Evil Hegemon Martial God

Chapter 105

‘He can shatter a sword ring?’

Could he possibly be dreaming right now?

Ho Baek-seon couldn’t help but think so.

Unlike his previous arrogant demeanor, Ho Baek-seon stared at Baek-eun Byeong-ma before him, completely stiff with tension.

His arrogance had already vanished without a trace.

The act of shattering a sword ring that Baek-eun Byeong-ma had demonstrated was something Ho Baek-seon had never heard of in his entire life.

‘No, is such a thing even possible in the first place?’

Looking broadly at the history of Gangho, the only thing that could counter a strong ring was another strong ring of the same level.

This was common sense and law in Gangho.

Yet Baek-eun Byeong-ma had broken that common sense and crushed the strong ring with the force of his hands.

Was it the power of a supernatural entity?

Ho Baek-seon checked Baek-eun Byeong-ma’s two hands.

No. They were bare hands.

If he had been wearing even translucent gloves, he would have thought that supernatural entity was remarkable enough to shatter sword rings.

‘Then how on earth did he…?’

Just as his head began to ache as if it would split.

-Don’t rejoice. Your sword ring is nothing but a half-baked thing.

The words left by his master, Geom-ma, came to mind.

Geom-ma had evaluated his sword ring in this way.

He had joyfully demonstrated it after breaking through the maturity of Hyeon-gyeong and the wall of extreme mastery.

However, as soon as Geom-ma saw his sword ring, he harshly criticized it as half-baked.

‘I thought it was nonsense spouted out of jealousy.’

Ho Baek-seon had never had any respect for his master to begin with.

He thought his master was jealous and trying to belittle him for achieving sword rings and reaching extreme mastery faster than Geom-ma of the same age.

If that wasn’t the case, there would be no reason at all to disparage his clearly evident sword ring as half-baked.

But now that this had happened, Geom-ma’s words seemed to carry some meaning.

He must have foreseen this kind of situation.

‘Damn it…’

Ho Baek-seon bit his blood-stained lips and glared at Baek-eun Byeong-ma.

Snicker.

His opponent noticed this and openly sneered.

“Why are you looking at me like a dog with its tail between its legs?”

“…!”

“Has your courage shrunk to the size of a bean?”

“…Shut up!!”

Ho Baek-seon flared up and shouted.

He must surely be raising vipers on his tongue.

Otherwise, there was no way every single word he spoke could turn his insides upside down like this.

‘I’ll definitely kill him!’

Murderous intent boiled up within Ho Baek-seon.

He wanted to tear that man’s limbs apart and drink his blood right now.

But what happened just before, when his sword ring shattered in that man’s grasp, weighed on his mind.

‘No, there’s nothing to worry about.’

However, his troubled feelings lasted only briefly, as Ho Baek-seon completely shook off his reluctant thoughts.

It was thanks to finding his own answer.

‘Right, if it’s not enough, I just need to pour out more.’

He shattered one sword ring?

Then he would unleash two, no, three of them.

If he utilized the Blood Absorption Brain Technique to its maximum, it was entirely possible.

‘No, just in case, I’ll go even beyond that.’

Ho Baek-seon thought this as he drew his blood absorption brain energy to the very limit of limits.

Kwaaaaaa!

He felt torrents beyond the safe range surging within his body.

His flesh reacted miserably to the forced torrent created by squeezing his major and minor meridians.

His body was already thoroughly battered from the aftermath of earlier, and his energy and blood were in tatters.

Perhaps because he had forcibly exceeded his limits this time, his entire body seemed to be screaming.

‘It’s, fine. I just need to quickly kill that bastard and return to Beondan to recuperate…!’

Swoooooosh!

Demonic energy surged explosively and began to rampage wildly.

The person who became the central axis was Ho Baek-seon.

The energy that swirled around Ho Baek-seon began to cover the surrounding debris one by one.

Rumble rumble rumble…!

The debris began to stir as if possessed by ghosts.

Just as several small pieces of debris began to float up.

Swoosh!

Ho Baek-seon stepped forward with true footwork and charged at Jeok-un.

Before long, the first sword ring began to form in a circle around Ho Baek-seon’s sword.

‘If shattering the sword ring wasn’t accomplished through supernatural power, then it must be the strength of that bastard’s fist technique.’

So he would push forward with numbers.

There were only two hands attached to his limbs.

If he pushed forward with quantity, he would surely be able to win.

Swoooosh!

Soon, a second sword ring formed around Ho Baek-seon’s sword, and it growing to three was a matter of moments.

The majesty of Ho Baek-seon charging forward with three sword rings was tremendous.

This was not mere mathematical expression or description.

Energy waves swirled around Ho Baek-seon, and sword rings followed along.

Between Ho Baek-seon and Baek-eun Byeong-ma was full of debris and trash, but it soon became as if it had never existed.

Everything was smashed or split upon contact with the sword rings.

“Good grief.”

Of course, Baek-eun Byeong-ma—no, Jeok-un—who was watching this couldn’t hide his expression of disbelief.

But if an enemy makes a stupid choice, the eternal truth is to applaud rather than dissuade them.

“That guy really has simple thinking.”

Jeok-un left a brief comment and faced him head-on.

‘Crazy bastard!’

Ho Baek-seon thought to himself.

These were sword rings containing even more internal energy than before.

‘Shattering them won’t be so easy…!’

The moment Ho Baek-seon thought this, Jeok-un caught the flying sword rings.

One with his left hand, one with his right hand.

Having caught two sword rings in an instant, Jeok-un.

“Hup!”

With a light shout, he shattered the sword rings.

‘Perfect!’

But this was exactly what Ho Baek-seon had already anticipated.

And it was also what he had intended.

If there was a special fist technique for shattering sword rings, then that bastard would be unable to avoid the third sword ring!

‘I’ll tear you to shreds!’

The final sword ring was aimed squarely at Jeok-un’s head.

Since his hands were tied up destroying the previous two sword rings.

Now that man would be helpless and meet his death.

The moment Ho Baek-seon thought this and was optimistic about victory.

“People have feet as well as hands.”

Jeok-un said this as he spun his body around.

Using one leg as an axis, he kicked his leg up.

At its end was the third sword ring.

“…!”

Contrary to Ho Baek-seon’s expectations, the sword ring shattered into pieces like cheap pottery.

Ho Baek-seon’s chances of victory also completely disappeared.

Kugrgrgrg…!

But before considering chances of victory, there was something more urgent.

The massive aftershock pouring toward Ho Baek-seon.

Not just one, but as many as three sword rings had been destroyed.

Moreover, his physical condition was worse than before.

He had squeezed his major and minor meridians to forcibly extract internal energy equivalent to the ninth level.

Now it was time to pay the price for that.

“Kyaaaak!”

Ho Baek-seon screamed and collapsed.

His major meridians were torn and his minor meridians were severed or crushed.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say his future as a warrior was completely cut off.

No, the key question was whether he could survive as a person before being a warrior.

“Ugh. Ughhh.”

Ho Baek-seon groaned shallowly.

His physical condition was so battered he couldn’t even let out a scream.

He couldn’t move a single finger or toe at will, though they occasionally twitched like a bug.

This wasn’t Ho Baek-seon’s intention.

It was a side effect from his muscles spasming.

“Truly like a bug.”

“…!”

Jeok-un said as he approached the fallen Ho Baek-seon.

Ho Baek-seon made a humiliated expression, but right now he truly was like a bug.

A bug whose wings and legs had all been torn off by a child, leaving only the body.

“Oh my.”

Jeok-un searched through Ho Baek-seon’s belongings, then clicked his tongue and stood up.

“It seems there’s no Communication Pill. How disappointing.”

“…!”

Ho Baek-seon’s eyes widened.

How could he possibly know about the Communication Pill?

Only high-ranking officials within the sect who could operate externally knew about that!

But what Ho Baek-seon should have been truly surprised about was something else.

“Your death should also reach that Cheonma bastard.”

“You, you…bastard…?!”

By this point it wasn’t shock but fear and something similar.

Content that should be absolutely unknowable was coming from his opponent’s mouth like neighborhood gossip.

“How do you know my master’s name-.”

How do you know the name Cheonma?

Before Ho Baek-seon could ask that.

Crack! Bang!

Jeok-un’s kick came first.

A crushing sound was heard along with the explosion.

Thud…!

Soon Ho Baek-seon’s headless corpse slumped down.

Jeok-un hadn’t even given him time to resolve his questions.

“Figure that out by yourself when you go to hell.”

Jeok-un said coldly.

* * *

“Ah, aah.”

Oh Chu-baek’s expression was hollow.

There wasn’t even anger to speak of.

The current situation was so overwhelming that it felt completely unreal.

Since he couldn’t accept reality, there was no anger to speak of.

It was natural. Hadn’t Geumhwang Sangga, which he had built over his entire lifetime, become complete ruins?

Baek Eun-bingma and Ho Baek-seon.

The battlefield of these two was the entire main estate of Geumhwang Sangga.

The fight between two masters who had reached Hyeon-gyeong was not satisfied with just toppling all the splendid pavilions but turned them into complete ruins.

Would it be like this if designated as a rebellious territory and scorched to the ground?

If not that, how could my estate become like this?

‘This, this… how… could such a thing….’

Oh Chu-baek recalled with a devastated face.

Where exactly did it start going wrong, and how?

He who had held all the wealth of the Central Plains in his hands, his family that had enjoyed a brilliant future.

How could they become so miserable?

“I told you.”

“!!”

Then, a voice was heard from behind.

When he turned his head at the demon-like voice, Baek Eun-bingma was standing there.

“That I would definitely come to kill you.”

Baek Eun-bingma said with a sneer.

Blatant mockery.

In Gangho, the weak had no choice but to endure the mockery of masters, but.

“Uaaaah!”

Oh Chu-baek screamed as if having a seizure.

To an old man who had already lost everything, life wasn’t that precious.

“Why!! Why to me!!!”

“Why, you ask. You still don’t know?”

Baek Eun-bingma, no, Jeok-un brushed his face.

The cicada wing-like mask caught on his fingertips.

He had removed the Thousand Faces Paper.

Swish!

Soon with a strange sound, Baek Eun-bingma’s face was replaced by his true appearance.

“You, you you are!! You are!!!”

Oh Chu-baek was so shocked his words were cut off.

In such a shocking situation, his tongue twisted on its own.

He foamed at the mouth and trembled while raving, but.

Reality didn’t change.

The mortal enemy he had sworn revenge against even in his dreams and.

Baek Eun-bingma Nam-ga-il who had destroyed everything of his family.

‘Are the same person?!’

How could this be reality?

Even strange tales or bizarre legends would be ridiculed as absurd if written this way.

But that had become reality.

Bearing the face of Jeok-un, that detestable enemy who deserved to be chewed up and spat out.

“Nice to see you, old man.”

“Uaaahhh!! You vermin of Jegal!!”

Oh Chu-baek finally grasped the entire truth.

He charged forward with great momentum to snap Jeok-un’s neck.

But when Jeok-un swiftly dodged, Oh Chu-baek fell forward disgracefully.

“So when your daughter tried to kill an innocent person, you should have apologized a hundred times and lived prostrate as if dead.”

“Shut up!! I should have killed you long ago! If I had killed both Jegal Mun and you earlier, this disaster wouldn’t have happened!”

“Oh?”

Oh Chu-baek showed no sign of remorse whatsoever.

“Do you think your lowly and filthy bloodline is worthy of comparison to me, my daughter, and grandson? Such a thing…!”

Swish!

Jeok-un gathered his energy and drew poison qi into both hands.

His fingernails turned black, and terrifying deadly poison began to coalesce, chilling to behold.

“Hi, hiiik!”

Even Oh Chu-baek, who knew no martial arts, could feel it.

The poison qi was so strong that even Oh Chu-baek, who had been raging like a madman, fell silent.

Jeok-un slowly approached Oh Chu-baek and spoke.

“Now, what killed your daughter was a poison called Black Flame.”

Jeok-un raised his left hand.

It was pitch black like tar, disgusting just to look at.

“And this is a new poison I obtained from that ruffian from the Tang Family.”

This time Jeok-un extended his right hand.

Green and black mixed together, obviously dangerous even to an earthworm.

“Recently, when I combined these, a new reaction occurred.”

“…!”

“The entire body becomes saturated with poison qi and covered in blisters. Without an antidote, one becomes unrecognizable.”

Oh Chu-baek trembled all over.

Even a three-year-old child could see what Jeok-un would do next.

“Unable to speak or move. Unable even to take one’s own life, living like a worm in terrible agony.”

“Uh. Uuh. Uaaahhh!!!”

“How about it?”

“Kup! Kkeok!”

Oh Chu-baek screamed.

Before he knew it, the fingernails of both hands had slightly pierced into Oh Chu-baek’s wrinkled nape.

Red blood trickled out briefly, but soon began turning black or dark green.

“Kkeheok…!”

Soon Oh Chu-baek’s mad ravings also began to slowly subside.

The poison’s effects had begun to take hold.

Jeok-un watched the blisters form and disfigure his appearance, then delivered his final words.

“Quite a fitting end for you, isn’t it?”

Jeok-un’s smile cast in the moonlight was utterly ruthless.
