Chapter 95
What shot out from Jung Myeong’s embrace was a hidden dagger.
Tuhwaak!
The shot dagger collided with something, creating a loud crash.
‘Hidden weapons?’
Only after hearing the sound did those present realize the situation and look ahead.
They discovered a hidden weapon split in half beneath.
A hidden weapon much thinner than the hidden dagger Jung Myeong had thrown lay powerless on the ground.
Those who cast their gazes naturally searched for the owner of the hidden weapon.
“An enemy!”
Simultaneously, whether they were from the Escort Agency or members of the Hoehwa Sect, all took defensive stances.
One might think this was a delayed reaction, but that wasn’t the case.
“Man-am-gun!”
The owner of the hidden weapon who revealed himself belatedly.
His identity made everything understandable.
Man-am-gun, who was said to handle ten thousand hidden weapons!
He was one of the renowned figures in the Jusan Archipelago, known for possessing powerful Lightness Skill and stealth ability.
It would be strange not to understand discovering such a person’s appearance so late.
‘Just how did the Physician manage to…’
‘Huh, when did he!’
As it turned out, Jung Myeong who quickly noticed the incoming hidden weapon and reacted was simply amazing!
Even amid many people’s admiration.
Jung Myeong focused solely on Man-am-gun before his eyes.
Man-am-gun, who had been marveling along with the others, was the first to speak.
“Hmm. Your skill with hidden weapons is more excellent than I heard?”
“Just a small talent.”
“From what I hear, it seems you want to show your strength against me?”
“Killing two birds with one stone.”
Jung Myeong possessed a sharp personality as a Martial Artist rather than a Physician.
What reason would there be to show mercy to an enemy’s circumstances?
His tongue moved sharply.
“Killing two birds with one stone? Hehe. Living this long, I even receive such treatment.”
“From what I see, didn’t you come here wanting to prove your strength?”
“Proof is… proof indeed. How about we have a match?”
“A match. You must want fame, I see?”
“Hmm. I want proof, but that doesn’t mean I covet fame?”
“Is that so? I didn’t know that. However, either way, what you want is sparring anyway, isn’t it?”
“Hehe. You leave me speechless!”
That sharpness consistently pressed Man-am-gun.
Between them, regardless of the reason, what was needed was proof.
An attitude toward the suddenly appeared enemy, Man-am-gun, that he had no intention of showing courtesy and they should just have a match.
To this, Man-am-gun laughed as if absurd.
But he didn’t deny Jung Myeong’s words.
“Since there happens to be that proof, well, what could be bad about it?”
“Tsk. Somehow I feel like I’ve been drawn into this.”
“Otherwise what will you do? Are you going to tuck your tail and run away now?”
“Huh. That’s also true. Since I’m already caught, well, what can I do. I can’t become a cowardly dog running away in fear. I must step forward.”
Did he think that prolonging the verbal battle would bring no benefit?
Or did he think he couldn’t change his approach since he was caught by Jung Myeong?
‘There must be something. But I can’t figure it out at all.’
His intention couldn’t be read.
Regardless of Jung Myeong’s thoughts, Man-am-gun took his stance. It was clearly an attitude of engaging in combat.
Other Martial Artists also tried to step forward at this.
Cheok-
Jung Myeong moved his hand, signaling them not to do so.
“Didn’t we need proof anyway?”
Proof. At these words, what more could be done.
The Branch Leader nodded as if to follow his intention.
Namgung Yeon also gave an interested look, showing her agreement.
* * *
As the Escorts and Wandering Warriors stepped back and surrounded the two in a long circle.
In the situation temporarily created like a training ground.
Jung Myeong was inwardly tense.
‘This guy, his openings aren’t easily visible? He’s more skilled than known.’
Man-am-gun. Jung Myeong knew of him too.
Since the first conflict with the Donghwa Guild Leader, he had been well-versed in the Hangzhou Martial Artists.
A master in a position no different from the previous generation.
Judging from information about his prime active period, his cunning also exceeded the ordinary.
‘I don’t know exactly why he picked a fight in this manner… but thanks to that, things became easier.’
He wasn’t someone to deal with easily.
As he tightened the reins of tension and was about to advance.
“Hmm… Let’s see how well you can play.”
Man-am-gun laughed as if amused and shot out hidden weapons.
And then simultaneously.
[I’ll make the stage grand according to your wishes, so let’s have some fun. You should be greatly grateful. Heh heh.]
“What!?”
[Now, go!]
Jung Myeong sent out a sound transmission that was incomprehensible.
Before Jung Myeong could even move his tongue to resolve his confusion!
Swooooosh-!
Puhwaaaaak!
Hidden weapons shot out like explosions, filling his entire front view.
* * *
A baptism of shooting hidden weapons.
Even for Jung Myeong, taking this head-on would be foolish.
‘I’ll reduce their numbers.’
Just like Man-am-gun’s hidden weapons, he too had prepared.
Puhwaaaaak-!
Hidden weapons revealed themselves from his body.
Bundles of hidden weapons attached to his body like fish scales shot out with him as the center.
Hidden weapons bursting forth without even moving his hands!
“Hooo…!”
Hundreds of hidden weapons were thrown and collided.
Taang. Taang.
Man-am-gun’s hidden weapons and Jung Myeong’s hidden weapons.
The hidden weapons lost their force as soon as they collided with each other and fell to the ground.
Then Man-am-gun looked on with admiration.
‘I did it!’
He had succeeded in neutralizing the baptism of hidden weapons.
Even if just for a moment, against Man-am-gun who was famous for hidden weapons!
This was greatly satisfying for Jung Myeong.
‘Three Origin Kill has become stronger!’
Three Origin Kill, which became the foundation of Three Origin Kill Sword.
The hidden weapon technique he learned that possessed the mysteries of Swift Strike and Illusion.
He never forgot to improve that Three Origin Kill whenever he had the chance.
The method of improvement was to greatly shorten the time.
‘The System exists to be used for this.’
Though he was one who insisted on enlightenment to rise to higher levels.
He actively utilized the System when it came to playing around at levels he had already reached.
‘It seems I won’t be able to rise to those high levels unless I achieve the fundamental level through my own embodiment. But individual martial arts are different.’
This might seem like sophistry.
But hadn’t he always been this way?
While raising the level of the martial arts he possessed and looking toward even higher places.
He never forgot the fundamentals.
This was his resolve that had existed since he fought one-on-one duels against the Donghwa Guild Leader.
And simultaneously an unchanging belief.
How could that resolve and belief break now that he had become Super Peak Level?
However, the story changed after he had already reached the Super Peak Level.
Three Origin Kill and Three Origin Step, which were no different from third-rate martial arts.
Things that were once no different from his True Divine Technique, he had been rebuilding from the ground up.
Using the ability points he had accumulated over time!
He had forcibly matched them to the level of Three Origin Kill Sword.
Kwaddddddeuk-!
The hidden weapons he shot out possessed destructive power that surprised even Man-am-gun.
Taang. Taang.
Man-am-gun, who had been on the offensive, was soon pushed into defense, having to struggle just to block him!
“Huh. Such excessive destructive power. Do you have strength to spare?”
“Isn’t it because I’m still young?”
“That’s excessive for such a reason. But it’s interesting!”
Meanwhile, it wasn’t just destructive power.
Hadn’t he paid attention to Three Origin Step as much as Three Origin Kill?
Paaaaang-!
The strengthened Three Origin Step greatly increased his speed.
In an instant, his increased speed rose to a level that could match Man-am-gun’s speed, who was famous for lightness skills!
“Huh…!”
At this, Man-am-gun admired without hiding it, and admired again.
He had thought he came to find someone famous for sword techniques.
Wasn’t he already exceeding a hundred exchanges with hidden weapon techniques no less than his own?
As if toying with him, he kept throwing hidden weapons.
Paaaaak!
To face him, he tried to check his defenses and create distance.
But as soon as he created distance.
Tuhwaaaaak-!
The Poison Demon Physician quickly followed.
‘How vicious! Not Poison Demon but Poison Heart!’
He pressed forward with that characteristic viciousness.
Not only that. When he threw a baptism of hidden weapons to block this.
Taang. Taang.
He threw even more hidden weapons than that.
‘How well he carries them around…!’
As much as handling hidden weapons, storing and managing them was also the work of a hidden weapon master.
That physician was accomplishing this as well as Man-am-gun himself.
What could he do about this.
When quantity doesn’t work, one must compete with quality.
“If it comes to this, I too have no choice but to become serious!”
“Are you fighting with your mouth?”
“Kuhh…! Take this!”
Man-am-gun finally drew upon his True Divine Technique.
[Ten Thousand Shadow Rock Extreme: One Second Shadow Dive]
The mystery of illusion instantly permeated his hidden weapons.
The permeated mystery performed two strange techniques.
Tsutsutsutsu-tsuk-
The hidden weapon shot was one, but when a moment passed, that hidden weapon had already become more than dozens.
Thus the poured hidden weapons moved leisurely as if they had become living fish and aimed at Jung Myeong.
Swieek-
Dozens of hidden weapons were poised to pierce Jung Myeong’s vital points!
“!!!!”
Taang. Taang.
It was the moment Jung Myeong swung his hand to block this.
Then, the second technique revealed itself.
Puhwaaaaak-!
Not from his front, but right from below the ground.
The real hidden weapon that had been hiding its form through the mystery of illusion was shot.
“How underhanded!”
The place it aimed for was of all places, that spot!
Even aiming for a place that would make any man instinctively shrink back.
Though the method was utterly underhanded, he had to acknowledge that it was efficient.
Performing two techniques at once with one mystery was impossible with ordinary martial techniques!
However, Jung Myeong who faced this was no pushover either.
[Three Origin Kill First Kill: Extreme Pressure]
Just before being hit, he brought out a new martial technique of the upgraded Three Origin Kill.
Extreme Pressure. Literally a martial technique that would press down and crush the opponent.
Jeujeujeujuk-
A martial technique of truly bizarre method that used the mystery of weight despite being a hidden weapon technique unfolded from his hands.
What kind of nonsensical martial technique was this, one might think.
Puhwaaaaak-!
It was the moment he moved his hands to unfold Extreme Pressure straight downward.
Jung Myeong’s hidden weapons imbued with the mystery of weight pressed down on the surroundings.
Geugeugeugeugeuk- Geugeuk-
Tremendous pressure swept through the surroundings.
Thus succeeding in dominating all that space.
Taang-!
His hidden weapon loaded with Extreme Pressure finally succeeded in blocking the Shadow Dive that surged up from below.
“Huh…! To block that!”
At this, Man-am-gun’s eyes filled with surprise.
Jung Myeong’s eyes filled with exhilaration at succeeding in blocking the strange and wondrous move.
At that moment when joy and sorrow crossed!
The two simultaneously shared one thing.
‘This is interesting…!’
‘Let’s see how far this goes?’
The competitive spirit that couldn’t help but boil up from deep in their hearts!
The moment this competitive spirit filled both their hearts!
Puhwaaaaak-!
The two crossed paths once again.
