Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 63
Something smelled fishy.
The reason Heavenly Martial City was creaking seemed to somehow all stem from the Military Advisor?
He couldn’t be certain yet, but somehow he felt like the Military Advisor was trying to weaken Heavenly Martial City.
He could only hope his intuition was wrong.
He was someone who helped build Heavenly Martial City together with Grandfather, so how disappointed and sad would Grandfather be if such a person turned out to be a traitor to Heavenly Martial City.
If the Military Advisor had betrayed and hurt Grandfather, he would not forgive him.
“Do you have a list of other Unje besides the ones in Room Seven?”
“Yes. I have it.”
“How many are there?”
“There are over thirty Unje currently staying at the seventh rank.”
That’s quite a lot.
“Can you move me to the room where those guys are whenever I say?”
“Of course.”
“Good.”
Clap-.
When Jeok Wigang clapped his hands, the scenery rippled and gradually cracked before shattering.
Crash-.
As the scenery shattered into pieces and scattered, the scene that appeared was his own office.
He hadn’t gone anywhere; he had just been in that spot the whole time.
“Keep up the good work.”
As Jeok Wigang was about to leave, Seungwisa asked out of curiosity.
“Are you just leaving like this?”
“So?”
“Aren’t you going to say something like don’t tell anyone about what happened today?”
“Why? I’m stronger than you, so is that a problem? Can’t a trainee be stronger than a Seungwisa?”
“That’s not it, but…”
“Go ahead and tell. You’ll only embarrass yourself. A Seungwisa who got beaten by a trainee.”
That was true.
“If you’re really upset about it, bring some stronger colleagues. I welcome them anytime.”
“N-no, sir.”
“No! That’s a good idea. This worked out well. There must be other guys like you who take money and handle business. Bring them all.”
“Pardon?”
“You even have justification. Say there’s someone who won’t listen and he’s too strong for you to handle, so ask for help. How about it?”
“That’s…”
“Or spread rumors. Say there’s one troublemaker at the seventh rank who’s unmanageable. How about it?”
He was going even further.
By the way, troublemaker.
It really was a perfect nickname.
“What if they really all gather?”
“That’s what I want. It’d be even better if they all gather. I can handle them all at once without having to go around.”
His grinning expression was scary.
“Oh, besides rotten guys like you. Are there Seungwisa who aren’t like that?”
Seungwisa’s expression crumpled.
He felt bad being called rotten right to his face.
Slap-.
At that moment, an impact struck his face.
“What? Feeling bad?”
Under Jeok Wigang’s cold gaze, his bad mood instantly disappeared.
“N-no, sir.”
Seungwisa quickly bowed his head while feeling the throbbing pain in his face.
“I’m not sparing you because I like you. Got it?”
“Yes!”
His whole body broke out in goosebumps at the voice that held not a trace of emotion.
“You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Pardon? Ah. Th-there are!”
“Those guys probably aren’t being treated well. Right?”
“Y-yes, that’s right. They’ve all been pushed to positions that everyone avoids.”
“That’s not right. They’re the real Heavenly Martial City people.”
Jeok Wigang spoke to Seungwisa with cold eyes.
“Gather the guys at the seventh rank who are just like you in one place. And tell me where the proper people are and what they’re doing.”
“Y-yes, I understand.”
“Do well. This is the one chance I’m giving you.”
“Yes! I-I’ll do well.”
“But what’s your name?”
“My name is Tak Yeong.”
Seungwisa Tak Yeong flinched when Jeok Wigang raised his hand.
Jeok Wigang chuckled, patted Tak Yeong’s shoulder, and left.
As soon as Jeok Wigang left, Tak Yeong gasped for the breath he had been holding and collapsed to the ground.
In all his life, this was the first time he had been so terrified.
Should he run far away?
The moment he had that thought, he heard a voice in his head.
– If you run, you die.
A chill ran down his spine.
What is this now?
Why am I hearing voices in my head?
– Go ahead and try running. No matter where you go, I can find you. And remember, the day I find you will be the last day you breathe in this world.
“Yes! I, I understand!”
He answered without realizing it.
– Good. Do well.
A response came back.
Tak Yeong stared at the ground with a dazed expression.
He slowly stood up.
There were things he had to do to survive.
If he said he had something secret to discuss, they would eagerly come running.
Not knowing that a demon awaited them there.
‘Sorry, but I need to save myself first.’
“How pathetic.”
“I’m too embarrassed to tell anyone about this.”
When Tak Yeong asked his fellow Seungwisa for help, they all laughed at him.
“You’re asking us for help because you were beaten by a trainee in the seventh rank?”
Tak Yeong spoke excitedly.
“He’s incredibly strong! You guys should go experience it yourselves! Why would I be doing this otherwise!”
“Whoa whoa! Calm down. Alright. I got it.”
“Is he really that strong?”
“Ugh! You guys know my skills. I’m telling you I got beaten senseless! Well, I was caught off guard, but still.”
“Haha! Off guard my ass. That’s just your real skill level.”
“Go face that guy directly and then talk. I’m telling you he’s the real deal.”
The Seungwisa present showed interest at Tak Yeong’s words.
“That much?”
“Yeah. You guys go get beaten by him yourselves. See if you can laugh then.”
“Oh my, oh my. A trainee shouldn’t be defying a Seungwisa. That breaks discipline.”
“Looks like some troublemaker has entered. We need to go give him a proper education.”
“Where is he now?”
“Room Seven.”
“What? But Unje and the others are in Room Seven.”
“What if he clashes with Unje and they get hurt!”
“I had no choice. He looked ready to kill otherwise. That’s why I’m asking you guys for help! We need to stop him before he causes trouble.”
“Damn it! You should have said that first.”
“Let’s go! Time to catch this troublemaker.”
Tak Yeong took the lead and said.
“I’ll lure him to the waterfall in the outskirts.”
“Got it. Then we’ll wait there.”
The outer waterfall.
Seungwisa had gathered there with murderous expressions.
“When are they coming?”
“Don’t tell me he got caught and is getting beaten up again?”
“Ugh! Pathetic bastard. He’s bringing shame to all Seungwisa.”
“Does it make sense to put such an incompetent fool at the same rank as us?”
“We should talk to the higher-ups and ask them to replace him. This is embarrassing.”
Everyone was full of complaints about Tak Yeong.
“Quiet. He’s still our colleague, so let’s finish this job first.”
At the words of the Seungwisa who appeared to be the captain, everyone nodded.
“Oh? There’s Tak Yeong.”
“You’re right. Is that the guy next to him?”
“He looks more scrawny than I expected?”
“He really got beaten by that guy?”
“This is disappointing. I thought he’d at least look like he had some skills.”
“We’ll know once we meet him directly.”
As soon as Tak Yeong arrived, he moved behind the trainee he had brought.
The Seungwisa looked at him with incredulous expressions.
“What? Are you hiding behind that trainee instead of coming to us?”
“This is really unbelievable. I’ve been watching and watching, but he’s really bringing every kind of shame possible.”
“After we finish educating the trainee, you’re getting some education too.”
Everyone seemed angry at Tak Yeong’s ridiculous behavior.
The trainee, Jeok Wigang, walked forward in front of them.
raised his hand and asked.
“Now, raise your hand if you’ve never received bribes from Unje.”
Everyone stared at Jeok Wigang blankly at his words.
“No one? You’ve all received bribes?”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I thought I said it as simply and concisely as possible. Let me say it again. Anyone who has never received bribes from Unje, raise your hand.”
There was no one.
“So you’ve all received them.”
“So you got it all.”
“You crazy bastard! What the hell are you babbling about?!”
The monk warrior at the front charged fiercely toward Jeokwi River.
Whoosh-.
The short sword in his hand narrowly grazed past Jeokwigang’s face.
Crack-.
“Gasp!”
Before he knew it, Jeokwigang’s fist was embedded in Seungwisa’s abdomen.
Thud-.
He kicked the face of the monk who was clutching his stomach in agony.
Scraaape-.
Thud-.
Whoooosh-.
Another colleague quickly ran over and pulled him out of the water.
“He’s unconscious.”
“Everyone charge at once!”
The Seungwisa all rushed toward Jeok Wigang simultaneously.
“He’s no ordinary guy!”
“Everyone attack!”
The monks charged toward Jeokwi River all at once.
For a moment, there was an illusion that Jeokwigang’s body was splitting into several copies.
“Urgh!”
Groans of agony could be heard from everywhere.
“Ugh!”
“Shut up!”
Groans of anguish could be heard from here and there.
The Seungwisa warriors glare at Jeokwigang with fierce expressions while enduring their pain.
Seeing this, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Why? Does it hit close to home?”
The Seungwisa, who lost their reason at Jeok Wigang mocking them, all charged at once.
“This damn bastard! How dare you mock us?”
Seeing this, Jeokwi-gang chuckled and said.
“Why? Looks like it really hit a nerve, huh?”
The Seungwisa warriors, having lost their reason at the sight of Jeokwigang mocking them, all charged forward at once.
Slash-.
“I’ll kill you!”
While dodging the weapons, he pondered.
Or should I start right away?
Let’s start right away.
Whoosh-.
Swoosh-.
Huff- huff-.
“Keh!”
The Seungwisa who were hit by Jeok Wigang’s fists groaned in agony and fell backward.
Should we put them to sleep in one room?
Or should we start right away?
What’s the point in dragging this out.
Let’s get started right away.
Usually, with this level of pain, people would realize something was wrong and hesitate or try to assess the situation, but these people were different.
Puff puff puff puff-.
“Gasp!”
“Cough!”
The Seungwisa warriors cry out in pain as they are sent flying by Jeokwigang’s punches.
But they endure the pain and charge forward again.
“Oh.”
It was an unexpected sight.
Usually, this level of pain would make someone realize something was wrong and hesitate or try to assess the situation, but not these ones.
He was enduring the pain and charging forward again.
Was anger weakening the pain?
“I can’t lose to some damn brat!”
“I can overcome this kind of pain easily!”
They had more backbone than expected.
Jeok Wigang chuckled at the sight.
“Not completely rotten after all.”
He liked it.
So he planned to educate them more thoroughly.
So they could never fall into corruption again.
Thwack-.
“Kugh!”
Jeok Wigang’s fist sank deep into the abdomen of a Seungwisa who was charging in swinging his sword.
Thud-.
“Kugh! Kugh!”
Unable to breathe, he kept struggling to catch his breath.
When he kicked that Seungwisa’s face and sent him flying, the charging Seungwisa frantically dodged.
As they dodged, gaps appeared, which meant they had become Jeok Wigang’s prey.
Crack- Smack- Crunch-!
With dull sounds on a completely different level from before, the Seungwisa were sent flying in all directions.
This time too they tried to endure the pain and get up.
“Krgh!”
“Urgh!”
They couldn’t stand up.
It wasn’t pain they could endure.
Only then did the Seungwisa, their minds somewhat cleared, look at Jeok Wigang.
They realized he wasn’t someone they could defeat.
“Y-you are not someone we can defeat. Your strength is third grade or higher, so we’ll promote you to third grade.”
“So let’s stop here.”
