Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 56

 

 

“G-great heroes. There seems to be some misunderstanding… Kheuk!”

“What misunderstanding? I clearly saw you putting your hand into the captain’s waist.”

Ho Young’s pressure on the young man’s throat grew stronger.

If he really applied more force, bones would break.

The young man couldn’t breathe and couldn’t think of anything.

Just as the young man was about to faint.

“Put him down, Ho Young.”

“Understood.”

“Kheuk!”

The young man narrowly escaped with his life.

His lungs greedily sucked in air.

After gasping like that for a while, he raised his head to look at Namgung Hyeok.

Then the young man couldn’t help but flinch.

‘Wh-what kind of pressure is this…!’

He felt that the aura flowing from Namgung Hyeok was extraordinary.

Sharp killing intent that seemed like it would cut him down in one stroke.

This was definitely not something you could feel from ordinary martial artists.

The opponent was someone who had slaughtered countless people.

“Pl-please spare me!”

Realizing this, the young man prostrated himself flat.

He realized he couldn’t escape from or fight against the beings before him.

Namgung Hyeok calmly watched that sight.

A little interest appeared in his emotionless expression.

“To immediately bow your head in apology, you do have some sense after all.”

“I was wrong! So please…”

“But I can’t just let this pass without any punishment. Where I originally came from, those caught stealing had their wrists cut off.”

“…!”

The young man’s face turned deathly pale.

It seemed like Namgung Hyeok would really cut off his wrist.

But Namgung Hyeok smiled faintly and said.

“Don’t worry. This isn’t a military camp. I don’t intend to punish crimes so strictly. However.”

Namgung Hyeok’s expression became serious.

“You must pay a price. Rest assured. I have no intention of taking your life.”

“Th-then you mean…”

“I’ll have to take all the money you’ve illegally collected.”

“…!”

The young man’s mouth gaped wide open.

But regardless, Namgung Hyeok gave Ho Young a look. Ho Young grinned and searched the young man’s belongings.

However.

“Hey, what’s this? Is this all there is?”

All that came out was a light money pouch containing just a few silver coins.

Ho Young openly showed his disappointment and flicked his finger.

Snap!

“Ugh!”

“Seeing how skilled you are at this, we weren’t your first target. Where did you hide the rest of the money? Tell me now and I’ll let you go nicely.”

“N-no! That money is…!”

“Then shall I cut off your wrist?”

Ho Young’s smile became more menacing.

The young man felt like he couldn’t breathe, and finally hung his head low and said.

“I already paid tribute so there’s no money left. Really. Please believe me…”

“Tribute.”

Namgung Hyeok rolled that word around in his mouth.

He fell into thought for a moment, then helped the young man up and asked.

“You, what’s your name?”

“Pardon?”

“What’s your name?”

“It’s Wang Ho.”

“Kid. You have quite a name. Why is someone like that doing petty theft?”

Ho Young grumbled as if incredulous.

Namgung Hyeok twisted his lips and placed his hand on the shoulder of the young man who revealed himself as Wang Ho.

“Wang Ho.”

“Y-yes!”

“Guide me to those guys you paid tribute to. Right now.”

“…!”

Wang Ho’s face turned deathly pale, but regardless, Namgung Hyeok spoke in a calm voice.

“A subordinate’s mistake should be questioned to their superior.”

Namgung Hyeok said that and looked at Wang Ho.

Eyes that said it wouldn’t be fun if he didn’t guide them properly.

Wang Ho, standing at a crossroads of choice, finally squeezed his eyes shut and opened his mouth.

“Please… follow me.”

For now, surviving the immediate situation came first.

 

* * *

 

Namgung Hyeok and Ho Young, with Wang Ho leading the way, were able to arrive at a private residence located inside the black market.

A strong smell of alcohol wafted from inside.

It seemed they were having a drinking party from broad daylight.

Ho Young looked at Namgung Hyeok and asked with a grin.

“Captain. Shall we go in?”

“Yes.”

Crash!

The main gate of the private residence was shattered to pieces by Ho Young’s kick.

Those who were laughing and chattering inside were startled and all jumped to their feet.

Their number was roughly twenty or more.

They shouted in great confusion.

“Wh-who are you!”

“People who have business with you.”

Namgung Hyeok said that and kicked Wang Ho with a thud.

Kicked in the buttocks, he fell forward with a thump.

The martial artists who saw Wang Ho’s face looked surprised.

“This guy got caught pickpocketing us. I came to collect compensation from you.”

“Wh-what nonsense! What compensation!”

“It’s simple. Just hand over the amount this guy has been paying in tribute to us.”

Namgung Hyeok stepped forward and said.

But the martial artists just shouted as if incredulous.

“What ridiculous nonsense are you spouting!”

“Get lost right now!”

“Do you even know who we are before saying such things!”

Fierce reactions erupted from all around.

They all grabbed nearby swords with flushed, drunken faces.

Even with killing intent focused on him, Namgung Hyeok chuckled and said.

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know. But one thing is certain—my demand to you remains unchanged.”

“Ha, ridiculous. What do you plan to do if we refuse to give it?”

“What do you think.”

Namgung Hyeok’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

“I’ll take it by force.”

“Urk…!”

Did they sense the killing intent flowing from him?

The warriors standing in front flinched.

But then.

“What’s going on here.”

A large warrior who appeared to be in his early forties walked out from inside the private residence.

He looked at the broken door with bewilderment. Soon realizing that these two were the culprits, the middle-aged man spoke with an angry expression.

“You bastards. Do you know where this is and dare to pull such a stunt?”

“I don’t know. As I said before, I’m not interested either.”

“We are people from the Black Dragon Society! How dare you threaten us like this—do you want to die!”

“Oho.”

Namgung Hyeok laughed as if amused.

Black Dragon Society.

If the Evil Path Alliance existed in the southeast of the Central Plains, then the Black Dragon Society was a dark organization large enough to be said to exist in the southwest.

Their known power was evenly matched with the Evil Path Alliance.

Perhaps even greater—that was the true strength of the Black Dragon Society.

However.

“So what about it?”

“What?”

“What matters is that your subordinate was caught coveting my money pouch, and you need to compensate for that. What does it matter whether it’s the Black Dragon Society or whatever?”

“Th-this bastard…”

The middle-aged man’s eyes trembled.

He had never expected to hear such a response.

He looked at his subordinates with fierce eyes and shouted.

“What are you doing! Kill these arrogant bastards!”

“Yes!”

At the middle-aged man’s command, all the Black Dragon Society warriors drew their swords.

“Captain. What should we do?”

“Don’t kill them.”

“Hahaha. Captain, your problem is being too merciful.”

Ho Young laughed lightly and stepped forward without even drawing his sword.

Did they think this was an opportunity?

“Die!”

The Black Dragon Society warriors raised their swords and charged.

They truly swung their swords at Ho Young with killing intent.

Clang!

“!?”

They looked at Ho Young in shock.

Because his arms were equipped with arm guards that looked like they were made of metal.

But what was more surprising was that their swords broke in half from just that strike.

This meant either the arm guards were stronger than expected, or the level of Ho Young’s Body Protection Qi was beyond imagination.

“Hmm. I can’t get a feel for how much force won’t kill them.”

Ho Young grumbled and threw a punch at the person in front.

Thwack!

“Cough!”

One Black Dragon Society warrior who was hit in the chest coughed and staggered backward.

He coughed several times with bloodshot eyes, then soon spat up blood.

“Bleegh!”

“This bastard!”

The other Black Dragon Society warriors were horrified at the sight.

No matter how they looked at it, their opponent was no ordinary master.

“Don’t try to face him one-on-one! Surround him and kill him all at once!”

Realizing this, the middle-aged man gave the order.

The Black Dragon Society warriors quickly came to their senses and surrounded Ho Young as commanded. They each raised their weapons and thrust their swords.

“Hahaha!”

Ho Young simply stomped his foot lightly where he stood.

Boom!

But the aftermath was tremendous.

The moment his leg touched the ground, an enormous Energy Wave burst forth and struck those nearby.

“What the!?”

The middle-aged man looked at him in horror, but Ho Young was already moving swiftly, uncharacteristic of his build.

Crack! Thud! Snap!

“Aaaahhh!”

“My, my arm!”

“Cough!”

Screams erupted among the Black Dragon Society warriors.

Someone was knocked unconscious with one hit, someone’s arm was shattered, and someone spat blood.

The amazing thing was that despite all this, not a single person died.

Even though he could have beaten everyone here to death with his bare hands, Ho Young chose not to.

When he had finally beaten down the last warrior except for the middle-aged man.

“…”

The middle-aged man could no longer speak.

His subordinates had been completely wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Wang Ho crouched down and trembled. He truly realized what kind of monster he had provoked.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man watched Ho Young approaching him and shouted.

“D-don’t come! Don’t come closer!”

“Hehe. I don’t want to.”

Ho Young spoke as if playing around.

The middle-aged man instinctively knew that at this rate, he would end up just like his subordinates.

So he had no choice but to take drastic measures.

“Wang Pyeong! Come out! Hurry out and protect me! If you don’t, I won’t leave your brothers’ sister alone!”

“Wang Pyeong?”

Ho Young muttered in a puzzled voice as if the name was familiar.

Thud!

Then someone stepped forward in front of Ho Young and the middle-aged man.

It was a man around Ho Young’s age, but he had a completely different atmosphere from the middle-aged man or other Black Dragon Society warriors.

He spoke with bloodshot eyes.

“Leader Hong. How dare someone like you threaten me by mentioning my sister.”

“Urk…!”

The middle-aged man called Leader Hong trembled as he was hit by the killing intent Wang Pyeong released. But he soon mustered courage and shouted.

“R-rather than that, quickly kill them! That’s an order!”

“That’s impossible.”

Wang Pyeong declared without a moment’s hesitation.

At this, the middle-aged man called Leader Hong wore a bewildered expression.

“Impossible? Wh-why?”

“How can you tell me to kill someone much stronger than me? It’s unreasonable.”

“What do you mean!”

“To put it simply, this is what I mean.”

Wang Pyeong spoke with a serious expression.

“That person is such a big shot that a small fry like me wouldn’t even be a match.”

“…!”

Shock flashed in Leader Hong’s eyes.
