The World of Sound - Chapter 72



Only Krnovel

“Rampant.”

Damn it!!!

The four swords that transformed into the Emperor’s Sword and the Emperor’s Nine-Tail Wind Sword’s violent energy were destroyed at the same time.

Cheonhwa, who moved quickly like a thousand-armed Avalokiteshvara with his hands splitting into many parts, swung the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine and destroyed them one by one.

“Oh, that’s surprising. You knew how to do such a cheeky thing?”

It was a showdown between Kang-gi and Kang-gi.

Even though there is a difference in level within the same climax, it is hard to imagine that one side’s strength would be mercilessly destroyed.

But then, it happened right before my eyes.

It was not unusual for onlookers to be shocked, drool, or rub their eyes as if they had seen something they should not have seen.

That means that the state of Cheonhwa has reached the peak of maturity.

A hundred great masters.

Although he is known as a figure between the political and social factions, he has shown that he possesses skills that can place him among the strongest Baek-in in the entire martial arts world, regardless of the political and social factions.

It wasn’t like they were trying to hide it, but those who thought that the rumors that had been known for a long time were naturally exaggerated felt like they had been hit in the back of the head with a hammer.

You have to catch it. You have to catch it no matter what.

A spark flew in the eyes of those who knew how great the meaning of one supreme master was.

Everyone had already forgotten about Namgung Se-ga, who had mastered the martial arts and the Emperor’s Sword.

After all, all of these places were just stages to announce the splendid appearance of Cheonhwa.

“This gnome!!!”

Did you notice that fact from the atmosphere around you?

Even though all of his attacks, which he had been proud of, were ineffective, Namgung Jin did not give up.

Rather, he shook off his sword with an even more evil look.

The energy was running wild and each time, a huge amount of internal energy was consumed, but as if he possessed an endless, inexhaustible source of internal energy, he spread the enormous energy as if it were not his own.

“Hoit, hoit!”

Contrary to what that guy thought, Cheonhwa didn’t easily collide with him after he started his rampage.

It wasn’t because my internal energy was lacking, nor was it because the bastard’s attacks were too threatening.

It was because I couldn’t find a reason to fight.

The internal energy that was being sprayed around recklessly would eventually dry up, and every time he sprayed that power, you could hear his muscles and blood screaming.

If you leave it alone, it will self-destruct, so why fight it? It just makes weird noises as if it’s joking, and sometimes dodges in an absurd way.

Thanks to this, those who had their eyes wide open in anticipation of what more Cheonhwa would show were a little disappointed, but what they had already shown through Nanmu was enough.

In fact, from Cheonhwa’s perspective, he had no reason to show everything he had to all these people watching, so on the one hand, he seemed to understand.

That did not diminish his evaluation or value.

“The shell is noisy.”

And above all, the level was too low to hang out with.

The Emperor’s Sword Form was a martial art of great excellence that could definitely be said to be excellent.

The method of causing it was sophisticated and powerful, and the secrets and secret techniques hidden within it were also considered to be quite outstanding.

Could this truly be the vision of Namgung Se-ga, the pillar of the martial arts world and the leader of the five great families?

However, the one who unfolds it is the problem.

Based on his enormous internal energy, he may be able to imitate the Emperor’s Sword form quite well, but he has not been able to approach its deep enlightenment at all, so he is unable to draw out even half of the true power of his martial arts.

Even considering that it is only the beginning of the peak, it is still like that.

If they had been properly trained and unleashed, they should have been twice as powerful as this, and they should have been threatening enough to be able to bring out the Heavenly Sound Divine Power, making it difficult for even the Heavenly Flower to see them.

But now it seemed like he was just using the powerful Samjae Sword Technique.

That might work for the weak reviewers, but it doesn’t work for the truly expert ones.

Even without going to the level of a hundred-time master, it would take time for even an average master who had evenly trained his spirit to be subdued without much difficulty.

It doesn’t even look like he’ll be able to win against Bukgungyeon.

Likewise, she has reached the peak of her power by using a kind of trick, but she is not swayed by swordsmanship or internal energy.

“But that shell looks like it’ll break down soon.”

The reason he doesn’t subdue him is because he is Namgung Jin.

Resentment is something that only exists when the level is right, so if you think about it, I don’t have any ill feelings toward this guy, but I have things I need to repay in Namgung’s case.

And if it was the broken Namgung family’s small house, it would have been a pretty reasonable gift.

That was the reason why Cheonhwa moved around like a sledgehammer, seemingly trying to hit Namgung Jin.

Because he is forcing himself too hard, his insides are gradually being ruined.

It is clear that it is his, but the harmony of the spirits that should be there is seriously distorted, and the wavelength is also arbitrary, so the longer and more effort he puts into it, the more likely he is to be ruined.

It goes without saying that the bones and energy and blood are out of alignment and distorted, and once the balance of the vital energy and blood is out of alignment, it is difficult to restore it even after a long period of cultivation.

I don’t know exactly how he increased his internal energy and forcibly raised his level, but even without the aftereffects, he might have become a body that could no longer use martial arts, so this should be enough compensation.

“… … ?”

Cheonhwa, who thought that and smiled faintly, turned her head slightly. She met his eyes with the man who was Namgung Jin’s father and the head of the Namgung family.

And then I felt something strange.

He was clearly my child, and he was the eldest son, and I thought of him as a successor, enough to give him the Emperor’s Sword, but he just glared at Cheonhwa with a stern expression.

He may have been suppressing his anger, but it felt subtly different.

Is this a rather cold-hearted look?

Rather than worrying about his children, he seemed to be dissecting himself with his eyes wide open, as if he was carefully examining the natural disasters that could become obstacles in the future.

The feeling was quite unpleasant, but I shook it off.

Because from now on, she will make him feel even more uncomfortable.

“You can’t miss a beat when you’re dancing!”

Philili-

After a while, Cheonhwa took the Ice Spirit Medicine into his mouth.

He started playing along to the movements of Namgung Jin violently performing the Emperor’s Sword.

“What is that… … !”

“Behave yourself!!”

Their appearance is like that of a musician and a dancer.

The sight of Namgung Jin swinging his sword with all his might but with considerable grace and Cheonhwa playing along with him seems like they are enjoying a dance rather than a martial arts performance.

Immediately, complaints erupted from some people.

Namgung Jin’s martial arts skills, showing off his Emperor’s Sword form, were certainly surprising, but the difference in strength was already obvious.

In that situation, Cheonhwa’s performance and singing, avoiding all attacks, seemed as if he was ignoring his opponent.

“Don’t make me laugh! What’s wrong with someone who uses a sound source playing the instrument?”

“The one who can’t match is the one with the highest score!”

But he too immediately encountered resistance from others.

Although Namgung Jin’s appearance was funny and pitiful, most of the people gathered here already had favorable feelings toward Cheonhwa.

Since he considered them to be targets that had to be embraced unconditionally, whether they were the Jeongpa or the Sapa, he had no choice but to give a friendly answer to Cheonhwa, and since Cheonhwa’s martial arts had already been revealed to be sound arts, it didn’t matter at all whether he played music or danced.

In fact, those who were skilled could sense that there was a certain power in the notes flowing from his flute.

Since it was also a part of the sound, it could be seen that he was faithfully carrying out his duties regardless of its utility, and since his voice was much louder, the voices that had been opposing him quickly died down.

“Fight back! Are you going to keep running away like a coward!!”

And in reality, Cheonhwa’s tone was causing considerable damage to Namgung Jin.

Although it didn’t cause a direct hit, it stirred up his energy and blood and distorted the waves of his mind and spirit, making the burden even greater.

As a result, Namgung Jin’s body reached a point where he could barely hold on.

He is forcibly holding on by using his enormous internal energy, but his spirit has already gone beyond disharmony and is on the verge of collapse.

That’s why he provoked Cheonhwa, hoping for one last clash, but Cheonhwa was not willing to respond.

“Yeah. I don’t intend to fight. Go back.”

Ppaang!

As he lightly breathed into the Ice Spirit Medicine, Namgung Jin’s body, which had been rushing towards him, was pushed back to the position it was in before he unleashed his magic.

‘Is this what you’re watching?’

Considering that it was no exaggeration to say that his entire body was surrounded by strong energy, it was an unbelievable technique, but Cheonhwa acted as if it was nothing.

But what is surprising even to him is that even though it has come to this point, there has been no response from Namgung Se-ga’s side.

If we go just a little further, Namgung Jin will be completely ruined.

There are ways to stop the beating even if you are not the one doing it.

If you raise the white flag given just in case, it means that you have admitted defeat.

Cheonhwa had no intention of receiving a white flag, no reason to do so, and no one to entrust it to, so she didn’t receive it in the first place, but even though the white flag was clearly given to them, they just watched.

It could be that he did this to protect his pride since he was the Namgung family, but does that mean he will just watch Sogaju become a loser?

Just because of the late index non-contest?

It was something that was difficult to understand even with the word cold-blooded.

“Since it has come to this, I will kill you!”

At that time, Namgung Jin, who was unable to do anything, went berserk once again.

While he was spraying the sword continuously, half-losing his mind, he moved his hand in the gap and grabbed something in his arms.

‘Is that it?’

Even if others didn’t know, Cheonhwa saw the sight clearly.

It was difficult to confirm the shape because he took it out from his arms, but I could easily guess what he was trying to do.

A elixir that greatly increases Namgung Jin’s internal energy.

It would be like trying to swallow it again, similar to a sleeping group.

Even though his body was already in a state where it couldn’t handle it, if he were to eat it, his body would surely collapse, perhaps because he already knew his condition, or perhaps because his desire for revenge and anger towards Cheonhwa was so great, he tried to gather even more strength once again.

“stop!”

At that moment, a white flag rose from Namgung Se-ga.

It’s a somewhat ambiguous moment to say that it’s to save Namgung Jin.

Just by coming here, his body was already so damaged that he would need at least three months of rest and all kinds of treatment.

‘So you’re saying you want to hide that… …more than your child’s life?’

So, it seemed like they wanted to hide the identity of the elixir.

It wasn’t that, even though the declaration of the ceasefire was made, Namgung Jin, unable to control his anger, tried to swallow the elixir, so Namgung Se-ga jumped onto the stage himself.

“Crunch… … !”

He knocked out Namgung Jin by touching the blood vessel, and with quick movements, he secretly retrieved the elixir he was holding.

It could have been a poison or something like that, but the fact that he had tried to take it himself and the fine powder that fell during the process of taking it away told us that it was a drug with special powers.

“The winner is the Evil Dragon Heavenly Flower Sohyeop!”

This was clearly something that could be problematic.

Because he tried to take unauthorized drugs right before the ceremony and tried to take them again during the ceremony.

However, no one questioned it when Namgung Se-ga himself stepped forward and was defeated.

This may also be because there is no specific provision regarding drug intake in the competition regulations.

There are quite a few types of drugs in the martial arts world that can stimulate potential, but they all have serious side effects, so there is no reason to use them in a martial arts competition.

If it were the finals, it might be a different story, but there are also reasons why it is difficult to accept or believe the claim that Namgung Se did such a thing in a place where there were so many people in order to be in the top 4 where prizes were given.

There was also a lack of clear evidence.

If Namgung Se-ga were to spread his hands, evidence might emerge, but who would dare do such a thing here?

“Your Majesty. It’s been a while.”

Unless it’s a heavenly flower.

“… … !”

Namgung Jin, who threw away his pride as the head of the Five Great Clans, raised the white flag, climbed onto the stage himself, and knocked out his son, Namgung Jin.

Even the referee found him difficult and just watched as they helped up the fallen Namgung Jin, but Cheonhwa suddenly walked up to him and grabbed his hand before he could even dodge.

As he couldn’t avoid grabbing the hand that had taken the elixir from Namgung Jin, a look of confusion and anger appeared on Namgung Se-ga’s face.

“It’s been… long… time. Evil Dragon.”

It wasn’t a simple handshake, it was a golden fist.

As he couldn’t avoid it, he clasped his hands together and spread his hands apart, and Namgung Se-ga had no choice but to take his hands.

And then, the elixir inside fell into Cheonhwa’s hands.

To others, it may have seemed like Chunhwa, who admired Namgung Se-ga, quickly approached him and shook his hand with both hands, but the reality was different.

If he were to accidentally let go or reject it, its existence would become known to the world, so Namgung Se-ga had no choice but to quietly hand over the elixir to Cheon-hwa with a stern face.

“I’m probably too busy with this child’s treatment right now, so I’ll see you later… … later.”

“Oh, yes. I guess so. Then I’ll see you later. I think we’ll have a lot to talk about.”

If I wanted to make a fuss here, I could have.

Since the elixir has already passed, it might be a problem if we push it towards Cheonhwa.

If you use the name and power of the Namgung family, you might be able to drag them into a foul play.

‘Can you put up with this?’

However, he did not do so.

He handed over the elixir to Cheonhwa and glared at him as if he was going to eat him, but he gathered up Namgung Jin and retreated from the stage.

This was a part that even Cheonhwa, who had prepared to scatter the elixir in her hand in case he tried to do something, found somewhat surprising.

That must have been why they decided that it was more important to hide the existence of this elixir.

That’s why I became more curious.

What is this and why did it come from Namgung Se-ga?

‘Haomen would be able to figure it out.’

I would soon have the chance to meet him face to face, but I wasn’t sure if I would be able to get the answer, so I devised my own method.

Just as we have discovered the true identity of the sleeping group, we plan to ask Haomun to find out the ingredients and efficacy of the medicine.

Next, we should look into the reason why Namgung Se-ga came to possess and use this thing that looks very similar to the sleeping group.

What kind of connection do you have with them?

So, the first match of the quarterfinals of the later index competition ended.

It could be said that it was a series of surprises and great changes, but that was only the beginning.

Because the remaining non-combatants also caused shock and surprise.
