Legend of the Evil Martial God

 

Chapter 161

 

At the unexpected appearance of the jiangshi, Baegun was startled and stopped his movement.

 

At that moment, the first jiangshi that leaped out of the coffin thrust both arms forward like front paws and charged at him.

 

Its speed was so fast that air spread around with a piercing sound, approaching in an instant.

 

Baegun quickly twisted his waist to dodge the jiangshi’s attack, then sent energy to his toes and kicked off the ground.

 

Bang-.

 

With an explosive sound, Baegun’s body shot toward the second jiangshi.

 

“Primordial Style!”

 

The sword light that bloomed from Baegun’s sword pierced through the second jiangshi’s chest.

 

Thud-.

 

The second jiangshi’s chest caved in as it was knocked backward and crashed into a rock.

 

Crash-.

 

Deflecting the rock fragments that scattered everywhere with his sword, he launched his body again toward the jiangshi that had first attacked him.

 

“Flying Dragon in the Sky!”

 

A wave of blue energy rose from Baegun’s sword.

 

Blue flames bloomed at the sword tip as it sliced through the first jiangshi’s body.

 

Crack-.

 

The form of a blue dragon that surged from the sword shot up to the sky, leaving a long trail of blue lightning.

 

Baegun saw the first jiangshi split in half, and through the gap, he could see the necromancer.

 

The bastard was smiling even though his jiangshi had been cut down.

 

Was there another jiangshi?

 

If he cut down that bastard, the other jiangshi wouldn’t be able to move.

 

The moment Baegun readied his sword and was about to move toward the necromancer.

 

Crack-!

 

A heavy pain felt in his shoulder.

 

Baekun’s body staggered for a moment.

 

When he turned his head to look at his shoulder, he saw that his shoulder blade had been pierced by the claws of the second jiangshi he had blown away earlier.

 

His blue martial robe was instantly dyed red, and momentary dizziness surged up, but he pulled himself together and kicked the second jiangshi hard, pushing it away.

 

Baekun’s sword moved toward the jiangshi that had been pushed back.

 

“You monster! I’ll make sure you can’t move again.”

 

As Baekun’s energy became slightly rough, a thunderous roar that seemed to split heaven and earth was heard.

 

“Azure Cloud Heaven Splitter!”

 

The form of an azure dragon that shot out from Baekun’s sword wrapped around the jiangshi’s body.

 

Tugagak-!

 

When the azure dragon that had wrapped around it disappeared, the jiangshi’s arms and legs were severed.

 

Thud-.

 

The jiangshi, left with only its torso, moved its body this way and that.

 

Baekun looked toward the first jiangshi just in case.

 

“What, what’s this?”

 

The body of the first jiangshi that had been split in half was merging back together.

 

If left like this, it would return to its original state.

 

He was about to infuse energy into his sword and move toward it.

 

Grab-.

 

Something grabbed his leg.

 

When he looked down, he saw that a severed arm was gripping Baekun’s leg.

 

“Th, this is…”

 

In the meantime, the jiangshi whose body had reattached rushed toward Baekun with a terrifying momentum.

 

A critical moment.

 

Baekun quickly tried to remove the jiangshi’s arm that was gripping his leg.

 

But it was gripping so tightly that it wouldn’t come off at all.

 

Rip-!

 

Still, he tore his pants to remove the arm and quickly threw his body to the side.

 

Skang-.

 

A sharp sound sliced through the air.

 

The jiangshi’s sharp claws had nearly torn through Baegun’s body.

 

“These monsters that disturb the world! Disappear completely!”

 

Heavenly Ring Single Path

 

Flash-!

 

The sword was swung and instantly all directions became silent.

 

When sound began to return, the jiangshi’s body started splitting into pieces.

 

Splat-.

 

Crash-.

 

The fragmented jiangshi’s body crumbled and scattered on the ground.

 

Baegun sliced up even the jiangshi writhing in the distance and turned his head toward the necromancer.

 

It was only two jiangshi, yet it was this difficult.

 

It wasn’t for nothing that those who used necromancy in the Martial World became public enemies.

 

Now he just needed to deal with that necromancer.

 

How dare he try to destroy the sacred Azure Dragon vein that protects the Qingcheng Sect and handle jiangshi forbidden in the Martial World.

 

He was certainly an existence that should be erased from the world.

 

When Baegun looked at the necromancer, he was still smiling.

 

Suddenly, he felt a chill.

 

Thud-!

 

The same sound as when the coffin fell earlier was heard.

 

The problem was that sound.

 

Thud- Thud thud- Thud thud-.

 

It wasn’t just one or two.

 

He slowly turned his head with a disbelieving expression.

 

“Th, this can’t be…”

 

Dozens of coffins had fallen to the ground.

 

Creak- Creak-.

 

The coffin lids opened and the jiangshi revealed themselves.

 

But their attire was different from the jiangshi they had faced earlier.

 

The jiangshi they had fought just before wore white official robes, but these jiangshi were wearing golden official robes.

 

Was there some difference?

 

Just as he was wondering, the necromancer kindly explained.

 

“Kekeke. To defeat the White Corpses so easily. You are qualified to face the Golden Corpses.”

 

From the necromancer’s words, he could guess that the Golden Corpses were much stronger than the White Corpses.

 

Baek Un gripped his sword tightly and looked toward Jeok Wigang.

 

“Trading Company Leader Jeok! Please escape from this place quickly! I don’t think I can protect you any longer!”

 

Had he not heard Baek Un’s shout?

 

Jeok Wigang did not move.

 

At this, Baek Un felt a sense of realization.

 

Trading Company Leader Jeok must be seeing jiangshi for the first time.

 

His body had frozen from the shocking sight.

 

He was strong but still young, wasn’t he.

 

How could he not have thought of that.

 

Then he had to protect him.

 

Baek Un gritted his teeth.

 

He was the benefactor who had saved the Qingcheng Sect.

 

He would absolutely not let him die in this place.

 

Meanwhile, the Golden Corpses began to move.

 

Not just two like before, but dozens of Golden Corpses.

 

Moreover, they were jiangshi even more powerful than the ones they had faced earlier.

 

“The Dao gives birth to nothing.”

 

In the grim situation, he unconsciously recited the Dao chant.

 

Still, he had to do his best.

 

For his benefactor.

 

And to protect the Qingcheng Sect.

 

Woong woong woong-.

 

Blue energy rippled across Baek Un’s sword.

 

At that moment, the Golden Corpses from all directions rushed toward Baek Un in unison.

 

Their speed was so fast that he couldn’t respond to them all.

 

But still, he had to try.

 

The ultimate technique of the Azure Dragon Soul Origin Sword.

 

“Soul Origin Unity !”

 

The realm where sword, dao, and human become one.

 

As Baegun’s sword tip stretched toward the sky, azure energy shot upward.

 

The soaring light dyed the clouds blue, and soon countless azure dragons descended from within the clouds as if swimming.

 

Kwakwakwakwang-!

 

The azure dragons flew toward the jiangshi rushing at Baegun and soon exploded with thunderous roars.

 

Hudududuk-.

 

The shattered jiangshi body parts poured down from the void like rain.

 

“Huk huk… huk…!”

 

Having just used his final martial technique, his internal power was temporarily depleted.

 

Right now, at this moment, if the necromancer attacked him, he would be helplessly defeated.

 

But fortunately, the necromancer didn’t seem to notice.

 

If he could just wait a little longer like this, his internal power would recover.

 

However.

 

Before his internal power could recover, he saw something rapidly gathering together.

 

“Wh-what is that?”

 

The fragments that had fallen to the ground began gathering in one place as if drawn by magnets, then instantly started restoring back into jiangshi.

 

The restoration speed was faster than the speed at which his internal power was filling, so at this rate, something truly terrible would happen.

 

‘Oh no… I only came out to investigate, so I left the Soul Origin Elixir behind.’

 

He was in a state without any elixir that could instantly replenish his internal power.

 

He wore a dejected expression as he looked at the jiangshi that had already returned to their original forms.

 

What should he do?

 

At least the Trading Company Leader should evacuate.

 

He turned his head, but the Trading Company Leader was nowhere to be seen.

 

Where did he go?

 

He turned his head again.

 

Huh?

 

The Trading Company Leader was heading toward the necromancer.

 

Baegun was mistaken.

 

He’s trying to divert the necromancer’s attention to help him.

 

The necromancer seemed so focused on him that he hadn’t yet noticed the Trading Company Leader approaching.

 

Then he needed to make sure the attention stayed even more concentrated on himself.

 

His internal power wasn’t fully charged, but if the Trading Company Leader got caught while staying like this, it could be dangerous.

 

Whoosh-.

 

He steadied his breathing and forcibly drew up his internal power.

 

“Kahahaha! Struggle all you want! You’ll never be able to escape from my jiangshi!”

 

The necromancer was enjoying watching Baek Un’s desperate fight.

 

This was exactly what brought him joy.

 

The sight of them struggling like insects trying to survive.

 

While he was enjoying himself like that.

 

“How about you stop?”

 

The necromancer was startled by the voice that suddenly rang out.

 

“Huh! What, what?”

 

When he turned his head in surprise, Jeok Wigang was there.

 

“What are you? Wh-when did you get here?”

 

“Just now. You didn’t notice because you were focused over there?”

 

He looked at Jeok Wigang with a surprised expression, then soon smirked.

 

“How ridiculous. You should have snuck up and attacked me. It’s too late now? Since I’ve noticed you came.”

 

“It’s not too late, is it? Stop those hideous things. If you want to die peacefully.”

 

“What? Puhahaha! Are you threatening me right now?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

“Why? Do I look like I’m powerless without jiangshi?”

 

“Yeah. You look like you’d die from just one hit.”

 

“Kekekeke. Everyone who looked down on me like that and attacked ended up like that.”

 

Where the necromancer pointed, the jiangshi could be seen attacking Baek Un.

 

“Should I turn you into a jiangshi like that? Or should I make you into a white jiangshi? Just say the word.”

 

“You sure talk a lot.”

 

Crack-.

 

Thud-.

 

The necromancer was momentarily staring blankly at the ground.

 

What?

 

Why am I looking at the ground?

 

What?

 

Why is my cheek stinging?

 

What just happened?

 

He was dumbfounded.

 

He slowly raised his head to look at Jeok Wigang.

 

“You really are a weakling. Falling down from just one slap.”

 

Weakling?

 

Me?

 

Grind-.

 

Those were the words he hated hearing most in the world.

 

Weakling.

 

The necromancer glared at Jeok Wigang with murderous intent in his blackened eyes as he slowly rose from his position.

 

“I’ll turn you into a jiangshi and use you as my servant.”

 

Despite threatening to turn him into a jiangshi and use him as a servant, The Man in front of him showed no signs of being shaken and asked the necromancer.

 

“I’m curious about something – if your body gets cut like those jiangshi over there, does it reattach too?”

 

Was he calling that a question right now?

 

The necromancer blinked and stared blankly at Jeok Wigang.

 

“Don’t just stare like that, you should answer.”

 

Right now, in this situation, was he curious about such things?

 

Whether he becomes a jiangshi or not.

 

When they’re standing at the crossroads of life and death?

 

He seems to have no awareness at all.

 

Soon the necromancer’s expression twisted.

 

“Are you trying to play games with me right now?”

 

“No, it’s not a game, I’m genuinely curious. No, more than that… you are human, right? How should I put it… it feels like you’re not.”

 

“If you’re so curious, find out for yourself!”

 

“Huh? Really? That’s okay? Got it.”

 

What does he mean he got it?

 

What an annoying bastard.

 

He thought there was no need to turn him into a jiangshi—he should just kill him outright.

 

As the necromancer stretched his hand forward, the air rippled.

 

At the same time.

 

Thud thud thump-.

 

Three black paulownia coffins fell in front of Jeok Wigang.

 

Crack-.

 

Jiangshi burst through the coffins and charged menacingly toward Jeok Wigang.

 

“Tear him apart! Devour him! Don’t leave a single piece of flesh!”

 

Swoosh swoosh swoosh-.

 

Three jiangshi pounced on Jeok Wigang.

 

At that sight, the necromancer burst into loud laughter.

 

“Kahahaha! That’s right! Well done! Eat everything without leaving anything!”

 

Just as he was enjoying himself with maniacal laughter.

 

BOOM-!

 

With an intense explosion, all three jiangshi vanished in an instant.

 

“Huh?”

 

The necromancer stared blankly at where the jiangshi had been just moments before.

 

“Damn it! So filthy.”

 

Jeok Wigang’s irritated voice could be heard as he brushed off his clothes.

 

“How on earth?”
