26.
“You, you didn’t drink the alcohol!”
The Captain of the Guard who had leaped back shouted with a face flushed red and blue.
“Huh? No? I did drink it though?”
“You drank alcohol mixed with paralyzing poison and you’re still fine? …Don’t tell me you’re from the Sichuan Tang Family!”
“Why suddenly the Sichuan Tang Family?”
It’s not that poison doesn’t work because I’m from the Sichuan Tang Family, but because I’m an ordinary Chojejung master.
He was quite imaginative.
I drew my sword once more and charged toward the babbling man.
Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, Chapter 1.
First Tide Resolution (Chojohae-mun).
Sword strikes with irregular rhythm like waves came rushing as I drew my blade. The Captain of the Guard deflected them all without showing any sign of surprise and shouted.
“Strike the hands and feet of nearby guests and join formation!”
“Oh my, you’re going to face me with numbers? How cowardly, just like the Sapa.”
“Shut up! You’re the one being rude by not succumbing to the poison someone gave you!”
“?”
What’s the state of that logic?
While I hesitated, a bluish sword thrust in from behind.
“Ugh!”
I quickly flipped my body and the sword grazed past by a hair’s breadth. I rolled once on the ground and leaped up, stepping on a pillar.
Below, fifteen warriors had gathered with swords in an instant. Among them, only two could use sword qi.
One Chojejung swordsman, two at Jeoljeong level, and the rest are a ragtag bunch barely worthy of being called warriors?
This will be a piece of cake.
“Kkeuk!”
“Kraak!”
Two third-rate warriors whose heads I had stepped on screamed.
When I was at Jeoljeong level, I would have crushed them with simple leg strength, but now as a Chojejung, I can use more advanced techniques.
“Laser beam!”
Sword qi that shot out from my toes became a sharp blade and cut the third-rate warriors in half. The cut was so clean that their entrails spilled out.
“What…! A Chojejung!”
“Golden correct answer! I just expelled the poison naturally!”
Of course, being a Chojejung warrior doesn’t make one immune to all poisons. Deadly poisons used by the Tang Family or real demons seep into the dantian upon contact.
‘I survived because it was just light paralyzing poison.’
They’re obviously incompetent, so the poison used by such a ragtag bunch would only be at that level.
“He’s a Chojejung master! Everyone fall back and guard Danzu! Only Ilho and I will go.”
“Yes, big brother!”
The Captain of the Guard who had recognized my level leaped forward with a battle cry.
Seeing his faint sword qi, I let my sword hang loosely. The entire blade was wrapped in a qi membrane much sturdier than sword qi.
In the martial world, the difference of one level is greater than one might think. This was practically my first real combat since becoming Chojejung, but I felt a distinctly different perspective from before.
Jeoljeong warriors can’t defeat me.
“I’ve grasped all your levels. It’s so pathetic I want to die… Huh?”
“Who would have thought you’d hide your level.”
The Captain of the Guard’s sword was surrounded by solid sword membrane. He shouted confidently.
“However! We hid ours too!”
“Damn.”
To make matters worse, sword qi shot from behind. I quickly raised my qi like a defensive barrier, and immediately heard a sharp cracking sound. An awkward smile appeared on my lips.
“Ah, haha… So you weren’t mere Jeoljeong but two Chojejung masters?”
This is somewhat unexpected.
“Ugh.”
Before I could even turn around, a low and fast surprise attack from the man called Ilho struck. His attack, containing the essence of speed, was shallow and fast, instantly scattering one’s focus. On the other hand.
“Haap!”
The Captain of the Guard.
As I felt when he deflected all of Chojohae-mun earlier, the swordsmanship he uses is slow yet rough.
Unlike Ilho’s sword full of deception, it was a heavy sword containing pure killing intent.
I had a feeling these two had trained as partners from the beginning. Having broken through Ilho’s feint with a striking palm technique, I swung my sword from bottom to top.
Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, Chapter 2.
Crossing the Sea to Enter the Way (Wolhae-ipdo).
This chapter of the Moonlit Sea Sword Technique signifies when one who first entrusts their body to the flow of waves takes one more step to enter the path of the sea.
Unlike the irregular first chapter, it features heavy sword strikes that sweep upward from below. It was also one of only two heavy sword chapters in the Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, which leaned toward speed and flow.
Kagagagak!
My hands trembled under the crushing slash. I gritted my teeth and swung my foot toward the Captain of the Guard’s groin. The moment it would make contact, I imbued it with cutting sword qi.
“Huk!”
Feeling instinctive fear, he momentarily withdrew his sword to block my foot. In that gap, I leaped up and ran vertically up the ship’s pillar to stand atop the mast.
“Damn it! I’ll XXX that XXX right now!”
“Puhaha, if you can do it, then try!”
Of course, I don’t forget the provocation.
‘They’re skilled at coordinated attacks.’
It’s best to avoid fighting multiple opponents of equal skill whenever possible.
If unavoidable, you must shake them up by any means necessary. Anger is an excellent drug that paralyzes reason.
“Hey, Heukgeon! Don’t get excited. We’re surrounded by water anyway, so where could he run? Even a cornered rat will bite a cat.”
“Huu, that’s right…”
Hmm, no good.
The one called Ilho seems much calmer than the Captain of the Guard. I looked at the Captain of the Guard who had quickly calmed down and racked my brains.
So my conclusion was.
“Hey! Let me ask you one thing.”
Let’s buy some time first.
“What exactly are you people that you’re trying to kill the warriors you’re supposed to be escorting by knocking them all unconscious?”
“Kill?”
As expected.
Unlike his earlier pretense of being serious, the Captain of the Guard actually had a personality that enjoyed chattering.
“We weren’t trying to kill you, but for our Order’s grand plan! Especially well-trained warriors like you make good materials.”
“Oho.”
“So if you cooperate quietly-“
“Heukgeon! Stop the unnecessary talk.”
“What’s the harm? He’s going to have his meridians severed in a few moves anyway.”
“Tch.”
Ilho, who had been stopping the Captain of the Guard, clicked his tongue and leaped up toward the ship’s pillar.
That was my aim.
Swoosh!
Having shed my cumbersome outer robe to be in just my undergarments, I swung my sword wide and destroyed the ship’s pillar. The log, unable to withstand the released sword qi, was cleanly severed. Ilho, who had reached where I had been standing just moments before, staggered.
“Kkeuk!”
In that gap, I grabbed a soy sauce dish from the table and charged toward the Captain of the Guard in a horizontal rush.
Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, Chapter 3.
Strengthening the Heart in Waves (Pasim-ryeongang).
The third chapter of Moonlit Sea Sword Technique and the final heavy sword technique. It means to sink beneath the swaying waves and train one’s heart.
There’s no swordsmanship more suitable for facing heavy swords than this,
“Not!”
“Ugh?!”
Having delivered a heavy feint, I splashed the soy sauce in my left hand into the Captain of the Guard’s eyes.
A gap appeared as his vision was momentarily blocked. Though it lasted only a few tenths of a second, in the world beyond Chojejung, even such brief openings are significant.
Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, Chapter 4.
Moonlit Sea Soul Chase.
Reading the opponent’s subtle movements, I flow like water and pierce through the gaps.
The moment the Captain of the Guard drew his next breath, my sword energy was already piercing his vital point. He tried to quickly twist his neck to dodge, but it was already too late.
Slash!
Blood burst from his neck, cut by about a finger’s width. When you slice through a warrior’s blood vessels that flow more vigorously than an ordinary person’s, you can witness an even more spectacular sight. Having been splattered with warm blood all over my face, I licked my tongue.
‘Blood Sect?’
If it were simple Sapa blood, it wouldn’t have such an intensely bitter taste.
It’s subtly different from Makyō as well. I struck down with my sword once more at the Captain of the Guard who was grasping his own neck and trying to stop the bleeding with sword energy.
That’s when it happened.
“You bastard! How dare you harm my friend!”
“Whoa.”
Ilho, red with fury, swiftly thrust forward.
Each attack that was difficult to follow with the eyes was entirely lethal. My heart sank as I performed a spinning back kick and made a half turn in the air.
‘Ugh…’
Though I managed to kick the Captain of the Guard’s stomach once more with my sword energy-infused foot, my thigh was deeply cut in the process. I put on a brave front and smirked.
“So even Sapa scum like you have something called friendship? But what to do? It looks like he’s on the verge of death from the kick I just gave him?”
“Shut up, brat!”
Thwack.
Ilho and I simultaneously charged at each other. The flowing sword energy I had maintained until now instantly transformed into something solid like a spear and flew forward.
Moonlit Sea Sword Technique, Chapter 5.
Severing Darkness, Guiding Light.
Like a single ray of light shooting up through the darkness of the deep sea.
Unlike the previous chapters, the fifth chapter of the Moonlit Sea Sword Technique has no feints. Developed solely to kill an opponent in one strike, the light flickering within the rolling waves broke through Ilho’s sword barrier.
“Cough, h-how, could this be…”
Ilho’s chest, having lost his partner to protect him, was pierced by my sword. When I slowly turned the sword half a rotation after it struck precisely in his heart, he died instantly without even letting out a death cry.
‘He’s dead.’
I checked his pulse with my left hand to confirm his death, then kicked the corpse. As I pulled out the sword, filthy blood soaked my undergarments.
Swoosh.
I turned the blade half a rotation to shake off the blood and shifted my gaze.
All that remained in the devastated ship were outsiders who had fallen asleep after consuming the paralyzing poison. Since I couldn’t kill innocent victims, I dragged them all to one side of the ship.
“Phew, finished with business here.”
My steps became light as I dusted off my hands. Having killed the Chojejung pair I needed to be most wary of, what remained was a ragtag bunch.
Simply put, this ship had become my playground.
“Come here~”
Bang!
When I kicked down the door leading to the cabin, I could sense trembling presences.
Drip. Drip.
With each step, blood pooled in my clothes dripped down. I swept back my hair tangled with blood, oil, and dust, then grabbed a man hiding behind the door.
“Hiiiek!”
“I’ll give you three seconds. Tell me where that Patriarch bastard is. Three, two…”
“Below! He should be on the very bottom floor! Please spare me!”
