Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 25
The man silently slashed across the throat of the young man standing before him.
Now he would collapse, spraying red blood.
The man didn’t pay much attention and began looking around to find the Heavenly Demon Stone Statue.
“Isn’t that it?”
“Huh?”
The man turned around in shock.
The human who should have been collapsed, spurting blood, was standing there perfectly fine.
Just to be sure, he touched his finger to the blade of his dagger.
It was so sharp that blood came out even from a light touch.
He tilted his head and looked at the young man again.
The young man was Jeok Wigang.
“I just need to find the Heavenly Demon Stone Statue?”
“I definitely slashed your throat?”
Jeok Wigang said with a grin.
“No blade in this world can wound my throat.”
“Vajra Indestructible Body?”
“Stronger than Vajra Indestructible Body, right?”
Is he insane?
He seems to be mentally unstable.
The moment the man took his stance.
He had somehow moved behind Jeok Wigang.
Swish-.
He slashed the young man’s throat once more.
However, the sensation felt through his fingertips was somehow strange.
Unlike usual, there was no cutting sensation.
What is this?
When he turned his head, Jeok Wigang was still standing there perfectly fine.
“Don’t waste your energy on useless things and just tell me what happens if I find the Heavenly Demon Stone Statue? Then I’ll let you live.”
The man stepped backward.
What is this?
Am I seeing things right now?
I am one of the top three assassins in the Central Plains, the Blood Mist Death God.
Yet I can’t kill a single human who looks barely twenty.
He doesn’t even seem to have internal energy.
No, he definitely doesn’t have any.
The ring on my finger, the Heart-Seeing Ring, shows no reaction.
The Heart-Seeing Ring is a treasure that measures an opponent’s level and internal energy.
Thanks to this treasure, I was able to succeed perfectly in many assassinations.
That ring shows no reaction.
That means he’s just an ordinary person.
No internal energy, but Vajra Indestructible Body?
That’s possible.
There are perverts who only focus on External Martial Arts.
There’s one way to defeat Vajra Indestructible Body.
Poison.
I prepared it just in case.
I never thought the day would come when I’d actually use it.
Heavenly Number Blood Poison.
No matter how strong the Vajra Indestructible Body is, the inside isn’t indestructible too.
This poison was an extreme toxin that completely destroys the interior.
He can’t avoid it either.
Just one sip and it’s over.
When did I administer the poison?
Hehe.
I already did.
How can I do it this quickly?
It’s possible because it’s me.
I’m not one of the top three assassins for nothing.
I used not just a handful, but half of all the Heavenly Number Blood Poison I had on that bastard.
It should be starting to take effect soon, right?
“This won’t work. Let me hit you a bit.”
Hmph!
How does a guy without internal energy think he can catch me?
The moment I thought this and pulled my body back.
I felt an illusion of the world spinning around and pain as if half my face had been blown away.
That was the beginning.
The next pain was in my abdomen.
With a feeling like my body was folding in half, it seemed like all the organs inside my body were screaming.
My mind was becoming hazy from pain I’d never felt in my life.
My fading consciousness was awakened by an impact felt on my jaw.
Along with the continuing pain throughout my body, I heard a voice.
“It’s annoying to control my strength so I don’t kill you while beating you.”
Is that something to say while beating a person?
Now my consciousness was really fading.
If I faint, this pain will disappear too.
Just as I was about to let go of my consciousness with that thought.
The pain stopped.
And my mouth was forced open as something entered it.
That something was sweet and instantly melted, flowing down my throat.
Instantly, my mind became crystal clear.
It felt as if every nerve in his body was vividly alive.
When he opened his eyes, the crazy monster was smiling brightly with a truly delighted expression.
“It seems to be effective. I was wondering who I should test this on.”
What?
Did he just feed me an unproven medicine?
But what is this feeling?
This feeling where everything feels so vivid?
Jeok Wigang flicked the Blood Mist Death God’s forehead with his finger.
Thwack-.
“Aaaaaargh!”
The pain from before was tremendous, but now he felt pain on a completely different dimension.
Is this what torture in hell would feel like?
It felt like his entire head had been blown off.
Just a flick of a finger to his forehead, yet such pain.
The Blood Mist Death God stared blankly at Jeok Wigang while clutching his forehead.
“Due to the Elixir you took, you’ll feel ten times the pain you just experienced throughout your entire body. Now, last chance. What happens when you find the Heavenly Horse Stone Statue?”
Gulp-.
So that Elixir was meant to amplify pain after all.
“You don’t have to tell me. I’ll just go find it myself and figure it out. If I smash every statue I come across, something will come out.”
“N-no. I’ll tell you.”
Torture, he could endure.
But enduring against this guy seemed impossible.
The instincts he’d developed through long years of assassination warned him. The Man before him truly intended to kill him.
And without any hesitation at that.
He didn’t want to die.
How hard a life had he lived to become the current Blood Mist Death God.
He couldn’t die like this without properly enjoying what he’d earned.
He would definitely survive and enjoy it all.
“There’s a door beneath the Heavenly Horse Stone Statue, and if you sprinkle Blood on the Pattern you saw earlier, that door will open. Before the door opens, you can’t even know that there’s a door there.”
“A door? What’s in there?”
“It’s Gwimyeol Shin Ma’s Secret Cave, one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”
“Gwimyeol Shin Ma?”
“Don’t you know?”
He didn’t know the alias.
He hadn’t been interested in the first place.
“No. What’s his name?”
“There are very few who know the names of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods.”
“Is that so?”
Whatever the case, wasn’t he saying it was one of his Younger Brothers’ Secret Cave?
“Let’s go.”
The Blood Mist Death God gave up everything and guided Jeok Wigang with his head deeply bowed.
“This is the Heavenly Horse Stone Statue?”
“I-I suppose so.”
“You didn’t know either?”
“Since they called it Heavenly Horse, I just assumed it was a human-shaped statue. I never thought it would actually be a horse…”
“It wasn’t Heavenly Demon but Heavenly Horse.”
It wasn’t even a statue made by humans.
It was a massive rock naturally formed in the shape of a horse.
Even that had partially collapsed, so unless you looked carefully, you wouldn’t even know it was a horse.
“Where’s the entrance?”
“It’s somewhere around here…”
Where the Blood Mist Death God pointed, house-sized rocks were piled up layer upon layer.
It seemed they had piled up at the entrance when the statue collapsed.
The Blood Mist Death God carefully approached and touched the rocks, then channeled his Internal Energy into them.
Thud-.
A powerful repulsive force erupted from the rock and pushed the Blood Mist Death God backward.
“I had a feeling, but as expected, it’s Heavenly Gang Stone.”
“Do we need to clear these rocks to see the entrance?”
“That’s right. But with human strength…”
Before the Blood Mist Death God could finish speaking, Jeok Wigang threw a punch.
Whoosh-.
An eerie energy brushed past the Blood Mist Death God as a powerful storm blew.
The Blood Mist Death God barely managed to keep his swaying body from falling.
With a disbelieving expression, he slowly turned around.
A completely clear view greeted the Blood Mist Death God.
The massive chunks of Heavenly Gang Stone that should have been there had vanished, leaving only a hole in the ground.
“That must be it. Let’s go.”
“Huh? Yes…”
He had definitely seen it.
With a single punch, the Heavenly Gang Stone had been obliterated.
Blood Mist Death God now understood why Jeok Wigang had grumbled about having difficulty controlling his strength.
If he hadn’t controlled his strength, he would have ended up like the vanished Heavenly Gang Stone.
“Aren’t you coming quickly?”
“Yes? Yes! I’m coming!”
Blood Mist Death God made a resolution.
He would absolutely never defy Jeok Wigang.
As soon as they entered, something flew toward them rapidly.
But seeing Jeok Wigang just walking forward while taking the flying hidden weapons with his bare body, Blood Mist Death God made a horrified expression.
Traps were meaningless to that human.
He was just advancing forward, smashing everything with overwhelming power.
Blood Mist Death God thought he had gotten involved with a tremendous human.
A cave that looked far too shabby.
“What? There’s nothing here?”
“Well, you see, this is…”
“Is this the right place?”
“Y-yes, it is.”
“But why is there nothing here?”
“I-I don’t really know either.”
“Look for something.”
“Understood.”
Jeok Wigang was disappointed.
He thought he would be able to find traces of Younger Brother, but there was nothing.
“There’s a book here.”
“Really?”
“But… the contents…”
“What about the contents?”
“It’s all curses.”
“Huh?”
“It’s filled with nothing but curses about someone.”
“Bring it here.”
Blood Mist Death God quickly ran over and respectfully offered the book.
Rustle-.
Jeok Wigang’s expression gradually distorted as he flipped through the book.
The contents written in the book were all curses directed at himself.
[I’m sick of serving that damn brat as Dae-hyeong! Damn bastard! Die! Die!]
[Today I got my head smashed. For someone called Gwimyeol Shin Ma, getting head-butted. Dae-hyeong, you fucking bastard! I wish you were dead!]
[Still, having this space allows me to breathe a little. Here I can freely curse Dae-hyeong and write mocking words about that bastard to my heart’s content.
It’s regrettable that I can’t show him this book, but I need to survive too, so I made this place so it would never be discovered. There’s no way Dae-hyeong would find this place, but still, you never know what might happen. Stupid Dae-hyeong bastard. Right now I’m here scribbling curses about you! Hahaha!]
Seeing Jeok Wigang’s expression wasn’t good, Blood Mist Death God read the situation.
As he quietly looked around, stone statues caught his eye.
Stone statues with faces that seemed familiar from somewhere.
Not a single one was intact.
‘Where have I seen that face?’
As he was tilting his head in confusion, Jeok Wigang also discovered the statues.
“What did they do after carving my face on these things.”
Your face?
Now that he mentioned it?
They did look alike.
“Pack them.”
“Pardon?”
“Pack all those books over there.”
“Ah, understood.”
“Just let me find him.”
He felt a chill from Jeok Wigang grinding his teeth.
What kind of relationship did he have with Gwimyeol Shin Ma to act like this?
From the situation, the person written about in the book seemed to be that monster right in front of him.
From the contents, it seemed Gwimyeol Shin Ma feared that monster.
He was so afraid of even cursing that monster that he seemed to have made this secret cave to come here and curse.
The reason for thoroughly hiding the secret cave also seemed to be to conceal this book and those statues.
“I’ve packed everything.”
“You follow me.”
“Ah, understood.”
Now freedom was over.
He squeezed his eyes shut, shouldered the bundle cloth containing the books, and followed Jeok Wigang out.
“What’s that guy?”
“He was looking for Gwimyeol Shin Ma’s secret cave. So I brought him.”
“Four Demon Annihilation Gods’ secret cave? Wasn’t that just a false rumor?”
“It existed.”
“So? Did you go inside?”
“Yes.”
“What was there? Were there traces of those guys?”
“No. It was just full of books with curses written all over them.”
“Curses?”
“Yes.”
“Whose curses? Are they curses about me by any chance?”
“There weren’t any curses about Grandfather. Who knows. Maybe there are curses about Grandfather somewhere in those books too.”
The Blood Mist Death God gauged the situation.
That stubborn-looking elder also seemed far from ordinary.
“That’s all?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you bring that bastard along?”
“He says he’s among the top three in the Assassin Organization. He seemed useful, so I brought him.”
“Ho.”
Jeok Mugun showed interest.
“What’s your alias?”
“Blood Mist Death God.”
“Ah, that crazy bastard who kills people and sprays Blood Mist with the victim’s blood before leaving?”
“Th-that’s right.”
