Moon-Shadow Sword Emperor

Episode 9

What are the odds that a twelve-year-old boy who has learned martial arts will win a fight with seven adult men with his bare hands?

I can guarantee that it will be at a level that converges infinitely into emptiness.

If you are talented or have high martial arts achievements, you may be able to promote yourself.

But that’s it.

The difference in basic physical performance and the violence of numbers are never easy.

‘It goes without saying that the training period is only two years.’

Short training period for immature body.

Even the world’s most powerful devices cannot do anything about the walls of time.

Unless you find an elixir somewhere and take it.

“I think this would be appropriate.”

A corner of the wall that forms the boundary between the inner and outer halls.

I entered a dark space surrounded by tall buildings and three trees.

‘It’s not as narrow as I thought.’

Of the seven men, two looked out and five cornered me and surrounded me.

I looked around, feigning anxiety, and the moment the distance to the man in front narrowed to about half a step, I kicked the ground.

“Now, from now on, listen carefully to what I say… Wow?!”

A surprise attack is usually carried out when the opponent is off guard at an unexpected moment.

The more unexpected the better.

The more sudden the better.

‘It is not too late to have a conversation after subduing these guys.’

The spirit skills that I had trained hard for during this time shone brightly.

Break through the gap in one go and hit the vital spot with one blow.

Although it didn’t have any internal strength, it hit me without mercy, so I wouldn’t be able to move for a while.

A man with a yellow face grabbed his groin and knocked Shinhyeong down.

Meanwhile, I rushed straight towards the next target.

“…!”

The targeted man instantly curled his lower body.

It’s like an instinct that men can’t help but feel.

‘I’m sorry, but I’m not in a situation where I can afford to acknowledge the circumstances.’

I closed my fist with my thumb between my index and middle fingers.

If I stuck out my index finger like I did in my previous life, I would have broken my bone, so I resorted to a little trick.

After stabbing the Seungsanhyeol (承山穴), Eunmunhyeol (殷門穴), and Seungbuhyeol (承扶穴) one by one to break the posture, the venom veins flowing down the spine were touched in several places.

The man, who was letting out a loud groan, soon darkened.

“What the hell!”

“What did you do!”

The utility of inner strength is truly endless.

In theory, it is possible to topple a huge beast with just a handful of internal energy.

‘There is nothing more to say if the opponent is a human.’

Not only does he know the location of the acupuncture points intimately, but he also has a lot of experience dealing with them.

We knocked out two people in a surprise attack, so now there are five people left.

The advantage of surprise was gone.

On the other hand, my inner strength, which is the size of millet, has already been used up by nearly a third.

Since it was only two years worth of experience accumulated through the Three Trials, the limits were clear.

‘If I drag it out for too long, there won’t be an answer.’

I jumped straight towards the man on my left.

The man, who was taking a step back as if embarrassed, soon distorted his expression grimly and swung his fist.

“You bastard!”

The key to ghosting is controlling the pace and speed.

As the center of gravity shifted to the left foot fixed on the ground rather than the right foot taking a step, the upper body moved backward as if drawn by a magnet.

“What?!”

Immediately after, he punched the air in front of his eyes and grabbed the passing fist with both hands and pulled it, causing the man to momentarily lose his balance and stumble.

There was no need to put in much effort.

When skill is added to technology, efficiency follows.

puck!

I used my strength in my hand, which was bent like a rake, and struck the man’s ear.

The man lying helplessly on the ground swung his arms with an angry look on his face, but it was only a futile move.

I muttered as I quickly took a step back and increased the distance between me and the man.

‘This makes three.’

It dealt a blow to the sense organs responsible for the balance of the human body.

Until it recovers, it will remain spread across the ground like that.

“Got it… 100 million!”

A man sneaked up from behind and grabbed my shoulder with a vicious hand.

If I had been in my previous life, I would have grabbed him by the wrist and grabbed him, but since I was short, I decided to take a simpler method.

I put all the force in my foot and hit the man’s instep.

As soon as the hand holding his shoulder lost strength, he rotated the new model halfway and stuck his elbow into the solar plexus.

‘four.’

I left behind the man who was kneeling on the ground, letting out a groan, and ran away to avoid the fifth man who was charging at me like an angry bull.

After rolling around on the ground to correct my posture, I immediately followed the man’s movements with my eyes.

‘what.’

Contrary to expectations that he would attack again, the man was glaring at me with a puzzled expression from a distance of about three paces.

It seemed like he couldn’t believe the situation that had just occurred, where four young men had been subdued in the blink of an eye by a pale-faced little boy.

‘I thought you had a cautious personality, but you turned out to be just a coward.’

I laughed and kicked the ground.

A servant leader who commands Sega’s servants.

It seemed like I had learned martial arts, albeit clumsily, but I didn’t feel scared at all.

What’s the use of things like physique and martial arts skills if you show up losing in a fight against a mere kid?

While he was saying, he dug into the gap and extended his fist toward the center.

“Ugh!”

Security bursts out.

He jumped up with a frightened look on his face and followed up with the servant who was retreating.

It is unlikely that a child can keep up with the speed at which a grown adult moves, but that is only when conditions are equal.

The speed of running forward and the speed of walking backward cannot be the same.

‘Once you give distance, it’s already too late.’

Pick!

The servant’s fist suddenly grazed the tip of his nose.

Even though I only brushed against it, my nose started bleeding.

I thought it would be dangerous if I got hit even once.

It won’t be right.

“Sigh!”

He bent down and jumped forward, grabbing the servant’s calf.

When I wrapped my arms around him and put my weight on him so that he couldn’t escape, the servant who was walking backwards couldn’t hold on and hit his butt on the ground.

He urgently rotated his upper body halfway, placed both hands on the ground, and tried to raise himself up.

‘No matter how urgent it is, you can’t show your back defenselessly.’

I immediately put down my legs, climbed up on the servant’s back, and hit him with my elbows.

A servant girl lets out a loud scream and tears down her upper body.

With the thumb inserted between the index and middle fingers, I gently pricked the Ipdong, Bongmi, Jeongchok, and Soyohyeols in order, and the convulsing body became limp. .

‘It would have been much easier if I had a weapon.’

It’s unfortunate, but what can you do if you find something that isn’t there?

Well, since these guys also had bare hands, the conditions were the same.

“after.”

I let out a short breath and turned my head, and the two men who had been watching came into view, looking confused and looking like they didn’t know what to do.

I asked them with a smile on my face.

“Are you two going to attack them too?”

Although he was speaking arrogantly, the situation was actually not very relaxed.

After subduing the servant, my strength was completely exhausted.

Dealing with two adult men without any skills was a burden for me now.

No, it was difficult to guarantee victory beyond the burdensome level.

“I’ll tell you in advance, but you’d better not try to run away. “Unless you plan to completely quit working at Manjangse.”

That’s why I bluffed with all my might.

He sat down on the servant’s back, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and made eye contact with the two men one after the other.

From their perspective, the current situation may not be understandable.

You must be scared at the same time.

Who could have imagined the existence of a monster-like kid who could easily defeat five adult men?

“If you’re not going to attack or run away, come sit here.”

“…….”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

The men came hesitantly and knelt down on the ground.

The way he rolled his eyes with a very frightened expression made him look like a mouse facing a cat.

“There is no need to kneel down.”

“Huh?”

“You can sit comfortably.”

“No…….”

“If you don’t like it, drink it.”

“That’s right.”

Now, how should I cook these guys?

In my past life, I would have beaten him to death and questioned him about what happened, but unfortunately, I didn’t have enough strength right now.

If you make a mistake, you may face backlash if you are found out that you are bluffing.

Just stare at the men in silence for a moment.

I wiped the nosebleed that was flowing down with my sleeve and said as if throwing it away.

“I have a few questions I’d like to ask.”

* * *

‘What on earth is this?’

The servant, Wang Il-sang, could not come to his senses.

It must have been a simple task to take a young boy with no blood on his head, teach him some discipline, coax him out, and ask him a few favors(?).

When I came to my senses, I found myself kneeling next to other servants, waiting to be dealt with.

‘Yeonsoun. ‘He’s not an ordinary guy.’

The cruelty of targeting vital points without any hesitation.

Professionalism, fluent in sophisticated techniques such as point-pointing.

It even had the force to easily knock out five adult men.

No matter where I looked, he didn’t look like an ordinary twelve-year-old boy.

‘I heard he was an orphan, but is there a hidden past history that I don’t know about?’

Even after thinking about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

First, there was a need to gather information.

‘Anyway, what should I do with this shitty situation?’

Yeon-woon asks various questions with a relaxed expression, and the servants answer quickly with their military spirit raised.

His authority as a servant had fallen to the ground and was falling through the ground.

Wang Il-sang slowly raised his head and looked around.

‘…Are you going to hit me hard? If we fight again, I think I can win.’

In previous fights, I was so embarrassed that I was overpowered before I could fight properly, but now the situation was different.

The advantage of the surprise attack was here, and more than anything, the guy was caught off guard.

That moment.

‘omg!’

As if it were a lie, Yeonsaun looked back at Wang Ilsang.

Cool eyes that sweep from head to toe.

Wang Il-sang felt his spine getting wet.

‘shit. ‘That won’t work.’

What about letting down your guard?

The intention that he would not let you go if you made a fuss was clearly visible in his gaze.

Above all, he was not sure whether other servants would join him in the fight.

I was so intimidated that it was difficult to think that hunching my neck like Zara would be of any help.

“All right. You can all go back now. Oh, the servant stays. “I have a separate story to tell you.”

A voice like thunder penetrates the ears of Wang Il-sang, who was worried and unable to do anything.

The phrase ‘clear blue sky’ must have been referring to this situation.

“Why only me…!”

“yep!”

“All right!”

I wanted to ask the reason, but the voice I mustered up the courage to speak was drowned out by the strong answers of the other servants.

The servants quickly get up from their seats in case Yeon-woon changes his mind.

Wang Il-sang cursed inwardly.

‘These heartless bastards. How have I treated you all this time!’

Yeonsun, who was waiting for the servants to disappear, crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall.

He burst into laughter at the sight of Wang Il-sang gulping and looking at him.

“It’s Haomen City, right?”

“…!”

“Having a tattoo on your ankle probably means you have at least the rank of perfume master.”

“… … “How do you do that?”

“I happened to see it earlier when you grabbed my leg.”

“No, that’s not what I want to ask…”

“Let me ask you straight. I want to become Hao Wen’s customer. How can I do that?”
