Chapter 37

At Eok I-geon’s brutal handiwork, not only I but also the brothers Eok Wi-baek and Eok Hwi-gyeom froze.

Even though they knew his temperament better than anyone, the visual impact was tremendous.

The space that had been clean and elegant until Eok I-geon’s arrival was now completely painted with blood. Dozens of corpses were just a bonus.

At this shocking fact, Eok Wi-baek seemed newly enraged.

He who had only been watching until now burst into angry shouts toward Eok I-geon.

“Do you think you can get away quietly after causing such chaos? If Father learns of this, he will punish you!”

“So you’re planning to tattle on me?”

“I am destined to become the Junior Patriarch. You dared to invade my quarters and kill innocent subordinates, so I will formally report you to the Hostage Taker!”

The Hostage Taker was a kind of inspection organization.

It could be called a quite powerful group that could investigate illegal activities within Maegyo and even carry out punishments accordingly.

“You touched me first, brother. I thought you were prepared for at least this much, but weren’t you?”

“Now you’re even framing me? When did I ever touch you!”

Did you already forget about kidnapping me?

You said you did it to make Eok I-geon lose his mind.

Just as I was dumbfounded by Eok Wi-baek’s lies, he pointed his finger at me and said.

“I had something to ask this wench, so I ordered Jongsan to bring her. Should I have sent a palanquin to fetch one lowly thing?”

Wow, look at what this bastard is saying.

I already knew his character was rock bottom, but isn’t this really too much?

“I think I mentioned this before, but your mouth is the problem, brother.”

Instead of me trembling with anger, Eok I-geon delivered a sharp retort.

“How about pulling out your tongue while we’re at it? I think that would be helpful for the rest of your life.”

“What? Does this bastard think words are everything!”

Eok Hwi-gyeom was also present.

Feeling humiliated in front of his younger brother, Eok Wi-baek suddenly swung his sword.

Swoosh!

A crescent-shaped red energy flew toward Eok I-geon.

Eok I-geon gracefully spun in place as if he had anticipated it and deflected the energy upward.

Clang!

That beautiful movement, like a painting come to life, was the Severed Soul Moon Dance technique from the Soul-Severing Ten Absolute Demon Sword, a unique martial art of the enemy.

Wow, I never thought I’d see this in real life.

“Is this all you’ve got?”

“You bastard! Really!”

Unlike me who was admiring, Eok Wi-baek seemed to be getting increasingly angry.

He instantly closed the distance and aimed for Eok I-geon’s vital point.

Whoosh!

An eerie sound of cutting air slashed toward Eok I-geon.

But this time too, Eok I-geon was relaxed.

He easily dodged Eok Wi-baek’s attack and struck with his left palm.

Bang!

With a dull sound, Eok Wi-baek’s shoulder shook and his balance was broken.

Taking advantage of that gap, Eok I-geon flicked his finger.

His specialty that had saved me from the Martial Arts Alliance spy.

It was the Jade-Breaking Bullet Technique.

A transparent orb-shaped energy flew like lightning and struck Eok Wi-baek’s sword blade.

Clang!

The sword blade rippled as if it would break, and Eok Wi-baek’s body was forcibly pushed back.

“This bastard!”

Eok Wi-baek was enraged by Eok I-geon’s playful response.

Murderous red energy completely covered his body.

“Die!”

Shouting in fury, Eok Wi-baek swung his sword with all his might.

Flash!

Sharp energy from the sword tip shot toward Eok I-geon like a viper’s fangs.

Boom boom boom!

Consecutive explosions erupted where Eok I-geon had been standing.

As if catching movement in the thick dust, Eok Wi-baek exploded red energy once more.

I couldn’t see anything, but Eok Wi-baek kept swinging his sword again and again.

His killing intent to definitely kill Eok I-geon was transmitted to me as well.

“Pathetic.”

Where the dust that had filled the room settled.

Eok I-geon stood gazing at Eok Wi-baek with an extremely elegant posture as if nothing had happened.

“This is as far as I’ll go easy on you.”

Though it was an arrogant tone, I was certain it was Eok I-geon’s true feelings. Even to my novice eyes in martial arts, Eok Wi-baek was no match for Eok I-geon.

The reason he let Eok Wi-baek rampage while shooting energy was purely due to Eok I-geon’s twisted nature.

Crushing someone when they’ve given their all.

Eok I-geon was a person who felt ecstasy at such times.

He wasn’t called a psychopath for nothing.

Whoooosh!

Eok I-geon’s momentum exploded like a volcano.

Subtle white energy heavily pressed down on the area.

Though he hesitated briefly at Eok I-geon’s changed attitude, Eok Wi-baek didn’t just stand still either.

Clang! Clang clang clang!

In an instant they were entangled, exchanging blows for over ten seconds.

Though the room was spacious, it wasn’t outdoors.

Furniture and all kinds of decorations broke, shattered, and turned to powder.

As the exchanges continued, Eok Wi-baek’s breathing became increasingly rough.

In contrast, Eok I-geon was not much different from the beginning.

“Ugh!”

As his internal energy was overwhelmed and his technique execution was also overwhelmed, Eok Wi-baek’s face turned red with shame. A fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He looked so frustrated that it seemed he might choose mutual destruction.

Eok Wi-baek, who had been glaring at Eok I-geon while panting, suddenly corrected his stance.

As if he had resolved something, he gripped his sword in a completely different way than before.

Crack!

A strange sound caught my ears.

What’s that?

My puzzlement was brief, as suddenly Eok Wi-baek’s sword blade split into dozens of pieces.

Each of them was a hidden weapon.

The sword fragments flew toward Eok I-geon at tremendous speed.

Blood and Flesh Flying Wildly.

True to its meaning of blood and flesh scattering chaotically, it was a vicious killing technique among killing techniques, filled with the evil intent to leave not even a corpse.

He had crossed the line far too much.

Eok I-geon would now never let Eok Wi-baek live.

No matter how much he was hiding his true nature, Eok I-geon wasn’t generous enough to spare someone who used a killing technique on him.

“Heh.”

As expected, Eok I-geon was smiling.

He looked meaningfully at the fragments heading toward him and leaped up lightly.

Eok I-geon’s form floating in the air was like a ghost.

It seemed to deliberately show that your best effort is only this much to me.

“Brother.”

Eok I-geon’s voice changed.

The sword playing in his hands extended in all directions.

Points became lines, and lines overlapped again to form surfaces.

Guooooo!

A translucent energy barrier containing white light revealed itself with a tremendous resonance.

Cr, crazy!

That was a sword barrier.

I couldn’t believe that Eok I-geon’s level was already at the point where he could deploy a sword barrier.

Eok Wi-baek’s hidden weapon fragments naturally fell powerlessly to the ground without leaving even a single scar.

“H, how…!”

I wasn’t the only one surprised.

Breaking the framework of sword energy meant he had reached the extreme demonic realm beyond the pinnacle.

It meant he had risen to a level comparable to the Ten Supremes of the Martial Arts World.

Did he already possess this level of skill at this time?

I knew Eok I-geon was a monster, but I couldn’t help but gasp once again.

“This is impossible…”

Eok Wi-baek sat down on the ground in a daze.

Anyone could see he was in a state incapable of counterattack.

However, emotions like mercy had never existed in Eok I-geon from the beginning.

Finger energy shot from the five fingers of his left hand.

They aimed for Eok Wi-baek’s arms, legs, and abdomen.

It was his intention to turn him into a cripple who could never use martial arts again.

“Stop!”

It was then that Cheon-gang’s voice suddenly intervened.

He leaped between Eok I-geon and Eok Wi-baek.

Clang!

One stream of wind split into two, then three, four, five streams, deflecting each ultimate technique of the Jade-Breaking Bullet technique with his sword.

Each time, Cheon-gang’s body shook from the strong impact, and to my eyes, it looked as if five Cheon-gangs were coming and going.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

After five explosive sounds, Cheon-gang finally revealed his complete form.

“No more… you cannot…”

Perhaps due to forcibly blocking Eok I-geon’s attack, Cheon-gang knelt on one knee and coughed up blood.

“What the hell are you all doing!”

Surprisingly, it was Cheonma who stopped Eok I-geon from launching a second attack, regardless of whether his subordinate Cheon-gang was coughing up blood or not.

I don’t know how he found out and came, but he appeared before us looking furious.

Behind him, several people who appeared to be Maegyo leadership, including Ghost Spirit Hall Master Gong Pae-cheon, stood like a backdrop.
