Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 614

Three Swords (7)

* * *

Something came down. On the mountain range across the other side of the black sea.

The temperament of the North Wind changes.

It no longer blew dryly. It was a little bit fresher and a little bit heavier than before.

It’s clearly a long way off.

At the end of the wide stretch that could fit three or four large cities like Heukdo, there was a rumbling of something like ‘Namje’.

It was a vast distance, as if the heavens had been squeezing it, and it had come down by force. It was literally an untimely appearance, so the word “crash landing” is appropriate.

It also felt like there was some sort of movement that went beyond providence.

[… It was a distance you couldn’t reach. The man named Shingeomdanju attempted to go against heaven.]

At that moment, the voice of the Southern Emperor echoed from the Black Palace, pointing it out. Shin So-bin felt that he was unusually surprised.

[Rather, it is great. I really like it. But you should know that the time it takes for you to arrive is like a thousand gold coins to me. I do not waste anything.]

A story full of joy. There is no hostility. There is just a look of welcoming a young comrade.

Could it be that he is projecting himself onto Jeong Yeon-shin?

But that sense of homogeneity is like the dazzling sunlight on the surface of a river. The calmness of the male emperor was as calm as a lake.

-Do not waste anything.

It means that the war will end before Jeongyeonshin arrives.

However, there was no answer from the new sword master. He did not continue his Thousand-Li Land Surveying Technique to hear the words of the Southern Emperor.

If you think about it differently, it also means that it was a point far enough away that the Thousand-Li-Ji-Cheon-Cheon-Sul had to be cast.

Even if I just say what I want to say and break the morale of many of the tribesmen, that’s all.

It was a distance that required saving energy in order to arrive safely. Anyone with a broad mind could guess that there was a flaw in the ‘movement technique of reversing the flow of the sky’.

Because of that, what had just happened had a dream-like feeling and settled into the darkness.

Still, everyone on the battlefield must have felt it. It was a presence and voice that could not be helped.

Shin So-bin also smiled dazzlingly, revealing her neat teeth.

The black ones inside and outside the walls too.

Not only the other blue masters of the Shingeomdan, but also the northern kings of the ‘Heukdo Palace’ at the northern tip of the vast Heukdo would have sensed it.

Saaaa …

Could this be the aftereffect of the appearance of the new sword master?

White clouds slowly rolling in like a tidal wave from a distant mountain ridge.

It seemed as if a storm had broken out where a sea of clouds had originally spread out. Slowly but surely, the sunlight was being obscured piece by piece. Then, with a whoosh, a sharp wind blew in.

Towards the Shingeomdan standing tall in the official residence.

It had a faintly familiar air. Something that practitioners of the same lineage could not help but feel toward their great master.

“… Right?”

“Where…?”

It was around the time when the young reporters of Iphwangseong, Yeonsoha and Sambok, were looking around the back.

A large shadow was cast on the road. A shadow cast by the clouds that had rolled in. The cold air of late winter had become even colder, and Shin So-bin’s breath had also become a thick white color.

ha-

Exhalation is the circle, inhalation is the square. It feels like the path of energy has become much stronger.

She almost laughed out loud without realizing it, but what actually escaped her lips was a groan of relief.

“ah.”

You can’t do without a teacher. That’s the case now.

‘Just focus on your mission.’

Shin So-bin thought.

The momentum that had been rising up in all directions in the Black Sea seemed to have faltered as if it were a lie. For a moment, morale was broken. In front of the name of the Northern Emperor.

Of course, this happened because the Black Sword’s martial arts forces all possessed outstanding morale. You must not let your guard down.

“let’s go.”

Hong Ju-geom opened his mouth. The corners of his lips, stained with scars, were turned up.

“You can go. Keep moving forward. No matter what the Emperor does.”

“okay.”

Ma Gwang-ik and Oh Wol-hyang answered.

She couldn’t hold back her tears from her eyes. She was a one-armed swordsman. If she had taken away the hand holding the sword handle at this moment, she would have no other arm left.

However, O-wol-hyang did not put away her long sword. Rather, she seemed to regard the scabbard lying behind her as something that had never existed before. The other masters of the Shin-geom-dan were the same.

It is because of the sounds of the vast metropolis closing in on all sides at this moment.

Even though they were momentarily stopped by Jeongyeonshin’s presence, the enemy’s aerodynamic waves were still overwhelming. This was natural, since Namje had previously boosted their aerodynamic power with his mantra.

There was even a force of martial artists who almost clashed with the Shingeomdan outside the Black Tower. Immediately, the sound of horse hooves began to resonate again from the rear.

It’s simple.

You can think of it as being blocked on both the front, back, and sides.

In that case, it would be right to go ahead.

Kwaaaaang!

The Shingeomdan kicked the road again. Another earthquake occurred as the propulsive wave burst from the soles of the blue ones’ feet.

The target is the Black Palace. If we can disrupt the traditional formation of the tombs even a little, their leader will take care of the rest.

“The enemy was only shaken for a moment. They would have reorganized their ranks by now.”

“The Northern King has more than ten of them. The Northern King’s army will be of that size. Even if you exclude the Southern Emperor’s black sword forces, it’s ridiculous. We must quickly enter the palace. Whether we live or die there.”

It was a conversation between Sambok and Yeonsoha.

Nearly seven hundred enemy soldiers were charging toward them. They all had distorted faces and held giant weapons like axes and swords as lightly as reed leaves.

Kuguguguguguung―

The ground shook violently. The roofs of the nearby buildings shook like window panes. The entire city seemed to shake.

It was from then on.

Shin So-bin began to sense the world slowly among her seniors. She didn’t know why. All the sights that came into her eyes became dreamlike and blurred.

In a very unstable state of coin possession.

I felt a great sense of relief.

The spirit of the upper body is exalted. It is a form that follows the emotions that have already risen to the head. This is possible because the mind is in a state of great ups and downs due to the teacher. Her breath has become thicker.

ha-

The body polished with a pure heart convulsed briefly. As the successor to a prestigious family, the already sufficient energy surged from the lower abdomen, then opened the middle abdomen in the chest and rose to the top of the head.

bang!

A bolt of lightning struck Jeongsu-ri. Now, even the black hair that usually only covered the nape of his neck stood up.

At the same time, Shin So-bin’s vision changed. The Jeon Gak-gun, which had been spread out in the distance just a moment ago, was now flying away together with the Shin Geum-dan.

I lost consciousness for a moment, even though my body was moving normally.

“Are you piercing the Imdokyang vein right now? Really in this situation? How deep did you dig into the Donggong (動功)…?”

It’s Yeonhwa’s voice.

“Shut up.”

It was a response that came out of her lips naturally. She was completely in a state of possession. She didn’t even have time to look back at her senior.

– Since you chose the main character.

Because another loud noise erupted from my head.

bang!

The leather shoes were clammy. The smell of blood was carried by my breath.

“… … !”

This time, there was blood on his body. His right shoulder blade was also cold to the bone, as if he had finally used a razor blade.

At the foot of the cliff, the corpse of a warrior of the Yo clan, whose shape was difficult to recognize, was forming a pool of blood.

bang!

It changes again.

On the roof of some huge pavilion.

Shin So-bin passed by the sight of King Bazra’s left arm being frozen and shattered.

The artificial leg of the Mugeuk Jeonju Geumcheongwon was being pulled out along with the tendon of his thigh, and the Cheonryong Daeju Wijigeuk was holding onto Vazra’s ankle with his body that had been torn apart by lightning and was slamming him down to the rafters.

Meanwhile, the Lord of the Sunmok Mountains, Cheon So-so, was found unconscious while standing.

It is not a battle that a single group can delicately intervene in. At least for now, it is the same for Shin So-bin.

bang!

The army of martial artists that had been spread out beyond Bazra’s shoulders was now right in front of him. Of course, the Shingeomdan had rushed in. Before the Black Swordsmen could lend their strength to Great King Bazra.

bang!

After they were annihilated, the mass charge of the Gwangyegyeol was leaving behind afterimages like a cluster of stars in broad daylight. Like the dawn that had been brought in early.

Meanwhile, the area before my eyes was filled with more formal buildings than before.

It is the residential area of the black-haired high-ranking officials.

More than halfway there.

‘…ah.’

Now, both of Shin So-bin’s arms were sore. It felt like the vibration was going to go right through her bones. It felt like her shoulders were literally going to fall off.

Meanwhile, Yeon-hwa, Sambok, and O-wol-hyang glanced at her with astonished eyes. Everyone was still safe. Although they didn’t know how long this situation would last.

But Shin So-bin only thought of Jeong Yeon-shin.

‘You used this ring so many times.’

My mind is full of the Master. The exhilaration of being possessed by Juhwa is tremendous. Every time my vision changes, I become closer to Jeongyeonshin mentally.

The explosion that was once again starting to surge up to Baekhoehyeol was so pleasant. Come, come more.

-This should be called Jeonggadonggong.

bang!

The scene before my eyes changed again.

A huge hemispherical ground was in front of me. The pipes were sunken, and in the center, a steel spearhead was waving its tail. If you look closely, it looked like an arrow.

It was as if a meteor had fallen with just one strike, leaving an overwhelming trace. The Shingeomdan that entered the black hole was stopped for the first time by others.

It was clear that it had been fired from the Black Palace.

If you shorten the distance and increase the power of the 13th Thousand Dark Night Warlord’s 10-Li 1-Sal (十里一殺) attack, this is what will happen. It was a transcendent bombardment.

“King of Cheongung (天宮王)… !”

Hong Ju-geom mentions the name of another Whifungryeong Northern King. He is said to have perfected the archery skills of the ancient Yuan Dynasty. He is said to perform all sorts of extraordinary feats with just one arrow.

As the Shingeomdan turned around, Shin So-bin’s vision went dark for a moment.

bang!

When I opened my eyes again, the ranks of the Shingeomdan had collapsed. How many times had they changed direction? Not only the colleagues around me, but even Shin So-bin herself was breathing heavily.

The familiar King of the North stood before my eyes.

‘The King of Extremes…!’

A woman with her face covered with pitch-black cotton, and completely transparent from the neck down.

It looks like a wide alleyway is blocked by a single person.

She was said to possess the best self-defense technique in the world. It was said that the flesh and internal defense barrier of the Sixth Heavenly Sword Master Moon-gok had to be combined to create her Heavenly Sword Armor.

“Shin So-bin, the queen of blood.”

Her cotton wavy little skirt flapped.

“Tell me what you talked about with the Dragon King the other day. I can’t tell if she’s an ally or an enemy.”

“I don’t know, but why did you betray us?”

In response to Shin So-bin’s question, Chigeukwang said:

“I’ve been thinking about it for quite some time, but I’ve come to the conclusion that the Northern Qi’s cause and skills are inferior to those of the Southern Qi. The New Sword Master ultimately does not have the luxury of embracing the Yao tribe, and above all, his military strategies are incomparable to those of the Southern Qi. As you know, I am the Northern King, whose protection is important, and the Southern Qi is the perfect vessel for an emperor.”

The sound of Hong Ju-geom’s breathing followed.

“Whistle blowing…! I was being hunted!”

The same realization followed for Shin So-bin.

Namje had locked the Shingeomdan in the black sea and was treating them like playthings to prevent them from influencing the manifestation of the gods.

Right time, right place. Literally, placing the right experts at the right time and place.

Meanwhile, the story of King Chigeuk was indifferent.

“This is a great battle. It goes without saying that strategy and tactics are necessary. The Northern Qi, which has achieved success by fighting alone, has no chance of winning. He is, after all, just a young man with extraordinary martial arts skills.”

[Chi-geuk, that’s a false story.]

At that moment, Namje’s voice interrupts.

Kugu Palace―

Perhaps because he was closer than before, his Six Combatant Spirits also shook the ground much more.

[Managing the martial arts force is not much different from martial arts, so don’t belittle the Divine Sword Master in front of me. At least, he is on a different level from someone like you who breaks loyalty every now and then.]

“… … .”

[He is the one who can get his hands dirty. Unlike you, he sees the cause. So it is enough for you to prove your loyalty to me. Hurry up.]

“…i get it.”

That was it.

It’s not a story of internal strife in particular. Meanwhile, the Shingeomdan has failed to defeat the Chigeuk King, and the troops that have arisen from all over Heukdo are getting closer to this alley by the minute. Shin So-bin’s mind is once again dizzy.

bang!

The vision that had been dark for a moment cleared up. However, King Chigeuk was still right in front of me. There was only a little bit of blood on the translucent black cotton.

I lost consciousness again.

bang!

“… … !”

He is the king of extremes again.

She was receiving the divine swordsman’s power with her whole body. Whenever some blue ones escaped the battlefield towards the sky or the wall, the arrows of the Heavenly Palace King struck down without fail, piercing through the clouds.

Puhwaaaaaaaah!

Pieces of bricks and tiles were flying everywhere, mixed with the blood.

Shin So-bin suddenly felt hot on her back.

Even the floor was rapidly gaining heat, and in an instant, the energy of the Yongcheon point on the soles of my feet was distorted.

‘Lava Lord…!’

The Northern King, who had previously escaped from the combined attack of the Blacks, is now completely trapped. It is the net of heaven and earth created by the Southern Emperor.

Shin So-bin’s Baek Hoe-hyeol vomited out alcohol once again.

Boom!

I opened my eyes quickly, but there was no change.

The King of Chigeuk remained the same.

Just like the Great King Yeomra, he silently flaps his silk and receives all of the divine swordsman’s attacks with only his transparent Heavenly Sword Armor. He does not even give anyone a chance to counterattack with his hasty attacks.

There was no room to put a gold screw in the joint. Even if he had been killed by drying his blood, it would have been better than this.

Her cotton is lifted like lips.

“You must die for our country to live. There will be no compromise.”

It was far away.

A super strong self-defense weapon.

There was no other diamond. It might be right to say that he was the best in the world. If it had been another northern king, he would not have been imprisoned like this.

Sambok shouted.

“A large number of shockwaves in the air to the left…! It’s the Heavenly Palace King again!”

It finally begins. It is the operation of the Southern Emperor’s martial arts force that he had talked about as if it were nothing.

Instead of blocking the defectors, it was a direct bow strike that fell on the Shingeomdan, who were completely blocked at this moment. It was certain that Chigeukwang’s Heavenly Sword Armor would not be pierced by such a bombardment.

It was also expected that only the Shingeomdan would be pierced and die.

At that moment, Shin So-bin kicked the ground and jumped up.

She was holding a spiraling vortex from her right hand. She didn’t even dare look at the King of Chigeuk.

‘First, I have to block the arrows with my sword…!’

There is only one way. Her Shihwamu Geuksu cannot penetrate Chigeukwang’s internal defense barrier.

The problem was the reaction speed.

Will I be able to properly hit the arrows of the Heavenly King that are pouring down from the sky like meteors in dozens of branches at the right moment? Or will I be pierced by them and die instantly?

That was when.

thud!

The vision flickered. The shock struck Baihuixue again. But this time, it was brief.

The body is still rising.

Dozens of shock waves were coming from the Black Palace. Suddenly, Shin So-bin felt that the surroundings had become even slower, as if they had fallen into a swamp.

thud!

When the light went out and came back on, something strange appeared. A line of bluish light ran across the wilderness, encircling even the darkness. It was a transcendently wide range. It was literally as fast as a ray of light.

Even though it is a world where all things have slowed down due to the signs of the unification of the spirit and the soul.

‘Taegeuk…?’

Without even giving her a chance to question it.

[Entering the Way and Crossing the Moon.]

[Entering the Way and Crossing the Moon.]

[Entering the Way and Crossing the Moon.]

From the distant mountains, echoing overlappingly. It was a familiar thought. It clearly struck my head three times in a row.

thud-!

As soon as I regained consciousness, I saw three beams of light. They were traveling an absurdly long distance, and they fell while tearing apart the thick white sea of clouds.

Shock waves burst out along the trajectory, biting each other. It only took a moment for them to swallow up the Heavenly Palace King’s barrage all at once.

Shin So-bin hurriedly lowered her eyes to the ground.

Kuung―!

A blue-black spark exploded from the chest of the King of Chigeuk. For some reason, the blue sword that seemed to be the favorite weapon of the Heavenly Sword Master had hit his temple.

The first blow caused a crack to spread across his transparent body for a moment.

Two more fell down.

Kwakwaaaaaah!

The upper body of the King of Chigeuk was blown away by the tremendous shock wave. The long-range sword strike was even accompanied by a second-hand sword technique.

As soon as the Heavenly Sword Armor was completely destroyed, the three sword hilts were stuck in the ground and began to tremble.

Her lower body was not visible.

Not even a drop of blood was left behind.

“… … .”

For a moment, the city held its breath. It was a deep silence, so deep that even the archery of the Heavenly King ceased.

[I will conduct from now on.]

It was Jeong Yeon-shin’s voice. It sounded calmly from the position of a junior, and then descended like a cloud with the words and actions of the new sword master.

[Follow the orders.]
