Evil Hegemon Martial God

Chapter 120

Gwak Dae-mo of the Giant Blade initially cheered inwardly.

It was because he had received the mission from Doyecheon to break through the eastern gate.

Victory was clearly assured and the achievements to be gained were certain.

Among Doyecheon’s leadership, the most martially skilled Jichaldan leader, Ghost Shadow Flying Kill Ham Baek was with him, so there was nothing to fear.

And the person who had to face such Ham Baek was merely Grand Administrator Jeung Yubeom.

Jeung Yubeom was more famous as a Jaegyeongdan leader than for his reputation as a warrior.

In short, Jeung Yubeom was closer to a bureaucrat than a warrior.

So the battle would end easily, and he would just need to pluck the sweet fruits of victory…

He had been grinning with exactly that thought.

‘What the hell is going on here?!’

The battle was flowing completely differently from his expectations.

Swish!

In an instant, there was a dagger sharply piercing toward the vital point on Gwak Dae-mo’s nape.

“Hup-!”

Gwak Dae-mo retreated in shock and barely managed to avoid it.

If he had been even slightly late, he would have given up his nape completely.

Swoosh-!

But the opponent, as if not caring about Gwak Dae-mo’s feelings, continued the follow-up attack without pause.

If he showed even the slightest opening, the twin daggers would fly in without missing that gap.

What had tried to pierce a hole in his neck just moments ago were also these twin daggers.

The enemy holding two unremarkable black daggers that weren’t even divine weapons was none other than…

‘What the hell is that woman?!’

It was Hae-yeon, a member of the Baekya Unit.

In fact, Gwak Dae-mo couldn’t even guess who Hae-yeon was at first.

That was natural since she was just an ordinary warrior of the Baekya Unit whose name wasn’t even known.

‘What the hell did that crazy bastard Jeok-un do to the Baekya Unit?!’

How could it make sense that a mere unit member was continuing a threatening offensive against him, a Daeju of the Ten Heavenly Commanders?

It wasn’t easy to regain his composure due to the bewilderment.

“Get a grip, Gwak Dae-mo!”

“S-sorry!”

Seeing this, Ham Baek raised his voice angrily and pressed Gwak Dae-mo.

A contemptuous look poured out along with it, asking if he couldn’t even subdue a single warrior.

But Gwak Dae-mo had his grievances too.

Swoosh!

The moment Hae-yeon’s surprise attack failed, she immediately retreated without hesitation.

Naturally, when an attack becomes useless, gaps are bound to be exposed.

This was the most dangerous moment.

‘Damn it! She’s like a ghost!’

Hae-yeon’s movement speed was so fast he couldn’t keep up with it at all.

Hae-yeon was making the most of this strength by repeating hit-and-run tactics.

Naturally, the footwork Hae-yeon was using was none other than Ghost Step.

The essence of Ghost Step directly learned from Hwang-no was being manifested through Hae-yeon.

Swoosh!

A friction sound like sand rolling was heard.

Swaaash!

“Kuh!”

Gwak Dae-mo’s great sword passed by Hae-yeon with only a few sheets of paper’s difference.

It was an attack that might have split her head if she had been even slightly late.

But Hae-yeon showed no wavering even after seeing such a strike right before her nose.

‘His movements are large, so he moves exactly as I predicted.’

Gwak Dae-mo was a warrior who mainly used great swords, as could be seen from his nickname ‘Giant Blade’.

Each attack was large and destructive, but at the same time had the disadvantage of correspondingly large movements.

This might not be a major weakness depending on the opponent, but unfortunately it worked as the worst weakness when facing Hae-yeon.

Understanding of force.

Insight into action.

Even the reason to find gaps accordingly.

‘How is that the beginning of Super Peak level?!’

From Gwak Dae-mo’s position having to face Hae-yeon, it was truly maddening.

Gwak Dae-mo’s level was the beginning of Hwagyeong.

His opponent was at most the beginning of Super Peak level.

When the difference in martial arts levels was this much, the modifier ‘overwhelming’ was usually attached.

However, despite such a gap, Gwak Dae-mo struggled and couldn’t easily subdue Hae-yeon.

Speed was the problem.

Even if he was fierce enough to cut down a giant tree in one stroke, he had to hit something first to achieve his purpose, right?

No matter how fiercely he swung, it didn’t reach.

Everything was just useless.

“Argh!! Stop darting around and attack properly like a warrior!!”

Gwak Dae-mo screamed frantically.

His patience had been exposed to the bottom.

“Why should I?”

“!?!?”

Hae-yeon grasped such psychology of Gwak Dae-mo and thoroughly toyed with him.

Swoosh!

Moving solely to evade.

Stab!

The moment he showed a weakness, she thrust in the twin daggers.

Whether the attack worked or not.

Hit and run remained unchanged.

‘Damn it, damn it…!!’

Gwak Dae-mo felt like he had become meat in a butcher shop.

The feeling of being dismantled and carved up piece by piece?

‘It’s not like I’m fighting an assassin…!!’

Gwak Dae-mo stumbled backward like a cow and reached the truth like catching a mouse.

But he would never be able to know that forever.

That the adversary he was facing now wasn’t some ordinary warrior of Sadocheon.

But the one and only disciple of the world’s greatest assassin, Shadowless Killer.

Hae-yeon gained confidence that she could defeat Gwak Dae-mo.

‘Good, if I spend just a little more time, I can definitely subdue him!’

Then strength naturally entered her hands gripping the twin daggers.

The twin daggers were weapons she had newly taken up after abandoning the sword while receiving martial arts instruction from Hwang-no.

-Even if there’s a gap in martial prowess, an assassin can inflict fatal wounds by targeting just one opening.

Hae-yeon recalled Hwang-no’s teachings and controlled her pace.

Then Gwak Dae-mo naturally became urgent.

It was because of his thought that he had to quickly subdue Hae-yeon and assist Ham Baek.

And.

An impatient mind always causes mistakes.

“Die-!”

‘Now!’

A gleam appeared in Hae-yeon’s eyes.

His movements had become too large, revealing an opening.

Hae-yeon didn’t miss that moment and charged forward, gripping her twin daggers with force.

‘If I can cut him down here…!’

And the next moment.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing against metal and.

Riiip!

The cutting sound of fabric tearing rang out simultaneously.

“Cough!”

A coughing sound was heard and the fishy scent of blood suddenly bloomed.

Someone spat a handful of blood onto the ground.

But unfortunately.

“Kugh! This damn bitch!”

Gwak Dae-mo had barely managed to block Hae-yeon’s sword in the critical moment and retreated backward.

“Grand Commander!”

Hae-yeon looked to the side and screamed with a pale face.

At the end of that gaze.

Jeung Yubeom, who had allowed Ham Baek’s strike, was collapsing while coughing up blood.

* * *

The joy and sorrow of both sides were clearly different.

The warriors of the Bucheonju camp were cheering while the Cheonju camp was gloomy.

Hae-yeon had put up an unexpectedly good fight against Gwak Dae-mo, the former Ten Heavenly Lord known as the Giant Executioner.

Grand Commander Jeung Yubeom had also not been pushed back by Ham Baek, seeming to maintain an equal situation.

But all of that had turned to bubbles in an instant.

“It’s surprising that you had a hidden move. But did the Grand Commander really think he could beat me?”

“Kugh!”

Ham Baek asked mockingly while simultaneously trampling on Jeung Yubeom’s chest with his foot.

Since it was the wound that had been split by Ham Baek’s sword moments ago, blood spurted from his chest and his front began to turn red.

A clearly severe injury by anyone’s standards.

Jeung Yubeom should be considered effectively out of combat.

Though he had put up a considerable fight against Ham Baek, he had reached his limit.

In fact, it was a predetermined result.

Ham Baek was a battle-hardened veteran who had experienced all kinds of battlefields in the past.

The number of life-or-death battles he had fought and the depth of martial arts he had accumulated and refined were incomparable to Jeung Yubeom’s.

And Ham Baek knew exactly how to drop the enemy’s morale to rock bottom even at this moment.

“Truly regrettable.”

Ham Baek announced Jeung Yubeom’s end with a cold smile.

“I have no choice but to cut off your head and show what the end of the rebel party will be.”

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ham Baek brought down his sword.

Like an executioner, he was about to cut off Jeung Yubeom’s head.

‘No!’

Hae-yeon saw this and tried to leap forward urgently, but.

“Hmph! Where do you think you’re going-!”

She was blocked by Gwak Dae-mo’s interference.

Even if Gwak Dae-mo couldn’t catch Hae-yeon, he could certainly trip her up on her way.

Just when it seemed everything was over.

Rumble!

Crash!

A sudden explosive sound rang out.

“?!”

Ham Baek was also startled and retreated backward.

It was because of a streak of sword wind that flew toward his neck.

Such powerful force that his head could have fallen off if he had been careless!

Slash!

The surprise attack was so sharp that a red line was drawn across Ham Baek’s nape.

Though small, it had managed to leave a wound.

‘What bastard…!’

A drop of blood trickled down, but Ham Baek didn’t even think to wipe it.

What mattered now was the identity of the attacker.

Ham Baek turned his eyes toward where the sword wind had come from.

“You bastard…!”

“That’s enough.”

Fierce anger rose in Ham Baek’s eyes.

Whoosh.

The man who immediately stood at the center of the battlefield was emitting streams of pitch-black sword energy from the sword in one hand.

The warriors from both sides watching the situation couldn’t hide their bewilderment at the appearance of a completely unexpected figure.

The man was a warrior who had been called the future of Sadocheon until the appearance of the Black Heaven Light Dragon.

“Put down your sword and step back.”

It was Gwieok-ho (Demon Tiger), Ham Mu-hyul.

“What? What’s happening…?”

“Ch-Cheonho-dae Lord?”

“L-Lord, why are you?”

It was understandable that the warriors of the Bucheonju camp would react this way.

As Ham Mu-hyul had said, Ham Baek was his biological father.

Yet putting aside the blood ties that bound them, Ham Mu-hyul was now pointing his sword tip at his own father.

But their surprise didn’t end there.

Thud!

Thump…!

“…Guh, guk.”

The giant Jang-han suddenly collapsed as if struck by lightning and electrocuted to death.

Roll roll.

Gwak Dae-mo’s severed head, which no one had seen coming, rolled on the ground.

“Ah, ahhh!”

“T-Taesandae Lord!”

The sword wind that Ham Mu-hyul had unleashed moments ago wasn’t just one streak.

It had also headed toward Gwak Dae-mo who was blocking Hae-yeon.

Gwak Dae-mo had offered his neck without even properly recognizing it.

Ham Mu-hyul had cut down the Giant Executioner with one sword.

Moreover, betrayal and anger glittered in Ham Baek’s eyes as he looked at his son who had even sent a killing strike toward him.

“Do you dare to stand in your father’s way?”

“No.”

Shing!

But conversely, there was no anger in Ham Mu-hyul’s eyes.

“I did not stand in my father’s way.”

With each word that followed.

Ham Mu-hyul’s gaze gradually hardened and solidified.

“I stood in the way of a traitor to Sadocheon who must be rightfully executed.”

There was only resolute will.
