Episode 795
Hegemony of the Black Sword (6)
Give me the Black Sword.
It was truly a bold and arrogant request.
Yang Chen, whose absurdity reached its peak, also thought. There is no other person who thrills people like this guy.
Huh.
The powerful energy wave that spread like a flame suddenly subsided.
He only became quiet, but did not completely abandon his prayers. Rather, Yangcheon’s prayer felt dangerous, like a bomb that might explode at any moment.
Yangcheon, who was glaring at Yeon Ho-jeong, suddenly asked.
“Would you like to be my disciple?”
“exactly.”
“Are you saying you want to be my successor?”
“exactly.”
“Does this mean that since you, the heir, will become the next vice-lord of the Mukryongbu, you will naturally have the Black Island Wulin?”
“exactly.”
Yang Chen felt confused by the calm answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong, who was quietly examining Yang Cheon’s face, spoke to Muk Bi.
“No matter what you try, it will be difficult to leave even a scratch on your careless body. Get off and go into the clouds. “Don’t worry about me.”
Without hesitating at all, Mukbi followed Yeon Ho-jeong’s instructions and retreated into the Ungong.
It was a known fact in the world that Seongcheon’s master was strong. In fact, she had watched the battles of experts from close or far away, all of which reached defeat.
However, the fighting spirit unleashed with sincere anger at such a close distance was on a different level from any expert I had ever seen.
What Yeon Ho-jeong said is right. With her skills, she couldn’t even put a scratch on Yang Cheon’s body. It may be possible to attack with extreme mental power, but in the end, you will die without being able to do anything.
Ugh.
A powerful inner force emanated from Mukbi’s body, which was in the lotus position. This was because the internal injuries sustained in a short period of time were large and required a lot of internal energy to heal them.
Yang Chen smiled coldly.
“I trust you.”
“We trust each other more than anyone else.”
“It looks like you’re confident you’ll protect me, right?”
“If I can’t protect you, you’ll die anyway.”
“The words are Cheongsanyusu. “I’m very curious about your reaction if I decide to kill that archer you trust right now.”
It was sharp and harsh words. Yang Cheon has never spoken to Yeon Ho Jeong in such a provocative tone before.
Yeon Ho-jeong smiled faintly.
“You’re not going to do that, are you?”
“It is like that now. But I don’t even know when my mind will change. “I was truly angry.”
It was an undeniable fact. Yeon Ho-jeong felt the truth behind those words.
“I will become my disciple… Your power has already reached the Holy Heaven. “You will have nothing to learn from me.”
“It is a mistake to think that a disciple only learns martial arts from his teacher.”
“Don’t play with words. Do you think this is a situation where such sophistry would work?”
“It’s not a play on words, it’s not a sophistry, it’s not anything.”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes sparkled.
“I have a lot to learn from you. “There are many things besides martial arts.”
“….”
“A teacher can also learn from his students. “I also have a lot to give you.”
“Is this a mutually beneficial deal?”
“If you analyze it hard and coldly, it is true. After all, there are many cold-hearted priests in the world.”
“gibberish. It’s just a superficial relationship. What you want is the grain. “This is the power of the dark martial arts world itself.”
“You’re not really wrong.”
“You’re a funny guy. “I know your spiteful intentions, but do you think I’ll make you my successor?”
Yeon Ho-jeong felt reassured by Yang Cheon’s cold and indifferent reaction. This is because saying something like this means that there is at least a willingness to have a conversation.
“I’ll have to convince you.”
“Is there any need for persuasion? “I don’t think it would be a bad thing for the world if I buried you here and declared that the Yeonga family was a traitor to the martial arts family.”
Yeon Ho-jeong asked seriously.
“Why are you angry?”
“…Are you saying that right now?”
“What I’m saying is that I think I was more shocked by the fact that I was working with the emperor to erase the boundaries between government and martial arts and unite the world as one, rather than becoming the emperor’s deputy.”
Yang Chen’s cheek twitched.
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“If you call it betrayal, that’s fine. Let’s say I betrayed Murim itself. So, is Buju more shocked that I betrayed the martial arts group? Or are you more shocked that your dream of later unifying the martial arts as the king of the Black Island was shattered?”
“Is there any meaning in distinguishing between them?”
“Yes. enough.”
At that moment, Yang Cheon was secretly surprised by the pitiful emotion that appeared in Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes.
It was the first time that I had been this harsh, but it was also the first time that Yeon Ho-jeong had looked at me like this. It was an even more shocking moment because their feelings were sincere.
“Let’s talk openly. Do you know how I see you?”
“….”
“I think you have a case.”
“under!”
“You have ambition. The ambition to crush the white island and make the black island stand tall. Furthermore, as the monarch of the Black Island, I hope to unify the martial arts and become the martial king of a new era.”
“….”

“no?”
Yang Chen couldn’t say no. There was no need to deny it. Because everyone already knows this.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
“But you didn’t cross the line. They are well aware of the fact that before the unification of the martial arts world, they must first drive out foreign forces with too much power. “He is different from the Murim Alliance’s Moyonggun, who goes on a rampage without any reason.”
“It’s Prince Moyong.”
“That’s why I constantly reject and oppress him, but have a hearty drink with you. “You know what comes first, whether for ambition or for the world.”
Although it was not an appropriate emotion in this situation, Yang Chen felt a little moved.
There were never many people who recognized him as he wandered the world and stood at the peak of the dark path. Among those few people, there were only a very small number of people who had excellent qualities and could be judged as being similar to or better than themselves.
Yeon Ho-jeong was one of those very few geniuses.
And the genius was acknowledging him. Although we are not in competition, the recognition of a genius who can hardly be called an ally gave even him, a strong man of the Holy Heaven, his own kind of emotion.
“But let’s think about it calmly.”
“what?”
“What do you think we have a chance of winning this war?”
Yang Cheon was stunned.
“How can you know that?”
“That’s correct.”
“what?”
“We don’t know that. “While they have figured out a lot about us, we haven’t even gotten a rough idea of them yet.”
“…!”
“Nevertheless, if we dare to guess, they will probably be stronger than we expected, not weak. “Maybe they use tricks we can’t even imagine, or there may be a monster much stronger than Seongcheon.”
“Nonsense!”
“Or, it is possible that they have twice as many experts of a similar level as Seongcheon than the Jungwon Murim side. That’s not the point. “The fact is that it is difficult to predict whether we will win or lose in the war against them.”
“so?”
Yeon Ho-jeong’s eyes deepened.
“Do you think you can win with something like that?”
“What?!”
“Before the fact that we must first defeat the three religions for the unification of the martial arts world, is the idea of surviving the war as if it were a given and trying to take over the world in our hands normal?”
“…!!”
Yang Chen’s face turned pale.
Woooooo!!
The calm waves stirred unsteadily.
There are not many cases where a master who has broken through the barrier gets so shaken just because his mind is disturbed. This meant that Yangcheon was greatly shocked.
Yeon Ho-jeong said in a somewhat gloomy voice.
“You probably knew it vaguely. That the war against them is difficult. Maybe… the Inkryongbu itself could fly away, or in the worst case, your own life could be cut off.”
Yangcheon wanted to say no. But I couldn’t.
Looking at it calmly, Yeon Ho-jeong’s words were definitely wrong.
And Yeon Ho-jeong went one step further.
“Moreover, never turn your eyes away from one fact.”
Yeonhojeong’s eyes sparkled with fire.
“You have already been defeated by the leader of the Four Eums once.”
bang!
Yang Chen’s fist pierced the ground.
His eyes tremble slightly. The fact that no one had ever said before, a humiliating past that should not come out of one’s mouth but of others, was buried in the cold winter wind and stabbed his head painfully.
“Can you beat him now? I don’t know. Because you are stronger than then. The problem is that the other person may have achieved as much growth as you.”
“…!”
“Besides the bird, there are as many as three such enemies. “The minimum number is three.”
Yeon Ho-jeong closed his eyes.
“The very act of preparing something to achieve post-war ambitions is a luxury for you and me.”
A flood is about to hit the village. People cannot stop the flood, which is the very wrath of Mother Nature. Just prepare.
That flood meant war in today’s situation.
War will definitely happen. The flood will definitely come.
So how many people will survive the flood? Although we cannot eliminate the natural phenomenon called flooding, is it possible to minimize the damage?
“You are trying to win the war. You can’t do that. War is just a phenomenon. “We need to get rid of the people who cause that phenomenon.”
“….”
“The problem is that the flood crisis is already upon us. In other words, war cannot be prevented. “Then it is important for everyone to end this war as quickly as possible by eliminating those who caused it as soon as possible.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“If you really want to achieve your ambition, it is better to open that possibility to the ‘dark island’ you belong to, not ‘you’.”
“…!”
“If you truly have a dream of unifying the world, you must do so. “It is safe to say that there is little chance that the Black Islands will unify the martial arts world, at least during your generation.”
“….”
“But let’s think about it. Even if your successor grows up right now and survives after the war, will you be able to hand over the task of unifying the Black Island to that successor?”
“Of course…”
“If there was truly such a possibility, you wouldn’t have tried to overthrow the Black Island system. “It would be easier if I left it to future generations.”
Yang Cheon spoke as if chewing.
“You don’t know a person’s future. Buseon is a person with sufficient talent and ability.”
“That’s right. So, is there no other talented person in the world who has more potential and is better than Buseon?”
“…!!”
“I wanted to tell you at some point, but since the situation has come to this, I will say it now. “You have got it all wrong.”
“Did you grab the wrong strand?”
“If you really wanted to unify the martial arts world, it would have been quicker to join the Three Religions, turn the world into a sea of fire, and then receive permission as the ruler of the martial arts world.”
“what?!”
“Do you plan to pass that task on to future generations? Then you shouldn’t have made Bu-seon your successor. Even if Buseon had great potential, we had to mobilize all of the power of the Mukryongbu to hide and raise her. If you wanted unity before and after, that would be much more efficient. Otherwise, everyone who knows about Buseon’s existence will attack her.”
“….”
“But if Bu-seon is not the only one alive before and after our victory, it will be close to impossible for Bu-seon to unify the martial arts. “Because the Mukryongbu is not the only one aiming for the world after the war.”
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
“If you want unification of the martial arts world, you have completely gone astray.”
“….”
“At this moment, which we have achieved by building up day by day, the possibility of the Mukryongbu taking over Wulin is lower than the probability of a dragon emerging from a stream.”
