Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 157
Tang Baikho confirmed that he was truly Gwimyeol Shin Ma and raised his energy while being on guard against him.
Jin Muryang grinned wickedly as he looked at Tang Baikho who was hostile toward him.
“You seem to have become stronger than before.”
“Of course! I endured hardships while thinking of you bastards!”
“I’d like to see how much stronger you’ve become, but…”
Jin Muryang looked toward Jeok Wigang.
At that sight, Tang Baikho showed a surprised expression.
“W-wait…”
Didn’t he clearly call him younger brother earlier?
That meant.
“You accepted Gwimyeol Shin Ma as your younger brother?”
When Jeok Wigang nodded, Tang Baikho unconsciously stepped backward.
He felt his mind going blank.
“Do you know what kind of relationship that bastard has with the Martial World?”
“Yes. I know very well. He was also enemies with our grandfather, right?”
“Grandfather?”
“Don’t you know? Our father is the Heavenly Martial Emperor’s youngest son.”
“Ah!”
That’s right.
He had been so outraged that they dared to set foot in Sichuan territory that he attacked the Jinmu Trading Company without thinking, and only later observed Heavenly Martial City’s reaction.
Since there was no particular reaction from Heavenly Martial City, he thought they had indeed severed ties as rumored, but seeing him call him grandfather, it seemed they hadn’t cut ties with the Heavenly Martial Emperor after all.
That meant he had almost become enemies with Heavenly Martial City as well.
At that thought, goosebumps rose all over his body.
“D-does the Heavenly Martial Emperor also know that you’ve taken that bastard as your younger brother?”
“Yes.”
Tang Baikho was startled by Jeok Wigang’s answer.
“What? Ah, you know about them?”
He nodded and said.
“Not only do I know about them, but I’ve met and fought them directly.”
“Y-you met them?”
Why are you still alive if you met them?
He looked at Jin Muryang with that expression.
Then an even more frightening thought occurred to him.
Somehow he felt like Younger Brother didn’t just have Gwimyeol Shin Ma alone.
“By, by any chance. Do you… also know the other Four Heavenly Demon Gods?”
When Tang Baikho asked cautiously, Jeok Wigang nodded.
“Yes. I’ve taken all those guys under my wing.”
“Huh…”
The Four Heavenly Demon Gods who had driven the Central Plains Martial World into terror.
He thought they had suddenly disappeared somewhere, but they had been absorbed under the Monster.
Tang Baikho glanced at Jin Muryang.
Then he looked at Jeok Wigang.
It seemed like a good thing actually.
Since it was none other than Jeok Wigang who had them, they absolutely wouldn’t be able to cause trouble.
Anyway, it felt truly amazing.
To make those terrifying Four Heavenly Demon Gods into his own people.
If they were well-tamed under Jeok Wigang, there was no need to be afraid.
As his tension eased, his curiosity as a martial artist arose.
He had become stronger than before.
Indeed, if he faced Gwimyeol Shin Ma, how far could he go?
Could he win?
Tang Baikho kept rolling his eyes as he looked at Jin Muryang.
At this, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Why? Do you want to fight him once?”
“Ah, no, it’s not that… I was just curious about how much difference there is between then and now.”
To this, Jin Muryang answered.
“There’s no difference. As much as you’ve gotten stronger, I’ve gotten stronger too. If you really want to, try fighting that guy coming over there. You probably have deeper ties with him anyway.”
That guy coming over there?
Someone was approaching at high speed from the direction Jin Muryang was pointing.
“Dae-hyeong.”
It was Ye Yahyeon, who had returned from running an errand for Jeok Wigang.
“Right. Did you properly convey the situation here to Father?”
“Yes.”
“What did he say?”
“He permits the Jin Mu Trading Company and Cheonhwa Trading Company to become brothers. He said to tell the Tang family head that he’s sorry he couldn’t meet in person for such an important matter.”
“Did you hear that?”
Tang Baikho and Tang Pae nodded their heads.
For Tang Baikho, that wasn’t what was important right now.
What Jin Muryang had just said was more important.
Ye Yahyeon tilted his head, seeing Tang Baikho staring at him intently.
“Why are you staring at me so intently?”
“That guy over there said you have deep connections with me… Are you also one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods?”
At Tang Baikho’s words, Ye Yahyeon frowned and looked at Jin Muryang.
He sighed while looking at Jin Muryang, who was chuckling as if amused, then looked at Jeok Wigang.
“What? Tell the truth.”
“Is it really okay to do so?”
“What’s the problem? It’s something he needs to know anyway, isn’t it? This actually works out well. Let’s cleanly settle past matters and move on.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon finally acknowledged Tang Baikho.
“Your poison arts seem to have improved considerably compared to before?”
“You… So you really were the Poison Life Demon God.”
“It’s been a long time.”
Tang Baikho nodded his head.
“You have the look of someone who wants to confirm something?”
“I’m curious how well I could face you with my current strength.”
“Hmm.”
“But now doesn’t seem to be the right time. After I become stronger with the Heart Method that Trading Company Leader Jeok gave me, I’ll formally request a duel.”
Ye Yahyeon said with a slight smile.
“Good. I look forward to that day.”
Jeok Wigang sent a sound transmission to Ye Yahyeon.
– I modified your heart method and passed it on.
– What?
Ye Yahyeon looked at Jeok Wigang with a surprised expression.
Soon he chuckled and nodded his head.
– You did well. I’m looking forward to it. How strong they’ll become.
Hearing that they would become stronger with his heart method, Ye Yahyeon felt some inexplicable sense of kinship and grew fond of the Tang family.
Tang Baikho looked at Jeok Wigang and said.
“What about the other two?”
“I haven’t found them yet. They’re hiding somewhere very well.”
“They won’t be dangerous, will they?”
Jeok Wigang smiled coldly.
“If they try that, I won’t let them be.”
It was reassuring.
The most reassuring thing in the world.
But they couldn’t rely on Jeok Wigang for everything.
That would lead to complacency, and complacency would naturally become a shortcut to the family clan’s downfall.
Tang Baikho said to Tang Pae.
“Family head. It seems tremendous turbulent times are coming. From now on, mobilize everything the Tang family has to maximize our power.”
“Yes, Father.”
Tang Baikho said to Jeok Wigang.
“Could you perhaps take care of Uneui for us?”
It seemed like sending her to stay by Jeok Wigang’s side would make her stronger faster than training her at the Tang family.
“My training methods are a bit rough… Would that be alright?”
“Even if it’s rough, you won’t kill her, right?”
“That’s right. If she dies, it would be a waste of what I taught her.”
“Then that’s fine. I entrust Tang Un to you.”
Tang Baikho, who never bowed his head to anyone, lowered his head to someone for the first time.
With his head bowed, he spoke.
“And thank you so much for sparing our Tang family.”
“From now on, live virtuously. If I hear any bad rumors, our relationship is over.”
“I understand. I’ll establish it as family law and enforce it thoroughly.”
“Then that’s settled.”
***
“Really? I can follow you, Older Brother?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words asking him to come along, Tang Un smiled brightly with joy.
“Yes. If you’re fine with it, I’m planning to take you with me.”
“I’m absolutely fine with it! No, rather, I should be the one asking for this favor, so I’m just grateful that you brought it up first.”
“Let’s get along well from now on.”
“Yes! I’ll follow you with all my heart and sincerity, Older Brother.”
At Tang Un’s words, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
Indeed, would it only be good?
Before long, cries of anguish would flow from those lips.
“But Older Brother, you’re selling weapons here?”
“Yeah. Since I came all this way, I should sell something before leaving.”
“You said Grandfather and Father both told you it was fine to sell everything.”
“Before I came, there wouldn’t have been much damage to the Tang family, but now I’m the one selling. If I do that, your Tang family will be ruined.”
“I heard that everything was made by you, Older Brother.”
“That’s right. Well, it’s nothing special. Ah!”
Jeok Wigang handed over something nicely wrapped.
“Here, this is a gift. I’m giving it to you as thanks for helping things end well without escalating.”
“What do you mean? It was because of your generosity that our family clan was safe. I should be the one thanking you instead.”
“Just say ‘thank you’ and accept it when your older brother gives you something.”
“Yes! Thank you.”
He really listens well.
When he unwrapped the rolled cloth cover, what emerged was a sword emitting beautiful radiance.
It was more of a work of art than a sword.
At first glance, it looked incredibly expensive.
“H-Older Brother! Th-this looks incredibly expensive!”
“It only looks that way on the outside, the material costs weren’t that much. Don’t feel burdened and take it.”
“Th-thank you.”
Relieved by the words that the material costs weren’t much, he drew the sword to examine it.
Shing-.
Tang Un gazed at the drawn sword blade with hazy eyes.
Then he was startled and came to his senses, asking Jeok Wigang.
“Wh-what is this?”
“What do you mean, it’s a sword I made.”
“Y-you made this, Older Brother? This sword itself… I can feel spirituality from it?”
“Really? I put it in as a test, seems it went in properly.”
Put in?
What?
Surely he didn’t mean he put in spirituality?
He was afraid to ask.
But that energy rippling on the sword surface was definitely spirituality.
Even a familiar and warm energy.
This was the energy of poison.
Surely it wasn’t the Ten Thousand Poison Spirituality, said to be the source of all poisons?
He touched the rippling energy with his hand.
Then the energy rippled as if pleased.
It felt as if it were alive.
Seeing this, Jeok Wigang chuckled.
“That sword has acknowledged you as its master. If anyone other than you touches it, it could poison them to death, so guard it well.”
“What?”
Tang Un looked at the sword again, startled by Jeok Wigang’s words.
A sword that recognizes its master.
Didn’t that mean this sword was a Divine Sword?
“O-Older Brother. I cannot accept something so precious.”
“If you don’t take it? I’ll have to melt it down.”
“What? Something so precious?”
“Then where else would I use it? No one else besides you would be acknowledged as its master anyway.”
“Still… is it really okay for me to receive something so precious?”
“It’s not that precious. I told you the material costs weren’t much.”
It doesn’t seem like the material cost is the issue.
Just how was it made for the sword to have spiritual essence?
“You can come up with the name yourself.”
It doesn’t even have a name.
Tang Un stroked the sword surface again and muttered.
“I’ll give you a name.”
After pondering for a moment, he opened his eyes and spoke to the sword.
“With the meaning of being the source of all poisons, I’ll call you Dokhwon .”
Hum hum hum-.
When he gave it a name, the sword rang out joyfully.
“You little thing. Are you that happy? I’m happy too. From now on… please take care of me.”
Hum hum hum-.
Just holding it brought him joy.
The desire to quickly train with this fellow surged within him.
When he looked up, Jeok Wigang was nowhere to be seen and he was alone.
Tang Un chuckled softly.
He must have left in case I said I’d give it back.
Click-.
Tang Un sheathed the sword and stood up from his seat, making a vow to himself.
He would definitely become stronger and stronger, become the second strongest under heaven, and protect his older brother’s side.
***
The first day that Jinmu Trading Company began selling goods in Sichuan territory.
The Tang family was the first to purchase and bring back weapons.
“This is incredible…”
The Tang family members continuously exclaimed in admiration while looking at the weapons placed on the table.
“Every single one is a famous sword and famous blade.”
“The blade energy is so tremendous that just looking at it feels like my flesh is being cut.”
Tang Pae also stuck out his tongue and showed a surprised expression.
“I thought it wouldn’t be an ordinary item since the Trading Company Leader made it… But this exceeds my imagination.”
“If such tremendous items enter the Emei Sect or Qingcheng Sect, our position might become narrower.”
“Hmm.”
“We must immediately purchase all the weapons that Jinmu Trading Company is selling!”
