< 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?’
Haeyoung Yakseon Munno’s warning caused Lee Gwang to stop going.
Even if you are unfamiliar with poison, there is a notorious poison that you have probably heard of at least once.
That was formless poison.
Intangible poison, it is literally a poison without 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.
[······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 no one else could match him. This is what he created by condensing all the poison energy he had achieved before his death. It was poison.
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, 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 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 around. Nope.
‘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 Munno so seriously 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 were you fighting with?]
[······.]
Haeyeong Yakseon Munno did not give any answer to his question.
Rather, he was controlling his breathing in silence.
Every time he exhaled, beads of sweat were flowing down and a light haze was rising over his shoulders.
[Huu······Huu······. Cluck cluck.]
It looked very difficult.
Munno, known to the world, was given the title of Yakseon (藥仙), along with Hoetamyeong (懷他鳴醫), for having 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 Tang family, Ouyang family, and Baek family, which are known as 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 enough authority to even boldly use intangible poison, which is an absolute taboo in Jeongdo Murim.
In the Sacheondang family, those who are worthy of that are,
‘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 it as competition.
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.
Therefore,
-Sigh!
Lee Gwang pulled out the black sword he was wearing at his waist.
Since he kept avoiding conversation, I felt like I had no choice but to use my strength.
However, if you were truly poisoned by the intangible poison, you should refrain from getting close to it.
Although it is said that it is possible to overcome walls and handle real energy like breathing, the intangible poison, known as the king of poisons, has a different course, so one had no choice but to be careful.
-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 had been engrossed in fortune telling without answering, opened his mouth.
[haha······. You don’t know anything.]
[······What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I 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 about to use his hand, paused 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, I needed to hear it first.
[Moonno. If you want to save your life, tell me straight.]
[Be on guard, for the incarnation of Ahriman, who will color the sacred flame with black evil, will appear in this world.]
okay.
That was the 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 said to have read the prophecy right next to him do such a thing because he was protecting the law? Your brothers and sisters paid the price for the sins you committed.]
[It is not the old man’s fault. haha······. Her interpretation has lost its direction.]
[directional?]
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 kind of nonsense is this old man…]
[Cluck, cough, cough… The coins of the Western 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 be completely crazy due to evil, but I will give him a chance because of his old feelings.]
[······.]
[Where did you steal the prophecy, or rather 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.
[Smile?]
[She has lost her qualifications.]
[What are you talking about?]
[What does Nobu mean…? Cluck cluck… 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 had even 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!
Although Munno was unable to control his body due to the intangible poison, he moved his body to avoid it.
However, because his body was already damaged, he did not move as he expected.
-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.
-Tutututututuk!
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 Lee Gwang, as if his anger did not subside, tried to throw another sword at the fallen Munno to finish him off.
[You brought this on yourself. old······]
It was that moment.
-Startle!
‘what?’
At that moment, I felt a tremendous energy that sent shivers down my spine.
The energy was enough to make even myself who had climbed over the wall become nervous for a moment, so I had no choice but to stop using my hands.
‘Has the ghost sword returned?’
If that’s the case, you need to get out of there quickly.
This was because the work had to be carried out 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.
* * *
“mind······. Although he did help in the end, Munno ended up being an indestructible poison anyway…”
-Kwasik! Kwasik! Quad deuk!
Lee Gwang, who was talking about that time as if he was reminiscing, was unable to continue speaking.
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
-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 Mok Gyeong-un’s face.
He confessed what had happened in order to wish for his own death, but it ended up being worse than he had hoped for.
‘Soo, I can’t breathe.’
It seems like the area around him and the guy has become a vacuum.
How strong must the murderous intent be to be categorized like this?
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
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.
martial arts,
