Return of The Mount Hua – Chapter 209. An ancestor's whip hurts a little (4)

"This... this crazy old man really did this!"

Tang Gun-ak tucked his hand into the sleeve. His hand, which gripped the dagger tightly, was shaking as if about to unleash it. It was a movement that seemed to tell how excited Tang Gun-ak was.

But Tang Wei just laughed at him.

"It's nothing but for a legitimate duel."

Tang Wei's eyes glistened with a strange light.

"Qingcheng? Emei? That's not even funny! If they really turn to our enemies, it won't take a day to paint Qingcheng and Emei with blood! But what's our situation? We are surrounded and can't do anything! Is this the future of the Tang Family that Gaju wants?"

"So? You're going to poison anyone? If you do that, you'll only be the enemy of all under the heaven!"

"Or rule it. Don't you think so?"

Color disappeared from Tang Gun-ak's face. His anger is boiling and he started losing his mind.

Grit.

Tang Gunnak, who ground his teeth, shouted in a heated tone.

"What are you doing! Catch that sinner and get him to jail!"

"Sinner? Who is the sinner?"

Tang Wei pointed to Tang Gun-ak and swore.

"A sinner must be referring to the Gaju who weakened the Tang family! How much have you ignored the Tang Family to form an alliance with Mount Hua?"

"This..."

Tang Wei clicked his tongue and said.

"Gaju. The reason our elders resigned is not that they are weak. Don't forget that if you keep trying to persecute our elders in this way, we can change our minds too."

Tang Gun-ak's nails dug into the palm of his hand.

His trembling fists couldn't get out of the sleeves. Although Tang Wei committed a terrible act, Tang Wei is an Elder of the Tang Family. He can't attack him in front of everyone.

Moreover...

Tang Gun-ak, who looked back at the family members, clenched his teeth.

Although they don't show it openly, they seem to be subtly sympathizing with the words of Tang Wei.

Tang Gun-ak lamented inwardly.

'It's all my fault.' 

It was all Tang Gun-ak's mistake to give Tang Wei a chance to speak in front of so many people, to not notice that Tang Wei was hiding such ambition, and above all, to let Tang Wei and Mount Hua Divine Dragon duel.

He should’ve stopped him.

He shouldn't have thought of interfering in a clumsy way but should have stopped this duel itself. So it shouldn't have even started.

A moment's hesitation and unreasonable belief had such terrible results.

"This..."

Tang Gun-ak was about to pull out a dagger from his sleeve.

"H- Hey! Over there!"

The wind blowing from somewhere blows away the poison that filled the stage. Those who were watching from afar run away in all directions in panic.

"Hmm."

Tang Wei controlled the energy and pushed the poison up into the sky. If anyone gets inflicted with the poison, everything he's done so far will be ruined.

And towards where the poison had been lifted, Tang Wei turned his head with a fishy smile.

He sends his condolences to Chung Myung who will be a handful of blood right now...….

"W- What?"

Tang Wei's eyes grew as big as a candle.

What caught his eye was not a melted corpse.

It was just Chung Myung.

"How..."

Although the clothes he wore were stained with poison, Chung Myung's body, exposed outside the clothes, seemed to have no abnormalities.

However, he was twitching while holding the floor.

Soon.

"Uwoghh!"

Chung Myung kept on throwing up.

It looks ridiculous, but Tang Wei never laughed at the sight.

"Ugh! Uwooghh!"

Chung Myung who had vomited a couple of times, wiped his lips dry and got up with a struggle.

Tang Wei opened his mouth with difficulty.

"The poisoning..."

"Oh, did I eat too much?"

Chung Myung shook his head.

"I can't believe it has made me like this. What a dish."

"……."

Tang Wei looked at Chung Myung as if unbelievable.

Food?

Not poison?

"……how?"

How can he not be poisoned?

Tang Wei didn't know how to close the mouth that had been opened unwittingly.

Didn't everyone here see it?

He was surrounded by Gwiwangnyong, covered in Seven-Step Soul Chasing Sand, and was finally hit by Happy Smoke.

It is poison enough to turn any person who is also using Dokgong into a handful of blood.

Of course, a master with high internal strength will be able to withstand it to some extent or suppress the poisoning itself to some extent. But how could he ever be at that level!

"Ptoo!"

Chung Myung spit a few times as if her mouth was dry and then raised his head.

"First of all, I need to correct a few things."

"……."

"First, the reason why Tang Family doesn’t criticize the world is not that it doesn't use poison. Because the poison doesn't work."

"……what did you say?"

Chung Myung grinned.

Looking at Tang Wei's reaction makes him smile.

‘It reminds me of the old days.'

- But why don't you use poison even though you named Tang?

- Aigoo, Hyung-nim. Have you ever heard of the strongest person in the world that is from Tang Family?

- There isn't.

- I know. In the first place, isn't it a prestigious family that is on par with Namgungsei? In other words, Namgungsei and Hebei, both produce the best people in the world well, but it isn’t the same with Tang Family.

- It's because of the poison?

- Yes, poison is not a good thing. Of course, at the right level, it's nothing short of an omnipotent tool. If you just throw a few needles and brush them, they'll fall down. What's there to be afraid of?

- Then?

- Who's going to sharpen their dagger skills when they win so easily? They think that they are invincible if they use only the poison of the Tang family, so their nose will increase and their skills will not improve. Then, when they meet a master like you Hyung-nim, everything goes away. The idiots can't understand no matter how much I say.

Poison works for a master. However, poison does not work for the absolute master.

To conquer the world with poison?

'If that were possible, there's no way that the Tang family would have escaped from Heavenly Demon!'

It is not just Heavenly Demon. Tang Family eventually ran away because they couldn’t handle the rampage of Magyo.

If they can defeat masters just by using poison as Tang Wei says, how could Magyo drive away the Tang family?

Poison without antidote?

That just means there is no antidote, not that detoxification is impossible.

There is certainly a way to deal with poison. Chung Myung knows two things.

"How- How could you avoid the poison? Even if you hold your breath, it will seep into your skin. The same goes for other poisons!"

First is what Tang Wei said just now.

You can completely block the surroundings of your body using internal strength. If you don't inhale poison and don't let them touch your skin, there's no reason to get poisoned.

But there's no way to avoid the poison on the dagger. The poison seeps into your body as soon as it dig into your body.

The method used by absolute experts is to purify the poison that has entered the body is with internal strength. Experts who have reached the peak of the operation of qi can dispel poison with their internal strength.

They don't need an antidote or anything.

An antidote is a drug that is designed to neutralize poison just by eating it, not by internal strength.

What's the antidote for those who can survive being poisoned in the first place?

That's why the Tang family failed to become the best even with the weapon of poison.

'Tang Bo knew this from a long time ago.'

Tang Bo, who was almost treated as a public figure in the Tang Family, went through numerous lives and deaths while traversing the world. Thanks to this, he realized that he couldn't be the best in the world by leaning on poison, and he bets everything on his dagger skill alone.

That's how Anzun Tang Bo, who used to frighten the world with his dagger skill, was born.

"Well, you won't understand it even if I explain it in many ways, so I'll just say that I have a peculiar constitution."

"Pe- Peculiar constitution?" (The raw is "마, 만독불침이라고?")

"You've gone too far."

Chung Myung waved his hand.

"Continue to the second!"

Chung Myung slightly frowned.

"It's not that you're allied with Mount Hua. Mount Hua will form an alliance with Tang Family. This is an important issue, so please remember."

As soon as Tang Wei tried to open his mouth with a dumb face, Chung Myung firmly intercepted the words.

"Lastly, third."

"……."

"Tang Gaju-nim saw through this from the beginning and tried to work with Mount Hua, but you are clueless until the end. It must have been hard for you, Tang Gaju-nim. To have people like this be fed treat them as human." (The raw is 그쪽 같은 인간도 식솔이라고 먹여 살려야 하니.")

"Y- You punk!"

Chung Myung held the sword in his hand.

"Well, let's continue. If you have poison you want to use, feel free to use it.

"W- Wait. You shouldn't have raised your internal strength… You've already..."

Tang Wei, who hastily opened his mouth, flinched for a moment and closed his mouth. He was so panicked that he brought up something he shouldn't have said.

"Oh, that?"

Chung Myung grinned.

"Do you know the characteristics of a stupid person?"

"……."

"They think they are the only ones who are smart. I expected this kind of trick even before the duel started. Most of the things you yangban do are obvious."

"Are you saying you've already taken care of the antidote?"

"Oh, you keep saying stupid things. Your poison doesn't work on me."

Chung Myung smirks.

"If you don't believe me, try again."

"Even if f you are not asking me to, I intend to do so!"

Tang Wei's sleeve spewed Gwiwangnyong again.

The thick smoke colors the surroundings of Chung Myung in a hazy color. Instead of occupying a narrower range than a little while ago, the concentration of the poison was increased.

"It's no use."

Chung Myung swung the sword once and pushed Gwiwangnyong away.

Then he trudges to Tang Wei as if nothing happened.

Tang Wei looked at Chung Myung with an almost absent-minded face.

Clearly, he saw with his own eyes that Gwiwangnyong entered through the nose and mouth of Chung Myung. Then he should be poisoned, and by now his whole body should be melting and burning.

But now Chung Myung is not poisoned no matter how you see it.

"I'm sorry, but this isn't going to work. I told you, I have a special constitution."

It sounds absurd, but it was true.

Chung Myung's body contains the purest energy in the world. That is also the energy of Tao.

The Tao energy is originally specialized energy for healing (파사(破邪)) and purification (정화(淨化)). And no master of the Tao in the world could have purer energy than Chung Myung.

This is the energy of Tao that could be gathered because it was Chung Myung, which started from the beginning after seeing the end of its history. Poison doesn't matter in front of that energy.

‘I was going to take out one of Chaos Origin Pill if I had to.’

It detoxified the poison more clearly than he thought. He feels like wants to stroke the energy in his stomach.

It’s should be…Considering the amount of hard work he put into collecting this, it should be as effective as this!

Chung Myung grinned and said.

"Now, what are you going to do?

At that moment, Tang Wei's expression changed completely.

His face, which had been distorted by bewilderment and fear until a while ago, regained calm.

"Hahahaha. You don't even know your condition properly. Just look at your hands and talk!"

"Huh?"

Chung Myung lowered his head, spread his hands and looked at it.

"Huh? What's wrong with this?"

From his fingertips to his wrists, it is dyed black. This was, of course, a symptom of poisoning.

"I knew you were great. But I guess that great guy couldn't get the poison out of him either."

“Wow… what kind of poison is there?”

It's penetrating through him. What a terrible poison it is.

Tang Wei spoke with a triumphant look.

“When you go to hell and meet King Yama (King of Hell), tell them that you came to hell because you underestimated the poison of the Tang Family.”

"Oh, you're so impatient."

"……What?"

Chung Myung smirks.

"It seems that there is a limit to what it can solve on its own. But what about that?"

"The poison isn’t detoxible...…."

It was that moment.

Hwaak!

He thought he could hear something spouting, and a big flame rose from Chung Myung's hands.

At the same time, acrid smoke rises into the air with flames.

"……."

Chung Myung stuck out his belly.

"If I can't detox it, I'll burn it!"

Looking at the flame Chung Myung had lit, Tang Wei stepped back a couple of steps without realizing it.

"Sa- Samadhi…….Samadhi Dvesha Fire (삼매진화(三昧瞋火))?"

How?

Do you mean that young man can use Samadhi Dvesha Fire that peak masters could use?

The moment when Tang Wei was dumbfounded.

Baek Chun, watching the scene, suddenly sighed deeply.

"...that guy burns alcohol poison with fire, then burns real Dokgong (Poison Art) with fire."

‘I hope you don't burn Mount Hua...….’

‘Please.’
