Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 61

Iphwangdaehyeop (4)

Many people gathered because of the noise. Those who followed Jeong Yeon-sin and Wi Ji-myo-hwa were all familiar with lightness.

They belatedly caught sight of the two masters’ actions.

Jeong Yeon-shin didn’t care. She focused all her energy on saving Heonwonchang. She was completely focused.

It was the first time I felt so happy with the top of my head burning with light.

It was only when I was about to enter the palace that I finally had a chance to catch my breath.

“I heard it was blue, but······.”

Wijimyohwa opened his lips. He was showing surprise at the difference in the way Jeongyeonshin’s magic was used to destroy demons.

He continued to display martial arts skills and precision that he had not shown when he confronted Paegeomjong at Jongnamsan.

Not even half a year had passed. When we met again, the words “sight-seeing” were barely enough to describe her eyes.

There is a limit to how much talent can develop without being noticed.

“I thought you weren’t a white warrior wearing a blue robe. So, you have now become a full-fledged blue warrior?”

“yes.”

Jeongyeon Shin responded with a brisk stride.

Wijimyohwa sighed inwardly. Thanks to Jongnam Geomseon, she knew of Jeongyeonshin’s short lifespan.

‘It’s like a firework.’

It was a speed of accomplishment I had never heard of. Even if the end of life was decided early, it was the same. I was walking alone in a different time.

I heard the story of a later scholar who was forcing the masters of the magic way in faraway Xinjiang to their knees.

It’s not like he’s practicing witchcraft like the rumors say.

She decided not to be surprised anymore. She had been awakened to the vastness of the world from an early age and was given the nickname of Sword Dragon.

He even overcame the evil spirit he had received from Jeong Yeon-shin. He is free from the jealousy and distrust that anyone can have.

Wijimyohwa looked at Jeongyeonshin, who was standing next to him, with transparent eyes.

“I’m just now hearing the wonderful news.”

Her face, with a very small smile, was beautiful. She continued speaking, walking alongside Jeongyeonshin.

“It’s just a shame that we have to stop celebrating because of bad timing and luck. Let’s have a drink with Heonwon Sohyeop.”

“······thank you.”

Jeong Yeon-shin expressed her gratitude calmly. It was a story that gave her strength. Heon Won-chang will be alive.

I stood straight in front of the pavilion.

Jeong Yeon-shin clenched her fist and used the nine-fold movement of Shihwamugeukwon. There were many feelings inside.

There might be innocent people alive. Even though it seemed so refreshing, I had to break down only the front door.

‘no.’

I frowned. The air waves touching my skin felt strange.

It felt like a cool tension was suffocating me. It even seemed like the scent of blood was flowing out.

It was different from before. Even the Wijimyohwa next to him seemed to sense the discomfort.

As her lips slightly curled, Jeongyeonshin felt the upper body precognition dissipate without a trace.

thud!

There is no delay. I started from the beginning.

The light waves of Shihwamugeukkwon Jinbyeok exploded from the tips of his toes.

The moment the power of the accumulated energy was concentrated in his fist, he stretched out his arm.

Boom!

A strong wind blew through the waves. It instantly pushed away the texture of the wood that had briefly touched the surface.

The eyes of Jeongyeonshin and Wijimyohwa, who quickly rushed through the shattered debris, grew wide.

“what!”

“What now!”

Those who were startled fell into two groups.

It seemed like the factions were divided and keeping each other in check. The red-haired bloodthirsty ones were closer to Jeongyeonshin.

Those who appeared to be possessed were hiding on the other side.

For some reason, he was free and confronted the Blood Flame Cult.

In the lead was Heonwonchang.

Pale skin and an expression I’ve never seen before. His handsome face is distorted like a demon’s.

A corpse with blood-red hair and a hint of black hair lay at his feet.

It was the Blood Sect Sword. It must have been the branch manager of this Blood Flame Sect branch.

Heonwonchang was holding a dagger that seemed to have been stolen from the hands of those bastards.

The grip of the hand holding the sword looked quite familiar. The blade was covered in blood.

It was as if he had been stabbing the sword lying under his feet.

‘I overdid it.’

Jeongyeonshin could tell right away.

Those Blood Flame Cult guys were a sect that stole true energy. There was no way they would break the dantian.

Thanks to this, Heonwonchang was able to forcefully release the blood clot and counterattack.

But it wasn’t easy.

Ripping apart someone else’s true energy on the spot by measuring the blood flow in their body? Anyone with knowledge of the subject would say that I was crazy.

He must have suffered tremendous internal injuries. He might not have recovered.

Even after killing the Blood Sect Leader, there are still a few Blood Flame Cultists that can’t be helped.

‘It must have been a threatening situation for both of them.’

It was obvious how long they had been standing in opposition. The people huddled behind Heonwonchang were repeatedly stretching and pulling their legs together.

“There’s a great swordsman there too.”

Someone said. The martial artists who followed Jeong Yeon-shin and Wi Ji-myo-hwa were sticking their heads out.

The number was in the dozens. The Blood Flame Cultists were frozen and couldn’t even open their mouths.

“hmm?”

How immersed was he in the restraint? Even though Jeong Yeon-shin had broken down the door, Heon Won-chang seemed to have only just come to his senses.

Jeongyeon Shin’s eyes met mine.

“uh······?”

The expression on his face that had been glaring at the Blood Flame Cultists as if he was a vicious murderer suddenly changed. His face became blank as if he had lost his mind.

“What, why did you come so quickly?”

Those were Heonwonchang’s first words.

* * *

All of the Blood Flame Cult branches in Seoju were swept away.

As dawn broke, the words “Entering the Wilderness, Great Hero” began to spread.

It was a nickname that praised Heonwonchang.

Dozens of Seoju martial artists witnessed him protecting the people with his body covered in wounds.

It was different from Jeongyeonshin’s powerful martial arts.

There were many who called Iphwangseong Seomye a great swordsman, but Heonwonchang was treated as a swordsman, not as a warrior.

“Didn’t the Imperial Family say that destroying the Blood Flame Cult was a great achievement? Because the Imperial Family declared it a cult.”

Wijimyohwa said. He was sitting in the guest room, together with Jeongyeonsin.

She smiled faintly.

“There are many witnesses to the achievements of the Small Business Association, so this incident will also be fully recorded. I can also testify.”

“thank you.”

Jeongyeonshin gave a short reply. It was because she was in a bad mood.

Heonwonchang’s internal injuries were severe. He fainted as soon as he saw Jeongyeonshin last night and smiled.

Jeongyeonshin couldn’t help but groan when she felt his pulse and examined his insides.

All of the veins in his body were severely damaged.

‘I might not be able to learn martial arts.’

Wijimyohwa, who had been carefully observing his expression, opened her lips.

“It seems that Jeong So-hyeop has circumstances that require him to pay great attention to the achievements of the monks. Is that correct?”

“······Yes.”

Jeongyeonshin answered slowly. She could tell me this much.

Although we didn’t know each other for long as friends, I felt the depth of Geomryong’s personality.

This was something that many people in Bonseong, including Ma Gwang-ik, already knew.

Even if you hide your constitution, you cannot completely hide your obsession with public achievements.

“While contributing to the Iphwangseong Fortress, I might be able to restore the body of Heonwon Sohyeop.”

Wijimyohwa said. At the same time, Jeongyeonshin’s upper body tilted towards her.

Wijimyohwa opened his mouth without avoiding it.

“The main sect has been at war with the Paegeomjong for quite some time. There were quite a few disciples who suffered internal injuries, such as the Heonwon Sohyeop. After a month or so, they would not be able to use their martial arts skills, but if there were even a mid-level elixir, things would be different.”

“Elixir······.”

“Since the collapse of the Yongbong branch, the Namgung family and the Blood Flame Cult have been fighting a huge battle. It’s almost like a war. And the Namgung family is the closest Daebang faction to Seoju. They’re the same Namjikrye.”

Wizhi Myohwa’s eyes sparkled with wisdom. The experience of the Sword Dragon in the world of martial arts was revealed.

The breath that touched the tip of Jeongyeonshin’s nose was carrying hope.

“Please show me your favor. Namgung Se-ga is a martial arts master who is known for being the most outstanding among the eight great masters. I will definitely repay your favor. There is only one problem.”

She said.

“Does the little thief have such great martial arts skills?”

“······.”

If you show your chivalry through martial arts, you will be rewarded with more chivalry. Wijimyohwa has described the essence of martial arts.

‘You’re fighting Namgung Se-ga? The Blood Flame Cult must be putting in a lot of effort as well.’

Destroying them was Jeong Yeon-shin’s personal achievement. Now, another thing has been added.

Is it possible to receive a title from the Namgung family by accumulating enough achievements to be accepted as a favor? It is extremely difficult. However, there was no other way.

The next destination for Magwangik’s island tour was decided. It was from Seoju to Huiju.

“I got the title from another sect······. It won’t work with ordinary achievements.”

Jeongyeonshin said quietly.

There was a martial art that immediately came to mind. It was swordsmanship.

He lost three days’ worth of life in the Hwangbo branch.

I decided to seal it until my internal energy management skills surpass those of the Black Master.

It was a very firm decision, as if the exceptions kept repeating, it might become unmanageable.

‘This is the last time.’

Jeong Yeon-shin made a resolution inwardly. He made a decision because he could recover Heonwonchang’s martial arts skills and take credit for the destruction of the Blood Flame Cult at the same time.

It was the last swordsmanship cast before reaching the realm of the Great Lord.

The main force that went to attack Huangbo Se-ga will still be in Shandong Province.

The territory of the Eight Great Clans was vast. It would not be possible to call it extinction if only one main family and a few branch families were eliminated.

‘I should just tell the seniors in blue who have come down to Namjikrye. I should just leave a message at the government office.’

Looking at the details of the Heonwonchang, even waiting to join was a luxury.

Jeong Yeon-shin decided to start practicing martial arts here. He sat down and immediately fell into meditation.

‘The killing range of the sword is separate from the area that the sword’s name reaches.’

With the upper body’s power, his head began to disintegrate into pieces.

‘All we have to do is limit the spread of the emanating energy so that it doesn’t spread as much as the sound of the sword. Even if we can’t specify the target, we can set a rough range.’

I was conscious of the brain waves that were constantly flashing in my head.

I was completely immersed in it. It was a world that no one else could fathom.

“Small business?”

The questionable voice of Wijimyohwa also quickly disappeared from my mind.

* * *

There was a long valley on the border between Huizhou and Jizhou. It was called Cheongya Valley.

At the time of the founding of the country, it was a place where a peerless master of the famous clan fought against evil spirits and illuminated the night with his sword.

It was now broad daylight. The pouring sunlight indifferently illuminated the blood spattered here and there.

Bam! Bam!

The tremendous sword power collided and the sharp shock waves striking from all directions shook the ground.

Hundreds of red-haired warriors clashed with blue-robed warriors.

The battle line was so long that it was hard to believe it was a battle between martial arts schools.

“That apostle. He’s not moving at all.”

Meanwhile, the place where the upper echelons of the Namgung family were located had an old-fashioned atmosphere.

It was separate from the urgency of the front line. The unique atmosphere of a prestigious family did not disperse even on the battlefield and flowed proudly.

“How long must I keep quiet?”

The young man standing with the elders of the family asked. He had kind, downcast eyes. He was the successor to the Namgung family.

The young man had already drawn his sword. He was wearing a martial arts uniform made of luxurious blue silk, which suited him perfectly.

He has such an outstanding appearance and outstanding martial arts skills that the people of Gangho call him Cheonggirin (淸麒麟).

“The Bloodthirsty Swordsmen and the two Apostles are waiting for an opening. Don’t act rashly.”

The head of the Namgung family spoke while wearing a pure white robe and showing only his back.

“The ordinary people can handle it without us. You, as a small family head, must keep this in mind. In a family battle, there is no point in winning. Put your heart into protecting the lives of your family members.”

“That’s right. When the real experts come out, you have to fight back right away to minimize casualties.”

The nagging younger sister interrupted her father.

There is nothing more annoying than sticking out your copper-colored face. Namgung Sejin, the blue giraffe, gritted his teeth.

“The unmanned vehicles that are dying now are our family members.”

His voice leaked out through his white teeth. This time, even his younger brother couldn’t respond.

“Think about the decision you made when you cast out Hwasin. As the head of the clan, don’t think about individuals.”

There was no change in Gaju’s tone.

The fighting was getting more and more intense, but the enemy leaders were not coming forward.

Those guys who climbed up to the peak on one side of the valley and looked down with an arrogant attitude were really annoying.

Two apostles and thirty bloodthirsty swordsmen.

Even though he had a formidable force, when the best players of the Namgung family tried to fight him, he kept his distance and stayed away.

“How many days has it been? Are you planning to continue this war of attrition?”

Namgung Sejin bit his lip.

The suffering of the father, the head of the household, must also be great.

The influence of the Blood Flame Cult was enormous.

There was a time when one of the elders of the clan could not stand it anymore and stepped forward, and fifteen Blood Sect Swordsmen pushed their way into the front line.

It was a mockery. A warning not to act rashly. It was a taunt to exploit the weakness of Sega, whose members were all blood relatives.

It seems like they are going to deploy experts only after pushing through with numbers, but Namgung Se-ga has not yet found a proper solution.

The battle had been going on for over two weeks. The mood among the warriors fighting on the front lines was not good.

This was the case even though Sega’s top players were still alive and well.

That was when.

Suddenly, the head of the household and several elders turned their heads. Namgung Sejin, who had particularly keen senses, was also there.

Something was approaching quickly. It was behind the Blood Flame Cult camp.

From far away.

Phew!

It slowly spreads toward the valley. Could it be the cry of a giant bird that once flew across the sky?

There was a sound that started slowly and gradually spread rapidly.

A sound no one had ever heard came to the battlefield.
