Murim Psychopath (싸이코패스 in 무림) will release Murim Psychopath Chapter 27 for English fast-scan readers next Tuesday, May 19, 2026.
If you are tired of the typical “righteous hero” trope, this dark and refreshing take on the martial arts genre has likely caught your attention. The manhwa follows Dong Bongsu, a once-in-a-generation real-world psychopath who accidentally gets logged into the “real Murim” (instead of a virtual reality game) due to a mistake by the Grim Reaper. Instead of using his new life to cultivate peace, Bongsu brings his merciless, psychopathic tendencies into a world already overflowing with conspiracies and malice.

Why Murim Psychopath Chapter 27 Matters
The English fast-scan teams (such as RoliaScan and Thunderscans) have been updating the manhwa weekly on Tuesdays, keeping close pace with the Korean raws. The recent chapters have focused heavily on Bongsu’s escalating conflicts, where he actively seeks revenge against incredibly powerful martial artists—not for righteous reasons (like avenging a master), but purely for his own twisted motives.
What makes Chapter 27 so critical? Because the manhwa is directly adapting a popular Korean web novel (originally serialized on Novelpia), readers already know the trajectory of this brutal arc. The previous chapter ended with a major cliffhanger regarding a vicious confrontation, and Chapter 27 is poised to deliver the violent fallout.
Murim Psychopath Chapter 27 Spoilers (Based on the Novel)
According to readers of the original web novel and fast-scan updates, here is what you can expect from this upcoming release:
Brutal Attack
Spoilers indicate that Chapter 27 will feature a highly anticipated and incredibly violent confrontation. Bongsu does not fight with honor or follow the traditional rules of the Murim Alliance. Readers can expect him to use underhanded, terrifyingly calculated methods to completely dismantle his current opponents.
Head-Opening Great Method
The novel counterpart to this chapter features a bizarre and intense medical/torture sequence. Spoilers suggest that a character named Tang Wu will use “Dragon-Phoenix Golden Needles” across Bongsu’s body to perform a dangerous technique called the “Head-Opening Great Method”. This process is expected to either push Bongsu’s physical limits further or trigger a horrifying reaction that makes him even more dangerous to those around him.
