Chapter 72. Cho Ryu Hyang’s Trump Card
ED: Chrysanthemum
Pain is a relative thing.
Just like how everyone in the world has a different amount of patience, the amount of pain tolerance everyone has is also different. There is no set amount of pain that everyone can tolerate.
‘The world is unfair.’
Cho Ryu Hyang stood up and thought of a single sentence he read from the Moon Edge Blade Technique. Yes, the sentence was correct.
The world was unfair. Most people die when they allow even a single hit on themselves from a Harmonious expert. They died without even being given the time to feel pain.
Crack–
Cho Ryu Hyang straightened his back once and smiled.
‘But the Moon Edge Blade Technique isn’t normal.’
Ak Jung Pae.
Cho Ryu Hyang could just see how great this man was now. What Cho Ryu Hyang used just now was the technique that came right after Ryun.
‘Jia (鉀: Armor)’
According to its description, the technique turns his body into something that resembles an armor.
The Moon Edge Blade Technique was something that changed the balance of the entire world in the past. That’s why Cho Ryu Hyang had high expectations for it. He believed that he’d be able to take the attack of a Harmonious expert without even feeling a thing.
But when he took a hit from No Jin Nyung.
‘Mm?’
Cho Ryu Hyang realized that something was terribly wrong. His body was going through intense pain; it was enough to prevent him from even thinking anything.
He couldn’t even scream under the pain that seemed to squeeze all his muscles into tiny pieces.
‘I thought I’d die.’
Right. He genuinely thought he’d die here, but he didn’t. The pain was soon masked by a strange new ‘feeling’ he never felt before.
(TL: Hm, so Cho Ryu Hyang’s an M….)
Cho Ryu Hyang smiled faintly as he touched his glasses.
‘I’ll have to try it one more time.’
He wanted to know more about the strange feeling he felt just a moment ago. When he thought this much, he hesitated a bit.
He realized that in order to confirm what that feeling was, he’d have to take on that terrifying blow again.
Cho Ryu Hyang became very concerned. The pain he just felt now wasn’t something he could ever be able to endure.
A cold sweat ran down his back. Wasn’t that pain something he never wanted to experience ever again?
‘There’s no choice.’
Right. No Jin Nyung was already looking at him with a focused face. It was too late to even try to dodge his attack.
Cho Ryu Hyang looked around with a bitter face. He memorized his surroundings as fast as he could and organized his thoughts.
‘At least one hit.’
No matter how much he wanted to dodge, he had to take a hit. He had to endure that terrible pain.
‘But as long as I don’t faint, I’ll win.’
It was just one hit. One hit and he would win. Cho Ryu Hyang bit his lips and steeled his heart.
At that point, No Jin Nyung was thinking something similar to Cho Ryu Hyang.
‘I’ll end this in one hit.’
This would be the simplest way to do it. It wasn’t hard. He regretted the fact that he might kill the child, but he couldn’t afford to restrain himself.
He was going to go all out. No Jin Nyung took a deep breath. Then, a clear black energy began to flow from his body.
It was a heavy yet arrogant energy. It had a presence that seemed to suppress everything around it.
Kugugugu–!
The ground shook faintly. Un Hui got confused for a second when he saw it, he suddenly shouted out in surprise.
“Could that be the Heavenly Demon Technique (天魔神功)?”
No Jin Nyung looked towards Un Hui and blinked several times. He was surprised that Un Hui recognized his technique. Un Hui, who realized what No Jin Nyung was thinking, beame worried.
The Heavenly Dmeon Technique was practiced by the first Pope of the church, the Heavenly Demon Hong Sunwon.
The technique that was said to have been created by that man was the Heavenly Demon Technique. As this was the technique that allowed the man to change the world itself, it was definitely the greatest technique seen so far in the world.
‘But it’s incomplete…….’
The complete Heavenly Demon Technique did not exist. It was because the Pope that came after Hong Sunwon failed to take in the technique completely.
There was no one who managed to complete the technique after the Heavenly Demon himself. Every one of the Popes in the past tried, but they failed to do so.
The Shura Environment, the technique that many of the Popes used, was the technique derived from the destructive aspect of the Heavenly Demon Technique.
The Heavenly Demon Technique passed down at present day was just a fraction of the whole. But that man managed to become a Harmonious expert with an incomplete technique.
‘This is dangerous.’
He had to stop them. Countless warnings were going on in his head. Because of this, he had to stop himself from moving multiple times, but he could only watch Cho Ryu Hyang as he ground his teeth.
‘Shit.’
Cho Ryu Hyang was currently trembling violently as he looked at No Jin Nyung’s oppressive force, but not once did he stray his eyes away from his enemy.
He was just staring at No Jin Nyung quietly.
‘He’s aiming for something.’
Un Hui was very concerned. He could only save the heir if he acted now. This definitely wasn’t something that Cho Ryu Hyang could take on alone.
Even an incomplete technique unleashed by a Harmonious expert would be incredibly powerful. No, since it was an incomplete technique, Un Hui was unsure how much power it would contain.
Right then, No Jin Nyung gathered all the energy he was emitting into his leg. At the same time.
Kuum–!
No Jin Nyung stepped on the ground with great force. The force he exerted on the ground was so great, that the ground started to crack apart like turtle shells.
Krrr–!
As Cho Ryu Hyang tried to regain balance from the shockwaves in the ground, No Jin Nyung made his move. Un Hui, who saw this, became extremely nervous.
It still wasn’t too late to save Cho Ryu Hyang. This was his final chance. He had to make a choice here.
But in the end, he couldn’t move. He just could look at Cho Ryu Hyang with his fists clenched tightly enough to bleed.
‘What is this feeling?’
Un Hui couldn’t come back to his senses due to a strange feeling he was experiencing. This was a matter he shouldn’t even hesitate about.
As a bodyguard who puts his master’s life before his own, he should quickly go out and sort out the matter in front of him. But he couldn’t.
Why? Un Hui, who couldn’t figure out what that feeling was, suddenly frowned.
‘This is…….’
