Chapter 41

“Yes, yes, that’s my good little brother.”
“Little brother, what do you mean!”
Yue Yue shouted, and Yan Hua smiled meaningfully.
“Hmph, why are you shouting, instead of talking calmly as usual?”
“That’s because…….”
“You can’t say anything, can you? And by the way, I’ve been lying to you all this time, I’m actually a year older than you, didn’t you know?”
“Bullshit.”
“Well, believe it or not, you’re free to leave. I’m leaving.”
“Ah…….”
“Huh? Why?”
“Thanks…….”
My words made Yanhua pout and laugh.
“When have you ever not thanked me? I know it without you saying it. Goodbye.”
Yan Hua smiled brightly and left the Qu Yun Temple.
Master Mu Zhen, Brother Zhang Il, and Brother Yu Hyuk left.
They left to settle the dispute between the Small Sword Sect and the Iron Sword Sect.
In addition, all the Plum Blossom Swordsmen in the vicinity were also sent in.
The ostensible reason for this is their friendship with the Small Sword Sect, but the real reason is to settle a debt.
The Volcano Sect has been in decline for three hundred years. It’s said to be on the rise again now, but there’s a sense of disrespect from others because of the past.
They’re sending their elite to break it.
“But why is it so ominous? They’re elite, and some of them are stronger than me.”
Master Mujin’s premonition when he went to the Sword Sect.
And when Zhang Il and Yuhyeok went as reinforcements.
Even the Plum Blossom Swordsmen aren’t calmed down by the news that they’re going to the Sword Sect.
Why? Uneasy.
The Small Sword Sect is one of the five major sects in Shanxi Province.
Although the Iron Sword Sect has been making a lot of noise lately, it’s unlikely that it will be able to defeat the traditional Sword Sect.
Nevertheless…… is ominous.
“It’s too ominous…….”
With an ominous premonition, Yan Hua glanced in the direction she had left.
The sun was setting, and the sky was turning scarlet.
Before she knew it, the sun had set, and the sky was plunged into darkness.
“Whoa!”
Du Shijin.
He closed his eyes, which had been staring in one direction, and shook his head.
“It’ll be fine, as Yan Hua said, Master Mu Jin, Master Yu Hyuk, and Master Zhang Il are all strong people, so it’s not my place to worry.”
He shook off his worries and turned away.
“I have my own things to do. What’s done is done, let’s not think about it anymore.”
Yes, I have my work to do.
Plum Blade Transformed.
To see the end of the Plum Blossom Sword in perfect control.
I stood in the center of the moonlit stage and steadied my breathing.
“Ssshhhhhhhhhh.”
He relaxed as much as he needed to, calming his mind.
I see the flow of chi, and everything slows down.
A flash!
He opened his eyes and swung the heavy steel sword at his left waistband.
Qiuwu~!
A powerful sword that ripped through the air.
The first plum blossom opens.
A greatsword with a faint purple glow.
Kukkukk!
It cuts down a large plum tree and moves on to the next herb.
The first plum blossom pumice stone.
Paaaaah!
The plum blade slices through the rocks like a rock chipper.
A large hole is cut in the trunk of the fallen tree.
Three second plum blade.
Kua ah!
The heavens and earth turn over.
The ground cracked, and the air shook.
The mighty Sun Sword.
Plum Blossom Berserker, now even more powerful than before, burst through the hollow tree.
“Next.
With momentum, he unleashed four seconds of Plum Blossom Blood.
The energy boiled up and flowed through the sword.
Sword Qi.
With a faint purple sword qi, I stabbed another tree.
Five seconds plum.
A step to the right.
The sword moves smoothly.
The sword movements were much different than before.
It moved colorfully like the petals of a plum blossom flying in the wind.
A curtain of petals defending the front.
Six seconds, plum blossom fall.
Teng!
It kicked off the ground and soared into the sky.
He flipped his body once and moved his sword.
Parallax!
The tip of the long gun fluttered in the wind.
Pakakakakang!
Plum blossom leaves covering the sky.
Everywhere, everywhere, no gaps.
He spun around once and landed on the ground.
“Next time, even stronger!
Seven seconds later, the plum blossoms ended.
The sword shone even brighter than before.
He sliced sideways.
A flash!
With a single flash, time stopped.
A single plum tree, burned as if struck by lightning with a single swing.
Eight seconds of plum blossoms.
A sword that splits.
A sword that changes countless times.
It is different from the traditional sword path that emphasizes change.
It is a sword of strange movements.
Its movements are not easily understood by anyone.
Nine Seconds Plum Blossoms.
A plum blossoms in the midst of silence.
A straightforward sword.
But it contained a powerful, unstoppable aura.
It is impenetrable.
It stabbed with such force that it seemed to destroy everything.
Ten Second Plum Tide.
Plum blossoms blooming in dense clusters.
It presses in like a forest.
Eleven seconds Plum Blossom Heaven.
A plum blossom ascending to the sky.
Beautiful plum blossoms soared into the sky.
“Next, the wind.
The twelve-second plum blossom.
A fierce plum blossom like a gale.
The plum blossoms hung in the sky, fluttering with intense vitality.
Thirteen Seconds Plum Blossom Incense.
A plum blossom that emits an intense fragrance.
It’s an intoxicating scent.
Sword Incense.
A plum blossom shaped like a sword.
I have reached the point of sword incense where I can emit fragrance from that shape.
Fourteen Seconds of Plum Blossom.
The shadow of a dizzying plum blossom.
The shadows fluttered in all directions with powerful sword power.
Fifteen seconds Plum Blossom Frankincense.
Little by little, the plum blossoms bloomed, releasing their fragrance.
Unlike plum blossom incense, it is a scent that relaxes the mind and refreshes the head.
The fragrance spreads to the heavens, and the flowers are ready to bloom.
Sixteen seconds plum blossoms in full bloom.
Plum frankincense at its peak.
When the fragrance of plum blossoms is full, the plum blossoms bloom in full bloom.
Standing in the middle of a plum tree forest.
The plum petals flutter in the wind and fill the sky.
That’s the plum blossom that fills the surroundings.
If there is something else, is it that it is not red plum blossoms but purple plum blossoms?
“Whoa…… whoa…….”
My breath is ragged, my body in pain.
I caught my breath and moved my Qi.
The plum blade had changed.
This is what happens when you lose control.
It is a herbivore that destroys the body when it is consumed.
It’s like a new weapon that masks its master.
It devours those who are not capable.
When did it become like this?
“Huh…… Yeah, since then.”
Three years ago, on the day of the attack by the masked men who unleashed their plum blades.
Ever since that day.
I thought I had it under control, but I guess not.
The plum blade has changed once again.
Unfold it and you’ll lose your mind.
You don’t control the herbivores, the herbivores control you.
If you lose your grip, it’s over.
I’ve lost my mind once, and that was when…….
“Whoa, that was unspeakable.”
Everything around me was devastated.
Literally nothing was standing.
It’s a good thing Sifu was far away at the time, or he would have been hurt too.
The plum blade was out of control again.
This time it’s different from the last time.
It’s eating his mind, eating his body.
The Qin Qi continues to wriggle.
It’s reacting to the Plum Blossom Sword, and it keeps moving.
And it’s very painful.
Thud!
“Ugh…….”
The clot that was spat out was quite large.
The blood was black and dead.
But the good thing is that spitting out blood like this makes me feel like I can move faster than before I spit it out?
My body is changing.
There’s something called metamorphosis.
It’s a legendary thing that transforms the body into a body that is very suitable for learning martial arts.
That’s what’s happening to me.
It happens slowly, but it’s still something.
That’s why I train the plum blossom sword all the time, to control it, to change my body.
‘It’s dangerous, but I can’t help it.
Ma Jintian and the man named Huang Xin from the joint training three years ago.
I don’t want to lose to them again.
Especially Huang Xin, who I lost to with a single attack, even though I was caught off guard.
I can’t forget that kind of humiliation.
I want to be stronger, and I want to win.
“Huh.
He controlled his writhing body and stood up.
I don’t feel the pain anymore. And my body feels lighter.
I quickly rotated my arm, and it was more comfortable than before.
“This is why I walk a fine line every day.”
It’s my discipline, but it takes a toll on those around me.
It keeps me on the edge of my seat, trying not to let that happen.
“The good news is that I don’t have a sensei right now.”
I feel comfortable deploying the Plum Blossom Sword Path, knowing that it’s okay to lose my mind.
“One day, I’ll be able to control it, and this spitting of blood will be over.”
I think that when I can control the Plum Blossom Sword, it will be time to stop spitting out this clot.
That’s what it feels like.
When my body is completely transformed, when I am worthy.
I feel like the Plum Blade will recognize me.
“Herbivores recognize people…… is ridiculous.”
Anyone would laugh at that.
A man-made superfood masks a man.
It’s even more ridiculous when the person who is obscured is the one who changed it.
This is also one of the reasons why I try to control the Plum Blade every day.
I changed it, to use it when I want.
In life, you can’t help but care about what others think of you.
There’s also a reason why I don’t want to be laughed at by others.
“Whoa, that’s it for today’s training.”
A cold wind blew through my sweaty body.
The white steam of winter.
Pow! Pow!
I walked inside the house, enjoying the sound of the snow.
Crunch!
Nothing has changed inside the house.
Of course, it has, but that’s just the sound of the hinges when I open the door.
The house hasn’t changed since I was a kid.
Every time I walk in, it’s familiar and comfortable.
I lie down on the bed and relax.
“Hah…….”
As I relaxed, sleep poured in.
I lowered my heavy eyelids and slept.
