Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 87
Jeok Wigang nodded his head.
“Passing it to someone who knows its value would make that spear happy too. Please use it well.”
Gu Yahuk received the spear that Jeok Wigang offered with trembling hands.
At this, Gu Daegeuk asked with a puzzled expression.
“What is that?”
No matter how he looked at it, the spear seemed unremarkable, yet his father was reacting like that.
It seemed like there was some story behind it.
“Have I ever shown greed for a spear in all my days living until now?”
“No. You said that a true master shouldn’t be obsessed with such things.”
“That’s right. But this spear is different. It feels like my lost limbs from long ago.”
Gu Daegeuk was surprised.
It was the first time he had seen his father obsess over something to that extent.
“Are you really giving this spear to me?”
“Yes. I don’t think there will be anyone else as suited to that spear as you, sir.”
“Th-thank you! But is it really okay to just receive something this expensive like this…?”
“I told you. I’ve filled the entire amount I was aiming for.”
“Isn’t money something where the more the better?”
“Having just enough for what you need is sufficient.”
“Huh.”
Jeok Wigang found Gu Yahuk very much to his liking.
“How much is that spear that you’re acting like this?”
At this, Gu Yahuk handed over the spear and said.
“Since you’re a merchant, try appraising it.”
Gu Daegeuk, who had been very curious about the spear, immediately received it and examined it.
Being his son, Gu Daegeuk possessed the same energy as Gu Yahuk.
As soon as he grasped the spear, he immediately understood what his father meant.
It fit perfectly in his hand, and it truly felt like it had become one with his body.
Then Jeok Wigang’s explanation was heard.
“When you infuse lightning energy into the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear, its power doubles.”
“What did you say?”
“Is, is that really true?”
“Yes.”
Gu Yahuk looked at the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear with a trembling voice.
When he had only touched it, he couldn’t tell because he hadn’t infused internal energy.
Gu Yahuk quickly grasped the spear and infused his internal energy.
Crackle-.
Instantly, powerful lightning began swirling around Gu Yahuk.
Crash-.
“Ah, Father! The house is collapsing!”
“Oh no!”
This was inside a room.
Gu Yahuk was startled and withdrew his energy.
Rumble-.
However, it was already too late.
The ceiling roof collapsed and the sky became visible.
“S-sorry.”
“It’s fine. You called it the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear? It really does scatter heavenly thunder like its name.”
Before, he had just liked it, but now it felt like he couldn’t live without it.
Gu Daegeuk said.
“If I were to sell the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear to someone else, I would ask for two thousand gold taels. Even then, anyone who knows this spear’s true value would buy it saying it’s cheap.”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying! The Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear isn’t just a simple weapon. This is… a divine artifact.”
Gu Daegeuk asked Jeok Wigang with an expression of disbelief.
“You’re really going to give away something this incredible for free?”
Jeok Wigang smiled and nodded his head.
“Don’t you have some purpose?”
“A purpose… I do have one.”
At the mention of having a purpose, Gu Yahuk’s eyes became serious.
“Become strong and protect Heavenly Martial City well.”
At those completely unexpected words, Gu Yahuk asked back with a dazed expression.
“What?”
“That’s my purpose.”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t from Heavenly Martial City?”
“If you’re not from Heavenly Martial City, does that mean you can’t like Heavenly Martial City?”
“That’s not it, but….”
Gu Daegeuk interjected.
“I’ll pay the price. This isn’t something I can just accept for free.”
“I already received payment.”
“I never gave you any?”
“Five hundred gold taels for dantian healing and five hundred gold taels for the divine spear. That’s a total of one thousand taels. I received it well.”
Jeok Wigang waved two receipts around while smiling.
“Th-that wasn’t my treatment fee.”
“I heard it was five hundred gold taels.”
“Didn’t I say one thousand taels again and you refused to accept it?”
“No, you didn’t.”
“Wait. Father. Please hold onto him so he can’t leave.”
“Alright.”
Gu Daegeuk went out again.
He was clearly going to get money.
“If that person returns, it’ll cause trouble. I’ll be taking my leave now.”
“You can’t go.”
Gu Yahuk blocked his path.
At this, Jeok Wigang grinned and leaped toward the hole in the roof.
Gu Yahuk quickly chased after Jeok Wigang, not wanting to let him escape.
“Didn’t I tell you that you can’t leave?”
He reached out his hand to catch Jeok Wigang.
Swoosh-.
He swept through empty air.
“Huh?”
Before he knew it, he could see Jeok Wigang had escaped quite far away.
“Not bad, are you?”
Interest sparked in Gu Yahuk’s expression.
“Is it magic arts? Let me see what kind of magic arts you have besides healing.”
Gu Yahuk swiftly launched his body toward Jeok Wigang.
Gu Yahuk instantly closed the distance and reached out his hand again.
Swoosh-.
“Huh?”
It seemed like he would catch him but didn’t, which was frustrating.
“This brat?”
He increased his speed even more.
Swoosh-.
It seemed like he would catch him if he reached just a little further, but he didn’t.
“What the?”
Even when he moved faster, the result was the same.
Eventually, Gu Yahuk chased him all the way to a deserted open ground.
“How long are you planning to chase me?”
“Until I catch you.”
“You’ll never catch me in your lifetime.”
“Ha. Are you provoking me right now?”
“Please think of the spear as a gift I’m giving to you, elder, and use it well.”
“Fine. If you beat me, I’ll do as you say.”
“What?”
“If you don’t like it, then accept it.”
“Oh my.”
Gu Yahuk grinned.
He wouldn’t dare fight him, so now all that was left was to receive the money.
Even he thought it was a clever move.
“Alright. I just need to win, right?”
“Yes. Good thinking… Huh? What did you say?”
“You said I just need to beat you, elder.”
“Ha…. Did you forget who I am?”
“No. You’re one of the eight pillars of Heavenly Martial City. One of the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars.”
“You know well, so where does this confidence come from?”
“We don’t have time, so let’s start quickly.”
“Alright. Wait just a moment.”
“Why?”
“I need to find something to replace the spear. This is the only thing I brought with me.”
Gu Yahuk was holding the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear in his hand.
He was clutching it preciously, afraid it might disappear.
“Use the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear. This works out well. We can test the spear’s power too.”
“What? Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
“You seem to be taking me too lightly?”
“No. I’m being serious right now. If you want to face me, you’ll need that Divine Spear.”
“What?”
“Let’s begin.”
What kind of confidence is this?
“When I treated my son’s dantian, I noticed you have deep knowledge in magic arts. Fine, let’s see. How amazing your magic arts are.”
“I don’t use magic arts when fighting.”
“What?”
“I’ll use my martial arts.”
“Martial arts? Huh?”
Seeing Jeok Wigang take his stance, he tilted his head thinking it was a posture he’d seen many times before.
Then one martial art came to mind.
Thinking it absolutely couldn’t be that, he shook his head to dismiss the thought and fell into contemplation again.
“Aren’t you going to start?”
“Hmm. That stance… I’ve seen it many times before. What other martial arts take a stance like the Three Talents Fist?”
“This is the Three Talents Fist.”
“What?”
“I said it’s the Three Talents Fist.”
“A-are you saying you’ll use the Three Talents Fist against me who wields the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear?”
“Is that not allowed?”
“Of course not! You’re saying you’ll face me with martial arts that can be bought for a few coins in the marketplace, and you expect me to just stand here and watch!”
“What’s wrong with the Three Talents Fist? It’s also martial arts.”
“That’s not martial arts!”
“Then what are martial arts?”
“What?”
“Isn’t martial arts the result obtained through practicing martial techniques and achieving mastery? Just because it’s martial arts sold in the marketplace, you shouldn’t belittle someone’s efforts like that.”
“Fine. Then let’s see. That result you speak of.”
“Good. I’ll show you.”
“Come!”
At the call to come, Jeok Wigang leaped toward Gu Yahuk and thrust his fist downward while descending.
“Heaven Fall Drop!”
It was the Heaven Fall Drop of the Three Talents Fist.
Gu Yahuk also knew this technique.
Though the technique’s name was grandiose, it was just a technique that involved jumping into the air and striking down with the fist.
So he was about to think nothing of it.
Shiver-.
Feeling all the hair on his body stand on end, he quickly dodged.
Kwaaaaang-.
A deep crater formed where he had just been standing, accompanied by a thunderous roar.
“Wh-what? You said it was the Three Talents Fist.”
“That’s right. It’s the Heaven Fall Drop of the Three Talents Fist.”
“This is?”
This wasn’t the Heaven Fall Drop.
The Heaven Fall Drop could never produce such power.
If this was the Heaven Fall Drop, the Three Talents Fist would be treated not as marketplace martial arts but as a precious divine technique.
“I’m continuing.”
“Huh?”
Gu Yahuk unconsciously gripped the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear tightly.
Jeok Wigang was approaching menacingly.
“Human Chain Break!”
He could see Jeok Wigang’s two fists moving rapidly in succession.
Whirlick-.
Gu Yahuk quickly spun his Divine Spear to block the fists.
Thuddeong-.
“Kheuk!”
Slide-.
Even though he blocked the fist with his Divine Spear and dispersed the force, his body was pushed back with considerable impact.
He couldn’t believe it.
His arm, still tingling, was telling him how strong Jeok Wigang’s attack had been.
“How was it? The Three Talents Fist is quite useful, right?”
“I see. It’s not the power of the Three Talents Fist that I know.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
‘It’s not the Three Talents Fist, that boy is a monster.’
Gu Yahuk revised his assessment of Jeok Wigang’s strength.
“From now on, I won’t see you as an easy opponent but will face you as my worthy rival.”
“Now I’ll finally get to properly experience the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear.”
“Fine. Here I come! Keep your wits about you. My spear is as fast as lightning.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Jeok Wigang finished his response, the spear tip approached right to his nose.
Slightly dodging his head, he thrust his fist toward Gu Yahuk’s abdomen.
Paang-.
Along with the sound of air bursting, it struck the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear properly.
Thwang-.
“Kugh!”
What kind of fist hurts this much even when blocked?
If it had been any spear other than the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear, it would have already broken.
The punch that Jeok Wigang had just thrown was also the Three Talents Fist.
Heaven Origin Crush.
The most basic straight punch.
It’s just a simple straight punch, yet it has this kind of power.
Jeok Wigang’s Heaven Origin Crush came in succession.
Against Jeok Wigang’s incoming fists, he was too busy dodging to even think of counterattacking.
This won’t do.
He injected internal power into the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear.
Crackle- Crackle-.
Silver-white lightning burst forth from the spear in Gu Yahuk’s hand and concentrated at the spear tip.
“Heavenly Thunder Explosion!”
As he thrust the spear toward Jeok Wigang, a flash wrapped in lightning was unleashed toward Jeok Wigang.
Gu Yahuk had no intention of ending it there.
Jeok Wigang would surely dodge this attack easily as well.
He poured in more internal power.
Crackle-.
An attack that connected with Heavenly Thunder Explosion.
It was Heavenly Extreme Light Flash.
It was a martial art where the moment Jeok Wigang dodged, more energy would be added to the exploding Heavenly Thunder Explosion, causing the flash to spread in all directions and penetrate everything in a straight line.
Gu Yahuk’s energy was added to the lightning flash extending far out, connecting like a silver-white tail.
This was an absolutely unavoidable attack.
The moment he concentrated on controlling the power so it wouldn’t be fatal at the end.
He saw it.
A fist being thrust toward the Heavenly Thunder Explosion.
No way?
Crash-.
The Heavenly Thunder Explosion and the fist collided, creating a circular shockwave, and the energy of the Heavenly Thunder Explosion was torn to shreds and scattered in all directions.
Crackle-!
The destroyed remnants of lightning were flickering above Jeok Wigang’s fist.
Gu Yahuk looked at Jeok Wigang with a shocked expression.
He had neutralized it before the power could even be reduced.
It was the Heavenly Thunder Explosion whose power had been doubled by the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear, with even more internal power added to deploy Heavenly Extreme Light Flash.
He had shattered it with his fist.
“What exactly are you?”
“Let’s just say I’m someone with connections to Heavenly Martial City.”
