Chapter 257: Pursuit-2
“Haah! Haah! Ugh!”
Jin So-eun, who had been running alongside Seon Woo-jin, gasping for breath, suddenly staggered.
Her legs had gone limp.
“Young lady!”
Having noticed her unease since earlier, Seon Woo-jin, who had been running beside her, managed to grab her just in time.
Thanks to him, Jin So-eun didn’t fall. She gasped for breath and said.
“I-I’m sorry, Young Master.”
Seon Woo-jin bit his lip.
Carrying Mya-ran and fleeing all night had been incredibly grueling, of course, but even accounting for that, Jin So-eun’s stamina was depleting far too quickly.
And Seon Woo-jin thought he knew exactly why.
‘The aftermath of fighting that Blood Lotus is still lingering.’
My energy had recovered, but my stamina hadn’t yet.
And that was entirely understandable.
For two days and nights straight, Jin So-eun had fought relying solely on her mental strength.
She had pushed both body and mind to their absolute limits.
So if she had already recovered, that might have been the strange part.
Failing to account for her physical condition was clearly his own mistake.
But he couldn’t afford to regret what had happened then or let her rest here out of consideration for her now.
Jin Tae-do was closing in at a terrifying speed from behind.
And behind him, the swordsmen of the Six Harmonies Sword Sect, the Pacheonjo, were pursuing him.
Grit!
Seon Woo-jin gritted his teeth.
If they caught up to him here in this state, everything would be over.
