Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 364

Ten Complete (5)

* * *

The night was blue.

By the time Jeong Yeon-sin and his party arrived at Xiahou Weijin’s village, the sun had set.

The pitch-black night sky was filled with faintly shining stars. It was unclear whether they were real or not.

“… … .”

In front of the cooled moru.

Jeong Yeon-shin saw the Dangga siblings standing in the dim night fog.

It feels like only a shell of a body remains. Even though she has a smiling face, she doesn’t have the liveliness she usually has.

With a complexion paler than the stars above his head, he looked solid as he stood on the ground, holding a hammer in his hand.

“I made a sword and died.”

Xiahou Weijin spoke in a calm tone. His voice was a little hoarse, perhaps because he had heard the news of Suncheon Yiju earlier.

The expression on Cheon So-so’s face, standing next to him, was also calm. Apart from not being related to the Tang family, it was probably because she had seen many of her comrades die while on duty. For a very long time.

Jeongyeon Shin was different.

He walked towards his siblings without saying a word.

Damn it.

Slow gait. Before he could even fathom how his siblings had met their deaths, the upper part of his head whispered an intuition.

Jeong Yeon-shin immediately realized what had happened.

‘Brain power.’

The power of the upper body was used to its limit.

He must have displayed abilities beyond his skill level in the process of forging the blade with strength, striking the surface of the sword, paying close attention to the delicate balance, and pouring his spirituality into the weapon. Just like when he first founded the swordsmanship.

Did the siblings feel it?

Death approaches with each strike of the sword with the hammer.

“We tried to collect the body, but it wouldn’t budge even when four men lifted it. The traces of the spirit embedded in your sword have taken root in the feet of the Tang family children.”

A short old man walked over and stood beside the dead siblings.

He was the village chief. He seemed to have an extraordinary sense of humor, as well as a wrinkled face. He glanced at King Shinsoohye and then at Jeongyeonshin, and could not hide his admiration.

“It looks like you’ve finally changed the order of this land. The Emperor’s castle is the Emperor’s castle here too.”

“Do you have any last words?”

Jeong Yeon-shin asked without taking her eyes off her siblings.

The village chief smiled bitterly.

“He told me that he would make a sword for the benefactor of the Tang family, so I had to tell him everything I knew about the silver mines in this land. After practicing casting and forging a couple of times, he immediately began to work on the bellows.”

“… … .”

“That was the end. Such geniuses… I’ve never seen them before.”

After saying that, he stared intently at the divine sword tied to Magwangikju’s waist.

Jeong Yeon-shin slowly took the lottery ticket from the iron-footed old man who was expressing his admiration without hiding it, and then quickly calmed down.

It means there was no will.

All that was left was a single sword.

Sarak-

Jeongyeonshin silently welcomed the night air.

The air was cool and refreshing, and at this moment, it was hard to tell where the tail of the wind ended.

“I guess I need to go in first.”

Hwang Bo-gon tapped his shoulder and walked past him.

Even though there was no one to show him where to sleep, he was ready to sleep anywhere. King Shinsuhye, who had heard the news of the destruction of the Hwangbo family, still looked calm and shameless.

I can’t read her inner feelings. The only time she showed her full emotions was when she was amazed by Jeong Yeon-shin’s transformation.

A character that is difficult to deal with alone, unless it is Jeong Yeon-shin.

Xiahou Weijin glanced at the back of King Shinshuhui’s head and opened his mouth to his junior.

“… I left the siblings behind because I thought their bodies would be damaged if I forcibly lifted them. Their bodies were so full of spiritual energy that they showed no signs of decay. If there’s no way to properly dispose of them, you can dig deep into the ground and remove them. I’ll help you if you need to.”

“Thank you for the advice. Take a rest now.”

Jeongyeonshin spoke softly.

Even though the tone wasn’t that firm, the black seniors didn’t say anything else.

As Xiahou Weijin and Tian Xiaoxiao took their steps, the village chief who had been staring blankly at the divine sword of Ma Guangyi Zhu also had to leave. He was held by the back of his neck by Xiahou Weijin’s large hand.

“He is my junior. He is close to the next purple of Iphwangseong, so don’t act rashly.”

“Okay, let go! Isn’t it your broad forehead that makes you so thoughtless?”

The dark silence that descended only lasted for a moment.

Jeongyeonshin opened her mouth slowly.

“Come out.”

“Is it getting harder and harder to fool people?”

A voice with a clear pronunciation and a rough resonance. The originally clear voice sounded strange, as if it had been forcibly scratched by the wind.

Bam-

Suddenly.

As he landed, the bottom of his pure white robe was revealed, and soon his entire body, including the silver mask that extended from his forehead to the tip of his nose, was brightly engraved in the darkness.

It was a figure that had a mysterious aura all over its body.

The leader of a famous sect.

“Are you out playing?”

The leader shrugged his shoulders in response to Jeong Yeon-shin’s question.

“There was a lot to do. I had to manipulate the Life Gate and Death Gate of this formation to block the Golden Gate from creeping in, check for traces of the Jiaolong… and sometimes I had to boost the magical power of the sorcerer who bound your wife to your shadow. This was almost a study that was almost against the grain, and I wonder if you realize that it was no ordinary task.”

“My ears hurt.”

“Indeed. You understand me as my only one who understands me.”

The dark blue eyes of the sect leader behind the mask followed Jeong Yeon-shin’s gaze and lingered for a moment on the Dangga siblings.

“Ah. It was because of those kids.”

“What?”

“The reason your wife was scared. The structure of the upper abdomen of the Tang family was surprisingly similar to yours, but after examining the acupoints, it turned out to be a collaboration between the Blood Flame Sect and Tang family.”

“… … .”

“You’ve been at the Blood Flame Sect headquarters for quite some time, haven’t you? Your good-looking wife made a messy diagram of the human body to look after you and handed it over to the Tang family, and the Blood Flame Sect leader and the Tang clan’s Supreme Master followed suit and created twins like that.”

“I told you. She is not your wife.”

“In it.”

The long finger of the sect leader pointed at Jeongyeonshin’s shadow.

“You’re hiding, shivering. It must be because you’re really angry right now.”

The head monk finished speaking with one corner of his mouth slightly raised. The sheen flowing like waves from his silver mask seemed to make his smile even deeper.

“Tell me what you think.”

Jeongyeonshin said quietly.

He sensed some intention in the words and actions of the sectarians.

It was said that some of the Sima Wei Dao’s strong men, who were good at provocation, would easily win a fight by drawing out the opponent’s blind will to fight with just a few words.

The same would have been true for Sogyoju. Unlike the Magwangikju of the time, he would not have grown up straight.

The leader clapped his hands, whether he knew what he was thinking or not.

Before I knew it, a sharp gust of wind was blowing out from Jeongyeonshin’s body, causing her pure white scarf to flutter.

“What a great feat. Even after turning the monsters of Biyeokpangga and Peng Yeo-ran and Lee Si-myeong into that.”

“The seniors have been very patient with the wind.”

“Anyway.”

The young leader waved his hands wildly.

“I tested my remaining stamina in case I had to deal with the dragon’s husk in the future, but it was completely useless.”

“Tell me more.”

“First of all, I was in vain. No matter where I looked in the formation, I couldn’t find a single dragon scale. It would have been better if I had left behind at least the inner sect.”

“I’m not interested.”

“Thank you for the comfort.”

The young leader continued speaking slowly.

“Anyway, now that I’ve seen everything there is to see, I have to go out. The moment I open the space to the outside, the remaining spirituality in the dragon’s formation will react.”

“In what way?”

Jeongyeon Shin slowly took her hands off the sword and asked.

Upon seeing this, the collarbones of the young sect leader dropped exaggeratedly. It seemed as if he was expressing his relief.

Even though Jeong Yeon-shin still hasn’t figured out the exact odds of winning against the cult leader.

“Keep in mind that the Yuan Ying Xin of the Dragon King might appear.”

“You came now?”

“Spiritual beings that have not ascended are very greedy. They leave prey that enters their territory alone, but they do not allow something to leave.”

Won Young-shin.

This is a state handed down in Taoism. The spirituality that amplifies the power of true energy becomes completely united with the energy of air through some kind of harmony, creating another body.

In the private sector, it was rumored that the shamanic Gogeom Jinin could perform the art of doppelganger.

How many people in the world would be able to receive the ten-dan-geum from two peerless masters who look exactly the same?

Then what about the dragon’s clone?

“Of course, it won’t be as good as the original, and it might not even come out… but it’s worth keeping in mind, right?”

“I understand.”

“Then, as soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I will set up the formation….”

“Two days later.”

“what?”

“I’m going out with the people.”

Jeong Yeon-shin said, still not taking her eyes off the Dangga siblings.

* * *

It was a breeze.

Xiahou Weijin and Tian Xiaoshao took the lead and gathered the people scattered throughout the formation.

It was said that it was a space that would soon disappear. Once the formation disappeared, it was difficult to guess what would happen to the people who remained there.

The Seonmokryung and Cheonrimdae were summoned.

Suncheonik, who had entered the formation about halfway, also gathered.

“That person is an islander?”

“Is it really possible to do the Biyeokpangga alone… …!”

A group of people, all of whom were close to sixty, were surprised by Jeong Yeon-shin’s appearance and gathered the common people.

Occasionally, those who came to steal the saplings that Cheon So-so had kept were defeated by King Shin Su-hye’s kicks as soon as they climbed over the village fence.

“I’ve never washed my face with gold powder, so it wouldn’t be a big deal if I went out and got some fresh air.”

Hwang Bo-gon, who lay like a vagabond on a high-rise fence, was a man who was not bound by Jeong Sa-ma’s martial arts order.

Even after hearing the identity of the leader of the Myonggyo sect, he only asked for a favor as if he were asking a coachman to pull his carriage.

Two days passed like that.

Jeong Yeon-shin spent two days and two nights with Yongbong Ssangdok. She sat cross-legged in front of the siblings.

He would sit in meditation with his eyes half-closed, and on starry nights, he would occasionally catch sight of the two people.

The starlight, rather than the bright sunlight, made the siblings stand out more.

Jeongyeonshin placed the divine sword on both knees and thought from time to time.

Will he be able to leave his mark on the world like Yongbongsangdok? The sacred sword that remains as the siblings’ legacy will become incredibly famous and will never be broken.

“Why don’t you wake up soon?”

It was above my head.

Jeongyeon Shin opened her eyes to the voice of the cult leader.

Under the orange-tinted twilight.

I could see the crowd surrounding me. It was so large that it was hard to count the number of people, and it was a mixture of warriors, iron people, and mixed-bloods from all sorts of clans.

Have the incidents that Jeong Yeon-shin has been involved in become widely known?

There was no one in the crowd who dared to open his mouth.

The sight of them looking at him with eyes filled with curiosity or fear. Unlike the outside world, everyone knew Jeongyeonshin’s true nature.

Jeongyeonshin got up from her seat. She placed the bodies of the Dangga siblings, who were still standing there, behind her.

‘There are a lot.’

A village where people are crowded together. It is the center of a crowd of people who are trying to get included in the magic show that the small cult leader will perform.

The presence of Xiahou Weijin and Tian Xiaosuo could be felt from afar on both sides.

A formation to protect the people. The scattered subordinates were on guard against the approach of the monsters who were trying to steal the saplings.

It was terribly quiet.

The young leader standing next to me spread his arms.

“I told you. It’ll be over in a bit.”

“okay.”

Jeongyeon Shin nodded.

I’ve already heard. The Dragon King is a powerful being who can freely move through eternity and moment.

“It’s really just a moment.”

The young leader opened his lips again like a nagging older brother or sister.

“There is a high probability that no one will be able to react unless you and I have an innate sense. Remember that.”

Jeongyeonshin thought with her mouth shut. The legs are long.

The sect leader’s lips turned up slantedly.

“Let’s start.”

The moment the leather shoes of the sect leader hit the ground once.

Kwaaaa …

Suddenly, a loud noise arose and a curved line began to run from outside.

The iron blocks of Jin Eun-gwang, which had been placed here and there along the long fence and served as legal instruments, were broken one by one.

It was literally a split second.

The incomprehensible letters and complex patterns from the ancient times were carved into the dirt, forming a huge circle.

It was when some of the iron tribesmen, who were sensitive to the elements, let out a silent cheer.

Hwaak-

Suddenly the sky darkened. It felt like all directions were plunged into an abyss.

There was a shadow of something.

Jeongyeonshin raised her head. The natural energy was so dense that it was scary. It covered the entire formation before anyone could react.

Woof woof woof woof!

A long, thick shadow was casting its mouth wide open from the sky, looking down at the ground.

Numerous teeth jutting out of a long snout, eerie eyes fixed above them, pupils that glittered like giant obsidian stones… … .

Unrivaled.

One head is nearly half the size of a village.

Jeongyeonshin’s eyes widened.

‘This.’

A martial world where all kinds of powerful gods, spirits, and absolute masters run rampant, with the purple color of the Emperor’s Palace in their midst.

“Dragon! Dragon…!”

“The Dragon God is angry!”

“Ah, no… … .”

“This can’t be happening!”

Many of those who panicked as if they had lost their souls disappeared momentarily without a trace.

The magic circle’s ability opened the invisible gate of the magic circle. The people in front of Jeongyeonshin disappeared one by one in an instant.

The line reached right in front of Jeongyeonshin’s nose before he could even blink.

“It really came out. Well, the magic circle has been completed.”

Immediately after the voice of the sect leader rang out calmly.

It happened out of the blue.

The moment when all the people in front had left the formation and even the new figure of the sect leader who had glanced up had faded away.

Kwaaaa …

The front was filled with a bright red lightning bolt. It was the breath of the dragon’s shadow.

It was incredibly huge. In an instant, the air was distorted into chaos, and the lightning struck right in front of Jeongyeonshin’s nose, spreading out a tremendous vibration.

By that time, Jeongyeonshin had felt the pull of the magic circle pulling her beyond the formation, but she slightly alleviated the magic power by turning the light wheel of her heart once.

Not yet.

There were siblings behind him. There were also commoners.

The moment when those who belatedly realized the relentless lightning strike inevitably let out harsh breaths in fear.

The scenery reflected in Jeongyeonshin’s vision became slow. The realm of super-rise.

Damn it.

Rather, it goes one step further.

He felt the urgent presence of his seniors rushing towards him, and he recalled the sight of his brother and sister bathing in the starlight, holding their breath.

Kwajik―

It was a sound that came from the heart.

A layer of the halo was peeled off, and countless fragments of soft light flowed out from the body.

At the same time, the blood vessels of the whole body breathed along the lines of the Mancheonhwawoo and wove a set of clothes with its starlight.

It only took a moment for it to wrap around my whole body.

Jeongyeonshin, draped in a silk garment of pale starlight, turned her back on the Dangga siblings and collided with a huge bolt of lightning.
