Taejonbirok Volume 26, Episode 14
Chapter 140: Lazy Man, Request (4)
I'm not tired yet.
It's true that my stamina was rapidly declining, but I still had some physical strength left. No, I should have.
Taking on a large army alone would be more stressful than you might think, but even considering all that, it doesn't make sense that you're low on stamina right now.
then?
It wasn't that Wei Yanhu was getting weaker.
They're getting stronger. Or, to be precise, they're regaining their strength.
Wi Yeon-ho is surprisingly adept at dealing with large armies. He didn't receive any separate training in martial arts or instruction from Baek Mu-han. However, his martial arts skills were well-suited for dealing with large groups.
First of all, the fact that it emits a light that seems to blind you is a definite advantage.
A martial arts that I have never seen before.
Those who see the bizarrely terrifying sword are instantly struck with fear. Even the most determined of men cannot shake off this unease. Those who witness the destructive power unleashed by the sword grow fearful of facing Wei Yanhu.
It is said that without a stable mind, one cannot exert one's power.
Those who have dealt with Wei Yanho so far have all fallen apart in this way.
But now it's different.
Because you're facing so many enemies, it's difficult to inflict significant damage in one fell swoop, no matter how hard you swing your sword. And the enemies won't retreat, even if they die.
So, the longer the battle goes on, the more familiar you become with Wei Yanhu's sword.
The suppressed abilities begin to emerge.
Paaang!
Oh my god!
The power contained in the flying sword is different from before.
It's true that the stronger ones are now at the forefront. But it's also true that the feel of the sword itself has changed from just a moment ago.
Kakakan!
The sword that clashed with Wei Yanho's sword withstood the blow with a metallic sound for the first time.
It was a stark difference from the swords of those who had faced Wei Yanho's sword so far, which were cut down like rice before a sickle.
And that one time was big.
Kak!
Card!
What was important was that Wei Yanhu's sword had stopped, and what was more important was that those surrounding Wei Yanhu were not stupid enough to miss that opportunity.
They knew perfectly well what they needed to do to deal with Wei Yanhu. They wouldn't rush in and attack him clumsily. They focused their energies on his sword, not his body.
That's right!
A dozen swords instantly attach themselves to Wei Yanhu's sword.
The sword, loaded with suction energy, began to hang on to Wei Yanho's sword as if it were a passing iron.
"hmm……."
A groan escaped Wei Yanho's lips for the first time.
The weight in my hand is heavier than I expected. If I let go even a little, I feel like I'll drop the sword. In this situation, dropping the sword would mean death.
And that wasn't all Wei Yanhu had to deal with.
The moment he confirmed that Wei Yanho's sword had stopped, countless swords began to fill the world.
knife.
It's just a sword.
I couldn't see a human form with my own eyes. The sword must have been held in a human hand, but I couldn't see a human form.
'This is ridiculous.'
I didn't miss it.
Wei Yanhu's intuition accurately captured the traces of those wielding a sword. Yet, the reason he couldn't help but be astonished was the sheer number of those who achieved complete unity with their swords, capable of deceiving vision.
I have never once ignored Baekgeomseong.
But the appearance Baekgeomseong was showing now was beyond even Wei Yanho's expectations.
But there is no time to leisurely reflect.
“Huh!”
He injects a strong force into the sword. The swords that were stuck together like a pendulum are repelled.
Wei Yanho raised his head and looked at the swords falling like rain.
Each and every one of them was tearing apart Wei Yanhu's body with the momentum of a one-hit kill.
Slurp.
Unlike the swords that pour down with fierce force, Wei Yanhu's sword draws a gentle arc, like leaves swaying in the spring breeze.
Movement without resistance.
It was just a natural progression.
Soft, so soft.
Wi Yeon-ho's eyes began to wander from the present to the distant past.
“Natural sword?”
"yes."
“Where did you get such nonsense from?”
"omg……."
The master has always been like this.
When asked about something, he looked at Wi Yeon-ho with a pitiful look. Yet, the reason he didn't dislike the sight was probably because of the warmth that always lingered in his eyes.
It's still like that now.
Unlike his narrowed eyebrows and the corners of his mouth that seemed to have studied how to make people the most angry, Baek Mu-han's eyes held warmth.

“What’s wrong with natural swords?”
“I heard it’s the highest level of swordsmanship.”
“Where do you hear all that nonsense?”
“……Master, did you ever fall from somewhere when you were young?”
"why?"
“So I was wondering how someone could be so antisocial without having a head injury…….”
Taak!
“Ugh!”
Wi Yeon-ho grabbed his head and cowered.
“If you say anything, hit me! If you go crazy, you’ll be held accountable!”
“That’s amazing.”
“What is it?”
"You still think your brain can go bad. I thought you were barely maintaining the human realm, but there's even more below."
“Ugh.”
Wi Yeon-ho trembled.
Of course, Wei Yanhu doesn't consider himself a normal human being. He shouldn't be, but if we were to classify humans into grades, Wei Yanhu would never be considered above average.
To be honest, I'd say they're the lowest of the low. Putting everything else aside, their laziness alone makes them unworthy of human treatment.
Although Wei Yanho possesses a keen understanding of his own subject, Baek Muhan makes even him tremble. Baek Muhan's contempt lacks both restraint and consideration.
'Even in death, he's like this, so how did the living people endure this person?'
Now, I'm just a worn-out, old man.
You say that doesn't make sense?
These are words that came out of his own mouth.
"I can only wield a tenth of the power I once possessed. Even that must be used with caution. If I had been able to wield my original power, you can imagine what would have happened to your head by now."
After hearing that, Wei Yanhu said, "Master, thank you for dying," and was beaten all day long.
Then what should I answer?
“Hey, you punk. What is nature?”
“Nature is nature. How old are you, yet you don’t even know that….”
Taaaaaaaah!
This time, it was definitely emotional.
This pain is a pain that cannot be created without emotional hands.
Baek Mu-han clicked his tongue as he watched Wi Yeon-ho rolling around on the floor.
“Tsk tsk tsk, have you seen this idiot?”
“Kaaaak! I didn’t say anything wrong!”
“You were wrong, you idiot! What is a natural sword?”
“……A sword that resembles nature.”
“Then, shouldn’t we know what nature is before we can imitate it, copy it, or not? What is nature?”
“So, nature is….”
Wi Yeon-ho couldn't answer.
nature.
Something like that by itself.
But the generally accepted meaning is… … .
“Things that are not human.”
“Would it be okay if it wasn’t a person?”
“Among non-human things, those untouched by human hands. That is, those that are not artificial.”
“Why?”
"……yes?"
Baek Mu-han chuckled.
"Why are nature and humans so alienated? What is nature in the first place?"
“……Isn’t that the difference between something that is alive and something that has been touched by human hands?”
“What is a human being?”
"to……."
Wi Yeon-ho closed his mouth.
It wasn't because I had nothing to say. It was because I understood what Baek Mu-han was saying.
“From the beginning!”
Baek Mu-han raised his voice.
“Among those who discuss the Tao and nature, is there anyone who is not a fraud?”
"omg……."
If you say something like that in front of a shaman or a volcano, you will be beaten to death… … .
No.
Yes. He was a master. That man would have no problem cursing Jang Sam-bong in front of a shaman for three days and nights. In fact, the shaman's disciples, locked behind closed doors, would tremble in fear.
Because people are no different from natural disasters.
"They're such swindlers, they say it's natural for water to flow downward, and there's a way to do it. Who wouldn't know that that's natural?"
Baek Mu-han clearly showed what happens when a person with shallow understanding tries to break the rules.
"Those who discuss the Tao divide everything. They say in words that everything is the same, that it is right for everything to ultimately become one and similar, but in reality, they divide and classify everything. And people believe that this is good."
“……What are you sharing?”
“What is Taegeuk?”
“Yin and Yang.”
“Why are you sharing it?”
“…….”
Wi Yeon-ho tilted his head. It was a question he had never considered before.
"Before those guys started spreading such nonsense, people in the world didn't even think about the division between yin and yang. They simply believed everything was one. Then, out of nowhere, these guys came along and started babbling about how the world was divided into yin and yang, then into four thoughts, then into the five trigrams, then into the seven constellations, and finally into the eight trigrams. And then what? They said we should return to one? These are the kind of peddlers of medicine."
Wi Yeon-ho smiled happily.
'I'm so glad it's a cave.'
It couldn't be more comforting to know that no one else was hearing these words.
"That's all bullshit. Your very idea is laughable in the first place. A distinction between the artificial and the natural? Hey, you idiot. Weren't humans born from nature?"
“……That, that’s right.”
"Humans, too, are merely a part of nature. From the very beginning, humans were meant to live this way. Just as animals wear fur, it's natural for humans to wear clothing. Isn't it true that animals that walk on four legs are natural, and those that walk on two legs aren't?"
“Uh… um.”
The Master's words are always like this.
At first it sounds like nonsense, but the more you listen to it, the more it makes sense.
So it's Baekmuhan, so.
"A natural sword? Resembling nature? Tsk tsk tsk, humans are nature, and nature is humans. So what do you mean by resembling nature? The human sword is the natural sword, and the natural sword is the human sword. Even a monkey swinging a stick for fun is a natural sword. Then why not try to imitate that?"
“I don’t think you need to be so harsh about it…….”
“Don’t be obsessed.”
Baek Muhan's eyes radiated light.
"A sword is just a sword. In your hands, it is nature, it is humanity. Don't divide, isolate, or abandon me to gain something new. Just keep moving forward, and you will eventually find yourself where you want to be. Yes, that is…"
Baek Mu-han chuckled.
“It’s natural.”
For the first time, Wei Yanhu thought his master's smile was wonderful.
