#The Choice of the Poisonous Horse (1)

A sight that is simply unbelievable.

Of course, people are also flowers that wither. Everyone’s beautiful flowers wither, dry up, and bow their heads.

But this was something really unexpected.

Because it was such a brilliant time in the past, it didn’t resonate with me even more.

I never thought I would become such a pathetic and lonely patient.

“What are you doing? Why don’t you come here and say hello first.”

I swallowed the breath I had been holding back from the demon’s orders and approached him. Then I bowed down and took the lottery ticket, paying my respects.

“Assistant Chief. I greet you, Your Majesty.”

Yang Dae-heon, the dog, just nods his head, as if he finds it difficult to answer.

It’s a sight that wouldn’t be strange if he died at any time.

Haa. Haa.

Irregular and weak breathing sounds like death, with a faint stench rather than life.

“Teacher, this is the child I told you about earlier. Kkeuk kkeuk.”

The exhausted Dokma, who had been falling asleep to the sound of the magician’s voice, reacted by wiggling his white eyebrows.

“Did you get poisoned by the Immortal? … . Gongsunjeol… … It must be that bastard’s doing… … .”

The awakened Dokma sniffed like a ghost and opened his mouth with difficulty. Jang Yiseo nodded briefly and answered.

“That’s what happened.”

“Kuk… … . Luckily… … you’re still alive.”

If you just put on the lyrics, he looks like a famous monk, but his words are not very kind. After all, he is the leader of the Demonic Cult during its most vicious period. Where did his fierce spirit go?

“There is still a lot of work to be done.”

“Are you looking for a way to… cure…?”

“Yes. Can you teach me?”

“If you can’t find the answer yourself… … . you should die.”

The poisonous man declared harshly in his wrinkled, old voice.

At first glance, it sounds like a contemptuous remark. However, Jang Yi-seo already knew this from hearing it from Ma-ui.

There is no way to eliminate the poison unless you reach a certain level. That must be the true meaning of the poison.

‘Did you hear?’

And, as expected, the devil raised one corner of his mouth as if telling people to look at it.

“That’s right, Master. But wouldn’t it be different if that guy learned the Immortal Poison Magic Technique?”

Dokma nodded silently, and Yeophong opened his eyes wide as if he was going to die.

What does this mean now?

Mastering it? What? Even geniuses who fly and crawl give up on the Dokma Seongmyeongjeol?! Nonsense. To master it, you have to know ten thousand kinds of insects, fungi, and plants, and feel their energy.

This is a martial art that even the devil has given up on.

“Is that possible?!”

Finally, Yeop-hong, who had been standing there blankly, opened his mouth presumptuously.

One timely question can even forgive rudeness.

The magician spoke with eyes filled with joy.

“Kk, kk, it’s possible. Even the Heavenly Demon had his eyes on him.”

Boom! A bolt of lightning struck Yeop-hong’s head.

And the word Cheonma brought even the weakly lying Dokma back to his senses.

“Is that… … true?”

“Yes, that child will definitely be able to continue the Master’s progress. He may have limitations, but he is still a smart boy.”

The poisonous horse’s eyes scan the book with frightening intensity.

One’s own immortal poison magic is not a martial art that can be learned with words like cleverness.

Something that only those who are blessed by heaven can do.

The magician wouldn’t know that.

“What is your name?”

Dokma asks in a clearer voice. He said that he had told her the name before, but it wasn’t worth keeping in mind at the time.

“This is Jang Seo.”

This time he nods as if he remembered.

Shh …

Then he stares at me silently. But something feels strange. A chill runs down my spine as if a cold air is seeping out from somewhere.

Finally.

‘Huh?!’

His gaze was fixed on the white-eyed man wearing a long robe, and his entire body became stiff.

Soon, sweat poured down from my entire body like rain, my heart pounded uncontrollably, and soon I even had the illusion that ants were crawling into my head and gnawing at my skull.

‘Why on earth… … .’

Could it be that I’m addicted? No. I didn’t feel any aerodynamics at all. Then what is it?

I don’t know.

One thing was certain: Dokma was no longer a dying patient.

In the flesh that was so worn out that it would not be strange if it died at any moment, there was clearly a ferocious and evil poisonous dragon dwelling there.

‘If this continues, I might die!’

The moment when the fear of death slowly fills your body and ants begin to dig into your brain.

Woohoo!

In an instant, the yin-yang energy surged up and awakened the spirit. The upper stage of the yin-yang unity was the one that protected Jang Yi-seo.

Okay then.

“It’s useful… … .”

Shh …

With the calm voice of the poisonous horse, the oppressive feeling that had been weighing on my whole body disappeared, and warmth filled the cool air.

“Ugh… … . Gasp… … .”

Only then did Jang Yi-seo let out a harsh breath that he hadn’t even realized he had stopped.

dump!

Soon, I heard a noise behind me and turned around to see Yeop-hong unconscious and foaming at the mouth.

When I looked back in surprise, the demon smiled and said.

“Didn’t I tell you? He is a child worthy of following in his master’s footsteps. He has the mental strength to withstand a person with a broken spirit, so he will also be able to withstand the Immortal Poison Demon.”

A person with a bad spirit!

Jang Yi-seo doubted his ears.

Was it true that the shadow of death that he had just experienced was a supernatural ability that harmed those around him through will?

So that means… … .

‘The poisonous demon has already surpassed the peak and reached the realm of the ultimate demon!’

The state of having already transcended human limitations and reached the realm of the gods. The state of extreme demons or the realm of the gods, which is like the beginning.

It was a transcendent power that could be naturally expressed only by those who had reached at least that level.

A wall of a dimension that mere humans cannot dare to approach.

‘Is this the majesty of the poisonous horse… … .’

Jang Yi-seo swallowed his sigh inwardly.

I thought that the Dokma would naturally be strong, but I never thought that it would be a being that reached the highest level.

If he himself had not reached the stage of yin-yang unity, he would probably have been in the same situation as Yeop-hong.

Shadows naturally appear on your face, and tension spreads throughout your body.

And Ma-ui glanced at the book and smiled.

‘Kkeu keu, by now you should know well enough. What a great opportunity it is to become a Doksan footnote.’

It was far from the devil’s nature to procrastinate on something that had already been decided. If he was going to do something, he did it quickly.

Also, this wasn’t something that could be done on one’s own.

Yang Dae-heon, the Dokma who can look down on everyone except Cheonma.

He had to choose Jang-seo, so he made a decision and arranged a meeting right away.

And the result is.

“I will teach you the art of immortal poison.”

It happened! Joy filled the magician’s eyes.

Dokma chose Jang Yiseo. It was because he knew that Jang Yiseo was a diamond that would shine brightly at any time. He was very happy that his choice was acknowledged.

Jang Seo will definitely not be able to refuse this time.

It’s none other than the legendary Dokma. Even the Seven Princes can’t be superior to him. The moment you refuse, the spirit merchant will activate and you could die right away.

“What are you doing?! Why aren’t you answering?”

When the magician scolded and urged him on, Jang-i opened his mouth with a deep expression.

“I know it may be presumptuous of me to ask you something before you answer.”

Hey, that damn bastard! The magician was taken aback by the arrogant answer.

Dokma’s white eyebrows and wrinkles also twitched.

He said he didn’t want to do it. That’s natural. If he, the Dokma, had dared to give it to me, I would have bowed down deeply and bowed down, but now he’s asking me a question.

“How dare you say such presumptuous things about safety!”

The magician stepped forward, shouting. But Jang Yi-seo had no intention of backing down quietly.

‘I know now that I’ve met him. The poison is no less than the magic. If I accept now, I’ll have to bury his bones in Chammadoong until he dies.’

That can’t be. He soon became silent with a stern expression.

The magician’s heart melted in frustration.

‘What are you asking me now? Don’t you understand? You have no other choice than to accept it or die. And yet you’re trying to displease your Master… … You’re crazy, you’re crazy!’

The Dokma Yang Dae-heon that he knew was a being that looked down on the entire world and was absolutely not a merciful person.

He was the kind of person who would cut off any relationship with anyone who went against his wishes even a little bit.

But what a question!

Ma-ui internally stomped her feet and watched Dok-ma’s expression.

Then he answered softly with a cool expression on his face.

“Ask.”

The energy that weighs down on your whole body. That means you’re that angry.

But it was a blessing in disguise.

Anyway, didn’t Dokma give you one more chance?

‘Please don’t test the Master’s patience any longer.’

The demon swallowed hard and looked down at the book. How much stronger can you become? How much longer can you stay in Doksan Pavilion? He hoped that it wasn’t just such trivial and useless questions.

But.

“Gwangyi Gongsonjeol. What kind of person is that to Dokma?”

“… … !”

Ma-ui was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t close his mouth. It was such an absurd question. Why was Gwang-ui suddenly coming out? At a time when his life was at stake.

It was indeed a stinging question.

“Gongsunjeol… … .”

When I see Dokma’s voice trembling like this.

The pure white eyes contained emptiness. Seeing this, Ma-ui also became filled with confusion. And Dok-ma said this.

“Death is as easy as anything else.”

Even if you kill them ten thousand times, it is still a small price to pay.

It’s said that they are mortal enemies who cannot be satisfied even if they are killed.

also.

Jang Yi-seo nodded and threw a stone into the still lake.

“Then, if I don’t make progress… … and if Gwang-ui is alive. Then, the Seongmyeongjeol that Dok-ma has spent his whole life cultivating will become his, his enemy’s.”

“… … !”

A very large stone that can create waves as big as a house.

The white eyes of the poisonous demon grew as if they were going to burst, and the demon’s spirit froze like ice.

And Jang-seo laughed inwardly.

‘As expected. The reason why Ma-ui pushed forward so hastily. And the reason why he came to Chilso Palace in person to find Gwang-ui. That’s because the one who took over Dok-ma’s progress absolutely cannot be Gwang-ui.’

It was not common, but it was quite expected.

Even in the Jeongpa sect, when a disciple committed a mistake and was excommunicated, it was customary to cut the tendons of his hands and feet and close his dantian.

But the enemy, Gwangyi, unleashed the immortal poison. The poisonous spirit that even Ma-ui could not master.

What does this mean?

‘He is the one and only successor to the Dokma in the world.’

And there is an arch-enemy that I absolutely do not want to admit.

The magician, who came to his senses late, blushed and scolded.

“What does that have to do with you!”

Why doesn’t it matter? It does matter. Now it’s not just me who’s feeling sorry.

To me, it is life, but to them, it is the honor of Dokma and Doksan-gak. They know better what is heavier when placed on a scale.

Jang-seo stood up, dusting off his knees.

Negotiations begin now.
