Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 117

The Wheel of Power (5)

The entrance opened wide with the sound of the stone gate rubbing against the wall. Jeong Yeon-shin naturally lowered her hand, which was separated from the door.

At the threshold of the spring, traces of the Jin-gi diagram have already been collected in reverse. As is now the case, the key to the Jin-gi has been created.

“What does Samhal mean?”

Heonwonchang suddenly asked. It was directed at the man who was discussing the diagram of the treasure’s true energy.

There was a hearty laugh on the lips of the great warrior.

He never doubted Jeong Yeon-shin’s ability in the field of internal energy management.

Even if I hadn’t seen the opening of the stone gate in Chunyeok, it would have been the same.

“What, what… … ?”

The man who had been speaking formally stuttered.

He hurriedly looked around Jeongyeonshin’s body as if he was looking for a treasure, but anyone could tell that the boy’s two hands were in a state of shock.

I wasn’t holding anything.

“What kind of method did you use!”

He shouted in a panic. He was someone who did not have the knowledge to guess Jeong Yeon-shin’s method.

“Should I kill them all and leave?”

Dangryeolyeo came forward and asked.

As he was fiddling with his sleeve and staring blankly at Jeongyeonshin, the boy recognized the secret weapon inside her sleeve.

She is a noblewoman of the Tang family. Although she appears cautious in front of Jeongyeonsin, she has no hesitation in revealing secrets.

“Wait a minute! I am the illegitimate son of the chief of the police department, and I am Seo Gwon-il, the founder of the Shinjumun sect! If you treat me with respect, I will never forget your kindness!”

A man with a noble beard shouted with his lips trembling, but he could not move his body.

It was because the demon blood was stained by Taeyeonryong’s rough hands.

“Open investigation?”

“You claim to be an investigator. I guess you really are the branch’s son.”

A few of the Hwanikdae’s unmanned soldiers raised their voices.

They are all from the same lineage. They serve as temporary leaders.

Gaepara meant the creation of a new branch. It was a statement that the warriors of the Hwanikdae could not help but take seriously.

Because the term ‘Gaepajosa’ refers to the great master who founded a sect.

“What? Are you begging for your life?”

Jeongyeon Shin asked. She only turned her head slightly.

Shin Moon-ju’s beard rose slightly. He bit his lip.

“They say that the words and actions of the Minister of War are not like those of a martial artist, and indeed they are. I am not begging for your life. I am giving you a chance to show me a favor. Aren’t you originally the swords of the government?”

Is it because he is the illegitimate child of a high-ranking official? He saves face until the end.

There are all kinds of people in the Central Plains. As the continent is vast, each has its own unique common sense.

Each province that divides the Central Plains is like an individual small country.

It is not easy for a person of Ho-Gwang-Seong to understand the customs and values of Sacheon-Seong.

The same was true for Seo Kwon-il. It was a way of thinking that Jeong Yeon-shin had no reason to accept.

The boy turned around completely. No separate orders were given.

All I had to do was step toward the wide open door.

I felt the sharp, sharp slash of the Hongju Sword rising from behind me.

“Ugh… … !”

It was a convulsion at the end. Seo Kwon-il’s body collapsed.

They tried to enslave innocent craftsmen. It was a world of chaos. There was no shortage of reasons to kill.

“Actually, it’s hard to see the artisans here as commoners. They don’t pay tribute to the country and live in hiding. Are they really the people of Daemyeong? They don’t seem like the kind of people that Ip Hwang Seong would want to look after.”

It was Tae-Yeom-Ryong’s smiling voice. His unique, bored temperament sharply pointed out the weaknesses of the residents of Myeonggongdo.

While the breathing of the village chief of Chunyeok, Jang Jongmyeong, was trembling, Heonwonchang’s voice rang out.

“Even if they are not included in the tax system of the Ming Dynasty, they are also living in the Central Plains. If they are in trouble for no reason, it is right to help them. Of course, now that the Ming Dynasty’s path has been revealed to the world, I believe that in the future, they will also contribute to the livelihood of the Central Plains.”

“… … .”

The iron clans, including Jang Jong-myeong, remained silent.

It was the flag of the Emperor’s kingdom. He did not just embrace it.

The belief of Heonwonchang, who called himself Iphwangshinhyeop, was not foolish. It meant that it was not a justice that could be easily exploited by others.

The chivalry in the world was so diverse.

Jeongyeonshin walked silently. She pushed the face of Namgung Sejin, the blue giraffe, that came to mind absentmindedly to the side of her head.

‘Isn’t the question of how to live something you have to think about first, after surviving?’

I was thinking to myself.

Damn it.

The Hwanikdae masters followed the young leader.

The captured enemies were killed. They were in the hands of the Tang Dynasty warriors.

It seemed like he had received some kind of instruction from the Dang siblings.

Perhaps he had been ordered to support Seomye’s footsteps. Jeong Yeon-shin, who had mastered the introductory technique of Mancheonhwawoo, walked on without paying any attention.

Behind him, the eyes of the open masters, including Hougae, were fixed. It was a strange feeling.

* * *

The party easily broke through each area of Myeonggongdo.

With Jeongyeonshin at the forefront, there was no one to stop him from penetrating the Myunggongdo.

The masters of the Hwanikdae advanced like that. They truly galloped forward without hesitation.

It didn’t even take half a day.

He conquered Ha-yeok and beheaded the Sima Wei-du and Jeong Sa-ji-gan military officers stationed at Chu-yeok.

The majority of the elite of the thirteen thousand seemed to be in the eastern region, and those who remained in the three districts were mostly warriors from the small and medium-sized factions of the Jeongsaji clan.

Occasionally, there was a master of both the Pure Sword and the Ten Swords, but they were unable to handle Namgung Hwasin and Taeyeonryong.

So we arrived at the entrance to Dongyak. It was the last area of Myeonggongdo.

Jeongyeonshin stood in front of the stone gate.

He had placed his hand on the slot where he put the treasure, and now the speed at which he was scanning the traces of energy had noticeably increased.

A boy and girl standing on one side stared intently at Jeongyeonshin. They were the Dang siblings.

Dang Yeo-hwa and Dang Ryeo-ryeo’s eyes never left Jeong Yeon-shin’s. They had expressions that seemed to show surprise no matter when they saw her.

“Please, please be safe… … .”

Heonwonchang muttered. Hoogae, standing next to him, opened his lips.

“It’s a fleeting wind. I’m careful about what I say.”

“What did you say?”

“If you fell out of the group of Ma Gwang-ik, you would know very well. The level of martial arts of the group of masters who came from Sunmaryeon and Sipjeonmun is no less than Ma Gwang-ik. Each of them is like that. Even in simple math, there is a difference of two times in strength.”

“… … .”

“If we fight properly, annihilation is natural. That’s why Ma Gwang-ik was pushed back so easily. It seems like he’s holding on because they’re all seasoned masters.”

He received Heonwonchang’s gaze gently. Hoogae continued speaking slowly.

“In the first place, the armed forces under the Shingeomdan were created to stand against the elites of the Thirteen Heavenly and the Nine Sects. On the contrary, the elites of one Daebangpa are worthy of competing with one Shingeomdan armed force. That’s how it looks from an outside perspective. I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to be annihilated in vain.”

“… … .”

There was no reason to argue over the facts. Heonwonchang kept his mouth shut. There was no practical benefit to be gained by continuing the argument.

“The kid from Gaebang is right. They are very strong. Thirteen thousand has always been like that.”

It was a voice coming from above my head.

Jeongyeonshin quickly raised her gaze. She didn’t feel any movement until the stranger opened his mouth.

“Mujae is amazingly bright. You, you, and you. It’s been a while since I’ve washed my eyes.”

It was a man standing upside down on the high ceiling of a public space, his two soles glued together by a strong nerve.

He nodded to the group. It seemed to be Taeyeonryong, Namgung Hwasin, and Jeongyeonsin.

‘no way……!’

The moment I recognized him, I was struck by an incredible spirit. He truly had a powerful presence. His extremely short stature was insignificant.

Jeongyeonshin guessed the identity of the middle-aged man. It was intuition.

If there was such an impressive master with the appearance of the Iron Tribe, only one person in Sacheon had heard of it.

“My name is Tang Yunhuang.”

A middle-aged man wearing a green robe said.

Poisonous King Tang Yunhuang. His name is widely known. His fame has spread from Sichuan to faraway Yangyang.

“Danggaju… …!”

The Hyeonwonchang fell silent. Tang Yunhuang and Tang Gaju, who had been hanging upside down on the cave ceiling, fell down suddenly.

With the ultimate power of the mind, he straightens his body in midair.

It seemed to be the secret of the Tangmun Secret, the Tiantai Nine-Hearted Body Technique, which I had only heard of.

Swish.

There was no significant sound as he set foot on the ground. He approached Jeongyeonshin with soft steps.

The Tang siblings looked on in shock, but they didn’t even glance at their children.

“Magwangikju said. It’s better to wait for reinforcements. I didn’t know that an unexpected newcomer would come, but it turned out to be true.”

“I meet the owner of the house.”

Jeong Yeon-shin raised the ticket. She was careful not to give the impression that she was looking down on him.

The boy’s height had been growing rapidly recently. It was since he started performing his duties at the Yongbongjihoe.

The whole body was advancing towards adulthood. The head of the Tang family was just above the waist.

The corners of Dokgun Dangunhwang’s mouth slightly rose.

That was when.

Cool.

Tang Yunhuang coughed and vomited blood. It was a sudden hemoptysis. Dark red blood was dripping from his beard.

“… … Don’t worry about it. It just proves that my father’s hands were sharp.”

He said, spitting out the remaining blood.

The stock price.

He said he lost his wife to Sipjeonmun and Sunmaryeon.

He wanted to devote all of Sacheondangmun’s power to revenge, but the head of the Taesang family opposed it, so he broke away and left home.

‘It didn’t end with an argument.’

Jeongyeonshin thought.

It was unclear whether they had fought head-on or whether the Taishang family, who effectively controlled the Tang clan, had set a trap.

Originally, it was said that even the black color of the yellow color was looked down upon in the case of the Palgaju.

It was different now. I didn’t feel stronger than Margin.

The internal wounds were not healed.

For a moment, the image of my maternal grandfather, Mayeonjeok, overlapped.

They were those who moved forward toward what they wanted to achieve, carrying the burden of diminishing power.

“I don’t think we have time to talk for long. I want to help you. I’ll give you my strength to destroy those in the East Station. Honestly, I didn’t want to get involved in a fight I couldn’t win, but now I think I’ll give it a shot.”

Tang Yunhuang spoke. Tang Lili and Tang Yuhua hesitated and tried to approach him, but he turned away with a single word.

“The timing is not good. I have to finish the work of the master craftsman first.”

“… … .”

That was the end of it. The mission to rescue Ma Gwang-ik gained momentum.

Tang Yunhuang explained in detail about the Ten Commandments and the Sunmaryeon.

It was to the point where I could know exactly the status, martial arts skills, and numbers of those in the same group.

“You don’t need a jewel? You were born with the power of internal energy that is second to none. I’d like to see it in real combat. How do you use your talents?”

These were words directed at Jeong Yeon-shin, who had once again touched the groove of the stone gate.

The boy closed his eyes.

‘The moment the door opens, it’s a showdown.’

I thought to myself as I drew out the diagram of the real thing in my head.

I also recalled the path of the energy of the deep sky, which is now on the verge of completion.

From the time I received the Wolryeongjohwagyeol from Iphwangseongju until now, I have been holding on to it for a very long time.

‘I have to change the nature of Jin-gi all at once. Will I be able to achieve this in real life?’

I have come back to the starting point. The Dharma of the Diamond Sutra, the Wolryeongjohwagyeol, the Mysterious Demon-Cheonggangsu, the Marahonghyeolgong, the Jeonggadonggong… … .

Meanwhile, a friendly conversation between Heonwonchang and Danggaju could be heard.

“Isn’t your Majesty after the treasure of the East? They say that the true energy crystal of Master Dharma creates spirituality.”

“I don’t need it. That’s because I can make it myself. If you put your soul into it and strike the hammer, the weapon will become spiritual. That’s what is commonly called a divine sword or divine weapon.”

“Make… …? What exactly is spirituality?”

“It is a very weak idea to the human eye, but it is a power different from internal energy. It is a mysterious nature. Only masters who have reached the realm can handle it.”

“Are you praising yourself?”

“Just think of a toothless iron man repairing his own body. How great it would be to create such a new soldier. Like the giant Pan-gu in the creation myth, it would be creating life with human hands.”

Danggaju seemed to be a more cheerful person than expected. Unlike when he was dealing with his children, he got along well with Heonwonchang and Juk.

‘If you put spirituality into iron, it becomes a divine sword? Then, if you put it into martial arts… …?’

Jeongyeonshin suddenly had a thought.

The advice of Emperor Yi Hwang-seong flashed through my mind. It was a teaching that was in line with the words of Emperor Tang Yun-hwang.

[Incorporate your will into the flow you have created. If you breathe with divine power, you will ascend to the black rank.]

one side.

Guguguguguung!

The door opens at the boy’s fingertips.

A group of warriors worshipping the island’s Mu-maek drew their swords. The swords were drawn simultaneously.

A hazy halo of light was streaming in. The last area of the Myunggongdo was revealed.
