Legend of the Evil Martial God
Chapter 88
Jeok Wigang shook off the remaining Lightning Energy from his fist and said.
“Want to continue? Or surrender?”
At the word surrender, Gu Yahuk’s expression twisted.
“I wasn’t using my full power because I was worried you might get hurt.”
To that, Jeok Wigang smiled and said.
“Then I’ll have to make you use your full power. Now, focus.”
“What?”
The moment he wondered what to focus on.
Sensing an ominous feeling, he quickly raised his spear to block the front.
Crack-.
“Kugh!”
An impact of a completely different dimension from before struck Gu Yahuk.
“I wasn’t using my full power either. If I want to make you surrender, I should do it properly too.”
Good heavens.
He blocked Heavenly Thunder Explosion with his fist, and that wasn’t even his full power?
What was even more shocking was that judging by the force he just felt, that was actually true.
He thought he was holding back, but it was the opposite.
Gu Yahuk tried to concentrate Internal Energy into his spear to respond.
“Too slow.”
“Wh-when?”
At the heavy impact, he looked down to see Jeok Wigang’s fist already embedded in his abdomen.
Crack-.
“Kuhek!”
Gu Yahuk’s body shot high into the air.
Jeok Wigang spun around and kicked the rising Gu Yahuk away with a back kick.
Whoosh-.
Smack-.
Crash clatter clatter-.
Gu Yahuk fell to the ground and rolled pathetically.
Even in the midst of this, he held tightly to his spear without letting go.
How long had it been since he rolled on the ground like this?
He couldn’t even remember clearly.
Gritting his teeth, Gu Yahuk sprang up from his position and began frantically thrusting his spear at Jeok Wigang.
His opponent wasn’t someone who would conserve strength like that.
Full power.
He had to use his full power.
Gu Yahuk’s Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear, infused with his full power, turned red and scattered blood-colored lightning everywhere.
Crackle-.
“Spear Lightning Unity!”
Gu Yahuk became one with his spear and attacked Jeok Wigang frantically.
Each movement contained Gu Yahuk’s entire soul and spirit.
However, it was meaningless to Jeok Wigang.
Thud-.
Crack-.
“Kugh!”
A fist that penetrated through his attack filled with all his soul and spirit.
How was this possible?
What on earth was that fist made of to penetrate so easily through a spear mixed with Lightning Energy and Gang Qi?
The struck area throbbed and ached as if it had been torn apart.
His mind became hazy, but he couldn’t collapse like this.
He had to try everything he could until the very end.
Creak-.
Crackle-.
He squeezed out every last bit of strength and poured it into the Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear.
“This is everything I have! Heavenly Thunder World Destruction!”
Blood-colored lightning shot up to the sky from the spear tip, then poured down toward Jeok Wigang with a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.
He would have to dodge it.
That couldn’t be blocked with a fist.
The moment he thought that.
The scenery before his eyes disappeared briefly, then became clear again.
Whoosh-.
Steadying his body that swayed in the powerful wind, he looked up at the sky.
Heavenly Thunder World Destruction had vanished without a trace, and the clouds floating in the sky had a very large circular hole punched through them.
Slowly lowering his head, he saw Jeok Wigang in a pose as if he had thrown a punch toward the air.
Had the Fist God descended?
If he had taken that punch himself?
Shiver-.
He wouldn’t be standing here unharmed like this.
Gu Yahuk spoke with a trembling voice.
“I, I… lost.”
“That’s a relief. I was worried about what to do if you didn’t surrender even after this.”
Looking at Jeok Wigang who spoke with a grin, Gu Yahuk recalled.
Cheonmu Castle that Jeok Wigang would rule.
‘That child! The next successor who can be completely entrusted with Cheonmu Castle’s future.’
It seemed like no being could defeat Jeok Wigang.
He, one of the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars and at the Transcendent realm, had been one-sidedly beaten and lost.
Even though he was holding the divine artifact called Heavenly Thunder Divine Spear.
Moreover, Jeok Wigang didn’t seem to have used his full power.
He was curious.
“How much strength did you use against me?”
Jeok Wigang held up one finger.
It was so absurd that he laughed.
“The final attack used about two stars’ worth of power.”
Something that could change the shape of clouds in the sky was only two stars?
Then if he used his full power?
No matter how he thought about it, Jeok Wigang was suitable as the next Cheonmu Castle Lord.
He loved Cheonmu Castle and cared about it more than anyone.
Moreover, his character wasn’t bad and above all, he was strong.
Where else could there be a more perfect successor for Cheonmu Castle?
The Castle Lord had said.
If there’s a decent guy around, don’t hesitate to recommend him.
“Now that I’ve lost, that spear’s owner is you, sir.”
“Th, that’s right… Thank you.”
“Well then, I’m busy so I’ll be going.”
Whoosh-.
Gu Yahuk stared for a moment at the empty space where he had disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only swirling dust, then hurriedly moved to meet the Castle Lord.
When Gu Yahuk came looking for him urgently, Jeok Mugun could now guess what he had come for.
“Why? Did you also find the perfect successor?”
“H-how did you know?”
He spoke with a grin.
“Before you came, two other guys already recommended someone and left.”
“The person those guys recommended and the person I’m recommending are on different dimensions. Despite being of tender age, he completely overwhelmed me! With that level of power at that age, there’s an incredible being whose potential growth is unimaginable!”
At the words pouring out like a machine gun, Jeok Mugun chuckled and asked.
“Is that guy’s name perhaps Kang Wi?”
“Huh? Ah, do you know him?”
“The other two guys also recommended that guy and left. It seems he’s going around selling weapons to the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars.”
“What? Going around selling weapons? You mean there are other weapons besides the spear?”
“Many. That spear you’re holding is probably one he made himself too?”
“No. He said it was a family heirloom.”
“If he had come saying he wanted to sell a spear he made himself, would you have even met with him? So he deliberately did it that way.”
“Hah…”
He felt completely hooked.
“Castle Lord seems to know that child well.”
At Gu Yahuk’s question, Jeok Mugun’s mouth stretched to his ears.
“I know him well. Of course! Very well indeed.”
“Perhaps… is he already the successor?”
“Successor? No, that guy is just the next Cheonmu Castle Lord.”
“Hahaha! I was worrying for nothing. I rushed here in anxiety thinking he might go somewhere else.”
“I need your help too. Actually, I’ve marked him as the next Castle Lord candidate, but he doesn’t seem very interested in doing it.”
“What? It’s not just anything else, but becoming the owner of Cheonmu Castle?”
“Do you think that child you saw would want Cheonmu Castle?”
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
“No. He seemed like a free spirit.”
“Right? That’s why I’ll need help later.”
“I will definitely help.”
“That’s reassuring.”
“What is that child’s identity? Where on earth did he come from?”
“He’s my grandson.”
“What?”
“Why are you so surprised? He’s my own grandson.”
“Then, the Youngest Young Master’s?”
“That’s right. So I need to go to Jin Mu Sect once. To persuade my son.”
“Persuade?”
“I don’t know about other things, but that guy seems to listen to his parents. So I’m going to apologize for what happened and ask for help.”
“Amazing. To think he was your own grandson.”
“Right?”
“What is the next Castle Lord’s name?”
“It’s Jeok Wigang.”
Gu Yahuk nodded his head.
“So he’s currently selling weapons to the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars?”
“That’s right. He seems to need money. Even when I offered to give it to him, he stubbornly insisted on earning it himself.”
The Cheonmu Castle Lord’s wealth was enough to buy an entire nation.
He would generously give any amount desired.
Yet he wouldn’t accept handouts and insisted on earning it himself.
There really wasn’t a single thing about him that wasn’t admirable.
‘He’s completely smitten with Wigang. Completely smitten.’
A laugh escaped him.
This guy pretended to have no interest in Cheonmu Castle while making all of its core figures his own people.
Yes.
Keep doing exactly that from now on.
“I’ll be going now.”
“Leaving already?”
“Yes. If he’s selling weapons to the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars, I’m thinking of gathering them all in one place so he won’t have to go through the trouble of finding each one individually.”
“His identity is a secret. You know that, right?”
“Yes!”
“Then let’s work together to make our Wigang the Next Castle Lord.”
“I’ll do my best.”
For several days, Jeok Wigang sold weapons to the leadership rather than the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars.
Before he knew it, he was holding a bundle of receipts in his hand.
There were twenty-seven receipts in total.
With five hundred gold taels per receipt, he had gathered a whopping thirteen thousand five hundred gold taels.
‘This should be more than enough to greatly expand the Jin Mu Sect, right? If it’s not enough, I can always earn more later.’
He planned to leave after earning exactly fifteen thousand taels.
The reason he didn’t ask Jeok Mugun for money was because he thought his parents would dislike that.
He planned to earn the remaining fifteen hundred taels he needed from the remaining three people among the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars, excluding his uncle.
The problem was that two of the remaining three people were difficult to meet.
One of them had no information available about their whereabouts at all.
For now, he was heading to see Byeokgung Star Im Muhyeon, who was at least approachable, when he encountered Gu Yahuk on the way.
“Hehehe! There you are. I’ve been looking for you for quite a while.”
“For me? Why? Is there some problem with the spear?”
“No. Do you happen to deal with other weapons as well?”
What’s this?
Did word get out?
“I heard you’ve been going around selling weapons to other people too.”
Word did get out after all.
“Oh my, it seems word has spread.”
“It would be strange if word didn’t spread. Going around selling such incredible weapons.”
“I’m sorry for deceiving you.”
“No. I didn’t come to confront you about it, but because I want to recommend your weapons to my acquaintances.”
“Acquaintances?”
“Among the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars, Byeokgung Star, Heukbu Star, and Mumyeong Star.”
Huh?
He had been worrying about how to meet them.
Things were working out for Jeok Wigang.
“I’d like to arrange a meeting. How about it?”
“I’d be grateful.”
“Hehehe! Alright then. How about meeting at the place where we had our duel this evening?”
“Sounds good.”
“You know what weapons those guys use, right?”
Jeok Wigang grinned and nodded his head.
“Then I’ll see you this evening.”
“Should I bring alcohol too?”
“Hehehe. Good idea!”
Three people sat with indifferent expressions.
They were Heukbu Star, Mumyeong Star, and Byeokgung Star among the Eight Heavenly Martial Stars.
“What is it? What’s so urgent that you called us here in such a hurry?”
“If it’s something trivial, be prepared.”
Two of them grumbled while one sat silently with arms crossed.
“Look at this.”
When Gu Yahuk showed them his Divine Spear, the eyes of those who had been indifferent at first began to sparkle.
“Wh-what is this?”
“Where did you get such an incredible item?”
“I bought it for five hundred gold taels.”
“Really? You got it incredibly cheap? Where on earth?”
“That’s exactly why I called you all here today. If you can buy weapons from that kid, you should.”
“Kid?”
“The person selling weapons is young?”
“That’s right. He’s about twenty now.”
“Huh. Such a kid goes around selling these things without knowing how scary the world is?”
Of course he wouldn’t know how scary the world is.
When you’re that strong, you don’t need to know how scary the world is.
No, the world should tremble and cower before that child’s terrifying power.
“I liked it so much that I wanted to recommend it to you all as well. Since you never come Outside, I was frustrated that you might miss this opportunity, so I called everyone together like this.”
