Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time Chapter 66

fame

“Right now, right now, the Lord has come······?”

Heonwonchang stuttered.

A look of agitation spread across the face of Wijimyohwa, who was standing next to him.

Even the asceticism he had accumulated at the sacred site of Taoism, Jongnamsan, was revealed in amazement.

“His Majesty the King himself······.”

“It has been a long time since the Lord of the Castle has been out on a journey. It has been about fifteen years since the destruction of the Daeri Kingdom.”

Cheongmyeong spoke slowly.

Fifteen years was the time it took for a generation of young masters to change in the martial arts world. It meant that for a long time, no one had ever displayed their divine power.

Like many young people, some of the later generations who have developed deep internal energy through elixirs look down on the older generations.

Martial arts were an art that developed over time.

No disciple of the famous orthodox martial arts master would be afraid of the peerless martial arts of hundreds of years ago.

However, the Lord of the Heavenly Palace was a different being.

“I have seen with my own eyes the divine merit that destroyed the Yunnan Dynasty······.”

Wijimyohwa muttered while stroking his sword. The shock was intense. It was enough to temporarily dispel his worries about Jeongyeonshin.

Cheongmyeong glanced at her and waved his hand at Heonwonchang.

“I can’t even imagine how fast he’ll be able to use his lightness. It wouldn’t be strange if he had already entered Namjikrye. Tell Jihyun to prepare for the reception. You’ll also have to call the branch of the Hwijubu. We must welcome him with the dignity of a king.”

“Even the branch office staff!”

Heonwonchang left the room, making a fuss.

A human god descends, whose expression “a thousand armies and ten thousand horses” is not even enough.

The branch manager who governed the entire Hwiju was three ranks higher than Jihyeon.

He has a status no less than that of the head of the Namgung family. Even so, he must be respectful in front of the Lord of Iphwangseong.

Because she is a queen recognized by the emperor.

“The Lord is coming. Get ready.”

“······What did you say?”

Heonwonchang conveyed Cheongmyeong’s words to Jihyun, and immediately looked at the bastard’s face, who was in a state of confusion.

Here, Jihyeon was closely related to Namgung Se-ga, a local noble family in Namjikrye.

The previous indifference towards the request for military service has disappeared without a trace.

It was when I came out of the government office.

A middle-aged swordsman wearing a blue uniform stood in the main hall. His gaze glaring at Heonwonchang was unusual.

It didn’t look like he was consciously raising his energy, but the energy waves that spread and permeated the atmosphere layer by layer were extremely heavy.

‘The boundless sword of the blue sky!’

Heonwonchang immediately thought of the Namgung family. Even their attire was the same as those damned men’s.

“You guys are a piece of shit.”

The swordsman with a long, black beard said.

“You are plotting something outrageous. How dare you disregard your hometown and gather together the people of Namjikrye? You have no respect for the local aristocrats, so you are no different from a bunch of unruly Sapa.”

“Who are you?”

“His name is Namgung Wi. He is a ruffian from the Imperial Palace.”

Heonwonchang kept his mouth shut for a moment.

I knew it well. He was the vice-chairman of the famous Changgunggeomcheondan (蒼穹劍天團).

He was said to be one of the best swordsmen in Namjikrye. He was a master that even the most accomplished blue-skinned masters would have a hard time guaranteeing victory over.

‘I could easily lose my neck.’

The Namgung family was known to be above the Hwangbo family.

Judging by Ji-Hyeon’s attitude, his collusion with local government officials must be enormous.

It was a power that could commit murder right in the middle of a government office and still bury the case.

Heonwonchang opened his mouth carefully.

“You filthy hypocrite. Knowing the baseless behavior of your family, how can you still talk about courtesy? How did you memorize Confucius and Mencius and the Four Books and Five Classics to say such pitiful words? Are you not ashamed to look up to your parents who have already passed away?”

The accumulated aging was released in a soft tone.

There was a gentle spirit spreading through his body.

Namgungwi’s reaction was a breath late.

“What did you say?”

“You are the true Sapa’s unmanned person. Didn’t you watch the death of the late Jisoo, who was trying to stabilize the people’s lives by cutting off the heads of the cultists? Now, the true nature of the cult is to gather the martial artists to strike down the cult, but you, who are ignoring my actions while talking about the honor of your family······”

As Heonwonchang continued speaking, the internal energy waves that occurred in Namgungwi’s body became stronger.

Heonwonchang didn’t care.

“It is truly a sight to behold.”

He ends his speech with a cool expression. Namgungwi shook his head.

“······Did you think that you wouldn’t be able to draw your sword since you were an official?”

Woof.

The bastard’s sword began to let out a mighty howl.

They say he was a famous swordsman, and indeed his sword skills were extraordinary.

It was when Heonwonchang was putting his true energy into his throat to sing Cheongmyeong and Wijimyohwa.

Bam.

There was no cutting sound.

Namgungwi’s neck was torn off by a sudden breeze. His head fell off in vain.

It was natural, like a fallen leaf that suddenly fell.

First, the body of the famous swordsman fell to the other side of the rolling ground.

It was an ending so vain that it didn’t even come close to being a fleeting reality.

Since when?

A gentle breeze, like a gust of wind, blew around the surroundings. It was a very strange moment.

They were colorless gusts of wind, but they seemed to have a faint green tint, fluttering in all directions.

Time seemed to have frozen in the government office. A soft transcendence was sprouting in the room filled with silence.

“Namgung’s sins.”

A clear voice rang out from the rooftop.

“I ask with a sense of humor.”

The hem of her clothes, the color of light grass, fluttered long.

Heonwonchang had already tilted his head upwards. His eyes were wide open as if they were going to tear apart.

Soon, I knelt down with a measured posture, and a trembling sensation spread throughout my entire body.

* * *

“Are you awake?”

A pitiful whisper tickled my ears. It was a deep breath of inner energy. I was used to it now. The exhalation of the Seven Sado.

Jeongyeonshin opened her eyes right away. She didn’t feel anything right away.

If I wanted to, I could sharpen my entire body’s energy senses, but the activation of my true energy was slow for a moment.

I knew right away that I had been subdued.

‘I’ve been hit by the devil’s blood again.’

Chil-sado’s face covered half of my vision. It was an expression of deep affection. I could also sense desire.

Jeongyeonshin stared at the red eyes for a while and then opened her mouth.

“What did you do?”

“I want to treasure your dazzling body. I drew a picture. So that the child I see as you will remain in our school forever.”

She smiled and straightened her back.

Only then did Jeong Yeon-shin recognize the pungent smell of food and paint.

He must be an expert in calligraphy. His entire body was drawn on a large piece of paper in Chil Sado’s hand.

It wasn’t a portrait or anything like that. It was a reproduction of the inside of a body.

The entire body’s meridians, blood vessels, and three danjeon, including the eight meridians of the qi meridian, were particularly noticeable.

It was the upper part of the head that was in contact with the blood vessels that were wide open from the crown of the head. It was drawn in astonishing detail.

Human body diagram.

It is an observation of the physical body by putting true energy into Jeongyeonshin’s body.

Chilsado is a master of qigong. It would have been easy for him to just scan the body.

She raised her lips.

“Do you think we can raise a child who has even a little bit of your qualities?”

“······I’ve heard. They say that a strange god comes out of the Blood Flame Sect. Does he use the power of regeneration for his medical skills? It’s likely that doctors who walk the path of righteousness will fall behind.”

“This will be a treasure.”

“You are sacrificing the disciples. You are like the Sapa scum.”

The conversation didn’t mesh. It was a relationship formed by the law of the jungle.

The lively Chilsa-do and the calm Jeongyeon-shin were at odds from the beginning.

He closed his eyes again and focused his mind on his lower abdomen.

The Wolryeongjohwagyeol that was taught to him by Iphwangseongju was said to be a peerless martial art that was rare in the world.

It took quite a while for me to train to create a new, extremely fast-paced deep space.

Just by carefully examining and inquiring into the scriptures, my knowledge has expanded.

Yes, Jeong Yeon-shin was already familiar with the method of rising tonap.

‘So this is what comes back to me after telling the Lord my deepest feelings.’

As soon as I returned after receiving the secret from the Blood Flame Cult Leader, the image of the bloody blood of the Mara Hong Blood Demon spread across my mind.

I have categorized the effects of deep breathing to some extent.

I was able to distinguish the lump that affected the brain. I took it out right away.

“What are you doing······?”

Chilsado spoke cautiously. It seemed as if he had been mindful of the fact that he had repeatedly apologized after getting angry alone yesterday.

Jeongyeonshin learned the energy of Mara Hongheolgong without paying attention.

I did as the Seven Sado wished. I took the nature of the blood energy contained in her body.

‘it’s okay.’

What happened after dismantling the sphere was a snap. The new path of operation of the true energy was engraved in my mind.

It was possible to remove the true energy of the Seven Sado, which was contained in his blood and held his lifeline.

I also found out one more thing.

‘The regenerative power of blood circulation comes from the extraction of true energy.’

The leader’s words came to mind. He told me not to touch the fundamentals. The two branches of the Blood Flame Sect were one and the same.

Even if you know the technique, you can’t use it openly outside.

Jeong Yeon-shin was already thinking about escaping.

He slowly moved his lips away.

“Your martial arts.”

“Huh? Huh?”

“I’m starting with the Mara Hong Bloodletting. Can I really match it to you? It’s the martial arts of all the apostles.”

“ah!”

Chil-sado’s face lit up with pure joy. She nodded repeatedly.

“Other guys have such a ridiculous pride that they think they’re super experts! You won’t even learn it, right? Just look at me! The leader will be concerned about the super blood attack!”

Then he brought out a neatly folded package and handed it to me. It was red.

Judging by its thickness and shape, it was a red robe. It was similar to the clothes she liked to wear.

“It’s a pure blood robe. It was made by weaving together the magic of our school and the silk of heaven. It is said that even the most advanced swords won’t be able to scratch it.”

“······It’s a ghost.”

“Yes. Our school doesn’t have many sets. Only apostles can receive them.”

The Emperor’s uniform had already been confiscated. Jeong Yeon-shin looked down at the package and opened her mouth.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

“Do you still have feelings for Ip Hwang-seong?”

Chilsado tilted his head slightly and asked, but Jeongyeonshin did not answer.

I looked at the formation yesterday and made some plans.

I had to go around here and there and instill energy into various still lifes.

How did he accept the silence? Chil-sado made all sorts of expressions on his own.

Perhaps because of the words that he was taking care of the Mara Hong blood vessel, I felt anger and possessiveness that I couldn’t express easily.

There seemed to be a slight sense of regret.

‘It’s not for me. It’s because of my desires.’

It was an emotion that Jeongyeonshin didn’t need to be distressed by. It was probably the sorrow that a Blood Flame Cultist felt.

It was the moment when I shook my head inwardly and opened the door wide.

The voice that had been irritating my ears since the afternoon suddenly got louder.

“······And so, a new Taesa has appeared in our church! Your hair will be equal to that of all the apostles! And so, I will strike down the sword of punishment on those wicked Beijing crowd and the hypocritical thugs!”

“He is the son of Samsado. His name is Go Jong-hak.”

Chilsa-gyo spoke in a strange tone.

There were red flags everywhere. There seemed to be at least a few hundred Blood Flame Cultists.

The man who had been speaking passionately while standing on the central platform of the village suddenly turned his head. His eyes met Jeong Yeon-shin’s.

For a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up.

“There he is! He is there! He has revealed His face to us!”

A huge number of eyes were focused on Ko Jong-hak’s gesture. Even Chil Sado turned his gaze and smiled faintly.

The following shouts by Ko Jong-hak were filled with sincerity.

“He is the one who will lead our sect to Beijing! Ah! Look at him with your eyes! The miracles that the Grand Master will perform will change our sect! I humbly request that you, Grand Master, show us a miracle for the poor people who are trapped in the flames of blood!”

The transfer he was talking about seemed to mean a change in the blood type of the super-blood, but it was a demand that did not make sense.

It’s only been a day since I regained consciousness and spent the night at the main camp.

‘Even the Blood Flame Cult Leader didn’t mention the immediate results.’

He was said to be the son of Samsado, who tested Jeongyeonshin with the inner wall. It was the moment when I realized that there was political strife even in social circles.

He intends to use his existing reputation to cause great embarrassment. Is it true that a group of lunatics is a place where people live?

Because of what the Seven Apostles said in the cult leader’s speech, I learned that the Three Apostles and their children were aiming for the leader’s position.

The lust for power that broke through the madness of bloodshed has come to me anew.

Jeongyeonshin shook out the bundle she was holding. The bright red, wide hem of her clothes came loose and waved like a flag.

He began to put on his long coat without saying a word.

With a few small gestures, the pureblood robe covering his body fluttered red with blood.

“······.”

The room became quiet. Ko Jong-hak was no exception.

Jeongyeon Shin’s appearance was that strange.

Woof.

Is this the reason why the madness-stricken Mara Hong Bloodthirsty Gong began its fortunes?

It was a prayer that had never been heard before from the Blood Flame Church.

Even though the blood sect’s energy was clear, the transparent energy began to create a mysterious atmosphere unique to the Blood Flame Sect.

Some of the followers began to murmur. All sorts of words came out from everywhere. Leader, great master, apostle, pureblood······.

The air waves of his entire body created a wind. The jet-black hair swayed around the shoulders of the red robe.

At this moment, his appearance was no different from that of the direct descendant of the Blood Flame Sect.

“Show me the miracle of the Grand Master?”

He asked.
