Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel - Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel chapter 86

Chapter 86 – Even though it is rotten, the Murim Lord (02)

The spirit emanating from the Murim Lord’s body surrounds my body.

Before, I felt like I was out of breath and my nerves were being dissected alive by his presence, but now it was replaced by a tingling sensation, like a needle being stuck in my skin, perhaps because I had reached a similar level.

I couldn’t exude a majestic force like the Murim Lord.

Geomseong, who is one step higher than the Murim Lord, actually has the ability to blend in with nature and permeate anywhere, and it is difficult to notice unless he deliberately reveals his presence, so I guess the direction is different.

An energy that can only be exuded by a ruler, not a warrior who reveres and practices martial arts.

It can be seen as a skill that is not simply about survival or anger, but can be said to be majestic in some way.

‘That’s why… We can win’

He is strong.

Now that Cheonma has been poisoned and Geomseong has been slaughtered by Heo Wol, the head of the Black Moon Party, the person closest to the Supreme in the Murim would be the Murim Lord.

In fact, in the world, it is judged that there are less than 10 masters at the highest level, so they are not divided into levels. In general, they group them into the level of the highest level, saying that they have surpassed the highest level of masters. However, under normal circumstances, each level should be divided at the highest level. This is how to do it.

There is an overwhelming difference between Ban Gyu-seong, who just reached the pinnacle of perfection, and the martial arts and swordsman, who trained with his body and mastered it with little intention, or the leader of the Black Moon Party.

But here, since everything above that is grouped together as a transcendent climax, it is just considered that way.

If you put it that way, this person cannot be compared to those I have seen.

Eon Sam-sik, a swordsman who exudes an infinitely gentle flow of energy and is respected by a thousand swords, and Blackwoldangju, who uses an unblockable blow by parrying and cutting down all the waves of those swords.

Compared to these two, it is still not enough.

Furthermore, his psychology was focused on power and he specialized in dominating others. On the positive side, he was a natural commander, but on the negative side, even though his level was high, his combat power did not match that level.

Even so, the person who is currently closest to the Supreme Lord of the Murim can be considered a Cheonwon Sangjon, excluding the First Head of the Black Moon Party, whose identity is hidden.

“……”

While the host Choza was speechless and unable to declare the battle due to being overwhelmed by the spirit of the Murim lord, the Murim lord pulled out his sword and disarmed his spirit.

“The Great Battle begins. The main seat is Jin Cheon-ho, the Murim Lord Cheonwonsangjon. I will accept the challenge.”

Suppressing his pounding heart, mixed with anger, lust for battle, and feeble joy at fighting the strong, I shouted against him.

“Yeon Cheong-ha, the Jade Dragon God Sword belonging to Cheongsim Glass Moon. I challenge the Murim Lord!”

The Murim Lord is not a swordsman.

To be precise, since the sword occupies an overwhelming position in Jeongpa martial arts, he only uses the sword, but it would be correct to say that he is a master of all martial arts, including the spear, the sword, the sword, the sword, the jang, the bow, the pyeong, and the sword.

Although the swordsmanship of the swordsman was mainly performed with the Igieo sword, it could not be copied, but the moment the Murim lord raised his sword, the audience, who appeared to be from the Shaman faction, let out an exclamation.

“Five Elements and Nine Palace Swords!”

It was not strange for the Murim Lord to use the martial arts of the Shaman faction and the Nine factions.

Basically, after the Murim Guardian League was created, each person’s representative martial arts were shared to some extent.

Thanks to this, martial artists who were not able to enter each district group, let alone internal affairs students, entered the Murim Alliance and learned from the representative instructors of each clan who taught martial arts like taxes.

However, it was surprising that the level started from the Five Elements and Nine Gung Swords, the original sword method, rather than the Taegeuk Sword Method, the basic sword method of the Shaman faction.

‘I don’t know much about shaman martial arts’

But I am not afraid. First of all, martial arts is a disgrace.

Broadly speaking, it is divided into three categories.

It’s like rock, paper, scissors.

A crushing fist, a crushing sword.

The art of cutting down, the true sword.

The gentle wind that envelops you, Yugeom (柔劍).

There are classifications such as quick swords and fantastic swords, but the basic logic, such as whether to strike quickly and strongly, to cut quickly and sharply, or to play quickly and gently to play with the opponent, is created by mixing those three with other variables.

“Ah! Isn’t that Chosik a golden and quick sword that can only be used if one has mastered the Five Elements and Nine Palace Swords beyond training level?”

My daughter is the type that has not learned martial arts at all, and she herself has learned martial arts that was shared in all the old file rooms?

In that respect, the Five Element Sword, containing the five elements of nature, is wielded with the energy of gold. The Shaman’s Five Element Nine Gung Sword, which was created by mixing the complex variations of the Nine Gung Sword, was quite a mysterious and great sword, but after analyzing it one by one to understand it, it was not. It wasn’t a difficult opponent.

Furthermore, although the Murim Lord used a sword, he was not a full-fledged swordsman, so in a state where he hid his power like now, I was at a level where I could deal with him using martial arts, which could be considered an auxiliary martial arts skill.

‘It would be possible without pulling out the sword.’

Like the Okrangcheongeom, most swords were herbivorous using the centrifugal force of the sword, so even if they could be replaced with other long weapons, they could not be used as enemy swords.

It would have been better if I swung it with the sword sheathed, but I couldn’t use the Okrangcheon Sword, and the fighting method I currently use was Cheongsimyuri Kwon, a fighting method for self-defense.

‘Cheongsim Rapid Hit’

Two!

By hitting the face of the sword with your fist, you change the trajectory and immediately move your body to the distance between the swords, not the distance between the swords.

For a moment, the Murim Lord pondered whether to retrieve his sword and swing it or use another method, but then he transformed his hand into a hawk and attempted to claw at my chest.

“Eungjosu!”

He was a martial artist from Shaolin Temple. There are many similar scratching martial arts, but seeing the Shaolin-born host who had forgotten what to say just moments ago exclaim, it seemed to be a genuine Shaolin martial arts technique.

‘Are you planning to show off all of the martial arts skills of the Old File Ilbang?’

Unlike just a moment ago when they were gritting their teeth and talking about killing each other, the Murim Lords were not concentrating on fighting but were distracted.

At this point, the Murim leader was thinking of getting rid of all the controversy surrounding him once and for all by achieving a complete victory.

‘So, as if you are deliberately trying to show off, you are using the Shaolin Temple’s Five Elements and Nine Gesture Sword Techniques and the Shaolin Temple’s Eungjosu?’

If we talk about the biggest force among the political factions, it is the old faction, but even among the old factions, there is a degree of difference.

Just as transcendental masters are not all at the same level, within the nine factions, there are organizations that have large numbers but cannot be expected to use force, such as the open faction. Among them, the top three factions that have the most voice and power are Shaolin, Shaolin, and Hwasan.

In fact, the audience of the Hwasan faction were looking forward to seeing when Hwasan’s sword techniques would be used, and even those who had been displeased with sharing their martial arts skills with the Murim Alliance were excited by the martial arts skills of their own faction being displayed in front of their eyes by the Murim leader.

‘This is a level we can deal with’

The Murim Lord was putting on a show using martial arts that he was not familiar with, at a level where I could match him perfectly using the Cheongshim Glass Fist.

And I had no intention of becoming involved in this unpleasant show.

Fuuu!

He struck the air and forced a wave attack, doing the same thing Mubong did earlier.

As I watched the Murim Lord step back and try to use the Plum Blossom Sword of the Hwasan Sect this time, I grabbed the handle of the sword when I saw that my body was stopped by the unfamiliar martial arts.

Finch!

The Murim Lord’s body shrank and he instinctively started to do something, aiming at me with his left finger instead of the hand holding the sword.

‘Did you feel a sense of crisis?’

It’s not time to use Myeongwol yet, so I just checked the seasoning. Should I cut it? The Murim Lord was at the level of maintaining a vague awareness of it, even if he was not at the level of openly displaying his mind and sword.

However, I was killing my skills because I was so preoccupied with other things, not martial arts, that I couldn’t use the sword in my heart… Or the desire and source for the different forms of nothingness for each person.

‘If there is a bright moon, you can do it’

If I pull out Myeongwol here and now, I win.

‘But if you think about it backwards, you can’t win if you don’t use Myeongwol.’

The sword that splits the black moon has not been completed yet.

At that time, he was in a trance and manifested his mind and sword, but after that, even if he tried to recreate it over time, it could not be made the same way.

It’s just that the treasured sword changed in response to my mind sword, and at the moment, I couldn’t use the perfect mind sword.

A miraculous achievement that was literally created by coincidence, luck, and my concentration.

‘If you can’t reproduce it… You will be murdered.’

To use the heart sword, you must fully concentrate on cutting.

If I were to repeat it just one more time, I would be able to get a feel for it, but even though I meditated and overworked my body during the journey, I only felt like my body was weak and the feeling didn’t come close to being tangible like before.

If things continue like this, I think I will succeed once and be forgotten due to luck, so I hastened the decisive battle with the Murim Lord as much as possible.

‘Now is the time’

The moment he started using the Plum Blossom Sword technique again and was putting pressure on me, I clearly saw a gap.

The moment I thought, ‘I can cut’ at this rate, my hand was already on the scabbard.

The moment when you decide to grab the handle of the treasured sword and pull it out.

Empty!

The sword’s extraction was blocked as if a lock had been placed on it.

‘Not done yet?’

If you try to use Myeongwol, the sword gets blocked. So, I deliberately suppressed the keen sense and calmed down my mind as much as possible to cut, emptied my consciousness with the mind of Myeonggyeongjisui, and drew my sword.

Sreung!

A treasured sword appears, no different from before, but seemingly made of quartz.

“No, that sword…?”

“The Sword Saint’s treasured sword must have been a sword made of special green jade, right?”

“hehehehe… Isn’t it the inheritance of the Sword Saint’s sword?’

“Gyukrang Celestial Strike!”

The momentum has changed.

From the beginning, instead of using a basic technique such as the Okcheon Cold Sword, I forcibly increased my internal strength and used the Eleven Herb Style Jade Rang Celestial Strike to pierce the soft plum sword technique that seemed to ooze the scent of plum blossoms, and tried to blow off the Murim Lord’s head.

I didn’t use Myeongwol, so I wasn’t at full strength, but the Murim Lord was also caught off guard, and since I couldn’t manifest my sword, his intuition was also off guard, so I couldn’t match the Jade Rang Celestial Strike.

Wow!

When the Murim Lord’s famous sword broke and a jade storm was about to pierce his uvula, my intuition began to send warning signals.

‘Avoid…?’

The Murim Lord’s left index finger was aiming at my head, as if he was aiming a gun.

‘This… Avoid!’

Must be avoided. As I followed my intuition and tilted my head, the trajectory of the Jade Rang Celestial Strike dispersed, but at that moment, as I changed my posture, the sword blocked the Murim Lord’s finger from changing its aim following my head.

“Tch.”

With the sound of clicking one’s tongue, blue light erupted from the Murim Lord’s fingers.

Jjiiiiing-!!
