Chapter 629
629fury. Not out of desperation
It was a strange sight.
The movements of the two genius swordsmen, who were fiercely clashing their swords while showing off amazing swordsmanship, gradually slowed down and they suddenly stopped and stared at each other with calm eyes..
“…….”
“…….”
The fight was not over. I didn't even stop to catch my breath..
Not only does he not swing the sword, but he constantly checks the opponent with his eyes, and the hand holding the sword changes its grip method moment by moment to respond in advance to the opponent's movements. Cold sweat formed on my forehead..
Gulp…….
The demilitarized area became quiet due to extreme tension. Even the loud crowd was so overwhelmed by the unknown atmosphere that they could not easily open their mouths..
“ha ha ha……!”
Only the head of Cheonmuhak could not hide his joy and burst into laughter. There was a lot to see as I watched closely. He muttered in an excited tone..
“Both are incredible achievements for their age. He would be better than Geomjon or Geomseong of the same age. I guess it's because I have overwhelming talent, a new way of teaching, and meeting an outstanding teacher. If only I had a little more luck here…….”
The head of Cheonmuhak muttered, not caring about the people who were looking at him with puzzled faces..
To him, watching the moment when a young and infinitely talented warrior fully developed his talent was the most intense pleasure for him..
“This year really…….”
The martial artist, who had reached a world-class level, was purely amazed by the brilliant talent shown by the geniuses in front of him..
The governor of Cheonmuhak turned his head for a moment and glanced at Il Pavilion, Heonwon River, Peng Sahyeok, and Sima County in turn..
Then, like a gourmet looking at rare food in front of him, he swallowed slightly..
“It's so rich that it makes your mouth water..”
Just imagining that their martial arts would one day be perfected and that I would personally take on that completed feat sent an exhilarating sensation running up my spine..
‘It would be better if the restriction of not being able to kill each other disappeared.…….’
The warrior develops further in a fight where he meets his rival and gives his all..
It would be perfect if it was a life-threatening struggle, but I couldn't hope to get there from here..
“……I guess I'll just have to endure it for now. That day won't be far away.”
Despite the meaningful mutterings of the head of Cheonmuhak, Wijicheon and Yeonhwa did not even raise their heads..
This was because they were completely immersed in each other. Even if a bomb exploded right next to them, it couldn't disrupt their concentration..
Sigh.
At that time, Yeonha took a step. At the same time, Wei Zichian's arms became blurred and the sword swung..
Sighaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
As the swords passed by each other, clear sword marks were engraved on the floor of the off-stage. The two swordsmen were staring at each other in the same posture as before..
Taking exactly one step to the side.
“…….”
“…….”
A short silence. This time, Wi Ji-cheon moved first. thud! Take a step forward with a light advance. It was a simple yet lightning-like movement. Wei Ji-cheon's sword was drawn horizontally..
For a moment, the space seemed to be distorted. The sword power contained in the sword was enormous. He rotated his burning body and raised the sword from bottom to top..
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
The sword energy of the two people mixed together and soared into the sky like a dragon fist wind. The audience gaped at the spectacle..
“…….”
“…….”
The two swordsmen were silent again. My chest rose and fell sharply due to my shortness of breath. This time it was Baekjungse (伯仲勢).
‘It won't end this way.’
‘We have to come to a conclusion..’
If this continues, the fight will not end until one person's stamina runs out. And even those who win will be close to exhaustion..
Neither of them wanted that situation. The immediate victory is important, but winning the Yongbongbimu was the most important goal..
‘Finish with the next sum.’
‘I have to pour it all out here.’
They nodded to each other, tacitly agreeing to each other. We decided to settle the issue with the next day's sum..
Wow…….
Wi Ji-cheon held his sword tightly..
It was almost the first time I felt so frustrated while swinging a sword..
It was a wall. The wall in front of me was so high and hard that it made me angry..
Wow-!
The sword spirit trembled in sympathy with its owner's emotions. The will of the Geomjon was imbued in the treasured sword that was passed down from the owner of the Mugeukgeom to the next generation. The sword whispered to the boy.
Get over it.
“……I should do that.”
The boy's natural talent, earnestness, and fighting spirit against a rival he had never felt gave us a brief glimpse into a realm that had not been allowed before..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
The blue sword energy flowing arrogantly through the sword body of the sword soul slowly began to become tangible..
A brilliant crystal of energy that goes beyond clarity to form a shape.).
The warriors were the first to realize its identity and were astonished..
“Examination (exam))……!”
Although it was blurry and clumsy, it was a manifestation of strong energy and strength. Immediately the quiet atmosphere was broken and the audience was filled with shock..
“Oh my god!”
“They say they show strength at that age.?”
“Look over there! Even the sword of a young man is strong.!”
As if stimulated by Wi Ji-cheon's sword, the sword also softly bloomed in Yeonha's sword..
The obsession with defeating each other led the two geniuses to a state where they surpassed their limits, even if just for a moment..
“……!”
Even the head of Cheonmuhak opened his eyes wide as if he couldn't speak. His trembling mouth was showing his passionate emotions..
It was a talent that left most warriors watching Bimu in shock and despair. The faces of some sword wielders turned white..
“I've been holding a sword all my life, but I never thought I'd become so shabby..”
“This is the first time I've felt like breaking the sword..”
“Huh, heh heh…….”
If a master like Cheongryong Shinhyeop or Geomseong had cut the rain stage in two with the sword, I would have been amazed..
However, Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha were late exponents who did not even have terms..
It made no sense to say that it was still the stage of initiation. Calling a swordsman who wields strong swords a latter-day swordsman was in itself an absurdity of language..
“Namgoongsu. If the situation seems dangerous, you will burn…….”
It was when Baek Soo-ryong, who was watching Bimu with a cautious expression, was about to ask Namgung-su for Yeonha..
Whirling!
Geomseong fluttered his sword and landed next to Baeksuryong. he said in a low voice.
“I will watch over my student, so you must watch carefully so that your student does not get hurt..”
“…….”
White Water Dragon glanced at Sword Saint and nodded..
Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha, who had been looking at their swords with blank expressions until then, slowly turned their gaze towards each other..
“Shall we begin??”
“As much as you want.”
They nodded and rushed towards each other as if they had made a promise. They were aiming their swords filled with swords at each other..
To a very small number of super experts, including White Water Dragon and Sword Saint, that moment seemed slow, as if time had stretched out..
“……Is that your martial arts.”
Ilsado was watching indifferently as Wi Ji-cheon became one with the sword. With the image of someone else overlapping on top of it.
The place where he first saw Wei Ji-tian was not Tian Wu-je..
Wi Ji-cheon will not remember. The unfamiliar man wearing black lips and handing over the wrong sword of martial arts..
“I thought he would be swallowed up by Simma or become my successor..”
What kind of coincidence or miracle was there that made you become a disciple of your old teacher?.
Ilsado watched Wi Ji-cheon's sword until the end with curious eyes..
It was a familiar yet clumsy trajectory for him..
But I might have been better than myself at that age..
“With a sword…….”
As far as swords are concerned, Ilsado thought that even his old master was no longer his match..
Therefore, he was anticipating the outcome of this fight from the beginning..
“There is no sword that cannot be broken.”
The moment Ilsado finished speaking, Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha's new forms crossed each other in the center of the off-stage..
Wow!!
There was no roar as the audience expected. As the two people collided, their swords flashed intensely for an instant and then dispersed. As if it was a mirage from the beginning.
“…….”
“…….”
Wi Ji-cheon and Yeon-ha passed each other and slowly turned around. Both looked fine with no injuries. It looked like they couldn't decide the winner this time either..
at that moment.
Grumble…….
Blood flowed from the corner of Yeonha’s mouth. The girl grumbled, wiping the blood away with the back of her hand as if it was no big deal..
“Sheesh. There was a difference of one piece of paper.”
Wi Ji-cheon also nodded with a pale face. He also suffered internal injuries, but was in a better situation than Yeonha..
“I'm a little more... … I think I was desperate.”
Wi Ji-cheon was offering words of comfort to the other person in his own way, but Yeon-ha's eyebrows were raised to the sky at those words..
She walked towards Wi Ji-cheon with long strides and poked the boy's chest with her finger..
“It means that my earnestness is less than yours right now.?”
“Sorry, sorry! That's not what I meant.…….”
After belatedly realizing his mistake and seeing Wi Ji-cheon not knowing what to do, Yeon-ha, who was glaring at him as if he was going to eat him, soon burst out laughing..
“I know what you want to say. I just tried being grumpy.”
“yes……?”
He ruffled the embarrassed boy's hair. Although the height was almost the same, this person was clearly the senior..
“The reason I lost was because of skill, not earnestness. Wi Ji-cheon, you were stronger than me today. congratulations.”
“Go, thank you!”
“Then I guess I should let others know who the winner is.?”
The young man, who put the Songmun sword in the scabbard at his waist, looked back at the spectators who still looked puzzled and took a sharp strike..
“Youngha of Jujakhakkwan. I will admit defeat and leave the stage.!”
The audience began to stir at Yeonha's declaration of defeat. Either way, he walked off the stage with a confident, youthful step..
Huge cheers and applause belatedly poured out to the late Jisoo Jeilgeom who remained on the off-stage. It was the biggest and most enthusiastic since the start of Yongbongbimu..
Wow!!
Leaving behind the cheers, we returned to the young Jujakhakkan camp after leaving the off-stage..
Students and instructors at Jujak Hall were waiting for her..
He playfully stuck out his tongue and scratched his head..
“I wanted to win well and even win the championship. After all, the opponent was bad, right? I never thought I would lose to a girl a few years younger than me. Hmm, I regret that I should have trained a little harder.…….”
At that time, Sima Ying came and hugged Yeonha tightly..
“great job. Sohaya.”
“…….”
Yeonha's face, which had been laughing playfully, froze. The eyes were distorted and the tightly closed lips were trembling..
I tried to hold back, but eventually tears came to my eyes. Yeonha lowered his head and cried..
“I should have worked harder a long time ago... … . Everyone worked hard... … . Just me, always just me like this…….”
The lazy genius of Suzaku Academy.
There was a time when I was secretly proud of that title..
Even though I didn't train as much as others, I was much stronger, and it was difficult to find an opponent..
Even the later Jisoos, who boasted about being called Yongbong in Emperor Cheonmu, were confident that they could catch up with them whenever they wanted to..
I was resentful of myself in the past when I thought like that..
It was too short a time to make up for it. I realized it only after the governor passed away..
I know that Suzaku Academy is a truly precious place to me..
Only then did I hold my sword until it bled, and I pushed myself to my limit for the first time..
Still, I was embarrassed by the calluses on my palms, which were not as strong as those of a boy a few years younger than me..
The past four years of Yeonxia were less intense than Wei Jichen's one year..
“senior! It doesn't suit me and I'm dragging my feet.?”
“Oh my. How did the Suzaku Academy idiot become such a crybaby?.”
“It was really cool. So tears fall!”
Nevertheless, they smiled and welcomed them. Just like it has been for the past four years.
He said bluntly, rubbing his burning, bloodshot eyes..
“Are they flocking to see something? Is it fun because your senior cries? These kids…….”
The fourth year of Suzaku Academy, the last Tianmu ceremony of Yeonha has ended..
