Chapter 231 Return (3)
Lies.
Gu Yangjeok screamed silently, his face drained of color. It felt as if his soul was boiling with rage.
“…Lies.”
Gu Yangjeok brought his trembling hand to Yu Jangmyeong’s neck. A faint pulse beat there, but it was a breath that would soon cease.
Mantongzi seemed no different, merely twitching slightly. Beside him, Daewoong lay sprawled on the floor, moaning.
Gu Yangjeok’s face contorted wildly. It was a scene he could scarcely believe.
His head felt like it would explode.
Gu Yangjeok clutched his chest and rose from his seat.
“Don’t lie to me.”
“……”
Stop denying it. Accept it.
Gu Yangjie was filled with rage at the emotionless face the monster presented. Though his body creaked from the battle with Jiao Gangtian, his will transcended his physical limits.
Swish!
The moment the sword was drawn, the air itself bent and warped. A strike faster than light enveloped the monster’s entire body.
Clang!
As if striking diamond, a harsh sound reverberated through the plum blossom valley. The sword bounced away, his wrist throbbing. Had he relaxed his grip even for an instant, it would have snapped.
“You…”
Gu Yangjeok staggered, aiming the sword at the monster. His bloodshot eyes burned with pure, unyielding will.
“Isn’t this what you did!”
“Why me?”
The monster’s face seemed covered by a thick mask.
“Do you not even believe the investigator’s words? How could I, who was sent back in time, possibly try to harm a disciple of the Huashan Sect?”
