Chapter 290
Chapter 290. The Right to Hold Opportunity (6)
According to my expectations, while moving together with my junior disciples, the highest level of Zhongnan disciple we could easily subdue without killing and without causing a commotion was up to Second-Generation Disciple.
That was why I had hoped we would not encounter anyone at the level of First-Generation Disciple or above.
‘Is this seriously happening?’
……Hall Master-level, of all things.

The heavy swords of the two middle-aged men were pointed steadily in our direction.
“Come out.”

They were merely pointing their swords, yet it felt suffocating, as though I had met a solid wall.
“Do you intend to come out only after these people die?”
There was no need to ask whom he was speaking to.
In the end, Geum-pyo, Eun-ho, and Sa-ryeon, who had been waiting at the rear of the cave, slowly walked forward.

“You seem too young to throw away your lives in a place like this.”
Could he roughly judge their ages from their height and movements even though their faces were covered with masks?
His eye for people showed the depth of experience.
He sighed as though he truly found it regretful.

Then he looked back and forth between me and my junior disciples and said,
“If that man threatened you and dragged you here, say so now.”

The middle-aged man’s finger pointed toward me.
“…….”
“…….”
Then my junior disciples’ gazes also turned toward me.
“Do not worry. I am a man of Zhongnan. I will not lose to some old monster.”
I could tell what kind of dog-like misunderstanding he had made.

No matter how fine my body was, was it not too much to call a young man past twenty an old monster?
Eun-ho flinched for a moment, but when the junior disciples ultimately did not lower their swords, the middle-aged man shook his head.
“So you are all accomplices after all?”
“Those children surely did not enter without knowing Zhongnan was here.”
“In that case, this is laughable. They entered despite knowing of Zhongnan’s presence?”
For some reason, a sneer suddenly appeared on the face of the middle-aged man who had seemed so sympathetic.

“I did not think blood would be shed in this matter.”
“Cheon-ji. Be careful. That move just now was no ordinary one.”

“Hall Master, you should be the one to be careful.”
The moment I heard the name “Cheon-ji,” I could not help furrowing my brow.
‘Of all people to meet…….’
Among Zhongnan’s people at present, the only one who used the name Cheon-ji was Gun Cheon-ji, who would later be called the Zhongnan Flying Tiger.

For a moment, I even suspected that he might have been the mysterious master chasing us from behind.
However.
-Eldest Senior Brother.
There was no time to lose focus.

Whether the tiger den I had entered happened to be a cub’s den or an adult tiger’s den, being bitten would be the same if I failed to gather my wits.
-You take the middle-aged man on the right.
Е ńum̌ а̂. і̇ d
The instructions was simple.
I would take Gun Cheon-ji, and my junior disciples would take the other one.
And until I returned, they had to endure it completely.
The problem was how quickly I could subdue Gun Cheon-ji.
Shashashasha—
I stepped with the Taeul Eighty-Thousand Divine Steps, avoided the middle-aged man charging toward me, and rushed at Gun Cheon-ji.

Clang—
After we exchanged one sword strike, amusement appeared on Gun Cheon-ji’s face.
“Ho…… Old sir, are you my opponent?”
His sword occupied all directions and blocked the Black Dragon Sword.
It was simple and clear, but precisely because of that, there were no openings.
But more than anything else.
Еn ûm̄а̊
“Who are you calling old sir!”
After my regression, I had never forgotten that I had once been old, but it was still unfair to be treated like an old man in this young body!

As I surged forward like lightning—
“Hm?!”
Gun Cheon-ji’s eyes widened as he blocked the Minor Heaven Sword Art.
He looked even more surprised than when he had blocked the ambush just now.
Еn̂ û ḿа̄. і̂ d̀
What was he so surprised abou—
“Y-You are younger than me?”
Damn it.
Seeing him truly shocked only made me angrier.

If this had been a strategy to provoke the opponent, I would have had no choice but to admire it.
Clang clang clang clang clang—
Ẁ e̊b̆n̊о v е l̇ En̂ u mа̃
In any case, I tried to stab his Vital Acupoints while he was flustered, but Gun Cheon-ji blocked every strike of the Black Dragon Sword with agile movements.
Gun Cheon-ji looked once at his own sword, then stared at me with eyes that still seemed unable to believe it.
“How old are you?”
Did he think an opponent wearing a mask and dressed in black martial robes would reveal such a thing so easily?
Instead of answering, I gathered Sword Qi into the Black Dragon Sword and shot it out.
Whoosh!

The sharply launched Sword Qi flew toward Gun Cheon-ji’s neck, heart, and Dantian. Gun Cheon-ji, who had been staring blankly, did not retreat but advanced and swung his sword.
Bang— Babang!
Ordinarily, it was proper for a swordsman to deflect most Sword Qi, yet Gun Cheon-ji fired new Sword Qi toward the Sword Qi I had sent and dissolved it.
He did not block and absorb the impact, but dissolved external force with external force.
It was a glimpse of just how high a principle he had already reached.
‘Is he a fully grown tiger?’
Èn̄ ū m̀ а. і̂d̆
If it was the Zhongnan Flying Tiger of the Special Operations Unit, then even among Demonic Practitioners, he was one of the opponents they found quite troublesome.
While we were being stabbed at the front, the activities of the Special Operations Unit ambushing the Demonic Cult from the rear had been effective enough to more than compensate for the damage we suffered.

The problem was how different Gun Cheon-ji’s current skill was from the level of Gun Cheon-ji I knew in my previous life.
If his skill had already reached the level of the Zhongnan Flying Tiger Gun Cheon-ji, then there would be no way to subdue him in time.
I could only hope that the man called Hall Master had obtained his position through personal connections and politics rather than skill.
I created thirty Illusion Swords, then hid eight real sword strikes among them and thrust them in.

“Illusion Swords?!”
Gun Cheon-ji briefly twisted his brow, then gripped his sword with both hands and assumed a middle stance.
The heavy and massive sword art unfolding from his hands was Zhongnan’s most famous martial art, the Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven.
It was also the sword art most commonly used when facing Mount Hua, the famed house of Variation and Illusion.

Tadadang— Tadadang— Tadadang—
As though a massive shield had blocked my path, Gun Cheon-ji blocked all of the Illusion Swords and real swords, with only his breathing slightly disturbed.
Е̃ ňů.m̀ а̂
‘As expected, is he familiar with Illusion Swords because of Mount Hua?’
Zhongnan and Mount Hua, both based in Shaanxi, were old acquaintances and competitors.
It was not an intentionally formed structure, but because each sect had grown its power while being conscious of the other, even their martial arts had developed in ways that grasped each other’s weaknesses.
If Mount Hua’s sword art was so aggressive that it could be called elegant and bewitching, then Zhongnan’s was defensive, solid, and heavy.
In particular, the Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven was the sword art that most clearly showed Zhongnan’s character among Zhongnan’s many martial studies.
For those like the Taeul Sect, who used Variation and Illusion, he was an opponent one would not wish to meet.

“Your sword is quite heavy. Those who use Variation and Illusion usually swing more lightly. Are you putting too much strength into it?”
He had enough leisure to analyze martial arts even in this urgent situation?
Well, I was the same.
Even so, it was deeply unpleasant.
“Then analyze this as well!”
I fired the Minor Heaven Sword Art with the Black Dragon Sword while stretching out my left hand and unfolding the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist.
Е̄ n̆ǔm̀ а̂
Whoosh—
Perhaps intending to dissolve the Sword Qi flying in as though tearing through the air first, Gun Cheon-ji clashed with the first Sword Qi.

At that moment.
Bababang—
Gun Cheon-ji’s face twisted.
“What is this……!”
Ĕn û m̂ ā
A look of dismay appeared on his face.
Of course it would.
How much Internal Qi did he think I had poured into that Sword Qi?
Thuuung— Thuuung—

Gun Cheon-ji’s hand, which had tried to dissolve the Sword Qi as before, flew backward as though it had been knocked away.
And into that gap, the Fist Qi of my fist, shooting like an arrow, burrowed in.
Еn umа . і_d
Thud-thud-thud-thud, thud-thud-thud-thud—
He madly thrust out the Blue Cloud Heavenly River Hand and tried to dissolve the Ten Thousand Transformations Invincible Fist, but in the end, he failed to avoid several blows and suffered effective hits.
“Keugh……”
Gun Cheon-ji retreated two steps, and I once again drove the Minor Heaven Sword Art into him.
Whoooosh—
The Black Dragon Sword shot out like a flash of lightning and wrapped around Gun Cheon-ji’s sword like a serpent, diverting its force.

Just as I pierced through his Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven and was about to land another effective blow—
Riiip—
“……!”
The blade passed behind his back as he lowered his body to the extreme, tearing his martial robe.
It was clearly a movement I knew.
A method of extending the foot backward from a lowered position and attacking the opponent from a blind spot.
Wе̌ b n о̀v ě l̊ Еn̈ ŭ m̆ а́
‘Revolving Kick!’
It was unmistakably one of Gun Cheon-ji’s Ultimate Arts, the Revolving Kick.

Sure enough, the moment I raised my head, the sole of his foot was already right before me.
I hurriedly raised my left hand to block it.
Thud!
Even though the part covered by the Flying Dragon Claw absorbed the impact, my arm hurt as though it might break.
Ё n̊ um̈ a
Had it struck my head as intended, I certainly would have had difficulty staying conscious.
Using the recoil from kicking off my hand, he raised his body. Surprise appeared on his face.
“Ha! The Revolving Kick? What in the world is your identity?”
As he stood, his torn martial robe fluttered, and his gaze held a complicated look.

“Judging by your voice, you do not even seem to have reached thirty yet……. What sect raised someone like you?”
Should I at least be grateful that the Taeul Sect was a small-fry sect?
Е̃ n̊u mâ. і̇.d̀
Even when I tried turning my thoughts positively, it did not make me feel particularly pleasant.
Strength entered my sword of its own accord.
“Do you not understand the meaning of wearing a mask!”
Whoooosh—
I poured out the Minor Heaven Sword Art before I realized it, but perhaps his eyes had already grown accustomed to it, for Gun Cheon-ji blocked the Black Dragon Sword easily without any large movements.
Then I heard his bewildered voice.

“Do you still think you can break through us?”
I did not answer.
Because it was only natural that I would break through Gun Cheon-ji, and through Zhongnan.
Instead, I scattered the Great Heaven Sword Art while simultaneously driving in the Minor Heaven Sword Art.
However, there was still no sign that I could break through.
“……It seems you truly believe you can break through.”
W е bn о̄ v́ е̃l̈_ E̊ ňum а
Coldness seeped into Gun Cheon-ji’s voice.
There was a weight to it quite different from the voice he had used until now.

“Does Zhongnan seem that laughable to you?”
He looked like a tiger that had allowed a small rabbit to scratch it.
It was the typical anger of those with privilege, more enraged that their pride had been crumpled than by the pain of injury.
“So much so that children like you can recklessly approach it?”
Е́ n ûm̄a
Who knows. I did not know either.
After regressing, I had reached a higher position and gained stronger martial force than in my previous life, but the walls of the Nine Sects and One Gang and the Five Great Clans still looked high.
It was just that I had stopped caring, because I now knew those high walls would not protect me.
The current me was no longer the rabbit trembling before a tiger as I had been in my previous life.

When I still remained silent, the corner of his mouth twisted.
“Then I shall educate you properly.”
Е̂ n̂ ŭḿа̀ .і d
A tremendous energy gathered on his sword.
An energy greater and stronger than Sword Qi enveloped the blade.
“On just how vast and frightening an existence Zhongnan is.”
The man, who had until now spoken in the tone of a neighborhood elder soothing ignorant children, suddenly spoke in a voice dripping with coldness.
Truly, he was being pointlessly solemn.
“And on the fact that people like you do not even possess the right to challenge Zhongnan.”

His Killing Intent filled the small cave.
Meanwhile.
“Keuuuugh!”
A scream came from the side of my junior disciples as well.
When I turned my head—
“Hoo……!”
W̊ e b́ n о̆ v̈ е̇ l̄ Е̌n̂ u m̌a
“Hah, hah.”
Eun-ho had fallen to the ground with a wound near his shoulder, and the other junior disciples were fighting while protecting him.

Damn it. Was Zhongnan not a sect that selected Hall Masters through personal connections and politics?
Why were they being needlessly fair and competent?
“……This does not seem to be the time to worry about others.”
Perhaps displeased that I had briefly turned my gaze away, Gun Cheon-ji was even grinding his teeth.

His sword was filled with tremendous force, as though it might explode at any moment.
‘Great Heaven Force Sword.’
This was truly a disaster.
The Great Heaven Force Sword, called the heavy sword among heavy swords, was so overwhelmingly heavy that it even had the title of Heavenly Heavy Sword.

For ordinary people, merely receiving it would shatter their bodies, and even if they deflected it, they would not be able to dissolve all the impact. It was the worst kind of heavy sword.
And he was going to use that inside this narrow cave?
Еn̊üm а̌ .і̆ ḋ
As though knowing that my goal was subdual, he began using his hands boldly.
I focused my mind and steadied my breathing.
‘I will subdue him in one stroke!’
If my intention had been discovered, then I had to move faster.
I prepared the Shattering Form I had been saving until now.
In front of someone like Gun Cheon-ji, who had great experience in the murim and outstanding innate ability, using the Shattering Form itself would create another danger.

Who would want to leave alive someone who knew the weakness of their sect’s main martial art?
That was why I had never passed Jegal’s Three Forms to my junior disciples, and I myself also rarely used them unless circumstances demanded it.
This was something that required truly delicate psychological technique.
Gun Cheon-ji surged toward me with fierce momentum.
“Receive this as well!”
As I watched the heavy sword falling in a blue trajectory, I activated the Void-Annihilation Fist.
Ё núm̊ а
For an instant, I felt my Dantian empty, and the space to Gun Cheon-ji’s left began to distort.
“Huk!”

Startled by the presence of the Void-Annihilation Fist that had appeared without warning while he was swinging his sword, Gun Cheon-ji barely managed to withdraw the Great Heaven Force Sword.
And after withdrawing the Void-Annihilation Fist I had been extending, I immediately scattered the Minor Heaven Sword Art wildly toward Gun Cheon-ji.
Whoooosh—
A dozen or so Sword Qi flew toward his Vital Acupoints.

“What petty trickery!”
Though bewildered by the Void-Annihilation Fist, Gun Cheon-ji instinctively defended with the Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven.
And I—
unfolded the Shattering Form of the Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven, which I had been waiting for all this time.

The Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven completed an absolute defense by occupying the thirty-six directions beneath heaven.
I broke through the twenty-seventh direction of the third form, the only weakness in that absolute defense, and thrust in the Minor Heaven Sword Art.

It was not the sharpest, nor the fastest, but it was enough to extend the sword with precision.
At times, moderate strength was the most accurate strength.
Stab!
The sensation of my sword piercing through flesh traveled to my fingertips.
Gun Cheon-ji, whose Thirty-Six Sword Arts under Heaven had been broken before he realized it, wore an expression of utter disbelief.
“Keuhk! ……How?”

Even as he looked at the Black Dragon Sword that had pierced deep into his shoulder, he looked back and forth between me and the sword with eyes that said he could not understand.
Why are you so surprised?
Slash—
I pulled out the embedded Black Dragon Sword and grinned.
“Because I have the right to challenge you.”
