Chapter 289 – 289. The Hunter and the Game

When I met the heads of the Reverse Heaven, I had to decide what to do first.

“I enjoyed hearing the story of defeating that high-nosed yellow dragon-“
“First bread victory!”

Blowing the first bread right away.

“What…?!”

He spurred his seat like a beam of light and punched the emperor in front of everyone. Fear was overflowing, but did he judge the magnificent energy in his fist to be more threatening?
At first, he was embarrassed by the fists rushing at him, but he only frowned.

While being in the position of an emperor who was escorted and protected by others for the rest of his life.
As if they were accustomed to fighting, silvery liquid gushed out and blocked the path according to the skillful movement of their hands. It was mercury.

‘There was a story that a large amount of mercury was collected when researching immortality. Have you learned qigong techniques to deal with mercury?’

As I deal with fire, Emperor Shi Huangdi dealt with mercury.

It was improvised, but the mercury wall, which had a defensive power that could not be ignored, was far from being able to see through with my pure eyes. That’s why it raises Hwaan-Geumjeong and aims for a gap in the structure that forms the wall of mercury.

Chiyi. Perong!

Kwon Hwa melts mercury to reduce its thickness, and Kwon, who came out, breaks down the wall and heads for Emperor Shi Huang with a bewildered expression on the other side.

“My mercury melts? …Kwok!”

As if seeing something incomprehensible, he punches the face of the distraught Shi Huang-je with his fist. Perhaps because he was hit by an unexpected blow in a defenseless state, Shi Huang-je, who was hit without shock, crosses the thick forest and gets away from sight at once.

Almost simultaneously, right after Shi Huangdi flew away, the four masters of the Golden Guard, who rushed at me, all spread grass for vital points.

One is Hyeon-gyeong, and the third is Hwa-gyeong.
The combined effort and well-refined sword steel aiming at the vital points seemed to be enough to pierce the Vajra Buddha.

But was that a mistake? My body reacts on its own before I even recognize it because it is so blatant that I can kill it with one stroke by breaking through the diamond.

I bent my neck to the side so that it was at a right angle to avoid the window of the Hyungyeong.
The attack of the other three was caught with a gungondaenai and forced to twist and stab each other.

However, he had no choice but to step back as he clicked his tongue at the splendid spearmanship that unfolded one after another. In my mind, I wanted to chase after the Emperor Shi Huang, who had flown far away, but it was hard to think that the master of the life and death world would be fatally injured just because he was hit with a single blow from his fist.
If it was a fatal wound, I would have pursued it even if it took damage, but if it wasn’t, I had to calmly go through the fight.

“Listen up everyone! I’m going to kill Shi Huangdi here!”
“Is this too sudden?!”

Seo Jinyi sprayed her poison smoke and screamed at her, but she couldn’t help it.

He had already revealed that I was the Celestial Killer in Hye-Kwang Sim language. The Celestial Celestial has been a public enemy to the point that the inviolability of official duties has become meaningless for generations, and because of that, it has been subjugated every time.
Even if it was Murim, I had always wondered why even the government forces protecting the imperial family and civilians were so aggressive in subjugating them, so I investigated it.

‘It was said that Emperor Shi Huang, who lives forever, is one of the heads of the Rekcheonhoe. I’m trying to nip the buds before the rival of Zami Saint Lu Dongbin appears!’

Excluding cases where I didn’t know for a long time that I was a celestial saint because I learned martial arts late, like me before returning, it was clear from the fact that all the previous celestial saints that appeared in history were subjugated.

“Above. Leave this place to us and go.”
“There are a lot of numbers. Will it be okay?”
“Huh. I don’t think there’s any need to worry about us. Because-“

Coo coo coo.

– Aaaaang!

Baekryong began to run amok through the enemy’s camp,

Swoop.

“Kuaaaaa! Poison, poison…!”
“Flesh… The flesh melts!!”

As the bloody fog spread, the gold chairs that touched it melted and died, and quickly began to be cleaned up.

The twins’ cooperation and Seo Jini’s poison instantly created a crack in the formation of the imperial army. A grinning Hwa-yeon throws herself there and, unlike her words and actions just before, bursts the gold stomach with her fists and kicks, like crushing tofu.
It seemed like there was no need to worry about those four.

“I’ll leave it here.”

Without listening to the answer, he immediately moves to the place where he can feel the existence of Shi Huangdi. Geumuiwi tries to stop him, but Baekryong stops him by emitting a breath of ice properties.

Trusting them, I moved to Shi Huangdi without looking back.

“Oh my God. Why did you come now? Didn’t you waste your time. You know how expensive Jim’s time is?”

Sitting on a rock that was neatly cut and processed like a throne, Shi Huangdi was gazing at us with slim eyes. While looking for gaps in real time with Hwaan Gold Pavilion, questions come to mind.

‘There is no wound.’

Even if it wasn’t an internal injury, it was definitely a hit to the face. He might not know if he was a monster, but if he was a human, he couldn’t recover this quickly.

–Or was it an injury that would not be treated as an injury?.

‘Should I say that the mercury monster I saw in the future and now have the same appearance and abilities?’

The reason I asked Huanglong for information about Reverse Heaven was because I was curious about the identity of the Three Thrones. Although I fought with them several times and gathered information, I couldn’t possibly know the identity of the Three Thrones before their abilities or powers.

Lu Dong-bin, a member of the throne, is a swordsman who wants to eliminate the irrationality of human society by creating a reversal and turning all humans into monsters.
Lee Jwa-in Hwangryong wanted revenge as the king of the monsters who gave birth to the Four Gods and the Four Beasts.
However, the identity of the Three Seats was unknown.

The guy whose entire body is made of mercury and recovers without any problems even when attacked with air power is the leader of the new monster army that betrayed humanity and was reborn as a monster.
At that time, I wondered how a guy like that came out of nowhere.

‘But I didn’t know he was an emperor. He wasn’t human from the start, so how could he have guessed?’

It was only after hearing from Hwangryong that I felt sorry for him. I heard that Emperor Shi Huang had a long time ago, in order to obtain eternal life, he went on a journey to collect mercury while searching for the herb of immortality.
If you were dealing with a large amount of mercury, you should have thought of Shih Huangdi, but he was a monster that deviated from humans, so it was a distance that could not be found even in old books.

So after returning, I was seriously thinking about how I couldn’t temper this guy before the war.

“Hmm? You’re speechless. Or, did you think you could injure Jim’s jade body? Haha! How could even a Celestial Killer do such a thing without a prayer?”

Even after knowing that he was Shih Huangdi, he seriously agonized over how he could infiltrate the imperial family and kill him through assassination.

“Hey.”
“Yes?”

Thankfully, the guy came out on his own like this in front of me.

“The emperor is said to have a solemn aura. He talks a lot. Did he even get nervous because he was a dick?”
“…”

Not knowing that I am his nemesis.

***

“Are you nervous because you’re fucking rice?”
“…”

Shi Huang-je was dumbfounded for a moment at the words and actions of a street gangster.

‘He’s a strange guy.’

For Shi Huangdi, Baekun was a celestial killer close to a mutant. It was incomprehensible to him that an immature mammal less than half a century old had reached the stage of life and death.
Even he was in a life-or-death situation in the process of calming the war and unifying the central plains.

But how the hell did a guy with the karma of a heavenly killer come to a life-or-death situation?

He himself is to erode the protracted war.
As Zami-seong, Lu Dong-bin is to prevent the fate of human casualties, for which even the word “Living” Would not be enough.

He was recognized as the guardian of the world in each era and was on the verge of life or death.

Therefore, it was not strange that Baekwoon was chosen as the guardian of the new world of this era. It was only in the eyes of Shi Huang-je that he had risen to the prefectural police from the edge of the contract, but he felt grotesque that a lump of blood too young had risen to the point of life or death.
Maybe, the immortals in the fairy world are crazy. He couldn’t get rid of that thought.

‘It’s strange that a boy in heat who had a child with his teacher and mixed his body with his mother-in-law became a life-or-death situation.’

… I had good reasons for being so suspicious. If he had heard Baekwoon, he would have been sincerely unfair.

“Young Celestial Star. Wouldn’t you like to have a brief Q&A with Jim?”
“Hmm?”
“Honestly, I’m not omitting a fight, but I should be curious about one or two things. I don’t think you have any questions about Jim either. Like-.”

The corner of Shi Huangdi’s mouth drew an arc that would make her woman’s heart beat.

“The reason Jim is in Reverse Heaven or something.”

It was the emperor who spoke triumphantly with an expression that he would not be able to cope without asking because he was curious.

“It…”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t your whole body becoming mercury, so you’re cooperating because you want to have a body again?”
“…”

Baekwoon somehow felt sorry for Shi Huangdi.
Just as long as your fingernails.
