Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 134
Jeok Rihyeon flinched at the mention of a life-and-death duel.
“What are you talking about? A life-and-death duel? Why are you saying such frightening things now?”
“Don’t worry. It’s not Father’s turn yet.”
Those words were even more frightening.
Saying “not yet” meant it would come someday, didn’t it?
“Then who’s having the life-and-death duel?”
“I’ll tell you when we get there.”
“Where are we going?”
“Let’s go to Baeak Valley.”
“That place has been getting bad rumors lately, hasn’t it?”
“Really? That’s even better. We can’t have a place with bad rumors near our house, can we? Don’t you think so, Grandfather?”
“That’s right. I’ll clean it up neatly.”
“I’ll handle the cleaning up. Grandfather, you’ll have something else to do.”
“Me? Am I the one who has to have a life-and-death duel?”
“Yes.”
“With whom?”
“I’ll tell you when we get there.”
“Hmph. You never give me a straight answer even once.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No. Since you said you’ll tell me when we get there, let’s go quickly.”
“Yes.”
When Jeok Wigang stood up, everyone else hurriedly stood up as well.
“Are you all planning to follow?”
“We have to go together.”
“I have no idea what you’re scheming… Let’s go quickly.”
“Yes.”
***
Baeak Valley.
A place where a hundred treacherous mountains were clustered together.
It was a mountain that rarely saw human footsteps because the terrain was rough and there were many fierce wild beasts.
But recently, bad rumors had been circulating about this mountain.
It was a rumor about a certain sect that had been established in Baeak Valley.
Since they had established a sect in Baeak Valley where no one visited, and weren’t engaging in any special activities, people found that sect suspicious.
With no known information available, bad rumors spread through word of mouth among the people.
Baeak Valley’s Cheonyapyeong (Thousand Fields Plain).
In the center of the rugged mountain was a wide plain, which was called Cheonyapyeong.
Though it was a wide plain, it wasn’t a place where people could live since sunlight barely reached it and it was filled with ominous energy.
“Good grief. How did you even find a place like this?”
“I wandered around many places when I was young.”
At the mention of wandering around a lot, Jeok Rihyeon asked.
“When? Taecheon was always by your side, wasn’t he?”
“I wandered around when Taecheon was asleep.”
“Taecheon had no idea you were going out?”
“If I set my mind to it, it wasn’t difficult.”
“W-wait. Does that mean you were already strong from a young age?”
“Yes.”
He had been completely fooled.
“Why didn’t you tell us?”
“Actually, I wasn’t confident back then. And it would be awkward if the Gate Master of a martial arts sect had no internal energy and couldn’t perform martial arts. And most importantly, becoming a Gate Master would take away my freedom.”
“Huh…”
“But don’t worry. I’ll firmly guard my position behind Jin Mu Sect.”
“Just how strong are you exactly?”
At Jeok Rihyeon’s question, Jeok Mugun grumbled as he answered.
“What do you mean how strong. Even these mountains surrounding this area would turn into flat ground with one punch from that guy.”
At those words, Jeok Rihyeon chuckled.
“Father, do you take me for a fool? How is that possible? Can you do it, Father?”
“I can’t do it. But that guy can, I tell you.”
“Please stop. You should know when to stop teasing.”
“Ugh! So frustrating! Wi Gang, you tell him.”
At Jeok Mugun’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“Grandfather is right.”
“Huh?”
“Let me show you just a little.”
Jeok Wigang immediately threw a fist attack straight ahead.
Whoosh-.
Kwaaaaang-.
Part of the mountain peak in front disappeared without a trace.
It didn’t even seem like he had used tremendous force.
Even after rubbing his eyes in disbelief and looking again, the spot where the mountain peak should have been was empty.
“Th, this is…”
Those absurd words were all true.
“H, how can you have such power when you don’t even have a dantian?”
“Should I just say it’s natural born strength?”
“What? You created this kind of power with pure fist attacks without any internal energy?”
“Yes.”
Should he believe this?
“If you can’t believe it, please check my dantian.”
“No. You must be right. Amazing. To think my son was this strong.”
Jeok Rihyeon had clearly confirmed how strong Jeok Wigang was.
There was no need to see more.
The single move he had just witnessed was an incredible sight that even Jeok Mugun, called the greatest in the Central Plains, couldn’t accomplish.
Then the words about a life-and-death duel came to mind.
“Didn’t you say earlier that you had to have a life-and-death duel with someone? You’re not planning to do it with your father, are you?”
He had no confidence to face that tremendous fist attack.
“No. Grandfather will be the one having the life-and-death duel.”
Jeok Mugun was startled by Jeok Wigang’s words?
“Me? Why? I have no desire to fight you at all.”
“Not with me.”
“Not you? Who? Who’s going to have a life-and-death duel with me?”
Naturally, his gaze turned toward Jeok Rihyeon.
Jeok Rihyeon frantically waved his hands in denial.
“H-how could this lowly son be a match for Father? No! I absolutely won’t do it.”
“It’s not that guy?”
“It’s not. You think I’d throw Father into a fire pit?”
“Then?”
“Come out.”
When Jeok Wigang spoke to someone, one person slowly emerged while reading the atmosphere.
It was Ye Yahyeon.
“You said you’ve been grinding your teeth for a long time. Grandfather has been searching for you desperately too. Let’s use this opportunity to resolve each other’s grudges.”
“Really… may I?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Ye Yahyeon’s appearance, Jeok Mugun tilted his head and asked.
“Who is that? You’re saying I searched desperately for that guy?”
“You’ll know when you see.”
He said to Ye Yahyeon.
“Show your true form.”
Crack-.
Then Ye Yahyeon’s skeleton twisted as he returned to his original appearance.
Jeok Mugun’s eyes turned frighteningly cold upon seeing Ye Yahyeon returned to his original form.
“You are… Poison Life Demon God?”
“That’s right. It’s been a long time, Heavenly Martial Emperor.”
Jeok Mugun looked at Jeok Wigang.
“What is the meaning of this?”
“I met him at the Imperial Palace. He seemed quite useful so I took him in as a subordinate. But it turned out he was one of the former Four Heavenly Demon Gods. The Four Heavenly Demon Gods that Grandfather searched for so desperately.”
“That’s right.”
“Since he’s become my subordinate now, resolve your grudge. This guy also said he trained tremendously because he wanted to defeat Grandfather.”
“Is that so?”
Jeok Mugun curled up one corner of his mouth and spoke to Ye Yahyeon in a provocative tone.
“It’s been a while?”
“It has been a while.”
“I searched for you like crazy, but you were right next to Wi Gang?”
“That’s how it turned out.”
“Are you certain that Wi Gang became your subordinate?”
“That’s right.”
“What’s your scheme?”
“A scheme…? There’s nothing like that. At first, I started following him out of fear, but not now. I’m sincerely serving him.”
There was no falsehood in Ye Yahyeon’s expression.
At this, Jeok Mugun chuckled and looked at Jeok Wigang.
What a guy.
Who would have thought he’d make one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods his subordinate.
It felt like a heavy burden he’d been carrying on his shoulders had been lifted.
His mind felt at ease.
What to do now?
He should enjoy what his grandson had prepared for him.
“No wonder I felt something strange from the first time I saw you. So, you’ve been working hard to defeat me?”
“That’s right. It would be a mistake to think of me as I was before.”
“Is that so? It would also be a mistake to think of me as I was before.”
“We’ll know who’s become stronger if we fight directly.”
“Very well. Come at me.”
As soon as their words ended, Jeok Mugun and Ye Yahyeon clashed, and the tremendous aftershock swept through all directions.
Whoosh-.
Jeok Rihyeon couldn’t grasp what situation this was right now.
He had thought they were just people sent from the Imperial Palace to escort Jeok Wigang, but one of the notorious Four Heavenly Demon Gods.
And not only that, but he was Jeok Wigang’s subordinate.
Now he was fighting against Jeok Mugun.
They were fighting as if trying to kill each other, but anyone could see that Jeok Mugun was overwhelming him.
“Kugh!”
One of Ye Yahyeon’s knees buckled.
Bright red blood continuously flowed from the corner of his mouth.
On the other hand, Jeok Mugun showed no signs of fatigue.
“You’ve become quite strong.”
Ye Yahyeon laughed helplessly.
“Damn monster… Was it too much after all?”
“Sorry, but I’ve done life-and-death training with that guy over there. I got quite a bit stronger then. If it were before, I would have struggled quite a bit too.”
At Jeok Mugun’s words, Ye Yahyeon looked at Jeok Wigang.
“Please make me strong too.”
Jeok Wigang grinned and nodded his head.
“As much as you want.”
“Thank you.”
Thud-.
With those words, Ye Yahyeon fainted.
Jeok Mugun slowly walked over and asked Jeok Wigang.
“Hey. What are you planning to do by making this guy strong?”
“It’s good to have many strong people. Overwhelming strength protects peace, doesn’t it?”
“That’s true, but… Can you trust this guy?”
“If he causes trouble later, I’ll handle it.”
Why was Jeok Wigang saying he would handle it so reassuring?
“Alright. Well. He’s your subordinate, so do as you please. By the way, why is that guy staring at me like that?”
“He probably felt competitive seeing Grandfather’s appearance.”
“That guy seems pretty capable too?”
“He’s stronger than the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”
“Oh ho. Really?”
Son Gang, whose eyes met with Jeok Mugun’s.
“If it wouldn’t be rude, would you exchange moves with me too?”
“Well now. What kind of day is today? I’m getting quite a workout.”
Jeok Mugun grinned and flexed his hand.
“I’m warmed up enough now, so I’m fine. Should I give you time to warm up?”
“No need.”
Whoosh-!
The duel resumed.
Powers of a completely different dimension from before clashed in the void, sending powerful waves spreading in all directions.
Watching this tremendous duel, Jeok Rihyeon felt something boiling up from deep within his chest.
He wanted to become that strong too.
The thought of becoming strong enough to protect his beloved family with his own hands surged within him.
Jeok Rihyeon asked Jeok Wigang.
“Can you make this father as strong as that too?”
Jeok Wigang smiled broadly and nodded.
“Of course. Father will become as strong as Grandfather.”
“Good! If I can do that, I’ll do whatever you tell me to do.”
“Yes. I’ll definitely make you strong.”
Jeok Rihyeon clenched both fists tightly as he watched the duel between Jeok Mugun and Son Gang.
Kwakwakwang-!
Jeok Mugun, who had been countering Son Gang’s attacks, exclaimed in admiration.
“Oho! Such power. You really are stronger than that fellow lying over there.”
“I was half-doubtful when I heard he was defeated, but you really are strong.”
“I acknowledge you too. But don’t tell me you’re also Wi Gang’s subordinate?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh. Well, this is something. Heavenly Martial City is becoming a force that can’t even be compared to now.”
“Stop chattering and shouldn’t we slowly wrap this up?”
“From what I can see, you don’t seem to be at full power?”
“I have circumstances that prevent me from showing my full power.”
“Circumstances?”
Jeok Mugun looked at Jeok Wigang.
Wondering if perhaps he had been told not to reveal his full power.
Then Jeok Wigang spoke.
“Grandfather. That person is from the Transformation Tribe. His body needs to transform for his true abilities to emerge.”
“Transformation Tribe? Is there such a race?”
“There is. When divine beasts exist, why wouldn’t there be unique races among humans?”
“Is that so?”
Jeok Mugun looked at Son Gang with curiosity.
Then Son Gang spoke.
“Dae-hyeong is right. I am called the Dragon Scale Tribe. I’m called that because my appearance transforms like a dragon.”
“You transform like a dragon? That’s fascinating. Let me see it once.”
When Son Gang looked toward Jeok Wigang, Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
Hiss-.
From Son Gang’s body as he smiled broadly, tremendous energy began to burst forth.
