Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 359

gallop (8)

* * *

The day has dawned.

It was the day of the wedding.

A crowd of hundreds of people lined the yellow road leading to the top of the mountain.

The transparent sunlight sparkled with dew above the bushes decorating both sides of the wide mountain path.

The gaps between the crowds were extremely long.

At the upper end, overlooking the lower part of the line, Fengjun Yi Shimyeong was carrying a backpack on his back, the hem of his blue clothes fluttering, and at the lower end, Jeong Yeonshin, who had come in as a guest of the Biyeokpangga, was standing silently with her eyelids slightly downcast. It was an intentional arrangement.

The gaps were filled by the deceased from previous generations.

The dust was swirling beneath the feet of those wearing fluttering robes, long robes, and silk long robes, and the invisible energy waves were equally strong.

The long-eared, handsome men and the old men with long beards were all like that.

In order for Jeongyeonshin to go up, she must pass through all the monsters of Biyeokpangga lined up in a row.

What they prepared was no ordinary ceremony.

The first part of the wedding ceremony, which could be called grand, was the bride’s arrival at the place where her companion was to be in a small boat.

The Biyeokpangga changed the water course into their own ranks.

It was to show off their power. To those watching them at this moment, on top of the ridge and below the slope.

This is the place where the King of Guimyeong takes the Lord of Seonmok.

When they heard the news, the crowds that were gathering up and down the ridge were numbering more than a hundred.

The ancestors of all clans. They looked at the Biyeokpangga lined up along the mountain path that was more than three hundred meters long.

“Just look at all of them. From the wind-borne army to the short-sighted Peng Mo, there are a hundred of them, old monsters who never grow old and die… .”

“You brought all the power.”

“If the Sunmok Lord can properly bring out the functions of the seedlings, he may be able to control this space, where his lifespan is short, as he wishes. Whether it be strengthening the stability of the formation or banishing a few who go against his will.”

“The situation will change.”

“Isn’t it a fearful thing? Now, everything in this land is at the mercy of the will of the King of the Underworld.”

“Today, I will take Bingbaek Cheonso-so, and I have the power and ability to protect her. I am the absolute being.”

“I wonder how the other members of the Twin Kings and Three Armies will react. They will definitely show up here… … It wouldn’t be strange if someone came out to try to steal Cheon So-so.”

“I think it would be better to take care of yourself today.”

The deceased who were in hiding.

They created their own order in a completely isolated space that clearly exists in the world but can never be found.

He arrived at this land after dealing with Taemosanseong, but after seeing the appearance of the Kyo-ryong with his own eyes, he devoted himself to training and survival. This was several decades ago.

No one could take their eyes off the mountain path leading to the wedding ceremony.

They had to see.

In order to live without any trouble in this land full of natural resources, you must understand the power structure of the Twin Kings and Three Armies in detail.

“Hmm? Look at the prince over there. There’s a greeting from the Emperor.”

“I am not the bald Cheonrimdaeju. I am a stranger.”

“I guess the rumors are true.”

“Is it really true that Geumsimunju opened the formation?”

Some of the many people in the audience were stirred by the sight of Jeong Yeon-shin.

The previous masters were not surprised by the presence of a single black person.

The mere appearance of a stranger made me furrow my brows, as it might mean the imminent appearance of the Golden Gate.

“Until Geumsimun… It looks like there will be a series of storms.”

“Meanwhile, that child of the Emperor seems to have complied with the order here. If he came to rescue the Lord of the Sunmok… … .”

“You’ve seen the power of the Demon King. Who wouldn’t give up after seeing those monsters?”

“The face of the Iphwangseong is beyond words. The same goes for the Cheonrimdaeju who is guarding the village.”

“Aren’t they children of the lower world, the lower realm anyway? If they interfere with the plans of the seniors of the celestial world, they will only suffer losses. That’s wise.”

None of the people surrounding the mountain path wanted to confront the Biyeokpangga. They just watched.

The masters of the previous generation are very interested in today’s affairs, but they are also leisurely.

“I was quite scared in the secular world.”

“It was definitely like that during the imperial reign. If you kill one, another one will come for revenge.”

“How could the seventeen black swords of the Shingeomdan reach here? It looks like that guy came here alone, barely hanging on to Geumsimunju.”

There are countless people who regard the mysterious land of the dragon as a paradise where transcendent beings who have ascended to the heavenly realm through martial arts reside.

It felt like he was far away from the affairs of the world. Even the old people who looked at the other great lord of Iphwangseong with pity after losing the Sunmok Ryeongju didn’t seem to care much.

Some of them, who appeared to be from Sima Wei Province, even had mocking expressions on their faces.

“Look at that golden water bottle. He is the immediate disciple of the Emperor of Heaven.”

“No matter how you look at it, she’s not a member of the royal family. What’s going on with that beautiful woman…?”

“I can see how you were chosen by looking at your appearance.”

These are words that are thrown out casually, even though you don’t feel any energy coming from Jeongyeonshin and you know that her body is quite extraordinary.

His words and actions testified to the animosity of the martial arts world toward Ip Hwang-seong.

Even though they reached the peach blossom village filled with nature, they were still unmanned in the martial arts world.

As Jeong Yeon-shin remained silent, the level of ridicule and ridicule increased.

Saaaaa―

A sudden gust of wind blew and scattered fine white fluff. Dandelion seeds. Not a single one of those tiny feathers from the pure white flowers would ever be able to fly outside.

Just like the previous masters of this land who made the sacred site created by the dragon their home.

“You talk a lot.”

Jeongyeonshin opened her mouth and continued speaking slowly.

“Old people who will die soon.”

A voice quietly echoing on the mountain path.

There was something more than aerodynamics in that very distinct voice. Was it the spirituality that was said to be contained in the divine power? The surroundings fell into silence for a moment.

Jeongyeon Shin stands here with the intention of bringing out the level of her martial arts skills, which she finds difficult to measure on her own, to the extreme.

The young man of Jeonggajang, who had been living in Iphwangseong, had long since felt a sense of stability that he had never experienced before.

From some point on, he began to accept the death of the unmanned guest of Ip Hwang Seong with melancholy. It was heartbreaking to imagine one of his colleagues turning his back on his true nature.

It was the same even if that someone was the Seonmokryungju Cheon Soso. Even a senior I had never had a deep relationship with felt closer to me than my second oldest brother, Jeong Joongsan.

That was the question.

While the previous masters doubted their ears, Jeong Yeon-shin looked at the distant Fengjun Yi Shi-myeong and opened her lips again.

“When are the parties coming?”

The old master of the famous clan with the appearance of a young man snickered.

“They’re already there. The King of Guimyeong and the Lord of Seonmok are having a wedding ceremony at the end of this road.”

“what?”

“You can show off your power, but there’s no need to take such a big risk of losing her. After the ceremony, you will come down from above together with our overlord.”

“… … .”

Jeongyeonshin opened her eyes wide.

‘Marriage. It is said to be the greatest promise in life.’

He thought.

This land is extremely dangerous. It is full of people who are familiar with sorcery. It is a purple world where you have to consider all sorts of situations. It is a place where people who use strange sorcery and martial arts are very common.

Sorcery is the study of creating mysterious harmony through mantras, and mantras are human speech.

The moment Cheon So-so utters the oath during the ceremony, whether intentionally or not, some kind of magic may be activated.

Just like the golden statue that once prevented Baekgi-rin Namgung Hwasin from harming the Namgung Se-ga’s military men.

Now, Baekgirin, who has surpassed his older brother Cheonggirin and is now looking down on Heukgirin, said that he has not yet been assigned to a mission in Namjikrye. This is because Namgung Se-ga is there.

I don’t have time.

Dandelion seeds with white feathers swayed here and there at the feet of the young man in black robe, who was aware of the pressing time. Then, they gradually began to rotate in a large circle.

It was a law of attraction.

The veterans standing nearby reacted immediately.

“How dare you!”

“Aheya of Ip Hwang Seong, stay in your seat.”

“If you act rashly, you may never be able to return to the Lord’s embrace…!”

Pooh-!

The old man’s large body, which had been threatening him with a backpack on his back, burst apart with flesh. This was right after Jeong Yeon-shin stretched out her right hand.

Then, a belated bang—a loud noise rang out, and a translucent circular shockwave flew in all directions, raising a huge cloud of dust.

It was instant death.

The previous master who had previously put the Iphwangseongju in his mouth did not leave his body intact.

“… … .”

Shattered pieces of bone and muscle brushed the gap between Jeongyeonshin’s hands. The sound of the shards of internal organs falling limply filled the silence.

He stared straight ahead silently.

As I cleared one from my sight, I saw another old man blocking my view. His eyes were wide open, and his wrinkled hands held a sword. He was a swordsman with a slender build.

The Iphwangseong Magwangikju took another step forward.

Lightness, ten-mile light.

The sight was reflected in the eyes of the old trees that filled the foot of the mountain.

Damn it.

It was a slow movement, like taking a walk. Could it be an illusion? It seemed as if the soft starlight was shining on the tip of his feet. Behind the light was an afterimage.

Jeongyeonshin’s new form became blurred and distorted. At the same time, the bushes that had been leaning toward him all fell in the opposite direction.

thud!

The land is shaped like a large circle.

Jeongyeonshin’s new form shot straight ahead, and the body of the old swordsman blocking his way was shattered with a loud noise.

Before the swordsman could strike, the hand holding the ring passed over the old swordsman’s abdomen.

The old man’s body could not withstand the shock of the waves for even a moment and was shattered and thrown in all directions along with the sword.

Kwaaaaang―!

A dull rumble, exploding waves in a spiral, a young man in black robes leaping along a mountain path, and behind him, blood spurting high… … .

It was engraved like a dream in the eyes of everyone present.

Two explosions occurred in an instant. It was a sight that was hard to believe.

Hwaaaa …

Jeongyeonshin tore the wind from her body. The black sleeves fluttering wildly tickled her skin.

In an instant, the faces of dozens of bewildered veterans entered his field of vision, surpassing the heads of a hundred people.

Jeong Yeon-shin, who had fallen to the back of the line, moved her hand toward her waist.

Sling.

The Murong Family’s meteor sword was pulled out, emitting a dazzling light.

As the fierce-eyed old monsters of the previous generation drew out their weapons and unleashed a tremendous wave of energy, Jeongyeonshin spun the halo of her heart even more fiercely.

Geomryeoseomneungsik, Simgeukgirin.

Choaaa …

A cold silver light was engraved diagonally. Jeong Yeon-shin, holding the Meteor Sword, cut through the entire bodies of the veterans who were rushing toward him.

The mystery contained in the straight line’s trajectory was not simple.

The technique of breaking the resistance of the atmosphere in an instant by fixing the handle, the tidal wave that exploded from the Cheonjonghyeol (天宗穴) of the wing bone to the elbow, the appearance of the atmosphere rippling transparently due to Jeongyeonshin’s full-body piercing.

“Huh!”

“What a waste of talent… …!”

Those who experienced the truly genius-like exhilaration rolled around with expressions of admiration. And then they died with those same expressions.

It was just the beginning.

Jeongyeonshin started to run again.

Phew! Phew!

The right hand held the long, extended Meteor Sword, the left hand was wrapped around the spiral current of the Hwan-gang. At the foot, a faint white light of the Ten-Li Light shattered like an illusion.

It was an extremely sophisticated feat.

One by one, walls made of people exploded and collapsed. Some were even split in half.

The blood caused a bright red spray. The hard, mysterious ground of the shrine burst open from time to time, gushing out and then crashing down.

BAM! Whaaa …

“Damage! It’s the top left!”

“Ugh!”

It was a tremendous breakthrough.

The previous generation’s masters were crushed and cut down whole. The straight line that had been guarding the wedding ceremony was crushed in an instant.

The soldiers of the previous generation who were pursuing from behind were unable to catch Jeong Yeon-shin’s back as she advanced, destroying the corpses.

In no time, he reached the end of the long line. Before he knew it, the only person in front of him was Fengjun Yi Shimyeong.

Although shattered weapons and pieces of flesh were raining down from behind her, Jeong Yeon-shin only had eyes for the two women standing facing each other at the edge of the cliff.

A woman wearing a red official uniform with a design of a crane, with her hair tied up high and a black hat.

A woman wearing a skirt of alternating layers of black silk and red silk, a hat over a narrow-sleeved Daehongwonryeongpo, and a reddish cotton thread hanging down.

The King of the Crown Prince took on the role of a man. A woman wearing a red official uniform and a hat. She had an aura that seemed to captivate those around her.

The woman with the translucent red veil over her face was the Lord of the Sunmok Mountains, Cheon So-so.

The moment his eyes met Jeong Yeon-shin’s, he opened his eyes wide, and the King of Guimyeong, who also glanced at him, smiled with his pink lips and reached out his hand towards Cheon So-so’s face.

Sarak.

It seemed like they were trying to take it off. It was the end of the ceremony.

“You’re strong, but you’re losing your cool.”

The voice of Fengjun Yi Shimyeong. It rang out quickly through the lips.

Hwaaaaak―!

Jeongyeonshin opened her eyes wide. In an instant, the lower part of her vision was filled with brown leather shoes.

It was Lee Si-myeong’s Wind Flower Four-wheeled Leg. The energy waves emanating from one leg were swirling around in all directions like a whirlpool, just like Jeong Yeon-shin’s entire body.

‘If I don’t accept this… … .’

It’s a season where a direct hit can lead to instant death. Even if you’re lucky, you won’t be able to avoid fatal injuries.

At that moment, the Meteor Sword was crying anxiously in Jeongyeonshin’s hands. The sword’s durability had reached its limit.

The other day, I had to endure countless sword strikes from Jeongyeonshin at the hands of Muronggaju, and today, I had to take on the skills of the veterans from the previous generation without any hesitation.

Time slowed down in an instant.

All sorts of ideas flowed through Jeong Yeon-shin’s mind like rays of light.

‘If it’s a winning sword… … .’

You will be able to reach the hands of the Demon King. However, at this moment, you will have to endure the fierce attacks of the previous generation of monsters and the techniques of the Wind Army.

It was an extremely dangerous situation to test a half-finished self-defense weapon.

The Gwimyeongpaewang and Jeongyeonsin, who had turned their heads toward the one who would become their companions, flinched as if they did not recognize them. The smug aura of the previous generation’s masters, who could feel a moment as if it were an eternity, flowed in from all directions as if they could touch them.

-Just die.

Lee Si-myeong’s thoughts rang in his ears due to his strong internal energy, and the long instep of the guy was about to break Jeong Yeon-shin’s neck.

The meteor sword roared.

A melody close to a song. Translucent waves spread out from the sword.
