Dark and Light Martial Emperor

Episode 86

The wind never breaks (4)

Tjouuuung!

“Big!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong staggered back.

“again.”

The lotus was like a single bamboo tree.

The left hand was placed behind the back and pointed towards the bottom of the sword held in the right hand. The back was straight and both eyes were looking ahead.

Yeon Ji-pyeong felt gloomy.

‘There are no gaps.’

I thought I could attack any place, but I couldn’t attack any of them.

My father’s martial arts skills were like an iron wall. The sword power that cut through the air was as powerful as a wave, and the sword that attacked was as flexible as the wind.

Yeon Ji-pyeong, who was staring at Yeon Wi, took a deep breath and relaxed her posture.

Yeonwi’s eyes lit up.

Do you relax your posture even though the dance is not over?

‘You didn’t give up.’

Although the posture was relaxed, the radiating momentum did not decrease. No, in fact, it was sharper than before.

Yeon Ji-pyeong tapped the floor with his toe.

Boom!

After making my whole body flexible, I momentarily tightened my muscles to increase my forward speed.

Pabababak!

I thought it was running straight ahead, but that wasn’t the case. Yeon Ji-pyeong’s walking method, which drew the character 之 (之) and approached with tremendous elasticity, was fast and flexible.

It was an impressive approach, but Yeonwi’s expression was cold.

‘You know it won’t work.’

It was then.

The moment when Yeonjipyeong, which had approached ten steps to the left, moved seven steps to the right.

Huh.

A light tension shot toward Yeonwi’s chest.

Sigh!

Yan Wei’s sword coolly divided the tension.

At that time, Yeonjipyeong came in from Jwajung-ro.

It was half times faster than before. It didn’t turn completely to the left.

In other words, it was a flaw in the method of footwork and a sharp psychological warfare. After familiarizing the opponent with the direction of approach, at a critical moment, an explosive blow is delivered from an unexpected direction.

Yan Wei’s sword soared to the top.

Whoa!

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s body suddenly stopped.

I struck with great force, but this time too it was a failure.

Of course, with Yeon Ji-pyeong’s current martial arts skills, he cannot leave even a scratch on Yeon Wi’s body. However, I thought I could make it urgently, but even that didn’t work.

Yeonwi opened her mouth.

“Enough…”

Flash!

At that moment, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s sword shot out like a thunderbolt.

It was a qualification, not a slash. A small look of surprise appeared on Yeonwi’s face.

Kaga River!

The rich man’s sword stopped just as it struck.

Yeonwi, who was looking down at her son with cold eyes, nodded.

“stop.”

“Whoa!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong staggered back.

It was a sword wielded with all one’s might. But once again, it was blocked this time.

My entire right arm as well as my pelvis and knees were numb. But I couldn’t show it.

The leaden Yeon Ji-pyeong lowered his head.

“thank you.”

“It’s pretty good.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong looked at Yeon Wi in surprise.

Yeonwi withdrew his sword and continued speaking.

“It was impressive that he shook the opponent’s psychology and unleashed a swift sword strike at a critical moment.”

“Ah… thank you.”

I have never received praise like this from my father. Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face turned red.

Yeonwi couldn’t help but be impressed.

‘This kid also uses these tactics.’

In practice, all kinds of variables abound. Martial arts that are learned honestly will strengthen your roots, but it is difficult to use them in actual combat.

In the meantime, Yeonjipyeong strengthened his roots as a martial artist. It was a root so thick and strong that it would not be pulled out even after a hundred years.

I thought about teaching anomalous martial arts, but before I knew it, I had researched it and displayed it. Such a change surprised Yeonwi.

And crucially.

“The last sword.”

“Oh, that?”

“How did you open that sword?”

Yeon Ji-pyeong wiped under her nose as if she were embarrassed.

“It’s a sword I discovered while training the Biyeonpalgeom and the Paranggugeom. “It’s a little crude, but when I mixed Biyeon’s quick sword and Blue’s soft sword technique, I got a sword as strong as a thunderbolt.”

“….”

“I wouldn’t say it’s complete, but I think it needs a lot of refinement if it’s going to be used in a match. That’s why I haven’t been able to show it to you until now, but I thought it would be possible now…”

“No, I can complete it.”

“yes?”

Yeonwi spoke in his characteristic blunt voice.

“The Cheolgeom Daeyeon Samsipsik (鐵劍大衍三十六式) is a sword created by combining the characteristics of the Biyeonpalgeom, the Paranggugeom, and the Sohyeondaegeom (昭炫大劍) with advanced military principles.”

“Eh?!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong was surprised.

The Iron Sword Daeyeon Thirty-Six Sik was one of Yeonga’s three great sword techniques. Although the sword power itself was the lowest among the three major sword techniques, it was also a martial art that embodied the characteristics of the sword without missing a single one.

Therefore, the iron sword training was like a sword technique and a divine skill. Of the three great sword techniques, Yeonwi also learned the Cheolgeomdaeyeon thirty-six method first.

“If you practice the Iron Sword Mastery, you can obtain a sword of the middle path that is not biased in any direction. “The move you just performed is one of the twelve techniques of the second half of the Iron Sword Demonstration, called Electric Light Eclipse.”

“ah…!”

“You have implemented martial arts that were not even taught to you by using swordsmanship that you have refined yourself.”

Yeonwi nodded.

“Good job.”

There was honest joy on Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face.

I was much happier to receive praise from my father than to learn and use martial arts on my own that had not been taught to me. I finally felt like I was recognized as a prosecutor.

“thank you.”

“Byeoncho and Hapgeom (合劍). There is no need to focus on the basics anymore. “Speaking of which, starting tomorrow, I will teach you sword fighting skills and iron sword training.”

This means that we will pass on both the new martial arts and swordsmanship that represent Yeonga. Yeon Ji-pyeong lowered his head.

“I will do my best.”

“I believe it.”

I always believe it.

Yeonwi didn’t bother to say the words that came to mind.

Is it because we’ve been bumping into each other so much? To my eldest son, I sometimes revealed my true feelings. But it wasn’t easy for the second child yet.

‘Quick.’

Whatever the reason, Yeon Ji-pyeong’s martial arts training speed was incredibly fast. Although she herself had been recognized as an outstanding talent in previous generations, Yeon Ji-pyeong had gone far beyond that.

‘Five years earlier.’

Although he had been practicing sword fighting techniques since he was seventeen, he began practicing iron sword fighting skills well after he was in his twenties.

Moreover, he couldn’t even think of combining the techniques of intermediate sword techniques.

He was an outstanding talent in many ways. I am truly looking forward to the future because I am not resting on my talents and neglecting to improve them every day.

Moreover, the second child had not yet fully developed his talents.

Yeon Ji-pyeong was gentle and kind by nature. It was an unsuitable temperament for a swordsman whose outcome could be decided in a split second.

The moment you carve and refine that nature into a piece of jade, that is the real beginning.

‘….’

However, Yeonwi thought that Yeon Jipyeong’s gentle personality was not bad. No, it seemed like I was being greedy, but I wanted to keep that innocence for a long time.

Not to mention myself, my eldest son too was caught up in the times of the world. Is that why? Yeon Ho-jeong had a cruel temperament in a corner of his heart that seemed excessive.

Yeon Wi hoped that Yeon Ji-pyeong would not have such ruthlessness. It was fate for a powerful warrior, but I hoped that my second son would escape that fate.

Yeonwi sincerely hoped so.

“Let’s end today’s training here.”

“yes! Thank you for your hard work!”

“okay.”

It was when the rich man put his sword on the stand.

“Matriarch!”

Baekhyun Lee came running in a huff.

“It’s a letter! “I received a call from the Archduke!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong’s face brightened.

“Brother tongue?”

Yeonwi received a letter from Baekhyeon Lee. It was almost as if he had taken it from him, but he didn’t realize it.

He opened the letter.

As Yeonwi opened the letter, Yeonjipyeong cleared her throat and quietly stood next to Yeonwi.

sorry. Because I was so busy with work, I couldn’t contact you often. I heard that the opening contacted you separately. The work went well and I am also safe.

Yeonwi, with his eyes fixed on the letter, opened his mouth.

“Pyeong-ah.”

“yes?!”

Yeon Ji-pyeong, startled, took a step back without realizing it.

Yeonwi said calmly.

“In the future, when you enter the Gangho, you must not act like your brother.”

“…yes?”

Yeonwi kept her mouth shut.

‘Indifferent guy.’

I wondered if I was so busy that I couldn’t send a letter on time.

If this is also unfilial, it is unfilial. If I just wrote a few letters and sent them, would they scold me for being insincere? What is important is not the content, but whether there is anything wrong with you.

First, everything else was good, but this was the problem.

He’s a shameful guy.

I think I need to undergo some investigation as a witness to this incident. It will be over soon. But I think it will take some time before I go back. Don’t worry, it’s not a big deal and I’m just looking around the world.

He is even more scandalous.

When you’re done, you can come back, say hello, and then leave again. It seemed like I had discovered another problem with the first one.

I wonder if the construction of the family home is over. The horizon is good, right? I’m already excited to see how much it’s grown.

Yeon Ji-pyeong grinned.

Yeonwi glanced at the second child. Yeon Ji-pyeong hurriedly took care of her facial expression.

He turned his attention back to the letter.

Oh, and please separately send me proof of the salt tax that the famous people obtained illegally by threatening East Sea traders. I would appreciate it if you could also enclose a document showing the kidnapping of Western merchants and selling them as slaves on the black market.

Yeonwi said to Baekhyun Lee.

“There is a ledger in the library that says Red Book Book. Hand the thickest document among them to Branch Manager Cheolgongae. “We can just send them to the temporary Murim Alliance.”

“I understand, matriarch.”

Baekhyun Lee quickly ran out.

I’m sorry for not being able to tell you in advance and doing this on my own. I will return and receive my punishment. The day is very hot. Please take care of your health.

At the bottom of the letter, it was written that he was an unfilial son.

“…I know.”

Yeon Ji-pyeong narrowed his eyes.

Yeonwi closed the letter and looked up at the sky.

Although the clouds were quite scattered, the sky was clear. Summer has truly arrived.

‘Now that you’ve gone out into the world, come back bigger.’

* * *

“uh? what? Where?”

Full-sang looked at Yeon-ho-jeong with puzzled eyes.

Yeon Ho-jeong, dressed in neatly washed military uniform, was even holding an axe. Just looking at its appearance, it looked like it was about to leave at any moment.

“I’m doing this to open Hanam.”

“what? now?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Uh… no, there’s no problem.”

I also completed the investigation into the case as a witness. After a few days, movement became possible, so there was no need to stay in Hanam anymore.

“If I hadn’t come to see you, you would have left without saying anything, right?”

“maybe?”

“Such a heartless person!”

Yeon Ho-jeong chuckled.

“Shouldn’t you go back to your job anyway? “I will meet you again later when we meet again.”

“My main job is to watch over you.”

“What do you mean?”

“My master said so. This guy is dangerous, so if he becomes an apostle, blow his head off. So to speak, a special order was given.”

Yeon Ho-jeong frowned.

“Was the rear seat that comfortable? “Aren’t you busy?”

Full-sang laughed weakly.

“A little busy. So I can’t tag along with you right now.”

“Anyway, if we go together, the only thing that will happen is that we will be tired.”

“A terrible human being. “A cold-hearted person.”

“See you later.”

“for a moment.”

Full-sang handed me a dirty, dirty pouch from his arms.

Yeon Ho-jeong’s expression was a sight to behold.

“Take it.”

“….”

“why? “Is it dirty?”

“I will take it. “But what is this?”

“Ojeongpae (汚精牌).”

“It’s a masterpiece once you name it.”

Full Sang shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know where you will go and what you will do, but if something happens, take it and go to any branch. “You will be able to get the information you want.”

Yeon Ho-jeong smiled.

“Thank you.”

“It’s okay. I’m trying to monitor you with it, so use it as much as possible.”

“I understand.”

Yeon Ho-jeong went out the door.

“Then I will go first.”

“Yeon Gongja.”

“hmm?”

Full-sang took possession of the gun.

“I wish you luck.”

Yeon Ho-jeong did not accept the greeting lightly.

He put down the ax and grabbed it.

“See you later.”
