Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 36

 

 

 

What kind of grudge did those Guyang Family bastards have to do this?

 

“Have we had any recent conflicts with the Guyang Family?”

“Nothing major.”

“So there was something?”

“We once refused a request from the Guyang Family Chief Manager.”

“When?”

“About two months ago.”

“What kind of request was it?”

“He wanted us to kill all the family members of a woman he had chosen, then bring that woman to him.”

“What did he want the woman for?”

“A one-night plaything.”

“How do you know that?”

“Because he asked us to kill the woman too after one night.”

“What a horny bastard.”

“The request was too low-grade, so we didn’t accept it.”

“Good call. What does he take us for?”

 

It left a bad taste in his mouth.

 

“From now on, don’t accept any requests from the Guyang Family.”

“Understood.”

“But how should we resolve this situation? How much damage have we suffered?”

“Thirty elite assassins were taken down. Twenty-seven of them lost their lives, so we’ve suffered losses worth roughly three million gold taels.”

“Three million gold taels…”

“We’ll have to enter austerity measures for a while, and it’ll take quite a long time to train elite assassins again. We’ll have to drastically reduce the number of elite requests for the time being.”

“Sigh…”

 

It was infuriating.

He wanted to capture the person who made the request and tear them apart.

As he was sighing while holding his forehead.

 

Clang clang clang-.

 

The bell rang noisily.

 

“What is it?”

 

A subordinate who rushed in urgently shouted.

 

“An, an enemy!”

“How many are there?”

“J-just one!”

“What? You’re ringing the emergency bell so loudly for just one person?”

“That one person is calmly deflecting all attacks from Mumyeongjeon’s assassins and entering the gorge!”

 

Jump-.

 

“What? Did the Heavenly Martial Emperor come or something?”

“No! It’s a young master. He’s looking for the Hall Master.”

“Let’s go see.”

 

 

 

“Is this the place?”

 

Following the scent, he saw a sect.

Jeok Wigang looked at the signboard of Baekmu Gate and approached it.

A martial artist approached him and asked.

 

“What brings you here?”

“I came to meet your Hall Master.”

“Haha. Hall Master? You seem to have come to the wrong place. This is Baekmu Gate.”

“This is the right place. I can smell it coming from back there.”

“Smell?”

 

Sniff sniff-.

 

The martial artist tried smelling, but couldn’t detect any scent.

 

“I don’t smell anything.”

“Only I can smell it. Will you step aside?”

“I cannot.”

“Fine. I’ll just go in.”

 

Shing-.

 

“Stop! Come any closer and I’ll cut you down.”

“Go ahead and try.”

 

Jeok Wigang lightly ignored the martial artist’s warning and walked toward Baekmu Gate’s main entrance.

Then not only the martial artist who had warned him, but other martial artists also rushed over, surrounding Jeok Wigang and drawing their swords.

 

“Stop!”

“We really will cut you down!”

“Move aside.”

“Tsk! This person won’t listen to words!”

“We clearly warned you!”

 

The martial artists simultaneously swung their swords at Jeok Wigang.

 

Swish swish slash-.

 

They cut Jeok Wigang’s body, but didn’t feel like they had cut anything.

Just cut his clothes?

Wondering what was happening, they saw that only his clothes were cut while he continued walking forward completely unharmed.

The warriors were momentarily flustered.

Some warriors even checked their blade’s edge with their fingers, wondering if it had dulled.

Seeing blood from just a light touch and confirming there was nothing wrong with the blade, the warriors shouted.

 

“He’s a master! Stop him!”

“Damn! Attack with sword qi!”

 

They began attacking by infusing their swords with sword qi.

 

Swish swish slash-.

 

No matter how much they slashed with swords infused with sword qi, Jeok Wigang just ignored them with an indifferent expression and continued walking.

When they locked the main gate, he threw a punch.

 

Boom crash bang-.

 

As if there had never been a main gate there, nothing remained and it disappeared without a trace.

The people were shocked.

He hadn’t used any martial arts.

He had simply thrown a punch, yet the gate had vanished.

 

“E-emergency! It’s an emergency!”

 

At that single cry, emergency bells began ringing frantically.

People burst out from all directions and began attacking to stop Jeok Wigang.

Arrows flew and all kinds of weapons attacked Jeok Wigang.

But Jeok Wigang just calmly continued walking forward.

 

“G-grab him!”

 

When weapons proved ineffective, people rushed in and grabbed onto Jeok Wigang.

However, even with dozens of people clinging to him, they couldn’t stop his steps.

 

“Wh-what! What is this monster!”

 

Attacks didn’t work and trying to stop him with force was useless.

Though they thought they had experienced many things in life, this was a first.

Jeok Wigang walked in like taking a stroll with dozens of people trailing behind him.

That bizarre sight drew everyone’s attention.

Among those gazes was the Nameless Hall Master.

 

“What is that?”

 

The Nameless Hall Master couldn’t take his eyes off this strange sight he was seeing for the first time.

Dozens of assassins were trying to stop one person – attacking from the front while grabbing him from behind with chains and ropes to prevent his advance.

The problem was that despite all this, the person in question was moving forward as if nothing was happening.

 

“Right now, that… they are attacking him, right?”

“I-it seems so?”

“Then why is he fine? Looking at his torn clothes, the attacks are clearly hitting?”

“W-well, I don’t know.”

 

It was such an unrealistic sight that it didn’t feel like an extremely urgent situation.

Jeok Wigang, standing in the center of the gorge, looked around and shouted.

 

“Is this Nameless Hall?”

 

The assassins who had been attacking and pulling at Jeok Wigang looked at him with tired and fed-up expressions.

Then the Nameless Hall Master leaped into the air and landed gracefully in front of Jeok Wigang.

 

“Who are you?”

“One of the people you tried to kill.”

“Hmm.”

“I came to give you a chance.”

“What kind of chance?”

“A chance to repent.”

“Repent?”

“Yeah. If you promise not to do assassin work from today on, I’ll spare your lives. Actually, I was planning to eliminate everyone before coming here, but your dispositions don’t seem that thoroughly evil. Also, I gave chances to other guys who were more vicious than you, so it would be unfair not to give you one too.”

 

What was he talking about?

Other guys more vicious?

 

“You’re saying other assassin groups repented?”

“Yeah. They promised to change their business to escort services.”

“Where was that?”

“Ghost Kill Group.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, the Hall Master and all the assassins around were shocked.

Ghost Kill Group was indeed a more vicious assassin organization than themselves.

And they were stronger too.

 

“Ghost Kill Group? You’re saying Ghost Kill Group agreed to listen to your words?”

“Yeah. The leader personally made a promise before leaving, so they’ll keep it. I told them if they don’t, I’ll chase them to the ends of the Central Plains and not let them be.”

 

The Nameless Hall Master looked at Jeok Wigang.

No, he looked around him.

The man whom dozens, no hundreds of people had attacked and grabbed but couldn’t stop.

Since Nameless Hall’s founding, had there ever been a time when they so helplessly let an enemy reach the center of the gorge?

 

Snap snap crack- rip rip tear-.

 

The Dragon Binding Ropes that had been tightly wrapped around Jeok Wigang broke far too easily.

Dragon Binding Rope was made by twisting the outer skin of water-dwelling dragons, tougher than iron chains and sharp enough to be used as a weapon.

Not just one but dozens of such Dragon Binding Ropes had been thrown to bind him, yet they broke far too easily.

 

Thud thud thud-.

 

As he broke free from the Dragon Binding Ropes and brushed off his clothes, colorful powders scattered in the air.

 

“Gasp!”

 

The assassins were horrified and covered their mouths and noses as they retreated.

The colorful powders were all kinds of poisons.

They had scattered them to stop Jeok Wigang, but the man himself was fine while the assassins who threw them were about to be poisoned instead.

 

“What will you do?”

 

The Nameless Hall Master thought.

What could he do to subdue this monster before his eyes?

There was one thing he hadn’t used yet.

A weapon that could only be used once, prepared for when Nameless Hall faced a crisis severe enough to destroy them completely.

That was the Blood Lotus Explosive Flower.

It was a bomb with tremendous destructive power capable of blowing up this entire gorge.

The only drawback of this weapon was that it meant mutual destruction.

He had to prevent the enemy from escaping before detonating it.

Literally blowing up the entire inside of the gorge, which meant Nameless Hall would also disappear.

But the enemy before his eyes seemed like he would survive even if the Blood Lotus Explosive Flower exploded.

 

“Why? Looks like you have something more? Don’t leave any regrets and try it.”

 

Regrets.

It would be such a waste.

How much trouble had he gone through to obtain that.

 

“Well, I don’t know if this will help you decide, but I’ll show you. My power.”

 

Hadn’t he seen enough already?

In this place full of assassins who kill people, there was a human before his eyes who remained unharmed despite receiving all kinds of attacks from assassins.

He couldn’t even tell if this human could be killed, yet he was going to show more?

What?

 

“It’s a bit dark here, so let’s brighten it up first and then talk.”

 

Brighten it up?

Was he saying he’d blow up the entire gorge or something?

That was impossible even if he detonated the Blood Lotus Explosive Flower, the most powerful Thunder Bomb in the Central Plains.

That was the moment he thought that.

He saw Jeok Wigang throwing a punch.

At the same time, a tremendous shockwave blew and a thunderous roar was heard.

 

BOOM CRASH BANG-.

 

Along with the thunderous sound, sunlight poured down on the previously dark place.

Looking up, he could see the blue sky that should never be visible from here.

The surrounding assassins sat down on the ground with dazed faces, staring blankly at the sky.

Half of the massive gorge that had perfectly concealed Nameless Hall’s location had been blown away and disappeared.

And cleanly at that.

 

“How about it? Did this help you decide?”

 

Did it help him decide?

If there was anyone who would still resist after seeing that insane spectacle, wouldn’t that person be even more insane?

Wait, he thought he had been dreaming.

But when he came to his senses, it wasn’t a dream but reality.

Could the Heavenly Martial Emperor, said to be the strongest in the Central Plains, do something like that?

Not a chance.

What could he do in this situation?

Only one thing.

Resistance against the man before his eyes was meaningless.

While they didn’t even know what or how to kill him, he possessed the power to kill everyone here with a single punch.

He had to bow his head low.

Because he wanted to live.

 

“If we surrender, will you spare our lives?”

“You’ll fold the Assassination Organization?”

“Th-that is…”

 

The Nameless Hall Master looked at his subordinates.

They were all nodding their heads vigorously.

 

“W-we’ll fold.”

“It would be good to change to a different business.”

“Since the kids are fast and agile, we’ll try changing our business to courier services.”

“If there are any who oppose, speak up now. I’ll quickly deal with them and go.”

 

How could there be anyone who would oppose?

Everyone was busy bowing their heads.

The Hall Master removed the ring from his finger and offered it to Jeok Wigang.

 

“This is the seal representing the Nameless Hall Master. I offer it to you.”

“I’ll accept it.”

 

Jeok Wigang chuckled and patted the Nameless Hall Master’s shoulder.

Even while doing so, he didn’t forget to leave a Heavenly Energy Mark through an incantation.

Thus, two of the Three Major Assassination Groups of the Central Plains fell into Jeok Wigang’s hands.

 

“The remaining one was Black Blood Gate, wasn’t it?”

“Are you planning to deal with that place too?”

“If I just go, it seems like they’ll be troublesome again this time. Do you know where it is?”

“We don’t know the location either.”

“That makes sense, right? I followed those guys here because I didn’t know where this place was either. Maybe if I had just come with information alone, I might have thought I got the wrong information and gone back?”
