Episode 411Shake (5)
The eyes of the young man who was holding the dagger in a strange way, as if holding it, were extremely dark.
âI couldnât reach it.â
The blade of the dagger was very sharp.
Decent thickness, appropriate length, and decent handle.
It wasnât a commonly seen item, but it wasnât something worth paying a fortune for either. At least that was how it seemed on the outside.
âThey should have stuck this thing into his body. If I had done that, I would never have survived.â
Two-headed poisonous rain.
After regaining his memory, it was Sima Hyunâs unique killing method that he had honed over the past three years solely to kill the evil spirit.
In reality, it was just a killing method, and it had to be seen as Sima Xuanâs unique method designed to kill the evil spirit.
Except for the intangible poison of the Four Heavenly Danga, there is no poison that can penetrate the Yin God, which is a combination of the Yin Hwa Red Ryu and the Yin Han Baek Ryu.
There is no chance of victory in a direct confrontation, and assassination is even more impossible. In other words, the only options left are to hope to die in a natural disaster or dream of being murdered by someone elseâs hands.
Naturally, Sima Xuan could not wait until then, and he definitely wanted to take revenge with his own hands.
So, the two-headed poison monument was created with great effort over three years.
Since most extreme poisons donât work, amplify the poisonâs power with synthetic poison and temporarily reduce the opponentâs vitality to near nothingness.
If I had fully known the manufacturing method of the unique poisonous Sahwamun (death flower pattern) that has been passed down from generation to generation, I would not have come up with this method.
However, the master of Yinshin Simahyeon and the Ganja of the Four Eumsect did not give him any information about the Four Flowers Gate.
In order to be recognized as a Yin God, one had to learn several secret arts. Sima Xuan learned most of them on his own, but he only knew the basics of the recipe for Sihwamun.
Thatâs why I created a poison dagger that is not a one-hit killer, but a two-stroke killer. A secret art of death in which the opponent has no choice but to die.
âDamn it.â
Sima Xuan gritted his teeth without realizing it.
âI should have held back.â
He recalled that moment.
The moment when Yeonhojeongâs chains were shot at the Yayul enemy at terrifying speed.
Even though he was walking in a lower realm than them, Sima Xuan could still tell. I could intuit it.
The Yayul enemy knew that they could block Yeonhojeongâs attack. Regardless of whether it would work properly, they were already preparing for Yeonhojeongâs attack.
Furthermore, Yayuljeok was thinking of running away. This was a fact that could be known because only the Yayul enemy was observed from the start of the fight until the end.
The enemyâs flight.
Sima Xuan couldnât bear it.
If you miss this spot, you will never be able to catch it again. Rather, after he gets himself together, he will come to assassinate him.
And he himself can never stop the secret attack of the evil spirit. So I had to finish everything on the spot.
Grumbling.
Sima Xuan closed his eyes.
âno.â
He blamed himself.
âMaybe it was all my imagination.â
I know enough about the body of sound. In particular, after the marriage spell was broken, they monitored his every move and tried to understand his words, actions, and habits. S~eaÊá´h the nôᴠel Fire.nÑt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
But what if the sound deceived you?
What if the appearance you show to the outside world is all made up, not necessarily because of you?
In normal cases, this is impossible. However, this does not apply to the sound body. Moreover, leaving everything else aside, he was said to be a spy dispatched to the central plains by an unidentified group outside of the shadows.
It means that they are better than anyone else at hiding and hiding it. Moreover, seeing as he even cast a spell on himself, it seemed like he had many abilities that he didnât even know about.
âIn the end, it doesnât change the fact that I made the situation worse.â
Deep.
The dagger fell from my hand and hit the ground.
It was a tool that was sharpened again and again without a single day of rest. It was so sharp that even though I didnât throw it and just fell naturally, half of the blade stuck in the ground.
I was able to see how hard Sima Hyeon lived to get that one chance.
âWhat are you doing?â
flinch!
Sima Hyeon turned his head.
Yeonhojeong was standing there.
âI knew he was a dull guy from the first time we met, but I didnât think he was the type of person to be alone.â
Sima Hyeon looked at Yeon Hao-jeong in silence.
There was no expression on Yeon Ho-jeongâs face. In other words, it was close to expressionless, but it didnât look cold or indifferent either.
After a while, Sima Xuan opened his mouth.
âIs it time?â
âWhen?â
âBecause of me, you missed your target and your subordinate is in danger of death.â
âhowever?â
âYouâre the one who came to kill me.â
Yeon Ho-jeong thought. This guyâs personality definitely doesnât suit that of an assassin.
If he were an ordinary assassin, he would only care about missing his target and not that his subordinates were injured.
Regardless of nature, anyone who lives in such an environment has no choice but to do that. However, Sima Hyeon âunderstoodâ Yeon Hao-jeongâs anger and self-blame for almost losing his subordinate.
Understanding others begins with empathy. Contrary to his words and actions, Sima Xuan was also a great man who knew how to take care of his people.
âIf you thought I would, why were you waiting here?â
âItâs dangerous no matter where you go now.â
The corners of Yeon Ho-jeongâs mouth rose.
Thereâs an expression, but I still canât feel anything.
âI wonder if that bastard will launch a secret attack?â
âexactly.â
It was an honest answer.
Yeon Ho-jeong shook his head.
âThere is no need to worry about that. âAt least for the time being.â
âWhy is that?â
âThe Murimmaeng is targeting that guy. Moreover, we even had a cool fight. âDo you think thereâs even a little brat like you left in his head right now?â
ââ¦!â
âAre you overly self-conscious? Or was his perspective narrowed due to the shock of failing to seek revenge? Now heâs trying hard to get his base back after being robbed. âI donât even care about you.â
ââ¦.â
Sima Xuanâs expression did not change. He just watches Yeon Ho-jeong with slightly shaking eyes.
âAnd I have no intention of killing you either.â
âWhy is that?â
âWhy?â
âArenât you angry? âYou lost him because of me?â
âIâm angry. âI was very angry with you.â
âBut why?â
âIf you kill everyone just because youâre angry, is that a mindless murderer or a person? Well, my enemies might see me that way.â
ââ¦Why donât you at least slap me on the cheek.â
âDo you want to feel at ease?â
ââ¦.â
âYouâre in no condition to talk properly. But Iâm busy. So, I have to force you to come to your senses.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Yeon Ho-jeong folded his arms proudly.
âArenât you angry? right. I was very angry at you too. But the person I am most angry with is not you, but myself.â
Sima Xuanâs eyes deepened.
âMe?â
âAnger at my inability to fend off even a surprise attack from a brat like you. Anger at myself for being stupid enough to not have anticipated the actions of an easy guy like you.â
ââ¦!â
âIn the end, it is my fault. I knew you were a clumsy guy. Nevertheless, I was so absorbed in my own growth that I failed to take it into consideration. âItâs a painful mistake.â
Sima Xuanâs eyes trembled slightly.
Yeon Ho-jeong continued.
âIn the same sense, you can say that my subordinate was hurt because of you, but in the end, my biggest fault was not being able to properly convey information about you to my subordinate.â
âItâs not because of me?â
âItâs because of you. And itâs also because of me. âThe only thing that matters is which part I feel greater responsibility for.â
ââ¦.â
âIf you feel even the slightest bit sorry, please at least apologize to my subordinate later. âThatâs enough for me.â
âMaybe heâs not your subordinate.â
âThatâs your situation and my subordinateâs situation.â
ââ¦.â
âJust say one more word. Donât look at my subordinates too sparingly. There are times when he appears like a fool, but he is so big-hearted that he canât even be compared to a brat like you who doesnât know how to wait for revenge. âI wonât even understand why youâre apologizing.â
Sima Xuanâs face distorted slightly.
âI donât feel sorry for your subordinate. âWe werenât even colleagues to begin with, so you just told me to protect you as you please.â
âSo what?â
ââ¦.â
âIf youâre not sorry, donât apologize. âIf you make an apology full of pretense, all you can do is make fun of the other person.â
âAre you sure you donât hate me?â
âDo you want me to hate you? âDo you want me to kill you right now?â
ââ¦.â
âWhatâs so confusing is none of my business. What matters is now. If you have no hostility towards me, I wonât care whether you follow me or not. âBut I donât want you to follow along without being of any help.â
Sima Hyeon, who was looking up at Yeon Hao-jeong, pulled out the dagger stuck in the ground, cleaned it, and put it in his arms.
âWhat do you want to know from me?â
âAll about wildness.â
ââ¦.â
âCurrently, Yayuljeok, your master and enemy, Yinshin, is stationed near Yaseong with nine hundred elite assassins.â
For a moment, Sima Xuanâs eyes caught fire.
It is said that the enemy, whom we almost missed forever, is stationed near Yaseong. That fact revitalized his spirit, which had lost motivation.
At the same time, I was puzzled.
âNear the wilderness⦠why on earth?â
Stationing literally means lining up assassins like soldiers and waiting for the right moment to attack, but that was not a strategy that an assassin could come up with.
Assassins always assume the worst. It is standard practice to create at least a secondary or tertiary safe house in case the main camp is robbed, and of course, Yinshin Yayuljeok also has numerous safe houses hidden in Guangdong.
Yeon Ho-jeongâs eyes became dull.
âIsnât it strange? Thereâs no need for that. âIn fact, they are targeting us in the wild, as if they are openly summoning their troops, as if they had hidden themselves more closely.â
ââ¦Thatâs strange.â
âItâs because of Saeumgyo.â
ââ¦?!â
âThis guy is a spy for the Saeum Church. And now we need to inform the main base about this situation. Anyone carrying out operations in a foreign country, whether it is Sejak or anything else, has an obligation to immediately report any sudden changes in the situation. âItâs the same in any organization, regardless of whether itâs the midfielder or the new team.â
âAre you saying that he is trying to retake the main base in order to contact the Four Eums or something?â
âEven if it doesnât mean we can recapture it, there is definitely a reason to stop by at least once. âI think it is to send information to the Saeumgyo.â
ââ¦no.â
âwhat?â
Sima Xuan shook his head.
âOf course, there could be a reason for that. But thatâs not all. âHeâs not the kind of guy who would do such a reckless thing just for that one reason.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs expression became serious.
âSo what do you think? âFor what reason do you think heâs trying to retake the base?â
âSaeumgyo⦠It is to send a message there and at the same timeâ¦â
âAt the same time?â
Sima Xuan touched his lips without realizing it.
âFlee⦠Damage⦠If your troops are disappearing and you are falling behind in intelligence operationsâ¦â â
â¦â
âItâs war.â
âwhat?â
Sima Xuanâs eyes lit up.
âHe is preparing for war.â
ââ¦are you going to go to war with us?â
âNot the war you think of, but a shadowy war that only assassins can wage.â
ââ¦!â
âAnd if itâs as I expected⦠âHe must have already infiltrated the wilderness.â
Yeon Ho-jeongâs face became grim.
âMore details later. âLetâs move. Hurry up.â
