Call Of The Spear [EN]: Chapter 336

Roaaaaaaar!

The roar of the audience echoed thunderously.

“Which family does that merchant ship belong to?”

“It’s marked with the Sa clan.”

“Sa clan? Which Sa clan is that?”

“Does it even matter!”

A small, obscure family from the frontier is holding its own against a daughter of a great clan.

That alone is more than enough to ignite this fervor.

The audience surged like waves.

P palms were sweating, and they couldn’t help but lift their butts off their seats.

For some reason, they were all cheering for the woman who wielded fire with a unified heart.

To anyone who looked, the difference in skill was obvious.

But she didn’t yield to that, displaying a hidden card and engaging in a fierce battle, so how could they not be excited?

“Ooooooh!”

The audience stirred once more.

The entire body of the Fire Kirin, which had swallowed the sun, was engulfed in flames.

Then, a faint golden light flickered, and a massive fire demon descended as if to incinerate the sky.

It was truly like the brilliance of the sun.

A flame that was incomparably more radiant and passionate than Peng Ga-yeon’s.

“Could it be…”

The audience’s thoughts were all the same.

Could an unknown cultivator from the frontier possibly defeat the daughter of the prestigious Peng clan?

The thought flashed through their minds, and at the same time, goosebumps rose on their spines.

Even while thinking it couldn’t be possible, they were all hoping for it.

Most of those present were cultivators who remained at the Lesser or Upper Immortal level.

Even among immortals, there were distinctions based on power and position.

Eternal life was distant and arduous, but even so, they were immortals who lived for thousands, if not tens of thousands of years.

They knew better than anyone that the difference in power could not be easily overcome.

And they also knew the difference in innate talent.

They were the ones who knew better than anyone the despair and unfairness of the heavens.

So, they secretly hoped.

For that reason, they cheered.

“F, fight!”

As one person did so, others shouted with their own emotions.

“Yeah, just win!”

“Give those great clans a taste of their own medicine!”

“If you win, be my wife!”

“Who the hell was that just now!”

There was some discord, but most of them were cheering for her.

Desperate hearts have a way of changing their surroundings. Sa-ha was unknowingly receiving the support of many.

But it was impossible to overcome the difference in experience with mere spirit.

“Ah…”

By just a hair.

By a hair’s breadth, the Fire Kirin’s massive form gradually crumbled.

Peng Ga-yeon’s figure, along with the Crimson Lightning Rod, came into Sa-ha’s view as she sank into the Cloud Sea.

All of its red fur was charred black, turning it into a Black Lightning Rod instead of a Crimson one.

‘Serves you right.’

Sa-ha soon faded into the Cloud Sea and opened her eyes on the chair in the training hall, sighing in disappointment.

“Haa…”

Just a hair.

It really was just a hair’s difference.

In her true form, she swallowed the sun, covered herself in golden flames, and wrestled with her back and forth.

But as a result, her own inexperience was the decisive factor in her defeat.

The instability of the sun in the Supreme Celestial Outer Yang Divine Art [a powerful fire-based technique].

And it was good to aim for a temporary increase in power by swallowing it.

It was a method she had come up with without even realizing it.

It was surprisingly effective, and even now, she thought it was amazing that she had pushed Peng Ga-yeon so hard.

‘But I was inexperienced.’

She lacked experience in handling the amplified power and fighting in her true form, so she had no choice but to lose.

She could have pushed through with the momentum and turned it into a victory, but it was still too much for her.

Sa-ha still looked at Beom, who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed.

-I will reveal it for you.

‘Is that what you meant by that?’

When she swallowed the sun and poured out her whole heart without reservation, Beom’s golden flames bloomed.

It was something he had subtly planted.

If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t have been able to push Peng Ga-yeon so hard.

‘You still don’t have a single scratch.’

Not even a hint of exhaustion.

Not a single scorch mark on his clothes.

He was still silently walking through the Cloud Sea, defeating the opponents who came at him.

He was close enough to touch, but for some reason, he felt distant.

At the end of a long and arduous mountain path.

He seemed to be walking leisurely along that path, which was only a handspan wide.

This path that was so tense, difficult, and scary for her.

He walks it so easily.

The Beom in her memories had always been like that.

He always faced paths that were dangerous and destined for death, yet he calmly overcame them.

Sometimes he was sad, sometimes he was happy, but even so, he steadfastly walked that path.

For that reason, he felt distant.

Her heart shrinks.

The emotions towards him congeal and stab at her chest.

Unlike her strongly clenched fist, why is her chest so sore?

‘I’m such an unfortunate woman.’

Her nose tingles for no reason.

She doesn’t feel sad, but tears well up in her eyes for no reason.

And it was at that moment that she heard the voices of the audience.

“Immortal Sa was amazing!”

“It was a pity! You’ll do better next time!”

“I’ll remember the Sa clan!”

“Who are you to remember! Immortal Sa, don’t cry! My heart aches even more!”

They were laughing and making a fuss.

But most of them were comforting and cheering her on.

Sa-ha stared blankly at the audience and burst into tears.

“Who is making my woman cry!”

“Hey, you! Do you call every woman who comes out your woman!”

“Immortal Sa, don’t cry!”

“Don’t cry, Immortal Sa!”

“Don’t cry, Clan Leader!”

“Yeah, don’t cry!”

It was quite a sight.

Sa-ha cried and laughed.

Although she had lost, she was recognized.

Crying and laughing.

She bowed to the audience without any sense of shame.

* * *

“Did you see that?”

“Yes, I saw it. Isn’t that a nostalgic name? Sa clan’s Fire Kirin…”

The clan leaders of the Five Great Clans, who were gathered in one place, watched her bowing with interest.

“As expected of the Fire Kirin’s bloodline.”

The Gon clan leader said with a hint of regret. He, too, must have been cheering for Sa-ha.

“How could that brave bloodline go anywhere? I heard she hasn’t even been an Upper Immortal for a hundred years. We should see that as amazing enough.”

The Mi clan leader praised her.

“The Mi clan leader is quick with information as always.”

“Isn’t it a family that has made great contributions to the Water Realm? Of course, I’m interested.”

Then, the other clan leaders’ expressions changed unpleasantly.

They all sensed that old matters would be brought up if they mixed words any further.

It was natural to save their words.

Woo, Gon, Gyo, Hoo, Mi.

The clan leaders of the five clans silently watched Sa-ha for a while.

But they were only looking at her, and they all seemed to be recalling old events.

But that was only for a moment.

“By the way, Clan Leader Hoo.”

“What is it, Clan Leader Gon?”

“Isn’t that Upper Immortal a descendant of your family?”

“Well, we don’t know that yet.”

“……….”

Clan Leader Gon saved his words.

It was not his place to interfere in other families’ affairs.

At that moment, the audience stirred once more.

Many Upper Immortals were competing, but one man stood out.

A man who wielded golden flames and scattered swords of beautiful flower petals.

“An arrogant name.”

“Is it the character for ‘heaven’ and ‘to violate’?”

It was quite an arrogant name, but the skill of the one who used that name was extraordinary.

Originally, the competition of cultivators does not come to a conclusion so quickly.

They fight for three days straight, or even spend a month probing each other.

And if it gets too long, they judge appropriately to determine the winner.

But not Celestial Beom.

“The fastest is an hour. The latest is an hour or half an hour.”

Surprisingly fast speed, it was truly unstoppable.

“It doesn’t even look like he’s putting in his full power.”

Among the Upper Immortals in the Still Serene Competition Arena, he was the only one leisurely strolling as if he were taking a walk.

“Isn’t he a strong candidate for the championship? He’s very unstoppable.”

Clan Leader Gon praised him, but Clan Leader Mi smiled unpleasantly and replied.

“He hasn’t even faced the children of the Five Great Clans yet. Isn’t it a little early to mention the championship candidates?”

The clan leaders of the other clans, except for Clan Leader Gon, all agreed.

This was because all the children of the other clans, except for the Gon clan, whose children were too young to participate, had participated.

“Wait and see. Judging by the position, it seems my youngest son will meet that Upper Immortal.”

It was the clan leader of the Hoo clan.

As he said, judging by the position, it seemed that the two would meet soon.

The audience also began to buzz.

The fight between a descendant of one of the Five Great Clans and an Upper Immortal from the frontier who was accumulating victories in an unstoppable manner.

They had no choice but to look forward to seeing how the two would fight.

But a moment later.

Clan Leader Hoo’s face turned red.

The Hoo clan’s Upper Immortal and Celestial Beom met, exchanged a few words, and the match was decided in an instant.

This was because the Hoo clan’s guy, who was careless, was knocked out by Beom’s punch.

Clan Leader Hoo’s face turned red and blue, and the other clan leaders laughed inwardly.

And it was exactly at that moment.

Flick.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the connection to the Still Serene Competition Arena was cut off.

The Upper Immortals’ figures were not visible.

As the audience began to buzz, the clan leaders of the Five Great Clans also glared.

“What is going on?”

“I wonder.”

The expression on the Great Celestial Martial Instructor’s face in the middle of the training hall was unusual.

“I had a strange feeling since they changed the rules of the Martial Arts Competition, but it seems like something is going to happen.”

But the clan leaders were relaxed, because this was none other than the Hweehee Palace.

The four sacred trees of the Hweehee Palace and the blue stones laid on the floor were not laid for nothing.

In addition to preventing intruders, a powerful formation is activated in an instant.

The Five Realms Time Formation, which contains the laws of time.

Even a Perfected Immortal would find it impossible to escape the law formation made of blue stones containing divine energy, with the sacred trees of the Four Realms holding it up.

“They did this in time for the Martial Arts Competition… the Collapsing Realm? The Death Realm? Or the Insect Realm?”

“You know that the Insect Realm guys don’t do such troublesome things.”

“Judging by the stench, I think it’s the guys from the former Death Realm.”

“Well, judging by how they ruin the atmosphere, it might be the work of the Collapsing Fiend Realm guys.”

Even if a Perfected Immortal from the Collapsing Fiend Realm attacked the Hweehee Palace, they were not afraid.

Moreover, the training hall of the Hweehee Palace now has the Great Celestial Martial Instructor, who can only be occupied by the strongest among the Fragrant Immortals of the Water Realm, and the five clan leaders of the Five Great Clans.

So what was there to worry about?

The clan leaders and the cultivators in the audience did not feel any particular tension.

They were just angry that they could not watch the competition that they had been enjoying.

“When will it start again?”

“What is it, what is it!”

“Please restart the competition!!”

The jeering grew louder.

But even so, the Great Celestial Martial Instructor only quietly closed his eyes.

The jeering from the audience was only getting louder when.

“Gasp!”

“No….”

“G, Great Celestial Martial Instructor!!”

Suddenly, the Great Celestial Martial Instructor began to shed black blood from his mouth with his eyes closed.

Those who were dumbfounded by what was going on soon saw a faint light burst out from the Still Serene Competition Arena.

“Aaaagh!”

“Aaaaaaaagh!”

The light quickly engulfed all directions.

Soon, the scenery of the training hall changed.

Their feet splashed.

The Cloud Sea disappeared, and black ink was at their feet.

The sky was red as if it contained blood.

Letters that seemed to be written in blood rose above the surface of the black sea water.

[仙殺返]

Immortal Slaughter Return.

Immortal, Slaughter.

And Return.

“The Immortal Slaughter is coming….”
