Chapter 145: Their Movements
Yunnan Province, the Thirteenth Division.
The members of the Seventh Squad were gathered again this evening, practicing sparring as usual.
Na Seo-yu, the deputy leader of the Seventh Squad, exhaled deeply and re-gripped the sword ‘Yeonhong’ that Hae Cheong-yeon had given her.
Before her stood a woman, her posture relaxed, smiling faintly as if beckoning her to come forward.
This was an opponent Na Seo-yu absolutely did not want to lose to.
“Haah!”
Clang!
With a battle cry, Na Seo-yu charged toward her opponent.
Now a fully matured top-tier swordswoman, her footwork was swift, and her sword strike appeared incredibly sharp.
But her sword ultimately failed to reach her opponent.
For the black fragments, writhing as if alive, had already coiled around her.
Swoosh!
“Yik!”
Na Seo-yu spun her body, scattering sword shadows in all directions.
Shwaaah!
But the black river fragments seemed to absorb her sword strikes, showing little damage.
Thud-thud-thud-thud!
It merely flinched momentarily before tightening its grip once more.
“Guh!”
Na Seo-yu had no choice but to leap backward, trying to retreat.
She had to get out of the blade’s range first.
But that wasn’t easy either.
The black, serpentine river current refused to let her go.
Sssshhh!
The thin tip of the river snake whipped out, swiftly coiling around Na Seo-yu’s leg.
“!”
Thud!
Na Seo-yu’s body could no longer retreat in midair and halted completely in the air.
