Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 147
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Wi Garyang and Mok Jin looked at him with expressions of disbelief.
Then he tapped the back of his neck with his hand and looked up at the sky.
“Ah… I haven’t lived that long either… but I’m experiencing all sorts of strange things.”
The more Wi Garyang thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, and he even let out a hollow laugh.
Wi Garyang stopped laughing and glared at Jeok Wigang with a frightening expression as he spoke.
“Go ahead and try to take me down. If you can’t do it, you won’t be leaving here alive today.”
At the moment of that menacing warning, Jeok Wigang’s figure became blurred. In an instant, he grabbed Wi Garyang’s neck and lifted him into the air.
“Kkeheuk!”
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Unable to react properly and caught just like that, the startled Wi Garyang struggled desperately to free the hand gripping his neck.
But the grip was so strong that no matter how much he struggled, it wouldn’t budge.
If he couldn’t free it, he would cut it off.
Wi Garyang quickly drew the sword at his waist and slashed at Jeok Wigang’s arm.
Swoosh-.
The sword cut through the air, and Jeok Wigang had already stepped back.
When exactly did he move there?
It truly felt like being possessed by a ghost.
But it didn’t matter.
Whether it was a ghost or whatever, he just had to cut it down.
Wi Garyang’s sword moved swiftly toward Jeok Wigang.
Ting-!
The sword stopped right in front of Jeok Wigang’s nose.
What blocked that sword were two fingers.
“Eek!”
He tried to pull the sword out, but it wouldn’t budge.
Clang-.
With an intense metallic sound, the sword shook violently.
Looking at the tip of the sword to see what happened, the end was bluntly broken off and Jeok Wigang held a piece of the sword between his fingers.
“This is a famous sword though?”
Breaking a famous sword with bare fingers?
And a sword infused with Sword Qi at that?
Does this even make sense?
Whoosh-.
Sword Energy surrounded Wi Garyang’s sword.
“Try blocking this one too!”
Crack-.
But even the sword wrapped in Sword Energy was caught between Jeok Wigang’s two fingers.
Clang-.
“This is insane!”
The sword wrapped in Sword Energy was torn away by bare fingers.
Clatter-.
The sword fragments in Jeok Wigang’s hand clinked together, making noise.
Ting-.
Feeling an ominous sensation, he quickly turned his head to the side.
Swish-.
A hot sensation was felt on his cheek as something flowed down.
When he touched it with his hand, it was red blood.
“Good instincts.”
It wasn’t good instincts.
He deliberately sent a chilling warning and threw the sword fragment.
What should I do?
It doesn’t seem like continuing will work?
The opponent is currently toying with him.
And doing so with far too much leisure at that.
Looking back, Mokjin was standing there with a dazed expression.
Having watched the entire battle between the two from behind, it was understandable.
Seeing Mokjin’s reaction, it didn’t seem to be a dream.
The problem was that even Mokjin, who could have devised a clever plan to resolve this situation, was showing such a reaction, so there seemed to be no solution.
‘Damn it… Yesterday’s dream was definitely good, wasn’t it? They say dreams are the opposite…’
Still, he couldn’t collapse so easily like this.
Shouldn’t he at least struggle?
That way he could at least maintain some dignity in front of his subordinates.
Wi Garyang looked at Jeok Wigang with a resolute expression.
When he said he came to take over Black Blood Gate, it was unbelievable.
But after experiencing the existence called Jeok Wigang, he realized those weren’t empty words.
By the way, if he’s that strong, why on earth were there rumors that he had no internal energy?
Why did Jin Mu Sect leave such a powerful being aside and make the second son the heir, and why did he take the civil service exam?
There were countless questions.
That was something to figure out later. Right now, focusing on Jeok Wigang was the priority.
Wi Garyang spoke in a respectful tone.
“I acknowledge you. From now on, I will face you only with the greatest techniques I possess.”
“Good. Come at me.”
***
“Huff huff huff!”
Wi Garyang, looking completely exhausted and continuously gasping for rough breaths.
He was looking at Jeok Wigang with a fed-up expression.
Even though he had unleashed all the greatest techniques he possessed, Jeok Wigang’s breathing wasn’t disturbed at all.
It meant he wasn’t tired in the slightest.
“Damn it.”
He was truly a monster.
Looking around, the assassins belonging to Black Blood Gate had already been completely suppressed by those who came with Jeok Wigang.
If he was the former Ghost Kill Group leader, he would possess considerable martial power.
An existence that such a Ghost Kill Group leader couldn’t move against.
Having experienced it firsthand, it was understandable.
I had lost completely.
Being absorbed by a stronger opponent was nothing to be ashamed of.
Just as I was about to smile and admit defeat.
“I will submit.”
Huh?
Looking to the side, I saw Mokjin already prostrating himself in a bow.
That bastard?
I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.
That guy was always like that.
Someone who would do anything to survive.
Wi Garyang opened his mouth.
“I have lost. I will follow you.”
With those words, he knelt down.
“Good. That guy over there is a bit annoying. You take care of educating him properly.”
Where Jeok Wigang pointed, there was a flustered Mokjin.
Wi Garyang grinned wickedly and said.
“Leave it to me. I’ll educate him very thoroughly.”
Jeok Wigang nodded and said.
“Clean up and come inside. You know well why I came here, don’t you?”
“Yes. I understand.”
***
Wi Garyang respectfully handed a book to Jeok Wigang.
“All the transaction records with the Cheonhwa Trading Company are contained in there.”
Jeok Wigang opened the book, read it, and smiled.
“So it wasn’t just the Jinmu Trading Company you attacked?”
“That’s correct. All trading companies heading to the fortress were targets for attack.”
“And while doing that, they brazenly departed for trading journeys to other regions?”
“Since there’s no evidence that the Cheonhwa Trading Company did it, the other trading companies would have had no way to stop them. Besides, the Cheonhwa Trading Company belongs to the Tang Family, so they couldn’t act recklessly. The Tang Family’s code is to repay kindness twofold and grudges tenfold.”
“That’s similar to our Jin Mu Sect’s code.”
“Pardon?”
“Kindness twofold, grudges a hundredfold. Our Jin Mu Sect’s code is a bit stronger. Right?”
It seems like he just made that up.
“Well then, shall we go repay grudges according to our code?”
“What do you intend to do?”
At Wi Garyeong’s question, Jeok Wigang smiled wickedly and said.
“We should return exactly what we received. Now, from this moment on, you all will interfere with every single business transaction the Cheonhwa Trading Company conducts. Understood?”
“Should we kill them?”
“Don’t kill them, let them live and send them away. If that really doesn’t work, just bring them all here. Put them in the Jin Mu Trading Company.”
“Pardon?”
“We’re overflowing with injured people because of the Cheonhwa Trading Company, so we’re short on workers. We need to fill the positions.”
“Understood. What will you do about the Tang Family?”
“First, let’s start with the Cheonhwa Trading Company.”
“Are you planning to engage in battle with the Tang Family as well?”
“Battle? Do you think those guys would be my match?”
Wi Garyeong pondered for a moment.
Soon she nodded her head.
“I’ll prepare to attack the Cheonhwa Trading Company.”
***
The Cheonhwa Trading Company, the largest trading company in Sichuan Province.
As you know, the Cheonhwa Trading Company was a trading company operated by the Tang Family.
Tang Ho, the Trading Company Leader of Cheonhwa, was looking at documents while holding his forehead.
“How much damage have we suffered so far?”
“Ten thousand gold taels.”
Bang-!
“Damn it! What were you bastards doing while we lost ten thousand gold taels!”
At Tang Ho’s roar, the leadership of the Cheonhwa Trading Company bowed their heads deeply.
“Just what kind of bastards are they? Did you find out?”
“Ah, we haven’t found out yet.”
“Arghhhh!”
Crash-.
Clatter-.
He swept all the items on the desk away with his hand.
“You useless fools! What the hell are you doing after eating expensive food!”
“We’re, we’re sorry! We’re investigating through every possible means right now.”
“What’s the point of investigating! The methods are the same! The methods!”
“What?”
“It’s exactly the same as the methods we use to attack other trading companies! What do you think this means? It means they’ve figured it out and are attacking us in return! You idiots!”
“How, how could they know that? We didn’t do it directly ourselves and entrusted it to Black Blood Gate, one of the three major assassin organizations in the Central Plains.”
“Then we have our answer. Either Black Blood Gate is taking money from both sides, or they’ve abandoned us and joined hands with those guys.”
“Black Blood Gate would never be that kind of sect. Above all, for an assassin organization where trust is crucial, they would never betray their clients.”
“Really? You think so?”
“Y-yes.”
“Then we need to confirm it for certain, don’t we?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then organize another trading journey. This time I’ll request support from the Tang Family Clan.”
At the Trading Company Leader’s words about requesting support from the Tang Family Clan, the leadership hurriedly left to organize the trading journey.
Left alone, Trading Company Leader Tang Ho muttered quietly.
“I don’t know who you are, but you’ve messed with the wrong opponent. I’ll personally show you that there’s hell in the human world too.”
***
The Tianhua Trading Company departed again.
If this trading journey also failed, the losses would truly be enormous.
Since difficulties for the trading company would greatly affect the family clan’s finances, the Tang Family Clan also sent their elite members.
When they had made full preparations and began crossing the mountain path of Gongjia Mountain, a group wearing masks blocked their way.
The person in charge of the trading journey stepped forward and asked.
“What are you doing? Can’t you see that flag?”
A flag with “Tianhua” written on it was fluttering in the wind blowing through the valley.
“I see it. Tianhua Trading Company.”
“Do you know which family the Tianhua Trading Company belongs to and you’re doing this?”
“I know. It belongs to the Tang Family Clan.”
“You know this and yet you’re blocking our path now?”
“What’s the Tang Family? Should we be scared just because you mention the Tang Family?”
“These bastards!”
The trading company leader spoke in an angry voice, but the opponents only sneered.
“We have no desire to hurt you. So quietly leave your luggage and turn back the way you came. Then you can return safely.”
At those words, a group of warriors who had been quietly listening from behind stepped forward.
The clothes they wore had the character for Tang embroidered on them.
“These methods might have worked well until now, but today you’ve chosen the wrong opponents.”
“Oh! It looks like the Tang Family sent their elites this time? No wonder they looked so imposing.”
They all laughed.
The Tang Family warriors’ expressions twisted.
“You don’t seem to understand the seriousness of the situation, but you’ve touched the Tang Family. Our Tang Family repays grudges tenfold.”
“If you hate grudges so much, why did you rob other trading companies? If you make others shed tears, you should be prepared to shed tears of blood yourselves. Don’t you think?”
“So you came knowing something. Then we can’t let you live.”
“Do you have the skill to kill us?”
“I’ll make that chattering mouth of yours vomit blood soon.”
The Tang Family warriors pushed the trading company back and looked at those blocking the path with fierce expressions.
“I’ll give you a chance. If you tell us who sent you, I’ll kill you without pain.”
“Not spare us?”
The Tang Family warrior smiled coldly.
“If you knew what kind of pain it is, you’d understand what a great mercy it is to be killed without pain. Should I give you a taste after all?”
“Since you’re poison users, you talk about giving us a taste. Poison tastes are all the same anyway. Don’t you think?”
While they were talking, the Tang Family warrior at the front threw something.
What flew to right in front of them in an instant was a black sphere.
Boom-.
Green smoke scattered in all directions from the sphere that exploded immediately.
The moment the thick smoke engulfed the Masked Men.
Whizzzz-.
Countless hidden weapons flew toward the Masked Men.
Could they possibly block the hidden weapons flying at them on the already narrow mountain path with their vision obscured by smoke?
Confident smiles appeared on the lips of the Tang family warriors.
