Chapter 232 Return (4)
Whoosh!
The Heavenly Flow Flower Cloud Sword, forged from spiritual energy, descended upon the monster. Simultaneously, Ha Jin-ak thrust off the ground, driving his heel down into the monster’s knee.
“……!”
The monster stiffened its face and flicked its wrist.
A gust of wind shot from his palm, instantly striking Ha Jin-ak’s solar plexus. The monster’s elbow swept upward, grazing Ha Jin-ak’s foot.
Crack!
The sound of a twisted ankle echoed as Ha Jin-ak’s expression contorted. The forced endurance of pain was etched clearly on his face.
The monster smiled softly.
“Though the martial arts of the Huashan Sect originated from me, do you think you can defeat me?”
“…Guh.”
At those words, Ha Jin-ak let out a small sigh.
If Baek Dan-hyeon’s story was true, victory was impossible.
No matter how many branches spread out in different directions, they could never escape their roots.
Much less when it was the lineage of the Northern School of Taoism, passed down since Liu Dongbin. Ha Jin’ak could never escape it.
In contrast, Hwadae Tong had studied the martial arts of the Zhenjin Sect and inherited the Heavenly River North Star Formation created by Wang Zhongyang.
Since the martial arts of the Huashan School were said to have drawn in part from the Heavenly River Northern Dipper Formation, how could one possibly escape the gaze of someone who had learned it!
‘Still…’
Ha Jin-ak shot a sidelong glance at Gu Yang-jeok, who still sat there with a dazed expression.
