Chapter 37
Kwaaaaang!
A rough explosion filled the surroundings, and then the ground began to collapse.
“This crazy bastard!”
“He’s destroying the ground!”
‘Think that if you want.’
In reality, he hadn’t destroyed the ground.
He had simply connected what was originally empty. The Earth Cave that had been useful against previous intruders as well.
He had brought that out.
In exchange for that.
[The formation’s energy is dispersing.]
[The formation has been destroyed.]
[Skill: Formation Dissolution experience gained.]
The past three months. The formation he had poured Gold Ingots into was partially dissolved.
‘That’s fine. I made it to survive anyway.’
However, Jung Myeong’s expression, having directly created that result, was calm.
Because he knew well that survival was more important than money!
Pusheek-!
The Smoke that spread below the broken ground plunged down into the hole that formed further below.
‘Good.’
As soon as he broke the situation, things went according to his intention.
When the Smoke disappeared, all directions that had been blocked by the Smoke instantly turned into escape routes.
“Aaaaah!”
Several Assassins couldn’t avoid the collapsing ground and were buried along with it.
“Wha…!”
“Damn it. For this!”
As a result.
The Assassins were flustered.
Those who fell together tried to jump back up, but.
“Keurk…”
“Th, this is…”
“It’s poisoning.”
The poison mist they had set up held them back.
Rather than scattering as it plunged underground, hadn’t it concentrated instead?
Naturally, the concentration of the Cloud Mist increased.
It had broken through their resistance.
“Kuk…”
Thus, the number of those who had collapsed rapidly decreased.
While all the Assassins were flustered, Jung Myeong began to act.
“Kek!”
Kwajjeujjeuk-!
He slashed the throat of the Assassin right in front of him, and simultaneously drew out acupuncture needles from his chest with his left hand and shot them.
Pushushshuk-
The perfected Three Origin Poison Art.
This was the Hidden Weapon Technique of Three Origin Kill deployed based on that.
Those struck by it collapsed without even being able to scream.
Chajajajang-!
The manifestation of over ten Martial Techniques in an instant!
How could they withstand this?
“Geurreuk…”
“Poisoning!”
“This crazy Physician!”
The remaining Assassins writhed and charged at him, but it was useless.
When he couldn’t guarantee victory even in an advantageous situation, how could he dare speak of victory in this disadvantageous situation?
Kuuung. Kung.
The number of Assassins rapidly decreased.
Even that became countable on one hand.
The moment only a small number remained.
[Vice Guild Master!]
[Run away!]
The Vice Guild Master, who belatedly grasped the situation, ordered a retreat, but.
There was no way Jung Myeong would allow that.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
Jung Myeong’s body followed behind the scattering Assassins.
Kwajjeujjeuk-
Striking down and crushing a back, four remained.
Hitting a distant fleeing one with an acupuncture needle, three remained.
The last two tried to split up and flee in different directions, but.
‘You can’t go.’
Jung Myeong threw a move they never could have imagined.
Swoooosh-!
I threw the sword that was gripped in my hand.
Since a sword has more weight than an acupuncture needle, it consumes more internal energy.
But that means it can be shot with much greater power.
“Kuk…!”
Puhwaak-
The body of the one going left split apart and died instantly.
And there was one remaining.
Jung Myeong personally pursued him.
Internal energy exceeding sixty years instantly increased his speed.
The speed he achieved was tremendous.
Whoooosh!
The distance closed in an instant.
“Hiiik…!”
The distance to the last remaining assassin was only two steps!
Just before that distance became one step.
Thwack!
Jung Myeong’s hand struck his back.
“Keoook…!”
The Vice Sect Leader who remained until the end.
Jung Myeong’s hand, loaded with internal energy, exploded against his back.
How could he endure it?
As soon as the Vice Sect Leader’s face hidden beneath the face mask contorted.
‘No, this can’t be…’
His vision became dizzy.
Because Jung Myeong struck his back and dealt a deep blow to the pressure points beneath his skin.
He should have at least bitten down on a poison pill.
‘My eyes…’
He wasn’t even given that opportunity.
Thud.
As a result, the Vice Sect Leader’s body collapsed to the ground.
* * *
“Whew…”
“You’ve worked hard.”
It was Jung Myeong’s clean victory.
However, the surroundings were chaotic enough to be called a mess.
It couldn’t be helped.
“This formation you worked so hard to set up… I’m sorry.”
“Oh my. Are you really worrying about that?”
Gal Tae-gyeong.
Because the formation he had created was destroyed and the earth cave that had been carefully arranged was revealed again.
The corpses of assassins and unconscious bodies scattered everywhere added to the scene.
Hissss-
The poison smoke wasn’t dispersing and was still swirling inside.
The scene before their eyes looked more like a battlefield than a medical clinic.
It was a grim sight.
Gal Tae-gyeong’s words upon seeing this were quite something.
“Anyway, I hate assassins.”
He says he hates them again.
“Puhahahat.”
“Why are you laughing?”
At this, Jung Myeong couldn’t help but burst into laughter, forgetting even the grim scene.
Because it was so typical of Gal Tae-gyeong.
Though Gal Tae-gyeong seemed not to understand.
“It seems like you hate a lot of things. Hehe.”
“Don’t you hate them? Every time I make a good formation, these bastards come and destroy it.”
“But thanks to that, you have work, don’t you?”
“Hmph. Should I be happy about it then?”
“Well, that doesn’t make sense either.”
Gal Tae-gyeong’s words were also right.
Indeed, it wasn’t something to be happy about.
Anyway.
“Now we need to clean up from here.”
“That’s right. Where should we even start… Tsk. We seem to be short-handed.”
They had to clean up this mess.
Even if the smoke could be purified in the long term, they first had to clear it so it wouldn’t be visible.
They were short-handed for this sudden situation.
Just as he was about to let out a sigh.
“Physician! Physician!”
“It looks like new help is coming?”
“Ha, that guy went away quickly and is coming back again. Really.”
Just then, someone arrived.
* * *
It was Song In.
‘What on earth…’
Song In, who rarely got surprised.
Even for him, the current situation was quite astonishing.
He had moved expecting trouble to come. But who could have known that Donghwa Guild would move this quickly.
‘I rushed here as soon as the explosion sounded…’
The explosion had erupted and he had to rush urgently from then on.
He thought he could at least lend a hand somehow.
“Why are you so flustered?”
“How, how did you…”
“Finish so quickly?”
“That’s right.”
Everything had already been taken care of.
“The Physician handled it.”
“Hey, the Formation Master also lent a hand.”
“Ha. What did I even do to deserve such words. Though, that guy over there really didn’t do anything. Anyway, I hate slow people.”
“Kekeke…”
By those two who were joking around.
Song In could only let out a gasp of amazement.
‘They’re definitely a proper group of assassins, aren’t they?’
There are preconceptions that assassins must maintain silence or move very stealthily.
What’s important isn’t such preconceptions.
Whether they can kill their assassination target or not.
That one thing was most important.
When viewed by that standard.
The level of the assassins lying down there was quite remarkable.
The traces of battle remaining everywhere. The poison mist still swirling around.
Various things were evidence proving the assassins’ abilities.
Having dealt with such people so quickly.
“You’re… saying quite something. Anyway… are you alright?”
“Yes. Thanks to you, I’m fine.”
Wasn’t it an attitude as if they had just come out for a stroll.
Even giving kind words to Song In in the midst of it all.
As he was getting flustered by this.
“To say thanks to me… I think I was quite late.”
“Haha. Isn’t it enough that you came?”
“That’s…”
“But you came alone? Hmm…”
The more the conversation progressed, the more flustered Song In became.
“That is…”
“Ah. I think I know without you having to say it. Roughly.”
“Pardon?”
“Escort Leader, no. Perhaps you’re no longer an Escort Leader now. You came here wagering quite a lot, didn’t you?”
“How did you know that?”
“Isn’t it obvious at a glance? The torn Escort Agency insignia. Your hurried appearance. Plus coming here alone. This much is enough to figure out.”
“Huh…”
After showing sharp eyes.
He had deduced the entire situation.
“Are you a fortune teller rather than a physician?”
“Puhaha. It’s just a small skill.”
“Calling that a small skill. Anyway… I’m relieved.”
“Yes. For now, it’s a relief.”
Still, should he say it was thanks to that.
Once his surprise had somewhat subsided.
Song In was able to regain his composure.
Having regained his senses.
Just as he was about to talk about what comes next.
Jung Myeong struck first.
“When you say for now…”
“The finishing touches haven’t been done yet. How about it, if you’re alright with it, could you help with the finishing touches?”
“Pardon? If it’s cleanup, we can do it together…”
“It is cleanup, but the type will be a bit different from what you’re thinking.”
“Don’t tell me…”
“The finishing touches must be done properly.”
A more thorough finishing than what Song In had thought.
That’s what Jung Myeong was talking about.
It was a more decisive first move than anyone else’s.
* * *
Jung Myeong, who had struck first. He handled the matter in an instant.
The Vice Sect Leader whom he had deliberately kept alive.
He took him to the Alchemy Room.
Then he greatly increased the fire energy inside the Alchemy Room and disrupted the balance of the Five Elements.
Kwazzzzeuk-
He instantly tore apart and destroyed the Vice Sect Leader’s Internal Energy.
“Kraaaaak!”
Crack. Crackcrackcrack.
He immediately performed the Bone Breaking Technique.
How could anyone endure this.
“I’ll, I’ll talk! I said I’ll talk!”
No matter how much he was the Vice Sect Leader of an Assassin Sect, it was difficult to endure this.
‘Why isn’t this here?’
The Poison Pill in his molars had been removed long ago, so he couldn’t even choose death himself.
In this situation, all he could do was confess.
“Where did you come from?”
“As, Assassins… kuk…”
“Where, I said?”
“Ja, Jangwol Gate…”
“Good. Location.”
“North… kut.”
“Precisely.”
“Beyond the Market…”
“Good. Let’s go next.”
Subduing the Vice Sect Leader.
The time it took to extract the necessary information from him was merely a moment.
A completely different appearance from usual.
At that iron-blooded appearance.
‘Huh. The Physician is really…’
‘This is his hidden side.’
Song In and Gal Tae-gyeong couldn’t help but rub their eyes in amazement.
They never imagined that someone who saves lives, someone who seemed like a pushover to put it badly, could show such an appearance.
However. They weren’t disappointed seeing that.
‘If he’s this capable…’
‘Rather, he’s quite good.’
Meanwhile, having extracted information in an instant, he said.
“Let’s go.”
“Right now?”
“The longer we delay, the more they’ll prepare.”
“…If you say so.”
The Assassin Sect Jangwol Gate.
They immediately headed toward it.
In reality, since most of the forces that Jangwol Gate could mobilize were almost dead, there was no way they could retaliate.
‘There’s no reason to be complacent.’
Jung Myeong didn’t consider that far.
He only wanted to handle things thoroughly.
“It’s as we heard. There it is.”
“That seems to be it.”
They quickly reached the Jangwolmun Main Base.
Jung Myeong’s eyes, standing before it, gleamed with killing intent.
