Side Story Episode 23. Rationality and fear (3)
A wry smile appeared on Banghyo’s lips as he lowered his posture as if to show off. She had a confident face.
Lee Cheon-sang looked at Bang Hyo in silence.
“What are you doing? “Please come in and try it out.”
“… … .”
“Would your martial arts skills improve if you just punched in the air like that? “You have to fight him in person to know how poor your skills are.”
Banghyo waved his hand.
“I’ll give you three seconds, so feel free to attack me.”
It was a tone that gently scratched the other person’s pride.
However, Lee Cheon-sang was neither angry nor upset by his words.
Rather, I sympathized with Banghyo’s words.
‘That’s true.’
No matter how immersed you are, an illusion is an illusion.
The real enemy does not move as you imagine. Moreover, except for a few, the opponents he came up with were all losers.
If you fight with your imagination against enemies you’ve already defeated, you won’t make much progress.
“why? “Are you scared?”
A faint demonic energy rose from Banghyo’s shaking body.
You think the other person is frozen. When her momentum was broken, the magic energy stimulated by the pleasure naturally activated.
Banghyo was definitely not first-rate. Not only did he have low insight, but he was fundamentally insensitive to others. Even Dong-hu, who was of a higher level than him, felt an eerie look in Lee Cheon-sang’s eyes, but Bang Hyo couldn’t even read that.
“I heard you hit quite a bit in the fighting arena? You may have the courage to take on everyone else, but you don’t have the courage to take on everyone else… … .”
“I can’t guarantee.”
“What are you saying?”
“My martial arts skills are not delicate. “You can die fighting.”
“… … ?”
Lee Cheon-sang said this because he did not want to cause an unnecessary incident, but it was enough for Banghyo to feel that he had been ignored.
Sigh.
A monstrous murderous spirit was revealed above the overflowing demonic energy.
Banghyo said, distorting his face.
“That’s a lot of confidence. Do you think you can even put a scratch on my body with martial arts like those dance moves?”
Lee Cheon-sang nodded.
“Let’s get started.”
Slurp.
Ji Ji-geon stepped back and crossed his arms. He didn’t say anything, but his eyes were fierce, as if he was also displeased with Lee Cheon-sang’s words and actions.
‘You could die fighting?’
Banghyo’s eyes sank darkly.
‘Insolent bastard.’
His momentum was reasonable, but he was from Tuma.
I didn’t train so vainly that I would get bullied by a fool like him. Isn’t the Gwangmadae a group of warriors who not only have top-notch talent and top-notch martial arts skills, but also have crossed all lines of battle?
‘I wish I could give up the harpoon.’
Although he still felt contempt for the other person, he did not forget that he was the great lord’s favorite person.
‘You’ll have to be prepared to break a couple of your limbs.’
This is an official sparring. Accidents always happen in Dalian. The higher-ups will understand that much.
Banghyo waved his hand again.
“Come at me.”
hook!
Lee Cheon-sang entered Banghyo’s realm.
The words start to move as soon as they run out. There was no action at all to check the condition of the body or to relax. He didn’t even notice his opponent’s posture.
Although he was inwardly surprised, Banghyo clicked his tongue.
‘also.’
The fact that you approach blindly without any preparation is itself a disaster. It was much faster than expected, but it wasn’t even a decent walking method.
Lee Cheon-sang swung his fist.
hook!
It extends diagonally from the bottom and aims to stop.
It was a fairly sharp blow. Bang Hyo’s left arm lightly knocked away Lee Cheon Sang’s fist.
Boom!
Lee Cheon-sang’s fist flew out helplessly.
Banghyo grinned.
“One second.”
Squirt!
Lee Cheon-sang’s foot, which spun in the same direction it bounced, aimed at Bang Hyo’s chin.
It was an incredibly flexible attack. Although it is not small, it is fast and accurate.
Banghyo’s movements were agile.
Paang!
Banghyo’s eyes deepened as he was able to avoid that sharp blow just by tilting his head back.
‘Look at this?’
One second aimed at the middle, this second turned and aimed at the top.
The second attack was much more extreme and sharp than the first.
Whatever it was, it was clear that the movement was at a higher level than expected. This meant that he didn’t just attack them blindly without any plan.

Sigh!
Lee Cheon-sang, who widened the distance, rushed towards Banghyo again.
‘… … .’
Banghyo’s eyes suddenly changed.
‘what.’
As expected, there is no magical walking method. He was capable of attacking with his own trained body strengthened with demonic energy, and if he was good at it, he was only a second-rate skill. It was fast, but in Banghyo’s eyes, it was extremely sloppy.
The problem was Lee Cheon-sang’s attitude.
‘Just rush in?’
Whether you punch or kick.
Whether standing or running, the center of gravity changed depending on what kind of attack was in mind. If you are an expert, you can predict the next attack just by looking at the opponent’s center of gravity.
But Lee Cheon-sang had nothing like that.
It looked like he was going to punch or kick.
‘Anyway, this is the last time.’
Boom!
Lee Cheon-sang, who approached at close range, lost his balance and swung his leg. It was an angle aimed at the lower part and thighs.
Banghyo quickly lifted his leg.
puck!
His body shook slightly.
I raised my leg and blocked the attack. There was no problem thanks to his trained body and powerful magical energy, but it was much more powerful than expected.
Banghyo’s eyes changed.
‘This is the beginning.’
thud!
The leg that had been hit was stretched out and I took a strong step forward.
hook!
Banghyo closed the distance like a thunderbolt and stretched out his hand towards Lee Cheon-sang’s neck.
As soon as the three seconds are over, a salcho is flying towards your neck. It wasn’t that fast, but it was enough to be threatening.
It was then.
Lee Cheon-sang’s upper body moved diagonally to the lower right.
‘… … ?!’
Banghyo was surprised.
‘Did you read it?’
It was not that he saw the attack, recognized it, and moved.
The hand moved before even half of the distance between them was erased. It was a move that couldn’t be shown if I hadn’t read it in advance.
‘Look at this guy?’
Banghyo’s hand, which pierced the air, moved like lightning and aimed at Lee Cheon-sang’s back.
It was then.
puck!
Banghyo’s eyes wavered.
His hand grazed Lee Cheon-sang’s back. This was because Lee Cheon-sang’s fist struck his side.
It wasn’t just about dodging, it was about preparing for the attack. It was a much faster strike than before.
I felt a dull pain. Although it did not cause any internal injuries as it was protected by internal energy, it was a powerful blow that instantly cringed the upper body.
Plop!
The attack did not end with just one attack.
Lee Cheon-sang’s twin fists struck Bang Hyo’s solar plexus one after another. Although the heavy taste was lacking, the speed was outstanding.
Banghyo gritted his teeth.
It is not a fatal wound. But a clear shock remained. He allowed three attacks from a man he looked down upon as a minor. The psychological shock was greater than the physical shock.
Whoa whoa!
Lee Cheon-sang’s body rose slightly and was pushed away by the violent slash.
However, Banghyo’s attack did not cause any damage to Lee Cheon-sang. How did he know that his slash was coming, so he overlapped his arms to block it, canceling out his shock?
Slurp.
Lee Cheon-sang naturally distances himself. His face was still indifferent. There was no disruption in breathing.
On the other hand, Banghyo’s face was clearly distorted. His breathing was also slightly disturbed, perhaps due to shock or anger.
“what are you doing?”
Ji Ji-geon shouted without realizing it.
“Do it right! “Why do you allow attacks like that?”
It was a voice dripping with puzzlement and regret.
From Ji Ji-geon’s perspective, it was natural for him to feel that way. To a third party, Lee Cheon-sang’s attack was very sharp, but it was not so fast that it could not be avoided.
I wondered if he had just given me a hug, but looking at Banghyo’s expression and energy, it didn’t seem like that.
“Wake! “Even if it’s a disaster, sparring is sparring!”
“know!”
Bang Hyo scolded in an irritated voice and glared at Lee Cheon-sang.
‘what? ‘Why did I get hurt?’
He is a guy with good skills. Much more than expected.
However, the weight in my fist was weak. At least it wasn’t at a level that would work against the Gwangma crew.
It’s clear sewage.
Recognizing this fact once again, Banghyo spat on the floor.
“You were able to do something. It was sharp for a dance position… … .”
For a moment, murderousness surged in his eyes.
Lee Cheon-sang was not maintaining his posture. He gently rotated his wrists and ankles to stretch his body, but it didn’t feel serious at all.
Don’t be nervous even when facing a master. A fire ignited in Banghyo’s chest.
“I’ll take you down in three seconds.”
Faaagh!
It was a first strike filled with anger.
It was definitely different from Lee Cheon-sang’s movements. Even in the midst of anger, he put defense and defense into every step he took. It was a fairly high-level walking technique.
Squirt!
Bang Hyo’s sword flew in, aiming for Lee Cheon-sang’s collar bone.
It was then.
‘… … ?!’
For a split second, Banghyo was startled.
‘Are you in?!’
I thought I would choose one of the two: block or dodge.
Lee Cheon-sang did not make any choice. Instead, while he is striking the capital, he runs towards him and digs into his arms, but because he is inside the range of his hand blades, he cannot exert proper power.
But that wasn’t the real problem.
‘Why can’t I read it?’
Lee Cheon-sang’s elbow hit Bang Hyo’s solar plexus.
Bye!
Banghyo, whose posture was disturbed, took a step back.
This blow was truly powerful. My entire upper body was paralyzed and I lost strength in my hamstrings. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe and couldn’t even moan.
Even if you are a person with superior skills, it is difficult to remain unharmed even after being hit in the same area three times. Moreover, Lee Cheon-sang’s attacks were becoming stronger as time passed.
grasp!
Even as he couldn’t breathe and was retreating, Banghyo attacked.
It was a strategy to sweep away the interruption. Being able to attack so quickly even though my posture was broken was entirely a result of experience.
It was truly worthy of being called a member of the Gwangma Dae-won. There will not be many people who can use this technique with large movements in this position and in this level of pain.
The only unfortunate thing was that Lee Cheon-sang was reading it.
thud!
Lee Cheon-sang’s fist, which stepped on the Jinggak, was filled with subtle golden magical energy.
Lee Cheon-sang’s fist struck Bang Hyo’s shin while sweeping the middle finger.
Quack!
“Kaaak!”
Banghyo collapsed on the spot with a sharp scream.
It was great that he reflexively threw away each attack, but that was why he couldn’t properly load up his magic energy. It was natural that Lee Cheon-sang’s shin was broken by a fully prepared fist.
“Ugh!”
Banghyo, who had fallen, was trembling and touched his shin.
“Whoop!”
Lee Cheon-sang exhaled lightly and relaxed his posture.
‘I won.’
Lee Cheon-sang looked down at his fist.
I felt a strong rebound in my fist. Even though I didn’t load the horse properly, the hardness I could feel in my shins was amazing.
If he had put in just a little less demonic energy, he would have broken his own hand, not his opponent’s shin.
‘indeed.’
This one victory.
After a short but quite intense match with Bang Hyo, Lee Cheon-sang realized.
‘This is what they meant when they said, put down the sword and use your bare body first.’
He released the fist he had been clenching until then and said to Banghyo.
“The game is won.”
“Ugh! How dare you, this son of a bitch, cut my leg… … !”
Li Cheon-sang took his gaze away from Bang Hyo and looked at Ji Ji-geon.
His face, with his mouth wide open as if in a daze, was quite a sight to see.
Lee Cheon-sang asked in his characteristic indifferent voice.
“Are you going to fight too?”
