A Spy’s Demonic Life - Chapter 28
Only Krnovel
28.
A vacant lot surrounded by forest on all sides.
The person whom Ji Dae-ho had been waiting for so desperately like a girl was facing a great crisis.
[Heeheehee! Die!]
The 5th in the slaughterhouse hierarchy, Yodosun. It was because of his attack.
The arrows he shot were on a different level from those shot by ordinary warriors. The tip was loaded with energy that could even break down a wall, and the rapid fire of five or six shots in a row was difficult to catch because the intervals were clever.
But what’s more problematic than that is…
“Jang I-seo-!”
The paralyzing poison had already spread, paralyzing both of his hands, and the poison and turbid internal energy were mixing inside his body, causing his insides to boil. To Jang Yiseo, the poison was like rat poison.
Papapapat!
Jang Yi-seo jumped to the side as arrows flew in. Six arrows passed by where he was standing and struck the abandoned house behind him.
And then another arrow flies.
Peeing!
This time, I barely managed to avoid it by rolling my body towards Naeryeotagon.
[Hehehehehe! How long do you think you can avoid it?]
It was as Yodosun said. If things continue like this, there is no chance of winning. I am literally on the verge of death.
but.
‘The speed at which the arrows flew. And if you look at the angle at which they landed, the bastard was shooting arrows from left to right. So this time… … .’
Why? Unlike Mao’s desperate cries and Yodosun’s confident smile, Zhang Yishu seemed rather lethargic, rather than relaxed.
This was an expression of complete confidence that he could burst the bug in his mouth and kill himself at any time.
And indeed, it was so.
『Thunderbolt Method』
Phage crackle!
The turbid energy that was barely able to pass through the narrow meridians transformed into a flash of lightning in an instant, and completed the Great Circulation before I could even blink.
If Mao is speed, Zhang Li is light itself.
Papapapat!
And then six arrows were fired one after another from the forest.
‘now!’
At the same time, Jang Seo-do jumped up from his seat and flew straight ahead like a ray of light.
Incredible speed and reflexes that can even dodge arrows.
And then flash.
“Ugh?!”
With a lightning-like movement, he appeared in front of Yodusun, who was preparing the next arrow in the forest.
puck!
“Remember!”
His scream became a last will and testament as Jang-seo spun around like a top and flew away. It was definitely a blow to the chest, but he was hit once in the nose, Adam’s apple, collarbone, pubic bone, upper abdomen, lower abdomen, and scrotum. A total of seven places were sunken in and he was thrown into the tree and died instantly.
When unfolded with impure internal energy, it may not seem like much, but it contains the essence of the Seven Legged Great Monk Daegwang, a senior member of the Murim Alliance and the best in the leg and foot technique in the Jeongpa.
“Become a Buddha.”
Jang Yi-seo left a brief greeting and turned away.
Pass.
As soon as the brain power was lifted, the turbid energy from the brain returned and stirred up the meridians. It was strange that he was normal since he was already fierce and now he was infused with poison.
“shit.”
I turned around with a shaky body and took a step forward.
and.
“Jang I-seo-!”
As I looked at Mao running towards me, my eyes widened and I fell onto his shoulder.
“Hey, Jang-seo! You, you crazy! Congressman. Let’s go to the Congressman!”
Mao, who had wrapped Zhang Li around his shoulders, quickly flew away. Even at first glance, his expression was obviously dead, which was unusual.
But.
“To Cheonmajeon… … .”
Zhang Yishu spoke in a scratchy voice from over his shoulder. Mao frowned at this.
“You crazy bastard. You’ve just been hit by two arrows. Your face is already a corpse. Do you understand? If you don’t go to the doctor, you’re going to end up in a coffin.”
“Go to Cheonmajeon… ….”
“Shut up! I’m using informal language. And I’ll do whatever I want.”
“hurry…….”
“hey!”
It’s noisy. Jang I-seo took a few deep breaths and let out an annoyed voice.
“I know my body well. When I wake up… … . Then it’s okay… … . Let’s go. To Cheonmajeon.”
“This crazy kid… … .”
Mao’s lips trembled. What kind of wealth and honor does he want to enjoy by doing this? Is he really trying to make himself a cult leader? I don’t know. This guy is just crazy.
but.
Mao’s pupils shook.
Has anyone ever been this sincere to me? No, no. No one has ever tried to do anything with me.
All they did was try to harm me, ignore me, or just look at me.
But Jang-seo… … .
Mao closed his eyes tightly, then opened them and said.
“Don’t regret it.”
I quickly start walking again. My destination is Cheonmajeon.
“Just try dying. I’ll bury your body at the intersection, put up a gravestone, and make it a sanctuary where the neighborhood dogs can take turns urinating. Even after you’re dead, I’ll make your body stink. I’ll make King Yeomra cover his nose when he sees you. Do you understand?”
“Ugh.”
“Are you laughing? It’s not like I’m joking. I’m Maoya, the loser of Wolha Village. If you want, do it.”
Jang Yiseo burst into laughter. Yes. You would do it and still have more. I have to survive even if it means not seeing that sight.
First of all… … .
Just take a deep breath and talk.
Jang Yi-seo’s eyelids drooped and darkness fell upon him.
And Mao.
“Let’s go. To Cheonmajeon.”
I ran with all my might.

Meanwhile, Mao and Zhang Yishu disappeared, and only the lonely wind remained in the forest.
In front of the corpse of Yodosun, who had died in vain, a tall, masked man was standing with a bow slung over his shoulder.
“That little brat… … What on earth is his true identity?”
I looked at the corpse lying on the floor with eyes that seemed to say that I could not believe it. Then, with trembling hands, I took off the mask and covered the corpse’s face.
Then, two letters are revealed tattooed on the back of his neck.
To kill. To kill.
It’s a slaughterhouse. The assassin wasn’t just Yodosun.
But what was more surprising was his face.
“You idiot. To think you’d be defeated so easily. But don’t worry. I, Yodosun, will definitely take revenge on you.”
The same name as the corpse being carried around. And the same body type and the same face.
Yes, that’s right.
The 5th place in the slaughterhouse hierarchy was not just one person.
They were a duo of assassins disguised as two twins. That’s why the direction of the rapid fire shots and the direction of the arrows that flew in from the right could be completely different.
“Jang I-seo. I will definitely kill you with my own hands. Definitely.”
The ill-fated relationship with the slaughterhouse was deepening.

– Mahaesan Horyondang.
Time passed by and the sun gradually rose higher in the sky.
Now, there is only about half an hour left until the private meeting with the leader.
It was time for the main gate of Horongdang leading to Cheonmajeon to close.
“My lord, what should we do?”
The subordinate, who should have been preparing to close the door by now, asked cautiously. This was because Chilgongja had not yet arrived. Ji Daeho said firmly without taking his eyes off the street.
“Just wait a minute, just a minute. He’ll definitely come.”
Ji Dae-ho, who was getting anxious, even brought up the word “that guy” out of his mouth. His subordinates were startled, thinking that he was calling Chil-gong-ja “that guy,” but no way.
That was all he had on his mind.
‘Did I misjudge you? I thought you could definitely go further. Jang-seo… … .’
There is no basis for this, but Ji Dae-ho was convinced of it.
Jang Seo, that guy would definitely show unexpected moves. That’s why he would cause a miracle.
But the nose hasn’t even shown up yet…
For some reason, I swallow my saliva and a cold sweat runs down my hands.
“Are you really not attending?”
Was it a vain expectation? The road was still empty, and time passed quickly.
Before I knew it, half the time had passed and the chance for solitude had flown away.
It was something I couldn’t understand. Unless there was a reason I was permitted to do so, I had to come to the place where the leader called me.
This was no excuse whatsoever.
Disappointment filled him, and Ji Dae-ho finally turned around.
“Close it.”
His command is given, and his subordinates move in unison without mercy.
Squeak!
At that moment, everyone turned around and the door was closing.
“Sleep tight!”
As Ji Dae-ho’s eyes opened wide, his body spun around. Then, the corners of his mouth slowly rose to a smirk.
Here you go. Here you go!
They finally showed up.
In a way I never expected.
Mao runs up the hill, shouting.
And then there’s Jang Seo, carried like a corpse.
“Open the door-!”
A cry like the roar of a giant lake burst out.
* * *
When Jang Yi-seo came to his senses, the first thing he felt was a scent mixed with bitterness.
A pungent, spicy scent tickled my nose, and I groaned involuntarily.
“Umm… … .”
And then came the physical pain. Every time I moved my two arms that had been hit by arrows, a sharp pain surged through me, as if I was being burned.
As I raised my eyelids, the medicine applied to the wound on the hard muscle came into view.
“These guys have poison in them, so they smell bad, but I guarantee their effectiveness.”
Jang Yi-seo turned his head at the sound of a voice coming from beside him. Then, he saw a man with a sturdy appearance sitting on a chair and looking down at him.
Clever tiger.
This is Ji Dae-ho, the head of the Horongdang clan.
“The arrow has been stuck too deep for too long. It would be better to rest for a while… … .”
Jang-seo raised his upper body before he could even finish speaking. Then, even though it was difficult for him to raise his arms, he grabbed the lottery ticket.
But his expression remained calm without any change. Thanks to this, Ji Dae-ho, who was watching, frowned.
“… … You really don’t listen. Kkeuk, well. I guess all the proper guys at our school are like that.”
“You’re not late, are you?”
“The moment you open your eyes, you start worrying about your owner.”
“Because I have to pay for the meal.”
“Keulkeul, don’t worry. The Seven Princes went to Cheonmajeon earlier, so by now, the door should have been opened, or not. Something should have happened.”
Jang Yiseo nodded softly. That would be enough. It would have been nice if we could have gone together and met Cheonma, but this is enough.
“Is this… Horongdang?”
Jang Yi-seo belatedly looked around. In fact, he could easily guess without asking since the ceiling and walls were all painted with tiger patterns.
Ji Dae-ho also answered with a proud expression.
“To be exact, it is a temporary outpost in front of Cheonmajeon. I came all the way here because the Seven Princes insisted on taking you with them.”
“Is that so…?”
When Jang Yi-seo answered in surprise, Ji Dae-ho nodded.
“I never imagined that the Seven Princes would have someone by their side. When he lost his only friends, his eyes had already turned to the fact that he had given up everything. I’ve seen him a few times since then, but he was no different. But this time, he was sincere. It seems that he has given his heart to you deeply.”
Is that so? Jang Yi-seo lowered his head with an expressionless face without giving any particular answer. Should he be happy that he succeeded, or should he bite his lips in bitterness? Either way, it was not a pleasant thing to hear. After all, he was by his side as a spy.
“Apologize first.”
Jang Yiseo’s head rose again. An apple?
“I saw you while you were sleeping without your permission.”
“what…….”
“Your body, I mean.”
“My… … body?!”
Jang Yi-seo lowered his head and looked down at me, and his eyes widened in surprise.
