Evil Hegemon Martial God

 

Chapter 61

 

Though Bangsam was a low mountain that seemed to embrace everything generously, serene and possessing the beauty of empty space.

 

Clang!

 

Thud!

 

Now it had become a mountain of death, covered with the sounds of clashing blades and the scent of blood.

 

“They’re Sadocheon’s dogs! Kill them all!”

 

“Damn it! Block them all!”

 

It was quite natural, as the Martial Arts Alliance’s Tongseong County branch and the Golden Emperor Trading Company’s blade, Jin-seong, clashed with full force.

 

Due to Jang Bo-heom’s sudden ambush, the Martial Arts Alliance warriors mistook the Golden Emperor Trading Company warriors for Sadocheon forces trying to protect Jeok-un.

 

Jeok-un’s feelings as he watched the chaotic battle that began this way were…

 

‘Hmm, beautiful.’

 

He was deeply satisfied.

 

Because his plan was falling into place perfectly without even an inch of error.

 

Would this be how a master painter feels upon completing a masterpiece?

 

Whether it was the ambushed Martial Arts Alliance.

 

Or Jin-seong caught in the counterattack.

 

In a chaotic battle where two massive combat units were mixed together haphazardly, clarifying the facts and finding the real culprit to reveal the misunderstanding was…

 

‘An impossible task.’

 

While creating trouble is difficult, once trouble breaks out, it grows like an avalanche.

 

In the current bloody battle where they kill and are killed, washing blood with blood, who would realize the truth that all of this was Jeok-un’s doing?

 

Moreover, the one who should first question the current situation and grasp the truth.

 

“Kill them! Kill them all!”

 

Starting with Dang Meng, the branch leader, who was raging like that, it was even more impossible.

 

Having lost one eye and arm, Dang Meng had lost his reason to anger and was raging madly.

 

Watching that sight, Jeok-un twisted the corners of his mouth.

 

‘Martial Arts Alliance, Golden Emperor Trading Company. Seeing these disgusting bastards getting screwed simultaneously is truly refreshing.’

 

It was truly a perfect plan of borrowed blade killing.

 

In truth, neither the Martial Arts Alliance nor the Golden Emperor Trading Company was scary.

 

But dealing with them one by one would be annoying and troublesome, so he came up with this strategy to make them fight each other.

 

‘The moment I turned Dang Meng into half a cripple, this became a foolproof plan.’

 

If the Tongseong County branch leader had tried to maintain composure and stay calm like Jin-seong Daeju, it would have been a plan that crumbled futilely.

 

But Dang Meng wasn’t that type of person, so Jeok-un’s strategy succeeded magnificently.

 

Jeok-un grinned wickedly as he looked at Jin-seong Daeju, whose panic was clearly evident.

 

‘This way, the Golden Emperor Trading Company’s position will become difficult later too.’

 

As could be seen from the Golden Emperor Trading Company’s connection with the Jegal Clan, they had built close relations with the Martial Arts Alliance.

 

If such a Golden Emperor Trading Company fought against the Martial Arts Alliance, this was no small matter.

 

When the battle ended, an investigation team would be dispatched from the Martial Arts Alliance to understand the situation, and they would inevitably reveal that the Martial Arts Alliance and Jin-seong had killed each other.

 

Then the Golden Emperor Trading Company would inevitably fall into a very difficult position.

 

‘Of course, this alone won’t completely separate them from the Martial Arts Alliance, but…’

 

Even if the relationship between the Martial Arts Alliance and Golden Emperor Trading Company just became strained unlike before, it could be considered no small gain.

 

Because that strained relationship would determine the Golden Emperor Trading Company’s fate.

 

If it were like usual, the moment the Golden Emperor Trading Company was invaded, the Martial Arts Alliance would intervene immediately.

 

But after the relationship became strained, even if the Martial Arts Alliance intervened, they would hesitate for a moment.

 

‘That moment is enough.’

 

In that instant, he could erase the Golden Emperor Trading Company from this Central Plains land.

 

So wait just a little, Jin-jun.

 

Jeok-un thought of the disgustingly aged old monster of the Golden Emperor Trading Company.

 

The crime of conspiring with Doyecheon to try to kill him.

 

What it means to point a blade at me.

 

I’ll make you regret it until you die, no, even after death.

 

“Well then, shall I go add the finishing touch to the masterpiece?”

 

Jeok-un muttered like that and stepped forward with true steps.

 

Whoosh!

 

Jeok-un’s destination as he leaped up in an instant was the center of the battlefield.

 

Jeok-un rushed into the very center of the chaotic battle.

 

* * *

 

“Aaaahhh!”

 

A Sadocheon warrior, or actually a Jin-seong warrior, let out death throes as he died.

 

Thud!

 

But Dang Meng, who didn’t know this, smiled grimly and roughly pulled out his twin daggers.

 

Dang Meng, who stepped on the corpse that collapsed like a puppet with cut strings.

 

“Never retreat! Anyone who steps back will die by my hand first!”

 

Dang Meng’s roar echoed loudly around.

 

While making his subordinates advance, Dang Meng chased after Jeok-un who was escaping like a loach.

 

It was then, as he continuously scattered hidden weapons and used poison techniques until the poison energy in his body ran dry.

 

[Wait! Just wait!]

 

Someone of unknown identity spoke to Dang Meng through voice transmission.

 

Naturally, Dang Meng ignored the voice transmission and continued his attack.

 

[Poison Flame Yama! Please stop for just a moment!]

 

But another desperate voice transmission was delivered.

 

Clang!

 

Then, someone blocked Poison Flame Yama’s path.

 

As could be seen from how he easily received Poison Flame Yama’s killing move, the warrior’s identity was Jin-seong Daeju.

 

“Shut up!”

 

Clang!!

 

But Dang Meng, as if he had no intention of listening, roughly swung one of his daggers.

 

Having lost one arm to Jeok-un, he could only swing one of his twin daggers.

 

But the momentum was by no means negligible.

 

Whoosh!

 

[Branch leader! We are not your enemy!]

 

But Jin-seong Daeju didn’t give up.

 

While facing Dang Meng without taking a single offensive move, he continuously tried to talk.

 

“What nonsense is this Sapa vermin spouting!”

 

[Please listen to me! You’ve been deceived by that bastard Jeok-un!]

 

“Hmph, nonsense!”

 

When Dang Meng snorted, Jin-seong Daeju felt like his insides would burst.

 

But Dang Meng held the key to resolving the current situation.

 

Somehow calming his insides, he mentioned their common enemy again to persuade Dang Meng.

 

[Please believe me! Our enemy is the same! We also came to kill that bastard Jeok-un!!]

 

“What…?”

 

Isn’t there no tree that won’t fall after being struck ten times?

 

At Jin-seong Daeju’s repeated persuasion, Dang Meng questioned for the first time.

 

‘…Not Sadocheon’s dogs?’

 

When Dang Meng showed a rational reaction to his words for the first time, Jin-seong Daeju sighed in relief and opened his mouth.

 

[This is a scheme to make us fight each other! Our unit is not affiliated with Sadocheon but with Golden Emperor…!]

 

“-Cough!”

 

“!!”

 

However.

 

Before Jin-seong Daeju could finish speaking, he suddenly let out a pained groan.

 

Behind Jin-seong Daeju, Jeok-un suddenly rose up like a ghost.

 

“Hey now, where do you think you’re going?”

 

“You bastard…!”

 

It was Jeok-un, whom he had been searching for even during the chaotic battle.

 

Without anyone noticing, he had approached and extended one hand toward Jin-seong Daeju’s back.

 

He had infiltrated his internal energy.

 

When Tang Meng couldn’t hide his confusion.

 

“Keurk, keureuk…!”

 

Jin-seong Daeju began foaming dark red blood.

 

The reaction Jin-seong Daeju was showing was a typical poisoning response.

 

That, that poison was definitely-.

 

“Tang Meng, I shared some of the poison you contributed. How is it?”

 

“…?!”

 

It was the poison from the Poison Blood Flow technique that he himself had used on Jeok-un.

 

“Keueu…!”

 

Jin-seong Daeju began vomiting blood from his seven orifices.

 

That’s right. Jeok-un had not cleared the poison from the Poison Blood Flow technique that had infiltrated through his earlobe in the previous battle, and had just injected it into Jin-seong Daeju’s body.

 

Naturally, Jin-seong Daeju didn’t have the ability to detoxify or manage poison like Jeok-un.

 

Thud…!

 

Like this, he died like a puppet with its strings cut.

 

“You bastard…!”

 

“Poison Flame King of Hell! How dare you kill my subordinate!! I won’t let this slide!”

 

The moment Tang Meng opened his mouth, Jeok-un shouted first.

 

Then he charged at Tang Meng like a madman.

 

‘Now your role is completely finished.’

 

Now it was time to eliminate Tang Meng.

 

Jeok-un’s momentum completely changed.

 

Kakakakang-!

 

In the time it took to blink twice, dozens of exchanges occurred.

 

Tang Meng tried to stop his subordinates’ fighting with a shout, but soon changed his plan.

 

‘Killing this bastard comes first!’

 

Tang Meng exploded with killing intent and unleashed an offensive against Jeok-un.

 

There was no trace of contempt.

 

He displayed all the power he had accumulated until reaching the peak of Hwagyeong.

 

There was one reason he temporarily set aside his pride.

 

Having lost one eye and one arm, it was truly the worst situation for a warrior of the Sacheon Family who used poison and hidden weapons.

 

Even so, he was confident of his victory.

 

But…

 

‘What the??’

 

That’s why the bewilderment Tang Meng was feeling now was inevitable.

 

Swish!

 

Whoosh!

 

“Keup!”

 

The guy who had been struggling or having difficulty blocking attacks earlier was now blocking or countering far too easily.

 

Seeing this, Tang Meng finally realized.

 

‘…Hi, he was hiding his strength?’

 

Surprisingly, his opponent had been concealing his power.

 

Cold sweat naturally flowed down his back.

 

The opponent’s movements, dodging all of his attacks, were definitely not below his level.

 

‘This guy… he’s not just at the mature level of Hwagyeong.’

 

No, it wasn’t just that he wasn’t below.

 

He was stronger than himself.

 

At the moment when he had to acknowledge a fact he never wanted to admit.

 

Puuk-!

 

With an eerie tearing sound, Tang Meng’s waist folded in half.

 

“Keuk…!”

 

A terrible sense of powerlessness as all energy scattered.

 

Thud, the white Wolcheon was deeply embedded in the abdomen of the kneeling Tang Meng.

 

The location was three inches above the navel.

 

“Keuaaa!!”

 

It was right at his dantian.

 

When Tang Meng writhed in extreme, indescribable pain from his shattered dantian.

 

“Thank you.”

 

Jeok-un’s whisper could be heard.

 

“Thanks to you being more stupid than expected, things went well.”

 

“Keu, keu, keugeuk!?”

 

Chwaak!

 

Jeok-un smiled bitterly and, pulling Wol-ha from the dantian, delivered his final words.

 

“Go and wait. Your brother will follow soon.”

 

After leaving those words, he launched his body.

 

Tang Meng’s pupils trembled as if struck by an earthquake as he watched Jeok-un disappear.

 

Now facing death, Tang Meng clearly intuited.

 

The greatest obstacle to the Sacheon Family and the family head was.

 

None other than that man.

 

‘Brother… nim.’

 

Tang Meng wanted to convey that fact somehow.

 

But he couldn’t.

 

Already, Tang Meng’s vision was being dyed with pitch-black darkness.

 

* * *

 

‘It’s about to explode.’

 

Jeok-un thought as he searched for his target on the battlefield where chaos reigned.

 

Tang Meng’s corpse came into his view.

 

Wuung…!

 

The poison of the Sacheon Family was deeply connected to death.

 

Warriors of the Sacheon Family utilized even their own deaths.

 

Warriors who learned the Poison Blood Flow technique had one characteristic.

 

Just before or after death, if a warrior who learned the Blood Flow technique received no treatment from a Dang Family member.

 

Geugeugeung…!

 

Like this, the corpse’s entire body would swell as if about to burst, becoming a bomb made of flesh and blood.

 

‘Found him.’

 

In this critical situation, Jeok-un found the target he was looking for.

 

“Keup! Keuk!”

 

Pabat!

 

Jeok-un launched himself toward Jang Bo-heom, who was fighting Moyong Geon.

 

“Heuk?!”

 

“Let’s go now.”

 

He said while grabbing the back of the man’s neck.

 

“Keok! Wait…!”

 

Jang Bo-heom made a metallic sound as his throat was choked by the grip on his neck, but Jeok-un didn’t care what state Jang Bo-heom was in and gathered more energy at his feet to launch his body.

 

Paaaaaat!

 

At the same time as Jeok-un’s figure disappeared like a streak of wind.

 

Kwaaaaang-!!

 

Tang Meng’s corpse exploded, and a massive shockwave swept across the battlefield.
