Upon hearing the fiend's threatening roar. Cheon-u unknowingly tried to step towards him. In that moment, Jin Cheon-hee raised a hand to stop him.
“!”
Only then did Cheon-u realize he had almost fallen for the taunt. The mountain of gang qi the fiend had shown.
However.
‘It's just for show, it's not actually attacking us?’
That meant he was just trying to shake them up.
‘So even that killing intent, that will to kill in anger, is a Demonic Cult stratagem?’
It was just as expected of Honnoeja. But, despite that, Jin Cheon-hee was not shaken. He just let out a small laugh.
“It's an old conundrum of the Jianghu. A master of External Arts versus a master of Internal Energy. If they fight, who is stronger.”
To calm Cheon-u's heart, Jin Cheon-hee changed the subject.
“……”
Cheon-u forced himself to focus on his brother's words.
“In the past, since humans first started cultivating qi and accumulating Internal Energy in their Dantian, hasn't this debate continued on?”
“!”
As he spoke about their sect. Jin Cheon-hee continued to speak with emphasis, as if telling him to focus.
“People have always asked, 'If a master who has perfected External Arts fights a master who has perfected Internal Energy, who would win?'”
His tone was like he was telling an old tale to a child. Cheon-u furrowed his brow, trying hard to focus on his brother.
