Childhood Friend of the Zenith – 498 (Part 2)



498 (Part 2)

“[That’s nonsense.]

‘Yes. It is nonsense.’

So he didn’t do it.

If it had been just a little while ago he might have done it.

‘… Now I have to endure a bit.’

At this point he had to think about changing his combat style.

He wasn’t scared.

Just.

‘My life has become a bit more valuable.’

There were now many things he needed to do with this life.

He thought he should manage things well until the work was done.

Besides

‘… I was told to fix the martial arts.’

The martial arts had a history of being limited in that way as Noona had mentioned.

He was currently trying to change it.

‘It’s not easy.’

It was difficult to fight while being aware of that.

Moreover the problem was that the opponent was stronger than him.

‘I can’t believe he didn’t take any damage at all.’

No matter how much he thought about it he figured he would have taken some hits.

Goesun looked far too unscathed.

Just when Gu Yang-cheon was slightly surprised that Goesun seemed much stronger than expected

Conversely Goesun was feeling the same impression towards Gu Yang-cheon.

“… Is the Nine Clan a den of monsters?”

“Excuse me?”

“Not just the Nine Clan Head but you are even worse.”

“Do you know my father?”

“I don’t know him well. I’ve only seen him briefly.”

The image of the monster he had seen then overlapped with that of this kid.

The power of the technique he had just felt.

After barely avoiding the corrupted officials he felt the lingering tension and took a breath.

‘Finally.’

Finally he felt all the remaining emotions had been shaken off.

His mind shouted to see him as an equal martial artist

but in his heart he saw Gu Yang-cheon as a friend of his disciple as well as a younger junior.

All of that was washed away by the recent combination.

Goesun felt his heart settle calmly and relaxed his body.

Swoosh.

Goesun’s posture slightly loosened. Was he trying to stop? Just as Gu Yang-cheon tilted his head at that sight

Swoosh…

“…!”

A chill ran down Gu Yang-cheon’s spine and his eyes sharpened.

He felt something from Goesun.

Was that sincerity?

He felt a completely different presence from Goesun than before.

[That guy is the real deal.]

Noya’s voice became heated.

Unlike the old man who was excited Gu Yang-cheon had to drop his mouth corners.

‘This is crazy.’

It seemed he was really planning to fight properly.

Just seeing a fragment of his sincerity made it clear.

‘He’s strong.’

He realized that Goesun was strong. He had underestimated him thinking he was just a strange character fitting his alias.

Seeing that his thoughts changed immediately.

The author was the real deal.

He wasn’t sure how strong Goesun was but

‘At least he’s stronger than the current Sword King.’

He felt he would be stronger than the current Namgung Clan leader.

‘Where did such a person go during the Heavenly Demon War?’

Had he died or something?

He only knew that the Demon Sword Master had the brain.

He didn’t know about the circumstances of Goesun’s wife who had passed it on.

Wooong.

The energy that had been floating in the air disappeared.

Gu Yang-cheon was aware that it was a premonition.

Watching Goesun grip his sword Gu Yang-cheon thought to himself.

‘This won’t do.’

[Kid?]

”I’ll use ‘that.’ ”

Noya seemed surprised by Gu Yang-cheon’s words.

[… Are you sure?]

‘I don’t know about that… but if I don’t use it it will be a big problem.’

[…]

Noya seemed to agree with that as there was no response.

Accepting this as a positive

Gu Yang-cheon cautiously moved his hand.

At that moment Goesun spoke to Gu Yang-cheon.

“You must have realized but from now on it’s the real deal. Be careful.”

Gu Yang-cheon chuckled at Goesun’s words.

“How kind of you.”

“It’s just a tiny bit of guilt. It’s embarrassing to go this far for a junior.”

Goesun who showed no signs of hiding his displeasure

lightly moved his sword and took a step forward.

At that instant.

Bang.

“…!”

Goesun disappeared from Gu Yang-cheon’s sight.

As soon as he saw that Gu Yang-cheon tightened his heart. Qi burst forth.

He expelled qi based on his heart.

He immediately sent all that energy to his senses and spread it in all directions.

Once.

He only needed to catch him once.

With that thought Gu Yang-cheon poured out his senses to the very end.

At that moment Goesun was.

‘Sorry.’

He had already burrowed into Gu Yang-cheon’s left side.

A speed that Gu Yang-cheon couldn’t comprehend at his level.

Goesun intended to knock Gu Yang-cheon out with a strike.

He couldn’t heat up any more.

If he did it would become too sincere making it irreversible.

Even now he was already too heated so he really had to stop here.

Tap.

Goesun’s toes touched the ground.

Even then Gu Yang-cheon couldn’t detect Goesun. It meant the speed was beyond his perception.

He twisted his sword to expose his back.

Since he couldn’t ring the bell he changed his method.

This would cause a problem with speed but that much should be fine.

Just as he thought that and was about to swing his sword

At that moment Gu Yang-cheon’s eyes looked at Goesun.

‘What?’

Did he discover him?

Through this speed?

In that absurd situation Goesun was astonished.

‘You’re surprising me until the end.’

Truly until the end he showed an impossible possibility.

Still this was unavoidable.

Goesun swung his sword filled with all the astonishment he felt.

Whoooosh-!

The back of the sword shot towards Gu Yang-cheon at an incredible speed.

It was too late to react.

Goesun thought so but.

Clang-!

“…?”

A clear ringing sound.

What was that sound?

As he turned his eyes at the unexpected and unexplainable sound

“Uh…?”

The sound came from none other than Gu Yang-cheon

because Goesun’s sword was blocked by Gu Yang-cheon’s arm.

“What the….”

He was surprised to have confirmed Goesun at this speed.

But to think he even blocked it?

Moreover why did such a sound occur?

That clear sound could never be made by a sword and an arm colliding.

It was as if…. it was a sound that could only be made when iron struck iron hard.

As Goesun was filled with questions and was about to make a strange expression

another anomaly occurred.

Swoosh-!

“… What!?”

The bandage wrapped around Gu Yang-cheon’s left arm loosened slightly

and then quickly moved to bind Goesun’s sword.

Startled Goesun quickly tried to retract his sword but.

Tight-!

The bandage gripped Goesun’s sword tightly without even cutting it.

At that moment.

“I got you.”

Gu Yang-cheon’s voice was filled with laughter

and right after a blue orb similar to the one before approached Goesun’s chest.

“This crazy….”

With Goesun’s brief words

Boom-!”

The jade exploded.”
