Taejonbirok Volume 26, Episode 10
Chapter 139: Lazy Man, Show (5)
Baekmuhan?
There was a complex feeling in Cheonryu Sword's eyes.
Anger, shame, hostility. But the emotion that stood out most, no matter what anyone said, was puzzlement.
Why does Baek Muhan's name come up here?
'no way?'
There was a part that was difficult.
The sword of Wei Yanhu.
Wei Yanhu's sword was of a type that Cheonryu Sword had never seen before.
Mangeom contains all the swords in the world.
In other words, the Ten Thousand Swords contain the secrets of all swordsmanship in the world. Therefore, mastering the Ten Thousand Swords is nearly impossible.
It takes years just to understand and master the countless swordsmanship contained within. While the Tapa martial artists master and develop countless martial arts, the Mangeom Baekga master only master one sword for their entire lives.
And yet, he can't even grasp the end, let alone achieve greatness.
In other words, it meant that there was so much sword energy dissolved in the Mangeom Sword. So much so that even a genius could dedicate a lifetime to digesting it all.
It's not to brag, but Cheonryu Sword had mastered most of the sword techniques embedded within the Ten Thousand Swords. However, Wi Yeon-ho's intuition didn't match any of the sword techniques he knew.
A completely new martial arts.
but…….
'It smells like ten thousand swords.'
Of course, no one would look at Wei Yanhu's sword now and think of the Ten Thousand Swords. Its form is completely different from that of the Ten Thousand Swords.
But you can tell by the Thousand-Ryu Sword.
Although their forms were completely different, Wei Yanhu's sword clearly bore the marks of the Ten Thousand Swords. Anyone who knew the Ten Thousand Swords and had faced Wei Yanhu would have recognized them even without the Heavenly Sword.
A question that has been suppressed for a long time.
Who did Wei Yanhu learn Mangeom from?
Now the mystery was slowly being unraveled.
“How can you discuss the Sword Emperor?”
Cheonryu Sword said with a stern face.
“Are you saying that your sword came from the Sword Emperor?”
Even as he spoke, Cheonryu Sword seemed convinced.
There is no need to hear an answer.
Wei Yanhu is a monster.
The word "genius" simply cannot describe Wei Yanhu. He was a monster, both in name and reality.
And a monster of this size cannot come out naturally.
Ability beyond one's years might be achieved through talent. But that absurd skill and understanding of the sword cannot be achieved alone.
Even the greatest masters in the world couldn't demonstrate the same level of understanding at Wei Yanhu's age. A master is essential.
And that teacher… … .
'Is it possible?'
Somewhere in the world, unknown even to them, there might exist descendants of the Sword Emperor. The possibility is quite plausible. Since Baekgeomseong also hid the fact that he was the Mangeom, they might not have known that the Mangeombaekga clan had not yet been destroyed.
But even if he is a descendant of the Sword Emperor, can he raise such a monster without reaching the level of the Sword Emperor himself?
"well."
Wi Yeon-ho shrugged.
“Is that important?”
“…….”
Cheonryu Geom bit his lips tightly.
What Wi Yeon-ho said is right.
What does that matter?
Even if Wi Yeon-ho were a descendant of Man-geom, who inherited the advancement of the Sword Emperor, they and Wi Yeon-ho would never be reconciled. The resentment between them is too deep to be forgotten simply by claiming they share common roots.
What difference does it make now that you know that?
“……You always get to the point.”
“Hehe, I am a bit like that.”
Cheonryu Geom laughed without realizing it as he watched Wei Yanho scratching the back of his head.
'What if we hadn't met as enemies?'
Then it might have been a little fun.
If our relationship hadn't gotten so twisted, I might have had a cute grandson. I would have been so proud.
The descendants of the Ten Thousand Swords advance towards becoming the best in the world. They achieve feats that even the Sword Emperor could not achieve.
'Useless thoughts.'
Cheonryu Sword calmed down.
It's the enemy.
His personal feelings are of no consequence. The important fact is that Wei Yanhu is an enemy who must be killed, the greatest obstacle to the grand plan.
"I appreciate your offer to teach me a lesson, but I don't have the confidence to face you. But Baekgeom is more than capable of taking on Jeongmu-maeng."
“I don’t think that’s something a person without a license should say.”
“Then I guess I can just abandon the unmanned one.”
The Cheonryu Sword did not waver at all.
And Wei Yanho didn't feel any regret either. From the beginning, he didn't think they would come out easily.
It's just a shame that the blood had to be shed.

'What do you want so badly?'
These people are truly incomprehensible.
Fame, obituary… … .
Ultimately, people only move as much as they can handle. To acquire more, you have no choice but to work harder.
If you're just a little greedy, you can live comfortably.
Ultimately, it was greed that led them here. It was something Wei Yanho could never understand.
Avenging a grudge, dominating the martial world—what's the point of that?
For Wi Yeon-ho, such things are not even worth a warm blanket.
So I should let them know too.
How precious it is to be able to return to a comfortable bed after a day's work.
"hmm."
Wei Yanho lightly scratched his head.
"Let's get started without wasting any time. The demonic cult bastards will be attacking even as we're at this point."
Wi Yeon-ho took a step forward.
Cheonryu Sword narrowed his eyes.
Because the way Wei Yanho came out seemed like he was going to face them alone.
“I’m just asking, but are you planning to fight alone?”
“Is there any reason why that shouldn’t be done?”
“Are you going to face us alone, leaving the political alliance behind?”
“If the reason you came was not to deal with me but with the Jeongmu Alliance, I could have stepped aside.”
“Huh.”
Cheonryu Sword shook his head as if he couldn't understand at all.
'I don't know what you're thinking.'
To him, Wei Yanhu was a truly incomprehensible figure. Not only his abilities, but his personality and even his thoughts were completely incomprehensible.
“I can’t help but acknowledge your guts. You alone….”
“Just stop there.”
“Hmm?”
When Wi Yeon-ho interrupted, Cheonryu Geom raised his eyebrows.
"What you're saying now sounds like something a strong person would say to a weak person. It's not something you say lightly. I'm stronger than you."
“…….”
Cheonryu Geom wasn't particularly flustered. But Baek Hoe-myeong was biting his lip.
It's humiliating.
It is extremely humiliating.
He could bear the humiliation he was receiving. But the fact that even the Heavenly Sword was being humiliated made it unbearable.
“Look at me, your arrogance is sky-high. Do you think you can face Baekgeomseong alone?”
"Hey, some people think they can get away with joining hands with the Demonic Cult, but this is kind of cute. Don't you think?"
“This guy!”
As Baek Hoe-myeong took a step forward, Wi Yeon-ho stuck his stomach out.
“Why? Are you attacking me?”
"……profit!"
Baek Hoe-myeong was not a fool.
No matter how angry I am, I am not stupid enough to forget that rushing at Wei Yanho is suicidal.
The expression on Cheonryu Geom's face, who was blocking Baek Hoe-myeong, also darkened.
'I shouldn't have said that.'
It was a mistake to converse with Wei Yanhu. Wei Yanhu was always confident. Even when I confronted him, he acted like that.
Would that appearance be damaged if they all rushed in and killed Wei Yanhu?
Rather, wouldn't it be better to leave behind only the legend of him fighting Baekgeomseong alone?
Cheonryu Sword closed his eyes.
'I wanted to be like that.'
When he first took up the sword, he wanted to become a proud warrior like that. One who would not yield to any force, but would carry out his will.
A warrior who will not give up his will even if it means fighting against the entire world.
A warrior who values meaning more than life.
Wi Yeon-ho was walking that unmanned path that everyone dreams of but no one can achieve.
It was a saddening thought for the Heavenly Sword that all it could offer to such a person was not respect and reverence, but a cold blade.
"now……."
"Yes. I think I've said enough. I can't waste any more time. Let's get started."
Wi Yeon-ho strode forward.
He never relinquished control. Whether it was innate or meticulously calculated, Cheonryu Geom couldn't shake the impression that he was ultimately being led by Wei Yanhu until the very end.
but…….
'I will give you honor.'
In any case, they had no honor left to defend. They had only one thing to take: Wi Yeon-ho's head, even if it meant giving up everything.
Only then will they be able to discuss the name of the Mangeom Sword again.
“The enemy is strong.”
It was something that didn't have to be said.
But the Cheonryu Sword insisted on bringing it up. He acknowledged his opponent. Only then could he pour everything out.
"So be resolute! We will kill Wei Yanhu! And today, we will also destroy the Jeongwu Alliance!"
A roar erupts. It's not a roar of rising morale, but rather a roar to steady themselves as they hesitate.
“Hit!”
"let's go!"
With a roaring cheer, the great army of Baekgeom began to advance.
Anyone who saw it from the front would be horrified. The swordsmen, their momentum building, surged in like a white wave.
“Bitter.”
Wi Yeon-ho straightened his back when he saw the sight.
'How long will it take?'
Although I pretended to be confident, it was true that I was nervous when I saw the crowds coming towards me.
But isn't that something you can't run away from?
If running away could solve the problem, he would have done it without a second thought. Wi Yeon-ho doesn't care about things like face or honor. Honor, which returns after death, is of no use.
But what if the situation isn't solved by running away?
We have to fight.
If there's no way back, you have no choice but to move forward. Wei Yanhu's eyes lit up as he charged forward.
The round, swollen body staggers and runs away.
“Eurachaaaaaaa!”
And light.
Wei Yanhu's entire body was enveloped in a dazzling light. Leaping into the air, he radiated light in all directions.
'I…….'
The Cheonryu Sword flinched.
The Wei Yan Lake was radiating light like the sun.
The Baekgeom army rushing towards the bizarre sight stops in its tracks.
It was temporarily suppressed from momentum.
“Don’t back down!”
The Cheonryu Sword encouraged them.
“The sword knows no retreat!”
The sound of the Cheonryu Sword brought movement back. But that was only for a moment.
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
With a sound like a cascading waterfall, light poured down from Wei Yanhu's body like a ripple. The endless, rippling halos of light flowed violently like a river swollen by heavy rain, engulfing the Baekgeom army.
“Blood, dodge!”
“Back off!”
It wasn't very fast.
But a united force cannot move as nimbly as when it is alone.
Those who are entangled and cannot escape are swept away by the torrent of light.
The war was beginning in a spectacular manner.
