Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 249

Punishment, Destiny (6)

The blue silk bedding was wrapped around the room with a light blue curtain. It was the most luxurious and spacious room in the guest house annex.

The painting of the ten longevity symbols that Baek Mi-ryeo and Heon Won-chang had brought had the sun, mountains, cranes, turtles, and other things permeating it in an old-fashioned way.

They silently looked down at Jeongyeonshin, who was sleeping soundly like never before.

It was a calm face.

Her thick, neat eyebrows were still. Unlike her gracefully high nose, her slightly closed lips were pale and bloodless.

The boy’s sleeping appearance was unusually beautiful, but it was difficult to find any trace of Magwangikju’s spirit.

It was only after I lost consciousness that I was able to see the face of someone my age. That was because he was an extremely powerful master.

Baek Mi-ryeo, whose eyes were sharp, opened her lips.

“You overdid it.”

“yes.”

Cheongmyeong answered with an expressionless face.

Baek Mi-ryeo’s long fingers swept the hair behind my ears.

“The rank of the Gwibaeksin Sword was too high. It was no ordinary feat for a new black swordsman to defeat the elder lord of the Paegeom Sect. It was an achievement to begin with.”

“The second mission is more than enough. The rewards will be huge, right? It’s quite far to Yangyang, so if the news reaches Bonseong, everyone will be turned upside down.”

Heonwonchang touched the Yeongunggeon between his eyebrows and joined in on the story of the two seniors.

“I know you didn’t receive any rewards for the last mission. I wonder what the accumulated amount will be in return.”

“Why are you talking about something else? The main character has collapsed.”

A completely different tone of voice interrupted. It was Tae-Yeon-Ryong, standing with his arms crossed, blurting it out. The shadows under his eyes were unusually dark.

Magwangiljo did not answer. This was because he was reminded of an ominous situation.

The life span that their leader had previously mentioned. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a miscalculation.

Even though the aftereffects of the fierce battle between the two were varied, it was the same.

The islanders live very limited lives.

The heavens, which cut off the long lifeline, gave him infinite talents. Although Taeyeonryong’s situation was similar to Jeongyeonshin’s, the size of the talents that were revealed and the form of the talents were different.

This wasn’t the time to ask for advice. He didn’t know anything to begin with.

“Wouldn’t it be better to tell her something good than to just lie around? If she hears it, she might come to her senses sooner.”

Cheongmyeong said with a faint smile.

There was silence for a moment. The winter owls’ chirping outside the window grew louder.

Could it be that he was unable to go down south? It seemed to symbolize Ma Gwang-ik’s situation. The absence of a master was significant.

From the occupier’s point of view, the situation changed to one of being surrounded by Sima Wei’s territory.

Seonryong Jegalhyeon left before the branch leader arrived. He said he had to quickly report the progress of the matter to the Han-Jung Martial Arts Alliance.

The Sword Dragon Wiji Myohwa was staying at the Sobaekmun of Jongnam Seokgain Jang Gi-il.

It’s only Ma Gwang-ik.

within.

Baek Mi-ryeo licked her lips.

“We will secure the safety of our disciple, Jeong Hye.”

“Is that right? Just between us? Shouldn’t we start with Daeju right away? We’re not even against the Seven Great Clans, we’re really going up against the Thirteen Heavenly Clans.”

Taeyeonryong, with both hands clasped behind his neck, asks listlessly.

Cheongmyeong glanced at Jeongyeonshin’s face and stood up from his seat.

“We don’t know when our lord will wake up. And there’s no guarantee that his nephew is being held captive in Shaanxi. We have to try. We can’t just throw away the clues we’ve finally obtained.”

“I guess I have to hit it and get out somehow.”

Heonwonchang muttered.

* * *

A manor with a huge mountain behind.

The signboard on the main gate had the words “Jungmyeongpyoguk (重明鏢局)” written in bold letters.

Countless people and goods come and go.

The noise was equally loud.

The sound of the wheels of all kinds of carts and carriages skimming over the stone floor, the rattling movement of wooden beams, and hundreds of warriors and laborers running around in well-made leather shoes. It was enough to make the famine seem insignificant.

“… … .”

But no sound was heard. Everyone was silent.

Because it was natural, I moved my luggage in an awkward silence, wrote down the list, and went outside without even entering the manor or stepping on the threshold.

It was the Seomse branch of ‘Yeoreung’ disguised as a flag.

It is widely accepted that he handles the most information in the Thirteen Heavenly Kingdom. He is considered to be a Haomun with a large military force.

They were the ones who revealed the true nature of martial arts in silence and manipulated the martial arts world as they wished.

There was even a rumor going around that it was Yeo Ryeong-ju who instigated the Paegeomjongju to destroy the Jongnampa faction.

There aren’t many people in the Jungmyeongpyo country who can open their mouths.

There were only a few subordinates, including the head who concurrently served as branch manager and head of the Pyogukju.

A room that is bright as if under the sun, despite being located in the heart of the country.

It was under the light of a lantern. Five people were sitting around a map. They all had a faint aura.

They were masters who had mastered secret martial arts and could use their sword skills silently even in fierce battles. They could be called the elite of Yeo-ryeong.

“There is a rumor that a dragon ascended to heaven from the seaside of Honghuafu in Fujian Province.”

The black-robed subordinate reported.

“Aren’t the stories of the martial artists different?”

“Yes, it is difficult to accept with human strength, but it is said to have been shown by some kind of supernatural power. It is as if there is a truly supernatural being.”

“Think back to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The Lord Wen said that there is no great exaggeration in the Great Ming Gangmok (大明綱目). Anything can happen in the world.”

“They say the government forces are controlling the docks there. It looks like they’re waiting for someone… … .”

“He must be a master of Ip Hwang Seong. The best masters of the Hwang family do not undertake dangerous tasks. If it were something of that scale, it would be a disaster… … Isn’t the only master left in Ip Hwang Seong the new sword master? But right now… Well, in any case, your branch is probably looking into it.”

A man in a yellow robe, like a merchant, was talking nonsense. But no one seemed to find him funny. The tension only grew stronger.

The best horse in Shaanxi, Wei Geuk Sang.

He is the leader of Yeollyeong Island.

After massacring hundreds of commoners who left their villages to seek land to farm, he came to be known as the greatest devil in the fertile lands.

Thanks to his extremely strange martial arts skills, he was able to easily avoid the pursuit of Ip Hwang Seong.

A person who has mastered the magic of the Central Plains, which is different from the famous martial arts of Xinjiang. Colorless, blazing energy waves constantly flash from his entire body while he stands still.

It was a demonstration of strength close to that of a mountain god, with the power of air waves that were only released in the Jungmyeongpyo country.

“By the way.”

He opened his mouth again.

“They say that the swordsmen of the Paegeomjong clan are picking a fight over something trivial.”

The woman next to him chuckled at those words. She was carrying a green sword like the Great Emperor.

“The child you adopted? The young one has an outstanding appearance… … Why is that?”

“I took him under my wing because he was of exceptional talent and origin.”

The woman nodded at Seomseo Jeilma’s answer.

“Of course it would be. He was the disciple that Jongnam Sword Master took in his later years… There must be another reason why that scary old man made a mess of the distribution. The child must have outstanding intelligence. If you don’t eat him, he will grow into a useful master in the future. Didn’t you bring him with you when you broke through the Plum Blossom Sword Master in the first place with that intention?”

“That’s not all.”

“then?”

“That child’s uncle. Isn’t there a monster with incredible strength that actually exists in Ip Hwangseong? I was still hesitant even after receiving information from the headquarters, but he showed up in the neighboring city of Hanjung and won the Battle of Jeongpa-maeng. He’s not even young yet.”

The woman shook her head.

“I’m starting to get tired of the story of Magwangikju. It’s been a hot topic in Shaanxi for more than a day or two.”

“It’s not like the leader of a famous sect. It’s something that wouldn’t normally happen. It’s understandable to wonder if there’s something in his bloodline. Since it’s the same for me. Let’s not even mention that Hanam Jeonggajang was a third-rate warrior. It’s understandable for the Geomchis to claim ownership belatedly. Before being my disciple, weren’t they prisoners?”

“Isn’t it great to be in the arms of the best horse in the world? There are few places in the world safer than that.”

“You are right.”

Suddenly, the first horse of the Yellow Emperor’s Shaanxi Province pulled out his sword. The orange light from the lantern hanging on the wall shot up along the sword’s body, and then shattered along with the ceiling that was crushed by the sword’s sharp waves.

bang!

“I thought it was going to happen!”

A young man soared above the ceiling. His footsteps, using the sword waves as stairs, were unusual.

The teachings of the famous school can be seen in the traces of refined law in the free movements of the body.

“Yeojocheonwangbo (麗藻天王步). He must be the scoundrel of the Hwangbo family. It seems like a little rat was eavesdropping.”

The best horse in Shaanxi, Wei Geuk-sang, was shocked.

In that moment, the surrounding subordinates and women scattered through the walls in all directions. It was because they anticipated the aftermath of Wei Geuk-sang’s single step.

I lifted my feet up and down calmly in place, and black air currents flowed out from my feet.

Heaven’s Chongmagyeol (天塚魔結) – reign system (君臨制).

Damn it.

The moment his leather shoes touched the floor, the surrounding area turned pitch black.

There was not even a loud noise. The structures in all directions were instantly reduced to ashes and collapsed. The range was incredibly wide.

The mountain range outside was revealed through the scattered ash-gray dust. It was a wave that was almost like a function. It was worthy of being called a divine being.

The Supreme Commander raised his head.

The new form of the Taeyeonryong was clearly visible in the wide open space. After discussing with his colleagues, Ma Gwang-ik decided to capture the enemy’s top-notch master’s attention.

The role is to hold out for a moment while Bo-shin Gyeong-nim and Heon-won-chang, who are looking for Jeong-hye, take advantage of the opportunity.

I made a sound on purpose. It was because one of my colleagues was discovered from afar. If I can’t stop Wi Geuk-sang, everything is over.

“Intruders! Twenty at most!”

“Strong! Don’t mix swords recklessly!”

Other magician masters barged in. The walls of the garden collapsed and all sorts of metallic noises rang out. The attack was carried out in an instant.

“Those pretty strong guys… have violated a place they shouldn’t have.”

The first horse of Shaanxi raised its sword and said.

“Die.”

* * *

As soon as Jeongyeonshin woke up, she guessed the details.

He collapsed because he had overworked his wide-open upper abdomen. The Baekhoe point on the crown of the head was directly related to the blood flow in the brain.

He had to examine everything from the experienced and highly skilled Guibaeksin Sword without even having time to adjust to the newly created method, so his head was likely to be under a great deal of stress.

‘Once you lose consciousness in the world of martial arts, everything happens quickly.’

I remembered the memory of being hugged by the Lord of the Heavenly Flame at the main temple of the Blood Flame Cult.

Jeongyeonshin woke up late and stepped outside.

He brushed aside the persuasion of Shin So-bin and Kang Chang-moo, who were sitting at the bedside as if they were carrying a sick person. After hearing the story, he nodded and urged them to find out the destination.

I ran out right away.

Hwaaaaak―!

A strong gust of wind wrapped around her thighs. The colorless waves of the divine wind god swayed more violently than ever.

Even though he has not yet invented lightness, he transforms into a tremendous propulsive force. He has sensually changed the way he moves his body and created a running technique.

grasp!

The ground pressed hard against her feet. Jeongyeonshin continued to run, ignoring the pain accumulated throughout her body.

Even though my whole body began to cramp, my pace did not change as I climbed the mountain. The pale sunlight of dawn was gradually becoming brighter.

It was called Hwiryeongsan (輝玲山) of Bongsangbu. It was a privilege of Iphwangseong Black, and he had memorized all the detailed geography.

‘Over there.’

The view opened up wide between the mountains.

Several wisps of smoke were rising from the manor built in the mountains.

It seemed as if Yeo-ryeong was right. Strange unmanned people were fighting for their lives with familiar colleagues. They clashed fiercely in various places.

Boom! Kwung!

The air trembled. It was a clash of waves. A sword fight like a wave battle broke out. White waves of light burst out from all over the place.

It was already a battlefield. The distinction between priority and causality came first.

Jeongyeon Shin discovered an overwhelmingly powerful wave of energy.

The swordsman of Wen Huangsam was relentlessly pushing back against the masters of Ma Gwangik.

He was a tall man, six feet tall. His black eyes were full of arrogance.

He fluttered his yellow sleeves as if he was joking and extended his sword, and the light waves extending from the sword created deep furrows like a compressed typhoon.

A dozen or so blue-haired masters, including Baek Mi-ryeo and Cheong Myeong, surrounded him and engaged in a wheel-fight, but he was pushed back repeatedly. The ground shook as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

To one side of them, Taeyeonryong, with his eyes closed, was lying at the feet of two white warriors. One of them was Jegal Qing’er.

The moment I caught sight of them.

Damn it.

Jeongyeonshin was standing on Taeyeonryong’s bedside table, enduring sharp internal and external injuries that squeezed her entire body.

He reached out his left hand toward the fallen Taeyeonryong. For a moment, his arm became hazy. He grabbed a bunch of flowers from the realm of the master. He brought it back as is.

Jegal Qing’er, standing nearby, showed a rare look of bewilderment.

“lender……?”

Jeongyeonshin did not answer.

She took a bite of a bright red poppy, the red petals crushing between her lips.

While glaring at the enemies who had suddenly arrived in front of him, he slowly chewed the stem.

With my internal energy, I boosted my stomach’s energy. The magical power of the light wheel spread its effects in an instant. The feeling of my whole body being enveloped in clouds was extremely addictive.

Jeongyeonshin thought. So this is what it felt like.

“Spread out to the left and right. When I penetrate the center, widen the penetration path. Leave Taeyeonryong alone.”

Magwangikju Seomyega spoke again. The trembling in his right hand holding the sword gradually stopped.

On the contrary, the hem of the pitch-black clothes began to flutter in the wind wave of the divine magic that enveloped his entire body.

The ripples that flowed out from his entire body swirled ceaselessly like black energy.

“It’s one step to the author.”

The air around them suddenly trembled. The enemies who had spotted the new enemy and were rushing towards him stopped.

Jeongyeonshin bit a new poppy petal between her lips. The surroundings became quiet for a moment.

It was a completely possessed sight. Silence began to spread across the overwhelming battle stance.
