Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 406

The best of the best (6)

* * *

Jeongyeon Shin put strength into her eyes.

It was because of the forest wind that swept his face hard. The purple silk turban attached to his shoulders barely managed to stay put and just swung wildly.

Above the white line that mysteriously crosses the sky.

Jeongyeonshin was running along the tightrope like an acrobat. She was faster than ever before. She was even accelerating.

Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew!

The air is squeezed beneath my feet.

His stride was incredibly wide.

At every point where the soles of my feet touched, a whitish ripple spread as if I had stepped on water, and the shock wave that formed in a circular shape quickly disappeared behind me.

Light and airy ten-mile distance.

Now that he was running along the beam of light towards April Day, his vision was completely blurred.

It was because he had difficulty reaching a speed that was normally difficult. Even while he was activating the time-travel method, the scenery in the forest was not clearly visible.

‘I was lucky.’

It’s the same as when I dealt with Namgung Mujin.

Just like when he destroyed Namgung Mujin’s Gongwolmu using the Dark Night Warrior’s Gongwolmu, at this moment, it was also the Dark Night Warrior’s Gongwolmu that gave strength to the propulsive wave of the soles of his feet.

“Something’s coming. Wait… Is that a person?”

“Up! No, behind!”

“Standing in the air… …?”

“The enemy!”

There was a loud commotion underfoot.

The masters who had been forming a net of heaven and earth. More and more people were turning their heads towards Jeongyeonshin, who seemed to be running through the air.

There were more than a few who gave up trying to throw weapons such as spears or knives.

That is why the Pure God who crossed the sky disappeared in an instant as soon as he appeared in their eyes.

‘There are a lot of people. Is it Hwagwasan (花果山)?’

Jeong Yeon-shin felt the vastness of the Heavenly Net against the Great Sword Master.

The scenery below was faintly passing by his eyes.

There were warriors lying in ambush, crouching on a deserted path, using the Gwisikdaebeop, dozens of swordsmen sitting cross-legged in a formation with their swords resting on their knees, and even ronin pretending to be commoners in a haphazardly built village.

Everywhere you look is crowded with people.

It was said that Cheonrajimang was directly managed by one person.

‘Yeongryeongju… … .’

A peerless master with extremely sinister skills.

How many people in the world of martial arts can mobilize this much power?

Yeo Ryeong-ju is a character who rarely appears unless she is in a situation where she is sure to win. She doesn’t even have a face on her face.

Even though the nonpartisan high-ranking official has started tracking him down, it doesn’t seem like he will be caught.

Because it is nearly impossible to catch a master who has gone into hiding or is running away.

It is said that even Amipa’s long-winded story, which Jeongyeonshin could not fathom at a glance the depth of his martial arts, was unable to catch Sunmaryeonju in the end.

Didn’t the head of the Cheongseongpa faction also quickly give up on the pursuit and descend from Unhoebong to protect the village, only to encounter Geumsimunju?

The master who focused on escaping was truly an elusive being.

The same goes for the dark night battle.

At some point, the best archer in the world stopped helping Namgung Mujin. It must have been to save up some energy.

A personality that unconditionally prioritizes his own safety. At that time, he would have already considered running away, so the only clue to track him down was the traces of the Gongwolmu that Jeongyeonshin was currently stepping on.

Squeak!

It was above Jeongyeonshin’s head. The long cry of a bird echoed through the air. It felt very hostile to him.

Jeongyeonshin recognized the bird’s identity without even raising her head.

A strange and evil spirit that guided Jeongyeonshin to this land due to the small story of the dark night battle. It is a very famous spirit, and it is said that it is revered as a divine beast by the faded nobles.

‘It’s dangerous.’

Jeongyeonshin shattered the halo of his heart into pieces and guided the fragments to his skin. The moment his entire body was enveloped in a soft glow.

bang-!

My right shoulder was completely hunched back.

It was because I was hit by an arrow that suddenly swung at me. The shock that started from my shoulder and went down to my chest. Even though I clearly defended myself with a self-defense weapon.

Meanwhile, an arrow that failed to penetrate his inner energy barrier bounced off his shoulder.

Jeongyeonshin’s eyes were sharp. She was still running along the thread of the faintly shining April day.

‘The Dark Night’s War!’

The arrow contained a sophisticated method of self-defense.

Originally, it was a skill that was recognized as a mastery even if it was performed upon recommendation, but just now, the black arrowhead had very naturally skipped over the self-defense technique and exploded with the power of the arrow.

Arrived properly.

It has entered the mid-range of the dark battle. As an arrow travels a long distance, the energy it carries tends to disperse greatly, but that wasn’t the case a little while ago.

It seemed much easier to catch the ten-mile arrows that were shot from far away.

‘also……!’

Jeongyeonshin lowered her posture.

At the same time, an arrow grazed his ear.

In an instant, a thunderous roar like a barrage of artillery fire swept through the air, and Jeong Yeon-shin’s hair rose as if it was sucked into the path of the blast.

It was pure luck.

The speed of the ten-mile arrow was added to the arrow of the dark night warrior, which had become even faster. Avoiding the attack itself was almost a miracle.

‘You must avoid the head.’

The opponent has archery skills that can ignore even the highest level of self-defense techniques.

If you get hit near your ears by the master’s internal regeneration method, it will be difficult to maintain your balance for a while.

Jeong Yeon-shin is not yet the best swordsman in the world of martial arts.

However, the Dark Night Sword is acknowledged by everyone as the best bow in the world. That is what the martial arts world calls it.

then.

Crunch.

The tip of Jeong Yeon-shin’s foot, which was stepping on a faint thread, slightly turned outward.

A heavy weight is felt straight down my thighs.

It was an implausible act considering his speed, but his tendons were strong enough to withstand even such movements. It was a transformation that was planned that way from the beginning.

The weakness of the simple and clear style of the Seomyeo Mu-maek can be overcome with a change.

Although he had never used a proper spell because he was born with a transparent personality like a gentleman, he could be initiated at any time.

‘now…!’

A transparent shock wave exploded from the front of the ankle, where the Haegye point, one of the major acupuncture points of the lower body, is located.

Spot!

His new form, which had been shooting straight ahead, became blurred.

Immediately, a black arrow pierced through the bodies scattered like fog. In an instant, the air was torn apart noisily.

like that.

Interest flashed in Jeong Yeon-shin’s eyes as she reappeared.

‘This is the transformation of the nerve… … .’

I tried to use the propulsion wave that was only used for acceleration elsewhere. The trick wasn’t difficult. I just lowered my body and turned.

It was a technique of slowing down for a very short time and then quickly regaining speed like now. A series of events took place in an instant.

How would it look in the eyes of the other person?

It was said that Amya Jeonju possessed an eye technique that was worthy of the nickname of the best palace in the world.

He must be looking at this side clearly even now. If Jeongyeonshin was the dark knight, he would be very angry.

A faint satisfaction flashes through the eyes of the young man.

In fact, he was hit more by Amya Jeonju’s archery than by Namgung Mujin’s sword.

Could it be the difference between the 13th Heavenly King and the 13th Heavenly King? From the moment the Dark Night Lord began to flee, a secret anger was rising in Jeong Yeon-shin’s chest.

Today, we will use any means necessary to defeat the Heavenly King. Under the flag of the Ip Hwang Seong Shingum Sect.

‘With a just cause.’

Swaaaang!

Three black arrows flew at once.

It was a fierce archery technique that left three colorless tails in the air, but once again, the sound that rang out from Jeongyeonshin’s body, which had scattered into a hazy afterimage, was only one.

An arrow that falls down shattered with a crooked tip.

The two black hawks that barely grazed both sides of my body moved away, leaving behind a tremendous piercing sound.

Jeongyeonshin let out a long exhale. The shock filled her torn abs like lightning and shook her internal organs. The intense slam of the palace waves was getting stronger.

Even though the true energy of the Dark Night Warrior must have been greatly exhausted by the Gongwolmu.

The distance had narrowed. It was certain.

‘They’re all here.’

Jeongyeonshin did not stop her light-hearted dash.

As if he had written a legendary axe, he kept going forward, repeatedly becoming blurred and clear. As if his very existence had completely adapted to the transcendent Baekseon of April Day.

How long did you run like that?

Even though it was a season where the days were getting longer, the ground was already covered with spiderwebs. It was around the time when the reddish glow of the sunset was added to the long, fluttering hems of purple clothing.

Jeong Yeon-shin’s eyes, having endured thirteen of the sixty-seven arrows with her body, had become extremely sharp.

far.

I could see someone’s back, even if it was just a little bit.

The moment Jeongyeonshin recognized him, the distance between them rapidly became closer.

A figure walking along the street, stepping on tree branches as if they were flat ground. With faded white hair and a wide black robe fluttering in the wind, he was impressive in the way he carried an old-fashioned chest of drawers on his back and held a large long bow.

Chihwa Hongyo Palace (Chihwa Hongyo Palace).

The shape of a red tree branch bent diagonally. Although it may look simple at first glance, it is the symbol of the best archer in the world. It was as famous as the tagubong (打狗棒) of the Gaebongbangju, which has a long history in the sect.

-That’s amazing.

A rough and soft voice reached Jeongyeonshin’s ears.

Their eyes meet.

The dark field lamp with its ash-colored eyes moved, creating afterimages like the fluttering wings of a moth.

Before he knew it, he had aimed an arrow at Chihwagwangyo Palace and twisted his upper body. His arrow was aimed at Jeongyeonshin.

―You arrived too quickly, but would you believe me if I told you that this was a decoy?

The dark night warrior pulls the bowstring.

A crackling sound reached Jeongyeonshin’s ears. It wasn’t an ordinary tension. The vortex that spiraled out from the arrow feathers of the dark field warrior roughly scraped the ground.

Woof―

At that moment, the faint white line of Sa-wol-il-ro that Jeongyeon-shin was standing on rippled once and then seeped into the arrowhead.

Jeongyeonshin inevitably steps on a tree branch.

The dark night reaper seemed to be speaking with his eyes. If he had withstood the combined attacks of two peerless masters and killed only one person, he should have been satisfied with that.

At this moment, Jeongyeonshin’s self-defense skills were very faint.

That’s why he went on a chase even after fighting fiercely. This time, the arrow flying at him might completely pierce his body.

Under the taut air.

“… … .”

The two men’s light dashing stopped. They landed on tree branches a few dozen feet away.

Their eyes exchanged glances in the midst of the whirlwind of arrows aimed at the dark night sky.

The best players gauge their opponents.

Both of them were far from in perfect condition. They could not hide their weakened aerodynamic waves from each other.

“No great sect can remain intact without a warrior like you. Your death will be the beginning of the destruction of the Iphwangseong clan.”

The dark night warrior spoke in a polite manner. He seemed to be a person who had lived for a long time as a member of a faded noble family.

The best palace in the world with the greatest concentration.

The lack of emotion in his eyes was a sign that he had seen through Jeong Yeon-shin’s extremely exhausted state.

“Aren’t you ashamed? Even when you’re in a joint attack.”

When Jeong Yeon-shin asked quietly, Am Ya-jeon-ju’s lips formed a faint curve.

“It is right to seek the wisdom of the Heavenly Sword Master for the battle of the unmanned. To me, martial arts are nothing more than the cornerstone for rebuilding a ruined country, so the honor of the martial artists of the world is nothing more than trivial. Your Ip Hwang Seong is no different from me. When Po Kwai pursued the rioters, did he talk about fair play? I just turned that around on you.”

“You black bastard. You know yourself well.”

“… I pay tribute to the martial artist who broke through my obstruction and defeated Namgung Jeilgeom. As a martial artist, I was defeated.”

Then suddenly.

The dark night warrior let go of the protest without a second thought. With that simple gesture, the air was torn apart with a squeal.

The thirteenth heavenly king’s murderous spirit. It seemed as if he had decided to kill Jeong Yeon-shin at all costs. Even after the dark night warrior had flicked the bowstring, he was already pulling out the next arrow from the chest behind him.

All of those sights slowly entered Jeongyeonshin’s eyes.

A life or death decision, an arrow aimed at his forehead… … .

‘ah.’

Jeong Yeon-shin suddenly realized that Am-ya Jeon-ju was just as nervous as she was. They were all staring at each other so no one could look up.

Suddenly.

There was a sound of people falling between them.

It was an intruder.

It felt like a very refined use of aerodynamics. Perhaps it had been prepared while waiting for an opening. It took only a moment for the energies that had been completely blocked to be released in an instant, and for that energy to be sharpened into the shape of a sword.

A strange wave spread from the sword made up of the internal energy of the intruder wearing black robe.

It’s getting closer rapidly.

The sound of the hem of her clothes fluttering was elegant.

Kwajik―

There was no time to delay.

Jeongyeonshin’s foot pushed the tree branch away. The new type shot straight ahead, leaving behind fragments of trees shattered by the propulsion wave.

Wheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment Jeong Yeon-shin, who was using the Marajin Blood Attack, stretched his arm upward, the Dark Night Blood Magic Sword, known as the strongest sword in the Blood Martial Arts Division, was caught in his hand.

A dark red fog in the shape of a sword.

It was done while Jeongyeonshin’s new form was distorted in the air. It was the supply of the new blood demon Jinmyeongjo. It existed exactly on the path.

Jeongyeonshin struck the space with her sword.

“… … !”

A crimson line was carved into the air. A trajectory that horizontally cut through the black arrow and passed through the neck of the dark night warrior, flickering as a single line. The belatedly inflicted backlash brought down the head of the best palace in the world.

The sudden sound was eerie.

The dark knight’s head rolled on the dirt floor and he looked up at the sky with wide eyes. His face was filled with shock and despair.

Immediately afterwards, a corpse that had lost its balance came crashing down on top of him.

Saaaaa―

Early summer breathes out its dry breath.

The wind was gradually becoming cooler. The hem of Jeongyeonshin’s purple clothes fluttered behind her as she landed on the ground.
