The World’s Best Childhood Friend Episode 739 (739/750)
Gulp.
“Coolook.”
Youngpung spitting blood from his nose and mouth.
It seemed like he was in so much shock that he couldn’t even come to his senses.
Moreover, the place it flew to was the edge of the stage.
What this means is that if the stage had not been renovated wider than it was during the main event, Youngpoong would have been eliminated.
‘this.’
I hit it hard without realizing it.
I didn’t intend to make it to that point with one blow. I just threw my fist without realizing it.
‘Why that countertop?’
An old man with no luck and no prospects.
I’ve only seen it properly once, but I threw my fist at it as soon as I saw its face.
By instinct?
‘what?’
I frowned at the roaring wind.
Now it looks exactly like Yeongpung.
It was as if the previous state had been a lie, and everything had returned to its original state.
Well then, what on earth happened just now?
‘I don’t think that was intentional.’
It is not the realm of illusion or magic.
It was said that Youngpoong did not do it on his own intention.
also.
‘There wasn’t much difference in the audience’s reaction either.’
If you saw the change just now, you couldn’t help but be amazed.
However, the audience was surprised to see Young-pung fall down, and seemed unaware of the situation just before.
That means.
‘I was the only one who saw it.’
It means that this phenomenon only happened to me.
‘Just now… that sight was Shin Noya’s face.’
The image I saw in the broken bowl. It is a memory that remains vivid and unforgettable.
What I saw from Youngpung was clearly Noya’s face.
How did this happen?
When I was thinking about a sudden situation over and over again.
“Phew… Hook… .”

Youngpoong was slowly getting up.
The bleeding has stopped. It looks like the bet stopped the bleeding.
He staggers up and reaches out his hand to Yeongpung.
Clang-! Shririk-!!
The sword that was suddenly dropped is quickly sucked into Youngpung’s hand and caught.
“Phew… .”
Immediately after, Youngpoong catches his breath and takes a stance.
In an instant, the scent of plum blossoms that had disappeared began to be felt again.
“I’m sorry… I was so excited that I couldn’t respond properly.”
It was strange to hear him say that with his nose and lips so swollen, but his eyes were serious.
“Thank you for taking the time to consider my situation.”
“…”
I nodded at those words.
I was a bit surprised that it flew a little too fast, but it was because Youngpung’s appearance was different from what I expected.
‘The damage is less than I thought.’
A fist raised in surprise.
Even if it wasn’t sincere, it was still quite strong.
But.
‘I blocked it with a strong force in the meantime.’
Just before I was about to be hit by the punch, Youngpung gathered his energy and blocked my attack.
The strong wind made of plum leaves absorbed the shock, and thanks to that, the Youngpung was able to rise up like that.
‘You’ve gotten stronger.’
It’s gotten considerably stronger since I last saw it.
Yeongpung was in a mess, unable to properly control his energy.
Because of that, he was on an equal or lower level in his fight with Seongyul.
…what it looks like now.
‘It just didn’t reach it. It’s no different from a flower arrangement.’
At least in terms of ‘momentum’ it is like that.
The unmanageable energy will soon become a seed.
It won’t be long before that seed sprouts.
but.
‘Is it truly yours?’
I wanted to ask Youngpoong.
‘Is the power you possess really your power?’
Heart pounding.
Advertisements
Heart pounding.
Every time Youngpung gains momentum.
Every time a plum leaf spouts out from him.
A faint, familiar scent brushed my nose, and my heart began to pound on its own.
The magic is quiet and the heat is calm.
Only the traces of Taoism that linked the two showed emotion.
It was a gift from an old man who had passed away.
The energy began to gradually waver.
resonance.
The energy of the fierce old man in my body is resonating with the energy of Yeongpung.
‘It’s annoying.’
This fucking feeling annoys me every time I feel it.
What makes me even more excited is…
‘Is it just me who feels this way?’
It seems that I am the only one who feels this resonance.
Shririk.
Youngpung swings his sword.
Plum leaves began to blow like a gust of wind around his sword.
Whatever my thoughts may be.
Youngpoong is currently focusing only on the non-combat.
Do you think you can beat me?
‘No way.’
Yeongpung would know that that is not the case.
Still, it is trying to come closer.
Youngpoong’s toes dance softly.
The sword recoils over the disheveled clothes.
Plum blossom sword dance.
A flower bud created by a volcano bloomed at the tip of a sword.
Shhhhhh-!!
Sharp energy is gathered in elegant swordsmanship.
Fast and sharp.
I took the step by putting strength into my feet.
Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!
Twist your upper body to dodge the sword.
The black one moved along an unexpected path and continued to dig into me.
Advertisements
‘Look at this?’
In the past, I had a thought while beating Yeongpung.
That’s because the sword is too straight.
An honest sword. An essential element for a swordsman, but useless if it is all that.
It’s just a sword that’s so honest.
‘You’ve changed your swordsmanship.’
A lot of empty promises.
A sword out of the box.
Meanwhile, the essence of the plum blossom sword dance is maintained.
I am amazed.
Shririk-!
As I dodge the sword, something catches my eye.
It’s not just one.
Dozens of offensives.
Each and every plum leaf attacked me with its own will.
If we look at the momentum alone, it could be considered as hundreds of sword techniques.
‘That’s really scary.’
Hurrruruk—!!
The rising flame burns every falling leaf.
It had to be burned without leaving anything behind.
‘It was like this back then too.’
The flower petals that Youngpung had shown had turned to ashes and withered away.
Is it different now than then?
Will he show something different as his swordsmanship has changed?
Thinking about this gave strength to my heart.
Whoosh whoosh-!!!
The ring of the Guyeonhwaryun Gong quickly turns. Then.
Hwaaaaak–!!!
Blue flames erupted from his body and swirled in all directions.
A person with inflammatory teeth.
It was the martial arts that had been harassing Yeongpung at that time.
So, how will it turn out?
At the moment when Youngpoong’s reaction was anticipated.
“… Hooooo… !”
Yeongpung looks at the flames and begins to boil over with energy as if he has made a resolution to something.
Advertisements
Then, the amount of flower petals floating in the air increases.
Jjajajak–!!
Youngpung swings his sword at an absurd speed.
The plum leaves were soaked in black smoke and were consumed by flames.
The flames flicker in a single strike.
Ten strikes will shatter the flame.
In an instant, it passed a hundred times.
‘That crazy guy.’
I swore at the dying flames.
‘I did something about it.’
It’s ridiculous. I thought he was going to show me something special, but he just swung his sword like crazy and blocked it.
‘under.’
I’m not disappointed. No, I’m glad.
I just realized it now. I used to like those ignorant guys.
bang-!
Before the flames could disappear, they trampled and dug into the ground.
Yeongpung didn’t stop his sword.
Rather, it speeds things up even more.
An absurd number of black energies poured down on me.
Should I avoid it?
I could have avoided it, but I didn’t.
Ki-ki-kik-!
I supported the ground with my feet and rotated my waist.
The upper body turns and blue flames seep into the fist.
A speed slightly slower than the speed of sound.
Inside it, the flames compressed and changed their shape through rotation.
Great Flame Jade.
It’s just a larger jade, but its destructive power increases in proportion to the amount of bet put into it.
He threw a giant marble at Yeongpung.
Kwak-kwak-!!
The black energy is swept away by the beads.
The vast amount of betting is mind-boggling. Should I avoid it and delve into it? Or should I try to block it?
I only considered two options.
chuck-!
Surprisingly, Youngpoong escaped from both of those options.
Advertisements
He stops swinging his sword and suddenly grabs the sword with both hands.
I wondered what he was going to do, but I quickly figured out his intentions.
Phew-!!
The energy boiling from Youngpung penetrates the blade.
I feel an eerie presence.
Plum blossoms fly and are cut down.
Choaaaak-!
The purple slash cut through the Great Flame Jade.
Kwaaaaahh …
The half-cut jade explodes, and heat spreads everywhere.
The flames obscure the view, but then.
Phew-!!
A blast of wind blew through the flames and into me.
Move your hand accordingly.
At that moment.
Ugh-!
“…!”
I felt a pain in my chest.
The wound that was healing has burst open again.
The wound opened and blood flowed.
‘Tsk.’
Because of this, the movement was slightly slowed down.
Pick-!
The sword of the wind tore through the palm of his hand.
Even though he was wearing a self-defense weapon, he was cut down by a fatal blow.
This is an absurd compression force.
The difference in skill level is so extreme, I never thought I could cut through this much strength with a sword.
How sharp was the energy created?
The surprise was short-lived, as Youngpung continued to rush forward without stopping, so I swung my injured hand.
“…!?”
Boo-ah!
As he swung the sword, blood spurted out from the torn wound.
This is because it stimulates the blood flow and increases the volume.
The spurted blood was directed at Youngpung’s face, obscuring his vision.
However, the fast-moving Youngpung dodged it without a hitch.
Advertisements
It doesn’t matter.
Because what was important was that split second.
As Youngpung moved, my foot was touching his ankle.
Bam-!
“Huh!?”
If you walk over it, the foundation will collapse.
I try to grab it right away, but of course, he won’t let it sit still.
He used his knee to stab Youngpung into his stomach.
thud-!!
“Ugh!”
The wind blows away, screaming.
It spewed out flames without stopping.
A firework hits Youngpung, who was flying in the sky.
Kwaaaaak–!
Cheongyeon began to support Yeongpung as if he was going to burn it, but his intention was not achieved.
It was because Yeongpung raised his sword and blocked it in that brief moment.
‘It’s good that the shock was blocked. What about the recoil?’
Even if you can stop yourself from being burned by flames, how are you going to stop yourself from being pushed through the air?
If I had stayed like that, I would have been pushed out of the stadium.
of course.
Even though I know that, I have no intention of stopping.
“… Ugh!”
Hwaruk-!!
The firepower never stops.
Looking at the wind with calm eyes, he instead made the flames burn even stronger.
How on earth should we deal with this?
Because I’m looking at you with a questioning look on my face.
Boom-!
In that moment, light burst out from Youngpung’s sword.
A purple light bursts out, and a small shock bursts out.
It felt like the energy was rubbed against me and exploded inside me.
“Huh!”
Youngpung bursts into laughter.
The fact that it exploded inside means that he could not avoid internal injuries.
But thanks to that, I managed to get a fingertip distance away from the flames.
Advertisements
Taking advantage of that tiny gap, Youngpung rotated his body in the air.
Whirilirik-!
Quickly return, avoiding the flames.
As I tried to distance myself, he came closer instead.
The eyes are not dead, and Youngpung’s sword still does not waver.
As we saw in the fight with Bong-soon, it was truly a growth that could not be anything other than upright.
There are definitely some parts that are a bit tricky, but… let’s put that aside.
‘I guess I’ll have to accept it for now.’
Let’s accept it first.
With that thought in mind, I changed my movements.
Thud-! He kicked the ground and ran towards Youngpoong.
Yeongpung’s eyes widen at the sudden attack, but the sword flies swiftly towards me.
Even though it seems difficult to avoid because it is empty space.
‘Sorry, but this is my specialty.’
He was quite an expert at aerial combat.
Exactly-!
He snapped his fingers and created sparks.
As the explosion spreads, the wind pressure explodes.
Shhh-!
I pushed my body away, dodging the sword and using the recoil to kick my feet.
Boom! Youngpung blocks it with his sword.
It’s okay. This is more of a push than an attack.
He put strength into his knees and pushed the sword hard.
Ppaang-!!
“Ugh!?”
The wind is pushed back because there is no ground to give strength to.
I put my palm back.
It immediately burst into flames.
Hwaak-!
When you set fire, your body flies away quickly.
He approached Youngpoong and threw a punch.
The surprised Yeongpung somehow manages to defend himself.
‘Immature.’
The force was weak and the movements made in the air had no weight.
It’s a given.
Advertisements
Where on earth would you have experienced aerial combat at that age?
He struck his fist like a blunt instrument.
Kwaaang–!!
“Khuuuk!”
Yeongpung, who failed to defend himself, fell to the ground.
It looks painful not being able to take the fall, but you can’t just stand there and do nothing.
Before I can even gather my wits, the wind moves.
I quickly got up and went to the spot where the guy had fallen.
Kwajik–!!
My toes fell off.
If it hadn’t happened, it would have been crushed.
A flash of light pours down.
Yeongpung’s sword dance still did not stop. Even though he had just almost died.
Although it feels like the speed has slowed down compared to the beginning, the momentum is still there.
He blocks the sword with his fist and throws it.
Defense and evasion.
There the attacks merged and an intense close combat began.
My eyes naturally frown.
The world seen through the mind’s eye was filled with the swords of Yeongpung.
Just looking at the bizarre sword and the numerous thorns gives me a headache.
‘This is driving me crazy.’
If you think you’ve avoided it, turn around and go to a strange place.
When you think you’ve blocked it, it digs in an inch further.
Is there a sword this free-spirited?
It is surprising that the sword of ‘that’ Youngpung was able to grow to this extent.
‘I’m going crazy.’
I couldn’t seem to maintain a normal attitude when facing the sword.
‘It’s familiar.’
Because the sword that Youngpung was currently using felt somehow familiar.
Maybe it was like that from the beginning.
From the moment I encountered the plum blossoms pouring down.
Up until now.
The reason why the Youngpung could have ended a long time ago but was not done and instead continued was the same.
I am.
I have seen this sword.
Advertisements
No, I’ve seen it before.
‘I’ve tried it.’
I have personally used that sword on my own body.
When Shin Noya borrowed my body, it was like the sword that the old man had used for a short time.
The flow of energy felt while practicing swordsmanship.
Even the movement of the tip of the sword gives a sense of that damn old man’s personality.
Even I, who knew nothing about swords, could tell.
‘This is.’
It is not simply the Plum Blossom Sword Technique of the Volcano Sect.
It is close to the Volcanic Sword Shin Noya’s sword.
Bam-!
The sword of the wind brushed against my cheek. My skin was cut.
It’s getting sharper and sharper.
Regardless of the realm, only one sword could be acknowledged.
but.
‘Is this sword you are wielding now truly yours?’
Twelve swords extended.
I avoided seven of them and received five with my body.
There was no choice.
It was something I had to do to get closer.
I approached him even though my body was injured. I grabbed Youngpoong by the collar again.
I was curious.
Thump-! Thump-!
This heartbeat that cries loudly.
The ear tied to the arm is trying to move for some reason.
Traces of Noya suddenly discovered in Seomseo and even one more remaining Guijeong.
Everything is questionable.
Whoosh whoosh.
Compress the flame and add an image.
In an instant, the castle was completed.
Young-poong, who saw that, moved his body to somehow counterattack.
They were so close that I couldn’t even properly fight back.
“What is this…? Prince Gu…?!”
Did you notice what I was trying to do?
Youngpoong’s reaction feels intense.
Advertisements
So close. You know what would happen if I unleashed this power here.
I opened my mouth calmly as I watched that wind blow.
“I think I’ve done enough.”
“…What is that.”
“I think it would be better to come out slowly.”
Actually, I’m talking to Yeongpung, but I’m not talking to him.
It was a word directed at someone beyond that, someone deeper than that.
“Old Confucius…?”
Yeongpung’s eyes tremble at the words he doesn’t understand.
It looks like I’m going crazy.
It didn’t matter. I knew the other person was listening anyway.
Still not coming out?
I held back a smile.
“Then let’s just die together.”
Phew-!
The moment I was about to burst the castle.
[this.]
I heard a voice in my ear.
[… What a symbol, you little bastard.]
spurt.
Saaaaah-!
My vision went black.
In the blurry vision, before I knew it, my body was in an unknown space.
Where is this place?
I didn’t panic unnecessarily.
This isn’t the first or second time I’ve experienced something like this.
Just as I was looking around with calm eyes.
[Tsk tsk…]
I turned my head at the familiar tongue-clicking sound.
In the distance, a low rock rose out of nowhere, out of place and out of place.
I saw someone sitting on top of it.
Slap.
As I walk, the ground rattles.
It was like walking on ink.
The sticky sensation felt unpleasant. I endured it and approached the person.
A figure wearing white uniform, unlike the black space.
The pure white hair and purple eyes are impressive.
Despite his tall stature, he is a bit skinny.
Advertisements
The way he looks down with his chin propped up on his long fingers really suits him.
They walked slowly towards the rock and looked each other in the eye.
[Hmm.]
“hmm.”
He spoke while quietly looking at the familiar face of an old man.
“Wow, Noya, you really are unlucky.”
[That guy really looks like he’s got no shame.]
These were the words spoken at the same time.
