The World of Sound - Chapter 47



Only Krnovel

“sleep……!”

“for a moment.”

The order of the Yongbongjihoe was abbreviated, and the situation was such that a secret meeting between Namgung Jin and Cheonhwa was about to take place.

At that time, two women came between Cheonhwa and Namgungjin, who were about to engage in a fight.

One of them is Dokbong Dangmimi.

Although I liked Cheonhwa’s refreshing remarks, I wondered if he really had the right to say such things.

It was confirmed through the secret meeting with Namgung Jin, but she was the daughter of the Tang family.

Since she was a womanizer who could not leave what she could do to others, she wanted to test Cheonhwa herself.

What would happen if he were to release the poison as he said?

It may have been a somewhat extreme expression of interest, but this was standard for a member of the party.

“Bing Bong?”

And another one was Bingbong Bukgungyeon.

She, who rarely steps forward, once again stepped forward and blocked them.

Even though it was fine, it was faster than a poison pill.

“What’s going on?”

That’s why everyone’s eyes turned to Bukgungyeon.

Even though they were a little late, they clearly went together, but no one paid much attention to Dang Mimi.

‘Tch.’

In the end, Dang Mimi had no choice but to take a step back and pretend it wasn’t happening, and the opportunity to speak went to Bukgung Yeon.

“Me. First.”

“… … Are you saying that Bingbong will be the first to step forward?”

Although it was a short statement, it was not difficult to understand its meaning.

Bukgungyeon will be the first to step forward.

Although she has always been proactive when it comes to martial arts, this is a bit different.

Is the target really Namgung Jin, or is he thinking of Cheonhwa?

Whoever it was, it was difficult to gauge their intentions.

If he fights Cheonhwa first, it is unknown whether it is because he is curious about his martial arts skills, or to save his face, and if he fights Namgung Jin, it is unknown whether it is to receive the sword of the Namgung family, who are always compared like the name of the family, even if they are not arch enemies, or to weaken his power in advance for Cheonhwa.

“I have something to try.”

Either way, it was a bit suspicious since it was an unusual reaction, but it was also difficult to not give in when she acted like this.

Although it is difficult to call her a successor, her skills, having learned swordsmanship from the swordsman, are in no way inferior to Namgung Jin’s.

If she were to test it, she would be able to sufficiently verify the skills of the arrogant Cheonhwa, and more than anything, it would save face for Namgung Jin and Yongbongjihoe.

No one thought that Namgung Jin would lose, but it was a bit unsettling that Namgung Jin, who was considered one of the best among the members of the Yongbongjihoe and had the highest level of martial arts skills, would step forward from the start.

Even if he wins, it would be difficult to gauge his true skills unless he is completely playing around, and while he may be able to crush Cheonhwa’s pride, it could also end up inflating his reputation.

It is said that he fought bravely against Namgung Jin, who is called Changryong in the martial arts world.

“… … Okay. But who do you want to compete with?”

Namgung Jin, who had been thinking about it for a while, allowed Bukgung Yeon to intervene.

He felt good about himself if he had Bukgungyeon, who seemed to have grown up a lot, as his opponent, and he thought it wouldn’t be bad to face Cheonhwa.

“This way.”

“Anyway, this guy’s popularity!”

When asked, Bukgungyeon naturally pointed to Cheonhwa.

As soon as he was nominated, he was annoyed at the way Bukgungyeon acted as if she was interested in him, but the secret meeting was finally successful.

Bukgung Yeon, who had decided to replace Namgung Jin, stood up first, and Cheonhwa followed suit.

“First. I’ll go.”

The location where the Yongbong branch meeting was held this time was a small park owned by Namgung Se-ga, located in Hap-bi.

They used to chat in the pavilion built there, but since there was an open space next to it that was suitable for holding a military ceremony, they moved there.

Bukgungyeon, who had taken his place first, took up his sword as soon as Cheonhwa came down, as if he had no reason to delay.

Even if the martial arts of Bingbong, which he had received from Geomhu, were of the highest rank within the Yongbongjihoe, those who had also received the nickname of Yong or Bong would have been at a level where they would have yielded the second attack, but it was natural that he chose to attack first.

Because I have already experienced the inaction of the Heavenly Flower.

Although others do not know it, he knows that he is no match for the mighty Heavenly Flower, so he has thrown away his pride and self-esteem.

As her chilling aura swirled around her body, a cold air spread around her.

A cold air so bitter that it made frost settle on the ground where she stood took hold of the surroundings.

“As you wish.”

However, Cheonhwa still looked relaxed.

He just stares at her, holding his luggage behind his back without even pulling out anything that could be considered a weapon.

“A fight for the best.”

If it were anyone else, they would have been angry and thought that he was being ignored like Wi Ji-cheon, but Bukgung Yeon followed the law without saying a word.

As it was a martial art, it chanted the name of a herbivore and rushed at Cheonhwa with an incredible cold aura.

“Huh! The cold air is thicker than last time!”

“This is truly a fierce swordsmanship. The author will be stabbed without even knowing it.”

“That’s all black? Wow, how on earth do I stop that… … .”

The sight of the admirers pouring out their words one by one was truly a sight worthy of the Yongbong branch.

You need to think about it to that extent and look into the other person’s eyes to see progress.

‘I’m losing energy.’

However, Cheonhwa’s evaluation was harsh.

It may be a characteristic of herbivory, but it is difficult to properly apply power to the sword when the energy is constantly flowing around like that.

Of course, due to the nature of Han-gi, it can trap the opponent, but it is meaningless to experts like Cheon-hwa.

For masters who can freely control muscle contraction, restricting their actions with cold air is practically nonexistent.

“Sorry, I don’t have time.”

So, even after facing that fierce attack, I don’t feel much excitement.

I could have played with her like before and given her a chance, but I was busy today.

Before coming here, I heard the news that Namgung Se-ga had returned to Sega.

“Oh, since it’s rain, do I have to tell you the name of the herb?”

So, I took a slight step back and pulled out the Ice Spirit Medicine.

I took a deep breath.

“Bingyungraechun.”

“!!”

Saaaaat-

In an instant, the cold air melted away.

As if hearing the sound of spring coming, the energy Namgung Yeon gave off melted and dispersed.

“A cold wind.”

But Bukgungyeon did not stop his offensive.

I followed the law once again and caught up with Cheonhwa.

The energy that was expelled from the body had all dispersed, but the energy that remained inside the body was still under his control.

As soon as he confirmed it, Bukgungyeon changed his diet.

In one breath, he pulled out the second half of the Seolsan Sword Technique and gathered the ice energy at the tip of the sword.

As the scattered energy concentrated at one point, a sharp, cold wind arose on its own.

As if riding the wind, Bukgungyeon displayed his fearsome sword skills and stabbed Cheonhwa.

“Oh, it’s better than last time?”

Cheonhwa also looked slightly surprised at the sight.

Certainly, her martial arts skills have improved.

She seems to have quite a talent for it, although she did help, and what she got out of it was up to her.

He started playing again, surprised by the sharper and more destructive stabs than before.

“Should we try something different here too? Enduring the cold wind.”

It’s a herb that she’s used before and was blocked by her.

But this time it was different in both power and speed.

As if to prove that he had been lenient last time, a powerful wave of sound energy poured out and covered her.

“!!”

But she was also the owner of the Ice Spirit Body.

He quickly spread his sword as he sensed the cold air in the sound waves and began to fight against the energy swirling around like a storm.

Wow!!

Kwakwakwakwang!!!

It’s being pushed. It’s being pushed out.

She had been eating elixirs like rice since she was little, so she was proud that her internal energy was comparable to that of anyone in the Yongbongjihoe, but she was falling behind miserably.

It’s the same even if you gather all the air power that you spread out to protect your body.

“Amhyangsoyeong!”

The moment he realized that, Bukgungyeon made a bet.

If you are no match for someone in a power struggle, then you have chosen not to collide.

It was a choice I made because I had already experienced it twice and it was a feeling I could sense.

Even though some parts of his body could sense it if he moved, he boldly pushed his body in and began to approach, avoiding all of the attacks of the Heavenly Flower mixed with the sound waves.

‘Have you grown up in the meantime? You definitely have talent.’

It was a different sight from before, when he was swept up in Youngmin’s offensive and swung his sword as if dancing alone.

‘But I don’t have time today.’

Cheonhwa noticed that it was definitely due to the talent of Muui and made an expression of interest, but unfortunately he had no intention of playing for long this time.

At that moment, Cheonhwa’s fingers began to move dazzlingly.

If you look at it from a vegetarian perspective, it was like a change of plants.

By breathing the same breath but adding variation, the nature of the herbivore completely changed.

The waves that spread out to the rhythm of the music also became completely different and danced, and it was natural that Bukgungyeon’s eyes, who thought he had figured out Cheonhwa’s first step, shook greatly.

“… … .”

Sasa-sak-!

Bukgungyeon’s body, which seemed like it would rush towards Cheonhwa in an instant, stood still.

Her uniform was fluttering in the wind here and there.

It was tightly closed for the rain, but the hem was cut.

“I lost.”

Bukgungyeon, who had been standing still, suddenly admitted defeat.

Although her body was still unscathed, with only the hem of her clothes cut off, she put away her sword and turned around.

The reason is simple.

Because the parts of the hem that were cut off were all blood vessels.

If I had cut just an inch deeper, I might have become a wreck.

“Well, you fought well, Lady Bukgung!”

“Isn’t this basically a draw?”

“Evil Dragon… … It may be because of his strange methods, but he was a man of few tricks.”

It wasn’t as simple as comforting the other bewildered dragons and phoenixes.

Even more than anyone else, he knows that he was not hurt because he avoided it or the other person did not respond, but rather because they overlooked it.

That’s why Bukgungyeon didn’t make any excuses.

However, he had a look in his eyes that was strangely confident.

‘As expected. My prediction was right.’

I lost, but I feel relieved.

Both body and mind.

Strangely enough, the pain that only went away when I unsheathed the sword still went away even when I stopped using it.

Just like last time, it may come back again in a fit of fits after a while, but I was able to confirm that just being with Cheonhwa relieved the pain for a while.

“… … The first match is the victory of Cheonhwa Sohyeop.”

Of course, unlike her, the other dragons were confused.

The match was decided so quickly, without even a few moves, and the techniques that Cheonhwa used were so disconcerting that even they themselves could not properly detect them.

Could they have stopped it?

Even that iceberg couldn’t be completely blocked?

There were some who were confident, but there were more who were not.

Bukgungyeon was considered one of the most skilled warriors among them.

“Cheonhwa Sohyeop. It seems like you still have some energy, so how about hanging out with me for a while? If you want, I can wait for you to have a quick breakfast.”

However, there were certainly those who were confident.

It is unknown whether Bukgungyeon thought of their relationship with him or whether he thought he could do it, but there are those who show a competitive spirit.

One of them was Namgung Jin.

Originally, it was common to give them a chance to rest after a fight, but he was the first to suggest that he would give them time to rest if they wanted.

“We haven’t done much, but let’s have breakfast together. Let’s do it right away.”

Of course, it was not a heavenly flower that could be refused.

Although I did consume some of my internal energy while using the Cheon-eum Shingong, it wasn’t that great and I wasn’t going to use all my power against that guy, so I declared that I would immediately engage in a non-combat battle.

“… … Don’t talk nonsense later.”

Namgung Jin ground his teeth again, perhaps because his pride was hurt, but he did not hesitate.

Because this was an opportunity.

He had some confidence in himself, and if he won, it would be a chance to prove that he was superior to Bukgungyeon.

There were subtle feelings between Namgung Se-ga and Bukgung Se-ga, but Bukgung Yeon had been taught directly by Geom-hu.

Although it was not perfect, he gripped the sword tightly because it was to let everyone know that Namgung’s sword had surpassed Geomhu’s sword.

“Wait, but wouldn’t it be no fun if we just did that?”

“… … ?”

So, this time, Cheonhwa and Namgung Jin faced each other.

Cheonhwa made a suggestion to Namgung Jin, who was secretly raising his stamina and preparing to come out at any time, as if his body was warm.

“Because of what happened earlier, let’s do this. We’ll do it like a Non-Geom-Bimoo. I’ll tell you where to attack along with the name of the herb.”

“… … Okay. I guess you don’t know much about Namgung’s sword.”

It’s like a swordsman’s swordsmanship, telling you what kind of attack to use and where to aim it.

This could easily be seen as disrespecting Namgung Jin, but he interpreted it differently.

Rather, it was accepted that Cheonhwa was lacking in confidence.

He thought that since he didn’t know how Namgung’s sword worked, he was trying to find a way to deal with it through words.

“Oh, that doesn’t matter. It’ll be meaningless anyway.”

Namgung Jin ground his teeth at those words once again, but his thoughts were good after all.

Cheonhwa shrugged his shoulders towards Namgung Jin, who was only thinking about defeating him, and then quietly held the Bingryongokyak again.

However, this is a different method of phaging than before.

Because I didn’t intend to use my yin yang on him.

“Then I will go first.”

And so, the fight began.

The first move was Namgung Jin’s.

Ta-da-!

Stepping on it is the Heavenly Wind Divine Technique.

A fierce blast of wind burst from his toes, lifting his body up.

He closed the distance in an instant and stabbed with his sword.

This is to avoid giving distance to Cheonhwa, who takes Yin Gong as his main character.

He still regarded the power of the yin yang as something close to sorcery, but now that he had confirmed its power, he was determined not to treat it lightly.

“Muryuilgeom!”

What followed was a sharp stab.

An extremely explosive stab unfolded from his hand, in which he simultaneously shot his body and held his armpit, exploding all the energy he had gathered in an instant.

It was a move from the Changgungmuae sword technique that represented the Namgung Se-ga.

“Twist half a step to dodge, then just stab.”

At the same time, the technique of the Heavenly Flower that was unfolding was nothing more than a body movement that could not even be called a supernatural technique.

Because I was just watching his every move and dodging by predicting the direction at the moment when his muscles were about to twitch and exert strength.

“!?”

However, the results were surprising.

He easily dodged the sword strike of the Muryuilgeom, which was fast and explosive and struck a single point with precision, and thrust the tip of the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine into his chest as if he was holding it.

“Switchback!”

But it was also a decisive move.

Namgung Jin, who felt threatened by the thrust that came as if destroying the Muryuilgeom, hurriedly rolled his feet and bounced his body, twisting and spinning in the air.

“The wind is never flowing!”

He kicked the ground again as if he was performing a trick, straightened his body, and swung his sword.

The dazzling swordplay of swinging in curves dazzles the eyes.

If I hadn’t responded, my whole body would have been torn to pieces.

However, the fact that the tip of the sword did not waver was a move that clearly showed the martial arts of Namgung Jin, who was at the edge of his peak.

“Yongsocheon-gun.”

“… … ?”

“Watch your back, okay?”

WHEEK!

However, Cheonhwa’s response was bold.

It would have been difficult to even tell where the sword was, but he swung the Ice Spirit Jade Potion horizontally without fear of being cut.

Even though it is a flute and not a sword, it is short.

At that precise moment, if I hadn’t thrust my arm in along with my body, I would have been cut off before I could even reach it, but I swung my arm without hesitation.

“Ugh!?”

The pride of the Namgung family, the beginner’s level of Changgungmuae Geombeop, has collapsed once again, in a part of the Samjae Geombeop that even a third-rate martial artist can master.

A momentary gap opened between sword strikes, allowing the infiltration of Cheonhwa.

Boom!!

There wasn’t even time to retrieve the sword and block it.

Namgung Jin desperately tried to counteract the shock by swirling his internal energy inside his body, but he was unable to avoid being hit in the back and rolling on the floor.

“Ugh. What kind of sorcery… …!”

I couldn’t admit it.

How can the Cheonpung Sword Technique that the family members practice, or the Seomjeon Sipsaem Sword Technique that the side faction practiced, be destroyed by something like the Samjae Sword Technique?

No, you mean you were hit by a simple swing that couldn’t even be called swordsmanship?

In fact, the game was decided with that one move, but he refused to admit defeat.

It should never have been that way.

Because of this, Cheonhwa’s actions were considered witchcraft and he attacked again.

My side where I had been hit was sore, but I had to win even if it meant breaking my body.

“The Three Swords of Infinite Power!”

This time it’s a series of stabs.

Although I had dodged it once with my excellent eyesight, I thought that I would not be able to avoid this one, so I filled up my entire body with my internal energy.

“Avoid roughly and avoid Mt. Taesan.”

However, this time again, what Cheonhwa used was the Samjae Sword Technique.

It was a slash that could not be called a downward strike. No, it was a movement closer to a downward strike, and it darkened Namgung Jin’s eyes.

“head.”

“100 million……!”

Bam!!

The thrilling stab that was thought to carve a hole in Cheonhwa’s heart only pierced his illusions and had no effect.

Namgung Jin, who had attempted to attack without even knowing how he had been hit, felt a shock that made his bones tremble and his legs gave out.

He staggered back, but Cheonhwa wouldn’t leave him alone to recover.

“Taesan pressure. Head.”

“Wow, Ungeomgeonchui… …!”

While his mind was in disarray, Namgung Jin desperately tried to defend himself, but it was no use.

The Ungeom Geonchui is a technique to limit and deflect the opponent’s attacks, but Cheonhwa’s attack broke through it.

Baaaak!!!

I hit my head again, making my mind dizzy.

‘I told you it had to be like this.’

In fact, there was no need for the fight to last that long.

It wasn’t because Namgung Jin’s head was harder than Marjin’s that he couldn’t hold out.

Although Cheonhwa was capable of subduing Namgung Jin in just one sleep, the reason he treated him like a joke was because he had learned something from Margin.

‘You have to be destroyed to admit it.’

If you do that, these proud people won’t admit it.

It didn’t really matter whether I admitted it or not, but I thought it would be a hassle later, so I might as well do it right the first time.

“Taesan pressure. Consecutive attacks.”

He showed the Bingryeongokyak to Namgung Jin, who was still unconscious due to the pain in his neck.

“Head, head, head!!”

“Uh, uh, uh… … !”

Namgung Jin was now beaten without even being able to properly take a defensive stance.

Even though I opened my eyes with a bang, my vision was dark and all thoughts flew out of my head, so I couldn’t even forget about falling and just stood there in a daze, taking the beating.

“Lastly… … Nanta. Whole body!”

Pbubububububububu!!!!

The thought that everyone should get involved in such a one-sided spectacle occurred to them, but no one dared to interfere.

It wasn’t because it was a sacred ritual, but because he was afraid that if he got involved, he would end up like that.

In that way, Changryong, who was evaluated as the one who would continue the success of the Namgung family, fell to the ground and wriggled like a dragon.

It was a tragic ending that no one gathered here except Bukgungyeon could have predicted.

“Oh. Was that too much? Can’t I help it? I have no choice but to take you home!”

While no one was able to step forward or open their mouths in the face of such a miserable sight, the person responsible for the incident opened his mouth cheerfully as if he felt sorry for the person.

He smiled brightly at Namgung Jin, who rolled his eyes and twitched his body intermittently, and muttered something absurd.

You made Namgung Se-ga’s cow like that and now you’re going to take him home yourself?

Even though it was a legitimate fight, and since all the other families had been pushed back to the bottom of the mountain for the Yongbong branch, it was a big problem.

Even though Namgung Se-ga was a fair and just family, it didn’t seem like they would be able to stand seeing Soga-ju in that state.

“It seems like the event is almost over, but can I go first? I think I need to take this weak friend here quickly!”

“… … .”

However, no one could stop Cheonhwa’s actions.

Although it could have caused harm to themselves if they were unable to stop it in the future, they thought it would be better to be scolded by the adults in their family and clan.

“Then excuse me first!”

As if he had expected such a reaction, Cheonhwa hung Namgung Jin on one shoulder without waiting for an answer.

He raised his body as if he was going to storm into Namgung Se-ga’s manor in one breath.

“… … ?”

At that moment, someone blocked Cheonhwa’s path.

To be exact, the flying sword energy flew towards Cheonhwa as if it was going to cut him down.

BANG!!!

If it weren’t for Cheonhwa, if I hadn’t raised my power and kicked it with my foot, it would have been torn in two and fallen down.

“What are these?”

Cheonhwa’s eyebrows furrowed as she did a somersault and landed back on the ground.

He looked at the dozen or so black-masked men blocking him.
