Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 56 – Fear in the Water (02)

‘The Tenth Ceremony of the Jade Blade’

It spins its body and destroys everything caught in its sword.

The basic technique is the same as Simcheoldan, but instead of cutting at the bottom of your feet like in

, You are cutting by extending the sword far away and swinging it.

‘Elder Hwangeom’

The silver sword stuck in my shoulder and the harpoon stuck in Somafu were shattered, and Ha Ha-in, including his self-defense weapon and his young armor, was cut into two pieces by me.

Gurgling…!

The water that had been pushed out by exploding the self-defense device soon began to pour down and return to its original state, but the harpoon that was already stuck in my shoulder was pulled out and I grabbed Somafu, and hahahahagin was defeated by me as his waist was cut off.

[Monster…!]

In order to fight against the torrent created by the water rushing into the empty vacuum space, I had to hold on to the riverbed by hugging Somafu and using my cheongeunchu.

Gurrr…

And when the torrent ended, Ha Ha-in’s body had disappeared without a trace.

“Puh-ha!”

No matter how much of a martial artist he was, he could not live without breathing.

After fighting for almost 5 minutes without even taking a breath, I felt dizzy and felt like I would collapse at any moment from lack of oxygen.

“Cough!”

However, Somafu, who had not dived for at most a minute, was hit in the stomach by hahahahagin and drank water. Due to the torrent I created, he was unable to get out right away and was still drinking water.

He was still spitting out water while leaning on my shoulder, and seeing blood seeping out of his mouth, it seemed like his internal injuries had gotten even more serious.

“I said I’d finish it soon, so why did you come in…!”

Even if Somafu wasn’t there, we would have won.

Of course, Ha Ha-in must have been paying attention and wasted time, but the result was like now, he pushed away the water with his self-defense skills, approached in a vacuum, and cut it in two with one sword.

My shoulder hurt a little more and I was a little short of breath, but the results didn’t change.

Instead, she was able to handle it a little faster thanks to her being the bait and her Socheonma hitting with her javelin.

“Ha… I heard nothing good will happen if you just come into the water.”

I caught my breath, hugged the unconscious Somafu, and stepped onto the water.

Snap.

If she were alone, she could stand without the water even touching her toes, but as she was holding the soaked woman in her arms, her feet were half submerged in the water.

“Anyway, you don’t really listen to what I say.”

Wiping away the blood that had flowed from the corner of her mouth, she held Somafu and joined Somafu, who was running here.

This is how the unexpected close battle with the Black Moon Party executives came to an end.

* * *

Cheolpuk.

When I came up to the deck in a wet state, the sailors were looking at me and Somafu in my arms with surprised expressions.

The guys who just jumped off the deck and disappeared suddenly sink the boat, spend some time in the water, and come back soaked and wet with an explosion sound.

It would be a situation that even the sailors who were employed by the Sacheondang family and had seen many of the martial arts eccentricities could not understand.

“uuugh…!”

Socheonma was unable to open her water rain while carrying Somahu, probably due to her low skill level, and in the end, I had to carry her up to her boat.

“Her room?”

“I guided you here.”

Cheolpuk. Clap.

The expressions of the sailors in charge of cleaning the deck looked sour as their feet were soaked with water, but they could not argue with me, who had personally received the plaque from the head of the Dangchamun Gate of Sacheon Dangmun, so I could only sigh and move on.

After entering her room and checking her clothes to change into, I placed her somafu against one of her arms and began to undo the pus on her clothes.

Help.

“Wait, what are you doing!”

“I need to change my clothes. You’re wet, aren’t you?”

“Well, for that, you should have a fight or a female servant…”

“Where is the woman on this ship?”

Furthermore, last time, he changed his clothes in front of me, and he seemed like the type of person who doesn’t care about such things. If it wasn’t me or Socheonma, a family member, he should have changed, but since he was hesitant, I thought it would take an hour just to change, so I did. I was getting changed.

“Don’t worry. I won’t see it.”

“Hmm…”

I was skillfully taking off the clothes while making eye contact with Socheonma without focusing my attention on Somafu. In the past, when Samae was sick, I had to change her clothes myself, so this wasn’t a big deal.

“It’s done.”

Once I changed my clothes and laid Somafu down on the bed, I noticed that her complexion was turning blue.

‘Has the internal injuries gotten worse?’

When I looked into it, the movement of the blood vessels was very weakened, but something was writhing in the middle as if it were going to explode, and it seemed like the demonic energy was not able to settle properly and was running wild.

“You probably know more about magic than I do. What’s your current status?”

“It’s not good.”

“The method of treatment by injecting vertebral column blood or internal cavity…”

“When the Huahu Demonic Gong and the Heavenly Demonic Gong collide in the body, the body will rebel. The Heavenly Demonic Gong was not suitable for the woman’s body in the first place, so the martial arts that my mother personally modified and taught to my sister was the Huahu Demonic Gong… I also have detailed instructions, “I don’t even know the structure.”

In that case, Somahu might not be able to wake up from her internal injuries.

“I would have won if I had stayed still.”

“But it was easy thanks to my sister’s help.”

I couldn’t deny that.

“Isn’t that too sacrificial for a member of the Demonic Cult?”

“Because you are that kind of person.”

After wiping the water droplets from Somahu’s face, I shook her head and lifted her up.

I don’t know enough about Hwahu Demon Gong to carelessly interrogate and treat it, and I thought that if even Socheonma couldn’t try to treat it carelessly, I should leave it to the experts at Yakgok for now.

“I’m going in a hurry. I’ll tell you to shorten the time heading to Hubei, even if it’s unreasonable.”

“Is there a place to get treatment? A famous doctor or something…”

“…I’ll take you to one of the most famous lawmakers in the central office.”

“Are we going to the Murim Alliance in the end…?”

I smiled while patting the anxious Socheonma on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry.”

Because she is no longer a member of the Murim Alliance.

* * *

The road to Yakgok was not that difficult.

Just follow the road leading to the shaman faction and enter Yakgok through the split road in the middle.

Rather, the road we had previously taken lightly with Jeonryong was a back hole, and now we arrived through the standard route, so there were no problems.

However, if Somafu’s appearance was shown to other lawmakers, problems could arise.

Yakgok was, at least formally, under the protection of the shaman faction, and even if we did not encounter the shaman faction’s warriors, if a woman who looked like a westerner was treated for an internal injury here, the Murimmaeng would have been immediately aware of our whereabouts.

So, near Yakgok, I carried Soma Hu and Socheon Ma climbed the cliff with her mask on and entered the hospital room where Lord Bugok of Yakgok resided.

“It’s funny to suddenly barge in and ask for this, but…”

Sharp.

“Please do me a favor. Gyu Sojeo.”

I thought it was quite a nuisance since we arrived late at night, but there was nothing we could do about it.

‘Even a doctor other than Gyu Sojeo would provide treatment due to the characteristics of Yakgok, which is a neutral group…’

If a doctor or another patient sees Somafu’s appearance and leaks information to the Murim Alliance, the rumor will naturally also flow to the Ganja of the Black Moon Party.

If the assassination of Socheonma and Somahu failed, I didn’t know what they would do, so the transfer of these two people had to be kept as secret as possible.

It may not be confirmed as a rumor that a Westerner stopped by here, but if it were a blond-haired, red-eyed female expert who had reached the peak of magic while treating her internal injuries, Black Moon Party would naturally recognize that it was Somahu.

In such a situation, when she arrived near Yakgok, Soma Hu could not open his eyes for a while and was dying due to internal injuries, unable to even swallow honey water, so she invaded like this because it was urgent.

Gyu Wol-hyang, who was previously called Saengbong (牲 鳳) among the five dragons and seven peaks because she sacrificed herself to save people, followed the sound with eyes covered with a cloth, turned her head, groped the bed, and looked at the patient I had laid down. I started examining my body.

“……”

She didn’t ask me what was wrong, why she had to treat herself, or why she didn’t go to another doctor.

She was just quietly examining her post-soma blood vessels with her unfocused eyes closed.

“The internal injuries are serious… And they’re still getting worse. I’m not very knowledgeable, so I can’t be sure, but… It looks like a magic attack…”

“Is there any way to recover?”

When Socheonma, who was standing guard outside the window, could not bear it and asked, Gyu Sojeo looked startled and seemed to be wary of the intruder, but then he slightly turned his gaze towards me and continued speaking as if relieved.

“It’s not fatal. If it takes too long, it could be dangerous…”

“Please! Please save my sister…”

“Thousand. Be sparing with your words.”

“Ugh… I’m sorry.”

Here, she warned him that he could not be called Socheonma, so he called her Cheon, and it seemed like this guy was quite worried about his sister.

Soger Gyu took out a small box from under his bed with fumbling hands and took out a brilliantly shining golden needle inside.

“It was originally used by Lord Gok… But this time…”

Since the owner of the grain had died anyway, the owner of the grain kept it with her until her successor was determined.

According to the original plan, Sojeo Gyu should have been the head of Yakgok, but since he is currently blind, it was decided that proper treatment would be impossible, and I heard that a secret struggle is taking place among the lawmakers to decide on the next head of the medicine.

This is what I heard when Cheongsang, who still had some stamina left on his way out of Yakgok, explained various situations.

But as expected, perhaps it was her eyesight that was the problem, and she was waiting for something, holding the needle container containing the golden needle with her trembling hands.

“Sir. Could you… Share some of your inner skills with me?”

“Naegong?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“Yes. Just a little… At least two years’ worth of endurance.”

When I forcibly transformed her, I used my inner energy to awaken her, so I guess she’s compatible…

‘You’re probably asking for it because you need it.’

Anyway, all I had left over was my inner energy, so I placed a jangsim on Sojeo Gyu’s back and put a quarter of the space, or 15 years’ worth of inner energy, into her body.

I could have given more, but since she is not a martial artist, it might be a burden, so I gave her an appropriate amount.

If she is an experienced martial artist, she can use only 2 years worth of internal energy, but as a beginner, you need to give her plenty so she can use it without worrying about running out. If you give her too much, her body will not be able to handle it, so keep it at a moderate level for 15 years. I calculated it.

“Ah… Ah…”

Then, due to the effect of Cheongshim Glass Ball, which is imbued with snow ginseng and cold air, Gyu Sojeo’s hair began to turn white as if frost had set in, and Gyu Sojeo, who had been controlling his inner energy while muttering Cheongshim Glass Ball’s phrase for a while, removed his eye patch. Pulled down.

“As expected… When you receive the practitioner’s inner energy, your eyesight temporarily returns…”

Under the moonlight, the silver-colored eyes were in proper focus unlike before.

But I still couldn’t see clearly, and only the outlines of objects were blurry.

As if that was enough, Gyu Soje fixed his shining eyes on Somafu and opened the lid of the needle box.

“Then… We will begin full-scale treatment.”

Gyu So I untied the clothes of Soma Hu, who was lying down, turned her body over, made her lie face down, and began to stick needles into Soma Hu’s white back, which was revealed by the moonlight.

[Is it effective?]

[Of course. If you look at her skills alone, this is Yakgok… No, she is one of the best medical women in the martial arts world.]

Even though her eyes were blurry, she was judging the blood flow level with the sensation and knowledge felt at her fingertips and inserting the needle into the correct location. Even in the sight of me and Socheonma, who were watching the flow of energy, the body after Soma gradually appeared. It was to the point where you could see the Hwahu Magong, which was running wild, sinking.

Only after a total of 36 golden needles of hers were stuck into Soma Hu’s back like her hedgehog did Gyu Soje release her own hand.

“It’s over…”

Meanwhile, sweat was flowing from Gyu Soje’s body and her hair was sticking to her cheeks, and the energy I had given her was running out and the focus was quickly disappearing from her eyes.

Somafu’s breathing had already returned comfortably, and the wild energy that had been running wild was now calmly asleep, flowing gently through her body like ordinary internal energy.

“It looks like the crisis has been passed…”

“I will never forget this favor. Thank you!”

Boom!

Socheonma gave up her pride and thanked Gyu Sojeo for saving her sister by burying her head in it. But for no reason, Gyu Sojeo seemed to be startled by loud noises, so she used her energy to pressure her to moderate it and gave her notice. He pushed her into the room next to her that Cheongsang was using.

“Hmm…! It’s late at night, so I’ll explain in detail tomorrow. Thank you, Sojeo Gyu.”

“No. If it is the practitioner’s request… No, there is no time between day and night for a critically ill patient…”

“Huh… Is that so…?”

When I thought that Somafu was alive, the fatigue that I had been putting off began to come to me.

Immediately, these Socheonma and Somahu attacked, so I ran like I was dying from Yakgok and entered the Kunlun Sect. From there, to get these guys out, I ran to Sacheon and got on a boat and fought with the Black Moon Party…

‘No matter how advanced the expert is, it would be difficult to force a march like this…’

It was late at night, so I said hello to Sojeo Gyu and tried to share a room with Socheonma so that he could rest…

“……Um…”

I couldn’t bear to turn away from Sojeo Gyu, who was reaching out his hand toward where I was, as if he was somewhat anxious.

“I’ll hold you there until you feel safe.”

As I held her hand, Gyu Sojeo’s nervous expression seemed to relax and she smiled slightly, so I ended up holding her hand until she regained her composure.

‘I guess I’ll have to postpone my sleep a little longer…’
