Chapter 167 Summary (2)
Heartless.
Having killed countless people, he felt no hesitation in unleashing his killing intent upon his opponent, nor did he possess any compassion.
Ha Jin-ak sensed these qualities in the crow’s sword.
When he saw the crow’s sword cleave the moon and swing toward his own crown.
Ha Jin-ak’s eyes turned plum-blossom red. A sense of fulfillment filled his inner being, as if it were an ocean.
The internal energy drawn from the dragon vein of Hwasa Mountain flowed through Ha Jin-ak’s dantian, surging like a torrent into the Cheonse Maek.
Soon, the powerful energy rising from Ha Jin-ak’s twin palms embroidered the air freely.
He intended to block and halt the strike before the sword pierced his crown with the fierce energy forged from his Zha Jin Qi.
The crow, observing Ha Jin-ak’s fierce energy, unconsciously frowned.
‘Impressive.’
Having witnessed countless masters over a thousand years, the crow’s astonishment was all the greater.
Of course, that didn’t mean it was overwhelming.
Beneath the crow’s mask, a sneer deepened.
Caw caw caw…!
The crow’s cry echoed, and black demonic energy faintly spread through its wing bones.
The foul stench emanating from the demonic energy caused a momentary crack to appear on Ha Jin-ak’s face.
Recalling the Palm of the Eight Palms he had heard about repeatedly from Baek Dan-hyeon, Gu Yang-jeok, and Yu Jang-myeong, Ha Jin-ak’s knuckles turned white as he gripped his sword.
