Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 73
That means he’s someone sent by the fortress lord.
“Did that damn old man catch on?”
“No, he doesn’t know you’re the culprit yet. Only I know, you could say?”
“Is that really true?”
“Yeah. Nobody else knows yet.”
At this, Gongsun Munryong asked with an incredulous expression.
“What’s your reason for telling me this? Do you want me to kill you? Or are you looking down on me? If you think I’m weak just because I sit at a desk, that’s a huge mistake.”
“Let me see…”
As Jeok Wigang muttered an incantation, Gongsun Munryong tilted his head.
“An incantation? Magic arts?”
“Oh? Transcendent level third star realm?”
He immediately identified his cultivation level.
“Were you a magic arts practitioner?”
“Well, something like that.”
“This isn’t the time to be concerned about that, is it? You’re acting so leisurely even after grasping my cultivation level?”
“There must be a reason for acting so leisurely, don’t you think?”
Gongsun Munryong looked around.
Wondering if perhaps the Heavenly Martial Emperor had come here.
He couldn’t sense any presence whatsoever.
That meant he just needed to kill that little rat in front of him.
“Bluffing should be done in moderation.”
“Bluffing?”
“Kekeke. There’s nobody around. Did you think I’d fall for it if you spoke as if you had reinforcements?”
“It’s not a bluff though.”
“Kekeke, enough. I was going to nurture you because I valued your talent highly, but forget it now. Just die.”
As Gongsun Munryong extended his hand, something flew rapidly toward him.
Swoosh-.
Jeok Wigang slightly dodged the rapidly approaching object.
At that moment, dozens of steel needles shot out from the flying object and struck Jeok Wigang’s face.
Pa-pa-pa-pat-.
Jeok Wigang quickly caught the steel needles that hit his face with his hands.
“Kekeke! You fool! What you were hit with are steel needles coated with Five Decay Blood Poison. Your extraction movements are fast, but it’s already been injected into your body. Kekeke!”
“Oh, really? I can’t really feel it though?”
“Foolish bastard. Still bluffing…”
Jeok Wigang examined the steel needles and showed a surprised expression.
“Star Destruction Black Iron?”
“Ho. You know of Star Destruction Black Iron? You really are a talent worth coveting.”
“I know it well. The legendary meteoric iron that can even destroy the Vajra Indestructible Body.”
“Kekeke. You know it properly. It’s a metal that destroys not only the Vajra Indestructible Body but also Body Protection Energy. The weapon that hit you is a Star Destruction Black Needle. No matter how strong a master is, they cannot avoid it.”
“And Five Decay Blood Poison is a legendary extreme poison with no existing antidote.”
“Huh. You even know Five Decay Blood Poison well. It’s really regrettable. So regrettable.”
“You don’t need to feel regret. I only follow the best. That means I won’t follow you.”
Shing-.
Gongsun Munryong drew his sword.
“Even if I left you alone, you’d slowly die anyway, but I don’t like your mouth. I’ll personally educate you.”
Bzzzz-.
Red and vivid Gang Qi covered the sword.
“I’ll cut off your limbs and peel your skin.”
Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.
“Try it if you can. But if you can’t, you’ll have to tell me your true identity, right?”
“Kekeke! Are you curious about that?”
“Yeah.”
Gongsun Munryong, who had been approaching with his sword, suddenly smiled and began chattering.
“Well, it’s nothing difficult. Since you’re going to die soon anyway. Open your ears wide before you die and listen well. I am ranked ninety-fifth in Hundred Demon Heaven, Maroe Shinma.”
“Hundred Demon Heaven?”
“Kekeke. Yes. Remember it well even when you go to the underworld. It’s the name of the great organization that will soon rule the world.”
“Really? If you’re ranked ninety-fifth out of a hundred, you’re really incredibly weak.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Gongsun Munryong’s expression twisted like a demon.
“You’re saying that because you don’t know. Ranking ninety-fifth in Hundred Demon Heaven isn’t an incredibly weak position.”
“Come on. You’re incredibly weak. You said ninety-fifth out of a hundred. You’re just a foot soldier. A foot soldier.”
Maroe Shinma suddenly took a deep breath and then laughed again.
“Kekeke. If you think you can create an opening by provoking me, you’re wrong. I don’t fall for such simple tricks.”
“What do you mean you don’t fall for it. Your face has already turned bright red. Let’s be honest. And Hundred Demon Heaven? What kind of crappy name is that?”
“You’re saying that because you don’t know about Hundred Demon Heaven. The moment the higher ranks step forward, the Martial World will disappear in an instant. The Heavenly Martial Emperor? That kind of person will turn to dust in a day. Do you understand? How terrifying our Hundred Demon Heaven is?”
“Then your Heavenly Lord must be incredibly strong.”
“Strong indeed. The Heavenly Lord is a Demon God. Kekeke. The day he awakens, humans will disappear from this world.”
He was spilling everything on his own.
It seemed he had been quite frustrated, wanting to talk but unable to for so long.
Jeok Wigang listened quietly.
Since he was voluntarily revealing everything so readily, there was no need to interrupt.
But more importantly, when the Heavenly Lord awakens?
Does that mean he’s still asleep?
“I came out to destroy Heavenly Martial City, which blocks the great Heavenly Lord’s path. Kekeke. I will show you. My abilities. The achievement that other demon gods could not accomplish.”
“Where is Hundred Demon Heaven located?”
“Kekekek. I cannot tell you that.”
“Why? I’m going to die soon anyway.”
“Even if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to find it. It’s in a different dimension entirely.”
“Dimension?”
“Only a few advance scouts crossed through dimensions to come here. The dimension won’t open until the Demon God awakens.”
“When will he awaken?”
“That cannot be known. But it’s certain that day is not far off.”
“Not far off?”
“Yes. Kekeke. Within ten years at most, he will descend upon this world.”
“Ten years… Then how do you relay news about the Central Plains?”
“We have Dimensional Transmission Letters. Write on them and inject Internal Power, and they get transmitted.”
Watching Maroe Shinma chattering excitedly, I was dumbfounded.
How much did he want to talk that he’s babbling like this when given the chance?
This was something – there was no need for separate interrogation.
He was voluntarily spilling all the information I was curious about, and excitedly at that.
How did such a stupid fool earn the nickname Maroe?
Did he give himself that nickname too?
At that level, he wasn’t Maroe but rather brainless.
If he had been truly smart, his rank would have been much higher.
For someone called a Military Advisor of Heavenly Martial City, his actions seemed rather sloppy, and now I understood why.
“I have another question.”
“What is it?”
“Where did the real Military Advisor go? Is he dead?”
“Kekeke. Of course. Why would I keep him alive and risk future trouble?”
“Your specialty is transforming into other people, right? No matter how I think about it, using your brain doesn’t seem to be it.”
“You damn bastard, to the very end!”
“Isn’t it strange?”
“What do you mean?”
“It’s been more than enough time for the Five Defeat Blood Poison to spread, yet I’m perfectly fine.”
“Huh?”
Come to think of it, by now my blood vessels should be bulging dark red all over my body, and I should be begging to be killed while writhing in agony.
But I was perfectly fine.
“See? You didn’t notice at all. If you were truly smart, you would have noticed long ago. There’s a reason your rank is low. You really are weak.”
“You damn bastard! You must have been lucky enough to avoid the poison! Fine! I’ll kill you directly!”
Maroe Shinma rushed toward Jeok Wigang with an enraged expression.
At that moment.
Thwack-.
Maroe Shinma staggered backward after receiving a tremendous impact to his right upper body.
When he slowly looked down, his entire right upper body was gone.
“What is this…?”
“I told you. You’re weak.”
“That’s… impossible.”
“Sorry, but your evil energy is too strong. Just die.”
“Gurgle.”
Splurt-.
Red blood gushed out profusely from where his upper body had been blown away.
Thud-.
Looking at Maroe Shinma’s corpse that died instantly, I fell into thought.
“Hundred Demon Heaven…”
At the Transcendent Third Star level, he wasn’t just reasonably strong but an incredibly powerful Martial Artist.
The kind of Martial Artist who could cause great chaos in the Martial World with his individual martial prowess alone.
Yet such an existence was merely ranked ninety-fifth.
And he had even spoken of it proudly.
The higher ranks would truly be unimaginably strong, just as he said.
Moreover, their leader, the Heavenly Lord, was beyond my ability to even guess how strong he might be.
“Hmm. This situation seems quite serious.”
As I turned around while thinking about Hundred Demon Heaven, Maroe Shinma’s corpse began to change, soon transforming into the appearance of a hideous monster.
“What?”
A hideous appearance that you might only see in Hell.
And it gradually turned to ash and disappeared.
Whoosh-.
Jeok Wigang’s expression became serious.
It wasn’t a form that should exist in the Human World.
Are they really coming from Hell?
He had said it was a different dimension.
Within ten years…
The time seemed sufficient, but since it wasn’t certain, I should prepare as much as possible.
However, for that to happen, it wouldn’t be enough for just Jin Mu Sect to become strong.
The entire Central Plains Martial World needed to become strong to prepare for the invasion of the unknown Hundred Demon Heaven.
I’ll blow away every single one that appears, but I can’t protect the entire Central Plains.
Wait, Maroe Shinma?
Could it be that the Four Heavenly Demon Gods are the same kind of bastards?
Probably not, right?
These guys also suddenly appeared and threw the Martial World into chaos.
I’ll have to ask when I meet them later.
Ask if they’re not from Hundred Demon Heaven.
I’ll know from their reaction then.
But what should I tell Grandfather?
Will he be sad if I tell him the Military Advisor is dead?
For now, I should meet him since I need to report this.
“What? The, the Military Advisor is dead?”
Jeok Mugun asked back with an expression of disbelief and shock at Jeok Wigang’s words.
“Yes. It seems he died a long time ago.”
“Huh… Then what kind of bastard was pretending to be the Military Advisor all this time? Which faction sent him?”
“A place called Hundred Demon Heaven.”
“Hm? Did that bastard tell you everything?”
“Yes.”
“He wouldn’t have talked easily. You must have had a hard time.”
“He talked quite easily though.”
“Hm?”
“He seemed to really want to brag. He mistakenly thought I was dying and told me everything.”
“What? Where would you find such a stupid bastard?”
“That stupid bastard was acting as Cheonmu Castle’s Military Advisor.”
Jeok Mugun’s face contorted with humiliation.
“What a disgrace. I’ve realized how neglectful I’ve been of Heavenly Martial City all this time.”
“I’ve cleaned up Museong Hall to some extent. If we eliminate the Seven Star Ranking Method and change it so promotions only happen through the Seven Star Ascension Tower, it should normalize.”
“Thank you. Thanks to you, we were able to prevent Heavenly Martial City from collapsing.”
“Oh, come on. It’s only natural for a grandson to help his grandfather.”
No.
The other grandsons don’t act like Jeok Wigang.
They’re all busy watching his mood and only doing what they’re told.
Jeok Wigang was the only grandson who stepped forward directly and solved problems efficiently like this.
No matter how much he thought about it, there was no one more suitable to be the Cheonmu Castle Lord than Jeok Wigang.
Look at him now.
He solved Heavenly Martial City’s problems in just a few months and even exposed the fake Military Advisor’s scheme that no one knew about.
He had thought it was a bit strange that the Military Advisor kept avoiding him recently, but who would have thought he was a completely different person?
If he had met him directly, he would have figured it out.
Peace must have lasted too long.
“I’ve become too complacent.”
“That’s right. You’ve been neglecting your training too.”
“You little brat?”
Could there be anyone who could scold the great Heavenly Martial Emperor for neglecting his training?
Only one person could do such a thing – Jeok Wigang alone.
