Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 608

Three swords

* * *

After appearing in Gangho.

Jeong Yeon-shin lived a very dark time.

There was never a single moment wasted. Every experience had meaning, and the martial arts derived from it were connected in a circle to Jeongyeonshin’s life. Like a halo surrounding his heart.

Given time, there is no opponent that cannot be defeated. The same goes for cornering an enemy.

“You locked the door. I lost.”

Cheon Geuk Moon Ju eventually raised both arms. Before he knew it, he had put the Dongmong Sword back in its scabbard as if it were a lie.

It was a natural thing.

This man believes that safety is the ultimate.

A situation where the heteromorphic void is completely sealed.

There is no way he would throw away his beloved sword that contains his spirituality and fight a life-or-death battle with Jeongyeonshin. This is the kind of dilemma he is in. For the Cheon Geuk Moonju, this seemed like an unprecedentedly absurd and bleak situation.

“Well, as I live… … .”

But there was a certain cheerfulness in the voice that came out of his rough beard.

“What a mess. What a mess.”

“Follow me.”

Cheon Geuk Moon Ju had to follow Jeong Yeon Shin as he said. He was not allowed to fall behind too much.

In the ruined Hanhyeol Valley, the Blood King’s wife and Jeong Yeon-shin have a conversation, and with the sword song of the Eumgonggiye, they drive the horsemen of Gwangpungmak to the brink of destruction.

Before casting the sword, Jeongyeonshin asked Cheonggeukmunju to lend her Dongmong, but Cheonggeukmunju, sensing a strange aura, refused, so she had to be satisfied with Gwangpungbumakju’s Hyopbonggeom.

The Gwangpungmakju and Gwangpungbumakju were alive. This was because the blade of the formless sword had pierced the gap in their internal organs. This was possible because even the light waves bursting out from the ‘Starry Night’ had been suppressed.

My whole body was covered in blood and I had difficulty moving. My air power wasn’t as strong as it used to be.

The Gwangpungmakju was dragged around by Jeongyeonshin like a piece of luggage while being hit by a demon’s blood. The bandit’s characteristic rough voice was also dragged out as if it was being scratched from his throat.

“Why did you keep me alive? You said I was the new sword master.”

“Aren’t you a half-combatant? If you drop me in front of the pro-combatant Northern Kings, I’ll do anything. Even struggling to survive is helpful to me.”

“… … .”

“This is a chivalrous man.”

By then, Eung-gong and Ju-gwang-singae, who had come down from the peak late, were also at a loss for words. This was even more so after seeing Cheon-geuk-mun-ju.

The new sword master is fast.

Half a day after arriving at Hanhyeolgok.

Just as a sword in its sheath is different from a sword drawn out, everything went smoothly in front of the unsheathed Jeong Yeon-shin.

“So what’s your purpose? You could have made a big deal out of it.”

“Use your empty space.”

“what?”

“You must take me to the territory of the Southern Emperor. The Black Capital, the capital of the Demon Realm.”

Originally, it was supposed to be over a thousand li to travel to the southeast, but even that was only if you went straight through the Demon Realm. The terrain wasn’t even flat.

The end of the Yuan Dynasty, a time when many powerful gods were rampant.

There are countless cases where the terrain has changed like the Shin Ya-hyeon of Jeonggajang. Ma-gyeong was even worse. It was because the ‘gate’ was not considered to be something that needed to be closed in the first place.

The era in which all maps that had been carved down to the Yuan Dynasty were discarded.

Even if Jeongyeonshin uses the Sword Flight alone, the time taken for the intermediate stages is considerable.

If you meet one of the only three masters of the Void in the whole world, you must use it.

But Cheon Geuk-mun-ju’s reaction was common sense.

“Are you kidding me?”

“Cut the space like you always do. Spread the sword path wide enough for all of us to fit in.”

Behind Jeong Yeon-shin’s back, who spoke calmly.

The blood royal family has about two hundred members. The Gwangpungmak has about one hundred and twenty horses and men.

The two sides were standing a little way apart on a low hill, and the Blood King’s family members bared their fangs at the windbreak masters who couldn’t control their bodies.

I gathered them by force. My experience of acting as a bandit with Ma Gwang-ik in Seoan was great.

It was a harmony of the strong.

“hmm.”

The mouth of the Heavenly Sword Master is twitching.

“Do you know that there is a considerable price to pay for something like this, like cutting a sword into Providence? Those who come and go through the door I opened will be comfortable.”

“Of course. I thought you, like an outsider, wouldn’t care about such things.”

“The Cheongsan River is a river.”

Cheon Geuk-mun-ju pulled down the wide brim of his hat to the edge of his mouth. It seemed as if he was not going to engage in any more conversation.

All that remained was the Blood King.

―Do you know? How the red eyes of the blood demons are treated in the Ming Dynasty! Why did the original family, who were with the Blood Flame Cult, come all the way to this Demon Realm and live among the demon tribes?

It was a story that was still vivid in my ears.

Just as he had said so passionately at that moment, the Blood King was squinting his bloodshot eyes at the front of his followers. There was not a single bit of favor in his gaze directed at Jeong Yeon-shin.

The enemy just stands next to him as if he’s going to tear off his father’s arm at any moment.

“They are stronger. Your Majesty, you must not act rashly.”

“How could you…?”

“I miss Harin. I can go.”

“How can you trust that guy?”

“I clearly told you the truth. You felt it in the upper chamber, didn’t you?”

“That’s the problem!”

It seems funny, but it has a wild momentum.

It was actually threatening. Jeongyeonshin had gained a lot from the Ming school, but the natural body that the Blood King pursued was a different realm.

“That kind of attitude is natural. Even if you hadn’t said that… .”

It was a new day.

Now, Eunggong’s back seemed very comfortable, but on the contrary, Eunggong seemed to want to pass the burden of the light to Jeongyeonsin. His young cheeks flinched several times.

Jeongyeonshin pretended not to see it and quickly approached the enemy.

She was the most awkward and comfortable person among the royal family of the Blood Kings, and it was all because she resembled the Seven Sado.

The servants were terrified.

“Stop!”

I ignored him and placed my hand on her crown. It was a soft, dreamy, quick release.

Meanwhile, Jeong Yeon-shin noticed that the enemy had been holding onto her father’s arm tightly for a long time.

A man who would drink the blood of an animal like alcohol was trembling with fear over his successor. Before the Blood King could say anything, Jeong Yeon-shin asked a question.

“Is the name Lee Seo-ran also a nickname?”

It was to ease the tension of the enemy. She nodded obediently.

“that’s right.”

“Normally, the character ‘자’ would be used externally, but I’m curious as to why it’s reversed.”

Then, Jeongyeonshin woke up the blood energy that was sleeping in the first light wheel.

A divine power created just for her through a deal with the Seven Sado. It was also the internal energy that made it possible to friction the true energy of the Hwan Gang since the time when the Neungbeop Gwangryun Gi was created.

Marajin Blood Gong (魔羅眞血功).

The translucent energy wave spread irregularly and penetrated the enemy’s eyeball. At that time, the Blood King, who would become a major force for Jeongyeonshin, was on the verge of having a seizure.

But in the end, he didn’t make it. The enemy’s response was calm.

“… Our clan doesn’t use public names. Instead, we receive a name called Jinmyeong (眞名) during our coming-of-age ceremony, and we entrust our fortunes to that. Then, we only tell it to the people we will share our lives with. It’s a tradition that we hope won’t be caught by those who hunt blood demons, just like a secret name.”

Woohoooooooo―

At that time, Jeongyeonshin’s blood attack energy was at its peak. Stones were flying everywhere from under his feet. The blood king, unable to bear it any longer, was able to tear off his enemy’s arm.

“You punk, do you think you have any kind of connection with your family just because you learned the bloodline? What are you doing now…?”

Jeongyeonshin opened her mouth quietly.

“I am the master of the true blood type.”

He said he had never wasted his life.

It has been a long time since I have delved into the true structure of the blood pore to the bottom, and even felt its madness and appearance with my senses.

This is the quality that Heaven has given him by taking his life and giving him good deeds. The will of the Blood Flame Sect leader who once used Jeongyeonshin as a great preceptor was in his grasp at this moment.

At the same time, it was also the wish of all the bloodthirsty people.

Swish―

Suddenly, the enemy’s pupils begin to turn black. A dreamlike, dreamlike sight.

The energy that had been burning in her eyes like ruby lost its color as quickly as Jeongyeonshin’s life span, and soon her red pupils were left burning with a pitch-black color like charred firewood.

“… … .”

Meanwhile, the Blood King was at a loss for words.

Phew―

At that moment, a cold wind blew across the empty space where the sound of horses had disappeared, and it soared endlessly, bouncing off countless pine cones.

Even in late winter, we crossed the rivers that were split open several times, and we continued to pass through the vast mountain ranges and plains without rest.

Until we finally reached the base of the Iphwangseong Shingumdan.

* * *

The barracks of the garrison.

The camp is built in the middle of a steep plain, where the sky repeatedly distorts into a whirlpool due to the intense heat.

A place in front of the Yongam Castle of the Lord of the Northern Kingdom, Yongam Castle. If you go up further, you will reach Heukdo, the capital of the Demon Realm.

Among them, three people were sitting around a hastily built tent.

A beautiful young woman in a black robe with her forehead tied with a hero’s bandage, a pretty girl in a blue robe with her black hair cut down to the nape of her neck, and a young man in a blue robe with a ghostly look on his face.

Heonwonchang and Shin Sobin, burned down.

“The King of Chigeuk has turned around.”

Shin So-bin said. Then she stopped twisting her empty earlobe with her fingers. She was about to fall back into an old habit.

“It’s amazing.”

Yeon-hwa replied calmly.

But the suffocating situation surrounding the Shingeomdan is separate from his attitude.

If they retreated to the south, they would be caught from behind by the forces holding the Whifungryeong, and if they had stayed at the Yeokru Castle from the beginning, they would have been surrounded by the massive forces of the Demonic Realm.

“I guess I should hit the head… If only the Great Hero Yong was here… … .”

Yeon-hwa slowly nods her head from side to side.

They quickly advanced northward so as not to be overtaken by any force, but they were unable to do anything about the Northern King’s forces coming down from above from the beginning.

In the northwestern sky, where the Great King Bajra ( ʋɐ́d͡ʑ.ɽɐ) was advancing south, thunderstorms had become frequent for a long time.

There was no news about the Northern King Gao Tao’s Sword Master after the first intelligence report.

Meanwhile, the successor of the Southern Emperor, Aisin Gakra Heukhwan (黑還), was said to be another Northern King, and was on his way down while killing the famous members of the Demon Realm. He was someone who focused on eliminating scouts.

And the owner of the lava castle that the Shingeomdan is facing.

The Lord of Lava Castle never showed up. He was just holding out in a castle that was long enough to block the entire wilderness. Despite being a warlike king, he was still a northern king.

“That bastard Chigeukbu-ma has come as an envoy again. To urge surrender.”

Shin So-bin said, wiggling her tiny hands.

In her palm, two types of energy were rubbing together like lightning: the famous Jecheon Martial Arts, and the true energy of the Blood Demon Martial Arts, Mara Jin Blood Energy.

Phagejik―

The sight of the ceiling of the tent fluttering from the friction that occasionally pops up. Heonwonchang stares blankly at it and then hears Shin Sobin’s question.

“Senior Heonwon is also black. If you gave him a temporary blood donation, he could have responded to the messenger. Why didn’t he go?”

“I’m afraid I’ll kill you.”

Heonwonchang answered calmly. Like Taeyeonryong who had long since fled the camp, his lips had also lost their charm a long time ago.

Woof-

Only a single sword, tied with a bandage, clanked at his waist.

That was when.

Someone came rushing in through the barracks’ entrance, and the group greeted the man in black robes calmly.

Heavenly Dragon Lord Wei Zhi Jie.

It’s a very indifferent face. It’s so indifferent that it makes the cheerful impression seem colorless.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he glanced at Shin So-bin and handed her a thin book.

“It is the achievement of the highest level, beyond the highest level. You don’t have to look at it anymore. Since the leader of the group is not here, I am giving it to you.”

Shin So-bin did not hide her admiration.

“Your Majesty, you are truly a genius. You said you would be the next Black Three Kingdoms.”

“Is there another polarity besides me? Which number am I?”

“The fourth.”

“What about the rest?”

“In order, they were Yang Guifei Senior, Yeoui Heavenly Lord, and Magwangik Lord.”

“… I’ve already looked through it again, but please check to see if there are any missing parts. Once you’ve confirmed it, burn it with Samadhi Evolution immediately.”

“yes.”

Shin So-bin nodded slightly and opened the book. On the eve of the final battle, the sound of the pages turning subsided.

[Those who sleep are peaceful. That is because they forget their hardships.

But the lanterns hanging on the walls of the main training center never go out. They never sleep well. Just like the chivalry of the main training center’s warriors.

The indestructible heart of a diamond.

It already has an important idea. It is perfect for forming an infinite circle from the dantian to the foot-jueyin liver meridian.

In this way, the dantian becomes the same as the true nature. No matter where the true energy wanders or where the enemy’s energies strike from, it is able to receive them and return them.

From the moment of initiation into the true nature, an unwavering belief was born, and that mind is the essence of the Un-gi Haeng-gong that will be described later.

Turn your internal energy to your heart’s content. From the moment you read this phrase, the acupoints will never be broken. If the group prospers, it will be invincible in group battles.

Even if you are seriously injured, or even in danger of death, it will protect your entire body.

It will boost your inner strength to move alone like a solo mission, no matter where you are. So that you don’t have to look for warmth from outside.

If you make the lower abdomen Qihai point (氣海穴) your home, the true energy that has swept through your entire body will return to the Mingmun point (命門穴) at the back.

Once you go out and come back, you will be stronger. Your bones, muscles, blood vessels, veins throughout your body, and thick acupoints will all be like that.

The spirit that leads the true energy is the same as the feeling when returning to the original nature. It is a movement skill because it moves without rest like us. You have to eat your mind like this to have an effect.

The Shingeomdan of Iphwangseong. They protect each other with the morality of being human. They will not be forgotten even after death.

Now, families bound by the character “荒”.

Let us go and break the river with a wave of our hands, and trample the lake with our sharpness.

Sometimes it’s okay to be swept away by the currents of the rivers and lakes. And when you get tired, it’s okay to come back.

I am your home.

I will make this the new swordsman’s standard sword.]

“… … .”

By the time she passed the western gate, the Heavenly Dragon Lord Wei Zhijie was leaving the barracks. He was immediately followed by Heonwonchang’s question.

“This isn’t a dormitory, but is the Wonpyeongil Inspection Center open?”

“no.”

Was it because he submitted a book that no one with a strong will would dare take out of their arms? Before he knew it, Wi Ji-geuk’s voice had a hint of emptiness.

“Advance. I will kill that dreamy spirit and follow you, so go first.”

It was a story so natural that I couldn’t even live without it.
