Chapter 74: The Crimson Sword of the Red Sun-1
Bi Sayeong knew full well he had no chance of winning. Even if it were just the initial phase of the peak, it would be impossible. But judging by the length of that sword’s aura, it didn’t seem like even the initial phase.
If he clashed head-on, he would undoubtedly be split in two in a single strike.
But he couldn’t run away either.
Leaving Jeong-an behind to flee was not only humiliating, but it was also clear what would happen to her if he abandoned her here.
Biseaeng gritted his teeth.
‘I didn’t want to risk my life…’
This time, it seemed unavoidable.
Meanwhile, Jangsansa-sama’s second-in-command, Myeongdaesul, who watched Biseoyoung, thought he understood why the fool was recklessly trying to take him on.
‘It must be because that woman was captured.’
He was probably this woman’s lover.
That made it all the more intriguing.
What I wanted to see was the expression that woman would show when she witnessed Jeong-in’s death right before her eyes.
He intended to show her the most cruel expression possible.
Myeong Daesul, who had been walking slowly, suddenly lunged forward.
“Die!”
Thud!
But Myeong Daesul, who had intended to immediately strike and sever the man’s arm, found himself uttering a startled voice instead.
“Huh?”
Despite his surprise charge, the distance between them hadn’t closed.
The enemy had leaped forward while simultaneously retreating backward, maintaining the exact same distance between them.
