Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 178
At the Chief Steward’s words, the Blood Thunder Gate Master’s face turned deathly pale.
“You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
“Ah, no. Can’t you just deliver my message to Older Brother once? Tell him I have important business here too.”
“I’m sorry. The people the Gate Master is meeting with right now are here for matters that concern our sect’s future.”
“My friend. I too have come here for matters concerning the Heavenly Sound Sect’s future. So please go and at least deliver my message.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I’ll tell you the details when I meet Older Brother, so please just deliver the message.”
“Hmm. I cannot do that.”
“Why?”
“He gave strict orders to kill anyone who approaches. Even if it were me.”
“Then guide me there. I’ll meet Older Brother directly.”
“I cannot do that. If I did, I would be killed.”
“Listen here. So what I’m saying is…”
Just as the Blood Thunder Gate Master was trying to persuade the Chief Steward.
“Hey hey, stop it.”
The Blood Thunder Gate Master quickly turned around.
“He says he doesn’t want to meet. I think we’ve given him plenty of chances, don’t you?”
“Ju-just give me a little more chance…”
Jin Muryang grinned wickedly, showing his white teeth.
“From now on, I’ll handle this myself.”
Kwaaak-.
“Keuheuk!”
Jin Muryang’s hand grabbed the collar of the Chief Steward in front of him.
“I don’t like talking for long. Where is your Gate Master? Guide me to him.”
“Keuheuk! Wh-what are you doing! Re-release this hand immediately!”
“Oho! You’ve got quite some backbone, don’t you? Good. If you can endure this, I’ll let you go.”
A bluish energy rippled from Jin Muryang’s fingertips.
“Soul Crushing Nerve Severing, First Stage.”
Thud-thud-thud-.
Wherever his fingers tapped, the Chief Steward’s body began to twist grotesquely.
“Gaaahhhhh!”
Bluish veins bulged prominently all over his body, and his pupils swelled as if they would pop out at any moment.
The screaming soon quieted, but judging by his expression, the pain hadn’t disappeared—rather, he was in such extreme agony that he couldn’t even scream.
Jin Muryang kindly explained.
“It’s called Soul Crushing Nerve Severing, a torture technique I created. There are eight stages total, but most people can’t get past the second stage. Let’s see how far you can endure?”
The Chief Steward desperately tried to say something.
“Hm? What’s that?”
As Jin Muryang leaned in to listen, a barely audible voice emerged.
“Any, anything… I’ll… do… please…”
“What? Already? The first stage hasn’t even properly unfolded yet?”
Jin Muryang looked at the Chief Steward with a disappointed expression.
“But I still need to finish the first stage. Don’t you think?”
Tremble-tremble-tremble-.
The Chief Steward’s entire body was shaking violently like an aspen leaf.
The sight was so horrific that even the Blood Thunder Gate Master, who prided himself on having seen all manner of brutal things, squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away.
In that situation, Jin Muryang kindly continued his explanation.
“What’s brilliant about this torture technique is that when it’s over, there’s no damage to the body whatsoever. Isn’t that amazing? Hehehe. So since there’s no risk of the body being ruined or dying during torture, I can enjoy it as much as I want—that’s its greatest advantage.”
What kind of demonic torture technique was this?
To think the body would remain intact even after being tortured.
“I can make anyone I dislike live their entire life feeling that pain.”
It was such a horrific statement that one wouldn’t even want to think about it.
“The person who remained fine even after receiving this torture was….”
There wouldn’t be any.
What is he talking about.
“…Only one person.”
What.
There’s a human who endured that insane torture?
“…Even now, when his body feels stiff sometimes, he asks me to do it for him.”
Isn’t he a madman.
“He says nothing makes his body feel as refreshed as Soul Crushing Nerve Severing? Anyway, except for that person, no one has endured this torture.”
That person?
Is there someone that monster serves?
Moreover, he seems to be stronger than that monster.
He gets massages with that insane torture technique.
“Do you know why I’m telling you this story?”
The Blood Thunder Gate Master shook his head.
“It means I’m nothing. There are many monsters in this world that you can’t even imagine.”
At Jin Muryang’s words, the Blood Thunder Gate Master suddenly felt doubtful.
To think there are super monsters crawling around that even such a monster fears.
The Martial World suddenly became frightening.
About an hour passed.
Tok-tok-tok-.
When Jin Muryang released the blood blade, the Chief Steward collapsed to the ground with a deranged expression, drooling profusely.
Thud-!
Tremble-tremble-tremble-
His body was still trembling, as if the aftereffects of the pain remained.
“Hey, get up.”
The Chief Steward gave no answer.
“If you don’t get up, shall I do it again?”
At Jin Muryang’s words, the Chief Steward convulsed and struggled desperately, trying to get up somehow.
His expression was filled with the will to survive.
“Do you feel like guiding us now?”
The Chief Steward nodded his head vigorously.
“Good. Let’s do well from now on.”
“Yes!”
“Now, guide us.”
“Pl-please follow me.”
The Blood Thunder Gate Master looked pitifully at the back of the Chief Steward as he limped ahead.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you coming? Do you want to have a taste too?”
“What? No, no! I’m coming right now! Let’s go!”
He absolutely did not want to have a taste.
***
Heavenly Sound Gate Master Hyeol Sagwang.
He was smiling with a fishy grin, continuously telling someone about the advantages of the Heavenly Sound Gate.
“This is all we can do for you. Please speak well of me to the Godfather. Tell him how much I care for him.”
“Hehehe. The Godfather knows Gate Master Hyeol’s heart better than anyone, so put aside such worries.”
Hyeol Sagwang smiled brightly at the words that his heart was well understood.
With things going so smoothly, he felt like he could fly with joy.
‘It won’t be long now. The day those people appear in the world again, the people of the Central Plains will look up to our Heavenly Sound Gate. Kukuku.’
Hyeol Sagwang rose from his seat with a pleased smile.
“Come now, let’s stop this headache-inducing talk and go to the banquet hall. Mountain and Sea Delicacies and all kinds of fine alcohol are prepared. Let’s drink and enjoy ourselves all night long.”
“Hehehe. It would be impolite to refuse Gate Master Hyeol’s sincerity. Let’s go.”
As he stepped forward to open the door.
He sensed movement from outside.
Surely he had ordered that no one should approach?
When the annoyed Blood Death Light opened the door, he saw the Chief Steward with a haggard appearance.
“Hm? Why do you look like that?”
“Ga, Gate Master….”
As soon as he saw Blood Death Light, tears of sorrow came pouring down from the Chief Steward.
“Why are you acting like this?”
Blood Death Light was flustered by the Chief Steward’s behavior.
Then a voice was heard from behind.
“Perfect, you came out on your own.”
When he turned his head toward where the voice came from, there was a familiar face together with an unfamiliar face.
“Ki Younger Brother? When did you arrive? And who is that beside you?”
“Ol, Older Brother….”
“Hm?”
“I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
What on earth was he sorry for?
Was he sorry for disturbing him?
Could it be that Younger Brother was the one who made the Chief Steward like this?
“Step aside.”
“Yes….”
When the Blood Thunder Gate Master stepped aside with a respectful posture, he looked even more bewildered.
“Are you the Heavenly Sound Gate Master?”
Speaking informally right off the bat.
Blood Death Light’s expression crumpled.
To show such behavior in front of a guest.
He needed to leave a strong impression on them here.
“Your tongue is short. It seems unnecessary, so I’ll pull it out for you.”
Blood Death Light emitted a red glint in his eyes and reached his hand toward Jin Muryang.
Crack-.
Crunch-.
“Huh?”
What?
Why is my hand broken?
He looked as if he couldn’t understand, but then pain came rushing in.
“Kugh!”
It wasn’t an illusion but reality.
Even after being hit, he couldn’t believe it.
“This bastard attacks out of nowhere while someone’s talking… This makes me look bad when I was trying to have a peaceful conversation.”
Peaceful, he says.
The Chief Steward and the Blood Thunder Gate Master looked at him as if dumbfounded.
What was even more surprising was that he had effortlessly caught Blood Death Light’s strike and even broken his fingers.
Blood Death Light was flustered.
Where did such a master suddenly appear from?
To show such a pathetic state in front of them.
Rage boiled up.
Laughter could be heard from behind.
“Hehehe. Blood Gate Master. It seems we had too high expectations.”
It was a sound of disappointment.
At that, blood-colored mist began rising from Blood Death Light’s body.
The urgent voices of the Chief Steward and Blood Thunder Gate Master could be heard.
“Ahhh! B-Blood Cloud Filling Heaven Technique! Get away!”
As everyone fled in panic, the blood-colored mist engulfed Jin Muryang.
“Impermanent Blood Formation!”
The Blood Mist that wrapped around Jin Muryang swallowed him whole and swirled powerfully as if to tear him to shreds.
Whoosh-.
Easily ignoring the powerfully swirling Blood Mist, a hand shot out, grabbed Blood Death Light’s collar, and dragged him into the swirling Blood Mist.
“Huk!”
The flustered Blood Death Light.
He was about to be hit by his own martial arts.
“Eek!”
He quickly withdrew the martial arts he had deployed.
If he had been even a moment later, his face would have been sliced apart by the martial arts he himself had unleashed.
The moment the Blood Mist disappeared.
Jin Muryang’s opening became visible.
‘That bastard! He let his guard down.’
It seemed he had become careless, thinking he had the upper hand.
Simple martial arts wouldn’t work.
He needed to deploy the strongest martial arts among those he could use immediately.
Blood Death Light didn’t hesitate and immediately gathered his internal power to strike near Jin Muryang’s heart.
“Red Cloud Heart Slash!”
Crack-!
A victorious smile formed on Blood Death Light’s lips.
This was undoubtedly certain.
Now the blood energy that had penetrated his body would tear that bastard’s heart to shreds.
Just suffer and die like that.
While he was imagining Jin Muryang collapsing in agony.
Seeing Jin Muryang watching with a grin, he realized something was wrong.
“That just hurt a little.”
A little?
That shouldn’t just hurt a little?
“I’d like to play with you more if I could, but I’m a bit busy. For now, just enjoy some pain for a while.”
When a bluish energy emerged from Jin Muryang’s hand, the Chief Steward convulsed and fainted on the spot.
What?
What is that thing that makes someone faint just from looking at it?
The moment he was momentarily distracted.
Tototok-.
Extreme pain began to be felt throughout his body, as if massive thorns were forcibly burrowing into his flesh.
“Keurgh!”
As his body began to writhe and Hyeolsagwang suffered in agony, Jin Muryang’s gaze turned elsewhere.
The figures who had been conversing with Hyeolsagwang just moments before stood there with peaceful expressions.
“I originally came here to play with this guy. But seeing you all, my interest has waned.”
Jin Muryang said while licking his lips.
“How should I put it? It’s a feeling that reminds me of the old days?”
A familiar aura was stimulating Jin Muryang.
“What are you bastards?”
The three people showed slight smiles at Jin Muryang’s question.
“We don’t seem to have any obligation to tell you that.”
“Release the Blood Gate Master. If you do, we’ll spare your life after just cutting off your limbs.”
Chilling content flowed from their calm voices.
At this, Jin Muryang’s smile deepened.
“That’s usually my line. It sounds quite different hearing it like this.”
“Hehehe. So in the end, you’re saying you’ll drink the punishment alcohol?”
“Punishment alcohol sounds good. What are the side dishes?”
“Eternal pain. Do you think we’ll let you rest comfortably?”
At those words, Jin Muryang spoke as if delighted.
“Kekeke. The side dishes are excellent! Good!”
He laughed as if pleased, then immediately looked at the three people with a murderous expression and said.
“Even if I kill you bastards, Dae-hyeong won’t say anything.”
Massive killing intent surged from Jin Muryang’s body like demon wings.
“It’s really been a long time since I’ve been this excited.”
