Chapter 166 Summary (1)
By the time his qi cultivation neared completion.
Gu Yang Jie narrowed his eyes at the sound of footsteps outside.
It was already evening. Considering he’d started cultivating at noon, considerable time had passed.
The amount of internal energy filling his dantian exceeded one cycle of the Chinese zodiac.
It easily surpassed that of most internal energy masters.
Nevertheless, Gu Yangji remained tense and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
A voice devoid of any tension. Gu Yangji chuckled softly and opened the door.
The face peering through the open doorway was that of a thoroughly exhausted Zhi Sha Hong.
“You’re supposed to be resting, not tormenting patients to vent your frustrations.”
“Didn’t you bring this upon yourself?”
“……Well, that’s true, but—”
A moment of silence passed. Jik Sahong scratched the back of his head awkwardly, glancing at Gu Yangjeok.
“How’s your body holding up?”
“Just a slight tingling around my neck.”
“Ah. I see.”
As Jik Sa-heung fidgeted, reaching for something in his front pocket, Gu Yang-jeok chuckled and stopped him.
“Just kidding, just kidding. There’s no way I’d suffer a fatal injury from a finger, right?”
“Then why today…?”
“Because I wanted to see if a guest had arrived.”
At those words, Zhi Sha Hong’s eyes turned bloodshot.
“You plan to wipe them out?”
“Wipe them out… that’s wishful thinking. Just knowing who came would suffice. If it’s someone here to kill me or the Great Hero Zhi, they’d surely have a name in the martial world.”
