Chapter 10

Paralyzed!
However, the sword only grazed the hem of the black robe due to the swiftly rotated base of the death penalty.
Tadadak!
Yoo Hyuk quickly retreated backwards, catching his breath.
I also caught my breath and looked at Sahyung.
“You bastard…… what happened to you? You changed like this in a week…….”
When the conversion blow didn’t work and he was counterattacked, Yoo Hyuk seemed enraged.
He pointed his finger at him with a bitter smile.
‘If you didn’t stop that, I would have killed you…….’
“Then just beat him up?”
Despite the bitter smile, the words that came out of his mouth were sarcastic.
“No, I won’t!”
Grinding his teeth again, he gripped the sword bottle with both hands and raised the sword to his left.
For some reason, this stance sent shivers down my spine and gave me goosebumps.
“Hey, wait, that’s dangerous!”
Zhang Il’s voice sounded out.
“Dangerous.
The bodyguard of Zhang Yilian, who didn’t say anything even when he was being eaten by a high-risk herbivore.
Then it was as dangerous as I felt it was.
“Shut up, you’re making me angry, I’ll leave you alone!”
The Liu Hyuk Death Sentence took a step forward with his left foot and moved his sword.
“Falling Sky Flower!”
Rapture.
He had heard from his master that it was the last of the Falling Flower Sword Technique.
And that its power was so great that it was unstoppable when unleashed.
“Uh……!
An alarm went off in my head.
‘This is real…….’
The black grim reaper of death loomed before me.
“I don’t want to die!
I brought my inner ball up to polarity to ward it off.
My vision turned purple.
The same clock as when the harmony was broken, the same clock as when I was enlightened.
It might be dangerous, but it was better than dying unable to block it, so I ignored it.
‘That power, surely it can’t be avoided.
A premonition that I couldn’t avoid it, that I wouldn’t be able to block it unless I used all my strength.
That premonition made him tense up even more.
‘Then I’ll counterattack!
I had only one option: fight back.
Concentrating my mind, I took the final step of the Plum Blossom Sword Path, the flag ceremony of the Plum Blossom Full Sky.
“Ha!”
Paaaaah!
As he pushed the qi into the sword, the blue hilt turned purple.
This was also bizarre, but I ignored it and deployed the Plum Blossom Heaven with all my might.
The sword swayed so fast that I couldn’t see it, and a plum-shaped figure appeared.
A feast of plum leaves filled the space between Liu Hyuk and me.
“Plum blossom!”
I clashed with the plum blossoms that were slamming down on me.
Kwaaaaah!
With a tremendous crashing sound, a huge countermovement flowed through his hand.
The sword surged upward as if it were about to bounce off.
The enormous clash of qi and qi made it impossible to breathe.
“Ugh!”
My grip ached like it was being ripped apart.
Air rushed into the vacuum, and a storm-like wind blew him away.
“Aaaah!”
Pop, pop, pop, pop!
My back ached like it was going to break.
Several times my body slammed into the ground, the dark insignia of the clock.
It slammed into a large tree and came to a screeching halt.
“Ugh…….”
Pain shot through my body as the blackened clock returned to normal.
“Ouch…….”
I looked at each of my injuries, the worst being my hand, which was torn and red, and my head, which was cracked open, a trickle of hot water running down my forehead and reddening my vision.
I lifted my limp hand, wiped the blood running down the back of it, and looked ahead.
A huge cloud of dust rose up, obscuring my vision.
It didn’t take long for the dust to settle, and I could see the figure of the dead man standing in it.
“Ouch…….”
His face contorted in pain, his sword stuck in the ground, holding on for dear life.
His grip was as torn and bleeding as mine, and the cuffs of his sword, which bore two plum blossoms as evidence of his clean sword, were torn to shreds.
His lips were trickling blood, and his body was shaking.
“You…… you bastard…….”
Got it!
The executioner Yoo Hyuk drew his sword and staggered over as if nervous.
‘Aaah…… please give me a gentle slap…….’
I didn’t even have the strength to move my fingers.
But the death penalty can move, so my defeat is self-evident.
I closed my eyes, praying for a gentle slap, not a killing blow.
When I opened my eyes a few moments later, the executioner stood in front of me, sword raised high.
“Die…….”
“Ugh…….”
The sword held perpendicular to my neck.
If I hit it, I will die, one hundred and one.
I’m thinking, “Is this how it’s going to be?” but I don’t feel any pain in my neck, no matter how much time passes.
When I opened my eyes to look at him, he was trembling.
“Kwak!”
Chuah!
The sword that was about to strike landed next to him.
“Hmph!
If it had fallen forward a bit, it would have pierced his nose.
His body, which had been burning hot, became cold.
But worse than that, Yoo Hyuk spat blood on my clothes and collapsed on top of me.
‘Oh, he’s heavy…….’
It’s hard enough to carry my own body, but I can’t even carry the weight of Yoo Hyuk’s body…….
As I tried to move my body to get away from Yoo Hyuk’s body, I saw Jang Il, who had been watching from the side, walking towards me.
‘He’s going to kill me this time? I’m so unlucky…….’
I closed my eyes tightly in despair.
Jab! Jaw!
But I didn’t feel any pain again, and my body relaxed as something that was pressuring my body disappeared.
“……??”
I opened my eyes to see Zhang Il carrying Yoo Hyuk and looking at me with a strange look in his eyes.
“Chet, you’ve won, this guy, you don’t have a handful of jin. You’re going to die if you don’t heal him fast.”
With that, Zhang Yil ran out of the clearing.
“Woohoo.”
Although he was reluctant to leave because he had won the battle, he breathed a sigh of relief that he was still alive. He immediately lay on his back facing the sky and began to cry.
First, the bottom war.
Since the most serious thing right now is the physical body, I gathered my qi through inhalation and drove it into the lower realm.
Then, I channeled the energy into the blood vessels through the ninth step of the Self-Healing Method to do the qigong.
After repeating this a few times, the death-like pain eased a bit and he was able to stand up.
“Whoosh!”
It was very painful to hold the sword because of the torn grip.
On top of that, the sword was soaked in sweat that it felt like salt had been sprinkled on the wound.
“Ouch!”
But I gritted my teeth and returned.
His head throbbed from the blood dripping from his head.
I needed urgent medical attention.
He staggered to his feet and made his way to the drunken rock.
Unlike usual, it took him an hour to reach the clinic.
On the way back, I was so exhausted that I almost fainted, but then I realized that I would die if I did, so I pulled myself together and returned.
“Ouch…….”
I pushed open the door with a bitter grip and pulled a small box out of a chest in the corner.
It contained the medicine he usually used when he was injured.
Inside you’ll find bandages, poultices, and hemostatic acid.
First, he splashed water from the earthenware vessel he had saved for washing his face on his hands to wash away the blood.
It was extremely painful to wash it off.
Then I sprinkled hemostatic acid.
“Ouch…….”
Burning pain.
I held on, and this time I sprinkled the salt that Master Mujin used for disinfection.
Another wave of pain.
This time it was unbearable.
I stand corrected if I said it felt like sprinkling salt on an open wound when I touched the sword bottle.
This was nothing compared to that.
“Ouch! Ouch…….”
Quickly, I pulled a bandage out of the compartment and wrapped it around my hand.
I gripped it with my fingertips and pulled the bandage tight.
Soon enough, the pain faded.
With the little water that remained in the earthenware, I wiped the blood from his head, sprinkling it with hemostatic acid and ultramarine salt.
The pain was as intense as the grip.
I wrapped the bandage tightly.
Once I was out of the immediate danger, I had a strange thought.
With both of my hands bandaged, I felt like a priests.
“This is not the time for sentimentalizing…….”
I wonder how long it’s been since I’ve been out of an emergency situation…….
I dragged my aching body up to the bed and sat down in a recliner.
I closed my eyes and began to pray according to the Jahasim method again.
It wasn’t enough to just do a little bit of crying.
I felt a little better, but only a little.
I had to go to the medicine house to treat the wound on my head, and I needed to recover enough to run.
‘Gongxin Breathing Power Self-Harm Harmony Cuisine…….’
As I muttered the mantra and moved my energy, my senses were heightened and I could feel a tingle.
I stopped and turned toward the door to see Yeonhwa, the owner of the popular chakra.
“You…… you…….”
Yeon-hwa stuttered, as if shocked by something.
“Ah…… hello.”
I waved my hand in greeting, and she came over with an angry face, raised her fist above my head, and slammed it down.
BANG!
“Ouch…….”
“Ah…… is your head okay, no, not like this, what happened to you!”
“Oh, I just got a little bruised while doing bimu.”
The bandage wrapped around my hand and the bandage wrapped around my head hadn’t been on for long, but they were already red.
“This isn’t just an accidental injury in bimu! Your palm is completely torn, and your head is cracked!”
Dadadada blurted out, and Yan Hua opened the box containing the soothing medicines.
“Did you apply the hemostatic acid?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, enough with the hemostatic acid, you’ll need a new bandage, some antiseptic for disinfection, and some restorative pills…….”
Yan Hua muttered to herself and came to my side with her hands full of medicines.
“I’ll take off the bandages first.”
With that, she carefully unwrapped the bandages from close range.
Yanhua’s head was right in front of my face.
Only a few inches away.
I felt my nostrils flutter as I caught a whiff of her fragrance on the breeze.
I turned my head away, feeling strange, and stared at the wall.
“Why do you have to turn your face away? It’s hard to get the bandages off!”
I couldn’t answer.
There was a bitter, stinging, tearing pain, but I made a mental note to endure it.
“I’m glad the head wound isn’t too bad. I think you’ll recover after a good night’s sleep with a poultice. That’s it, but just in case, you should go to the medicine hall as soon as you feel better. Or do you want me to take you?”
“No, I don’t need it.”
