The World of Sound - Chapter 81



Only Krnovel

“That’s true… … Good. Who are you going to target?”

The atmosphere in the arena changed with the reappearance of Cheonhwa, who had just recently displayed a rather intense divine power that could even shatter a sword ring.

Boiling and cold.

These conflicting atmospheres appeared simultaneously.

Naturally, he was seething with anticipation at the thought of once again witnessing the martial arts of a master of the highest level, perhaps one that could easily rival the skills of a hundred great masters, but he was quickly quenched by the fear and anxiety that he might be singled out as his opponent.

As some of the experts were making excuses, Cheonhwa smiled faintly and raised his hand.

“I think some of you might be bored because of the rainstorm earlier, so I think it would be good if Namgung Se-ga came out.”

“Huh?”

“No matter what, it’s Namgung Se-ga. His only secondary index is…!”

“Isn’t that just a little bit? You already have the skills to be among the top 100 masters, so you are more than qualified!”

“I can finally experience the proper Emperor’s Sword form? This is a windfall!”

What he was referring to was none other than Namgung Se-ga-ju and Namgung Cheon-myeong.

In fact, the opponent had already been decided.

The reason I didn’t use my right to nominate him was because I knew this position would open up.

I hadn’t thought about Margin’s non-combat, but even if that wasn’t the case, I also thought that I wouldn’t be able to avoid this place.

Because your child has already suffered greatly from you.

Besides, if you create the right atmosphere, there would be no way for the martial artists not to step forward, even for the sake of their reputation, which they value so much.

The moment you avoid it, you will be branded with the stigma of running away.

If he could get away with clever words, he would have to use the energy of the yin yang to incite the people gathered here, so Cheonhwa looked at him with a triumphant smile.

‘It would have been better if he was the Sword King.’

However, if there is one thing that is regrettable, it is that he is not the Sword King. The most powerful person in the Namgung family is the Sword King who belongs to the Samjeo-owangsamgwi, but he is the previous head of the family and did not participate in this event because the current head of the family is there.

But I wasn’t that disappointed.

Although I would like to compete with the Sword King, I prefer to resolve the issue myself as the one who has accumulated karma.

“This looks like I’ve been really underestimated. Good. Let’s do that.”

Thanks to this, the eyes of everyone gathered here were focused on Namgung Se-ga and Namgung Cheon-myeong.

He sat up, quietly looking at Cheonhwa, either because he felt burdened by her gaze or because he was confident. He snickered and got up.

I slowly landed on the stage as if flying and faced Cheonhwa.

“I’m not underestimating it, but based on what I’ve seen so far, I don’t really have high expectations!”

Cheonhwa once again provoked that guy without any hesitation.

It was something that one would wonder who could say to him, the head of the Five Great Clans and the leader of the Namgung Clan.

The words that Cheonhwa just uttered were disparaging the martial arts of Namgung Se-ga, unlike Margin, who had saved face.

“How arrogant. As your senior in the martial arts world, I will teach you humility.”

“Well, if you can.”

However, Namgung Cheonmyeong’s reaction was not as intense as expected.

Perhaps he was holding back because there were so many eyes watching him, but even if that wasn’t true, it didn’t matter.

Because the strong have no reason to fear the weak.

“I wish things were a little different over there.”

That is why Cheonhwa sincerely gave him some words of wisdom.

“Look forward to it.”

“… … ?”

At that moment, Namgung Cheonmyeong stretched out his hand towards the outside of the stage.

At the same time, something flew in from outside the stage.

‘This kid.’

Turuk

What flew in and was caught in his hand was none other than a wooden sword.

He plans to fight Cheonhwa with a wooden sword, not his beloved sword or an ordinary iron sword.

Of course, it couldn’t be said that it was only because he looked down on it.

A master of that level wouldn’t be able to use a weapon.

Even if they were to roughly pull out a reed leaf and swing it like a famous sword, the masters of the highest level could pull out the sword and swing it like a famous sword. So, no one here would ignore or criticize them even if they wielded a wooden sword.

‘It definitely seems like there’s an ulterior motive.’

It was the same with Cheonhwa.

So the reason Cheonhwa was showing discomfort now was not just because he had treated her like a commoner by holding a wooden sword, but because his actions clearly implied some kind of scheming.

Even if he was the head of the Namgung family, or even if he was the Sword King, there was no way he could have truly thought of fighting him with a wooden sword after seeing the martial arts he had shown earlier.

That wooden sword might not be an ordinary wooden sword, and the wooden sword might be an illusion and aimed at something else.

It was impossible to figure it out right away, but I also felt reluctant to leave it alone.

“Do it right. Don’t make excuses later.”

“I’m not making excuses. I’m not ignoring you either. I just want you to understand that I’ve recently come to a realization.”

Because of that, Cheonhwa immediately applied the brakes, but the bastard avoided it with clever words.

Even though he said all this, if he insisted on properly raising his sword, there was a chance that the fight would not be successful, so Cheonhwa had no choice but to back down at this point.

‘Yeah. Let’s see if you can still say something like that after getting hit.’

If you’re going to make a move, you might as well destroy it before it gets going or along with the move.

“Commence the fight!”

After looking back at Namgung Cheonmyeong, who was acting very relaxed, perhaps out of pride, Cheonhwa distanced himself and soon heard the announcement of the start of the military operation.

“It doesn’t seem like you really want to, so let’s go without giving in even for three seconds.”

At the same time, despite the fact that the distribution of martial arts was far away, Namgung Cheonmyeong did not care and struck first.

“They say it’s the reign of the emperor.”

“… … ?”

Kuung!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo-

What unfolded with him was a heavy cloud of footsteps.

The footsteps, with their heavy resonance and immense pressure like the emperor’s footsteps, shot out a terrifying wave of energy towards the heavenly flower in front.

He tried to suppress Cheonhwa with an invisible energy, along with a pressure that made those who encountered him kneel down.

‘Is it a coincidence?’

It was a trick to make Cheonhwa kneel with just one move without swinging a wooden sword and let him feel the difference in strength, but Cheonhwa’s reaction when he actually encountered that strength was quite strange.

Of course, that power is not something to be feared.

It’s just a little surprising.

Not the power, but the technique itself.

‘Well, there could be something similar. I think the Thousand-Hour Demon King’s Rimbo would be similar.’

It was not a method of shooting out waves of energy or emitting internal energy like a swordsman, but a method of resonating with heaven and earth to create huge waves.

Since it was a technique that was closer to yin martial arts than the general martial arts, it was familiar to Cheonhwa, and blocking it itself was not that difficult.

Because all you have to do is cut off the connection with heaven and earth or analyze its wavelength and dissolve it.

“Free of charge.”

Slowly, slowly

But Cheonhwa didn’t feel the need to do that.

Instead, I walked into the waves that were shooting out at me without any concern.

He just walked out quietly, as if he was going out for a walk, without even a single cloud of footsteps.

Cheonumshinkong

Basic Techniques

Free of charge

Because the basic essence of Cheon-eum-singong was to become one with heaven and earth and the world.

Don’t go against the flow, don’t force anything.

Thus, becoming one with the world and escaping all danger was the basis of Cheon-eum-singong.

As he moved his body with the steps that contained it, the waves of the Emperor’s Sword could not harm him.

As if he was stepping out of the way on his own, he was able to continue walking without any damage or influence, even though he had entered the midst of that storm-like force.

“… … !”

Woof woof

Namgung Cheonmyeong was quite embarrassed by that sight.

Although he didn’t show it, he stepped on the Emperor’s steps several times with force as if he didn’t know how Cheonhwa had escaped his Emperor’s steps.

“Oh my. Dust. Is that something that makes people cough? It would be perfect if you called it yellow dust!”

However, Cheonhwa simply waved her hand lightly to scatter the flying stones and walked towards them as if nothing had happened.

“That’s interesting.”

Namgung Cheonmyeong also stopped walking at that sight.

They quickly acknowledged that the Emperor’s strategy was not working and moved on to the next method.

Woohoo!

The hand I was holding began to tremble.

To be exact, the wooden sword reacted to the energy he had breathed into it and let out a long cry.

“Sword!”

Blackmail.

When the union of the two swords is reached, and the inner power communicates with the sword, the spirit of the sword is awakened.

“No, this is… … a sword!”

predominance-

Wooi wooi wooi-!

No. The power that Namgung Cheonmyeong created did not stop there.

The name of the sword is merely a signal that serves as proof of the union of the divine sword, but what he created was a song of the sword, a sword song.

“Hmm. They say that if a coincidence repeats itself, it’s not a coincidence anymore?”

And that was the realm of the yin yang.

The history contained in the sword, or the caster’s thoughts, began to spread as sound waves with special power.

“Ugh!”

“A, a sorcery?!”

“How can Namgung Se-ga have such an aura… … ?!”

Then, those exposed to the sword twisted their bodies and vomited blood.

If it was strong energy, I would have tried to block it by offsetting it, but since it had the nature of a negative energy, I couldn’t defend against it.

It’s a creepy and terrifying murder sound.

I wondered how he, the owner of Namgung Se-ga, could possibly make excuses for making such a fuss, but since it was the realm of the yin yang, I guess it wouldn’t be impossible to make excuses.

Since sound can be interpreted differently depending on the listener, it could have been covered up somehow if they had claimed that it was not their intention.

Because the one who made that sound was none other than Namgung Se-ga.

“Everyone, raise your internal energy and protect your ears!”

“Please open the curtain to block out the sound and protect the surrounding area!”

Of course, if the Shaolin abbot spit out something like the afterlife of the lion, like he did against the overlord, it could be resolved to some extent, but that would be interfering with the non-combat.

Also, although it is temperamentally fierce and vicious, it is not witchcraft.

It was not a strange aura, but only the pure internal energy of Namgung Se-ga and the will of Namgung Cheon-myeong added to it, so the aura of the Pasa could not exert its power properly.

Since it is a wooden sword, it is unlikely that the sword itself has a history of murder or killing intent of this extent.

That’s why the masters guarding the area had no choice but to use a temporary measure of spreading out their barriers to block out the sound.

“What do you mean, you look down on the sound of the moon? You were cracking pumpkin seeds behind my back.”

However, even if it was a sound wave with serious and vicious intentions like Sapa’s method, it could not violate Cheonhwa.

Whether it was the Emperor’s Sword or this, it wasn’t just an imitation of the Yin Gong technique, but rather a technique that had been properly trained and had become quite sophisticated, so it was difficult to completely dodge it with just the Musangbo, but it was possible to disperse it for a while, and in the meantime, Cheonhwa had the Iron Ring Pipa in his hand.

Diriring-

As the performance began, the peculiar tone of the sword was neutralized.

He could have spread his yin and yang to scatter the swordsmanship or cancel them out by colliding with him, but Cheonhwa simply changed the nature of the swordsmanship by mixing his yin and yang into the bastard’s song.

“Huh?!”

Thanks to this, the sword song, which was like a devil’s song full of murderous intent, changed into a sad melody containing the sorrow of a sorrowful woman.

At the same time, the violent energy contained within it also dispersed.

The power of the sword lies in the will, so it was natural that it would lose its power when the will was diluted.

“The Emperor’s Madness.”

The guy who noticed the change immediately changed his tactics.

He brought down the wooden sword while still maintaining his sword stance.

Although it was only a single swing, the sword wind that came from it was truly terrifying.

It was not only the fierce momentum of the sword that flew in as if it would strike the heavens, but even though it looked like the wind of the sword, there was an invisible energy hidden within it.

“You should have said so from the beginning!”

It was a power greater than that of the previously unfolded Emperor’s Sword or Sword of the Sword.

It was a truly powerful and brutal storm that could never be taken lightly, but Cheonhwa was delighted and changed his performance.

“The world will be destroyed by a great explosion.”

Cheonumshinkong

Jinhyeon’s chapter

The destruction of the world

If the Emperor’s Gwangma Wind was a force that trampled through space, then the Jinse Bomb Myeolgang was a force that ruled over space.

Naturally, that category also included the space that the Emperor’s Mad Wind was eating into.

However, while the original Jinsebokmyeolgang shot out a sound wave that seemed to explode the entire space and caused damage to the opponent by exploding, this time the power was concentrated on the front of the Emperor’s Light Demon Wind.

The incoming gale force blew away the wind and the strong energy, and advanced towards Namgung Cheonmyeong.

“Oh my… … !”

“Even the King’s Sword of the Namgung Sega Family?!”

The energy of Jinsebokmyeolgang completely swallowed up Namgung Cheonmyeong.

The beast’s teeth, made of steel, seemed to be chewing and devouring him.

“The Emperor Appears!”

However, Cheonhwa’s sound didn’t cause much damage to him.

The moment he was about to tear the bastard apart, a strong energy like armor rose from his body and protected him.

The worm bit it but did not harm it.

Even though he was hit head-on, he displayed his prowess by taking it without a single scratch or even a trace of internal injury.

“As expected, Namgung Se-ga is the best!”

“You don’t even flinch at the baptism of that much strength!”

“The evil dragon’s methods don’t work!!”

Thanks to that, the surroundings were boiling.

It seems like he has already forgotten what kind of damage the sword he unleashed did, and he has forgotten that Cheonhwa’s attack not only countered the bastard’s attack but also ate it, and he is only focused on the fact that he received all of the attacks with his bare body and came out unscathed.

Moreover, even after receiving such a great attack, he maintained an orphaned posture as if his attacks were ineffective against him, so he got excited and screamed as if he had the upper hand, even though he didn’t gain anything in particular.

“Huh. What are you talking about again?”

Cheonhwa was also quite interested in the technique that was different from the self-defense technique, but that was it.

However, he did not have the illusion that his attacks were ineffective.

Rather, he made a playful expression, as if he was curious about how far the armor of that strong man could block his attacks.

‘From Dangga to Namgungse. I don’t know if what the master said is wrong or if these guys have evolved.’

Also interesting was the skill that went into the technique called Emperor’s Incarnation.

It’s not just a simple armor covering the body.

Not only was the typified force wrapped around it, but it was also rotating slightly and emitting some kind of wavelength.

Thus, it has the function of decomposing the wavelength rather than the energy itself emitted by the opponent.

Just like when I experienced the Mandokam Hwanjin at Sacheondangga, I couldn’t help but think that it was similar to the secrets of Cheonumsingong, and in a way, it was a power designed to aim for and endure it.

“Then I should break it.”

However, that didn’t mean it was untenable.

It is said that it contains similar secrets to the Cheonum Shingong, but its depth cannot be the same.

Cheonhwa was confident, and happened to have a method he could try out.

“The Emperor’s Nine-Tail Wind Sword!”

At that moment, something like mist erupted from the tip of Namgung Cheonmyeong’s sword. Nine lines of mist, whose power was no different from that of a strong spirit, surrounded Cheonhwa as if they were surrounding him.

“The Emperor’s fortune is bright!”

When the sword was swung again, nine blades poured out from the mist.

It felt as if the sword energy from Namgung Cheonmyeong’s sword was spraying out from all directions across space, and a baptism of strong energy poured down with no place to escape.

“Cheon-eum-shin-gong, the wind spirit chapter.”

At that moment, the performance of the Heavenly Flower began.

As the hands moved so quickly that they could not be seen, a fierce wind of wrath rose up around Cheonhwa.
