The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 102 : Feeling the Waves (9)

Eun Ga-yeong thought that if she couldn't cut it, she could just deflect it. So, among the martial arts she could use, she brought out the most appropriate one to deflect the opponent's attack.

That was the Wisdom Sword of the Wudang Sect.

The intention was perfectly met.

But that was a trap intended by the opponent.

The way to counter the opponent's attack... was not to deflect it. It was to cut it.

When she put strength into her right arm, she felt immense pain and a loss of strength from her broken collarbone.

"Can you even hold a sword with that body?"

The balance of left and right was distorted. This was not a problem that could be solved immediately by doing something physically. At this point, it was almost impossible to regain balance anew.

Eun Ga-yeong took off her top and tore it long. And she fixed her right arm so that it wouldn't move at all.

By completely fixing her right arm, she regained her balance by finding a new center of gravity for her body, which kept losing its balance every time she moved due to her broken collarbone.

In a way, this was an amazing improvisation, but in another way...

"Foolish. For a swordsman to make the decision to abandon one arm."

It was good to call it the worst move.

Because this was also nothing more than an improvisation.

Eun Ga-yeong silently took a deep breath and focused.

She adjusted her senses to her new body as much as possible.

"Hehehe. Where did the leisure from before go?"

To make matters worse, a new phrase had appeared in the eyes of the Sea-Faced Demon, Seo Yu-seong.

The character for 'firm'.

He was looking at Eun Ga-yeong with a sneer.

"It would be very interesting to see what you would do if I cut your other collarbone too!"

In his left eye, the character for 'bite'.

In his right eye, the character for 'firm'.

He was a fugitive.

He had been running away his whole life. But that didn't mean his life was not upright.

Just as Eun Ga-yeong had chosen the worst as the best.

He, too, had no choice but to do so to escape that situation, to move forward.

Someone might point a finger at him and call him a fugitive, but Seo Yu-seong was proud.

Therefore, he was still looking at the next.

To take revenge on the world that had pointed a finger at him without knowing anything.

The world Seo Yu-seong saw was made up of countless grains.

Those grains gathered to become clouds, land, and people.

That grain was also in Eun Ga-yeong.

It was telling him where and how to cut to cut well.

Seo Yu-seong was not satisfied with this and created his own way of using the grain.

The crystallization of that was the weapon he had made himself, called the Shattering Sickle, a sickle made by twisting several strands of Heavenly Silkworm Thread.

"You're probably thinking of cutting my attack now."

Most of the people he had fought had reached this point.

If you don't cut, you'll eventually be hit. This was a fact that anyone could know once they had experienced it.

"But do you think you can cut it?"

There was only one thing he had realized about the grain.

That the grain was like a double-edged sword.

If you cut along the grain, it cuts well. In other words, the opponent could also produce the same result as him if they followed the grain.

In the past, there was actually such a being. He had swung his sword in the same way as him and had thrust his sword into his grain.

It was a simple duel, but Seo Yu-seong, who had felt a momentary danger, had used a killing move and killed the opponent.

That was what had happened in the Green Forest.

After this incident, Seo Yu-seong had created his own method that no one could cut.

The first of which was the Shattering Sickle.

Grain is another word for cohesive force.

What would happen if that cohesive force could be increased indefinitely?

A shield that would not be broken by anything would be born, and a weapon that could cut anything would be born.

He obtained iron weighing a hundred pounds and melted it in fire.

And he hammered it countless times, spreading it wide and folding it. And so, a single grain was created. Again, he melted that iron and folded it in the opposite direction of the created grain, hammering and spreading it. Two crossed grains were created. Again, he melted that iron and folded it in a different direction from the previous two grains. He created a third grain.

He repeated this process a total of ten thousand times.

And what was created was the Shattering Sickle, known as one of the ten great treasured weapons of the martial world.

A weapon made by simply folding steel countless times and weaving the grains together.

It was a sickle that would not be broken by anything and could cut anything.

The Heavenly Silkworm Thread was also made in the same way and connected to the sickle.

With just these two, he no longer had to be afraid.

Not the Green Forest, not the local tyrants!

"All the bastards who came to kill me had the same eyes as you!"

A gaze that was only proud of itself.

On the other hand, a gaze of contempt, as if looking at trash, when looking at Seo Yu-seong.

Guys who had nothing special!

He killed all those who sent him such gazes.

And in the end, he was the one who survived.

"Today, I will kill you, and I will go to a higher place!"

Seo Yu-seong grabbed the line of the Heavenly Silkworm Thread and spun the sickle. The sickle rotates. The speed gradually increases. Soon, a sound like a mosquito buzzing right next to his ear was heard.

Crack!

When the sickle hit the ground, the stone ground was sharply cut. Seo Yu-seong's eyes were still chasing the grain that led to Eun Ga-yeong. He let go of the Heavenly Silkworm Thread he was spinning.

The sickle flew towards Eun Ga-yeong, following the grain.

Its speed was so fast that the ground was dug in a straight line where the sickle had passed.

Seo Yu-seong threw the second sickle as well. It moved towards Eun Ga-yeong, following a new grain.

The two grains meet in the middle and cross each other. And the grain and the grain meet, creating a third grain that only he can see.

His own path, obtained after hammering iron countless times.

"Die!"

Seo Yu-seong grabbed the Heavenly Silkworm Thread and pulled it with all his might.

The course of the sickle changes. A fourth grain is newly born. Doubt enters the opponent's clear eyes. Soon, the pupils tremble. She cannot read the course properly. The opponent loses her breath. As a result, she cannot exert her full strength.

In Seo Yu-seong's eyes, a fifth grain was being born again.

Even if this attack was blocked, there would be a sixth, and if that was blocked, a seventh, and then an eighth, and if that was also blocked, then the next, and countless cases of the grain were drawn in his mind.

At this moment, he felt an elation as if he was about to grasp something.

He was certain.

If he killed that woman, he would no longer have to run away.

The face of the arrogant Green Forest King was drawn in his eyes.

He was moving towards the next.

***

She knew she had to cut.

She also knew that she couldn't escape the opponent's attack otherwise.

But she couldn't see the way.

How should I cut that hard thing?

The opponent had already started his attack and was approaching her. Her breath was momentarily disrupted by the attack of a kind she had never seen before.

Eun Ga-yeong raised her sword.

Am I going to die like this?

This was also the result of her own choice.

Choices come with responsibilities.

If she hadn't come to this place, she wouldn't have had to experience today's events.

Does she regret that decision?

Eun Ga-yeong shook her head.

The first decision she had made, the action, and the result had given her a smile for the first time in the world.

"That's dangerous! Dodge it!"

His voice was heard. His face, worried about her, was visible. For some reason, her heart felt fluffy.

She was curious about what would come next.

Perhaps she would know if she observed him.

She was certain that from the next time, she would observe him not from afar, but up close.

So that she could see more clearly.

Eun Ga-yeong didn't want to die now.

So she had to find a way to get through this situation.

The Heavenly Martial Body was said to be the best body for learning the martial arts given by heaven.

She recalls the things she has learned so far.

The Heavenly Emperor had compiled all the martial arts of the Orthodox Faction in Eun Ga-yeong's body.

This was a method that no one else could do, but it was an impossible method that was possible because Eun Ga-yeong was a Heavenly Martial Body.

Countless martial arts flashed through her mind.

At one phrase, she broke the chain of thought and focused.

It was a word that the Heavenly Emperor had said as if he were just passing by.

-Do you know what to do when you have to cut something that cannot be cut? It's simple. Sharpen and sharpen. The sword, if the sword doesn't work, the arm, if the arm doesn't work, the leg, if the leg doesn't work, the breath, if the breath doesn't work, the eyes, if the eyes don't work, the joints, everything you have as a person! For only one purpose. Then there is nothing in this world that cannot be cut. To become one with the sword. That is the true unity of sword and self.

A change began to occur in Eun Ga-yeong's pupils.

***

While fighting the Blood-Faced Demon, I read an unusual movement of energy from the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's side.

Looking there, the guy with the sickle was performing a strange attack.

At first, it was an attack with a single trajectory, but the trajectory became entangled with the second sickle. Then a new trajectory was created. After that, although it had not yet been born into the world, countless trajectories that could come out into the world at any time if they wanted to were dazzling my eyes.

The moment I saw it, my instincts realized. That attack was dangerous.

Even if I were in the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's position, I couldn't think of a way to counter that attack.

Just then, a new kind of qi flow, one I had never seen before, arose from the Rakshasa Divine Maiden.

The Blood-Faced Demon, who was watching it, suddenly stopped fighting and let out an exclamation of admiration.

"Hoo! Amazing."

He grinned and looked at me arrogantly, then asked out of the blue.

"Do you know that there are realms even in the Profound Realm?"

"..."

I couldn't answer. It was something I hadn't expected.

If it's the Profound Realm, it's the Profound Realm, is there something more? Usually, isn't the Profound Realm the end of martial arts?

At that moment, the Heavenly Demon came to mind.

The scene where he, although in the same Profound Realm, had put the Blood Demon, the Divine Monk, and the Sura Cult Lord under his feet.

"Watch carefully. The process of gaining enlightenment is more valuable than anything else."

The Blood-Faced Demon was now completely ignoring me and was watching the fight between the two with his arms crossed.

That appearance was like...

"Then, do you know?"

It was as if I was not even in his sight. And he seemed to know the answer to the question he had just asked.

Just then, the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's sword began to move.

The sword path was as ordinary as it could be.

A simple cut from top to bottom.

But strangely, I couldn't take my eyes off it.

I could instinctively tell that that was on a different level from any martial art I had seen so far. But I couldn't tell exactly what it was.

In the Rakshasa Divine Maiden's pupils, a new phrase was added to the existing 'full'.

'Heart'.

Heart.

Slice!

The Rakshasa Divine Maiden's sword was pointing downwards.

Crack!

The Sea-Faced Demon's body was splitting in half along with the sickle.

The Blood-Faced Demon said.

"That is the realm of imbuing will, the Profound Will."
