Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 203
“This bastard…!”
The already red face of the Red-Faced Black Demon turned even redder.
An expression full of rage.
He raised his great sword and shouted.
“Attack!”
“Waaaaaaah!”
With the signal, about three hundred Demon Cult members charged toward the Seonchang Faction.
“Hold positions!”
“Stab!”
The warriors of the Seonchang Faction countered with the formation they had hastily learned.
Thud!
Holes appeared in the chests of those who charged first.
The Demon Cult members hesitated at the much sturdier defense than expected.
Was that sight frustrating?
“What are you all doing!”
Blood Wind Demon Army, who had been watching the situation, stepped forward.
“To think you’re trembling and blocked by such a trivial formation!”
He raised his weapon, a blade, and shouted angrily.
At the same time, a red slashing strike shot out.
The attack that made Blood Wind Demon Army called Blood Wind Demon Army unfolded.
But that was when it happened.
“What!?”
Bang!
With an explosive sound, the slashing strike disappeared.
Blood Wind Demon Army looked with disbelieving eyes at the one who had deflected his attack.
There stood So Geomlip with an expressionless face, holding up his spear.
“Who are you!”
“Seonghwa Sect’s Third Guardian. So Geomlip.”
“Black Yaksha!”
At So Geomlip’s answer, Blood Wind Demon Army’s face hardened stiffly.
Black Yaksha So Geomlip.
Originally, he wasn’t a warrior known by name in Murim.
But after Seonghwa Sect’s rapid advancement, information about Seonghwa Gate Master Namgung Hyeok and the Four Great Guardians protecting him became essential knowledge for many warriors.
Information about So Geomlip was one of them.
Though he was the least known among Seonghwa Sect’s four guardians, the fact that he was called Black Yaksha on the northern battlefields was known.
“Ha, I’ve met a precious opponent who’s hard to encounter today!”
The confusion was brief, as Blood Wind Demon Army’s blade took on a blood-red hue.
With that, So Geomlip and Blood Wind Demon Army exchanged moves with each other.
Fast offense and defense that ordinary warriors could barely follow with their eyes passed between them as the two moved apart.
So Geomlip had intentionally pushed Blood Wind Demon Army away from the Seonchang Faction.
Meanwhile.
“Iron Blood Magoon. Did you dare harm my disciples?”
Baekgol Magoon was facing Yeo Hui while emanating killing intent.
Though he appeared to be an old man with nothing but bones, the aura emanating from him was no joke.
“Hmph, that’s why someone without fear tried to confine me there?”
Yeo Hui burst into mocking laughter as she provoked Baekgol Magoon.
At the same time, a surprise strike unfolded.
Clang!
But Yeo Hui’s sword was blocked by Baekgol Magoon.
Baekgol Magoon attacked Yeo Hui with eyes like a vicious viper.
“I won’t let you go!”
Baekgol Magoon, who shouted angrily, released tremendous energy.
A pale form like white bones appeared behind him as Gang Qi gathered in his fist.
Baekgol Magoon unleashed killing techniques against Yeo Hui without hesitation.
“Kyahahaha! An old man who couldn’t even fight unless three attacked together out of fear of me, where do you think you’re going!”
However, she was no easy opponent.
Yeo Hui deflected the mercilessly unleashed strike with her sword and immediately launched a counterattack.
A flashing sword strike grazed across Baekgol Magoon’s skin.
A red line was drawn as blood splattered.
“Neither of them needs my help.”
Namgung Hyeok watched this scene and muttered in a leisurely voice.
Conversely, Red-Faced Black Demon’s expression became anxious. Because both Blood Wind Demon Army facing So Geomlip and Baekgol Magoon facing Yeo Hui were being pushed back as Namgung Hyeok said.
“Hmph. After I kill you, I’ll just provide support.”
But he tried to hide that anxiety and provoked Namgung Hyeok.
There was nothing good about showing emotions.
Namgung Hyeok smirked as if he knew everything and gestured with his hand.
“Come.”
“Bastard!”
Red-Faced Black Demon’s great sword flashed as a heavy strike shot out.
Swoosh!
It had the momentum to destroy everything that blocked it.
A strike threatening enough with just the sword wind generated, not even the sword strike itself.
Claaang!
Namgung Hyeok didn’t run away but received it. At that moment, surprise appeared on Red-Faced Black Demon’s face.
‘To receive my attack so easily?’
Namgung Hyeok, who had received his attack, didn’t retreat or tremble. He had blocked the attack far too easily.
For him, who used sword techniques focused on strong strikes to create openings in opponents, this was an unfamiliar opponent.
“Indeed, what a fearsome strike. If it hit properly, it could split even rocks in one blow.”
Craaack!
But when Namgung Hyeok applied force, Red-Faced Black Demon’s sword that was pressed against his began to be pushed back. His pupils trembled.
He never expected to be so overwhelmed even in his area of confidence.
But regardless, Namgung Hyeok’s counterattack continued.
Boom!
An impact like lightning striking hit Red-Faced Black Demon’s sword blade.
Red-Faced Black Demon gritted his teeth and endured it.
Just when it seemed he might somehow block it, Namgung Hyeok was by no means easy.
He imbued his sword strike with Sacred Fire, generously using the energy of righteousness that destroys evil.
Whoosh!
“Kyaaaah!”
A scream burst from Red-Faced Black Demon’s mouth as he faced a power completely opposite to his martial arts.
He pushed Namgung Hyeok away with a pained expression and reorganized his stance.
The tingling shock seemed to still remain throughout his body.
‘It wouldn’t be good to cross swords for long.’
It was noteworthy that he could produce monstrous strength similar to his own, but above all, the Sacred Fire was bothersome.
That power inflicted damage on him just by touching.
He could indeed understand why Seonghwa Gate Master Namgung Hyeok was called the natural enemy of evil practitioners.
If someone wielded such power, they would inevitably receive such an evaluation.
‘I need to end this with a quick battle.’
Thump, the Red-Faced Black Demon stepped forward with True Step.
At the same time, surging monstrous strength.
Black Gang Qi rose up like painting over the world with a brush and rushed toward Namgung Hyeok.
A strike coming down from upper left to lower right.
‘This will be hard to block.’
Namgung Hyeok instinctively realized this fact and twisted his body.
Swoosh!
A diagonal slash with tremendous power passed through where he had been standing. Namgung Hyeok took advantage of that gap to thrust his sword wrapped in Sacred Fire again.
Flame Dragon Breaking Heaven.
The first technique of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword unfolded.
“Not a chance!”
But the Red-Faced Black Demon shouted with internal energy and forcibly twisted his sword without even withdrawing it.
Boom!
The trajectory of the thrust went awry with a loud sound.
Without even a chance to recover, a fist filled with intense energy rushed toward Namgung Hyeok.
That fist, also containing black Gang Qi, looked like it could shatter even a large old tree in one blow.
Namgung Hyeok didn’t dodge and swung his fist to meet it.
Crash!
A tremendous shockwave erupted and shook everything around.
It was tremendous power that felt like bones would be crushed.
If he hadn’t protected himself with internal energy, wouldn’t his wrist have been broken?
Tap tap tap!
Feeling that his attack had failed, the Red-Faced Black Demon retreated backward and created distance.
Namgung Hyeok also caught his breath and reorganized his stance.
Indeed, they said he was stronger than most Demon Lords despite not having the title of Demon Lord, and those words were correct.
‘He’s stronger than the Snow Mountain Demon Lord I fought before.’
Well, that’s probably why he held a high position in one faction. He was indeed a master comparable to the upper-tier Demon Lords.
And the Red-Faced Black Demon was feeling exactly the same way.
‘This monster-like bastard.’
No, rather he was feeling it even more keenly.
Considering the age difference between himself and Namgung Hyeok, this was an impossible situation.
‘Even if the compatibility is good, to have the upper hand against me.’
If he grew further from here, he would be able to match the few Demon Venerables in the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult, and even the Guardian Envoys.
No, perhaps he might even be able to handle the Cult Leader…
‘No, what kind of blasphemous thought is this.’
The Red-Faced Black Demon was startled by his own unconscious thought and stopped thinking.
It seemed that being tired made his thoughts come out unfiltered.
No matter what, the idea of someone that young matching the Cult Leader of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult didn’t make sense.
‘Unless he’s one of those called the Ten Great Masters of the Central Plains.’
The Cult Leader was a lofty existence in an unreachably high place.
He wasn’t some insignificant being to be compared to the likes of Namgung Hyeok.
‘I must prove that.’
By defeating Namgung Hyeok somehow.
This was a duty as a member of the Heavenly Demon Divine Cult before being part of the Second Young Master’s faction.
The Red-Faced Black Demon gripped his great sword with a determined expression.
The two briefly probed each other.
But that was only for an instant before the fight resumed.
Flash!
The Red-Faced Black Demon’s great sword cut through the air and rushed forward like lightning.
At that moment, Namgung Hyeok was condensing Sacred Fire and gathering it on the blade of the Changcheon Sword.
Seeing the sword strike flying to split him apart, he counterattacked instead.
Explosive Flame Annihilation.
Crash!
With a huge explosion, the Red-Faced Black Demon’s sword was pushed back.
“Ugh!”
Bright red blood burst from his mouth as if he had suffered internal injuries.
But before he could even finish coughing up all that blood, a second strike poured down.
Slash!
“Gah!”
This time his shoulder blade was cut and blood spurted out.
Namgung Hyeok clicked his tongue as if disappointed he couldn’t cut the neck and dodged the incoming counterattack.
With the sound of air being torn, a sword strike struck where he had been just moments before.
Swoosh!
But at that moment, threads extended from Namgung Hyeok’s hands.
It was the power of the Thousand Web obtained from the Northern Sea Ice Palace. The threads that extended bound the Red-Faced Black Demon’s limbs.
Crack!
“Grrk!?”
They tightened to prevent him from moving.
The Red-Faced Black Demon, who had been in pain for a moment, shouted.
“Not a chance!”
Rumble!
The cry bursting from inside his body echoed like a sound attack.
Namgung Hyeok frowned but didn’t withdraw the Thousand Web. Instead, he suddenly infused cold energy into the threads.
Crackle!
“What!?”
Shock appeared on the Red-Faced Black Demon’s face.
And rightfully so.
What kind of person was the Seonghwa Gate Master?
He was famous for handling the Sacred Fire Divine Art, an extreme Yang martial art. But what he had just released was unmistakably Yin energy.
Logically, it was an impossible situation.
‘How can this bastard handle Yin Cold Energy?’
Of course, it was power that Namgung Hyeok had gained by obtaining the ice crystal, a treasure of the Northern Sea, but there was no way the Red-Faced Black Demon could know that.
Realizing that his opponent’s body had become sluggish due to the cold energy, Namgung Hyeok withdrew the Thousand Web.
Though he was free again, the Red-Faced Black Demon, who couldn’t fully recover in a short time, staggered.
Namgung Hyeok took advantage of that gap to draw up his power.
Whoosh!
Sacred Fire rose fiercely and sharp killing intent formed on the Changcheon Sword. Namgung Hyeok stepped forward powerfully with True Step and brought his sword down.
“Haaaah!”
The Red-Faced Black Demon, who let out a battle cry, raised his great sword to block the downward strike.
Boom!
Once again a shockwave burst out and he groaned at the crushing power.
But at the same time, he also smiled.
“My victory!”
Because at that moment, surging demonic energy overcame the Sacred Fire’s aura and deflected Namgung Hyeok’s sword.
The gap that was created.
The Red-Faced Black Demon aimed for that gap without hesitation.
Believing without doubt that it would lead him to victory.
But it was at that moment.
“!?”
A mysterious power dwelled in Namgung Hyeok’s sword as it changed trajectory instead of being deflected.
And that power completely severed the demonic energy contained in the Red-Faced Black Demon’s attack, slashing his chest diagonally.
Purification Single Heart.
A technique form that was the natural enemy of all demonic energy unfolded, completely devouring the power contained in the Red-Faced Black Demon’s attack.
“What is this…?”
Puhwahak!
Blood burst from the throat of the Red-Faced Black Demon who was trying to speak with difficulty.
Because Namgung Hyeok’s sword had cut his throat.
The Red-Faced Black Demon wore an expression of disbelief for a moment, then collapsed just like that.
Thud!
His body crumbled pathetically, making his former mighty strength seem meaningless.
The Demon Cult members who saw this sight gaped in shock.
They never could have imagined that Namgung Hyeok would bring down their leader like this.
And Namgung Hyeok.
“I told you, didn’t I? That I would cut off the Red-Faced Black Demon’s head.”
He twisted his lips into a smile and leaped into the enemy camp.
A massacre had begun.
