Evil Hegemon Martial God
Chapter 115
There are countless weapons in Gangho.
From mainstream weapons like swords and spears to unconventional weapons like whips and axes.
Even brushes are sometimes used as weapons, truly fitting the term ‘ten thousand weapons.’
However, among all known weapons, there is one that is particularly shunned in the martial world of Gangho.
That would be the bow, namely archery.
In fact, archery has many advantages.
First, you can attack unilaterally while maintaining distance.
And a single arrow can take a life.
However, among the hundred greatest masters of Gangho, only one is famous for archery.
And even that one is not from the Central Plains, but the Bow Master of Jangbaek Seonmun, an outside force.
While there’s no disagreement that the bow is a good and powerful weapon, there are various reasons why it’s not welcomed.
The biggest reason among them is, of course,
that it’s incomparably treacherous and difficult in terms of martial arts training and mastery.
With any object, the farther it gets from your hand, the harder it becomes to control and regulate your energy.
You must condense the energy contained in an arrow that has left the bowstring to the extreme to deliver a useful attack, and this is an incredibly difficult task.
Therefore, the types of warriors who use bows in Gangho are very limited.
For example, military archers who go to war, or
‘These rat bastard sorcerers.’
The sorcerers Jeok-un is currently facing are also one of those categories.
Whiiing!
Jeok-un caught sight of the incoming arrow.
He could see bundles of talismans tied to the fletching.
However, these weren’t simple talismans.
They were the essence and core of curses that the sorcerers of the Six Souls Sect had packed tightly with blood and vengeful spirits.
Each and every arrow contained a curse.
If even slightly grazed, one would suffer terrible curses.
Wooong! Woong!
Il-cheon and Wol-ha resonated and let out cries.
‘Yes, go wild to your heart’s content.’
Swaaash!
Slash! Slaaash!
Jeok-un began fiercely swinging his twin swords, cutting down all the incoming arrows.
“Pathetic and pathetic!”
“You sword-wielding monkey! Now die!!”
“Die!”
The sorcerers who had shot the curse arrows mocked him greatly upon seeing this.
Because he had fallen into their trap himself.
The moment the arrows were cut down.
Krrrrrr!
Pop pop pong!
The talismans attached to the arrowheads each emitted sinister light and burned up.
The Five Elements and Yin-Yang twisted as natural laws became distorted.
Dark red flames engulfed the intruder’s entire body.
Poisonous fire containing tremendous toxicity traveled along the blade, aiming for the enemy’s throat.
All sorts of bizarre and terrible sorceries targeting Jeok-un’s life activated simultaneously as the arrows shattered.
Thus, an excellent sorcerer is not inferior at all compared to a warrior of the same level.
Moreover, the Six Souls Sect is a place where madmen gather who don’t hesitate to sacrifice people as offerings to create vicious sorceries.
That impudent intruder would pay a great price.
Kurrrrrrr!
Hissss!
A massive dust cloud covered the devastated land.
It was the result of the curse arrows sweeping through like artillery.
“Is it over?”
Seeing the devastation where no trace of living energy could be felt, one sorcerer muttered quietly.
Flash!
At that moment, a streak of light flickered.
Swoosh!
“Kh, ghrk?”
“Over, my ass.”
The sorcerer who had spoken carelessly collapsed, clutching his throat and frothing blood.
“Now it’s just beginning.”
“…!”
Jeok-un grinned as if extremely pleased.
The surrounding sorcerers widened their eyes with expressions of disbelief.
The intruder didn’t have a single small scratch on his entire body.
“Im, impossible…!”
Just as someone was about to shout ‘That’s impossible!’
Swoosh!
Jeok-un had already stepped forward and reached where the sorcerers were.
It had happened in just one step.
“Sh, shoot again!!”
“Pour out the sorcery!!”
Desperately ignoring the ominous feeling they felt for the first time, the sorcerers of the Six Souls Sect began drawing their bowstrings again.
The warriors guarding the sorcerers also immediately rushed at Jeok-un.
Swoosh!
Jeok-un’s steps diving into the battlefield were like a single storm.
‘This reminds me of fighting the Demonic Cult.’
A formation mixing sorcerers and warriors.
Before his regression, most of the Demonic Cult’s combat methods were like this.
‘But they’re pathetically inferior.’
There was no proper coordination, and the sorcerers were just trying to pour out the most powerful sorcery they possessed.
A pathetic display that would be embarrassing to compare to the Demonic Cult.
Now, it was time to personally give them a lesson.
Jeok-un taught them the fatal weakness shared by archers and sorcerers.
“So what are you going to do when I break through everything?”
“Huh, huk!”
Namely, the moment you allow the enemy to approach, it’s already over.
Swaaash!
Slash!
A head falls with one cut.
Boom!
Bodies burst from the aftermath and residual force.
Jeok-un began rampaging and slaughtering enemies like a wolf that had entered a flock of sheep.
“Haha! This is perfect for a light warm-up!”
Aaaaah!
Kraaak!
While screams filled with pain echoed like songs,
Jeok-un’s gaze was fixed on one place.
That place was the pavilion standing tall like a tower at the center of Daejanwon.
It was precisely where the aura of the Six Souls Sect Master could be felt.
* * *
“…One person? You’re saying only one person broke in?”
When Jibugwimo asked back with a bewildered expression, Suha answered while sweating profusely.
“Yes, yes. There were two men fighting the corpses, but only one invaded the manor. His companion seems to have died.”
As could be seen from the sweat flowing like rain, Suha was terribly bewildered by both the current situation and having to report it.
No, everyone in the Six Souls Sect felt the same emotion.
The Six Souls Sect had never allowed an intruder even once since its founding.
Countless external forces bearing grudges had sought out the Six Souls Sect, but none had managed to find the current rift that the Six Souls Sect used as their hideout.
Even if they found it, they thought there would be no problem.
Because there was an army of corpses whose reason had been eroded by the great law.
With corpses in the rift numbering as many as two hundred thousand used as watchdogs, who could dare invade them?
Because such perfect defenses had been in place for so long, paradoxically, the Six Souls Sect’s security system had become extremely lax.
“You think he’s probably dead? Are you calling that a proper report?!”
“I’m, I’m sorry! Sect Master!”
Jibugwimo raised her voice angrily.
Those worthless bastards!
It was already maddening that an intruder had entered the manor, but they couldn’t even properly confirm what was happening inside the manor.
‘Damn it! What the hell is going on!’
Something was seriously twisted.
Jibugwimo’s head was splitting with pain as she pressed her temples.
Wait…!
Suddenly remembering something she had forgotten, she urgently shouted.
“What’s happening with the altar?!”
“The, the altar is under even more thorough guard! The Ritual of Malevolent Death will absolutely not be interrupted, so you don’t need to worry about that at least!”
At the confident answer, Jibugwimo let out a sigh of relief.
The altar prepared in the basement of the pavilion was the base for sending death energy to Dokgo Cheon.
The Ritual of Malevolent Death was still in progress.
That was natural.
The completion of the ritual would mean that Dokgo Cheon had died from the calamity.
Therefore, the altar had to be protected at all costs.
‘If by any chance the intruder bursts in there, it would ruin the great work.’
It had to be stopped at all costs.
As Jibugwimo was organizing her thoughts, Suha carefully reported in a gentle voice.
“Though unexpected chaos has occurred, you don’t need to worry too much, Sect Master. To quickly suppress the situation, Bubangju has gone down personally, so he’ll return soon with good news.”
“Tch, obviously.”
Jibugwimo’s expression brightened a little at the fact that Bubangju had moved personally.
Seeing this, Suha inwardly sighed with relief and deliberately raised his voice.
“Why aren’t you delivering the additional news that came in!”
“Yes, yes! I’ll, I’ll tell you right away!”
A minion who suddenly became the new target hastily began to speak.
“The, the intruder uses both ice energy and heat energy simultaneously! And the weapons he uses are tw, twin swords…!”
“He uses opposing energies simultaneously? Are you certain?!”
Opposing energies and twin swords…?
In an instant, Jibugwimo’s eyes widened as if they would burst.
Those characteristics reminded her of the culprit who had recently ruined everything in Doyecheon.
‘But, but that’s impossible.’
Doyecheon had said that bastard was definitely at Sadocheon Headquarters.
Unless he could use clone techniques like the legendary Jecheon Daeseong, it would be impossible.
But why was it.
-It would be better to focus on the original purpose of Cheonju. The more you get entangled with that boy, the greater the misfortune will grow in your path, and fortune will be driven away.
-In the end, you’ll be swallowed by calamity.
That the advice she had given to Doyecheon kept coming to mind.
Thump thump! Thump!
The sound of her madly beating heart felt so ominous.
‘…Could it be that it wasn’t just Doyecheon who shouldn’t have gotten entangled with that bastard…!’
Was she the same?
The Sapa butcher who was called by ridiculous nicknames like Jegal Paeryong or Pa-hwan Gwang-rang but was now praised for recent achievements.
Black Heaven Mad Dragon.
Just as Jibugwimo recalled Jeok-un’s title.
Crumble!
Crash!
“Ahhh!”
“Gah!”
“!!”
With vibrations and explosive sounds, one side of the inner chamber’s floor began to collapse.
At the sudden collapse, several of the subordinates standing in one corner fell before they could properly react.
“Ugh… Gah!”
Painful groans, followed by terrible death throes.
After the eerie sound of flesh being torn rang out.
Swoosh!
A man leaped up and set foot in the inner chamber.
“!!”
Jibugwimo’s eyes widened as if they would tear.
Meanwhile, the intruder smiled broadly as if he had expected this.
With a sword in his right hand.
“Hey, nice to see you, old hag.”
Holding Bubangju’s head in his left hand.
