< Episode 87: Piece of Truth (3) >
[If you don’t want to be poisoned by the intangible poison it would be best to stay away.]
‘Intangible poison?’
At Haeyoung Yakseon Munno’s warning Lee Gwang stopped going.
Even if you are unfamiliar with poison there is a notorious poison that you have probably heard of at least once.
That was the formless poison.
Intangible Poison It is literally a poison without a form and is called the king of poisons because it is colorless odorless and tasteless and cannot be characterized.
The more excellent a poison is the more it has no distinctive features so it is inevitable that you will be poisoned without even knowing that you have been poisoned but this intangible poison could be said to be the highest peak.
[…What do you mean by intangible poison? What does that mean?]
Lee Gwang asked puzzled.
That’s right the only one in the whole of the Central Plains who has the title of Intangible Poison is Jewon Dok (帝元毒) who is called the Geukdok Vision of Sicheondangga.
Jewondog was created by Danghyeongwon the founder of Dangga.
He was the king of poisons who reached the level of mastering all poisons and his skill in making poisons was so gifted that it was unrivaled. Before his death he condensed all the poison energy he had achieved and created this Jewondok. It was.
This poison called perfection itself was a legendary poison that past Tang Dynasty poison masters could not reproduce no matter how much they tried to analyze and reproduce it.
This poison of which only a very small amount remains today was called an intangible poison by the people of Central Plains and its danger was so severe that it was decided as an absolute taboo through a great meeting of the Jeongdo clan.
[Are you sure you are referring to the intangible poison that you know?]
[Cluck cough… Do you think there are other intangible poisons?]
‘!?’
What nonsense is this?
Doesn’t that mean that Haeyoung Yakseon Munno is now addicted to an intangible poison?
In a short moment several hypotheses arose in Lee Gwang’s mind.
However the one thing that I did not understand among the assumptions was that there was no way the ghost sword could use poisonous water.
‘That can’t be possible.’
The ghost sword takes great pride in its own swordsmanship.
Therefore he never uses any weapons or martial arts other than the sword.
Lee Gwang’s eyes turned to the traces around him.
He was the one who was puzzled by the fact that there were no sword marks.
This is
‘…I didn’t fight the Demon Sword Lord.’
These were traces of a fight with another person.
Then why on earth did the Demon Sword Lord leave this place in such a hurry?
Uncharacteristically he hurriedly chases after something without even looking at his surroundings… That’s not right.
‘You didn’t go as if you were being chased but you were trying to chase me?’
okay.
That’s it.
The ghost sword hurried as if following someone’s traces.
The person he was chasing was the person who had injured Haeyeong Yakseon Munno so badly that it was difficult for him to even stand.
Lee Gwang who was sure of the entire situation opened his mouth as if it were a coincidence.
[Moonno. Who on earth did he fight with?]
[….]
Haeyeong Yakseon Munno did not give any answer to his question.
He was rather controlling his breathing in silence.
Every time he exhaled beads of sweat were flowing down and a light haze was rising over his shoulders.
[Whoa…Whoa…. Cough cluck.]
It looked very difficult.
Munno who was known to the world was given the title of Yakseon (藥仙) along with Hoetamyeong (懷他鳴醫) as he was said to have the best medicinal materials and medical knowledge of his time.
However his hidden side was that he was a super expert who had reached the level of the Baek family of the Tang family and the Ouyang family which are called famous poison families.
That inaction was enough to defeat even the first-class demon sword in the past.
Who on earth is it that the person who defeated him appears?
-Ssssss!
A haze escaping from that body.
No matter how I looked at it it seemed to dispel the poisonous energy.
Two people came to Lee Gwang’s mind.
They were Guyangso the head of the Paldoksaji family who rose to the peak through poisoning and Dan Inhae the head of the Sacheondang family one of the seven major families.
‘If that’s really an intangible poison….’
It means that the person who fought him was an expert of the Sichuan Tang Dynasty.
And he is a person who has the authority to even boldly use intangible poison which is an absolute taboo in Jeongdo Murim.
In Sacheondangga a person worthy of such a thing is
‘A thousand eagle beast?’
Lee Gwang couldn’t help but feel doubtful.
I couldn’t be absolutely certain that it was him but as of now the most likely possibility was that it was a poisonous sea vulture.
But why did Tang Inhae the Cheonvenomous Beast come all the way here and compete with Munno?
No it was hard to even see him competing.
It was safe to say that he was desperately trying to kill his opponent when he used the intangible poison.
But I don’t understand.
‘Why? There would be no reason for the Sacheondang family to quarrel with Munno.’
No matter how much I thought about it it was like that.
Munno’s true identity as known to the public was that he was a medicinal herb with a high reputation among all people.
Unless his hidden identity is revealed…
‘ah!’
Lee Gwang opened his mouth as if he finally understood.
[Did the Sacheondang family find out that you were a member of the Baehwa Church?]
Otherwise there was no reason to come and kill him in seclusion.
Despite his confident question Munno was silently taking time to relieve the poison and recover.
hereto
-Sigh!
Lee Gwang pulled out the black sword he was wearing at his waist.
He kept avoiding conversation so it seemed like he had no choice but to use his strength.
However if he was truly poisoned by the intangible poison he should refrain from getting close.
Although he is said to be able to overcome walls and manipulate real energy like breathing he had no choice but to be careful when it comes to the intangible poison known as the king of poisons because its course is different.
-Wow!
Lee Gwang who raised a sword took aim at Munno and said.
[If you keep shutting your mouth for some reason I won’t ask any more questions. However I need to know where the prophecy was hidden.]
[….]
[Now that I can’t even breathe properly I can easily kill you with just a few days. So tell me.]
Lee Gwang threatened him and persuaded him.
Then Munno who was engrossed in fortune telling without answering opened his mouth.
[Ha…ha…. You guys don’t know anything.]
[…What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Does he think he can’t kill you? There has already been an order to end your life if necessary.]
[That’s not important. Cluck cluck. But you must know the truth.]
[Answering a classmate’s book. If you keep coming out like this….]
[The prophecy was wrong.]
‘!?’
Lee Gwang who was trying to use his hand stopped for a moment.
What is this old man talking about now?
The prophecy was wrong?
Even so he was puzzled by the news that Munno had suddenly disappeared 17 years ago taking the prophecy with him.
[…What are you talking about now?]
Does this old man know something about prophecy?
If that was the case he needed to hear it first.
[Moonno. If you want to save his life tell him straight.]
[Be on guard for the incarnation of Ahriman who will color the sacred flame… with black evil will appear in this world.]
okay.
It was that prophecy.
The moment Seonghwaryeongju made that prophecy and Haeyeongyakseon Munno betrayed and ran away 17 years ago the relationship between the organization and Baehwagyo reached a catastrophe.
[Why did the person who was right next to me hear the prophecy because he was protecting the law do something like that? Your brothers and sisters paid the price for the sins you committed.]
[It is not the old man’s fault. Ha…ha…. Her interpretation has lost its direction.]
[Direction?]
What does it mean that her interpretation is directionless?
Are you really talking about Holy Spirit Spell?
While I was puzzled Munno continued speaking.
[It is not an incarnation to be wary of as interpreted.]
[What nonsense is this old man talking about…]
[Cluck cluck… The coins of the West Region have different patterns on the front and back but no matter which way you look at them they are ultimately one.]
Lee Gwang clicked his tongue.
I couldn’t understand what was being said.
Has he gone crazy while living in seclusion?
The incarnation of evil is not the one we need to be wary of now?
Was it because of this?
Munno This old man has gone crazy and seems to be the embodiment of evil.
He may have fallen into such serious evil that he turned his back on everyone and ran away.
This seemed to be the reason why the superiors ordered that Yakseon Munno be dealt with if he did not reveal anything.
In any case it seemed like I couldn’t find out anything about him.
[The old man seems to have gone completely crazy due to evil but I will give him a chance based on his past feelings.]
[….]
[Where did you steal the prophecy or the incarnation of Ahriman? Anyway even if it’s not you he will soon find out when he catches that old man.]
Munno chuckled at his words.
[Are you laughing?]
[She lost her qualifications.]
[What are you talking about?]
[What the old man means… cough cough… your great master will know better.]
The moment the word “owner” was said Lee Gwang’s eyes changed.
To him he was a lord whom he had served since time immemorial and a god to be worshiped.
How dare you mention him like that?
[Is the sinner who stole the Avatar now trying to blaspheme Him?]
[It’s really unfortunate. Mokgan (目艮) is the one who blinded her and caused all these troubles…]
[shut up!]
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chach!
It was before Munno finished speaking.
Lee Gwang who could not hold back his anger fired a series of tangeomgang attacks with all his might along with Ilgal.
-Pot!
Munno was unable to control his body due to the intangible poison but he moved his body to avoid it.
However he did not move as he thought because his body was already broken.
-Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-chach!
The first bullet that struck his jumping body split his waist and subsequent tangeom rivers split his lower body into pieces.
-Tu-tu-tu-tu-tuk!
Munno fell between the lower bodies which were split apart and turned into pieces of meat.
-thud!
The sight of him with only his upper body remaining and his organs pulled out was truly horrific.
It was already difficult to survive in this state alone but as if his anger did not subside Lee Gwang tried to throw the sword sword again at the fallen Munno to finish him off.
[You brought this on yourself. old…]
It was that moment.
-Shudder!
‘what?’
At that moment he felt a tremendous energy that sent shivers down his spine.
As he climbed over the wall he had enough energy to make even himself nervous for a moment so he had no choice but to stop using his hands.
‘Has the ghost sword returned?’
If that’s the case he needs to get out quickly.
This was because he had to carry out the work secretly so that the ghost sword would not find out.
Anyway since he was poisoned by the intangible poison and his lower body was blown off that old man Munno will never survive.
Lee Gwang without hesitation launched the new weapon in the opposite direction.
* * *
“Ma… He did help in the end but Munno ended up being an indestructible poison anyway…”
-Kwasik! Kwasik! Quad deuk!
As he recalled Lee Gwang who was talking about that time could not continue his words.
The reason was that the more I spoke the heavier the air became making it difficult to breathe.
But that wasn’t the end.
The floor around him trembled strongly and soon cracked even cracking.
-Shhhh!
Even the rainwater that was pouring down was flowing backwards.
The rainwater flowing backwards evaporated and turned into steam a very strange sight.
Lee Gwang couldn’t bear to look at his Mok Gyeong-un’s face.
He confessed what had happened in order to wish for his own death but this ended up being worse than he had hoped for.
‘I can’t breathe.’
He feels as if a vacuum has formed around him and the bastard.
How strong does a murderous intent have to be to be typed like this?
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk……”
As he was coughing up blood in pain he heard Mok Gyeong-un’s voice in his ear.
“It wasn’t something that would end with you alone.”
what?
This guy’s tone suddenly changed.
The way he spoke changed and Lee Gwang puzzled by the change in atmosphere raised his head without realizing it.
‘!!!!!!!’
I saw that Mo Kyung-un’s eyes were as black as obsidian.
