Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 170

 

Four days later.

 

Namgung Hyeok and his party had moved to the conflict zone.

 

“This is my first time coming out this far.”

 

So Yeon muttered while fully expanding her energy sensing, checking if anyone was nearby.

 

As she said, this was the first time the Sacred Fire Gate group had come near the conflict zone. Although they had already been active in the southern region, that place wasn’t really what you’d call a true battlefield.

 

“According to the information, they’re having a dog fight here, going back and forth, right?”

 

It was former Evil Path Alliance Leader Lee Cheolgun speaking.

 

Bing Seolhye and her guards frowned at hearing such blunt words, but they didn’t particularly deny it.

 

In reality, the front lines were fluidly changing, repeating advances and retreats.

 

And today was a day when the Ice Palace side was pushing forward.

 

Of course, the reason was precisely because of the Hancheol Mine.

 

‘Most warriors probably don’t know that fact though.’

 

Namgung Hyeok had been quite careful about security in case information leaked out.

 

As a result, this operation had become one known only to a very few, including the participants.

 

Of course, if things ended successfully, he planned to announce their achievements…

 

But until then, it couldn’t be revealed to anyone.

 

Because not only could the mission fail, but all the personnel here could end up in danger.

 

“Let’s move.”

 

Namgung Hyeok said that and moved toward the Hancheol Mine through a pre-planned route.

 

Was it because he was expanding his energy sensing?

 

From far away, screams and shouts seemed to be faintly audible.

 

It was the sound coming from the battlefield.

 

For their sake too, it would be better to complete the mission quickly.

 

“We’ll arrive soon. Don’t let your guard down.”

 

As Namgung Hyeok said, not long after, they were able to infiltrate the enemy camp.

 

When they went quite deep inside, as expected, the Hancheol Mine began to come into view.

 

Also, hundreds of enemy troops guarding it.

 

Their military discipline didn’t look particularly strict.

 

However, that didn’t mean they were opponents to underestimate either.

 

‘Just being stationed here means they’re elite forces.’

 

The enemies weren’t fools either, and there was no way they’d entrust such a precious location as the Hancheol Mine to just anyone.

 

They were probably main force units, but being relatively in the rear, their vigilance would be somewhat lowered.

 

He briefly watched the Seol Family’s command flag fluttering in the enemy camp.

 

Soon.

 

“So Yeon. I’m counting on you. Smash through their defenses with full power.”

 

“Just leave it to me.”

 

Namgung Hyeok, who had come via the back mountain connected to the mine, gave his position to So Yeon.

 

Kwaaaaak!

 

She nocked an arrow and pulled the bowstring back with all her might.

 

At the same time, a storm of True Energy materialized tensely.

 

So Yeon’s eyes gleamed sharply as she looked toward the center of the enemy camp.

 

She paused for a moment, then shot her bow without hesitation.

 

Flying Stream Heaven-Breaking Bow secret technique: Heaven Breaking.

 

Her devastating technique was unleashed from the very start.

 

The arrow that flew forth struck the enemy camp at near-sonic speed and caused a massive explosion.

 

Kwaaaaang!

 

“Kyaaaack!”

 

“Wh-what!”

 

“It’s a surprise attack!”

 

The enemy camp instantly turned into chaos.

 

Despite the fact that quite a few personnel were spread apart from each other, about five or six people were caught in the explosion and lost their lives.

 

Among them was someone presumed to be an enemy executive.

 

But So Yeon didn’t care who got hit.

 

True to her past when she was called the Nachal Bow Demon, she was only preparing her next move to kill the enemies.

 

Kwaaaak!

 

Her bowstring was pulled taut once again.

 

This time it was a different attack from before.

 

Though it wasn’t as explosive as Heaven Breaking, a much more threatening technique unfolded from her hands.

 

Pishushushuk!

 

One arrow split apart, transforming into what looked like dozens of arrows falling down.

 

“Kuhek!”

 

“Urk!”

 

The enemy forces that couldn’t dodge and were struck directly.

 

In an instant, more than ten people coughed up blood and died.

 

However, were elites truly elites after all?

 

“Attack!”

 

“Don’t let her use the bow anymore!”

 

Instead of panicking, they began charging in pairs precisely toward So Yeon’s direction.

 

It was quite an excellent response.

 

Namgung Hyeok instructed So Yeon to keep shooting while commanding his other subordinates.

 

“Everyone prepare for battle.”

 

Sring!

 

Hot energy waves burst forth from among the Sacred Fire Sect disciples who simultaneously drew their swords.

 

They all looked at the approaching enemies with eyes full of fervor.

 

Those who were steadily approaching despite So Yeon’s continuous sniping.

 

They were the elites of the Seol Family.

 

The light body technique with which they gracefully ran across the snow field was something that even enemies had to admire.

 

“They’re worthy opponents.”

 

Namgung Hyeok said this and ignited the Sacred Fire.

 

Whoosh!

 

The Sacred Fire wrapped around the Azure Heaven Sword began rapidly melting the surrounding snow.

 

Not only that, but as the power of those using Purifying Fire gathered, the temperature of the area dropped sharply.

 

Namgung Hyeok grinned at the sight.

 

He looked at the enemies who had now approached within arm’s reach and spoke.

 

“Everyone, advance.”

 

His blade, which charged out first, spewed fire.

 

“Sweep away the enemies.”

 

“Waaaaaaaah!”

 

About two hundred Sacred Fire Sect disciples charged toward the enemies as if they had been waiting for this moment.

 

* * *

 

‘What is this!’

 

Seong Pilho, who had been demoted and sent to the Hancheol Mine, was extremely flustered.

 

Honestly, after coming to this place, he thought he would be disconnected from combat for a while…

 

He never expected to be attacked like this.

 

And by Namgung Hyeok, whom he so desperately wanted to avoid!

 

“You bastard! What are you doing! Go and stop those guys!”

 

When Seong Pilho didn’t move, Seol Wonhu, the Young Family Head of the Seol Family and commander of this site, shouted at the top of his lungs.

 

He was angry that such an outstanding master was slacking off.

 

Dash!

 

Seong Pilho had no choice but to leave the safe military camp and run toward where the Sacred Fire Sect disciples were.

 

Their formation was extremely solid.

 

Just like the methods used in the military, five people formed one squad in formation.

 

The paired personnel complemented each other’s weaknesses and blind spots, excellently blocking the enemies.

 

Was that all?

 

Even the five-person formations were mixed with other formations, creating a synergistic effect.

 

From the opposing side’s perspective, the Sacred Fire Sect’s formation resembled a solid wall with blades embedded everywhere.

 

Naturally, the exchange ratio between both sides was at an absurd level.

 

So to inflict damage on the enemies, they had to somehow break that formation.

 

It was when Seong Pilho, thinking this way, gathered True Energy in his soles.

 

Whooom!

 

With a loud sound, an arrow was fired aiming for his heart.

 

“…!”

 

Seong Pilho had to stop charging forward and deflect the arrow with all his might.

 

He felt a metallic taste from within. He had suffered internal injuries while dealing with the sudden surprise attack.

 

And to him in that state.

 

“We meet again.”

 

Whoosh!

 

There was a man wielding a sword flickering with Sacred Fire.

 

Naturally, his identity was Namgung Hyeok.

 

He had been commanding from inside the formation when he saw Seong Pilho and immediately rushed out.

 

“Why are you here when you should be in the south?”

 

“Kugh!”

 

“Well, I suppose you received some punishment. After all, abandoning your subordinates and fleeing alone was quite disgraceful.”

 

“You bastard…!”

 

“But will you be able to escape this time too?”

 

It was a chilling remark.

 

Seong Pilho felt goosebumps rise all over his body and looked around.

 

He was trying to somehow gather allied forces.

 

“The enemy commander is here! If we kill this bastard, the enemies will collapse!”

 

“…!”

 

Countless warriors who heard that shout flinched.

 

From their perspective, capturing or killing the Seonghwa Gate Master who stood alone seemed better than breaking through the formation of those sturdy-looking Sacred Fire Sect disciples.

 

The executives thought the same way.

 

“Don’t let him escape!”

 

A female executive of the Heavenly Demon Sect named Seo Ryeong drew her sword and closed the distance.

 

“That bastard’s head belongs to our Seol family!”

 

Also, Seol Wonhu, who had urged Seong Pilho earlier, rushed forward to kill Namgung Hyeok.

 

In their eyes, Namgung Hyeok seemed like a military achievement.

 

‘Good. Come quickly!’

 

Seong Pilho welcomed them with delight.

 

Though he usually despised these people, they were now reliable allies.

 

The martial prowess of those two was not inferior to his own, so he calculated that if the three of them combined their attacks, they could definitely capture Namgung Hyeok.

 

However…

 

“How dare you insignificant things.”

 

Someone blocked the path of the charging Seol Wonhu.

 

It was Bing Seolhye, her long hair flowing from the waves of her martial power.

 

“Small Palace Master…!”

 

Seol Wonhu’s expression turned pale as he recognized her.

 

It wasn’t simply because he had encountered the Small Palace Master of the Northern Sea Ice Palace.

 

It was because he could feel the ominous energy bursting forth from her hands.

 

“You’re trying to kill my benefactor?”

 

Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwang!

 

Terrifying Yin Cold Energy exploded through the atmosphere like a burst.

 

It was the manifestation of the Ice White Divine Palm that only the Bukhaebinggung Master and the Small Palace Master could wield.

 

Seol Wonhu immediately stopped running and drew up his Body Protection Qi with all his might.

 

He even swung his weapon to try to offset the attack somehow, but it was only pitiful resistance.

 

“Kugh!”

 

In the end, he couldn’t withstand the tremendous force and was sent flying for quite a distance before rolling on the ground.

 

“Y-Young Family Head!”

 

Shocked voices could be heard from all around.

 

The Seol Family executives who had been commanding from various positions immediately surrounded Seol Wonhu protectively.

 

“What kind of power is that…?”

 

“The Small Palace Master’s martial prowess wasn’t at this level before?”

 

“Was she hiding her strength?”

 

They looked at Bing Seolhye with disbelief.

 

But Bing Seolhye only prepared for her second attack with a demon-like expression.

 

To stop her, a Seol Family elder had to step forward.

 

“Just hold on a little longer! We’ve reported that we’re under attack, so reinforcements will come soon!”

 

“Do you think we can hold out until then?”

 

“Krgh!”

 

Meanwhile, Seo Ryeong, who had been rushing forward quickly, was also blocked midway.

 

This was because Jeon Wook had intervened in her path and unleashed merciless killing techniques.

 

Each of his attacks aimed at vital points was not just threatening but so murderous it made one’s teeth chatter.

 

In the end, Seo Ryeong had no choice but to stop and defend against Jeon Wook’s attacks.

 

Clang clang clang!

 

“The crime of daring to target my Lord – I’ll make you pay with your life.”

 

Saying this, Jeon Wook suddenly threw a poisoned dagger.

 

Though Seo Ryeong barely managed to dodge the dagger that came from his chest before she could react, what followed was a continuous attack aimed at somehow taking her head.

 

‘There’s no wasted True Energy at all. He’s truly an assassin who studied how to kill people efficiently!’

 

Seo Ryeong thought this while breaking out in cold sweat.

 

She blew a whistle signal to summon the Heavenly Demon Sect masters nearby.

 

She needed to somehow defeat Jeon Wook and head toward where Namgung Hyeok was.

 

“Tsk. To think I have to handle the cleanup.”

 

But they too were blocked by Lee Cheolgun and couldn’t advance.

 

Lee Cheolgun performed a sword dance while inwardly looking enviously at Jeon Wook who was fighting Seo Ryeong.

 

Every time his Sword Qi flashed, the Heavenly Demon Sect masters fell one by one.

 

“This is insane…!”

 

Seeing this, Seong Pilho instinctively realized he had picked the wrong fight.

 

He looked at his opponent before him while cold sweat poured down.

 

Namgung Hyeok was smiling as he faced Seong Pilho.

 

It was as if he was enjoying this situation.

 

Whoosh!

 

Soon, flames extending from the Azure Heaven Sword covered Namgung Hyeok’s entire body.

 

He slowly raised his sword and pointed it at Seong Pilho.

 

Namgung Hyeok smiled wickedly and said.

 

“Let’s have some fun too.”

 

At that moment, a flashing Slashing Strike surged toward Seong Pilho’s neck.
