< Manbaknogoe (3) >
Manbaknogoe jumped down from the roof. His body landed on the ground as light as a feather.
Bam.
The distance between the two people is about 3 chapters (9 meters).
But the man felt as if the face of the Manbaknogoe was right in front of his nose.
‘What a pressure…’
My whole body was sending out warning signals.
My hair stood on end, my heart raced, and my tense muscles clenched with tension.
Suddenly, a cold chill was felt, as if winter had come.
“Click click click.”
Manbaknogoe’s two eyes emitted a bright yellow light. He smiled faintly and said.
“He really is alive. The bloodline of the Sword Emperor remains intact···.”
So, there was no way for me to know whether it was a blessing or whether I was glad that I could cut off that bloodline myself.
‘Do you mistake me for a descendant of the Sword Emperor?’
Manbaknogoe slowly walked towards the great man.
“Hmm?”
Manbaknogoe stopped walking for a moment and frowned as he spoke.
“You’ve cast a strange spell on my face. I want to see your real face, so let me undo it.”
‘Crazy. Did you also notice that I used an artifact?’
The magic of the Gaia continent and the martial arts of the Murim world both deal with mana, but the way they work and the system are completely different.
It’s almost impossible to know without experiencing both, but Manbaknogoe noticed it in an instant.
“······.”
Instead of answering, the man clenched his fist. Manbaknogoe laughed and said.
“That guy really is stubborn. Who does he take after?”
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. I am not related to the Emperor by blood.”
“Click, click. There’s no need to come all the way here and lie.”
“This old man is talking to people···.”
At that moment, the figure of Manbaknogoe disappeared from where he had been standing.
“The old man will check it himself.”
“!!”
The man turned to the side and swung his fist. His fist collided with his fist.
Kyaang!
Fists clashed with fists, making a sound like metal clashing. The man used his repulsion to step back.
Manbaknogoe bent his fingers and scratched the man’s face with his fingernails. Sharp slashes formed at the tips of his nails.
WHEEK!
The man leaned his upper body back significantly to avoid the attack. At the same time, he kicked his foot up and aimed for Manbaknogoe’s groin.
“Keep on going. That guy’s actions are like those of a street thug. Bloodlines really can’t be fooled.”
‘Well, no!’
Manbaknogoe raised his shin to block the man’s foot. At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the man’s sleeve and pulled him towards him.
The man walked towards Manbaknogoe. The man reached out and poked Manbaknogoe’s eyes with his fingers.
A vital point attack followed by an eye poke.
Both were methods that were looked down upon as cowardly and despised by the political parties.
“Phewhewhew! The more I look at it, the more it looks amazing!”
But the old man was rather pleased. He took a step to the side and avoided the attack.
At the same time, he broke the man’s posture by crossing his legs.
Swaying. As the man staggered and barely regained his balance, Manbaknogoe’s hand moved like a hawk hunting its prey.
The man turned his head hurriedly. But he couldn’t stop the doppelganger’s mask from being torn.
Sizzle.
The man’s face and body shape returned to their original appearance.
Up to this point, the battle had been completed in almost one breath.
There was a brief lull in the fighting, as the Manbaknogwoe had stopped.
“Hmm···.”
Manbaknogoe stroked his thick beard and stared intently at the man’s face.
“It seems to resemble the Emperor of Swords…. It’s been so long that my face is blurry.”
“What a resemblance. I told you we don’t share a single drop of blood.”
The man grumbled but did not let go of the tension in his body.
‘What is this monster? It’s too strong to be a 100-year-old master… A 10-year-old master? Was there an old man like that among them?’
Just because he was a great man, he didn’t go around memorizing the names and appearances of all the great masters.
As the old man’s identity was being guessed, Manboknogoe was admiring the old man’s body.
“I heard you’re fifteen now… Huh. You were born with a natural talent.”
My physical age is 20 years old this year, and my body has undergone a complete transformation.
Instead of saying that, the man frowned and grumbled.
“Hey, old man. I’ll say it again, I’m just a man with no blood ties to the Emperor. If you have any grudge against him, you’ve come to the wrong address.”
But Manbaknogoe didn’t listen to the words.
He thought the man was lying to get out of the situation.
“Keep on going. Then it must be a coincidence that you use the Sword Emperor’s secret technique and that your every move is accompanied by a supernatural attack?”
“······.”

Manbaknogoe started walking towards the man again.
As if he had been exploring just a moment ago, the energy flowing out of his body became stronger.
Phew! Phew!
Her abundant white hair soared into the sky, her white robes fluttered wildly, and her bright yellow eyes grew even darker.
He said as he walked towards me with a limp.
“My child. It’s nice to meet you. The old man had a connection with the Sword Emperor while he was alive. That connection has continued until today···.”
Hehe. The old man smiled wickedly.
“If you want to survive in my hands, try your best.”
Manbaknogoe rushed at the man again.
Fists clashed with fists, hands with feet, elbows with knees, and dozens of blows were exchanged in an instant.
Manbaknogoe burst into laughter as if he was happy.
“It feels like I’ve gone back in time, so I feel excited!”
“Ugh···.”
The man was dying. He could barely block the attacks.
‘Damn. If only I had a weapon···.’
I couldn’t help but regret having taken my sword and Tichtal’s wristwatch with me so as not to arouse suspicion from the Dark Blood Clan leader.
That was when.
“conflict-!”
Jinnoin, accompanied by the lion, attacked Manboknogoe from behind. A fierce sword energy flew out.
“That’s absurd.”
Manbaknogoe waved his hand as if he was chasing away a fly, dispelling the black energy. Then he turned around to face the sturdy old man who was rushing at him from behind.
While Jin No-in was briefly dealing with Man-bak No-in, Nam-gung Hyeon threw his sword at the man.
“Take it!”
The Charlotte thrown by Namgung Hyun was sucked into the man’s hand.
Gooooooo.
The moment he picked up the sword, the great man’s demeanor completely changed.
The man immediately rushed to Manbaknogoe.
If we delay even just a little longer, the old man will turn into a corpse.
“Old man! Get out of my way!”
Daein pushed Jinnoin aside and was attacked by Manbaknogoe instead.
Chomp!
For the first time, Manbaknogoe stepped back. His palms were split and bleeding.
“Click click click···.”
But the old man laughed. He licked the blood flowing on his palm with his tongue.
“You carry a good sword. Even a decent sword would have a hard time cutting through the old man’s skin.”
The Great Man spoke while taking the form of the Heavenly Sword.
“From now on, be careful, Young-gam-tang. Swordsmanship is my specialty.”
Tsk tsk tsk!
A blue sapphire grew, covering Charlotte’s dark sword body.
‘It doesn’t get pushed anymore.’
The man thought so.
At that moment, Manbaknogoe laughed the loudest he had ever laughed.
“Puhahahahaha! Of course! If you’ve learned the Sword Emperor’s martial arts, then of course you should pick up a sword! You were so happy that you forgot to do that!”
“That old man. He really must have lost his mind···.”
Damn it. I got caught by a crazy old man. That was when the man muttered and sighed.
“Then from now on, I will fight you with my sword.”
“···what?”
The moment the person makes a ‘no way’ expression,
Round.
A sword that had been lying on the ground rose into the air and entered Manbaknogoe’s hand.
The realm of perfect airbrushing.
What was even more surprising was the momentum of the Manbaknogoe that had become even more intense.
Tsk tsk tsk···.
It felt like a sharp sword was pointed at my heart.
Gulp.
The man swallowed dry saliva and spat out a word.
“···f*ck.”
“Click click click.”
Manbaknogoe couldn’t stop laughing. His eyes were looking at the great man, but at the same time, he was thinking back to memories from the distant past.
“Hey, let’s play with Nobu all night long today.”
The man looked around with a serious expression.
‘I don’t like this. I really don’t like this.’
Jin No-in suffered a considerable amount of internal injuries, and Namgung Hyeon’s face was pale.
In addition, the Dark Blood Unit’s warriors, who had lost their will to fight and thrown away their weapons when Danju fell, took up their weapons again and surrounded the group.
“Manbaknogun! We’ll help too···.”
Manbaknogoe shouted at the unmanned soldiers of the Dark Blood Corps who were trying to close the siege.
“Go! Anyone who interferes in this fight will be torn limb from limb and killed!”
“······.”
The Dark Blood Corps’s unmanned forces decided to be content with maintaining the siege. Noh Goe was a man who would do anything he wanted.
Manbaknogoe looked at the great man with a big smile.
“Now let’s mix swords with peace of mind! We can’t let the excitement die down!”
And he rushed at the man and swung his sword.
The Great Man swung his sword, pouring all his internal energy into it.
Kaaaaaaang-!!
The moment Kang-gi and Kang-gi collided, a powerful shockwave erupted around the two people.
“Huh!”
The weak martial artists had nosebleeds. Even the first-class martial artists felt uneasy.
“oh my god···.”
Everyone there was dumbfounded and watched the astonishing showdown between the two.
“Was Manbaknogoe really that strong? Shouldn’t he be listed among the top ten masters?”
“What about that guy? He’s not that far behind Manbaknogoe. He might have been a contracted employee at best…”
It is rare to see a master so skilled at controlling the martial arts as they should be, even once in a lifetime.
And it would be difficult to see such masters compete even if you paid a billion dollars.
The unmanned personnel present had forgotten about the enemy and were absorbed in the confrontation itself.
“Ugh···.”
It was then that Dokgo Jun, who had fainted, woke up.
***
As time passed, the man began to feel that something was strange.
‘Are you looking at me on purpose?’
To others, it might seem like a close match.
But the person in question knew that he was far inferior to his opponent.
‘I won’t be pushed back by my internal energy.’
But in every other way, we were pushed back.
An eye to read the opponent’s movements first, a method to secure a good position, and judgment and application based on numerous experiences.
‘To be honest, he’s one, no, two steps ahead of me.’
However, there was only one reason why the tense confrontation continued.
‘You’re toying with me.’
If you listen to what he said earlier, he seems to be a monster who is well over 100 years old, and it seems he had a bad relationship with the Emperor in the past.
Perhaps he still can’t forget that grudge and wants to take it out on the great man who appears to be his descendant – though he is by no means his heir.
“A petty old man.”
You can never win with just martial arts.
But the great man’s abilities were not limited to martial arts.
Of course, he had the means to do so.
‘It’s a shame to use this already, but…’
“It looks like you have a lot of distracting thoughts because the tip of your sword is shaking!”
With a rebuke, the sword of the Manbaknogoe quickly stabbed the man’s shoulder.
The first thing the man tried to do was to block the attack.
Next, I planned to use the secret technique I had been saving.
If only the rain hadn’t suddenly flown in and struck the sword.
Kyaang!
And then the sword of Manbaknogoe stabbed the great man in the shoulder.
Phew!
The startled Manbaknogoe hurriedly put away his sword and stepped back.
Almost at the same time a new scream was heard.
“Ahh!”
Both of them turned their heads at the same time towards where the scream had come from.
Dokgo Jun, who had fainted after being attacked by a man, was grabbing Namgung Hyeon by the neck.
“Ugh···.”
As if he had been ambushed from behind, Jin No-in collapsed next to him, groaning.
Dokgo Jun shouted at Manbak Nogoe.
“No-goe! Why are you stopping the attack! Subdue him immediately!”
Dokgo Jun’s face was miserable.
His right arm was broken and dangling, his handsome bachelor’s face hit the ground and his nose was broken. His teeth were also badly broken.
He looked at the man with eyes filled with hatred.
“Put your sword away. If you want to save these two lives.”
Dokgo Jun also gave orders to his subordinates.
“What are you guys doing! Arrest him!”
The Dark Blood Unit’s unmanned troops slowly approached, narrowing the encirclement.
“···There are mountains beyond mountains.”
The man did not put away his sword. He stopped the bleeding from his injured shoulder and looked at the situation more calmly than ever.
I sighed.
How did things get so messed up?
As I sighed and tried to figure out a way to resolve the situation, I heard the sound of teeth gritting next to me.
“I···.”
Manbaknogoe. His face was distorted like a vicious murderer.
“What did you say would happen if I got involved in this fight?”
