Chapter 27 – The Lazy Man Takes Up the Sword (2)

“Are you talking about a sword?”

"yes."

Ha Dae-bong was slightly surprised by Wi Yeon-ho's words, but called his subordinate without saying a word.

"knife."

When the sword on his waist was passed to Ha Dae-bong, Ha Dae-bong handed the sword to Wi Yeon-ho.

“Here it is.”

Wi Yeon-ho accepted the sword, pulled out the scabbard, handed it to Ha Dae-bong, and shook the sword a couple of times again.

“I have a strange feeling.”

Since it wasn't the sword he always used while training, it felt different in weight. But what can I do? Since he left the black cave, it hasn't left his pack even once.

If he had known this would happen, he would have brought it out, but it was impossible for the lazy Wi Yeon-ho to have anticipated the situation and brought out a heavy sword.

“Do it quickly, quickly.”

Wi Yeon-ho waved his sword twice and stepped forward.

The man in black, who had been quietly watching the scene, narrowed his eyes.

It wasn't because he had any special compassion that he was watching that ridiculous sight.

Quite the opposite.

'Avoided.'

His sword advances without a trace, meaning that it is impossible to predict or dodge his sword strikes.

If others had seen it, the sight of him slowly closing the distance and then suddenly drawing his sword and swinging it might have seemed awkward, but in the black-clad man's mind, it was all calculated.

But I avoided the damage.

Although he ended up falling to the floor after tipping his chair backwards, he was ultimately able to avoid his sword strike perfectly.

“Let’s join forces.”

The judgment was quick and accurate.

If someone could dodge his sword strikes with his bare body, there was no way to guess how powerful he would be with a weapon. In order to reduce variables, it was important not to underestimate the opponent.

If it were a normal unmanned unit, it would not have been possible to conclude that they would attack together against a younger child, but they only valued efficiency and did not care about things like face.

The five masked people who entered the gold mine all approached Wi Yeon-ho.

“Rain, you cowards!”

Jin So-ah screamed, but Ha Dae-bong grabbed her and pulled her back.

“Wait a minute! There are a lot of cowards in there right now!”

“It is more disturbing to have Confucius next to me.”

Hadae-bong neatly suppressed Jinso-ah's resistance and stepped back far away.

'It's good that you're quick-witted.'

As a merchant, he was quick to calculate. Ha Dae-bong had already seen Wei Yan-ho causing chaos on the Milky Way Battlefield, so he seemed to know that they would not be of much help to Wei Yan-ho.

'Things are getting more and more complicated… … .'

I was just trying to make some money, but things kept getting messed up. At times like this, it would be better to just get everything done quickly so I could have a little more time to rest.

“Aren’t you coming? Then should I go? I don’t feel like moving, but it would be better if you came from that side.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black surrounded Wi Yeon-ho.

Even though they are kept at a sufficient distance, they still feel oppressive.

Wi Yeon-ho's face distorted with a gloomy murderous feeling that he had never experienced before.

“Ugh, it’s sticky.”

Their strength could hardly be compared to Baek Mu-han's, but the sticky murderous intent that made people impatient was enough to irritate Wei Yan-ho.

“Haam.”

Wi Yeon-ho yawned loudly and looked ahead.

As Wei Yanho opened his mouth, the men in black who had been aiming their swords silently closed the distance between them.

and…….

The sword slashed in playfully, without a single sound.

It didn't look threatening because there was no sound, but the speed at which the sword actually stabbed was fast enough to terrify those watching.

However, Wei Yanhui still yawned and did not close his gaping mouth, swinging the sword in his hand playfully.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng!

The five black-clad men who had been stabbing Wei Yanhu with five clean metallic sounds all stepped back and exchanged glances in confusion.

'The loophole disappeared in an instant.'

No matter how you look at it, Wi Yeon-ho is full of vulnerabilities. Even when attacking, it seems like his entire body is full of vulnerabilities to the point where you have trouble figuring out where to attack.

But when the moment came for the sword to touch his body, as if it were a lie, there was no place to stab him on Wei Yanho's body.

'It's incomprehensible.'

But even if they didn't understand, it didn't make a difference. The order they received was to follow the Black Ark and prepare for anything that might happen.

In particular, he was ordered to eliminate any young masters who might be a threat, which was why he had followed them to this gambling house.

They followed without question because they understood that there were times when a cleaver would be used to cut up a chicken if necessary. If not for this situation, it would have been a situation where their pride would have been hurt just by dealing with a young kid.

'It was a good decision to come.'

“Get rid of your contemptuous feelings.”

It was highly unlikely that his thoroughly trained subordinates would have such thoughts, but the man in black caught them off guard once again.

“Carelessness is not the cause of failure. It is better to bite your tongue than to make excuses.”

"yes."

Wi Yeon-ho nodded as he heard voices echoing around him.

“Letting your guard down is not an excuse. Letting your guard down proves how stupid you are. If you have two lives, you can let your guard down. But you and I only have one life, so don’t even dream about letting your guard down.”

“I got hit hard back then…….”

My master said that even though he died, he was still alive, so he must have two lives, and then he was beaten all over his body with a stone fist. Thinking back on that time, I felt a new tingling sensation in my lower body.

“I have two lives.”

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had two lives since he survived that much.

“You have to make them let their guard down and tell them not to let their guard down.”

Who told you not to let your guard down when you were beating people up regardless of whether they were sleeping or not? If you let your guard down, you would get hit by that stone fist and suffer for three days.

It was fortunate that I was hit with a stone fist.

When the master later picked up the sword, it really made a roaring sound.

Even when I was hit with a fist, cries for help flowed out of my mouth like a waterfall, but when I took up the sword, I didn't even have time to say such words.

“Ugh…….”

Wi Yeon-ho shivered as he recalled the terrible memory.

Anyway, since these guys are said to be unmanned and have a guarded attitude, I wanted to deal with them properly.

'How long has it been?'

It seemed like it was the first time I had ever held a real sword since coming out of the cave.

Holding the sword gives me a sense of peace. When I was in the cave, it was a sword I would have died holding, but after five years of not letting go of it even once, I now feel like it is a part of my body.

“Hit!”

Wi Yeon-ho's eyes sank low as he watched the black-clad men rushing toward him.

Wei Yanhu's sword slowly heads towards the center.

Stop tax.

The most basic of the basics that those who use swords must learn first.

As soon as he stopped, sharp blades began to emanate from Wi Yeon-ho's body.

The man in black intuitively felt that something was wrong.

Wei Yanhu without a sword and Wei Yanhu with a sword were completely different people.

I should have realized that fact a little sooner.

“Don’t be obsessed with vegetarianism.”

“I know.”

Wi Yeon-ho grabbed his sword, recalling the words of his master that he could hear in his ears.

The beginning is a floating mind.

You must not waver when the opponent's sword approaches. You must hold the sword with an icy heart in order to deal with all situations.

Next, put your heart into the sword.

A sword is just a sword.

You shouldn't rely on mere iron, but if you don't put yourself on that iron, the real sword won't start. The paradox of not relying on it, but trusting it, is the basis of the sword.

Next is the head, not the chest.

Optimal swordplay, optimal distribution.

It was the recipe for perfect black cool reason.

Wi Yeon-ho's sword made a whooshing sound and began to slowly shake from side to side.

Woohoo.

Wei Yanhu's sword, which had been shaking slowly, began to tremble suddenly, and soon spread out like a ray of light, enveloping Wei Yanhu's entire body.

'what?'

The man in black was so surprised that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

What kind of harmony is that!

But there was no time to be surprised. The hundreds and thousands of sword shadows surrounding Wei Yanhu’s body began to emit a pure white light, and then they quickly spread out in all directions.

“Whoa!”

Although he was thoroughly trained not to scream until the moment of his death, he could not keep his mouth shut at this strange incident.

The pure white swords of light that erupted from Wei Yanhu’s body pierced through their bodies without fail.

Kwaaaaang!

And the remaining swordsmen soared overhead and destroyed the entire ceiling of the golden hut.

A bright light poured in.

dump.

dump.

Those who could not even approach Chae Wi-yeon-ho's body collapsed on the spot.

Wi Yeon-ho opened his mouth as he lowered the sword he was holding.

“I have cut off your vital energy and closed your martial arts, so you will no longer be able to use your sword. No matter what kind of life you have lived, you will no longer be able to harm others. You will pay the price for suppressing others in your power.”

Jin So-ah opened her mouth wide as she looked at Wi Yeon-ho, who was speaking solemnly.

Did that person have that kind of side?

Wi Yeon-ho swung his sword and tilted his head as if he was not satisfied. Then he raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Wi Yeon-ho shook his head as he looked at the hollowed-out ceiling, his mouth watering.

“My master told me to reach a state where I am not bound by the sword, but I still have a long way to go.”

Since it wasn't a sword, the sword spirit didn't move as I had expected. I was worried that someone might get hurt, so I shot all my remaining sword strikes up to the ceiling, and this is what happened.

It's fortunate that no one seems to have been hurt, but it would have been a real shame if there were any students living in the three-story building.

“Wow, the ceiling…….”

When Kang Cheon-rip bit the bubble, Wi Yeon-ho said with an apologetic expression.

“You should pay for the repairs. I didn’t do it on purpose, but I’m sorry.”

“Ugh.”

When Kang Cheon-rip finally collapsed, foaming at the mouth, Wi Yeon-ho shook his head.

This needs to be taken care of too, but it's not important right now.

Wi Yeon-ho frowned as he looked at the black-clad people crawling on the floor.

'It feels familiar, you know.'

When he looked back on his life, he felt strangely familiar with the Dark Sword, even though he had never had the chance to see it.

“Well, I guess we’ll find out someday.”

These people are not the type of people who will answer questions if you ask them.

He knew from his master how vicious those who use the dark sword are. In order to get them to open their mouths, they would have to be tortured severely, but Wei Yanhu also knew that he did not have the heart to do that.

It's better to give up even if you're a little curious than to waste your energy on it.

It's annoying too.

Wi Yeon-ho looked at them and then raised his head.

“Eek?”

Kwak Do-san met Wi Yeon-ho's eyes and stepped back in fright.

“Uh, so…….”

Wi Yeon-ho scratched the back of his head.

“Who did you say you were going to kill?”
