Habuk Pengga Swordsman Genius - Chapter 356



Only Noblemtl

356. The fragrance of fire goes a long way (7)

He jumped up without hesitation, stepped on the first scabbard, and leaped.

Papak!

Then he stepped on the second scabbard and flew up.

That was when.

It was when Namgung Gaju was about to jump onto the fifth scabbard.

A flash of light appeared before my eyes.

It was as if I was looking straight at the sun, and then a deafening roar was heard.

Kkwang!

It wasn’t as bad as a blast from a thunderbolt, but the explosives exploded in the wall.

It was certain that explosives had been planted.

The wall burst open, sending up a cloud of dust like smoke.

Boulders broke off the wall and fell down like hail.

Thud thud.

At that moment, the wind blew coldly.

Whew.

As the wind blew away the dust, a view of the cliff side was revealed.

The middle part of the cliff was dug out in a circular shape like the entrance to a cave.

“With that level of explosive power, even the Namgung family head wouldn’t be safe.”

Zhuge Liangmin said with a worried voice.

At that sight, Hanbin pointed somewhere.

“I don’t think you have to worry so much. Look over there.”

It was a bamboo tree about twenty steps from the cliff.

Namgung Jangcheon standing with one foot on a tall bamboo tree.

He was gritting his teeth while looking at the cliff, and Zhuge Liangmin sighed upon seeing Namgung Jangcheon like that.

“Phew, that’s a relief.”

“I’m glad you’re safe, but you look a little out of shape.”

“Heh heh,”

Zhuge Liang simply laughed.

Namgung Jangcheon looked a little bit shabby. Like a burnt rat revealing its naked body without fur, his clothes were burnt here and there, revealing Yeonju Hwang’s body.

While Zhuge Liangmin was licking his lips, Han Bin nodded quietly.

It was because I thought that Namgung Jangcheon was not a man who only talked.

What Hanbin noticed was not the bare upper body, but his skin.

It’s true that his uniform was a bit ugly with holes all over it, but his skin was fine.

It means that it was perfectly protected with a self-defense weapon.

Self-defense begins with controlling space. Start with your body and gradually increase the range.

All masters of Hwagyeong go through this process to expand the scope of their self-defense skills.

Well, the most important thing was the quality of the inner strength rather than the scope.

In Hanbin’s view, Namgung Jangcheon was showing the best density.

As a result, not a single hair on the body is damaged.

It was indeed a spectacle, but in some ways it was an amazing sight.

I thought that with that level of incompetence, I could aim for the position of the next leader of the Justice League.

When I glanced at Zhuge Liangmin, it seemed that he too was now surprised by Namgung Jangcheon’s self-defense technique.

Zhuge Liangmin was also surprised by the current situation.

It was only when people were faced with danger that their true colors were revealed.

Even Zhuge Liangmin was seeing Namgung Jangcheon’s true martial arts for the first time.

Well, Namgung Jangcheon’s fiery personality was a disadvantage when it came to handling things.

However, since his personality must have played a part in achieving that level, I don’t think it can be seen as a loss.

Zhuge Liang carefully watched for the right time to step forward.

Namgung Jangcheon came down from the bamboo without paying attention to everyone’s gaze and walked back among the ten masters.

Perhaps he didn’t know what he looked like.

As the masters of the teenage generation looked at him with wide eyes, Namgung Jangcheon examined his own body.

“hmm.”

He groaned when he saw his own appearance.

For a moment, he grabbed his own torn uniform.

Boohoo.

When his uniform was removed, his intact upper body was revealed.

As expected of a warrior who had survived in the martial arts world for countless years, his body was covered in scars.

Namgung Jangcheon looked up nonchalantly.

It seemed like he was thinking of climbing the cliff again.

That was when.

Arrows rain down from the cliff.

Phishung! Phishung!

The arrows rained down on them without rest.

But it wasn’t even the slightest threat to the masters of the teenage generation.

Whoosh!

Two flying arrows were cut to pieces by a single swing of a sword from someone.

But the arrows kept pouring down.

As if trying to keep them in check.

When Zhuge Liangmin saw that sight, he raised his head from his seat.

Now is the time to stop.

The reason he was firing arrows like that was clearly because he thought it was for the next attack.

The attacks up until now have been using lightning and wall bombs.

Are you trying to buy time like this to prepare for some grand attack?

Now that we had retreated from here, we had to make plans for the next step.

Zhuge Liang turned his head slightly.

It was to ask Hanbin’s opinion, who seemed to know all of this in advance.

“Now is the time to stop… … .”

Zhuge Liangmin could not forget the words.

That’s because Hanbin, who was sitting next to me and watching the fight, is gone.

The voice of Peng Daiwei came to the ears of the bewildered Zhuge Liangmin.

“Since he went over there, let’s just watch.”

“Over there… … .”

Zhuge Liang looked at the direction that Peng Daiwei was pointing to.

Hanbin was walking nonchalantly towards the place where the top 10 masters were.

Whoosh!

Hanbin’s appearance of walking nonchalantly while arrows rained down from the cliff did not fit in with the place.

Whoosh!

Arrows rained down again, but strangely, only Hanbin was able to avoid them.

What does that spare time mean?

Zhuge Liangmin simply could not understand.

He looked like a soldier who had been on the battlefield his entire life.

That appearance created a strange sense of incongruity.

It’s the only chrysanthemum in the place where the orchid is drawn.

Then Peng Dae-wi said.

“Let’s go see the good and eat some rice cakes.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’m just saying let’s watch what my nephew does and see the results. Meddling will only get in the way.”

“… … .”

Zhuge Liangmin quietly looked into Peng Daiwei’s eyes.

It’s not a lie, but it’s also true that it’s unsettling.

Where on earth does that belief come from?

I had faith in Peng Dae-wi because he was a person I had seen a few times.

It is possible to predict behavior.

However, Zhuge Liang could not predict Han Bin’s actions.

The problem, instead, was that Namgung Jangcheon’s actions were predictable.

What if a young, fresh-faced warrior were to stop Namgung Jangcheon?

To Zhuge Liang, the result was obvious.

There could be something more terrifying than being attacked by an enemy.

It was an internal strife.

When Zhuge Liang flinched, Peng Daiwei grabbed his sleeve.

“Take a sip of this and relax.”

Peng Dae-wi handed over a small bottle.

Zhuge Liangmin received a gourd without knowing it.

Judging from the faint scent coming from the mouth of the bottle, it was definitely a silk bottle.

“What kind of alcohol is this?”

“This is Baek A-ju.”

“Wow, this is a precious drink.”

Zhuge Liangmin took a sip of his alcohol and quietly looked at Han Bin.

I wonder how Hanbin will change Namgung Jangcheon’s mind.

Namgung Jangcheon slowly crouched down, trying to jump up on the shrinking arrow.

I thought now was the chance to annihilate the enemy.

That was when.

Someone gently grabbed his belt.

In an instant, the internal energy that had gathered in the soles of my feet was dispersed.

Namgung Jangcheon quickly turned his head.

There, a young man in red uniform was still holding onto his belt.

Namgung Jangcheon asked at that sight.

“What on earth are you doing?”

“Please wait a moment.”

“You… … .”

Hanbin hung up before Namgung Jangcheon could finish speaking.

“Do you think that Lord Namgung just needs to win this fight?”

Hanbin’s expression as he asked the question was more serious than ever.

The question itself was strange.

Thinking that victory in the fight was certain, he was asking what would happen next.

That moved Namgung Jangcheon’s heart.

For Namgung Jangcheon, winning the fight was the only thing that mattered.

But since the opponent spoke as if victory in the fight was certain, I became curious about what he would say next.

At that moment, an arrow flew into the back of Namgung Jangcheon’s head.

Phishing!

Namgung Jangcheon raised his left hand and lightly struck the arrow.

Bam.

Namgung Jangcheon, who had shot the arrow, asked.

“If winning isn’t important, then what is?”

“That’s the appearance of victory.”

“What does that mean?”

“If the ten greatest martial artists in the world were to win in this manner, would the people of Jianghu have anything good to say about it?”

Hanbin pointed to Namgung Jangcheon.

Namgung Jangcheon was speechless for a moment.

It was clear that the other person was talking about saving face.

Namgung Jangcheon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Hanbin without saying a word.

At that, Hanbin shrugged his shoulders and said.

“How about starting by organizing your uniform?”

“her.”

Namgung Jangcheon looked at Hanbin with a bewildered expression.

How do you get your uniform fixed here?

It was impossible to return to one’s quarters during a fight.

Then Hanbin continued speaking.

“I have extra uniforms.”

“Extra uniforms?”

When Namgung Jangcheon tilted his head, Hanbin silently snapped his fingers.

Exactly!

Suddenly a white wind blew.

There is no way the wind has color, but that is all I can say now.

The identity of the wind was a snow flower flying in, fluttering its white uniform.

Seolhwa bowed her head slightly in front of Hanbin.

“Here you are, Confucius.”

“Yes, thank you for your hard work, Seolhwa.”

“Hehehe, what trouble did you have to bring just one bundle? Your Majesty.”

Seolhwa smiled brightly.

At that sight, Namgung Jangcheon forgot about the fight for a moment and looked at the bundle.

Hanbin unpacked his bundle without paying attention to the gaze.

At that moment, Namgung Jangcheon’s eyes widened.

The bundle contained several sets of military uniforms.

Hanbin, who was tossing and turning his uniform, said with a serious expression.

“Hmm, this is tricky.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“There are clothes that would fit Lord Namgung… … . Ah, here they are.”

Hanbin took out a blue uniform and handed it to Namgung Jangcheon.

Namgung Jangcheon, who had received the uniform without realizing it, asked.

“What do you want me to do with this?”

“First, put on your clothes. It is a military courtesy for a general who is occupying an enemy’s camp to wear proper clothing. Isn’t it similar in martial arts? First, put on your clothes.”

At those words, Namgung Jangcheon quietly nodded and put on his coat.

After putting on all his clothes, Namgung Jangcheon asked.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Hmm, that’s a bit much to say in my name… … .”

“What does that mean?”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, Hanbin quietly looked at Seolhwa.

Then he gave Seolhwa a small wink.

Seolhwa, who had received the signal, nonchalantly interrupted their conversation.

“Our lord is called Jinryongsohyeop.”

Seolhwa pointed at Hanbin with her hand.

At those words, Hanbin nodded his head as if satisfied.

“How can I reveal my nickname myself?”

“It’s the True Dragon Association… … .”

Namgung Jangcheon chewed over the name. No matter how much he thought about it, it was a name he had never heard before.

At that moment, Namgung Jangcheon remembered something and looked at Hanbin.

“If you think about it, isn’t it the same whether you reveal your nickname through a maid or reveal it yourself?”

Namgung Jangcheon has now forgotten about fighting.

I was just curious about the identity of the person in front of me.

Zhuge Liangmin, who was watching the scene from a distance, clicked his tongue.

Because his skill in handling Namgung Jangcheon exceeded his expectations.

Zhuge Liangmin was surprised not by his martial arts skills or his wisdom, but by his pure words.

For a moment, Zhuge Liangmin tilted his head.

Because I couldn’t figure out what Hanbin’s intentions were.

It was a great feat to stall for time without conflict.

But that was it.

What on earth are you doing wasting time?

Zhuge Liang’s eyes narrowed even further.
