Chapter 49
As Dan Woo-sung continued closing the distance, Dokgo Han instinctively stepped back, widening the gap.
The dynamic of pursuer and prey.
Instinctively realizing his opponent was a formidable force, Dokgo Han felt strangely short on time to think.
Time remains unchanged, but when one’s psyche shrinks, that is how it feels. This means that despite his formidable strength, Dokgo Han lacked real combat experience. He had particularly little experience being intimidated by men stronger than himself. After all, no one had ever tried to kill the young master of the Dokgo family.
…
Dan Woo-sung was not the sort of man who couldn’t grasp this aspect of Dokgo Han’s psychology.
As if refusing to grant him time to think, he unleashed his lightness skill, instantly closing the distance.
They moved like hunters closing in on their prey.
Whoosh!
Dan Woosung unleashed a fist wind, forcibly locking the trajectory of the middle sword.
Clang!
Dukgo Han had no choice but to raise his middle sword to block, when Danwoo Sung suddenly appeared before him and reached out to snatch the sword.
Dokgo Han countered with a left-handed strike.
Dan Woosung’s hand shape changed from a hook to a fist, and in that brief instant, he added shoulder power to deliver a crushing strike.
Thud!
Dukgo Han’s left shoulder was forced backward. Spinning to regain his balance, Dukgo Han leapt into the air, spinning twice sideways before landing. He intended to create distance again, no matter what.
