Even though it’s been about ten days since we met and got to know each other, we haven’t always been together since we entered Seongnakwon.

Most of the time, Murong Xue tries to stick with me, but after going through various things, Murong Xue spends some time refining himself.

Boo-woong.

The sound of sharp blades is heard in the backyard of Seongnakwon.

For me, the sound of the sword resonating one after another made me wonder, ‘When will it reach there?’ The sound was constant, like water droplets flowing down from a stalactite.

Boom, boom, boo-woong.

There is one thing in the martial arts world that is taboo.

That is, you should not look down on someone practicing martial arts.

But I can see the training of the Mo Yong Seol.

Most martial artists say that even couples do not show themselves practicing martial arts, but Murong Seol said that he can show himself practicing as much as he wants.

However, I am not currently observing Mo Yongseol’s martial arts.

Because of that, the sound of Murong Seol swinging his sword resonates more sharply, but that doesn’t mean I did anything wrong.

If I’m not looking at Mo Yongseol, it means I’m busy, or someone else is visiting Seongnakwon to greet him and talk to him.

The former is usually when I’m cleaning my room, doing laundry, or cooking.

And although it’s quite rare these days, this time it’s the latter.

“Rep. Seok.”

The only person who can freely enter and exit Seongnakwon, Geomseong Mo Yongcheon, visited Seongnakwon.

“He sent a letter to Emperor Do-hwang asking him to come to Murong Se-ga.”

“You sent a letter to the Emperor?”

I was surprised by the words of Geomseong who visited Seongnakwon with food and couldn’t help but ask back.

“Yeah. Why, are you perhaps not prepared enough?”

“No. I thought you would go there yourself.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Geomseong tilted his head as if asking a strange question, but I knew Geomseong’s ‘speed’ better than anyone else.

“Can’t you get from here to Sichuan Dangga in Sichuan in one day?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do.”

From the northeast to the southwest of Central China in just one day.

First of all, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary human being, and it is impossible even if you ride a horse.

A martial artist?

Even if you are a master of the law or have practiced the Secret of the Spirit with utmost diligence, wouldn’t it take at least seven days?

But blackmail is possible.

Others may not know, but I have a secret piece of information that I heard from my teacher.

“Excuse me, sir.”

“Why but.”

“Are you saying that because it’s really possible?”

“……Heh.”

For the first time, Geomseong smiled at me.

“You’re a man too.”

“…Before becoming a man, wouldn’t any human being be curious about this? It’s something that transcends human limitations.”

“…….”

“Why do you look like that?”

“No. It’s a bit ridiculous for you, the one who creates miracles, to say something like that.”

Geomseong got up, letting out a hollow laugh.

“Seol-ah. That’s enough practice for the Jeokran Pawn Sword. Now, come and look at this.”

How did they know what kind of exercise I was practicing when I was practicing behind the building?

As expected, the aura of the best person in the world is beyond the realm of human understanding.

“Father, what are you trying to show me?”

“I didn’t plan on showing it to you originally, but since Assemblyman Seok was so curious, I had no choice but to show it to you myself.”

” Representative?”

“Well, ok. ”

To be honest, I’m curious about what I’m curious about.

“When Cheonma showed overwhelming power against the Jeongpa of Shaanxi.”

There is a saying among the rich in the martial arts world.

“At that moment, the black dragon came down from the sky, carrying a backpack on his back, and ‘walked through the sky’.”

The day when Cheonma fell and Geomseong became a star and hero of the martial arts world.

Many people say that they saw the ‘descent’ of the Black Sword with their own eyes.

“It wasn’t the sky. I walked down from the top of the volcano to where Cheonma was.”

Although Geomseong corrected the rumor as if it was nothing serious, he did not deny the words that should have been changed according to common sense.

“And it wasn’t even a back-up. One hand was already spreading out the sword and going down, and the other hand was only attached to the back.”

Geomseong stood up from his seat and raised his sword, and if Cheonma were to look up from below, he would assume an extremely arrogant posture.

And then-

“Walking in the air is just walking on the wind instead of the ground.”

Just like that, so naturally, I started to walk through the air as if I was climbing stairs.

“Will you embrace nature and live with it? Or will you dominate it and trample on it?”

“What is the difference between white and black?”

“It doesn’t matter either way. What’s important is to realize the laws of nature and then bring your will to this world.”

Blacksmith walked up the tree, and even though there were no ladders or stairs, he picked off a leaf and held it between his index and middle fingers before turning towards us.

“This is a walk in the air.”

“Wow….”

It was a story that made me exclaim in admiration, but Murong Seol didn’t seem to be particularly impressed.

“Young lady. Why are you like that? The swordsman himself showed me the empty step.”

“I saw it a lot when I was young, so I don’t really like it.”

“…….”

“Until I was seven, I would just run in the air like a sprinter. I thought it was normal, so I even asked my uncle and the warriors, “How fast can you run in the air?””

“Ahem.”

The swordsman, who is located higher than the roof of the Seongnakwon building, coughs and stretches his sword to the side.

“To Rep. Seok and to you, what I want to show you is not a walk in the air.”

“You’re saying it’s not a walk in the air?”

“Yes. I showed this to Ma Baek-myeon. Two years ago, when Seol-i’s body temperature was dropping, I showed it to him when I went to find the spirit tablet that would relieve Seol-i’s pain. ”

“Ah, are you talking about the blood that I ate back then? The blood that looked like that of an animal?”

“Yeah. It must have been hard to eat, but thanks to that, the pain stopped, right? At that time, Assemblyman Seok had a hard time too.”

“It’s in the past.”

I stayed by his side all night, talking to him in order to somehow feed him the beast’s blood.

“That, sir? At that time, I….”

“I got splashed with the spirit’s blood on my face, I ate nine out of ten of the medicines I had made, and because I was a spirit’s internal organ, my internal energy boiled over so much that I was sick for about a week.”

That’s how it was back then.

“, sir. That…”

“How could a doctor prescribe medicine and give it to a patient without understanding the patient’s pain? It’s hard to say that it’s all thanks to me, but because I understood the young lady’s pain and showed sincerity in being with her, she was able to overcome the crisis at that time.”

His own body was falling apart, but this so-called doctor was forcing him to take medicine, saying that he needed to take it to get better. He was even trying to feed him tiger blood and ox blood, so he had no choice but to overturn the table.

“In fact, now that I think about it, I think the reason the young lady ended up taking the medicine was because she was moved by those words.”

“What do you mean?”

“I told you that the Sword Master went all the way to Mount Ami to find the inner part of this spirit. Soju ate one of the ten remaining pills. Thanks to that, the pain that felt like her body was falling apart stopped.”

“…Was that so?”

Mo Yongseol turns his gaze away, letting out a hollow laugh.

Perhaps, that moment was so painful and miserable that he would not want to remember it.

…huh?

Are you saying that it’s because you feel embarrassed and ashamed of yourself for being so irritable, irritable, and acting like a villain?

If someone asks me that, I would say that it is nothing more than a slander by Yoo Ki-yeon and many other women.

“Hmm….”

Even Geomseong, who had been listening quietly, just remained silent and let out a sigh.

I wish he had said something, but somehow the gaze looking at me feels a little lukewarm.

It wasn’t hot and then cooled down, but it was still cold enough to make you wear layers of clothing when you go out.

“Ahem. Yes. I went to correct you after hearing that the spirit of Amisan Mountain’s mountain army could alleviate Seol-i’s pain. It took exactly two days. From now on, I will show you the technique I used to move in those two days… no, one day. ”

One day out of two days is spent moving.

Perhaps one day, I was searching for the mountain men in Amisan and fighting against them.

“Actually, it’s nothing special.”

Geomseong placed the sword he had created with Geomgang aside, and the sword was placed horizontally to the ground.

“Just surrender yourself to the swordsmanship of the Igi-eogeom, focus your mind on the sword, and achieve the union of the mind and the sword. ”

Geomseong stood up with both feet on the sword he had placed with his sword.

“The rest is just moving by controlling the sword.”

Boo-hoo!

As a halo of light flashed behind the sword and a gust of wind rose, the swordsman riding the sword began to move.

” and.”

This time, the exclamation came purely from my mouth.

It was not easy to see a person flying through the sky on a sword, and if he wanted to, he could be faster than a horse—no, faster than a falcon flying through the sky.

“Flying Sword. It is literally a sword technique that flies in the sky.”

The black sword jumps down from the sword and lands on the ground with a splash, and the black sword scatters into stardust in the air.

“What do you think, Seol-ah?”

“…Hyun-kyung can do it, right?”

An intense heat began to shine in Mo Yongseol’s eyes.

“Of course. It’s probably the only secret technique that I can use in the entire Central Plains martial arts world. It’s not something that can be summarized in a secret way, but I’ll try my best to organize my enlightenment and convey it in writing.”

“Yes!”

Is this the power of a daughter?

It’s so easy to inherit the enlightenment that the great master Hyun Kyung gained over several decades.

“Rep. Seok.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Well, um, …you, don’t put down your sword completely. You’re quite talented.”

It was quite unfamiliar to hear Geumseong turn his head and cough somewhere.

“Are you saying you have talent for swordsmanship?”

“To some extent. Of course, Seol-i will reach my level faster-”

“Of course!”

Mo Yongseol showed strong motivation and clung to me.

“If I could fly in the sky with the Sword of Heaven, I would hold you in my arms and run across the sky!”

“…….”

Could it be an illusion?

The lukewarm eyes of the black sword that had been looking at me returned to cold, frosty eyes glaring at me.

“That’s not right.”

“Yeah, Seol-ah. That’s-”

“I will hold you.”

“…….”

I felt alive.

* * *

“So why don’t you go to Do-hwang with that?”

“Even if he’s my senior, he’s weaker than me, so he should come here himself.”

“Ah.”

I understand.
