Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 180

Slash!

Blood splattered as the Snow Mountain Demon Lord’s chest split wide open.

She looked down in disbelief before falling backward.

Blood flowed steadily from her body as she lay sprawled out.

“Such a, monster-like…”

“Originally, this Murim is a place where you must hide thirty percent of your abilities.”

Namgung Hyeok replied calmly. He pointed his blade at the fallen Snow Mountain Demon Lord and asked.

“Do you have any last words?”

“The Main Cult will not, remain idle…”

“A clichéd last word. Farewell.”

Slice!

The Snow Mountain Demon Lord’s head fell.

“The, the Demon Lord has been defeated!”

The Heavenly Demon Sect members who witnessed this cried out in shock.

The Snow Mountain Demon Lord was their supreme commander.

But such a person had suddenly died, leaving them at a complete loss.

‘The damage grows greater as time passes.’

However, Namgung Hyeok paid them no mind.

What he was targeting were precisely the enemy leaders.

Among them, Master Eom was meeting his end at Lee Cheolgun’s hands.

That left two people remaining.

Master Seol and Master Dong, the leaders of the rebel army.

They were also the ones gritting their teeth and holding out against the Bukhaebinggung Master.

“This won’t do! We must retreat!”

Dong Wigwang shouted urgently toward Seol Yoon.

If they had three people including Eom Jopyeong, it might be different, but with just the two of them, they couldn’t defeat the Ice Palace Master.

“Damn it. But we can’t escape…!”

Seol Yoon replied while desperately trying to neutralize the attacks raining down on them.

They had come too deep to escape now.

With the Northern Sea Ice Palace Master glaring at them with fierce eyes from the front, escaping would be difficult.

“Damn it, then!”

Dong Wigwang pulled something from his chest and crunched it between his teeth.

It was the same Madness Demon Pill that Eom Jopyeong had taken.

“Hahahaha!”

With savage eyes, he shot slashing strikes in all directions.

The Single Palm that the Ice Palace Master had extended was neutralized and disappeared.

“Master Seol! You must take this too! If we’re going to survive, we must somehow capture or kill the Ice Palace Master here!”

“Damn it!”

Did he realize there was no other choice?

Seol Yoon also took the Mad Demon Pill and flashed his reddened eyes.

“Hmm….”

And Bukhaebinggung Master Bing Yohwi clicked his tongue in displeasure at the sight.

“Those who once led the Northern Sea have fallen so low. No matter how urgent the situation, to resort to suspicious drugs from the Evil Cult?”

“Shut up! A man about to die talks too much!”

“That’s probably a drug that affects Innate True Energy. Otherwise, there’d be no way to explain the sudden increase in strength. Having taken that, even if you win, you have no future.”

“Kuk…!”

The two family heads frowned upon hearing Bing Yohwi’s words. Because his words sounded reasonable.

However.

“Even if something happens to us, we’ll take you down with us here!”

They charged at Bing Yohwi as if they had no other choice.

Terrifying aura.

Masters positioned in the upper ranks of the Harmony Realm.

Moreover, their power, having triggered their Innate True Energy with drugs, was no longer something that could be dismissed as mere county-level masters.

The moment Bing Yohwi took his stance with a hardened expression.

Whoosh!

Scorching heat swept from behind the two family heads.

“…!”

They reflexively turned around, stopping their attack mid-way.

Namgung Hyeok’s Azure Heaven Sword, wrapped in flames, was being swung to cut down the two men.

“Damn!”

Clang!

Dong Wigwang blocked the incoming sword.

But he was shocked.

He had clearly completed his momentary enhancement with the drug, yet the impact felt from the sword tip was extraordinary.

“Kuk!”

Unable to overcome it, Dong Wigwang staggered back several steps.

Cold eyes followed his movement.

Once again, Namgung Hyeok’s sword danced.

Drawing flames in the air as he clashed swords several times, he suddenly unleashed the Heavy Sword Principles.

Emperor Sword Form.

Rumble!

“What is this!?”

The sword striking down at a not-so-fast speed crushed all the surrounding space.

As if Namgung Hyeok was dominating that area.

Dong Wigwang broke out in cold sweat as he tried to resist the pressure.

He could barely move his body, but it wasn’t enough to block the strike coming from above.

“You bastard!”

It was Seol Yoon who saved him.

He who had been keeping the Ice Palace Master in check suddenly aimed for Namgung Hyeok’s side and thrust his sword in a surprise attack.

Namgung Hyeok simply changed the trajectory of his Emperor Sword Form.

Kwaaaaang!

The Emperor’s sword pressured and crushed the sword technique deployed by the Snow Family Head.

Seol Yoon felt internal injuries accumulating in his meridians and retreated while coughing up blood.

At the same time, the oppressive pressure disappeared.

“Still immature.”

Namgung Hyeok briefly evaluated the Emperor Sword Form he had deployed.

Since it wasn’t a martial art he primarily used, it seemed he couldn’t use it consecutively.

Of course, even this alone could serve as a decisive move by catching the enemy off guard…

‘I should practice more.’

So that he could crush any ordinary enemy with just the Emperor Sword Form alone.

Namgung Hyeok thought this as he looked at the two family heads.

“What are you doing! Come quickly and help us!”

“Protect us! Victory is right before our eyes!”

Had they realized there was no chance of victory like this?

They were pitifully crying out to their subordinates in desperation.

But there was no one coming to help them.

Those who were quick-witted and had weak loyalty were already guessing the outcome of the battle and fleeing, while those who were slow-witted but had strong loyalty were blocked by other Allied Forces on their way.

“Haap!”

Crack!

Especially impressive was the performance of Small Palace Master Bing Sohye.

Seeing her freeze five or six enemies at once with a single Ice White Divine Palm, it seemed she could hold her own even against the heads of the Four Great Families.

“This is my final offer. Surrender.”

Bing Yohwi spoke while scattering a terrifyingly powerful aura in all directions.

The faces of the two family heads turned pale as they felt an energy that seemed like it would freeze their entire bodies.

However.

“Hyaaaaaaap!”

What they chose was not surrender but escape.

The two people ran with all their might in different directions, as if they had coordinated through telepathic communication beforehand.

[You take the left side.]

Namgung Hyeok nodded at Bing Yohwi’s telepathic communication and chased after Seol Yoon who had headed left.

Was this what it meant to be a family head after all?

His Light Body Technique for escaping was quite fast. So much so that one might think this itself was his Life-Saving Technique.

Of course, it didn’t work on Namgung Hyeok.

Whoosh!

A wall of flames was created in the direction Seol Yoon was heading.

“…!”

He hastily changed direction to head elsewhere, but walls made of flames kept being created there as well.

“Damn it…!”

“You’re really pushing yourself hard today.”

Namgung Hyeok said as he approached him.

Creating a wall of flames at such a considerable distance wasn’t an easy task even for Namgung Hyeok.

It meant there was considerable energy consumption.

‘But that goes for the other side as well.’

Namgung Hyeok said this as he gripped the Azure Heaven Sword tightly.

Soon, Seol Yoon and Namgung Hyeok’s eyes met.

Seol Yoon, gritting his teeth, glared at Namgung Hyeok and said.

“Insolent bastard. How dare an outsider try to interfere in Northern Sea’s internal affairs!”

“I’ve only come to eliminate threats to the Northern Sea Ice Palace according to the laws of our alliance.”

“Ridiculous! The Northern Sea isn’t in danger! We’re simply trying to save those suffering under the Bukhaebinggung Master’s rule…”

“So that’s why you joined hands with evil sect scum like the Heavenly Demon Sect?”

“…!”

“That woman called the Snow Mountain Demon Lord spilled everything before she died. She said they came here to divide and weaken the Northern Sea. According to her words, you were nothing more than pawns used in their scheme.”

“Th-that’s…”

“No, saying you were used isn’t quite right. In the end, you all knew and brought them in anyway. You probably thought it didn’t matter as long as you seized power.”

Namgung Hyeok continued with a contemptuous expression.

“Foolishly so.”

“You…!”

“Even if you had succeeded in your rebellion and seized power, did you think that power would truly be yours? Of course, you were probably planning to dispose of the Heavenly Demon Sect afterward. But do you think they would have quietly withdrawn? Absolutely not.”

Namgung Hyeok continued calmly.

“They would have sent additional troops to dominate the weakened Northern Sea. Or they would have taken your children hostage to force your compliance. Either way, no good ending awaited you.”

“Shut up, you bastard!”

“You get angry even when I tell you the truth. Truly foolish, I must say.”

Namgung Hyeok clicked his tongue and swung the Azure Heaven Sword.

Swoosh!

A simple vertical slash.

Seol Yoon immediately reacted and blocked the attack.

He tried to counterattack immediately, but.

Whoosh!

“What!?”

What followed was a Sacred Fire Single Fist bursting from Namgung Hyeok’s left hand.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, Seol Yoon’s body was sent flying backward.

“Ugh!”

Somehow managing to defend with his Body Protection Qi, Seol Yoon immediately got up and took his stance.

And then a sword strike aimed at his neck.

It was a technique form of the Flame Prison Heaven Wheel.

A terrifying slashing strike burst forth, followed by a fire wheel filling that space.

Seol Yoon, who had somehow managed to block the first slashing strike, couldn’t block the wheel of flames that followed.

He screamed as the rapidly spinning Fire Wheels danced wildly around him.

“Aaaaaaahhh!”

A soul-tearing scream.

Irreversible wounds had already been carved into his body.

He desperately tried to dodge the Fire Wheels and retreat backward.

But before he could do anything, the Heaven-Piercing Sword pierced through his chest.

“Ah…”

Seol Yoon looked down at his chest in disbelief before breathing his last.

Namgung Hyeok twisted the sword as he pulled it out and grabbed him by the collar, lifting him up.

“Rebel Army, listen! Your leader is dead!”

His voice boomed thunderously. Loud enough for everyone on this battlefield to hear.

He could actually feel many gazes focusing on him.

Shock. Joy. Conviction that they knew this would happen. And worship.

Receiving all those gazes, Namgung Hyeok shouted once more.

“Now you have no reason to fight! I warn you, surrender immediately! If you don’t…”

Whoooosh!

Sacred Fire erupted from Namgung Hyeok’s entire body.

He looked like a mythical fire giant who had descended upon the battlefield.

Everyone stared at him in awe. Meanwhile, Namgung Hyeok’s words continued.

“You’ll have to face my sword. If you want to try until the end, that’s not bad either.”

“…”

For a moment, silence lingered over the battlefield. But it was only for a moment.

Thud!

“I, I surrender!”

“Me too!”

“We were only fighting because we were ordered to from above!”

Countless rebel soldiers began dropping their weapons and surrendering.

A very small number of rebels, whether out of strong loyalty, attempted a final resistance, but it was futile. They were all subdued within moments.

“I’m truly grateful. Thanks to you, the casualties were reduced.”

Bing Yohwi, who had likewise defeated Master Dong and returned, expressed his gratitude.

Namgung Hyeok nodded and ordered that all prisoners be bound and restrained.

It was the moment when the Ice Palace civil war that began with the Three Families’ rebellion came to an end.
