Legend of the Evil Martial God

 

Chapter 123

 

When he flicked it with his finger just like that, it flew rapidly in a straight line, drawing a perfect trajectory.

 

Thud-.

 

Smack-.

 

“Gack!”

 

The rapidly flying walnut shell pierced through the wall and struck someone outside.

 

Thump-.

 

When the Eunuchs went outside at the sound of something falling, a janitor who was cleaning the building had collapsed.

 

“Why the janitor?”

 

“Don’t you understand yet? Wherever we stay, such people are attached to us. That’s why information reaches their ears quickly, and because of that, their intelligence network is exceptional.”

 

“Then what should we do?”

 

“We need to eliminate their center of power first.”

 

One person’s name came out of the Eunuchs’ mouths simultaneously.

 

“Jeok Wigang!”

 

“That’s right. That Guy. We need to eliminate him first.”

 

“The Imperial Guard is protecting him like an iron fortress, so it won’t be easy. Haven’t there already been several failures?”

 

“I’ll step forward myself.”

 

“What? You yourself, Taegam?”

 

“Yes. I’ve been leaving it to you guys because I was worried troublesome things might happen, but now that won’t do. It would be faster for me to solve this problem directly.”

 

“It’s dangerous work. If something goes wrong, you might fall into the trap they’ve laid out.”

 

“If this is a trap, I’ll blow it away along with the trap itself.”

 

From his blazing eyes, it seemed like beams of light would shoot out at any moment.

 

“We’ll help too.”

 

“Word came that the Hanlin Academy will also lend their strength.”

 

“Hmph! Tell them it’s fine. Tell them to quickly come in and maintain stability after the cleanup is finished.”

 

“Understood.”

 

Whoosh-.

 

As the Taegam rose from his seat, the Eunuchs also stood up in unison.

 

“Are you going straight to Jeok Wigang?”

 

“No, I’ll deal with the Imperial Guard Commander first.”

 

“What?”

 

“No matter how I think about it, I can’t stand how insolent he is. I’ll cut off the head of That Guy who’s protecting Jeok Wigang and send it as a gift.”

 

No Eunuch tried to stop the Taegam as he stormed out with an expression full of killing intent.

 

***

 

A dark and gloomy street.

 

Ye Yahyeon was urgently moving somewhere.

 

“Why don’t they make the subordinates handle these trivial matters? Really.”

 

Moving his body hurriedly with an annoyed expression, he suddenly sensed something and stopped.

 

This feeling is.

 

“What business could Lord Dongchang Taegam have with me?”

 

The Dongchang Taegam revealed himself from the darkness.

 

His expression was filled with killing intent.

 

Seeing that expression, Ye Yahyeon chuckled and said.

 

“Looking at your expression, it doesn’t seem like you came to see me for something good?”

 

“Think of your last words. Still, considering our relationship as colleagues, I’ll give you time to leave at least one line of last words.”

 

“Last words? My. You’re overflowing with confidence? Do you think you can beat me, Taegam?”

 

“It’s not impossible.”

 

“Interesting.”

 

Swoosh-.

 

As Ye Yahyeon drew his golden Suchun Sword, the Taegam chuckled.

 

“Do you have no last words?”

 

“Yeah. I don’t.”

 

“Good. Then, let’s start right away.”

 

Ye Yahyeon flicked his finger.

 

“Come at me.”

 

“Insolent fool. I’ll tear your body apart just like that!”

 

Taegam’s pupils changed to thin vertical slits.

 

Seeing those eyes, Ye Yahyeon felt goosebumps rise instantly.

 

Those eyes.

 

At the same time, a strange energy emanated from Taegam’s body.

 

It was certain.

 

“Well, well. He really is a colleague.”

 

Taegam was someone from Hundred Demon Heaven.

 

Ye Yahyeon was certain.

 

If that was the case, he couldn’t face him ordinarily.

 

‘Who exactly is he?’

 

Judging by his energy, he seemed to be of the same class or higher rank than himself.

 

And those pupils.

 

‘He’s definitely from the Dragon Scale Tribe.’

 

A race said to be superior to humans both physically and in stamina.

 

If he really was from the Dragon Scale Tribe, he was a troublesome opponent.

 

It might be different if all the Four Heavenly Demon Gods were together, but alone, he was a very burdensome opponent.

 

Still, there was no choice.

 

It was too late to avoid him.

 

‘Damn it. Of all things, the Dragon Scale Tribe…’

 

There was hope.

 

He had also become stronger than before, so he thought maybe it could be worth a try.

 

Fingers curved like dragon claws flew toward him swiftly, as if they would tear his body to shreds at any moment.

 

Whoosh- Whung whung-.

 

It was fast, but not to the point where he couldn’t dodge it.

 

Compared to Jeok Wigang’s movements, this much was manageable.

 

At the same time, he occasionally saw openings.

 

He wouldn’t be a martial artist if he let those pass by.

 

Crack-.

 

“Kuk!”

 

The Dongchang Taegam suffered as I exploited every gap I could see and counterattacked.

 

“You damn rat bastard!”

 

Charrrrr-.

 

Silver scales appeared on the enraged Dongchang Taegam’s face and began to tremble.

 

I thought it was skin, but apparently it wasn’t.

 

‘So he really is from the Dragon Scale Clan. His endurance is truly impressive. Even after all that beating, all he does is grimace.’

 

I continuously attacked his openings, but he didn’t seem to have taken much damage.

 

If it had been anyone else, they would have been seriously injured or collapsed unable to get up, but Dongchang Taegam was fine.

 

‘He really is a troublesome existence. I need to escape from this place before his form changes.’

 

The Dragon Scale Clan grows stronger each time their form changes, and when they reach complete dragon form, they’re said to possess unmanageable power.

 

So I need to run away while he’s still in human form to have any chance.

 

Fortunately, I had trained extensively in Light Body Technique to avoid Jeok Wigang.

 

‘That’s proving helpful now.’

 

First, I need to escape from this place and inform Jeok Wigang of this fact.

 

That Dongchang Taegam belongs to Baekma Heaven and is from the Dragon Scale Clan, not human.

 

One characteristic of the Dragon Scale Clan was their incredibly handsome faces.

 

‘No wonder Noble Consort Man was so deeply infatuated that she couldn’t break free.’

 

I had been so focused on Jeok Wigang’s whereabouts, which was directly connected to my safety, that I hadn’t paid attention to Dongchang Taegam’s face.

 

If I had been more observant, I would have realized he was from the Dragon Scale Clan.

 

This is why information is important.

 

If I had known, I would have run away the moment I saw Dongchang Taegam.

 

While I was having these various thoughts, the silver scales on the Taegam’s face grew darker.

 

As he gradually transformed into dragon form, his speed and strength increased as well.

 

I had dodged easily before, so I thought this time would be the same.

 

Tziiiik-.

 

The front of my clothes was torn away.

 

If I had dodged just a little later, it wouldn’t have been the front of my clothes but the skin of my chest that would have been ripped off.

 

The Taegam grinned wickedly and spoke.

 

“Arrogant human bastard. Now that you’ve seen my true form, you have no chance of living.”

 

“That’s not for you to decide.”

 

Though he said this, the situation wasn’t good.

 

Unlike before, now there were no openings to be seen.

 

He had instantly corrected his deficient parts.

 

Having confirmed that continuing to fight would be disadvantageous, he now made escaping from that bastard his top priority when the opportunity arose.

 

Unlike before, hands that had now transformed like beast claws came flying wildly, unleashing tremendous power.

 

Whoosh whoosh whoosh- Whoom-.

 

Swoosh-.

 

Dodging here and there while scattering poison didn’t work.

 

“Kekeke. Poison doesn’t work on me.”

 

Damn body.

 

If poison didn’t work, this was an opponent completely incompatible with him.

 

It seemed he was one who dealt with poison even among the Dragon Scale tribe.

 

He hadn’t thought he could kill the bastard with poison, but he had thought he might be able to buy some time.

 

It was a completely wrong assumption.

 

Come to think of it, the reason the Emperor had been ill was also said to be poisoning.

 

That bastard must have poisoned him.

 

“They say you’re the strongest among all Imperial Guard Commanders in history, and it doesn’t seem to be empty words. You’re the first bastard to dodge my attacks to this extent.”

 

“Thanks for the compliment.”

 

“I’ll give you a chance. Come under me. If you do, I’ll spare your life and use you in an important position.”

 

“What an honor. But what to do? I can’t do that.”

 

“Is that a refusal? Kekeke. I understand. Then let’s end this now.”

 

The moment he dodged the Taegam charging at him again quickly, something flew toward his face.

 

“Damn it!”

 

He quickly gathered all his energy, concentrated it in both hands, then crossed them.

 

Clang-!

 

“Kugh!”

 

Even though he blocked with all his might, tremendous shock was transmitted through his arms to his body.

 

Ye Yahyeon’s body floated up into the air and flew far back.

 

Just before falling, he turned his body in the void to regain balance, but seemed to have suffered considerable internal injuries.

 

Drip-.

 

A disgusting feeling spread throughout his body, as if his internal organs had been shaken and displaced.

 

Ye Yahyeon glared at the Dongchang Taegam without even realizing that something was flowing down from his mouth.

 

“To think you blocked that. Impressive?”

 

What exactly had attacked him?

 

His curiosity was quickly resolved.

 

“A tail…”

 

He could see a tail moving from the Taegam’s rear.

 

The Taegam’s attacks continued.

 

When he dodged, the tail would fly at him, and when he dodged the tail too, scales would come flying.

 

Whizz-.

 

Thud thud thud-.

 

“Kugh!”

 

Scales embedded throughout Ye Yahyeon’s body.

 

“Kekeke. Those scales embedded in your body are coated with poison that only I can detoxify.”

 

He could feel the poison’s energy penetrating his body.

 

He instinctively knew.

 

This poison was not one he could detoxify himself.

 

Still, he had resistance to poison, so he could delay the poisoning time as much as possible.

 

The problem was that to do so, he couldn’t exert his full power.

 

But the bigger problem was that to escape from the Dragon Scale Clan, he needed to flee at full power.

 

Rustle-.

 

More scales than before were visible on the Taegam’s body.

 

The raised scales seemed to absorb the sun’s energy.

 

“No matter how much I fight, I absorb the sun’s energy so my strength doesn’t diminish. On the other hand, you’ve been poisoned and are struggling desperately to prevent it, so your energy will soon run out.”

 

Ye Yahyeon chuckled and said.

 

“So? You want me to wait until my energy runs out?”

 

“Why? Should I kill you right now instead?”

 

“Would you do that?”

 

“Kekeke. I can’t show you such consideration. My poison is special, so experience it once.”

 

“How is it special?”

 

“You’ll experience pain like you’ve never felt in your entire life. Kekeke.”

 

“Pain I’ve never experienced? Really?”

 

“That’s right. Why? Are you starting to regret rejecting my proposal earlier?”

 

“Regret? Kekuk. No. I’m just curious if this pain I’ve never experienced will be worse than the pain I already know.”

 

“Is that so? Then let me help you experience it faster.”

 

In an instant, Taegam’s figure disappeared.

 

Instinctively thinking he had to block, he urgently drew up his energy to protect his body.

 

Zzzeong-.

 

Kukwakwakwang-.

 

Ye Yahyeon’s Energy Barrier and Taegam’s tremendous energy collided, creating powerful waves that shattered the surroundings.

 

That wasn’t the end.

 

Taegam’s attacks came flying relentlessly without pause.

 

Ye Yahyeon was barely managing to block them.

 

As a result, the poison spread rapidly and pain surged through him.

 

“Keueuuk!”

 

A groan escaped from Ye Yahyeon’s mouth.

 

“It looks like the poison has finally spread. You’re quite skilled at handling poison.”

 

“Kaak! Ptui!”

 

Tutuk-.

 

Chiiik-.

 

The ground that Ye Yahyeon’s spit touched melted away.

 

He had spat out part of the poison in his body.

 

Despite expelling part of the poison, Ye Yahyeon’s condition rapidly deteriorated.

 

His vision became blurry and excruciating pain came as if all the muscles in his body were twisting.

 

“No matter how I look at it, you’re quite something. It should hurt so much you can’t even stand properly, right?”

 

“Kekuk! I’ve experienced pain worse than this. This is bearable pain.”

 

At Ye Yahyeon’s words, Taegam smiled coldly and said.

 

“What arrogance. Let’s see how long you can last?”
