Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 109
Thunder Sword Gate was in complete chaos.
Im Hajin was Im Seongmin’s one and only son.
In other words, he was the heir. It was only natural that chaos would ensue when such a person returned with only his head remaining.
“How did such a thing happen…”
“I heard he was on his way to attack Hwajeong Trading Company?”
“Then was he done in by those bastards?”
“But would Hwajeong Trading Company be crazy enough to make such a provocation?”
Everyone reacted as if they couldn’t understand it.
Right, if Hwajeong Trading Company was the culprit, killing Im Hajin could be accepted to some degree.
After all, he was a bandit who tried to steal their riches.
But to deliberately deliver his head and earn Thunder Sword Gate’s hostility?
That was another matter entirely.
In some ways, it could lead to a great bloodbath.
Meanwhile.
“Hajin! Who on earth did this to you…!”
Im Seongmin was holding his dead son’s head and bursting into tears.
His eyes were already filled with grief and rage. It seemed like he wanted to achieve revenge immediately if his heart had its way.
“I cannot send you off like this! At the very least, I’ll make those bastards who did this to you suffer the same fate to appease your spirit.”
Im Seongmin said this and summoned Thunder Sword Gate’s elites.
The elites, each emanating sharp energy, stood before him. They all waited for Im Seongmin’s words with tense faces.
“Hwajeong Trading Company. Those cowardly bastards finally committed their crime. They killed my son and provoked our Thunder Sword Gate.”
He spoke in an extremely angry tone.
The growling Im Seongmin looked at the elites with bloodshot eyes and shouted.
“Therefore, I intend to take revenge for Hajin. So that child Hajin can close his eyes in peace, and so that other forces will never again dare to look down on us.”
“Yes!”
“No more words are needed. Let’s go.”
Im Seongmin personally led Thunder Sword Gate’s elites and moved somewhere.
The target was Hwajeong Trading Company.
The place where Namgung Hyeok was staying.
* * *
“T-This is terrible!”
Heo Jin, who had been drinking tea with Namgung Hyeok, frowned upon hearing his subordinate’s urgent shout.
“What’s the matter?”
“Th-Thunder Sword Gate! Thunder Sword Gate is approaching our main trading company with roughly two hundred troops!”
“What did you say!”
The startled Heo Jin’s eyes widened.
On the other hand, Namgung Hyeok had a calm expression as if what was meant to come had come. He stood up from his seat and spoke to Heo Jin.
“It seems some very angry guests have arrived. Merchant Leader, please prepare to receive them.”
“D-Do you have any idea what this is about?”
“It seems the fact that I cut off Im Hajin’s head and sent it their way has been discovered.”
“Wh-What!?”
Heo Jin was shocked as if hearing this story for the first time.
At that, Namgung Hyeok smiled broadly.
In fact, this matter had been carried out without informing Heo Jin. If he had known, he would have immediately opposed it.
Namgung Hyeok recalled the memories from a few days ago.
Thunder Sword Gate, which had set out on their first trading expedition while widely announcing they were under Sacred Fire Gate’s protection.
And Namgung Hyeok didn’t want that trading expedition to end in failure. So he had secretly followed them.
‘And I noticed their approach.’
Im Hajin and dozens of Thunder Sword Gate members.
They were thoroughly armed and waiting to plunder the Fire Essence. They were in an alley connecting Yunnan and Sichuan, making it a difficult place to escape from.
So…
‘I swept them away first.’
To ensure that Im Hajin’s group would never encounter Hwajeong Trading Company’s expedition. The result was exactly this.
The complete annihilation of the Thunder Sword Gate group that came first.
And sending Im Hajin, with only his head remaining, back to Thunder Sword Gate.
Namgung Hyeok stood in front of Hwajeong Trading Company’s main gate with a bitter smile. Ho Young and Lee Cheolgun joined him at his side.
“W-We need to flee quickly…”
“There’s a secret passage at the back of the trading company! Those who want to escape can go that way.”
“Warriors who wish to fight will wait for Thunder Sword Gate beside the Sacred Fire Gate Master!”
‘Ho?’
Namgung Hyeok looked back with interest.
At first, there were only one or two people, but as time passed, quite a large number of warriors gathered.
It seemed these were people who had strong resentment from being oppressed by Thunder Sword Gate in the past. Namgung Hyeok thought they would become his allies.
How long had they waited like this?
“Th-They’re coming!”
Someone shouted in a tense voice.
In the distance, Thunder Sword Gate’s forces and Im Seongmin at the front began to come into view.
They were armed with fierce killing intent as if announcing they had come to see blood, and their presence was quite formidable.
Common people would turn pale and flee just from seeing them from afar.
Even among the warriors who remained to block Thunder Sword Gate, some disturbance was visible. They gulped nervously or showed anxious expressions.
Finally, those bastards approached right up close.
Namgung Hyeok looked at Im Seongmin, who was at the very front, and smiled.
“I don’t recall inviting so many guests, so go back. This is not a place for you people to swarm.”
“Are you Namgung Hyeok?”
“Calling me ‘you bastard’ upon first meeting is quite unpleasant to hear.”
“Tell me. Did you kill my son like that?”
Namgung Hyeok chuckled and sent a telepathic message.
[What will you do if I did?]
“This bastard…!”
Im Seongmin unleashed terrifying killing intent.
It was an extremely vicious and flesh-trembling tremendous killing intent. However, Namgung Hyeok, who faced it head-on, showed not the slightest waver.
“I was going to let this pass peacefully, but you’re begging to be killed yourself.”
“What?”
“I’ll warn you one last time. Quietly take your subordinates and get lost from this Hwajeong Trading Company. Otherwise, I won’t stay still.”
“Ha! You won’t stay still?”
Im Seongmin shouted as if it was absurd.
“Do you really want to die? If we put our minds to it, we can crush the likes of you anytime!”
“Hearing those words reminds me of someone.”
[Your son said the exact same thing before he died. It was a pathetic threat.]
Namgung Hyeok continued his telepathic message with a smile.
[So I personally proved to him that his thinking was wrong. It seems you want to end up the same way?]
“How dare you!”
Im Seongmin trembled with rage.
Now the culprit who killed his son had become all too clear.
Thinking this way, he could no longer endure it. He shouted with all his might toward the Thunder Sword Gate members who had followed him.
“Kill that bastard!”
“Waaaaaaaah!”
About two hundred Thunder Sword Gate disciples charged toward Namgung Hyeok.
* * *
Namgung Hyeok looked at the Thunder Sword Gate warriors rushing toward him.
At the same time, he drew the Azure Heaven Sword hanging at his waist.
Sring.
A pleasant sound rang out as flames flickered along his sword.
But before that.
“Hahahaha! If you want to lay a hand on our leader, you’ll have to get past this Surado Ho Young first!”
Someone blocked Namgung Hyeok’s front and shouted loudly.
It was Ho Young. He unleashed the techniques of the Asura Demon-Slaying Blade and instantly cut down the Thunder Sword Gate elites who had been charging. Those who were rushing forward flinched at his terrifying aura.
“Hmm. These worthless fools only came to fill up their numbers.”
At the same time, a slashing strike flashed from another direction. The one who appeared after taking the heads of the elites was none other than Lee Cheolgun.
Ho Young and Lee Cheolgun literally pushed back the Thunder Sword Gate forces as if they were competing with each other.
The Thunder Sword Gate elites were pathetically pushed back by just two people.
Those who saw this scene gaped in shock. The spectacle unfolding before their eyes was by no means ordinary.
“Wh-what is this…?”
“That’s why I warned you in advance.”
Whoosh!
At that moment, Namgung Hyeok stepped forward and spoke.
“The Hwajeong Faction is under the protection of the Sacred Fire Gate’s name.”
Clang!
Namgung Hyeok’s thrust sword clashed with Im Seongmin’s sword.
“Urgh!?”
Im Seongmin nearly dropped his sword from the tremendous shock that tore through his grip. Namgung Hyeok’s strike was that heavy.
“I even sent a warning letter in case you hadn’t heard the news. But how did you act?”
Namgung Hyeok said this while continuously swinging his sword.
Clang! Clank!
Each time their swords clashed, Im Seongmin’s body was pushed backward. Namgung Hyeok didn’t miss the opening he showed and thrust his sword forward.
“You ignored our warning and immediately tried to plunder Hwajeong. Now, it seems I have all the reasons I need to kill you.”
Namgung Hyeok said this as his eyes flashed with killing intent.
“If you have anything to say, say it now.”
“Shut up!”
Im Seongmin couldn’t accept the fact that he was being overwhelmed in presence and shouted.
At the same time.
Crackle!
Lightning burst from his body.
A technique mixed with the power of lightning unfolded, befitting the name of the Thunder Sword Gate sect.
Boom boom boom bang!
Each clash rang out with the sound of thunder. Im Seongmin, having lost his reason in excitement, poured out continuous attacks without thinking about his internal energy consumption.
“Sacred Fire Gate? What gives you bastards the right to dare interfere with our Thunder Sword Gate’s affairs? You’re just a small sect holed up in distant Jiangsu Province…!”
“The Hwajeong Faction was originally part of the Sacred Fire Gate, you see. In other words, they came back to their roots. But you bastards were tormenting those roots.”
“So you killed my son for that!”
“Ridiculous. Then should I have just watched with my eyes open as precious Hwajeong was plundered? It’s absurd how boldly the one who did wrong comes forward.”
“You bastard! I won’t let this slide!”
“Anyone listening would think you were planning to spare me at some point.”
Namgung Hyeok smiled coldly and turned his sword blade to the side.
Screech!
The sharply raised edge scraped against his opponent’s sword surface as it went down.
Im Seongmin widened his eyes and pulled his sword back. But true to being a master of the Harmony Realm, he didn’t panic and immediately counterattacked.
Heavenly Thunder Strike.
Rumble!
A strike like a bolt of lightning rushed to split Namgung Hyeok’s head. Im Seongmin’s lips twisted.
He thought the current attack was unleashed at such a perfect moment that his opponent would absolutely be unable to dodge it.
So he didn’t doubt for a moment that Namgung Hyeok’s head would be smashed and he would die the next instant.
However.
“There’s nothing more to see.”
At that moment, flames exploded from Namgung Hyeok’s sword.
Whoooosh!
The flames that exploded created tremendous speed and power with strong repulsive force.
Explosive Flame Annihilation.
The fifth technique of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword unfolded. The attack that surged forward rushed toward Im Seongmin with terrifying momentum and cut him down.
Slash!
“Urgh!”
His arm and shoulder that had been striking down were completely severed.
But it didn’t end there. Namgung Hyeok thrust the Azure Heaven Sword toward Im Seongmin who was backing away.
Thud!
The sword pierced his chest and flames burst out.
Whoosh!
“Aaaaaaaagh!”
The flames that surged so fiercely burned until the screams died down, then went out. All that remained was Im Seongmin’s ravaged corpse.
“Wh-what!?”
“The sect leader has been defeated!”
All the Thunder Sword Gate warriors who came with him made bewildered sounds.
Their sect leader Im Seongmin was a warrior whose skill, if nothing else, was certain.
But to be overwhelmed so decisively like this…
“Don’t leave a single one alive.”
However, they had no leisure to continue their thoughts.
Namgung Hyeok, who had killed Im Seongmin, immediately joined in to kill the Thunder Sword Gate elites.
“H-help the Sacred Fire Gate leader!”
“Let’s defeat the Thunder Sword Gate!”
Along with that, the Hwajeong Faction warriors who had been watching blankly from behind also joined in.
They swept away the Thunder Sword Gate elites with terrifying momentum. There were some who managed to escape alive, but they were very few.
In other words, it meant they were able to repel most of the enemies who had attacked.
But Namgung Hyeok had no intention of stopping here.
“Everyone. Move out immediately.”
He raised the Azure Heaven Sword high and shouted.
“The target is Thunder Sword Gate. Their main base.”
It was time to go take over the sect that had lost its master.
