Genius Martial Arts Trainer

Chapter 245:

Five Poison Sect

A member of the Jeomchang Sect elder was about to shout something.

“Do you savages even know who we are? How dare you! Bring down those thunderous monks of Shaolin immediately...”

However, he had chosen the wrong opponent.

“Wuraurauraura!!!”

As soon as his words became a bit lengthy, the Beast Palace Master began swinging his fists.

“You damn barbarian!!”

The Jeomchang Sect elder, with veins bulging on his forehead, tried to block the Beast Palace Master’s assault.

“Ugh...”

But he was repeatedly pushed back by the Beast Palace Master’s relentless strikes.

“Help the elder!”

“Kill those filthy savages!!!”

Finally, the swordsmen of the Jeomchang Sect belatedly rushed towards the Beast Palace Master.

“Kill them!!!”

“Kiiiaaa!!!”

Likewise, the warriors of the Beast Palace, their eyes filled with madness, charged towards their enemies.

Of course, their madness wasn’t exclusively directed at the Jeomchang Sect.

The poison masters of Odogmun and the martial artists of Shinchun were also their targets.

“Let’s go too.”

“Yes, sir!”

Following suit, Ou-yang Pae and the Red Tiger Group also began to move.

“It’s time to unleash divine punishment!”

“For the Palace Master!!”

The warriors of Taiyang Palace, like fanatics, also rushed forward.

It was the start of a chaotic brawl.

With various factions gathered and fighting, there was no proper strategy or organized movement.

The only relief was that the distinct uniforms of each faction prevented too many friendly fire incidents.

In the chaos of the battle, it was common for attacks aimed at the enemy to inadvertently hit allies.

And in this brawl, the most specialized individual was, without a doubt, Mu-jin.

“Hyaah!”

Moving with the Golden Turtle Technique, Mu-jin was a slaughtering machine.

When an opponent managed to block his sword strike?

He would break the sword and smash their head in.

It didn’t matter if the weapon was a sword, saber, or spear; the result was the same.

Martial artists using the Bone-Crushing Technique looked even more pitiful.

“Aaagh.”

A man’s leg, twisted at a bizarre angle after clashing with Mu-jin, fell to the ground screaming.

In such a large-scale battle, the greatest danger wasn’t the enemy.

Clang!

It was the fragments of broken weapons flying through the air.

“Hup?”

Or attacks from allies mistakenly coming from behind.

Clang!

But for Mu-jin, who had mastered the Golden Turtle Technique and hardened his skin with the Jade Vajra Technique, such things were meaningless.

Unless the attack was at the level of a strong qi, it couldn’t even scratch Mu-jin.

Mu-jin’s fighting style was almost absurd.

He fought not like a martial artist from a wuxia novel but like a knight in full plate armor from medieval Western times.

However, even knights had weaknesses.

“Capture him!”

“Restrain him and attack!”

To stop the rampaging Mu-jin, opponents tried to grab his limbs and sides instead of swinging their weapons.

But they had overlooked several things.

Mu-jin wasn’t heavily armored and slow, and more importantly...

“Raaaah!!!”

It was impossible to stop Mu-jin’s monstrous strength with just a few people clinging to him.

Mu-jin lifted the men clinging to his arms and body as if they were sandbags and swung them around.

“Aaahhh!!”

Those who couldn’t withstand his strength were flung around like laundry in a strong wind.

Those flung into the air crashed into nearby enemies and fell to the ground.

After swiftly clearing the area, Mu-jin scanned the battlefield.

‘The Beast Palace Master is still rampaging.’

And Mu-jin had sent Mu-gung and Mu-yul instead of coming himself, believing they were sufficient.

Mu-gung and Mu-yul lived up to his expectations.

“Yip!”

“Poison is dangerous!”

Mu-yul, crawling on all fours like a wolf, rapidly approached the nearest Odogmun man and swung his fist like a wolf’s claw.

The poison master barely blocked the attack.

Or so he thought.

“Ugh...”

Hidden in Mu-yul’s shadow, Ling-ling’s upward punch hit his groin.

“Be careful not to break the vial!”

As the man fell, Tang So-mi shouted urgently. Mu-yul twisted his body unnaturally, like in Drunken Fist, and gently placed the man on the ground as if caring for a patient.

It was like giving both the disease and the cure.

Meanwhile, Mu-gung unleashed the Tathagata Palm at full power against another poison master.

The poison master responded with a poison attack, but their skill levels were vastly different.

Sizzle.

The sound of poison burning echoed, and the poison master’s face turned red as he knelt, sp

itting blood.

The remaining poison masters tried to counterattack, but the Tang Clan’s poison masters were not idle either.

All of them were seasoned experts, having dedicated at least forty years to poison techniques.

Their battles were peculiar.

“Cough...”

Exchanging blows that seemed like gentle caresses, one Odogmun poison master began to vomit blood.

“Heeek! Aaaah!”

Another one, shivering as if with a fever, scratched himself madly.

“Hmm.”

“Interesting poison.”

The Tang Clan poison masters, who had fought them, observed their growing rashes and black spots with interest.

It was a contest of whose poison was more unique and potent.

The result was a complete defeat for Odogmun.

In the meantime, Mu-yul and Mu-gung took down one more poison master each.

Seeing his subordinates falling one by one, the vice master struggled to stay composed.

‘How did it come to this?’

It might have been a defeat born of arrogance.

They hadn’t expected the Beast Palace to have poison experts comparable to themselves.

But they couldn’t just stand there and do nothing.

With eight of the twelve subordinates falling in an instant, the vice master urgently shouted.

“Release the poison!”

Even though it was a dangerous poison to which they were not immune, requiring careful preparation, they had no time for that now.

The vice master himself hurriedly tried to open the leather pouch he carried, but...

Thud.

“!?”

For some reason, he couldn’t move.

“What is this!?”

He saw that his subordinates, who were also about to release the poison, were frozen like stones.

“Phew. That was close.”

A shadowy figure emerged from behind the puzzled vice master.

It was Mu-gyeong.

Using Shadow Technique and Ghost Steps, he had stealthily approached them in case of emergency.

From the moment the battle began, he had been secretly closing in on them.

As they tried to release the poison, he had used Golden Rain Technique and Bullet Finger Technique to simultaneously neutralize the remaining five.

“Well done, Monk Mu-gyeong! You could be an assassin!”

Praising his skill, Tang So-mi clapped her hands with joy, to which Mu-gyeong responded with a bewildered expression.

“Is that a compliment?”

Though he had chosen to walk the path of an Asura, he wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for a monk to receive such praise.

Regardless of Mu-gyeong’s thoughts, Tang So-mi approached the immobilized enemies with a look of a child who had found a treasure.

‘If they were going to release it here, it must be one of Odogmun’s deadliest poisons.’

She had obtained extremely valuable loot.

“Hehehe. Quite a useful trophy, isn’t it?”

Her sly smile was echoed by the Tang Clan poison masters, who also smiled with satisfaction.

“All this is for the glory of the Tang Clan, young lady.”

“Researching the poisons of the southern region will allow our Tang Clan’s poisons to advance even further. Hahaha.”
