Episode 11: A Dangerous Visit (3)
Although she was said to have a fiery temperament she was Ha Chae-rin who had been rigorously trained and educated by Biyeom assassin one of the four major assassins in the Jungwon region.
The basis of her murder lies in information gathering and preparation.
Therefore she began investigating various aspects of Mok Gyeong-un the person she had to kill.
However when she actually started investigating this Mok Gyeong-un was no different from an immature Confucius.
She was told that she was so poor in martial arts that she was only third-rate and that she was not recognized even by Yeonmokgeomjang’s other brothers or her vassals.
She said ‘But how could a guy like that kill a mid-level assassin twenty-seven aids?’
There were two things she could guess from this.
In one case the real culprit could have been someone else.
The person who leaked this information to them was the same Yeonmok Geomjang but another Confucius with whom they had to fight for succession.
It was quite possible.
and second
‘You hid yourself for this day?’
She thought it was less likely than the former.
Because she was only seventeen years old there was no reason for her to hide her powers if her succession was to be contested.
It was only recently that the head of Yeonmokgeomjang suffered from illness.
That’s why she was even more certain.
‘…This was completely unexpected.’
Ha Chae-rin couldn’t believe her own eyes for a moment.
Although she was born with a woman’s body she reached her peak with the full support and teachings of her grandfather.
Even though she is like this she is unable to use the technique of attacking things in the empty space.
But she said that at the age of 17 the third Confucius of the pastoral family whom she regarded as a childish brat could do this?
Ha Chae-rin’s eyes narrowed as she looked at her neck.
‘But why?’
If she had deep inner strength to the point where she could subdue the air she would have at least reached the pinnacle of transcendence.
However no matter how you look at it in terms of energy it is only third-rate.
It’s exactly as I heard.
‘It’s unique.’
She showed a good sense of air but in terms of energy she was third-rate.
But the atmosphere it gave off was strangely ominous.
I can’t figure out if that’s why.
Maybe she couldn’t feel it because she was conserving her energy.
“The late Confucius…”
At that time the guard Go Chan called out to Mo Gyeong-un in a voice that was almost relieved.
If he had been just a little bit late he would have slit his throat and almost lost his life.
But the crisis was not over.
-Park!
“omg!”
Ha Chae-rin grabbed Go-chan’s neck and pulled her towards her.
Embarrassed Gochan tried to escape by twisting his body but he was unable to fight back because there was a big difference in his resistance level.
She said to Mok Gyeong-un holding on to her Go-chan.
“If you don’t want to see Howie die I’d advise him not to move. Wood Confucius.”
‘….’
Gochan let out a faint sigh at her words.
That’s because Ha Chae-rin didn’t know anything about that guy.
Although she had saved her just a moment ago that guy wasn’t a great person to play to someone’s taste in the first place.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“Who are you?”
Ha Chae-rin chuckled at this question and said.
“There is no reason to tell Confucius that. “I would like you to step back a bit more than that.”
She was keeping Mo Qingyun in check.
If it hadn’t been for that sudden attack from the air just now she wouldn’t have been so cautious.
She needed to prepare for one of her contingencies.
It was difficult to gauge Mok Gyeong-un’s exact inaction and at this point normal assassination was already a thing of the past.
‘Should we retreat?’
While I was thinking about this I felt the neck band I was holding tremble slightly.
She noticed that Go-chan was speechless.
This made her clutch her neck even harder.
-closely!
“Keck!”
“It looks like Mr. Go is definitely planning on making a fuss with this side. “I see you doing something like this.”
Gochan was shocked by those words even while he was in pain.
He was accusing someone of trying to kill him first so it was funny that he was saying things like that.
“Bisalmun’s life? Whoa. “Was it possible to live?”
– Wow
She looked annoyed at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
Her brief summary revealed her true identity well.
“Ah…you damn bastard.”
Not only did the assassin fail to assassinate him but there was nothing worse than having his affiliation discovered.
Now that it was like this she had to kill Mok Gyeong-un in some way.
No in the first place the goal was to kill him even if it meant retreating or changing the method.
Since he was designated as the target of 100 Days 100 Kills (百日 100 Kills) if he could not kill he could not receive the title of the Four Great Killers or become the master of the Bisalmun Gate.
‘Should I see the end?’
We are still not sure of her inaction in cultivating her neck but she does have an ace up her sleeve.
It was a deadly stab at Wan-hwan.
Because it was specially made it could only be used once but as long as it was used within 3 distances it would be difficult for even a decent expert to block it with self-defense skills.
I was told to use it when I felt my life was in danger but I didn’t know that it might not be a situation where I would regret it.
‘If you let your guard down this side could get hit.’
Without letting go of her nerves she slowly lowered her left hand.
Mok Gyeong-un said this.
“Please let me go.”
“what?”
“If you let Gochan’s guard go I’ll just let him go this time. “It’s very rare for me to let someone who is trying to take my life go.”
‘no?’
Go Chan was secretly surprised.
I didn’t know that that devil-like guy would say that he would send assassins who came after his life for his sake.
Wasn’t he just a loser being used by that guy?
I thought of course he would give up but it was really surprising.
‘Just let me go? under!’
On the other hand Ha Chae-rin’s eyebrows rose upward upon hearing Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
The attitude of offering mercy was annoying.
But she also felt that it was good.
The guy made a mistake.
The fact that he let go of Sal-su who had attempted to take his life to save one of his guards was proof that he did not take Go-chan lightly.
She said as she pulled Gochan behind her holding him by the neck.
“Confucius Wood. “It looks like you care a lot about your escort.”
“no. Not really. “I guess it’s just a whim of mine because I don’t want to let someone as useful as Gochan’s guard die right away.”
“whim. Foot.”
She said to Mok Gyeong-un who let out a sneer.
“Well if you want to save him according to his whim take at least ten steps back and get on his knees. Then let’s release the escort as soon as we leave the manor.”
With those words she used her hidden square to turn the turn of her arm ring and load her pole needle.
She had already pictured the situation happening several times in her head.
The moment Mo Kyung-un was about to step back he used Gao Chan as a shield to push him back and then he planned to shoot a deadly needle from a hidden blind spot.
“Hurry back and water…..”
‘!?’
It was that moment.
She discovered that Mo Kyung-un’s gaze was slightly directed backwards not at her.
She was at the same time as him.
-Shudder!
Feeling a strange sensation behind her back she hurriedly switched her wand and fired a spirit-like needle.
-Pupupupup!
But there was nothing behind it.
‘what?’
I just felt something coming from behind.
It felt like something eerie but…!?
-Park!
“Keck!”
At one point she pulled the gochan that was holding her neck and turned her body to one side.
At that moment a dagger passed just to her right.
Seeing Ha Chae-rin avoid this Mok Gyeong-un’s eyes sparkled.
‘It’s faster than Mo Yu-cheon.’
And my senses were more sensitive.
Cheongryeong who was targeting Ha Chae-rin said.
-The senses of a peak expert cannot be compared to that of a first-class expert. The ghost energy of this place is so strong that it is not easy to approach within one chapter.
It seems so.
Mok Yu-cheon also glanced at Cheongnyeong’s location throughout the dictation.
When one reaches the peak manipulating energy becomes smoother so even spiritual energy seems to react sensitively.
At that time Ha Chae-rin spoke to Mok Gyeong-un with sharp eyes.
“Confucius Wood. “You had a helper.”
“…..”
She was sure.
An eerie feeling of foreignness felt from behind.
I don’t know what it was but she was on high alert for a while and there was no way her sense of self was wrong.
And she knew one thing.
‘I was weak.’
The dagger thrown by Mo Kyung-un just now was said to be a surprise attack but its power was weak.
If a master of the peak or higher had decided to throw it he would have been hit on the shoulder in that split second.
Something is strange.
It was a golden opportunity but I missed it.
‘no way?’
Maybe the air-surviving skills she showed earlier weren’t her neck cultivation skills.
She may have been helped by an alien entity that could not be captured by this feeling.
When the accident reached this point the corners of her mouth slowly turned up.
If Mok Kyung-yun is not such a master that he can be wary of he can definitely kill him.
‘Extremely lethal!’
In that split second her life arose within her.
Sensing this Mok Kyung-un spoke in a cold voice.
“I think it would be the best handshake.”
“no. at all!”
With those words Ha Chae-rin pushed her Go-chan towards Mok Gyeong-un.
-Papa papapak!
And as she got closer to Chapter 3 she slapped the bottom of her left hand towards Gochan’s back.
-Paaaaaaa!
There was a sound of something exploding.
“Oops!”
The deadly needle that pierced Go Chan’s back flew precisely towards Mo Gyeong-un’s eyebrows.
The power of the deadly stab which flies at incredible speeds was at a level that could pierce even the self-defense techniques of most experts.
however
– Whilick!
The flying needle’s path changed upward and pierced Mok Kyung-un’s right palm which was raised upward.
-Poof!
‘!?’
Ha Chae-rin’s eyes widened.
What on earth is going on when a flying needle changes course?
It was a moment of puzzlement.
-Why didn’t you just go when they said they would let you go? rebirth.
Startled by the woman’s voice coming from her left ear she threw her body to the right and shot her spirit.
But there was nothing there.
-Pupupupupup!
I definitely heard a voice right next to me.
But why didn’t I see anything?
As she was perplexed something pulled her body to the floor with tremendous force.
-Park! bang!
“evil!”
A deathly scream burst from Ha Chae-rin’s mouth as she hit the floor.
Embarrassed she chanted and raised her strength to its maximum.
And it gave rise to her counter-resilience trying to shake off the forces that were oppressing her own body.
But
“Huh!”
At that moment something unbelievable happened.
-Bubble bubble!
Blood filled the area around her who was pressed down on the floor and all around her turned red.
At the same time her breath became suffocated along with the foul smell of blood.
This was the first time in her life that she had experienced something strange and she had no idea what it was.
-Click! Crack!
‘!!!!!!!’
For a moment she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Her heart felt like it was going to burst as dozens of red hands shot out from her bottom grabbing and pulling at her own limbs.
I was so scared that I didn’t even scream.
-Wiggle wiggle!
The best thing to do was just to twist her body.
Looking at Chae-rin like this her spirit chuckled.
-This is the body that will be used by this person so try not to leave any scratches as much as possible.
She was a happy woman.
Looking at her Ha Chae-rin who was suffering from her youth and her fear Gyeong-un Mok shook her head.
“I said shake hands.”
She had definitely warned me.
She grabbed Gochan’s neck by the neck and even gave him a chance to live in order to threaten her.
But in the end she missed this opportunity.
“Cluck cluck.”
Mokgyeongun looked at Gochan who was gradually turning pale and his warmth was cooling off.
Her blood filled her mouth and a steady stream of blood flowed from her pierced chest.
It seemed like her heart had been pierced and she was helpless.
Looking at him like this Mok Kyung-un said with a dry look in his eyes.
“It’s a shame. “I thought we could spend more time together.”
She did her best to save her life.
But I was really unlucky.
Mo Kyung-un looked down at the dying Gao-chan and continued his words.
“thank you for your effort. “I will not forget the hard work of Gochan’s escort.”
“Cough…I…I want to die….”
Gochan muttered something with difficulty.
It was the strong desire to live of a dying person.
Mok Kyung-un who was staring at this indifferently said.
“You have a strong attachment to life.”
“Cluck cluck…..please…..”
Mok Gyeong-un who was looking down at him as his eyes became increasingly blurry twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered.
“Maybe there’s room for a little more togetherness.”
With those words he took out something from his belt.
There was something written in red ink but my eyes were getting blurry and I couldn’t see it clearly.
Mok Gyeong-un placed the amulet on Gochan’s forehead.
Then he placed his palm toward his heart and said
“According to the Six People Necromancy a vengeful spirit is born from strong resentment but it is also said that it is born from the influence of the overflow of wandering thoughts and moral energy in the place where death is faced.”
The words were almost over.
A cold sinister energy surged from Mo Kyung-un’s palm.
-Gooooooo!
