Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 39
The two people nodded their heads.
These two had always only received messages through others and had never been to where the Family Head was.
“Really? Then sleep for a bit.”
“W-wait…”
Thud-.
Thump- Thump-.
The remaining two of the Heavenly Fist Five Guards fainted on the spot from Jeok Wigang’s punches.
Jeok Wigang looked around and moved to find another intact hall.
While doing so, he spoke to the people around him.
“Tell them not to come if they won’t. If I keep destroying things, the place where the Family Head is will eventually appear.”
“What? All of the Heavenly Fist Five Guards were defeated?”
“Y-yes!”
“Just how strong is this bastard that came here for all the Heavenly Fist Five Guards to be defeated?”
“They say one-tenth of the family estate buildings have been destroyed.”
“What?”
“He says he’ll destroy all the halls until the Family Head appears.”
“This damn bastard!”
“You must evacuate for now.”
“I’m the Family Head and you want me to run away? Are you in your right mind?”
“What if the Family Head goes out for nothing and gets beaten by that monster? That would put the family estate in even greater danger.”
“Even without me, isn’t the Young Family Head there? The second son is there too. Those guys will rebuild the Guyang Family anew. It’s fortunate. Those two are in the Imperial City. The Empress is also there, so even if I’m gone and this place disappears, our family won’t collapse.”
“Family Head.”
“Bring me the White Tiger Divine Sword.”
“Family Head? Don’t tell me? Personally?”
“I am the Family Head of this estate. If I hide, will people follow me? I must not show retreat in the face of enemies. Only then can I set an example for my children.”
“Family Head…”
Since there was nothing wrong with his words, they couldn’t stop him.
A person who would do anything for the family estate.
Even if it meant being pointed at by the entire world, if it was for the family estate, he would proceed without a moment’s hesitation. That was exactly Guyang Hyeon.
Even now, he was trying to sacrifice himself for the future of the family estate.
If the Family Head didn’t run away from the enemy but faced them in battle and died gloriously, even if the Guyang Family’s foundation disappeared, the Guyang Family’s spirit would not collapse.
The Young Family Head was alive and well, and the second son was also alive.
“The Young Family Head has grown up and established a household in the Imperial City, and the second son has also established a household in the Imperial City. Above all, the Empress, who is our family’s strength, is also alive. So even if I die here and this place collapses, the Guyang Family will never fall. I will fight gloriously against the enemy until the very end.”
With a smile on his lips, he took the White Tiger Divine Sword that his subordinate brought and confidently left the Family Head’s Room.
Guyang Hyeon, who arrived at the scene, made a stern expression at the more serious situation than expected.
In the distance, he could see Jeok Wigang silently destroying the halls without a word.
“You bastard! Stop! The Family Head of the Guyang Family you were looking for is right here!”
At Guyang Hyeon’s shout, Jeok Wigang’s movements, which had been destroying the hall, stopped.
And he looked at Guyang Hyeon.
With an expression as if wanting something.
Guyang Hyeon shouted.
“I will not bow down to you in a cowardly manner! People of the family estate here, listen! Never step forward until my command is given!”
He had to show himself fighting gloriously against the enemy.
He couldn’t attack while entangled with others.
Because then attention wouldn’t be focused.
Moreover, he had to show himself fighting alone and not yielding to unite the family estate people as one again.
“Come at me! You enemy of the family estate!”
At the word “enemy,” he began smashing the halls again.
When he threw his fist, the hall in front of him collapsed instantly as if it were made of sand.
What is that?
He had heard he was strong, but to that extent.
But without yielding, he drew his sword.
“You bastard! Your opponent is me! Don’t just destroy innocent halls and face me!”
But even at the Family Head’s shout, Jeok Wigang only silently continued destroying the Guyang Family’s halls.
Whoooosh-.
Crumble-.
“This damn bastard!”
Enraged, Guyang Hyeon infused his sword with internal energy.
Even though he wasn’t the head of a martial arts family, Guyang Hyeon was strong.
He possessed martial arts comparable to the Gate Master of mid-tier sects, and the reason he learned martial arts was also to protect the family estate.
Because he had to be strong to protect the family estate.
Holding a sword rippling with bluish energy, he launched his body toward Jeok Wigang.
“Stop it, you bastard!”
Guyang Hyeon swung the White Tiger Divine Sword with all his might.
His opponent didn’t even think of dodging.
What?
He’s not dodging?
He’s really not going to dodge?
You can cut through this so easily?
Though confused, he didn’t stop his sword.
Clang-.
“Urgh!”
The sword that struck Jeok Wigang’s body bounced back from the recoil, causing Guyang Hyeon to stagger greatly.
This is ridiculous.
Jeok Wigang glanced at Guyang Hyeon once, then casually moved his steps toward another hall.
And threw his fist again.
Kuwawa-.
Kwaruru-.
How on earth do you catch a human who’s fine even after being hit by a sword infused with sword energy?
He wildly swung his sword infused with energy again, attacking Jeok Wigang.
Clang- Cladang- Clang clang-.
He unleashed all the martial techniques he could perform with full power, but none of his attacks could stop Jeok Wigang.
“Huff huff huff! Urgh!”
The one who got hit was fine, but the one who attacked was exhausted and dying.
Crack-.
Kwaruru-.
Another hall collapsing.
Thud-.
Guyang Hyeon looked at the collapsing hall with a dejected expression.
Even if we mobilize all the family members, could we stop that monster?
No matter how much he thought about it, it didn’t seem possible.
His energy drained at the thought that he couldn’t achieve any goal.
“Stop… it.”
This is driving me crazy.
If he would just attack back, I could die gloriously in battle and be done with it.
He wasn’t afraid of dying.
Then the family members who saw that would tell the Young Family Head, the second son, and the Empress about the Guyang Family Head’s glorious end, and he would remain as a hero who fought to the end for the Guyang Family.
But he absolutely won’t engage.
Instead, he was showing an unseemly appearance, even dry heaving from exhaustion while attacking.
“Attack me… you damn bastard.”
That’s what should happen.
But he won’t play along.
My head is spinning.
But I can’t surrender like this.
Even if I collapse, I must show that I absolutely won’t back down.
“Fine! Smash it all! Smash it! Do you think I’ll submit to you just because of that?”
I can’t fall for that bastard’s scheme here.
The halls can just be rebuilt anyway.
Kwarurururu-.
Looking at the collapsing hall, Jeok Wigang said to Guyang Hyeon.
“When all the halls here disappear, next will be Ouyang Cheon and Ouyang Baek.”
Ouyang Cheon and Ouyang Baek are the first and second sons.
Those two are the future of the family.
Guyang Hyeon’s eyes widened.
“You bastard! Behind our Guyang Family stands Her Majesty the Empress! Do you think she’ll let you be! No! She won’t let the entire Martial World be!”
“But I’m not from the Martial World?”
“What nonsense! Look at the halls you’ve destroyed! Does this seem like something an ordinary person could do?”
“You used martial arts too. Then you’re also from the Martial World and the Guyang Family is also a martial arts family?”
“That was learned for self-defense to protect the family from you Martial World people.”
“Self-defense martial arts, but you can unleash sword energy?”
“Whether I unleash sword energy or not, what does that matter! It’s not like I used it to roam Jianghu or associate with Martial World people.”
“I don’t even have internal energy. And what kind of martial arts is this? It’s just punching.”
“That’s, that’s impossible! You’re saying you produce that insane power without internal energy? And you blocked my sword with your bare body?”
“Yeah. I’m just pretty sturdy.”
Is that something that happens from being ‘pretty sturdy’?
“And you keep saying Empress, Empress from earlier, but if you keep that up, I might go to the Imperial Palace first.”
“What did you say? You crazy bastard! Don’t refer to Her Majesty the Empress in such a manner!”
“Why? Don’t think I can go there?”
“Unless you’re insane, how could you possibly do that?”
“Don’t you think the buildings in the Imperial Capital would collapse?”
Gulp-.
For a moment, he imagined it.
He imagined even a million-strong army being helpless and flustered.
“I’ll smash everything and mention the Guyang Family. That all of this happened because of the Guyang Family. No wait. Should I just say the Guyang Family instigated this to target the Emperor?”
Grin-.
He’s insane.
“Since you told me to smash everything up, I’ll do as you said. You definitely said that, right? To smash everything up.”
Jeok Wigang looked at the remaining halls and briefly examined something.
Then he grinned and threw a punch.
Kwaaaaang-.
With a single punch, all the remaining halls of the Guyang Family were completely destroyed.
What Jeok Wigang had examined before throwing his punch was whether there were people present or not.
He didn’t want to hurt innocent people.
“There were plenty of houses here, but now there aren’t any?”
With a single punch, dozens of halls had vanished in an instant.
He possessed such insane power yet claimed not to know martial arts?
After destroying all the halls, Jeok Wigang pulled something from his chest.
“Let’s see. Ouyang Cheon lives on Munhyeon District street in the Imperial Capital, and Ouyang Baek lives on Punghwa District street?”
Jeok Wigang grinned as he looked at Guyang Hyeon.
“I have urgent business in the Imperial Capital, you see. Let’s meet again next time.”
Seeing Jeok Wigang waving his hand as he left, Guyang Hyeon came to his senses and quickly ran to grab his leg.
What could his urgent business in the Imperial Capital be?
“No, you can’t! Don’t, don’t touch those children!”
“Why not? You also didn’t choose your means and methods for your purposes. I’m doing the same thing, aren’t I? It’s fine for you but not for me?”
“That, that’s…”
“If you’re upset about it, then be stronger than me.”
Guyang Hyeon squeezed his eyes shut.
Those were words he often said himself.
He never expected those words to come back to him like this.
Guyang Hyeon opened his mouth with difficulty.
“What, what do you want? Tell me.”
“What I want… Actually, until I came here, I was planning to erase the Guyang Family from this world. But when I thought about it, the servants working there aren’t at fault. So I was thinking of eliminating just the direct lineage including you…”
He looked at Guyang Hyeon with cold eyes.
Guyang Hyeon flinched at that gaze and turned his eyes away.
“If I eliminate you bastards, other bastards will take this position and do the same things, right? Rather than that, I thought it would be better to leave you and reform you, so I’m giving you one more chance and only destroyed the buildings. I had to show you what kind of person I am.”
He had seen enough.
At the words about being given a chance, Guyang Hyeon bowed his head.
“What should we do?”
“Do I have to tell you every little thing? You should figure it out yourself.”
“I understand.”
“Who’s the Chief Steward here?”
When Jeok Wigang called for him, the Chief Steward who had been far away came running.
Since he said he was giving the family a chance, the steward thought there was no danger of death and came with an excited expression.
At that moment.
Thwack-.
The Chief Steward’s head flew off.
The steward’s body collapsed lifelessly.
People froze at the shocking scene.
“That bastard was beyond reform, you see.”
The evil deeds committed using his position as Chief Steward of the Guyang Family were too terrible to even speak of.
Did they know?
That the reason the Guyang Family’s infamy had worsened was precisely because of the Chief Steward’s evil acts.
He trembled as he looked at the steward’s corpse, then shook violently when Jeok Wigang slowly approached him.
Was it his turn now?
