Chapter 601 - Side Story 35

Right Commander chuckled.

"Of course, whether it's fifty thousand or a hundred thousand, you could somehow break through the human wall's heaven and earth net. If it's you guys."

"What do you want?"

"You still don't know?"

Tang Yu-jeong stared quietly at Right Commander and then answered.

"Earlier you seemed unconcerned even if Dad didn't intervene in our affairs. That means ultimately your goal isn't our lives, right?"

"Smart."

Then there was meaning in mobilizing fifty thousand people. Not experts, but fifty thousand mixed with ordinary people who couldn't even use martial arts.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yu-jeong let out a sigh.

"Then... Asura Blood. In the end, that's all it is."

Jin Heon spat blood and shouted.

"If Asura Blood spreads, it won't distinguish friend from foe. Not only the orthodox sect but all the Green Forest bandits will die too!"

"You think I don't know that, kid?"

"What?"

Only then did Jin Heon realize what Right Commander was trying to do.

Tang Yu-jeong said.

"It's not about which side is important to these guys. They were trying to make us kill people with Asura Blood. To remind people of their fear and bury us completely in Jianghu."

Right Commander laughed loudly.

"If you knew this early, you shouldn't have come here!"

"You're the one who deceived. Gyeong came to help you. Despite our opposition."

"Because he's stupid. Because he looks down on the world. If he had experienced someone like Poison Dragon like me, he wouldn't trust people so easily."

Tang Yu-jeong looked at Right Commander and said.

"The one who made people not trust is you, not Dad, lackey."

Right Commander bared his teeth.

"This wench."

Right Commander shook Tang Gyeong violently and shouted.

"With just this one, everyone in Mount Song will die and more! The entire Dengfeng County area will become hell, and I could mix it in lakes and wells to make all of Henan a dead land where people can't live. And yet you dare to act arrogant before me?"

"That won't happen. Gyeong won't use Asura Blood."

"Will it really be so? That depends on me, not you, doesn't it?"

Right Commander put strength into his hand and Tang Gyeong's face was gradually turning pale.

Jin Heon shouted.

"You guys are the ones who use poison, not us! We'll expose your schemes to the world!"

Right Commander raised his head with an arrogant gaze.

"Impossible. You will all die here at my hands today. Starting with this one first!"

Tang Gyeong's eyes began to flicker.

Jin Heon desperately charged at Right Commander. He unleashed moves with all the strength he could muster.

"Uooooh!"

Since Right Commander was holding Tang Gyeong with one hand, he only had one hand to respond with. Rather than thinking to kill or injure Right Commander, Jin Heon intended to somehow interfere so Tang Gyeong could escape.

So he poured out moves with everything he had. Numerous hand shadows covered Right Commander. He tried to strike Right Commander's entire body indiscriminately.

But Jin Heon's fists were blocked in the middle every time. With just Right Commander's one hand!

Although Jin Heon grew up in South Sea Sword Sect, among the three he most resembled Jin Ja-gang's personality and inherited his constitution and poison exactly.

Therefore Jin Ja-gang transmitted martial arts through Son Bi. Thus Jin Heon actually resembled Jin Ja-gang more than Tang Gyeong, who learned Jin Ja-gang's martial arts through secret manuals. That meant he was an easier opponent for Right Commander to face...

Jin Heon couldn't even touch Right Commander. Watching Tang Gyeong dying while being unable to do anything about Right Commander was extremely desperate.

"Snap out of it, Gyeong! Aaaaah!"

Jin Heon threw his entire body at Right Commander. Right Commander struck down at Jin Heon's shoulder with his hand blade.

Crack! His shoulder bone broke. Right Commander changed direction and twisted to grab Jin Heon's neck. Jin Heon endured the pain and firmly gripped Right Commander's arm that was grabbing his neck.

And shouted with all his might.

"You said you'd save us! Do something!"

He was speaking to Tang Yu-jeong.

Right Commander had one arm holding Tang Gyeong and the other holding Jin Heon, but was simultaneously caught himself. But Right Commander remained relaxed throughout.

Right Commander powerfully raised his arm as if Jin Heon gripping his arm was insignificant. Jin Heon's neck was strangled and his feet left the ground.

"Sis... ter..."

Right Commander let out a snickering laugh. Then he turned to look at Tang Yu-jeong.

"Now only you remain. Will I break these guys' necks first, or will you..."

She wasn't there.

"..."

Right Commander was momentarily confused. Tang Yu-jeong wasn't in the spot where she had been standing just moments ago, and the Twin Merciless Axe was just blinking at him blankly.

"Hey, lackey. Put my siblings down."

Tang Yu-jeong's voice was heard from behind Right Commander.

"What?"

The moment Right Commander turned around, Tang Yu-jeong's fist plunged into Right Commander's stomach.

Bam!

Right Commander flew in a straight line and crashed into the screen wall of the main Buddha hall.

Crash!

Jin Heon was dropped. However, even in that moment, Right Commander didn't let go of Tang Gyeong. No, Right Commander did let go, but Tang Gyeong grabbed Right Commander and flew together.

Jin Heon rolled on the floor and got up rubbing his neck. His eyes widened. Tang Gyeong was crawling onto the fallen Right Commander while his eyes shone with a green light.

"Stop!"

Jin Heon now realized why Tang Yu-jeong had so adamantly tried to stop them from using Asura Blood.

Asura Blood is a powerful force but also a stigma.

If it becomes known that Asura Blood was used, the terror carved into Jianghu's martial world would resurface. That's what Tang Yu-jeong worried about and what Right Commander wanted.

But Tang Gyeong had no intention of stopping. He spoke in an almost crawling voice.

"Sister... Brother. I'm sorry... I'll end it... with my own hands. In Dad's place..."

The green energy in Tang Gyeong's eyes deepened.

Jin Heon looked at Tang Yu-jeong to stop him, but Tang Yu-jeong just had a somehow troubled expression.

Jin Heon couldn't say to do it or not to do it. If he doesn't use Asura Blood, Tang Gyeong will die. But if he uses Asura Blood, it becomes what Right Commander wants.

Then Right Commander's eyes snapped open.

At the same time, a roar burst from Tang Gyeong's mouth.

"Aaaaah!"

The bloodstreams that had been flowing like threads from Tang Gyeong's body sprayed out like leaking from a holed sack.

Tang Gyeong powerfully struck a poison palm at Right Commander's chest. Right Commander raised his protective energy.

Bang!

From the rebound force of the protective energy, Tang Gyeong's hand, shoulder, and body were flung backward and rolled around. However, some of the poison energy remained on Right Commander's chest.

Right Commander twisted his face while clutching his chest and stood up. He was covered in the blood Tang Gyeong sprayed and had been hit by Asura Blood's poison palm on his chest. Right Commander tore off his upper garment. A reddish trace of the poison palm remained on his chest.

Jin Heon watched Right Commander closely.

But.

The distinctive scarlet flame of Asura Blood wasn't blooming.

"Kukukuk."

Right Commander began to laugh.

Right Commander spread both arms and laughed loudly.

"Wahahahaha! Wahahahahahaha!"

Tang Gyeong and Jin Heon couldn't believe their eyes.

"Why? Why...?"

Right Commander's eyes gleamed.

"I have a body close to Vajra Indestructibility! Like Beombon was, Asura Blood doesn't work on me either!"

Tang Gyeong and Jin Heon's eyes widened.

Vajra Indestructible Body!

The greatest nemesis of poison arts that naturally becomes immune to all poisons since poison cannot penetrate the body.

Right Commander laughed loudly in joy. It was worth somehow getting close to the Vajra Indestructible Body with the help of numerous elixirs by half-force to face Jin Ja-gang. Even the world's Asura Blood couldn't do anything to him!

But something was strange.

Right Commander kept blinking one eye.

His eye was stinging and itchy, and bumps rose on his neck. The area where the poison palm struck swelled up plumply.

Thanks to the Vajra Indestructibility's effect, the poison truly couldn't penetrate deeply under the skin. Moreover, since it wasn't a complete Vajra Indestructible Body, the poison energy seemed to hover at the skin's surface.

But no matter how kindly he looked at it, this didn't feel like the extreme Asura Blood. Either there should be no poison energy at all or the skin should be melting away, but it was itchy and stinging...

"What is this?"

Right Commander was so absurd he was even flustered. After pondering and examining the poison energy for a while, he finally realized the poison energy's identity.

Right Commander looked at Tang Gyeong with an absurd face.

"What is this powerful mixed poison?"

Mixed poison...

"..."

Tang Gyeong was equally flustered.

"Mixed poison?!"

Suddenly, a strange thought occurred and he looked at Tang Yu-jeong.

Tang Yu-jeong slightly averted her gaze, and somehow her eyes were wavering.

"Sister?"

Tang Yu-jeong turned her head and said.

"Uh, um. So... Gyeong-ah. I couldn't help it. I don't remember either, but they say I went around sucking poison like that from when I was young. Uh, um... So I even ate the main family's Three Great Deadly Poisons, but there was, uh... you who happened to be next to me unable to control poison energy and spraying poison energy... I'm sorry. But you were a baby anyway so you didn't know and I was also young and immature at the time..."

Tang Gyeong's face was stained with absurdity.

"So I've been having my Asura Blood sucked for seventeen years?"

Tang Gyeong had a blank face. He looked at Right Commander who was scratching his itchy eyes.

"But Asura Blood aside, why mixed poison..."

Tang Yu-jeong turned her head.

"Sister?"

Tang Yu-jeong awkwardly laughed "hehe" and said.

"No, well, because I kept absorbing the poison energy, at some point Asura Blood stopped coming out of you. Then I was afraid Dad or Mom would find out..."

Tang Gyeong shouted.

"So you fed me mixed poison?!"

He glanced at Right Commander. Right Commander, who said he was close to having a Vajra Indestructible Body, was still scratching his eyelids. How much must it have been for Right Commander to even call it a 'powerful' mixed poison?

"Just how much did you feed me?"

"Hehe."

Tang Gyeong felt wronged.

"I wondered why I couldn't control the poison energy..."

It was obvious without looking. She must have poured it in tremendously to make it look like Asura Blood.

But surprisingly, Jin Heon was unknowingly nodding his head.

"Brother?"

Jin Heon said awkwardly.

"I also once secretly drank alcohol at home and filled it with water because I was afraid Mother would scold me..."

"Is that the same thing?!"

The Twin Merciless Axe looked at Tang Yu-jeong going "Eww!"

"Even so, there are other things to suck. Eww. Why would you eat such a thing?"

"No, rather than sucking it, I just... the poison energy that flowed out..."

Tang Yu-jeong sighed and formally apologized to Tang Gyeong again.

"I'm sorry."

"Is sorry enough?! Then what about my life?!"

"You also told that lackey mister to apologize earlier. It's all in the past..."

Tang Gyeong was so absurd that tears even came.

"Hey, why is a man crying over that?"

Tang Gyeong wiped his tears.

"How much anxiety I felt not being able to control my poison energy..."

Perhaps that anxiety and nervousness was the cause that made him write letters to Right Commander.

Knowing that, Tang Yu-jeong also apologized again with a guilty expression.

"I'm sorry..."

Right Commander, momentarily forgotten by them, was so absurd and dumbfounded by what had just happened before his eyes.

"These youngsters have no regard for me?"

Right Commander took out a signal flare from his chest while blinking his itchy eyes ceaselessly and pulled it.

Whoosh! Smoke rose.

Tang Yu-jeong, Tang Gyeong, and Jin Heon looked at Right Commander.

Soon responses came in smoke from various places below the mountain where Huixian Temple was located. Not far. Right at the foot of the mountain. A distance where they could come up immediately. Fifty thousand Green Forest bandits had come from Shaolin Temple to Huixian Temple.

Right Commander ground his teeth while scratching his swollen eyelids.

"Go ahead and do as you please. Just don't forget that hell has now begun."
