Surviving as a Rival in a Martial Arts Novel

Chapter 82 – Battle of Heaven (03)

Wow……

The shouting was gradually quieting down.

Because no one should interfere with a full-scale duel between warriors, the Murim Alliance masters stationed in the middle were showing off their power and preventing people from making noise.

The warriors whose power could be ignored were concentrating their minds and trying to watch the Battle of Heavenly Destiny, while the rest were suppressed by that power and quietly watched the battle unfolding before their eyes.

‘It’s a system that’s not as bad as you think’

“Nice to meet you, Master Ok.”

“This is the place. It makes me nervous to have a famous warrior in front of me.”

After greeting politely, Cheongsang drew out his sword, and his teacher also took out his Cheonggang sword and assumed the stance of Cheongshim Yuri Sword Technique.

‘Cheongsang is a skill that belongs to the upper class even at its peak. Although the Master is a first-class extreme, he has not undergone a complete transformation, so he is different from a peak master.’

Cheongshim Glass Sword Technique and Cheongshim Glass Gong were not outstanding martial arts in terms of accomplishment, so in a situation where the teacher was at an overwhelming disadvantage, the teacher was showing Jeonryong two fingers outstretched.

“As a senior, I will give up Lee Cho-sik.”

“Then I will not decline.”

Cheongsang glanced this way, raised his sword, and performed the Taeeul Sword Technique.

He meant that he wouldn’t pay attention from the beginning, but he seemed to think it would be better to win the match quickly rather than humiliate the teacher by fighting for a long time.

“The first type of Taeeul Sword Technique. Taeeul Guseong Sword (太乙九惺劍).”

It’s fast. And it’s sophisticated.

Perhaps his level has risen further than when he used the Taeeul Sword Technique next to me in the past, and even with the Taeeul Gusung Sword, the one-choice type of the Taeeul Sword Technique, he was showing a stronger and more powerful form than the two-choice Taeeul Oxide Sword he had previously used.

But in my opinion, unlike back then when we were fighting together to save Gyu Sojeo, Cheongsang’s sword now had no power.

‘You’re being forced to participate.’

Are you hesitating because you have no desire to find out the title of the Dragon Dragon yourself and are thinking about going against me, whom you are close with?

At that time, his swordsmanship was incomparably weak compared to the swordsmanship used to cut down the Blackwoldang’s real-life souls like radishes in Yakgok, and the master had to give up the two choshiks, so he raised his sword to block the attack.

Teeing!

Master’s expression hardened at the heavy blue suit’s inner strength, but his posture did not break.

“My transplant. Taeeul oxide sword.”

Immediately afterwards, Lee Cho-sik flew in, but Master once again blocked the attack with difficulty, and at that moment, Cheongsang stepped back and widened the distance.

It looked slow and tense because it was drawn because it was a dance of the right faction, but from my perspective, the teacher’s body looked dangerous, like a sand castle standing in front of waves the size of a house.

“Phew. As expected, he is a great martial artist, worthy of being a famous dragon among the five dragons.”

“That’s too much praise.”

“But it’s not at a level that I can’t deal with.”

Cheongsang’s eyebrows furrowed at those words.

“Come again. This time I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Cheongsang grabbed his sword and rushed towards the teacher.

This time too, a similar Taeeul sword technique was used. At first, it looked like a Taeeul oxidized sword, but in the middle, the sword quickly swung to aim for the head, and the change made it look like the Taeeul sword method, a three-second method that I did not know.

If this goes on, even if his head is not cut off, his beard will be cut off and he will have no choice but to admit defeat. Master grabbed his Qinggang sword with both hands.

“Glass colored light sword.”

It’s been a long time.

This is the most powerful martial art in the Cheongshim Glass Sword Technique, and it was an ignorant technique that involved putting all of one’s inner strength into the sword.

When a sword with overflowing internal power uses it, light, or an effect that can be called sword energy, emanates from the sword, but the teacher’s internal power is very shallow, so it only adds a haze-like effect to the surface of the sword.

And that was enough.

Kaaang!

As swords clashed in the air, Cheongsang took five steps back and Master took two steps back.

It was ridiculous.

In a fight between fighters, inner strength is the strength, so it was basic for the stronger one to push the opponent away even if the weight or height were two or three times different.

However, Master, who now had less than half of Cheongsang’s internal strength, took two steps back, and Cheongsang took five steps back. Judging by the red marks left on his lips, he was even weak but internally injured.

“Ugh…!”

“I tried my best, but it still doesn’t work.”

Clink.

It is the teacher who won the decision in a single strike, but the sword of Cheongsang was a famous sword that the Kunlun faction put a lot of effort into making for their warriors, and the teacher was an ordinary sword of Cheonggang.

Furthermore, the durability of the sword was eroded by the glass-colored sword, which was struck ignorantly and without skill, so the master had no choice but to abstain as the sword broke.

Of course, it doesn’t seem that way from the perspective of the people watching the market.

“Phew…”

As someone who had been worried that an accident might occur while playing with Cheongsang just a moment ago, I could not help but sigh in relief and admire him at the same time.

It was great. He was also our teacher.

Despite the difference in level, he showed something, and it was a refreshing twist to those who had ignored Jeonryong until now because he was pushed out of fame.

Perhaps this was a shameful victory and running away.

“I’m sorry. You lost.”

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

The Master threw the broken sword to the edge of the off-stage and returned to his seat, and Cheongsang, who had been forcibly defeated, came out and looked at the Master, biting his blood-oozing lip.

“Ugh……”

He may have a lot to say, but right now he is not in a position to listen.

“Seonbong, Jeonryong, Hwangeumdosa, Cheongsang’s victory!”

Wow……

At that moment, cheers erupted belatedly, but when it came to judging, the teacher had the upper hand, so people’s reactions were somewhat lukewarm.

‘If you actually keep fighting, even if the sword is intact, Master will be defeated.’

If Choshik was used in the latter part of the full-fledged Taeeul Sword Technique, the teacher would be defeated without even using his hand, but Cheongsang took a look and got a blow.

Of course, people watching Bimu will not accept such a situation.

“Then, Chabong! Geombong Eunryeomilgeom Hansoso!”

Waaa-!!

It was definitely a shout that could not be compared to that of a fight between dull men.

Although Han So-so was a worse version of the story, she is not a bad beauty in her own way. It’s because my personality is a bit dirty.

And since the person being put forward here was also a beauty in her own way, the people’s cheers were getting louder.

“Chabon of the challenger, Cheonbong Jinang wise woman Jegal Yeonji!”

Along with the voice of the Shaolin temple priest watching the proceedings, voices expressing doubt began to flow from the audience.

Why? Is the Murim Alliance’s trickster on the side of the challenger?

To be honest with her, we knew it when we arrived and it was true that we were embarrassed to see her seated at the participation magnet.

When the two female masters appeared, people were watching the off-stage, expecting to see what kind of beautiful martial arts skills the beauties would fight with.

‘Jegal Yanji will abstain right away anyway’

In the first place, she has no combat power. Although she has mastered martial arts, she is limited to the bare minimum for self-defense, so if she is caught by a properly trained swordsman, she will be cut within five seconds.

“Chabongjeon… Begin!”

At the same time as the host shouted, Zhuge Yanji raised her hand. In a way, it was natural.

We didn’t expect it either, and among her audience, there were quite a few people who roughly guessed that she had no combat power because she was a trickster.

The surprising fact is…

Roaring, roaring……

It is said that on stage, not one Soso expressed his intention to abstain by raising his hand without drawing his sword.

The Murim Lord’s expression hardens as he sees Han Soso’s reaction.

“Why? I said clearly that I didn’t want to participate. And they even warned me to do it myself if they put me on a non-stage.”

I had no idea that Han Soso, with his dirty temper, would be of such help to us.

To be honest, I thought the Battle of Chabong would be futile because Zhuge Yanji would surrender as soon as it started, but I never thought it would turn out to be in our favor like this.

“What is it?”

“Is Geombong dissatisfied with the Murim Lord?”

“Isn’t that Chilbong over there too?”

“No, isn’t the Thousand Peaks standing over there… What is the Lord of the Murim Alliance? He said he would make the Five Dragons Seven Peaks, but he can’t manage it like that?”

Distrust was sprouting among the people.

In a way, it is easier to shake the Murim Lord’s face by having Han Soso abstain from the fight than by a powerful person sent from this side overwhelmingly crushing the opponent.

‘I didn’t know that that sh*tty personality would help us’

Because it was in front of people, the Murim Lord was not even able to get angry and was trying hard to hide his exploits, but his daughter, Mu Bong-man, an expert at Chojeumjeong, guessed that her father was uncomfortable.

“Bio declares the Cha Bong match a draw!”

As the Cha Bong match ended in a draw and people’s attention began to get worse, the host was urgently moving on to the next match.

“Then next is the mid-level battle! The new iron dragon who took the place of the sword dragon! Ban Gyu-seong from the iron core!”

Waaah–!

When the Iron Dragon Ban Gyu-seong, who is said to be the most popular these days, appeared on the off-stage, people’s distrust and dissatisfaction disappeared as if they were washed away, and cheers that could not be compared to before were heard.

And against that, we…

“The challenger’s leader! So… Name unknown, please call me an unknown swordsman…”

“Isn’t it a sword dragon?”

“Is that black sword with broad shoulders the sword dragon Namgungjeon?”

“And even his gait is that of a sword dragon, right?”

There was no way he could disguise his identity with a cheap mask on a black iron sword whose paint had already peeled off.

Especially among those who have seen the sword dragon to some extent in the Murim Alliance.

Furthermore, as he raised his black iron sword and took a stance, anyone could see that he was ready for the King’s Invincible Sword Lecture.

“Prince Nangong. What is that…”

I’m even looking into the tactless iron-headed Ban Gyu-seong…

“It’s not a sword dragon.”

He would rather stay still. Seeing the way he was being stabbed for no reason, not only me but also Cheonbong and Zhuge Yanji touched their foreheads.

“A fool who only knows the sword…”

Well, martial arts is trustworthy.

‘Even including the draw, we are currently one game behind, so we have to win everything from Namgungjeon to Seolhwa to me to achieve victory.’

Thinking like that, I focused my attention on Namgungjeon’s huge back.

“Let the mid-level battle begin!”
