Evil Hegemon Martial God

Chapter 96

‘What an insolent bastard-.’

Budaeju threw the Chongwan’s corpse with an irritated expression.

Murderous intent already glinted in his eyes, and his blood-soaked hands craved new prey.

“You have no idea who you’ve just provoked.”

“Are all you Central Plains scum blessed with such long tongues?”

Crack.

Budaeju ground his teeth furiously.

The more they exchanged words, the more his rage boiled over.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

At that moment, nearly twenty warriors instantly surrounded Jeok-un.

They were all Gwirryeongdae Mages.

“Everyone, release your seals. Use your full power.”

There was no response.

But as soon as Budaeju’s command ended, tremendous energy waves began sweeping across the deck.

Whoooosh!

Rumble!

All the energy waves were unleashed by the Gwirryeongdae warriors, and their momentum was clearly different from before.

Because they had fully opened their hidden demonic arts.

‘Hmm, the weakest is at the peak of transcendence?’

Among the Gwirryeongdae warriors, the weakest was at the peak of transcendence, and most were masters who had reached Hwagyeong.

Martial prowess sufficient to be treated as masters anywhere they went, and capable of leading small factions or groups.

The fact that such individuals were merely ordinary members showed the extent of Gwirryeongdae’s potential.

“Annihilate the enemy!!”

At Budaeju’s command, all of Gwirryeongdae rushed toward Jeok-un.

Whoosh!

Gwirryeongdae warriors attacking from the front, sides, and rear.

Their strategy was meticulous and complex enough to resemble a precision machine.

Therefore, if even one person made a mistake, the entire formation would crumble.

Swish swish swish!

But for the Gwirryeongdae Mages, mistakes did not exist.

Like an organization born to exist for slaughter and annihilation, they only cut off Jeok-un’s escape routes and slowly tightened the noose.

Slash!

Whoooosh!

At that moment, enemy attacks poured down like a torrential rain.

If Jeongpa warriors had witnessed the current situation, they would have been greatly shocked.

Because the Gwirryeongdae Mages had suddenly become several times stronger than before.

Demonic arts possessed incomparable destructive power compared to ordinary martial techniques.

This was because the price of such strength was the erosion of one’s mind or even the shortening of one’s lifespan.

“To think you’d bring out such petty tricks and act so arrogant, calling it power.”

But Jeok-un simply mocked them openly, as if finding it amusing.

He acted as if the Gwirryeongdae’s coordinated attack aimed at his neck was nothing to him.

“How utterly ridiculous.”

And indeed it was.

Crash-!!

The moment Jeok-un stomped down on the deck, it began exploding with a thunderous roar.

Boom boom boom!

Crash!

The deck that had been undulating like waves burst apart piece by piece, striking the enemies.

Jeok-un’s cold energy was wrapped around the broken deck fragments.

“Aaaaagh!”

“Guh, ugh!”

Of course, it pierced through the Gwirryeongdae’s tender flesh.

Some were skewered by large chunks and couldn’t escape instant death.

“Cough, cough…”

A Gwirryeongdae Mage spat up blood with an expression of disbelief.

As if he never expected to end up in such a state despite drawing out all his hidden true power.

But the eerie sound of tearing flesh that struck his ears was undeniably real.

And the excruciating pain from the fragments embedded throughout his body was also genuine.

Swoosh!

As a deck fragment pierced through a vital point, Jeok-un rushed toward the dying Mage.

Slash!

Crack!

With a bone-chilling impact sound, the body was crushed.

It was a whip-like leg strike.

Though it was clearly a human leg made of flesh and blood, the result was as if flesh had been ground in a mortar.

Completely pulverized.

As if a curtain had been drawn before the Mage’s eyes, pitch-black darkness spread.

‘What, how is this, possible…?’

Budaeju found it hard to believe even while witnessing the scene.

Surely demonic arts were the most reliable trump card to reverse the current situation.

But that trump card had been completely neutralized.

‘Moreover, that madman is only using leg techniques.’

In Gangho, bare-handed martial arts were commonly divided into fist, palm, and leg techniques, but the usage frequency of fist and palm techniques was overwhelmingly higher compared to leg techniques.

When you think about it, it was natural.

While leg techniques had strong destructive power, they inevitably made one’s balance precarious.

Because you had to support yourself with one leg instead of two.

Another fatal weakness was the difficulty of combination attacks.

Even the smallest movements were larger compared to fist and palm techniques, making it hard to deliver follow-up strikes or continue combination techniques.

That was common knowledge in Gangho…

But it didn’t apply to Jeok-un.

Crack!

With each kick, he completely crushed spines, thighbones, or pelvises.

Slice!

Or he used his legs like sword blades with honed sharp energy.

Large movements or difficult combinations couldn’t be considered weaknesses.

Because with each attack, one person either died or became crippled.

‘If he starts using both arms as well…!’

Budaeju’s mind became complicated.

The current situation alone could already be called the worst.

If the opponent started using both hands freely as well, it was obvious what would happen.

“What truly ugly eyes you have.”

“…!”

Seeing such a Budaeju, Jeok-un sneered.

“Is it because you’re a mangy dog raised by a filthy pig? Those eyes suit you perfectly.”

“Shut up!”

Budaeju ground his teeth and raised his voice.

But Jeok-un calmly spoke while bending a Gwirryeongdae member’s spine backward.

“You don’t need to worry. I have no intention of using my hands.”

“…What nonsense are you spouting?”

At the Budaeju’s question, Jeok-un smiled eerily.

“What a strange question indeed.”

“?”

“When you crush bugs, do you step on them with your foot or dirty your hands?”

“!!”

Shock spread across everyone’s faces.

So that was the reason he had only used his feet all this time.

‘To that bastard, we’re nothing more than bugs?’

That shock soon transformed into enormous rage.

“Graaaah!! Kill him!!”

The Budaeju charged forward with eyes rolled back.

He was half out of his mind with humiliation and fury.

The other Gwirryeong soldiers were no exception.

Though only four remained, they all followed the Budaeju with murderous faces, rushing toward Jeok-un.

Crack!

Each time a foot struck, the deck caved in.

Jeok-un watched the charging enemies and lowered his body.

Like a swordsman gripping his blade’s handle to unleash a swift strike.

Whoooosh!!

Swooosh!

From Jeok-un’s entire body, the yin energy of Bing Bai Wu Di began to rage.

And the moment the enemies entered his attack range.

‘Crescent Moon Leg .’

Jeok-un’s leg swung like an iron mace.

Shriiiiiek!

The ear-splitting sound of tearing air came first.

Riiip!

The sound of flesh being torn followed.

“…!”

That’s right. The sound came first.

They recognized the sound, and only then realized their own condition.

‘Ah…!’

Just before death, what they felt last was.

Like a fierce cold wind from the North Pole.

A crescent moon so cold it made them shudder.

And their own lower bodies split in half.

…Thud thud!

The severed flesh pieces fell to the ground with dull thuds.

The bloodstains didn’t spread much.

The demons’ flesh had all frozen solid from the northern wind and snow.

‘Im, impossible….’

The Budaeju’s eyes bulged wide.

But that was all.

No matter how much he denied reality, nothing would change.

“Cough…! Hack!”

The Budaeju vomited up blood.

The lukewarm blood quickly cooled and soon froze solid.

It was due to the cold energy still lingering on the deck.

‘How, how could this happen….’

All his subordinates were dead.

Only the Budaeju remained.

He tried somehow to get up and fight again, but.

“…!!”

Thump!

He collapsed ridiculously.

It was because both his legs had been severed.

He hadn’t realized it because even the cut surfaces had frozen, making all sensation disappear.

A single strike that caught even the Budaeju unaware.

This made it clear.

That monster had such an overwhelming difference in level.

That he could treat them like bugs and vermin.

Step.

That monster slowly approached.

One step, two steps.

Finally, the monster reached right in front of him.

“St, stop…”

But the monster didn’t stop.

At this rate, that monster would kill him.

‘Die? Me? This body?’

The Budaeju trembled.

For the first time, the terror of death struck him.

His reason became paralyzed, his vision narrowed.

“I… I have nothing to do with Geumhwang Sangga! I’m a Budaeju leading the Gwirryeongdae of Singyeo… Hack!”

“That’s enough.”

“Ugh, urgh!”

The monster grabbed the Budaeju by the collar and lifted him up, speaking nonchalantly.

“I’ll be catching and killing Demonic Cult bastards more than once or twice from now on, so should I remember every single small fry like you?”

“!!”

“Ho Baek-seon’s lackey. That’s all I need to know, right?”

“?!”

Ho Baek-seon.

This monster had definitely said that name.

This bastard knew the Daeju.

Knowing everything, he had still attacked.

‘Geumhwang Sangga wasn’t the goal from the start! He targeted us from the beginning…!’

Then who exactly was this monster before his eyes?

The Budaeju’s such doubts didn’t continue long.

Because shocking events followed that were enough to cut off everything.

“Oh, here it is.”

“…!”

What Jeok-un pulled from the Budaeju’s chest was a small bead.

The dark gray bead that felt unpleasant just to look at was called a communication orb.

It was a medium for connecting with the Demonic Cult’s information network.

Therefore, the person in charge of the communication orb had to infuse energy into it at set times in set ways.

That would mean their assigned region had no problems.

“Why are you so surprised? I’m just doing your job for you.”

Jeok-un said this while infusing his own energy into the communication orb.

Whoooosh!

Then the communication orb began burning like mad.

“…!!”

The Budaeju’s eyes shook with shock as he witnessed this.

‘Cr, crazy bastard….’

Right now, Jeok-un had informed the Demonic Cult himself.

That someone had destroyed this place.

The reason for this notification was also clear.

As he said before, to destroy everything of Geumhwang Sangga.

And to kill Ssanghyung and Ho Baek-seon.

Crack…!

The communication orb that had been burning madly split in half.

Having expelled all its energy and fulfilled its purpose, it split in two.

Jeok-un spoke with a delighted laugh.

“Good, this should have been properly delivered.”

Yes, the monster truly looked pleased.

As if he couldn’t contain his anticipation for the carnage that would unfold.

“Now then, shall we finish things up as well?”

Clack- clatter!

Watching Jeok-un approach, the Budaeju’s jaw trembled like an aspen leaf.

Whether it was due to the lingering cold energy.

Or because of the monster who far transcended common sense.

Only the dying Budaeju would know.
