Chapter 153 Sword Cave (2)
“What on earth is going on…?”
Gyu Yang-jeok frowned at the relentless barrage of explosions.
‘Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like they’re using explosives…’
Bang! Boom!
Outside the barrier, masked figures lined up and unleashed their martial arts without pause.
Particularly noticeable among them were the many wielding bows.
Shooting arrows meant they intended to kill everyone without leaving witnesses, ensuring no one reported it to the authorities.
Gu Yangji glanced back at Mantongzi, who was maintaining the barrier.
“Are you all right?”
“…Guh, you call that asking?”
Man Tong-ja, clenching his teeth while drenched in cold sweat, looked extremely precarious.
Above all, the sharp arrows were pressing down on him.
If this continued, he wouldn’t just fail to maintain the barrier—he’d suffer fatal wounds.
Gu Yangji drew his sword and charged forward.
Whoosh-!
Using the Moon-Crossing Shadow Step that linked the Plum Blossom Paths, he instantly leapt over a wall as tall as a man and sliced through the throat of the masked figure hiding below.
At that moment, Gu Yangji’s eyes widened.
‘Black Crow…’
The characters engraved on the masked man’s neck flashed black for an instant before vanishing.
Could there be some meaning in the phrase ‘Black Crow’?
Gu Yangjeok tucked this thought away as he charged forward.
Yoo Jangmyeong also unleashed his divine technique to its fullest.
“Mantongja, fall back for a moment!”
At Gu Yangjeok’s command, Mantongzi, as if expecting this, used Daewong as a shield and retreated to a safe zone.
