Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 14

 

 

 

On the surface, it looked perfectly ordinary and normal.

To confirm their methods, I would need to borrow money, which made me sigh.

With my current body, they would absolutely never lend me money.

This is why I want to grow up quickly.

A child’s body had too many limitations.

While I was pondering what to do, I bumped into someone and my tanghulu fell.

As I stared blankly at the tanghulu that had fallen to the ground, I heard a man’s voice.

 

“Oh my, I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.”

 

When I looked up, I saw a handsome man with a blue righteousness headband tied around his forehead, smiling as he looked at me.

 

“It’s okay. I was being careless too.”

“What? Hahaha.”

 

The man laughed heartily and held out an iron coin.

 

“Here. Buy yourself the biggest and most delicious one.”

 

As I looked at the iron coin the man offered, my gaze went to the sword in his other hand.

A sword with “Blue Heaven” written on it.

I didn’t take the iron coin and stared intently at the sword, so the man smiled and said.

 

“Are you interested in swords?”

“Because it says Blue Heaven on it.”

“Ah, this? It’s a word that represents our family.”

“Which family is that?”

“Hm?”

 

When I asked with an expression that truly didn’t know, the man chuckled and said.

 

“Well, look at me. Thinking that everyone in the world would know our family. How arrogant of me.”

“Is it a family that can be recognized by seeing the characters Blue Heaven?”

“If you’re a martial artist, yes. Blue Heaven is a term that represents the Namgung Family.”

“Ah! The Namgung Family! I know them!”

“You do? Hahaha! How fortunate that you know us.”

“The Namgung Family is in Anhui Province. What brings you all the way here?”

“Oh! You even know where our family is located. How grateful. Ah, right. What brings me here? I’m on a warrior’s journey.”

“A warrior’s journey?”

“That’s right. In the Namgung Family, when you reach the age of twenty, you must travel throughout the entire Central Plains on a warrior’s journey. Well, it’s called a warrior’s journey, but it’s really telling us to go experience Jianghu.”

 

The energy emanating from his body felt pleasant.

This person was truly righteous.

Jeok Wigang felt good meeting such a nice person for once.

 

“You’re a good person, big brother.”

“What? Big brother?”

“Isn’t that right?”

“Hahahaha! Well, this is something. I suddenly gained a younger brother. That’s right! They say all within the four seas are brothers, so what’s wrong with that? Call me big brother.”

“What’s your name, big brother?”

“My name is Namgung Baek. What is our little brother’s name?”

“I’m called Kang Wi.”

 

I hid my name.

 

“So you’re Younger Brother Kang. It was nice meeting you. Use this money to buy another tanghulu that this big brother dropped.”

“Thank you.”

 

When I took the iron coin, Namgung Baek smiled and stood up.

 

“Well then, take care. Let’s meet again if we get another chance.”

“Yes.”

 

Namgung Baek waved his hand and left.

Jeok Wigang became interested in Namgung Baek.

This was the first time since Taecheon that someone had caught his fancy like this.

Following behind him to observe, Namgung Baek’s behavior was strange.

He seemed to be surveying something.

Looking where Namgung Baek’s gaze was directed, there was a branch office of Baekgeum Gate.

Could it be?

Was he watching Baekgeum Gate?

Deciding to observe more, I put the newly bought tanghulu in my mouth.

After staring intently at the Baekgeum Gate branch office for a long while, Namgung Baek began moving in a different direction.

Following him, there was a clothing store there, and Namgung Baek who went inside soon appeared having changed clothes.

He didn’t just change clothes, but also wrapped the sword he was carrying tightly in cloth wrapping and strapped it to his back.

Then he headed toward Baekgeum Gate.

I quickly recited the invisibility incantation to make my body invisible, then followed Namgung Baek.

Going inside, in the dark atmosphere, intimidating thugs with tattoos stood with their arms crossed, glaring at Namgung Baek with frightening eyes.

 

“What business brings you here? From your expression, it doesn’t seem like you came to borrow money.”

 

Namgung Baek took out a promissory note and held it out.

 

“This promissory note is invalid.”

“Hahaha. Well, this is something. Appearing out of nowhere and what kind of talk is that?”

“Look here, the interest is five parts per month. And it’s compound interest! Do you think this makes sense?”

“Why wouldn’t it make sense? Five parts per month isn’t even that high.”

“The yearly interest is eighty parts! According to the Great Ming Code, yearly interest cannot exceed thirty parts!”

“Oh my. A magistrate has appeared. If you’re dissatisfied with that, why don’t you report it to the government office.”

“I already reported it. The government office said they can’t touch you because you’re martial artists.”

“You’ve already looked into everything before coming.”

“Immediately destroy this promissory note and return the money you’ve extorted. And if you promise never to do such things again, I’ll let this slide.”

“Oh my! How scary.”

The elder sitting at the desk sneered and spoke.

“Why? What are you going to do to us if we don’t listen?”

“In the name of justice, I will punish you.”

“Hahaha! Justice? This is crazy. There are still people shouting about justice these days. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right, indeed. Hahaha!”

“Listen here, young hero. From what I can see, you’re new to Jianghu and full of enthusiasm. As your senior, I’ll show great magnanimity and let you go today. So quietly leave.”

“If I turn a blind eye to wrongdoing, I won’t be able to look straight up at the heavens! I warn you one last time. Destroy this Promissory Note and promise never to do such things again.”

“Crazy bastard.”

 

The Elder shook his head and spoke.

 

“You can’t reason with guys like that. Get rid of him.”

“Yes!”

 

As the Thugs rushed at him, Namgung Baek quickly dodged their attacks and counterattacked.

 

Thud thud thud-.

 

The Thugs hit by Namgung Baek’s fists were sent flying backward.

However, the Thugs didn’t seem to be greatly damaged by Namgung Baek’s punches.

Watching the Thugs casually dust off their Clothes and get up, Namgung Baek felt something was strange.

He had definitely attacked with Internal Power infused?

It wasn’t an attack they should have gotten up from so easily.

He drew up more Internal Power and attacked the Thugs, but they still got up as if nothing happened.

Then the Elder’s voice was heard.

 

“Do you think you’re the first or second guy like you I’ve dealt with in this business? These are kids I raised to handle guys like you. They’ve learned the Steel Body Technique, so they’re unfazed by ordinary impacts.”

 

He looked at Namgung Baek and smirked.

 

“Moreover, if you can’t even use Internal Energy properly, it’s even harder to deal with them.”

“What?”

 

Drip-.

 

As something flowed down from his nose with a fishy smell, Namgung Baek wiped it with his finger and looked.

 

“Blood?”

 

Blood was flowing from his nose.

 

“What is this?”

“Stupid fool. You’re flailing around without even knowing you’ve been hit with Power-Dispersing Poison. This is why newcomers are hopeless.”

 

The Thugs’ fists rained down mercilessly on Namgung Baek as he staggered with a nosebleed.

 

Thud thud thud thud-.

 

In an instant, Namgung Baek’s face became covered in blood.

 

“Stop.”

 

At the Elder’s voice, the merciless punches stopped.

He slowly approached Namgung Baek, crouched down in front of him, and clicked his tongue.

 

“Tsk tsk. In Jianghu, you shouldn’t carelessly interfere in others’ affairs. Didn’t your Master teach you even such basic things?”

“I don’t know about that. I was taught not to turn away from injustice.”

“Is that so?”

 

The Elder stood up from his spot.

 

“If you crawl between my legs, I’ll let you live and send you away. How about it? My proposal.”

“Ugh!”

“That’s better than dying a dog’s death right now, isn’t it? They say even rolling in a dung field is better than the afterlife.”

 

Namgung Baek regretted it.

That he had acted too carelessly.

Having been raised preciously, he knew too little about the ways of the world.

Since everyone feared him, he thought everyone in the world was like that, but it wasn’t true.

Come to think of it, what people feared wasn’t him but the name Namgung.

With the name Namgung hidden, he was this insignificant.

It was pathetic.

But even so, he couldn’t surrender here.

He was a direct descendant of the great Namgung Family.

He would rather die than ever surrender.

He was only sorry to his Parents and Family Members.

Due to his incompetence, he had tarnished the family name.

 

“I’d rather die than listen to your words.”

 

At Namgung Baek’s words, the Elder chuckled.

 

“You still haven’t come to your senses. You still don’t realize that your fate is now in my hands. For now, get some sleep. That’ll be the last time you can sleep comfortably.”

 

Thwack-.

 

As soon as the Elder finished speaking, a Thug struck Namgung Baek’s back of the head hard.

 

Thump-.

 

Looking down at the unconscious Namgung Baek, the Elder spoke.

 

“I’ll definitely make you beg for your life.”

 

The Elder smirked as if he had found an interesting toy.

When the Elder nodded, a Thug bent down to carry Namgung Baek.

 

“Don’t touch him.”

 

Then, at the sudden young voice, everyone in the Room turned their heads in unison.

 

“What is that thing?”

“Looks like some brat who thinks he’s actually an evil spirit just because he’s wearing an Evil Spirit Mask.”

“Sigh. What kind of day is this? The guests we’re waiting for don’t come, and only unlucky things keep showing up?”

 

The Elder, who had been grumbling in annoyance, changed his expression as if something had occurred to him.

 

“No wait. Now that I think about it, we need a child about that size, don’t we?”

“Ah! That’s right.”

“This isn’t unlucky at all, it’s good luck. He crawled right in on his own. What are you doing? Catch him before he runs away.”

“Yes!”

 

The Thugs rushed forward to capture Jeok Wigang, who was wearing the Evil Spirit Mask.

The Elder naturally assumed they would catch him and didn’t pay much attention.

 

Thud thud thud-.

Crash-.

Thump-.

 

When dull sounds of something being struck came along with sounds of collapse, the Elder turned his head.

The Thugs were lying on the ground while Jeok Wigang stood there perfectly fine.

 

“What? Did he learn some Martial Arts?”

 

The Elder didn’t think much of it.

He had no doubt that the Thugs would get up soon and subdue him.

But no matter how long he waited, the Thugs showed no signs of moving.

 

“What are you doing? Get up quickly!”

 

Even when he shouted at them, the Thugs didn’t even twitch.

Looking closer, they were unconscious with foam at their mouths.

 

“They’re unconscious?”

 

He was shocked.

This was a first.

A human who had subdued Thugs who had learned the Steel Body Technique.

As Jeok Wigang slowly approached, the Elder stepped backward and shouted to the remaining Thugs.

 

“What are you doing! Stop him quickly!”

 

At the Elder’s command, the remaining Thugs all rushed toward Jeok Wigang at once.

 

Crack-.

 

The Elder saw it clearly.

 

Crunch-!

 

Every time Jeok Wigang’s fist moved, the Thugs’ bodies shook violently before collapsing.

 

Thud-.

 

Even the last remaining Thug fell, leaving only the Elder alone.

The Elder looked up at the Ceiling and sighed.

 

“This really isn’t easy.”

 

His voice wasn’t one of despair.

It was the voice of someone slightly annoyed that things weren’t going smoothly.

The Elder turned his head to look at Jeok Wigang.

What kind of day is today really?

The Elder sighed as he looked at Jeok Wigang.

Judging by his build, he was definitely a child.

Or wasn’t he?

Something as absurd as Rejuvenation Technique couldn’t be it.

Was it dwarfism?

Not everyone with a small build would be a child after all.

 

“Who exactly are you?”

“The Younger Brother of that person lying over there.”

 

He looked at Namgung Baek who was lying unconscious.

 

“He looked unlucky from the moment I first saw him.”
