Chapter 125 Grudges and Favors
The sword lunged out instinctively.
Was it an instinct etched into her very blood?
Namgung Sol’s body moved before her mind, driven by a blind hostility incomparable to what she felt when she first met Song Chae-ji, who had claimed to be an acquaintance of Namgung-woo. Employing Flying Swallows, the fastest form of the Swallow Swirl Footwork, she closed the distance. Then, unleashing Soaring Dragon Traversing the Sky, the ultimate technique of the Azure Sky Flying Swallow Sword Art, she truly intended to sever her opponent’s neck, cleaving through the air.
Her footwork, like a flock of swallows taking flight, blurred the vision. Her flight, mocking even dragons as it traversed the sky, instantly closed the remaining distance.
It was the strongest strike Namgung Sol could currently unleash. Yet, even that was nothing more than a swallow’s playful trick to her opponent.
It was Sword Qi infused with Internal Energy beyond its limits, causing her acupoints to throb with pain. If nothing else, Namgung Sol’s total Internal Energy ranked among the top tier of Peak Transcendence Masters. Thus, this particular Sword Qi boasted a power unbelievable for someone who had just entered the Peak Transcendence Cultivation Realm.
Yet, it was blocked by a single sword strike.
“Is that your best?”
The casual question made Namgung Sol’s anger surge. Even more so because it wasn’t a taunt, but merely a simple question to confirm a fact.
