Genius Salsu of the World to Be Destroyed - Chapter 151
Only Noblemtl
Episode 151
Just before the blade of the poison sword shatters.
Youngsoo saw it.
My older brother is taking the ‘one-point strike’ stance.
A skill that focuses all power on the tip of the sword and stabs the target with a powerful strike, One-Point Strike.
This is the first skill that Salsu learns, and it is the basis for Salsu’s other skills.
Naturally, it was a close combat skill.
What I was saying was that it wasn’t a skill to use in a situation like now, when the distance between you and your opponent is over 10 meters.
However, Hyung-in launched a single-point strike.
And in the very next moment, the blade of the poison sword that Youngsoo was holding broke.
Pakang!
smithereens.
at the same time-
Quagwagwa!
A straight gust of wind blew in the direction the tip of the sword was pointing.
Wind pressure strong enough to grind away even solid granite floors.
bang!!
The storm finally stopped its gallop after destroying even one of the stone pillars standing behind Youngsu.
‘…what?!’
It was an unbelievable power.
Exactly-
‘A single strike can produce this much power?!’
Breaking a stone pillar from a distance?
Destroying an opponent’s weapon from a distance?
Of course, Youngsoo could do that too.
However, it was impossible to do that with the basic skill called ‘One-Point Strike’.
But my brother succeeded in doing it easily.
It was a single-point attack that demonstrated a power far beyond the limits of a single-point attack.
“shit…….”
Yeongsu threw the poisoned sword, with only the hilt remaining, on the floor.
My brother said.
“Surprised?”
“… … .”
“This is my ‘one-hit wonder.’ And this is the gap between you and me.”
Sigh.
Again, Hyung-in took a one-point strike stance.
“Try receiving it one more time.”
Once again the tip of his sword pierced the air.
Quagwagwa!
Another gust of wind blowing in.
This was not an attack to be blocked or repelled.
Youngsoo quickly stepped to the side to avoid the single-point attack.
And that’s exactly what Hyung-in was aiming for.
Restricting and guiding the movement of the spirit with the attack just now to hit the next skill.
Youngsoo saw it.
My brother crossed his arms and then swung them wide with all his might.
My brother saw it.
The name of your skill that appears in your status window.
[EX Skill] ‘Double Strike – Extreme’ activated.
Two lines of destruction intersect.
Everything it touches is cut off.
Everything, regardless of size, strength, hardness or density.
It is cut off and collapsed.
Kwakwakwakwakwa!!
The huge stone pillars inside the casino were cut down in an instant.
Long, deep gashes were carved into the walls, and the torn ceiling was splattered with corn.
Of course, Youngsoo managed to avoid all of these attacks by a hair’s breadth.
However, Hyung-in already knew which route, method, and how Young-soo would evade.
Because he could survive too.
So, Salsu knew how to fight as well as Yeongsu.
“There it is.”
My brother’s blade stabbed me again.
[EX Skill] ‘One-point strike – Extreme’ activated.
Quagwagwa!
This attack hit Youngsoo.
An impact so great that it can shatter a weapon upon contact.
Youngsoo flew backwards.
BANG!!
Youngsu flew out through the thick wall.
Youngsu is lying on the dirt floor.
But there were no wounds on Youngsu’s body.
Even though I just got hit directly by that attack.
“Phew… … .”
Kiiiii-
A golden shield surrounded Youngsu’s body.
Just before the impact of the single-point strike was made, the Holy Sword’s protective shield was activated.
“Fuck… … .”
But even though he wasn’t hurt, it wasn’t a situation that was advantageous for Youngsoo.
The fact that you used a shield during a battle meant that you were on the defensive.
The Holy Sword’s shield.
It was certainly a powerful feature, but at the same time, its drawbacks were also very clear.
The biggest drawback is the amount of mana consumed.
It took a surprisingly large amount of mana to activate and maintain the shield.
Moreover, defending against powerful skills like the one just mentioned would consume more mana.
The problem was that Youngsoo’s current pure mana amount was not that much.
Most of the energy resources that Youngsoo possesses are blood.
However, since the blood jade was sealed, I couldn’t use my blood energy.
To be exact, it was a timing that could have been used, but should not have been used.
This huge amount of blood energy had other uses.
‘It wasn’t for nothing that I started a war in the Central Plains and absorbed the blood of over 10,000 people.’
Anyway, that’s why-
‘The shield can’t be used any longer.’
From now on, I had to kill my brother through pure combat, without any protective shield.
but-
‘Strong.’
It was really fucking strong.
The assassination skills that Hyung-in used far surpassed those of Yeong-su.
No, this wasn’t just about surpassing it.
‘The power of those skills has far surpassed their limits.’
This was obviously something strange.
This is because all skills have a certain limit to the power they can produce.
Just like how no matter how much gunpowder you put into a 5.56mm bullet, it can never become as strong as a missile.
But the bastard’s skills completely ignored this principle.
‘Is it possible?’
It is possible.
Because it was actually happening right before my eyes.
‘Then why is it possible?’
But this doubt did not last long.
Because Hyung-in, who confirmed Young-soo’s survival, started moving again.
“Wow, this is really too much.”
“… … ?”
“If you did this to me, I should have just died!!”
Phew!
Hyung-in stretched his right arm out to the side and swung it forward as if sweeping something up.
[EX Skill] ‘Attack-Invasion Water-Ultimate’ activated.
Kugugugu-
All the debris scattered inside the casino began to rise and move according to Hyung-in’s will.
From tables weighing tens of kilograms to the remains of columns weighing several tons.
All of those things got tangled up and washed over Youngsu like waves.
Kwaaaaah!
A tsunami made of solid matter came crashing down.
A scale that is terrifying.
But Youngsoo’s speed was fast enough to avoid it.
‘First, keep some distance and avoid them.’
The moment I thought that and activated my lightness skill.
Tub.
On the back of the wave, Hyung-in placed his palm on a piece of pillar.
And then the skill was activated.
[EX Skill] ‘Blast Smash Sword – Extreme’ activated.
Boom!
A huge boulder exploded like a bomb.
It didn’t stop there.
Because the explosion began to spread throughout the wave.
Kwakwakwakwa!!
Everything that made up the wave exploded like a bomb.
Remains of columns, tables, pieces of broken walls.
Things that were already threatening just by crashing down like waves had all turned into explosives.
‘Is that possible?!’
Youngsoo doubted his eyes.
The original Burst Sword was a skill that injected excessive mana into the sword being held and caused it to explode.
But Hyung-in succeeded in doing so by targeting a wave of rocks.
Debris rained down on Youngsoo from all sides.
There was no room for avoidance.
Inevitable.
Additionally, the shield cannot be used.
There was only one option Youngsoo could choose.
defense.
chuck!
Youngsoo took a defensive stance.
The best defensive swordsmanship I know.
Quagwagwa!
The explosion engulfed the city.
A normal attack would be instant death, or rather, the entire body would be torn apart.
But my brother saw it.
“…Why is that thing still alive?”
Youngsoo is still standing in the thick dust.
Youngsoo’s body was covered in wounds.
But there were no fatal injuries.
Most of the flying debris was blown away with black energy.
Hyung-in suddenly felt goosebumps running down his back.
“What on earth have you done?”
“The Great Stream Returns to Heaven.”
“what?”
“It is the pinnacle of defensive swordsmanship among the non-partisan swordsmanship.”
Taeryu Hoecheon, a sword technique that surrounds the body with a torrent of sword energy that flows rapidly, deflecting all attacks that come into contact with it.
A sword that embodies the motto of the shamanist school of martial arts: ‘The shaman’s sword is not aggressive, but it cannot be invaded.’
This was the defensive sword style used by Mudangjeilgeom Mugang.
Of course, Yeongsu never directly told this to Mugang.
I just followed what I saw while fighting Mugang.
“I don’t know the path of fortune or the method, so I just copied the shell, but I think it’s not bad.”
“Shaman… …? What the hell are you talking about?”
“I don’t know. Even if I explain it to you, you’ll die before you understand.”
Swish-
Youngsoo took a step forward.
And I thought about that.
‘The moment this foot touches the ground, I, as an assassin, put down for a moment.’
It would be unwise to bring up Salsu’s methods in front of Salsu, who knows Salsu’s fighting methods by heart.
‘Instead, I bring out the me as a martial artist who fought at the forefront of the Jeongma War.’
I recall all the movements I had seen in that hellish martial arts realm.
Volcano, Jongnam, Shaolin, Jeomchang, Magyo, and Mudang.
With that sword, with that technique, with that throw, with that technique.
Even if your head doesn’t remember, your body will remember.
Put all that together, and put it on the tip of your sword-
‘Reproduce.’
Shhh!
Youngsoo’s figure disappeared for a moment.
Hyung-in was embarrassed.
Because it was a method I had never seen before.
‘what?!’
Pakang!
In an instant, Young-soo and Hyung-in’s swords clashed as they closed the distance between them.
“This kid… … !”
Hyung-in’s blade moved quickly.
Faster, sharper.
It’s clearly the sword of murder.
But Youngsoo’s sword that stood against him was not like that.
Sasa sasa!
The two swords that were clearly meant to be Yeongsu’s swords split into dozens in an instant.
‘what?!’
It was a return of the sword.
After quickly and splendidly dazzling the opponent’s gaze with a sword that blooms like a flower-
wickedness.
It delivers a deadly sharpness in one breath.
This is the volcano way.
Kaang!
By a hair’s breadth, Hyung-in barely managed to block the sword.
‘what?!’
But from the moment he stopped it, Hyung-in’s posture began to crumble.
Youngsoo didn’t miss that moment.
Phew!
It hits hard, like a wedge driving into the collapse.
A single stroke of the sword that sweeps away all the burdens and carries only heaviness.
That was Jongnam’s way.
BANG!!
A heavy, loud noise erupted, as if someone had hit me with a club rather than a sword.
Jeokjeok-
At the same time, the ground under the feet of the man who had taken the sword split and he collapsed.
‘What, what is it?!’
My brother couldn’t understand.
In an instant, the style of fighting changed dramatically.
It felt like I was dealing with someone else who only looked the same.
‘That’s ridiculous… … !’
Parking!
Hyung-in used all his strength to avoid Young-soo’s downward strike.
And took a pose.
[EX Skill] ‘One-point strike – Extreme’ activated.
Yeongsu muttered to himself after seeing that pose.
‘You’re going to use that now?’
A smile appeared on Youngsoo’s lips.
‘Try it, where.’
Because I will destroy you from the front.
Shhh!
My brother’s stab flew in.
And Youngsoo didn’t avoid it.
‘It’s a strong technique.’
But it was also a technique I had seen several times.
But if you still can’t destroy it –
‘Then I should put down the knife handle.’
wickedness-
Youngsoo placed his blade on the surface of the approaching gust of wind.
And then I remembered.
What Mu-gang said a long time ago.
‘Taegeuk accepts everything and gives everything away. So, isn’t it worthy of being called the Way?’
Accept the other person’s flow as it is.
And I let it out with my flow.
By doing so, Youngsu copied the shaman’s sword.
A copy of the shell.
But that was enough to destroy that mighty stab.
Phew… Uh-
Silence came.
The whirlwind broke apart and mixed with the breeze, leaving only the tip of Youngsu’s sword shining.
It was truly a frontal destruction of the older brother’s technique.
“What… … ?!”
“good.”
Crunch!
The tip of the sword sliced through Hyung-in’s chest.
Fatal wound, but not fatal.
Hyung-in immediately distanced himself after activating the sensory blocking.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that a fatal wound isn’t a fatal wound.
“Keuk… … !”
“I admit it. If we limit it to killing, you are as strong as me. No, you may even be stronger than me.”
“Fuck… … .”
“But you stopped at that peak, and I didn’t.”
Youngsoo approached his brother.
“Look at this. As soon as I put down my killing style and started using a different style, you got destroyed. That’s what happened to you in the end.”
Youngsoo picked up the knife.
Now, with just one stroke of the sword, he could cut off his brother’s life.
But at that moment.
Phew-
Dozens of shadows fell over Youngsu’s head.
