Chapter 119
[To repay the debt you owe me, you’ll need to survive first, won’t you?]
“What are you saying… Ugh…”
Thunk. Thuunk. Thunk.
Acupuncture needles pierced into his body.
Even though the needles were being inserted, he felt no pain.
Instead, he felt pleasure.
Was it his imagination that his body seemed to be recovering?
‘It’s not my imagination. The pain has subsided.’
Both the physical pain and the Internal Energy that had been struggling with his leaping had calmed down.
This seemed like it was actually providing healing.
When he tried to look for Jung Myeong in his confusion, his figure was already far away.
‘What is this…!’
He was bewildered.
Questions bloomed in his mind.
Things were going as he wanted. Was he really going to erase all of Dokgak’s secret manuals on this mountain?
And what was this treatment about?
Even if it was temporary, this level of treatment was sufficient.
It could only benefit him immediately.
“That guy’s injured, isn’t he?”
“Wind Heaven Sect, was it? That’s quite a famous place.”
“Well then, shall we try to obtain that guy’s martial arts?”
At least he could handle the pack of hyenas coming after him right now.
That’s why Wind Heaven Moon Breaking Sword found it so difficult to understand.
‘If things go according to my will, then the rumors are true. But what exactly is this?’
According to the rumors, it meant the story about Jung Myeong burning Dokgak’s secret manuals was true.
If so, couldn’t he just burn them and leave now?
But why, instead of burning them, did he retrieve what he had?
His words and actions didn’t match.
Just as his confusion was growing,
There was a shout that made his bewilderment even greater.
“I have claimed the Poison Horn Secret Manual!”
Jung Myeong’s voice rang out in a clear Lion’s Roar that thunderously covered the mountain.
“The Poison Demon Physician has claimed the secret manual!”
“He has monopolized the secret manual!”
“The Poison Demon Physician possesses the real secret manual!”
Following that, the voices of the Old Man, Young Man, and Woman could also be heard.
“What the hell is…”
“What’s going on?”
“Are they really doing such nonsense just because they got the secret manual?”
Wind Heaven Moon Breaking Sword and the remaining Martial Artists couldn’t understand what was happening at all.
* * *
Not all Murim People are fools.
Few were immediately swayed by Jung Myeong’s shout.
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
“The secret manual is right here too, isn’t it?”
But they couldn’t help but be shaken at first.
“Still, just in case…”
“Hmm… He’s someone who always just burned the secret manuals.”
“But why didn’t he burn it this time?”
“That’s the problem. And… why is he revealing that he has the secret manual himself?”
Even while being shaken, there were suspicious points.
At this moment, two things came into play.
The Beggar’s Sect moved cautiously.
-Jung Myeong really has the genuine secret manual!
Their specialty was handling information.
Spreading rumors in the midst of chaos was not difficult for the Beggar’s Sect.
On top of this, what some unknown individuals had prepared added fuel to the fire.
‘It’s a formation.’
[Status Abnormality: Impulse occurs.]
[Resistance successful.]
This place. There was a subtle and massive formation here that greatly amplified small emotions.
To borrow Strange Madman’s words, it was a formation that was difficult to even notice because it used divine power.
Its effect was the enhancement of impulses!
The effect of such a formation was being manifested.
“There’s no secret manual here either!”
“They burned it again!”
“Aaahhh!”
The craving for the secret manual grew larger than suspicion.
The impulse called greed clouded their eyes.
“That guy Jung Myeong over there has a secret manual, right?”
“Then…”
“Let’s target that instead!”
“Isn’t that the real one?”
The moment they were captivated by desire rather than reason.
They had no choice but to be swayed.
“Either way, if we can’t get the secret manual, isn’t it right to target what the Poison Demon Physician has?”
“What if we die?”
“He doesn’t kill everyone, does he?”
“Hah… There are plenty of guys who died while paralyzed. They say there are many who came out to strip everything clean.”
“Then don’t say anything. Just tuck your tail and run away after coming this far.”
“…”
“Isn’t it competition anyway? If everyone here swarms him, can even that Poison Demon handle it? Won’t he die?”
“!!!”
“Let’s go.”
Agitators appeared from various places as if they had been waiting.
All the agitators must have known this would call for bloodshed.
Yet such people emerged from everywhere.
As if they desired blood.
The stage was set just as Jung Myeong wanted.
On that stage, Jung Myeong faced them head-on and shouted.
“Come on!”
* * *
With the cliff at his back.
There was a separate entrance coming from the front. It was a structure where they couldn’t attack from behind.
Jung Myeong had set up a desperate last stand formation in this place he had cleverly found.
Even so, the front was still wide open.
It was a structure where dozens of people could attack him.
In such a place, Jung Myeong was boldly shouting.
Come on!
Come and try to take what’s his.
Was that not enough?
He performed the ridiculous trick of wrapping the Secret Manual with Sword Ki.
Thud!
In that state, he drove it into the cliff.
With only half the Secret Manual remaining, it was showing its inner contents to the Martial Artists.
To the Martial Artists, this became a maddening temptation.
Even if a peerless beauty came, she wouldn’t be more seductive than this!
“Hah…”
“If I could just get that…!”
The sound of swallowing saliva could be heard from everywhere.
It was a powerful provocation. As desire blazed up, the surrounding heat grew hot.
That’s when it happened.
“Attack!”
The Hangzhou Martial Artists called the Blood Hand Five Demons charged forward as the vanguard.
Unable to overcome the violent nature they had gained from learning the Blood Crow Technique, they burst forward.
As if he had been waiting for this, Jung Myeong made his move.
Whoooosh-!
‘Start strong!’
A baptism of Hidden Weapons poured down like rain over the heads of the Blood Hand Five Demons.
Thud thud thud! Thud!
From above to below. The speed of the hidden weapons falling with gravity was faster than expected.
“Kuk…!”
“Kraak!”
The brains of the Blood Hand Five Demons who raised their heads were pierced through.
Blood poured out through the gaps between the holes.
Rain made of blood shot upward.
Blood rain shooting up from the ground to the sky!
As if madness was contained within it.
“Let’s go!”
“Now’s the time!”
As if targeting that gap, a group of people rushed forward.
Groups like the Blood Hand Five Demons and Iron Three Banner all charged at once.
There were also Wandering Warriors weaving through this gap.
Those who had been working together formed teams with each other, or went solo like true wandering warriors.
Either way, their direction was all the same.
Whoooosh-!
It was toward Jung Myeong.
Their calculation was simple.
‘We can reach him!’
‘Soon!’
How could one hand block a hundred? Even if he blocked a hundred, how could he block a thousand?
In the end, they just needed to reach him.
There was no need to defeat Jung Myeong.
The secret manual embedded in the wall! If they could just obtain that secret manual, it would be their victory.
There was nothing to think about after that.
For those caught up in impulse, only what was right before their eyes mattered.
And so, filled with madness, everyone rushed toward Jung Myeong.
However, there was one thing they should not have forgotten.
Jung Myeong, who was called the Poison Demon Physician.
The fact that even though he had drawn his hidden weapons, he had not yet drawn his poison!
“Keoook….”
“Kuk!”
“Po, poison….”
Kuuung. Thud. Those who had been charging suddenly collapsed.
As if overcome with pain, they clutched their own throats, and many began drooling through their gaping mouths.
“Aaaaah!”
“S-save me! I didn’t kill because I wanted to! It wasn’t like that!”
“Young-ah! Ahhh…! How are you here!”
Many began seeing illusions as well.
It was poison!
And an incredibly diverse array of poisons was tormenting them.
Where exactly had the poison come from?
The answer was not far away.
“Blood rain! That blood!”
Blood. The blood that had shot up after devouring the Blood Hand Five Demons!
That blood contained poison that Jung Myeong had planted.
He had made the blood rain shoot up to poison everyone.
By the time they realized this, it was already too late.
“Ugh…! I stepped on it! Cough…!”
Just touching the ground with their feet activated the acidic poison.
The shoes that had protected their feet had long since melted away.
Even their feet melted, revealing bright red muscle beneath.
The blood flowing through spread out once again.
Rather than being absorbed into the ground, the blood that spread around flowed like water, spreading to the surroundings.
“Uuugh…”
Touching the flowing poison caused poisoning symptoms.
It melted, scraped at nerves, and showed hallucinations.
It was a compound poison!
A simple single poison could never create such effects.
Hissssss-
The tremendous poison spread as if boasting of its capabilities.
Blood Sea. It was truly a sea of blood.
Jung Myeong stood alone and confidently above it all.
He was dominating everything around him.
* * *
Kwagagagagak-! Kwagwang!
The bloodbath that continued to unfold.
There were two figures watching it from far above.
“….”
“….”
As if the great distance posed no obstacle, the two reacted every time the explosive sounds of the bloodbath below erupted.
One of the two.
The one covering half his face with a mask had the appearance of a young man.
From the outside, he looked handsome enough to draw attention.
However, those who noticed this mask would never dare consider him a mere young man.
The ghost mask he wore was the symbol of Ghost Face Prince!
Ghost Face Prince, notorious as a lust maniac. The one who had sacrificed countless women as offerings to his Lust Arts to maintain his youthful form was the true identity of the figure before them now.
He frowned with displeasure on his half-revealed face.
“Old Master. According to what you said, something like this shouldn’t be happening right now, should it?”
“….”
He pressed the old man beside him.
The one called Old Master also seemed similar to Ghost Face Prince.
His maintenance of a pure white appearance like an immortal seemed completely out of place in this setting where bloodshed was occurring.
However, this too was ultimately a means to conceal his true nature.
“Why don’t you say something? This is a game you set up, Old Master, but it’s not going according to plan, is it?”
“….”
According to Ghost Face Prince’s words.
This bloodbath was the old man’s design.
“Ha. How long do you plan to stay silent? Don’t you know that everything I say will be reported to the Guild Master?”
“….”
“If the Guild Master finds out, he’ll crack your skull open, won’t he? No wait, he’ll probably make it so you can neither die nor live.”
“….”
“Huh! Say something, anything!”
Guild Master. Only at that word did his eyebrows twitch briefly. The old man showed no further reaction.
Was this what made him lose his temper?
Ghost Face Prince finally crossed the line.
“I brought you here because you said you could see the future. But instead of having the Divine Eye, you have the Shit Eye. You’re a shit-seer. A shit-seer!”
It was an instant.
Swiiish-
A response came to that.
