Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 48
That way, I can find out where and how things have rotted.
“Ki, kill him! He’s an enemy!”
At the Captain’s shout, the Warrior Corps Members rushed toward Jeok Wigang.
The dazzlingly moving swords seemed ready to slice Jeok Wigang to pieces at any moment.
But those swords never managed to cut even the hem of Jeok Wigang’s clothes.
Thud thud thud thwack-.
Crash clang clang-.
The Warrior Corps Members flew in all directions without even knowing what hit them.
The Captain watching this gripped his sword properly and glared at Jeok Wigang.
“To cause a disturbance in Heavenly Martial City. You must be mad with a death wish!”
“I know. That this is Heavenly Martial City.”
“People will come rushing soon! Do you think you can get out of here alive?”
“I don’t care.”
Jeok Wigang slowly walked toward the Captain.
As if looking down on him.
The Captain’s face contorted at that sight.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes!”
The Captain charged with a voice full of resentment.
Thwack-.
He thrust his sword with all his might, but that was the last memory the Captain saw before losing consciousness.
“Ugh!”
The Captain got up from his spot, clutching his heavy head.
His body felt heavy as if he had some kind of nightmare.
“Damn it… I should cut back on alcohol…”
As he tried to get up with his heavy body, the ground wasn’t soft but hard.
“What?”
Looking at the ground, it was the floor of Righteous Sword Hall paved with black stone.
“Why am I here…?”
When he raised his head, he saw his subordinates with their heads buried and one leg raised.
Why are they doing that?
At that moment, a face appeared right in front of the Captain’s nose.
“Gasp!”
Startled, he stepped back and looked to see who it was, then remembered.
“You, you’re… in my dream, that…”
Wait, wasn’t it a dream?
“The Captain wakes up last, as expected.”
The Captain couldn’t collect himself and rambled incoherently.
He thought he had a nightmare, but it wasn’t a nightmare but reality.
How much time had passed?
It seemed like quite a while since he fainted?
More importantly, why isn’t anyone coming?
When such a commotion happened?
It didn’t make sense.
“Why? Strange that your subordinates or people from Heavenly Martial City aren’t coming?”
The Captain unconsciously nodded his head.
“I deployed a Void Sealing Formation. Even if they hear sounds and enter this room, other people can’t see us. So they’ll think they heard wrong and leave.”
“Su, such…”
“Why did you do such a thing? If you’re a warrior of Heavenly Martial City, shouldn’t you not do such things?”
“Aren’t warriors of Heavenly Martial City human? All humans have desires. That is human nature. I merely acted according to my nature.”
“Mencius said this. Without a heart that knows shame, one is no different from beasts. Seeing how you act according to your nature without knowing shame, you’re no different from a beast.”
What a fresh attack.
Having lived as a warrior all his life, and now Mencius?
What should he answer here?
It would be better to fight with fists or swords.
He absolutely couldn’t fight with words.
“Argh! Do, don’t use words…”
“Use fists instead?”
Jeok Wigang raised his fist.
Right.
He remembered.
He fainted from that fist.
Fists won’t work either?
No.
It could be because he let his guard down.
The Captain said.
“I formally request a duel with you. Earlier, it was because I let my guard down.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled softly.
“Fine. Get up.”
Jeok Wigang gave the Captain time to get up and compose himself.
He threw something to him.
“What is this?”
“Tiger Heart Pill. We need to fight properly so you won’t make excuses later.”
Is he mocking me?
The Captain glared at Jeok Wigang.
“If you’re not going to take it, give it back.”
After glaring, he quickly tossed it into his mouth.
Right now, he needed to add even a little more strength.
The Captain trusted Jeok Wigang.
He knew this man would never do anything cowardly.
When he took the elixir without suspicion, his anger subsided somewhat.
If I beat him moderately and make him into a proper person, it would help Heavenly Martial City.
The Captain took a deep breath and began circulating his internal power.
Then the Tiger Heart Pill spread quickly and revealed its effects, nearly causing his energy and blood to become tangled from surprise.
It wasn’t an ordinary Tiger Heart Pill.
It was an elixir much better than a Tiger Heart Pill.
“Wh-what is this? This isn’t a Tiger Heart Pill?”
Jeok Wigang smiled slyly.
“It’s better than a Tiger Heart Pill. I didn’t give it a separate name.”
“It’s not a Tiger Heart Pill?”
“I thought you wouldn’t believe me if I said it was an elixir I made.”
He was deceived in a different way.
The Captain chuckled softly.
Then he gave a cupped fist salute and said.
“I am Dong Gwang, Warrior Corps Captain. Please teach me.”
“Let’s just say I’m a guest of Heavenly Martial City.”
“You can’t even tell me your name?”
“Earn my recognition. Then I’ll tell you.”
At Jeok Wigang’s provocation, Dong Gwang clenched his teeth tightly.
He would definitely earn recognition.
He raised his bluish glowing sword to eye level, glared at Jeok Wigang, and infused internal power into his legs.
He planned to approach in an instant and cut Jeok Wigang’s body.
Whooom whooom whooom-.
The moment the sword trembled.
Paang-.
Dong Gwang’s form quickly advanced toward Jeok Wigang while simultaneously extending his arm.
“Crushing Energy Wave Shock!”
Swang-.
A massive crescent filled the room and advanced toward Jeok Wigang.
There was only one direction for Jeok Wigang to dodge.
Dong Gwang prepared his final strike targeting that spot.
Sure enough, Jeok Wigang moved in that direction.
‘Got him!’
The Crushing Energy Wave Shock was bait.
This is the real one.
“Single Point Explosive Crush!”
Tzang-.
Powerful sword qi extended in a straight line toward Jeok Wigang.
There was no space to dodge.
Paang-.
It hit!
The moment he thought that, Jeok Wigang’s figure faintly disappeared.
“Huh?”
When he turned his head, he saw Jeok Wigang had already moved right beside him.
“Form Exchange Position?”
Wasn’t this a divine movement technique that only Transcendent Realm absolute masters could use?
“A Transcendent Realm master!”
He wasn’t someone he could face from the beginning.
He thought he had let his guard down because he looked like a scholar, but that wasn’t it.
Rather, his opponent had been going easy on him.
He was fortunate to be alive.
Clang-.
Dong Gwang’s sword fell to the ground.
He had lost his fighting spirit after seeing Jeok Wigang’s movements.
“I have lost.”
How could he win against a master who used Form Exchange Position?
His tone naturally became respectful.
Moreover, he couldn’t even escape due to the unknown Formation Method.
“Where is my sword?”
“It’s at my house. I liked it so much that I unconsciously became greedy. I’m sorry. I’ll return it right away.”
Jeok Wigang looked at Dong Gwang intently.
“Hmm. Not bad.”
What wasn’t bad?
He was curious but held back.
“You should have been honest from the start. Don’t you think?”
Dong Gwang remained silent.
“Now, let’s begin.”
Dong Gwang tilted his head.
Begin what?
At those words, he saw the subordinates who had somehow risen from their seats trembling with fear.
What was this?
This ominous feeling?
“Wh-what? What are we starting?”
“Education.”
“Pardon?”
“I’ll make sure to engrave it so you never fall into injustice again.”
As Jeok Wigang spoke with a sinister smile, Dong Gwang stepped back and said,
“I-I’ve come to my senses! I-I won’t fall into injustice again.”
“Words are easy. There’s one thing I’ve learned in my life, and that’s that words don’t work.”
“Th-that’s unreasonable…”
The scene of Jeok Wigang’s fist flying toward him was reflected in Dong Gwang’s trembling pupils.
“When you see injustice?”
“Risk my life to uphold justice!”
“If you fall into injustice?”
“We meet again!”
“That’s right! If you fall into injustice, we meet again. Look forward to that time. I’ll show you that today’s education was child’s play.”
Dong Gwang and the Warrior Corps Members hoped this moment would pass quickly.
Since he came as a guest of Heavenly Martial City, it would end when he left.
They just needed to humor him for now.
“I said I was a guest of Heavenly Martial City, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“Whose guest do you think I am?”
Dong Gwang spoke as if something came to mind.
“Back then, you clearly said you were a guest of Heavenly Craft Road.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Then whose invitation brought you here?”
Jeok Wigang smiled sinisterly and took out a Divine Token from his chest.
“Do you know what this is?”
The pupils of Dong Gwang and the Warrior Corps Members began trembling violently when they saw the Divine Token Jeok Wigang produced.
“Th-this is… isn’t this the Castle Lord’s Divine Token?”
“That’s right.”
“D-don’t tell me? Was the Castle Lord the one who invited you?”
“Yes.”
The people there were shocked.
“He’s my grandfather. Now you understand? We can meet again anytime.”
The faces of Dong Gwang and the Warrior Corps Members turned to despair.
“When you see injustice?”
“Risk my life to uphold justice!”
“If you fall into injustice?”
“We meet again!”
“That’s right.”
As Jeok Wigang put the Divine Token back in his chest, Dong Gwang asked,
“If you had shown that Divine Token from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“Then I couldn’t have found guys like you.”
“Pardon?”
“Since I’m here anyway, I thought I’d help Grandfather. For that, people shouldn’t know my identity. Don’t you think?”
“Y-yes, that’s right.”
“Why do you think I’m telling you this?”
“Don’t reveal your identity?”
“Correct. If my identity is ever exposed, I’ll know it was your doing, and then we’ll have a reunion. Understand?”
“Yes!”
“Good. And release Yeom Hwa. From what I can see, he seems innocent.”
“Understood! I’ll release him right away!”
“Good.”
The formation method was released and other people entered.
“Oh? Captain! You were here?”
“Hm? Yeah. What’s the matter?”
“The Grand Marshal is urgently looking for you!”
“Oh? Got it. I’ll go now.”
“Are you planning to go dressed like that?”
“Huh?”
At his subordinate’s words, he looked at his clothes and was startled.
He had been beaten so badly by Jeok Wigang that his clothes had turned to rags.
Seeing his clothes brought back memories of that time, making his skin crawl.
“Ah, got it. I’ll change clothes and go right away.”
“Yes!”
After the subordinate left, Jeok Wigang spoke.
“I’m leaving too.”
“Yes! P-please take care!”
“Ah! Who are the ones who framed Yeom Hwa?”
“The Fair Official of the Main Workshop is my younger brother… sir.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Bring all the ringleaders to Yeom Hwa’s house this evening. Understand?”
“Understood.”
“By any chance, are you thinking of protecting your younger brother?”
“Not in the slightest!”
Protection my ass.
He was filled with the urge to run over and stomp on his younger brother who had made him encounter a demon.
But now the demon was looking for him.
He absolutely had to bring him.
His younger brother should experience it too.
Then his anger might subside a little.
Of course, after his brother got his beating, it would be his turn next.
But he wouldn’t go too hard.
He’d just beat him enough to vent his frustration moderately.
Seeing Dong Gwang grinning wickedly, Jeok Wigang was convinced he had no intention of protecting his younger brother. He chuckled and left the room.
As Jeok Wigang left, Dong Gwang let out a big sigh of relief.
“Haah! I barely survived.”
“You’re telling me.”
“Who would have thought he was that person’s guest.”
“Not just a guest, but like a real grandson.”
“Shh! Keep it down. If this leaks out, we’re dead.”
At Dong Gwang’s words, everyone shut their mouths tight.
“Later… let’s talk among ourselves somewhere private.”
“Yes.”
“I need to go urgently, so you all go and release Yeom Hwa immediately.”
“Understood.”
