Chapter 143 Stirrings
Byeok-un’s death.
Namgung-woo’s eyes narrowed as he felt the faint life force behind him extinguish.
‘So, it finally happened….’
If Namgung-woo had truly intended to save him, using Transmission of Internal Energy and guiding True Qi, could Byeok-un have survived?
Perhaps he could have. Though he would have lost the immense power he possessed as a Peak Transcendence Grandmaster, falling to the level of a commoner.
But neither Namgung-woo nor Byeok-un had spoken of it.
For Namgung-woo’s task now was not to save Byeok-un, but to eliminate the enemy before him.
But was that even possible?
The fiend was perfectly mimicking Namgung-woo’s Martial Arts.
Infinite Steps, Thirteen Lightning Sword Strikes, Azure Sky Boundless Sword Art—everything.
It even mimicked the Path of Pervading Wind that Byeok-un had displayed, keeping pace with Namgung-woo’s movements as he tried to foresee a step ahead with his Azure Serenity Eyes.
While it couldn’t quite replicate the Azure Serenity Eyes, showing a minuscule difference, the Ghost Gate Lord compensated with the overwhelming physical abilities befitting the Black Ghost Gate’s master.
It felt like playing rock-paper-scissors against himself in a mirror.
Yet, there was no feeling of hardship, despair, or helplessness whatsoever.
Rather, he felt joy.
He observed and learned.
Through the Ghost Gate Lord, who perfectly visualized the unconscious habits that were difficult to discern even with repeated self-reflection and introspection.
