Chapter 638
Heo Gong laughed as if the idea was absurd.
I dont even feel angry.
He might have been dismissed as a brat if he had been a bit younger. However, in Heo Gongs eyes, Chung Myung was someone capable of standing behind his words.
All anger stems from the tip of the tongue alone.
With that, Heo Gong aimed his sword at Chung Myung.
You will be taking responsibility for your words.
The elder of Wudang had indeed spoken wisely. Yet, even after hearing those words, Chung Myung remained unfazed.
If I take responsibility, I see it through to the end. The burden is mine alone.
I truly cannot stand it.
Heo Gong shook his head slightly, calmly gathering his energy.
Truth be told, he was angry.
It wasnt just the rude words and actions that infuriated him. His disciples were not so weak as to be disturbed by a mere child. However, the disdainful attitude towards the elder of Wudang truly irked him.
And those eyes. Those eyes were infuriating.
I dont understand.
He hadnt lived for just a day or two.
Over his long life, he had encountered countless people and engaged in numerous sword fights. As a result, he developed the ability to discern others thoughts by looking into their eyes.
That is clearly the gaze of the strong looking down on the weak.
He couldnt comprehend it at all.
This baseless confidence?
Of course, he could possess it. Was he boasting simply because he didnt want to lose momentum?
Yes, that, too, was a possibility.
He was willing to understand that. A genius who had only ever known Mount Hua might not grasp how vast the sky is.
But those eyes didnt seem to reflect that.
It wasnt a gaze that looked down on others based on unfounded confidence. Only those truly convinced of their unconditional superiority over their opponents can exhibit such a look.
Hmm.
Heo Gong cleared his throat slightly and slowly began to speak.
I just said I would teach. I wasnt trying to discipline you. for new novels
And his eyes gradually darkened.
I guess you need to know how high the sky is.
Hoh.
Chung Myung grinned.
That is nice to hear.
Uh?
There have been quite a few people who have said that to me, but no one succeeded, though? Thanks to that, I still dont know how high the sky is.
I would be very grateful if the elder could show me that.
The composure on Heo Gongs face had long vanished. It wasnt a great thing to say, but it felt like his attitude and the look in his eyes kept breaking the discipline.
At that moment, Chung Myung laughed again.
But teaching it seems like the world has changed a lot. Nowadays, dont you think living itself is a lesson?
Heo Gong was slightly shocked.
Does that guy really sense my killing intent?
As he opened his mouth to make an excuse, Chung Myung raised his hand and stopped him.
I-it is fine. I dont know why you are talking so much on the stage.
Isnt the result what matters? One will discover if what you say is right or I am right.
Chung Myungs sword was confidently aimed into the air. Heo Gong stopped laughing.
At least your confidence can be called the best in the world.
So, it was more dangerous.
The strong did not necessarily have a strong influence. A person who pursued only martial arts, cut off talks with his sahyung, and focused on the sword alone could not change his sect, no matter how strong he got.
However, such a person would lead the sect regardless of the strength.
The more he talked and watched, the firmer his decision became.
Blue sword qi rose from the tip of the sword in the air.
I guess I will have to endure this humiliation.
The sword qi he released first was overlapped by the subsequent ones, and another layer of sword qi was added. This created a massive force, and now Chung Myung was facing a wall of sword qi.
And at that moment, even Heo Gongs face contorted.
Chung Myung took a step towards the massive wall of sword qi.
His movement seemed unreal, as if the sword qi flying in front of his eyes didnt actually exist.
Nonsense!
Heo Gongs eyes widened in disbelief. It wouldnt have been surprising if the sword qi had torn Chung Myungs body to shreds.
Paat!
But at that moment, Chung Myung calmly held out his sword and penetrated the wall of sword qi.
Kwagagaga!
It seemed impossible to tear through this wall, which had been reinforced layer upon layer. Yet, the sword didnt stop.
Kakakak!
The sword moved relentlessly, striking at the core of the wall.
Slash!
And the sword, piercing a bit too deeply, even created a gap.
Ah!
Then, Chung Myungs red sword qi flooded through the wall Heo Gong had created.
Chung Myung slowly walked out among the scattering fragments of sword qi, his sword twitching slightly. Yet, there was no look of strain on his face.
Even Heo Gong was at a loss for words now.
He had never thought he would win this spar with a single hit; he had merely hoped to make Chung Myung step back.
But instead, the disciple of Mount Hua had struck back in kind, neutralizing the sword qi. It seemed to prove that neither was lacking compared to the other.
Such a force.
Heo Gong watched Chung Myung, who was slowly approaching.
Regardless of the situation, it was impossible not to feel admiration. But then, Chung Myungs lips curved into a smile.
three attacks.
Um?
He looked at Chung Myung with doubtful eyes.
Chung Myungs smile widened, revealing his teeth, and then an eerie qi emanated from him.
I gave in for three attacks.
Heo Gong, confused because he couldnt grasp the meaning, suddenly felt a jolt as if struck by lightning.
His face turned red instantly, and his body seethed with anger.
Three attacks? Impossible!
The rules of Kangho.
When two people entered a spar, the one with greater strength allowed the weaker opponent a three-attack head start.
This wasnt a rule to be followed in every fight. Still, when theres a significant difference in skill, its common sense to be considerate of the opponent.
And such a concession was
Is he saying that he gave that to me?
This
The expression on Heo Gongs face contorted. This was the utmost humiliation he had ever faced in his life.
You damned brat
The boy, who was just the age of his grandson, had given him a concession?
His mind went blank.
Everything, including the reputation of the Taoists and his plan, turned to waste because of this one guy.
And the anger that rose soon took over his entire body.
As he was losing his composure, the voice of Chung Myung came.
This much concession should be enough
Chung Myung spoke clearly,
Dont blame my sword for being heartless now.
You
In the end, Heo Gongs words were cut off. He had never been humiliated like this in front of so many people.
YOUUUUU!
He rushed out like a beast, emitting a killing intent as if he wanted to kill Chung Myung. And there, a devilish smile appeared on Chung Myungs lips.
