Episode 176. The Battle of the Heavenly Horses (1)

For a moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong wondered if he had seen something.

‘… Sowolhyeon?’

It was a face I hadn’t seen in a very long time.

Why is someone here who has never been out since he first appeared?

Cheon Myeong-myeong couldn’t help but be surprised by So Wol-hyeon’s sudden appearance, as if he had seen a ghost.

‘Have you come out to see the tomb of the first Heavenly Demon?’

The first Cheonma So Il-hyeon. He was So Wol-hyeon’s older brother.

But didn’t the two fight to the death for the position of the Heavenly Horse?

Perhaps because of that, So Wol-hyeon seemed full of hatred towards her brother.

Surely, he didn’t come out because he missed his brother after seeing the grave… … At that moment, Cheon Myeong-myeong could tell where So Wol-hyeon’s gaze was directed.

“……?”

So Wol-hyeon’s gaze was not directed at the grave, but at the memorial tablet.

To be exact, it was a corner of the tablet. So Wol-hyeon was staring intently at the part where the word “eclipse” was written.

‘You look very surprised.’

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but it seemed like those letters called out to Sowolhyun.

What on earth does the word eclipse mean?

Looking at So Wol-hyeon’s reaction, it seemed certain that there was some hidden meaning behind it.

“I…….”

Within, Cheon Myeong-myeong carefully opened his mouth.

At that moment, a sharp voice was heard from somewhere.

Cheon Myeong-myeong had no choice but to swallow his words halfway through his speech because he was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

“You, you punk!”

“…….”

“You finally showed your true colors!”

The owner of the sharp voice was Jincheon.

‘Now that I think about it, I was really upset about that defeat back then.’

Jincheon was defeated by Sowolhyeon without even being able to mount a proper counterattack.

Since then, didn’t he persistently provoke So Wol-hyeon for several days in order to fight him again?

It seemed like things had quieted down since So Wol-hyeon didn’t come out even after being provoked that much… … But when So Wol-hyeon herself showed up, it seemed like things had been rekindled.

Swish-.

At Jincheonha’s voice, Sowolhyeon turned her head, her wide eyes returning to normal.

Jincheonha standing with his arms crossed and looking very proud.

Jincheon opened his mouth again with a meaningful smile, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

“You kept running away like a coward. Are you finally ready to fight?”

“…….”

“I lost last time because I let my guard down, but this time it’s different. Let’s make sure we win here!”

As he said that, Jincheon uncrossed his arms and took a stance.

However, So Wol-hyeon has a blank expression on her face and doesn’t move at all.

Compared to Jincheonha, who was burning with the will to fight, Sowolhyeon didn’t seem interested in fighting at all.

“I have no intention of fighting.”

“…what?”

“I didn’t come out to fight you. So if I made you feel any confusion, I apologize.”

Jincheon couldn’t help but look dumbfounded at that answer.

I thought I would definitely fight myself since I came out… … . What is that disheartening answer?

Of course, he had no intention of giving up easily, so Jincheon used provocative language to provoke Sowolhyeon.

“Are you backing down because you don’t have the confidence to fight me and win again?”

“Yeah, it’s about sticking your butt out.”

“Don’t you have any pride? That guy named Cheonma…….”

“I am not a demon.”

“…Anyway, fight me right now!”

“I refuse.”

Naturally, Jincheonha’s provocation did not work on Sowolhyeon.

In the first place, he was the type of person who wouldn’t come out even if provoked for several days.

Even if you make a provocation that didn’t work then, right in front of him, it won’t make a difference.

As So Wol-hyeon maintained a consistent attitude, Jin Cheon-ha, who had provoked her, seemed unable to control his excitement.

“Ji, calm down!”

At that time, Seodaemun came to stop Jincheonha.

“What do you mean calm down! Can you just sit there and let a guy win and run away while you let your guard down?”

“It’s not that I don’t understand your feelings, senior, but…….”

“Shut up! The kid is out!”

“…….”

If we simply look at age, there were far more people in Seodaemun.

However, since Jincheon-ha was far above in terms of the time period, Seodaemun was at a loss and was unable to do anything.

“What, Sowolhyun came out!”

That was when.

In an already noisy situation, this time even Kumado showed up.

Kumado noticed Sowolhyun’s appearance in front of him and started laughing with an unpleasant expression.

“Hehehe……. I was sleeping and heard a commotion outside so I came out to check and it really was there.”

“…….”

“I lost last time because I let my guard down, but this time it’s different. Let’s make sure we win here!”

Gumado said exactly the same thing as Jincheonha without a single mistake.

Just looking at that appearance, it seems like Jincheonha and I are a perfect match.

At that moment, Jincheonha growled and pushed his face towards Gumado.

“I’m the one fighting that guy! You’re out.”

“This time, I can’t give up!”

“Even cold water has its ups and downs. You just wait your turn quietly!”

“Are you telling me to eat the leftovers right now? I don’t want to. I want to fight that guy right now!”

This time, Guma-do also didn’t seem to back down easily.

But up until now, I have mostly yielded to Jincheonha, but is this really a matter of Muin’s pride?

Seodaemun now seemed to have given up and was silently watching the two people growling.

“So I have the will to fight…….”

“Okay. Then let’s decide with Insect Fist!”

“great.”

So Wol-hyeon tried to say once again that she had no intention of fighting, but the two men did not seem to listen at all.

Now, it seems like he’s arbitrarily deciding who will fight Sowolhyun first through Chungkwon.

What could it be called… …? The sight of two heavenly horses sticking out their thumbs or little fingers… It was a sight that was not easily seen in any other sense.

“I’m going to bring out the snake.”

“Then I will let the frog out.”

“…No, it’s a snail after all.”

“Then I will bring out the snake.”

Chungkwon is a game that requires a high level of psychological warfare.

The snake beats the frog, and the frog beats the snail, and the snail beats the snake, so in the end, no matter what you do, it’s a game that requires luck rather than skill.

What would normally be done at a drinking party is being done here.

Everyone was looking at them in disbelief, but the two people involved held out their hands at the same time with very serious expressions.

“You, you bastard… didn’t I say you were going to bring out the snake?”

“Didn’t you say you were going to bring out snails too?”

What the two people brought out was a frog.

Since they gave the same result, it was a draw.

They fought again several times after that, but the draw continued as if it was planned.

“…You guys are having fun.”

Looking at that sight, So Wol-hyeon muttered to herself as if she was dumbfounded.

Whoever won, he had no intention of fighting them anyway.

So Wol-hyeon glanced at the tablet again, and then slowly began to disappear.

Pot-.

At that moment, Jincheon-ha and Gumado stopped their attacks and rushed towards Sowol-hyeon at the same time.

As the attack came in at that moment, So Wol-hyeon was unable to hide her appearance, and with her clear appearance again, she blocked the attacks of the two people.

“Where are you trying to run away to now?”

“I definitely won’t miss it this time.”

It took some time to disappear.

If there was an interruption like this during the process, it couldn’t be forcibly eliminated.

The two of them obviously knew that fact, so when So Wol-hyeon tried to disappear, they immediately stopped their attack and attacked.

“…You were talking about the pride of the Heavenly Horse and then you attacked me at the same time?”

“The one who runs away is an exception.”

“…….”

“If you swear to fight me, I will fight you one-on-one.”

Of course, So Wol-hyeon had no intention of responding to those words.

If you blow it far away like last time, it won’t be able to disturb you.

In order to buy time to hide, So Wol-hyeon decided to engage in a proper fight for only a short while.

Woof-.

At that moment, a powerful energy flowed out from Sowolhyun’s body.

The first thing to blow up is the Kumado.

Sowolhyun lifted the sword and thrust it straight at Gumado’s abdomen.

thud-!

At that moment, So Wol-hyeon’s eyes widened.

Previously, the Kumado would have been blown away by the sword, but this time, it was blocking the sword with its blade and not being pushed back at all.

“That’s why I told you.”

“……!”

“I lost because I let my guard down back then.”

With those words, a strong energy rose from the sword.

As soon as you swing your sword, a huge blast of flames bursts out in front of you.

As if sensing the danger in advance, So Wol-hyeon retreated to avoid the flames.

Pot-.

At that moment, someone quickly approached So Wol-hyeon from behind.

“I won’t miss it.”

The person who approached was Jincheon.

So Wol-hyeon immediately reacted and swung his sword at Jin Cheon-ha, but in a flash of light, Jin Cheon-ha disappeared from the spot.

Jincheonha’s new form moved his hand again, but this time it disappeared again.

The shape of Jincheonha appeared and disappeared repeatedly from all directions, like light reflected on a wavering surface of water, something impossible to follow with the eyes.

“So it’s like this.”

“……!”

“At that time, when we counted two to three, you were the one who ran out first.”

At that moment, a roar like thunder was heard.

As if lightning had struck, beams of light rained down in all directions, and in the center of it all, Jincheonha was waving his fist.

Although he managed to block a blow to the abdomen, So Wol-hyeon was unable to withstand the impact and was thrown backwards.

“……!”

A more urgent expression than before.

There was no longer any sense of leisure on So Wol-hyeon’s face.

At that moment, Jincheon-ha and Gumado approached Sowol-hyeon, who was bending down.

“The younger brother of the first Heavenly Horse is nothing special either.”

“……!”

“This is your last chance. Decide which one of you you will fight.”

Jincheonha warned Sowolhyeon like this.

It certainly looks like Sowolhyeon is being pushed back right now.

I couldn’t tell what would happen if it was a one-on-one fight, but it seemed like it would be difficult to fight at least two people at the same time.

‘…amazing.’

Cheon Myeong-myeong watched their fight with surprised eyes.

Is this the true nature of Jincheonha and Gumado?

Since the two had previously been defeated by So Wol-hyeon in a miserable manner, I had actually thought that So Wol-hyeon would win this time as well.

But rather, it was the two people who dominated this fight.

It seemed that the saying that they lost because they let their guard down wasn’t an exaggeration, as the two of them were truly displaying amazing skill.

‘Who wins?’

So Wol-hyeon, who was able to withstand the attacks of those two people, was certainly amazing.

However, even in a one-on-one match, it now seemed difficult to predict the outcome.

Although So Wol-hyeon’s martial arts are great, I would say that the martial arts of these two people are no less impressive than his.

Those people were his teachers and the great masters of an era. Cheon Myeong-myeong remembered that fact that he had momentarily forgotten.

“…….”

Sowolhyun slowly raised her upper body.

So Wol-hyeon let out a low sigh as she noticed the two people staring at her.

“…I don’t think I can run away like this.”

“Are you finally ready to fight?”

“…….”

“Now, choose which side you will fight…….”

“No need.”

At that moment, So Wol-hyeon’s momentum changed.

It was hard to tell exactly what had changed, but even Cheon Myeong-myeong, who was watching the fight from afar, could feel that something had changed.

‘The pupils… … .’

Cheon Myeong-Myeong could immediately tell what had changed.

Black light streaming from both of So Wol-hyeon’s eyes.

As if it were an abyss with no end in sight… … a dark, dark black aura was present in both eyes.
