Chapter 77
“Everyone focus! He’s no pushover!”
At Hyeol Ak-su’s shout, the Gangnam Seven Evils’ stance changed.
Each of them cut through the suffocating demonic energy in their own way.
Kwaang!
Sporadic explosions echoed through the graveyard.
“Our maknae!”
“Is, is she really dead?”
The Gangnam Seven Evils looked at Mi Ak-hwa’s corpse again and again as if they couldn’t believe it.
They treated others’ lives like flies, but seemed truly shocked by Mi Ak-hwa’s death.
“How dare you… touch the Gangnam Seven Evils?”
Hyeol Ak-su gritted his teeth and unleashed his killing intent.
“I’ll make you regret today’s events forever!”
“Even if you cry and beg for your life, it will be useless!”
“I’ll appease our dead maknae’s soul with your flesh and blood!”
They all charged at Eok I-geon with venomous intent.
“You’re getting in the way, so stay back.”
Eok I-geon grabbed the bound Yang Ha-rin by the nape and threw her forcefully backward.
“Kyaaah!”
With her internal energy sealed, Yang Ha-rin would suffer serious injury if she fell like that.
He’s my lover, but he’s really heartless.
I quickly used the Demon Phoenix Flying Steps to safely catch Yang Ha-rin.
“Sob, sister!”
“It’s okay. Sorry I came late.”
I patted Yang Ha-rin’s shoulder and hurriedly released her internal energy seal and bindings.
“Those bastards, I’m going to kill them!”
Perhaps upset about being kidnapped, Yang Ha-rin immediately showed her fighting spirit. I barely managed to calm her down.
“If you get unnecessarily involved, you might get hurt too. Just hold back for now.”
Judging by Eok I-geon’s momentum, the Gangnam Seven Evils had picked the wrong fight entirely.
Eok I-geon’s patience was already at its limit due to the grandfathers.
Just when he had escaped surveillance and was about to have time alone together, this happened.
Would Eok I-geon really let this situation slide peacefully?
Absolutely never.
If it was the Eok I-geon I knew, he had more than enough pent-up frustration to unleash on the Gangnam Seven Evils.
Saaaak!
First Hyeol Ak-su charged low and fast, crawling along the floor.
His bloodshot eyes flashed with killing intent.
Sharp energy gathered on his claw strike aimed at Eok I-geon’s neck.
Thud!
But Eok I-geon subdued Hyeol Ak-su too easily.
His hand shot out like lightning and caught Hyeol Ak-su’s wrist. Then he lightly spun his body around once.
Kuwung!
Hyeol Ak-su’s body spun helplessly through the air before crashing into the ground.
“Urk!”
Eok I-geon stepped on the groaning Hyeol Ak-su’s chest with one foot. Then without a moment’s hesitation, he pulled on the wrist he was holding.
Crack!
“Uaaaagh!”
Hyeol Ak-su’s entire arm was torn off at the shoulder. Bright red blood gushed like a fountain as Hyeol Ak-su writhed in agony.
“Die!”
Just then, fourth To-gwi-ak burst out from digging through the ground.
In his hands was a thin sword shaped like a long skewer.
Swish!
A streak of sword light shot from him.
But Eok I-geon’s movement was faster.
Not only did Eok I-geon fluidly dodge the sword, he stepped onto his opponent’s blade.
Crack!
Clang clang clang!
To-gwi-ak’s thin sword shattered into pieces from Eok I-geon’s internal force.
“Gah!”
The broken blade fragments became projectiles that attacked their owner instead.
Before he could even wipe his bleeding hands, To-gwi-ak hid underground again.
“Hmph.”
Eok I-geon lifted his foot as if it was ridiculous.
Kuwung!
The ground shook from just one step.
The earth trembled as if an earthquake had struck, and the nearby area cracked apart.
Kwarrrrr!
The earth let out a terrible roar.
Simultaneously, sounds of breaking bones and bursting flesh came from underground. The cracked crevices were soon filled with red blood.
At that moment, a black shadow slipped behind Eok I-geon like a ghost.
It was third Bi-gwi-ja, specialized in stealth and concealment techniques.
There was no sound, presence, or even killing intent.
He approached Eok I-geon’s back in an instant and stabbed at his neck with a dagger.
“This Guy! Revenge for my brothers is…!”
Bi-gwi-ja seemed to think he had truly pierced Eok I-geon’s neck with his sword.
But by a hair’s breadth, Eok I-geon’s shoulder twisted smoothly and his hand reached backward.
“Gack!”
Bi-gwi-ja, who had aimed for the back of the neck, was instead caught by the nape by Eok I-geon.
To my eyes, it looked as if Bi-gwi-ja had offered up his own neck.
Bi-gwi-ja struggled desperately to escape from Eok I-geon’s grip.
Eok I-geon’s demonic energy quickly penetrated into his body.
“Kheok! Kuaaah!”
Bi-gwi-ja groaned and screamed in agony.
Eok I-geon’s demonic energy greedily devoured Bi-gwi-ja’s organs and bones like a demon.
His entire body repeatedly bulged out and collapsed.
Blood vessels protruded and the sound of bone joints breaking finely could be heard continuously.
Soon after, black blood flowed from Bi-gwi-ja’s seven orifices.
This was Eok I-geon’s signature technique of neutralizing opponents with demonic energy alone, the Shattered Divine Meridians.
Thud.
When Eok I-geon released his grip, Bi-gwi-ja collapsed powerlessly to the floor. From the lack of breathing sounds, he seemed already dead.
“…”
Eok I-geon’s indifferent gaze turned toward the Gangnam Seven Evils.
In an instant, three were dead and first Hyeol Ak-su had lost one arm.
It was the first moment the notorious Gangnam Seven Evils trembled in fear.
“Uh, sister.”
Yang Ha-rin, seemingly shocked by Eok I-geon’s cruel methods, grabbed my arm hesitantly and said.
“What if he kills them all like that? Shouldn’t we find out something from those guys?”
“Huh? Right. We should!”
This wasn’t the time to just stand there watching in a daze.
“Young Master!”
At my call, Eok I-geon stopped in his tracks.
“You can’t kill them all! We need to find out who’s behind this!”
“…I understand.”
Eok I-geon’s brow furrowed for a moment then relaxed.
He clearly didn’t like being told not to kill them.
Nevertheless, Eok I-geon nodded and made me a promise.
Thud!
It was then that First Hyeol Ak-su, who had been lying on the floor writhing, grabbed Eok I-geon’s ankle with his remaining hand.
“Everyone run! Hurry!”
As if determined to sacrifice himself, Hyeol Ak-su shouted desperately.
“B-Big brother!”
“Elder brother!”
“I said run!”
The first to move in response to Hyeol Ak-su’s sincerity was Fifth Pae Ak-do.
“Eeek!”
Second Malicious Demon, who had been wavering between Wicked Villain and Hyeol Ak-su, finally turned and began to flee.
“What a fucking mess.”
Eok I-geon looked down pitifully at Hyeol Ak-su who was clinging to his leg and holding on.
“Did you truly think you could escape from here alive?”
He released the Pae-cheon Divine Sword he had been holding.
Thunk!
Whoosh—
The sword that had been falling to the floor bounced up and flew on its own just before touching the ground.
“S-S-Sword control!”
Hyeol Ak-su trembled as he witnessed the sword floating by itself before his eyes.
And rightfully so, as sword control was a technique that could only be performed after reaching the Hyeon-gyeong realm.
It was natural for Hyeol Ak-su to be shocked, as Eok I-geon, who was barely twenty years old, was demonstrating something that only the Ten Martial Arts Masters of Gangho could perform.
Ping—
Eok I-geon’s beloved sword, the Pae-cheon Divine Sword, shot forth like an arrow.
“N-Nooo!”
Hyeol Ak-su screamed, but it was useless.
Thunk!
The Pae-cheon Divine Sword pierced through Wicked Villain’s thigh and soared into the sky.
“Ahhh!”
Wicked Villain fell face-first into the dirt.
The Pae-cheon Divine Sword had already changed direction and passed through Malicious Demon’s shoulder.
“Kyaaah!”
Malicious Demon, with a large hole pierced through his shoulder, lost his balance and rolled on the ground.
“Uaaaah!”
Sixth Musician, who hadn’t managed to escape and was standing there dumbfounded, finally lost strength in his legs and collapsed.
Swoosh—
The Pae-cheon Divine Sword quietly descended toward him as its target.
The terrified Musician crawled on the ground like a beast, crying his heart out.
Slash!
The Pae-cheon Divine Sword mercilessly cut off Musician’s legs and arms.
Bright red blood flowed steadily, giving off a thick bloody scent.
“S-Stop!”
Hyeol Ak-su’s brotherly love was so desperate it was heart-wrenching.
If their own pain was so sad, shouldn’t they normally understand that others feel the same way?
These were people I simply couldn’t understand.
Thwack!
Eok I-geon kicked Hyeol Ak-su in the face.
Then he pointed the Pae-cheon Divine Sword, which had returned after completing its mission, at his throat and asked.
“Who ordered this?”
“….”
“Every time you remain silent from now on, I’ll kill one of them. You only have three chances total.”
“I-If I tell you… will you spare us?”
“Not a chance.”
Eok I-geon added dismissively.
“I’ll send you off with as little pain as possible. That’s the only mercy I can offer.”
