Chapter 350: Final Battle-2
Hae Cheong-yeon smiled brightly as she gazed at the forest where the enemies were hiding.
They thought they were hidden, but to her, who had reached the pinnacle of her cultivation, the approximate locations and movements of those hiding were all clearly perceptible.
And above all, none of them possessed a presence comparable to that of the Four Kings.
‘As expected.’
He had a vague suspicion it might be a trap.
Of all the figures of this era, the Sword Master he cared about most had broken his seclusion and appeared at precisely this moment. And to think he had even surpassed the Sword God and Thunder God.
Everything felt far too coincidental.
‘It’s as if he’s specifically calling out for me.’
But even as he thought that, he couldn’t help it.
Because this was the kind of trap you knew was coming, yet you had no choice but to fall for it.
Even if there was a slim chance it wasn’t a trap, Hae Cheong-yeon had no choice but to leave the Martial Arts Alliance to deal with him in secret.
And she had actually hoped this might be a trap after all.
It was far more comforting to believe this was a trap set to capture her than to accept the existence of someone who had truly inherited the progress of the Divine Brain and the Divine Sword.
And at this very moment, she could finally confirm that all of this had been nothing but a trap.
It was exactly as she had hoped.
Even a rough assessment suggests the ambushing enemy’s strength doesn’t seem inferior to what I’ve prepared.
