The Teacher’s Grace Is Like Heaven

33 – Hebei, the First (3)

Time without my Master is like night. I can’t see a thing, and the darkness shrouds my eyes. Honestly, I want to go back.

I want to go back to you now and hold you in my arms, but I can’t. It’s my karma. It’s my karma, so I had to do it.

As she comforted herself, Bi Yan opened her closed eyes. She was now in the plaza of the mansion where the martial artists of Hebei Feng Street trained their martial arts.

This was the place where the martial artists gathered every morning to train, and it was also the stage where they entertained guests and held events.

There, Bi Yan was waiting for him. The second son of the Hebei Fang family, the martial artist called the Tiger of Hebei. Of course, the others were not idle.

At first, they tried to talk her down, but when she wouldn’t listen, they used their strength to drag her away, and in the end, she was beaten and knocked down.

Still, it wasn’t a bad try, he thought. And finally, she opened her closed eyes. She felt a strong momentum in the distance.

First of all, he was huge. His height seemed to be somewhere between seven and eight meters. His limbs were thick with muscles like a horse’s.

Add to that the sword scar over one eye and the dirty hair down to his waist, and you have a man who looked more like a ghost than a man.

And finally, he stood before her, his eyes blazing with anger. Believe it or not, she frowned and said, “I’m not going to tell you.

“You don’t even greet me?”

“After sending such a letter, you expect courtesy?”

From noble mtl dot com

“No, not at all.”

“Then we’ll talk quickly.”

The second son of the Hebei Fang family, Fang Daiqing, immediately pulled out what was strapped to the back of his waist. It was a huge sword.

The handprints on the handle and the sharpened blade were a testament to how much the sword had been pampered by its owner.

Thinking that this was the first proper martial artist he had seen in a while, Bi Yan drew his sword as well.

“Hey, what’s going on all of a sudden?!”

“Leave Sojourner out of this. This is between me and him.”

“Don’t interfere. You’ll get hurt.”

“Now, wait… ……?!”

The sight of the two men, so frightening to behold, sparring with each other, made Jie Galhee turn her head in alarm. There was only one person who could stop them.

So, she tried to ask him to stop the fight. However, she soon became panicked.

He must have followed her halfway out, so when did she disappear? But her thoughts were shattered by a tremendous roar.

The first to strike was Pangdae-chul. His rage-fueled sword poured into Bi Yan like a flash of light.

“?!”

However, she was momentarily taken aback. The blow was far more powerful than she had anticipated, and she fell to one knee. A force impossible to resist.

He was as overwhelming as an ox. Even more frightening, he wielded the sword with one hand, meaning his other hand was empty.

Teng didn’t let this advantage go to waste. With his completely empty hand, he clenched his fist tightly and swung it as hard as he could toward Bi Yan’s abdomen. Despite using a self-defense technique that utilized internal force, there was damage.

Ignoring the blood flowing from her mouth, Bi Yan raised her head. Pang Dae Chul didn’t stand still; he pounced on her like a raging tiger, unrelenting.

We can’t win in a head-to-head fight. With that judgment, Bi Yan thoroughly avoided a head-to-head confrontation with T’ang Daechul.

‘He’s a seasoned fighter. It’s as if I’m dealing with an old man who’s been through the wringer.’

Fang Daiqing’s anger was boiling over, but it hadn’t completely taken over his mind. He calmly assessed Bi Yan.

At first, I thought he was just a mouthy kid, but he’s quick on his feet. His sword training is also quite deep, especially his reaction time, which is faster than I imagined.

I realized that I shouldn’t go head-to-head in the first match, so I switched my approach. He suppressed his pride and took a different path to victory.

A good muay thai will take pride in the martial arts they’ve mastered, which is why most won’t admit it when they’re outmatched.

This man, however, is different. Rather than being a mountain-building martial artist, Mu Mu is much more of a pragmatic killer.

“Damn, this is unexpected.”

Meanwhile, Bi Yan was also quite puzzled inwardly. In her previous life, as a Heavenly Demon, she had personally killed some of the greatest masters in the Martial Realm, known as the Elders, with her own hands.

Of course, there were the occasional powerhouses that brought a smile to her face, but for the most part, they were nothing more than puppets, nothing that dared to match their star power or fame.

The man before him, however, was the real deal. He was probably halfway through his contract, but he was still quite capable.

Of course, his strength itself was far from peak. At best, he was a first-rate beginner, but he had accumulated enough martial arts to make it impossible to ignore.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve met a proper martial artist.”

“That goes for me as well.”

Cutting off his words coldly, Teng Qingshan drew on the internal power in his dagger. A grayish-black energy rose from the hilt of his sword.

A first-rate master can use sword energy freely. Although he was only a first-rate novice, the martial power he had accumulated was unimaginably strong.

Bi Yan looked at his hands wordlessly. She could see a cold sweat running down them. This feeling, it’s just like back then. In the past, when she clashed with the apprentice.

The tiger’s ferocity was completely outmatched. Bi Yan stuck out her tongue. No matter how I look at it, I think Soga Ju looks much better this way…….

“Can you afford to be distracted?”

“?!”

“If so, I’ll take him without question.”

Like an awl protruding from a pocket, the protruding knee of the titan slammed into Bi Yan’s sword like a hammer. The overwhelming force knocked Bi Yan’s body backward.

Off balance, now is your chance. Pang Dae-chul continued his Taoist-like offense, never letting up.

Should I use the techniques of the Hebei Fang now? Neither my opponent nor I, nor any of my brothers, have used them yet, which means this is just a prelude.

In such a situation, if I were to take the Hebei Fang Family’s technique to the front lines. Even if you have a mind of steel, your opponent is bound to panic.

If you take advantage of that gap, you’ll be able to kill it. That’s how the Heavenly Demon has always killed its opponents. It only used the same form as its opponent.

It overwhelms them with its own herbivorous diet, forcing them into a pit of despair. Quang!! The greatsword of the great iron swung again.

In the end, the force of the blow sent Bi Yan’s body flying through the air. Regardless, Fang Daiqing looked at him with cold eyes.

“Hebei Panga is the unmanned representative of Hebei, and the shield that protects them.”

“…….”

“I admit that you are strong, but the weight you carry already makes a difference.”

Fang Daiqing was not a man who liked empty words, so he said what he felt. True to his word, Bi Yan was definitely strong.

Unlike the other third-rate scum who relied solely on their internal strength, he was clearly a man of seasoned experience, at least in Pang Daechul’s eyes.

He was certainly too young, but as a mere mortal, he had to admit it. However, Pang Dae-chul himself had a reason not to lose.

“I am the bearer of the name of Hebei Penga, which my ancestors have built up.”

“…….”

“Therefore, I dare to say…… I am the first Hebei Penga.”

“Is that what you, yourself, call yourself?”

“I don’t care what the world thinks of me.”

Indeed…… Certainly, I am someone to be nipped in the bud in the martial arts.” Bi Yan staggered back to his feet. After all, she can’t do that herself.

The Hebei Feng Family’s dao itself was already in her head, and she was fully capable of implementing it, but she didn’t want to. Right now, she’s not a Heavenly Demon.

Now that she’s been saved by her master, she must practice his teachings as they were meant to be practiced, and furthermore, rid the Martial Realm of its monstrosities.

“Isn’t it because you carry the name of the Hebei Fang Family that you are called the Hebei First?”

“Yes. Is there anything that you are carrying?”

“In all things, but in all things, one man is below and ten thousand are above.”

There is only one man above, and ten thousand below. Above me there is only one Master, and He is with me. Hesitation was unnecessary.

“The first in the heavens and the first in the earth.”

That is the weight I carry.
