Kang Sogun Chapter 94

'You are not qualified to be one of the ten great masters.'

The reason Gu Yeongang had suddenly used a desperate killing move as his last form was because of his own unconscious rebellious spirit against Kang Sogun's words.

It was surprising that a master like him had such a sense of inferiority.

But although he was the master of one of the Four Great Powers of the world, who was revered by all, he was ranked fifth among the ten great masters.

For him, who had an extrely strong pride, it was a ranking that he could not accept at all. But that was not sothing that would change just because he did sothing.

How could he change the evaluation of the world?

Although he had said in front of the Prince of Han that his rivals were only three, he could not overturn the public's evaluation by doing so.

In the end, it was sothing that was possible only if he defeated his higher-ranked rivals.

He was looking forward to eting the number one of the ten great masters, the Flying Heavenly Sword.

He was living for the day when he would stand tall in the world as both a force and a martial artist by defeating Shangguan Wuying, the Flying Heavenly Sword, after unifying the world.

But Kang Sogun had said that he was not even qualified to be one of the ten great masters.

Although Kang Sogun's martial arts were not simple, it was difficult to dismiss it as the incitent tactic of a young man who knew nothing.

'Has that bastard ever fought with one of the ten great masters?'

The thought that had flashed through his mind for a short ti had finally made him draw out his true ultimate technique.

Gu Yeongang's sword contained the internal energy he had trained for decades.

The sword and Gu Yeongang were also connected by an invisible thread of internal energy.

The mont the opponent dodged, it would explode and the condensed internal energy contained in the sword would not even leave a corpse.

What Gu Yeongang regretted was that, although it was the art of controlling the sword with qi, he had just entered it and could not yet freely roam the air.

The level he could do now was to send the internal energy contained in the sword and to control it.

But there would be few in the world who could block this one form.

The sa went for this arrogant young man in front of him.

Gu Yeongang thought so.

Although he had regretted it for a mont after he had sent out his sword, there were many sches to deal with the Prince of Han anyway.

'Arrogant pup! This is the price for wagging your tongue carelessly.'

Gu Yeongang held a grudge more for being insulted than for his son being killed.

Everyone held their breath.

In fact, the ti it took for the sword that had left Gu Yeongang's hand to reach Kang Sogun was very short.

Although the sword seed to be going slowly, it was still faster than a person.

Kang Sogun, seeing Gu Yeongang's sword, took a long step back, lowered his body, and then thrust the tip of his spear into the ground.

-Thud!

Kang Sogun lifted a pebble with the blade of his spear.

It was just a light stone.

Nevertheless, Kang Sogun's entire body trembled as if he were lifting a rock.

The spear shaft bent like a fishing rod that had caught a large fish.

If anyone had seen it, it would have seed as if a weight of a thousand pounds was loaded on one stone.

Kang Sogun's temples bulged, and the muscles in his arms swelled as if they would burst.

-Thump!

At so point, Kang Sogun flicked the pebble that he had been slowly lifting.

The pebble soared slowly as if it were riding a cloud.

Surprisingly, Gu Yeongang's sword accurately collided with the pebble.

-Boom!

As the sword and the pebble collided, a flash of light shone, and with a thunderous roar, a trendous qi wave scattered in all directions.

Even those who were watching from the tent had to wave their hands to block the qi wave.

The qi wave, as if a firecracker had exploded, spread out in all directions. The sand and pebbles of the riverbank flew in all directions.

After a mont.

The sandstorm disappeared, and the figures of Gu Yeongang, who was staring blankly at his sword that had fallen to the ground, and Kang Sogun, who was standing resolutely with his spear held at an angle, were revealed.

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Even the Prince of Han just frowned and glared at the two.

"The three forms are over."

Kang Sogun said calmly.

Gu Yeongang suddenly ca to his senses.

'To put a thousand pounds of skill into one pebble?'

Of course, the skill contained in the pebble was no match for the skill contained in his sword.

Gu Yeongang had put ten thousand pounds of skill into his sword.

If they had been equal, Gu Yeongang's sword would have also been broken.

But although it was difficult to break the sword with the skill contained in the pebble, it was enough to make the ten thousand pounds of skill contained in it explode.

It was about a thousand pounds of skill.

It was truly an ingenious move.

He had blocked a sword containing ten thousand pounds of skill by floating a single pebble in the air.

If he had struck the sword with his spear, the contest of strength would have exploded at that mont and would have flowed through the spear shaft, battering Kang Sogun's entire body.

Gu Yeongang felt a strong urge to kill.

The thought that if he did not kill Kang Sogun in this place now, he might block his path soday flashed through his mind.

At the sa ti, he regretted having arranged this eting.

If it weren't for the Prince of Han or his subordinates, he would have been able to kill Kang Sogun with all his strength.

But he was the Heavenly Martial Faction Master of the Four Great Powers of the world. He could not go back on the words he had spat out in front of many people.

Kang Sogun knew that Gu Yeongang's mind had already been broken.

Kang Sogun turned his body and went towards the ferry.

"Stop."

The Prince of Han stood up and ca out of the tent.

"For you to just leave without even showing respect to your elders. You are truly insolent."

Kang Sogun glanced at the Prince of Han and then got on the ferry without a word.

"That arrogant bastard!"

One of the generals next to the Prince of Han was excited.

"I will go and catch him."

He said to the Prince of Han and then ran.

"You are arrogant because you have a little skill!"

Sotis there are people who cannot gauge the difference in skill even after seeing it with their own eyes.

This general was like that.

He did not understand the subtlety of internal energy and saw that Kang Sogun had blocked Gu Yeongang's sword with a trick.

He did not think highly of Gu Yeongang's sword itself from the start.

He had run out with the thought that since he was a trusted subordinate of the Prince of Han and his master's face had been lost, he should naturally step up.

When the general had run out and had reached the ferry, he had floated his large body in the air with a trendous battle cry.

"Kneel before His Highness the Prince right away!"

The general brought down his great saber, and it was so fast that it could not even be seen.

He had stepped up, believing that he had a move.

Kang Sogun extended his spear in succession from the ferry.

-Clang! Clang! Clang!

The bow of the boat where Kang Sogun was standing went down as if it would be plunged into the river.

The general brought down three sabers in succession, and Kang Sogun received and raised them one by one.

The general could not get on the ferry because of Kang Sogun's three spears. He flipped his body in the air and went over the ferry.

-Splash!

The general fell into the river up to his waist.

Next to him, Kang Sogun's ferry slid forward.

Kang Sogun stood at the bow of the ferry and looked down at the general, then turned his gaze and looked at the Prince of Han.

"No!"

The Prince of Han shouted without realizing it.

-Thwack!

Kang Sogun's spear drew a semicircular trajectory.

In the middle, the general's head was caught.

The general's head flew high into the sky and fell at the Prince of Han's feet.

"That bastard!"

The Prince of Han was extrely angry and shouted.

Kang Sogun had cut off the head of his beloved general in front of the Prince of Han.

Although the other generals rushed out, Kang Sogun's ferry was already going down the river.

***

-Swish!

Wi Eunghwan's dagger flew. It did not fly in a straight line, but curved at an angle.

"Kuh!"

The man who seed to be the team leader of the Demon Suppression Brigade was on guard, but he could not completely avoid it and received it with his shoulder.

"I'm fine! Don't break the encirclent!"

The team leader pulled out the dagger and urged his martial artists.

The enemy was initially about five or six, but in an instant, they had grown to about twenty.

Gu Yangsu's words were right. The eyes of the Heavenly Martial Faction were spread all over the Yangtze River.

The mbers of the Demon Suppression Brigade were well-trained martial artists.

As if they already knew the skills of Jang Mugang's party, they did not co close and just surrounded them.

If they tried to break through, they would join forces and stop them.

Whistles sounded continuously, and even Heavenly Martial Faction mbers who were not from the Demon Suppression Brigade were rushing in.

The Heavenly Martial Faction mbers supported the back of the Demon Suppression Brigade and built up the encirclent even more thickly.

It was clear that they were waiting for a master.

Jang Mugang observed the situation.

The Demon Suppression Brigade knew that Jang Mugang's party wanted to cross the river.

The number of people blocking the river side was twice as many.

Even if they broke through, it seed they would not be able to get a boat.

'I think we have to retreat for now.'

Although the party was five, they were all masters.

Although the Demon Suppression Brigade was an elite military force of the Heavenly Martial Faction, it was not that difficult to get out.

The Three Tigers of Shandong had regained their practical sense by fighting fierce battles for the past few months.

Jungrang and Yeon Hwasim had also achieved a level of accomplishnt that the expression "remarkable growth" was not enough to describe.

Although the enemies were desperately blocking the way to the river, the back was relatively lax.

It seed they were going to block them from crossing the river and then form a pursuit team and slowly tighten the noose.

-Whistle!

A sound ca from afar.

It seed that the Demon Suppression Brigade Commander or a master of comparable level was coming.

"Retreat for now!"

Jang Mugang shouted.

Sim Mabaek put his spear forward and broke through the path.

Behind him, Jungrang and Yeon Hwasim blocked the flanks, and Jang Mugang and Wi Eunghwan took the rear.

The rushing enemies could not co close to Wi Eunghwan's hidden weapon art.

Jang Mugang calmly judged the situation from the rear and took the path.

As Sim Mabaek galloped, swinging his spear like a storm, the distance with the Demon Suppression Brigade gradually widened.

The Demon Suppression Brigade seed to have chosen pursuit rather than annihilation and followed at a certain distance.

Jang Mugang was rather more bothered by that.

As expected.

Sim Mabaek stopped.

The main road ahead was blocked.

The ones on dozens of horses were sturdy n in brown martial arts uniforms.

The forearms revealed on their sturdy physiques were shining with a copper color. The character "Ma" was written on the chest of their brown martial arts uniforms.

"It's the Ma family."

Jang Mugang, who rembered Gu Yangsu's hint, recognized the identity of the ones blocking the main road.

As the Ma family discovered Jang Mugang's party, they rushed in madly.

A woman and two people ran alongside each other at the head. It was clear that they were Mrs. Ma and the masters of the Ma family.

'Not good.'

The Ma family was blocking the front, and the Demon Suppression Brigade was chasing from behind.

"It seems that bastard Gu Yangsu wasn't talking nonsense."

Sim Mabaek said, looking at Jang Mugang.

"That's right."

Jang Mugang suddenly asked Yeon Hwasim.

"Miss Yeon, do you know what the best military strategy on the battlefield is?"

"Yes?"

Yeon Hwasim asked back, as he had asked out of the blue in this situation.

"Have you heard of the thirty-sixth stratagem, running away?"

Yeon Hwasim smiled.

There were enemies in front and behind, the right was a field, and the left was a low mountain. Beyond that mountain, low mountains continued to spread out.

"We have to go that way, right?"

"That's right, let's go."

Jang Mugang's party abandoned the main road and went up the low mountain.

When they had gone up to about the middle of the mountain, the Ma family and the Demon Suppression Brigade had arrived below.

The enemies imdiately pursued and ca up.

"This way!"

Sim Mabaek took the lead.

Sim Mabaek had been through all the hardships of the battlefield. He knew well how to climb a low mountain to avoid the enemy's eyes, and sotis to ambush and to strike the chasing enemy.

Sim Mabaek went around the mountain along the seventh ridge.

Although it was a low mountain without large trees, it was difficult for the enemies to find the whereabouts of Jang Mugang's party.

A person who was skilled in tracking among the mbers of the Demon Suppression Brigade found a trace and chased, but it was slow.

Before he knew it, darkness was falling.

"That bitch must be found. I have to kill her myself!"

Only the shrill voice of a middle-aged woman echoed in the low mountain.
