Chapter 99: The Lonely Sword 1
The White Ghost Corps finally met Baek Moo-jin, whom they had so desperately wanted to see, but they could only feel a sense of distance and were unable to speak a word.
Moreover, Baek Gwi-dan’s leader, Cheon Hwi-myeong, was also in a state of profound shock.
Baek Moo-jin was too different from the image, martial prowess, and aura he had imagined.
Baek Moo-jin vanished into the rain like that.
His appearance and disappearance were literally like a phantom.
Walking through the pouring rain, Baek Moo-jin only discovered the path where the Left Minister of the Sunghwa Palace and the lightness skill duel had taken place, and only then did he correctly turn toward the Jingga Trading Company.
The battle with Yun Jaseo still lingered in Baek Moo-jin’s mind like an afterimage. Baek Moo-jin was suddenly struggling to organize the thoughts that had surfaced during the fight.
The first step was modifying the Ice Wheel Sword Barrier.
The Ice Wheel Sword Barrier was a type of protective shield created by scattering cold air along the sword’s trajectory.
Baek Moo-jin could create a protective barrier with similar effects to the Ice Wheel Sword Barrier using his own energy.
However, this shield was fixed in position.
Fixed meant it was passive, deployable only when defending against enemy attacks.
‘Could it be transformed into an offensive capability?’
This vague curiosity had become an obsession that stubbornly gripped Baek Moo-jin.
Walking down the street, Baek Moo-jin thrust his right palm toward the pouring rain, unleashing a White Flower Palm. He then overlapped his left palm with his right, moving his hand as if drawing a sword, attempting to transform the coldness of the White Flower Palm into a protective barrier.
