Chapter 2
Cheolpuk!
The pond where the fairy washed her hair was trampled..
“Ignore everything else! Catch the Yujeongmok!”
A group of about thirty people took independent action..
The attire was the uniform of the Samak Swordsman, but something was strange..
It was ignoring Jeong Hwi-ryeon, which should have been the priority..
“Yoo Jeong-mok!”
pababat!
Something that should not have come out of the disciples of the Three Evil Sword Sect came out..
The sleeves swelled and a memorization appeared..
“Inhale.”
Yoo Jeong-mok, who was teaming up with Shim Ok-ryeon, was shocked..
‘Memorization?’
The reason the Samak Sword Sect betrayed the Murim Alliance and, by extension, the political sect, was because of their inferiority complex as a sect..
No matter how bad I am, I am not crazy enough to choose memorization because my pride is in martial arts, especially the sword..
“lower pressure!”
Yoo Jeong-mok quickly moved his sword to strike away the memorization to prevent it from flying to Shim Ok-ryeon next to him..
‘called my name.’
It was neither Jeong Hwi-ryeon nor Shim Ok-ryeon..
As Yu Jeong-mok, who was not only skilled in martial arts but also had an extraordinary intelligence, his judgment was quick..
“Protect Jang Moon-in!”
Yoo Jeong-mok shouted and got away from Cho Ye-sae and Shim Ok-ryeon..
And as expected, an unidentified group followed..
“Who are you! reveal yourself!”
“It doesn't matter if you use a somewhat rough method.!”
One of the thirty people who appeared to be the commander shouted..
“Grab Yujeongmok!”
“Ugh!”
When Yoo Jeong-mok realized that conversation was useless, he retreated from the royal palace and widened the distance as much as possible..
It was an action for fear that Jang Moon-in would get caught up..
I wondered what if it was a trap, but luckily, they didn't seem to be interested in Jeong Hwi-ryeon at all..
“where!”
The unknown person clung to him like a tail and stretched out his sword..
nettle!
The sword stabbed in from the front..
‘Umm?’
But there was a sudden change in direction..
It was the wrist, not the chest that was initially targeted..
‘no murderous intent.’
Yoo Jeong-mok was puzzled and struck away the sword aimed at his wrist..
Jjaeng!
“Taaap!”
As soon as I struck out the sword, a series of attacks came in..
Two people each rushed to the side of the unknown person in front..
The sword drew a vertical line from the top left and right, and was fired from just below, aiming at the side..
‘This……’
Yoo Jeong-mok’s doubts did not disappear..
Even at the moment of imminent action, he guessed what the enemy's intentions were..
“Hehe!”
Aura that is not large or saggy.
I calmly exhale and spread my sword wide, up, down, left and right..
The inner energy that closed like a flower bud was eventually converted into energy, forming a curtain with plum blossoms in full bloom..
Chaechaejang!
“Nonsense!”
The crowd at the front was astonished..
No matter how much you excluded the flesh, it was an attack that did everything in its power to prevent you from moving..
However, it was surprising that they stopped everything while they were retreating..
“Seven-Jeol Plum Blossom Sword)!”
Someone recognized Yu Jeong-mok's sword and shouted..
“Is it a cartoon tabernacle?!”
“Crash!”
Twenty-four plum sword techniques are given only to plum sword swordsmen..
Ju Seo-cheon is an exception because it is so unique, but it is usually only allowed to the Maehwa Geomsu, Ye Geomsu, or retired Geomsu..
Yu Jeong-mok was unable to become a plum sword master due to his health, so he was unable to receive the training, and he was too old when he recovered from his chronic illness..
So the one I chose was this seven-pointed plum sword..
“bout!”
Yoo Jeong-mok is a person known for his good personality not only in his clan but also in martial arts circles..
The nickname was also given as Sojugeom thanks to the soft, elegant, and benevolent smile he always had on his lips..
But that doesn't mean it's weak.
I'm not the type of kid who would hesitate to kill in this river, and I'm definitely not an idealist..
“Wow!”
“Ouch!”
Six unknown people fell to the ground after being cut by swords..
“Pfft!”
Twenty and four people clicked their tongues and hesitated..
He looked embarrassed, but he didn't forget to surround him..
“indeed.”
Yu Jeong-mok looked at those surrounded and nodded..
“What is your identity??”
“I guess it's Master Joo Seo-cheon, so you're quick to notice..”
An unknown person, or rather the Seven Star Soldiers of the Dark Heaven Society, became irritated..
“If you were truly from the Three Evil Swordsman Sect, there is no way you would have followed me with Jang Mun-in just around the corner..”
“Did you arrive at the answer just for that reason??”
“What is it that makes this insignificant middle-aged warrior follow me to the end?.
Seeing as there is no murderous intent in the sword, I guess he is planning to take me somewhere... … The answer is obvious.
If you don't have any grudges against me, I guess you're thinking of using my student, Seocheon, as a hostage to blackmail me..”
Yoo Jeong-mok is a famous person in the Hwasan faction..
That was because he was the swordsman's teacher..
Moreover, since the swordsman constantly praised Yu Jeong-mok, he could not help but become famous..
“You're smart, so you can talk quickly, Jeongmok Yoo..”
When the commander raised his hand, the Seven Star Soldiers narrowed the siege..
‘Indeed, it is a dark circuit. Each and every one is a master of excellence..’
Yu Jeong-mok looked calm on the outside, but inside he was completely different..
I was nervous in many ways..
The minimum level is the peak, and the rest is the peak..
The masters of Hwagyeong were nowhere to be seen, but there were too many of them..
Even after a fierce battle with the Chuye incident just now..
“It won't be easy.”
When Yoo Jeong-mok raised his sword, a strong energy formed..
“examination!”
“He was a master of hwagyeong.……”
It hasn't been long since the Seven Star Soldiers arrived on the battlefield..
I didn't see Yoo Jeong-mok use the sword during the fierce battle with Cho-ye-sang, so I didn't even know about it..
‘I've never heard of Hwagyeong.……’
Above all, the exact state of Yujeongmok is not known..
I just knew that I was at the top at the peak..
Due to the nature of martial arts that like to be known, if a disciple of a monk achieves the ultimate feat of martial arts, even if it is not the person himself, it is known to raise the name and influence of the monk..
However, Yoo Jeong-mok was not the type of person who particularly liked to step forward on his own, and even if he wasn't, he felt burdened just by being Geomshin's master, so he hoped to pass by quietly..
Jeong Hwi-ryun, the current scholar-in-residence, willingly accepted the request of the martial artist he admired and the teacher of Joo Seo-cheon, whom he respected second only to Woo Il-mun..
That was the reason why Yujeongmok’s level was unknown..
“Phew……”
After resolving a chronic illness that was not a chronic illness thanks to his disciple, Yu Jeong-mok focused on training as if to relieve the frustration of the past..
In fact, the fact that I couldn't pass the plum inspection was due to a chronic illness, and there was no question about my talent or ability..
In the first place, he was a man who climbed cliffs on his own without any physical strength..
Martial arts training also had a strange lack of common sense in terms of effort, so the training was so harsh that everyone was tongue-tied..
Because of his fame, he did not appear in the Gangho, but he was able to reach the top of the world, perhaps thanks to endless training..
“Solve it before Joo Seo-cheon comes..”
“Take Yu Jeong-mok with you even if it means risking your life.!”
“Keep in mind Cheongi’s words.!”
* * *
rattle.
My body trembled like an aspen tree..
My hands became weak and I almost lost the sword..
Just a moment ago, there was a brutal exchange of swords with the enemy..
I was trying to push through, trying to push away somehow..
The odds were in sight..
The obscurity of the volcanic wave seemed meaningless..
However, the situation changed with the appearance of a certain person..
“Who, who?……?”
Plum leaves are fluttering.
Even though the weather was warm, it was cold like the middle of winter..
It was a nightmare.
I still couldn't believe it.
I couldn't understand what was happening..
Someone suddenly appeared in the air as if flying, but the moment the purple light flashed, the executioners fell down screaming..
“Six seats in heaven).”
An absolute master has walked.
There was no interest in those eyes..
It was like looking at something bothersome..
“Sword God).”
It's definitely at the bottom of the hill.
But somehow it seemed as if he was looking down..
“Joo Seocheon.”
The name shook the battlefield, no, the volcano..
“right……”
A sound comes out of someone's mouth……
“Wow!”
It soon turned into a shout.
“Huh, sword body?”
“Joo Seocheon?”
In the case of the Hwasan faction, they were delighted as if they had won a complete victory, but the Samak Sword faction was the opposite..
His complexion became as pale as a corpse, or he seemed frozen and unable to move even a fingertip..
“Nonsense!”
“Why is Geomshin!”
Screams erupted here and there.
Emotions such as surprise, disbelief, and fear were mixed and moved like a whirlpool..
It's no wonder you're surprised.
‘Big, big deal.!’
‘What do we do?’
Joo Seocheon's trip to the North Sea was kept a top secret, but it didn't mean he didn't sense something strange..
In particular, it is Ju Seo-cheon, a person of interest in the Amcheonhoe..
I felt strange because there was no news for a long time..
Although his whereabouts were not clear, I thought there must be at least a reason why he could not be seen..
In response, Amcheonhoe persuaded Geomshin that he would be a genius who would destroy the volcano wave now that he was away..
In other words, Joo Seo-cheon's mere existence meant that he was a deterrent in itself..
However, as that deterrent and symbol of fear appeared on the battlefield, it was only natural that it would cause chaos..
“The best reinforcements have arrived!”
Wi Ji-gyeol thought this was the time and took the lead..
“Show me the volcano sword clearly.!”
“Oh oh!”
It was a volcanic wave that was exhausted by the power difference that was twice as much as just a moment ago..
The atmosphere changed just with the appearance of Joo Seo-cheon..
Wi Ji-gyeol ignored the Taesan sword in front of him and shouted loudly, moving the swordsmen of the volcano..
“This guy!”
Taesanpageom's face, who was openly ignored in front of his eyes, turned red..
The blue veins on my forehead popped out..
It seemed like he was going to rush at me, but he couldn't move at all..
While I was looking at Wi Ji-gyeol, I glanced at Joo Seo-cheon to see if he was worried..
‘Jaysik.’
The rearguard of the Three Evil Sword Sect, Ju Seo-cheon raised his sword high..
‘Hwawoo linear!’
There is no need to mobilize intangible strength..
Jahajingi, which was raised from the lower part of the temple, was spread widely..
Crying!
It was a loud noise that tore my eardrums..
There was a thundering sound as if the sky had fallen..
A large amount of Jaha Jinki poured out from the sword and spread out like a fan, attacking the rearguard of the Three Evil Sword Sect from the front..
Quad deuk!
Jaha Geomgyeol scanned the ground..
The earth shook and rocks erupted as if an earthquake had occurred..
“Ahhhh!”
It was nothing short of a disaster..
It was a sight that made it understandable why an absolute expert is referred to as a top heaven..
No matter how I tried to stop it, it was no use..
The body was blown away while holding the sword, or the part that was not blocked was cut..
“Big, big.!”
“Cough!”
Many people suffered internal injuries from Jaha's storm..
It was devastated as if a typhoon had passed..
“Elder above!”
Joo Seo-cheon called Wi Ji-gyeol and looked at him..
‘That's enough..’
Wijigyeol slowly shook his head up and down..
‘good!’
I felt like running away at once, but I couldn't pretend I didn't see that the monk was in trouble..
Above all, if you don't help, Yoo Jeong-mok's personality will get angry and ask why you ignored him..
“I'll leave the rest to you.!”
Joo Seocheon bent his body like a bow..
And the moment I opened it again, it shot out as if it had bounced..
Gungshin Tan-yeong, who showed his full power, even caused a repercussion..
Sweat-soaked hair flutters as if dancing..
“Phew!”
Taesanpageom was relieved to see Joo Seocheon leave..
But soon his face was crumpled with pride..
‘I said I was relieved?’
The moment I heard Geomshin’s name, I couldn’t move..
And the moment I realized that the emotion was derived from fear, the emotion that had been boiling like lava exploded..
It was a shame.
“This, this, profit!”
I was so angry that I couldn't even speak properly..
“Again……!”
I tried to overcome the volcanic waves all my life..
I didn't like the way I was treated by the volcanic faction wherever I went..
I was annoyed that the volcano faction came first in the five evil sword faction..
It was something I had to overcome someday, and at the same time, I hated them..
I swore to flatten my nose..
But what is this like?.
Instead of flattening it, it held its tail and held its breath like a scared dog..
Rather than telling the swordsman to wait, I was so overwhelmed by his inaction that I couldn't do anything..
“Ahhhhh!”
my heart was hot.
My heart is pounding..
The lower abdomen and lower abdomen jumped like an angry cow as if reacting to emotions..
Moonju of the Taesan faction finally lost his mind..
Geomgang, which should have towered over Oak, has long since fallen below..
Purity was everywhere, and instead, soggy and negative emotions erupted like a reflux..
“What ruined it so much?.”
Wi Ji-gyeol was truly saddened when he saw Taesanpageom..
“Is it not a sense of inferiority rather than a desire to win? If not, is this martial arts world that has been broken for some time?.”
* * *
The swords started facing each other and clashed in the air..
Kwaang!
It was not matter and matter.
The moment the energy that sublimated the power of Mother Nature into the ultimate form of martial arts collided, an explosion occurred..
Layers of atmospheric layers were broken..
The shock wave became a wave and swept around..
“Wow!”
Shim Ok-ryeon was drooling..
After Yoo Jeong-mok retreated, he eventually began to be pushed back..
In addition to the superior sword technique called Jeolmaesanyeopgeomsik, the power that began to surge with the juhwaimma was unusual..
“die!”
Cho Ye-sae shouted and stabbed his sword..
‘this!’
Shim Ok-ryeon made a regretful expression..
The problem was that I was tired just now and took a break..
It was difficult to respond as my body lost balance..
I had no choice but to try to minimize the damage, so I leaned forward and waited for the pain..
Jjaeng!
But at that moment, another sword dug in..
“long essay!”
“Jeong Hwi-ryun!”
Jeong Hwi-ryeon bit her lip tightly..
The purple thread on the sword flickered, but its color was infinitely pale..
No matter how much natural talent he has, Jeong Hwi-ryun is a child who did not meet the requirements..
It couldn't have been Hwagyeong..
Even if you follow the teachings of Geomshin and put in a lot of effort, you will not be able to reach the level of Hwagyeong unless it is a truly special case..
“Is it so important to be the best??”
The eyes of the young Jang Mun-in burned quietly..
“Is it so important that you have to throw away your long-held beliefs, trample on others, and sacrifice a large number of people?.”
Jeong Hwi-ryeon shot back coldly..
“Comparison is ultimately the end of happiness and the beginning of unhappiness.!”
“Wasn’t this martial artist the one who started the comparison?!”
Choye Saesang answered with bloody tears..
“Rank superiority based on martial arts or origin, and arbitrarily rank people as stronger or weaker than others..”
Tendons sprouted from the hand holding the sword..
“Aren't the people who created a society filled with competition so competitive that even happiness is hard to breathe?!”
Chaae Aeng!
Choye Sae-tae struck back the swords of Jeong Hwi-ryeon and Shim Ok-ryeon with all his might..
The two were amazed by the incredible level of aerial power..
The strength of the sword burned brightly like anger, and sparks created by clashing metals flew in all directions..
“How is it different from the Demonic Cult?!”
We were promised competition from the moment we were born..
I was told to study hard and rise above others..
I heard that you have to be superior to others..
I was told to step over someone and trample on them..
He whispered that this level of happiness was not enough and told him to capture even more happiness..
“How is it different from the people who believe that strength is everything?!”
After leaving a place full of rules, the world became a better place..
Judgment was made solely based on talent and background without conversation..
“……main… all.”
The nun’s voice cracked..
Blood began to flow out of the mouth..
The voice was full of pain and screams, as if it had come from under hell..
The blood filled eyes were scary.
“It's a curse……!”
Every time I walked, a vein burst..
The joints creaked..
I felt my bones breaking and my muscles twisting..
His pure white hair was covered in blood and sweat..
“Murim… … I will curse you……!”
“……”
no one could move.
I just stood still as if I was overwhelmed..
Jeong Hwi-ryeon and Shim Ok-ryeon put down their swords..
I wasn't admitting defeat because I was overwhelmed..
There was no need to lift a sword.
My breath is gradually fading away..
My pulse also went down..
Blood poured out of my eyes, mouth, and nose..
But those eyes were still the same.
Instead of becoming weaker, he gave off an even more intense and hateful glow..
