< Episode 96 Sword (6) >
“The old man will ask for forgiveness like this. “I will do whatever you want, so please have mercy.”
‘!!!!!!’
There was silence for a moment.
Everyone looked at Zhou Gu Tianmu with faces of great shock.
How can this happen?
The owner of Yeonggeom Lodge, a sacred place for swords, and a member of the Six Heavens, said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world, not only cut off his arm, but even knelt down.
‘······This is not it.’
‘Is it really because of the second Confucius?’
‘Isn’t this no different from declaring defeat?’
Only then did the inspectors at Yeonggeom Lodge and even the guests begin to wonder about this.
No matter how precious his son was, it was impossible for a warrior who was called the pinnacle to lose face so easily.
Could it be that you have decided that no matter what you choose, you cannot do anything?
It was a time when everyone was speechless from shock.
-Park!
At that time, Gu Yeon-soo, the youngest, hurriedly came over to me, bowed down, and said.
“O Lord of the Holy Fire. I too will pray like this. Please have mercy!”
“Confucius!”
The inspectors of Yeonggeom Lodge shouted in anger at Gu Yeon-su’s actions.
It was frustrating to even see Jangju look like that in front of the guests. What could he possibly be doing?
But this was not the end.
-Park!
The owner, Gu Woong-Hwang, also came next to him, knelt down and bowed his head.
And he spoke in a solemn voice.
“If you find it difficult to stop your anger, I, as the successor to this chapter, will present my head in front of everyone. Lord, please have mercy and end this here.”
“no?”
“Why are you doing this to me?”
Those watching couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
Why would Gu Tianmu and his family, who are said to be the best in the world when it comes to swords, risk humiliation and humble themselves to the author like that?
They were proud of themselves as swordsmen, and believed that Jangju’s sword was the best in the world, so they gathered here and called it the sacred place of swords.
It was something they could not understand, or even tolerate, seeing someone they respected endure humiliation.
-visor! Sreung!
The guests also drew their swords.
They shouted one by one.
“Jangju! If you are doing this to prevent your son and those here from being sacrificed, then please stop. We are also unmanned. “I am prepared to die at any time.”
“you’re right! “If the Lord leads, we will all join together.”
“Don’t show yourself weak to the enemy!”
“That’s right! Let us be of strength to Zhou!”
“Let’s not just watch everyone, but let’s help the old chieftain and protect Geogok with our own hands!”
“Waaaaaa!!!”
The morale of the inspectors and guests, who were not only angry but full of energy, cheered.
Mo Yong-hak, who was dispatched as an investigator for the Justice League and was watching them from a distance, could not contain his excitement and said.
“situation. “How about we help too?”
At his words, he opened his mouth with a look on his face as the situation regarding the extermination of the Hangsan Sect became more serious.
“······I don’t think it’s a problem that can be helped.”
“What do you mean? “The former chieftain has his son held hostage and is being toyed with by those Baehwa believers. Are you saying we should just watch this?”
“Amitabha Buddha. “Do you really not know why the former chieftain is acting like that?”
“yes?”
“Gu Jangju is not doing this because of your son and the guests.”
“What do you mean?”
“······I hope Binseung’s judgment is wrong, but it seems that the former chieftain thinks there is no hope in fighting you.”
‘!?’
Mo Yong-hak’s eyes widened at those words.
What is this sound?
Doesn’t this mean that Gu Jangju, one of the six great generals who are said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world, sensed defeat and bowed his head before he even fought Chochul, whom he had never even heard of?
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Even if the author was strong, there was no way he would be overwhelmingly stronger than Gu Zhang Zhou, who reached the extreme with a sword.
If he did so, he would risk his life and fight to protect his honor.
Even if he is strong, isn’t it okay for an expert of the level of a former general to fight at the risk of his life to protect his own honor?
Where on earth did my pride as a warrior go?
‘I see some people are disappointed.’
Jioe, who had been watching the situation as if it were someone else’s business, clicked his tongue inwardly.
Eventually this happened.
I wondered if something like this would happen because of his reputation and the reverence of the Central Plains people, but it happened.
‘As expected, Gu Cheon-mu, you were only a craftsman in the end.’
Gu Cheon-mu’s martial arts has reached a level that is recognized by everyone.
When discussing swords, wouldn’t it be almost the best if it were close to the best in the world?
It certainly was.

However, Jie Oe, who had stayed here for a long time and experienced the Gucheonmu of Zhangzhou, thought that he had two crucial things that he lacked.
One of them is,
‘Absence of actual combat.’
It was safe to say that Gu Cheon-mu had the least actual combat experience among the Six Thousand and Eight Stars, who were said to be the best martial arts masters.
Yeonggeomsanjang was close to a neutral sect that did not belong to the government.
The reason is that for a long time, they focused more on their activities as artisans rather than as warriors.
As a result, we have never been particularly hostile or fought with other factions.
‘At most, it was just a dance or discussion with the Geomgok guests.’
Since his ancestors’ time, he had experienced numerous sword sword techniques and sword training, and his enlightenment had increased, so he had no choice but to be noticeably stronger in fighting swords and non-geom swords.
However, there was never a single case in which they fought for their lives.
Nevertheless, the reason why the old Jangju came to be called one of the six thousand people was because Jeong Hyeon-moon, also one of the six thousand people and the leader of the Justice League, had a sword fight with the old Jangju and acknowledged that he had achieved the mastery of the sword.
Because of this, the Murim people recognized him as one of the six thousand.
but,
‘I really have no pride in being a warrior.’
A martial artist did not just have to be good at theory.
The reason they learned radishes was to protect themselves and fight with others.
Furthermore, it was a martial arts weapon that cut down the enemy.
However, while Jangju Gu Cheonmu, or rather the Gu family of Yeonggeomsanjang, had a clear sense of duty and pride as craftsmen, they had no will to fight with anyone.
Since he had no intention of fighting, it was impossible for him to have any pride as a warrior.
‘Ahhh. Former Jangju. Will it eventually reveal its limits?’
Jieu sighed and looked disappointed.
I had a vague feeling that he lacked the will to fight, but when he was put in an extreme situation, it turned out to be true.
‘It was only half the story.’
Ji Oe, who was shaking his head, looked away from Gu Tianmu.
The time he spent here to defeat Kendo Kengeuk was not a waste, but he was no longer interested in him after he revealed his own limitations.
No, there was no reason to be interested anymore.
An opponent who could further raise his fighting spirit had appeared.
-Sigh!
His eyes naturally turned to Mok Kyung-un.
Mo Qingyun took a quick look at Zhuang Zhou Gu Tianmu and his two sons lying face down, then snorted and said.
“It seems like the people in the back want Jangju to fight me.”
At this, Zhou Gu Tianmu raised his head and opened his mouth.
“Members of this chapter and guests are not to come forward anymore. “This is a matter that needs to be resolved with Nobu and the Duke here.”
“Jangju! “How can you say that?”
“We are prepared to risk our lives…”
“conflict!”
The inspectors and guests were embarrassed by his loud shout and fell silent.
As soon as they became quiet, Zhuang Zhou Gu Tianmu continued speaking without even looking at them.
“That sword on the cliff is in a place where not even Nobu can reach it. Why do you risk your lives when you can’t even see that clearly? “Don’t get involved anymore.”
“······.”
The inspectors and guests fell silent at his resolute will.
It was difficult to go any further after Jangju said this, but there was disappointment in their eyes.
They were gathered here only out of respect for him.
Even though he was lacking in skills, he was willing to risk his life and fight if he led.
However, in the end, their will was broken as they abandoned their pride as warriors and chose humiliation and defeat.
Ignoring them, Zhou Gu Tianmu bowed his head again and said.
“I will do whatever you wish. Please have mercy.”
‘iced coffee.’
Mok Gyeong-un, who was staring at him as he thoroughly humbled himself, quickly lost his appetite.
I was intrigued by the image of him cutting off his own arm, so I tried to see how he would react this time, but I lost interest because the picture was unexpectedly different from what I wanted.
His pride as a warrior and his paternal love for his children were nowhere in sight.
-What do you plan to do now?
At that time, Cheongnyeong’s voice rang in my ears.
Mok Kyung-un shrugged his shoulders.
-Whatever. I have to finish it in moderation.
-Why did you push yourself so hard when you were going to finish it in moderation?
-well. In order to eliminate any regrets, it is necessary to make sure… Even if I knew the difference between inaction, I was curious about what would happen if someone reached this level.
-······Was fighting that thief not enough?
-If I compete with a proper Six Heaven, I will be able to figure out where I stand.
-under?
Cheongnyeong was shocked.
This guy would be the only one who would try to figure out how far he has reached against Yuk Cheon, who is said to be the pinnacle of the current martial arts world.
The reason why this very cautious guy goes out so boldly is because he is somewhat confident in his own strength.
‘······The time is ripe.’
Although Cheongnyeong did not show it, the situation gradually escalated.
She believed that no matter how talented the sentient being was, it would take at least ten years to get revenge.
But this monster shortened it to ridiculous levels.
In just half a year, it reached the equivalent of six thousand or more.
‘It might be possible now.’
There were already quite a few forces established within the Cheonjihoe, and the subordinates they came out with were not ordinary people.
Now she might be able to get the revenge she wants.
No, this guy would be able to do it.
‘It won’t be long.’
She couldn’t hide her excitement.
Then, Mok Gyeong-un relented in his attempt to rip out the tongue of his second son, Gu Woong-seong.
As soon as he withdrew his tongue, Gu Woong-seong fell to the floor.
“Off.”
“Let’s stop the bleeding quickly. “You might die from bleeding.”
At those words, the head of the warden, Gu Woong-hwang, ran to the fallen Gu Woong-seong, applied pressure to the bleeding point, and hurriedly wrapped the cut on his arm with a torn piece of cloth.
Seeing Gu Xiongsheng, who barely managed to save his life, Gu Tianmu, the chieftain, breathed a sigh of relief without realizing it.
No matter what, a child was still a child.
Mok Gyeong-un said to him.
“You said you can do anything. How far can you go?”
‘!?’
At those words, Gu Tianmu’s expression became subtle.
I almost surrendered because I felt extreme fear from Mok Gyeong-un, but seeing him talk like this makes me afraid of what he might ask for.
“······I will do anything Nobu can do.”
I couldn’t grant such a request to cut off my arm, so I drew a certain line.
At the very least, it was a call to ask in a way that would be heard.
“It can be done… “Then it won’t be that difficult.”
“If you want to make a sword, I can make you the best sword suitable for you…”
“no. “This sword is enough.”
Mok Gyeong-un tapped the two swords on his waist with his palm and spoke casually.
“Then, Lord Jang and Yeonggeomsanjang swear loyalty to me.”
‘!!!!!!!’
At that moment, everyone could not believe their ears.
