#Long Live the Sword Master

“monster……?”

“No, I said it was a monster downpour. When did I say it was a monster?”

“Similar.”

“How is that similar!”

While Man-gwang was flustered, Jang-i-seo took a big step forward.

“I’m the inspector general from Cheonsan. He’s the branch manager.”

“Kekekeke… … Are you from the main mountain? Another fearless youngling has come down. Is he the one sent by the master?”

The corners of the mouth are curled up and the eyes are glaring. Even if he dies, he is still a tiger.

But I don’t necessarily hate it.

People who are only proud and have no self-esteem are usually light-hearted and full of anger.

But his eyes were fierce and heavy, as if to prove that my life had not been easy.

I’m saying that he’s not some wolf imitating a tiger.

“It doesn’t matter who sent it. It matters who came.”

Jang Yiseo sat down with a thud and laughed. At this, Manseok Geuk’s eyebrows quirked.

Look at this kid.

He buried hundreds of them in the ground here in Cheonghae, and broke thousands of teeth.

So I can tell just by looking at your eyes.

Is he just a braggart or is he just walking around on the line?

“This time, the master sent someone quite useful.”

When Manseok started receiving unexpectedly favorable reviews, Mankwang’s anxious face brightened.

“While my father was sleeping, that bastard, General Heo, betrayed me by betraying me and betraying me with Heuksabang. At that time, he saved me when I was in danger.”

“crisis?!”

“Ah, that’s… … I was drunk and then the Black Death guys suddenly attacked me… … .”

“What an idiot!”

A thunderous roar burst from Manseok’s mouth.

“Not only was I looked down on by the commander-in-chief, but I was also looked down on by some mere black bastards… … Ugh!”

Unable to control his fiery temper, Manseok grabbed his chest and bowed down.

“Hey, Congressman! Are there any Congressmen outside?”

Man-gwang hurriedly ran out, and Jang-seo looked intently at Man-se-geuk, who was panting with his chin resting on his hand.

To be precise, I read the energy flowing from his body.

‘It’s as if the airway is completely blocked. I heard that he suffered great internal injuries after falling into a state of obsession with money. This is no different from a corpse that will soon be buried.’

After a while, a doctor came in with Man-gwang, and after giving him some herbal medicine, he was finally able to breathe again.

His face became even more pale as if he had lost energy. After the doctor left, Man-kwang asked.

“Father, are you okay?”

“You loser… … .”

Manseok shook off Mankwang’s hand and glared at him fiercely.

“What do you wish for?”

But are you willing to pay the price for saving your child? You have a bad temper, but your debt to him is clear.

“What’s so great about saving someone from the same school? Don’t worry about it.”

“Heh, there’s no need to act all cocky. Even if I die a miserable death, I don’t want to owe anyone anything.”

A cheer with a self-deprecating smile. It must be because he is looking at his own situation in such a hopeless way.

“Then let me ask you something. How did it come to that?”

The eyes of Manseok and Mankwang widened at the unexpected question.

The gaze of Jang Hana was persistent, and the meaning contained in it was important.

‘Perhaps the Blood Cult was involved.’

If that is the case, a tragedy incomparable to the General Heo incident could occur.

“Do you really have to hear that?”

“I have to hear it.”

“Ugh… … .”

A deep sigh escaped Manseokgeuk. It was a story that was too embarrassing to bring up in words.

It’s something that a man can’t say with two mouths.

“I tried to go beyond the greatness of the Dokmunsimbeop and achieve the extreme, but I fell into the state of possession by the spirit of the devil. Is it okay?”

He collapsed alone in the room due to blood clots.

Manseok’s face turned red with his teeth clenched.

Jang Yi-seo nodded, his stiff face becoming blank. It was brief, but he quickly came to understand. It was a common occurrence in the world of martial arts.

The mind method was not simply a matter of understanding, but was also like a process of creating one’s own body.

For example, Mao of the Heavenly and Yang Body could never master the Ice Sword.

Therefore, the mind method cannot simply be practiced for a long time and reach an end; one’s constitution must also change.

In that sense, reaching polarity means that the mind and body become completely one.

In short, it is a challenge close to the worst.

“Do I look pathetic?”

No way. I’m just glad it wasn’t the work of the Blood Cult.

“If you want to laugh at me, laugh at me. But I have no regrets about my challenge. I just regret not being able to break the limits.”

“It is not uncommon to get hurt while practicing. Moreover, the challenge of breaking through limitations and moving forward is the basic attitude of a warrior. This is not something to be laughed at or criticized for failing. It is certainly not something to be pitied.”

“… … !”

Manseokgeuk’s eyes widened in surprise, perhaps due to an unexpected reaction.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“……no.”

I said no, but my heart definitely started to pound.

Because when he collapsed, most people’s reactions were either pity or sympathy.

It was even worse because most people had advised against it in advance, saying it wouldn’t work.

Because no one wants to acknowledge the process that is headed towards an outcome that is sure to fail.

So, it was my first time to have a reaction like Jang Seo. And it comforted me without me knowing it. No, honestly, it made me cry.

‘Who are you?’

I felt like it wasn’t going to be easy from the beginning, but now that I look at it, it seems even more profound.

It felt like I was a giant who had crossed countless ravages and reached enlightenment.

Regardless of his skills, I couldn’t help but think of him as someone of similar age and temperament to my own child.

“Did you say you were an inspector?”

“exactly.”

“I will hand over the position of branch manager to the Great Demon Zen Master.”

“father!”

Great Demon Zen Master Jiseung. He is the head of Dotapsa Temple, one of the four sects that make up Cheonghae Branch.

They are of Lamaist descent and claim to be Buddhist, but in reality they are a group of assassins.

Jang Yi-seon was taken aback by the surprise announcement.

“Can I ask why?”

“The child is still young and will be torn apart, and the executives are all light and unpleasant… … But the great master is the strongest, so it is better to do so.”

“If you don’t like it, how can you just put it down so easily?”

“If you hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have put it down. It’s obvious that the executives would fight each other for the top job.”

It was an honest feeling. That was also the reason why Manseok had silently endured until now, even though he knew that there was no way to cure himself.

Because I don’t want to see the Cheonghae collapse even after I die.

But I somehow had faith that the person in front of me would mediate well so that the conflict would not escalate further.

“Is there no way to get better?”

Let’s look closely. Man-kwang added from the side.

“I called all the doctors who are said to be brave, but they can’t find the cause and just keep repeating that it’s difficult. The condition is getting worse and worse… … .”

I get it.

Because in order for a doctor to treat a patient, he or she must first understand the patient’s mental constitution and physical characteristics, and must figure out where things are wrong.

In this case, it would be very difficult for someone who has not learned the same martial arts.

‘Manseok. He is clearly a man with a fiery temper, but he cares for Cheonghae and knows how to carry out justice. If someone like this opens his heart, he will become a strong ally.’

He is someone who strangely feels regretful. But what can one do when faced with someone dying from obsession with money?

Jang Yi-seo nodded shallowly and answered.

“I understand what the branch manager wants. However, it is my job to choose a successor. I will think about it some more and then decide.”

“Haha. I interfered for no reason. Do whatever you want. But the longer you delay, the more trouble you’ll have. They’ve probably heard about you by now.”

“Is there a problem with that?”

“They won’t want you to be the one making the next branch manager decision. So they’ll be the first to reject and exclude you. They might even try to bite you.”

“How can I do this carelessly? Since it is a matter entrusted to me by the Almighty, I will take my time looking into it and then decide.”

“What a guy who invites trouble.”

“That’s right. But if you were afraid of that and couldn’t take on the challenge, you should have picked up a brush instead of a sword. Isn’t that right, Branch Manager?”

“… … !”

Manseok was so surprised that he forgot the pain.

Because that is the very reason why he challenged the extremes of the mind method even when others tried to stop him.

And this is what Cheonma Jinwookwang said long ago.

‘If you are afraid of failure and won’t try, then just die. Or take up a paintbrush. You’ll get cut to death anyway.’

Manseok looked at Jang Yiseo, who was standing up and turning around with dazed eyes.

‘Who the hell is that guy…?’

Jang went out leisurely.

Knock knock.

And Man-kwang, who followed, scratched his head in embarrassment.

“I’m embarrassed. My father has a bit of an odd personality. But I’m sure he really likes this… … I’m sorry. I was being too harsh.”

When I shook my head at his plain voice, he continued speaking.

“Anyway, he may be a bit harsh, but he doesn’t say anything wrong. It would be better to give up the branch manager position quickly.”

“Aren’t you greedy?”

“Me? Hey. I still have a long way to go. I’m just short-tempered and always cause trouble.”

“The better you know yourself, the faster you grow.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. Hahaha!”

As I went outside, smiling at the cheerful reaction, a martial arts field was spread out.

Then, with a cheer, the disciples wearing white uniforms and training came into view.

There aren’t many of them, but they are all quite sharp.

“We may not know about anything else, but we are proud of our swordsmanship. We are not inferior to anyone else, not even in Cheonghae.”

It sounds like something everyone brags about, but the more I look into it, the more it seems to make sense.

The movements of his body were as smooth as flowing water, and the swing of his sword was as sharp as if it could cut through a mountain.

So it is difficult to predict the movement, and even if you do, the opponent will often be embarrassed by the sudden sword strike.

It was certainly an outstanding swordsmanship and worthy of praise.

“They say the Supreme Being gave teachings.”

“Yes. Well, he didn’t give us the martial arts directly, but he tailored it to fit us.”

I understand it in a general sense. It is not only the physical body that must be in line with the Dharma, but also actions.

‘With this level of sincerity and humor, the reason Manseokgeuk did not reach the peak is likely due to an innate problem with his constitution.’

Jang Yi-seo asked as he passed the training ground and headed toward the main gate.

“Is there a chronic illness at home?”

“Do you have any chronic diseases? Nope. We’ve been very healthy for generations, except for the fact that we get angry. Haha!”

“I see.”

“yes!”

He smiled and nodded as if he understood. But his feelings were different.

Since Manseokgeuk couldn’t have made a mistake, I thought there must be a problem inside his body. The cause was probably the place filled with death energy.

As soon as they reached the main gate, Man-kwang bowed and opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty, what are you going to do now?”

“I’ve met with the branch manager, so I need to meet with the rest of the executives. Tell them to gather here by noon tomorrow. I’ll come by then.”

“Oh, no, over there!”

Leaving Man-gwang behind, Jang-i headed to Cheonghae Guesthouse.

“What the heck, these aren’t the kind of people who would come nicely… … ?”

A deep sigh of worry escaped me.
