Chapter 179: Gathering 1
Lee Neung-so was a man who reinterpreted combat at its most fundamental level. Empty and full were hidden within every movement. Baek Moo-jin was personally experiencing Lee Neung-so’s claim: no matter how much higher the kings’ martial prowess might be than his own, when they actually clashed, the odds were fifty-fifty.
Of course, that win rate wouldn’t apply to Baek Moo-jin.
Baek Moo-jin was observing and learning Lee Neung-so’s martial arts techniques while deliberately suppressing his own power.
This was a clash between a prodigy and a genius.
Yet Baek Moo-jin, the gifted talent, was smiling as he witnessed the martial world of Yi Neung-so, the eccentric genius, with his own eyes. Yi Neung-so was free. He seemed like a man who lived to kill. Baek Moo-jin, who had refrained from counterattacking until now, began launching attacks to observe further changes.
As the white flower branch extended from the left pillar and lunged at Lee Neung-so…
Lee Neung-so lowered his stance, then lay down diagonally, sliding across the floor. What martial art could possibly allow such a posture? He pushed his body forward with the left palm strike, then sprang up, thrusting his sword.
Clang!
Sparks flew as he unleashed a torrent of sword energy at close range, using the recoil to pull back again.
Even the Fist King, the Sword King, and Jin Sohye were marveling at Lee Neung-so’s martial prowess.
Baek Moo-jin realized that to truly defeat Lee Neung-so, he couldn’t rely on his superior martial power to overwhelm him from the start. Instead, he had to deceive Lee Neung-so.
