Chapter 57: The Five Brothers of Doksu – Part 3
Heo Gyeong, the Sword Master of the Mountain Sword Sect, gritted his teeth as he looked at the countless warriors visible across the plain.
Beyond the plain, Huang Janggon, the renowned peak master of the Zhengxie Sect, stood at the head of a formation of over five hundred Zhengxie Sect warriors.
He suddenly glanced behind him.
Even including the ronin, fewer than two hundred warriors came into view.
Most of them were second-rate warriors whose skills fell short compared to the Zhengxie faction.
It was heartbreaking.
This was all because the elite forces had been wiped out in the previous battle, and the sudden advance of the Zhengxie Sect had prevented them from receiving aid from the Yun Clan, with whom they had formed an alliance.
Then came the voice of Iron Fist Hero Huang Zhanggon.
It was a booming voice, resonating through the air with full force.
– I thought I’d see you at the last meeting, but it’s only now that we meet, Lord Heo!
Those words were likely a sarcastic jab at the Mountain Sword Sect for having proposed the meeting first, only to cowardly ambush them.
Heo Kyung, unable to find a retort, gritted his teeth again.
But Hwang Jang-gon wasn’t finished yet.
– Ah, right. I wonder if you’ve heard any news about the Department Head who sent you in my place back then! He asked me to pass on his regards to the Gate Master since he was traveling far away! Hahahahaha!
The loss from that ambush wasn’t just the two hundred elite warriors.
