"This cat couldn’t possibly survive this right?"
But this cat had no fear on his face, he looked emotionless, only emitting a strong killing intent, this killing intent so strong that only Martial Masters could possibly move under it.
I had just entered the realm of a late Peak Martial artist at that time so all I could do was stand still and watch.
The fight was so bloody, he ended his foes in such a gruesome yet artistic way.
Yes, he truly was death himself.
Of course facing so many Masters and a Grand Master of no other clan but the Tang Clan he was not unscathed.
He killed everyone, the Grand Elder was the only one left.
But he too had lost both arms, on his knees right in front of Da... no right in front of Sangdaejong, his pulse dropped and dropped within five second until he eventually died.
Sangdaejong bleeding all over, his body infested with poison, he began walking, coming closer to me.
I couldn’t move, this is it for me, closer and closer, each step he took made my heart rate spike.
But he just passed me slowly saying:
’I’ll spare your other two branches, because of you’ He vanished immediately after saying that.
I immediately drop to floor, my legs greatly trembling.
Was that the same human I shared drinks with eight years ago?
Was he even still human?
Death was the only thing my eyes could see.
In a radius of over three hundred meters I was the only one alive.
It had happened, the prophecy really did happen and it was manifested by one man and one man alone.
The clan lost a total of five hundred plus warriors that day.
Adding a hundred from visiting clans this man killed six hundred plus warriors under twelve hours from moving between branches and to the main residence.
And why? Because one of our family members dispatched to a branch while drunk had made a joke about having his way with the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader his sister.
And when he was confronted by Sangdaejong he and the other family members amongst him not not knowing who Sangdaejong looked like, arrogantly tried to stand their ground.
And that caused us so much.
But we at least could rebuild the family with the remaining two branches.
This incident happened five years before you were born, twenty years ago." The Grand Elder states.
"That must have been a really horrific experience" I say to the Grand Elder.
"It was, I do not hate David, but I greatly despise Sangdaejong for doing that to my clan." The Grand Elder states.
"I understand." I say to him.
He looks at me and smiles.
"You see, the prophecy about the clan’s annihilation also came with another, stating that if we do survive, two decades later a dragon would rise from our family, raising us from the ashes above our previous level, and that person would possess the Poison Unity Body." The Patriarch says.
"What is this Poison Unity Body?" I ask them.
"Directly linked to the Dang family, it is an extremely rare constitution where an individual becomes poison, his blood, his sweat, his tears, everything about him becomes poison, but the constitution is only activated once one has activated their dantian.
Unlike us, who manipulate poison outside the body, on weapons and with our Ki a person with the Poison Unity Body is poison personified." The Grand Elder says as he goes over to the edge and picks up a little cage containing a mice.
"You cut your hand right? come over" The Grand Elder says to me.
I walk over to stand beside him.
"Grab the mouse with your injured arm." He says.
I look at him strangely for a while, everything he had said, he’s trying to point at something, could it be?
I slowly grab the mouse and as soon as my blood gets in contact with its skin it begins to screech in pain.
I immediately drop it, shocked at what I had just witnessed.
Slowly, I see the life drain out of the mouse as it twitches.
"What the fuck just happened." I think to myself looking at my hand.
"You must be confused, but in simple words, Dang Ki So, you have the Poison Unity Body." The Patriach says to me.
"Naaa thats not it, If I had activated my dantian normally this wouldn’t have happened" I think to myself with my left hand over my mouth.
Could it have been because I merged the Dang Clans Poison technique along with the other two?
And also adding that the bodies I had used for their essence were poison practitioners.
"Does that mean that with the right techniques one could aquire a unique constitution similar to those of the legends." I ponder.
"In the process of activating my dantian and gaining poison immunity I became poison, hahaha" I laugh within.
David would be so shocked.
"You were the prophesied dragon, though now i think phoenix would be more appropriate." The Patriarch says with a hint of excitement.
"This is good, really good, I could use this as my first step to getting my revenge, first take over the Dang Family." I say to myself with a smile.
"So what does this all mean?" I ask the two.
"Well for one you would now be referred to as Dang So and you would be taken under the direct guidance of the Grand Elder." The Patriarch states.
"I would like to respectfully decline the later, I’ve always preferred being alone." I say.
"That would not be possible, we can’t leave our possible rise from the ashes to be all by herself, you need to be brought up well, there are alot of things you could learn..." He speaks in a commanding tone.
"Like activating my dantian? pretty sure I was able to do that myself, martial arts? you don’t need to worry about that, I’m a very fast learner, you could even call me a genius." I rebel.
Ain’t no way I was going to waste my time under their watchful eyes when I can get stronger faster on my own.
Though the resources from the clan would be helpful.
"Its alright Patriarch, if the Poison Unity Body doesn’t need tutoring then we can’t do much about it, besides we don’t know much about it either, the only other weilder of this constitution was the Clan Founder." The Grand Elder says cutting off the Patriarch.
"You may take your leave now Dang So, I have something to discuss with the Patriach, some guards will come over to your courtyard in a few minutes." He says showing me the door.
I give a bow before seeing my way out.
Exiting the library I say out to myself in a low voice as I clench my fist.
"It won’t be long David, just wait a while, I’ll send all those that took you from me over to you."
