Chapter 82

##82fury. You can close your eyes

‘poison!’

Heukyeong stopped breathing the moment he noticed the poison spreading in the room..

However, a small amount of poison had already penetrated into the body..

Cold sweat had already begun to flow from her forehead, which was resistant to most poisons. My fingertips were shaking.

Muyoung was smiling and looking at her..

“It's a pretty nasty poison. Even you won't be able to last long without canceling the contract..”

“Why on earth…….”

Muyoung’s smile became even deeper..

“As expected, it has become dull. If it were you before, you would have dealt with the poison before it spread. Was I that happy??”

“…….”

Heukyoung quietly glared at Muyoung. The expression disappeared from her face in an instant..

Salsu must not be shaken at any moment..

It was the first lesson the man in front of her gave her..

“Treason… … Is it?”

Instead of killing him right away, he poisoned him and subdued him..

It meant that there was a willingness to talk.

Black Young also needed time to understand the situation better and drive out the poison..

Of course, Mu-yeong was not unaware of Heuk-yeong’s thoughts..

“What a betrayal. How can you say such blasphemous things? Why is killing a monk considered treason??”

“You are the teacher of His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty said that he was like your father.…….”

“That's the problem.”

Muyoung leisurely drank the tea on the table..

The movement seemed full of loopholes at first glance, but Heukyeong did not take a hasty gamble..

“The minister has been by His Majesty's side since he was young, acting as his eyes and ears. With His Majesty at his back, he enjoyed power over all people. He killed numerous loyalists for his power..”

“……Why are you saying such nonsense?.”

Heuk-yeong declared that Mu-yeong’s words were nonsense..

Gongsun Su was a loyal subject who worked for the country and the emperor his entire life..

If he had truly been a man who only cared about his own power, he would not have come to his hometown for treatment after becoming mentally and physically ill due to his long stay in the imperial palace..

“It's nonsense?”

“I never thought you, not anyone else, would say something like that. Was there even a single loyalist among the dead??”

Cheonyoung, the intelligence group of the Jinuiwi, ​​knew about all kinds of dirty things happening in the imperial palace..

The true nature of those in power, the strife between them, and messy incidents that cannot be revealed to the world..

What Heuk-yeong knows is enough to make you sick, but Moo-yeong, the head of the organization, knows much more information..

-The minister is a powerful man with great power. But he is also a rare, respectable person in power..

Muyoung, who had said that in the past, was now saying that the minister was a traitor..

Heukyeong still couldn't understand this situation..

“If I had just spent my last years in peace and died peacefully, this wouldn't have happened..”

“what to say…….”

Muyoung laughed. It was a real laugh this time.

A laugh that's even more creepy because it's real.

He put down the teacup on the table and said as if he was affirming..

“After the monk's illness worsened and he withdrew from the front line, His Majesty took back his firearm, but when news came that the monk's health had recovered, His Majesty tried to call him back. As a result, many loyalists were worried about the monk's return..”

“no way…….”

Heukyeong’s eyes shook as he looked at Muyeong..

I felt a strong desire in Muyoung’s eyes that were looking at me..

It was a desire for power that I saw countless times while operating in the shadow of the imperial palace..

Muyoung's eyes narrowed and an evil smile appeared on his lips..

“The loyal subjects asked me, saying that they were worried that His Majesty the Emperor would once again be reduced to a puppet of the Emperor..”

“……Has His Majesty's shadow colluded with treacherous officials to seek power? If that's not treason, what is??”

The dark spirit asked a question and gathered all the poison in its body into one place..

It was a temporary solution, but it made it easier to move my body. But on the outside, she was still sweating and her fingers were shaking..

Muyoung said with a wry smile..

“I have lived my entire life as a puppet of power. Why are you saying I shouldn’t enjoy power?.”

Heukyeong was shocked by the madness in those words..

Until now, she had thought that Mu-young was a man who had no feelings and was the best fit for Sal-su..

Now I realize how big of a mistake that was..

‘If the entire Geumui Commission is involved in this matter,…….’

Heukyeong looked at Muyeong with a creepy thought..

She asked questions, choosing her words carefully, about how she could get the information she wanted from the other person..

“Did Heavenly Killer also allow this??”

At those words, Muyong’s expression hardened somewhat..

“……Permission? Do you also think that a thousand years are above me??”

A sharp ray of death grazed the back of his neck, but the black spirit felt relieved..

‘A thousand years old does not know this. In other words, the Gold Commission did not fall to them..’

Cheonsal was the head and supreme leader of the Geumuiwiwi..

10Years ago, there were two villains, the Phantom Demon and the Poisonous Demon. The two, as sworn brothers, repeatedly attacked government offices, stole property, and left messages insulting the emperor..

The martial arts leaders who received the request from the official tried to kill the two villains, but the martial arts skills of the two villains were so strong that the political faction leaders sent to the slaughter were killed..

At that time, what appeared in front of the two villains was a man dressed in official uniform..

-This is Hwang Myeong. I will kill you right here and there..

The man in official uniform killed the Phantom Demon and the Poisonous Demon that were laughing at him in ten seconds, cut off their heads, and kept them alive for a month..

From then on, the man came to be called Cheonsal and became one of the Ten Lords, considered the strongest in the current martial arts world..

‘I must tell this to the thousand years old. Then we can turn the situation around.’

Heukyeong made a decision in his mind and secretly increased his strength..

I was prepared to leave at least two arms here..

Because you won't be able to get out of here without at least that level of determination..

At that time, Muyoung took something out of her arms and held it out..

“Black spirit. I'll give you a chance to live too.”

It was a small wooden box. When I opened the lid, there was medicinal material with a faint scent..

“I heard that you personally brew the monk’s herbal medicine every day. Boil this and feed it to the monk..”

Even a fool could tell that this herb was not a tonic..

Heukyeong spoke in a voice as cold as ice..

“Are you telling me to poison you now? Kill him with my own hands?”

“This is the cleanest way. He is an old man who was told not long ago that he would not live for another few years anyway. It wouldn't be strange if my heart stopped tomorrow morning.”

“…….”

Heukyeong lowered his head and looked at Moham in silence..

Perhaps because he thought she was worried, Muyoung spoke in a much more friendly voice..

“Your Majesty knows that the Minister cherishes you. So you will be released safely..”

“…….”

“Once this is over, I promise you complete freedom. The monk must have promised you wealth and fame. But it is not only the Prime Minister who can promise that..”

Muyoung took out another wooden box and held it out in front of him. Inside was a black dogma..

“Swallow. Then go back and boil the decoction and feed it to the monk tonight. Once the body is identified, the contract will be released immediately..”

“…….”

Heukyeong knew that Muyeong would not keep his promise..

The moment she swallows this dogma, she will again become a dog with a leash called Cheonyoung..

“Or will you choose to die here and now??”

Since there was no other way for Heukyoung anyway, Muyoung’s expression was relaxed..

Not only was Heukyoung now addicted, but he was no longer the ruthless killer he used to be..

‘Salsu, who feels emotions, begins to regret his own life. Black spirit. you won't be able to refuse my offer.’

But Muyoung was wrong..

I thought that the reason Heukyeong felt emotions and the reason he became dull as a assassin was because he became lazy after becoming Gongsunsu's personal escort..

“I am…….”

But Heukyeong was not interested in wealth and movies..

Over the years, she has not neglected her training even for a single day, and has performed her duties to the best of her ability at every moment..

And during that time, I developed a deep affection for the old man named Gongsunsu..

“I would rather die than betray my elders..”

Now Gongsunsu was not just a minister to be worshiped, but her only family..

A family worth risking your life to protect..

“Are you confident you won’t regret it??”

“Of course.”

At the same time, Black Spirit got up from his seat. A secret came out of her sleeve.

Pabababak!

The memory was placed on the table between the two. Muyoung set up a table to block memorization and at the same time took a step back..

Knowing that the surprise attack wouldn't work anyway, Heukyeong didn't panic and continued with his next attack..

Muyoung clicked her tongue when she saw Heukyeong’s fierce appearance..

“This is your answer. What a disappointment..”

At that moment, four arrows fell from the ceiling on Black Spirit, and two shot up from the floor..

In an instant, Heukyoung, who was surrounded by six assassins, took out a dagger in both hands and held it, and raised Amyoungryu, Cheonyoung's German martial arts skill..

Sssssssut…….

Her body became shrouded in fog and seemed to disappear..

But it was the same for other shooters as well..

They all learned the same martial arts and knew each other..

‘You've brought all of Heaven's elite..’

There was no time to be surprised. Heukyeong was busy dodging and slashing away at the blades coming from all directions..

Kaagaga River!

Even before becoming Gongsunsu's personal escort, she was the highest guard in Cheonyeong except for Muyeong. Before receiving the name Heukyeong, he was called ‘Ilyeong (一影)’..

Although she had overwhelming skills, the assassins who surrounded her were all also skilled..

Moreover, there are traps prepared with poison..

Heukyeong became covered in wounds in an instant..

Muyoung, who was watching from afar, said.

“don't kill I will try to persuade you one more time slowly..”

Of course, torture and weak drugs will be used in the second persuasion..

“Cough…….”

The black spirit fought fiercely. I felt dizzy from the ever-increasing blood loss. The skin turned black from the poison..

Still, I gritted my teeth. I widened my eyes and watched the battlefield to find a way out..

‘Not yet.’

Cheonyoung’s assassins were terrible. He killed three of the six assassins, but none of them even screamed as they died..

But when it came to poisoning, Heukyeong was one step ahead..

“……terrible thing.”

Mu-yeong looked tired of seeing Heuk-yeong fighting like a demon..

I thought I neglected my martial arts training after becoming the vizier's personal guard, but I actually became stronger than I was 5 years ago..

If she hadn't let down her guard... … . Muyoung hung himself with a scary thought..

“But that's it for now.”

dump.

In the end, Heukyeong’s knees buckled. Another assassin took the place of the dead assassin, and the body could no longer endure the accumulating wounds..

But the spirit of the dark spirit was still clear..

‘I can't use my right arm anymore. Then it would be better…….’

Heukyeong relaxed his body..

Muyoung was walking this way..

The moment I got within range, I used my right arm as bait and prepared to strike the final blow to his neck..

‘I don't know if it will work or not…….’

No, it has to go through..

At the very least, if they kill Mu-young, their plan will be ruined, and the chances of the old man surviving will increase..

“……You haven't given up yet.”

However, Muyoung stopped outside the firing line set by Heukyeong. The keen sense of spray has been activated..

Muyoung said, breaking into a cold sweat..

“Check the blood flow chart.”

The wind blowing in from all directions hit her demonic blood and prevented her from moving. Then one of the assassins came over and subdued her from behind..

Unable to open her mouth, she gritted her teeth as she glared at Muyoung..

‘Elderly…….’

I wasn't afraid of death.

However, I was upset that I could no longer protect the elderly person who had finally found happiness in life..

……I finally realized that it was an emotion, but I was also upset that I could no longer understand it..

-Heh heh. I will be really sad if you get married..

I thought maybe that day might really come..

When that day comes, I was planning on begging him to be my father..

“……Are you crying? Heukyoung Nega?”

Muyoung muttered in an embarrassed voice..

Because the tears that flowed out of anger obscured his vision, Heukyeong could not see his face clearly..

So, at first I didn't recognize the owner of the voice I heard next..

“It's a good thing you followed along.”

“!!”

The moment an unfamiliar voice was heard, the heads of the assassins turned at the same time..

But the sword came one step before that..

Sighaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Salsu's body, which was suppressing Heukyeong from behind, was split in half..

The sudden attack caused the sprayers to scatter in all directions, and taking advantage of the gap, a gust of wind blew towards the black spirit..

“are you okay?”

Heukyeong looked up blankly at the back of the man blocking his path..

“Who are you?!”

Muyoung shouted at the man she saw for the first time..

He was a handsome man with a pale face who looked very good in blue long sleeves..

The red blood dripping from his sword contrasted strongly with his blue long gun..

The man smiled crookedly and said.

“If I tell you who I am, you will know?”

“……There must have been guards outside on guard. How did you get in here??”

As if asking something like that, Baek Soo-ryong raised his sword and aimed it at Mu-yeong..

“Of course I came in after killing them all..”

The scattered assassins surrounded him and narrowed the distance, but Baek Soo-ryong's expression remained calm..

He turned his head slightly and spoke to the black spirit behind him..

“From now on, pretend you didn’t see anything. You can just close your eyes.”

“…….”

Heukyeong did as Baeksuryong told him to do and closed his eyes tightly. Somehow I felt like it had to be that way..

At that moment, blood-red sword energy swirled around the white water dragon's sword..
