Chapter 128 Nameless (2)
“In my twilight years, I get to witness such a splendid spectacle!”
Nameless wore an uncharacteristically gentle smile.
For Gu Yangji, it was truly fortunate.
Had he charged in immediately after using the Thunderclap Heaven-Shattering Strike and unleashed another technique, he would surely have been defeated without lasting more than a few exchanges.
But Mu-myeong stood still afterward.
It was likely because the move Gu Yangji had displayed had eased Mu-myeong’s pent-up frustration.
The outcome left Gu Yangji feeling regretful.
‘If only I had a little more skill…’
Couldn’t he have fought Mu-myeong to the fullest?
Couldn’t he have found the key to advancing his martial arts even further within that battle?
It was merely an exchange of a few moves. The fleeting emotion he felt gnawed at him like a sharp fang.
“Don’t feel sorry for me.”
At those words, Gu Yang-ji lifted his head.
Mu-myeong’s face was filled with a solemnity never seen before.
You clashed with me and prevailed; you have earned the right to stand tall.
His gaze seemed to convey these very words.
Only then did Gu Yangji relax his chest.
The nameless man smiled.
“At your age, is there truly anyone else who has achieved what you have? Truly admirable. You have mastered every subtlety I taught you.”
“…It doesn’t suit me.”
As Gu Yangji awkwardly stroked his upper lip, Wuming turned his head toward Wei Jinchuan.
“Did you see that?”
“Yes.”
“That is the mountain you must climb. And the wall you must breach.”
