Chapter 1924 - Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1924. What Is It That You Desire? (4) The sharp tip of the sword moved slowly. The cold air of dawn split apart before that movement. Slowly, yet distinctly. And so the sword moved, and moved again. It was light. It was smooth. At times powerful, and at times immeasurably heavy. Countless meanings gathered upon the sword tip only to scatter again and again. Like waves rolling toward the shore, the intent contained within the sword remained the same, yet also changed each time. But if someone were to watch it, they might judge it to be nothing more than an unbearably slow sword strike. A Blunt Sword. [ Dungeom . 둔검(鈍劍). Literally “Blunt Sword”. A sword principle emphasizing weight, restraint, and depth over sharpness and speed.] A principle least suited to Mount Hua's sword was unfolding through Cheong Myeong's Dark Fragrance Plum Blossom Sword. “......Hoo.” Cheong Myeong slightly lifted his gaze toward the sky.

If one encountered a bear made savage before entering hibernation, one had to give up on the idea of dying cleanly. “Still, it looks like risking your life paid off. This should be enough to survive the winter.” “That’s right.” Harhan glanced back at the hides he had carried on his back. They were crudely treated hides, but there was quite a lot of them.
