Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 541

◈ Gangho People’s Book (7)

* * *

Jongnam’s disciple Ban Mu-il.

One of those who attacked Jeong-hye was killed by the plum sword. The other two were stabbed in the spot and became as hard as trees, and were dragged away by the royal guards. Even the blood was not absorbed.

“Everyone is mistaken! I have become a traitor to the powerful forces of this country! In the end, I was not recruited!”

“Me too. It’s just a coincidence, I’m willing to say anything about the North….”

Everyone’s words were like a river flowing from the mountains. But no one listened. The behavior of the experienced martial artists was completely useless in front of the Beijing people.

The long-eared, noble imperial master muttered eerily.

“untruth.”

It was a resolute voice like the night sky that covered the heads of the audience.

The boy who took the lead in saving Jeong-hye silently took the sword. The silvery blade disappeared into the scabbard with a click. It was the Jangmunryeongbu of the Hwasan faction, also known as the Jahashin sword.

Naturally, the owner of the sword was Yu Hyeon, who had taken over as the head of the Hwasan Jangmun earlier than ever before.

“… That’s fortunate. Yeonshin has already had a rough life.”

He patted Jeong-hye’s head once and then silently disappeared into the night air.

The prayer of the boy who had grown taller was different from before. It was silent and heavy. He didn’t even respond to the lottery ticket of Wijimyohwa right away.

“Plum Blossom Brother…?”

Jeong-hye called out to Yu-hyeon quietly, but Wi-ji-myo-hwa shook his head.

“Leave it alone. The Hwasan faction has been experiencing strange things recently. Rumor has it that the Holy Sword God has disappeared, but only the Hwasan people know the secret details.”

“ah…….”

“The main faction must first focus on its own affairs. First, please forgive me for not being able to treat you like a child. I am very sorry to say this, but…”

The calm and calm rebuke of Wijimyohwa fell upon Jeonghye.

“At least Sa-suk shouldn’t forget what happened to Yeo-ryeong’s Mine. How much blood was shed that day? And how many times was Eun-gong from the main faction injured?”

The child with the highest distribution in the Jongnam faction. Jongcheon-dong Jeong-hye is clearly a girl with a keen sense of reason. That’s why today’s events couldn’t help but be even more difficult to understand.

Now, many people in the neighborhood were viewing Jeong-hye as a nuisance.

A reckless person who is difficult to take any action against due to the actions of the new sword master. A wall-type bullet that cannot be touched rashly.

“If you move alone in the middle of the night like this and something happens, you can probably guess what will happen not only to your faction but also to the whole of Gangho, including Jeong So-hyeop. You’re already smart. But still… Private?”

The drawing stopped.

Jeong-hye listened to her words sullenly.

It looks different now. He has already fallen into a state of trance. The child’s eyes have lost focus.

[Come here.]

The voice rang out again. Only Jeong-hye could hear it. It was the repeated guidance through the child’s upper abdomen.

Jeong-hye stretched out her arms as if possessed by something.

Swish.

A small hand reaches for a large rock.

Hyoryeongam Hermitage in Jongnam Mountain.

At that moment, as the energies of countless masters brushed against the rock, a wave of energy rose from Jeong-Hye’s small palm.

This is the added energy of Jongnam Taeeulsimgong (太乙心功).

Damn.

It was a sound coming from the rock. The cracks that had been finely carved into the large rock opened wide, and three or four pieces of paper rose from the cracks riding the waves. It was as if the true energy of Taeeulsimgong was the key.

“… … !”

The royal family was the first to react.

Paralock!

A large woman narrows the space. Although she is not a eunuch, she was given the unusual title of eunuch by the late Emperor Qianling. The air trembled at the hem of her red-colored robe.

Without even giving orders to her subordinates, she grabbed the wad of paper. Immediately, a gust of wind blew out and roughly swept Jeong-hye’s hair back.

However, there was no one who had not mastered the technique. There were many masters who could infinitely extend the time of contact with skin.

For a moment, the papers that had been fluttering in the air caught the eyes of many in the audience. To be exact, the dense writing on the first single sheet of paper was engraved like a picture.

[Some enlightenment is like the seeds of a dandelion. They appear suddenly and disappear quickly, making the moment worth a thousand pieces of gold.

The insight that came to me was also like that, so I had no time to relax.

I am now ascending to heaven.

But I have a hunch that a disciple of the main sect will find this vision within three years.

He is the boy who broke the rock with his strong Taeeulsimgong.

You should keep it properly.

Until a swordsman who can speak to the dead comes.

Until a person appears who cherishes connections with the world and can exchange questions and answers with history.

He is the best swordsman in the world in this era.

If you have good intentions, you can cut down the troubled times with just one meal.]

“Jongnam Sword Selection… ?!”

Many people were muttering from a distance.

A large number of martial artists were surrounding the area. Each of them had a ghost-like appearance. Naturally, they were all famous martial artists who had been assigned a place in the Cheon Kyung Martial Arts Department.

They all quickly followed the sudden commotion. Naturally, they had to have outstanding eyes.

The rivers and lakes of famine.

In a world where the value of high-level martial arts has risen to the sky, martial artists must now use force to take away grains of rice.

A single sight was engraved in the colorless eyes of those beings.

“The dead Jongnam Swordsman….”

It discusses the world’s best swordsmanship.

The beginning of a sword technique that will pacify the chaotic world. It is even the work of a god who passed away after cutting down the gates of the powerful gods of Jongnam Mountain.

Who wouldn’t want that?

“… … .”

The noisy crowd became quiet.

Eyes being sucked into the eunuch’s grasp.

The wind at the foot of the mountain was no longer calm. It bent and twisted strangely here and there. It was a strange air current.

The most confident person was, of course, Jongnam Jang Moon-in.

Wijimyohwa opened his lips with clear eyes.

“Eunuch, this is a document from the main sect that Jongnam-jae discovered. Please give it to me.”

The eunuch did not answer.

She simply drew a line with her lips, but her smile was as sharp as her own ears. However, when Wijimyohwa met her gaze silently, she answered slowly.

“The reason the new emperor revived Jongnam is in this hand. You, Jongnam Jangmunin, should know your shame.”

The speech and actions of the most powerful man in Beijing were not overbearing. They were plain, as if they were just discussing facts, and because of that, they sounded even more authoritative. It was enough to make the surrounding martial artists hesitate.

“… … .”

At that moment, Jeong-hye gently pulled on the sleeve of Wi-ji-myo-hwa’s shirt. Then, she whispered innocently.

“Jang Moon-sa-jil, I want to go back to that school. I guess there is another meaning to shame.”

For a moment, the eunuch hesitated, but she did not hand over the wad of paper to Wijimyohwa. The eyes of the martial artists were also fixed on it, not moving at all.

The silence grew longer.

No one moves rashly.

Even the map showing the tombs of famous warriors, called Jangbodo (藏寶圖), often caused controversy in martial arts.

But what if the treasure itself, rather than the tomb, is right in front of you? If you are confident in your ability to see the world, you might be able to snatch the paper and enter the deep valley.

The strong men of Cheon Kyung Moo Gwa.

Their expressionless faces spoke volumes. It was clear that each of them was feeling the same impulse at this moment.

‘If a fight breaks out, there will be a lot of debris flying around.’

It was when Wijimyohwa hid Jeonghye behind his back.

Suddenly, the moon disappeared from the night sky. The clouds that had been tinged with a whitish light also turned dark.

It was a sight of a dark curtain covering the sky, and beneath it, a figure was standing upright with both feet together. It was as if he was stepping on one of the eunuch’s shoulders.

“… … !”

It was a woman.

She had extremely long hair that reached down to her back, and although it was ashen gray in color, it had a glossy sheen.

It felt as if it was emitting a dark light of its own. Even the moonlight that had just poured down was gathering softly in the woman’s hand.

As if taken from the sky.

Or maybe the moonlight that interrupts their hiding is annoying.

It was said that the Heavenly Swords would cut through the providence. At this moment, her pure white hands also appeared to distort the principles of all things.

If they had met head-on, it would have been different, but the eunuch who suddenly turned his back to the woman who appeared from behind froze like a tree. This was because the energy waves carried by the soles of the woman’s feet had taken hold of the blood of the demon.

“God, two… … !”

One of the royal masters spoke with a stern voice.

Shinto.

He is a lackey of the Northern Powers. His real name is unknown.

He was a peerless master who took all kinds of precious items from the Ming Dynasty across the Great Wall, and even escaped the eyes of the Qianling Emperor.

“There are a lot. It’s annoying.”

Her voice tickled the skin like silk made of the night sky. In an instant, many of the people in the audience swayed in their seats. The energy of the upper chamber was shaken just by hearing her voice.

But the woman’s gaze lingered in another direction for a moment, until she suddenly swung her long legs lightly as if she were taking a walk.

Phew!

The eunuch’s head exploded.

The blood that splashed in the darkness illuminated nothing. It only brushed past the woman’s white ankles and settled down.

She disappeared into the night air, her headless body lightly stepping away. Before she knew it, she had snatched the bundle of papers that the eunuch was holding.

The greatest thief of all time.

The king of the clans born with the dreamlike body.

She never comes out more than twice.

It was the only known rule of Shinto in the world of martial arts. No one knows why he behaves like that. Just like many peerless masters, he is only accepted as a monster.

dump.

The eunuch’s body was spread out.

The dirt floor, which was dyed a deep red, was no longer the Ming Dynasty’s stronghold. It was closer to the dry and parched land of the north.

Phew!

“I came leisurely because you asked me to just brighten up the place… but I’m late.”

An old woman holding a sword appeared in that place. It was from the direction that Shintu had previously looked. It was none other than Geomhu Geumseonseon, the leader of the Jeomchangpa.

Immediately after, the wrinkles on the old woman’s face began to smooth out as she glanced at the eunuch’s body.

A quick and temporary rejuvenation that restores her youth. Before she knew it, she had become a young woman with a somewhat self-righteous impression.

It was a skill unique to Jang Moon-in.

“If I let the evil spirits go like this, how can I face that shabby dog gang of Maga…?”

He muttered in a young voice and kicked the ground. The ground sank in an instant.

bang!

A new type shot out into the darkness, roughly scraping the ground as a storm swept in all directions.

That was the beginning.

“Let’s follow! You’re definitely the head of the store!”

“Dot-check…? If the inspector comes forward, wouldn’t there be a chance of winning?”

“They say that even the Lord of Iphwangseong had a hard time with the number of delegates! I don’t know if it’s true or not…!”

Transparent propulsion waves exploded everywhere. The martial artists followed Shintu and Geomhu and disappeared into the darkness.

The impact of the sword bead left behind by Jongnam Geomseon, a treasure that contained the method of swinging a sword, was similar to that.

“Your Majesty…!”

“Send a signal to His Majesty! Track him first!”

Kukugugu-

Dust was floating over the full moon that had regained its light. The cold winter night air was being driven away by the heat emitted by the martial artists.

The warlords of troubled times pursue the throne.

The direction was north.

* * *

Jeong Yeon-shin has never ridden a horse since he ascended to the purple ranks. Even without having to repeatedly fly and rest with his sword, the light-hearted ten-mile light sword made him faster than a fine horse.

The ever-spinning halo in his heart also gave him infinite endurance.

It was the same now.

Thud— thud—

At fairly long intervals, a loud noise erupted from underfoot. The dim light of the ten-mile light was continuously scattered to the left and right.

Jeongyeon Shin asked, slightly turning her head to the side.

“Can you bear it?”

“Of course. Where else can you find such a coincidence?”

Shin So-bin, who was riding on his back, answered quickly. She was holding Jeong Yeon-shin’s waist tightly with both knees, and at this moment, even in the area of incredibly fast speed, she was constantly wiggling her feet.

Subtle movements.

He was in the process of embodying each and every one of the rough thrusts that penetrated his entire body. The achievement of the Ten-Li Guangyo could only increase continuously.

Of course, it is a timeless coincidence.

Without exaggeration, if it was unmanned, most people would have been tempted.

But Shin So-bin asked a question with a fake smile.

“You said you didn’t choose me as a member of the Shingeom Corps. Are you sorry that you brought me here?”

“No, just.”

Jeong Yeon-shin mumbles her words.

Shin So-bin was the main force behind the madness that Ma Gwang-ik displayed in group battles. It was natural that she could not be completely removed.

However, today’s companionship is entirely due to the non-partisan faction. A place where all disciples had the faces of high-level practitioners. The sight was a quiet shock.

Jeong Yeon-shin wanted to teach Shin So-bin a little more. After all, she had learned a lot from her seniors across the door.

So I took him with me for a while.

Cheongmyeong and Ma Gwang-ik made a request and sent them back. Hyun Gong-jin decided to accompany them to Jongnam Mountain.

On the other hand, all the Ma Gwang-ik masters’ expressions became strange when they heard that they would teach Shin So-bin, but Jeong Yeon-shin wanted to become independent from the help of Cheong-myeong, which she had been trying to ignore. Because she was an adult.

It had been a long time since Baekyeondo had tied a letter to his leg and sent it flying. The destination was Iphwangseong Bonseong. It wasn’t something that was important right now.

Suddenly, Shin So-bin turns her head back.

“Hey.”

She asked, gently pushing away Jeongyeonshin’s hair that was stuck to her face.

“That directory. How important is it?”

[More than anything in the world.]

A bold reply came back without delay. It was a voice from a pair of horses following Jeong Yeon-shin.

“Is that all? There were some unexpected names though.”

[It is a ranking of assassination, and the fighting god owns the same book. The bloody wind that will blow through your martial arts world in the future will also be based on that register.]

“It’s a strategic treasure, huh? But Grandfather Gae-bok-ju isn’t even mentioned in it.”

[Bilbang-i is not a great warrior. He has no honor, so he is not even in the roster. He is a very annoying being, so he is recognized separately.]

“ah…….”

[You can ask more questions.]

Bukdo was originally a quiet person.

But whenever the directory became a topic of conversation, he became strangely active. He also used strangely sophisticated language.

A fact that comes across as eerie at times. That was because it was a monster that didn’t even show its face.

Jeongyeonshin didn’t care.

Because what mattered right now were the black seniors.

The Yeoui Heavenly Pearl and the Cheonryong Great Pearl, who were captured and accused of being traitors.

‘Is that it?’

Before I knew it, a magnificently built barracks was right in front of me. It was a military camp filled with extremely strict morale, and at first glance, it felt more like a martial arts world than a military camp.

In fact, countless familiar aerodynamic waves were felt.

It wasn’t an immediate job.

Kwaaaaang―!

Jeongyeon Shin landed with her feet splitting the ground.
