Chapter 330: A Cold-Blooded Choice
I held Jin Xiaoze and plunged down the mountain peak.
As we plunged vertically down the thousand-foot cliff face, the wind slicing past my body felt as sharp as a blade.
The time it took to descend to the bottom was but a moment.
Then it soared over the forest like a bird of prey.
With every ounce of his mind and strength.
When had he ever exerted himself so completely in lightness technique?
When he escaped from the Dark Cave Sect?
Or when he flew to the Sunwoo Clan to save his father?
The touch of Jin Xiaoze on my body felt damp and soaked through with blood.
Her body temperature had also grown considerably cold.
It was because she had lost too much blood.
Suddenly lowering my gaze toward the fallen maiden, I noticed the large holes pierced through her front and back.
It was horrifying.
It was because Lady Cheongyeon—no, ‘it’—had pulled its hands out of her belly and torn it open.
Even if she were already dead, it wouldn’t have been surprising at all.
Perhaps it was already too late.
But having thought that far, I gritted my teeth and shouted loudly.
“Don’t be ridiculous! Who do you think I’m sending you to?”
Then I yelled at her.
“Young Master Jin! Do not lose your mind! I have made myself perfectly clear! You cannot go anywhere without my permission!”
She was clearly dying.
But at least not yet.
And though ‘it’ wouldn’t know, the great physician, Elder Mukrang, was by my side.
So it wasn’t time to give up hope yet.
