Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 467

The Great Battle of Jeolseol (2)

* * *

Jeong Yeon-shin was inwardly startled.

Because the thoughts flowed out of the body.

He never opened his lips as he galloped towards the shepherd’s yard, and of course he never said aloud the words ‘true doctor’.

I only thought about it with all my heart. The mouth of an educated person is heavy.

‘Is this the aftermath of the madness?’

The spirit within the body is out of control. It is the same reason why other peerless masters recite the name of the first ritual in their mind when casting the Gongwolmu.

It was after I activated Ipdo Gongwol. It would be right to say that it was a backlash after pouring all my energy into martial arts.

Gongwolmu is a life-saving remedy that can only be used once per fight.

My body was overheated with divine energy. Spirituality was overflowing from the acupoints all over my body, but it was calming down as time went on.

It was thanks to that that the thought resonated slightly.

‘Anyway.’

It’s not like I’m in perfect physical condition like usual.

In a way, it was natural. After all, it was the first sword and the sword that were mixed together.

Jeong Yeon-shin engraved in her mind what had just happened. She had just stepped into a state that the world called unparalleled.

There was so much to learn, so much to adapt to, so much to do. Ipdo Gongwol was literally the introductory art of Gongwolmu that Jeongyeonshin would build up.

That was when.

“You?”

It was the voice of Shin-ui, who had previously been harshly criticizing the Gang Ho-in people. At that moment, his eyes met Jeong Yeon-shin’s.

The eyes of the god, who had the appearance of a very young nobleman, were as blue as the sky.

“I see. I could guess from the rumors… that lump of blood is like this… … .”

A soliloquy filled with a strange dizziness.

Then, the god’s picturesque eyes slightly curved.

“I’ve never seen a gentleman with his whole body muscles as evenly developed as you. It’s also strange that he walks around with his bloodied body exposed as if he was being stabbed. Ah… I’m quite old for someone like you. Don’t feel uncomfortable if I speak to you in a low voice.”

“He is a gentleman, yes.”

“Your mouth isn’t moving just now…?”

“I have business with you, God.”

Jeong Yeon-shin, speaking softly, jumps down from the wall.

The people in the arena silently distanced themselves from him as he suddenly stepped on the ground. Each of them had a look of bewilderment on their faces.

Because it has been a long time since the counterattack was disrupted.

It wasn’t the usual state of hiding the aerodynamic waves. It was the result of my own training that had been polished to a purple color.

It was the aftermath of the fight with the First Sword of the Outlaws, and the valuable lessons learned from the new blood demon Jinmyeongjo were lost in the aftermath of the fierce battle.

‘Senior Jin maintained his dignity even after competing with the Sword Master for 519 seconds.’

It was when Jeong Yeon-shin realized her own shortcomings.

The corners of Shin-ui’s mouth rose slightly.

“Let me hear why you came over the wall instead of the perfectly good door.”

He speaks calmly even while facing Jeong Yeon-shin, who has her amputated arm draped over her shoulder.

Is his personality not different from what the world says? It is said that the god is very stingy towards those who hold a sword.

“I would appreciate it if you could show me your talents.”

Jeong Yeon-sin politely made the request while giving a nod to Zhuge Qing’er and Gongsun Min.

At this moment, not only Gongsun Min, who was younger than Jeong Yeon-sin, but even Zhuge Qing’er, who rarely showed his emotions, had his eyes wide as if they were going to tear.

The face of Jeong Yeon-shin’s return to life and appearance is both shocking. She is at a loss with a mixture of relief and bewilderment.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty… … .”

“Could it be that the rumors in the market are true…? If so, then the fact that Cheon Geuk Mun Ju was defeated…!”

“The current manager will rise. Don’t worry.”

Jeong Yeon-shin reassured Jegal Qing’er with a short reply and met Shin-ui’s eyes.

The old nobleman with the appearance of a young man was now looking at Jeongyeonshin’s left arm with interest.

“Let’s see. The Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian and the Hand Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian have been completely severed along with their acupoints, and the Yangming Meridian’s tip is hidden in the shoulder, dangling. Yes, the Three Yang Meridian that connects the arms has been cleanly cut off. The muscles, blood vessels, and such are still alive and flapping even in this state… .”

The expression on the muttering god’s face becomes strange. His face looks extremely dumbfounded.

“Neither the one who cut it nor the one who was cut are human. Even if you cut it to make it easier to attach, it would be difficult to end up like this.”

“I know there are many people who desperately want to receive medical treatment from the elderly. I plan to wait as I am late.”

“Are you saying that you won’t treat patients who have come from all over the world with cruelty? They will have to wait a very long time, not just a little.”

The god said with a faint smile.

The masked men who had been slowly backing away flinched at those words. They had completely lost their will to fight since Jeong Yeon-shin got down from the wall.

“yes.”

Phew!

Jeongyeonshin snapped her fingers and struck their blood vessels with the wind, while she felt something more than a clan from the eyes of the god. It was strangely different from the noble clans she had encountered in the martial arts world.

It wasn’t a sign like green leaves or a cool breeze, but something more fundamental. There was a strange and divine quality, like the rough bark of a tree.

I don’t even feel like I’ve learned any martial arts.

“tree……?”

It was Jeong Yeon-shin’s monologue.

Shin-ui’s shoulders, which had been smiling the whole time, flinched slightly. He soon put his luggage on his back and turned his back on Jeong-yeon-shin.

Unlike when he was dealing with the masked men, his demeanor was carefree, but that did not mean he had a gentle atmosphere.

“If it’s your pupil, that arm will be fine for three or four days. Don’t think I’ll be kind to you just because you’re a Hwangseong. I’m not denying your roles and sacrifices, but I fundamentally have a strong aversion to the idea of killing people. The same goes for those whose job is to kill people.”

“You want me to hold this for several days and nights…?”

“What did you just say?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

“Since it is not a matter of life or death, I will think about your treatment. As I said before, there are many people in Hangzhou who are in dire straits. In addition, there is a martial artist whose name is listed first on the list. How can a beggar call himself a divine being…?”

at that time.

Suddenly, with a loud thud, the ground split wide open. In an instant, the ground sank into a hemispherical shape. This was where the masked men had been.

“Elder.”

A soft voice rang out through the faint smoke.

A skinny figure walks out of the smoke. Instead of a military uniform, he wears a common yellow ginseng and carries an old bag on one shoulder.

A colorless light gleamed from both eyes. It was a man with a silent prayer wrapped around his entire body.

“Please keep your promise.”

The new emperor of the Mukshin Army said.

The Emperor’s ancestral home.

Jeongyeonshin’s eyes rarely showed great joy. On the other hand, Shinui, who was leaving with his back turned to him, raised his eyelids hesitantly.

“You said there would be a patient whose identity would be difficult to identify. Was that referring to Jeong Ga-ah here?”

“yes.”

“… A promise is a promise.”

Shin-ui, who shook his head, glanced at Jeong-yeon-shin.

“I will bring you forward a second time to begin the Q&A. This is a personal inquiry, so come to my office when it is daybreak.”

* * *

It was a very long night.

Jeong Yeon-shin did not sleep. It was because she had to share the story she had not finished with Myeolseomdaeju. The closing ceremony with Songmungogeom was short, but in the meantime, the world was in motion.

After Beomheodae, Yulhanangrang, and Aksurim found the hiding place of the Dark Heavenly Emperor and separated from Jeongyeonshin in order to prevent the completion of the Horongsulsik.

The seniors of Kangho were reluctant to send Jeongyeonshin alone, but even so, the manifestation of the snake and dragon was a problem of a different dimension.

All the great masters who have walked to Hangzhou may have to show off all their skills. I heard that Jang Moon-in from Qingcheng is also planning to join.

There are only three beings who have achieved Gongwolmu.

If you include the Dark Heavenly King in the Seven Sado Islands, there are five.

What was important to Jeong Yeon-shin right now was his recovery and recovery. As they left, Beom-heo Daesa and Yul-ha Nan-rang gave him great praise.

I have done more than my share by simply repelling the Cheon Geuk Moonju from Hangzhou.

And it was a shepherd’s den.

Jeongyeonshin and Shinhwang sat across from each other around a small table.

“You guessed my return. It’s hard to keep up with the insight of my seniors, Wonpyeongilgeomjang.”

“They don’t have much of an eye for detail, just like I do.”

“yes?”

“I only believe in purple.”

“… … .”

“I pulled the line for the second time for the questioning of the gods, but there is a problem.”

“Please tell me.”

“According to information received from the Bonseong Hangju branch, Shin-ui has only practiced medicine to Kang-ho-in a few times. His level of martial arts is also unknown.”

“I heard that he has a very sharp mind and has never been caught by martial artists.”

“Yes, it was the same when the Ip-Hwang-Ma-Ga lineage was cut off. The original letter asking for pulse diagnosis was ignored. Even though the previous Danju pursued him, he could not be caught. The ancient medical skill… It is not a talent that can be acquired through force.”

“You mentioned open-mindedness earlier.”

“To my dismay, he was faster. He had more than forty stitches in his abdomen, and it was a wound that no human could endure. According to his nature, he is the fastest man in the world, but he is also very impatient… Despite the gentle refusal of the god, he retreated without making a fuss.”

“Where have you gone now?”

“Hangzhou is the land of Taimosan Fortress, so I couldn’t figure out where he was going. I think he left a message saying he would come back again.”

Six until the opening ceremony.

It’s a battlefield that hasn’t been broken yet. If Jeong Yeon-shin finishes her recovery in time and joins, there will be seven.

After the fight with Cheon Geuk Moon Ju, there was a brief lull, but the momentum of the peerless masters silently covered Hangzhou like a distant winter cold wave.

Even if you pass the test, there are several prestigious schools that can capture even the most powerful warriors.

It’s very urgent. The air in Hangzhou is not like a quiet evening.

“I’m glad that Senior Shin is safe.”

“It was thanks to the high-ranking official. He asked me to do the job properly… … .”

“what…?”

Jeong Yeon-shin suddenly raises her head and asks again. It was an evening where the events that had happened were summarized in a quiet story, and some facts gave birth to another typhoon.

Saaaaa―

Outside the slightly open window.

The night sky ran blackly toward the morning.

* * *

There is a saying, “A strange director.”

It refers to a person with a strange personality or amazing talent.

Yeongchon Shinui was known as a person who possessed both. He was famous for asking a few questions before taking the pulse of not only martial artists but also those with known major flaws.

“You stole? Why?”

“The children were starving… They had already been beaten with sticks at the government office… … .”

“Get out of here.”

Hwaaaaak―!

Suddenly, a violent storm swept across the land, and the man who had been receiving medical examinations in the courtyard of the inner garden of Mokgajang disappeared without a trace. He had been blown all the way to the main gate of the outer garden.

“next.”

Another patient hesitates and walks out at the doctor’s call.

The questioning was repeated like that. If the answer was not to their liking, they were kicked out, but if not, they were spit on while sitting.

Occasionally, people with serious medical conditions would regain their health through magic and martial arts accompanied by dazzling light. It was literally a place where immortals lived.

All kinds of martial arts sects come and go to win the heart of the god. This is because the gate is opened by the god’s command.

It was the same now.

After several attempts in secret, they realized that their martial arts were ineffective against the gods. A group of warriors, each armed with flashy weapons, lined up in the village.

They watched the examination of the divine doctor so that he would not be stolen by the people of other regions, and so that he could properly feel the acupuncture points and improve the achievements of his studies. The number of them reached several hundred.

But no one opened their mouths easily.

It was because of the old man who was crouching with his back against the wall at that moment.

“… … .”

Nine strings hang from his waist. They are very old knots, but they are large and thick, unlike the small body of the old man.

On the other hand, the straw sandals roughly fitted onto the old man’s feet were exactly the same size as the soles of his feet. They were tight and uncomfortable, but the old man’s expression was peaceful.

He was the leader of the Dragon Head Gang.

A peerless master who is the first to receive news directly related to the state of affairs in the world, like a dragon’s head. He can be said to be a transcendent master in both position and martial arts.

If the master of the open house sits comfortably in a corner of the old building, the martial artists who are close to a local aristocrat have no choice but to remain silent.

It wasn’t even just open stocks.

Even though Taemosanseong Fortress and Cheon Geukmun were blatantly ruling Hangzhou, figures like stars shining in broad daylight walked in one by one.

A cheerful man in a blue robe with a hero’s hat tied to his forehead, a young girl wearing blue clothes as well, and even a young plum blossom swordsman from the Hwasan faction with a laid-back demeanor walked through the inner courtyard, and even the Danggaju Dokgun, who had defeated the Net Blade Master of the Cheon Geukmun in a distant village, was there with a silver hammer in his hand on short legs.

It is impossible to know what kind of message was passed between them.

In any case, Hwasan, Dangga, and Gaebong had to know each other. After they exchanged brief greetings, a suffocating silence fell.

The local martial artists who were considered strong in Hangzhou did not back down even though they were sweating profusely.

Maybe you didn’t like the atmosphere.

“Why are you just standing there like a stone pillar?”

The god who had raised one of the crippled men spoke casually. The open-minded man moved his wrinkled lips without even making eye contact with him.

“I’m tying the Missa Yeogu in my head like a knot.”

“What?”

“I really don’t know what words will appeal to the heart of the god. The sword wound I received from the swordsman of the other way around is getting more and more serious.”

“Why don’t you just attack me with martial arts? Do you know that I will support your dog-catching technique with both hands and feet?”

Shin-ui smiled and provoked him. At those words, Gae-bok-ju only smiled faintly while sitting.

“A beggar in a political party doesn’t use a club to ask for food from people.”

“Even so, as a martial artist in the world of martial arts, you’ve seen all sorts of things. Since you’re the first in line, you’re keeping your mouth shut, so aren’t these guys with swords just holding the weight? If you plan on continuing like that, give the next person in line a chance.”

“There’s nothing I can’t do. I can just intervene whenever I want.”

“That’s right. You heard that, right? Let’s talk about it.”

As soon as the divine word fell,

A one-armed man suddenly appeared and sat down opposite the table where the medical genius with incredible strength was sitting.

It was a nerve that moved through the moment as if it had the power of telekinesis. In an instant, the sound of people sucking in air could be heard here and there.

“… … .”

The sunlight streaming through the bare tree branches in the yard flows down the dreamy lines of the face.

A young man with his arm draped over one shoulder like a backpack. He naturally straightened his back in the place where many martial artists had drunk the bitter cup.

For a moment, a strange feeling appeared in Shin-ui’s eyes and then disappeared in an instant.

“Yes… Young Man Jeong.”

“Please ask.”

“I hate being teased. I also hate fighting.”

“I know it well.”

“I think that great power inevitably brings about another challenge. The sight of a blade cutting through a person’s skin is equally repulsive, as is the sight of someone blocking it and splitting the head of the one who threw the sword instead. This is an innate repulsion that goes beyond logic and reason. After all, I am a member of the National Assembly.”

“… … .”

“I have lived my entire life as I wished since I was born in this land as a great man. I have never done anything disgusting. What can I do if the scum of the world are eccentric on a day like this? I just practiced medicine because I like living, moving people.”

Shin-ui shrugged and continued.

“Your blood vessels and muscles, your entire body’s veins and twelve meridians are no different. Even if I were to stitch together your blood vessels and muscles, your entire body’s veins and twelve meridians, the scent of blood on your hand would only seep into my nostrils. It would be a hundred, no, a thousand times better to smell the blood of a newborn baby in a third-rate martial arts school that has never killed a human being. My nose is even sharper than that old beggar’s, and I can smell the blood accumulated by martial arts like a ghost.”

“I understand what you mean.”

Shin-ui smiles brightly at Jeongyeon-shin’s words.

“Still, you’re quite sensible. Since my senses are so strange, those blunt-witted, unmanned guys get angry even when I tell them the truth.”

“but.”

“hmm?”

“You have to put my arm back on.”

“… I guess I’ll take back what I said about communication.”

A deep wrinkle appeared between Shin-ui’s eyebrows.

“Are you trying to force me now?”

The air inside the room becomes cold and frozen.

Those who had been gossiping after recognizing Jeong Yeon-shin’s facial features became silent, and the faces of those who had a connection with him hardened seriously.

It is impossible for a person with a physical body to calmly endure the wrath of a living immortal.

Even the heavy burden of one purple arm hanging on the doorstep. But even in the midst of all this, the divine scolding continued.

“I deliberately poured out every word of my story so that you could understand, but why did the old man have to endure the disgust rising up in his throat and treat the arm of the swordsman, a person like you? Tell me why! Why on earth?”

“The world.”

The new sword master answered calmly.

“… … .”

The words of God cease.

A deathly silence spread through the room. Each word of reply was like a shard of ice thrown into boiling water.

In that vast silence, Shin-ui stared at Jeong-yeon-shin for a while without saying a word with his eyes that shone blue like those of other nobles.

Meanwhile, dazzling sunlight flowed like waves across the ground.

* * *

After the day and night had crossed over once, Jeong Yeon-shin covered the morning sunlight pouring into her face with both hands.

It was an unusually bright day.

Both his arms were intact.
