Chapter 54 Unification (2)
The Top-Heart Elbow, honed to a level that could be counted in the thousands, tens of thousands.
The front of his right foot planted firmly on the ground, the swung elbow became a terrifying weapon.
Infused with dense internal energy, it radiated an even more ominous aura.
Clang!
However, that single strike only managed to push the sword back momentarily.
Seeing this, Sang Won-gyeol froze in surprise.
‘His skill is nothing like the rumors!’
Along with Cham-hyeon’s intent, the unique heat of the Zahajin Qi seared his elbow.
This was bad. A surprise attack from behind was problematic enough, but failing to finish him in one blow was worse.
That alone was enough to cause another problem.
Murmurs.
Seeing the commotion around him, Sang Won-gyeol narrowed his eyes. Most of the voices were condemning him.
What followed from Sang Won-gyeol’s mouth was an accusation of cowardice.
“Even if you are a disciple of Huashan, how dare you disgrace our sect before its leader! I will show you an example right here!”
For words directed at the Daedomun of Shaanxi, the Huashan Sect, they lacked persuasive power.
But individual greed knows no bounds.
‘Even if the Black Dragon Sect committed atrocities…’
‘They aren’t as monstrously evil as the Demon-Exorcising Sect, are they? And besides, this is the martial world; before being fellow sects, they are rival factions.’
Hostile stares stung Gu Yangji’s skin.
As it was, all those gathered here harbored resentment toward the talk of Huashan and Zhongnan unifying the Shaanxi martial arts factions.
