Chapter 191. How Bland

 

 

“Ha Mu-baek….”

Gwang Hoe-cheon glared and muttered.

“You must be Gwang Hoe-cheon?”

Ha Mu-baek faced him and spoke.

“How are you perfectly fine? If you ate that much food, the Jamhon Poison should have definitely manifested….”

Ha Mu-baek chuckled softly.

Step.

Ha Mu-baek moved his feet.

The place he positioned himself was in front of Yeo Hwa and Dan Mok Un-hye.

He stood with his back to the two women, facing Gwang Hoe-cheon.

“Did you come here targeting the Dan Mok Family Secret Vault?”

“How do you know that fact?”

At Ha Mu-baek’s question, Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Because I heard it. How the Dan Mok Family was annihilated.”

Ha Mu-baek clenched and unclenched his fist as he spoke.

The moment those words came out, Yeo Hwa’s eyes blazed with resentment once again.

Dan Mok Un-hye still looked frightened by the sudden situation.

Ha Mu-baek looked at Gwang Hoe-cheon with an expressionless face.

Gwang Hoe-cheon glared at such Ha Mu-baek.

He gritted his teeth tightly.

The person who should have naturally been poisoned by Jamhon Poison and become a Sik Gang-si was standing before his eyes.

His mind became complicated.

He had already consumed a considerable amount of internal energy while dealing with Byeokryeokgae.

And at that moment, a formidable enemy appeared before his eyes.

It was beyond his calculations.

When he heard that Ha Mu-baek had eaten an enormous amount of food at Wolryong Inn.

He thought Ha Mu-baek would be affected by Jamhon Poison and become a Sik Gang-si.

‘Damn it…. How did that fucking bastard.’

Sweat beaded up on Gwang Hoe-cheon’s back as he faced off against Ha Mu-baek.

“You were trying to turn Muchang completely upside down.”

Ha Mu-baek spoke in a cold voice.

“Five hundred Sik Gang-si.”

At the following words, Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes trembled finely. How did that bastard know about that?

“Did you catch the messenger pigeon?”

The first thing he could assume was that.

Ha Mu-baek chuckled and nodded his head.

“That’s right. I figured there would be someone like you. But. How did you read the contents of the message? It must have been written in code.”

“How many Blood Cult codes do you think I saw in the last war?”

Who would have thought he even knew the Blood Cult’s codes.

“Where did you send it?”

Ha Mu-baek looked at Gwang Hoe-cheon and asked.

He had sent both messenger pigeons and messenger hawks in twelve directions.

Birds that spread out in a circle from Muchang.

What Ha Mu-baek caught must have been from one of those directions.

“Do you think I would tell you that?”

Gwang Hoe-cheon spoke as if it was out of the question.

Nevertheless, Ha Mu-baek’s expression remained unchanged.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I think I know where you sent it.”

Gwang Hoe-cheon observed Ha Mu-baek who spoke like that.

What was important now was not this kind of thing.

It was escaping from this place.

No matter how important the Dan Mok Family Secret Vault was, could it be as important as his own life?

‘I should have been closer.’

He regretted it, but it was too late.

Since Ha Mu-baek was already between him and Yeo Hwa, it was a situation where he couldn’t even take a hostage.

“Sanwol Demon Forest.”

At that moment, Ha Mu-baek’s voice was suddenly heard.

Gwang Hoe-cheon couldn’t help but flinch.

While he was thinking of other schemes, such an accurate location was suddenly mentioned.

“As expected. It was there.”

Ha Mu-baek nodded as if Gwang Hoe-cheon’s reaction had become the answer.

Now it was a situation where denial would be useless.

“How?”

“So it is that place. It seems there was something more underground….”

At Ha Mu-baek’s words, Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes widened.

He had never been to the current Blood Cult’s main branch either. There was no reason to go.

But since he had heard about it, he could understand what Ha Mu-baek was talking about.

It was true that the main branch was deep underground.

“How do you even know that?”

It wasn’t that Gwang Hoe-cheon was caught by a guess.

Ha Mu-baek knew that place accurately.

“Why do you think that place was like that?”

Ha Mu-baek chuckled and asked.

But Gwang Hoe-cheon showed no reaction.

He had no choice.

Gwang Hoe-cheon hadn’t seen that place.

“It seems you haven’t been to that place.”

Ha Mu-baek could easily notice that fact from his reaction.

If he had seen the ruins of that place, he couldn’t have such an expression.

Ha Mu-baek glanced back.

Yeo Hwa, Dan Mok Un-rae’s mother.

And Dan Mok Un-hye, his younger sibling.

A quite brutal scene was about to unfold for the two women to see.

It seemed better to move locations.

“Good. Then shall we have the rest of our conversation separately?”

Step.

Ha Mu-baek took one step toward Gwang Hoe-cheon.

Hesitate.

Gwang Hoe-cheon stepped back one step.

It was the complete opposite situation from a moment ago.

Ha Mu-baek approached another step.

Hesitate, hesitate.

Gwang Hoe-cheon retreated two steps.

How many times had they repeated such a standoff?

Thud.

Gwang Hoe-cheon’s back touched the wall.

There was nowhere left to retreat.

The moment Ha Mu-baek grinned once more and kicked off the ground.

He instantly appeared before Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes.

Thwack.

He struck his jaw directly.

Gwang Hoe-cheon’s body floated up into the air with a whoosh.

Ha Mu-baek grabbed his nape and leaped straight up onto the wall.

“Your resentment must be great. But I’ll handle this one myself.”

Ha Mu-baek left only these words to Yeo Hwa and disappeared.

Yeo Hwa stared blankly at his retreating figure.

“Instructor Ha…”

A small murmur.

“M-Mom. Wahhh!!”

Dan Mok Un-hye in her arms burst into tears.

She had been unable to even cry during the terrifying situation until now.

“It’s okay. Un-hye. It’s all over. It’s okay now.”

Yeo Hwa gently patted Dan Mok Un-hye’s back.

 

“Grgh. Let me go!”

Gwang Hoe-cheon shouted roughly.

“Don’t rush me. I’ll do just that soon enough.”

Ha Mu-baek ran at high speed, leaving Muchang and entering the wild mountain.

At that moment, he threw Gwang Hoe-cheon.

“Urgh.”

Gwang Hoe-cheon, thrown down like that, rolled on the ground then got up from that position and immediately kicked off the ground to run.

He had to escape from that bastard first.

He poured all his remaining internal energy into his lightness skill.

At that sight, Ha Mu-baek made a contemptuous expression.

Who was he trying to run away from right now?

Even Blood Flying Shadow of the Blood Cult’s Ten Elders couldn’t escape from him.

Gwang Hoe-cheon was caught by Ha Mu-baek without getting very far.

“Is this all you’ve got? I heard you were a martial arts genius?”

Ha Mu-baek’s mockery as he blocked Gwang Hoe-cheon’s path.

At those words, Gwang Hoe-cheon gritted his teeth.

“Because I’m a genius, I know. That I’m no match for a monster like you.”

At that answer, Ha Mu-baek showed a disappointed expression.

“You fought so well against Elder Byeokryeokgae.”

Ha Mu-baek had sensed the presence of his battle with Byeokryeokgae through ki sense.

“What do I need to do for you to spare my life?”

Gwang Hoe-cheon asked with a sharp expression. He already had no will to resist.

At that question, Ha Mu-baek’s eyes widened.

“Spare your life? Do you think that’s possible? With what you’ve done in Muchang? Should I say your dreams are ambitious?”

At Ha Mu-baek’s series of questions, Gwang Hoe-cheon’s face contorted.

He couldn’t be defeated so futilely like this.

“Damn bastard.”

Finally, Gwang Hoe-cheon charged toward Ha Mu-baek.

He knew he was no match, but he couldn’t die so futilely like this.

A fist wrapped in red gang qi flew toward Ha Mu-baek’s face.

Thwack.

Ha Mu-baek’s fist flew straight toward Gwang Hoe-cheon’s fist.

While containing pure white gang qi.

And that was the sound that rang out.

“Urgh.”

Gwang Hoe-cheon let out a groan.

His right fist was completely shattered.

Ha Mu-baek’s face was full of disappointment.

“The man who destroyed the Dan Mok Family Estate was only this much?”

“Shut up!”

He swung his left hand.

This time too, Ha Mu-baek clashed fist against fist.

Gwang Hoe-cheon turned his body in alarm and dodged Ha Mu-baek’s fist.

If he hadn’t, his left fist would have been smashed too.

Ha Mu-baek’s fist moved again.

Thud.

“Kugh.”

It drove into Gwang Hoe-cheon’s solar plexus.

“Cough, cough.”

From the heavy impact, Gwang Hoe-cheon couldn’t even breathe properly.

Ha Mu-baek looked at such a Gwang Hoe-cheon with cold eyes.

Since he was using the Infinite Bright Wheel Eye, he could see all of Gwang Hoe-cheon’s internal energy state.

This bastard’s current state was his best.

The battle with Byeokryeokgae in Wolryong Manor’s hall.

That was the highest skill this bastard could display.

He was someone who had lived with his internal energy restricted for several years.

He had just released the restriction on his internal energy.

He didn’t know what method was used, but there had been a temporary surge in internal energy.

However, all of that had been consumed in the battle with Byeokryeokgae.

Moreover, he seemed unable to adapt to his currently changed physical state.

It was ridiculous.

He didn’t know how it would have been if he had released the restriction earlier, adapted to this physical state, and properly built up his body.

But right now, he was just pathetic.

Had Gwang Hoe-cheon sensed Ha Mu-baek’s attitude?

Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes blazed with fire.

However, all his attacks were nothing but futile struggles.

“How boring.”

It was far too boring.

He had hurriedly dealt with those ten bastards who were about to scatter Jamhon Poison and moved.

Those bastards didn’t know much either.

He had intended to properly crush them thoroughly, but sensing this bastard heading toward Dan Mok Un-rae’s house, he moved urgently.

Were those ten bastards meeting King Yama by now?

“What should I do with you?”

A bored light appeared in Ha Mu-baek’s eyes.

And anger was added to it.

He was annoyed that he had caused such a commotion for several days because of such a pathetic bastard.

He was angry at the fact that most of Muchang’s residents were in a state of Jamhon Poison intoxication.

Though no one had manifested symptoms yet, he didn’t know what would happen.

Part of the poison those bastards had scattered had also spread widely.

Ha Mu-baek took a large step forward and appeared right in front of Gwang Hoe-cheon.

Thud. Thud thud.

The sound of beating up Gwang Hoe-cheon.

“Urgh. Uuurgh.”

Groaning sounds flowed from Gwang Hoe-cheon’s mouth.

“You, you, damn bastard….”

Just as curses were flowing from Gwang Hoe-cheon’s mouth.

He firmly grabbed Ha Mu-baek’s arm.

He gripped tightly with his still intact left hand, concentrating his internal energy fully into it.

Ha Mu-baek tried to shake him off lightly, but Gwang Hoe-cheon clung like a leech.

“Die!”

He glared at Ha Mu-baek and shouted.

Then his clothes swelled up and tore apart.

A pouch that had been somewhere inside his clothes burst, scattering powder everywhere.

The Soul Sleeping Poison he had been carrying just in case.

The pouch, designed to burst only when internal energy was injected, had exploded.

Gwang Hoe-cheon was already holding his breath.

In the sudden situation, Ha Mu-baek inhaled one breath of the poison.

Gwang Hoe-cheon immediately separated from Ha Mu-baek and backed away.

“Kekeke. Do you think you’ll be fine this time? With the food you ate at Wolryong Inn too. This time you’ll definitely become Sik Gang-si!”

This was Gwang Hoe-cheon’s calculated move.

He had just let himself get beaten for this purpose.

To spray the Soul Sleeping Poison on Ha Mu-baek’s face.

However.

Ha Mu-baek showed no change whatsoever.

He was just looking at Gwang Hoe-cheon with annoyed eyes.

“Keke. You’ll be fine for now. For those with internal energy, there’s an incubation period so the poison manifests slowly. But that’s a different story when the amount of poison increases. The more poison there is, the faster the manifestation speed. Soon now….”

Just as Gwang Hoe-cheon was about to say something.

Thud.

Something was shoved into his mouth.

Something like powder, torn by his teeth, went down his throat.

At that taste.

Gwang Hoe-cheon’s eyes bulged as if they would tear apart.

“That Soul Sleeping Poison thing. I happen to have some too, you see.”

Including what Ha Mu-baek had recovered from what was scattered in midair using his Dual Energy Sword and internal energy, there were ten poison pouches total that he had taken from the ten men.

One of them was now shoved into Gwang Hoe-cheon’s mouth.

An amount that could turn fifty people into Sik Gang-si – quite a lot if you think about it.

“You said if there’s a lot of poison, it manifests quickly even with internal energy, right? How about you?”

Ha Mu-baek glared at Gwang Hoe-cheon with cold eyes.

“Ptui!”

He spat out the poison pouch from his mouth.

But he had already inhaled about a quarter of it.

It was an enormous amount for one person to inhale.

“Uh, uuh, uuuh.”

Gwang Hoe-cheon, who knew better than anyone in All Under Heaven what the Soul Sleeping Poison was like.

He trembled all over.

Not knowing what to do.

Ha Mu-baek observed such Gwang Hoe-cheon carefully.

Expanding his Infinite Bright Wheel Eye to the maximum.

‘He’s the one who made the poison. If there’s an antidote method, he would know it.’

This was the reason for carefully observing Gwang Hoe-cheon’s reaction after inhaling the Soul Sleeping Poison.

No, this was the purpose for dragging this guy all the way here in the first place.

Though he hadn’t expected there would be more hidden poison.

The Soul Sleeping Poison that entered Ha Mu-baek’s body tried to manifest frantically, but he had already experienced it once.

The first time is difficult, but the second time is easy.

He had already firmly suppressed the poison’s energy with the internal energy of the Mugeuk Yeoui Heart Method.

Gwang Hoe-cheon trembled all over, then hastily sat down in a cross-legged position.

It was to somehow suppress the Soul Sleeping Poison’s energy before the poison could manifest.
