The World of Sound - Chapter 7
Only Krnovel
A sword filled with fierce power fell towards the Black Tiger’s chest.
It was a strike that was difficult to block even against the normal Black Tiger Sword Master, who had accumulated the internal energy of Baek Woong Bang Ju, the pinnacle of martial arts, throughout his life.
“I’m so angry… … !”
The face of the Black Tiger Guardian, who was slowly looking up at it, turned pale.
A flash of light passed through the eyes of the Black Tiger Guardian, who realized that he could not stop it with his already convulsed body.
It was impossible to escape death without immediately attaining supreme enlightenment.
“It’s over!!”
Oh my gosh!!!
However, the Baekungbangju’s path could not fall towards him.
Rather than being able to extend the sword, the hand holding it became bloody and crushed, and its strength gave out.
When the power in his sword reached its peak, a light wave flew in from somewhere and struck his sword, blowing it away.
“Kuaaaah!!!”
That’s not all.
The path he missed was shattered into pieces without being able to resolve the energy of the waves he had encountered.
It couldn’t have been more surprising.
It’s easier to just break it than to shatter an opponent’s weapon like this, because it’s impossible unless there’s a significant difference in skill.
Even if it was just the Aegichunggeom that gave strength to a regular weapon, it would have been very difficult. What was included in Baekungbangju’s Tao was a sword, no, a sword, so it could be said to be a skill close to impossible.
It wasn’t something that could be done just because one was strong, but Cheonhwa did it without any trouble.
The Baekungbangju’s Tao shattered into hundreds of pieces and flew in all directions, and the Baekungbangju and Black Tigerbangju quickly covered the vital points and defended themselves against the fragments of the Tao that had become secret arts by surrounding them with their internal energy.
Pubber pubber!!!
However, it was not completely resolved, and parts of his body were pierced and he was injured.
“Ugh! What the hell is this guy!”
Although the wound was not shallow, Baek Woong Bangju’s momentum was not broken.
While showing hostility towards Cheonhwa, who was believed to have interfered with him by sending a powerful blast of lightning, he tried to end the Black Tiger’s life before he could intervene again.
“Wow!”
Although his hands were covered in wounds, they had been trained countless times and were already like weapons.
Pretending to care about Cheonhwa, he spread out the sword with his hand and tried to cut off the Black Tiger’s breath.
“Oh my, you don’t understand what I’m saying!”
Pang!!
But this time too, the attempt was in vain.
When Cheonhwa irritably flicked the gold, his hand flew away on its own and his internal energy was dissipated.
“Ugh!!”
Because of this, Baek Woong Bang Ju’s right hand became almost useless. He hurriedly retreated due to the intense pain and looked for a weapon to replace the damaged Tao, but he would never be able to hold it in his right hand again.
“Oh, thank you. But you… … ?”
Thanks to that, the Black Tiger Ark barely managed to regain its energy after being saved.
He swung his internal energy again to stop the poison from spreading any further, but his condition was still bad.
Because I overdid it, the poison spread deep, and I had to expend more internal energy than before to barely suppress the poison.
Even that took time, and it was still unknown whether Baek Woong Bangju and Ja Woong could compete in that state.
“I am a musician from Gaeyangru.”
“……evil?”
So, for now, I had no choice but to rely on Cheonhwa.
Baekwoongbangju suffered great losses and retreated, so he quickly retreated and approached Cheonhwa.
However, contrary to his expectations that he would naturally be an unmanned person, Cheonhwa introduced himself as a musician.
“How can a musician have such power…? No. Anyway, thank you. I survived thanks to you. When I’m done with this, thank you generously!”
“Oh my. Why go that far? Then I won’t refuse!”
That’s why Black Tiger Ark was flustered, but now was not the time to discuss such things.
Not only himself, but also his methods and the masters who gathered to celebrate the wedding are having a hard time.
It is unknown what level Cheonhwa’s martial arts skills are, but at a time when the hand of a single master is urgently needed, if there is a strong person who can even scatter the entire power of Baekwoongbangju, it is necessary to bring him to one’s side unconditionally.
“I will deal with my Baekungbangju myself. In the meantime, you will help others… … .”
“Well, that’s difficult.”
The best thing would be for Cheonhwa to defeat Baekungbangju, but it wouldn’t be easy for such a young master to do that.
I’ve already seen him gain the upper hand twice over Baek Woong Bang Ju, but I judged it to be because he let his guard down.
That is why the Black Tiger Ark asked the others to help him while he himself faced the White Bear Ark with a determined expression, but the answer he received was completely unexpected.
“Could it be that you have completely exhausted your internal energy? Or have you suffered an internal injury? This is going to be difficult. If this happens… … .”
That means I can’t help you anymore.
At those words, Black Tiger Ark naturally concluded that Cheonhwa had overdone it.
The Baek Woong Bangju’s single blow was difficult for even the most skilled of people to block, so he thought that he had poured all of his internal energy into stopping and pushing him back twice.
It was something that could have caused internal injuries or even consumed my innate energy.
It was truly a blessing, but at the same time it was also embarrassing.
Although their lives were saved once, they were still on the defensive and did not have the luxury of looking after the safety of Cheonhwa, who could be considered their benefactor.
“No, that’s not my job. I saved that place because I was worried that if the owner died, I wouldn’t get paid for today.”
So what should we do?
While I was thinking deeply, Cheonhwa once again blurted out something incomprehensible.
“Wages… … you mean?”
Naturally, a look of bewilderment appeared on Black Tiger’s face.
What a paycheck. You’re thinking about that in the middle of all this?
I was so shocked that my internal energy, which I had been barely able to gather, almost disappeared, but I managed to keep my wits about me.
He bit his lip as he watched Baek Woong Bang Ju approach him, holding the sword that was handed to him by his subordinate with his unfamiliar left hand.
“That wage. I’ll pay you double. If you don’t get involved in this fight. And I won’t hold you guilty of hurting me either.”
In the meantime, Baek Woong Bang Joo, who had overheard their conversation, intervened.
He also had a hard time understanding this situation, but he could use it as a Sapha. He judged it and tried to persuade Cheonhwa in return.
There are many people among the Safaines who reveal money in that way and are driven by money.
Cheonhwa considered him one of them and proposed a deal.
Not even taking their side, but saying that if they just didn’t interfere, they would pay them double whatever they had agreed to pay the Black Tiger Ark.
“Double?”
“You, no way… … !”
Taat!
Cheonhwa reacted to those words.
As soon as he confirmed that charming appearance, Baek Woong Bangju flew towards Heuk Ho Bangju again.
Although he was unfamiliar with his left hand, he thought that if Cheonhwa did not interfere, he would be able to gather all of his body’s power and defeat the Black Tiger Ark.
‘Then I’ll cut you down too.’
Of course, it contained a plan to strike down even the bystander Cheonhwa in one blow.
That is why he poured a huge amount of energy into the sword and swung it horizontally. He intended to cut down Cheonhwa along with the Black Tiger Ark.
“Do you know who the beggar is?”
Boom!!!
However, the Baekungbangju’s wheel could not even be swung halfway.
The moment he swept through the sword while looking at the astonished face of the Black Tiger, something dark and dark appeared on his face.
“Wow?!”
He shot white beads into the air and bounced back in the exact same shape as his subordinate.
“Am I a person who values the rewards of sacred labor?”
Cheonhwa showed a look of displeasure as he looked down on that guy.
How dare you insult my sacred labor. Money is good, but this is something I cannot tolerate.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if it were twenty times more!”
Of course, there were some other issues, but they were minor.
“I should have told you earlier… …!”
“… … .”
Baek Woong Bangju, who was thrown back with all his body wounded in that one blow, was already out of breath.
Although he was not completely out of breath, his aerodynamics, which had been pushed to the limit, suddenly broke, so not only was his face damaged, but his internal organs were also badly damaged.
Knowing that, the Black Tiger Lord also blushed for a moment, but did not dare to rush in and take his life.
It was not only that the Baekungbang masters rushed in and desperately tried to embrace him and help him escape, but also because they were concerned about the existence of Cheonhwa, who treated Baekungbangju so lightly.
What if the interest disappears while you are dealing with them?
What if, by chance, you are recruited by someone else and turn into an enemy?
All sorts of ominous thoughts were rushing through my mind, so I just broke out in a cold sweat and was unable to respond properly.
“Then let’s do this. Help me deal with those guys. Then I’ll pay you twenty times the amount you promised me.”
So the most urgent task was to capture Cheonhwa.
At the very least, I promised to pay twenty times the musician’s daily wage, which I don’t even remember how much it was, so that he wouldn’t make an enemy of me.
Twenty times 2 nyang of gold was equivalent to 40 nyang of gold, and in silver it was equivalent to a whopping 800 nyang of silver.
“Twenty times? That’s fine. Anyway, the wedding is over and the place seems to be broken, so just give me today’s wages.”
“Please help me. I’m like this… … !”
But the words that came out of Cheonhwa’s mouth were rejection.
He refused a huge sum of money, amounting to 40 nyang.
“They say that if you just sit still, you’ll gain twenty pounds, but it’s not like you’re going to eat it raw… … Ahem.”
But it wasn’t a complete rejection.
In fact, he never said that he would give Baekwoongbangju, but he muttered in a not-so-small voice as if telling her to listen, and Black Tigerbangju came to his senses.
I didn’t like the way he kept talking about money, but I absolutely needed his help right now, so I had to catch him no matter what.
“Thirty times! No, I’ll give you fifty times. Please help me!”
Thanks to this, the price of 2 nyang of gold soared to 100 nyang of gold.
If he had known how much Cheonhwa’s daily salary was, he would have hesitated no matter how urgent it was, but even if he had personally told Gaeyangru to bring the best musicians, the position of Black Tiger Archer was too high for him to remember everything.
Thanks to this, even if the Black Tigers win, they will be in a situation where at least one of the main beams will be pulled out, if not the pillars.
If they could minimize the damage and conserve their power, they would have a chance to stand up again, but if more masters died, even if they were to destroy Baekwoongbang, they would have to struggle with financial difficulties for a while.
However, Black Tiger Ark did not yet know what he had promised.
“Ahem. I can’t help it since you’re asking me this much. Alright. I’ll help you. Instead!”
“……instead?”
Still, I managed to somehow obtain Cheonhwa’s help.
But before I could be happy about that, I couldn’t help but swallow my saliva at Cheonhwa’s words that added another clue.
“This is different from the work of a musician, so you have to pay separately?”
Fortunately, the remaining conditions were simple.
The musician’s work and this assistance are completely different tasks, so please calculate them separately.
“Okay, let’s get moving!”
In other words, it means that you should give 102 nyang instead of 100 nyang.
If he had known better, he would have grabbed the back of his neck, but since the situation was urgent, Black Tiger Lord readily accepted and urged Cheonhwa on.
“Let’s see. Let’s change the mood first.”
After receiving a definite answer from the Black Tiger Ark, Cheonhwa looked around first with an evil smile.
Since Baekwoongbangju was already in a situation where he could not fight, instead of finishing him off, I checked on the members of Heukhobang who were having a hard time.
I don’t like the sight of you being poisoned by such a low-level poison, but I have to help you since you agreed to pay me.
Cheon Eum Shin Gong.
The place of performance.
The aesthetics of slowness.
“What are you doing… … ?”
Ding ding ding –
Cheonhwa’s hand moved slowly.
The Black Tiger Ark next to him began to burn gold at a slow pace that made him feel like his insides were going to burst.
“Poison?”
How can you have that much leeway in a time-critical situation?
At the moment when the frustrated Black Tiger was about to say something, his body realized the meaning of the performance before his mind.
The poison subsides.
The surging anger and the accelerated blood flow slowly subsided along with the sound, and the movement of the poison that had been resisting so strongly also became quiet.
In that state, I moved my internal energy to suppress the poison, and the stabilization of my body, which I thought would take a long time, was achieved in an instant.
“Okay!”
“You guys! I’ll kill you all!!!”
It wasn’t just the Black Tiger Ark that was affected.
The Black Tiger’s warriors, who had been constantly on the defensive, began to counterattack as the poison subsided and they regained their composure.
Although we were unable to turn the tide of battle as quickly as we had hoped, as we had already suffered considerable damage, we were able to endure by dealing with it fairly effectively.
“Is this even possible…?”
Thanks to that, even the Black Tiger Lord, who was trying to urge Cheonhwa to hurry up, lost his mind for a moment.
I had heard that the magical martial arts that the Mosanpa boasted of boasted such transcendental abilities, but I realized that this was a power of a different category.
Suppressing the poison just by playing the notes.
I became curious about Cheonhwa’s true identity.
“Let’s see. It’s a pain to deal with them one by one… … .”
But Cheonhwa, who actually did that, was just doing what he had to do, no matter what he thought.
It is quite possible to split the sound and send it only to those who recognize it as an enemy.
Even if it is just a transmission, it is a skill that uses internal energy to transmit one’s sound to the desired target.
However, since it requires a great deal of internal energy and precise use of internal energy to exert power, it cannot help but be tiring, but if one wanted to do it, it was not something that Cheonhwa could not do.
“Should we try this?”
It’s just annoying.
Dealing with all those little guys one by one was pointless and a waste of energy and time.
So instead of using an attack like Tanjugyeokmyeol, Cheonhwa put a new performance on gold.
Cheon Eum Shin Gong.
Tanju’s chapter.
The King’s Chronicles.
Oh my god!
At that moment, a thrilling tone containing the spirit of the overlord filled the garden.
“… … !”
Thud thud
Those who could not handle the spirit of the sound rolled their eyes and began to collapse all at once on the spot.
