Absolute Sword Sense Chapter 268

<Episode 88: True Story (1)>

The Emperor's back trembled at the blade of the Nanchen Iron Sword touching his neck.

A trembling voice came out of his mouth, which had been full of arrogance.

“What the heck are you…….”

How could he have predicted that three masters who were called the Twelve Days of Heaven and had overcome walls of equal strength would attack together and still be behind him?

"your majesty!"

"this guy!"

Pa-gung-gwi Cho-sa and Myowol Yang-myeong-sin could not contain their anger.

I warned them again.

“I told you not to move.”

With those words, he slowly brought the blade to the Emperor's neck.

With just a little bit of force, the blade digs into his neck.

It feels strange even when I hold the sword against it.

The life of Emperor Geumsangje, who was called the worst tyrant of the past and tried to wipe out the martial arts world, is in my hands.

-You can't kill me anyway.

…..That's true.

If that happens, the future will be completely changed.

If the impact is greater, in severe cases the country's very existence may disappear.

Of course, how could I, a mere human being, know the great flow of this world, but I should try to minimize any influence on the future as much as possible.

'I have to leave him alone until he dies.'

It's a shame, but I guess I'll have to end it by achieving my goal.

First, we need to find out where the vigilantes are and retrieve the legal instruments they have there.

The dharma will probably belong to the emperor.

It is highly unlikely that something called an age-old artifact would be handed over to someone else.

-What are you going to do about Yunhwi Jonju?

At Namcheoncheolgeom's question, he looked at the guard whose face was covered with a black cotton cloth.

Even though he is not a martial artist, his skills are comparable to those of the twelve best martial artists in the world.

No, it might actually be a little more advantageous.

-why?

It was probably my first time experiencing this, but I was able to relieve Noekumcheondun's brain energy the fastest.

You can tell just by looking at the split shape of the tent's boards.

Even now, hundreds of years later, if he is this strong, killing him now would be the answer to avoid any future troubles.

It's a shame that it ends with just digging up information.

At that moment, the emperor, who had been shaking his back, opened his mouth.

“If you stop now, I will spare your life.”

Still, he showed the appearance of an emperor of a country.

If you put a sword to his neck, he probably won't calm down.

I spoke to the Emperor in a soft tone.

“I will speak to Your Majesty. If you will only answer my questions, everything will pass quietly without incident.”

“How dare this guy….”

“I told you to stay still. Didn’t you tell me earlier not to move a finger?”

At my words, the Pagunggwi squire who was moving his hand towards his quiver stopped.

Although they were pushed back by Noegeumcheondun, they are also called Cheonhasibjeol and are at the top of the current martial arts world.

There's no telling what will happen if you give them even the slightest opening.

Since we don't have much time, I should get to the point first.

“Your Majesty, where is the vigilante?”

“…….What are you going to do knowing that? To catch that guy?”

“Yes. Didn’t I tell you?”

“Every single word of that sounds like a lie.”

Is it because they say they won't kill you if you answer correctly?

He answers calmly, even joking.

Is it because he is worthy of being called an emperor that he possesses such boldness?

-Wow!

The Emperor flinched slightly and moved as the blade touched his skin.

I just said that I wanted to live differently than before.

“The blade will feel particularly cold. That is because Your Majesty’s life is directly connected to it.”

At those words, the emperor could be heard swallowing.

I guess I'm feeling a little nervous now.

"you….."

“There is no such thing as ‘absolutely’ in this world. Please think carefully about every word you say.”

-Gulp!

Blood flowed from the emperor's neck.

The face of Myowul Yangmingsin, who was watching this, turned red with anger.

However, since the Emperor's life was at stake, he could not make any hasty moves.

“…….”

The same was true of the golden-eyed man standing behind them, his eyes covered by a black cloth.

He was staring at me intently, frowning, his eyes covered.

It would be confusing to find out that you are not blind.

“Okay. Now let’s talk.”

“Are you asking me to tell you the whereabouts of the self-defense forces?”

"yes."

“……I don’t know.”

I frowned at the answer that came out of the Emperor's mouth.

Does it make sense that the person who tried to enter the fuse based on the information known to the Self-Defense Forces and even guarded against me doesn't know his whereabouts?

“You’re not asking me to believe that, are you?”

“Why would Jim lie even if it meant hanging Yong-sang’s neck?”

I laughed at his words.

“Your Majesty, you seem to have a stronger desire than any man I have ever seen. Would you believe me if I told you that such a man does not know the whereabouts of the one who has tempted him?”

“You are a suspicious person.”

“It’s reasonable doubt.”

“I know what you don’t know, so I’ll explain it to you in detail…”

-Phuk!

“Huh!”

The emperor was startled.

Because the blade dug deeper into his neck.

I smiled broadly and said to him.

“Please don’t make me commit treason.”

“If this isn’t treason then…”

“It is merely a self-defense measure to protect oneself. What will corrupt that self-defense measure is Your Majesty’s answer.”

With those words, I put more strength into my sword.

Then the emperor shouted urgently.

“He, he said he was going to capture the foggy forest.”

'!?'

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed at those words.

'Hold the foggy forest?'

-What does this mean?

My head is in disarray.

The fuse moves periodically along the flow of time and space.

According to the scriptures of the Thirty-Six Immortals' Heavenly Positions, they completely break away from the existing flow and move separately, so they cannot stay in one place for long.

By now the fuse would have blown out.

Because of this belief, he thought that the self-defense forces had failed to predict the location of the fuse.

But you said you were going to hold onto it?

“Is that true?”

“It’s true. To confirm this, Jim had Governor Brain follow the Vigilantes and watch them.”

What the heck is going on here?

So, does that mean that this person, Jagyeongjeong, has gone to the fuse right now?

'under…..'

He betrayed the fuse and went out on his own two feet, saying it was for the people's livelihood or something.

But this bold man went back to the fuse to deliver the elixir of life, the Yongho Geumdan, into the hands of the Emperor?

-Isn't that impossible?

Sodamgeom's words were right.

Only when the shipping list is posted in the 36th Heavenly Way Sutra, can one enter the fuse.

Even though it was by chance, I was able to enter the fuse thanks to the guidance of Master Geomseon.

He can't get to the fuse on his own because he's been excommunicated from it.

no way…….

-There's a ferry!

As Sodamgeom said, Yeoyangseon was not removed from the ship.

She can come in anytime.

This was the arrangement of the sword master in case she escaped from the hands of the self-defense forces.

'That damn bastard. Did he use his own sister?'

If that's the case, then it's quite possible.

How on earth do you catch the fuse?

It would be possible if the 36-line Heavenly Wisdom Sutra Gate was destroyed, but because of what he did, the place is now guarded by seven masters, excluding Jeongyang Jinin, who take turns guarding it.

No matter how strong a guy is and how powerful he is, if he's inside the fuse, the situation changes.

Even if only a true sage who has reached the realm of the sage appears, he will be quickly subdued.

'What kind of guts do you have?'

I couldn't understand it at all.

I guess I'll have to hurry and go back.

If he's not here anyway, we have to stop him before he does anything.

Before that,

"your majesty."

“Didn’t you tell the truth?”

“You have an item you received from the self-defense officer, right?”

"that….."

“That is our clan’s treasure. Even if you are the ruler of a country, this is a very dangerous item. Please return it.”

I have to go back after retrieving the legal documents.

-Unhwi.

'Don't worry, Namcheon.'

I'll check John's face too.

At my words, Namcheoncheolgeom also kept his mouth shut.

The Emperor spoke as he struck the blade again.

“Yes, I will give it to you. Why don’t you just give it to me? If I return this, will you let me go of my luggage?”

“Yes.”

I will return it nicely.

Why are you seeing blood?

The emperor slowly put his hand into his bosom.

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

I gave a warning just in case.

There's nothing wrong with him doing something without even learning martial arts, but if he tries to use a magic tool for no reason, the situation will be different.

That is why we keep applying force to the blade.

The emperor took something out of his bosom and placed it on the palm of his hand.

It was a small plaque made of jade.

'The pattern of the Seonbyeok Jinok?'

I frowned.

I thought there would be a stone of Yang Hwang Gang Myeong instead of this.

If he had this, he could have kept it from coming near him, but he just kept it in his arms like an accessory.

Something was strange.

If we go by the suffix, it is clear that this has been in continuous use.

I put my hand into my bosom and took out the compass.

Now, the emperor is not using the dharma tool, so the needle on the compass should not move.

-Whirrrrrr!

The needle on the compass was shaking at a tremendous speed.

And the needle was pointing to someone other than the emperor.

I turned my gaze there and couldn't help but frown.

'Jonju?'

The needle was pointed precisely at the Emperor's bodyguard, who was wearing black cotton.

I looked down at the Emperor, who was conscious of the blade.

“Oh, take it quickly.”

Are you trying to fool me now?

After leaving the legal instruments in that person's hands.

I sighed and said to the Emperor.

“I told you not to talk nonsense.”

“What are you talking about? Didn’t you ask for the item that Jagyeongjeong gave you? This is it.”

“Do I look so foolish? Tell the guard over there to give you the item right away. Otherwise, Your Majesty….”

The blade dug deeper into the Emperor's neck.

The emperor was startled and shouted at his guards.

“Hey, do whatever this guy wants.”

To his words I added a warning.

“If the emperor uses the utensil, he dies.”

“…….”

Then, the emperor's bodyguard wearing black cotton took something out of his bosom without saying a word.

It was exactly the same as the jade tablet in the emperor's palm.

The only difference was that the red gem in the middle was more vivid.

The emperor muttered as if he was puzzled when he saw this.

“How could you do that…."

“Okay, throw the jade tablet here.”

At my words, the escort took hold of the jade tablet and took a stance as if he was going to throw it at me.

And then he extended it to me.

It was that very moment.

-Wooooow!

A strange thing happened before my eyes.

A thin, grayish wall appeared to block the Emperor's path from where I was.

When I turned my head left and right, they had appeared on both sides of me as well.

“What, what the heck is this…..”

The emperor muttered as if he did not understand English.

So I grabbed his neck and stabbed the thin wall with my Namcheoncheolgeom.

-Papapapapak!

Then, the sword was thrown back by a strong rebound.

"shit."

He used the Seonbyeokjinok's badge.

This barrier is called a seonbyeok and is used to confine someone and protect oneself.

Known to be able to trap even demons and monsters, it is said that it cannot be broken by the power of an ordinary human.

I grabbed the Emperor's neck tightly and said.

“Do you want to see the Emperor die?”

The man in black cotton turban laughed slyly at my words.

The emperor's life is at stake and you're laughing?

It was not only me who was shocked, but the Emperor too, who shouted in anger.

“What are you doing now! I don’t care what happens to Jim….”

"fizzle."

Before he could finish speaking, the man in black cotton put his index finger to his lips and said:

Then the emperor closed his mouth as if he had become mute.

The emperor with the aforementioned face closed his mouth and mumbled to himself as if he did not understand English.

'What the heck….'

Then the black cotton escort clicked his tongue and said.

“I asked you to make it a perfect replica of Jim, and you insulted me.”

'!!!'

At his words, Pa-gung-gwi Cho-sa and Myowol Yang-myeong-sin, who were standing on either side of him, looked at him with wide eyes.

The emperor's eyes also widened as if wondering what was going on.

Then I opened my eyes narrowly and spoke to the emperor's guard.

“…….You were the emperor.”

This guy I'm holding by the neck was a body double.

It wasn't real.

“I never thought I would show my burden to something so insignificant.”

The emperor's guard took off his black veil.

Then, a face with a tall, strong impression and short eyebrows that looked like thick dots were revealed.

The voice of Namcheoncheolgeom echoed in my head.

-That's him! Unhwi.

under……

I was speechless, dumbfounded.

The king who was called the worst tyrant was the King of Jinsang.

The King of Swords, who is known to have died as a soldier, was the one who controlled the martial arts world from behind the scenes.

Even I couldn't help but be astonished.

But that bastard's eyes.

-Isn't that a golden eye?

Both of his eyes were normal, not golden.

'Is that really him?'

-That's right. That voice and that face are both certain. How could I forget that face that looked down at me arrogantly after cutting off my master's arm!

The Namcheon Iron Sword could not overcome the anger.

If the Emperor is truly the Lord, has he not yet undergone the procedure?

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been that normal.

At that time, Emperor Geumsangje, who had declared himself the true emperor, walked closer carrying a load on his back.

“Even if you are a substitute, you are someone who does not value life if you try to harm me.”

Majesty and arrogance.

He was a man who even possessed strength.

It seems that the Emperor is truly a man of integrity.

He came right up to me and spoke to me.

“Now, before I kill you, I must hear your true purpose.”

Geum Sang-je pushed forward the jade tablet he was holding in one hand.

Then, the red jewel in the center of the jade tablet began to glow.

As expected, he knew exactly what kind of power Seonbyeok Jinok's badge had.

The gray walls rippled like waves.

“Is your goal really to catch that guy named Jagyeongjeong?”

I gritted my teeth at his question.

But my mouth opened on its own, regardless of my will.

"exactly."

The pattern of Seonbyeok Jinok.

This is called the Dharma of Truth.

Those trapped in the wall are forced to tell the truth whatever the master of the law asks.

I grabbed the sword of the Namcheon Iron Sword.

I have to get out of here.

When Geum Sang-je saw this, he smiled and said to me.

“You, who came out of the fuse, should know better than anyone that this wall called the Sunbyeok will never be broken.”

“I can’t continue answering your questions here.”

Every time I ask a question, I'm forced to answer, so I can't do my best.

I was able to move a little bit after each answer to his question, and he continued asking questions.

“I have to answer this before I die.”

“You can’t kill me.”

Geum Sang-je burst into laughter at my words, as if they were ridiculous.

“I see you do that because you trust in that lightning swordsmanship. Did you learn that from Geomseon?”

Damn it. I shouldn't be talking, but my mouth keeps opening.

“Yes. It’s a combination of the Noekomcheondun and Seongmyeonggeombeop that I learned from Geomseon.”

“Signature swordsmanship? Did you learn that from the swordsman?”

“It’s not a sword.”

-Ugh!

If this continues, I might end up telling him everything.

I quickly adopted the form of a sword stabbing with the Namcheon Iron Sword.

Geum Sang-je shook his head as he looked at this.

“I thought you said it couldn’t be broken. But it was more unexpected. It was a peerless sword technique that I had never seen before. Who would know this sword technique….”

-Pachichichichichik!

Before Geum Sang-je could finish speaking, a blue lightning flashed from the sword.

Emperor Geumsangje laughed when he saw this.

“Don’t do anything useless. Even the brainwashed man who was called the Boksan Seosaeng who tried to climb over the wall of the wall couldn’t break the wall. Rather, he was only injured by the force of the wall bouncing off. No matter how strong you are….”

Before he could finish speaking, my mouth opened against my will.

Because I was inside the wall, the thoughts in my head just came out of my mouth.

"what?"

At those words, the eyes of the golden emperor beyond the cliff wavered.

As the brainwaves were released, the already rippling wall began to ripple even more violently.

At this, Geum Sang-je felt wary and unconsciously took half a step back.

-bang!

Regardless, I stepped on the path.

“What are you trying to do?”

I endured his questions with great difficulty.

'Stab. Stab. Stab.'

I focused only on this one thought.

Then, my heart started to ache as if it was being torn apart, and blood flowed out of my mouth.

This is the first time I've learned that forcibly holding on to the power of the cliff has these side effects.

good.

Please answer what you are trying to do.

"jin….."

“Do you really believe you can break it?”

"axis…."

“Stop. The wall will deflect any force applied to it. You’ll die if you do.”

"ah….."

“I told you to stop!”

"episode….."

“Stop him. Now!”

Geum Sang-je shouted as he threw the new model backwards.

Then, Myowul Yangmyeongsin hurriedly blocked his way.

"knife!"

Brain Sword, Jin Chukahoegeom (Expelling the Asian Sword).

A blue lightning bolt from the sword struck the wall, creating a whirlwind.

The wall shook and a tremendous cracking sound erupted from the fiercely rotating lightning strike.

-Whoosh!

At the same time, my new car was pushed back about three steps.

The corners of Geum Sang-je's mouth went up when he saw this.

Then I think that's what it seems to be.

So I gritted my teeth and opened the lower and middle dantians.

After three years and eight months of training, I was able to overcome the walls and achieve the unity of the spirit and energy of the body.

Regarding this, Master Geomseon called it Hyeon-gyeong (玄境).

-Kwajijijijik!

When I practiced the union of my spirits, my internal energy and innate energy were in harmony, and my martial power increased explosively.

Then, the seemingly unbreakable wall began to crumble.

“Whoaaaaap!”

I extended my sword forward with all my might.

At that moment, the wall broke and the whirlwind of lightning formed a storm and surged forward at a rapid pace.

-Pachichichichik!

A huge tent was torn apart by a thunderstorm.

“Oh no!”

"this…."

-Kwakwakwakwakwakwakwakwa!

And part of the advancing imperial army was swept away by the storm.
