Evil Hegemon Martial God
Chapter 10
Do you know what a fountain is?
It’s a device that makes water shoot upward by applying water pressure through a narrow opening.
Life and matter that can only be bound to the earth forever, challenging the natural order for the sake of wonder.
That’s why a fountain is both marvelous and shocking.
It means it’s enough to approach those who see it for the first time with shock and terror.
The reason we commonly use the idiom “fountain of blood” is also the same.
Puhwaak-!
Blood gushing from the carotid artery.
A body swaying after losing its master.
A head rolling on the floor…
All of this was so surreal that everyone couldn’t accept it in an instant.
However.
“Aaaahhh!!!”
Lady Oh, who was the first to recognize reality, let out a scream that was indistinguishable from a death cry and embraced her dead son, Wiyeon, in her arms.
“Yeon-a, Yeon-a…!”
Even though attaching a dead person’s head to their body wouldn’t bring them back to life.
Lady Oh clutched the pale head and flailed her hands as if trying to somehow reattach it.
“No, no, no, no…!”
Lady Oh was half out of her mind, and the elders also awakened from their trance and became aware of reality due to the surreal scene and realistic reaction.
Chang-!
“Jegal Jeokun-!!”
Jegal Tan drew his sword and pointed it at Jeok-un as he spoke.
“Drop your sword! Right now, immediately!”
To the demand to drop his sword, Jeok-un did not respond.
He just stared quietly at his dead half-brother.
You insolent fool!”
Did he think he was being ignored?
Jegal Tan raised his voice.
Only then did Jeok-un look at Jegal Tan.
In Jegal Tan’s eyes, numerous emotions were melted together – bewilderment, hostility, shock, and more.
It wasn’t different for other people either.
They all looked at Jeok-un, who had caused fratricide, with faces of disbelief or expressions of disgust.
However, unlike them, Jeok-un’s eyes contained not a bit of emotion or the slightest wavering.
‘I need to kill this bastard right now to eliminate future troubles.’
Before his regression, Jegal Wiyeon had poisoned his father and brothers, then rose to the position of General Commander of the Martial Arts Alliance using his father’s and family’s prestige.
Then he quickly erased the reputation that Jegal Mun had built up with all sorts of foolish acts.
The Demonic Cult actually used the ridiculous plans he made, causing great damage not only to the Martial Arts Alliance but also to his own Sapyeonjeon.
But when that bastard judged there was no longer any chance of victory, he was the first to defect to the Demonic Cult.
He even offered many warriors of the Sega who opposed him as sacrifices to the Demonic Cult.
‘Of course, his greatest sin was daring to harm my mother.’
However, if he hadn’t acted, Jegal Sega would not have killed Jegal Wiyeon.
Even the most terrible punishment would have been at the level of being imprisoned in Noe-ok for life.
Jegal Wiyeon was a descendant of Geumhwang Sangga, one of the three great merchant groups of the Central Plains.
The senior members of Jegal Sega, who belonged to the establishment of Jeongpa’s leadership and great families, might have actually tried to hush it up, saying it was a family disgrace and stain.
So he took it directly.
The life of this vermin, Jegal Wiyeon.
“Jegal Jeokun! This is the final warning! Drop your sword!”
Jegal Tan raised his voice.
Jeok-un finally seemed to acknowledge Jegal Tan, shifting his gaze to him with an “Ah” reaction.
“Why should I do that?”
“What, what did you say?”
“I merely took the head of my enemy. I don’t understand why I should be treated like a criminal.”
“You bastard!!”
Pajik-!
Energy waves erupted from Jegal Tan’s entire body.
The moment he was determined to carry out his will even if it meant fighting, if Jeok-un wouldn’t drop his sword.
“Jegal Jeokun.”
“!!”
The resonant voice of the family head, Jegal Mun, called out to Jeok-un.
Everyone’s gaze turned to the family head.
Jegal Mun’s martial prowess was at the peak of the Transformation Realm.
If he set his mind to it, the moment Jegal Mun moved, Jegal Jeokun would be easily subdued.
The elders, whose faces had lost all color, looked at the family head with such expectant eyes.
Suaa!
Indeed, Jegal Mun was also enraged, as a terrifying energy was emanating from his entire body.
Jegal Mun slowly began to speak to Jeok-un.
“Can you stake your life on proving that your words are true?”
“Of course.”
When Jeok-un respectfully lowered his sword in front of him and answered immediately, Jegal Mun uttered words no one expected.
“Then prove it.”
“Fa, Family Head!”
Jegal Tan was flustered.
This was the second young master who had crossed the line and was endlessly running wild.
If he wasn’t stopped here, another tragedy could unfold.
“Family Head, we don’t know what this young master might do!”
“That’s why I stepped forward, isn’t it.”
“…!”
“If that boy killed his younger brother merely because he was possessed by suspicion and dark thoughts…”
Jegal Mun’s gaze toward Jeok-un sank as coldly as the cold snow of the northern sea.
“I will personally make that child pay for that sin with his life.”
“…!!”
Jegal Mun answered without a moment’s hesitation.
If he had committed such insane acts without a single piece of solid evidence, he would make him pay the same punishment.
Just as Lady Hang, Jeok-un’s mother who was watching, let out a single moan and fainted.
“…I will follow your command.”
Jegal Tan stepped back.
Once he stepped back, there was no one else who opposed.
Step by step.
At that moment, Jeok-un slowly moved his steps and opened his mouth.
“The assassin said there was one more thing the client additionally wanted.”
“…!!”
“It was a request to provide more poison for this month’s supply.”
“Po, poison?”
A look of shock appeared on everyone’s faces.
If the assassination failed, was he planning to poison as well?
However, Jeok-un’s following words were somewhat strange.
“But it’s a strange thing. ‘This month’s’ supply, he said. Yet there’s not a trace of poison energy in my body.”
“…!”
“Then that means someone else was slowly poisoned over a long period of time.”
Gasps and sharp intakes of breath could be heard from various places.
Only then did they understand the true meaning of what Jeok-un was saying.
The elders’ eyes trembled violently as if struck by an earthquake.
Over the past few years, there had been one person in the family whose health had been steadily deteriorating.
“Cough…!”
At that moment, someone coughed.
Naturally, everyone’s gaze turned in that direction.
There stood the eldest young master Jegal Jun with a somewhat pale complexion.
Everyone in the family knew that the eldest young master’s condition had worsened recently due to an unknown chronic illness.
‘Before my regression, Jegal Jun hyung-nim was Jegal Wiyeon’s first target.’
It was only much later that I was able to discover the terrible method that Jegal Wiyeon and Lady Oh used to steal the Jegal Sega.
And I regretted it for the rest of my life.
If only I had known their method a little sooner, I could have stopped it.
Doubt, distrust, shock.
Amidst the swirling emotions in the Gajujeon.
Jeok-un was now standing before Jegal Jun.
And he said.
“Will you trust me, hyung-nim?”
“…Jeok-un.”
What exactly was he trying to do?
Given the previous situation, no one would have thought it strange if the eldest young master had fled.
But after briefly meeting Jeok-un’s eyes, the eldest young master.
Nod.
“!!”
“Young master!”
Soon nodded his head.
His eyes held trust in his younger brother.
That’s right. Jegal Jun was one of the few people in the family who believed in Jeok-un.
Just as everyone was pouring out shocked reactions.
“Then excuse me.”
Jeok-un immediately placed his hand on the eldest young master’s dantian and operated the Paecheon-gi.
“W-wait…!”
Jegal Tan tried to intervene belatedly, but it was already too late.
Swoosh!
If he forcibly separated them now, the qi and blood could flow backward and lead to qi deviation.
“Urgh!”
As the Paecheon-gi was operated, the eldest young master’s face turned bright red and he began to let out short, broken moans.
Was the second young master trying to kill the eldest young master too!
It was then that everyone was horrified.
“Hi, hiiik!”
“What…?!”
Everyone in the hall gasped in shock and let out moans.
A miraculous event was occurring that would surprise even the elders with their extensive martial world experience.
When Jeok-un removed his hands from Jegal Jun’s dantian.
Wooong…!
A black, sticky energy like tar was being drawn out and held in those two hands.
Hiss!
Sizzle!
“Urgh!”
“Gasp!”
Sinister poison qi and a terrible smell instantly filled the Gajujeon.
It was hard to believe even while watching.
But whether they believed it or not, reality didn’t change, and what this testified to was clear.
As Jeok-un had said, the eldest young master Jegal Jun was in a serious state of poisoning.
Now that the poison qi had been extracted, Jegal Jun’s complexion had returned to a more normal color than ever before.
“Thank… you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Thud-
After expressing his gratitude, Jegal Jun lost consciousness.
Jeok-un entrusted his brother to the Grand Lady who was beside Jegal Jun, then slowly turned around and raised his hands.
Woom!
The poison qi extracted from the eldest young master’s body earlier was floating on his hands as black droplets.
“Do you know what kind of poison even martial artists who have reached inhuman levels cannot prevent?”
No one could answer.
“It’s time.”
Step by step.
Jeok-un moved his steps again.
Even Jegal Tan no longer stood in his way.
Everyone’s gaze followed Jeok-un’s steps.
“If absorbed in very small amounts over ten years, on the day it’s completed, it becomes an extreme poison that inevitably leads to death.”
“…!”
“That is precisely this Black Bryony.”
“!!”
It was a poison with a name they had never heard before.
But the elders associated with Lady Oh had no time to worry about such things.
If that became true, their lives would be no different from flies.
They gritted their teeth and shouted.
“Family Head! While it’s true that the eldest young master was poisoned, there’s no evidence to confirm that Lady Oh and the third young master committed this act!”
“That’s right, Family Head! You must immediately stop this young master’s tyranny!”
But even as the elders raised their voices and shouted, Jegal Mun himself said nothing.
Because he intuited that it was now Jeok-un’s turn to show that evidence.
Step.
At that moment, Jeok-un finally stopped his steps in front of one person.
“But Black Bryony has a fatal flaw.”
“Huu, uuu. My son. My son…!!”
“If you haven’t learned poison arts, then during the process of administering poison, the user is also inevitably exposed to trace amounts of poison.”
Lady Oh, who was half out of her mind, saw Jeok-un approaching and rushed at him like a madwoman.
“You! How dare you do that to my son!! I’ll kill you!!”
Swoosh!
Jeok-un lightly avoided Lady Oh’s attack, then reached out in reverse and subdued her with a pressure point technique.
“Urgh! Let go! Release me! Husband, look at this bastard…!!”
Blinded by mental shock, she struggled desperately, then belatedly looked at her husband.
But she couldn’t help but be flustered.
‘Why, why are you… looking at me with those eyes…?’
Because Jegal Mun’s gaze toward her was as cold and chilly as ice from the North Sea.
Swish!
While she was engulfed in shock, Jeok-un’s other hand moved like a living venomous snake.
“Mmph!! Mmph!”
When Jeok-un’s hand covered her mouth, she trembled all over and convulsed.
It wasn’t a furious struggle filled with rage to escape from his grasp.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
It was because unbearable pain suddenly flooded through her entire body.
“Why, is it not to your taste?”
There was only one reason.
It was because Jeok-un had just covered her mouth and forced all the Black Lotus poison he had extracted from Jegal Jun into her.
A poison meant to kill slowly over decades, consumed all at once—how could she possibly withstand such toxicity?
Bubble bubble!
Lady Oh’s entire body turned red, and blisters began forming as if she had been burned.
At the same time, pain several times worse than burning agony—the most terrible pain a human could experience—seized control of her entire body.
Though Lady Oh was writhing grotesquely on the floor in convulsions, Jeok-un continued speaking in an utterly calm tone.
“Kkeek! Kkeuk! Kkeureureuk!!”
“Now, to finish what I was saying earlier—users of Black Lotus become poisoned without knowing it, so they always keep an ‘antidote’ on their person.”
Having said that, Jeok-un casually took a step back.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned not to him, but to Lady Oh.
But she had no leisure to care about such things right now.
‘…Anti, dote!!’
She had to take the antidote.
No, she couldn’t take it.
The moment she poured the antidote into her mouth, she would be confessing to the world that she was the culprit.
Lady Oh felt like her head was truly going to explode.
“Kkeuk! Kkeureuk!!”
In an instant, all her blood vessels burst and Lady Oh’s eyes became truly bloodshot, burning with venomous intent.
Yes, let’s live.
I have to survive first before I can get revenge for my child or do anything else.
Finally, she pulled out a small glass bottle from her sleeve.
“Ahh…!”
“Th-that!!”
Gasps erupted from those around her, but Lady Oh paid no heed and opened the cap, swallowing the contents.
Gulp gulp.
“Heok, heuheok. Kkeuk!”
The antidote’s energy quickly spread through her body.
Her reddened skin calmed down, and the blisters that had formed disappeared as if by magic.
Thud.
All the elders associated with Lady Oh collapsed to the floor as strength left their legs.
They were ruined.
Utterly and completely ruined.
Despair filled their expressions.
“Now, the culprit has provided the evidence herself.”
“…!”
Lady Oh turned around with trembling eyes.
Jeok-un was looking at her with a wicked grin.
[Look forward to it. I absolutely won’t let you die easily.]
The voice of the Underworld King echoed in her ears.
Though she had vowed revenge, she couldn’t help but tremble with fear she was experiencing for the first time.
