Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 170

Implementation (6)

It was said that Sim Mu-ryeon’s group was divided into two.

Seobong-ro and Chiljunghyeop.

It’s not that far. It’s a three-day trip by air.

‘If I look at the information and rumors I received from Geomseong, Yeongcheon Geomgwi definitely has the power of an elder of the Daebangpa. I have to deal with him.’

Jeongyeonshin thought.

If it’s Taeyeonryong, it might be worth a try if you have the luck to face him. However, you’ll have to risk your life.

I had no choice but to be careful about personnel distribution.

Taeyeonryong must separate from Jeongyeonshin. The amount of energy from the Sunshin vein was enormous.

Leaving aside the density of the internal energy, if you only look at its size, it is superior to Jeongyeonshin. The range of detection of the ki wave is bound to be extremely wide.

If a group other than Jeongyeonshin’s group discovered Yeongcheon Sword Ghost, he had to take on the role of a detection tool that would return without engaging in combat.

“I understand.”

Tae-Yeon-Ryong nodded his head after hearing Jeong Yeon-Shin’s words. He did so with a grin.

It seemed that he thought he had been given a mission that would save face for Prince Hwangbo.

The boy wanted to change that thought. Even just breathing made him seem like a mean guy.

While he was desperate to live, Tae-Yeon-Ryong was enjoying the rest of his life without any regrets. He was a little envious.

“Keep the hierarchy.”

Jeong Yeon-shin said.

“Ah, so what I’m saying is that anonymity shouldn’t come before whiteness.”

Taeyeonryong glanced at Heonwonchang and snickered. Iphwangdaehyeop, standing next to him, cleared his throat and coughed for no reason.

At that time, the conflict between Gongsun Min and Murong Mingjun began.

“I should hang it in my room and show it off to my wife.”

Gongsun Min muttered as if he was singing a song.

He still looked at the sword hanging on Murong Myeongjun’s waist as if it were his own and smiled. It seemed like he had decided to go back and get it.

They are the nobles of Sega. There must have been some kind of transaction between them.

Jeongyeonshin didn’t want to care about whatever it was.

It was strange that he was going to use it as a collectible just because he had used it once in the water, even though it was different from the Chilsado.

“It is divided like this.”

The boy explained calmly. He was talking about tying up himself, Jegal Hyeon, and Sogeom-hu.

Then, Heonwonchang and Taeyeonryong said that it would be a good idea to lead Murong Mingjun, Gongsun Min, and Akyerim.

Jeongyeonshin’s pitch-black eyes scanned them once.

The warriors of Meng Hui, including Gongsun Min, did not avoid the boy’s gaze. However, each of them flinched at the hand they were using most.

“When you reach the end of life, you see everything.”

Taeyeonryong twisted his lips. The rascal Hwangbo Sogaju guessed their intentions.

That’s why I’m nervous. I wonder how I will be perceived by the mysterious boy, Go Soo.

The gaze of a master recognized as a genius had a way of intimidating the lesser players.

You will begin to recall the depth of your breathing and the accomplishments of the Dharma that are evident in your gait.

Even the most famous warriors in their homeland were like that.

However, that was not the interest of the boy in black robe.

“Do not engage in combat with the Youngcheon Sword Demon.”

The young Ma Gwang-ik-ju said. He meant that you should not wield your sword recklessly while intoxicated with a sense of honor. It was not a contemptuous tone.

Both his expression and his tone of voice were calm. None of the young men who had been angry for a moment could say anything.

Among them, a long arm rose up. Ak Ye-rim raised her hand and stared blankly at Jeong Yeon-shin.

“I don’t understand. In a situation where a minority is fighting an absolute majority, why do you have to divide the number of people…?”

“If we kill the blacksmith quickly, the number of common people’s sacrifices will decrease. It will also be easier to eliminate the rabble of Simmu-ryeon.”

Heonwonchang shook his head and answered.

It was a behavior that was just as hateful as Taeyeonryong’s. Akyerim raised her eyes and opened her lips.

“I don’t think it’s just because of that?”

“I know you well.”

“What? Speak straight. Don’t be sarcastic.”

“There are just over ten days left until the Gaepa War. It’s a bit tight to travel around and deal with the experts. But I feel very uneasy about spending a long time in a remote area.”

Instead, Heonwonchang, who had a serious expression, stretched out his finger and pointed at me.

“Your general commander-in-chief made a fuss during the meeting with our lord! And that’s not all? He told us to stay in the middle of the meeting and gave us Yunhyangwon as our residence, but it was in a place where we couldn’t even have breakfast in the middle of the night. I was worried that some crazy sect guy might attack us. There was no such heinous act!”

“… … It was a poor performance. I admit it. But, so what?”

Ak Ye-rim, who lowered her eyelashes slightly, asked in a much calmer tone. The corners of Heonwonchang’s mouth went up.

“I’m saying that it’s hard for us to continue to be apart. Do you know what you guys at the headquarters are going to do? They could suddenly change the rules of the Gaepada War with a swear word. For example, they could rapidly adjust the schedule.”

“what?”

“I can only guess how you feel. If you want to stop the powerful and hostile Ma Gwang-ik-ju from winning, there is nothing you can’t do.”

“The Murim Alliance doesn’t do such things. Who doesn’t know that it would be the laughing stock of the world?”

“Well, what do you think? It would be better than showing it off in front of everyone. I mean, seeing all the masters of your guild being defeated by a young master of nature.”

“… … .”

“The reason why I can’t delay is because of the evil swordsman, no… … Do you understand, Your Majesty? Don’t say anything about the title. Our great lord calls the Cloud Sword Dragon, Wizhi Myohwa, a great swordsman, but no matter how I look at it, your status seems to be lower than that of the Sword Dragon.”

Ip Hwang Dal-byeon said. Heon Won-chang was openly called that within Ma Gwang-ik.

It was a kind of small nickname, but he insisted on using Iphwangsinhyeop alone. In Jeongyeonshin’s opinion, both suited him well.

‘Can Taeyeonryong and Heonwon Sohyeop rise to the blue at the same time?

The martial arts skills of Heonwon Sohyeop have also improved considerably.’

The boy approached with light steps and tapped Heonwonchang on the shoulder.

So that Ak Ye-rim, who heard the insult, wouldn’t pull out the spear rashly.

“I told you everything, my lord.”

Heonwonchang took the lottery ticket with great restraint. His posture was particularly polite.

It seemed as if he wanted to tease the blind men even more. The boy slowly opened his lips.

“It splits here.”

“In my opinion, Daejoo has quite a strong bad luck.”

Tae-Yeon-Ryong said, carrying his bag on one shoulder.

“You might run into the Yeongcheon Sword Ghost as soon as you get there. Not me, but Daeju. Based on the rumors about the Igi Sword, it’ll be an incredibly strong monster. Don’t think about a quick attack or something. If you want to dominate the world of martial arts, you always need to have some reserves. If you get caught in a net while facing a hostile master, there’s no answer.”

“This is some advice that sewers should keep in mind.”

Jeong Yeon-shin said that she understood. Tae-yeon-ryong, who had lived in the upper echelons of the martial arts world since birth, smiled brightly.

“I will go there as long as I don’t die. If Seobong-ro is to the west, Chiljunghyeop is to the northwest.”

“You’re beating around the bush when you ask me to come help you. The swordsman is the main lord’s job. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

The boy answered.

It was a time when the sun was shining on the smoke rising everywhere. The party dispersed to either side outside the ruined village.

It was a footstep pursuing the group of Sima Weidao who were fanning the flames of chaos. Clearly, no one was watching.

However, it was something that had all the leaders of the Murim Alliance on edge.

grasp!

While the young masters were striking the ground with their swords, a mud storm arose. The resentment of the people runs deep.

A lively gust of wind blew through the gloomy, dead village.

It was a gallop by swordsmen carrying multiple swords on their backs and waists.

* * *

The headquarters of the Murim Alliance was in a festive mood every day.

The notices posted all over the Central Plains were showing their effectiveness.

It seemed as if all the martial artists in the world had heard the news of the formation of the alliance. The number of people flocking to the alliance was enormous.

“What a pity. A master from Iphwangseong fought against the Seonryong of Jegalse. I wish Dalpo had come earlier.”

“Don’t talk about that lightly. There’s a rumor going around that there are a lot of masters of martial arts in the market. If you’re not careful, you could end up in trouble.”

“Why is that so?”

“The young master of Iphwangseong was wearing a black robe. Didn’t you say you were from Namjikrye? You must have heard the nickname Seomye.”

“Of course. Surely… … ?”

The footsteps of the rich and the common people who heard valuable information continued unabated. As food became scarce, the value of military force also increased.

The great power also brought in gold and food. The Murim Alliance would soon become stronger than Iphwangseong in name and reality.

The alliance that gathered half of the entire world was a spirit that laid golden eggs.

All sorts of warlords filled the land of Hanjung. The guest houses and houses around the main altar were packed to the brim.

The night and day disappeared from the runway.

A gathering of the wealthy, with nicknames, and the scholars who wrote down the secrets of the many warriors in writing, as well as the warriors who did not have enough reputation to enter the main body of the alliance.

The voices discussing the world’s powers were loud.

It was a scale that even surpassed the Ip Hwang Seong Fortress. It was said that there were dozens of people who brought a group of carriages to Hanjung to settle there.

There were few who did not expect a famine. It was a time of famine. It was a time when there was no military force to protect even a single grain of rice.

The conversation between the merchants who had rented the entire building was endless.

“Can people like us really watch the Gaepada War?”

“I can read the text quite well. I’m not some strange merchant like you who doesn’t even know the Thousand Character Classic and does math. If the door on the wall is true, we’ll be able to see the Murim Alliance too.”

“Oh… …! I guess I can get some useful unmanned personnel. I’ll have to see it with my own two eyes. It’ll be hard to imagine the masters who will play a big role in the Gaepa War… … .”

“Rather than that, I want to see how the masters swing their swords. If I can get used to the style and atmosphere, I won’t be surprised when I hire a ronin in the future.”

“I should keep that in mind too.”

“I heard that the Iphwangseong High School is also participating as an envoy. This is the second, or first, part that we should pay close attention to. If Iphwangseong sets up a front here, we don’t know what will happen to the territory. People tend to move after a strong scene. Instead of here in Hanjung, logistics may be concentrated in Yangyang, where Iphwangseong’s main castle is located.”

“Well. Isn’t this the Murim Alliance that has spread such a large board? I heard that the Zhuge Family, who originally settled here in Hanjung, is the main force. Do you think they invited Ip Hwang Seong when they weren’t confident they could win? They must have their own plan.”

“That’s true too… … but the rumors about the young master of Ip Hwang Seong are not good.”

“I know. This body has gathered information from the land of Sacheon. If we are going to spend money and make a deal in advance, we need to predict the results, so let’s talk about it. The most talked about is Hwajungamwang Seomye and Eongajeilkwon (彦家第一拳), Hwasangeomjeol. In my opinion, they are the most powerful. The elders will not participate.”

“The leader of the plum blossom swordsmen came down from the volcano! That noble swordsman? I had no idea! Is he trying to stop the Sega’s monopoly… …!”

“If you were to invest, which one would you bet on? In my opinion, the safest option would be Eonhwaryeon. If it were Jegalse, I would start with Seomye and Geomjeol.”

“… … It’s really difficult.”

It was the center of upheaval. A new order of martial arts was emerging.

* * *

Four days passed.

Jeongyeonshin was accompanied by a man and a woman. They were Seonryong Jegalhyeon and Changbong Akyerim.

The swordsman originally thought of as Sogeom-hu ended up joining Heonwonchang and Taeyeonryong’s group.

As the personnel split, Jeong Yeon-shin changed the formation because he was concerned about the power of the opposing party.

‘If it’s a small sword, it will be more helpful than the spearman of the evil family. Hyeonwon Sohyeop and Taeyeonryong must be safe.’

It was decided as the Magwangikju. Black was the rank that had to take command. Considering the balance of power between the two groups.

When Sogeomhu enters, Taeyeonryong’s power becomes even more alive.

Before creating the Neungbeop Gwangryungi, Jeongyeonshin could not even guarantee a 60% win rate against Taeyeonryong, so the party that went to Chiljunghyeop would also be able to handle the masters of Daebangpa.

Taeyeonryong, the nameless disciple.

Although their qualifications were both excellent, there was a big difference in their years of service.

In the Yongbongjihoe, since they were all about feeling, Jeong Yeon-shin took the lead.

Even after growing further there, he was still a difficult opponent. It wouldn’t have been strange if he lost three or four out of ten fights.

That’s because there are many variables in a fight.

The interlocking of the compatibility due to the order of the internal attacks, the flow of air power that day, the subtle changes in the body according to the state of the veins… … The world of the masters was extremely complex.

‘Taeyeonryong has a bad temper and is good at provocation. If I were to be attacked, I would have to give up half of my efforts and start over.’

The boy thought. He glanced at the evil Yerim he had exchanged with Sogeomhu. It was a good decision for Heonwonchang and his party.

It was said that Sogeom-hu was a swordsman comparable to Wijimyohwa. There were also rumors that he had mastered the Jeomchangpa Sa-ilgeom method with utmost dedication.

If you work well with the martial artists including Taeyeonryong and Heonwonchang, you could even consider surviving against a master as high as Heuk.

“What?”

Ak Ye-rim glared at Ma Gwang-ik-ju’s gaze. Jeong Yeon-shin answered nonchalantly.

“You, welcome.”

“What a weird… … !”

The boy walked silently, not paying attention to the surprised Ak Ye-rim.

We had reached our destination. It was Seobong-ro in Hanjungbu.

It’s wide.

The bushes were neatly arranged on both sides of the wide road. The mountain ranges stretching out on both sides were clearly visible.

It would have been more correct to view it as a temporary garrison rather than a government post. It was a place where troops, merchants, and flagpoles on a long journey could stay for a day.

The tents rising above the evenly packed ground felt solemn.

Here and there, unmanned people standing guard were seen. They were wearing leather armor, which was unusual for a martial artist. A certain group had arrived.

Jeongyeonshin’s eyes narrowed.

I don’t need to guess hard to know. It was Sim Mu-ryeon’s martial arts army.

“It looks like they’re using it as an outpost.”

Jegal Hyun, standing next to me, spoke. His eyes sparkled as he slightly pulled out the iron wire on his waist.

It seemed as if the secret technique of the Zhuge family had been activated. An extraordinary prayer arose from the way he carefully examined the truth.

Is it possible to see through the inside of the tent?

Behind Jegal Hyun’s handsome eyes, a mysterious energy can be felt. It is the energy stored in the Dongjaejae point near the eyeball.

It was a sophisticated technique. It seemed like a study that reached the realm of sorcery.

‘It’s the law.’

The young Magwangikju’s eyes lit up with interest. The boy slowly opened his mouth.

“Just talk briefly. Let’s end this in a short fight.”
