Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 559

◈ Five Swords, Six Stars (6)

* * *

In the space of the sound transmission of Whipoongnyeong, the ‘law of suicide’ was denied.

The old woman of the Yukwonseonggun, called ‘Yeomjeong’, and the strategist of the suicide are silent for some reason.

– King Yalyu, come to Heulju. I will personally fold the bones without sending a great envoy.

-How many years have you lived?

―Even among those who are reluctant to fight, there is a Yuk Won-seong-gun! Won’t you go with me to kill Mugok?!

Many northern kings have come to speak to Jeongyeonsin, but he no longer responds.

Now, the Northern King will no longer have to send his great warriors to the front and just carry the burden. At least, that is what the Northern Kings who face Jeongyeonsin should do.

But Namje was bold.

He was so angry that he neither threatened Jeong Yeon-shin nor tried to refute his words.

He simply spoke to the other Northern Kings in a calm tone, as if he didn’t care if they heard him.

―I advise the comrades in the south. If you are not deceived by Yul’s words, you should fully recruit the Northern Ice Palace as reinforcements to our side. The power of the Northern Ice Palace Lord at the time will become a shield of eternal snow for the fighting god who will return in the future.

After his voice left behind a message like a notification, he disappeared from the sound cave.

Yong-eum-sa-sa-wang delivered the news. The third-generation royal expert, Eung-gong, had escaped the territory of the Southern Qi together with Ju-gwang-singae.

In other words, it was a story of a proper escape.

“As you may have noticed, there is more than one sound cave in Whifungnyeong. Among them, there are a few that can be called the Northern King’s private secret lines, which cannot be easily overheard. They are different from the Southern Emperor’s, which prioritizes the speed of sound transmission.”

She said.

Jeongyeonshin listened silently and then opened her mouth.

“Your attitude has changed. Weren’t you Namje’s confidant?”

“Confidant? The North King’s…?”

The Dragon King bursts into laughter.

Her warhorse also trudged along, lying down with her master’s thigh cut off.

It was literally a spirit. Judging from the way it reacted to every move of the Dragon King.

I wonder if he uses cavalry techniques like Bukdo.

Come to think of it, Jeong Yeon-shin doesn’t know much about the ceremonial days of King Yong-eumsa.

It was different from Chigeukwang, who was famous for his self-defense skills throughout the Magic Realm.

If he is the Northern King who possesses the Gongwolmu, he must be a master who has reached the pinnacle of some new martial arts.

Of course, there will be things to check in some way. Whether as an ally or an enemy. As always, the path of life is full of many paths.

‘I also need to decide on the next level.’

Now, following the second ring of halo that has become considerably darker in the heart, the path to create the third ring of aerodynamics.

A path to challenge the magical power of the Dharma Realm (達磨之境) that was briefly experienced thanks to the Gongwolmu of the Geumsimunju of Sacheonseong.

It doesn’t matter which one you end up with, as long as you can enter a large city where many Northern Kings reside without hesitation.

The root was the law of the wheel of dharma.

Damn it.

Jeong Yeon-shin turned her back on the Dragon King, who was snarling at her battle horse, in a tone of astonishment.

“Yong-eum and Chi-geuk, completely bring in the Ice Palace Lord… Isn’t this an order from the Emperor? It’s easy for King Yelü to misunderstand. The arrogance of the Southern Emperor grows thicker as time goes by.”

She, too, seemed to have dipped her feet into the magic that Jeongyeonshin had unleashed like a goddess.

It is highly unlikely that the belligerent northern kings had any dissatisfaction in their hearts from the beginning.

In the south, it was like the thirteen heavenly lords were tied together as a clan and were killing people with ferocious natures.

‘I didn’t do anything special. The queen must have been the same.’

Jeongyeonshin slowly walked toward the couple of Binggungju. Bingje and Taeyeonryong. The whispering voices gradually became louder.

“I shouldn’t invite you to the North Sea. I thought I’d let you in as a guest because of your facial features, but oh, the old man is stopping me again. He’s covering his king’s face with his sword wind.”

“Madam, I don’t think you need to be so cautious.”

“Husband?”

“I might be better off than that sinister man. He’s also a good person.”

“Isn’t the masked person sinister?”

“Well, there is such a thing as temperament. Don’t I have a good eye for people? Just look at the ones I’ve filtered out from my wife’s palace… .”

“That’s why the character ‘神’ is attached to the name of the Sun Vein. Your husband’s upper abdomen is the best.”

“That’s not it.”

Magwangik, Shingumdae, and Taeyeonryong of the Ice Palace.

They are comrades and family who have crossed the line of death together several times. If they were not from the Ip Hwang Seong but from another sect, it would be right to say they are the four deaths.

So I didn’t have any unnecessary suspicions. I just thought it was absurd that he was serving someone else as his master.

If his father was Jeong Ban-ak, he would have been called a fool, but he was the swordsman of Iphwangseong and the death penalty of the martial arts world.

‘The Grand Master gave the mission, you said.’

The mission was to extend life. Literally, to extend life. Taeyeonryong seemed to be looking for a way to do this in the Ice Palace.

“… … .”

His hair, which is neatly arranged like a prince’s but somehow looks disheveled, and his silver-blue silk clothes suit him as if they were his own.

The ice petals that had once again become stuck in the gap looked like the spirit of the North Sea Ice Palace, not a poppy.

A woman standing one step ahead of him.

From the very beginning, he is clearly the master of the Taeyeonryong.

Her distinctive and distinct facial features would have originally attracted Jeong Yeon-shin.

Because he had facial features similar to that of his respected senior, Yeoui Cheonju Bukgung Ah. However, at this moment, the black hair flowing down to Binggungju’s ankles and fluttering was like a flag. A flag that would conquer Taeyeonryong and raise Jeongyeonshin.

She slowly moves her lips.

“What’s your business?”

It was an attitude of being wary of King Yelü.

The blue eyes of the Northern Sea Ice Palace Lord were now flashing with a colorless, fiery light. Jeong Yeon-shin had a feeling.

If they split the hand here, they would win, albeit with difficulty, but not only would several of their limbs be blown away, but the Ice Palace Master would also die.

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

He said.

Saaaaa―

The mysterious sword wind surrounding Jeongyeonshin is dimly dyeing her entire body.

The wind of the sword from the swordsman Hyeon So-baek was blocking the unrivaled technique of the Ice Palace Master. Jeong Yeon-shin turned her head slightly to the side and bowed respectfully.

“That old man, isn’t he your subordinate? I have a feeling.”

Ice Palace Master’s question. Jeong Yeon-shin asked quietly.

“Is Taeyeonryong one of your subordinates?”

“no.”

“then…?”

“How can a husband be a subordinate? He is half of me.”

Sarak.

Was it because of the extreme Samhwachwijeong that Binggungju had achieved? The hem of her lower abdomen slightly wrinkled due to the true energy flowing through her heart, and Jeongyeonshin felt an extremely small wave of energy from there.

“… … !”

The most noble mystery.

Something that did not exist in the knowledge that Jeongyeonshin had personally seen and expanded. Something that she had not anticipated. It was the movement of the fetus.

There was no hesitation among Ma Gwang-ik’s comrades. He immediately struck Tae-yeon-ryong with a thunderbolt.

-You, you.

Can you live long?

I almost blurted it out, but I ended up stuttering, which was rare. I shouldn’t have said that in front of a child.

He doesn’t even make a mouth shape to rebuke Taeyeonryong.

Jeong Yeon-shin became extremely cautious because she had no experience.

Even if it was a telegram that even the best masters couldn’t hear, I thought it might somehow be able to influence the baby. So I became quiet like a bear that had swallowed honey.

It was a first in my life.

“Why aren’t you saying anything…?”

When the Ice Palace Lord, who had never been in a bad mood since the beginning, tilted his head, and the shadows under Taeyeonryong’s eyes, who had nothing to say to his immediate superior, grew dark and awkward.

“I.”

Jeongyeonshin slowly opened her mouth.

“I will become that child’s second father. If you and your wife permit, I will take this as a sign of our alliance.”

A strange feeling was swirling in his mind.

The wonder towards the child’s insignificant energy like a new sprout, the jealousy he always had towards Taeyeonryong, vicarious satisfaction and relief, and finally, all sorts of thoughts that became entangled like a thread to the point that even he himself did not know what they were.

One who has truly become a family.

Perhaps Taeyeonryong is a better great master than Jeongyeonshin.

At that moment, the Ice Palace Princess suddenly spoke with her blue eyes.

“You want to be my concubine? I welcome it.”

“no.”

“Then you will be my guardian? Are you saying you will be my teacher or something? I can’t even guess how strong your rebuttal is. How good it will be for my child.”

at that time.

“I am.”

He was the first lieutenant of the Ice Palace.

He couldn’t use the full sound without bursting out like Jeong Yeon-shin.

The first general of the Ice Palace and the King of Yelü exchanged some kind of communication? Needless to say, it was a strange thing. So Taeyeonryong spoke in his own voice.

“I think it would be good.”

The poppy was smiling.

It wasn’t the same crooked smile as before.

* * *

There were Taoist priests who wandered the wilderness carrying only one sword.

There were about twenty of them, and they never stopped or rested, even though the cool north wind occasionally blew and raised clouds of dust.

These people are as skinny as old trees.

Because food was not abundant, even grain was scarce.

Their long limbs and dark, colorless eyes were proof that they were skilled swordsmen. In addition, their conversation, which seemed to be well-versed in the affairs of the northern martial world, was evidence of a large sect.

None other than the Gudaemun faction.

Among them were Gongdong and Heungsan.

“The unification of the southern part of the Demon Realm….”

“It is an alliance between King Yelu, King Yongyin, and the Lord of the Ice Palace. King Yelu of the North is the main force, and it is said that he extracted a non-aggression pact from King Chigeuk. It is said that King Yongyin entered into the alliance on the condition that he not kill him. It is as if the Southern Qi lost the Ice Palace that they had worked so hard to bring in.”

“It seems that Socheonmujeok was just sitting still.”

“We asked around in Hyeongsan, and it seems that the empty city of Mingjiao that King Yeolyu had invaded was completely empty….”

“Did Yalul head north that way?”

“Yes. I don’t know what will happen after that. Unless the elders come, there’s no way to get close… .”

“Isn’t there support coming from the Imperial Palace? They’re going to join us today, and then so many things will become possible.”

“Well, Yeo-ui-cheon and Cheon-ryong-dae are old allies. If they join us, it will be enough to check the rate.”

“Shingeomdan? It wasn’t a complete mess. I was disappointed because they said there were no long-suffering members.”

A voice interrupted in the middle.

It is not the voice of the Gongdong and Hyeongsan Taoists.

The reaction was immediate.

Sreung!

Twenty-two Taoists spun around with their swords drawn gently.

The hems of old gray clothes fluttered as if caressing the strong wind. Before I knew it, they were scattered sporadically, with two large figures trapped in the middle.

Bokmageumjin (伏魔劍陣) and Jangeomwon (殘劍垣).

Each of the joint and the mountain’s inspections creates a translucent wave of energy. In an instant, they are fully prepared.

But the Taoist priests’ faces were not bright.

It was because he had the ability to see through the shadows in the dust and had a wide range of knowledge.

As they were the elite swordsmen of the old school, they were also people who had honed their extremely sensitive senses.

“Geounwang (巨澐王), Gwangyoshinwang (狂妖神王)…!”

The king’s name was given by the people who were lying in the middle of the group of swordsmen.

There were two kings in the North.

The head height is more than seven feet.

They were absolute beings who each claimed the lands of Manggang and Mangyeryeong as their territories, and they were twins born on the same day and at the same time in the same boat.

It was said that the best in the world in terms of combined attack was unrivaled unless one was at the level of the Six Heavenly Kings. It was a rumor that was spread like common sense in the northern martial arts world.

“You guys were too leisurely.”

“The Demon Realm is no longer a land that tolerates such actions… I guess you didn’t know.”

The dust gradually settles.

As the two Northern Kings’ actions were fully revealed, the Taoist priests of the Old School fell silent.

“… … .”

The face is distorted to one side, and the body is huge, like a trampled chariot used to attack a castle wall.

The skin was so thick that it looked like it was covered in leather armor.

The protective gear covered with a soft, colorless material on top looked like iron armor, but the texture that was visible from the outside seemed to be something that had transcended the human world, sparkling in an incongruous way.

It was a heavenly armor.

“How long has it been since you went out on an expedition alone, without sending a grand envoy?”

“Come to think of it, it was good when Geonreung came rushing in.”

“Well, I always thought about death.”

“I want to quickly pour out Yalul’s blood. It will definitely restore the spirit I lost.”

“Shouldn’t we kill the betraying Ice Princess first? Our priest said so. Don’t let her and the Sun God Vein have a child. The other Northern Kings must have heard similar words.”

“You too should apply Yalul’s blood to your body. Your spirit is lacking.”

The northern kings who were on their way to plot against King Yelü.

Kugugugugugu! Kugugugugugu!

As the conversation continues, an invisible pressure weighs down the dusty ground.

Their voices descended like a kind of sound. Hundreds of cracks were spreading out from the ground.

“They say that the old warrior of Yul is as strong as the Northern King, but in my opinion, he is a famous swordsman in the South.”

“If you have accumulated enough strength to become an old man, then it is possible. It might be the Sword of the South.”

“If it’s the Southern Five Swords, then it’s a name worth hanging your neck and breaking.”

“I don’t know if it’s to that extent. Look at the leader of the shaman faction. Didn’t he get fooled by the disciple of Shinto? He’s far inferior to the Six-Won Seonggun.”

There is no special reason.

It feels like their story comes first, and they are literally crushing their enemies to death.

Cough!

In fact, Hyungsan and his swordsmen were vomiting blood due to the sudden natural disaster.

Each of them endured the pressure as if they were going to die at any moment, using methods such as Hwagyeong (化勁), soft Bogyeong (보신경), and strong Mabo (馬步).

Because of this, one swordsman who was naturally mixed in among them stood out.

He lowered his hat as if he had been there from the beginning, but he seemed to be thinking about how to match the appearance of the surrounding Taoist priests.

“It’s not my turn yet….”

“wingy?”

It is the muttering of the mighty king.

At some point, the two northern kings’ eyes were drawn to the swordsman, but their gazes never met. This was because there was a cloudy white cast to their eyes beneath their hats.

“This is embarrassing. I’m really bad at dancing.”

He smiled awkwardly and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife for a moment.

Swish!

The space split apart above the cracks that had been resting on the ground. It was a distortion like a sword strike. The necks of the two northern kings were hanging on that gray straight line.

Blood burst out.

As if a translucent trajectory had passed through their inner defenses and was engraved into their skin.
