Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 138
“What is that bastard….”
Thunk!
Before he could even finish speaking.
A thick arrow lodged itself between the Blood Heaven Cult executive’s brows.
The executive fell backward, taking the full destructive force.
The subordinates who came with him wore blank expressions for a moment.
They couldn’t understand what had just happened.
But that was only for a moment.
“It’s, it’s a trap!”
They turned pale as sheets and drew their weapons.
But they realized it too late.
Namgung Hyeok’s warriors had already taken position behind them.
What followed was merciless slaughter.
Slash!
“Kugh!”
“Urgh!”
The Blood Heaven Cultists who had their vital points cut collapsed to the ground with death throes.
Lee Cheolgun and Ma Doil, who had cut down those Blood Heaven Cultists, grinned wickedly.
“Let’s move to the next location.”
Namgung Hyeok said this and swiftly deployed his movement technique.
Arriving at a somewhat distant location, he once again set off a signal flare.
Bang!
Then, just like before, a group of enemies approached.
The result was the same.
If there was one difference, it was that this time two groups came instead of one?
“These, these bastards!”
“Kill them!”
They were enraged at being caught in a trap and charged toward Namgung Hyeok’s group.
Namgung Hyeok drew the Azure Heaven Sword and channeled Sacred Fire.
Scorching heat burned in all directions, severing the necks of the Blood Heaven Cultists.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Meanwhile, So Yeon’s arrows, which had been hiding continuously, supported them.
Soon their surroundings were filled with corpses.
“Over here!”
“Those bastards are in this place!”
But perhaps because they had spent too much time in one location, other Blood Heaven Cult troops began gathering as well.
Namgung Hyeok’s group didn’t give them time to unite and continuously launched attacks.
The enemies were wiped out as fast as they came, unable to group together at all.
“Those monster-like bastards…!”
A dying Blood Heaven Cult follower muttered with a resentful expression.
Swoosh!
Namgung Hyeok responded by cutting off the enemy’s breath.
Then he spread his energy sensing wide and confirmed that forces twice as large as the current ones were approaching from all directions.
‘At this rate, it wouldn’t be strange if the enemy’s main force comes.’
That meant the group consisting of Jeon Wook, Son Hyang, and the Sword Empress could escape safely.
If he drew all the enemies’ attention here, there would be fewer personnel who could discover them.
And above all.
“Ho.”
Among the busily moving enemies, he felt a tremendous presence.
Probably someone who could be called the enemy’s real fighting power had come.
Namgung Hyeok launched a slashing strike toward that location.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwang!
A slashing strike filled with terrifying fire energy swept through all directions.
However, it was blocked midway and disappeared.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze focused on that spot.
“Impressive.”
What stood there was a man with a tremendous build.
Wearing gauntlets on both hands, he emanated an intimidating presence like a standing bear.
“Terrifying power that’s unthinkable for someone of that age. So you’re truly the master of the New Sacred Fire Gate?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m called Dongbang Son. I’m in charge of the Six Death Paths of Blood Heaven Cult.”
“I see. So you’re the leader of this group?”
“Hehe.”
Dongbang Son didn’t deny it and smiled meaningfully.
“Seeing that the Sword Empress isn’t here, you’ve made yourself the bait. But sacrificing yourself to let the Sword Empress escape is a bit unexpected.”
“You’re misunderstanding something.”
“Hmm?”
“It’s true we deployed two-faced tactics. But I don’t have even the slightest intention of sacrificing myself.”
“Haha! Then you think you can break through this crowd and escape with just that few people?”
“It’s not impossible. After all, most of them are just small fry who aren’t even real fighting power, right?”
Namgung Hyeok said with a sneer.
At this, the Blood Heaven Cult warriors who were listening ground their teeth. They were enraged at being called small fry.
“How confident of you.”
Dongbang Son’s eyes gleamed sharply.
Though he was smiling leisurely, his mind was still working in complex ways.
‘He certainly has the power to back up such big words.’
The enemy numbered only four people.
But each and every one of them seemed to be masters who had reached the Harmony Realm.
Even Ma Doil, who was at the weakest level, was strong enough to claim ownership of an entire sect.
‘Moreover, that archer who snipes from unseen places. That one is definitely troublesome.’
Of course, arrows weren’t infinite, but archers who had reached such a level could use projectile energy even without arrows.
In any case, the fact that they remained threatening was unchanged.
‘Being able to push through with numbers is only effective at first. If our army’s losses grow large, the men below will lose their fighting spirit and try to flee.’
Then the advantage in military strength would become useless.
In other words, he had to fight while bearing the disadvantage of needing to settle things as quickly as possible.
However…
“Perfect.”
Dongbang Son spoke with a sinister smile.
“Blood Bear Squad, listen.”
“Yes.”
“Keep the former Evil Path Alliance Leader Lee Cheolgun occupied while I kill the Seonghwa Gate Master.”
“We receive your command.”
“The rest of the troops will attack that spearman over there and the hidden archer. Push through with numbers and don’t let the enemies rest.”
“Yes!”
Thunderous voices echoed throughout.
Dongbang Son clapped both fists together with all his might.
Kugugugugung!
Then tremendous power burst forth from his fists and swept in all directions.
As if that was the signal, the Blood Bear Squad and Blood Heaven Cult members rushed toward their respective enemies.
Namgung Hyeok glanced at that scene and asked.
“You’re going to face me alone?”
“Hehe. Did you think I’d need help from others to catch a greenhorn like you?”
“Your confidence is excessive.”
“The Sword Empress said something similar. Before she nearly died getting beaten by my fists!”
Bang!
At that moment, Dongbang Son stomped the ground with all his strength and charged forward.
Blood-colored gang qi gathered in both his hands.
He swung his fists while laughing like a madman.
“Hahahahahat!”
Bwoong!
The fist he thrust out was like an iron mace that filled his entire field of vision.
Namgung Hyeok immediately deployed the Fire Dragon Ascending Heaven technique.
Zzzzzzak!
The Blood Bear and Fire Dragon clashed, creating a tremendous shockwave.
“Keuuk!”
“Get away from here!”
“If you stay nearby, you’ll get caught up in it!”
The Blood Heaven Cultists who indirectly experienced that shockwave fled in terror to a distance.
Now only they remained in the center of the battlefield.
“Ahahahaha!”
Dongbang Son continuously unleashed attacks without stopping.
Namgung Hyeok raised his Azure Heaven Sword to block one attack.
He felt the hand gripping his sword tear open as blood trickled down.
‘What terrifying power.’
The saying about crushing rocks with a single punch would be perfectly fitting for him.
Namgung Hyeok instinctively knew.
Taking even one direct hit from that would be dangerous.
‘I’d be lucky if it only ended with broken bones.’
If things went wrong, it could even lead to death.
Namgung Hyeok continuously deflected the incoming attacks.
“Haha! What’s wrong? Where did that confidence from earlier go? You’re only defending!”
Dongbang Son swung his fists relentlessly as if he didn’t want to lose the momentum he had gained, and his lightning-like curved punches struck the Azure Heaven Sword several times.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
‘Quite a famous sword.’
An ordinary sword would have already cracked and shattered by now.
Dongbang Son took a deep breath and drew up more of his Gang Qi, as blood-red energy writhed fiercely, forming the shape of an evil spirit.
Dongbang Son pretended to retreat once, then thrust both fists forward powerfully.
The energy condensed within them exploded outward.
Kwakwakwakwang!
“…!”
Namgung Hyeok’s body, who had swung his sword to block it, was lifted off the ground and pushed back several steps.
“Ptui.”
Namgung Hyeok spat out the blood that rose from within while looking at Dongbang Son.
Dongbang Son grinned and took his stance again.
“Not bad. I didn’t expect you to withstand that.”
“Quite heavy indeed. You certainly deserve to have inflicted internal injuries on the Sword Empress.”
“Kekek. Still pretending to have composure? Don’t you actually want to run away right now?”
“Well. It still seems a bit lacking. But at least I understand what level of power these so-called apostles of Blood Heaven Cult possess.”
Namgung Hyeok said this and drew up the energy of his Fire Essence.
“Let’s end the probing here.”
Whoosh!
Flames erupted from Namgung Hyeok’s entire body.
It was as if he had become one with the Sacred Fire.
Namgung Hyeok, who had been sharply glaring at his opponent, took a ready stance.
Whoosh!
In that moment, he kicked off the ground hard with his heel and charged forward.
It was Flame Dragon Breaking Heaven, the first technique form of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword.
Dongbang Son grinned wickedly and tried to defend against it, but.
A chill!
“…!”
The sudden cold sensation that struck him stopped that action.
Instead of immediately defending, he twisted his body with all his might.
Whoosh!
Intense flames burst out from where Dongbang Son had been just moments before.
‘That was dangerous!’
With that level of fire power, it would have pierced through his Body Protection Qi and caused internal injuries.
He immediately turned his body to swing his fist, but.
“I think I’ve seen enough now.”
Clang clang clang clang!
What followed was Namgung Hyeok’s Fire Dance Chain.
The freely bending sword rushed from multiple trajectories, targeting Dongbang Son’s vital points.
“Not a chance!”
Dongbang Son let out an angry roar and deflected all the incoming attacks.
His eyes gleamed like a beast’s as the form of a blood bear rose simultaneously.
An oppressive feeling that seemed ready to tear apart his opponent at any moment spread in all directions.
Dongbang Son grinned wickedly and raised his fist.
But that was the moment.
“Hup.”
Namgung Hyeok took a short breath and half-opened his eyes.
Whoooosh!
Flames of an incomparable level to what had come before burst forth.
The Sacred Fire that rose up like that emitted intense light and burned away Dongbang Son’s demonic energy.
“What!?”
Dongbang Son’s eyes widened.
Until now, his Blood Bear Energy and the Sacred Fire Energy had maintained an antagonistic state. In other words, neither side had been able to gain the upper hand.
But now it was different.
The suddenly enlarged Sacred Fire was devouring the Blood Bear Energy.
At this rate, all of his internal energy might burn away to nothing.
“Hraaaaaaah!”
Therefore, Dongbang Son moved.
Rather than accept this loss, he decided to settle the fight with one strike.
Rumble!
A sound like thunder echoed as blood-colored Gang Qi gathered in his fist.
Dongbang Son took a powerful True Step forward and thrust out a single punch with all his strength.
Crash crash crash boom!
A force like a landslide struck down upon Namgung Hyeok.
Namgung Hyeok instinctively knew he couldn’t avoid this. If he tried to dodge clumsily, he would be crushed and pulverized by that blood-colored Gang Qi.
‘Then!’
Namgung Hyeok made no attempt to dodge.
He simply took a deep breath and raised the Azure Heaven Sword upward. The Sacred Fire that had grown by devouring the Blood Bear Energy swirled around it like a whirlwind.
Soon.
Whoooooosh!
As the sword struck down diagonally, flames imbued with the energy of Demon Breaking burst forth.
The Sacred Fire that spread out greedily devoured the blood-colored Gang Qi.
Thus unfolding the final technique form of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword.
Sacred Fire Infinite.
The sword of purifying fire that burns all evil shattered Dongbang Son’s gauntlets.
