Chapter 429

Episode 429

“Poisonous hawk!”

“Blood Flower Sword (血華劍)!”

The eyes of the masked people became sharper.

It wasn’t that difficult to find out the identity of the intruder.

Because they were faces that I had familiarized myself with in advance.

“Change the target! Instead of the fake disguised as Seonhye’s seal, aim for the poisonous bee!”

At the shout of the man who was presumed to be the leader, the masked people all took out white beads.

Tang Seo-yeon’s eyes narrowed.

Push!

The beads thrown to the floor broke and thick smoke rose in a thick cloud.

Yeo So-ok and So-young covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

Sigh!

The sharp dagger dug into the chest of the masked man who had just hit the ground.

The sound of a crack ringing in succession.

Even though it was a smoke screen that made it difficult to see even an inch ahead, the attack never missed.

Ku-kwa-kwa-kwaang!

The swordsman that came out one after another swallowed up the masked people on the other side.

The wall shattered with a loud noise, and fragments flew everywhere.

Smoke escaped through the gaping hole, revealing a chaotic space.

“Please eat.”

Dang Seo-yeon took out two pills from her bosom and handed them to Yeo So-ok and So-young.

Yeo So-ok, who shoved Danhwan into her mouth without asking why, asked while shaking off the dust on her clothes.

“You don’t have to eat?”

“it’s okay. “This kind of crude poison won’t work on me.”

“but. There is no way a poisonous person could be poisoned. “I was worried for no reason.”

Soyoung, who swallowed Danhwan, rushed straight towards the masked man, who was presumed to be the captain.

Whoops!

The sword clashed with the sword, creating a heavy ripple effect.

The masked man, who took a step back, gritted his teeth and raised his sword diagonally to cut.

‘If I get pushed out here, there is no answer.’

Although this side had the advantage in numbers, the enemy’s individual skills were superior.

If he, who was supposed to play the role of the central axis, fell before completing the joint formation, the annihilation of our troops would be a foregone conclusion.

The woman in front of her knew this, so she would have targeted her first.

“No way!”

An explosive force poured out from the masked man’s body.

High-density demonic energy encroached on the surroundings.

Soyoung frowned and stepped back, raising her internal energy to protect her body.

“I’m not the type to be bullied by mere women... Ugh!”

The masked man, who was bending his knees as if he was going to rush at any moment, suddenly shed blood and collapsed in place.

Blood staining the floor red.

He looked at his body with a puzzled expression and opened his eyes wide.

The tendons bulging over the exposed skin seemed to be the early symptoms of fire-entry poison.

‘Nonsense!’

There was disbelief on the man’s face.

It’s true that I pushed up my energy excessively, but it would never have been to the point where my energy flowed backwards.

‘Holy shit.’

His eyes turned to Dang Seo-yeon, who was emptying out her small pocket.

It didn’t take that long to understand the situation.

A little while ago, when the room was filled with white smoke, it seemed that the poison bong had also released poison into the surrounding area.

‘It’s truly ghost-like skill.’

He was a blood relative of the Tang family who was skilled in the art of poisoning.

I was able to realize it only after it happened.

That the tactic was wrong in the first place.

Instead of forming a successful team and putting pressure on them, they should have driven it into a short-term decisive battle, whether it was life or death.

‘If I had done that, I would have had at least some chance of winning.’

Regrets are always too late.

The masked people, who were confused and unable to understand the situation, were poisoned one after another and collapsed.

Yeo So-ok and So-young, who had previously taken anti-inflammatory drugs, walked around the room and took their breath away.

The masked man, who was presumed to be the leader, resisted until the end, but the combined efforts of the masters who reached the peak were not easy enough for an addicted body to endure.

It didn’t take long for the fight to end.

‘It ended on a bland note.’

The man who fell to the ground twitched and then fell limp.

After a while, something surprising happened.

Crump! fillet!

Isn’t it true that the skeleton, which had shrunk due to the axial bone drill, returns to its original size and the man’s body size increases significantly?

Namgung-geum, who was quietly watching the scene, turned the body over and placed his hand on its face.

Sigh!

The skin was torn off and a face with a plain expression was revealed.

Namgunggeum, who was silently staring at the shell in his hand, let out a long sigh.

He then threw away his sword and stood in front of Wu Jiajin, holding out both hands.

“What does it mean?”

“Take it. “Shouldn’t we be interrogated?”

“I know you are not Ganja.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

“Because I did my research.”

It was an insincere answer, but it also contained a lot of meaning.

Namgunggeum nodded, a faint smile forming on her lips.

“It puts my mind at ease when you say that.”

“I’m asking because I’ve been asked, but how did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“That Nangong Choun is a fake.”

“It was not only the Cheonan Inspector who was wary that the Baek-faced Reaper’s disciple might disguise himself as someone around him and hide.”

“I understand. Put your hands down first. “Like I said, I didn’t come to catch you.”

“Even so, a formal investigation will have to be conducted. “Isn’t that right?”

“......”

Wu Ji-jin’s eyes narrowed.

Did you say Namgung Geum?

This guy was more than he seemed.

Even without any hint, he was able to deduce Namgung Choun’s identity, and his judgment was not impaired even in a confusing situation.

‘There.’

I knew exactly what action I should take in the current situation.

Indeed, he was a man who was the head of a military unit representing the Namgung family.

“If that is what you mean.”

Wu Ga-jin moved his hand like lightning and pointed out Nam Gung-geum’s acupuncture point.

Namgunggeum’s new form, which had been suppressed by the demonic blood, became stiff.

“I’ll go first.”

Woo Ga-jin, who picked up Namgunggeum with a clumsy hand and placed it on his shoulder, turned around and walked away.

Bangcheoksam, who was cleaning up after himself, looked at the back with a strange expression.

* * *

“......her.”

The masked man, who was looking around with a blank face, let out a laugh.

Apparently, just a moment ago, he was running toward his target through the pitch-black darkness.

When I came to my senses, I found myself trapped in a maze completely filled with white.

‘This is Jin I’ve never seen before.’

The subordinates who were moving together were also scattered.

It was a perfect environment for each individual to be defeated.

‘Let’s stay calm. No matter what the law, there is a law of destruction. It doesn’t look like it has a high lethality, so if you stay calm and find your way, you will be able to escape.’

That was when the man cautiously took a step forward.

The empty space on the left seemed to be shaking, and suddenly an iron gun popped out.

thud!

The masked person barely managed to avoid it by tilting his head and swallowed the wind in vain.

The wall on the opposite side of the wall that had been struck by the iron bar was shattered.

If he had been hit directly, his head would have exploded and he would have died instantly.

‘Is it a tracheal device? No, the internal force was loaded on the iron gun. It means there is someone nearby.’

The tension sent a chill down my back.

Seeing that it was aimed precisely at the head, it seemed that the opponent was able to figure out its location.

It could not have been a truly unreasonable condition.

This side can’t even sense the other person’s presence.

If we fought in this environment, we would inevitably lose.

‘I’m going crazy.’

I thought it was a trivial strategy, but it turns out that wasn’t the case.

The true value of this method lies in the fact that it ‘selectively’ blocks the target’s senses.

‘Who on earth came up with this ridiculous lineup?’
