Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 98 – Jeongma Dialogue Agreement Chapter (01)

It was a strange feeling.

The danjeon was clearly damaged and blood was seeping from the heart, but the body no longer hurt.

I was looking down at my body from afar, as if I were a ghost looking down at my corpse.

“It’s really scary to see it like this.”

Blood oozed from the wound on his chest, so it was hard to tell whether he had been wearing a red bandage from the beginning or whether the white bandage had been stained with blood.

Just the beating of my heart was painful enough, so my body was trembling, and white fog was leaking from my Danjeon, freezing everything around me.

The Murim Alliance strictly controlled the area around me and prevented others from entering out of curiosity or out of malice towards me, but because it was outdoors and not indoors, small creatures such as bugs and birds did not notice and approached me, and then turned into pieces of ice. Becomes and dies.

They say that the most difficult thing for people is self-objectification, and I must say that it is quite amazing that I can watch my body so calmly.

‘In the first place, I am borrowing this body.’

If you compare your body to a rental car, you are already subject to blacklisting.

Not only did he not die, but he was brought to the brink of death several times and his body was never in complete disrepair.

But now that I finally faced Lee Dan-ju and won by decision, I felt like I could finally see the end of this long, long fight.

‘You just need to do a little more’

What happens when this whole story ends?

As someone who borrows Yeon Cheong-ha’s body, will I see the end of the story and return to the way it was?

Or should I continue living after that?

Before, when I was thinking about it, I thought, just a little bit, about destroying the Black Moon Party just enough to make it difficult for them to advance into the central plains, leaving some behind, and remaining in this world where I can do whatever I want with my powerful martial arts skills.

Just like in a game that ends when you see the ending, you don’t do the final quest to enjoy the content for a long time.

But soon, I made up my mind, saying that every story has an end, and that this world had already become my reality, not a world in a novel, so I had to see it to the end.

‘After everything is over, I…’

There was a lot of work to be done.

After everything is over… Whether it’s confession or dating.

If it all bothers you, you can pretend not to know and go on a trip to the West or a place that people won’t find.

There was a lot of time. As long as I win.

‘Now there is very little left. So… Cheer up, Yeoncheongha’

Sharpening the sword of my heart, I returned to this world once again.

The 47th Cheonma appeared in the midfield.

But this was not an invasion of the central plains, nor was it a humiliating attack on the Demonic Cult that took them hostage.

As a guest, I am coming to Jungwon after receiving an invitation from the Murim Guardian League.

“There was no need to follow my sister.”

“You’re saying something strange. What are you going to do if the first elder doesn’t follow you?”

“What are you worried about? Even if the Murim Alliance members have strange feelings, if you use the Heavenly Demon’s Divine Art in earnest, you can annihilate them with just one person, right?”

Due to the influence of the Heavenly Demon’s new techniques, he originally showed skills above that of a peak expert, but now he has achieved enlightenment and has reached the beginning of the transcendental peak. He is the 47th Heavenly Demon.

In contrast, Geumseonmahu, who was previously called Somafu, looked uncomfortable because he was blocked from the climax wall, but he had no intention of being jealous of his twin brother, so he just shot a word with a sullen expression.

“At least you can’t reach that person.”

“I don’t think it’s something the First Elder should say in front of the Heavenly Demon…”

“I was just telling the truth.”

“Judging from the way you bring up the story in this situation, it seems like you are also looking forward to meeting your brother?”

“Yes. But?”

Even though she was his own sister, she was envious of her confident appearance, and thought that she might have been better suited to become Cheonma than herself, but that competition ended when she was Socheonma, and now she was Cheonma.

Of course, if he dies in an unexpected accident, as the 47th Cheonma without a mate or offspring, he will have no choice but to transfer it to his younger brother, Geumseonmahu.

“Still, it’s convenient that you don’t have to hide your identity like you used to.”

“Hmph. Isn’t this what happened now because I revealed my identity?”

They came after receiving an invitation from the Wulin Guardian League, but from the time they arrived until now, they were not surrounded by disciples of the Shaman faction as originally planned, but by elders and disciples of the Kunlun faction, who could be considered their enemies, and were surrounding them.

Anyone could see that they wanted to kill the 47th Heavenly Demon and the successor who would become the next Heavenly Demon whenever they had the chance, so the Heavenly Demon felt a strong sense of death to the extent that the red Heavenly Demon power leaked out from his body without even realizing it, but even they had to have a cause in this state. Since they couldn’t attack, they were holding them as guards for now.

‘It’s easy to kill, but’

Among them, except for one elder who is close to peak expert level, the rest are at the level of first-class experts.

Considering that the combat power of demons who use magic attacks is usually much stronger than that of ordinary martial arts people, it would be enough for Geumseon Demon to go out alone instead of the Heavenly Demon, but I still held back because I did not want to cause an accident in a situation where I was invited.

Of course, even so, he couldn’t be tied down to this kind of manipulation forever, so Cheonma was also planning to bide his time and maim a few people if they didn’t lift the siege by this evening, or kill them if he was really unlucky.

Still, I tried to endure it as much as I could, but as Jinseon Demon Demon’s patience slowly ran out and her Huahu Demon Gong slowly began to rise, the warriors of the Kunlun sect also put their hands on their weapons, prepared for death, and began to pour out their lives.

“I’m sorry for the late visit.”

However, this close confrontation was broken by an unexpected visitor.

In a situation where the Kunlun faction was about to release other disciples to form a network of Cheonnaji and divide the masters into several small commandos to engage in wheel warfare, a man easily broke through the Kunlun faction’s defense network and came in.

No, she wasn’t exactly her man, but she was a woman with a sturdy stature like her man.

“My name is Cheolbong Ban Gyu-seong. I have come to greet you, guests of the Murim Defense League.”

“Iron Bong Ban Gyu-seong… Isn’t he an iron dragon?”

In response to Geumseon Mahu’s question, Ban Gyu-seong was smiling sheepishly, pointing to his bulging chest because he no longer needed to cover it with bandages.

She was definitely quite big in terms of her shoulders and stature, but looking at her like this, she seemed like a rather large and simple woman. Geumseon Mahu quickly understood, but in her own way, she was listening to the news of Ban Gyu-seong, the Iron Dragon. It seemed that Lao Tzu was a surprise to Cheonma.

The warriors of the Kunlun faction, who are immediately surrounding the Heavenly Demon and the Geumseon Demon, do not know what to do when Ban Gyu-seong arrives, but in the end, they give up their murderous intent and play the role of protecting the Heavenly Demon and the Geumseon Demon in an ambiguous state without hiding their hostility. I had to go back.

“I heard that you have become the Murim Lord. Is it okay to come to a place like this in person?”

Ban Gyu-seong answered Geumseon Mahu’s question by scratching his cheek with a embarrassed expression on his face.

“There are various reasons, but I could not become the Murim lord.”

“Then, did he become the Murim lord?”

Looking at them, who were not particularly surprised, I realized that they were indeed Yeon Cheong-ha’s acquaintances and that they were not surprised even if something serious happened, and Ban Gyu-seong led the way.

“I’ll tell you the details later. Come to think of it, there are only two of you, right?”

Cheonma answered that question casually so that the Kunlun sect masters who showed hostility around him could hear it.

“The new Cheonmadae has already entered the Cheonghae area.”

The attack by Idangju eventually resulted in an accident in which several elders of the Murim Alliance were killed.

Due to this incident, the opinion was that the Murim lord should be held by the highest leader in the political faction, and there was talk of asking me to ascend to the position of Murim lord instead of Ban Gyu-seong, who was originally appointed, but of course, as someone who kept such things in check, I was absolutely against it. He declined the position and told me to hand it over to Ban Gyu-seong.

However, Ban Gyu-seong showed a good performance to the general warriors and public opinion was good, but for the elders, public opinion was divided because he could not deal with Lee Dang-ju. In the end, a compromise could not be found, and the position of Murim leader went to someone else. .

“Cluck… Wouldn’t it be better for you to take over now?”

“No, your current location suits you well.”

The current leader of the Forest Defense League.

Oh Hwa-jun, Taeeuljingeom (太乙眞劍) of the Shaman faction.

He was originally an expert at the peak, but with the help of the shaman faction who did not want to miss this opportunity and the support of other old faction factions, he surpassed the level and was able to reach the beginning of the transcendent peak similar to Ban Gyu-seong.

He was quite a bit older, and if his constitution wasn’t right, there was a risk of losing the elixir or being poisoned, but he was able to succeed in the end because he was able to shake off the elixir techniques of the shaman faction and create a master of the highest level.

From the point of view of the shaman faction, they thought that if they became the Murim lord, they would be able to make up for the loss of the shaman faction by bringing elixirs from the Murim ally’s pharmacy, but in the meantime, with Mu Bong at the forefront, I took out all the elixirs in the pharmacy and fed them to the experts who seemed to have potential, so it was empty and the stars were empty. There would be no income.

Furthermore, in the case of Taeeuljingeom Oh Hwa-jun, compared to his contemporaries who took the elixir, he lacked a desire for power, so he did not favor or help the shaman faction, so he seemed to feel betrayed by the shaman faction.

‘But conversely, that may be why I was able to reach the pinnacle on my own.’

If you are interested in power, it is difficult to reach a high level.

As people like Geumgun, who are inseparable from power and politics, it would be nice if they learned martial arts accordingly. Since many of the martial arts of the right faction were derived from Shaolin and Shaman, the two leaders of the old faction, they were basically free from the influence of worldly things. There were many cases where it was received well.

Should we say that one must give up worldly power in order to become stronger by learning non-partisan martial arts?

‘It’s contradictory. You have to be strong to become a Murim lord, but those who have the desire to become a lord cannot become that strong.’

However, thanks to the appearance of a supreme expert in the Shaman faction, there was someone to take on the position of leader. After that, I visited him and persuaded him why an alliance with the Demonic Cult was necessary, and he accepted it, so things were going well.

Rather, should we say that Taeeuljingeom, who has the shaman faction on his back, is more useful than Ban Gyu-seong, who people around him will not follow because he is still young?

Anyway, the situation of the Murim Alliance was resolved like this, and I returned to Seolhwa not long ago, and I had reaped an unexpectedly large harvest.

Surprisingly, Lee Dang-ju did not erase or deceive his traces while running away, but instead disappeared by running in a straight line, so it is said that he was late because he had confirmed that the road was leading to Black Moon Temple.

Surprisingly, the headquarters of the Black Moon Party is located in Yunnan.

It is far from the central plains, but it is extremely far from Xinjiang. It is not too remote, nor is it a place where the forces of the Murim Alliance are strong, so it seems to have been able to avoid detection because it was in an awkward location.

It appears that the clan members had been living in hiding for hundreds of years, moving little by little, and had escaped to Yunnan. As soon as they determined that they had clearly identified their location, they mobilized most of the informants of the Gao and Zhuge families to search the surrounding area.

Among the military history of the Zhuge family, Cheonbong Zhuge Yanji personally went to collect and analyze information, and even during the opening, he left only one of his disciples, Shik-bong, as a contact in the Murim Alliance, while Bang Joo and two of his best disciples traced the traces of the Black Moon Party. There was.

‘I wish I could find it without any problems…’

The opponent is Black Moon Party.

There are bound to be some sacrifices in the search process…

The reason they have been so quiet these days is that these guys are somehow… Anxious.
