Episode 230: Soldier’s Pride (2)
There was a suffocating silence amidst the thick tension.
Liu Xue, who had been glaring at Tang Xiaotian for a moment, soon turned his head again. It was to finish eating the remaining somen in the bowl.
Even with the scary cilantro right in front of you, you still prioritize eating it. It was truly an unparalleled boldness.
Tang Xiaotian’s eyes were wide open, as if he was dumbfounded.
Yu Jin-san spoke softly to him.
“We haven’t finished eating yet, so why don’t you wait a little bit?”
Was it because Yang Gui spoke in an unexpectedly gentle manner? Or perhaps it was because the sound was burdensome, Tang Xiaotian’s excitement seemed to have subsided.
He stood silently and waited. May Yingoe finish his meal.
And Eugene San also watched his granddaughter eat somen.
‘I judged well. Still, he’s a sensible guy.’
Yu Jin-san had finished his meal before the bowl broke, but Yu Seol was enjoying his meal.
Wasn’t the granddaughter more sensitive than anyone else when it came to eating?
Yu Jin-san was secretly impressed by Tang So-cheon’s foresight to stop provocation at an appropriate level. Otherwise, it was obvious that miserable consequences would follow.
“wait for a sec. “I almost ate it all.”
Yuseol lifted up the bowl of somen.
I can’t believe I’m trying to eat all the soup and the ingredients without leaving anything behind. It seemed to suit my taste.
“It’s okay, just eat slowly.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the monster.
Not only the elders of the party, but also the onlookers at the market flocked in.
At a glance, their morale was shaking. Even though Yin Kai is calmly eating some noodles, Tang Xiaotian is just watching, so it has to be like that.
At that time, the old man who had been following his grandson shouted.
“We will close the market immediately, so everyone go home!”
At his words, everyone stopped what they were doing and began to disperse.
Perhaps because it was a village that operated like a single clan, no one rebelled.
This was a situation that Yujinsan had expected to some extent.
‘It means that you will not share the results of the duel.’
Tang So-cheon was like a landlord on whom Tang Mun’s military men depended.
What if he breaks down in front of everyone? The party will certainly be shaken to its core.
This is probably to prevent that to some extent.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The ones that remain are Yin-Yang Twin Monster and Tang So-Cheon. And there were only a few senior members of the party family.
It was the sound of Yuseol putting down the bowl of noodles.
An expression of satisfaction remained on his face.
“it was tasty.”
“okay. “I’ve eaten enough, so now I have to digest it.”
Finally, the yin-yang pair left their seats and stood up.
Facing them, Tang Xiaotian looked at the two in turns and searched.
Unlike his confident self from before, he looked cautious.
“Which of you two will compete with me?”
He also knew. That you will be fighting against evil.
Just to make sure.
And before he knew it, his arrogant tone of voice had become more humble. It would be an acknowledgment of the yin-yang pair.
If the words that go are good, the words that come back will also be good.
“I will fight.”
Yu Seol was in a good mood because her stomach was full, and her face was brighter than before.
At that time, Yu Jinshan drove a wedge and reassured Tang Xiaotian.
“There’s nothing to worry about. “I will never intervene.”
By Yu Jin-san’s standards, Tang So-cheon deserved more respect than the head of the family who miseducated her children.
As long as I won, there was no need to emotionally confront him.
“Be sure to keep those words.”
In the middle of the market.
Two masters stood face to face in a quiet street.
As a newcomer who appeared like a storm, Eum-gae quickly rose to the ranks of top martial arts masters. And another person was the greatest expert of Tangmun in history and was revered as a hero of Sichuan Province.
Although there were only a few onlookers, it was a match that would make the martial arts world buzz.
“I will give it my all.”
Even Yu Jin-san was thrilled by the power of the fishing technique he was seeing in action for the first time.
‘Amazing, our Seol! ‘It’s very grand!’
Yu Jin-san cheered for his granddaughter with both hands clasped.
Countless memorizations were rushing desperately to break through the Yonghwachang.
However, nothing could break through the barrier created by Eochangsul. If you approach, you’ll just be crushed.
Kwa-kwa-kwang-! Kwa-kwa-kwang-!
The intensity of sound gradually weakened and the number of memorizations decreased sharply.
And after a while, there was silence, as if nothing like that had ever happened.
It was a very long time between the parties, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.
“...after.”
A deep sigh came out of Tang Xiaotian’s mouth.
His face was pale, perhaps because he had used up all his strength.
Unexpectedly, he looked satisfied. As if he was relieved to have poured his all into it.
And Yonghwachang approached him, dancing in the air. It seemed like he was teasing, but no one could say anything.
The elders of the Tang mun were already in a state of shock because of the fishing technique, which was considered the highest level of martial arts.
“Oh, fisherman’s liquor.”
“Brother Xiaoqian...”
Yonghwachang, controlled by Liu Xue, slowly wandered around Tang Xiaotian as if it had a soul.
It looked as if he was about to hit his head. And he seemed to be wondering when to strike.
He closed his eyes without resisting.
It was an expression of his intention to die cleanly because he lost the duel.
The elders of the party cried out.
I would like to save Tang Xiaotian, but what is the use? His life was already in the hands of evil.
And it was around the time when everyone’s emotions reached their peak.
“That’s enough.”
With a single word from Yujinsan, Yonghwachang was instantly returned to Yuseol’s grasp.
“You haven’t even hit me yet?”
“Looking at him, it’s no different from having already received thousands of blows.”
“So you’re just leaving?”
“As a warrior, he deserves respect.”
He did not shamefully beg for his life, nor did he try to run away.
And to admit defeat so cleanly.
Yu Jin-san was happy to see a proper martial artist after a long time.
In any case, Tang Xiaotian looked desperate, as if he had lost everything.
The weight of the title of the best expert in Tangmun.
The person carrying such a heavy load ended up falling.
“...I want to play more.”
“Now that’s enough, let’s go.”
The purpose of coming to the party gate had already been achieved.
They might try to make light of today’s events, but they probably knew it themselves. That Tangmun was destroyed by the Yin-Yang twin monsters.
Eugene San dragged his granddaughter and walked towards the entrance of the village.
The elders of the party just looked at the two blankly.
What can you do once you have witnessed fishing techniques? Mobilizing the Dark Dragon was not even considered.
After a while, when they arrived at the entrance to the village, Yuseol looked puzzled and said,
“No one died this time either.”
Even in the Jongnam faction. And also at the party gate.
Yu Jin-san did not kill anyone during this expedition.
“why? “Are you worried that your budget seems to be running low?”
“No, I’m just curious.”
“There is a reason for that. But if a situation arises where I have to kill, I will do so without hesitation.”
I knew it well because I had experienced it countless times since I was young. The moment I hesitated, the place where I was punished was Moorim.
At that time, the granddaughter, who had been listening without thinking, suddenly stamped her feet and shouted.
“Oh, that’s right! Grandpa, you’re in big trouble.”
“What’s the big deal?”
Yoo Seol cried and shouted.
“We left without paying for the house!”
