Devastating The Murim with My Little Sister
Chapter 57: Bandits X Dead

Chapter 57: Bandits X Dead

P.O.V. - David.

"Ok then, continue." The Patriarch says.

"As I said, from what I could sense, there is no other person around us, aside from those in the front." I say to them all.

"I believe that for any other clan this might pose a certain level of difficulty but for the Dang Clan who deals in long range and poison attacks, I don’t think you should find this difficult." I say more.

"Yes but as you might know, most of techniques are lethal and we can’t just go around killing everyone we come across, we wouldn’t be any different from those of the Unorthodox Faction if we did that." The Patriach says.

Huh? but you guys were more notorious in the aspect of killing those who offended you way more than those of the Unorthodox Faction, the only thing that made you different was that you don’t go looking for trouble.

I see the Patriarch of the Dang Clan has gone soft.

"But isn’t that originally how we were? isn’t that what brought fear and respect to the Tang Clan?" Dang So says throwing in questions.

Ohhh? she also knows how to speak in such matters? that is really cool.

I heave a sigh and then said;

"Think of it this way Patriarch, the flag of the Dang Clan is risen high on the carriage, high enough for them to see it and yet, they still dare try to rob us, that just shows how little these bandits see the Dang Clan, I can say for certain that this sort of mountain bandits wouldn’t even think of stopping the Namgoong Clan, or the Jeagals or even the Ximens of the Unorthodox."

As I say this, no one says anything further, it seems like I struck a cord.

"Second Elder, if we use the verax poison fog, how long would you be able to fight in it without being affected?". The Patriarch asks the Second Elder.

"About three minutes Patriarch." The Second Elder responds.

"That should be enough." The Patriach says as he turns to Dang So.

"Dang So, you are not pro efficient enough in the needle throwing technique and we do not know to what level your constitution has granted you immunity to poison so you should stay back with a few of the guards." The Patriarch says.

Constitution? Poison Immunity? What are they talking about?

"My poison immunity is pretty high." Dang So says.

"We are not taking risks!" The Patriarch firmly says.

Dang So glares at him for a while and then takes her eyes off.

"Yes Patriarch." Dang So says.

"Thank you." The Patriarch replies.

The Patriach turns to the guard who was standing beside them.

"Get your colleagues who are proficient in the needle throwing technique, we are gonna have a blood bath, that is if there is any blood to bath in." The Patriarch tells the guard.

Now that sounds more like a Dang Patriarch.

"Yes Patriarch!" The guards responds and runs to do as he was told.

"Let us go Second Elder." The Patriarch says.

The Second Elder places his hands in his garment and pulls out a kind of metal gloves with sharp fingers.

He puts it on and the dorsal surface of his hand is entirely covered by the gloves but his palm remains exposed.

The metal gloves had a wrapping around his wrist and little wrappings around each joints of his fingers.

The end of the gloves at the finger tips were sharp resembling claws.

After putting it on, he nd the Patriarch began to walk towards the bandits.

Some of the guards followed while the rest stood back.

The Patriarch pulled out a little pouch out of his storage ring, held it in his hand and then threw it towards the bandits.

As soon as he throws it, he takes out a needles and when the pouch was right above the bandits he threw the needle bursting the pouch and out of it fell clouds of poison.

The bandits began to scurry out but the Second Elder attacked them.

The poison cloud got bigger and bigger until it occupied the whole path where the bandits were and even into the trees.

From outside, the Patriarch and the guards precisely threw needles at their opponents, aiming for their necks and heads.

While the Second Elder inside the fog was scratching and ripping away at the bandits.

One by one the bandits began to drop dead.

After about two minutes of needle throwing, groaning and screaming, everywhere quiets down.

The Second Elder magestically walks out of the fog unharmed.

Now that is the Tang Family I know.

I began to clap and everyone turns to look at me weirdly.

"What? I just enjoyed the show." I said to them.

The Second Elder began to cough and The Patriach went over to him and assisted him towards the carriage.

He was made to seat at the base of the Cart and the Patriach fed him a detoxifier.

We had to wait for a while for The Second Elder to recuperate and for the poisonous fog to disperse.

While waiting, I went to meet Dang So who was standing by a tree.

P.O.V - Diana.

After the whole mess I went to stand by a tree waiting for the Poison Fog to disperse.

While standing Namgoong Yeong began approaching me.

"What does this kid want this time?" I ask myself.

He came over and leaned on a tree right next to the one I was leaning on.

"So, are you like the Young Mistress of the Dang Clan?" He asks me.

Hmmm....

"No, I’m not."I reply without giving him a glance.

"Ohhh? thats surprising, I thought that would most likely have been your position, so what are you, like within the Clan?" He asks again.

"Nothing really, I’m just an illegitimate child of the Patriarch like you." I say to him.

"Ohh really? You must have some serious talent then." He says.

"Yes, something like that." I reply.

"Does it have something to do with the constitution I heard about?" He asks me.

I turn and give him a hard glare.

I mean, I personally don’t care but it’s improper to ask such questions, oh wait, he’s just a kid, I forgot.

I smack my face as I heave a sigh.

"You know you shouldn’t be asking such questions right?" I say to him with a smile.

"Ohhh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to inconvenience you." He says.

I giggle a little.

He reminds me of David.

David always asked questions plainly.

"He had no filter." I said to myself as I giggle a little.

"Are you, ok?" He asks with a look of concern.

"Oh, yes don’t mind me." I say still smiling.

I look at him for a while still with that smile.

"Can you keep a secret?" I ask him.

"Ohhh, ummm, I don’t think you should be telling secrets to a stranger just like that." He says to me.

"Oh? is this little boy also giving me advice right now?" I thought to myself.

I smile at him.

"Well, with the little we’ve been through together, I don’t think it’s fair to say we are strangers don’t you think?. I say to him as I pat his left shoulder.

"Still, I don’t think you should..."

"Can you just shut up and listen?" I say with an annoyed tone cutting him off.

"Ohhh, ok." He says in response.

"Thank you." I say with a smile..

"Well, about the constitution, I have a constitution known as the Poison Unity Body." As I say this, he shows a hint of surprise but I could tell it was fake since I could also tell he has no idea what that is.

"The Poison Unity Body is a constitution, only ever had by one person in the entire history of the Murim, the Founding Father of The Tang Clan." I state.

"It is a constitution where one ultimately becomes poison, meaning, the blood and Ki of the individual becomes poison and if not controlled, even the sweat, urine, tears and any other bodily fluids would also become poisonous.

This constitution also ultimately grants the bearer immunity to all poisons, though it is recorded that it is a gradual process."

By the time I had finished speaking, I could tell from his expression that he was truly shocked.

"Woaahhh, that is awesome, that means you are like a living disaster, wow that is cool." He says with an excited tone.

Just the right expression David would have given.

He found stuff like this really fascinating.

I smile at his reaction.

"So, like you could like kill a person just by touching them?" He asks excitedly.

That’s a strange question for a kid to ask right off the bat but I guess this is the Murim after all.

"Well, yes, if my Ki can get into their bodies." I say.

"So be careful, who knows, maybe I could..." I say as I stretch my right hand towards him trying to scare him but this kid doesn’t budge.

He just stood there smiling.

"What a weird kid." I thought to myself.

"Ok, we are moving." Dang Woon says calling out to us.

We left the trees and headed towards the carriage.
