Chapter 101: Stone Breaker, Sword Name, Wall Climb 1
Dokgo Hyeong took a deep breath while staring at the rock.
No one doubted he could shatter the rock. The problem was that he didn’t know how Baek Moo-jin would react, so he had to demonstrate overwhelming power.
Dugu Xing stood at a crossroads of choice.
Should he pierce through?
Or would he slice it apart?
Shall we crush them with the sword?
Each had its own merits and drawbacks.
Dokgo Se-ga and Baek Moo-jin watched with anticipation, wondering how Dokgo Haeng would shatter the rock.
After deliberating, Dokgo Haeng lowered his stance, bringing his jet-black sword down in a seemingly ordinary downward strike.
‘Pierce first, then shatter the interior.’
His choice was not about technique.
He intended to shatter it completely with pure internal energy following the thrust.
Dokgo Haeng spoke softly to those around him.
“Everyone, step back.”
Shrapnel could fly, potentially killing those nearby.
At Dugu Xing’s command, the crowd retreated in perfect order. Only the Dugu brothers and Bai Wuzhen remained close by, arms crossed, watching Dugu Xing.
The technique Dugu Xing had prepared was the Merciless Path.
A simple thrust.
It was the first technique martial artists of the Dokgo Clan learned.
Added to that was Dugu Xing’s lightness skill, propelling him forward in a straight line.
A leap followed by the Merciless Path…
As if he had sprung up, Dugu Xing suddenly appeared before the rock. He slightly twisted the jet-black heavy sword he had pulled back with all his might.
