< Episode 42: Poisonous Man (2) >
“Seriously? “This?”
‘!?’
A tone of voice that makes it seem like you don’t understand.
King Baek Sa-ha frowned at Mo Gyeong-un’s words.
It may have sounded very arrogant but looking at Mo Qingyun’s current state he really seemed to be unaffected by the miasma.
‘Huh.’
It was truly an amazing sight.
The mist of wave poison that can be unleashed only when one reaches the 7th level of the Padam Poison Sutra is so poisonous that even masters who have reached the highest level can be poisoned in an instant if they do not keep an appropriate distance. It was very powerful.
Isn’t there a good example here?
“Whoa… whoo….”
“ha.”
Even Hoiju’s two disciples Jang Nung-ak and Wei So-yeon were caught off guard and exposed to the mist of the Japanese invasion and were busy trying to resolve it.
Their ears won’t be able to hear anything now.
The poison was so strong that Mok Gyeong-un reacted so casually that it felt truly bizarre.
“Did you say you were a disciple of Lord Amjong?”
Baek So-gang the second son of Baek So-gang who had an expression of disbelief on his face answered the question of King Baek Sa-ha.
“yes yes! “Yes.”
“He’s a very interesting guy. “I’m curious as to how you managed to survive Nobu’s mission since you’re not wearing poisoned wine or have a strong inner strength.”
Hearing his words Mok Gyeong-un politely bowed his head and said.
“It’s a matter of constitution so I hope you don’t mind too much.”
“constitution?”
“yes.”
“under!”
Baek Saha the island’s poison king clicked his tongue as if he was shocked.
Sometimes there are people who are constitutionally resistant to poison.
However even in that case it was to withstand or self-detoxify a general level of poison not the poison of the Permanent Sutra.
This extreme poison which can only be obtained through training with hundreds of different poisons is completely different from ordinary poisons.
It was impossible to withstand such an enormous poison with just one’s constitution.
“Are you making fun of the old man?”
“How could that be? “I just told the truth.”
“It’s true… I really like it. “If you do that Nobu will have to find out your secret himself.”
“My secret?”
“okay. “Come closer.”
-Papak!
Island Poison King Baek Saha extended his hand forward and pretended to pull it.
Then the surrounding true energy began to stir and soon Mo Kyung-un’s body was about to be dragged by it.
‘ah?’
Is this really a hollow object?
Mo Qingyun instinctively realized that this was Baek Sa-ha pulling him with his true energy.
Baek Sa-ha’s true spirit was definitely of a different level.
Amjongju was also strong but it was much more massive than that.
-Grrrrrrrrr!
Mo Gyeong-un’s feet dragged on the wooden floor.
However it actually moved at most a distance of two paces.
Baek Sa-ha the King of Island Poisons had a strange look in his eyes when he saw that he was not being dragged around as easily as expected.
‘Look at this guy.’
In my opinion it seemed like nothing more than the beginning of the climax.
But he was holding on to his true spirit.
At this level it was only possible to reach a state of transcendence.
‘He seems to have mastered the art of hiding his inner skills even from experts who are higher level than him. However Nobu’s inner strength is….’
-Papak!
Baek Saha reached out his hand once again and pulled it away.
Then a powerful force that was incomparable to before enveloped Mok Kyung-un’s body.
It was a novelty that was almost twice as big.
‘This…’
Mok Kyung-un let out a light breath and immediately surrendered himself to the true energy.
In order to withstand this it seems that the morale before the break must also be released but he didn’t seem to need to reveal that power.
-grasp!
Soon Mo Kyung-un’s body floated up and flew in front of Baek Sa-ha.
In that state when Baek Sa-ha gently traced the trajectory of the dance with the palm of his hand Mo Kyung-un’s body spun around and he was soon forced to sit on the floor.
‘You handle Jinki almost like it’s breathing.’
The title of ‘Five Kings’ was certainly not worthless.
A master who is close to the Hwagyeong can be like this but I can’t even imagine how strong those who have really overcome the wall will be.
Then Baek Saha opened his mouth.
“Now that I think about it you said you wanted to be taught by Nobu right?”
“yes.”
“Then tell me how you withstood Nobu’s poison. Depending on your answer I will decide whether or not to teach you.”
“That’s strange.”
“What’s so strange?”
“You can’t refuse according to the rules of the meeting but you’re talking as if you can refuse depending on how you feel.”
“Cluck click of course we have to follow the meeting rules.”
“however….”
“But wouldn’t it be possible for Nobu to just teach you how to peel a millet tree and send you away? “That too is a teaching.”
“Peeling the bark of a sorghum tree is not martial arts.”
“This is an example of how useless things can be taught.”
Hearing Baek Sa-ha’s words Mok Gyeong-un sighed and laughed.
As Amjongju said he was definitely eccentric and seemed to have his own stubbornness.
Mok Gyeong-un said this.
“Since you say so I have to be clear.”
“Cluck cluck. You’ve healed his heart well. So how did you survive Nobu’s dispatch to Germany?”
“It’s constitution.”
“….”
One of the island poison king Baek Sa-ha’s eyebrows rose.
Even if he wasn’t his face was purple so he looked fierce and grotesque and his expression seemed to change into that of a devil.
“I was thinking of talking nicely to your master but it seems he doesn’t want to.”
“I was honest.”
“frankness? good night. “Then if my constitution is as you said let’s see if I can endure this.”
“yes?”
-Whaaaa!
The moment he asked the question Baek Sa-ha’s hands turned purple.
It was more condensed than the form of the fog and far exceeded the venom from before.
The Island Poison King Baek Sa-ha said with a scary smile.
“Try to endure the old man’s perm hair technique.”
-Paaaaang!
Baek Sa-ha’s palm immediately hit Mo Kyung-un’s chest.
At that moment the back of his clothes tore and poisonous air came out through his back.
It was a phenomenon caused by the secret of Balgyeong.
Island Poison King Baek Saha raised the corner of his mouth slyly.
‘As the poison penetrates the five organs and six parts of the body must have been hit by the poison. I was wondering what kind of constitution it was but he put it right inside me so if you can try to relieve it.’
I was curious about how to relieve the poison.
It is clear that he has not learned the poison technique so he will have no choice but to reveal the secret.
I thought so
“How much can I endure?”
“…Are you sure it’s okay?”
“yes. “If you were testing whether the poison would work or not it would be a particularly useless thing considering your constitution.”
“What about you?”
Island Poison King Baek Sa-ha was dumbfounded.
The poison contained in the aforesaid jangbeop had enough power to kill even the most expert masters who would not be able to breathe properly if hit properly and would soon die.
But this guy was really busy with his mouth.
-Park!
Baek Sa-ha grabbed Mo Kyung-un by the collar and pulled him.
“What happened? “How can he withstand Nobu’s poison without even trying?”
“You’re asking the same question. “I have the same answer.”
“Nonsense!”
“It’s true.”
“Are you farming with the old man? The poison just now was at a level that could even melt stones. Do you think you can endure that simply with your constitution alone?”
“Hmm. “It seems unbelievable.”
“Would you believe it?”
“Are you really curious?”
“…Do you really want to die?”
-Whaaaa!
In an instant Baek Sa-ha’s anger surged and a strong poisonous energy and deadly force erupted from his whole body.
The force was so strong that his second son Baek So-gang was so nervous that he took a step back.
‘What are you going to do by provoking your father?’
I couldn’t figure out Mok Gyeong-un’s true intentions.
Rather than asking him to tell the secret in detail it would be enough to just tell him how he withstood the poison but by continuously provoking him he was provoking his father Baek Sa-ha the island poison king.
At that time Mok Gyeong-un opened his mouth.
“Actually there is a simple reason why I was able to withstand the old man’s poison.”
“Say it. “If you are going to play tricks on Nobu this time you will have to be very prepared regardless of whether you are a disciple of the female sect master or not.”
“All right. Since you are so uncomfortable there is no reason not to tell you.”
“joy. “There is no need to go around saying that you don’t want to die.”
“Let’s put it that way.”
“under….”
Baek Saha stuck out his tongue.
Even though he looked so angry this guy was saying what he wanted to say without even blinking an eye.
I didn’t know if he had lost his fear or if he was bold.
One thing is certain looking at this guy’s unwavering eyes it didn’t seem to be the former.
“Say it.”
“I have to speak only to the elders so I will be rude for a moment.”
“what?”
Mok Kyung-un lowered his head closer to him as he questioned him and whispered in his ear.
“You asked how I survived?”
“okay.”
“Have you ever been poisoned by eating the poison of Mayangcho?”
“Mayangcho’s poison? Why did Nobu become addicted to a weak poison that at most causes hives on the body?”
“That’s it.”
“what?”
“That’s why I have no effect on the old man’s poison.”
‘!?’
At that moment Baek Sa-ha’s expression became horribly distorted.
He tried to talk back but Mok Kyung-un’s words scratched his pride.
To put it bluntly Mo Kyung-un said this.
[The old man’s poison was weak and didn’t work.]
-Pud!
Baek Sa-ha gritted his molars strongly.
Are you saying that your poison which is one of the top three poisons in the entire Central Plains is weak?
Did this guy really want to die?
Digging his own grave.
“Cluck cluck. I guess you felt Nobu’s poison that much. If you do that I guess I’ll have to show you how poison Nobu truly is.”
‘Huh?’
At these words of Baek Sa-ha the poison king of the island his second son Baek So-gang’s eyes widened.
That was because he recognized the poison his father was about to show him.
Of course in the place where poison was cultivated there was something that could be called secret energy.
For example there is the shapeless poison of the Sacheon Dang family the Hapma Gyeongsa poison of the Guyang family and the Pama poison created by Baek Yu the founder and grandfather of the Baek family.
“Father!”
Surprised Baek Sogang called him.
Even at his call I didn’t even give him a blank look.
He seemed really angry.
‘no.’
Baek Sogang thought that this was not possible.
Permanent poison is literally the vision of Baekga and this poison is called instant death in ten steps and it was the worst poison so much so that one died before even walking ten steps.
“Father…”
It was the moment when Baek So-gang was about to approach his father to dissuade him.
Baek Saha the island poison king lightly stretched out his hand.
Then
-Cow!
The stone door that was half open at the entrance was closed.
Baek Xiaogang’s face became serious as the entrance was blocked.
He seems to be trying not to be disturbed.
‘It’s a big deal.’
At this rate his father might actually use perm poison to kill Mok Gyeong-un.
The problem is that this stone door is made so that it can be locked and opened from inside the practice room so if it is tightly locked from the inside it becomes difficult to break through.
-Thump thump!
“father! father!”
Baek Sa-ha said ignoring the faint knocking and calling sounds outside.
“Since you said you were so weak Nobu gave you the right poison….”
“It doesn’t seem to be completely soundproofed.”
“what?”
“Still I think we can have a quiet conversation at this level.”
Baek Sa-ha frowned at Mo Kyung-un’s words.
Could this guy have deliberately provoked himself into closing the door?
Baek Sa-ha said in an absurd voice.
“What kind of trick are you doing?”
“It’s not a masterpiece but I don’t think it will do any good since my constitution is widely known.”
“constitution?”
Does this guy still have that sound?
As he was doing this a sharp energy suddenly flowed from the index finger where Mo Gyeong-un’s index and middle fingers were gathered.
“What are you doing now….”
-Wow!
At that moment Mo Kyung-un lightly cut his palm.
Then blood started dripping onto the floor from the wound on his palm.
-Drop drip!
Baek Sa-ha asked frowning at the blood drops falling on the floor.
“What are you doing now?”
“I think I should show you the poison I have.”
“poison? “You can’t believe it now…”
Baek Sa-he looked at the blood flowing on Mo Qingyun’s palm with startled eyes.
What this guy is saying now
“…Are you saying there is poison in the blood?”
“yes. Would you like to try it?”
Mok Gyeong-un smiles and holds out his blood-stained hand.
‘!!!!’
Baeksaha’s expression turned into disbelief at this action.
There is a level that those who study poison in depth and practice poison techniques ultimately aim for.
That is to become a poisonous person whose flesh and blood are all made of poison.
This state of becoming poisonous to oneself was the highest state they pursued.
‘…Do you want to say that you have reached the point of being a poisoner?’
