Chapter 103

“You mean the rush.”
“There are not many things I can tell you.”
It was Chen Qi and Zhuge Liang who said this. I glanced at Qi Shengzhi, a master of the K’un-Lun, and then at Guang Shuang, another master of the Wu Nai Fifty.
As he had said, there was not much that Zhuge Liang could impart to me. Especially one who wields a sword.
“Listen,” he said, ”as someone who has lived a little longer, I’d like to discuss the concept of sudden death.”
“Rush, rush, rush.
“I can feel the uneasiness in your eyes.”
Hmmm.
I wonder if he’s reading the heavens for nothing.
“You’re dealing with a spirit, not a human, so if you think you’re dealing with a flesh-and-blood human, you’ll lose a hundred to one.”
I nodded in agreement.
“You do realize that there are parts of every living thing that cannot be trained, no matter how hard you try.”
“Yes.”
Aldamada, of course.
She’s been holding a sword for decades. It had been decades since he’d taken on someone with the intent to kill.
A rush was, quite literally, a fatal flaw, a weakness.
“Recite it.”
“The forehead, eyes, temples, brow, back of the head, nasal cavity, armpits, muzzle, groin, and anus.”
“Being human, being made of frail flesh, we are born with so many vital organs. If you think the same way and lunge at a man with the strength of an iron man, you won’t make a dent in the scales.”
“…….”
Whoo!
In the blink of an eye, the butcher’s blade unfurled with a crunch, and I jerked back as it blinded me. No matter how inferior my martial arts were, I didn’t dare to evaluate.
“He’s already dead, what were you thinking?”
The temples touched together.
“Do you really think you couldn’t block this because you couldn’t read my attack?”
I swallowed hard at his words. I swallowed hard.
“Close your eyes.”
“You mean your eyes.”
“Yes.”
I closed my eyes obediently.
“Open your mind.”
I opened my senses wide. All my other senses were amplified by my closed eyes. My senses were already heightened, but now they were tingling even more.
At that moment,
Pow!
My body moved involuntarily.
“Open your eyes.”
I slowly opened my eyes at the words, and saw that the butcher’s knuckles were stretched out.
“What’s different.”
What was different.
In a moment of instinctive panic, I moved my body.
“Look behind you.”
Why was I told to look back?
But the moment I turned around, my mouth dropped open.
Feathers, tattered feathers, stretched out like beams of light from the tattered feathers, piercing the trees and the ground behind me.
“That’s what senses are for. I aimed for the exact spots you mentioned, eyes, temples, brow, back of the head, nape, armpits, muzzle, groin, and anus.”
The numbers on the collar were spot on.
“…….”
“Understood, remember. All creatures are instinctively protective of their vital organs. Especially non-human beasts, and even the most insignificant of creatures.”
* * *
Chaaaaaah!
The creature instinctively closed its maw and turned its head, a swift, swift movement unbefitting of its enormous size.
I aimed for its eyes this time. Even to blind both of them.
But my instinctive move only resulted in the loss of one of its eyes.
My disappointment was short-lived,
Kae-e-e-e-e-e-e-e!
The red eyes of the creature glared with murderous intent at my sliced blade.
I instinctively rolled to the side as soon as I felt its scales twitching and steam wafting from its mouth.
The reason for the suddenness of the move was that it had extended its wings.
Kwaaang!
It dug into the ground right where I was.
The tail flesh of the scales of the Kondusun smashed into the ground with a single blow. I looked at the dirt and was glad I had trusted my instincts and moved.
A lazy donkey rolling on the ground, the height of contempt with such a shape.
The pinnacle of disgrace, the moment when I barely prolonged my life despite stretching myself to the limit.
It was a lesson left to me by Jigaljuhu.
“He once told me that it’s better to roll in dog shit than to die.”
It was a very realistic advice. It was like seeing the heavens.
Crouching.
The corners of his mouth turned up, as if he was mocking me.
Come on, let’s see who dies today.
The tip of the sword flared.
The tip of the sword was filled with the aura of the spear and the spirit of martial love.
From the hilt to the blade, thunder and wind surged.
Feeling the four auras blend together, I unleashed my Enlightenment Purification.
* * *
“Qingyun Red River Sword, that’s not a senior’s purification. Master it, I’m not so insignificant. The Infinite Water Buddha.”
“You’re freezing to death, you imitate the Taoist.”
As he spoke, his aura of blue clouds and the aura of red clouds unfolded simultaneously.
“Stop arguing and look at this. I, too, feel sick to my stomach and my heart aches to teach you this. You bastard.”
“But why…….”
“Why, you bastard, so I can tell you everything and retire, so I can live in peace!”
He laughed.
“Don’t say that, even if you’re joking. You must work for Kang Ho until you die.”
He shuddered at the sight of me so openly.
“You’re not a thunderbolt swordsman, you’re a thunderbolt madman.”
“Only you.”
“Never mind, watch.”
Two auras, neither of which could be pinned down, blossomed from the sword of the madman. The two auras, both skillfully unleashed, signaled a more complete unfolding.
He let out a short exclamation,
“The Southern Palace discusses six things.”
“How did you know that?”
“I know a fake when I see one.”
“After all, you recognize the Southern Palace and…….”
“What kind of insane family would deal with the six energies and make rules? They’re the ones who think they’re kings and can skillfully extract the six energies. They are mad.”
I feel my ancestors and my ancestors being insulted at once.
“If you envy them, envy them. It’s strange that you don’t envy me, since I’m going through all the hardships of struggling to raise the Qingshengs while suffering alone.”
Kwangseung clamped his mouth shut, then sighed heavily.
“You seem to be a better talker than a martial artist.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment.”
“Concentrate.”
“Yes.”
I stared at the Qingyun Red River Sword. What a strange and mysterious aura.
Qingyun and Red River.
Red and blue.
Neither aura is dominant.
Conflicting and clashing with each other.
The moment you come face to face with such a sword, you intuit that it is indescribably powerful. I’ve already sampled it, and I’ve seen the power of the Blue Yun Red River Sword against Shima.
If there is a sword that can match it.
I assure you, there is only one sword I have seen.
“The Emperor’s Sword.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You say it resembles it.”
“Huh.”
The Berserker shook his head, then looked at me and nodded.
“The circumstances are similar. Except that I chose immersion, and the Emperor’s Sword of the Southern Palace chose concentration.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Immersion is the becoming of two corresponding energies, itself.”
“What is concentration?”
A much-needed realization that brings me one step closer to the six energies.
“It is the direct connection of six stories into one.”
It was the concentration of the Emperor’s Sword. The story of the six is the sword that connects and weaves them together.
The heavens.
Thunder.
Spear.
Wu Ai.
Heavenly Wind.
And the great drama.
“One is no different from the other, so unfold it first.”
The moment I said that, I quickly unfurled my spear and martial arts sword. This was also the unfolding of my energy for spear and martial arts.
One.
Before I knew it, the back of my head was shaken violently. I didn’t have time to dodge or do anything.
“Think about it, you’re so foolish to say that you’re extraordinary, extraordinary, extraordinary.”
As I said that, the great master unleashed the aura of blue and red.
It was very similar to my own spear sword, which meant that the spear sword and the original Qingyun Red River Sword were not the same.
“So the story of Qingyun is not backed up by Red River. It’s about Qingyun and Red River immersing themselves in each other. The Spearbow Miao Ai Sword ends with Miao Ai’s role as a support for the spear’s energy.”
I couldn’t help myself,
I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
For his words were the same as those taught to me by my mentor, Nangong Yue.
I hadn’t even learned to use the sword, but I knew what she meant by simply reading her aura.
“Unfold it again.”
Serious about the sword.
No, when it came to martial arts, he was one of the greats, perhaps even the greatest.
Without a trace of a smile, he spoke to me.
“Link the spear and the martial arts together.”
I sheathed my sword and held it.
And just like that, the spear and the martial arts became one.
* * *
The power of the blue waves surged.
Each and every drop of energy that remained in my body was swept away. The power of the waves was so powerful.
Between the waves, the sound of the waves pierced through the flesh of the Muklin Blood Net, which was instantly shattered. It was a moment of perfect unity between the spear and the martial arts.
Ke-e-e-e-e-e-e!
Seeing him scream in pain, I had no intention of stopping.
At the same time, I unleashed the Heavenly Wind Divine Technique and extended the Thunder Emperor Divine Sword. The energy of the Heavenly Wind spread out to the tips of my toes, and the Thunder King Divine Sword’s thunderbolt burst forth without end.
The Heavenly Wind and the Thunderbolt became one.
Digging in!
The thunderbolts piercing through his bleeding flesh seemed to stun him.
Keh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh!
The screams intensified. At the same time, it struggled in all directions, unable to bear the weight of the beast.
Danzhen didn’t have much energy left in him, but he sensed the danger in the creature’s struggles and began to search for hidden energy.
Not wanting to miss an opening, he lunged at me with his sharp horns.
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!
And in that moment,
The aura of the Great Duke, hidden in the veins of his entire body, burst forth and consumed all of the bamboo ginseng aura that had remained in the Danzhen.
The Great Yan Duke was the foundation of the Southern Palace.
Then, he encounters the icy cold extreme Yin Gong and begins to leap to the next level.
It’s the blue and green of the Southern Palace.
A feast for the heavenly Changcheon.
The aura of the Changcheon Great Yan Xin Gong has begun to build.
