Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 38
There was a reason for sending out the soldiers and why the Main Gate Plaza was so spacious.
It was a plaza created to perfectly deploy a formation method called the Iron Blood Ghost Formation.
They knew well that arrogant martial artists would boldly enter through the main gate.
If it had really been a martial artist, they would have been caught helplessly, but Jeok Wigang was different.
He simply observed how the formation was deployed, then started walking again.
“Wh-what? How? Y-you shouldn’t be able to move?”
Crack- Crunch-.
With each step Jeok Wigang took, the ground cracked and sank deeply.
It was a sight that showed how powerful the pressure weighing down on him was.
Yet he began walking nonchalantly.
In the General’s eyes, he could see Jeok Wigang’s body showing no signs of strain at all.
“Wh-what is that? H-how can he be so calm?”
Was the formation wrong?
It was the first time using it in real combat.
Was there something he had deployed incorrectly because of that?
He began examining it again.
But no matter how much he looked and looked again, it couldn’t be more perfect.
Then why?
“That bastard is completely unaffected?”
While the General was panicking, Jeok Wigang threw a punch.
Whoosh-.
Wind brushed past the General’s face.
Crash crash crash crash-.
“Aaahhh!”
“Kheuk!”
“Kehek!”
He had merely thrown a punch, yet one side of the formation was blown wide open.
The Iron Blood Ghost Formation was shattered in a single strike.
Most shocking of all was that no Internal Power could be felt from the punch he threw.
What did that mean?
It meant he had produced such power without even using Internal Energy.
“I told you to call the Family Head, didn’t I?”
The General came to his senses and shouted.
“Wh-what are you all doing! Get your wits together and reestablish the formation!”
“I told you it’s useless. Looks like words won’t work.”
Jeok Wigang looked at the soldiers.
They were not at fault.
They had simply done as they were told.
The one at fault was the Guyang Family.
Jeok Wigang looked at the Guyang Family buildings.
“If they won’t come out, I’ll have to make them come out.”
The formation was deployed again, but it was insufficient to stop Jeok Wigang.
The General tried somehow to block Jeok Wigang’s steps, but Jeok Wigang raised his fist again.
Where to this time?
Whoosh-.
Wind blew again.
Crash crash bang-.
Rumble rumble rumble-.
With a thunderous sound, the hall behind the General collapsed.
Jeok Wigang looked at the people and shouted.
“If you don’t want to get hurt, you’d better flee far away. From now on, I’m going to smash the family’s buildings until the Guyang Family Head appears.”
What an absurd threat.
To destroy all the family’s buildings.
It seemed impossible, but hadn’t they seen it with their own eyes?
A hall collapsing in a single blow.
The soldiers who witnessed that scene lost their fighting spirit and stood there dazed.
While they were flustered, not knowing how to respond.
Crack-.
Rumble rumble rumble-.
Another hall collapsed.
“Aaahhhhh!”
People who came outside due to the great commotion were horrified to see Jeok Wigang demolish a hall in one strike and began fleeing in panic.
The fate of halls from which all people had evacuated was the same.
Crack-.
Rumble rumble rumble-.
He collapsed with a thud along with thick dust.
I need to stop him.
But how?
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no way to stop that natural disaster of a man.
“Thousand Commander! What should we do?”
The general finally came to his senses at his subordinate’s cry.
“Q-quickly inform the Family Head of this situation and tell him to send the family’s masters for support! Hurry!”
“Understood!”
The head of the Guyang Family, Guyang Hyeon, also heard the commotion outside.
Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, an armored soldier urgently requested an audience.
“I request an audience with the Family Head!”
“Yes. What’s happening outside?”
“An unidentified individual is destroying all the family’s buildings.”
What kind of nonsense is this?
Guyang Hyeon looked at the Chief Steward beside him with a bewildered expression.
“What is he talking about? Did we call building demolition contractors?”
“No. Why would we demolish perfectly good buildings?”
“Then?”
“Someone who appears to be from the martial world suddenly entered and is looking for the Family Head. The soldiers are doing their best to stop him, but they cannot.”
“If it’s a martial artist, couldn’t you deploy the Iron Blood Ghost Formation?”
“The Iron Blood Ghost Formation doesn’t work on him.”
“What?”
“He broke through the Iron Blood Ghost Formation with a single strike! Even now, that person is destroying the family’s buildings. I urgently request that you send the family’s guardians!”
What on earth is he talking about?
He understood that someone who appears to be from the martial world is looking for him, and that they deployed the Iron Blood Ghost Formation to stop him but he broke through it.
But destroying buildings?
Why?
Whatever the case, it was clearly a serious situation.
“Understood. Chief Steward. Immediately inform the Five Heavenly Authority Guards. Tell them to eliminate the threat to our family.”
“Yes!”
The Five Heavenly Authority Guards were five martial artists who protected the Guyang Family.
They were prepared for days like today when unmanageable martial artists would attack.
Five individuals whose pasts were unknown.
Their pasts didn’t matter.
Guyang Hyeon wouldn’t care if they were demons, as long as they could eliminate threats to the Guyang Family.
When he went to deliver the Family Head’s orders to the Five Heavenly Authority Guards, they were already outside.
“I’ve come to deliver the Family Head’s orders!”
“To get rid of that thing, right?”
“Y-yes, that’s correct.”
“That’s no ordinary guy.”
“I can’t sense any internal power, but his strength is incredible.”
“He must possess Heaven-Gifted power?”
“Since he’s sturdy, it’ll be fun to play with him.”
“From what I can see, the Iron Blood Ghost Formation didn’t work on him at all.”
“That’s why this guy came running here.”
“If he were a martial artist, he would have been caught by the Iron Blood Ghost Formation.”
“Even we would have trouble with that formation, so if he wasn’t caught by the Iron Blood Ghost Formation, it means he’s moving with pure strength.”
“Hey, what are you doing? It’s the Family Head’s order. Stop drinking and get up.”
“Damn it. There’s still a lot left.”
“Drink it when you get back. Or take it with you.”
“Hey hey. Let’s go quickly. If we’re late, there won’t be any halls left standing.”
“Geez. That bastard would make a fortune as a demolition contractor. He’s wasting his talent in the wrong place.”
“Why don’t you capture him and make him work for you?”
“That’s not a bad idea either.”
Four people stretched their bodies and then launched themselves toward the noisy location.
And behind them, Black Wind quietly followed, still holding his wine bottle.
When they arrived nearby, the scene was even more spectacular.
The soldiers scattered everywhere and their groans showed that they had somehow tried to stop that man.
“Whew! It looks like about a tenth of it is already destroyed?”
“He specifically chose the expensive halls to destroy. Let’s catch him quickly before the Family Head has a stroke.”
“All together?”
“I’ll go first!”
A man with bulging muscles that looked ready to burst launched himself toward Jeok Wigang.
“That guy’s excited because he met someone similar to himself.”
“His body is incredibly tough too, right? No wonder they call him Diamond Chain.”
“It would be more natural for him to face that guy than for us.”
“Does this mean he gets all the reward?”
“What are you talking about? We always agreed to share. That’s why we’re being generous like this.”
“Right?”
The Five Heavenly Authority Guards felt relieved and tried to watch the battle between Diamond Chain and Jeok Wigang.
But that spectacle didn’t last long.
Crack—.
Diamond Chain, who had charged forward confidently, was embedded into the ground with a single punch.
At first, they laughed.
“Kahahaha! You let your guard down!”
“I could tell from the way you charged forward so recklessly.”
“What are you doing? Get up quickly!”
“Leave him be. He’s probably embarrassed.”
They expected him to get up angrily as usual, but he was still lying there.
The Five Heavenly Authority Guards sensed something was wrong.
“What? Why isn’t he getting up?”
“That… isn’t that foam?”
Foam was rising from Diamond Chain’s mouth.
“Did he… faint?”
“That’s impossible. He took down a guy with near Vajra Indestructible Body toughness in one hit?”
“Is he really without internal energy?”
“He’s no pushover. What should we do?”
“Should we attack together?”
“You use some magic arts. Confuse that guy.”
Black Wind brought the wine bottle to his mouth and gulped it down, then pulled out yellow paper from his chest.
The paper’s identity was a talisman covered with grotesque red writing scrawled all over it.
“I’ll confuse him with the Soul Demon Dream Formation Talisman, so take him down in one go.”
With those words, he rushed forward and threw the talisman toward Jeok Wigang.
Pop pop pop-.
The talisman stuck to Jeok Wigang’s body.
Black Wind extended his index and middle fingers and began muttering something.
“Three Souls Seven Spirits, Transform to Dream Flame, False Form Chaotic Image, Spirit Energy Heart Demon.”
Then red energy surged from the talisman and soon enveloped Jeok Wigang.
Jeok Wigang looked around as if seeing something fascinating.
The one who threw the talisman shouted.
“Now! Attack!”
At the shout to attack, the three people who had been moving playfully and frantically until now gathered their energy with cold, serious expressions, concentrated it to a single point, then drove it straight toward Jeok Wigang’s head.
Thudthud-!
Crash-!
It hit properly and powerful waves spread in all directions.
The problem was.
“What, what!”
“Why is he fine?”
“Crazy, I used Azure Dragon Flash Shadow Spear at extreme mastery!”
Confirming that their attacks had no effect at all, the three people hurriedly distanced themselves from Jeok Wigang.
Then they heard the Technique Master’s shout.
“Attack again! He must think our attacks are illusions!”
“You crazy bastard! Didn’t you just see? Our full-power attacks didn’t work!”
“There must be a weak point somewhere! Try attacking all the vital spots!”
“Damn it! What the hell is going on!”
“Isn’t it that we’re caught in that bastard’s illusion technique?”
“For now, let’s attack again! I’ll attack the eyes!”
“Then I’ll go for the dantian area!”
“I’ll attack the heart.”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh-.
The three people again infused their weapons with powerful energy.
“Just die already!”
Each launched a full-power strike toward their targeted vital spot.
Crash-.
Boom-.
The collision sent powerful wind pressure spreading in all directions.
The result?
“Im, impossible… The eyes can’t be trained, right?”
The spear blade hit the pupil precisely but couldn’t pierce through.
The others were the same.
That’s when it happened.
Jeok Wigang grabbed the spear with his hand.
“Huh?”
Grab-.
He was dragged along and instantly got slapped across the face and planted into the ground.
Tremble tremble-.
Watching him writhe on the ground, Jeok Wigang calmly peeled off the talisman stuck to his body.
“Tsk. It doesn’t come off easily either.”
Grumbling, he peeled off all the talismans and rolled them up tightly to the extreme, then flicked them with his finger toward Black Wind who had thrown the talisman.
Ting-.
Swoosh-.
Thwack-!
Without a chance to dodge, he was hit by the bundle of talismans and flew far before crashing to the ground.
The bundle of talismans condensed to the extreme was solid, and a fist-sized lump formed on the Technique Master’s forehead.
In an instant, two people were subdued and only two remained.
While they were flustered, a voice came from behind.
“The family head I told to come out isn’t coming out…”
“Gasp! Wh-when?”
The two people looked back at the place where Jeok Wigang had been just moments ago in surprise.
“Huh?”
The man before their eyes became blurry and disappeared like an afterimage.
“Clone Technique?”
No.
He had moved so fast that the afterimage remained for a long time.
“Where’s the family head?”
The two people glanced at each other warily.
“Don’t know?”
