Chapter 624
Woah
As expected of sahyung.
The Mount Hua disciples clenched their fists at the sight of Baek Cheons victory.
This spar was so different from the previous ones. Of course, the spars before ended with Mount Hua winning, but it was only because they successfully countered the opponent.
This means that the one who was pushing and attacking was Wudang, and this side was the one who managed to overcome the attacks of Wudang.
But now the atmosphere has changed.
Anyone could see that Baek Cheon controlled the spars outcome.
Against Wudang
that is what.
Everyone was shocked by Baek Cheons performance, but there were others whose mouths were truly wide.
That
No, that
Jo Gul and Yoon Jongs surprise at the spar with Wudang was on a different level from just watching this.
He cut it?
No, is that even possible?
Cutting off sword qi was a small thing. All one had to do was refine and create a stronger sword qi than the opponent.
The problem was the features of the opponents sword.
to cut the water with a knife.
It doesnt make sense
Jo Gul and Yoon Jong kept their eyes fixed on Baek Cheon and continued to laugh as if they were dumbfounded.
The sword qi of Wudang was like water. The source of that connection was the sword qi, which flowed continuously from the tip.
Think once.
Was there any way to cut off the flow of water?
Of course, you could cut it. Because the sword qi wasnt steel. But water would come back together even when cut and struck back when you blocked it.
But now Baek Cheon had cut water. He cut it.
yah, Chung Myung.
Uh?
Is that going to happen?
Is there a reason for it not to?
Jo Gul turned his head and looked at Chung Myung.
I couldnt?
Because it is sahyung.
Can he do it?
Because he is sasuk.
Jo Gul clenched the sword, and Yoon Jong placed his hand on Jo Guls shoulder, shaking his head.
Dont. If you get hurt now, youll die.
Chung Myung glanced at Jo Guls red face and smiled.
Of course, one cant cut water.
Right!
But is that water? That is sword qi.
Chung Myung spoke harshly.
Taoist martial arts are nothing more than an imitation of nature. If Mount Hua is about the flower, then Wudang is about flow. Wudangs martial arts try to resemble unending water, but it cannot become perfect water. Of course, it might be possible, but if that were the case, he would be a great general and not a first-class disciple.
Of course, right.
In the end, the sword qi continued the flow by drastically reducing the speed at which qi and sword qi were used. No matter how perfectly it imitates water, there are bound to be subtle breaks within.
Jo Guls eyes shook.
Then he stuck the sword into that tiny gap?
Isnt it simple?
This brat. That is easy to say
Jo Gul trailed off from there and looked at Baek Cheon on the stage. Sticking the sword inside the sword qi was no different from understanding the opponent perfectly.
Trying something one wouldnt even attempt against the sahyung and sajaes they normally sparred with, with someone they just met for the first time?
Mu Ho acknowledged Baek Cheons strength, yet he still tried to push himself to be superior. He was convinced that no matter how strong someone is, they cannot overcome common sense and nature.
This was a clear display of arrogance and inexperience.
On the other hand, Baek Cheon was certain that the world was filled with monsters that defy common sense and geniuses that are beyond comprehension.
It highlighted how insignificant one could be at any given moment.
If I hadnt had other experiences, I wouldnt have known this either.
He could never have understood this if he had remained within the confines of the Mount Hua sect, only engaging in familiar tournaments against the Southern Edge.
Traveling the world with Chung Myung taught Baek Cheon about the worlds harsh realities.
Here I come.
It was time for Wudang to also come to terms with their vulnerability.
Pat!
Baek Cheon kicked off the ground and charged at Mu Ho.
Mu Hos eyes widened. From the beginning, Baek Cheons strategy had been to close the distance. And now, Baek Cheon was once again narrowing the gap between them.
It was as if the difference in distance made no difference at all.
This!
Angered, Mu Ho swung his sword violently, unleashing a chaotic waterfall of sword qi. Soon, Baek Cheon was enveloped in sword qi.
But at that moment.
Paaang!
A red line appeared amid the sword qi, which crashed like a wave with the sound of air being torn apart. Despite the dozens of sword qi attacks, Mu Ho, who had trained for endless hours in Wudang, managed to block the stabs with concise and efficient sword attacks.
No!
Although Baek Cheons movement surprised him, Mu Ho knew that he would not be easily defeated if he could regain his composure.
Kang! Kang!
After dozens of stabs, the opponent will eventually need to catch their breath. If one can insert the sword in this gap, a defensive situation can be turned into an offensive one.
Kang!
If you only see the gap
Kang! Kang! Kang! Kang!
Mu Ho, who barely regained his form, showed embarrassment again.
Why doesnt it stop.
Pat!
Baek Cheons sword, which couldnt be blocked, had cut through right next to Mu Hos eyes in a split second. The sword, deviating slightly upwards, cut the tip of his ear.
Throb!
The vivid pain brought Mu Ho back to reality instantly.
Why isnt he stopping?
Applying such force to a single hit was more difficult than you might think. However, delivering such powerful thrusts continuously without stopping was dozens of times more challenging.
But now, Baek Cheons sword didnt seem to be stopping. Countless stabs came at Mu Ho.
The uninterrupted sword qi, it is.
This guy!
The moment his thoughts reached there, he felt lost. Then, as if not wanting to miss the chance, the stab came in, comparable to nothing less than a beam of light.
Kakak!
Although Mu Ho managed to block the sword at his neck by raising his own, the force of it wasnt something that could be easily shrugged off to attack again.
The collision came, and Mu Hos body flew back like a cannon.
Thud! Crack!
His head hit the ground, and his floating body rolled across the stage several times. After repeatedly rolling on the ground, Mu Ho stopped; he had to grab the ground and scrape it as he stopped, his entire body trembling.
Ughh!
Soon, red blood came out of his mouth.
He was unable to overcome the force and suffered internal injuries. But Mu Ho looked up at Baek Cheon with trembling eyes as if the pain was nothing.
You that.
The Elder said it.
Baek Cheon, with calm and uncaring eyes.
It will be a good place to get to know each others swords.
So, I tried learning it. Wudangs sword isnt so bad.
And then, Mu Ho heard the sound of something breaking within him.
