Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 246

Punishment, fate (3)

Yeo So-hyang’s eyes widen.

It was a moment.

Could it be because the opponent was the mortal enemy who had destroyed her mother’s land? A wicked feeling arose in Jeong Yeon-shin’s heart.

Haven’t you ever had a conversation like this? With a calm and indifferent expression.

―I was on my way out on a trip. I could see a land that was beyond my reach. Since fertile soil has always been prey to the tyranny of the world, your family was destined to be devastated.

―For that reason? There were many commoners in the house my mother chose.

– How pitiful. I cannot help but feel grateful for the help I have given to the lord’s noble cause.

The fierce battle with the thirteen thousand core masters has come to an end.

Jeongyeonshin cut off her only arm entirely. The senior leader of the Paegeomjong clan was much more famous for his swordsmanship than his self-defense skills.

He was not the type of person to endure the final moments of the Magwangikju with his bare body.

The winter sunlight that had been shining transparently in the sky swayed faintly on Yeo So-hyang’s right arm. The shadows that seemed to signal the end of the fight bloomed and faded repeatedly.

By all means.

“Keuh… … !”

A groan burst from the mouth of the White Sword. The corners of his mouth spasmed slightly.

The old woman’s previously lofty expression was shattered. The pain that had rushed out like a burn seemed to be gnawing at her mind.

The sword under my feet lost its strength. It began to fall.

“this guy……!”

Yeo So-hyang twisted her body. Only her torso and two legs remained.

Her energy, which had lost its way amidst the blood spraying through the air, burst out transparently. Even the remaining energy of the veins was incredibly large.

Jeongyeonshin clenched her left fist without letting her guard down. Her opponent was someone who had once been a rival to Purple.

Even those who have fallen from grace and time would probably have dozens of life-saving tools. They might swing their swords with their toes, so they must be completely crushed.

‘Ugh.’

I swallowed a groan inside my mouth.

The Cheongyeom Ilshik is a sword technique that completely matches the internal energy of the whole body’s veins to the sword path. It works all the muscles in the body together. As the final and final stroke of the explosive sword technique, the recoil was great.

My whole body was turning into rusty cotton soaked in water, but I couldn’t let myself be overcome by the resilience of the herbivore.

‘One more move. Just one last move… …!’

Even the wounds that were like scratching my entire body had to be used. My skin was getting cold due to the blood being blown by the cold wind.

Jeongyeonshin treated the bleeding as ice water. She tried to regain her senses by gathering the sharp pains like blades.

Phew!

As I fell with Yeo So-hyang.

Even this short time in the air is enough for a master. He struck her stomach with his clenched left fist.

thud!

It was a real explosion. The heavy waves struck Yeo So-hyang’s self-defense power. The texture of the advice was very solid. It was like an experienced master.

The loss of a large meridian had distorted the flow of internal energy, but he had firmly erected an invisible shield of true energy. It was not a weak internal energy barrier that could be broken by a single blow without strength.

Boom! Boom!

Jeong Yeon-shin did not stop striking. From her shoulder blades to her fists, she vigorously circulated the flow of Sihwa Mugeuksu’s true energy.

It felt like my blood vessels were being cut off. If it hadn’t been cleaned with a regular razor blade, it would have caused permanent damage, but it was meaningless to the Great Master of the flesh. It only made the pain worse.

The energy wave of the Nengbeop Gwangryungi burst out from his fist. It was the third wave of the Kwonhwa.

It is a career that blooms like a bouquet of flowers while being colorless and disorganized. It is a career that has been repeatedly developed through strength.

‘Your martial arts skills are abandoned.’

He slammed the sword into Yeo So-hyang’s lower abdomen. The internal energy barrier began to shatter along with the fragments of the light wave.

The qi of the Paegong Jin, which had not been in good chemistry, was released by the Neungbeop Gwangryungi. Soon, Jeongyeonshin’s fist penetrated all the way to the lower dantian.

Jeez, jeez!

The moment he brought his fist in, twenty-four strikes struck. Translucent flower petals seemed to flutter from the monster’s abdomen. They were all fragments of the light waves.

He shattered the self-defense energy and shattered the solid inner energy shell of the lower abdomen into pieces. Blood flowed out of Yeo So-hyang’s mouth.

The ground is rapidly approaching.

‘Don’t let your guard down.’

Jeongyeonshin bent her left shoulder, which was covered in blood. She didn’t have the strength to cast Hwan-gang, but Jin-byeok was enough.

He extended his last punch towards Yeo So-hyang’s mid-fight, whose wrinkles on her face were distorted like an evil spirit.

It was the Sihwamugeuksu Jaycho. The moment when all the remaining power flow converged into the fist.

His advice touched my heart gently.

The last of the aerodynamic force stretched out from the long-rotating halo.

Kuung!

A heavy wave of sound erupted. It dug deep and shattered the middle ground. I could clearly feel the crunching impact.

“Huh―!”

The moment the old monster let out a painful gasp, the two masters fell to the ground at the same time.

A dull thud echoed briefly through the new blades of grass, along with small drops of blood scattered around.

Yeo So-hyang’s right arm was curled up behind her.

The arm of the swordsman who dominated the era began to dye the dirt floor black. As if he had let out a loud noise.

It was a very disgusting sight.

Phew.

With a short exhalation, Jeongyeonshin slowly stood up on her knees.

The crowd watching expressed their shock in various ways.

No one was able to utter a sound, whether their mouths were gaping or their lips were twisted in a strange expression.

The legend of the sword of the White Sword has been broken.

“… … .”

Only a few breaths had passed, but everyone’s expressions became strange.

This was true for everyone, from the common people watching from all over the valley to the martial artists who approached the hill.

The old master of the Paegeomjong clan was defeated by a young rookie. Everyone saw the sight of his right arm being blown off and him being brutally beaten.

She has lived a long life as a top-class martial artist, even in the three great waves that have taken root in Shaanxi, but today, she came down to punish the newcomer and was defeated instead. It was a terrible tragedy.

The large, slow wind of the Daewolhyeop lingered with confusion, disbelief, and shock.

There was only one person who was free from the silence. Ip Hwang Seong Ma Gwang Ik Ju, disguised as Gwang Ye Chae Ju.

Jeongyeon Shin took her hands off her knees and straightened her bare upper body. Then, slowly and with difficulty, she separated her lips.

“It was a great, good dharma.”

“I’m glad I could help. It wasn’t a very pleasant memory, but the world is a strange place.”

Jegal Hyun, who had come up to the side, spoke. As the grand prince of the Jegal family, he was deeply shocked.

He thought that the upper echelons of the martial arts world might change within three years.

Sunryong Jegalhyeon thought of Ma Gwang-ikju climbing onto his fan at the main gate of Menghui.

‘I never thought I would make the eldest leader of the Paegeomjong faction like that… … Jeong Daeju’s achievements are truly great. It’s no ordinary thing. The entire alliance will be turned upside down. The repercussions will be different from the Gaepa War. It will be difficult to predict the movements of each faction.’

His eyes sank.

“You’re definitely catching that. It’s a strange feeling every time I see it.”

Taeyeonryong approached from the other side. It was completely different from the way he rushed forward in a desperate attempt to block Chaneumssangma’s attack.

The footsteps he took were almost eight-character long. However, his rascal-like demeanor did not last long. He suddenly stopped.

It was because a sword that had been lying on one side suddenly floated up.

I won.

Bogeom, who had caused Yeo-ryeong Chan-eum-ssang-ma to fall backwards and had placed a tremendous restraint on Gwi-baek-sin-geom, moved alone.

It was towards the cliff below. Jeong Yeon-shin, who was staring blankly at the sight, heard a strange voice.

―I have nowhere to raise my face, so I can’t approach you. I’ll come see you soon. Just don’t treat me coldly… … Please don’t do that. I’m sorry.

A voice that is somewhat hoarse, yet beautiful. It is a voice I have heard before.

‘Yeongcheon Sword Ghost Baekseogun. The sword lord of Hanamseong… … .’

There was a question in Jeongyeonshin’s eyes. She helped without context and left behind only an incomprehensible story. What is it?

He said he was a person with a connection to the head of the household. It seems like it wasn’t an ordinary relationship. Looking at today’s events, I think so.

Didn’t you receive the grace of salvation? The combined power of the Gwibaek Shingeom and the Chan-eum Ssangma would not be easily seen even by the leaders of other great sects.

Soon, he just nodded slightly. He wanted to give me a lottery ticket, but he couldn’t because he was pretending to be the leader of the Sapha.

But was that enough?

At that moment, Baek Seo-gun’s sword shook slightly. Then, as if nothing had happened, it disappeared like a ray of light down the cliff. Leaving behind only the sound of cutting through the air.

Jegal Hyun and Taeyeonryong, who were nearby, did not open their mouths.

If you have a connection with the top class of martial arts, you are considered to have the same level of martial arts skills as someone with a high level of experience. It is not a level that you can just pick on.

“Ugh… … .”

It was a sound like air being sucked out of one’s lungs.

The ghost of the white-haired sword, Yeo So-hyang, took a deep breath. She had collapsed at Jeong Yeon-shin’s feet. Karma had taken away both of her arms.

His left arm belonged to Jongnam Swordsman, and his right arm belonged to Ma Gwang-ik-ju. He was in a position where he couldn’t move his body because his blood pressure was touched right before he fell.

He couldn’t commit suicide. He could only make faint sounds.

Jeong Yeon-shin, who had been staring blankly at the monster, opened her mouth.

“I will interrogate you.”

“Huh, huh… that’s funny… … .”

Yeo So-hyang raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed as if she was saying that she wouldn’t be able to get a single word out. It was a tremendous determination.

He lost one arm and his lower and middle dantians were broken, but he still exuded the spirit of a warrior. The energy that had not yet dispersed from his body was also amazing.

Jeongyeonshin’s head tilted slightly to the side.

“You shouted loudly before the fight. Aren’t you embarrassed? What’s more ridiculous than the loser’s guts now… .”

Because she was truly puzzled, Yeo So-hyang closed her mouth as she trailed off.

Jeong Yeon-shin no longer paid attention to the old monster. As the leader of the Thirteen Heavenly Clans, he would not open his mouth during a normal interrogation.

‘I’m not good at torture, but… … .’

It’s okay.

The moment I turned my head, a pair of jet-black, wavy hair came into view. It was Baek Mi-ryeo, the swordsman of Ilyeongeommae.

He was running towards me with a worried expression on his white face. Even though the material was rough due to the disguise, the elegantly fluttering white hem stood out.

She possesses pure magical energy.

However, he did not show any emotion like his senior, Jin, the blood-blood lord. Along with Cheongmyeong, he was the most trustworthy senior in Ma Gwang-ik.

She will find out where Jeong-hye is. Injecting her with the true energy would be a terrifying torture.

one side.

“The Gwibaeksin Sword, the Gwibaeksin Sword has been defeated!”

“Not recovering… … No, isn’t he dead?”

“Another supernova has bloomed in the world of martial arts. He is almost like a monster with incredible strength.”

“Tell me! You have to tell me!”

A belated riot broke out throughout the valley. It was as if the world of Jianghu had been reduced to a miniature.

All around, the herons flapped their wings, and some of the crowd watched Jeong Yeon-shin and his party closely.

Damn it.

Jeongyeonshin walked away without saying a word. She glanced at the Gwibaekshin Sword and nodded briefly at Taeyeonryong.

Ignoring the question, “Should I carry you?” I stepped forward. The sunlight shining on the few remaining bushes sparkled noisily.

* * *

The Ming dynasty is an empire.

We will not neglect the livelihood of the people, which is the source of national strength.

If you leave alone the powerful people who wield their swords on the Great Ming Rule, the people will suffer, and if the people’s hearts become unstable or tribute is not paid on time, problems will arise in the governance.

So, the government and the martial arts world are inseparable.

They cannot be separated. This is because the world of Kangho is spread out over the people’s livelihood.

Even the black thug who makes a living by collecting rent from the inns and various shops pays tribute to the village’s Jihyeon.

If you don’t want to receive a visit from the White Warriors of the Imperial Palace, you have to do that. They have the force of a dozen or so ronin, and they come to destroy small sects on their own mission.

In any case, the moment the management reported to the Ip Hwang Seong, the signboards of various sects would come down. It was a bribe to prevent that.

bad year.

A time when the collaboration between corrupt officials and martial arts schools is more extreme than ever.

Doo doo doo―

A luxurious carriage ran through the streets, drawn by two fine horses, and a long cloud of dust formed.

The wide street was holding its breath. The windows of the shops and stores stretching out to the left and right were slightly closing or opening.

If you don’t want your neck to fly off, you have to act like a dead mouse.

The branch manager who had been watching for a while has now arrived.

The Battle of Bangpa in the Xi’an area of Shaanxi, which was close to a civil war, ended. It was time to adjust the order in which the interests of the big city were at stake.

Voices from the carriage mingled with the loud noise of the wheels.

“Gwangye Chaeju. I still can’t believe it. I sprinkled all my silver in sacks, and all those crazy guys disappeared. Under the ground, that is.”

“Isn’t that the nature of the Sapa Gangho? They destroy each other and are destroyed. What kind of faith can you expect from a group that keeps coming together and breaking up?”

“Is it because the head office’s calculations were insufficient?”

“No. Resurrection is just… … .”

“Just a joke. What a person.”

“Anyway, you must be careful. I heard that he is the leader of the Sapha who defeated the Gwibaeksin Sword. He must be an extremely vicious thug.”

“Don’t you know the origins of the main office? You know the lowly military people better than anyone else. Internal energy is a study that requires a deep understanding of letters, so if your martial arts are that high, you shouldn’t be an ignorant person. The saying that official duties are inviolable is something only those who don’t know the world say.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“There’s nothing I can do about the Daemyung branch manager who visited in broad daylight. I just need to pay a little attention to my conduct. You should keep your mouth shut. Don’t provoke my temper. Aren’t they the ones who will collect double the tribute?”

“Yes, branch manager.”

Then the carriage slowly stopped.

We arrived at our destination. We were in front of an inn with a separate building.
