Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 124

 

 

 

 

 

Just hearing those words sent chills down one’s spine.

 

Eulcheon frowned as he observed the reactions of his allied forces.

 

Everyone seemed overwhelmed by Namgung Hyeok’s aura, not knowing what to do.

 

‘This isn’t good.’

 

At this rate, everything would be blocked by Namgung Hyeok alone before they could even attempt anything.

 

So he needed to kill him as quickly as possible.

 

Eulcheon had no choice but to deploy the elite forces of the Heavenly Demon Sect that came with him.

 

“Attack!”

 

With his shout, five warriors leaped forward.

 

Charging from different directions, they unleashed killing intent-filled slashing strikes at Namgung Hyeok.

 

“Ha.”

 

Namgung Hyeok let out a light snort as he swung his Heaven-Piercing Sword.

 

Whoosh!

 

As flames erupted, a wall of fire appeared before the five warriors.

 

Unable to overcome that fiercely burning barrier, they had to retreat.

 

“Is it my turn now?”

 

Saying this, Namgung Hyeok charged forward.

 

Bursting forth with fierce momentum, he swung his sword.

 

Along with it, the chest of the warrior at the front split open with a ripping sound.

 

“Kraaaah!”

 

The warrior staggered back with a painful scream.

 

Namgung Hyeok paid no heed and continued unleashing slashing strikes.

 

This time, the neck of a warrior who stepped forward to protect his injured comrade was cleanly severed.

 

“Don’t cluster together! Spread out and engage him!”

 

Eulcheon shouted as he commanded his forces.

 

This time, about twenty people rushed in at once.

 

Each taking different positions, it seemed they would surely be able to thrust their blades into Namgung Hyeok’s vital points.

 

Boom!

 

But it was a miscalculation.

 

Namgung Hyeok immediately stepped with True Step and released an energy wave.

 

Tremendous force burst out in all directions, sending the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples flying.

 

“What!”

 

Eulcheon cried out in surprise.

 

But it didn’t end there, as what followed was the Flame Prison Heaven Wheel technique.

 

The semicircle drawn by the sideways blade rotated like a wheel.

 

The rotating wheel of flames tore apart about ten enemies blocking the front.

 

Even those behind unconsciously retreated at that overwhelming display.

 

“Monster-like bastard…”

 

“Thanks for the compliment.”

 

Namgung Hyeok soon raised his Heaven-Piercing Sword again.

 

Rumble!

 

It was the Emperor Sword Form technique that pressed down on the surroundings.

 

With the power of Sacred Fire added to it, Eulcheon felt as if a blazing sun was crushing down on him.

 

“Uaaaaaaah!”

 

He drew up his internal energy to somehow resist the power of the Emperor Sword Form and threw hidden weapons.

 

Normally, hidden weapons could be deflected with just Body Protection Qi, but…

 

‘He’s quite skilled.’

 

Eulcheon’s ability in throwing them was no ordinary matter.

 

In the end, Namgung Hyeok stopped his downward sword strike and deflected the hidden weapons.

 

Simultaneously, the oppressive feeling from the Emperor Sword Form disappeared.

 

Regaining his composure, Eulcheon commanded his subordinates.

 

“I’ll hold this bastard back, so watch for your chance! Black Dragon Society warriors, advance inside and sweep away the Seonghwa Sect bastards!”

 

“Waaaaaaah!”

 

Seeing this, the enemy side erupted in cheers as if they had gained some courage.

 

Namgung Hyeok chuckled and continuously swung his Flame Sword.

 

Clang clang clang clang!

 

Several exchanges occurred in an instant.

 

Eulcheon frowned at this.

 

His wrists were already numb and his palms hurt as if torn.

 

If they clashed several more times like this, he might drop his sword.

 

‘What kind of monster is this?’

 

Since Jiangsu Province wasn’t a target of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he didn’t know much about Namgung Hyeok.

 

But facing him directly like this, he was frighteningly strong.

 

‘At this rate, I might lose.’

 

But that couldn’t happen.

 

If he was defeated here, the Black Dragon Society would be handed over just like that.

 

So Eulcheon exerted all his strength, trying somehow to land an effective hit on Namgung Hyeok.

 

“Die!”

 

With Eulcheon’s shout, an eerie energy flew toward Namgung Hyeok’s neck.

 

His demonic arts unfolded, showing off their presence.

 

But Namgung Hyeok only snorted and ignited Sacred Fire.

 

Boom!

 

“Ugh!”

 

Eulcheon let out a pained groan.

 

Sacred Fire was holy flames that purified and burned all evil things.

 

So it had an overwhelming advantage against demonic arts.

 

Demonic arts below a certain level would be shattered just by colliding with Sacred Fire.

 

“Now!”

 

But Eulcheon wasn’t a fool either.

 

He somehow sent a signal to his subordinates while engaged in the power struggle.

 

With that, the Heavenly Demon Sect members charged forward with a rush!

 

Namgung Hyeok didn’t bother blocking them and retreated to avoid their attacks.

 

At the same time, he extended one hand and unleashed a Single Palm strike.

 

Thud!

 

With a tremendous sound, one Heavenly Demon Sect member was sent flying with crushed bones.

 

His body was even burned from the Extreme Yang heat.

 

The member who flew away never got up again.

 

“Bastard!”

 

The other members paid no heed to their ally’s death and launched another attack.

 

Fire Dance Chain.

 

The Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword technique unfolded as the Flame Sword cut through the air.

 

Having cut down everyone who came at him, Namgung Hyeok now concentrated flames on his legs.

 

Boom!

 

Using the explosive force of Sacred Fire as propulsion, he flew forward and struck with all his might.

 

Flame Dragon Breaking Heaven.

 

A powerful thrust reminiscent of a dragon with its mouth wide open rushed toward Eulcheon.

 

Thwack!

 

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

 

Eulcheon, whose shoulder had been pierced through, howled in agony.

 

But Namgung Hyeok showed no mercy.

 

He twisted his sword to tear open the wound while igniting his Sacred Fire. The blazing Sacred Fire engulfed Eulcheon’s entire body.

 

“Kuhuk….”

 

Finally, Eulcheon collapsed, his body blackened and emitting smoke.

 

Namgung Hyeok pulled his sword from him.

 

‘He was quite skilled.’

 

Though he had achieved complete victory, Eulcheon was certainly someone who could be called a formidable opponent.

 

Was his misfortune simply that his opponent happened to be himself?

 

This wasn’t arrogance or anything of the sort.

 

It was literally thanks to his Sacred Fire Divine Art having tremendous compatibility against the demonic arts that Eulcheon had learned.

 

In any case.

 

Slash!

 

“…!”

 

Namgung Hyeok cut down several more Blood Heaven Sect members who were stunned by Eulcheon’s death.

 

Fear appeared on their faces.

 

Their leader Eulcheon was dead, and their numbers had dwindled significantly.

 

As for trusting the Black Dragon Society, who could be called their allies… they had numbers but honestly couldn’t be considered proper fighting force.

 

But since they had already rammed their boats together, there was nowhere to flee. They broke out in cold sweat and retreated.

 

However, Namgung Hyeok had no intention of letting them live and leave.

 

“Disciples of the Seonghwa Sect, listen.”

 

He infused his voice with internal energy and spoke to the disciples who had been engaged in battle.

 

The eyes of the Seonghwa Sect disciples sparkled upon hearing Namgung Hyeok’s voice.

 

“These are worthless beings not worth keeping alive. Annihilate them all.”

 

“…!”

 

With that, the attacks of the Seonghwa Sect disciples became even more fierce.

 

In the end, whether Blood Heaven Sect or Black Dragon Society, they could only desperately struggle to retreat to their boats.

 

But only one boat could retreat. They were ultimately forced to either meet their end on the river or become prisoners.

 

It was truly a perfect subjugation.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

After docking his boat at the port city, he led his forces toward the Black Dragon Society branch as planned.

 

But perhaps because those who had fled from the naval combat had spread word, the place was already completely empty.

 

Setting aside his disappointment, he tried raiding several more locations but….

 

“There’s nothing here.”

 

All the surrounding branches had already been evacuated.

 

Thinking they couldn’t face the subjugation force and Namgung Hyeok with just branch forces, they had fled to their main headquarters.

 

And that main headquarters was in Guizhou and Chongqing.

 

Namgung Hyeok didn’t immediately attack those places but observed the situation.

 

Unlike the branches in Hunan, the enemies near Guizhou and Chongqing were very numerous.

 

In other words, charging in relying only on momentum could lead to disaster.

 

“Well, we’ll only help this far.”

 

“Isn’t this different from our original agreement? You originally agreed to help us subjugate Guizhou as well!”

 

The Chamma Group Leader, who had come as the Martial Alliance’s representative, threw a tantrum.

 

But he soon had to stop his grumbling.

 

Because Namgung Hyeok’s gaze toward him was quite chilling.

 

“The situation in Guizhou now is different from when we first made our agreement. Moreover, the damage we inflicted on the enemies in this battle was considerable. As an ally, I think we’ve done plenty.”

 

“Uh, umm….”

 

“After all, your goal was also to reduce the Black Dragon Society’s forces, not to expand territory, right? Thinking of it that way, we’ve achieved sufficiently successful results.”

 

“But how will the Alliance Leader react….”

 

“I’ll write to him directly and ask.”

 

Namgung Hyeok actually wrote a letter immediately and sent it toward the Martial Alliance’s main headquarters.

 

Since it was sent via messenger pigeon, a reply came shortly after.

 

It was a reply saying they didn’t need to advance further.

 

“Of course, we have our honor, so we won’t retreat immediately. After all, if the Seonghwa Sect withdraws its forces, a counterattack will come right away.”

 

“Wh-what do you mean?”

 

“We’ll stay here together and observe the situation for a while. That should be sufficient help, right?”

 

“Of course! If you stay with us, it will be a great help.”

 

The Chamma Group Leader smiled brightly and praised Namgung Hyeok’s decision.

 

In truth, he had been afraid of being left alone.

 

But knowing that Namgung Hyeok and his unit, who had shown overwhelming power in the Dongting Lake battle, would stay with them made him feel reassured.

 

“Haha. Then we should first decide where to stay.”

 

“Don’t worry about that. I know someone in Changsha City.”

 

“Is that really true?”

 

“It’s true. Have you ever heard of the Seomun Noble House?”

 

At the mention of the Seomun Noble House, the Chamma Group Leader’s eyes widened.

 

Though they weren’t among the Ten Great Noble Houses, they were a powerful family with influence and strength no less than them.

 

But it was unexpected that Namgung Hyeok knew someone there.

 

“Follow me. They’ll receive us.”

 

Namgung Hyeok said this and guided the group to the Seomun Noble House in Changsha City.

 

But even before they arrived, someone from the Seomun Noble House had come out to greet them.

 

“Great General! It’s been a long time!”

 

“Yes. It has been a long time, Gi.”

 

The one who appeared was Seomun Gi, a direct descendant of the Seomun Noble House.

 

After enjoying a brief reunion with Namgung Hyeok, he greeted the Chamma Group Leader.

 

“Nice to meet you, Chamma Group Leader. I am Seomun Gi of the Seomun Noble House. You must be tired from subjugating the Black Dragon Society, so please come inside and rest.”

 

“Is, is it really alright? We’re a large group of over five hundred people….”

 

“If it’s a request from our Great General, this much is nothing. Haha, please come inside.”

 

The Chamma Group Leader looked at Namgung Hyeok with a bewildered expression at Seomun Gi’s overly generous attitude.

 

Namgung Hyeok answered as if it were nothing special.

 

“Seomun Gi and I are comrades who fought together on the battlefield. He’s someone you can trust, so don’t worry too much.”

 

“If you say so….”

 

The Chamma Group Leader showed a relieved expression.

 

But then, Seomun Gi, who had been walking ahead, spoke to Namgung Hyeok.

 

“By the way, Great General. Grandfather would like to see you. Would that be alright?”

 

“Yes. Since I’ve come as a guest, it would be proper to greet the host.”

 

Namgung Hyeok readily nodded.

 

But the Chamma Group Leader, who had been listening to this conversation, gulped.

 

Because he knew.

 

Seomun Gi’s grandfather was none other than….

 

‘Falling Sun Sword Emperor Seomun Ho.’

 

He was one of the Ten Greatest Masters Under Heaven.
