161. My Own Image (4)
I am not stupid. A person who makes a living by talking cannot be ignorant of the power of words. I have seen many top executives and tycoons lose contracts worth thousands of nyang with a single slip of the tongue.
So, what I’m saying is that it wasn’t a mistake at all that I used the word “Habukpengga” to disparage him. It was intentional.
“Black Noh, White Noh. Please protect the young lady over there, she might get involved.”
“yes.”
However, Paeng Chae-hyang was not as bad of a scoundrel as her cousin Paeng Jin-yeong, and seemed to be able to distinguish between right and wrong.
At Peng Chae-hyang’s command, Baek-no and Heuk-no stood on either side of Gwan-seo-ye. Gwan-seo-ye seemed to be opening her mouth, but I couldn’t hear her. She had already opened her mouth.
Peng Chae-hyang also turned her face towards me, as if she had confirmed the situation.
“Then now it’s just the two of us who have to calculate.”
“Please promise me just this one thing.”
“What is it?”
“Please take care of the damage to the ship at Habuk Pangga.”
“Broken? What does that mean?”
Paeng Chae-hyang asked blankly. It seemed like she really didn’t understand what I said. I tried to explain again, but Paeng Chae-hyang seemed to understand only then and laughed loudly. Paeng Chae-hyang stopped laughing and wiped her tears with her fingers and said.
“What did you say? Are you kidding me? If you and I fight, what’s the point of the ship getting damaged?”
“If unmanned ships fight each other, they will be damaged. Your cousin just destroyed the deck of this ship.”
“Because it’s ridiculous.”
Peng Chae-hyang stopped laughing and became serious.
“It seems like you beat my cousin by chance, but I’m a completely different person from him. I guess you don’t know because I’m not a martial artist. My cousin is a collateral descendant and I’m a direct descendant. And I even have a nickname.”
“It was Pyeowol Island, right? You’re so pretty that I can definitely understand your nickname.”
“Ah. Thank you. No, that’s not it!”
Paeng Chae-hyang’s face lightened at my compliments, and she smiled bashfully before returning to a serious expression. She seemed to be someone who had extreme emotional ups and downs.
“Huh. If you thought you could get through this with such flattery, you were mistaken.”
“It wasn’t just like that.”
“That wasn’t all? So you were intending to do that?”
Paeng Chae-hyang got angry. I chuckled. It was fun to tease her because her emotions were so varied. But in reality, I was right in praising her because she was pretty. In fact, I had no intention of avoiding this fight.
“Let’s stop rambling now.”
Paeng Chae-hyang pulled out the sword on her back. The sword armor fell down with a thud, splitting the deck. In order to safely store a sword of that size, the armor had to be large and heavy.
“… … .”
“I told you. It’ll break.”
“Okay, I got it. Now be quiet, we’ll take care of it!”
Peng Chae-hyang screamed incessantly. I smiled and put my hand on the sword.
“Okay. Let’s get started quickly.”
“Who would say such a thing? It’s so shameless.”
Paeng Chae-hyang’s face hardened again as the atmosphere became like a farce. Of course, from her perspective, she had come to avenge the family’s insult. It was not the time to be joking around like this.
“You come first. I’ll give you three seconds.”
“I liked hearing those words the best.”
“What nonsense… … .”
I kicked the ground right away. That’s why I like to say that I give up the three-step. It’s because I can focus on attacking without worrying about defense.
Paeng Chae-hyang is obviously not easy. He is the same name as Namgung Hwi, who I fought with in the afterlife. If there had been no special rules when I fought Namgung Hwi back then, I would have lost. Thinking about that, I couldn’t let my guard down at all.
I cut the pine cones while drawing my sword. I think someone said that. They say that the sword is the best sword because the scabbard supports the ground.
Peng Chae-hyang immediately blocked it with the large sword unique to Habuk Pengga.
bang!
My Songmungogeom and Peng Chaehyang’s sword collided. I could see Peng Chaehyang’s face up close. I didn’t have time to admire her beautiful face, and I could only confirm that I was surprised. Perhaps the power contained in my sword was stronger than I thought.
“Huh!”
Paeng Chae-hyang jumped back to relieve his strength. The deck broke again as he jumped back. Even if it was a mistake to drop the armor and damage it, Paeng Chae-hyang’s boast that the ship would not be damaged during the fight was shattered on the first try.
“Taegeuk inspection?”
Peng Chae-hyang, who was stepping back, was surprised to see the single thread in my sword.
Perhaps Peng Jin-young’s friends didn’t tell him that I was a Taegeuk swordsman. It was unclear whether it was because Peng Jin-young had declared that I was an impersonator or because they were too embarrassed to reveal it.
“I heard you were a disciple of the non-partisan faction, but what is this… … .”
Peng Chae-hyang also seemed confused as to whether I was the real Taegeuk Sword Master.
Perhaps he was confused between the fact that a lay disciple could not become a Taegeuk swordsman and his own skill level being sufficient to become a Taegeuk swordsman.
I didn’t want to win because of that confusion. The reason I provoked Habukpangga was also because I wanted to properly show off my skills.
Fog was pouring out of my sword. If a shaman’s Songmungo sword, the one holding the water sword symbolizing the Taegeuk, could pour out fog from his sword, then there was only one answer.
“Youun Sword Technique! This is the real Taegeuk Sword Technique!”
The astonished Peng Chae-hyang shouted. The eyes of the black and white roosters who were watching were wide open.
There are other martial arts that are not like that, but the Yu-un Sword Technique always uses the first form, Yu-un-mu-saek, first. Yu-un-mu-saek means the fortress of clouds. This is because laying down clouds like fog is the beginning of all Yu-un Sword Technique forms.
That means two out of the three seconds I have left to fully attack have passed.
A soft and counter-attacking style of Yuyun Sword Technique. If it were normal, the second technique, Yunzhong Xianwu (雲中旋舞), would be used as a link.
But now was the only chance to attack without considering defense. The graceful sword technique was not suitable for the current situation.
The role of the Yuun Sword Technique was to blur the eyes with the fog that was emitted. I immediately switched to the Guyusura Sword and changed the grip method of the sword handle.
Depending on what swordsmanship you use, the points on which you should concentrate your internal energy will vary. This is because swordsmanship is not something you do with just your hands, but with your entire body.
That is why martial arts of the same school are smoothly linked in their transitions. This is because they are usually martial arts of the same principle.
However, in order to switch between these two martial arts with such different results, proficiency in developing internal energy was important. It was my first time doing it, but I was confident that I could do it at my current level.
Among the aggressive styles of the Guyusura Sword, this style is so focused on attack that it could be called fanatic. It would be the finale to the three styles that were given to me for free.
“Ugh!”
It was the third technique of the Guyusura Sword, Cheonjanjeokmyeo (Heavenly Silence Extinction). The sword was covered in blood-red energy and powerful waves swept through it.
The whirlwind circled around the sword and then burst out towards Peng Chae-hyang. It was as if the whirlwind, which should have been stuck to the ground, was stuck to the sword.
Kwakwakwang!
The tornado flew towards Peng Chae-hyang, destroying everything around it, including decks, objects, desks, and furniture.
Beyond the whirlwind, Paeng Chae-hyang’s serious face is visible. She is in the process of instilling a strong bet into Tao.
If it weren’t for the clouds that spread out in a colorless manner, she would have reacted sooner, but she had expected a soft sword strike, so she delayed for a moment.
And that moment could have brought eternal death to unmanned beings like us.
Peng Chae-hyang tried to raise her sword above her head to split the tornado, but it seemed to me that it was a little too late.
“Haat!”
The current Peng Chae-hyang needed to be motivated. She had to use all her strength in a situation where she didn’t have enough strength in terms of her internal energy or posture. That meant straining her body. Blood flowed out from the corners of Peng Chae-hyang’s lips.
Kukookung!
However, the tornado did not collide with Peng Chae-hyang. It flew upward right in front of Peng Chae-hyang.
The career that had flown away in a whirlwind scattered in the sky making the sound of firecrackers.
“… … White tiger, black tiger!”
Peng Chae-hyang soon realized what had happened and shouted in anger.
The ones who changed the direction of the whirlwind were none other than Paeng Chae-hyang’s escorts, Baek-no and Heuk-no, who had been watching from afar.
I also didn’t see the black and white roosters approaching Peng Chae-hyang. That must mean that the black and white roosters who are Peng Chae-hyang’s escorts are strong. After all, she is the daughter of a noble family, so there’s no way she would have weak people as her escorts.
“This fight is over.”
“What? It’s not over yet! I could have stopped it!”
“You couldn’t have stopped everything. Don’t you know that you’re a little late?”
Paeng Chae-hyang kept her mouth shut at Baek-no’s words. Baek-no’s words were blocked, but there must have been a blow. That was exactly what I expected. She also seemed to know that she was a little late.
“It is shameful for a young lady from Hebei to be injured in Beijing, the center of Hebei, and not anywhere else.”
“Don’t you think it’s a disgrace to me that I ruined this fight like this?”
“More important than numbers is the preservation of the body. The young lady is not just a young lady. She is the representative of the future of Habukpangga.”
This time it was Heukno’s words. I sighed in relief as I watched it.
In fact, I wrote Cheonjanjeokmyeo with Black Noh and White Noh’s intervention in mind. Fortunately, they moved as I expected. Otherwise, Peng Chaehyang would have been badly injured.
If I hadn’t confirmed the loyalty of the black and white roosters, I wouldn’t have taken this gamble.
“Ugh… … .”
Although Paeng Chae-hyang was convinced by Baek-no and Heuk-no’s words, it seemed that she was unable to get rid of the shame of almost allowing me to receive a fatal blow.
“Hey, what’s your name?”
Peng Chae-hyang glared at me and asked. I nodded and answered.
“This is Mukhwiyoung. I am the head of the Hwiyoungsangdan.”
“What are you?”
“Didn’t I tell you? You’re the top tier member of the Whiyoung Group.”
“What kind of upper class is that strong! Stop talking nonsense!”
Paeng Chae-hyang shouted. I also realized that I had gained strength that made me no longer worthy of being called a merchant. But what can I say when my roots are those of a merchant?
“I also do the shaman’s Taegeuk inspection.”
“Is that even possible in the first place?”
“I asked Jang Moon-in the same question, and he said it was up to him.”
“ha.”
Peng Chae-hyang touched her temple as if she was dizzy.
“I see why you said something like ‘Habukpengga’. You are essentially a disciple of the shaman’s original school.”
I shrugged. As expected, Peng Chae-hyang was different from the other Habuk Peng people who seemed to have muscles all the way to their brains.
There was no particular reason why I insisted on mentioning the likes of Habukpengga. It was because there was no way that the likes of Habukpengga could do anything to the Whiyoungsangdan.
If I wanted to openly harm the Whiyoungsangdan, I would have to confront the non-partisan faction head-on. That’s how special and close my relationship with the non-partisan faction was. I mentioned it intentionally to show the Whiyoungsangdan’s position. Of course, I also feel like I just said it out of annoyance.
“I admit my cousin was the first to be rude, but that was a very insulting choice of words.”
“I also think that Habukpangga is a prestigious family. If I had seen you first, I wouldn’t have said that.”
“Huh. You’re making me the only one who feels embarrassed.”
Peng Chae-hyang sighed, picked up the sword and put it in.
“I can’t believe it. I’ve had a few sparring matches with non-partisan disciples, but I’ve never seen anyone like you.”
“I am a lay disciple. Wouldn’t it be a bit strange to associate a lay disciple with the direct lineage of the Habuk Peng family?”
“But you are a great swordsman, and it is strange that someone like you is not known at all in the martial arts world. It may be a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but I am a pretty good swordsman.”
That’s because it’s only been three years since I became a disciple of the non-partisan faction. I didn’t say anything because I thought Peng Chae-hyang would be really embarrassed if I said anything.
“Let’s meet again later. I won’t bring an escort this time. Or I can visit the shamans unexpectedly.”
Paeng Chae-hyang’s eyes burned. It seemed that she was quite ashamed that she had almost lost.
“If I get the chance.”
“I’m unlucky.”
Peng Chae-hyang let out a harsh word and tried to climb into the palanquin.
“Just a moment!”
“……why?”
Peng Chae-hyang looked back. I smiled and said.
“Please take care of the damaged boat before you go.”
I pointed to the dock with my finger. There was a merchant who had rented us a boat at the dock. Even without looking, his expression was sad. Our boat, which had already made several huge noises, could not possibly be normal.
“……ah.”
Peng Chae-hyang closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and trembled. After taking a moment to calm her mind, Peng Chae-hyang moved her trembling lips.
“Okay… … .”
“Young lady! Give us back our admission ticket. We won’t be able to play.”
At that moment, Kwan Seo-ye, who had been quietly watching, shouted. At that moment, I too, like Peng Chae-hyang, looked at Kwan Seo-ye with a look of bewilderment. It was truly the final blow.
