Episode 77. Unexpected Mission (3)

Hanbin, who saw Hyeolhwa’s expression, continued speaking with a meaningful expression.

“Well, the rules are simple. Whoever puts a knife to the other person’s throat first. Of course, if you leave Songhwasan, you lose.”

“… … .”

“If the opponent doesn’t accept defeat, we can just draw the line and the match will be over.”

The bloodshot eyes narrowed.

Because the idea of ​​slitting a person’s throat came out so easily.

Hyeolhwa was convinced.

‘That guy is definitely a savior!’

Hyeolhwa looked into Hanbin’s eyes for a long time and then opened his mouth.

“What if I surrender?”

“I’ll be your servant for three years. Isn’t that the price you should pay for saving my life?”

“hmm.”

Hyeolhwa looked back and forth between his sword and Hanbin.

As we investigated, Hanbin’s inaction was at its peak.

I heard that he also defeated a disciple of the Hwasan faction who had just entered the super-climax through a scheme.

Looking at the situation alone, it was advantageous for Hyeolhwa. But strangely, his intuition told him not to take the bet.

At that moment, Hanbin suddenly touched his stomach and showed signs of discomfort.

The blood flower did not miss the sight.

It was clearly a symptom of poisoning.

Hyeolhwa, who had been looking at Hanbin, turned his gaze with a faint smile.

Hyeolhwa smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the begging bowl hanging from the end of the sword.

The begging bowl was covered in poison.

To be exact, the iron plate was also poisoned.

There was no way the begging bowl containing the collected information and instructions from above could be left unattended.

Just in case, Hyeolhwa prepared this begging bowl.

The name of the poison is Ilgakbicho (一刻秘草).

It was a poison that did not take life, but paralyzed the five senses in an instant.

The Black Heaven’s killers are immune to this poison, but what about Hanbin?

Actually, I should have remembered this poison a long time ago, but I had completely forgotten about it due to Hanbin’s fierce fighting spirit.

The blood flower said.

“Very well. I will do as you say. But you had better not leave this mountain. My men are surrounding this place.”

“That’s what I have to say. Do you think I wouldn’t have given orders to my subordinates?”

Hanbin smiled brightly.

Of course, this was a lie. Right now, the Tiger Squad is probably rolling around in the water tank.

However, there is no way that the blood flower can know this fact.

Hyeolhwa looked around as if he was shaken by Hanbin’s words.

Hyeolhwa began to feel angry again at Hanbin’s unyielding attitude.

Then Hanbin shouted.

“It starts now!”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin disappeared, leaving a faint afterimage before my eyes.

Is it because of Hanbin’s red uniform?

The afterimage he left behind was like a red sunset.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

Hyeolhwa’s gaze turned towards the sky where the sun was setting.

Hyeolhwa smiled meaningfully as he looked in the direction where Hanbin disappeared.

The time it takes for the effects of Ilgakbicho to appear varies depending on the area.

For a third-rate or second-rate warrior, it may take only a moment, but for a peak or super-peak warrior, it may take more than an hour.

After the effects took effect, I would have to suffer from the toxicity of the Ilgakbicho for about a day.

In other words, there was no need to rush. If I hid for about an hour and then slowly approached and caught him, this mission would be over.

Hyeolhwa hid himself to the other side for concealment, a bright smile on his face.

She decided to get out of Hanbin’s range for now in order to achieve a perfect victory with her own senses.

It was the moment when Hyeolhwa left the empty lot and headed into a dense pine forest.

Suddenly my body swayed.

Phew!

One foot is stuck in a hole.

“Why, there’s a hole in a place like this… … .”

Hyeolhwa couldn’t continue speaking.

Because before he could find the answer, he felt the cool blade of a sword on the back of his neck.

Hyeolhwa looked up at the blade.

The gaze of a beast that I encountered for a moment.

It was Hanbin who had just disappeared.

He spoke in a trembling voice.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing? Have you already forgotten? We’re making a bet right now, aren’t we?”

“… … .”

Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin blankly without saying anything.

There was nothing wrong with Hanbin’s words. However, he couldn’t back down like this.

The blood flower cried out.

“This is foul play. Since when has Salsu been setting traps like this? I absolutely cannot accept this.”

“Hmm, so you’re saying that Salsu is picky about how to kill his target? Since when did Heukcheon act like a righteous sect?”

“hmm.”

Hanbin continued speaking as Hyeomhwa let out a low groan.

“I can’t do it.”

“Just cut my neck like I promised… … .”

Hanbin swung his sword before Hyeolhwa could finish speaking.

Whoosh!

At the sound of the wind, Hyeolhwa closed his eyes without realizing it.

Crunch!

Thud!

Hyeolhwa opened his eyes slightly at the unfamiliar sound.

Pine needles fluttering in the air came in through her slightly open eyes.

what?

Hyeolhwa’s eyes grew wide.

The pine needles fluttering before my eyes were not red, but black.

“ah!”

The blood flowed elastically.

What was flying in the air right now was not pine needles, but her own hair.

She chose death, but now she realizes that it was not her true heart.

A strange feeling crept into her chest. It was the will to live.

What Hanbin had just done might have been the will to kill that Hyeolhwa had.

However, Hyeolhwa closed the gap in his heart again and ignited his fighting spirit.

I was confident that I could subdue Hanbin if I had just half an hour to spare.

‘Just half an hour!’

While Hyeolhwa was internally shouting out for Ban Shijin, Hanbin continued speaking.

“It’s still too early to finish as promised. Let’s give it a little more time.”

Sasa-sak.

When I opened my eyes to the sound of blood spurting through the grass, Hanbin was gone.

“phew.”

Hyeolhwa sighed and looked around a little more carefully.

Her target is now half a century.

After half an hour, the counterattack would begin.

As she walked slowly, a cave appeared in front of her.

Hyeolhwa, standing in front of the cave, picked up a stone and rolled it inside.

Degururu.

Bam.

The stone stopped as if it were a cave with no end.

After assessing the situation, Hyeolhwa quickly piled up branches at the entrance to the cave to camouflage himself.

After she finished preparing, she entered the cave cautiously.

Hyeolhwa sat cross-legged comfortably in the cave and waited for the time to come.

After about half an hour, Hyeolhwa tilted his head.

Strangely, my eyes started to close.

Why do you say you fall asleep at a critical moment when your neck could be cut off?

This was an absurd situation.

Hyeolhwa opened his crossed legs and clenched his teeth.

But the drowsiness didn’t stop.

The bloodshot finally pinched his thigh.

I pinched her so hard that blood started to flow out of her thigh.

Hyeolhwa tilted his head.

what?

I couldn’t feel my thigh right now.

Hyeolhwa trembled his eyes and tried to find an answer.

But it was a waste of effort.

Swish.

She completely succumbed to the demon of sleep that had fallen upon her like a thousand-pound rock.

For a moment, a fresh scent wafted from somewhere.

Is this a dream?

After a moment of doubt, she quickly opened her eyes.

Flash.

Hyeolhwa, who was looking around, felt a cold chill on the back of his neck.

This feeling is… … .

At the same time, Hanbin’s voice was heard.

“did you sleep well?”

“Ugh, how cowardly… … .”

“You wrote it too.”

“What did I write that makes you say that?”

“Since we both used poison once, it’s fair to say that the contest of poison is fair, right? Of course, I won the contest.”

“I absolutely cannot admit it… … .”

Hyeolhwa couldn’t continue speaking.

This is because the tip of Hanbin’s sword suddenly dug into the back of his neck.

Pick!

The wound wasn’t deep, but blood was flowing from the nape of his neck.

Stop!

Hanbin’s intention is not to allow an answer.

Hanbin said as Hyeonhwa gritted his teeth and glared at him.

“I’m not a compassionate person enough to tolerate water running wild in my area.”

“rather…….”

Before Hyeolhwa could finish speaking, Hanbin spoke.

“First of all, it would be better to listen to the rest.”

When Hanbin’s expression seemed to relax slightly, Hyeolhwa answered as if he had found hope.

“Okay, tell me.”

“While you were sleeping, that guy named Sipalho came by.”

Hyeolhwa narrowed his eyes.

Sipalho was a person who had overcome many crises of life and death.

Hyeolhwa asked urgently.

“Did you kill him?”

“I told you. I said I was gone. If I were dead, I’d be lying next to you.”

“hmm.”

Hyeolhwa let out a groan full of emotions.

Hanbin chuckled at that sight.

“He gave me this and left.”

After finishing speaking, Hanbin took out an iron coin from his bosom and threw it.

Whoosh.

When Hyeolhwa, who was holding the iron sword, looked at him with a suspicious gaze, Hanbin said.

“Oh, you suspicious bastard, don’t worry, I didn’t put a single drop of poison in there.”

“hmm.”

Hyeolhwa coughed dryly and began to examine the iron plate closely.

There was a small note written there.

Follow.

Hyeolhwa narrowed his eyes. This was clearly an order from Heukcheon.

‘Follow me?’

Hyeolhwa looked at Hanbin. Heukcheon’s order was clearly to follow Hanbin.

Perhaps the owner of Heukcheon was aware of all of this situation.

As Hyeolhwa clenched his teeth, faint letters appeared next to the iron sword.

It was a secret word meaning ‘entrance’.

Only then did Hyeolhwa understand the meaning.

The new mission was to infiltrate Cheonsujang and find out Hanbin’s identity.

Hyeolhwa got up quietly and gave the money in a restrained manner.

“I will keep my promise.”

Hanbin smiled brightly at that sight and said.

“You talk a little too briefly. I guess that’s how servants talk these days.”

At Hanbin’s laughter, Hyeolhwa quickly lowered his head.

“Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry.”

She quickly changed her stance like a super assassin.

As Hyeolhwa lowered her head, a loud noise came from her stomach.

Gulp.

As Hyeolhwa looked at him with an awkward expression, Hanbin held out a bamboo tube from his bosom.

Hyeolhwa hurriedly waved his hand.

“are you okay.”

Hanbin held out the bamboo tube and looked at Hyeolhwa with a dumbfounded expression.

“I’m not telling you to eat it. Just smell it.”

“yes?”

When Hyeolhwa opened his eyes wide and asked, Hanbin continued speaking with a serious expression.

“If you don’t want to die, smell it.”

Hyeolhwa opened the cork of the bamboo tube and sniffed.

A refreshing scent tickled my nose.

It was similar to the scent I smelled when I just woke up, but different.

“It’s done now.”

Hanbin snatched the bamboo tube.

“What the heck is that?”

“Have you ever heard of the seven poisons?”

Hyeolhwa’s expression changed in an instant.

“no way…….”

She looked at Hanbin, her words trailing off.

Although it is not the most vicious poison, it is said to be the most difficult to detoxify. It is called Chiljongchildok.

Hanbin smiled meaningfully as if he had been waiting.

“That’s right, the seven poisons.”

“hmm.”

“According to the story, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times and released him seven times. This poison can poison or poison the target at any time, just like the story.”

As Hanbin explained, Hyeolhwa’s expression became increasingly distorted.

“Give me such vicious poison… … .”

“Don’t you think that your in-laws are talking nonsense?”

“hmm.”

Even the blood flower had nothing to say.

“Don’t get excited and listen carefully. In order to detoxify the seven poisons, you have to detoxify them seven times in total.”

“When on earth did you use poison?”

“You took it.”

Hanbin gestured to the begging bowl.
