Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 117
The divine technique that Namgung Hyeok had displayed was truly of absurd power.
To be able to kill warriors of this caliber with just a single slashing strike?
But this wasn’t something they had seen wrong—it was stark reality.
In other words, they had to deal with it somehow.
“Th-this damn…!”
“Run away!”
“Aaaaaaah!”
At that horrific scene, those who had tried to face Namgung Hyeok began fleeing in terror.
They had completely lost their fighting spirit after witnessing Namgung Hyeok’s single strike.
But the place they were in was on top of ships.
The places to flee were limited.
Someone desperately threw a grappling hook toward another ship, but.
“Where are you trying to flee in such a hurry?”
Swoosh!
There was someone who moved like a shadow and cut down the water bandit who was trying to escape.
It was Jeon Wook, who had arrived behind Namgung Hyeok.
He unleashed his characteristic shadow-like movement technique and began killing the remaining ones one by one.
“Tsk. Both this guy and that guy are monsters.”
Lee Cheolgun clicked his tongue at the sight.
He was newly realizing what kind of people he had fought against during his Evil Path Alliance Leader days.
But even so, his movements didn’t change.
Lee Cheolgun also knew well what he needed to do.
Slash slash slash!
Fierce slashing strikes poured forth from his sword.
“Argh!”
“Gah!”
Those who had tried to flee had their bodies cut in half and departed from this world.
Unlike Jeon Wook, Lee Cheolgun rampaged while revealing his presence like mad.
Soon, not a single person remained alive on the ship.
“Moving to the next one.”
Namgung Hyeok said this and moved using the grappling hooks the water bandits had set up in advance.
“Aaaah!”
“Don’t come!”
“Cut the grappling hooks!”
The water bandits in the direction they were heading were horrified and struck the grappling hooks with their blades.
But these were grappling hooks with connection parts made of solid iron to prevent them from being cut.
So there was no way ordinary water bandits with common martial prowess, who weren’t even peak masters, could cut them.
Namgung Hyeok and the two others arrived shortly after.
Namgung Hyeok immediately unleashed Fire Dance Chain.
The Flame Sword sparkled and danced, creating beautiful trajectories, and all those in those trajectories scattered blood and collapsed to the ground.
Jeon Wook and Lee Cheolgun rushed out to both sides and brought down those whom Namgung Hyeok couldn’t kill due to positioning.
It didn’t even take a moment for them to seize the ship.
In an instant, they had captured two of the water bandits’ ships.
“…Retreat!”
Seeing this, Taebaek shouted without hesitation.
Hoooooo!
The sound of a massive horn could be heard.
At the same time, all the ships of the water bandits pulled back in unison.
They began fleeing at tremendous speed, fearing they might be caught in the middle.
“Hmm.”
Namgung Hyeok sheathed the Azure Heaven Sword and watched their retreating figures.
“I was trying to catch the leader, but he ran away.”
“He seems to be quite a clever fellow. He must have realized there would be no answer if the ships kept getting picked off one by one like this.”
“Should we chase them?”
“We should try. I recommend leaving a few sailors to capture these two ships and then moving immediately.”
“Good. Let’s do that.”
The three people, including Namgung Hyeok, returned to the main ship through the connected grappling hooks.
Those on the ship welcomed them with cheers.
Everyone had clearly witnessed the three’s heroic deeds.
The sight of just three people conquering ships remained deeply etched in everyone’s minds.
“You’ve worked hard. Are you injured anywhere?”
“No. Rather, let’s pursue them immediately.”
Namgung Hyeok told Namgung Jihak about the discussion he had just had with Lee Cheolgun.
Namgung Jihak nodded.
“Indeed, it would be better to chase them before they flee too far away. Then it would be better to leave with only a small number of personnel.”
“Those who know how to sail ships, come this way! We will capture the water bandits’ ships.”
Soon, a considerable number of the pre-prepared personnel boarded the water bandits’ ships.
Namgung Hyeok watched them return to a nearby city and sailed the ship again.
“Now, let’s go clean up the rest.”
The water bandit cleanup was just beginning.
* * *
“Damn it all!”
Taebaek, who had arrived at a nearby island, let out a loud curse.
His subordinate beside him was startled and looked at him, but Taebaek didn’t care.
In his mind, only the fact that he had lost three cannons and twenty percent of his forces remained.
“Those damn bastards dare to…”
He trembled and cursed, but nothing changed.
And soon, recalling the martial prowess that So Yeon and Namgung Hyeok had displayed, he shuddered.
Honestly speaking, it was completely different from his expectations.
‘If I fought them one-on-one, would I have a chance of winning?’
He too was a Harmony Realm master who wouldn’t bow to anyone.
So he asked himself that question, but ten out of ten times, the answer came back as no.
Taebaek gritted his teeth. His pride was wounded, but there was nothing he could do about it.
“Who would have thought they’d be that strong…”
Their power was incomparable to what he had heard in stories.
Taebaek let out a sigh.
What should he do about this? Should he regroup and return?
But even if he returned, wouldn’t the same situation as before just repeat itself?
But just as he was thinking that, a chilling voice came from behind Taebaek.
“Why did you turn the ships around? We were preparing to go out.”
“You people are…”
Taebaek frowned.
What was there were the Blood Heaven Cult’s reinforcements that he knew well.
“Because if the ships disappeared one by one, it would have been over. I just fled quickly before the damage grew larger.”
“Hmph. Coward. If you had waited for us to step forward, no further damage would have occurred.”
The Yellow-Robed Man from the Blood Heaven Sect clicked his tongue and spoke.
Taebaek felt heat rising to his face, but he didn’t charge at them.
After all, the warriors from the Blood Heaven Sect were valuable allied forces.
Moreover, there was no guarantee he could win if he fought against them.
“What will you do from now on?”
“First, we’ll rest here, then gather more cannons to face them. With concentrated fire from more cannons, even they won’t be able to withstand it.”
“Didn’t you see that monster-like archer destroying the cannons?”
“Of course I saw it. But using attacks of that power must require tremendous internal energy consumption. He’ll need to recuperate for at least several days.”
“Then you’re saying there won’t be any sniping of cannons for the next few days.”
“That’s right. So first we’ll go around the strongholds gathering weapons, then…”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Just then, Taebaek’s words were cut off as a loud noise echoed.
Taebaek went outside and shouted.
“What’s happening!”
“Enemies!”
“What!?”
“Enemy ships are approaching this way!”
Taebaek’s eyes widened as he looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing.
Beyond the horizon, three ships could be faintly seen.
Taebaek’s face twisted sharply.
“Damn it all!”
* * *
“Found them.”
Namgung Hyeok, confirming the water bandits’ position from afar, muttered thus.
“How many enemies are there?”
“At the very least, over fifteen hundred. We should be careful.”
“For someone saying we should be careful, your voice is quite calm.”
“Because what we have to do doesn’t change anyway. Besides, they may be numerous, but they’re all just a ragtag bunch.”
The reason water bandits were fearsome was that they could fight freely on the swaying waters while riding boats.
Or they could dive underwater and attack ships from below.
But water bandits on land were no different from mountain bandits.
No, considering their lack of land combat experience, they were actually inferior.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
Namgung Hyeok infused his internal energy and shouted in a booming voice.
“Sweep away these damn water bandits!”
“Waaaaaaaah!”
Three ships arrived at the coastline, and Namgung Hyeok was the first to use his light body technique to land on the shore.
Whoosh!
“Kyaaaah!”
“Wh-what is this!”
The water bandits were terrified by the lightning bolt falling from the sky.
But Namgung Hyeok had no intention of stopping for them. He swept away everything blocking his path like a dragon.
And Jeon Wook and Lee Cheolgun supported such Namgung Hyeok.
“Don’t leave the Seonghwa Gate Master alone! Full army charge!”
“Protect the Gate Master!”
“Sweep away the water bandits!”
A beat later, the allied forces commanded by Namgung Jihak launched their attack.
The water bandits retreated helplessly before their overwhelming momentum. It didn’t seem like they could block them no matter what.
It was then.
Swoosh!
Something making a sharp cutting sound flew toward Namgung Hyeok, who was breaking through at the front.
Clang!
Namgung Hyeok deflected it with his Azure Heaven Sword and looked toward where the hidden weapon came from.
There, about twenty ominous-feeling Yellow-Robed Men were gathered.
“We finally meet, Namgung Hyeok.”
“Who are you?”
“We’re the Yellow Sword Ghost Unit from the Blood Heaven Sect. We’re also the ones who will take your head.”
“Hmm.”
Namgung Hyeok looked at them and chuckled.
“I think you look a bit lacking to take my head?”
“You’ll soon change that thought. Attack!”
The Yellow Sword Ghost Unit members rushed forward swinging their swords.
Were they truly elite?
Each one’s movements were on a different level from ordinary water bandits.
Anyone could tell they were skilled masters.
Clang!
Namgung Hyeok blocked three sword strikes in an instant.
Swish!
And in that gap, a dagger thrown by the one who had shot the hidden weapon earlier pierced through.
Namgung Hyeok stepped with True Step and unleashed an energy wave.
Bang! The energy wave that burst forth blew away the hidden weapon.
But that was the moment.
“These Blood Heaven Sect scum…”
Lee Cheolgun broke through the right flank of the Yellow Sword Ghost Unit that had been trying to form a formation against Namgung Hyeok.
Clang!
The Yellow Sword Ghost Unit was momentarily flustered and focused on blocking him.
Lee Cheolgun swung his sword without hiding his fiercer aura than ever before.
Slash!
Those blocking him began falling one by one with their throats cut.
Namgung Hyeok saw this and chuckled.
“Just like someone who got backstabbed by the Blood Heaven Sect. It seems he got quite angry seeing them appear.”
“Lord. They’re escaping.”
Then Jeon Wook reported seeing several executives including the water bandit leader escaping in the distance.
The place they were heading to was where the ships were moored.
It seemed they were trying to escape taking advantage of the chaotic battle.
Namgung Hyeok looked at Jeon Wook and said.
“Can you help Lee Cheolgun defeat the Yellow Sword Ghost Unit?”
“If it’s an order.”
“I think I can handle that side alone. Then I’ll go first.”
“I wish you good fortune in battle.”
“I wish you good fortune too.”
Thud!
Namgung Hyeok said that and deployed his light body technique at high speed.
“…!”
The distance closed instantly and those who had fallen behind came within Namgung Hyeok’s range.
Slash!
In an instant, one executive’s head flew through the air.
“Damn it all!”
“It’s him! The Seonghwa Gate Master!”
The Surocae Executives spat out curses as they prepared for battle.
Namgung Hyeok looked at Taebaek among them and grinned wickedly.
“You bastards. Where do you think you’re running to?”
He pointed his Heaven-Piercing Sword at the Water Bandits as he spoke.
“Come at me.”
Namgung Hyeok’s aura surged fiercely.
“I’ll turn you all into fish food.”
