Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Chapter 678

?Episode 678.

Where does the blood flow? (3)

‘It’s him.’

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.

The moment I caught sight of myself, the other person was running towards me at a frightening speed.

‘That guy is the leader.’

A thick tendon sprouted from Yeon Ho-jeong’s chin.

A strange ominous feeling that I felt from the head mountain in Jongnam.

The ominousness was enough to remind me of the days of the Emperor of Darkness. At a time when his sensitivity was at its peak due to countless battles, he boasted a sense so acute that he could even read the will of the flowing air.

In other words, their latest attack was that dangerous. So much so that even the enlightenment from the time of the Emperor of Darkness was realized on its own.

The problem was that he was not at a level where he could use the force he had at the time.

Suddenly, my conversation with Paeyul came to mind.

‘If it’s a momentary realization, it’s open to me as well. However, the difference is whether you ignore that realization and only increase your martial arts output, or whether you gain everything with enlightenment, even if the progress is slow.’

‘I have no idea what you’re talking about. Isn’t it the same thing in the end? Only when you gain enlightenment will your power become stronger.’

Enlightenment soon leads to an increase in power.

To the martial people, it was common sense. It is not uncommon to hear of cases where people have become powerful masters by leaping over three or four levels with a ray of enlightenment.

However, in this realm of chaos, enlightenment and rising power cannot be seen as the same.

Enlightenment can have an effect on improving martial arts skills, but on the contrary, it can also cause a decline in skill. Conversely, there are cases where one gains enlightenment while thoroughly increasing one’s combat ability, but in other cases, one loses enlightenment due to the increase in combat ability and becomes a battle doll that only knows how to fight.

During the time of Emperor Heukam, Yeonhojeong was strictly the latter. He was not interested in enlightenment. This was because I lived with the goal of destroying my enemies and the safety of my allies rather than perfecting myself.

Fortunately, I did not experience a decrease in enlightenment due to the increase in power, but there were times when I felt like I had forgotten something or thought about the principles I had acquired as naturally as breathing.

It was starting to break down.

The person who had set foot on the highest level that only the chosen could ascend to had actually lost himself and was becoming a puppet who only knew how to wield a spear or sword.

That was what surprised me again after hearing Ha Eungyo’s words.

‘Being able to handle the ultimate power not allowed to humans also means being able to face ultimate trials that humans cannot endure. Just like when you were eaten alive.’

Although he didn’t show it, he was very shocked by those words.

He entered this state while fighting with the leader of the Gwanghyeolgyo in the Tang family.

However, no attempt was made to truly understand this state. I was only interested in the maximum level of martial arts that could be demonstrated at this level.

In other words, they are conceited that they have acquired something familiar. Since I had reached this level in the past, I assumed I knew everything to some extent.

‘It shouldn’t have been that way.’

It was a moment when it was not enough to focus on the other person, but Yeon Ho-jeong calmly continued her thoughts.

‘That shouldn’t have happened. I am not the emperor of darkness. As the head of the wall coral, I am like him, but completely different. ‘The process of looking into the current state was absolutely necessary.’

I felt sorry again.

It was unfortunate, but also fortunate. Thanks to the rare master named Yin Emperor, he has restored his nearly broken spirit, so from now on, he can solidify his position as the Lord of the Wall Coral rather than the Emperor of Darkness.

And now that I realize it.

Yeonhojeong was able to take another step forward.

Flash!

The somewhat excessive tension disappeared, and the eyes that were full of hostility and worry became as calm as a lake.

I came to a small but important realization that should never be overlooked. In this brief moment, Yeon Ho-jeong became a different person from before she arrived here.

Wooooow!

The Shindan of Gwangmyeong cried out in joy at a ray of enlightenment.

Tsutsutsu.

The energy I had used up on coming here was quickly replenished. Even the minor internal injuries that had not fully healed began to heal as quickly as Jinki’s recovery speed.

‘Amazing.’

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

‘I’ve never seen anything like this before.’

A ray of enlightenment accelerated my body’s recovery speed to the maximum.

Although it did not lead to an increase in military power, it was a very meaningful moment.

Of course, Yeon Ho-jeong did not forget reality.

‘With a quick recovery, my physical condition is improving by the minute. Even so, the gap with the opponent is clear. If it were a simple head-to-head match, it would be hard for me to beat him now.’

It was both a prediction and a certainty.

‘I didn’t come here to win. Also, although the enemy is the leader of the Four Eumsects, I am not the Emperor of Darkness. There’s no need to heat up.’

Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.

‘Like the countless enemies I have faced so far, I hope that the enemy I see now will be remembered as a powerful and meaningful enemy to me in the future.’

and.

hook!

Myeonggeuk has finally reached the peak.

Yeon Ho-jeong opened his eyes.

“….”

The two people looked at each other at a distance of about ten feet.

Even if you become a transcendent expert, you have the power to erase a distance of ten feet in one go. For the two people who reached the top, this distance is far, but it can be said to be extremely close.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

The wind blowing from the high mountain peaks is quite strong.

Myeonggeuk was the first to open his mouth.

“amazing.”

He is a few years older than Geun Man-sang and is almost impossibly old.

However, his voice was clear and lively, like a young man in his twenties. Meanwhile, the way he spoke was strangely languid, giving off a very unique presence.

“Even though I thought it couldn’t be possible, I thought that one of the Thirteen Saints had come to visit. I couldn’t feel his presence, but for some reason, I thought he didn’t come to fight, so I relaxed and came…” “

….”

“I didn’t know he was younger than me. “This is truly amazing.”

Myeonggeuk rarely praised others. That never happened in the first place. This is because during the 40 years that he lived, being called a rare genius, he rarely met anyone who could be acknowledged as being better than him.

But now.

No matter how small it may be, Myeonggeuk felt surprise and admiration rather than jealousy and anger at the fact that a young man ten years younger than himself was in such a state.

“I heard that in Moorim, there are as many extraordinary directors as there are grains of sand on the beach. “Well, I haven’t seen the sea yet.”

“….”

“But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think he’s a retired person.”

Myeonggeuk’s eyes landed on the handles of the hatchet sticking out on either side of Yeonhojeong’s waist.

And also the huge ax in his hand.

“Surely you are Yeon Ho-jeong?”

Yeon Ho-jeong nodded.

“Yes, I am Yeon Ho-jeong.”

“…her!”

Myeonggeuk let out a laugh.

“There’s a lot of talk about it being the best review index in the world, but isn’t this just the level of a review index?”

“Does it look like that?”

“I heard you ruined a lot of our work. “I was wondering what kind of guy he was because he was at the vanguard and harassed him quite a bit…”

Myeonggeuk nodded.

“For a man of this caliber, I understand. “It is completely understandable if the enemy’s true force, which ruined many of the things we had prepared so far, is like this.”

Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes lit up.

“It’s pretty calm.”

“You mean me?”

“Who else is here other than you?”

Even though he is my enemy, I cannot help but feel angry when I hear something like this from a young man younger than me.

However, Myeonggeuk was not angry. Rather, I found it interesting. It was because I did not think I would see such a talented person again in the future.

Myeonggeuk smiled.

He was a person who grew up surrounded by cold winds outside the country, but his smile was as bright as that of a child.

“I was surprised at first. It was strange and suddenly I thought I was crazy. But now you know that’s not the case.”

“I guess there’s no reason to be nervous.”

“There is no reason to be overly nervous.”

Yeon Ho-jeong tilted his head.

“You’re a little different.”

“Me? If you think about the students you’ve met at this school… of course they can’t be the same. “Because everything is different, including the location of martial arts skills.”

That’s not what I meant.

In the past, Yeon Ho-jeong fought with countless masters that Saeumgyo was proud of.

Although he didn’t fight everyone, he dealt with most of the famous people on campus and killed more than half of them.

But this was my first time.

It seemed to have inherited the power of Yin Hwangmu like the Hoyeonjong, but it did not seem to be a pure Yin Hwangmu. Rather than being used in conjunction with another martial arts like Hoyeonjeong, it was emitting prayers that seemed to have been mixed with unknown studies.

‘It’s dangerous.’

The hand holding the Tongcheonbu became cold.

‘I’m sure it’s a study I don’t know anything about. It’s become more dangerous than I thought.’

The only person who can compete with this enemy, this guy, is himself. If the fight started, now or later, the ship would be more dangerous than expected.

“Well, anyway.”

Myeonggeuk sat with his butt on the protruding rock.

It is a comfortable and relaxed posture. He seemed confident that Yeonhojeong would not attack.

“If you are Yeonhojeong, you would have come from Jongnam, and if so, you would know that we came to attack Jongnam.”

“Of course.”

“I don’t know how he read us from that distance, but he’s definitely a lot more sensitive than I thought. “It seems like martial arts skills can’t keep up with the senses.”

“….”

“It appears that the reason he came here in person was not to disintegrate the troops under his command.”

Myeonggeuk asked lazily.

“Have you come to see me?”

Sharp guy.

Yeon Ho-jeong was quite surprised by the other person’s keen insight.

“Yes.”

“There would be no reason for you to come visit me. Except for a few reasons.”

Myeonggeuk smiled.

“If he were confident, he would have tried to kill me right here, but it looks like that’s not the case.”

It’s more than you think.

Until now, it was Yeon Ho-jeong’s job to read the opponent’s intentions and hit the player. So far, no one has followed Yeon Ho-jeong’s wit and intelligence.

But Myeonggeuk was different.

Even though he didn’t know his brains, he seemed to be able to keep up with Yeon Ho-jeong in terms of his senses. The way he approached the truth by pointing things out one by one was extremely similar to that of Yeon Ho-jeong.

“Did you come to buy time?”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly watching a famous play, whetted his appetite.

“Yes, that’s right. “I came here to buy time.”

An unexpected expression appeared on Myeonggeuk’s face.

“You honestly admit that?”

“I don’t think anyone will believe me even if I say no.”

“ha ha ha!”

Myeonggeuk laughed out loud because he was so happy.

“Yes, it’s not a good habit to belittle someone with a half-baked lie that doesn’t work. “Even though you are my enemy, I really like you.”

“It’s a shame. “I don’t like you.”

“I’m not interested up to that point.”

Myeonggeuk lifted his butt off the rock.

“If you came here to buy time without the intention of fighting, I could just do the opposite. “We need to move our forces at this time when Jongnam is not properly prepared.”

Myeonggeuk grinned.

“It was a short but impressive meeting. “I’ll see you at Jongnam.”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who was watching the famous play, scratched his head.

“I’m sorry I was quick to notice. “But there is one thing you are mistaken about.”

“hmm?”

“I don’t have the confidence to kill you, but I do intend to fight.”

“what?”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled coldly.

“He said he came to buy time. “I was planning on making a fool of myself by playing around with my tongue, but since he doesn’t seem to want to talk anymore, I guess I’ll have no choice but to kill him with an axe, right?”

“…are you going to buy time by fighting me?”

“uh.”

“Do you think it is possible?”

“If you don’t like it, how about this?”

Yeon Ho-jeong, who hit Tongcheonbu on the floor, lightly shook both hands.

“The place where the troops you brought are stationed is closer than the distance from here to Jongnam.”

“….”

“I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think I’ll lose to you in running.”

Myeonggeuk’s eyes became cold.
