Chapter 47: Unrestrained Saber Peng Ga-heon
In reality, it could be said to be like a moth charging towards a candle fla.
“Die!”
With the shout of an unnad Ice Palace master, such a thought naturally ca to my mind as I saw dozens of Sword Qis resembling the cold wave of the Northern Sea gathering towards the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor.
Kwaang!
What unfolded after the powerful clash was…….
“Keok.”
Dozens of Sword Qis collapsing in a single blow.
It was a scene caused by the fact that although he had only extended his hand forward, no one's sword could penetrate the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's rebound barrier.
In reality, I don't even know if it's right to call it a barrier.
It was because there were also so martial artists whose arm joints holding their swords were bent backwards as if they had been hit by a powerful attack.
The swords of the Ice Palace martial artists, who were at least at the Peak Realm and most of whom had set foot in the Transcendent Peak, had beco like those of ordinary people.
This could be said to be the peak of the Jianghu Murim and the weight of a martial artist who had seized the title of Emperor.
And…….
Tat!
Han Baek-rim launched himself, preparing for a continuous attack.
Woowoong.
A montum quite different from before was present in Han Baek-rim's sword; it was a uniquely clear Sword Flux, like the North Star that stands alone at the end of the Northern Sea.
Confirming that fact, the languor on the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's face faded a little.
“Not bad.”
Even a master of the Transcendent Realm cannot ignore Sword Flux, so the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor montarily took out his beloved weapon and blocked the Sword Flux.
Fortunately, it seems he had not reached the realm of the Formless Sword.
Kwang!
As Sword Flux t Sword Flux, a fierce clash was heard, and shockwaves scattered in all directions.
“A young man with a bright future.”
Although Han Baek-rim was well past the age to be called a rising star, I couldn't help but agree that compared to the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor Wiji Han, he had the appearance of a young man.
“I'm sorry, but I must take that future of yours.”
“It’s alright.”
Han Baek-rim answered, tightening his grip on his hand that had gone numb from the aftermath of the clash.
“You will go with , old man.”
For a mont, I had the idle thought that today was probably the day the Heretic Alliance Lord of the world was called 'old man' the most.
Han Baek-rim bounced his body with the subtlety of a bow-spring shooting an arrow and rushed at the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor again.
Although it was not such a tragic expression, both the Heretic Alliance Lord and I knew.
The fact that what Han Baek-rim had just unfolded was a move of mutual destruction
Since it was a move of mutual destruction that even I, a third party, had noticed, it would be right to call it a failure.
Nevertheless, an attack by a master who had reached the State of Harmony, disregarding his own life, was sufficiently powerful, so the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor Wiji Han responded with a serious expression.
Chaeng!
A sad premonition is rarely wrong; Wiji Han lightly deflected Han Baek-rim's move of mutual destruction.
What else would a move of mutual destruction be?
The mont it is broken, losing one's life is a danger that would naturally follow.
“Farewell.”
Saying so, the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's sword rushed towards Han Baek-rim's neck.
But the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's sword also could not achieve its purpose.
It was because the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's sword, which had been heading for Han Baek-rim's vitals, quickly deviated from its path and turned backwards.
Kwaang!
My sword strike, which had aid for the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's back, was blocked.
I would not call it a failure.
It was because my attack just now was not to kill the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor, but a move to save Han Baek-rim.
“Right. You were here too.”
My figure, which had swiftly passed Wiji Han, reached Han Baek-rim's side.
“Don't think of dying so easily.”
When I slightly turned my gaze, I saw Bukgung Seol-a with a dumbfounded expression.
“Don't you have soone to protect?”
“……You are right.”
It was the first ti I had agreed with Han Baek-rim.
“I will… lend a hand.”
The martial artists of the Ice Palace, who had been thrown back by the rebound barrier, were getting up, using their swords as canes.
It wasn't that they were slow; it was that the ti we had exchanged blows up to this point was not that long.
This is the tiline in which masters live.
A few whose arms they originally used were broken from the shock of the rebound barrier were holding their swords in a reverse grip in their other hand.
They would know themselves that they couldn't even exert half of their full strength.
Nevertheless, in no one's eyes could I read resignation or despair; I would say this is the robustness of the martial artists who survived in the barren Outer Regions.
“Get ready.”
At my answer, the gazes of the Ice Palace martial artists gathered on .
Perhaps because we were sharing a hardship, I could read a camaraderie that was not there before in their gazes.
Although I am acting leisurely, I know that there is not much ti left.
It is because I know that the reason we were able to exchange so blows just now was entirely due to the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor Wiji Han holding back.
And that ti ca to an end faster than I thought.
“I pay my respects to your spirits.”
What other way would the pinnacle of the heretic way pay respects to his opponents?
“So, I shall send you all off without pain.”
Isn't it by treating the opponent as a worthy adversary and killing them with a serious mindset?
Because his words were sincere, a powerful flow of true Qi was detected centered on the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor.
As the absolute ruler unfolded his montum, the illusion of the heavens and earth shaking arose.
“I have my reasons for needing to take the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Snow Ginseng, so I am sorry.”
Perhaps we were the first sacrifices to receive an apology from the Heretic Alliance Lord.
“I will guide you all to eternal sleep.”
Gugung.
Behind the Heretic Alliance Lord, who had finished speaking, stood three huge Qi swords, as if a divine general from the heavenly realm had descended.
It would be right to correct my rough guess that he had not achieved the realm of the Formless Sword.
‘Crazy.’
In reality, I don't know if I should call that a martial art.
I had co across through countless pieces of information the fact that once one enters the supre realm of the Transcendent Realm, it is possible to manifest all sorts of divine skills using intent.
But I realized that this too was a realm that could not be fully contained in re scraps of paper.
Just as information cannot fully contain a person's life, it must have been that a martial art that had reached the supre level could not be contained.
“Farewell.”
With the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's calm farewell, the three Formless Swords, which were a materialization of Sword Flux, flew through the air at high speed.
Since they were swords materialized with intent, it was inevitable that they could be controlled with sword levitation.
In the slowed ti, I saw Han Baek-rim running to protect Bukgung Seol-a.
Since his duty was to be the Young Palace Mistress' guard, it was a tily judgnt.
Whether it was a Formless Sword or sword levitation, its essence would ultimately be Sword Flux, so Han Baek-rim, who had reached the State of Harmony and could draw out Sword Flux, would be able to hold out for a while.
Tat!
My judgnt was as swift as Han Baek-rim's.
The place my figure had ethereally moved to was in front of the Ice Palace martial artists.
I had blocked the way of those who were gripping their swords to face the Formless Swords with a spirit full of righteousness.
I respect their spirit, but it is because I know the reality.
Sword Qi or Sword Thread can never block Sword Flux.
Moreover, what can be said about the Sword Flux of a Transcendent Realm master, created without the help of a sword's power and with the subtlety of sword levitation added?
The Sword Qi of the Ice Palace martial artists was scheduled to be fleetingly cut away along with their lives.
Isn't that the absurdity of Sword Flux?
I know that the imdiate problem has not been solved just because I blocked the front of the Ice Palace martial artists.
The reason being, the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor had created three Formless Swords.
Kwang!
Han Baek-rim barely blocked the Formless Sword aid at Bukgung Seol-a.
Kwang!
“Keuk.”
I deflected one of the Formless Swords that rushed at head-on.
And I knew that the last one was heading vertically from the sky towards the Ice Palace martial artists.
Although I knew, there was nothing I could do, so it was lantable.
“We will block it!”
A few of the Ice Palace masters, who had relatively more energy left, shouted, wrapping themselves in Sword Thread.
As they ford a square formation and blocked the path of the Formless Sword, an undeniable death was etched in their pupils.
Although it could be called a mont of life and death, I was able to not be discouraged.
‘You've finally co.’
It was because I had detected the presence of the reinforcents that had just arrived.
Tat!
A figure who had instantly passed the Ice Palace martial artists in the square formation soared into the sky.
“Hoo-up!”
As the huge figure stepped on the air, the sun was covered and a shadow was cast.
“Urat-cha!”
With a hearty shout, the figure's saber, which was imbued with strong Qi, clashed with the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's Formless Sword.
Kwa-ang!
For a mont, I couldn't help but be surprised.
It was because unlike Han Baek-rim or , who had deflected the Formless Sword with Sword Flux, the figure had crushed the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's Formless Sword.
It wasn't that the strong Qi on the figure's saber was superior to the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's.
As an illogical brute force was added to the power of the saber flux, the Formless Sword, unable to withstand that power for a mont, wavered.
Indeed, it would be right to say that the brute force of the Peng Clan was beyond logic.
Perhaps the alias Unrestrained Saber did not an that his saber was brandished indiscriminately, but that it broke logic.
The figure, the Murim Alliance's Shanxi Branch Chief, Unrestrained Saber Peng Ga-heon, successfully completed his objective and landed beside .
“Tsk, there was one more.”
What was on the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's face was not bewildernt or despair; it would be more correct to call it displeasure.
I know that for a man who has reached the pinnacle of the Jianghu Murim, the addition of one more master of the State of Harmony would not be a great threat.
“It's been a while.”
As Peng Ga-heon greeted .
“You're late.”
I welcod him with a glad heart.
“Isn't this arriving just in ti?”
I gave a slight nod as a sign of agreent.
Although it was annoying, his words were not wrong.
It was because there was no one who had passed away yet.
“You are still reckless.”
“……I agree.”
This ti, I was truly reckless, so I admitted that there was no excuse.
However, since he had arrived in the nick of ti, it would be right to see that my recklessness was thwarted.
“But did you co alone?”
“Of course?”
“Oh dear.”
But there was a part I had not thought of; the fact that Peng Ga-heon was unexpectedly a man of principle.
Since my prediction that he would lead the martial forces of the Shanxi Murim Alliance had been wrong, it would be right to see that the crisis was still ongoing.
To think that he had seen the passionate side of the Peng Clan on the day he had turned a blind eye to the box in my bosom, yet had arrived here alone because he couldn't break the rules.
It would be right to correct my evaluation of Peng Ga-heon.
It would be more fitting to call him a petty person rather than a man of passion from the Peng Clan.
As if not knowing my inner thoughts, Peng Ga-heon laughed cheerfully.
“Just trust .”
Saying so, Peng Ga-heon took a large step forward; in front of him was the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor.
“I am the Shanxi Branch Chief of the Murim Alliance, Unrestrained Saber Peng Ga-heon. I greet you, Senior Martial Emperor.”
“I see. A pleasure to et you.”
To call the supre ruler of the heretic way 'senior', at least I know that Peng Ga-heon's magnanimity is not that of a petty person.
Peng Ga-heon, who had puffed out his chest without bowing to the authority of the Martial Emperor, said.
“Privately, I am a mber of the Peng Clan, one of the Five Great Clans, and publicly, I am the Branch Chief of the Murim Alliance's Shanxi branch. If Senior Martial Emperor harms , a war between the righteous and the heretics will be unavoidable!”
Befitting a hero of the Peng Clan, I would say it was a truly resounding voice.
“…….”
The Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor did not answer.
In the midst of the urgency, the martial artists of the Ice Palace, unable to hide their embarrassnt, cleared their throats with a 'keum' and tapped the unfortunate ground with the tips of their feet.
Since I was the one who had called Peng Ga-heon, it would be right for to save him.
“I, already used that one.”
Peng Ga-heon's expression beca quite serious.
“Hmm. Was it that situation?”
“It was.”
“Heh heh, we're dood.”
A fortunate thing would be that his wits were quick, not unworthy of the nickna ‘Fox Bear.’
“Alright. Are all the last words finished?”
As the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's dense killing intent filled the surroundings, the atmosphere, which had been full of jokes, instantly grew cold.
It did not stop at re montum; five Formless Swords floated around the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor.
The previous offensive was not the Unrivaled Force Martial Emperor's full strength either.
Five Formless Swords.
Since there were only three masters of the State of Harmony who could stand against them, it would be right to describe it as a life-and-death crisis with no room for a breakthrough.
I, Han Baek-rim, and Peng Ga-heon might be able to escape if we tried our best, but the rest could be considered as already eting the ssenger of the underworld.
But the smile on Peng Ga-heon's face did not disappear.
“See? Didn't I say it would be better for to co, even if it's a bother?”
As his low voice rode the wind and cut through the air.
“That's right, you brat.”
Another figure had appeared.
I thought there would be no more surprises, but I was genuinely surprised.
“Old man Wiji, why are you causing a ruckus on soone else's land?”
It was because I was well aware of the identity of the figure who spoke so.
The undisputed absolute supre ruler of the Jianghu Murim and the Lord of the Murim Alliance had manifested in this place.
He was none other than Emperor Breaker Yeom Gi-ha.
“Did the Branch Chief call you?”
“Of course?”
“……You're amazing.”
I had no choice but to admit it.
Unrestrained Saber Peng Ga-heon.
He was a true man of passion from the Peng Clan.
