“Monarch sword type… ?”
“Okay.”
“That… Is the King Sword type you mentioned correct the King Sword type I know?”
I asked back to make sure I heard correctly.
Of course, I, who have superhuman senses, couldn’t have misheard what my father-in-law said, but it was a story that was so hard to believe.
King’s sword type.
It is a sword technique that only the head of the Namgung family can master from generation to generation, and is evaluated as one of the most powerful sword techniques known to the world.
When I married my direct descendant, Namgung Hwaran, I was able to learn all the martial arts of the Namgung family, including the Changgung Daeyeonsingong that I am currently learning, but the only exception was the Emperor Sword type.
A type of emperor sword that is literally said to be the sword of the emperor.
Imagine this.
He dared to attach the word ‘king’ to the way he wielded a sword, but among the numerous martial artists in Gangho, not one would say that the Namgung family was arrogant.
As one of the many martial arts people, I have also heard many rumors about the King’s Sword.
This is a story about the time when my father-in-law, the current head of the family, was the head of a small family.
It is said that his father-in-law, who was called Geomryong (劍龍) at the time, traveled around the rivers and engaged in cooperation.
Is it because once you become the head of the family, you cannot leave the family for any reason? Not only Anhui Province, but also Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, etc. It is said that my father-in-law traveled almost half of the central region on his own two feet.
In the process, not only were they suppressing bandits and numbers, but they were also cutting down countless Sa Sect bastards who were pretending to be political factions and hidden demons.
I wasn’t able to ask the person directly, but according to Namgung Hwaran, I heard that it was at that time that my father-in-law and mother-in-law met.
Among them, the anecdote in which my father-in-law cut down three leaders of the Sa faction who had gathered to target him with a single move using the emperor’s sword was still a story that is always mentioned when talking about the head of the Namgung family.
Unless you were an unusual case like me, it was almost impossible to kill a warrior of the same level, especially the leaders of the Sapa who had survived by seeing all kinds of dirty things, with one move.
Even in the case of Dan Li-se, didn’t the family head’s younger brother, Dan Qi-ryung, almost suffer a defeat from the same transcendent expert, Blood An Ya-hyo?
It was not at all easy to achieve such an overwhelming victory against a martial artist of the same level.
‘At that time, there was an influence of the legal instrument called Jegeum Jaryeongpae.’
Anyway, it is said that from that day on, the powers that were disapproving of my father-in-law’s cooperation ran away whenever they heard the nickname ‘Geomryong’.
You’re going to teach me that type of sword.
My father-in-law frowned when he saw my blank face.
“Why are you asking this after listening properly?”
“That… No, I’m grateful, but I can’t believe it… Is it really okay for me to learn the Emperor Sword form?”
“So you are saying that you will marry a Hwaran and not take responsibility?”
“Yes?”
“Or are you saying that you will put the weak Hwarani as the head of the household and play around behind her back?”
“It can’t be! Of course I plan to protect my wife.”
“Then you should learn the Emperor Sword style!”
It wasn’t just about teaching me strong martial arts skills so that I could protect my daughter.
It could be said that the current strength was sufficient to protect Namgung Hwaran.
However, the fact that I am half-forced to teach the Emperor Sword style, which even my direct descendant, Namgung Hwaran, was not able to master… It meant appointing me as the next head of the family, that is, the head of the small family.
‘When I became Daril’s son-in-law, I took the surname Namgung, but I didn’t know that I would become Sogaju.’
When I first entered Tuseonhyeophaengrok, I started out as an orphan living in a back alley with nothing, but now I am the owner of a small family belonging to the Namgung family. Probably, if nothing special happens, I will be able to comfortably become the head of the family in a few years.
It wasn’t even something I wanted in the first place, but I ended up learning the Emperor Sword style as if I was half-assed on it.
Although I was a little embarrassed, this kind of rise in status was always welcome.
When I seemed to understand something, my father-in-law nodded.
“Today, I will first show you a demonstration of the Emperor Sword style. You should check with your own eyes what kind of martial arts you need to learn in the future.”
Saying that, he walked towards the large rock at the back of the training ground.
Since it was a large rock in the corner, I thought it was for ornamental purposes or for fighting martial arts training, but it seemed like it would be put to use today.
Before I knew it, my father-in-law, who was aiming his sword at the rock, continued speaking.
“The emperor sword method is not a simple sword method.”
Hmm~
My father-in-law closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a while, an intense energy erupted from his body. The air around the training ground seemed to have momentarily become heavier. As evidence, I felt an unknown pressure every time I took a breath.
At that time, my father-in-law’s eyes brightened and opened.
As he slowly raised his sword, a rogue spirit that vibrated the air around him began to swirl around him.
Hehehe…
A force that makes your skin tingle. I could guess the identity of that momentum.
‘This… ‘Thoughts?’
I was already aware of the idea at a time when I was at the peak of my powers.
At the time of the collision with Suramun, the sensation I felt from the thunderbolt of the Seomjeon Thirteen Geomreoe used by Namgungpae. In fact, no lightning or electricity erupted from Nangongpae’s sword at that time, but the sound of the force, as if it were really thunder, stimulated the senses.
‘It’s different from back then… If the experience at that time was due to my sensitive senses, this… ‘
This was not a thought that already existed in the realm of energy.
However, it didn’t cause any noise like when I used the Lightning God Fist.
Even though my father-in-law’s intention was not to take power as loudly as a lightning strike, it was already pouring more force into the surrounding environment.
So bad!
The sound of cracking the bluestone on the floor echoed.
The stone, known for its hardness, could not handle the intangible force and trembled out of place.
“The King’s Sword type is the sword that embodies the five meanings of the sword that Namgung possesses and uses the sword to demonstrate the essence of martial arts that our family has accumulated over the past hundreds of years.”
After saying those words, my father-in-law lightly swung the sword aimed at the rock downward.
Seueueuu
Not only did the sword not touch the rock, but the sword wind needed to come out at an absurdly slow speed, so there seemed to be no way to hit the rock without at least blowing out the sword wind.
However, the light movement of lowering the sword shook the world once.
thud!
“!”
A shock was felt in my mind, as if a mountain had been lifted and then dropped. At the same time, I felt an enormous pressure, as if a huge sword covering the entire sky was heading towards this place.
Meanwhile, my father-in-law’s sword was slowly falling toward the floor. And as the height decreased, the invisible sword came down more and more towards the target rock.
The rock vibrated slightly and began to crack, as if it were being crushed by a huge hand. The momentum grew stronger.
And finally, the moment when all swords were lowered.
Kwaaa!!!
The rock shattered with a huge explosion sound.
Debris flew in all directions, but I watched the scene without moving a single step from my original position.
“The Emperor Sword type is a must-have sword that cannot be avoided the moment it is unfolded. This is because the moment thoughts dominate space, avoidance becomes impossible. For demonstration purposes, I used it while looking at a rock, but once you get used to it, you can also spread it out with your bare hands without looking at the target.”
My father-in-law put down his sword and said. His voice was calm after completing the demonstration, but the power contained in it was clearly felt.
The sword style wielded by a warrior, no longer a sword dragon, but nicknamed the Sword King (劍王), which has been passed down to the head of the Namgung family from generation to generation, was that overwhelming.
‘There’s no need to use a sword or even look at the target? This seems like a technique closer to a supernatural power than a real sword technique. Since it is a technique that uses the mind, should it be called the mind technique?’
The demonstration was followed by a brief explanation.
There was a point that the Emperor Sword type itself did not exist separately, or that for that purpose, one had to learn the inner gongsim method called the Heavenly Thunder Emperor Shingong (天雷帝王神功), which was prepared separately for the head of the family.
The Thunder Emperor Divine Technique seemed to be a higher-level compatible method of the Lightning Technique, which was only mentioned in name. Considering that only the head of the family could learn it, it was clear that it was a Neigongsim technique worthy of the name Shingong, like the Changgung Dae Yeonsingong.
Anyway, I had to visit Gajujeon starting tomorrow to learn how to use the Emperor Sword…
I looked down at Namgung Hwaran, who was lying on the bed and sleeping with a peaceful face.
At first, he looked like he was having a nightmare and started tossing and turning, but after I held his hand, he was sleeping soundly.
‘It looks like he has no intention of waking up anytime soon.’
Even though he’s fine, he’s still a patient, so we can’t force him to wake up.
I thought I should just sleep well and let myself wake up tomorrow morning.
The problem is that Namgung Hwaran might get angry and hit me on the back…
It is true that there is nothing to say in the position of making your wife worry, but it is still better to avoid receiving resentment as much as possible.
Even if I get hit on the back, it won’t cause any physical problems, but I think it would be a little heartbreaking to see Namgung Hwaran staring at me with resentment.
‘But there’s a way.’
I took a kneeling position with my face buried next to Namgung Hwaran’s bed.
The so-called ‘Nursing and Falling Asleep’ operation.
A method that has appeared in many contents, including dramas, and has proven its effectiveness is to sleep in an uncomfortable position next to your loved one. Then, the person who wakes up from the sick bed will feel sympathy and forgive the other person, even if they are angry.
When the anger has calmed down a bit, I quietly stand up and say hello, and the operation is complete.
‘Then, should I close my eyes for a moment?’
I took a nap, looking forward to a warm reunion with Namgung Hwaran, who had just woken up.
I definitely had such a plan…
“Ugh… ?”
“Sang-soo, are you awake?”
Why am I tied to the bed?
