Chapter 86 Jinju Eon-ga (4)
“Agh, ugh, you demonic bastard…….”
Even breathing seemed agonizing. After wheezing for a long while, Eonyang-gun finally managed to utter a single sentence.
Swallowing saliva felt like tasting hell itself. It was as if a plow were being dragged through his throat.
That wasn’t to say any other part of him was intact.
From his limbs to his bones and muscles, down to his dantian.
Even if he lucked out and survived here, could he still function as a human?
His martial path was as good as over; there was no going back. He might end up dragged around like a monster in some traveling troupe.
That misery seemed to melt away Un-ga’s mind. Better to die than live like that.
If only he had a dagger, if only his hand could move, he wanted to plunge it into his own chest.
But he couldn’t even do that.
‘Can I not even uphold a warrior’s pride?!’
Yongyang-gun could no longer maintain the dignity of a warrior. Hot tears streamed from his eyes.
“Cowardly…!”
“……”
But Gu Yangjeok merely looked down at Unyanggun with a cold gaze.
“Do you truly think it cowardly?”
“If you’re going to mock me, then just kill me…!”
“How ridiculous.”
Watching Gu Yangjeok speak thus, Unyanggun realized he wasn’t saying it to mock or instill despair.
“If you had come to the Huashan Sect and successfully exterminated it, what deeds would you have committed? Have you ever considered that?”
“…….”
“Stealing the secret manuals, torturing the core disciples or junior disciples to extract the Guishan Martial Arts… That’s the common fate of exterminated sects. Am I not right?”
