Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 57

Hwangbo Se-ga (5)

Hwangbo Se-ga was an old place.

The Huangbo clan, who rose up in Shandong during the late Yuan Dynasty, established themselves in the center of Shandong Province, Jinan.

There were great masters who had been honing the martial arts skills of their family.

The martial arts of the united bloodlines became more and more powerful. It was a time of chaos. They took whatever land they could from the Yuan Dynasty.

It was the same until the time when the nobles, who came down riding on the light, rose to power.

The Huangbo clan began to be called a local aristocrat in return for their compliance with the new Ming dynasty.

It was the birth of the Murim family. They acted as the rulers of Jinan for generations.

“Mom. When is brother coming home?”

A girl of about fifteen banged an axe down next to some household items.

It was a family that had been chopping wood for two generations in Pyeong-eum-hyeon, Jeonam.

Although martial arts are not easy to learn, those who can read often have books on how to gain energy.

The Three Talents and Mind Law promulgated by the imperial family increased manpower.

It was said that even earthworms can draw a little bit of energy from the atmosphere.

It is said to be a secret art of the famous people that creates great merchants and fertilizes fields by planting strength in the body and land.

A middle-aged woman who had been sitting and twisting a rope opened her mouth.

Although the clothes he was wearing were shabby, his tone was dignified and his pronunciation was clear.

“Hwangbo Se-ga took him away. Let’s wait quietly. Your brother might come back as a warrior. If he becomes the gatekeeper of a powerful family, we won’t have to go hungry either.”

“The trees on the mountain behind me are not so good these days. I heard that Mr. Ma is raising the price. Why didn’t he get dragged away?”

The girl complained.

He’s pretty good at chopping wood for his age, but he’s not really a master of the trade.

The Samjae Simbeop was mysterious, but it was closer to a health technique. The reason the girl could do as much work as the men was because she had outstanding qualities.

It was to the point where Mr. Ma, who seemed to have a connection with Hwangbo Se-ga, started to forcefully encourage initiation.

The startled mother whispered.

“Dragged away? Watch your words. They say that warriors have ears as good as bats.”

“They’ll all be feasting with Jihyun. It’s nice that the rascals who were harassing me are gone, but if we keep going like this, we’re going to starve to death. Wood is cheap and there’s not much to eat. What little we have is all gone to Jihyun and Hwangbo.”

“Watch what you say!”

A middle-aged woman who had been screaming under her breath said, catching her breath.

“The Hwangbo family is a prestigious family that protects us. It was the same with your grandfather, who passed the state exam.”

“I talk about my grandfather all the time!”

“He said that people outside of Jinan often have their arms stolen by the unmanned. At least that doesn’t happen to us. If your dead father hadn’t been a gambler, you would have lived a decent life.”

“Snatching her arms? Those Hwangbo guys are doing it. How much money would you make if you had a brother?”

“Hey, really! If you curse the party, you’ll be in big trouble!”

The girl who had been slapped on the back left the house grumbling.

“What kind of political party are you, those guys who kill all the knights! Mom, you write strangely! When will you teach me how to read and write!”

Her mother’s scolding leaked out through the crack in the closed door. The girl paid no attention and went out on her way.

Perhaps it was because I walked without any plan. I arrived at the largest Pyeongumhyeon Hwangboga in the village without any hesitation.

It was the moment when the girl who had glanced up at the large garden quickly turned around.

“Huh?”

“You came at a good time.”

The voice was thick and resonant. A strong hand grabbed the back of her neck and pulled her up.

“I thought one of my branches was going to be destroyed by the thugs of Iphwangseong.”

“Mr. Ma, Mr. Ma?”

The girl’s body suddenly turned around. A middle-aged man wearing yellow silk clothes was there with an indifferent expression on his face.

He muttered as he walked toward the broken gate.

“You might be the question to them. What is a compromise?”

* * *

The power of the sword’s sound energy was immense.

“What the······.”

Shim Soo-geom Hwang Bo-mimi looked around the garden in a daze.

Those who had fallen to their deaths and fainted were lying in a line all around.

The fighting stopped. The moment the fighting began, the attendants who had retreated, leaving only the table setting behind, briefly showed their faces.

“What, what is it?”

“Why are you lying down? You’re bleeding.”

“You’re not moving? Are you dead?”

It was the moment when their new screams rang out as they witnessed the tragedy.

A wave of energy flowed out from the hand of the swordsman who was resting on the sword.

No matter how much she dressed up, she couldn’t hide the traces of training on her hands.

She was certainly a rare swordsman. She moved her lips with her teeth, but her voice was full of life.

“How dare you.”

“······Yin Gong is one of the few scholars in the world.”

Jihyun muttered. The noble figure of the villain who wanted to watch the bloody fight along with the music disappeared.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the three of them, Ma Gwang-ik, with his eyes sunken in deep thought.

There was a few moments to breathe. Jeongyeonshin took a deep breath.

The Wolyeongjohwagyeol was also a method of breathing in and out.

When I recalled the long, thin breath of the Iphwangseongju I felt when I received the teachings, my mind became calm.

‘I overdid it.’

The method of utilizing the true energy used to cast the sword was incredibly detailed. It strained the senses to their limits.

It is the act of loading the sound created through internal energy with the energy of the radiant energy.

It was a martial art that greatly utilized the functions of the upper body. It could truly be called a divine skill.

“You want to talk about elegance? Why aren’t you saying anything more?”

Jeong Yeon-shin pretended to be calm as she spoke, but she felt extremely tired.

It felt like there was a wet cloth in my head.

It was the first time I had used my sword to its full potential. I had to do that to kill a martial artist instantly.

It was the same even if they were inferior to him.

Natural self-defense is also a clear internal energy barrier, so it is inevitable to kill someone by piercing their ears with the sound of the sword.

‘I can’t use it twice. I thought it would be difficult even once.’

My physical condition, which had been fine, suddenly deteriorated. In the world of masters, it is said that a single inch can determine life or death.

If there are an equal number of enemies, you will have to continue the difficult fight.

‘hmm?’

It was a moment of internal observation thanks to the breathing of Wolryeongjohwagyeol. Jeongyeonshin lost her mind for a moment.

Above the head. Crown of the head.

It was definitely different from the morning. I was able to sense the difference between the days with my innate senses.

The Baihui point became wider. It seemed like it would last for three days.

‘The hand.’

My index finger trembled in the middle of a real fight. It wasn’t because I lacked strength.

That was the reason why panic came, even if only for a moment.

An instinctive fear of death suddenly came over him. The abyss covered him for a moment.

Moving the spirit is like using muscle strength.

If you can freely use your power without exerting any effort on your will, you are already a peerless master.

The stages of internal energy called Samhwachwijeong (Three Flowers Gathering on the Top), Ogijowon (Five Energy Harmony), and Deungbongjogeuk (Climbing a Peak to Create the Ultimate) are said to be the process.

It was different from the sense that Jeongyeonshin had innately possessed. It was like climbing a huge mountain.

‘We’ll figure it out later.’

I’m facing a life or death situation.

He forced himself to regain consciousness, trying to keep his anxiety to one side of his head.

Just like the shock of the first murder during the destruction of the Jeong family.

‘Let’s think about martial arts first. Even if it’s not good, it should be in the black realm so that there is no backlash.’

Jeong Yeon-shin’s aerodynamic control was largely due to her innate upper body strength.

He used his true energy solely through his senses without changing his essential internal energy level.

Anything that goes beyond limits is bound to have a backlash.

“Golden water bottle. You are the disciple of the Emperor of Heaven.”

Shim Soo-geom Hwang Bo-mimi slowly approached and nodded.

The sight that unfolded around her was the reward for the price Jeongyeonshin had paid.

The sight of the collapsed siege was truly overwhelming.

The Blue Warrior single-handedly destroyed the power of one of the eight great families.

“······.”

What did Jeong Yeon-shin look like, standing tall and not saying anything?

Shim Soo-geom’s gait was cautious. It seemed as if he had started to follow the law, but no particular momentum was felt.

Jeongyeonshin just stared blankly.

‘Sim Soo-geom Hwangbo Mimi.’

He was the head of a branch family in name only.

The sight of her putting on lipstick and showing affection for her husband along with her many concubines had to be viewed separately.

I didn’t think that the martial arts skills I had already accumulated would be shallow.

Jeong Yeon-shin stood in this position, overcoming the enemies’ carelessness. She could never take an opposing position.

Sling.

He grabbed the sword of the Ip Hwang Geum and slowly pulled it out.

“Sim Soo-geom. I remember what you said.”

“······Just because you are in the Imperial Palace doesn’t mean your blood becomes noble. You are not worthy to speak to me.”

“I said arm first. You piece of shit.”

Jeongyeonshin spoke quietly. Her head was ringing.

Although his overworked upper body felt as hot as a white fire, he conveyed his message to Cheongmyeong and Baekmirye through the telescope.

I’m thinking of it as a solo mission.

It meant that I should not interfere. Going beyond black to purple? Isn’t there no other way than through chaos?

There will be battles where you will be on the edge of death. In a situation like the current one, it is absolutely necessary to gain experience in unleashing your martial arts skills.

That’s why I said it.

“Come.”

For a moment, I could sense the sound of people crossing the threshold of the manor from afar. It was not a time to worry about it.

Hwaaaaak!

A heavy wave of energy rose from the sword of the Deep Sword that was before my eyes.

The black mask was very wide. It was just as I had heard from the blue senior of the Myeolseomdae.

The martial arts inherited from this Pyeong-eum branch were called Junggeom. It was said that the swordsmanship was firm and unwavering.

A straight wave of light extended towards him with tremendous sword power.

It felt like I had turned my spirit several times while walking here. It was a well-prepared blow.

Wow!

The moment I countered with the Ip-Hwang-Geom, I almost missed the sword. I tried my best to deflect it, but it still happened.

At the same time, the sense of emptiness that had been growing stronger was sharpened again.

Percussion!

I took a step back.

At the same time, the realm of instinct shone through. He twisted his elbow and guided the opponent’s slap to the internal oblique muscle of the back.

My knees naturally bent. That was the moment when the aftershock of the sword I had received passed through my gluteus maximus and reached the back of my thighs.

The opponent’s strength became Jeongyeonshin’s light wave at that point.

A powerful energy surged from his leg, which had been bitten once.

Kwaaak!

I woke up without even lifting a foot. It was a split second.

The movement of all the muscles in my body that had lost strength was instantly reversed.

The power that burned even the hand holding the sword emitted an invisible, heavy wave.

The air shook. It was the moment when the heavy sword returned to the heavy sword.

The fragments of the sword that burst from Jeong Yeon-shin’s hand, who was holding the Ip-Hwang-Geom, created a strong wind. He swung his sword upwards and struck.

bang!

“Ugh!”

The sword of the swordsman who was just about to strike the second sword flew away.

It was an opponent who didn’t let his guard down.

It is the sense of Jeongyeonshin and the power of Seomye.

For a moment, her face, as if she had lost her mind, flashed through my vision. The moment I swung my sword, I spun around into a warrior’s mirror.

Jeong Yeon-shin was also the one who prepared for the attack right away.

Chomp!

From the moment I took the sword, I could clearly feel the discomfort.

Blood was dripping from the Ip-Hwang-Geom that had returned with a blurry light. Sim-Su-Geom’s right arm fell off.

“Ugh!”

She let out a sigh and stepped back hesitantly.

Jeongyeonshin swung her sword once.

At this moment, he was strong. He was clearly looking down on the branch family of the Hwangbo family.

It is not a quality limited to learning. It is a fighting ability that can keep you going even when you are exhausted.

There was a strength in his senses that could not be estimated by his martial arts level.

“Next time I might go out to Gangho alone.”

A cheerful, smiling voice was heard from behind.

Jeongyeonshin walked with slow steps.

Blood was dripping from the sword he was holding, and at the end of it was the Shimshu sword, which he was urgently striking the acupoint on his right forearm to stop the bleeding.

Jeongyeonshin slowly opened her lips.

“You did it.”

I stepped absentmindedly and slightly raised my sword. It was the moment when I alone destroyed a branch of the Hwangbo family.

It seemed like more than enough for three days of life. At least it wasn’t something that Blue could build up on his own.

The face of the Emperor of Heaven already came to mind.

“After the arms, I talked about the neck.”

He said.
