Chapter 71: The Lazy Gets Caught (4)
'If I do it right, I might actually be able to catch my breath?'
It wouldn't have been that surprising to learn that the founder of the Volcano Sword was actually a barbarian.
Wi Yeon-ho shook his head as he looked at the Plum Blossom Sword Master who looked like he was about to fall over and grab the back of his neck.
“No?”
“Oh, no?”
“Yes. He’s not that kind of person. According to my master, his nickname when he was alive was Guanggeom.”
“……Light sword, light sword! Light sword Baekmuhan!”
The plum blossom sword master's face was distorted.
“The light sword is the sword emperor.”
"yes?"
“The light sword is the sword emperor! The sword emperor is the light sword!”
Wi Yeon-ho snickered.
“What are you talking about? A light sword is a light sword, and a sword emperor is a sword emperor. You seem to be in a lot of pain, so please rest.”
“No, you punk! The Emperor’s nickname while he was alive was Gwanggeom!”
"……yes?"
Wi Yeon-ho's head turned crookedly.
“Is it possible for a nickname given while alive to be given to someone after birth?”
“Yes! Of course! Such things happen all the time! Emperor Baek Mu-han was called Gwanggeom while he was alive, and was promoted to Emperor after his death. So, Gwanggeom is Emperor.”
“Hahahaha…….”
Wi Yeon-ho's face became awkward.
“So… the Emperor?”
“Yes.”
“That Sword Emperor, the greatest sword of all time?”
“That's what I said.”
A subtle light appeared on Wei Yanhu's face.
'If you think about it, it doesn't make sense. No, it makes sense. It has to make sense.'
Wei Yanhui had met countless powerful men of this era, including Kwon Geuk, in a short period of time. However, even while meeting these powerful men, he had never once felt that this man was strong enough to match Baek Muhan.
To be blunt… … .
'Can I hold out for a second?'
If the master just swipes his sword to the side, the Taegeuk Swordsman, the Plum Blossom Swordsman, the Gwangmu Liang, and the Kwon Geuk will all be destroyed without fail. Even if the four of them attack together, it is questionable whether they will be able to touch even a single hair…
“Wow! Now that I think about it, this is… really ridiculous.”
“What does that mean?”
“I thought it was so obvious until now, but our master is not human. Even if there were a hundred masters, I don’t think he would be able to defeat us.”
“……Is that so?”
“Isn’t even a hundred people enough?”
Don't say that in front of the person involved, you rotten bastard!
Of course so.
Even if Plum Blossom Sword Master was the greatest swordsman in the world at the time, how could he dare to stand before the name of the Sword Emperor?
The Sword Emperor was the goal, the myth, the legend of all who used the sword.
The reason why Geomhwang was able to become an unwavering legend in the martial arts world was not because he was the strongest, but because he was strong to a different level.
Isn't the fact that he single-handedly defeated the combined attacks of the ten greatest swordsmen of his time while shouting 'Mujeok the Invincible Sword' a very famous anecdote?
But even so… … .
“Bae, isn’t a hundred people a bit much? No matter what, I’m the best swordsman in the volcano.”
“It’s a bit subtle because I can’t really gauge exactly what kind of power the number 100 will have, but I don’t think it’ll make much of a difference. You can’t win, right?”
Manners are nothing special.
Consideration is courtesy.
In that sense, this guy has no manners. It seemed like he didn't even know the concept of manners in the first place.
In front of the general, he said in a very moderate and soft tone, 'Our master can't win even if a hundred guys like you come running at him.'
Should I say that I was feeding him candy affectionately?
“Ugh.”
Plum Blossom Sword Lord shook his head and opened his mouth.
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not sure if this is true. My master said that he was Baek Muhan and was called Guanggeom… and during his time, he wrote letters on the heads of Shaolin bald men, and even when he peed in the Taoist temple of Malko, no one said anything.”
“……That’s right.”
"that's right?"
“……That’s right. It’s a secretly passed down truth that the Sword Emperor’s personality was very temperamental. Not only his swordsmanship, but his personality was also the best in all of history.”
“This is a steal. It’s ten percent.”
“I think so.”
“Oh, and!”
Wi Yeon-ho brought back memories.
“Heavenly Sword? What, you said it was a hundred schools……”
“……I guess it’s a hundred swordsmanship.”
“Oh, I think so. Hehe.”

Looking at the innocently smiling Wei Yanhu, Plum Blossom Sword Lord covered his face.
'What should I do about this?'
Only Wei Yanhui doesn't know, only Wei Yanhui doesn't know.
Everyone in the world knows what it means to continue the progress of Baek Muhan, but only Wei Yanhu, who continued the progress, did not know.
“Yeah, I see. That’s right…….”
Now it all makes sense.
Wi Yeon-ho's extraordinary strength becomes realistic when you consider that he is Baek Mu-han's disciple. That is, based on Baek Mu-han's numerous anecdotes.
'I thought it was all a lie… … .'
How would future generations feel if they heard that Wei Yanhu defeated the bishop of the Demonic Cult and beat the Dark King, who ruled the time, to death?
That was exactly how Plum Blossom Sword Lord felt when he first heard the story of the Sword Emperor. He thought it was an absurd exaggeration, but since the same story had been passed down so many times, he couldn't help but believe it.
Since Wi Yeon-ho is said to be the disciple of Geom-hwang, I can understand Wi Yeon-ho's strength, and since Geom-hwang is said to be Wi Yeon-ho's teacher, I can accept that the anecdotes that showed the end of exaggeration are real.
“One, this… is not an ordinary thing.”
“Yes? Why?”
“……Baekgeomseong claimed to be a descendant of Mangeombaekga.”
“Hmm, I heard.”
“Did you know?”
“Well, it’s not like I don’t have ears.”
“Then do you also know that Baekgeomseong is your disciple?”
“Hey, that’s not it.”
Wi Yeon-ho blew his nose.
“If you acknowledge me as a monk, you have to acknowledge my lineage as well. Then, from this moment on, I will become the eldest adult of Baekgeomseong. Who would accept that?”
“……Is that how it is?”
“Yes.”
“But even if they don’t acknowledge your rank, can’t they demand that you return your martial arts?”
“That’s not it either. Because this isn’t the martial art of the Ten Thousand Swordsmen.”
“Huh? No?”
“Yes. I don’t know for sure, but I heard that the martial arts that my master created was called the Light Sword Style. But he didn’t teach me that Light Sword Style. He said I had to find my sword or something.”
“Ugh…….”
It was a delicate matter.
Even if Wi Yeon-ho thinks so, will they really be convinced?
'The mystery is solved.'
I have heard countless rumors about the Sword Emperor, but I have never heard of his sword emitting light.
I don't know what it was like at the time, but in later generations, no one knew what the Sword Emperor's martial arts were. So even though Wei Yanhuo was openly showing off his skills, no one thought it was the Sword Emperor's martial arts.
'Even Baekgeomseong probably didn't know.'
Because the Emperor of Swords mysteriously disappeared without passing on his knowledge.
If we think about the history of the Mangeom Baekga, which completely fell into ruin after that, we must assume that they also did not know what Wi Yeon-ho's martial arts were.
“For now, go somewhere and don’t say that.”
"why?"
“Baekgeomseong is not ordinary. If you are not careful, rumors may spread that you are related to Baekgeomseong because of your ignorance.”
“I have no relationship with you. If anything, you could say I hold a grudge against you.”
“That’s right. But do you think other people would think that way? In the world of martial arts, what proves your identity is your martial arts and family. No matter how much you deny it, since you inherited the martial arts of the Sword Emperor, you cannot deny your connection with Baekgeomseong.”
“It’s complicated.”
“Yeah, it’s complicated.”
It's more than you can imagine.
Plum Blossom Sword Lord sighed several times.
'It's not that simple.'
Even if Baekgeomseong hadn't shown the same movements as now, it would have been a complicated matter. Perhaps, this could have caused great chaos in the martial arts world.
But even Baekgeomseong is doing that.
'If this becomes known to the world, it could cause great chaos.'
Hundreds of people died in a bloody accident due to the uncertain identity of the Emperor. So what would happen if the certainty of the Emperor's identity appeared?
Although we don't know, before Wei Yanhu becomes too strong to be touched anymore, a force will emerge that will try to subdue him and seize the Sword Emperor's martial arts.
In particular, Wei Yanhu's power was virtually non-existent compared to the greatness of his martial arts and his own strength… … If a large sect were willing to make sacrifices and try to subdue Wei Yanhu, it wouldn't be impossible.
“Make a promise with me.”
"yes?"
“Never! Never tell anyone about this. Not to anyone. You will only tell it when you feel like you can handle everyone in the world. Do you understand?”
“Yes. Well, it’s not that difficult. I hate annoying things.”
“Umm…….”
At Wei Yanho’s words, Plum Blossom Sword Lord quietly nodded his head.
'I don't know.'
How is it that the martial arts of the Sword Emperor, which had disappeared for three hundred years, have reappeared at this time?
What does this mean?
The arrangements of heaven are seemingly elaborate and sloppy, and do not bestow unnecessary power.
The fact that Wi Yeon-ho had obtained the Sword Emperor's martial arts seemed to mean the emergence of another power, and Plum Blossom Sword Lord felt heavy-hearted.
'If the level of the Emperor's ignorance is something that must be dealt with… … .'
A newly emerged demonic cult.
and…….
'I guess I need to talk to the new detective about this.'
“Then can I go?”
“Ah…… well, that’s…… no, just a moment.”
At that moment, the Plum Blossom Sword Lord's face began to burn.
“You, you, come to think of it… didn’t you obtain the Sword Emperor’s Eugene? The secret that came out of the cave?”
“Yes, it was.”
“Wait! Then there are two Eugenes. What you have is also the Eugene of the Sword Emperor, and what you learned is also the Eugene of the Sword Emperor…….”
“Oh, that?”
Wi Yeon-ho glanced around, then quietly approached Plum Blossom Sword Master and whispered.
“Only you know, sir. It’s about that emergency…….”
"huh?"
“It’s fake.”
Wi Yeon-ho smiled and raised his thumb.
“It looks like it was copied from somewhere, but there is no real meaning to it and it is filled with strange things. It seems like those who saw the master’s martial arts in a superficial way imitated it and made a secret recipe. When I first got my hands on it, it was strange because there were so many similarities to what I had learned.”
“Heh heh, that’s right… No, wait a minute. You sold that, right? Are you saying you sold it knowing it was fake?”
“Hehehehe.”
Wi Yeon-ho slowly retreated and headed towards the entrance.
“Then take care of yourself. I’ll take care of myself now.”
“Oh, by the way! I heard that Jang Moon-in gave you three hundred nyang of gold to copy that…….”
“Take care of it!”
As Wei Yanhui leapt out naked, the Plum Blossom Sword Lord, holding the Plum Blossom Sword, broke through the roof and soared out.
Plum Blossom Sword Lord, his face flushed red, let out a scream as he saw Wei Yanhu running at an incredible speed under the moonlight.
“Stop right there, you swindler!”
The plum blossom sword master, who had to be guarded for a long time, had to lie down on the floor because he had overdone it that day. And of course, once the money went into Wi Yeon-ho’s stomach, it never came out again.
“Once you buy it, that’s it!”
