Chapter 113 The Truth (2)
‘Must I truly strike him down?’
Gu Yangji bit his lip lightly.
Frankly speaking, Zhi Shang was an opponent he found awkward to face with a sword.
Above all, it was devastating.
Not only had this veteran survivor of the war against the Gu Demon Sect been reduced to such a pitiful state, but there was no way to save him.
‘I could show mercy and spare his life, or report him elsewhere for punishment…’
But was that truly befitting the words of the Taishan Sword Sect?
Gu Yangji hesitated for a moment.
The Taishan Sword Sect’s glorious past had faded, and its current state, reduced to ashes, would surely become a topic of discussion throughout the martial world.
‘And what of Ji Shang here…’
Gu Yangji’s sword tip wavered in his anguish. In that instant, the sharp blade swung by the enemy flashed.
Clang!
Air surged, and his body briefly felt weightless. Gu Yangji realized the enemy’s physique had also reverted to its former, younger state.
Physical prowess honed over decades, combined with mastered sword techniques.
‘This will be difficult to handle.’
Thinking this, Gu Yangjeok shook his head, trying to shake off the worry.
It was an uncharacteristic thought.
As long as the opponent wielded demonic energy and had ties to the Eight Palms, he was ultimately an enemy to be faced.
Even if Jiksang was a warrior worthy of respect.
Gu Yangjeok’s sword, which had been on the defensive, shot straight upward.
It was a truly exquisite moment, causing the enemy’s gaze to waver briefly.
