Chapter 177 Bound (2)
“I have many questions for you.”
Gu Yangji took a step forward. That single movement instantly made the air turn treacherous, surging as if it would tear through flesh.
As he did so, Gu Yangji thought.
What exactly was the martial skill Ma Yi possessed?
Even in his past life, he had only seen it a few times. To Gu Yangjie, Ma Yi was an unprecedented existence.
‘Truthfully, Palma is like that too.’
If Palma revealed his goals outright, Ma Yi was a vicious schemer who wore a sinister smile to the very end.
His heart pounded relentlessly against his chest. His veins grew hot, riding the summer wind, bulging brutally.
Ignorance bred caution, and the prudence that followed slowed Gu Yangji’s actions.
Ma Yi stared blankly at Gu Yangji’s figure before suddenly uttering a single word.
“Are you afraid?”
“……What?”
At the absurd question, Gu Yang-jeok nearly let out a hollow laugh.
‘Fear?’
Two of the Eight Palms were dead, and one had his arm severed by the Ten Thousand Arrows.
Given the current situation, the Eight Palms themselves could turn on each other at any moment.
So what was there to fear from Ma-ui, who wasn’t even one of the Eight Palms?
Just as Gu Yangji gripped the hilt of his sword, Ma Yi let out a mocking chuckle.
“Have you ever thought it was too easy?”
“…….”
“An unintended stroke of luck. A fantastic opportunity where the justification you need materializes instantly!”
Seemingly overcome by some emotion, Ma Yi’s clenched fist trembled violently.
Seeing this other side of Ma Yi, who was always cold and scheming, Gu Yangji frowned slightly.
