Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 78

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang and Gongsun Cheongi exchanged poetry verses back and forth, chatting away without noticing the passage of time.

Finding themselves compatible, they soon dropped formalities and became friends.

 

“Cough! Cough!”

 

Having enjoyed himself so much that he didn’t notice his mental energy being depleted, Gongsun Cheongi began coughing violently.

The guard warriors hurriedly took out herbal medicine, warmed it with Blazing Yang True Energy, and presented it before Gongsun Cheongi.

 

“Young Master. Please drink this.”

“Thank you.”

“You seem to be enjoying yourself, so I hesitate to stop you, but you must be careful.”

“I understand. I met a kindred spirit for the first time and got carried away enjoying myself, so I overdid it. I’m sorry.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s apology, the warrior shook his head as if he was deeply honored.

 

“Wh-what are you saying? I only spoke out of concern for you, Young Master. An apology to me? That’s absolutely unnecessary.”

 

It was clear how much the warriors cherished Gongsun Cheongi.

Jeok Wigang, who had been watching this scene warmly, asked carefully.

 

“What kind of illness is it that a few poetry verses affect you like this?”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s question, Gongsun Cheongi pondered for a moment, then sighed and spoke.

 

“Kang Wi, do you know about Nine Yin Severed Meridians?”

“I do. It’s a disease where nine meridians gradually freeze due to strong yin energy, eventually leading to death. Don’t tell me? You have that disease?”

“That’s right. You know Nine Yin Severed Meridians well?”

“I know it well. I’ve treated it before.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, not only Gongsun Cheongi but all the warriors around them looked at him with surprised expressions.

Gongsun Cheongi asked back with a trembling voice.

 

“Wh-what did you just say?”

“I said I’ve healed Nine Yin Severed Meridians before.”

“Is, is that really true? Did you really heal Nine Yin Severed Meridians?”

 

The claim about having healed it before was a lie to reassure Gongsun Cheongi.

He had never healed it before, but he could heal it.

He just needed to inscribe an incantation that emitted strong yang energy onto the meridians that were freezing due to strong yin energy.

Then the meridians wouldn’t freeze, and instead, overflowing with yang energy, he would be able to freely use martial arts with strong Blazing Yang True Energy.

Of course, since he had never attempted it before, he would need to be extremely careful, but he didn’t think he would fail.

 

“H-how?”

“I learned magic arts. If I inscribe an incantation that produces yang energy onto the meridians that produce yin energy, the yin energy won’t be able to run rampant anymore, and naturally the Nine Yin Severed Meridians will disappear.”

“C-can Nine Yin Severed Meridians really be cured with magic arts?”

 

Jeok Wigang nodded.

Gongsun Cheongi, who had been staring blankly at Jeok Wigang for a moment, got down from his chair, knelt down, and prostrated himself in supplication.

 

“Th-then please heal me! I’ll grant you anything you want! So please heal me!”

“Hey. What need is there for conditions between us? When a friend is sick, of course I should cure him. Actually, I knew you had Nine Yin Severed Meridians from the moment I first saw you. It seemed like you wouldn’t believe me if I just showed off my knowledge… and you might dislike it, so I stayed quiet.”

 

Gongsun Cheongi looked at Jeok Wigang with trembling eyes.

So that’s why he strangely wanted to come to this place today.

It must have been to meet such a benefactor.

In truth, Gongsun Cheongi’s body was reaching its limit.

He was barely controlling the yin energy, but even that was on the verge of collapse as his stamina couldn’t support it.

That’s why he had been living each day in a state of despair.

 

“Young Master! He’s an unverified person! You must be careful.”

 

At the warrior’s words, Gongsun Cheongi said.

 

“What benefit would my friend Kang Wi gain from harming me? And he’s my friend. Please don’t speak carelessly about my friend.”

“Th-that is…”

 

Gongsun Cheongi apologized to Jeok Wigang.

 

“I apologize for their mistake. I’m sorry. But they didn’t mean anything bad by it. They’re all doing this out of concern for me, so please understand with your generous heart.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled and nodded.

 

“I know. You really have good people by your side.”

“That’s right. They’re too good for someone like me.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s words, the guard warriors rubbed their noses shyly and looked away.

 

“You should live a long, long life and show those people your good side. I’ll heal your Nine Yin Severed Meridians.”

“Thank you! Really, thank you. Is there anything I need to prepare?”

“Well, it would be difficult to treat you here, so it would be good if there’s somewhere like a quiet hall.”

“Our family clan has a mountain villa. Let’s go there.”

“Do you really trust what I’m saying?”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s question, Gongsun Cheongi smiled and said.

 

“I trusted you from the moment I first saw you.”

 

At those words, Jeok Wigang chuckled and said.

 

“Then I’ll have to repay that trust. Let’s go.”

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang, Gongsun Cheongi, and their people arrived at Cheongrim Mountain Villa, the Gongsun Family’s villa.

The people managing the mountain lodge hurriedly welcomed them, flustered by the sudden visit.

Gongsun Cheongi told them he had come for recuperation and not to make a fuss, then entered the room with Jeok Wigang.

When the guard warriors tried to follow them in, Gongsun Cheongi spoke.

 

“We’ll be alone.”

 

The warriors looked troubled at Gongsun Cheongi’s words.

 

“Young Master…”

“My friend will be uncomfortable if you come in.”

 

At Gongsun Cheongi’s words, Jeok Wigang smiled wryly and shook his head.

 

“No. They can stay. Their presence won’t be a hindrance or anything.”

“Are you really sure it’s okay?”

“Yes. Their duty is to guard you. So we should consider their position too.”

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, the guard warriors relaxed their wariness toward him considerably.

That didn’t mean they completely let their guard down.

They maintained their stance to respond immediately if Jeok Wigang tried anything suspicious.

Jeok Wigang actually found this attitude more pleasing to see.

 

“Nice. Having guards like that.”

“You probably have some too, don’t you?”

“I do. I suddenly miss them. Should I have brought them along?”

“Show me later.”

“Sure. Let’s begin. First, take off all your clothes and lie down.”

 

He did as instructed, removing his clothes and lying on the bed.

Gongsun Cheongi’s body was gaunt, probably from not eating properly.

 

“It looks pretty bad, doesn’t it?”

 

To the embarrassed Gongsun Cheongi, Jeok Wigang said.

 

“So what? Once your illness is cured, you’ll soon have a good-looking body.”

“Can my illness really be cured?”

“You’ve tried everything to cure your illness so far, haven’t you?”

“Yes. Even the Heavenly Doctor shook his head and left. He said my condition was too serious to be treated.”

“You haven’t tried magic arts though.”

“Th, that’s true.”

“Why? Are you nervous now that we’re about to do it?”

“Yes. It’s my first time hearing about treating the body with magic arts.”

“Ah, this is magic arts, but not the kind of magic arts we know.”

“Then what?”

“There’s such a thing. I’ll tell you about it later when your body recovers. You might be able to understand it?”

“Okay.”

“Well then, let’s begin.”

“…Yes. Please take care of me.”

 

Jeok Wigang nodded and muttered an incantation.

 

“Qi Bright Meridian Manifestation, Blood Vessel True Clarity”

 

As he muttered the incantation, Jeok Wigang’s eyes turned white.

Gongsun Cheongi watched this sight with fascination.

With his White Eyes, Jeok Wigang could clearly see all the qi meridians throughout Gongsun Cheongi’s body.

The qi wasn’t flowing smoothly, and he could see meridians that had turned blue due to terrible cold energy.

There were nine of them in total.

 

‘Should I start with the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin first?’

 

With his eyes turned white, Jeok Wigang muttered another incantation.

 

“Mind Focus Vision Fixed, Micro Open Giant Bright”

 

His white eyes instantly contracted, changing to look like white pupils on black irises.

The sight was so bizarre that the guard warriors tensed up and looked back and forth between Jeok Wigang and Gongsun Cheongi.

Jeok Wigang was using two incantations in overlapping succession.

If the Parsa Kingdom mages had seen this, they would have been horrified.

But this wasn’t the end.

Jeok Wigang greatly magnified the area where cold energy was flowing out, brought his finger to that spot, and began concentrating tremendously hard, blood vessels bulging on his forehead.

Right now, Jeok Wigang was attempting secret arts he was trying for the first time.

That’s why he was concentrating more and more than usual.

Secret arts for carving incantations into very small qi meridians.

It was the Incantation Qi Carving Method.

 

“Sun Rising Heavenly Yang, Qi Channel Spirit Carving”

 

He was now casually attempting the absurd challenge of deploying three overlapping incantations.

If the Parsa Kingdom mages had witnessed this scene, they would have foamed at the mouth and fainted.

From Jeok Wigang’s fingertips, subtle and delicate energy began carving incantations into Gongsun Cheongi’s qi meridians.

A challenge he was attempting for the first time.

A bead of sweat trickled down Jeok Wigang’s forehead.

 

Drip-.

 

The moment a drop of sweat moistened the ground.

 

“Whew!”

 

Jeok Wigang sighed and lifted his finger.

 

“One’s done!”

“Huh? What’s done?”

“I cleared one. Now it’s the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.”

“Al, already?”

“Isn’t it warm here?”

“Huh? It, it is? It’s really warm!”

“Right? Now, let’s do the rest too.”

“Mmm!”

 

Gongsun Cheongi nodded with tears in his eyes, his face filled with emotion.

The guard warriors also saw it clearly.

Blood circulation began returning to the area where Jeok Wigang had placed and removed his finger.

 

 

 

Jeok Wigang looked at the remaining two locations after inscribing incantations on seven meridians.

The remaining two places were the Conception and Governing Vessels.

These were places where even the slightest mistake could lead to immediate death.

Even the people who had watched Jeok Wigang heal the other meridians became extremely tense when he extended his finger toward the Conception and Governing Vessels.

But Jeok Wigang himself was smiling nonchalantly as he extended his finger.

He felt like he could inscribe incantations with his eyes closed now.

Still, he needed to be careful, so he concentrated again.

That’s when it happened.

Perhaps startled by the yang energy rising from the other meridians, the Conception and Governing Vessels suddenly began releasing an enormous amount of yin energy.

At this rate, Gongsun Cheongi, with his weak body, wouldn’t be able to endure it and would die.

He had to block not just one place, but two places simultaneously.

 

‘Really… it keeps making me try new things.’

 

Deploying three incantations simultaneously was already unprecedented, and now he had to split those incantations into two and deploy them at the same time.

Jeok Wigang clicked his tongue.

The Nine Yin Severed Meridians was the first thing to test him to this extent.

But he couldn’t stop here.

If he did, Gongsun Cheongi would die.

The problem was that he needed to chant dual incantations, but he only had one mouth.

Wasn’t there some way?

While pondering, he thought of his clone technique.

There was no law saying he had to summon the entire clone, was there?

It should be fine to summon just a mouth, right?

This was Jeok Wigang making the insane choice of layering a fourth incantation.

The rings in his heart were rotating at tremendous speed.

An ordinary human would have exploded and died.

But this was Jeok Wigang. Soon another mouth formed inside his mouth.

He took a deep breath, extended both hands to place them on the Conception and Governing Vessels, and chanted the dual incantation.

Incantations flowed out from both mouths simultaneously, and white light flowed from both fingertips into the Conception and Governing Vessels.

The other name for the Conception and Governing Vessels is the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death.

It means the mysterious gate where life and death intersect.

The energy of death in the Mysterious Gate of Life and Death resisted powerfully.

 

Crack crack crack-.

 

Gongsun Cheongi’s body trembled greatly.

 

Spurt-.

 

Dark blood burst from his nose.
