Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 35 – Are these the only Five Dragons and Chilbongs (02)

Shake it off.

When the dragon that was talking excitedly suddenly fell down and the sword that struck its head returned to my hand, people’s eyes focused on me.

While the people were hesitating to see me suddenly ambushing a disciple of the Kunlun Sect and taking out my sword, Shik-bong looked troubled and tried to move away from me, but I was holding him by the back of his neck, so he couldn’t run away and ended up staring at me as well.

“hahahahaha… Won’t this be troublesome, bro?”

I said, dragging the food baton and lifting the pill bag held by the fallen Jeonryong.

“I was scammed by this guy last time.”

“If you became this strong after eating that, it wouldn’t be a scam…”

“He ate it.”

When I pointed to the food stick neatly held in my hand, people were acknowledging, ‘Well, you’re so plump that you even steal other people’s pills.’

“Ah~ Is that so?”

“Well, what could happen if you just take one pill?”

“If it’s such a good pill, you can take it yourself and become the best in the world. Why give it to someone else?”

People were also watching as the martial artist showed a power show in front of them, but not many people naively believed in the product, so most of them just assumed it was something like that and passed over it. Even the idiots who tried to take Eun-ja out of her arms, Jeon-ryong collapsed and I roughly grabbed the bag of pills. I took it in my arms and glared at it fiercely, but it got scared and walked away.

I let go of the food baton that was dangling in my hand, grabbed the hem of Jeonryong’s clothes as he fell to the ground, and dragged him to the outskirts of the village.

“I know you’ve come to your senses. Wake up.”

“Keuung… Yeongcha!”

As soon as there were fewer people, I looked at Jeonryong, who was standing upright and massaging the bridge of his nose. He had been hit by a handle I had thrown earlier, but he seemed to have absorbed the blow by deploying his self-defense skills in that short moment.

“Ugh… This is too much… I’m still getting goosebumps.”

“What’s too much is your fraudulent behavior. Is this a Taoist from the Kunlun Sect defrauding people?”

“The Kunlun faction doesn’t eat to survive, right? The Kunlun faction also has to eat and survive until they become immortals, but to a certain extent… And they’re trying to survive on all these things, so please look at it like martial people… Ugh! Nosebleeds “You’re leaving?”

My nose was slightly crooked after being hit by the handle, and no matter how much I tried to block it with self-defense, I guess I couldn’t completely eliminate the shock.

Even at this level, he was an expert who could take on 20 people in a coordinated attack with the skills of a sikbong.

“I had a premonition that it was time for someone to come to me. I did a fortune telling and it said ‘something big is coming’. I was worried because I didn’t know if it was an assassin from the cultists who are running rampant these days or if it was a big fate, but luckily it looks like a big fate. .”

“I don’t think it’s that big.”

“hehehehe… That’s something you don’t know.”

The guy who was smiling meaningfully didn’t complain anymore and showed courtesy by grabbing me.

While I was taken aback by the sudden change from a weak-armed conman to the polite Jeonryong of the Five Dragons and Seven Peaks, Jeonryong Cheongsang began to introduce himself with an extremely serious expression.

“It’s called Cheongsang. In Kunlun, it’s useless to call it a golden master.”

“Yeoncheongha.”

“Are you a practitioner?”

It looks like he’s trying to recall some information by thinking of my name, but unfortunately, there won’t be any information about me in the Murim Alliance or the open source.

The only thing known is that he is a disciple of Cheongsim Yurimun, a group of three people.

“Although his eyes are viciously distorted, I can see his kind heart.”

“……”

I never once thought that I had a good heart.

“I can believe it.”

“Are you judging such things based solely on physiognomy?”

“Even if it looks like this, it’s because it’s a Taoist.”

I don’t know since when a Taoist monk started acting as a medicine seller…

“By the way, can you return the world’s best Kunlun Pill?”

Although I was thinking about committing fraud again, I had no intention of taking someone else’s belongings, so I handed over the pills I had kept in my pocket.

“Let’s see… They weren’t crushed. They are sensitive things that need to be followed in terms of usage and dosage, so I was worried that if they were crushed or overlapped, it would cause a big problem.”

“……Hmm…?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback when I saw the single pill that Jeonryong took out.

The hwandan in this guy’s hand, as Jeonryong said earlier, is an item with a great deal of hidden power that makes you an expert as soon as you eat it, and even if it’s not at this level, some sects will want to buy it with their eyes on fire. .

‘You’re selling something like this for a silver coin?’

“I tried to lure them in by spreading bait with this, but I guess there’s no need for it anymore. What kind of stupid fox would take the bait when there’s such a scary tiger guarding it?”

Seeing him grinning and wiping the blood flowing from his nose with his sleeve, I couldn’t figure out what kind of character this Jeonryong man was.

“I should at least use it as an emergency medicine.”

Even in the original novel, he was just described as dead, so I couldn’t figure it out.

“Did you know that the Black Moon Party was targeting you?”

“I couldn’t help but notice that they were chasing after me, openly trying to kill me. First, I dealt with one top expert, then two, then three… I wonder how many experts they have.”

After listening to Jeonryong’s story, I could clearly understand it.

If I hadn’t been there to protect Sikbong, even if he had overcome the crisis, he would have died from the attacks of the masters who came one after another.

“I thought there would be no end if things continued like this, so I deliberately started a rumor and tried to use Kunlun-hwan as bait to bring in everyone at once, but it turned out to be bigger than I thought.”

After confirming that his nosebleeds had stopped, Jeonryong put the bag containing the Kunlun pills in his arms and stood up, shaking off the dust from his body.

“But I dare to guess that next time, Soin will probably be defeated. I heard that they have countless peak masters, but if that’s the case, then Soin, who is only a top-notch expert, has no answer. hahahahaha!”

That’s what they say, but Jeonryong’s level was at the peak of a master’s level, and he was at a similar level to me two years ago, so he was at a level that I couldn’t say he would just go anywhere.

‘It may be inferior to the power of the Black Moon Party.’

“Now that I think about it, since the practitioner has just arrived, I would like to ask you something.”

“I will escort you until you arrive at the Yongbong Branch. However, I have no intention of accepting any special requests.”

“Then that’s a good thing. What I’m asking you to do is related to the Yongbong branch.”

When I looked at him curiously about what was being said, Jeonryong told me by phone to maintain confidentiality.

[We have to go find Saengbong Sojeo. Right Now]

* *

Saengbong Gyuwolhyang.

I tried to meet him slowly on the way to Murimmaeng, but Jeonryong said that work was urgent, so I had no choice but to run for now.

“Tongue, brother! Slow down a little!”

“I’m sorry, Sikbong Sojeo! But if we delay now, Yakgok will be in danger!”

“Yeah, but this is too fast… hehehehe!”

Although Sikbong had to cover his head to avoid the tree branches flying at his head, there was no way he could have run without paying attention to the head of Sikbong, who I was carrying on his back.

Even if you don’t have to swing your sword, you bend down slightly to avoid touching Sikbong, but you pass so narrowly that the tip of a tree branch touches your hair, so you’re scared for no reason.

“Just stay still. I will take care of avoiding you.”

“No matter who sees it, it’s flying in an orbit that will hit you in the face, bro!!”

That’s because you keep moving your body while avoiding it and your movements are misaligned.

“Kki-ing!”

Seol-ah, who was sandwiched between my body and Sik-bong’s body, was having a hard time, but Jeon-ryong was so close to me that I couldn’t stop the ball.

“It’s a matter where people’s lives are at stake, so please be patient, Kyo Sojeo.”

“Ugh…”

Currently, Jeonryong and I are riding on a mountain road heading to the Hubei region where Yakgok is located, which is not the original road. Rather than running without worrying about hurting people or getting caught in things, we just avoid all the trees on the mountain and run at a faster speed than a horse-drawn carriage. Was running to.

Of course, I could have run faster than this, but Sikbong’s body couldn’t hold up and I had to match the speed that Jeonryong could follow, so this was the best.

“There’s a long way to go until the Yongbong branch, so why go at this speed… And isn’t this the direction to the Murim Alliance, brother?!”

Now that I think about it, I haven’t explained it to Sikbong yet. First of all, he lifted Sikbong, who was wasting time against people, and ran with him as if kidnapping him.

“War Dragon.”

“Yes, since there is no one here, I will tell you again through proper training.”

Jeonryong summarized what he had told me and quickly informed Sikbong of the current situation.

“Sikbong Sojeo! Currently, Yakgok is occupied by Blackwoldang!”

“Originally, Yakgok is neutral and acts as if it will treat any patient, so the Black Moon Party does not carelessly mess with the members of Yakgok, but at first, some people said that it has an anesthetic effect and is helpful in recovering from injuries and fatigue. “I was teaching these lawmakers evil magic.”

Just like doctors, the doctors here often worked and studied all night long without even a few hours of sleep. Yakgok is also a place like that, so the doctors who couldn’t overcome their fatigue learned the easy-to-follow Heukmoonhyeolwolmarasimgong. Was a story.

From their point of view, if it is a magic attack that is not good for the body, they would naturally know in advance and reject it, but in the case of the Black Moon, Blood, Moon Mara Heart Ball, the magic energy would have spread secretly because it did not cause any major problems to the body, and they would have abused and trained it as a panacea.

“For a while, the doctors felt refreshed and happy, saying they were not tired, but as time passed, most of the doctors in Yakgok lost their motivation, as if they had lost their souls, and later on, they started stealing the dead bodies of patients somewhere and stealing the living ones. “They committed crazy acts, even dissecting people alive.”

It’s black in the beginning… Let’s just call it Marasimgong from now on. In any case, only the lawmakers who were extremely obsessed with Marasimgong would show abnormal symptoms…

“Of course, they were punished and expelled from Yakgok, but the number of members showing similar mania gradually increased, and now most of the members except Saengbong, the owner of Yakgok, have defected to the Blackwoldang, and patients stopped coming to the nearby area due to the evil rumors. “They were doing something by kidnapping a sick traveler.”

“How do you know this?”

“This is a story that So-in heard directly when he went to look for a saenggyeolhwan (生潔丸) not long ago. Saengbong told it through a letter in case there was someone who stole it.”

The original name of the World’s Best Kunlun Hwan, currently held by Jeonryong, was Saenggyeolhwan, and it was an object that erupted occasionally only when a person was in danger of dying in Yakgok.

“At that time, the Black Moon Party did not show up, so there was a chance to escape together, but Saengbong said that he could not abandon his teacher, Gokju, the other doctors, or the patients who were still coming to the pharmacy because he thought they were his last hope. “He asked me for the last time and told me to convey his wishes to the Murim Alliance.”

In other words, Saengbong is currently in a very dangerous situation where it is unknown when it will fall into the hands of the Black Moon Party.

It is possible that he was killed there or, if useful, was used by being forcibly given a drug that would make him a married person…

‘If you make someone a real-life person, they will lose their intelligence. If you don’t need martial arts skills and medical knowledge, they will most likely not make you into a married person.’

As long as it is still considered necessary, it can be said that Yakgok’s lawmakers are safe to some extent.

“Soin tried to use Saenggyeolhwan as bait to lure the guys who took over Yakgok and give Saengbong a chance to escape… But he unexpectedly ran into Yeon Young master, so he asked for help like this.”

“……”

“While Soin and the practitioner take the time, you can find Saengbong and escape together.”

After hearing all of this, Sikbong quietly buried his face in my back and asked carefully.

“…If the Yakgok is full of Black Mooncakes, aren’t we… Literally on our way to death, brother? And Young master Cheong?”

“……”

At those words, Jeonryong Cheongseong pursed his lips.

In his own way, he couldn’t leave Saengbong alone, so he risked his life to bring reinforcements, but he was hesitant because he couldn’t guarantee whether his current action would save Saengbong or not, and rather, it was an action that would throw us all into the danger of death. It was.

“It doesn’t matter. I win.”

“I know you’re strong, but the Black Moon Party is such a powerful force that even the peak expert can use it like a devotee. If there were…”

In order to devour a group as famous and large as Yakgok, there must be several peak masters waiting for the Black Moon Party, and considering that there is a shaman faction just a stone’s throw away…

One of the executives will definitely be stationed there and preparing for any emergency.

Sikbong was speechless, but I thought Jeonryong and I could somehow deal with the peak expert, but there was no guarantee that there would not be a stronger expert than him.

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

But what does it matter?

“I win.”

If you’re an executive or something, I can catch you and that’s it.
