Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 206. An ancestor's whip hurts a little (1)

Tang Hak filled with anger to the top of his head.

'Are you making fun of me?'

What was more upsetting was the fact that he couldn't properly refute that statement.

Rumor has it that he defeated Mu Jin of the Wudang Sect on the subject of talent. No matter how shameless Tang Hak is, it is embarrassing to put his name before his name.

But then you stab that part in the face openly.

‘Don't you know honor?'

It is not for the man of virtue to openly discuss and laugh at the opponent's weaknesses. How can a person with such a high profile act like a gangster?

And you're still a Taoist?

Besides...

‘How dare you send a woman out against me?'

And what?

If she loses, he will admit defeat?

Clench.

Tang Hak clenched his fist to the point that his nails dug into his palm.

Never once did he think a woman would be his opponent. This is a natural idea for those who have lived in Tang Family. Women are only half-baked people who can't learn family’s secret art.

But now there's a female swordsman in front of him pointing a sword.

"……Gaju-nim!"

Cried Tang Hak.

"Are you acknowledging this?"

Instead of answering, Tang Gun-ak looked at Tang Hak, Yoo Iseol, and Chung Myung in turn.

Confirming Chung Myung's face, he faced Tang Hak again with an expressionless face.

'I'm sure you have an idea.'

It's true that he's so shameless, rude, inconsiderate, and dirty that he can scratch people's hearts, and pull out the roots of someone else’s temper!

'But he's not the one fighting the losing battle.'

"It doesn't matter."

"If she loses, you're going to give me the position of Sogaju?"

"……Do you mean I'm going back on my word?"

Tang Hak flinched when he saw the cold eyes of Tang Gun-ak.

Puzzled and confused, he turns his head and looks at Tang Wei.

'That idiot.'

Tang Wei grind his teeth.

If he looks at him in front of so many people, doesn't everyone know that Tang Wei is behind Tang Hak?

Of course, there's a big difference between guessing and being sure, as there are a lot of stupid people who don't know that.

‘What the hell are you thinking, Mount Hua Divine Dragon?’

Tang Wei squeezed his lips as he looked at Chung Myung.

‘There's no way you're gonna get indigestion.'

It doesn't make sense for a man like Mount Hua Divine Dragon to get a stomachache from overeating. Is an expert for a reason?

'Then, did you notice the existence of Cheonilchwi?'

It shouldn’t be.

'No, I don't know about the poisoning. But he may have noticed instinctively that there is something strange with his body. So it would be right to send that girl out.'

If he can't win anyway, he has to choose the most justifiable defeat.

If a girl comes out and loses, then Mount Hua can save face.

'I failed to kill Mount Hua Divine Dragon here, but...… it's not like there's no way. For now, it's a question of how to gloss over the existence of Cheonilchwi.'

Of course, Gaju will be furious, but he won't go back on what he said. Then, he just has to bend down moderately and take advantage of the benefits.

‘Go ahead.’

Tang Wei nodded his head.

Tang Hak, who asked for his grandfather's permission, glares fiercely at Yoo Iseol.

"I'll make you pay the price for your arrogance."

Yoo Iseol stretched out his index finger and put it to her mouth.

"Mount Hua doesn't fight with their mouth."

"...till the end."

Tang Hak clenched his teeth and pushed his hand into the sleeve.

"Be careful."

Tang Hak's eyes are tinged with life.

"I will use poison for this duel."

He gives a warning not because he is kind.

Tang Family must warn the opponent when using poison in the presence. That was the law set by Tang Family to remain as Righteous Sect.

"Sure."

However, Yoo Iseol calmly accepted Tang Hak’s word.

Their eyes met coldly in the air.

"……."

Tang So-so looked at the duel stage with a trembling face.

‘What the hell are you gonna do?’

She couldn't understand Yoo Iseol.

Who is Tang Hak?

Among those who are called descendants of the Tang family, the one who is said to be the best is Tang Hak. He did not obtain the position of Sogaju because he is not a child of Gaju but Tang Pae, who was the Sogaju, fell short of Tang Hak without force.

Yoo Iseol said he would deal with such a person.

"Hey, we gotta stop her!"

"Sister!"

Tang Zhan dragged Tang So-so by the hem.

"Calm down. If you step up now, you'll look ridiculous."

"Can he deal with Tang Hak? If she does something wrong, she'll lose her life!"

Tang So-so's face was desperate.

Yoo Iseol is the only one who understands and tries to help her. She doesn't want to see such a person fall horribly by poisoning.

"Would she have gone up without knowing?"

"……What?"

"Of course, she went up even knowing it. She is a martial artist!"

"……."

"Don't insult her. From the moment she gets up there, there's no male or female swordsman. It's just a fight between martial artists. Don't get in the way!"

Tang So-so's eyes trembled.

'Then...'

Is she paving the way?

Tang So-so's eyes were fixed on Yoo Iseol.

The expressionless face stuck firmly in her mind.

Tang Hak grinned as he watched Yoo Iseol take a deep breath, aiming at himself seriously.

"If you had known who I was, would you have dared to fight me...…."

"You talk a lot."

Yoo Iseol narrowed her brow.

It's not that she doesn't like talking too much. Because there's a nasty talker who doesn't exist anywhere else in the world next to her. (I wonder who, huh?)

But every word he says is offensive.

"……If you want to die like that, do as you wish."

Tang Hak's hand dug into his sleeve. The slightly cut sleeves flutter.

"Be prepared!"

Tang Hak's hands are pulled out of the sleeves like a ray of light.

At the same time, dozens of strong needles flew toward Yoo Iseol. Judging by the slightly black color, it was clear that extreme poison had been applied.

Yoo Iseol's sword moves slowly.

Slowly.

Soft and graceful.

It was more like a dance than swordplay.

Kakakwang!

Yoo Iseol's sword sweeps away the flying strong needle.

It was more appropriate to express it as sweeping rather than cutting it off. The strong needles, which were flying in with sharp momentum, lost their momentum and fell on the duel floor like leaves caught in a rapid current.

"Hmm! So you had a way!"

Tang Hak releases the second move without delay.

Swaek!

The dark dagger from his sleeve flew into Yoo Iseol with strong energy.

The tip of Yoo Iseol's sword was aimed precisely at the flying dagger.

Her sword twisted slightly just before the dagger came into contact. And it sticks to the side of the dagger.

Spinning.

When she turned his body around without killing dagger's momentum, The dagger began to fly back to Tang Hak.

"Huh?"

Even Tang Hak could not hide his bewilderment at the unexpected attack.

"How dare you!"

Tang Hak's face flushed with shame at the return of his dagger art.

He embraces the power of the Gwidokjo (鬼毒爪/Demon Poison Claw) to the fullest and grabs the flying dagger with his black-colored hand.

Clang, clang!

With the sound of metal and metal being scraped, the dagger lost its momentum. Tang Hak, who recovered the dagger, grinds his teeth.

However, he did not move as hastily as he did a while ago.

'She is capable.'

He hate to admit it, but that Yoo Iseol woman is stronger than he thought.

When it was said that Tang Zhan was humiliated by Jo-Gol. All of Mount Hua's disciples seemed to be of high quality.

But.

"If you weren't a woman, you could have beaten me."

"……."

"Blame yourself for not being born a man."

Yoo Iseol smirks.

"……what's funny?"

"I have some thought."

"What?"

"Why are you so weak? You’re a man."

"This...!"

"It's not important, anything like that. The thing is."

Yoo Iseol's sword points at Tang Hak's neck.

"You're weak."

Tang Hak was no longer angry. He just stared at Yoo Iseol with terrifying eyes.

"You must want to die."

"Think whatever you want."

"I'll do as you wish."

Tang Hak's hand goes into the sleeve.

The difference is that it has gone deeper than before.

Tang Gun-ak's forehead narrowed when he saw it.

Tang Family's fighters habitually store more confident, familiar dagger deep in their sleeves. But in the case of Tang Hak, it's a little different.

‘Should I stop him?'

Tang Hak likes to use daggers with high lethality. At the same time, Yoo Iseol could be in big trouble regardless of the outcome of the match.

However, before he had time to step up, Tang Hak's hand pulled out of his sleeve.

Chwaaaaak!

It's a different sound than before.

Obviously, there was nothing visible even though a sharp noise came out.

But Yoo Iseol swung her sword at the air succession as if she could see something. The remains of the sword energy completely covered her.

Kakakakan!

A series of small sparks sprang from her sword.

"That is?"

At that moment, the head of the Tang Family, who was stuck in the spectator seat, suddenly rushed forward. He then spread his sleeves left and right to strike something flying into the spectator seat.

"T- This?"

It was not until the flying thing fell to the floor that it could be identified.

"Is it Umochim (牛毛針/우모침/Cow Wool Needle)?"

It is called Umochim because it is as thin as cow hair. If it flies at a high speed, it is difficult to follow the traces with one eye.

Yoo Iseol also judged that it would be impossible to take them one by one and covered the front with a sword.

But she couldn't do it perfectly.

Yoo Iseol lowered the sword and bit her lips slightly.

Her eyes turned to the left shoulder.

A fine needle that is too thin to be seen by her eyes is lodged in her shoulder.

Only one.

What's wrong with being stabbed with one thin needle….?

Yoo Iseol pulls out the Umochim. Seeing that the tip of the thin fine needle was stained black, she threw it to the floor.

‘Poison.’

Her shoulders throb.

The problem was that the pain gradually worsened and the range of pain felt increased. At this rate, her left arm will soon become unusable.

"You should have know why Tang Family is feared."

Tang Hak is grinning.

"If you miss even one of the countless daggers, it's over. The true power of the Tang family comes from the combination of poison and dagger art. If you ask for forgiveness even now, I will spare your life."

"……poisoning?"

"Well, you're not stupid enough to not know your physical condition, are you?"

Yoo Iseol muttered with an expressionless face.

"The stupid one is you."

"What?"

"Do you think you can still stand there until the poison spreads? You?"

As soon as the words ended, Yoo Iseol rushed toward Tang Hak!

"Did you think I wouldn't even think about it?"

Tang Hak swings his both arms wide.

A cloud of dust gushed out of his sleeve and covered the front of Tang Hak.

"It's Danhonsa (斷魂沙/Broken Soul Sand/단혼사)!

Poisoned sand blocks Yoo Iseol's attack route.

If it drag on, the poisoning will get worse, so he going to step down for now!

But Tang Hak was greatly mistaken at this moment.

Mount Hua’s disciples, at least the disciples who trained with Chung Myung, do not know how to retreat.

The edge of Yoo Iseol’s sword begins to tremble gently.

And it blooms.

A plum blossomed.

Dozens of plum blossoms quietly bloomed and swept away the dust clouds created by the Danhonsa with a gust of wind.

"What!"

On the contrary, Tang Hak was a bit bewildered when he saw the dust cloud approaching him in reverse.

He won't get poisoning to Danhonsa, but the problem is that his vision is obscured. Unable to find a way to escape, he kicked the floor and floated up to the air.

However, at that moment.

Tang Hak saw it.

The plum sword that suddenly rose in the middle of the clouds of dust!

His eyes widen as if they are about to tore open.

'Why over there?'

In the middle of Danhonsa?

But he didn't even have time to think.

Paekk! (Since I didn’t know much about onomatopoeia, I will use the raw for some sfx.)

The rising sword hits Tang Hak in the face, which was unprotected.

"Keuuakk!"

Soon after, Tang Hak fell o the floor in the shape of a frog that had been kicked.

"Keu...……Keukk."

Tang Hak trembles and raises his head.

Yoo Iseol stands where the dust clouds have cleared up. There's a clear blackness on her face.

"Cra ..Crazy...…."

She didn’t sweep Danhosa to avoid it.

She hid in Danhosa and avoided the gaze of Tang Hak. All while experiencing poisoning.

"You are out of your mind……."

"I told you."

Yoo Iseol chimed in coldly.

"You're weak."

"……."

"It's not about being strong and not having fought before."

No matter how strong it is, it is a flower in a greenhouse anyway.

He was not Yoo Iseol's opponent.

"H- Hiikk! No!"

Pook!

Tang Hak, who was about to get up, was hit in the head by Yoo Iseol's sword and fell again.

She began banging Tang Hak's head with her sword one after another. (Still in scabbard, must be.)

Baek Chun muttered unconsciously at the sight.

"Head.... Head. Head. Head...."

Yoon Jong trembles as if it were terrible just looking at it.

"No. Why would you do that even if you learned it….?"

Their grief watching the scene was great, but how can they compare it to Tang Hak's suffering?

Flop.

Tang Hak, whose head doubled and swelled, eventually fell to the floor. Watching his convulsive legs twitch, even strangers are in tears.

"You... ..."

It was that moment.

"Come here, Sago."

Chung Myung, who climbed onto the stage, grabs Yoo Iseol's arm and pulls her.

"……."

"The sooner the poisoning is treated, the better."

Yoo Iseol nodded lightly and followed Chung Myung down the stage.

Her eyes turned to Tang Hak, who was lying behind her.

'Loudmouth.'

And then head back to Chung Myung.

'Different.'

Although he has a loudmouth too.

Chung Myung went to the front of  Tang Gun-ak with Yoo Iseol and reached out his hand.

"Hurry up and give it to me. Detox."

Tang Gun-ak also passed the quickly prepared detox without saying much.

"This will do."

"Tsk."

Chung Myung, who put the detox in Yoo Iseol's hand, frowned.

"Why are you fighting so ignorant?"

"I don't want to breathe in the same place." (The raw is "같은 데서 숨 쉬기 싫어.")

"……uh."

He was glad Tang Hak didn't hear that.

Chung Myung nodded and turned his body around.

"If you treat poisoning poorly, it became complicated so make sure you treat it now. Jo-Gol Sahyung, escort."

"What are you going to do?"

"Me?"

Chung Myung smiles.

"I have to go get a present now."

His eyes turned to Tang Wei, trembling on the platform.

"No, should I say I'm going to give them a present?"

Chung Myung's hand tapped the handle of the plum sword.

‘Be prepared.’

‘An ancestor's whip hurts a little.’
