Chapter 217 Cheonma (3)
Kuuuung…!
As Cheonma channeled his lower dantian energy, the air trembled violently and roared.
Following this, a dark-colored energy solidified, enveloping Cheonma’s arms.
But it didn’t end there.
“……!”
As the energy writhing at his fingertips instantly coalesced into the shape of a sword, Gu Yangjeok’s expression stiffened.
‘Just how focused and formidable is Cheonma’s internal energy!’
Without such focus, it wouldn’t have even coalesced into shape, let alone form a sword. Without such power, it wouldn’t have properly shaped into a dagger.
Yet the Celestial Demon possessed both qualities perfectly.
The being he had dismissed as mere legend had now materialized before him.
Cold sweat trickled down the side of his face.
Yet Gu Yangjeok did not lose his resolve, his gaze sharpening.
-We might all die here.
-…….
At those words, the warriors did not deny it, but answered by silently tightening their fists.
It was unavoidable.
Regardless of the reason, the fact remained that they had infiltrated the imperial palace and were now facing off against the Heavenly Horse.
Moreover, the imperial army was watching them from afar.
Even if they won, they couldn’t be certain the young emperor or Do-cheol could make them retreat.
If there was a reason they had come despite anticipating this situation…
Gu Yangjeok gazed at the Heavenly Demon, then looked up at the imperial palace and the sky beyond.
‘At first, I only cared about the safety of the Huashan Sect.’
