Chapter 70: Dispatch to the Ascension Pavilion (5)
A great sword laden with blades aimed for Dang Yanggang’s neck.
Kwaaang!
He barely blocked it, avoiding injury, but the force of the blow slammed his body into a thick tree trunk.
Yet, it wasn’t painful.
In fact, it was almost pleasurable.
‘How long has it been since I fought like this?’
Yes, it had been five years.
Five years since the Crown Prince died in an assassination.
Three years in the Brain Prison after that.
Two years confined to the Outer Hall after receiving a pardon.
He had crushed the Shima Lian Gansu Branch in between, but that was an exception.
He hadn’t fought at full strength, hiding his martial prowess.
Pouring his full power into battle after so long felt refreshing.
“Kuh-huh.”
“Are you mocking me?!”
The burly man who had caught up swung his sword in a sweeping strike.
It was a blow packed with the same immense force as before.
There was nowhere to flee.
He had no choice but to block it.
Kwaaang!
Dang Yanggang’s iron mace collided precisely with the sword’s blade.
“Guh!”
The recoil was immense.
His arm felt like it might snap off, but he endured.
His innate divine strength made it possible.
“You bastard!”
His attack blocked, the burly man slammed his body into him.
His intent was clear: get as close as possible and finish him off.
But.
He wasn’t alone.
Behind Yanggang stood a formidable ally: Dangpal.
A dagger shot like lightning flew toward the giant’s chest.
The giant gritted his teeth.
He’d retreated several times from the same attack. He couldn’t retreat this time.
