Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 119
“A rebellion…”
Namgung Hyeok’s eyes sharpened.
“What’s the current situation?”
“Ma Doil, who was originally the Gwichang Gate Master, and his close associates have fallen from power, and it appears they were either killed by the rebels or fled to safety. If they’re still alive, they’ll likely make contact soon.”
“Then what bastards led this rebellion?”
“It’s not certain. However, seeing how the Gwichang Gate Master was defeated without even being able to put up a fight, they must be quite skilled.”
After thinking for a moment, Namgung Hyeok presented a likely hypothesis.
“Perhaps the fact that we joined hands was discovered.”
“Do you think so too, Leader?”
“Otherwise, the timing of the rebellion is too coincidental. It’s possible that the Blood Heaven Sect pulled some strings.”
To eliminate Ma Doil who wouldn’t listen to them and directly take control of Gwichang Gate.
“Ho Young. Deploy the disciples to search for Ma Doil and his close associates. If we handle this well, they might come over to our side and become our strength.”
“Hehe. I was already tracking their traces. When I pretended to be moving, this route was drawn out.”
Ho Young said this while showing him a map.
There were marks not far from Seonghwa Sect.
This was probably the route he expected.
“Hmm. At this distance, it might be worth going there personally?”
“Right after returning from dealing with the bandits?”
“It wasn’t difficult work anyway. I’m not particularly tired or anything.”
“Then I’ll make preparations.”
“Please do.”
Ho Young nodded and left.
Namgung Hyeok looked at the map and added marks to several more places.
He thought they might come this way on the map.
‘I can send other guys to these places.’
Soon Ho Young assembled the forces that hadn’t participated in the bandit subjugation.
Namgung Hyeok divided the forces into three and instructed Baek Ya and Maeng Seungji to go to the locations he had marked respectively.
What remained was the place Ho Young had originally pointed to.
Even he thought it was the most likely location.
Namgung Hyeok departed for the search with Ho Young and about thirty elite troops.
* * *
“Huff, gasp, huff!”
The former Gwichang Gate Master, Ma Doil, ran with all his might because he didn’t want to die.
His body was already covered in wounds and soaked in blood.
But he didn’t even have time to stop and tend to his injuries.
“Chase him!”
“He’s over there!”
Because fierce voices could be heard from behind.
It was the hunter unit sent by the Blood Heaven Sect.
That unit called the Beast Unit was truly a unit with wild nature, just like its name.
They had chased all the way here from northern Jiangsu Province with the single determination to never let their prey escape.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it!”
Ma Doil continuously spat out curses.
How did it come to this?
It started when the Blood Heaven Sect’s Seven Death Blade visited the sect.
From that moment, the Blood Heaven Sect’s attention was fixed on Gwichang Gate.
But Ma Doil chose to join hands with Namgung Hyeok instead of them, and when they went to subjugate the bandits, he staged a fake war.
Up to that point, it was flawlessly perfect, but…
‘I never thought they would just expel me like that.’
When the invasion results were unsatisfactory, Seven Death Blade incited Gwichang Gate’s executives to start a rebellion.
Saying he would personally eliminate Ma Doil.
He didn’t know if they were doing this because they knew about his alliance with Namgung Hyeok, but…
In any case, it was the worst possible situation for Ma Doil.
He ended up severely injured after a fierce blood battle and had to flee.
There weren’t many of his remaining close associates left either.
“Gate Master!”
“Please hold on just a little longer!”
Their numbers had been cut in half while escaping from Gwichang Gate.
Even those remaining were exhausted or had minor injuries that prevented them from exerting their full strength.
They couldn’t compare to the terrifying pursuers following behind.
‘But somehow I have to shake them off…’
Just a little further and it would be Seonghwa Sect’s territory.
That meant he could officially receive protection from the Seonghwa Gate Master.
So he had to somehow shake off those guys before then.
That way, the chances of being caught would be greatly reduced.
But just as he was thinking this.
Swoosh!
“…!”
Clang!
Ma Doil swung his spear to deflect the hidden weapon that was flying toward his neck.
“What!”
He looked ahead in shock.
A unit of Beast Unit members had already intercepted them and were approaching from the front.
Their escape route was blocked.
“Hehe. Ma Doil. Your escape ends here. Accept your fate obediently.”
“You bastard…!”
The Beast Unit Leader who had been behind them spoke with a sneer.
Ma Doil gritted his teeth. It seemed like fighting was now the only option left.
“Gate Master. We’ll break through a path. Please escape in the meantime!”
“Forget it! Escape my ass! I’ll kill all these bastards right here and walk out proudly! Everyone prepare for battle!”
“If you had stayed still, I would have at least killed you painlessly.”
The Beast Unit Leader’s eyes gleamed as he raised his curved blade.
The Beast Unit members, twice their number, all prepared for battle.
Ma Doil stood back-to-back with his close associates, forming a circle.
Their weapons were spears, without question. They were specialized not just for attack but for defense.
“Come at me! I’ll turn the first ones who come into skewers!”
“Hehe. If you can do it, then try.”
The Beast Unit Leader said this while signaling to his subordinates.
It was a signal to attack all at once along with his assault.
And at that critical moment.
“Hahahaha!”
Swoooosh!
From somewhere came loud laughter along with a massive slashing strike.
“What!?”
The Beast Unit Leader’s eyes widened as he saw his allies who had been manning one side of the encirclement get cut down and killed.
But he couldn’t help but be flustered.
Because only one person had charged into the battlefield.
A giant covered in wounds all over his body. If there was one distinguishing feature, it would be the bright light shining from the Demon-Slaying Blade he was holding.
“Asura Demon-Slaying Blade Ho Young!”
Naturally, the Beast Unit Leader knew his identity.
Information about the Four Great Protectors who defended Seonghwa Sect was already well known among the Blood Heaven Cult Members.
And his appearance meant…
“How dare you cause such trouble in our front yard. Are you crazy with a death wish?”
A man in fluttering black robes appeared with a chilling voice.
He was sharp like a well-forged sword, yet radiated fierce aura like flames.
The Beast Unit Leader could instantly recognize his identity.
“Seonghwa Gate Master…!”
Namgung Hyeok chuckled upon hearing his muttering.
“That’s right. It’s me.”
Shing.
He drew the Heaven-Piercing Sword from his waist and spoke.
“Since you’ve come this far, you must be prepared to die, right?”
“…!”
Fear filled the eyes of the Beast Unit warriors who had been so confident.
* * *
When Namgung Hyeok arrived, the one who reacted most intensely was Ma Doil.
“Seonghwa Gate Master! I believed you would come!”
He shouted with the feeling of discovering a lifeline before falling into hell.
Namgung Hyeok chuckled and asked him.
“How did you end up in such a state?”
“Seven Death Blade got me. That damned cult bastard incited the underlings…”
“Roughly as I expected. I’ll hear the details later.”
Namgung Hyeok nodded and turned his head toward the tense Beast Unit Leader.
The aura emanating from him was not inferior at all to the Yellow Sword Demon Unit they had encountered during the bandit subjugation.
The number of his subordinates also seemed greater.
However.
‘Even so, they’re not at a level to handle Ho Young and me.’
And here there were thirty elites, Ma Doil, and the close associates who had followed him. That meant it was definitely manageable.
Having thought that far, Namgung Hyeok swung his Heaven-Piercing Sword.
“Everyone attack. Don’t leave a single one alive.”
“We receive your command!”
Resounding voices echoed as the thirty elites charged toward the Beast Unit.
“Hahahaha!”
Among them, the most spectacular was naturally Ho Young.
Every time he swung his Demon-Slaying Blade, blood and flesh scattered.
His terrifying momentum was like a great tiger, the king of the mountains, rampaging madly.
“Tch!”
The Beast Unit Leader instantly realized they were being overwhelmed.
That meant continuing to fight would result in a dog’s death.
Naturally, he had no intention of just dying.
The Beast Unit Leader tried to use his movement technique to retreat with terrifying momentum, but someone blocked his path.
Swoosh!
“…!”
Clang!
The curved blade held by the Beast Unit Leader blocked Namgung Hyeok’s Heaven-Piercing Sword.
He gritted his teeth and muttered.
“This damn bastard…”
“Did it feel good being the hunter?”
Namgung Hyeok stopped the power struggle and ignited flames on his sword, and scorching heat engulfed the Beast Unit Leader.
Thinking he couldn’t endure this, the Beast Unit Leader retreated and reorganized his stance.
“Now it’s time to become the prey.”
“Shut up!”
The Beast Unit Leader immediately deployed a technique full of killing intent and attacked Namgung Hyeok.
Up, down, left, right. And including both diagonal sides, it was an unavoidable blade technique.
Instead of dodging it, Namgung Hyeok simply swung his sword hard horizontally.
The Flame Sword drew a straight line and shattered all the slashing strikes coming toward him.
Namgung Hyeok then deployed the Flame Dragon Breaking Heaven technique.
Thrust!
Namgung Hyeok’s thrust shot out with terrifying momentum and rushed toward the Beast Unit Leader.
“Kugh!”
The Beast Unit Leader grabbed the back of an ally who was fighting nearby and threw him at Namgung Hyeok instead.
Stab!
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
The member who was stabbed in the chest screamed and died.
Namgung Hyeok frowned.
“I knew it, but you’re a piece of trash.”
“Shut up! That guy also helped me, so he should be happy.”
The Beast Unit Leader lowered his body with beast-like movements and pounced on Namgung Hyeok.
Confusingly chaotic slashing strikes flew in, aiming for Namgung Hyeok’s neck.
Namgung Hyeok calmly blocked each attack while glaring at the Beast Unit Leader.
Chill!
“Kuk!”
At those eyes filled with killing intent, the Beast Unit Leader flinched and retreated.
Namgung Hyeok glared at the Beast Unit Leader and raised his sword.
“Is your resistance over now?”
“Ridiculous… Just because you’re pushing me back a bit now, do you think you have the advantage?”
“Wouldn’t that be the case? You’re more stupid than you look.”
“Shut up! Damn it, I didn’t want to use this…”
The Beast Unit Leader said that and shouted with internal energy.
“Everyone! I permit the use of Small Blood Pills!”
“Small Blood Pills?”
Namgung Hyeok’s eyes narrowed.
But at that moment, the Beast Unit Leader had already taken something from his chest and crunched it down.
That was the moment.
Rumble!
“…!”
The aura flowing from the Beast Unit Leader became more than thirty percent stronger than before.
That wasn’t all.
The eyes of the Beast Unit members who had taken the Small Blood Pills also turned red, and their resistance became much fiercer than before.
They seemed like they had truly become beasts.
“Hmm…”
Namgung Hyeok watched that scene with cold eyes.
The Beast Unit Leader saw Namgung Hyeok and burst into mad laughter.
“Hahahaha! You damned bastard, now that you’ve taken the Small Blood Pill, you’re finished!”
He charged at Namgung Hyeok at a much faster speed than before.
Swiiish!
In an instant, dozens of blood-red slashing strikes obscured Namgung Hyeok’s vision.
Namgung Hyeok formed a Flame Sword Barrier to block them.
However, there were also sharp strikes that pierced through the sword screen.
Clang!
“….”
The two men faced each other for a moment, engaging in a contest of strength.
The Beast Unit Leader was much more excited than before.
He spoke with sharp eyes.
“Now you’re finished….”
“What ridiculous nonsense.”
But that was when it happened.
Rummmble!
Tremendous force erupted from Namgung Hyeok’s body and began pushing back the Beast Unit Leader’s curved blade.
The power rising from his Fire Core had strengthened his body.
“Wh-What!?”
“Did you think the difference between us could be overturned just by taking one suspicious drug of unknown origin?”
Namgung Hyeok said this and released his killing intent.
The Beast Unit Leader’s body froze at the tremendous killing intent that was on a completely different level from before.
He looked at Namgung Hyeok with the feelings of a herbivore facing a predator.
Namgung Hyeok’s eyes gleamed as he spoke to the Beast Unit Leader.
“Know your place, beast.”
Swoosh!
Namgung Hyeok’s Azure Heaven Sword struck away the Beast Unit Leader’s curved blade that had been locked in the contest of strength.
