Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 41

 

 

 

Jin Muryang looked at Jeok Wigang with widened pupils.

 

“Who told you to call our grandfather an old man? Huh?”

“Th-that’s not what I meant…”

“Come down here.”

“Yes!”

 

Just moments ago, he had been speaking with his hands behind his back and a calm expression, but at Jeok Wigang’s words, Jin Muryang used his Light Body Technique to move forward like a puppy desperate to relieve itself.

Then he respectfully clasped his hands together and stood before him.

 

“I apologize.”

“I’ll let it slide this once.”

“Thank you.”

 

Seeing Jin Muryang like this, the people just stood there dumbfounded, doing nothing.

What had they just witnessed?

Where had the Ghost Lord they so respected and followed gone, leaving only a coward trembling in fear before their eyes?

At that moment, Sakhongui’s shout was heard.

 

“That’s him! The one who bewitched the Ghost Lord! I remember now! It’s him!”

 

At Sakhongui’s shout, the assassins all released their killing intent and rushed toward Jeok Wigang.

 

“Capture him! If we kill him, the Ghost Lord will return to us!”

“Kill him!”

 

Jeok Wigang spoke to Jin Muryang.

 

“It was hard work persuading them, wasn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Go stand back. I’ll help you out.”

“Thank you.”

 

What could “helping out” possibly mean?

Jin Muryang grinned broadly as he stepped back.

 

‘Let’s see you bastards die.’

 

As soon as he stepped back, weapons flying from all directions struck Jeok Wigang’s body.

 

Clang-.

 

They had clearly hit his body, but due to tremendous rebound force, the attacking weapons bounced off.

 

“Wh-what?”

 

Jeok Wigang leisurely received the assassins’ attacks while surveying his surroundings, then asked Jin Muryang for his opinion.

 

“Which ones should I catch first?”

“Those guys dressed in different colors over there are the Five Ghost Leaders, the elders of the Ghost Kill Group. You should catch them first.”

“Oh? I know that guy. He’s the one who was noisily ringing bells back then.”

“You bastard! I don’t know what method you used to subdue me back then, but today will be different!”

 

Jingle- jingle-.

 

Sakhongui began circling around while shaking his bells.

And just as he was about to recite an incantation.

 

Smack-.

Thud-.

 

Sakhongui foamed at the mouth and fainted.

 

“I told you it’s noisy. Shaking those damn things again.”

 

Instantly, silence fell over the plaza.

 

“Sa-Sakhongui in one hit?”

“He may be the weakest among us, but… he’s not someone who should be subdued in one blow.”

 

The Five Ghost Leaders looked at Jeok Wigang with trembling pupils, then spotted Jin Muryang beaming brightly behind him.

His smile seemed to say ‘You’re all screwed now.’

 

“Hey! Get away!”

 

A shout heard while momentarily distracted.

The moment he turned his head, he saw a fist right in front of his eyes.

 

Crack-.

 

“Keh!”

 

Crash-.

Thud-.

 

Another Five Ghost Leader foamed at the mouth and fainted.

In an instant, two of the Five Ghost Leaders had been knocked unconscious.

Two Five Ghost Leaders remained.

Docheon Ghost and Geombaek Ghost.

 

– Damn it, where did this monster come from…

– I’ll attack the left side, so you take the right.

– Will Sword Energy work?

– Surely he’s not going to block Sword Energy with his body too.

 

Zzzing-.

 

A bluish Sword Energy clearly formed on Docheon Ghost’s blade and Geombaek Ghost’s sword.

 

– Let’s go!

 

At the signal, they attacked Jeok Wigang from both sides simultaneously.

 

Clang-.

 

“Kugh!”

 

However, the weapons wrapped in Sword Energy that could supposedly cut through rock like tofu bounced off without even piercing human skin.

Docheon Ghost and Geombaek Ghost looked at Jeok Wigang with expressions of shock.

 

“He’s not human.”

“How can he block Sword Energy with his bare body…”

 

That was the last conversation between the two before they lost consciousness.

It was from that moment.

A great tiger began rampaging among a flock of sheep.

 

“Kyaaak!”

“Kugh!”

 

Thud thud thud-.

 

Jeok Wigang swept through the Ghost Kill Unit Main Base with an excited expression, and no one could stop him.

Scattering poison, activating traps, shooting hidden weapons and arrows – nothing worked.

Then the last resort flew toward Jeok Wigang.

Jeok Wigang caught the black sphere flying at him with his bare hands.

The moment he wondered what it was.

BOOM-!

The black sphere exploded with a tremendous roar.

Thick smoke covered the spot where Jeok Wigang had been standing.

 

“Got him!”

“Kahaha! You bastard! You never dreamed of a Thunder Bomb, did you?”

“We won’t even find his corpse!”

 

The excited assassins cheered in triumph.

Then a gust of wind blew, clearing away the smoke.

Jeok Wigang appeared, standing in the exact same pose he’d been in when catching the Thunder Bomb, his clothes now in tatters.

Jeok Wigang grinned.

 

“Interesting. So this is the power of bombs.”

 

Everyone in the plaza froze solid.

 

“Im, impossible.”

 

Starting with someone’s shocked cry, the area instantly became chaotic.

 

“R-run! He’s a monster!”

 

The assassins began running toward the entrance.

At that moment.

 

Whoooosh-.

 

A strong wind passed through the assassins.

 

CRASH-.

 

The valley’s only entrance collapsed with a thunderous roar.

The assassins found their escape route blocked in an instant.

They slowly turned around to see Jeok Wigang approaching from the distance, baring his white teeth.

 

“D-don’t come closer.”

 

Their attacks didn’t work, and he was incredibly strong too.

Hadn’t they just seen it?

He’d collapsed the valley with a single punch.

The assassins looked back and forth between the blocked path and the approaching Jeok Wigang, not knowing what to do.

Then one assassin screamed and charged at Jeok Wigang.

 

“Aaaaah! Die!”

 

He seemed to have lost his mind from fear.

 

Crack-.

 

But the result was settled in one blow.

He collapsed to the ground and lay there having small convulsions.

The assassins instinctively knew.

That would soon be their fate as well.

 

 

 

“Ugh.”

“Ouch.”

“Urgh!”

 

Groans of pain could be heard from all directions.

Assassins were scattered everywhere on the ground along with broken various weapons and hidden weapons.

They all couldn’t even control their bodies properly and were suffering in pain.

Jeok Wigang asked the agonizing men.

 

“Now, from now on I’ll make security my profession. Hands.”

 

No one raised their hand.

That was only natural since there wasn’t a single assassin who was unharmed.

In fact, they probably couldn’t even hear Jeok Wigang’s voice due to the pain.

Jin Muryang asked.

 

“Isn’t your question wrong?”

“No, it’s perfectly fine.”

“No one raised their hand just now though?”

“Right. That’s what I was hoping for.”

 

Then one person struggled to raise his hand.

 

“There’s one person.”

“Set that bastard aside.”

“What? What are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to heal them all and start over from the beginning.”

 

What did he just say he was going to do?

Heal?

 

“Did you also learn medicine?”

 

Since he was so smart, Jin Muryang wouldn’t doubt it even if he said he had learned medicine.

 

“No, it would take over a month to heal all of them with medicine.”

“Then how do you plan to do it?”

 

He couldn’t understand.

 

“I need to heal them right now.”

“What? All those people right now?”

 

Actually, if he channeled stronger energy through his fists with Healing Incantation, he wouldn’t need to heal them separately, but that had drawbacks.

Since there would be no wounds even after taking hits, it wouldn’t give a big shock to the observers.

Until they experienced it directly, they wouldn’t know the severity of the situation and would desperately fight back, so though it was troublesome, he healed them separately.

Moreover, since those who were hit would have their bodies intact, it was also annoying that they would mistake it for being under an illusion or having a dream.

Healing was just a matter of reciting incantations, so it wasn’t difficult or bothersome work.

Leaving behind the surprised Jin Muryang, Jeok Wigang placed his palm on the ground.

At the same time, he began muttering something.

 

“Heaven Energy Flow, Earth Energy Gathering, Spirit Root Return, All Wounds Self-Heal”

 

Then white lines appeared throughout the entire plaza, creating a massive Formation Method.

Jin Muryang, who was seeing a Formation Method deployed like this for the first time in his life, was amazed.

It was fast, concise, and above all, looked effortless.

However, his amazement soon turned to shock.

A brilliant light from the Formation Method drawn across the entire plaza illuminated the world, and it began healing all the assassins who had been suffering just moments before.

The assassins who had been writhing in pain suddenly found their pain disappearing, leaving them bewildered.

And the assassins soon realized why their pain had disappeared.

 

“Since you didn’t raise your hands, we’re starting over from the beginning.”

 

Jeok Wigang leaped back into the flock of sheep.

Seeing this, Jin Muryang trembled and muttered

 

“My God… what the hell did that man learn?”

 

He had learned something tremendous.

From now on, rebellion was truly unthinkable.

Getting beaten and fainting wasn’t the end of it.

He would heal them again and beat them again.

Jin Muryang squeezed his eyes shut.

He really felt like he couldn’t handle this alone.

He resolved that he would find the remaining three people by any means necessary.

Meanwhile, Jeok Wigang’s fists moved relentlessly as he found the assassins he had marked earlier.

Those assassins were worse bastards than Jin Muryang.

Though they submitted to his fists now, there was no telling what they might do when he wasn’t around.

 

‘Found them.’

 

Thwack-.

 

Two assassins’ heads flew off in an instant.

The venue became as quiet as if it had frozen.

Until now, he had only been beating them without killing anyone.

But now people had died.

Jeok Wigang smiled with a cold expression and said.

 

“Oops, I accidentally put too much force into it. My mistake.”

 

Then he raised his head and apologized to the others.

 

“Sorry. I’ll control my strength better now.”

 

The assassins were paralyzed with fear.

Unlike before, now it had become a situation where they could actually die.

That fear pushed the assassins to their limits.

This entire situation was what Jeok Wigang had intended.

He had spared the assassins he had decided to kill and used them at this dramatic moment.

Thanks to that, look.

It was showing a much more definitive effect.

Seeing this much more frightening, cunning, and evolved appearance than before, Jin Muryang’s legs gave out from terror.

He collapsed to the ground and regretted.

Why did I continue being an assassin?

It was already too late.

Now there was only one way to survive.

He would have to pretend to die if Jeok Wigang told him to.

The reason the assassins, who had lived prepared for death, felt such terror was because of the Formation Method that Jeok Wigang had deployed.

Life Revival Formation

It was a formation method that not only healed physical wounds but also encouraged the will to live.

Since the will to live had risen, how much attachment to life must have grown.

Because of that, the fear of death was maximized.

How much time had passed?

Jeok Wigang, who had come back to Jin Muryang’s side, asked in a quiet voice.

 

“Now, from now on I will make escort work my business. Hands.”

 

Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-.

 

Hundreds of hands shooting up vigorously.

Pain and such things weren’t important.

If they didn’t raise their hands, even greater pain and fear of death would come again.

When all the assassins in the plaza raised their hands, Jeok Wigang smiled with satisfaction and said to Jin Muryang.

 

“Everyone agrees, don’t they? Now there’s no problem with changing business types, right?”

“Of, of course. Dae-hyeong.”

“A guest has come and you won’t offer a cup of tea?”

“Please follow me. I have some very excellent Supreme Dragon Well Tea.”

 

The former Ghost Kill Unit members trembled in fear as they watched Jin Muryang guide Jeok Wigang with an excited face and Jeok Wigang following behind him.

 

 

 

“You’re telling me to establish a base in Yullyang County, Honam Province?”

“Yeah. To be precise, I’d like you to set up near the Jin Mu Sect.”

“Jin Mu Sect. Since the name is similar to mine, I feel affection for it.”

“From now on, if anything happens to the Jin Mu Sect, you need to step forward and protect them.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. That’s why I’m having you do escort work.”

“Was the reason for converting to escort work to protect the Jin Mu Sect?”

“Why? Don’t you like it?”

 

When Jeok Wigang’s expression hardened, Jin Muryang was startled and waved his hands while speaking.

 

“No, no! I like it!”

“Then prepare as much as possible and we’ll move.”

“Understood.”

“Talk to those guys properly too. If by any chance you fail to properly protect the Jin Mu Sect and something happens to my family, it would be good for them to be prepared.”
