Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 153
Tang Baikho looked toward Jeok Wigang and asked Tang Pae.
“Is it really true?”
“Th-that is…”
Judging by Tang Pae’s reaction, it seemed to be true.
“Hah…”
The renowned Tang Family had been toyed with by someone who had barely passed his coming of age?
This was something that could never be overlooked.
“Who are you?”
“I am the Trading Company Leader of Jinmu Trading Company.”
“Jinmu Trading Company?”
Tang Baikho looked at Tang Pae.
“It’s the trading company we had friction with.”
“Pathetic fool.”
Tang Baikho pointed to the surroundings and said to Jeok Wigang.
“What will you do about this? Do you think you can escape safely after turning the Tang Family into this state?”
“Your words are mistaken.”
“What?”
“It’s not that I’m escaping safely, but rather that the Tang Family survived safely. Because I showed mercy.”
“Mercy? You damned bastard!”
Thick killing intent surged from the hot-tempered Tang Baikho’s body.
He was ready to charge at any moment.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
“You fools? Won’t you step aside?”
“We cannot step aside!”
“That’s right! We cannot step aside, even to protect the Tang Family!”
“Fine! Then I’ll deal with you lot first.”
A fiery aura swept over Dan Pae and Dan Un.
“Urgh! F-Father! Please calm down!”
“Grandfather!”
“Get out of the way before you see something worse!”
“We cannot!”
Dan Baekho frowned and finally used force.
Puff puff pung-.
Crash clang-.
Dan Pae and Dan Un were sent flying by Dan Baekho’s powerful energy.
Though it pained his heart to see his son and grandson knocked away, there was no choice.
“You made my son and grandson like this! I won’t let you get away with it!”
Dan Baekho blamed all his resentment on Jeok Wigang after sending them flying himself.
Something glittering scattered from Dan Baekho’s entire body into the air, spreading like a silver curtain.
It wasn’t a curtain but countless silver needles.
“Die! Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain!”
The Tang Family’s strongest martial art that placed Dan Baekho in the position of one of the Eight Emperors, Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain, unfolded toward Jeok Wigang as countless silver needles poured down like rain.
He chuckled softly as he watched the countless silver needles flying toward him.
What an impatient person.
To unleash his strongest martial art right away against someone he was meeting for the first time.
Jeok Wigang’s fist shot toward the incoming silver needles.
Kwauuuu-.
Puhak-!
Powerful fist wind exploded outward, scattering the silver needles that had been flying with terrifying momentum in all directions.
Dan Baekho’s eyes widened like lanterns.
“Th-this is impossible.”
It was none other than Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain.
Each of those silver needles contained his own energy, so ordinary martial arts couldn’t even deflect them, let alone block them.
Yet that bastard had blown away all those needles with a single punch.
Though he had considered him no ordinary opponent since he was still alive after reducing the Tang Family to this state, the reality exceeded his imagination.
Standing there dazed for just a moment, Jeok Wigang’s voice was heard from a close distance.
“Please sleep for a moment.”
“What?”
Thud-.
“Kugh!”
The heavy impact felt in his abdomen spread throughout his entire body, and his consciousness began to fade.
He tried not to lose consciousness, but it was useless.
It was Dang Baekho who collapsed on the spot with an expression of disbelief.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
Dang Pae and Dang Un rushed over in shock and checked Dang Baekho’s pulse.
“Phew. He just fainted.”
“That’s a relief.”
Dang Pae and Dang Un let out sighs of relief and looked at Jeok Wigang.
“It seemed like he would keep going if I left him alone.”
“Thank you. For using the Suppression Technique.”
Dang Pae was amazed.
Suppression is harder than killing, yet he had subdued one of the One Emperor Eight Kings in a single strike.
And that was after deflecting the Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain with his bare Fist Attack.
This made it truly sink in.
He should have listened to Dang Un’s words from the beginning.
Dang Pae was filled with regret.
***
“Ugh.”
Dang Baekho, who had regained consciousness, held his head and got up from his spot.
“That was a terrible nightmare.”
He frowned and shook his head as if he never wanted to think about it again.
“Father!”
“Grandfather!”
When he turned his head at the sound of voices calling him, Dangpae and Dangun were sitting there with worried expressions.
“Why are you boys sitting there with such expressions? Grandfather is fine. I just had a nightmare for a moment.”
“A nightmare?”
“Hehe. It was such an absurd dream just thinking about it. No, even for a dream, it was something that made no sense.”
“What kind of dream was it?”
“Well, our Tang Family was devastated by some strange guy, and you boys were struggling helplessly against That Guy. So I got angry and unleashed the Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain, you know? But this bastard blew away my Ten Thousand Heavenly Flower Rain with a single Fist Attack, what’s that about? And I even fainted from That Guy’s single Fist Attack. Even though it’s a dream, does this make any sense?”
Dangbaekho shook his head with a laugh as if it was ridiculous.
“Um… Father.”
“Yes.”
“That wasn’t a dream.”
“Huh?”
“I said that wasn’t a dream.”
“It wasn’t a dream? If such an absurd thing wasn’t a dream, are you saying it was reality?”
The shock must have been great.
Anyone could see he was escaping from reality.
“All of that is what Father experienced.”
At Dangpae’s words, Dangbaekho stared blankly with a shocked expression.
Then he spoke while stammering.
“Wh-what do you mean? Then, this nonsensical thing was reality?”
“Yes, Father. You fainted and just woke up now.”
“Nonsense!”
Dangbaekho refused to accept it.
Just then, the door opened and Jeok Wigang entered.
“Oh! You, you…”
Dangbaekho pointed his finger at Jeok Wigang who had entered and was horrified.
“Seeing you so spirited right after waking up, it seems there’s nothing seriously wrong.”
“What? Wrong? I was careless. Let’s fight again.”
It seemed like if he wasn’t properly acknowledged, he would continue to throw tantrums like this.
“As much as you want. Shall we go outside?”
“Fine!”
Tang Baikho snorted angrily as he got up from his seat and led the way outside.
Tang Pae and Tang Un, who knew Tang Baikho’s personality well, couldn’t bring themselves to stop him and could only fidget anxiously.
Tang Pae approached Jeok Wigang and pleaded.
“Please go easy on him.”
Jeok Wigang smiled wryly and said.
“Don’t worry. I may not look it, but I do respect my elders.”
It was absurd.
Someone who respects elders would subdue an elderly person with one move and knock them unconscious?
Then again, that elderly person wasn’t ordinary, so perhaps that was the best approach.
“Then I’ll trust only in Trading Company Leader Jeok.”
“Yes.”
***
A figure in rags, breathing heavily.
It was none other than Tang Baikho, the Supreme Family Head of the Tang Family.
“You… are you really human?”
“Hey. Isn’t it quite rude to ask a person if they’re human?”
“I am one of the One Emperor Eight Kings, the Ten Thousand Poison King.”
“I know that.”
“My specialty is poison. I’m called the Ten Thousand Poison King because I can freely handle ten thousand different poisons.”
“I know that too.”
Veins bulged on Tang Baikho’s forehead.
“Then why! Why don’t any of my poisons work on you! Why!”
It was truly maddening.
Jeok Wigang had clearly inhaled all the poison he had released, yet remained perfectly fine.
“The poison must have been weak.”
Dan Baekho staggered at Jeok Wigang’s words.
Weak?
That could never be the case.
The poison he wielded wasn’t just some common poison found anywhere in the world.
It was Dan Baekho’s exclusive poison, created through research upon research.
Naturally, only he possessed the antidote.
But that poison didn’t work on this bastard.
He had shaken out and fed him every poison he had, yet he was perfectly fine.
How was this possible?
“Don’t tell me… are you immune to all poisons?”
“Well? Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever been poisoned or anything like that even when consuming poison.”
“Crazy!”
Immunity to all poisons at that age?
No, more than that, immunity to all poisons was actually possible?
What was even more absurd was that this bastard wasn’t just strong against poison.
That ridiculous body of his.
That was truly cheating.
When this crazy bastard first said he’d go easy on him, he was so angry he thought his eyes would roll back.
He had mobilized all his strength and martial arts to attack and sever his limbs, but he was perfectly fine.
This bastard’s limbs were unharmed while only the sword broke.
“It’s not the Vajra Indestructible Body, is it?”
“Well? Come to think of it… I don’t think I’ve ever been injured either.”
Immunity to all poisons and the Vajra Indestructible Body?
He resented the heavens.
Why did they send down such a monster?
‘Woon-ah…’
The most outstanding martial talent in the Tang Family’s history had been born.
He thought the Tang Family would finally produce someone who could be the best under heaven.
But Beyond the Heavens stood in the way.
So was his strength weak then?
That wasn’t the case either.
Those tremendous fists.
Those were truly cheating.
Each punch, each blow was a shock that felt like it would knock his soul away.
But what was even more infuriating was that this wasn’t even this bastard’s full power.
I’m so exhausted I feel like I’m about to collapse, but that bastard’s breathing remains steady.
Now I understand.
Why Dang Pae and Dang Un tried so hard to stop me.
Dang Baekho asked Jeok Wigang.
“Are you… an enemy of the Tang Family?”
At that question, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“I almost became one, didn’t I? We negotiated well and settled things, and I even formed a friendship with Dang Un, so I’m not an enemy. Of course… if you choose to antagonize me, that would be a different story.”
Jeok Wigang’s atmosphere suddenly changed.
At that cold aura, Dang Baekho waved his hands frantically.
“N-no, no. No matter how shitty my temper is, I’m not foolish enough to make you my enemy.”
“That’s fortunate.”
Dang Baekho let out a sigh of relief.
The thought that he had almost ruined what Dang Pae and Dang Un had barely managed to appease sent chills down his spine.
That monster truly possessed the power to annihilate the Tang Family.
“Now that you seem to understand me, why don’t you head back? Your family members must be worried.”
“Right. I understand. Let’s go.”
***
Returning home, Dang Baekho was told about the details of the negotiation with Jeok Wigang.
“Ugh.”
After hearing the contents, a groan escaped him involuntarily.
Everything related to the Maritime War was his doing, wasn’t it?
They say if you commit sins, you’ll pay the price someday.
The most terrifying existence had come to collect that price.
Normally, he would never have acknowledged it, but since his opponent was Jeok Wigang, he had no choice but to accept it.
Before issuing the formal public apology, there was one more matter that needed to be handled.
Namely, the government office.
Since they had joined hands with the government office to pressure the Maritime War, they were accomplices too.
The problem was that if the Tang Family alone revealed all the truth about the Maritime War without any prior discussion, it would put the government office in an awkward position.
If relations with the government office soured, it would certainly not be good for the Tang Family either, so it was a difficult situation.
That’s when Jeok Wigang stepped forward.
“I’ll handle the government office.”
Tang Baikho laughed.
“You fool. The government office isn’t a place you can mess with carelessly. If you make a mistake, the principle of non-interference with officials could be broken.”
“Don’t worry about that. I’m also an official.”
“W-wait! So, you’re saying you’re both the Jinmu Trading Company Leader and an official? Is that possible?”
“It’s possible for me.”
“How?”
“Because the Emperor permitted it.”
“Th-the Emperor permitted it?”
Didn’t that mean he also had connections with the Emperor?
But being an official didn’t solve all problems.
The opponent was none other than the fortress lord who governed Sichuan Province.
The fortress lord’s official rank was Second Grade Sichuan Provincial Inspector.
To deal with a Second Grade official position, one needed to be at least First Grade, but the only First Grade official position was the Governor of the Five Barbarian Governor’s Residence.
