Spear Heaven Martial Emperor Episode 60

“Hahahaha! I like how spirited the captain is.”

Ho Young said this while drawing his Demon-Slaying Blade.

“Ho Young. Don’t let your guard down.”

Jeon Wook also spoke while holding his sharp sword and watching all directions.

Soon attackers rushed toward them as well.

“Die!”

The enemies swung their swords with fierce momentum, but Namgung Hyeok calmly blocked their attacks.

Clang!

Namgung Hyeok kicked the enemy who seemed flustered that his strike was blocked, then thrust his sword straight through.

Thud!

“Kraaaah!”

The enemy with his chest pierced screamed and died on the spot.

His scream seemed to draw attention as enemies scattered throughout began focusing on Namgung Hyeok’s group.

“Attack!”

Soon three or four more enemies approached them.

“Hahahahaha!”

What welcomed them was Ho Young’s Demon-Slaying Blade.

Crash!

One attacker who blocked his strike was sent flying backward.

“What!?”

“Wasn’t their internal energy sealed?”

The attackers who saw this began murmuring.

Ho Young laughed heartily while continuously swinging his Demon-Slaying Blade.

“You idiots. That’s why I told you to build up your physical strength.”

“…!”

They couldn’t withstand Ho Young’s fierce sword strikes and were continuously pushed back.

At that moment, Jeon Wook approached using movement technique to conceal his presence.

Slash slash slash!

He used killing techniques without a moment’s hesitation, cutting only vital points to kill enemies instantly.

Jeon Wook then moved like a ghost, weaving between enemies.

“B-block him!”

“He’s too fast!”

“Aaaah!”

In an instant, three or four more enemies lost their lives.

Ho Young also stopped toying with enemies and swept through them like a wild beast. The two quickly brought down over ten enemies.

“Elder Brothers, you’re both getting too excited.”

So Geomlip sighed lightly and thrust his spear.

Whoosh!

The fierce strike cut through the air and pierced the chest of an approaching warrior.

He immediately kicked the corpse away and faced the next enemy.

“These crazy bastards….”

Wang Pyeong, who was barely blocking one attacker’s assault nearby, broke out in cold sweat.

With their internal energy sealed, their combat power had dropped to half, no, a third of normal.

So he too was struggling against enemies he would normally cut down quickly.

But to defeat enemies so easily like this?

It was as if they were accustomed to fighting without internal energy.

It wasn’t simply that their internal energy was strong, but that they were just inherently powerful people.

‘What exactly are these people.’

The most impressive among them was Namgung Hyeok.

Without moving far from his position, he was cutting down everyone who approached.

Each time his sword flashed, someone’s head fell.

Whether enemies launched combined attacks or threw ranged weapons, he handled everything too naturally.

“Damn it! What the hell are those guys!”

From the enemies’ perspective, it was maddening.

To think there were such monsters in the auction house they thought they had completely subdued?

“Drive out the attackers!”

“Waaaaah!”

Influenced by Namgung Hyeok’s group’s fierce fighting, resistance from the Black Market and some participants began intensifying.

The leader commanding the attackers now had no choice but to make a decision. At this rate, they would fail before achieving their objective.

“Get out of the way! I’ll cut off that bastard’s head myself!”

He stepped forward personally and charged like a ferocious beast.

His target was naturally Namgung Hyeok, who appeared to be the leader.

He explosively drew up his internal energy and unleashed a fierce strike.

A cruel smile appeared on the leader’s face.

Even if he noticed this attack, it wasn’t the kind of speed and power someone without internal energy could react to.

Whoosh!

Clang!

“Wh-what!?”

But the leader was startled by flames that suddenly erupted.

That was definitely a type of sword qi with a different form.

But how could someone whose internal energy was sealed by Mountain Void Poison use sword qi?

“Don’t tell me he took an antidote….”

“As if that’s possible.”

Namgung Hyeok smiled coldly while twisting his sword to push the leader back.

“It’s just that my martial arts don’t only use the lower dantian.”

“…!”

He said this while deploying a technique of the Sacred Fire Ultimate Sword.

Fire Dance Chain.

In an instant, a dance of flames unfolded and the leader’s body was torn apart.

He died without even being able to scream.

Thud!

The leader fell backward covered in blood.

“T-the captain has been defeated!”

“This is insane!”

The attackers shouted in panic at the sight.

At that moment, Namgung Hyeok charged forward as if there was nothing left to worry about and began swinging his sword.

It was a speed ordinary warriors could barely follow with their eyes.

He advanced while cutting down every obstructing enemy. In the process, he also saved the lives of many who were under attack.

“Th-thank….”

But without time to hear their gratitude, Namgung Hyeok went looking for the next enemy.

Soon the number of attackers was reduced to less than half.

The warrior who was next in rank after the leader who just died had no choice but to make a decision.

“Damn it! Retreat! Everyone run!”

He said this while pulling something from his chest and throwing it at Namgung Hyeok with all his might.

Dozens of small, sharp hidden weapons aimed at Namgung Hyeok, but they were blocked by a barrier of flames and bounced away.

“The enemies are fleeing!”

“Chase them!”

The warriors of the black market did not forgive the enemies who dared to ruin their auction.

They began to strike at the backs of the warriors who were trying to escape from the auction house.

It was time for the effects of the Mountain Void Poison to gradually wear off.

The tide of battle was completely reversed, and eventually some of the fleeing attackers were subdued by the warriors.

“We won!”

“Uwaaaaaaah!”

The surviving warriors of the black market and auction participants let out cheers.

Their gazes focused on Namgung Hyeok and his companions.

The martial prowess he had just displayed was so outstanding that one couldn’t help but tremble.

“It’s over.”

Namgung Hyeok said this and sheathed his sword.

Someone approached Namgung Hyeok.

It was the person called Ryu Jin who had been hosting the event until just now.

“Great hero. Thank you so much for your help. If it weren’t for you, the black market would have suffered much greater damage.”

“I merely defended myself when those bandits attacked this way.”

Namgung Hyeok answered calmly.

Ryu Jin smiled bitterly at this sight.

If that was simple self-defense, then what would an attack be?

“On behalf of the black market, I would like to give you some compensation. Is there any auction item you were interested in?”

“We came here targeting the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core.”

“I see. Seeing that fire sword just now, I can well understand why you need the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core.”

Ryu Jin nodded and ordered his subordinate to bring something.

Soon something wrapped in a very luxurious box was delivered to Namgung Hyeok’s hands.

“This is a box containing the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core. I hope this can convey our sincerity well.”

Namgung Hyeok asked him with a slightly surprised expression.

“You’re going to give this away for free?”

“Yes. If it weren’t for you, not only the inner core but all the auction items would have been robbed.”

Ryu Jin smiled subtly.

“Besides, thinking of it as a gift to the famous Flame Dragon Namgung Hyeok, it’s not regrettable at all. Please use our black market often in the future.”

“That won’t be difficult. I’ll do so.”

Namgung Hyeok accepted the box without declining.

Murmuring sounds could be heard from around them.

Who would have thought they’d just give away the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core that was expected to have the fiercest competition?

But even those with complaints couldn’t say much.

There were more than just one or two people in this auction house whose lives had been saved by Namgung Hyeok, and as Ryu Jin said, without him the entire auction house might have been robbed.

It was truly a situation where he had made overwhelming contributions.

So receiving this level of compensation was only natural.

Ryu Jin eventually looked around and said.

“Of course, as an apology for putting you through this situation, we plan to compensate others as well. Once again, we are truly sorry.”

Ryu Jin said this while leading his subordinates to capture those who had fallen here and there and began cleaning up.

His companions approached Namgung Hyeok who was left alone.

“At first I wondered what kind of attack this was, but this has turned into a blessing instead.”

“Indeed.”

They had managed to save a full thousand silver taels and obtain the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core.

Considering even the uncertainty of possibly not being able to obtain it, this was truly a great achievement.

“I should return immediately and consume it.”

“We will stand guard for you.”

At Namgung Hyeok’s words, Jeon Wook bowed his head and spoke.

But at that moment, he felt someone else approaching from afar again.

It was Han Yeoun from the Northern Sea Ice Palace, whom he had met before.

‘This time he’s not alone.’

Behind him followed a woman wearing a face veil and companions who appeared to be her escorts.

They all seemed to have fought fierce battles, their bodies covered in blood.

He first looked at Namgung Hyeok and performed a cupped fist salute. Namgung Hyeok also responded with a cupped fist salute toward them.

“Hero Han. I’m glad you’re safe.”

“Your contribution was truly great. If it weren’t for you, we would have had to fight much more fiercely.”

“With your skills and those of the Ice Palace warriors, you could have won sufficiently. But what brings you here this time?”

“That is…”

As Han Yeoun hesitated slightly, the woman wearing the face veil stepped forward.

Through the face veil, her gaze met with Namgung Hyeok’s.

Soon, as if she had steeled her resolve, the woman spoke in a beautiful voice.

“I want to purchase the Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core you received as a gift.”

“I believe I already gave my answer to that previously.”

“But we didn’t discuss the exact conditions. How about five hundred silver taels?”

“Haha.”

Namgung Hyeok took out several thick bundles of silver coins from his chest and showed them to the Northern Sea Ice Palace group.

“That is…!”

“We were prepared to spend up to fifteen hundred silver taels to buy this Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core. But five hundred silver taels is too cheap.”

“…!”

The woman seemed clearly flustered.

She didn’t know what to do as the amount of money jumped up significantly.

But that was only momentary.

“Th-then I’ll pay two thousand silver taels. Wouldn’t that be a sufficiently worthwhile deal?”

“Hmm. Do you have two thousand taels with you now? Could you show me?”

“Th-that’s not… However…”

“So you’re trying to negotiate with money you don’t even have on hand right now.”

Namgung Hyeok snorted.

He could feel the woman shrinking back at this.

She spoke pleadingly.

“I can promise on the name of the Ice Palace that I will definitely pay the price. Please, couldn’t you yield it to me? I really need it.”

“I’m sorry, but I cannot do that, Young Lady.”

At the firm refusal, he could feel the expression beneath the face veil being colored with despair.

Namgung Hyeok looked at her and spoke quietly.

“And anyway, even if you took this Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core, it would be of no use to you.”

“What? What do you mean by that?”

“To put it simply, it’s like this.”

Namgung Hyeok looked at her and spoke directly.

“The heavenly affliction of Nine Yin Severed Meridians cannot be cured with something like a Ten Thousand Year Fire Carp inner core.”

“…!”

The woman and the Northern Sea Ice Palace group were shocked.
