Episode 230. How to defeat the Thousand Days

Before the finals, Cheon Myeong-myeong and Cheon Si-rang had a secret meeting in Dowonhyang.

“Well done.”

Cheon Si-rang’s first words were like that.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was a little embarrassed and couldn’t say anything, as if the fact was quite surprising.

‘I guess I feel pretty good.’

Let me say this again: Cheon Si-rang was a person who was quite stingy with praise.

From other people’s perspectives, that might sound like just a light compliment, but from Cheon Si-rang’s perspective, it was the highest praise of all.

Doesn’t that mean that Cheon Si-rang is in a pretty good mood right now?

It seemed that his performance in the semi-finals satisfied Cheon Si-rang.

“…thank you.”

The experience of being praised by Cheon Si-rang was truly unfamiliar.

However, since he had already received praise, he could not remain silent, so Cheon Myeong-myeong awkwardly expressed his thanks.

“But you know that this is just the first step, right?”

“…….”

“It’s not over yet. No, it’s real now.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong was also clearly aware of that part.

His goal from the beginning was to take down that guy, Cheon Il Myeong.

Cheontaebong is just a passing point.

It was still too early to relax until we reached our destination.

“I know.”

“…….”

“In the first place, I’m competing to take that guy down.”

From the very beginning of the competition, no, from long before that, Cheon Myeong-myeong had been sincerely trying to defeat Cheon Il-myeong.

It just so happened that he ended up in a strange cooperative relationship with Cheon Si-rang, but even if that weren’t the case, Cheon Myeong-myeong would have fought Cheon Il-myeong.

Becoming the leader of the Magic Cult was the best revenge he could take against his brothers who had ignored him all this time.

Of course, through this fight, it seemed that no one was looking down on him as Baek Gong Ja anymore, but Cheon Myeong Myeong still thought that he had a long way to go.

“…….”

Cheon Si-rang seemed to like that answer and smiled faintly again.

But then Cheon Si-rang spoke with a smile disappearing from his face.

“Today is the last training day.”

The final was three days later.

Cheon Myeong-myeong had expected that Cheon Si-rang would not leave him alone until then, but after hearing those words, it felt like all the training he had done so far had come to an end today.

“Then today will be my last secret meeting with the cult leader.”

“Do you feel sorry?”

“…….”

“If you become a junior sect leader, I will allow you to enter and leave the Taoist temple. Then, you will no longer need to sneak in and out of the Taoist temple like a rat.”

It was a fairly radical condition.

Even if he is a minor cult leader, he is being given the right to enter the Taoist temple, which only the cult leader can enter.

I guess it’s my way of repaying Cheonsi in my own way. If I had the authority to freely enter and exit the Dowonhyang, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

“Okay. But then you will restore the Peach Blossom Spring to its original state, right?”

Perhaps because of the rampage in Dowonhyang during that time, the surrounding area was now in a much more damaged state than before.

Of course, you could see the unspoiled scenery inside, but the true beauty of the Taoist temple was the first view you saw when you opened the door and came in.

Even though it was unavoidable for the sake of training, Cheon Myeong-myeong felt a little sorry that he had ruined the scenery with his own hands.

“Okay. I’ll try to recover it as much as possible.”

“…….”

“Of course, the broken pavilion too. Thanks to you breaking it, I won’t have any more places to drink.”

“Are you blaming me now?”

“Weren’t you the one who broke it?”

Perhaps because they had been together for quite some time, the two of them now even joked around like this.

But that was only for a moment. The two stood facing each other with a distance between them, the atmosphere becoming quite serious.

“…….”

Cheon Myeong-Myeong now knew that this meant that he was about to begin training.

What on earth will be Cheon Si-rang’s final training?

Cheon Myeong-myeong wondered whether he would continue with the training that was close to real combat as he had done so far.

“From now on, I will spread out a test for you.”

“……?”

“Do whatever it takes to stop it. That’s the final training.”

It was a training session with quite a strange content.

All I have to do is block one single sword.

The content itself seemed considerably easier than the training he had done so far, but Cheon Myeong-myeong did not think that Cheon Si-rang would have chosen something like that as his last training.

“All right.”

Cheon Myeong-myeong pulled out his sword as soon as he answered.

And the left hand moves slowly.

Cheon Si-rang’s eyes widened slightly as he saw him holding a sword and a sword in both hands.

“…Is your left arm okay now?”

“The congressman said to wait for two weeks, but I think ten days is enough.”

“…….”

“As this is the leader’s final training session, I will also give it my all.”

Cheon Si-rang laughed silently at that answer.

But then he took up his sword with a serious look in his eyes and took a stance.

“Yes, I will have to give it my all.”

As soon as he saw the posture, Cheon Myeong-myeong could tell that Cheon Si-rang was preparing to draw his sword.

‘That’s… … .’

I’ve seen it before.

But coincidentally, the person who took that pose was not Cheon Si-rang, but someone else.

The sword that Cheon Il-myeong had taken when he was blocked in the council meeting. The feeling he felt back then was also felt by Cheon Si-rang now.

‘… is dangerous.’

Even though I was simply taking a stance, I felt like my whole body was instinctively on edge.

At that time, Cheon Il-myeong did not swing his sword, but this time, Cheon Si-rang seemed certain to pull out his sword.

‘I guess I can confirm that.’

What kind of swordsmanship did Cheon Il-myeong want to show himself at that time?

I never thought I would find out about it through Cheon Shirang, but I thought it was fortunate that I was able to find out about it before fighting Cheon Il-myeong.

Just as a dam was being built to protect against a flood, Cheon Myeong-myeong was raising his energy and preparing for Cheon Shi-rang’s attack.

Swish-.

At that moment, the scabbard I was holding with my left hand slightly lowered down.

‘Are you coming?’

Because he was concentrating all of his nerves, Cheon Myeong-Myeong was able to immediately detect even the slightest movement.

I thought that Cheon Si-rang would pull out his sword, but the blade still did not appear from its scabbard.

“…….”

There was quite a distance between Cheon Si-rang and himself at the moment.

At that distance, no matter how strong the sword is, it won’t reach you… …. So is he trying to close the distance by throwing a sword or something?

First of all, since there was no way to know what would come, Cheon Myeong-Myeong formed a sword and prepared for the attack.

“Go.”

“……?”

At that time, Cheon Si-rang muttered in a low voice.

Who would have thought that they would give advance notice before revealing the secret?

Since he had never given advance notice like this before, Cheon Myeong-myeong felt that his actions had heightened his tension.

“……!”

The thick magical energy flowing from Cheon Shirang’s sword. Because of that, Cheon Myeongmyeong’s vision was obscured by thick dark clouds.

It was so sudden that it was easy to lose focus, but Cheon Myeong-myeong was able to see the blade cutting through the dark clouds and heading towards him.

Swords and daggers swinging desperately towards it.

Soon, a sharp, ear-piercing sound filled the surroundings and shock waves spread in all directions.

phut-!

As if swept by a shockwave, Cheon Myeong-myeong’s new form was thrown out at high speed.

While flying, Cheon Myeong-myeong tried to forcefully stop by sticking his sword into the ground, but the speed did not decrease easily.

In the end, after flying a few more sheets in that state, Cheon Myeong-myeong was finally able to stand up.

“……!”

As soon as he regained his balance, Cheon Myeong-myeong stared ahead with wide eyes.

In the spot where Cheon Myeong-myeong had just stood, a dark scar of unknown depth had appeared.

Are you saying that the sword mark is the blade that cut through the dark clouds?

It was a sword strike that was different from simply throwing a punch… …. It was a sword strike that I couldn’t even react to properly.

‘Are you saying that it’s like this even though I was waiting in advance?’

Even Cheon Si-rang had given a warning before showing his sword.

If he hadn’t had that warning, he might not have been able to respond properly and might have just been cut down.

Cheon Myeong-myeong felt a chill down his spine as he thought that the deep black marks that had just appeared on that land could have formed on his own body.

“Hongwonbalgeom (混元拔劍).”

“…….”

“How do you feel about it?”

Cheon Si-rang asked, his temper waning.

Honwonbalgeom. Is that the name of the balgeom that Cheon Sirang showed me earlier?

Although it seemed like the shock hadn’t completely subsided, Cheon Myeong-myeong opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“…That’s a terrifying swordsmanship. To be able to swing your sword so quickly at that distance… If I hadn’t prepared in advance, I would never have been able to stop it.”

“You’re honest.”

“…….”

“I think this amount was just right.”

As soon as he heard those words, a look of doubt appeared in Cheon Myeong-myeong’s eyes.

“It was just right… Did you adjust the strength by any chance?”

“Yes. I can’t kill you here, can I?”

“…….”

“I spread out the sword, adjusting it just enough so that you can block it just barely.”

That was a power adjustment. Even so, Cheon Myeong-myeong couldn’t help but be a little shocked by those words.

The sword strike was that impressive and powerful.

Then, Cheon Si-rang made another shocking statement.

“This is the sword that Cheon Il Myung is most confident in.”

“……?”

“At least you’ll show me a higher level of skill than what I just showed you.”

The mixed sword technique. That was the Dokmun sword technique of the Chocheon family.

Among them, Honwonbalgeom was a sword that could be said to be Cheon Il Myeong’s specialty.

If we compare just that one thing, it is on a level that is in no way inferior to Cheon Si-rang.

Cheon Myeong-myeong was momentarily speechless at the shocking fact.

“Cheon Il Myeong will definitely try to use this sword in the final.”

“…….”

“I will show you a swordsmanship that is sharper and faster than the one before. You must block it perfectly to defeat Cheon Il Myeong.”

Even with the swordsmanship that Cheon Shirang had just shown, Cheon Myeong-myeong was unable to handle it perfectly.

But Cheon Il-myeong showed a faster sword strike than that. Moreover, at that time, of course, like Cheon Si-rang, the sword strike would come suddenly without warning.

Will he be able to stop that sword strike?

Cheon Myeong-myeong thought that it was impossible, at least for his current self.

“Still, it wasn’t a bad response for a first time. Now that I’ve seen the inspection with my own eyes, I’ll probably be able to block it better next time.”

“…….”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to stop here?”

Although it was a bit ambiguous, Cheon Myeong-myeong was able to block the sword strike for now.

Just looking at that, the conditions that Cheon Si-rang had mentioned had been fulfilled, so from then on, he was going to leave the choice up to Cheon Myeong-myeong himself.

It could be a strategy to stop training here and keep your body intact for the competition.

Whatever Cheon Myeong-myeong chooses, Cheon Si-rang will tell him to do so.

“…more.”

“……?”

“Please be more sharp this time.”

also.

If it was a thousand years old, I thought it would continue from here.

Still, Cheon Si-rang asked again, as if he wanted to make sure.

“Does that mean you’ll continue?”

A head nodding silently.

After seeing Cheon Myeong-myeong take a pose, Cheon Si-rang did not ask any more questions.

widely-.

Cheon Si-rang put the sword he had pulled out back into its scabbard.

And before taking a stance, he said something in a low voice to Cheon Myeong-myeong.

“I will trust my choice.”

“…….”

“Don’t die.”

If he can endure his final training to the end, Cheonmyeongmyeong will be able to defeat Cheonilmyeong.

On the other hand, if you cannot endure, there is only death.

As if he was deliberately pounding the sword to make it stronger, Cheon Si-rang pulled out the sword without hesitation.
