Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 33

 

 

 

Seeing that sight, Ghost Lord was reminded of old times.

But it didn’t seem as strong as before.

Normally, with that level of power, Sakhongui should have been shattered to pieces, right?

 

‘Did I become weak after turning into a baby and growing up again?’

 

Jeok Wigang looked at Ghost Lord.

 

“It seems you’ve transformed your appearance, but if you undo it, your true form will appear.”

 

Ghost Lord was desperate.

Had I become weaker?

If so, would my pursuit speed have slowed down too?

To always be ready to flee, I learned Lightning Swift Wind Divine Steps, said to be the fastest among all martial arts.

I didn’t just learn it – I trained desperately in this alone until I mastered it perfectly.

Ghost Lord concentrated all his energy into his legs.

There was only one chance.

 

“Young Master?”

 

When Taecheon came outside and called out, Jeok Wigang’s head turned.

 

‘Now!’

 

Ghost Lord poured all his internal energy into his legs and unleashed Lightning Swift Wind Divine Steps with all his might.

I can’t go to the Ghost Kill Group.

I need to flee far away and change my identity again.

I can’t be an assassin anymore.

Dae-hyeong will now search through every assassin that exists in the world.

The scenery passed by so quickly that it even created the illusion of stretching out long.

Ghost Lord gritted his teeth and ran with all his might.

Then he looked back.

Surely, he wouldn’t have followed me?

The moment he turned his head.

His heart nearly stopped.

Right behind him, wasn’t Jeok Wigang chasing with a grin?

 

“Gasp!”

 

He was so shocked that his blood flow reversed and his true energy became tangled, causing him to collapse on the ground.

 

Crash-clang-clang-.

 

“Cough! Cough!”

 

Thick blood spurted from Ghost Lord’s mouth.

It was due to internal shock from the reversed blood flow.

Regardless, Jeok Wigang crouched down and asked.

 

“You’re Muryang, right?”

“N-no, I’m not.”

“You are. Jin Muryang.”

“N-no, I’m not.”

“Really? I see.”

 

Jeok Wigang stood up from his spot.

 

“Wh-what are you going to do?”

“Hm? I’m going to remind you of old times. Even after seeing you for the first time in a while, your nature is still trash-like. You guys were always like that from before. You only became somewhat decent after getting beaten.”

“Y-you’ve got the wrong person!”

“Really? Hmm. If you’re not my younger brother, there’s no reason to spare you.”

 

Chill-.

 

His aura became more ferocious than before.

Jeok Wigang’s eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

Those were truly the eyes of someone who would kill a person without any hesitation.

 

“Sorry, I guess I mistook you for someone else. As an apology, I’ll send you off in one blow.”

 

Jeok Wigang clenched his fist.

Ghost Lord immediately felt it.

The tremendous energy contained in that fist.

Weaker than before?

No.

He had definitely become stronger than before.

The moment Jeok Wigang’s fist was about to swing.

 

“Dae-hyeong!”

 

He prostrated himself and shouted.

 

Boom-boom-boom-boom-bang-!

 

A chilling energy went from his head down his spine to his legs, making his whole body break out in goosebumps.

When he slowly raised his head and looked back, he could see that the mountain behind him had been blown away entirely.

 

Rumble-rumble-rumble-.

 

The remaining parts were slowly crumbling down.

He’s still not human.

That probably wasn’t even his full power.

 

“Damn it. My heart went soft because you called me Dae-hyeong. Let’s do it again.”

“No, no! Dae-hyeong! It’s really me, Jin Muryang!”

 

He quickly tore off his mask and threw it away as he shouted.

 

“Your appearance is different though?”

“I transformed using a martial art called the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art.”

“Really? Then return to your original form.”

“Ah, understood.”

 

Crack- Pop-.

 

His muscles twisted wildly and his joints bent this way and that, then he soon changed to a tall height.

Jeok Wigang grinned.

 

“As expected, it was right. Jin Muryang.”

 

Jin Muryang, who had returned to his original form, quickly prostrated himself.

 

“Dae, Dae-hyeong! Your younger brother Jin Muryang pays his respects!”

“It’s been a while? It’s been twenty years for us, right?”

“Th, that’s right.”

“What about the other guys?”

“I, I don’t know.”

“Really?”

“I, it’s really true! I really don’t know. After we scattered in all directions, we completely cut off contact with each other.”

“The scent had disappeared though?”

“Th, that’s… Ye Yahyeon developed an antidote pill that erases the Ten Thousand Li Tracking Scent.”

“Really? So that’s why there was no scent?”

 

Jeok Wigang fell into thought.

 

“What are you thinking about?”

“I’m thinking that I was foolish for trying to find you guys by scent? So I had prepared another method.”

 

Jin Muryang stayed quiet.

He didn’t particularly want to know what that other method was.

 

“Ghost Kill Group, is that an organization you created?”

“Th, that’s right. I’ll go and disband it right now.”

“No. Just leave it as it is.”

“What?”

“Keep growing it like you are now.”

“Li, like now?”

“Yeah. And try to find the rest of the kids too.”

“Ah, understood.”

“And thank you.”

“What?”

 

What’s this about now?

 

Jeok Wigang spoke to the bewildered Jin Muryang.

 

“Thanks to you guys turning me into a baby, I got parents.”

“Is, is that so?”

“Yeah. So even though you ran away, I’m giving you one more chance. Because I’m grateful.”

“Th, thank you.”

 

Jin Muryang bowed his head and then asked.

 

“By any chance, those parents… it’s not Jin Mugun, is it?”

“That’s right though?”

“And with the Cheonmu Castle Lord…”

“My grandfather.”

 

Jin Muryang lowered his head.

He had once planned to take revenge on the Cheonmu Castle Lord, but that was now impossible forever.

For now, judging by the situation, it seemed like he would let him go.

The moment he escaped this place, he would run as far away as possible.

Ghost Kill Group?

Who cares about such a thing.

Jeok Wigang grinned and placed his hand on his body while muttering.

Then he felt some kind of warm energy and his whole body felt at ease?

 

“Dae, Dae-hyeong? Did you do something to me?”

“Yeah.”

“What was it?”

“I infused some of my energy into you.”

“What? Have you learned internal energy?”

“No, it’s not internal energy, but rather a kind of magic art?”

“So what did you do to my body?”

“I left a mark. So I can find you wherever you are.”

 

He named it the Heavenly Energy Mark.

Since he couldn’t sense the Four Heavenly Demons’ Ten Thousand Li Tracking Scent, he thought these guys had pulled some trick, and this was a mark he created to prepare for when he met them again later.

The mark is always activated, but only I can see it.

Seeing it isn’t difficult.

A beam of light stretches to the ends of the sky, and at the very top, the name of the mark’s bearer is carved in shining light.

So I can easily find out who is where.

How can I see the name when it’s so high up?

My eyes can see a thousand li.

What if they’re inside a building or underground?

I can still see them.

Since everything is part of nature, it passes through.

Hiding is useless.

If I dig straight into the place where that light shines, the person will be there.

 

“A, a mark between us? Why is such a thing necessary? Please erase it quickly!”

“I don’t want to.”

“Please erase it! Quickly!”

 

He had been thinking of running away, but now there was a mark.

Annoyed, he shouted without realizing it.

At that, Jeok Wigang clapped his hands.

 

“Ah!”

 

He smiled as if something else had come to mind.

 

“I had forgotten since it’s been so long since I saw you.”

“What do you mean?”

“You guys were the type that words don’t work on, right?”

 

Oh no!

 

“D-Dae-hyeong! Thank you so much for the mark. Y-you don’t need to erase it.”

“No. I think I need to properly imprint who I am after such a long time.”

“N-no! It’s been imprinted enough!”

“Mm. No.”

 

Jeok Wigang’s fist flew swiftly.

 

Crack-.

 

“Kugh!”

 

It’s been a while.

This pain that makes his mind go blank and feels like his soul is shattering.

Why did he forget this and talk back to Dae-hyeong?

Regret washed over him.

But it was too late.

 

“Since we’ve reunited after so long, let’s go at it for just two hours.”

“P-please spare me…”

“I won’t kill you. There’s no way I’d kill my beloved Younger Brother, right?”

 

His grinning expression looked like a demon.

 

‘Rather… just kill me…’

 

He couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.

If he did, he might really kill him.

The Dae-hyeong he knew was that kind of person.

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang returned to the Mok Family Blacksmith Shop.

Beside him stood a person with a face bruised blue-black and swollen, standing respectfully.

 

“Who is that person?”

 

At Chu Sohwan’s question, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.

 

“The person who tried to kill you earlier.”

“What? You mean the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Kill Group?”

“Yeah.”

“His physique is completely different though?”

“He had transformed his body using something called the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art. This is his original appearance.”

 

He could guess why his face looked like that without asking.

The being who had instantly subdued the Blood Mist Death God had appeared thoroughly beaten up.

Taecheon asked.

 

“From what I saw earlier, it seemed like you knew each other. How do you know the Ghost Lord of the Ghost Kill Group?”

 

At Taecheon’s question, Jeok Wigang looked around at the people.

How should he explain this?

Should he say this guy fed him a strange elixir that turned him into a baby?

Would they believe that?

More than that, if his parents found out about this?

If they knew he wasn’t actually a baby but a full-grown adult?

Would they be terribly disappointed?

While he was pondering, Jin Muryang stepped forward.

 

“Dae-hyeong. May I tell them?”

“Huh?”

“Please leave it to me.”

“Alright.”

 

Jin Muryang looked around at the people with his swollen eyes and said.

 

“Actually, Dae-hyeong is…”

 

Everyone focused their attention at once.

 

“…reincarnated.”

 

At Jin Muryang’s words, everyone looked bewildered.

 

“Reincarnated?”

“That’s right.”

 

People looked at Jin Muryang with absurd expressions.

 

“You want us to believe that now? From what I saw earlier, you seemed surprised the moment you saw his face?”

“I was surprised because he reincarnated with the same face. I was uncertain, but seeing his actions made me sure.”

“So… Young Master has reincarnated… and that Ghost Lord served our Young Master before his reincarnation?”

“That’s right. He was the Dae-hyeong I used to serve.”

 

Taecheon looked at Jeok Wigang and asked.

 

“Seeing how Young Master is also pretending to know, it seems all the memories from your past life remain?”

 

Jeok Wigang also looked at Jin Muryang with a bewildered expression, then quickly changed his expression and answered.

 

“Th, that’s right. The memories remain?”

 

Everyone looked with suspicious eyes, wondering whether they should believe this or not.

There wasn’t just one or two suspicious things.

That ridiculous strength, body, and brain.

He must have been strong in his previous life too.

Otherwise, there’s no way he would be trembling like that.

Jin Muryang’s age looked to be well over sixty by rough calculation.

He was strong enough to easily subdue the Blood Mist Death God.

If such a person follows as Older Brother and fears him to that extent, it means he was equally strong before.

 

“Well, is there any need to think deeply about it? The current me is Jeok Wigang.”

 

Although everyone was confused by Jeok Wigang’s words, they nodded for now.

 

– That’s enough.

 

Jin Muryang’s eyes widened at the suddenly heard sound transmission.

 

– Y, you can also use sound transmission?

– Yeah.

– Don’t you have no internal energy?

– Ah, while learning magic arts, I also found a way to store it elsewhere.

 

Elsewhere?

Could internal energy be gathered somewhere other than the dantian?

There are the middle dantian and upper dantian, but those aren’t places to gather internal energy.

They’re places to further subdivide and distribute the internal energy gathered in the lower dantian.

Then where exactly does he store internal energy?

 

– Where is that place?

 

Jin Muryang asked because he absolutely couldn’t contain his curiosity.

 

– The heart.

– What?

– I stored it in my heart.

– The heart? Is it possible to… gather energy in the heart?

– Yeah. It’s possible if you create a ring in the heart with the Five Elements Incantation Method.

 

Five Elements Incantation Method?

A ring in the heart?

What’s that supposed to be?

He couldn’t understand what any of it meant.

 

“Then what happens now? Do we serve Young Master?”

 

At Taecheon’s question, Jin Muryang nodded.

 

“From today, the Ghost Kill Group will only follow Older Brother’s commands.”
