Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 141
At Ha Muhyeon’s words, The Men laughed and said.
“Hahaha! From now on we’re your subordinates, so please speak comfortably.”
Ha Muhyeon flinched at The Men’s words.
He wasn’t bold enough to speak casually to those faces.
“How could I do that when we’re meeting for the first time? I’ll speak comfortably once we become closer.”
“Please do as you’re comfortable, Chief Escort Leader.”
Ha Muhyeon looked around at The Men.
“How many of you came in total?”
“Fifty for now.”
“Are you all Super Peak Level?”
“That’s right.”
Fifty Super Peak Level warriors was more than enough—it was excessive force.
After all, they were organizing a merchant caravan with escort leader-level fighters, not ordinary escorts.
“Then, who is the strongest among you here?”
When he asked this with the intention of selecting an escort leader from among them, The Men looked at each other.
“We don’t know since we haven’t fought each other.”
“I think I might be stronger than this guy here.”
“What? What kind of nonsense is that?”
“Hey. I would beat you.”
“You’re talking nonsense. That’s what I should be saying.”
“Ha, this is ridiculous. Hey, get up.”
“Fine! Yeah. Let’s do this.”
Killing Intent surged from all directions, creating an atmosphere as if a life-and-death battle would unfold at any moment.
Ha Muhyeon was greatly flustered by the unexpected atmosphere.
It felt like something was about to happen at any moment.
If they started fighting here, who would be able to stop them?
Just as he was regretting bringing up the topic and wondering how to calm them down, it happened.
“What? Why is it so noisy?”
At someone’s voice, the men’s gazes turned in unison.
Then it became quiet as if nothing had happened.
“These guys fight whenever they get the chance. I really need to catch them once and establish the hierarchy.”
“Hey hey, leave them be. They must be doing that because they’re so bored.”
Several men wearing blue martial robes were walking over.
The men in blue martial robes spotted Ha Muhyeon and approached with smiles, offering a cupped fist salute.
“By any chance, are you the Head Escort of Jinmu Trading Company?”
“Y-yes, that’s right. Who might you be?”
“Ah! We are escort applicants. Hahaha!”
“We’re only at the Transformation Realm, so we might be lacking, but please take care of us.”
“What? Trans-Transformation Realm?”
Good heavens.
What was happening right now?
Transformation Realm martial artists wanting to be escorts?
Those at a higher realm than himself, a supreme master, were coming to work as mere escorts.
It felt like he was dreaming.
“You’re at a higher realm than me, so why are you applying to be escorts?”
“Do you not like us? We absolutely must work as escorts.”
“Please accept us! If we go back like this, we’ll die.”
“We’ll do well.”
The Transformation Realm martial artists were pleading to be accepted.
“That, that is…”
Just when he couldn’t judge what this situation was about at all.
“What? Are you guys bothering the Head Escort right now?”
Hearing a familiar voice, he turned his head to see Jeok Wigang walking over.
“T-Trading Company Leader.”
Jeok Wigang couldn’t have been more welcome.
Wait, but wasn’t he speaking too casually?
What if the Transformation Level martial artists got offended?
The moment he turned his head toward the Transformation Level martial artists, thinking he should mediate between them.
They weren’t visible.
When he lowered his gaze, he saw the Transformation Level martial artists lying flat on the ground.
Not only the Transformation Level martial artists, but even the Super Peak Level martial artists who had rushed over to express their opinions were lying flat on the ground, not even making a sound as they breathed.
He stood there dumbfounded with his mouth agape, wearing a bewildered expression.
“Chief Escort. Did those bastards cause you trouble?”
“What? Well, that…”
“Hey. I clearly told you to listen well to the Chief Escort, didn’t I?”
“We listened well!”
“It seems like there was a commotion just now? Wasn’t there?”
“No, there wasn’t!”
A booming voice.
The martial artists lying on the ground were all trembling at Jeok Wigang’s voice.
“I clearly said that the Chief Escort’s orders are my orders, didn’t I?”
“That’s right!”
“Then why does the Chief Escort have a troubled expression? Do you want to die?”
“We were wrong!”
Jeok Wigang looked at Ha Muhyeon and said.
“From now on, if there’s anyone who doesn’t listen, write down their names and give me the list.”
“What?”
“You understand?”
“Yes.”
“The bastards whose names are on the list will have a fun time with me. Got it?”
“Yes!”
Jeok Wigang looked different.
What on earth had he done to them that not only Super Peak Level but even Transformation Level martial artists were trembling like this?
From what he had heard, Jeok Wigang definitely had a body that couldn’t learn martial arts because he had no dantian.
To tremble like that before someone who didn’t even have martial arts.
Was there someone else behind Jeok Wigang?
“Hey, everyone get up.”
At Jeok Wigang’s single word, the martial artists jumped up and stood in upright postures.
Seeing this, Ha Muhyeon became even more confused.
That truly seemed like behavior born from fear of Jeok Wigang.
“You can use that Flowering level martial artist as the escort leader, and this Super Peak Level one as an escort.”
“A-are you serious? Shouldn’t such talented individuals be sent to Jin Mu Sect instead? They’re far too valuable to use as escort leaders and escorts.”
“It’s fine. Hey, you guys are okay with this too, right?”
“Yes! Please just give us the chance!”
Jeok Wigang said with a grin.
“They’re asking to just give them a chance. Please prepare for the trading expedition with these men.”
“A-alright.”
“I’ll be going on the Fortress trading expedition as well. Please prepare for that too.”
“What? The Fortress trading expedition?”
“Yes. You said you get attacked every time you go there. I want to see for myself.”
“We can’t send the Trading Company Leader on such a dangerous mission.”
“It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that I should go. Isn’t that what a Trading Company Leader is for?”
“But it’s still dangerous. If anything happens to the Trading Company Leader, I won’t have the face to meet the Gate Master.”
“You don’t need to worry about me.”
“But Trading Company Leader… don’t you not know martial arts?”
Jeok Wigang stroked his chin.
“First, it would be faster to show you my abilities. Here… the space is too cramped. Let’s go.”
“Wh-where do you mean?”
“To a place where I can demonstrate my abilities.”
“What?”
“You guys follow along too.”
“Yes!”
Jeok Wigang moved first and The Men followed behind him.
Ha Muhyeon also found himself swept up in the group and following along.
***
Ha Muhyeon sat there with a dazed expression.
“Was I dreaming?”
It was such an unbelievable sight that such thoughts came to mind.
“To think the Trading Company Leader was that strong…”
It was unbelievable.
When he first told all the Super Peak Level martial artists and Flower Mirror Level martial artists to attack him, I was horrified.
What was he thinking, doing something so reckless?
I was wondering how to stop this, but instead the Super Peak Level martial artist and Flower Mirror Level martial artists were scared and didn’t want to attack.
“That’s an order.”
When Jeok Wigang said it was an order, the atmosphere among the martial artists there changed.
The fearful atmosphere was instantly covered with killing intent.
The way they looked at Jeok Wigang was like looking at a mortal enemy.
That wasn’t the end of it.
As if they were really going to fight to the death, they even drew their weapons and took full battle stance.
I thought something terrible would really happen and tried to stop them, but it was too late.
They were already charging at Jeok Wigang with terrifying momentum.
Why did he have to provoke those frightening people?
It was too late now.
I thought it would be fortunate if we could at least recover his corpse intact.
But it didn’t take long to realize that thought was wrong.
Crack-.
Thud thud thud thud-.
The martial artists who had charged with terrifying momentum were being knocked down by Jeok Wigang’s fists.
Watching the martial artists writhing in pain on the ground, I could roughly guess how strong Jeok Wigang’s fists were.
Just how strong was he that those masters couldn’t withstand a single punch?
The Flower Mirror Level masters were no different.
Though they were displaying martial arts like supreme divine techniques, they were equally knocked down before Jeok Wigang’s fists and suffered on the ground.
“These guys were slacking off when I told them to train hard? Why aren’t you getting up quickly?”
At Jeok Wigang’s roar, the martial artists staggered to their feet.
Though they didn’t look to be in good condition, they gritted their teeth and charged at Jeok Wigang again.
What Ha Muhyeon witnessed there was truly a scene from hell.
That hellish scene only ended when all the martial artists were in a state where they could no longer move.
I could clearly confirm just how strong Jeok Wigang was.
However, a problem had arisen.
In the process of confirming his strength, the escort leaders and guards who needed to depart for the merchant journey were in such serious condition they couldn’t move.
They all looked to be in such poor condition that they would need at least a month of recovery.
The merchant journey preparations were all finished, but now things had gone wrong.
Didn’t Jeok Wigang anticipate this?
He should have held back.
But he couldn’t say anything about it.
If he did, he might end up like the other warriors lying on the ground.
It was then that he thought he should somehow handle this situation.
He thought the surprising events were over, but something even more astonishing happened.
When Jeok Wigang spread a formation on the ground, white light enveloped the warrior who had been lying there in agony.
Then he could visibly see the warriors’ conditions improving.
An unbelievable sight.
This is a dream.
I need to wake up.
Thinking this, he pinched his cheek and pinched his thigh.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
That means it’s not a dream.
Ha Muhyeon’s gaze was now directed toward Jeok Wigang.
An impossible being had come as the Trading Company Leader.
Before he knew it, the warriors who had been rolling on the ground were standing upright in perfect condition as if nothing had happened.
They had all recovered in an instant.
Is he a god?
For a moment, such a thought occurred to him.
While he stood there dazed, Jeok Wigang smiled and asked.
“It’s been confirmed, hasn’t it? Now you don’t need to worry.”
“Yes? Yes! Ah, I understand!”
Worry?
He absolutely wouldn’t.
Hadn’t he just seen it?
Not only did he single-handedly face the entire strength of a mid-tier sect, but he didn’t even show signs of difficulty.
He was truly a being equivalent to a one-man sect.
There was no need to worry.
***
Ha Muhyeon is recalling the events with Jeok Wigang.
Then, he heard someone’s voice.
When he came to his senses, the deputy leader was looking at him with a worried expression.
“Is there something wrong? You don’t look well.”
“Hm? Oh, no. I’m just a bit tired.”
“You must have been very concerned about the trade expedition preparations.”
“It seems so. But isn’t it fortunate? That we can depart on the trade expedition.”
“That’s right. If we couldn’t depart for this trading expedition, the Trading Company could have been in serious trouble.”
“Exactly. The Sky helped us.”
“Trading Company Leader, where did you bring such masters from?”
“I didn’t bring them.”
“Pardon?”
“Those masters are all… the Trading Company Leader’s Subordinates.”
“Pardon?”
“For now, just know that much. I’ll tell you the details later.”
“Pardon? Yes. I understand.”
“How much of the preparations are done?”
“Almost finished. The Fortress trading expedition is also prepared as you instructed.”
“Well done.”
“Are we really departing for the Fortress trading expedition too? I heard that the Trading Company Leader will personally go on the Fortress trading expedition.”
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“Dangerous?”
Laughter came out.
“It’s dangerous.”
“Then we should stop you.”
“For the enemies.”
“Pardon?”
“It’s dangerous for the enemies. They’ll regret it. Messing with us.”
