Episode 445: The Jade Flower Divine Art is invincible.
Saekma, who was walking around with his back in the room, listened to a sound coming from somewhere, then sat cross-legged on his bed and concentrated on the sound.
After listening for a while, Saekma realized that it was a competition between two people who participated in a martial arts battle.
They must be fighting with wooden swords, so why does that sound sound like that? Every time someone stamped their feet, the small decoration next to the bed trembled slightly.
It may not be the masters that he faced.
It was a fight that would not be strange even if the candidates for the championship faced each other.
The wooden sword broke with a thud, and the fight resumed, causing the floor to tremble slightly.
‘Who is it?’
Saekma thought that they were much higher level experts than Baek Ri-han and Kang Mok-cheon, whom he had defeated.
It’s not that strange.
It is a non-military battle where the name and color determine the Murim lord.
The demon focused on the sound of the fight and then looked at the entrance. After a while, Jang San’s voice was heard.
“Prince Mong, this is Jangsan. may I come in?”
“Please come in.”
“yes.”
As soon as Saekma saw Jangsan, he put his fingers in his ears. At the signal that he was listening intently, Jangsan nodded and waited with his hands clasped together.
Saekma listened to the sound of rubbing together with Jangsan and asked quietly.
“Do you mind if I know who is fighting?”
Jang San answered.
“This is Kunlun Sword Saint and Ildaju senior.”
“Could it be that old ship?”
“no. “He is the heir, and it seems he has even inherited a special title.”
The fight went on for so long that I really didn’t know when it would end.
The color demon said.
“Can we consider this the final?”
“well. If the first major lord is defeated, the next lord will be someone invited from outside. “I am the last among the participants within the group.”
“What about the general military?”
“Yesterday, I was defeated by Kunlun Sword Saint. “I don’t know how you fought because I only knew the outcome.”
“Does it feel much different for someone on the outside to become the leader and someone on the inside to become the leader?”
Jang San answered.
“Can I be honest with you? “It’s quite different.”
“Which part is that?”
“First of all, I don’t know who he is. You are strong in martial arts. Other than this I know nothing. However, as Lord Lim thinks, it seems that the position of Lord Lim must be held by a stronger person. I don’t know about other positions, but the leader position definitely has to be like that. So we will accept it whether you are from outside or not.”
The demon crossed his arms and smiled slightly.
“Then, there must be some members of the Murim Alliance who thought it would be good if Hao Wenju came to the alliance’s main battle this time.”
Jang San also laughed.
“How did you know? That’s right.”
“Are you disappointed?”
“Not really. “For some reason, it seems like you didn’t come even if you were invited.”
The devil stopped talking for a moment. It seemed like the meeting ended while they were talking.
“Who won?”
Jang San asked this.
“Shall I go and see it? In any case, there is a high possibility that he will be Confucius Mong’s next opponent. “I’m also curious.”
“I’m curious, so let me know.”
“yes.”
Saekma looked at Jangsan’s back and changed his mind.
“Jang Mu-in.”
“yes.”
“Don’t tell me. It’s not fair. If everything goes according to plan, the next meal will be fine, right?”
“Maybe so.”
“Then come back when you need to dance. “I’ll skip dinner and see you then.”
Jang San looked at the sexy demon blankly and then nodded.
“All right.”
As Jangsan closed the door, Saekma also closed his eyes.
Whether we win or lose, tomorrow will be the last fight in the Murim Alliance. I never had any grand ambitions to become a leader, but I hated losing in battle more than anything.
I don’t even remember when it started.
I just hated losing.
Looking back, the mindset of not wanting to lose erased my fear of the religious leader. This is because the fear of death was not greater than the wound to pride caused by defeat. From fighting in the alley to fighting in the river, everything passed by like a flash of light. The presence of the religious leader, who had stayed like a mountain in my memory, was still as strong as a mountain.
I erased my thoughts one by one.
Okhwa Divine Technique’s fortune-telling ceremony began.
Thanks to my long training, I now have a natural flow of energy, like breathing, so the flow of thoughts is uninterrupted. When I felt that something had happened and I didn’t know if it was because my heart wanted it or because my dreams were mixed up.
The horse stepped on a snowy field where everything around him was white.
It was also a place I visited several times while in a trance. Every time I stepped on the snow, I heard a familiar sound. Usually, whenever I had a dream like this, I would wake up at dawn suffering from extreme cold, but today it wasn’t as cold as before.
It wasn’t cold though.
Like before, I couldn’t tell where to go or where the snowy field ended.
Will there be no rivals if Yuhua Binggong succeeds?
It is impossible to know. This is because it was something the devil made up to reassure Yoran. However, if you don’t trust anyone, you have to believe first…
When you are walking for a long time in a snowy field with no exit.
Someone held the demon’s hand and they walked together.
It wasn’t cold because my hands were warm.
I couldn’t see the exit or destination, but I felt lucky that it wasn’t cold.
We walked together for quite some time and broke through the snowy field.
When the surroundings became warm enough for the crunching of footsteps to subside, Saekma held the hand he was holding tightly once and then let go.
I sat down in a place where the snow had melted and continued to have a lucky breakfast.
Like snow piled up in layers, the clouds fell and fell repeatedly all night long. Hard and cold. The inner energy was condensed so that it was cold and hard. Saekma, who had been concentrating on fortune telling for a while, looked around.
The snow that had piled up on the ground around me had melted, forming a large circle.
“….”
Then, I learned that the exit or destination of the snow field is not to go somewhere or find an entrance, but to melt the snow field.
So this was a new level.
When Saekma quietly opened his eyes in bed, one night had already passed and everything around him had become brighter.
I listened as if it were yesterday and then looked at the door that Jang San had closed. After a while, a familiar voice was heard from the door.
“Mong Lang.”
The devil answered.
“Yes, Lord Maeng.”
“let’s go.”
“All right.”
The color demon took the white dragon on the table and went outside.
Lim So-baek asked, looking the red horse up and down.
“According to Jangsan, I heard you didn’t eat dinner.”
“it’s okay.”
“What about breakfast?”
“I will skip it.”
“why?”
The color demon glared at Lim Sobaek.
“I often have diarrhea when I’m nervous.”
Lim Sobaek nodded.
“amazing. let’s go.”
“yes.”
I couldn’t figure out what was so great. As we walked together, I was so curious that I couldn’t help but ask.
“What is so great about you, Lord?”
“Wouldn’t that mean there was an internal injury in the intestines?”
“yes.”
“It would be great if a guy like that were participating in a leader’s unarmed battle.”
“okay. “How are you, Lord Maeng?”
“I take it once a day.”
“You’re wonderful.”
I wondered if that was really a wonderful thing, but Lim Sobaek just nodded. The color demon asked.
“Is there a reason why you came to pick me up yourself?”
“Yes.”
Saekma broke through the fierce battle with Lim So-baek. In his mind, he wondered if the people who fought yesterday had planned to lose both sides and they were both seriously injured. While I was worrying needlessly about whether I would become the leader like this, I arrived at the back garden behind the Maengjujeon Hall.
“This is…”
Lim So-baek looked at the red horse.
“It’s my training place.”
“yes.”
As soon as I answered, I realized that it was the final dance.
Did Lim So-baek bring him there himself because it was a place where entry was prohibited except for the leader?
Lim Sobaek said as he left again.
“Bring your partner too.”
“Are you moving yourself like this?”
“It’s not always like that. I’m the person who will be in charge of the team, so I have to do at least this much. “Be adaptable.”
Lim Sobaek moved as if the current leader was guarding the next leader. Saekma looked at Lim Sobaek’s busy back and then stayed alone to watch the patronage.
‘This is the leader’s training place.’
It wasn’t particularly special.
But there were many escorts to get here. Perhaps, if the leader was training, no one would have approached him. The demon muttered the same thing as he walked around the lord’s back garden.
I didn’t care who came.
According to the reputation, Kunlun Sword Saint would come, and if the reputation was just fame, the whole country would come. The sound of bimu heard last night was a fight that would not be surprising to anyone.
As I focused my mind before the fight, I felt better than ever. I felt alive for the first time in a long time.
Whether in the Murim Alliance or in Ilyanghyeon.
Saekma liked living in Gangho. Where can you feel this kind of excitement? Saekma kept muttering the same thing as he walked around the back garden where Lim Sobaek had been training for a long time.
Soon, I heard the footsteps of Sobaek Lim and the other person, so I stopped walking and waited.
The demon looked at the entrance and muttered.
“Jade Flower Divine Technique is invincible. Okhwa Magic is invincible. “If you master the Okhwa Divine Art, there will be no rival.”
At the entrance, Sobaek Lim and a member of the Murim League, whom he had seen for the first time, appeared. The members of the Murim Alliance had a similar atmosphere as if they were looking at Lim So-baek’s youngest brother, but he was younger than expected. At a small number, he is in his mid-thirties. At a large number, he is an unmanned person in his late thirties.
Before Lim So-baek introduced, the color horse first held the white dragon upside down and then showed courtesy.
“My junior is meeting the master of the whole country.”
The leader of the Murim Alliance responded in return.
“This is Shen Hui (沈輝), the lord of Confucius Meng. “I was lucky enough to come up, so please take care of me.”
“yes.”
After exchanging greetings, the two looked at Lim So-baek. Lim Sobaek looked at the two people and opened his mouth.
“This time, it’s a mix.”
“yes.”
“With all my might, without using a wooden sword. If it gets to a point where it’s too dangerous, I’ll intervene. “You two understand, right?”
“All right.”
Lin Xiaobai retreated almost to the entrance and stopped to look at the two people as if he could attack them at any moment.
“Start.”
Come to think of it, Lim So-baek was the only one who attended the dance.
Shim Hwi, the master of the whole world, looked at the color demon.
“Would you like to use a sword?”
The color demon looked at the white dragon and then at the long sword on Shen Hui’s waist.
“My lord.”
“Please speak.”
“I start like this. Once the High Lord draws his sword, we will consider the fight to have begun. And I would like to express my gratitude to the old woman.”
“I will listen.”
The demon said with a serious expression.
“I have mastered the invincible new technique, so do your best from the beginning.”
“hmm.”
Shen Hui, slightly embarrassed, looked at Lim Sobaek, and Lim Sobaek nodded and said.
“Daeju Sim, don’t let your guard down. “Full effort from the beginning.”
“All right.”
Shim Hwi and Saekma, the masters of Ildae, finished greeting each other and widened the distance between them. As Saekma predicted, the fight began from the moment Sim Hwi drew his sword. As Sim Hwi, who was catching his breath, casually pulled out his sword, the demon narrowed his eyes.
‘You should have attacked with your feet and sword.’
Lim So-baek frowned and then warned Shen Hwi.
“With all my might, Daeju Sim.”
“yes.”
If he said any more, he would be interfering in a secret matter, so Lin Xiaobai also kept quiet.
Shim Hwi spoke while lowering his long sword to the lower right.
“I’m ready.”
The mood of the demon who had not yet drawn his sword suddenly changed and he muttered with his brows narrowed.
“…Jade Flower Divine Technique is invincible. “Okhwa Divine Technique is invincible.”
Sim Hwi answered.
“What did you say?”
“The Okhwa Magic is said to be invincible.”
Shim Hwi looked at the slut muttering like a drunk person and then smiled slightly.
“after.”
At that moment, the color magic rushed like a gale. It was as close to the full speed as the horse could achieve. He seemed to have narrowed the distance almost in one breath and pulled out the white dragon with his foot.
With a swooshing sound, sword energy swirled around the blade as if white lightning was being pulled out. The white cold spreads towards Shim Hwi, the leader of the whole world. The experienced Il Daeju immediately gave his all, concentrating all his strength on the long sword and wrapping it around the sword.
This is a momentary fight.
The speed of the color demon that was charging in the first place has not decreased at all. Before the sword energy and sword energy collided, the divine form of the color demon soared into the air, spun around once, and unfolded a moonlight flash with its head toward the ground.
White cold air spread out like light in all directions from the color demon’s entire body.
Shim Hwi, the master of Idae, who easily destroyed the sword energy of the color demon with his sword sword, swung his long sword at the cold air pouring from the air, and then froze with his sword sticking out in the air.
The color demon that fell behind Sim Hwi, the master of the world, stretched out his right hand and hit Sim Hwi on the back with a jade ice ball.
Shim Hwi, who was as surprised as he was frozen, turned his head slightly and checked the demon’s arm. I was in a state of no feeling, but the fingertips of the demon were unusually cold.
“….”
Shen Hui looked at Lim Xiaobaek in a state of fascination. The area near the entrance where Lim So-baek was standing was covered in white cold air. Only the place where Lin Xiaobaek was standing was fine, and that was because Lin Xiaobaek had already struck away the cold with his foot.
While Shim Hwi, the head of the province, was unconscious, he heard Mongrang’s voice.
“Do you admit defeat?”
Shim Hwi, the Lord of the World, said as he forcefully lowered his sword that was reaching towards the sky.
“I lost.”
“I told you that Okhwabinggong was invincible, but you were too careful.”
It’s just as the devil said. If the competition had been a standard dance, the dance would not have ended so quickly. However, there is nothing standard in a powerhouse fight. Moreover, it was a defeat for which even excuses could not be accepted, as even leader Lim So-baek had predicted something and warned the lords of Ildae.
The color demon who appeared in front of Sim Hwi, who was still frozen, lowered his sword again and became polite.
“It was a meeting that could have been unfair to the senior. “Let’s compete again next time.”
Shim Hwi, the lord of the world, shook off the coldness by exploding a burst of energy from his entire body, then nodded.
“Let’s do that.”
The color demon looked at Lin Xiaobai.
“Lord?”
Lim Sobaek, who watched Bimu from beginning to end, nodded and spoke in a calm tone.
“It was a problem-free meeting.”
Only then did the demon take a deep breath, then raised his head and looked at the sky for a moment. The reason why Okhwabinggong is invincible is because his mother taught him.
When I looked around, everything had turned white, as if I was looking at the snowy field I had walked with my mother. Now, Saekma, who had reached a level deeper than when he was studying Hwasan, muttered as he looked around the snowy field.
“Jade Flower Magic is invincible.”
The only thing that was lacking was myself, who had not yet achieved greatness.
