The instant he sensed a cold blade drawing near his body, Namgung Su instinctively twisted to the side and swung his sword. His slash, however, struck nothing but empty air as the Erudite Sage let go of the dagger and sprang backward.
Smirking, the Erudite Sage stared at the dagger half buried in Namgung Su's flank. "Oho? I aimed for your heart, but you managed to dodge a fatal blow at such a short distance. The rumors that you're the weakest of the Namgung Patriarch's three sons seem to be false."
"…Were you an enemy spy all along?" Namgung Su asked, his expression calm despite the situation. Stopping the bleeding by sealing his own acupoints, he pulled out the dagger. Fortunately, the wound wasn't as deep as he initially feared, but a problem remained.
The dagger's coated with a deadly poison…
Namgung Su's lips turned blue, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his limbs trembled uncontrollably, but still, he refused to show weakness. Summoning lightning qi, he suppressed the poison and cauterized the wound.
The Erudite Sage watched with genuine admiration. "What incredible willpower you have! Most martial artists would be brought to their knees after being subjected to such a potent poison."
"Mr. Namgung Su!"
"What's the meaning of this?"
