Chapter 82: The Death of the Masked Man
After the Baekje King's guards were killed by the Masked Man, Princess Jinhwa was worried about the retribution from the Baekje King, but the whole cottage seemed to think that it was an inconsequential matter, and then after another two days, the Baekje King did not make any new moves, and she gradually became relieved.
The masked man said to her, "I estimate that Her Royal Highness will stay with me for about half a year, and then I can send you back to Silla." β
"Really? Can I still go back to Silla? The princess was clearly not convinced.
"Of course it's true," the masked man replied, "The princess is of no use to me, as long as Tang Guo gives up his plan to make peace with the princess, the princess can go back." And Tang Guo has been waiting for a long time, and giving up is inevitable. β
Princess Jinhua said, "So you mean that I can return to Silla without marrying into the Tang Kingdom?" β
"As long as you still have the opportunity to marry into the Tang Kingdom, you can't leave me, and your departure from me means that your trip to the Tang Kingdom is canceled."
When Princess Jinhua heard this, she sincerely saluted the masked man and thanked the other party for taking care of her.
Under house arrest, she was almost not restricted in her freedom of movement except that she could not leave the cottage, and she could walk around the cottage at will, and at the same time she also learned many secrets of the mask man after he came to this cottage, for a princess who rarely got out of the deep boudoir, these were strange things, which made her listen to them with relish, and even forgot that she was a hostage under house arrest.
On this day, while she was wandering around the guards behind the mountain, she suddenly heard a bell ringing in front of her, "What happened?" β
"It's the bell, which means that a friend of the adult is coming. Don't worry, Your Royal Highness the beautiful princess, if it's the Baekje King's centaurs, the drums will be beaten. However, since the boss's friend is here, don't rush back and wait for the boss's call. β
The two chatted for a while, and a vision suddenly appeared on the mountain, and the guard's eyes suddenly widened, "Sword Qi!" How could it be sword qi! Isn't it the boss's friend who came? Why did you fight? β
Princess Jinhua's heart sank, and she hurriedly ran to the mountain.
Of course, the person who came was Park Kwang-tae, and the masked man was quite surprised by his arrival, but since he was a junior brother, of course he was still very kind, "It turned out that Kwang-tae came?" If you don't practice inside the door, why do you want to come to me? β
"Senior brother," Park Kwang-tae looked stern, "I didn't know you were here, but I came here to be entrusted by others." β
"Delegate?" The masked man frowned, "It's those guys from Silla, right?" β
"Yes," Park Kwang-tae lowered his head, "Senior Brother knows that I am also from Silla, and when they knew that Her Royal Highness the Princess was taken away by Senior Brother, they found me in the door." I hope you will reconsider your position, as for the benefits given by the Baekje people, Silla will pay ten times the price. You also know that Tsukihime is also from Silla, and she thinks the same way as me. β
The masked man did not hesitate and immediately said, "Guangtai, this is not a matter of interests. I remember that I once taught you the Warrior's Creed, and you should remember the third. To be a man must have a beginning and an end, to be worthy of being a real warrior. β
"Well," Park Kwang-tae lowered his head, "Actually, I told them about the Warrior's Creed a long time ago, but they must have asked me to come here, after all, I am a countryman, and I can't refuse." But there is also a good thing about coming this time.,It's the bouquet of flowers that the senior brother gave to the moon last time.,The moon girl planted a new flower with flower seeds.,It's also very beautiful.,When I came, the moon girl had to bring me a bouquet to the big brother.γ β
Park Kwang-tae's mind showed the situation when he saw Yueji when he was leaving the Phantom Sword Gate, "Yuehime, I'm about to see Senior Brother, quickly take out the bouquet of Wuji flowers you prepared and let me take it." β
Yueji said happily, "That's great, how could Brother Guangtai suddenly want to see Senior Brother?" And it was such a coincidence that this flower had just bloomed for a long time. β
"That should have been arranged by God for Senior Brother and Tsukihime, right?" Park Kwang-tae said and examined the crystal clear bouquet of infinite flowers, which represented the love between the masked man and Wolhime.
When the masked man heard this, his body couldn't help but be shocked, he hadn't seen Tsukihime for more than two years, and Guangtai actually brought Tsukihime's token, could he not be excited? How beautiful that bouquet of infinite flowers was, he couldn't wait to get it in his hands. However..., his hand was pricked. At the same time, Park Kwang-tae drew his sword.
"Millennial Viper!" The masked man slowly turned around and gently put the blood-stained Wuji Flower aside, at this time his entire right hand was already blackened, and the thousand-year-old viper venom that Park Kwang-tae smeared on the silver needles hidden in the bouquet was the toxin he had refined hundreds of times in order to assassinate the imperial servant, which was much more powerful than the original thousand-year-old viper's venom. It's ironic that the venom of the snake that the masked man killed himself used on his own body. "So, Guangtai definitely won't let me heal the poison."
"Of course," said Park Kwang-tae resolutely, "I did this for one reason, and that is that the princess is my fiancΓ©e. β
The masked man glanced at the black line that kept rushing upward, and just secretly blocked it, and found that the effect was not great, "Senior brother, it's useless, unless you immediately sit down and use the strength of your whole body to expel the poison now, it can't be stopped, and when the toxin spreads over the shoulder and spreads to the whole body, even if you sit down to heal the poison, it's too late." You still agree to let me take the princess away, and I won't hinder you from healing the poison. β
"Since Guangtai knows that I am a person who does what he says, why should he persuade me like this. I see that before the poison gas rises in the shoulder, I can still send out ten moves, so I have to kill Guangtai within ten moves to cure the poison. When he said this, he said it lightly, but as soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere around him changed, and the thick murderous aura that emanated from him made Park Kwang-tae tremble.
"Senior brother, give up, now in this state you can only use your left hand, and you must suppress the spread of toxins, it is impossible to beat me."
The masked man didn't reply, he pulled out his right sword and still fell to the ground, and his left sword slashed straight at him. In Park Guangtai's eyes, that sword seems to weigh 10,000 catties, isn't his senior brother from the Phantom Sword Gate? How could there be such a murderous sword technique? "Ding Ding Ding" the first three swords, Park Kwang-tae defended quite well, but his heart was already panicked.
The masked man didn't seem to use much strength, and the three swords swung over, and Park Kwang-tae knew that the gap between himself and the other party was really not ordinarily big, although the three swords were also blocked, but he found that his hand could barely hold the sword. The Masked Man must fight quickly, otherwise, he himself will not be able to stop the attack of the toxin.
The next three swords, his strength did not relax at all, and when the two swords of the ninth sword touched, the sword in Park Kwang-tae's hand flew out. At the moment when he was stunned, the masked man's tenth sword had already stabbed him, and the target was his throat, and Park Kwang-tae felt that he could not avoid it, so he had to close his eyes and wait for death.
However, Park Kwang-tae seemed to have waited for a century, and the sword suddenly stopped when it stabbed him in the throat, "I underestimated Kwang-tae's poison skills and my ability to resist," the masked man said calmly, "Park Kwang-tae opened his eyes slightly, and saw that the black line had broken through the position of the other party's shoulder and spread all over his body, but this did not seem to affect the masked man to kill himself."
"I didn't kill Guangtai because I still want you to do something for me," the masked man knew the question in his heart, he put the sword in his left hand still on the ground, and took out a small box from his arms, "This box contains the reward for my mission, a thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus, which can remove the residual poison from Yueji's body, can you help me bring it back?" The Masked Man was slow to say this, and he didn't try to block the toxin anymore.
"What?! The thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus! Why don't you use it to detoxify yourself? "Park Kwang-tae knew that although the poison he had configured was powerful, it was completely useless in the face of such a holy medicine. But by this time, the masked man's hand had softened, and there was no sound anymore.
"Because it may be the last thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus in the world." A trembling voice came from behind him.
(Park Kwang-tae came to the masked man with a mission, worried that his martial arts were not enough, so he first put the poison needle in Wolhime's unequaled flower and poisoned the masked man.) But he is still not an opponent, and seeing that he is about to die under the sword, the masked man suddenly withdrew and asked him to bring the thousand-year-old snow lotus back to Yuehime, as for why he didn't use it himself, he could only wait for the people behind him to answer. οΌ
