Legend of the Evil Martial God

Chapter 93

 

 

 

Turning his head with a pathetic expression, he saw the Sigang Scholar standing there.

The Commander asked with a wicked smile.

 

“So you were here. Could you please explain what’s going on right now?”

“Commander. It’s not too late even now. If you promise to devote your loyalty to the Sacred Sovereign, I will forgive you and convey your loyal heart to the Sacred Sovereign.”

 

At the Sigang Scholar’s words, the Commander chuckled and scratched his ear.

 

“What are you talking about? Just hand over the Imperial Seal quickly. I don’t like being outside for too long.”

“The Imperial Seal is not in my hands.”

“It’s not? Then you have to die.”

 

The Commander quickly reached out his hand to kill the Sigang Scholar.

In that moment, sword qi flew toward him and he quickly withdrew his hand.

 

Crack—.

 

The deep groove carved into the ground showed its power.

 

“Hehehe. So you had something to rely on.”

 

The Commander turned his head toward the person who attacked him as if amused.

There, Taecheon was pointing his sword with a serious expression.

 

“Is it you? The one who used pressure point strikes on our guys?”

“That was me.”

 

Chu Sohwan appeared.

 

“Oh ho. So there were two of you?”

 

The Commander looked at the Sigang Scholar.

 

“In the end, you brought in martial artists? His Imperial Majesty must have been quite desperate.”

 

The Commander smiled as he looked at Taecheon and Chu Sohwan.

 

“I’ll show you directly how futile it is to trust such things.”

 

Rumble—.

 

As the Commander drew up his internal power, the earth began to shake.

 

“Ugh! Tremendous internal energy!”

“H-how can he have such powerful internal power…”

 

Unable to withstand the tremendous energy, the Sigang Scholar fainted with foam at his mouth.

Taecheon and Chu Sohwan were shocked.

Especially, the shock Chu Sohwan felt was greater.

He was a master at the Transcendent level and had recently advanced in realm, but the Commander before his eyes was a master so strong that someone like him wouldn’t even be a match.

 

“T-to think he’s working as an administrator with such martial arts…”

“Hehehe. Do you feel it? The gap in power? Insolent fools. I’ll kill you all.”

 

Seeing that the Commander appeared stronger than those who had suppressed them, the Golden Guards’ spirits rose.

Their expressions brightened.

 

“Hand over the Imperial Seal. Then I’ll consider killing you without pain.”

 

The Commander’s expression looked pleased.

Like a child who had found an entertaining toy after a long time.

 

“Or, if you entertain me, I’ll also kill you without pain. Come at me.”

 

The Commander’s appearance as he smiled, baring his white teeth, was like that of an evil spirit.

 

“Won’t you come? Then I’ll go first.”

 

Just as he was about to launch his body toward Taecheon and Chu Sohwan with a wicked smile.

Jeok Wigang intervened between them.

The moment the Commander saw Jeok Wigang, he stopped moving.

A face that seemed very familiar.

But that face was one he didn’t even want to think about.

At the same time, his body stiffened.

How should he put it?

It felt like prey that had encountered a predator?

Jeok Wigang smiled wickedly and said.

 

“Oh? So you were the Commander?”

 

A tone as if he knew him well.

That tone was familiar.

That tone.

 

“You know me, right?”

 

It came back to him.

Why is that monster here?

 

“Don’t you?”

 

The Commander stepped backward.

 

“I-I don’t know.”

“You know.”

“I don’t know. Y-you must have mistaken me for someone else.”

“Muryang reacted exactly the same way as you?”

 

So that guy Jin Muryang was already caught.

I need to run away.

But my body wouldn’t listen.

 

“Come here. You know what happens if you run, right?”

“I really don’t know you. I don’t know who you’re confusing me with, but you’ve got the wrong person.”

“Ye Yahyeon. Isn’t that you?”

“N-no.”

“Really?”

“Huk!”

 

The commander was startled as Jeok Wigang suddenly appeared right in front of him.

 

“Really not you?”

“N-no.”

“Really? Then I have no choice. If you were my younger brother, I was going to spare you, but if you’re not, I’ll have to kill you. A commander deserves to die anyway.”

 

Jeok Wigang showed his fist.

 

“Hiik!”

 

The commander, no, Ye Yahyeon quickly ducked his body.

 

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang-!

 

Even though he dodged, his clothes were torn and his skin throbbed.

When he looked back, a round valley had formed in what used to be a lush mountain.

 

“You dodge well like Jin Muryang. Try dodging again.”

“Dae-hyeong! I really am Ye Yahyeon!”

 

He urgently shouted that he was indeed Ye Yahyeon, but Jeok Wigang’s fist was already flying toward him.

He dodged with all his might.

 

Jjeok-.

 

“Kehuk!”

 

Hwiririk-.

Kwa-dang-tang-tang-.

 

Hit in the side, his body spun violently and rolled on the ground.

While dodging, he concentrated all his energy on his side to defend, barely managing to survive.

If he hadn’t done that?

He might have died.

 

“You should have spoken up quickly. Seems like your endurance has improved while I wasn’t looking? Seeing how you withstood that.”

 

While they hadn’t met, he had gritted his teeth and trained again and again.

Just in case they met again, preparing for when he’d have to run away or, if he couldn’t escape, get beaten like now.

It was too late to run away.

No matter how fast he ran, shaking off Jeok Wigang would be impossible.

The pain rising from his side made his mind hazy, but he gritted his teeth and endured with mental power as he answered.

 

“I-I did some training.”

“Really? Well done. You learned the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art too, right?”

 

Damn Jin Muryang.

He already spilled everything.

Vowing not to let him off easy when they meet, he released the Thousand Faces Bone Shrinking Art.

Then his sharp features changed to gentle ones.

Seeing his transformed appearance, all the Golden Guards looked at Ye Yahyeon with surprised expressions.

He didn’t particularly want to make excuses to those guys, so he just ignored them.

If anyone complained, he could just rip their head off.

The problem was the pain that wouldn’t subside even after time passed.

Before, after this much time, the pain would have somewhat subsided.

Jeok Wigang grinned and said.

 

“It’s been a while. That face.”

“Have you been well all this time, Dae-hyeong?”

“Yeah. Thanks to you, I’ve been well. There are quite a few things I’m grateful for. That’s why I’m keeping you alive instead of killing you.”

 

Things he’s grateful for?

Just as he was tilting his head in confusion.

 

“Young Master? Do you know this person?”

“Hm?”

“I’ve been following you around since childhood, but this is the first time I’ve seen this person. How did you come to know him?”

 

Oh no.

How should I explain this?

 

“Is this person also a younger brother you knew before reincarnation?”

 

Jin Muryang’s excuse is working again like this.

 

“Y-yes, that’s right. These memories from past lives really make things confusing like this. It’s also strange for an older person to call me Dae-hyeong. Right?”

 

Ye Yahyeon looked at Jeok Wigang with an expression asking what he was talking about.

 

– Just nod your head.

 

Ye Yahyeon was startled by the voice suddenly heard in his head.

 

– C-can you use Sound Transmission?

– I learned a few tricks.

– Did you learn martial arts?

– No, I didn’t learn martial arts but magic arts.

– Dae-hyeong, you don’t have a dantian, do you? How can you do it without internal energy?

– My magic arts don’t require a dantian. I’ll tell you the details later, so just nod along for now.

 

At Jeok Wigang’s words, Ye Yahyeon awkwardly smiled and played along.

 

“So, so you’re saying. D-Dae-hyeong is exactly the same as before even after reincarnating. Hahaha.”

 

At his awkward laughter, Taecheon and Chu Sohwan showed suspicious looks.

Then Jeok Wigang quickly changed the subject.

 

“But why are you in the Imperial Palace?”

“Th-that is…”

 

– I thought if I stayed in the Imperial Palace, Dae-hyeong wouldn’t be able to find me… You rarely come outside, so would there be any reason to come to the Imperial Palace? Even if you came to the Imperial Palace, there would be no reason to come inside, so where else would be more suitable for hiding?

– That’s true. If it were the old me, I wouldn’t have even thought of the Imperial Palace. Now it was fate to meet anyway, even if not here.

– What?

– I’m on my way to take the civil service examination.

– What the hell…

 

The most unsuitable word for Jeok Wigang had popped out.

A civil service examination.

Wait, if he came to take the examination held at the Imperial Palace.

 

– Did you pass the preliminary examination?

– Yeah. I placed first.

– What? F-first place?

– Why?

– W-well, Dae-hyeong was smart. Smart enough to copy anything you saw once.

– Yeah. That’s right.

 

He hadn’t thought of that.

If he had calculated even that, he would never have set foot in the Imperial Palace.

He should have just gone far away beyond the frontier and lived quietly.

He felt regret.

 

“What happened with the commander position?”

“My martial arts are quite strong, you know. I beat up a few guys above me and they gave up their positions on their own.”

 

Did he just beat them up?

They must have been threatened with their lives.

Though he looked quiet and seemed incapable of fighting, Ye Yahyeon was one of the Four Heavenly Demon Gods with formidable martial arts.

His martial arts had become much stronger than before, but still he was no match for Jeok Wigang.

Just from barely dodging that fist earlier, his side still hurt.

Even gathering all his energy to disperse the force of Jeok Wigang’s fist resulted in this much damage.

What if he took a direct hit?

Ye Yahyeon shook his head, not wanting to even think about it.

 

“Anyway, it’s good to see you. I need to handle some Imperial Family business, you’ll help me, right?”

 

Tap tap-.

 

As Jeok Wigang patted his shoulder and smiled, Ye Yahyeon bowed as low as possible and said.

 

“O-of course! If I don’t help Dae-hyeong, who would? I’ll become Dae-hyeong’s hands and feet and help with all my heart.”

“Thanks.”

 

Along with the word of thanks, he heard a sound transmission.

 

– It would be best not to think about running away. I don’t track people by smell anymore.

– Th-then how?

– I told you I learned magic arts earlier. I planted a mark called a Heavenly Energy Mark.

– When?

– Just now when I patted your shoulder.

 

Ye Yahyeon’s expression naturally contorted.

He had planned to reassure him moderately then run away with all his might.

 

– Are you frowning?

 

Oops.

 

– You’re just like Jin Muryang.

– What do you mean?

– You only come to your senses after getting beaten. Shall we have a private conversation just the two of us behind there?

– N-no. I’ll follow Dae-hyeong without needing to talk.

– No. You guys start thinking differently right away when I only talk nicely.

– I absolutely won’t think differently. Really. Please believe me.

– Yeah. I believe you. So let’s talk for a moment?

– I-I can’t go!

– Really?

 

Crack-.

Crash bang clatter-.

 

Ye Yahyeon couldn’t come to his senses.

He couldn’t see Jeok Wigang’s movement at all.

More than the pain that felt like his head would split, he was shocked that Jeok Wigang had become stronger than in the past.

Just as he had become stronger, Jeok Wigang had also grown stronger.

However, the difference was incomparable.

He was already strong, but what was he supposed to do if he became even stronger?

Didn’t heaven know the meaning of moderation?

The magic arts that monster wielded would also be far from ordinary.

Meanwhile, when he suddenly struck Ye Yahyeon while they were having a good conversation, Taecheon and Chu Sohwan stepped in to stop him.

 

“Young Master. How can you suddenly hit someone like that?”

“That’s right. You should have at least pretended you were going to hit him first.”

 

At their words, Jeok Wigang made an expression as if he had forgotten and said.

 

“Ah! Is that so?”

 

Then he looked at Ye Yahyeon and said.

 

“From now on, you’re going to get beaten. Got it?”

“N-no! I, I didn’t know!”

“No. You need to get beaten up a bit.”

“I, I don’t need to get beaten!”

 

Ye Yahyeon stepped backward.

But it was no use.

In an instant, Jeok Wigang grabbed him and quickly disappeared somewhere.

At this, Taecheon and Chu Sohwan shook their heads.

 

“Tsk. Poor guy. So pitiful.”

“He seemed like a tremendous expert. Looks like he can take a beating too.”

“Let’s not worry about it. When has Young Master’s business ever been normal?”

“Right? Well, it’s better for our mental health to just not worry about it. Let’s move the Sigang Scholar lying over there somewhere else.”

“Let’s do that.”
