Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 82
Now when Baek Seojin unleashed his martial arts, the sword would harmonize with him and assist, amplifying his power even further.
Though Baek Seojin had felt this sword was like one body with him before, now that feeling would be greatly enhanced. It would feel as if they were truly one body.
Hum hum hum-.
The Blue Light Sword continuously expressed its gratitude.
“Are you satisfied?”
Hum hum hum-.
“Good. I’m pleased too. From now on, help your master well and protect Heavenly Martial City.”
Hum hum hum-.
Smiling at the Blue Light Sword’s response-like humming, he sheathed the sword in its scabbard.
“Now, shall we go deliver the sword to our customer?”
When Jeok Wigang came to visit, Baek Seojin’s expression hardened.
“What? Why are you here already?”
“Why do you think I came?”
“Did something go wrong with my sword? If that’s the case, you’d better prepare yourself.”
“Nothing went wrong. The repair is finished.”
“What?”
Baek Seojin looked at Jeok Wigang with a surprised expression.
“Already finished? In just one day?”
“Yes.”
“That’s nonsense! Even Cheonjang Gong shook his head saying it couldn’t be repaired, so how is that possible!”
“If you don’t believe me, try drawing the sword.”
As Jeok Wigang handed over the sword, Baek Seojin received it with half-belief and half-doubt.
Though he didn’t trust Jeok Wigang, his trembling hands showed he seemed nervous.
Swallowing his saliva, he gripped the handle and slowly drew the sword.
Shing-.
Watching the sword slowly being drawn, Baek Seojin’s eyes widened enormously.
“Th, this is…”
His widened eyes soon changed to rapture as he carefully caressed the fully drawn sword.
Hum hum hum-.
As the sword hummed, Baek Seojin spoke.
“Y, yes… You, you’ve returned.”
A trembling voice.
Would a parent’s voice sound like this when their dying child recovered?
It was filled with affection.
“You’ve returned to that same appearance as before.”
Baek Seojin continuously stroked the sword surface.
Hum hum hum-.
“You want to spar?”
Hum hum hum-.
“Heh heh heh. Alright. Let’s spar.”
Baek Seojin immediately ran to the training ground and began swinging his sword.
No matter how much he swung the sword, it made no sound.
However, waves rippled along the sword’s path, distorting space itself.
Baek Seojin wildly swung his sword as if in a trance.
His expression was beaming with joy.
Swoosh-.
Kwa kwa kwa bang-.
The moment he brought down his sword at the end, half the training ground was blown away with a thunderous roar.
Startled by the sound, Baek Seojin looked around his surroundings.
“What’s this?”
“You seemed too immersed.”
At Jeok Wigang’s voice, Baek Seojin spoke with an admiring tone.
“I, I suppose so. It’s perfect. More perfect than before. Now it feels just like my own body.”
“Are you satisfied?”
“Satisfied? Huh… It’s not just satisfaction, I’m even thinking the compensation might be too little.”
Jeok Wigang grinned.
“Then since you’re satisfied, shall we settle the payment?”
“Hehehe. I understand. Let’s go to the Reception Hall.”
“Let’s do that.”
Baek Seojin sheathed his sword and looked at Jeok Wigang walking ahead.
Then he looked around again.
The Training Ground was completely devastated.
It was natural since he had fallen into a trance and swung his sword freely.
But he wasn’t alone in that Training Ground.
Baek Seojin looked at Jeok Wigang.
The fact that Jeok Wigang was unharmed meant he had dodged all the sword strikes.
Curiosity arose.
Baek Seojin gripped his sword and aimed at Jeok Wigang.
Shiiing-.
Sword Qi was released from the suddenly drawn blade, carving deep into the ground as it flew toward Jeok Wigang.
“You shouldn’t do that.”
Seeing Jeok Wigang easily dodge his attack while smiling, Baek Seojin realized he hadn’t been mistaken.
“I thought you weren’t an ordinary person, but to dodge my sword strike so easily.”
“It’s a dangerous world. One should at least be able to protect oneself.”
“Hehehe. Is that so? Do you know how to handle a sword?”
“I know a little. I need to in order to repair swords.”
“That’s right. But to repair it this perfectly, it seems like more than just ‘a little.'”
At Baek Seojin’s blazing eyes, Jeok Wigang shook his head.
He looked like he absolutely wouldn’t let this go.
“As expected, that won’t work. My specialty isn’t the sword.”
“Oh ho. Then what is your specialty?”
“This.”
When Jeok Wigang held out his fist, Baek Seojin grinned.
“Bare-Handed Fighting is good. But against a sword, Bare-Handed Fighting is difficult. How about it? Don’t you want to learn the sword? I’ll teach you.”
“Are you saying you’ll take me as your disciple now?”
“Hehehe. If you want?”
At Baek Seojin’s words, Jeok Wigang shook his head.
“Sorry. I don’t like carrying things around. Bare fists are more comfortable for me.”
“My, my. You say that because you don’t know how good swords are. I’ll show you directly.”
“Fine. If you show me that swords are really good, I’ll do as you wish.”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Baek Seojin grinned and picked up a practice sword from one side of the Training Ground.
“Now, I’ll let you experience directly how convenient and good swords are.”
Jeok Wigang just smiled.
“Come. Do everything you can.”
“Well, I’ll do as you wish.”
Baek Seojin didn’t even take a stance.
He was busy thinking about how to teach his new disciple.
That’s when it happened.
“What are you thinking about so hard?”
Before he knew it, he heard Jeok Wigang’s voice along with a fist that had stopped right in front of his nose.
Whoosh-.
A fierce wind blew belatedly, scattering Baek Seojin’s hair.
“Wh-what?”
Baek Seojin jumped back in surprise.
He couldn’t react at all.
Baek Seojin looked at Jeok Wigang with shocked eyes.
“Do you really think swords are stronger than fists? You almost got hit just now, didn’t you?”
At Jeok Wigang’s words, Baek Seojin’s expression hardened.
He had thought this wasn’t an ordinary guy, but he couldn’t even see how he moved.
What if he had been an enemy?
What if Jeok Wigang had been holding a sword instead of bare fists?
Cold sweat ran down his back.
“Shall we do it again?”
Baek Seojin nodded.
He wanted to see exactly how he had moved.
Unlike before, this time he focused intently on Jeok Wigang.
“Should I go again this time?”
“Yes. Come.”
“Then I won’t hold back.”
Flash-.
I can see it.
Clang-.
He wanted to immediately draw his sword to deflect the incoming fist and tell him.
You just lost your wrist.
Whoosh-.
But contrary to expectations, the sword cut through empty air.
Tap tap-.
He felt goosebumps rise as someone tapped him from behind.
Could it be?
Slowly turning his head, he saw Jeok Wigang standing there with a smile.
“You’ll need to move a bit faster.”
“When did you?”
What is this?
This monster?
Such a being existed in Heavenly Martial City?
But this is the first time I’ve seen his face.
“What exactly are you?”
“I cannot tell you that yet.”
“L-let’s go again.”
“I don’t have much time though.”
“Th-this is the last time.”
“Alright.”
“This time I’ll go first.”
“Go ahead. Ah! You can use the Blue Light Sword too.”
“What?”
“Use your internal energy as well. That way it’ll be a proper match.”
“Are you looking down on me right now?”
“It’s not that, but the balance doesn’t seem right. This way I can’t properly gauge my abilities. Just because you use the Blue Light Sword and internal energy doesn’t mean you can’t stop at dangerous moments, right?”
“Hmm.”
It wasn’t wrong.
“Fine. I acknowledge you, so I’ll do as you say.”
Though his pride was hurt, he decided to acknowledge Jeok Wigang.
Eventually, he drew the Blue Light Sword and looked at Jeok Wigang with a serious expression.
“From now on, I won’t think of teaching you, but will attack considering you my equal opponent.”
“That’s what I was hoping for.”
I’ll show you.
The greatness of the sword.
The Blue Light Sword flashed and space distorted in a straight line.
Crack-.
At the same time, a black, deep mark was carved where Jeok Wigang had been standing.
‘To dodge Blue Flow Single Line so easily… He really is a monster. I can go all out.’
Seeing Jeok Wigang dodge so easily, Baek Seojin raised the level of his attacks.
“Cloud Fate Lying Path!”
The energy released from Baek Seojin’s sword quickly flew in a curve following Jeok Wigang.
At the same time, he swung his sword consecutively toward the directions Jeok Wigang might dodge.
“Brilliant Light Five Rings!”
Five sword rings flew from the Blue Light Sword to surround Jeok Wigang, completely blocking any escape route.
He had reduced the power, so even if hit, it wouldn’t be fatal.
Just as he thought he had finally shown proper swordsmanship and was about to feel satisfied.
Boom-!
The ground erupted with a thunderous roar.
Clang clang clang-!
The sword qi and sword rings all bounced off as they struck the erupted ground.
Whoosh-.
Jeok Wigang burst through the erupted ground.
“Oh no!”
He quickly turned his sword and thrust it toward Jeok Wigang.
Swish- swish-.
Fast and powerfully changing techniques fiercely pressured Jeok Wigang.
But something felt subtly off.
At that moment he saw it.
Jeok Wigang’s hands moving quickly to slightly deflect the Blue Light Sword’s path.
Was he predicting all the rapidly changing techniques and deflecting the sword path?
Or was he seeing everything with his eyes and reacting?
Either way, he was definitely a monster.
With an incredulous expression, he deployed his techniques even more variably.
But Jeok Wigang was still leisurely deflecting the rapidly changing sword paths to make them miss.
This was impossible.
Excited, Baek Seojin unknowingly began infusing energy into his sword.
That energy grew stronger until bluish Gang Qi formed on the Blue Light Sword’s surface.
‘Oh no!’
Realizing he had unleashed Gang Qi from concentrating too hard, he tried to withdraw his sword.
Ting-.
He was deflecting a sword imbued with Gang Qi with his bare hands.
Startled, Baek Seojin wondered if he had seen wrong and resumed his martial techniques after properly coating his sword with Gang Qi.
Pa-pa-pat-.
He hadn’t seen wrong.
He was deflecting the Gang Qi-coated sword entirely with his bare hands.
At that moment, Baek Seojin’s movements stopped.
An expression of shock.
He was confused whether he was dreaming right now.
“Are you finished now?”
He couldn’t answer Jeok Wigang’s question and just stared blankly.
No matter how much he looked and looked again, he appeared to have just passed his coming of age.
Yet he hadn’t been pushed back at all against him.
He didn’t even seem to be using his full strength.
He was overflowing with leisure as if out for a stroll.
Where did such a monster come from?
“You… are you from Heavenly Martial City?”
“Hmm. Strictly speaking, I’m not from Heavenly Martial City, but I have deep connections?”
“Deep connections?”
He didn’t seem like a bad person.
Well, if he were a bad person, he wouldn’t have repaired his Blue Light Sword so perfectly.
Just by perfectly repairing the Blue Light Sword, Jeok Wigang was the kindest person in the world to Baek Seojin.
“Why are you staring so intently? It’s embarrassing.”
Baek Seojin chuckled at Jeok Wigang’s words.
He sheathed his sword and said.
“Right. Make sure to tell me who you are later.”
“Yes.”
“Have you thought about learning swordsmanship? I think you’d be incredible if you learned the sword.”
“I’m sorry. The swordsmanship I learn is just at the level of swinging around.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I mean I can’t properly execute martial techniques because I lack Internal Energy?”
Baek Seojin asked in disbelief, startled.
“What? Wh-what do you mean?”
