Episode 964. It was a difficult battle to decide whether to win or lose
.
Tae Sangjeon.
Drink time (8:00 p.m.).
Three people sat face to face with a table between them.
These are Moo-deok Jang, the master of Mu-geuk-mun, Mu-geuk-sang-in, the leader of Hocheon, and Eui-jeong Lee, the Ui-cheon swordsman.
Maybe it was because we spent a long time working together as Chillpaimoon – even though we gathered on a serious topic – the atmosphere was not heavy.
Perhaps it is because of the unique confidence of masters in their 10s.
In fact, if these three people work together, this is why the Nam Maeng can be wiped out of Moorim overnight.
“...so I’m going to arrange a meeting with the Sword King in secret. Even the Sword King will not be able to refuse since he has done something in Garden County.”
At the words of the merchant, Uicheon Sword Master helped a bit.
“Let’s use the martial arts command on the spot and bring the Sword King into the fight, except for this.”
The free apprentice, who was shaking his head, said as if talking to himself.
“If it’s a one-on-one fight, it’ll be hard to avoid injury... Let’s sort out Namgyong’s problem while the Sword King is in the mood?”
“That’s right. It’s a bit cumbersome, but I think it’s the best way to block Namcheon Grand Council from getting involved.”
“It is not a good idea. If we work together with the Sword King, words will surely come out later. Even if it is somewhat risky and takes time, going one-on-one is the right thing to do.”
The free island system was in favor of a one-on-one confrontation.
Because right now there is no better way.
he asked in succession.
“If not, what is the order? Who would you like to be the first to cross swords with the Sword King? It’s not like we’re just randomly arguing and fighting.”
Then the Merchant Mugeuk replied.
“It would be nice if Uicheon Geomson started it.”
“Is there any reason?”
“Bindo is the leader of Hocheonmaeng, and Musangdoje is the Taesang of Mugeukmun. If we lose by any chance, there may be a saying, ‘Shouldn’t we get out of Nanjing?’ But Uicheon Geomson is not the representative of Hocheonmaeng or Mugeukmoon... Even if Uicheon Geomson is defeated, no one will connect him with Nanjing.”
Since it was a remark with the defeat of all three in mind, Sword Master Uicheon was not particularly offended.
In addition, the difference between the actions of the top 10 masters was literally a piece of paper, so there was nothing strange about the outcome.
“Okay. Nobudo is also a swordsman, so I’ve always wondered how good the Sword King’s sword skills are. Nobu is in the vanguard.”
“Then frequency will do.”
The Merchant Mugeuk volunteered to be ahead of the Free Apprenticeship.
This is because, if the free apprenticeship is defeated, there could be a saying, ‘Mugeukmun who lost the fight should give way’.
Mu Sangdoje knew the mind of such a merchant and accepted it kindly.

Hapbi.
Namgung Se.
midnight.
Sword King Namgung Byeok, who was reading a book alone in the main house, hesitated.
Outside the door, I felt a strong energy that made my head stand on end.
Under the circumstances, the uninvited guest revealed his presence.
‘Hmm! This kind of prayer... Who is it?’
He closed the book and got up, hoping that the other party would be kind to him.
And it’s time to open the door and go out to the floor.
Shiiik-!
A dagger flew in with a sharp punch and stuck into the pillar.
Namgung Byeok hurriedly looked around, but couldn’t feel any more formidable energy.
As he glanced back at the dagger, his eyes widened.
A piece of paper was tied to the handle of the dagger.
Namgung Byeok, thinking of something, pulled out a dagger from the pillar.
When I unwrapped the paper, it read, ‘Let’s discuss Nanjing’s affairs at Pogongsa tomorrow (9:00 a.m.).’
The moment he saw the three names written below, a heavy voice flowed from Namgung Byeok’s mouth.
“Hmm!”
An invitation from Uicheon Geomzon, a free apprenticeship that is the best of the best
...
***
Pogsa.
The wall of Namgung fell in front of Pogongsa’s mountain gate.
I couldn’t see anyone coming and going who had used their hands in advance.
“As we all know, Namcheon is a person who doesn’t follow the will of the Sword King, but is that true? Right now, I want to fight with you for Mugeukmun, but I’m holding back because I don’t know how Namcheon will turn out.”
At the provocation of the free apprenticeship, Namgung Byeok was furious.
“Good! If Namcheon cares about you that much, I promise you in my name. Namcheon will not be involved in the battle of the ten great masters. Are you done now? Now that I see it, it seems that he provoked me because he wanted to hear those words, but since he did what he wanted, let’s decide who is superior or inferior.”
Along with the horse, Namgung Byeok drew his sword.
It was an attitude that it didn’t matter if it wasn’t one-on-one, but one-on-three.
In front of his opportunity, Uicheon Geomjon, Mugeuksangin, and Musang apprentice stuck out their tongues.
As promised, Uicheon Swordsman stepped forward.
“I have the honor of being one of the ten greatest masters in the world, so I will fight the Sword King first. Others, please refrain from stepping out.”
Mugeuk merchant and Musang apprentice stepped back without saying a word.
So far, everything was as they had planned.
Eventually, the Sword King and Uicheon Sword Master ran towards each other.
Cha Cha Cha Chang-!
Sword strikes came and went at an invisible speed.
Before the afterimage of the sword disappeared, a new afterimage of the sword was overlaid on top of it.
Sparks flew nonstop in the space between the Sword King and Uicheon Swordsman.
When they were unable to gain the upper hand with sword attacks, the two fell like thunderbolts.
Before long, blue energy emanated from the Sword King’s sword and wrapped around his son-in-law.
It was the manifestation of the sword’s will of the Changgung Muae Sword.
Eventually, all things that arose like illusions began to come together at one point.
Uicheon Sword Master wasn’t just watching.
Hundreds of sword shapes floated behind him like fan blades.
Exclamation flowed from the mouths of Mugeuk Merchant and Musang Apprentice in front of the spectacle created by Uicheon Musang Sword’s sword doctor.
The giant sphere created by the Sword King flew toward Uicheon Sword Zone.
As if waiting, Uicheon Swordsman also extended his sword forward.
The sword shapes that were lined up behind him like the spokes of a fan pushed toward the sword king like a wave.
Kwajajajajak-!
When the sphere and the sword shape met, the sword shape broke with a bizarre sound.
The broken sword shape turned into shining powder and fell to the ground before disappearing.
It wasn’t just the sword that was broken.
Every time they collided with the sword, the sphere was also cracked.
Still, the sword king’s sphere – like a salmon swimming upstream – continued forward.
It was a fight that would end when the sphere pierced the sword or the sword broke the sphere.
Kwajajajajak-! Kwajak! Kwakwang!
Finally, the sphere exploded with a deafening explosion.
Even the sword type was not safe.
The sword brothers caught in the sphere’s explosion also turned into light powder and faded away.
The next moment, the Sword King and Uicheon Swordsman threw their swords as if they had promised.
Following the sword fight, he opened the sword.
The lips of the two were bluish, probably from internal injuries, but neither of them showed any sign of stopping.
The Sword King’s sword and Uicheon Sword Master’s sword intertwined like a dragon and a tiger in the sky.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam-! Boom!
There was a thundering sound every time the two swords collided.
The fight that started in the center moved to the Sword King as time passed. The sword king’s reaction was delayed.
Eventually, the Sword King’s sword bounced off Uicheon Geomjon’s sword.
In that gap, Uicheon Swordsman’s sword flew at the Sword King like a comb.
Surprised, the sword king soared into the sky to avoid Uicheon Geomjon’s sword while recovering the bounced sword.
And he hit the sword of Uicheon Geomjon that followed like a shadow with all his might.
In an instant, Uicheon Sword Zone’s sword evaded the Sword King’s sword with a clever movement and then brushed past the Sword King’s back.
Dig-.
The Sword King fell to the ground lightly like a feather.
Uicheon Geomjon’s sword circled over the Sword King’s head like an eagle.
The sword king, who had been defeated in the battle of the sword, vomited out his blood and said, ‘I was shocked!’ at the heightened passion.
The moment he was about to admit defeat, Uicheon Swordsman spoke.
“It was a difficult battle to win or lose.”
At the same time as he spoke, Uicheon Geomjon’s sword fell to the ground.
It was as if he had failed to retrieve the sword after enduring with bravado.
