The World of Sound - Chapter 89
Only Krnovel
“hmm……?”
Kuung!
A small hole appeared where the fire had damaged the area.
An arrow with this much energy should naturally cause a significant explosion, but this means that the power was concentrated and had great penetrative power.
Cheonhwa glanced at it and made a strange expression.
I was surprised by its powerful force, but it was also because I could see through the many techniques and secrets contained in that one step.
“Is that guy?”
However, they do not fly in rapid succession.
One hit, one kill. It was a shot that suited that purpose.
Of course, it didn’t work on me.
“As expected, there are a lot of interesting people in the martial arts world.”
Thump thump-
Unlike her smiling face, Cheonhwa’s hands were busy.
He continued to play even more intensely while avoiding attacks and checking the location of the person who seemed to be the leader of the Blood Archery Group.
“Ugh!”
“What is this… … !”
Accordingly, the movements of the brain have become faster and more varied.
He passed through the bodies of the Blood Palace members who entered his senses, rendering them unable to fight one by one.
It would have been quite possible to hold the breath, but only to shorten the time.
Since they will desperately defend against vital points that could cost them their lives, I neutralize them by cutting them down just enough to render them moderately incapacitated or take away their mobility.
Even so, his eyes followed the Blood Palace Master.
Even as his subordinates fell, he looked straight at the guy who was pulling the strings again, stepping on the sword without any hesitation.
Wedge-
Then, the arrow from a little while ago aimed at Cheonhwa again.
It was definitely something that could be called a poetry reading.
It was a powerful blow that was covered with a strong energy rather than a sword energy, more powerful than that of other members of the Blood Palace, and although I was chasing it with my eyes, I could barely feel it flying towards me, so it seemed to be under the effect of a special qi technique.
Does it seem as if the arrow is performing a stealth trick?
Surely, even the most skilled player would die screaming if they let their guard down.
It was that secretive and powerful, but what didn’t work once wasn’t going to work a second time.
Moreover, this time we have prepared.
Cheonhwa moved her body as soon as the arrow was shot.
“Oh?”
Then, as if it had been waiting, the arrow changes direction.
Is it a winning technique? Or a similar technique?
I never thought it would come to this, but Cheonhwa dealt with it easily.
Cheonumshinkong
Jinhyeon’s chapter
Iron Age Amplitude
Even though they were protected by a strong wind, the arrowheads were inevitably made of metal. And in the case of these projectiles, even a slight twist of the tip would cause a large change in direction.
“!!”
The arrowhead that was aiming for Cheonhwa, twisting like a snake, suddenly deviated from its trajectory and soared into the air.
The panicked guy quickly tried to control the direction of the arrow again by moving his energy, but he was defeated by Cheonhwa’s subsequent technique and could not continue the battle any longer.
dissonance.
What was spread through the Cheolryeong Bipa took control of the entire area and cut off all the energy within it.
If the dissonance spread by the Ice Spirit Jade Medicine made it difficult for the target to use their internal energy, the dissonance spread through the string was the type that neutralized an entire area.
As a result, the arrow, whose internal connection with its master had been severed, would continue to rise until its strength ran out and then fall back down. Naturally, once the connection was severed, it was difficult to reconnect even after the dissonant technique disappeared.
It might be possible if you pour in a huge amount of stamina, but it wouldn’t be as powerful as before, and there would be an overwhelming difference in the amount of stamina consumed.
“You showed me something fun, so I should return the favor.”
So Cheonhwa didn’t even look up at the arrow that disappeared into the distant sky, but flew up and picked up one of the arrows scattered around.
He clenched his teeth and moved his position again, drawing the empty bow towards the Blood Archer who was putting distance between him and him.
“… … ?”
Just pulling the trigger without any arrows.
It was actually a taboo act.
Even if you don’t have an arrow, pulling an empty bow at your opponent is like a warning that I will kill you.
However, it was not something that could be done in a combat situation like now.
Why would you issue such a warning when you’re already fighting?
However, Cheonhwa’s actions were not just a warning or a prank.
Fight!
“Intangible poetry!?”
If what he shot was a silent arrow, then this is an arrow without even a form.
To be exact, it is the shape of an arrow created using energy and sound waves.
Cheonumshinkong
The Wind Chimes
Pungnyeongsi
It was a bit different from the formless poem that the Blood Palace Master thought of and the legendary formless sword that the so-called swordsmen thought of, but its power was enough to be misunderstood.
Not only did it have no sound or form, but its power was also greater than that of the thing he had shot.
Parts and pieces!
As if to prove it, the third arrow he shot with his teeth clenched collided with the wind chime.
At that moment, the arrow he had shot shattered into pieces.
Even after piercing the arrow with strong energy, Pungryungsi thrust his body towards the bastard without any slowdown.
“Khuh!?!”
Kwaang!!
The guy who saw the sight with a shocked expression instinctively raised his bow to protect himself.
As if he had pushed all his energy into it, the bastard’s iron bow began to shake violently as if it were going to break, but soon it hit the wind chime and was engulfed in even greater vibrations.
“It’s pretty good.”
“… … !”
Wheeze-
Kuung!
That was the end of it.
Perhaps because he didn’t use his full strength, the bastard’s iron bow succeeded in blocking the wind chime, but the guy who received the enormous impact lost consciousness and was sent flying and crashing down.
Blood was streaming from the corner of his mouth, suggesting that his internal injuries were not minor, but unfortunately, there was no one to worry about him.
Because the subordinates had already lost consciousness and were all lying down.
Brain spirits were busy shooting lightning at the guys that Cheonhwa had injured and prevented from escaping, and most of the Blood Archers had already lost consciousness and passed out.
Perhaps it was fortunate that he did not show himself to his subordinates, but it was questionable whether it was truly fortunate that he was caught by Cheonhwa.
“Let’s see. The rest of them… … there aren’t many.”
Cheonhwa, who confirmed it, figured out the movements of the remaining Blood Palace members.
Although there weren’t any around him, there seemed to be a few guys still targeting the carriage.
Since they were guys who could freely shoot arrows with sword-level energy, it was understandable to worry about the carriage, but Cheonhwa was relaxed.
It couldn’t be otherwise, because Bukgungyeon was there.
Even if he is only half-baked, a top-notch expert is not something to be taken lightly.
Also, she has special aerodynamics, so even if it’s not possible to kill the guys while guarding the carriage, she should be able to protect the group and hold out.
“Brain, go and clean up the rest of them!”
“Kiyut!”
In that case, there was no need for me to step forward and clean up the remaining scraps.
I simply gave instructions to the brain spirit, watched him run away while emitting light, and then walked like a bum toward the one who was presumed to be the leader of the Blood Palace.
Killing him would be easy, but there was something he needed to find out. It wouldn’t be too late to dispose of him after seeing if he cooperated and making sure there was nothing left to tear apart.
‘I won’t be able to act like a guest just because I wake up. If I keep my mouth shut until the end… … I guess there’s nothing I can do.’
He might run wild again after waking up, but it would be good to suppress his blood vessels, and even if he didn’t, his internal injuries were already so severe that he wouldn’t be able to escape from Bukgungyeon, let alone himself.
So I carried the guy on my shoulder and headed leisurely towards the carriage.
I’ll have to collect the other guys who passed out from the brain storm, but I guess I can leave that annoying job to others.
“It’s done so splendidly.”
When we returned to the carriage, a rather impressive sight unfolded before us.
There is a fairly large ice wall surrounding the carriage.
It is a power that was clearly created by Bukgungyeon.
Because it was a mass of typified energy.
Since it was a power that could be called a kind of shield, it was obvious that even their arrows would not be able to penetrate it.
There was a problem that he only focused on defense by surrounding himself with energy, and there was a limit to counterattacking the opponent, but it seemed like he had never even thought about that from the beginning.
Perhaps that’s why Cheonhwa said he would step forward himself.
As if living up to that belief, the brain spirit was running wild instead.
Now that he’s gotten quite used to handling lightning, he explodes the power of lightning only on the tips of his feet to gain momentum, shoots lightning in the desired shape and direction, and at the moment of attack, he pulls out his lightning claws like swords and cooks up the Blood Archer members.
Woof- Woof-
It wasn’t an ordinary sight, as even Cheonhwa, who was watching the scene, had dark creatures following him as if they were alive.
“I’m looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of guys are after me.”
But that’s over now.
Because the last remaining member of the Blood Palace was already falling to the brain spirit.
Well then, now is the time for questioning.
***
“Please take us away!!!”
“Huh?”
It didn’t take long to gather together the fallen or dead Blood Archers and forcibly wake them up.
Because Biyeon swept them together with her brute strength that did not match her nimble movements.
It’s a woman’s body, and her strength itself isn’t that great, but it’s easy if you use your internal energy.
After that, Cheonhwa simply made a noise to wake up the men and planned to deal with them one by one and interrogate them, but surprisingly, the man who was presumed to be the leader of the Blood Palace woke up and buried his head in the ground as soon as he saw Cheonhwa.
And then he kept saying strange things.
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
He asks that he be accepted as a disciple.
Perhaps he was impressed by the wind chime he had seen, but naturally, Cheonhwa had no intention of accepting it or telling him anything.
The Fengling Potion was only one of Cheon Eum Shingong’s talents, and the archery itself wasn’t all that great.
Of course, when it comes to archery, that guy is better than me.
Since he had nothing to teach and he couldn’t teach the Heavenly Sound Art, it wasn’t strange for him to just hold up the Ice Spirit Medicine and tap the back of the guy’s head with an indifferent expression.
“I have absolutely no other intentions. The intangible world is the dream of every archer! If you can give me even a little bit of teaching, I will treat you as my lifelong benefactor!!”
“Please take us away!!!”
But the guy didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down.
Just as all inspectors dream of the martial arts called the Formless Sword or the Mind Sword and would sacrifice everything to achieve it, those who handle the palace were in the same position.
At first, only the Blood Palace Master bowed his head, but when he heard the word “Muhyeongsi,” it was natural for the rest of them to bow their heads and bow.
“That’s not an intangible thing… … No, is that right? Anyway, it’s not the kind of thing I can tell you, so don’t be ridiculous. And do you think you’re in a position to ask me right now?”
But of course, Cheonhwa had no reason to care about their circumstances.
Aren’t they the ones who attacked and threatened my life just a moment ago?
That may be true, but it wouldn’t be strange at all if it was just a trick to survive, and above all, he had no intention of doing so.
Although Pungnyeongsi also takes the form of an intangible poem, it is also something that can move the heart to teach the secrets of similar skills or techniques.
“That, that is… … .”
“So shut up and tell me who ordered you to do this. Of course, I don’t think you’ll answer meekly… … .”
“I don’t know.”
“Yeah. I knew it… … .”
“That’s not it. I really don’t know. Before accepting a request, we usually check the other person’s identity and if that doesn’t work out, we don’t accept the request. However, no matter how much I investigated, I couldn’t get any information about them.”
Because of that, I secretly pressured them with a murderous intent, but contrary to my expectation that they would not answer, the guy revealed everything he knew as if he had been waiting.
“Of course, we were able to gather information about their physique, stride, breathing, the direction in which they appeared and disappeared, and the places they stayed, but it was difficult to infer their group affiliation or martial arts skills based on that alone.”
“But you received the request, right?”
“That, that… … The reward was too great to refuse… … .”
“What was it?”
They poured out the reason why they wanted to know the identity of those guys but were unable to, and why they had no choice but to break their principles and accept the request.
“It’s a great transformation.”
“What!?”
“You call this the Great Transformation?!”
However, the compensation was shocking.
The Great Ring? Isn’t that a treasure that even Shaolin is said to have only a few of?
With just one pill, you can gain the internal energy of a whole generation, so it was something that could instantly draw out at least a top-level master, so its value was indescribable.
That is only when the martial arts of someone who can absorb the Great Transformation are raised, but if someone who has already reached the highest level takes that power, it would be a power that can surpass the peak and even break down or challenge the wall of the Hwagyeong.
Because of this, everyone who was listening nearby was shocked.
Not only was the value valuable, but the fact that the Daehwandan was actually paid also meant that Shaolin was involved in this matter.
Because there is no way that the Great Hwandan would go anywhere other than Shaolin.
“Hand it over. You’re not going to say that you’re going to accept postpaid payment or that you’ve already eaten, are you? If so, twist your body and squeeze out the blood… … .”
However, instead of being shocked, Cheonhwa suddenly extended her hand.
It was only natural that madness flashed through his eyes for a moment, since he had not even been able to measure how valuable it would be if it were a great transformation.
“No. I have already received it! And of course I will give it to you. I was not ready to absorb the Great Hwandan, so I did not take it yet, but it seems that I did it for today’s fate. Whether it is the Great Hwandan, the Blood Palace Sect, or anything else, I will offer it all to you, so please take us in!”
Surprisingly, the Blood Palace Master didn’t show even the slightest hint of regret for the Great Hwandan.
That must mean that he has a strong desire to see the end of archery in terms of formless poetry.
‘Hmm, what should I do… … .’
Eventually, we came back to square one, and the furrow between Cheonhwa’s eyebrows deepened.
It was expected that they would not open their mouths or would say that they did not know the client’s information, but I could not have guessed this situation.
My temperament was such that I just wanted to steal the Daehwandan and kick his butt and drive him away, or make him never use his martial arts again, but the fact that he came out like that meant that there was a high chance that the Daehwandan would no longer be here.
Cheonhwa hesitated for a moment because it meant that he had to be somewhat appeased in order to receive the Great Transformation.
And then, I made a decision.
“Okay. I’ll accept it.”
“Excuse me, is this true?”
“Yes. It’s too grand to call him a disciple, so let’s just call him a Musabu. Anyway, all I have to do is make him able to write the formless poem, right?”
It’s not like I’m going to form a master-student relationship with him, but I’m just going to play the role of a master-student, like I did with Margin.
Of course, it would be great if we could receive the Great Transformation before that.
When I think about it that way, their demands weren’t that unacceptable.
Anyway, wouldn’t it be okay if we could use intangible poetry or something close to it?
It’s nothing, just do it.
The process will never be easy or ordinary, though.
“Let’s try it somewhere.”
“Thank you, Daehyeop!!”
Cheonhwa’s evil smile spread across the men who were once again bowing their heads in gratitude.
