Chapter 171

It is said that the moment a human being faces death, his or her life flashes by like a zoomer.
But instead of seeing his past life, Hyuk So-jin saw himself crossing the Samdo River on a red cloud.
‘……Die!
Quickly regaining his composure, Hyuk Sojin launched himself with all his might to the left.
Kwarrung!
As he rolled across the floor, the power of the Heavenly Water Sect swept through his body, causing one of the walls of the performance hall to collapse,
Oomph.
The entire pavilion in front of him began to collapse.
-These rights laws are…….
Not only Feng Yeolang, who was watching from the back, but even Heng Gongbaek was open-mouthed.
The power of Bu Eun-sul’s blow was beyond what humans could unleash, and it was as if dozens of cannons had been fired at once.
Whirling.
A gust of wind washed away the thick dust that filled the haze.
“You’ve moved.”
With his fists closed, Buunsul muttered to himself.
Hyeoksojin, who should have been standing tall in the center of the stage, has moved five cards to the left.
‘This crazy guy, he really does vacuum…….’
Hyeoksojin was about to shout,
Pusssss…….
He looked down at the powdery fabric around his shoulders and was speechless.
The scope of Bu Eun-sul’s power was so wide that even after moving five cards, she was unable to avoid it completely.
“You mean you’re not afraid of death.
Hyuk So Jin glared at Bu Eun Seol.
If he were to give the order, the masters of the Immortal Realm would immediately rush out and slaughter Bu Eun-sun.
“…….”
But Bu Eun-sul stood tall and calm, as if nothing had happened.
“You mean it.
Beads of sweat trickled down Hyuk So-jin’s forehead.
“A power of this magnitude can only be reversed when the seven heavenly powers are in order.
“I can see why you were confident in your bet.”
Hyuk Sojin coughed and shook his head in disbelief.
“Surely…… can’t take anyone in the face if they’re a one-trick pony.”
Shaking his head, he continued.
“No, if you have these powers at your disposal, you might not even have to fight…….”
But then something unexpected came out of Bu Eun-sul’s mouth.
“Don’t worry. We’re not going to use this technique anymore.”
“What do you mean?”
“A vacuum should be able to pour out freely, in any position, in any situation. But I haven’t honed this art to that level yet.”
Clapping her hands, Bu Eunseol said with a relaxed expression.
“It’s a frog in a well, if you know what I mean.”
Then Hyuk Sojin’s body twitched.
You’ve guessed what Buunsul is trying to say.
A frog in a well.
Hyuk So-jin, who spends his days looking at the world coldly.
He will not make a single advancement during the development of the Boo Eun-sul.
“What does it matter to you what my martial arts are?”
An enraged Hyuk Sojin said, his eyes flashing.
“You’ve practiced martial arts so much, you think you’re qualified to give me advice…….”
“I don’t give advice.”
In the pupils of his eyes, there was a heat that could melt iron.
“Get ready.”
“What do you mean?”
“You lost the bet, fulfill your promise.”
Sigh.
The air in the haze seemed to chill as the hilt was drawn.
“Don’t make silly bets, make real fights.”
At that moment, Hyuk Sojin’s pupils shook violently.
He realized that Bu Eun-sul was really going to swing the sword at him.
‘This…… is serious.’
Sojin Hyuk felt it instinctively.
She will fight with all her heart, and if she does, she knows she will never be safe.
Woohoo!
A low crackle echoed through the air, and the inky sword qi surged up six levels from his sword.
“You typified the entire sword god?
His eyes, which had been folded languidly the whole time, widened to tears.
“I’m not good enough for this.
The water level in the hollow of Hyuksojin is about a hundred years old.
This was due to the fact that he had been taking elixirs instead of rice since childhood, and he had the power of the New Heat Magick, which had the effect of making clouds and fortune-telling, for the entire twelve days.
‘I’ve always prided myself on not being outclassed by any of my successors.
Hyuk Sojin gritted his teeth.
‘Samsung’s new fever machine will never stop the author’s attack.
At that moment, Bu Eunsul looked down at Huo Xiaojin with a cold gaze.
“I will be deploying the vacuum with all my might from now on. Don’t blame me for not telling you in advance.”
“Are you serious, you’re going to slash me, on my home turf?”
“I’ve already spoken to the old man.”
Chubbun.
Bu Eun-sul, who pointed her heavy sword at Hyuk So-jin’s forehead, said in an eerie voice.
“You can cut yourself as many times as you want, but the old man won’t do it.”
“Bullshit. I’ll ask your grandfather myself.”
Hyeoksojin snorted and tried to move,
Flash!
With a flash, a thin line of blood was drawn on Hyuksojin’s cheek.
“I told him to get ready.”
Tuk Tuk.
Hyuk Sojin’s eyes widened at the red droplets of blood on the floor.
It was a boringly repetitive life.
I thought I could die at any time.
But when faced with death, Hyuk So-jin’s mind turned white.
“I’m going to be killed by the author’s one-sword?
I’m not afraid. I am frustrated.
If I had properly cultivated the best of the best, the Divine Heat Magick, I could have unleashed that attack in one fell swoop…….
No, you wouldn’t be this vulnerable even if you were fiercely practicing the hundreds of martial arts in your head.
The life of a lazy genius.
It was actually more like the life of a fool than the life of a genius.
“Wait!”
You can’t die like this.
Hyuk Sojin held out one hand and said urgently.
“I haven’t been practicing martial arts properly.”
“So.”
“It’s not fair.”
“Funny.”
Bu Eun-sul smiled coldly.
“If you practice your martial arts hard in the future, do you think you’ll be able to take me on?”
He continued in a low voice.
“While you’ve been wasting away here, I’ve been sleeping less and less, working my bones to the bone, and fighting to the death on the river.”
“I just want to…….”
“Because life was boring?”
A disdainful smile curled the corners of Bu Eun-sul’s mouth.
“Those who truly have no taste for life don’t gamble. They just swallow their sorrows one day at a time.”
Buunseol, who has witnessed the life and death of countless military statues.
When he sees Hyeok-So-Jin gambling, he realizes that he’s not truly sickened by life.
“You look frustrated, which is good.”
Lowering his pointed sword to the ground, Bu Eunseol said coldly.
“Two years, three years? Tell me the day you want. If you want me to postpone the fight, I’ll postpone it. But…….”
After a pause, Bu Eun-sul glared at Hyuk So-jin.
“In the meantime, I’m going to go strong and get better.”
He said with a solemn expression.
“No matter what you do, you’ll never beat me.”
Hyuk Sojin’s eyes widened in shock.
Giants.
The towering figure of Buunseol was like a mountain of prayer that dared not look up.
“I was truly a frog in a well.
Sojin Hyuk thought no one had ever written better than him.
But now, in front of you, there is an insurmountable mountain of tax writing.
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
Hyuk So-jin gathered his courage and picked up the pace again.
Kurrrrrr.
At that moment, a sharp aura poured out from Bu Eunseol’s entire body, and the shape of a huge sword could be seen behind his back.
It was the kind of momentum that comes with repeated life-and-death clots.
‘Interest is…….’
Thrill.
A real badass who lives by the blade and walks in blood.
You can never win.
Realizing this ignited a long-forgotten desire in him, rather than fear.
“You lost.”
Hyuk Sojin bowed his head.
There’s nothing left to stroke your ego with anymore. You cleanly admit defeat and respectfully put your hands together.
“For now.”
A sharp flash flashed across Hyuk So Jin’s languidly opened eyes.
“After that, I’ll come to you, and we’ll see if we can get it right.”
“You mean you’re going to learn martial arts properly.
Ironclad.
Nodding, Bu Eunseol sheathed her muksaber.
“Good. I’ll take it.”
Then Hyuk Sojin straightened up and said.
“You’d better be prepared, because if I’m practicing martial arts properly, I’ll never lose.”
Then, as if remembering something, he clenched his fists together and spoke low.
“Well, no matter how strong I become,…… I’ll only be a landlord of the Immortal Realm managing old demons.”
It was only then that Bu Eun-sul understood why Hyuk So-jin was fundamentally despairing.
‘What has always bothered me is the shackles of being the heir to the Immortal Realm.
Try as you might, even without trying……
The only position that Hyuk So Jin reaches is that of a landowner in the Immortal Realm.
No matter how much genius you have, no matter how hard you practice martial arts, nothing will change.
“But now that I have one target, you, I’ll try again.”
There was no bitterness or languor in Hyeoksojin’s eyes now.
Bu Eun-sul’s provocation has revitalized Wu Feng. I’ll have to properly train my martial arts to defeat him in the future.
“I think that’s it.
Bu Eun-sul nodded.
He turned and said to Hyuk Gongbaek.
“Looks like you’ve fulfilled the second promise as well…… How about that?”
“Mmm.”
The silent Hyuk Gongbaek walked slowly to the center of the stage.
After a moment’s hesitation, he blurted out the question that had been on his mind all along.
“By the way.”
“……?”
“Did you really mean to cut Sojin?”
-Please make a promise instead.
Before she came here, Bu Eun-sul had asked Hyeok Gong-baek for a favor.
It was, “Once you’re on the stage, don’t walk off, no matter what.
At the time, Hyuk Gong-baek didn’t think much of it and accepted the offer.
Although he was confident in Hyuk So-jin’s innocence, he thought, “What would he really do to the heir to the Immortal Realm?
But when Bu Eun-sul pointed the Muk-saber at Hyeok-so-jin, he realized it too.
That the swelling was real.
“Yes.”
“Hmph. Heh heh heh heh!”
At that moment, Hyuk Gong-baek burst out laughing.
“So you don’t have guts, you have a swollen liver, huh huh huh!”
There is a certain madness to the cultivators of the Greatest Generation that is unmistakable.
It’s the real madness, the kind that breaks the rules and conventions of the world, the kind that feels free to do anything.
He chuckled for a long moment, then nodded.
“We will officially support you from now on. I will send a personal messenger to the maharajah to convey this to her immediately.”
“Thank you.”
When Bu Eunseol gave him a puzzled look, Hyuk Gongbaek asked.
“Do you want to leave right now?”
“Yes.”
Bu Eun-sul respectfully clasped her hands together.
“Well, let’s go.”
“Good luck.”
“Thank you, then.”
Turning around, Bu Eunsun disappeared into the distance, out of sight.
Through blurry eyes, Hyuk So Jin watched the disappearing back of Bu Eun Seol.
Unmarried.
The sight of Boo-eun-sul’s hot, unmarried backstory is stirring Hyeok-so-jin’s heart.
Hyuk Gong-baek nodded and said.
“You’ve been going it alone, perfecting your martial arts, and that’s why you’re able to show such martial prowess at your age.”
Hyuk Sojin’s body flinched at the words.
Going strong.
At one point, he tried to go straight to university. But he gave up because he found it too easy to pick up the martial arts.
-Martial arts is something that can be easily mastered at a beginner’s level. You don’t have to go all out and take the hard way.
But now I realized.
That no martial art can be perfected without a life-and-death battle.
“Will you follow me?”
At that moment, Hyuk Gongbaek’s gentle voice rang in Hyuk Sojin’s ears.
“If you want to follow, you can follow.”
“What do you mean…….”
“There are always strong enemies and trials for those who pursue the martial arts.”
Hyuk Gongbaek said as he watched Bu Eunseol’s backside disappear into the distance.
“Just like that whole Nangyagak man.”
He knew.
Your grandson has been revived and wants to go on a wild ride through the swollen snow.
But your ego is holding you back.
“If you can train with someone like him, not only will you be able to complete your martial arts quickly……, but it will also be of great benefit to you.”
He took a deep breath as he listened to the powerful man’s persuasion.
“Are you sure you’re okay with me leaving?”
“Hoo hoo hoo, what could be more painful than watching your grandchildren play and eat every day, go away.”
Hyuk Gong-baek felt both proud and worried at the sudden growth of his grandson.
“Oh, and by the way, …….”
“No.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t even think about sneaking in a death squad.”
Hyuk So-jin, who had seen through the hype, said firmly.
“Because then it becomes a bumpy ride, not a bumpy ride.”
“Well, you can’t make a good sword if you don’t beat it.”
Trials make the untried grow.
After coughing, Hyuk Gongbaek hugged Hyuk Sojin tightly in his arms and said.
“Take care of yourself.”
Although he was said to be a landowner of the heavenly and immortal realm, he was just a grandfather who loved his grandchildren.
“Don’t worry.”
After hugging him tightly for a while, Hyuk made a “Huh?” sound as he remembered something.
“We need to get after him fast.”
They rode in a carriage on the way in, but didn’t rent a carriage on the way out.
Bu Eun-sul must have practiced the Divine Laws quickly to escape from the Immortal Realm.
“Hahaha, don’t worry, we’ll find him in no time.”
“How?”
“The destination is obvious.”
“You mean you know where you’re going?”
“He is the former king of Nanyagak. His endorsement is not enough to make him a worthy successor.”
Hyuk Sojin narrowed his eyes.
“I’ll head there, then.”
“Yes.”
A flash of light flashed in Hyuk Gongbaek’s eyes.
“The Unsewered Well. Even the great and powerful Women’s Sect will try to gain the power of the Mistress to succeed him.”
