I doubt there will be anything more to the Hong swordsmen, much less to their swords. If what we known now can be used to generalise, there is an emerging pattern that describes Hongs' appearance in the story.  Select and stick to a "damsel in distress" among the less important (female) characters, bring out an ignition sword that holds some folklore value in their culture, easily lose to one of the more important--or at least more interesting--characters in the current lineup, and leave the story.  I admit that the most recent Hong has yet to leave, but I suspect that's just a matter of time; he's hardly in it anyway.
