Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 24

 

 

 

There were those who barely managed to avoid his attack, and those were the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.

From the shock of that time, Jeok Mugun trained his martial arts even more intensively, and the One Stroke Heavenly Martial he was now unleashing on Jeok Wigang was the completed form of that training.

Suddenly, Jeok Mugun thought.

Wait, that bastard has no internal energy to begin with, right?

Can I catch that bastard with just the aftershock?

That aftershock is no weak thing either.

It’s an ultra-high-speed storm that sweeps through with enough force to annihilate everything.

Everything caught within it gets torn to shreds and decomposed like dust.

But he had a feeling that such a tremendous storm wouldn’t work on Jeok Wigang, and his premonition was correct.

Jeok Wigang walked out naked, casually brushing the dust off his body as if nothing had happened.

 

“Taecheon, bring me some clothes.”

“Yes, sir!”

 

Taecheon immediately took out clothes and ran to Jeok Wigang to dress him.

After putting on all his clothes, Jeok Wigang spoke to Jeok Mugun.

 

“You’ve finished all three attacks, right?”

“Y-yes.”

 

It was unbelievable.

To be perfectly fine after taking his full power.

Was he dreaming right now?

Or was it because of the Illusion Formation spread throughout Biun Valley?

As he stood there with a dazed expression, Jeok Wigang smiled and suddenly bowed.

What kind of trick is this now?

 

“What are you doing?”

“I’m greeting Grandfather? Have you been well, Grandfather?”

“Yes. I was actually curious about that. Why do you keep calling me Grandfather from earlier?”

 

At Jeok Mugun’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.

 

“My father’s name is Jeok Rihyeon.”

“What?”

 

Jeok Mugun’s pupils shook violently.

 

“Then you are?”

“I’m the eldest, called Jeok Wigang.”

“Is your father really Jeok Rihyeon? Jeok Rihyeon, the Gate Master of Jin Mu Sect?”

“That’s correct, Grandfather.”

 

Damn.

He thought the second son was a genius and came to take him, but now he sees the second son wasn’t the problem.

The eldest was just a monster.

To think that an existence that even he, the number one under heaven and the Heavenly Martial Emperor who defeated the Four Heavenly Demon Gods, couldn’t handle was his own grandson.

If this guy became the lord of Heavenly Martial City?

No one would dare to approach.

The only regret was that he had no dantian and couldn’t learn internal energy.

It didn’t matter.

In Jeok Mugun’s opinion, there was no being anywhere in the Central Plains that could defeat that bastard.

His worries had also disappeared.

He had been worried about what would happen if this monster became corrupted, but there was no need for that anymore.

He was his grandson.

He would absolutely never become corrupted.

The monster he had never experienced before in his life was his own grandson.

Laughter came out.

The wounded pride in his heart flew far away.

 

“You said earlier you’d grant anything, right?”

“Yes. Say anything. If you ask for Heavenly Martial City, I’ll give it to you.”

“No. I don’t need it. I’m going to make Jin Mu Sect strong.”

“Huh?”

 

To say he didn’t need it when offered Heavenly Martial City.

To say he’d develop something like Jin Mu Sect.

It was infuriating.

But he couldn’t say anything about it.

He was the one who needed something.

 

“Then what do you want?”

“Please acknowledge Father.”

“What?”

“It’s true, isn’t it? With me, whom even Grandfather can’t handle, and my second brother who reached the pinnacle before even turning twenty. If he raised such sons, shouldn’t you acknowledge him now?”

“T-that’s right?”

“Then please go to Father and formally acknowledge him.”

“Ah, alright.”

“Oh! Please keep quiet about my power to Father.”

“Why?”

“He doesn’t know.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

“Then when are you going home?”

“After taking the regional examination.”

“Regional examination? You mean the civil service exam?”

“Yes.”

“You’re taking the civil service exam?”

“Yes.”

“With such tremendous power?”

“The regional examination is an excuse, I’m actually touring the Central Plains. Well, it would be a lie to not take it at all, so I’m planning to take it.”

“I see? Then can I travel with you too?”

“Pardon?”

“You’re going to wander around and then go home anyway. It would be nice to go together.”

“Then would you like to do that?”

 

I thought he would refuse, but he actually likes it.

 

“I like it. Traveling with Grandfather. That sounds nice.”

 

Huh. Look at this kid?

He’s got some nerve too?

Though this is the first time I’ve met my grandson today, I liked him.

How long has it been since I laughed so comfortably?

 

“But why are you going this way? This is the direction of Biun Valley?”

“Ah, there’s something I need to find.”

“Something to find?”

“Yes. Traces of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”

“Why are you looking for that?”

“Ah, I need to find them.”

“Then let’s look together. This old man needs to find those bastards too.”

“Sounds good.”

 

 

 

We searched Biun Valley thoroughly, but no traces of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods were visible.

There were some traces left of groups that had served the Four Heavenly Demon Gods before, but even those were old.

Still, the place was decent enough to spend the night, so we decided to unpack our things and stay there.

While Taecheon was preparing dinner, Jeok Mugun was sparring with Jeok Wigang.

 

Whoosh- Whung whung-.

 

Jeok Mugun was attacking with all his might, but couldn’t land a single hit.

 

“Are you really sure you don’t have internal energy?”

“You checked yourself.”

“Then why are you so fast!”

“I’m moving slowly considering Grandfather.”

 

What a crazy monster.

Where does that look like moving slowly?

No matter how much he unleashed the Heavenly Martial Lightning Step at full power, he couldn’t even touch a thread of Jeok Wigang’s clothes.

 

“Don’t just dodge, try attacking too.”

“Yes.”

 

At Jeok Mugun’s words, Jeok Wigang took an attacking stance.

But it was a stance he seemed to have seen many times before.

 

“You… don’t tell me that’s… Three Talents Fist?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

 

Good heavens.

This is deplorable.

Isn’t this a martial art you can buy for two coins at the marketplace?

No, it’s embarrassing to even call it a martial art – it’s just body movements.

It’s just at the level of exercising for health.

Now he’s saying he’ll use that to fight me.

 

“Here I go, Grandfather.”

“What?”

 

A rapidly moving motion.

 

“Heaven Piercing Fist!”

 

Well I’ll be.

To think the day would come when I’d spar against Three Talents Fist.

But the movement was not ordinary.

 

“Hiiik!”

 

I barely dodged it.

Even though I dodged, my side was stinging.

 

Kwaaaaang-.

 

The place where Jeok Wigang’s fist passed was devastated.

If I had been hit by that?

It wouldn’t have just ended with pain.

Jeok Wigang’s body spun around and he launched a kick.

 

“Wind Transformation Kick!”

 

Why is Three Talents Fist so fast and terrifying?

 

Kwaaaaang-.

 

The place where Jeok Wigang’s leg struck caved in like crushed tofu.

For the first time in his life, Jeok Mugun realized that Three Talents Fist was a terrifying martial art.

More than anything, if you got hit by that martial art, the pain would be one thing, but it would also be mentally difficult.

Being hit by Three Talents Fist of all things and being scared enough to dodge it would deal a great mental blow.

Indeed, if that tremendous body had internal energy too?

Perhaps God has some conscience, as he didn’t give him a dantian.

No, wait.

He has no conscience.

If he had conscience, he wouldn’t have sent such an absurd body down to earth.

It seems not giving him a dantian was probably a trace of guilt.

While facing Jeok Wigang, Jeok Mugun realized something.

In the face of overwhelming strength, martial arts and all that are useless.

He felt somewhat empty.

What was the point of trying so hard to learn martial arts?

After all, someone who doesn’t even know martial arts.

No.

If you’re going to struggle this much with something like the Three Talents Fist.

My motivation for sparring completely disappeared.

 

“Let’s stop… I’m hungry.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

 

What expression would he make if he knew that Jeok Wigang also possessed the mysterious arts called Magic Arts Method?

Actually, the magic book also contained magic related to defense.

It was magic called Absolute Defense, written to be able to block all attacks in the world.

I had learned it, but that was to protect others, not to protect myself.

I can just take the hits, so why bother deploying something so troublesome?

Having my clothes torn a bit is one thing, but calculating formulas to deploy it is more annoying.

Plus, if I use Magic Arts Method, I’d have to explain it again.

There are more than one or two troublesome things.

The uses of Magic Arts Method are clearly defined.

Only as a substitute for Sound Transmission, for healing, Spirit Pill creation, and when deploying Formation Methods.

Ah! It’s also useful when enhancing weapons.

Later, I should make Spirit Pills using magic arts to help nourish Grandfather’s body.

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang came outside after dinner.

Today he was in a good mood.

He had met Grandfather.

He seemed like a decent person.

He seemed to have more affection than expected.

Seeing how well he knew news about Jin Mu Sect, it seemed like while pretending to hate on the surface, he cared about Father more than anyone.

He was so happy that his family members were increasing one by one like this.

He had hoped for family his entire life, and it was becoming more and more perfect.

Suddenly he thought of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.

Where were they and what were they doing?

As they say, even hate becomes affection – he wanted to see them.

He thought he could get clues here.

When he turned his head, Grandfather was having a conversation with Taecheon.

Listening carefully, he was giving advice to Taecheon.

Taecheon didn’t know what to do with himself at the advice from the world’s greatest master.

Probably Taecheon would develop further thanks to that advice.

Hm?

The scent of death.

Those who give off this kind of scent are usually assassins.

And judging by how strong the scent was, it seemed to be a considerably skilled assassin.

Jeok Wigang immediately flew toward the location where he sensed the scent.

 

 

 

A masked figure was moving carefully.

He was called the world’s greatest assassin and was a human who followed Gwimyeol Shin Ma, one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.

The reason he came here was because he heard rumors that Gwimyeol Shin Ma’s Secret Cave was somewhere around here.

Rumors that the Secret Cave contained everything of Gwimyeol Shin Ma.

Many people came to Biun Valley searching for that Secret Cave, but found nothing, and it became a false rumor that faded from people’s interest.

But this man believed it.

If it could be found so easily, would it be a Secret Cave?

Moreover, it was the Secret Cave of Gwimyeol Shin Ma, the legend of assassins.

It would be hidden extremely thoroughly.

The man mobilized all the knowledge he possessed to examine every corner of Biun Valley.

Then he saw a tree growing on top of a cliff.

A tree that looked ordinary to anyone.

The man flew up onto the tree and examined the surroundings.

Then he discovered it.

A strangely shaped pattern.

He knew well what kind of pattern it was.

It was a pattern symbolizing Gwimyeol Shin Ma.

 

“Found it.”

 

The man immediately cut his fingertip with a short blade to draw blood, then sprinkled it on the pattern.

Then, absorbing the man’s blood, the faint pattern became clear.

That was the end.

Nothing else happened.

But the man smiled.

 

“Now I just need to find one more.”

 

Did he know something?

The man immediately went down and ran toward the valley.

He looked down at the place with three-branched water streams for a long time, then blocked the streams.

Then the hidden final pattern appeared.

When he sprinkled blood there too, the pattern became clear.

The man took out old parchment and began checking it.

 

“Now I just need to find the Heavenly Demon Stone Statue.”

 

Now he could soon find Gwimyeol Shin Ma’s Secret Cave.

Just as he was about to get up to search for the Heavenly Demon Stone Statue with an excited face.

 

“Huh!”

 

He discovered a young man standing in front of him without any sign of presence.

 

“Heavenly Demon Stone Statue? What happens if you just find that?”

 

Oh no.

He heard everything.

Why does this guy meddle in others’ business and shorten his own lifeline?

Since he was in the middle of important work, he tried not to kill if possible.

But looking at him, he seemed like someone who didn’t even know martial arts.

I guess this is your fate.
