Chapter 232: Turbulent Nine Dragons (11)
The duel was fierce.
The master unleashed flames relentlessly, as if Chukyung had been reborn, attempting to incinerate Baek Sang-ji.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
The heat was so intense it melted the blue steel forming the grand martial arts arena.
But Baek Sang-ji was no pushover either.
Pah!
Each time he swung his sword, crimson slashes split the world.
Each strike contained a barrage of blows, each one utterly deadly.
Moreover, the deceit he harbored had added formidable power to such sword strikes.
‘Push back.’
The master began to be pushed back.
POW!
With each pass of Baek Sang-ji’s sword, saturated with his aura, new wounds began to appear on the master’s body.
The only silver lining was that the intense heat meant the bleeding wouldn’t last long.
“Should I go in?”
He hesitated for a moment, but quickly shook his head.
Kwaaang! Whoosh! Flash!
He didn’t have the confidence to step between those two.
If this were a game, area-of-effect skills wouldn’t damage allies, but this was the martial arts world.
If I tried to squeeze in between them, the dragon’s breath would melt me away in less than ten seconds.
Amidst that awkwardness, a warm hand wrapped around my shoulder.
“It’ll be alright.”
It was Taecheongjin.
Right.
If push came to shove, the recluses would step in; the worst-case scenario wouldn’t happen.
After all, there was the absolute master, the Green Dragon Sect Leader, and the Blue Dragon Sect Leader, who had seen the pinnacle of the pinnacle.
