but her eyes scanned the unseen places.

Ki Woo-hee didn’t say that she didn’t need to be sharp like this. He didn’t bother to explain that he could catch any assassin with his innate senses.

“But Manager Mook.”

“Say yes.”

Even as he answered, he remained silent and his eyes were shining sharply.

“Director Mook, do you know much about the Three Religions?”

“Not at all.”

“okay.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“no. “I was just curious.”

“Which part?”

“Isn’t it normal for people from Central Plains to not know about the Three Religions? “Like Manager Mook.”

“Yes. Since they did not reveal themselves, there is no way to know unless you are a very small number of people who come into contact with them.”

“But Commander Yeon knows the Three Religions very well. “In some ways, I think you know more than I do.”

Mukbi smiled.

“There is a saying that the person who knows a sheep well is not the sheep, but the wolf.”

“Are you saying you know it well because you’re a hunter?”

“That’s just the way it is. “What can even a hunter know about prey he has never seen before?”

Mukbi did not explain the return of Yeonhojeong. He wouldn’t believe it, and even if the moment came when he had to talk, the speaker shouldn’t have been him.

Ki Woo-hee, who was tilting his head, smiled at a thought that suddenly occurred to him.

“Director Mook really trusts Commander Yeon very deeply.”

“Sure.”

“Is there a story?”

How can I tell that long story briefly?

Mukbi said with a slight smile.

“It’s fun to go out together. “It will probably be quite sweet and bloody this time too.”

Ki Woo-hee’s smile became a little bitter.

“okay.”

“But what kind of fake information did you give me? “The practitioner didn’t tell me.”

Ki Woo-hee opened his eyes wide.

“Didn’t you hear?”

“yes.”

“Oh my…”

“Why? “Is this information that could be problematic?”

“Oh no. “To say that it is problematic information… Of course, it may be problematic in some ways.”

Mukbi’s eyes turned to Ki Woohee for the first time.

Ki Woo-hee opened his mouth with a look on his face as if he could speak.

“It was information about none other than Commander Yeon.”

“…!!”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

‘Here you go.’

The liaison’s residence was Sogangdan (???), the outer wall of the Murim League.

Sogangdan was a place where food ingredients brought in from outside were managed. As it was a food warehouse that controlled the entire internal and external affairs of the Murim League, it was very large in size.

‘You have a great sense of smell.’

Since this is a place where various food ingredients are stored and managed, the smell of dried food ingredients is quite strong.

While living in a place like that, I smell the scent of Chujong wafting from my inner city. No matter how trained I was, my sense of smell was incredible. Considering the distance and environment, it was better than Gaeko.

‘So you might be less suspicious.’

If Ki Woo-hee’s fraudulent activities are discovered, she will also have to reveal how she relayed the information.

If you say you used Chujonghyang at that time, people will first look at you with suspicion. As a liaison, it can be said to be a simple yet effective workplace.

Slurp.

Yeon Ho-jeong hid in the tree.

After a while.

Food is great.

A small bird flew up.

Yeonhojeong’s eyes flashed.

‘No.’

At first I thought it was Jeon Seo-gu, but that wasn’t the case. Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes, which had stretched his eyesight to the limit, caught the sight of nothing tied to the bird’s ankle.

‘I flew it first to prepare for an unexpected situation.’

Indeed, Yeonhojeong’s judgment was correct.

After half an hour, another bird flew up from the contact’s residence.

Paralock!

The sound of the wings was quieter than before, but it was faster.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

‘That’s it.’

Wow!

Yeon Ho-jeong immediately followed after the bird.

The speed of the bird was fast. There was nothing you couldn’t do if you wanted to catch it, but the problem was that you couldn’t use Hyeokikhwicheon or Cheonjongununbi because you had to get out of the outer castle without anyone knowing.

Whoa!

Nevertheless, Yeonhojeong’s new law was quick and secret.

By forming Yeongasindan, the density of internal force was much higher than before. You can run ten miles in one go with the strength of a fingernail.

In addition, the speed has also become faster. Although it was impossible to outrun the bird, it was easy to follow closely behind it.

Huh.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s body, covered in black, climbed over the outer wall of the fortress without anyone noticing.

It goes over the incredibly tall castle walls without making any sound. His body movements and use of his magic skills were at a divine level.

Wow!

After crossing the outer fortress, Yeonhojeong’s speed became faster. It’s quite an explosive movement, but since forming Yeonga Shindan, his endurance has also increased significantly.

Elasticity, explosiveness, endurance, everything has improved. Yeon Ho-jeong chased after the bird with confidence.

How long did it run like that?

‘…!!’

Finally, I saw the bird slowly descending.

The place where the bird, which was slowly descending, finally disappeared was at a place in the mountains a little away from a private house.

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled brightly.

Phew!

His new brother quickly approached Mo-ok.
