Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 150
“Ho Young’s younger sister.”
Namgung Hyeok’s eyes sharpened.
“I can roughly guess what happened.”
“You can guess? Please, won’t you tell me?”
“The Sichuan Tang Family wouldn’t have wanted to let go of Ho Seon-ah, who inherited the medical robes of the Tang Family Divine Physician. So they must have captured her and confined her to Tang Family Village.”
“Confined? That’s absurd. We were merely protecting her from other forces who covet the divine physician’s medical arts.”
“Either way, you prevented her from taking even a single step out of Tang Family Village. And Ho Young’s sister would have asked Ho Young for help. What happened next is…”
Namgung Hyeok looked around his surroundings.
“This is how it turned out. Ho Young escaped Tang Family Village with his sister, and you all pursued him. I think that’s the most likely scenario.”
“You could say that’s roughly correct.”
Dang Jihyeok nodded and said.
“If your sect’s First Law Protector had politely requested her custody, we wouldn’t have gone this far. But he injured the Main Family House’s retainers in the process of escaping Tang Family Village.”
“How ridiculous. You must have tried to forcibly stop him from leaving in the first place. Using martial force, no less.”
The Ho Young that Namgung Hyeok knew was never someone who acted rashly.
Such a person injured those who were just standing by and escaped Tang Family Village?
‘What nonsense.’
That could never happen. Namgung Hyeok trusted Ho Young that much.
“Whatever the reason may be, it’s a fact that your sect’s First Law Protector injured our Main House’s retainers and kidnapped a member of our Main House!”
Dang Jihyeok spoke in a somewhat harsh tone.
Namgung Hyeok sent a sharp gaze toward Dang Jihyeok.
“…!”
Dang Jihyeok flinched.
He felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
It felt like being prey facing a predator.
But that was only momentary, as Dang Jihyeok raised his aura to escape the pressure and said.
“Are you threatening me right now?”
“Threatening? People might misunderstand if they heard that.”
Namgung Hyeok chuckled.
“I was merely considering whether your words were reasonable.”
“Then you must also realize that my words are correct.”
“Sorry, but that’s not the case. I haven’t heard Ho Young’s side of the story yet, have I?”
“What do you mean…!”
“I’m saying I won’t judge the situation based on hearing only one side’s opinion. Moreover, you’ve joined hands with the Black Dragon Society, haven’t you?”
“…!”
“Whatever the reason, I cannot trust the words of those who’ve joined hands with dark path scoundrels. Especially when those dark path members are enemies of the Sacred Fire Gate.”
Namgung Hyeok glared at Yeom Cheon with cold eyes.
He could see Yeom Cheon and the other Black Dragon Society warriors flinch.
They couldn’t withstand Namgung Hyeok’s sharp aura.
“Anyway, we’ll search for Ho Young in our own way. We’ll settle the matter of right and wrong after that. If it turns out that Ho Young is greatly at fault, then we’ll provide appropriate compensation. Well then, farewell.”
Namgung Hyeok said this and entered the mountain interior thick with bushes.
It seemed he intended to run around directly searching for Ho Young.
“Namgung Hyeok, this damn bastard…!”
After Namgung Hyeok disappeared, Dang Jihyeok ground his teeth and vented his anger.
He watched the spot where Namgung Hyeok had left with eyes filled with killing intent.
Yeom Cheon, who was watching this scene, asked quietly.
“What will you do now?”
“What will I do, you ask?”
“If the Seonghwa Gate Master discovers the Asura Demon-Slaying Blade first, we’ll have no choice but to hand over both him and that woman.”
“Not a chance! That absolutely cannot happen!”
Dang Jihyeok shouted angrily.
“We cannot hand her over.”
If Ho Seon-ah were an ordinary woman, it might be different.
But she was a precious asset of the Tang Family who had inherited the Tang Family’s secret medical arts.
Moreover…
‘If Ho Seon-ah goes outside, the fact that the Main House is creating corpse poison users might be discovered.’
In fact, this was the biggest reason.
If not for this reason, the Sichuan Dang Family wouldn’t have been so obsessed with Ho Seon-ah either.
Rather, considering their relationship with the Seonghwa Sect, they would have gladly handed her over.
But Ho Seon-ah was someone who knew the fact that the Tang Family was creating corpse poison users.
Corpse poison users.
They were poison users created through inhumane methods forbidden in Murim.
Their ability was not only immunity to all poisons but also the capacity to accumulate powerful corpse poison within their bodies.
However, there was the drawback that corpses were essential in the creation process.
So if this fact became known, there was no telling what kind of condemnation would pour down on the Tang Family.
‘That’s why we even mobilized the Black Dragon Society to chase the Asura Demon-Slaying Blade…!’
Unexpectedly, his martial power was strong, so they couldn’t capture him in time.
But what if he joined up with the Seonghwa Gate Master?
‘We’d have no choice but to hand over Ho Seon-ah as is.’
If that happened, the Tang Family would be finished.
Even if the secret wasn’t immediately exposed, it would mean having their weakness seized by the Seonghwa Sect.
‘That cannot happen!’
As a direct descendant of the Tang Family, Dang Jihyeok couldn’t bear to see such a sight.
Finally, he made his decision.
“Dang Ho.”
“Yes, Elder Brother.”
“Contact the First Elder who is on standby. Tell him we need the Green Snake Unit.”
“…!”
The Green Snake Unit was the first-class military force of the Sichuan Dang Family dispatched to this place.
Each member was an outstanding combat unit composed of first-rate or higher warriors.
But the fact that such a military force was needed meant…
“Are you planning to strike the Seonghwa Gate Master?”
“Hmph. That’s right.”
Dang Jihyeok’s expression turned cold.
“The dead tell no tales, after all.”
* * *
A short while later.
Namgung Hyeok was walking along the mountain path behind Jiulong County with his companions.
“Are you really sure this is alright?”
Baek Hyeon, who was with him, spoke with a worried expression.
The question of whether it was alright naturally referred to the matter concerning Dang Jihyeok.
From Baek Hyeon’s perspective, it seemed like he had provoked him too much.
“There’s no problem. I only spoke the truth, didn’t I?”
He had merely said that he wouldn’t listen to just one side and would also hear the opposing opinion.
Moreover, he had also conveyed that if their side was more at fault, he would provide compensation.
That statement meant he would show a certain degree of respect for the other party.
This level of consideration was more than sufficient.
If it had been only members of the Black Dragon Society, he wouldn’t have approached it this way.
‘Well, this is just my thinking, and they might have interpreted it differently.’
If that happened, he would just think about it when the time came.
Instead, Namgung Hyeok released his aura in all directions.
The companions walking beside him looked at him with surprised expressions.
Their expressions seemed to ask what he was doing.
“If we want to meet Ho Young, this will be faster. As you can see, isn’t this mountain too large for us to search through each peak one by one?”
“That’s true.”
“So I’m releasing my energy to make him come to us. That way, we won’t need to suffer on this end.”
“That certainly makes sense.”
Baek Hyeon nodded in understanding after hearing Namgung Hyeok’s explanation.
Apart from Namgung Hyeok releasing his energy, he suppressed his own aura as much as possible.
He was concerned it might interfere with Ho Young finding them.
The two special forces members under So Yeon’s command who had followed Namgung Hyeok, as well as Wang Pyeong, did the same.
How much time had passed like this?
“Hmm. It seems some unexpected fellows took the bait.”
Namgung Hyeok narrowed his eyes and looked somewhere.
After a brief moment.
Swoosh!
From that location, the Black Dragon Society members they had seen earlier could be seen leaping out.
Their numbers were around a hundred, far more than before.
They had clearly called for reinforcements from nearby.
Namgung Hyeok looked at Yeom Cheon at their head and asked in a cold tone.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“….”
“Should I take this show of force as your intention to attack us?”
No, even if that wasn’t their intention, Namgung Hyeok knew what he had to do.
Sring.
He drew the Azure Heaven Sword with a sharp sound.
Then Yeom Cheon, who was leading the Black Dragon Society warriors, let out a scoff.
“Trying to fight right away? Isn’t your confidence a bit excessive?”
“You’re the ones who came here looking for a fight.”
“Can’t you see our numbers? No matter how strong you are, five of you can easily be….”
Yeom Cheon’s words were cut short.
Swish!
A sharp slashing strike cut down one of the warriors beside him.
Thud!
The Black Dragon Society warrior fell without even letting out a scream.
“This…!”
Yeom Cheon was splattered with blood and trembled for a moment.
Soon, consumed by rage, he raised his axe and shouted.
“Kill him! Quickly!”
“Waaaaaaah!”
About a hundred equally enraged warriors charged at the group.
Namgung Hyeok raised the Azure Heaven Sword at their very front.
Whoosh!
Sacred Fire erupted simultaneously.
He brought it down in one stroke.
The Falling Flowers Fill the Sky with Red technique unfolded, and about ten warriors who had approached fastest fell.
“What kind of monster!”
“Elder Brother. I trust you can at least protect yourself.”
But leaving the shocked Yeom Cheon behind, Namgung Hyeok simply spoke calmly.
When Yeom Cheon nodded, he turned to look at the three people behind him.
“You should also fight defensively rather than taking the offensive. If my thinking is correct, these enemies aren’t the end of it.”
“If these guys aren’t the end of it… don’t tell me!?”
“Right. That ‘don’t tell me’ is probably correct. The Tang Family will also come charging at us.”
He had just learned that the Sichuan Tang Family and Black Dragon Society had joined hands.
But for the Black Dragon Society to launch such a large-scale attack…
That must be the Tang Family’s will.
“So you need to conserve your strength. I’ll handle these guys, so preserve your stamina as much as possible.”
Namgung Hyeok said this and suddenly stepped forward with True Step in a surprise attack.
Swish swish swish!
Sharp blade winds arose and the three enemies who had been approaching lost their lives.
He grinned and began to consecutively unfold the technique forms of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword.
Was it because each one was advanced swordsmanship created with one against many in mind?
The Black Dragon Society warriors charged targeting only Namgung Hyeok, but they couldn’t even get close to him.
They would simply be mercilessly cut down if they got close, becoming chunks of meat that couldn’t even stay alive.
“Th-this is insane…”
Yeom Cheon couldn’t help but tremble at the sight.
He had long known that Namgung Hyeok was strong.
Even setting aside the rumors, you could tell just by looking.
But he never imagined he would overwhelmingly crush the Black Dragon Society warriors to this extent.
At this rate, they might be completely annihilated.
He couldn’t let it continue like this. He had to stop it somehow.
“Haaaah!”
So Yeom Cheon grabbed his axe and charged at Namgung Hyeok.
Power flowed into the massive axe as tall as a person, and it rushed toward Namgung Hyeok with terrifying aura.
A powerful strike that could split most people in half.
But Namgung Hyeok calmly blocked it.
Kwaang!
With a tremendous sound, the shockwave created by the collision of the Azure Heaven Sword and axe spread widely.
And then immediately.
“It’s over.”
Namgung Hyeok who said this thrust his sword.
Swish!
Yeom Cheon’s chest was cut and blood spurted out.
