Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 152

 

“…!”

 

Dang Jihyeok couldn’t help but be flustered.

 

‘How does he know?’

 

The Corpse Blood Poison People were special beings created through secret methods.

 

Even within the Tang Family, only a very few knew about them.

 

Yet for Namgung Hyeok, an outsider, to recognize the Corpse Blood Poison People was shocking.

 

He wanted to ask how he had figured it out.

 

“Seeing that you can’t answer, I must be right.”

 

Namgung Hyeok sneered at that sight.

 

There was a reason he was so confident.

 

‘The Sacred Fire reacted to the corpse poison.’

 

The Sacred Fire that Namgung Hyeok possessed was a flame with the power of purification that burned all evil and wicked things.

 

Naturally, it was the nemesis of things like poison, evil energy, and demonic energy.

 

Therefore, the Sacred Fire reacted sensitively to such energies.

 

Even now, it could immediately recognize the corpse poison sleeping within their bodies.

 

‘And there’s only one type of being that uses corpse poison.’

 

Corpse Blood Poison People.

 

Originally, they were monsters created by the Blood Heaven Cult.

 

Of course, Namgung Hyeok himself had only encountered them through records…

 

But since their characteristics matched, he was certain his opponents were Corpse Blood Poison People.

 

And at the same time, he thought he knew what shameful secret the Sichuan Tang Family wanted to hide.

 

“You didn’t want to be caught creating Corpse Blood Poison People, right? Since you’re using the inhumane legacy of the Blood Heaven Cult.”

 

“Shut up!”

 

“It seems Ho Young’s younger sister knew about this. That makes sense when I think about it.”

 

“Blood Demon Corps. Kill him!”

 

Instead of answering, Dang Jihyeok gave an order.

 

Swoosh!

 

Soon the Blood Demon Corps members with cold expressions extended their fingernails and unleashed their claw techniques.

 

Their tips were coated with deadly poison that would cause immediate poisoning upon contact.

 

It was the corpse poison unique to Corpse Blood Poison People.

 

Normally, one would have to fight very carefully against such things…

 

“Ridiculous.”

 

Whoosh!

 

It didn’t work on Namgung Hyeok.

 

“!?”

 

The Corpse Blood Poison People showed shocked expressions as they realized their corpse poison was rapidly evaporating and disappearing.

 

The Sacred Fire emanating from Namgung Hyeok’s body had eliminated their poison.

 

“If they can’t properly use corpse poison, Corpse Blood Poison People are just warriors who are slightly tougher than normal.”

 

No, rather, their martial arts skills would be similar to or even inferior to pure Green Snake Corps members.

 

Certainly, since they put all their effort into strengthening their bodies with poison, their techniques in other areas would be lacking.

 

Realizing this, the Corpse Blood Poison People joined hands and hastily shot out liquid-form corpse poison.

 

Hissss!

 

The deadly poison rushed toward Namgung Hyeok, but it evaporated as soon as it touched his vicinity.

 

It had no effect whatsoever.

 

“This can’t be…”

 

Dang Jihyeok opened his mouth in shock.

 

Not only had their identity been exposed, but who could have imagined such terrible compatibility?

 

He truly couldn’t have imagined it.

 

But Namgung Hyeok showed no mercy.

 

He immediately raised his Heaven-Piercing Sword and charged toward the Corpse Blood Poison People.

 

Swish swish swish!

 

With a terrifying sound, the heads of three or four Corpse Blood Poison People fell.

 

It happened in an instant.

 

“Blood Demon Corps, fall back! Green Snake Unit! Stop them!”

 

The First Elder, who regained his composure before Dang Jihyeok, shouted at the top of his lungs.

 

The Blood Demon Corps, composed of Corpse Blood Poison People, hastily retreated according to his words.

 

They were the Tang Family’s main fighting force.

 

They couldn’t afford to take heavy losses here.

 

If they died to Namgung Hyeok here, it would truly be a dog’s death.

 

However, the Green Snake Unit was also lukewarm in facing Namgung Hyeok, only throwing hidden weapons from a distance.

 

No matter how they looked at it, he was an enemy they couldn’t defeat.

 

“You damn bastards! What the hell are you doing!”

 

The First Elder stamped his feet and threw a tantrum.

 

He was furious that the Green Snake Unit had ignored his orders.

 

Namgung Hyeok gave such a First Elder a cold smile and once again charged toward Dang Jihyeok.

 

“D-don’t come! Someone stop him!”

 

Even at Dang Jihyeok’s command, no one readily stepped forward.

 

This time, Namgung Hyeok truly raised his Heaven-Piercing Sword blazing with Sacred Fire.

 

He intended to cut down his enemy in one stroke so they couldn’t survive.

 

Whoosh!

 

Then Dang Jihyeok applied poison directly in Namgung Hyeok’s direction.

 

“Let’s see if you can remain unharmed after taking this!”

 

Dang Jihyeok gritted his teeth and shouted.

 

Though his allies were in that direction, he didn’t care at all.

 

What mattered now was somehow stopping Namgung Hyeok’s charge.

 

“How foolish.”

 

“…!”

 

But he soon had no choice but to be shocked.

 

The poison he had scattered simply evaporated and flew away.

 

It was the same principle as the corpse poison the Corpse Blood Poison People had used earlier.

 

The Sacred Fire covering Namgung Hyeok’s body had simply evaporated the poison.

 

“The Main Sect and the Sichuan Tang Family have the worst compatibility. In case you don’t understand, let me clarify – it’s the worst for your side.”

 

“Th-that’s!”

 

“If you want to face me, you’d better try using Hidden Weapon Arts instead of poison. Doesn’t the Sichuan Tang Family usually pride itself on being the ancestor of hidden weapons?”

 

“Kuk!”

 

“Jihyeok! Fall back!”

 

At that moment, dozens of hidden weapons flew through the air and rushed toward Namgung Hyeok.

 

Namgung Hyeok deflected all the attacks aimed at his vital points as if he had been waiting for them.

 

However, they changed direction in mid-air and attacked again, targeting his pressure points.

 

It was truly a hand technique that could be called miraculous.

 

But Namgung Hyeok didn’t panic and calmly stomped his foot.

 

Whoosh!

 

Flames burst forth and shockwaves shook all directions, causing all the flying hidden weapons to be deflected.

 

“Block him! Block him somehow!”

 

Hearing the terrified Dang Jihyeok’s words, the Corpse Blood Poison People who had retreated stepped forward again.

 

They were all people who had hardened and strengthened their bodies through corpse poison.

 

So they were also very familiar with close combat.

 

Dang Jihyeok was trying to create an opportunity for himself to escape through them.

 

But at that moment.

 

“Hahahahahaha!”

 

A loud laughter came from somewhere.

 

Everyone was momentarily overwhelmed by that voice and focused their gaze toward where the sound came from.

 

And from that place, a massive slashing strike of light was bursting forth.

 

Asura Demon-Slaying Blade.

 

First technique form, Blood Wind Slash.

 

Swaaaash!

 

The terrifyingly massive slashing strike ground up the five or six Corpse Blood Poison People who were trying to block Namgung Hyeok’s path.

 

Namgung Hyeok saw this and grinned.

 

“You came. Ho Young.”

 

“Fighting while causing such a commotion, it was impossible not to notice.”

 

Ho Young, who had burst into the battlefield like that, instantly came to Namgung Hyeok’s side and began clearing a path.

 

‘Incredible.’

 

His Asura Demon-Slaying Blade was tyrannical enough to make him think that.

 

Every time light flashed, enemies’ heads flew through the sky.

 

“In that case…”

 

Namgung Hyeok unfolded his movement technique without interference.

 

Kwang! Bang!

 

Each time he stepped forward, small explosions occurred, accelerating his advance.

 

He was soon able to reach Dang Jihyeok.

 

“W-wait! If you kill me, the Tang Family won’t stand for it…!”

 

Slash!

 

But Dang Jihyeok’s words couldn’t finish.

 

Because Namgung Hyeok’s sword had deeply cut his throat.

 

Dang Jihyeok died without even being able to scream.

 

Thud!

 

His body collapsed helplessly like a puppet with severed strings.

 

“Y-young master!”

 

“This can’t be…”

 

Shock arose among the Green Snake Corps members.

 

No matter how much they disliked their superior, a superior was still a superior. But seeing such a person subdued and killed in an instant had a negative impact on their morale.

 

“The Seonghwa Gate Master has killed the enemy commander!”

 

“Push forward!”

 

Meanwhile, Baek Hyeon, Wang Pyeong’s trio, and the Black Dragon Society warriors gritted their teeth and launched fierce attacks. Overwhelmed by their momentum, the Green Snake Corps members had no choice but to retreat miserably.

 

Eventually.

 

“Damn it! Get out of this place!”

 

The First Elder, who was another commander, bit his lips until they bled as he shouted.

 

His eyes were filled with red bloodshot veins.

 

Because the grief of losing his blood relative had washed over him.

 

But even so, he couldn’t end his life here either.

 

What the First Elder ultimately chose was escape.

 

“Where do you think you’re going!”

 

Namgung Hyeok followed behind him as he fled, but couldn’t catch him.

 

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

 

Because a tremendous barrage of hidden weapons and Corpse Blood Poison People throwing their bodies to clear the First Elder’s escape route hindered his advance.

 

No matter how much Ho Young cleared the way ahead, their numbers were considerable, so it took time to open a path.

 

In the end, they couldn’t break through until the First Elder had disappeared.

 

“Whew.”

 

But by then, they had already inflicted devastating damage on the enemies.

 

Of the enemies who appeared to number roughly three hundred including the Corpse Blood Poison People, they had killed over a hundred.

 

And if you considered those who were wounded, it was much more than that.

 

Was that all?

 

Namgung Hyeok was able to subdue all the surviving Corpse Blood Poison People and Green Snake Corps members, making them prisoners.

 

These would surely become good cards for attacking the Tang Family in the future.

 

“Members of the Black Dragon Society, listen. As promised, I will provide you with the opportunity to enter the Main Gate. Those who wish to leave the Black Dragon Society and join us, come to my side.”

 

“We will serve with loyalty!”

 

“We want to be with the Sect Master!”

 

Then everyone sided with Namgung Hyeok without hesitation.

 

They already had a high probability of dying a dog’s death if they returned to the Black Dragon Society anyway…

 

‘That was incredible.’

 

‘That person is truly a hero of this era.’

 

They had all witnessed Namgung Hyeok fighting against the Sichuan Tang Family warriors.

 

The sight of him burning Sacred Fire all over his body while madly sweeping through the enemy camp.

 

It was exactly the kind of scene that could only be seen in legends. As warriors, there was no one who wasn’t captivated by him.

 

“Good. Then everyone keep the prisoners subdued. From today, you are officially Sacred Fire Sect disciples.”

 

“Yes!”

 

With resounding voices, the Black Dragon Society warriors began tying up the survivors from the Sichuan Tang Family.

 

After confirming this, Namgung Hyeok looked at Ho Young, who had approached at some point.

 

The two men looked at each other and grinned.

 

“Are you injured anywhere?”

 

“No. What about you, Captain?”

 

“Me? Well, as you can see.”

 

“Hehe. Did you come all the way here to rescue me?”

 

“You were so late that I came out to meet you. Make sure to keep your time appointments from now on.”

 

“I’ll keep that in mind. But I never expected we’d end up at war with the Tang Family.”

 

“I didn’t plan on it at first, but those bastards attacked first. Somehow it ended up like this.”

 

Namgung Hyeok replied calmly while looking around.

 

“Come to think of it, where is your younger sister?”

 

“I left her hidden in a safe place. She’s a child who hasn’t learned martial arts, so I couldn’t bring her to a battlefield like this.”

 

“You did well. I’d like to greet her too, so please guide me.”

 

“I’ll do that.”

 

The two men left the situation cleanup to Baek Hyeon and entered a cave located a short distance away.

 

“Seon-ah. Come out.”

 

Ho Young spoke while looking into the dark cave.

 

Then a frail-looking woman appeared, completely different in build from Ho Young.

 

As soon as she saw Namgung Hyeok, she seemed to understand the situation and immediately bowed her head.

 

“Ho Seon-ah, disciple of the Tang Family Divine Physician, greets the Seonghwa Gate Master… no, my benefactor.”

 

“Nice to meet you. As you know, I’m Namgung Hyeok. I’m glad to see you’re safe.”

 

“I was able to save my life thanks to my brother.”

 

“I see. But Young Lady, I have something I’m curious about…”

 

After a brief greeting, Namgung Hyeok asked with a serious expression.

 

“Is the reason the Sichuan Tang Family is chasing you because of the Corpse Blood Poison People?”
