Chapter 375: A Man Running Through the Night
There’s an unspoken rule in a duel with Big Brother: not to hurt each other seriously. That’s why we had to adjust the strength of our internal energy, and pause during the fight to exchange words.
Anyway, with just the power of the Wooden Dummy Art, I couldn’t face Big Brother.
As Big Brother and I were facing off, the laborers dropped their work and ran out to watch us. Since watching a fight is an instinct one can’t help, I let them be.
Big Brother showed entirely offense-oriented movements with the Dokgo Heavy Sword in the lead, but unfortunately, I also knew the essence of the Dokgo Heavy Sword. I could predict most of the attacks and variations without much difficulty. That didn’t mean I could easily find a gap in Big Brother’s defenses. In the end, we gradually raised our internal energy to the point the wooden swords could no longer endure.
Just as many times as our swords clashed, Big Brother and I exchanged glances. It felt as if we could understand each other without even speaking.
‘Just a bit more...’
After confirming each other's gaze, we drew out more energy. Now that fighting spirit was manifesting from Big Brother’s body, his breathing grew fierce, and I too entered a combative state and swung my wooden sword.
Whether the duel would end first,
or the wooden swords would break first—it was hard to say...
Right at that uncertain moment, Big Brother’s sword path, which had been attacking my shoulder, suddenly curved sharply and fell toward the right side of my neck.
At the same time, I thrust my wooden sword into Big Brother’s chest and struck Big Brother’s wooden sword precisely with the Middle Finger Flick Technique using my left hand.
Pak!
