Episode 364
Authority of the strong (6)
Five days later.
“…I see.”
Zhuge Wenhu sighed.
“It is truly unfortunate that we missed the enemy’s water mass, but we are fortunate that we returned without anyone dying.”
“….”
“In fact, this battle was won simply by eliminating the majority of the enemy’s vanguard.”
“We didn’t catch the most important one.”
“Normally in wartime, if you lose 30% of your troops, you are judged to have been annihilated and a retreat is ordered. “We have eliminated as many as we can of the Shinhwa religion lurking in Hanam.”
“….”
“It is a great victory that goes without saying. Thank you for your hard work.”
Mo Yong-gun sipped his tea in silence.
His airway was quite unstable, as if he had suffered quite a bit of internal injury. Is that why? The brain energy that was usually perfectly controlled was secretly flowing out, creating a somewhat intimidating atmosphere.
Zhuge Wenhu asked.
“Was the enemy’s leader, Commander No. 1, that strong?”
“I don’t know how to express it.”
Moyong put down his teacup and continued speaking in a calm voice.
“The world says that the masters of Seongcheon have reached the point of invincibility. “But it means that only one knows and the other does not know.”
“you’re right.”
“The realm of non-extremeness is different from the realm of non-existence. If the limitless limit is climbing Mount Tai, the limitless level is the limit of flying in the sky. However, even in the sky, there are levels, and the masters of Seongcheon have already soared high in the sky, looking down on the world with the sun and moonlight as their friends.”
“Those who are a little lower than that are the Three Princes. Of course, the three armies are also absolute masters belonging to the Thirteenth Place of the Holy Heaven, but the sky in which they walk will be different from the sky in which the ten Immortal Emperors walk.”
“That’s right. Well, in our view, all thirteen are out of this world, so this comparison may be meaningless.”
“That’s right.”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“The guy called General No. 1 has not reached the point of no polarity. “I can be sure of that.”
He was the one who clearly saw Yang Cheon’s power with his own eyes.
Even though he only used less than half of his own strength, Yang Cheon’s energy wave was at a level that was far beyond imagination. Since the shock wave from the rush was enough to push the transcendental expert back, it is doubtful whether he will be able to properly receive all three if he makes full use of martial arts.
No matter how much you think about it, the inaction of the First Warlord’s prosperity did not even reach Yang Cheon’s feet. Even if Yangcheon had just entered the realm of no polarity, not a single expert present would have survived.
That state was so supreme. It is by no means an exaggeration to say that a Seongcheon master can wipe out the Daemun Sect by himself.
“But this guy had the level of inactivity that was closest to the summit of Mount Tai, which we were climbing. To be honest, it takes two heads of the six families to at least have a chance at winning, and with three of them together, the odds of winning are over 50 percent.”
Zhuge Wenho’s face hardened.
“Is it that much?”
“Of course, compatibility cannot be ignored. “If there is a master who is the exact opposite of this guy’s martial arts skills, he could compete with two head-level players.”
“In other words, even if we can’t do it, the two of us are experts enough to step forward together.”
“exactly. “That may only be possible with luck.”
Prince Moyong readily acknowledged Beonjak’s military exploits. Even though I looked down on it as something other than a bird, I couldn’t deny the strength I saw with my own eyes.
On the contrary, seeing the military exploits of Beonjak, Prince Mo Yong felt his fighting spirit boiling over.
It was a moment when I became more greedy for martial arts growth than my desire for power. Indeed, for the first time in a long time, pure martial zeal was burning.
“There are many other issues, so there is no reason to spend more time. So what I’m asking now is purely out of my personal curiosity. Please keep this in mind.”
“Please speak.”
Zhuge Wenhu asked carefully.
“Does the head of the Moyong family know the true skills of Gong Daesa and Seunghyeon Jinin?”
“…I don’t know.”
“Still, you probably have at least a vague expectation, right? “What is the level of martial arts skills you two have?”
“Of course I do.”
“Then I would like to ask. Considering the martial skills of the leaders of the two groups called Shaolin and Shaman Wulin’s Taesanbukdu, do you think it would be possible to compete with the number one general?”
It was a difficult question. And it was also a dangerous question.
Uncharacteristically, Moyong thought about it for quite a long time.
Although it was actually a personal curiosity, this comparison of power was absolutely necessary.
The First Warlord was said to be the leader of the Eighteen Warlords and the strongest vanguard that the Shinhwa Church could send abroad. If the Shinhwa cult was so, it was reasonable to assume that the vanguards of the other two cult groups also boasted similar inaction.
What if the leaders of Shaolin and Shaman are weaker than the First Warlord?
In that case, the Murim Alliance needed to radically develop individual martial arts skills rather than reorganizing the current system. So, Zhuge Li’s question was important and Mo Yong-gun also had to be cautious.
After a while, Moyonggun’s mouth opened.
“As for public ambassadors… I’m not sure.”
“what do you mean?”
“I have my own guess about the powerlessness of the public ambassador. “But I can’t be sure about my guess.”
“….”
“Anyway, if you look at the estimated military power, I think even the public ambassador is one step below the number one general. One by
one?”
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
“The public ambassador is clearly hiding his power. “To be precise, it would be more correct to say that it is not something that is being hidden, but that there is no need to reveal it.”
“hmm.”
“If Ambassador Gong is hiding his strength, I think he can match General No. 1. Even if we can’t do it, we can still compete closely.”
Master Gong is a member of the Thirteenth Place of Seongcheon and a true master who has been recognized by Master Muheo, the best Shaolin master who has enjoyed the stronghold of a power god.
And Master Muheo is an absolute master who is evaluated as being the closest to the best in the world, along with Geomseon (劍仙) Takmuja. If a talent is recognized by such an expert, it is correct to say that it has reached the ultimate level in this area, even if it has not yet reached the limitless level.
“How about Seunghyeonjinin?”
“I don’t know. However, in the past, Ambassador Gong Gong said that Seunghyeonjinin’s enlightenment is capable of encompassing the world. “There is no law that the meaning of enlightenment that comes out of a monk’s mouth is necessarily martial, but what is important is that Gong Gong Daesa recognizes Seunghyeon Jinin more than anyone else.”

“Of course.”
“Furthermore, the martial arts of the Shaman faction are the pinnacle of the martial arts of the Seondo (仙道) that maximizes the ability to strengthen the abilities of the latter. “Regardless of skill, if you just look at the compatibility of martial arts, I think Seunghyeonjinin can catch him more easily than Gonggongdaesa.”
“hmm.”
Zhuge Wenhu nodded.
“I heard that Myunghwa’s Yeoyanggong is particularly good at unleashing true energy. “There are not many martial artists in the world who can unleash that level of internal power, such as pouring out a pillar of fire from a person’s hand.”
“exactly. At the same time, their martial arts nature is strong. “If Seung Hyeon Jin-in’s skills are on par with the number one general, I guarantee that he will be able to subdue him within thirty sums.”
Martial arts is not about winning simply by reaching a higher level.
As Mo Yong-gun said, compatibility is important, variables are important, and above all, the mindset to compete, such as an attitude of not letting down one’s guard and absolute concentration, is also important.
This is why the world of competition is fun. This is why it is never easy to predict the winner.
So, Prince Moyong thought that his seniority was great.
‘I didn’t know it would be that bad.’
Prince Moyong recalled Yeonwi’s swordsmanship.
Yeonwi’s sword technique, exquisitely blocking or deflecting Beonjak’s merciless martial arts and charging forward, was truly perfect.
When he defended, he used an impregnable sword, when he let loose, it was as smooth as the martial arts of the Shaman faction, and when he attacked, he was strong and fast enough to remind me of his own martial arts style.
In other words, it seemed as if the attributes of all sword techniques scattered across the world were contained in one sword. Although there are many people stronger than Yeonwi in the middle way of swordsmanship that is not biased in any one direction, there will not be a single one who can use the martial arts that are the opposite of him.
‘Behind the face of a gentleman, he was hiding the martial arts of a beast.’
Mo Yong-gun’s eyes deepened.
‘Is this really Yeon Ho-jeong’s father? In some ways, it’s even greater than that guy Yeonhojeong.’
Yeon Ho-jeong is a genius who is difficult to reproduce. He has top-notch talent in all areas, including martial arts, intelligence, and insight. At least that was how Moyong saw it.
However, Yeonwi’s sword was not something that could be sharpened even if one had talent.
It is absolutely necessary to constantly research and self-reflect on martial arts, as well as disassemble and assemble countless sword techniques and make them your own.
Of course, he was excellent at swordsmanship, but his talent was overshadowed by his effort and enlightenment. Even if Yeon Ho-jeong were told to follow the same path as Yeon Wi, he would never reach the same level.
“I listened carefully to Mr. Moyong’s opinion. “You must be tired, and I’m sorry for holding you back for so long.”
“no. “After all, I am the one who is most sane.”
“Haha, the head of the family is in better shape than I thought.”
“That person is not in his right mind.”
Zhuge Wenhu chuckled without realizing it.
Moyong-gun stood up from his seat.
“Please contact the provincial commander. “There may be remnants of them left in Hanam.”
“Do not worry. “Because Hugae is already investigating.”
“As expected, it’s fast.”
“You went through so much trouble, so you should do a good job cleaning things up afterward.”
Mo Yong nodded his head.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
* * *
“phew.”
Beads of sweat formed on Ki Woo-hee’s forehead.
Yeonwi asked in a worried tone.
“How is it?”
Ki Woo-hee answered in the brightest voice possible.
“You’re hurt pretty badly. But it’s okay. “It’s so strong that you won’t have any problems recovering.”
“Thank goodness.”
“But we may need to be more careful in the future. Of course, you can’t take your time in a life-or-death situation where you don’t know what’s ahead, but I think Commander Yeon fought with strength beyond his capabilities this time too.”
“….”
“It may help you develop martial arts, but it is also a double-edged sword, so if you make a mistake, you may suffer internal injuries that are difficult to recover from. “The reason why Commander Yeon is now unconscious like this can be seen as the accumulated fatigue from breaking through his limits, bursting out starting this time.”
“Was it to that extent?”
“I probably could have solved it somehow on my own. If only I had enough time. But Commander Yeon is a person who runs without stopping, right? “Sometimes it’s important to just relax and not think about anything.”
“I’ll make sure to tell Hojeong that.”
Ki Woo-hee smiled.
“Still, it’s surprising. I have seen thousands of patients, but I have never seen anyone recover as quickly as the practitioner. “Not only is my strength strong, but my stamina is truly amazing.”
Yeonwi looked down at Yeonhojeong with a wry smile.
His complexion was pale, but his expression seemed at ease. Although the enemy’s main body was missed, the battle was a great victory, so the tension must have been relieved.
Yeonwi placed her hand on Yeonhojeong’s forehead.
“Get some rest.”
