Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 253

Rise (3)

A closed room with stone walls blocking all sides.

It was spacious and bright enough to accommodate a dozen people.

The ceiling was high. Lanterns were lined up, illuminating all directions.

“There’s quite a commotion. Look at the bells ringing. What the hell are these damned bells… … Should I go out and take a look?”

“Come on. We just have to hold our ground.”

There are four shadows that intermittently shake with the light.

They were swordsmen wearing green ginseng uniforms, guarding the girl who was sleeping on a bed near the altar. It was a border close to the market.

“Was Gi-woo overreacting? Yes, it was a shameless act of disobedience.”

“They’ll probably be a bunch of idiots anyway. They’ll probably be bandits who came to steal the flag.”

“They think their guys are the best in the nearby mountains. They don’t even know they’ve stepped into the hell of the underworld.”

It was a conversation between four swordsmen. There was no ups and downs in tone.

“I don’t think so. Those who discovered the spirit’s home would be worthless… … .”

“Isn’t the Queen Mother here? She must not have left yet since the child is here.”

“Well, yeah.”

It’s okay if it’s a little loose, because I’m just performing a simple mission in a top-secret location.

It is the job of protecting a child of about six or seven years old, and this is the deepest underground cave in the estate.

Because the walls are thick, it is difficult to detect their presence with just a little sense. There is no way Yeo-ryeong could be defeated by the enemies who invaded after seeing the signboard of the fortress.

Dealing with the affairs of the Great Wave is not easy. It would take months just to find it.

Even the most powerful warrior known as Wigeuksang is maintaining his position as branch manager. Even the heads of the Seven Great Clans of Xi’an will not be able to cross the threshold of the pavilion.

“If you just look at your appearance and bloodline, I would believe you if you said you were a child of the royal family.”

The woman in green ginseng glanced at Jeong-hye, who had her eyes closed, and said.

The sight of him raising his hand to the sword is a daily, solemn prayer, but it seems as if he is completely relaxed, yet he exudes the presence of a warrior from the Great Wave. It was the composure of a strong man.

“Isn’t he the disciple of the swordsman who died of dementia? He must be capable of trampling on Jongnam’s distribution.”

“They say that among the handsome ones, there is no one of low status. He may have the blood of a noble family flowing through his veins.”

“What would it be like if he were the blood relative of the contemporary Ma Gwang-ik?”

“Isn’t that an island? Even after reading the documents, I doubt its existence. No matter how vast the world is… … .”

“The great achievements of the young sect’s leader were initially accepted in that way. Think of them as one of the mysteries of martial arts.”

Small voices echoed faintly.

It was when Yeo-ryeong’s guardian deity warriors were having a trivial conversation.

“uh…….”

A young voice rang out. It was on the bed near the head table. Jeong-hye had opened her eyes.

She flinched and sat up, the light from the lantern casting a shadow on the girl’s small nose. The features of her young face were dense and distinct.

The masters of Yeo-ryeong glanced at Jeong-hye. Their gazes swept over the girl as if they were looking at a rare white porcelain.

“You’re awake.”

“I’ll probably fall asleep again in about an hour. How long do I have to babysit you?”

“It was said that it was until the truth was established.”

He is a disciple brought in by the best horse in Shaanxi, Wei Geuk-sang. It was the time when the great method of reviving Jong-nam’s internal energy into the true energy of the Heavenly Sword Demon was performed.

He gave elixirs such as Baeknyeonhasuo and greatly improved the circulation of internal energy.

Everything was done very carefully so as not to harm the child’s body. It was to raise her into a master of the spirit world.

Some kind of preparation was underway. It was natural for Jeong-hye to repeatedly fall asleep for long periods of time. Cheon-chong-ma-gyeol is one of the most outstanding martial arts of Yeo-ryeong.

One of the swordsmen asked with a smiling face.

“It’s time to get going. Is there anything that interests you?”

“On Jongnam Mountain… … .”

Jeong-hye opened her mouth absentmindedly. She looked half-asleep, but the thoughts in her small voice were still clear.

The female swordsman turned her head toward the opposite door.

“You want to eat tofu again? You really like it. I’ll have to tell the servant to prepare it properly.”

“I’ll go. I’ll check out the situation.”

The tone was casual. A faint tear formed in Jeong-hye’s eyes.

No one paid any more attention. Just a man stepped forward and approached the large stone gate.

bang!

It happened in an instant.

Suddenly, with a tremendous noise, the door was pushed open. A force beyond the limits of the flesh swirled behind the door.

The relentless waves turned into a storm and rushed in, and the man who suddenly encountered a shell on the door quickly hit the stone door with the back of his hand.

The reaction speed of the thirteen thousand masters was that fast.

“Ugh!”

The man with the sharp gaze let out a sigh.

The door, which had accelerated rapidly in an instant, was pushed forward, destroying the trajectory of my hand.

My arm, which had hit the stone gate straight away, returned to my chest and folded, but the light waves that had not yet burst from my hand swirled colorlessly and rattled along with the gate.

In the meantime, the man had to be pushed back against the wall. It was an act of God. The sound of the air being torn apart was incredibly loud.

Kuuuung!

He crashed into the stone wall along with the door, and his entire body was crushed. The aerodynamic waves scattered helplessly through the cracks in the door. It was an instant death. There was no room for a closer look.

at the same time.

A pair of worn-out leather shoes stepped on the threshold.

Damn it.

The front of his shoes shook slightly. He seemed to be staggering a bit. Blood was even spreading from the soles of his black leather shoes.

“Be on guard!”

“I’m in front!”

It was as if they were the thirteen thousand warriors. The remaining swordsmen reacted immediately. Even though they had experienced something they had never imagined, their movements were quick and nimble.

The three of them formed a triangle formation. Cheonjongwonryeonggeomjin (Heavenly Tomb Plain Spirit Sword Formation). It was the study of Yeo-ryeong’s vision.

A hazy current of air blew through the bodies of the masters who had lowered their swords. It was a wind mixed with dust.

Phew―

It meant the harmony of energy. It was the unification of the knots of the internal energy waves.

Sword formation is a martial art designed to properly utilize the power of multiple people. The more thoroughly you study, the more effective your combined attack becomes.

The Cheonjongwonryeong Examination was a season that boosted speed and swordsmanship thanks to the efforts of fellow students. It was a rare event.

grasp!

Three people rushed at the same time. Their movements were different from those of the previous warriors. The movement of pulling out their swords at the same time as jumping was extremely fast.

A hissing sound tears through the air. Three ray of light rise from their hands and shoot out like rays of light towards the intruder.

By that time the figure of the intruder was revealed.

Hair that hung loosely and absorbed the light of the lantern, eyes that looked somewhat lonely, a young face that was beautiful enough to not seem real, and an upper body covered in blood.

“Those bastards.”

He said.

A powerful wave of energy flowed out from the figure holding the pure white sword. Even though the translucent aerodynamic wave was shaking unstably, its presence was terrifying.

The embers of the lanterns danced wildly as if they had been struck by a storm. The shadows of the swordsmen who continued to strike the ground without stopping also scattered in all directions.

When the three sword strikes of the Heavenly Sword Sword Sword cut through space.

The intruder raised his left hand forward.

The air current of dust that had been floating gently became distorted. It was a sign of the water’s rise.

The energy gathered in his hand was incredibly powerful, and the speed of his internal energy was terrifyingly fast. Before the three sword lines could even touch him, an overwhelming light wave was charged into his heart.

‘Super expert… …!’

In a brief moment, the three swordsmen’s composure was disrupted.

But it was too late. A fierce storm had already raged through the streets.

Even though it seemed like they had just burst out randomly without any special rules, the waves that had fallen on them were like a typhoon made of blades.

The three swords that had been swinging at each other were pushed in all directions with a violent clashing sound.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk―!

Is this what happens when the Shaolin Hundred Steps Divine Fist is unleashed by a drunken punk?

The unorganized light file shatters and blows away the hazy air currents flowing through the swordsmen’s bodies.

The method of releasing the internal energy of the swordsman was truly extreme. Immediately afterwards, blood spurted out from various parts of the bodies of the two swordsmen who were engulfed in a colorless light wave.

“Cough!”

They fell and were pushed back with the same momentum they had been charging at.

He died instantly, with only his eyes wide open.

The surviving swordsman on the right stopped with a bewildered look on his face.

“Daeju, Daeju has disappeared again!”

“You big-headed sword! Do your job properly!”

“How can you follow the new law? In any case, they are right!”

Some voices were ringing out frantically from outside.

The swordsman who had been standing in the distance flinched. Yeo-ryeong deals with information. With just a few clues, she can deduce anything.

He, who had previously mentioned tofu in response to Jeong-hye’s reply, immediately realized.

“Magwangikju?”

I realized that the monster I had been jokingly discussing was right in front of me. I was once again in front of a powerful wave of internal energy.

Beyond the tension that suddenly came crashing down, the sight of Magwangikju Island’s hand absentmindedly lowering itself became faint.

‘How sensitive is the sense of smell that it reaches right here… … .’

The female swordsman laughed in vain.

I shared the mystery and the secrets of the rivers and lakes. Should I consider it an honor?

Kwaaaaaaaah!

An unstoppable wave of light swept through the swordsman. Blood bursting out in the translucent wind occasionally brushed past the lantern light.

In an instant, the wind that had cut off one of the lifelines scattered in all directions. Even before the swordsman had fallen, silence followed with the sound of someone falling down.

Only Jeong-hye had the right to push away the silence.

“ah……?”

A dumb exclamation escaped. The child’s mouth opened slightly.

Despite his young age, he was treated as a disciple of Jongnam Geomseon. He ate all kinds of sacred herbs and was taught Taoist scriptures.

He developed his excellent talents into something more intelligent, and after experiencing the great net of Yeo-ryeong and Pae-geom-jong, he even gained insight into the Dae-bang-pa.

Scary people.

So the scene before my eyes was like a dream. My uncle was a very dim person at home, but now he seemed the clearest in the world. Could it be reality?

“Hey, Hye-ah.”

It was nice to hear the soft call. The voice had become much deeper.

Even at a young age, Jeong-hye’s expression, which had been fearful that it was a dream, brightened with tears.

“Uncle… … !”

“It’s Hye-ah.”

Only then did Jeongyeonshin relax the tension in her entire body.

Even with the effects of painkillers, my body was not moving properly. I had no choice but to use the Gyeokjang that I had tried during the Blue Level Promotion Test at Heonwonchang.

I thought it was like lowering the Baekboshin Kwon, but it worked well because the enemies’ achievements were at a low level due to luck.

‘It’s fortunate that these guys can eat rice even with such achievements.’

I knelt down on one knee, feeling relieved inside.

“Uncle―!”

Jeong-hye, who ran towards him on short legs, was hugged by him.

The corners of Ma Gwang-ik-ju’s mouth formed a faint curve as he wrapped one arm around his nephew’s back.

Jeongyeonshin thought. Mother, I have protected the blood relatives from your companion.

“It’s okay. It’ll be okay now.”

The words that were meant to reassure gradually faded towards the end.

His eyelids were heavy. He stroked his nephew’s small back and closed his eyes.

There are three sounds of something jumping from behind.

The sharp yet refined wind, the deep and warm waves like the abyss, and the refreshing yet silent footwork. It was a magical light made up of Cheongmyeong, Baekmirye, and Heonwonchang.

“This uncle is a little sleepy… … .”

He whispered softly into Jeong-hye’s ear.

I’m not afraid of fainting like this. I’m just worried about my nephew.

“Don’t be surprised.”

Soon, Jeongyeonshin lost consciousness.

* * *

The inside of the room was gradually becoming more organized.

The leader of the Hwasan faction stood still, carrying his luggage on his back.

“… … .”

The Holy Sword of Yulha. Yulha is so beautiful.

The ends of the pink robes fluttered long over the white sandals. They looked natural, even though they didn’t match the rough dirt floor.

The title Nanlang (娘娘) is not commonly used. It refers to a Taoist deity.

“This is luggage from the upper part of the central plains.”

“Move over there. The government troops will handle it.”

“Use your nerves properly! Move quickly!”

The presence of the peerless master was transcendent. He made everything possible without doing anything.

The surviving enemies either committed suicide or surrendered and became laborers. They had already lost their will to fight due to the fight between Ma Guang-ik-ju and Shaanxi Jeil-ma.

Under the surveillance of the unmanned forces of Ip Hwang Seong, they moved here and there. The Yeo Ryeong branch office, which had been disguised as a sign, was dismantled in an instant.

“I got involved with the swordsman Sim Mu-ryeon.”

Yulhanangrang slowly moved her lips. She clenched and unclenched her hand, which had been filled with magical energy for a moment.

“I thought you were going to live in Mangjong, but you’re embarrassing me.”

Many of the Ma Gwang-ik drones were occupying one side of the surrounding area.

Magwangikju was lying on a sleeping bag that had been lined with a dozen layers of blankets, and she scanned Seomye’s face with interest as if she was looking at a delicacy.

“More beautiful than any sword. If I were to have s*x with this child, I would be able to easily go down the wall of the valley. My throat wouldn’t get choked up.”

“Master, please tone it down… … .”

The young Taoist priest, who was looking down at Jeongyeonshin with concern, muttered. It was Yuhyeon, the volcanic dragon.

The masters of Ma Gwang-ik gave up their seats but did not talk to each other. The disciple of Ip Hwang-seong was originally famous for his unapproachable temperament.

They gave their full attention to their overlord, each lowering the volume of his voice.

“The level of internal injuries is enormous. Moving further from here is impossible. We need to worry about the possession of the coin.”

“I don’t know how he moved. I don’t understand how he was able to wield such power with this body. It’s driving me crazy.”

“hmm…….”

“… Who dug up the seat next to that bastard Hwangbo Mangnani?”

“This is the bastard’s grave, wait until he wakes up. He must know his sins and go.”

“Didn’t you say that the Paekgeomjong and Blood Flame Cults are moving? First, we need to get out of here. What should we do…?”

It was a serious conversation.

It was the same until Yulhanangrang suddenly opened her lips.

“It seems right for someone with outstanding Gyeongsinbeop to take charge of Magwangikju. As you can guess, his internal injuries are serious. He will need a long period of recovery just to regain consciousness, so seek refuge somewhere safe. The swordsmen and bloodthirsty demons who have been causing chaos in Shaanxi have been the responsibility of the main faction and Jongnam from the beginning.”

There was a certain absoluteness in his clear voice. There was weight in the words of the volcano’s long-spoken man.

The elders surrounding the sleeping bag silently looked down at Jeongyeonshin.

Her skin, which seemed to be particularly brightly receiving sunlight, her nose, which was as high as a warrior’s spirit, and her flowing eyelashes, which seemed to create their own shadows, created silence.

That was when.

Suddenly.

Magwangikju’s eyelids naturally rose.

The pitch-black pupils were revealed. They were sparkling with the power of the regular pupils.

“… … .”

The black eyes contained a dozen pairs of gazes.

Jeongyeonshin slowly opened her lips.

“…what.”

A somewhat cracked voice came out.
