Chapter 1870 – Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1870. Dying Would Be Easier. (5) ❀ ❀ ❀ Slash! The claw of the monstrous being scraped along Jo Geol’s side. The wound cut so deep that his white bones were visible, and the torn flesh quickly turned black. A suppressed groan escaped Jo Geol’s lips. It was a serious injury, but he had no time to deal with it. No, in fact, wounds like that were already engraved all over his body. Drenched in both his own blood and that of others, he swung his sword as if walking a tightrope over a cliff. “Keurgh!” His breathing was so ragged it felt like he might collapse at any moment. Jo Geol, who always tried to lighten grim situations with jokes, couldn’t bring himself to crack even the smallest quip now. Once again, he swung his sword forcefully to shake off the monsters clinging to him. ‘Not… anymore…’ He didn’t want to whimper. But it was too obvious now. At this rate, he wouldn’t survive past the next exchange. If he fell here, Mount Hua and the Alliance would eventual...

Chapter 1869 – Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1869. Dying Would Be Easier. (4) ❀ ❀ ❀ Red. Everything is red. In Cheong Myeong’s world, color fades away. The only hues that remain are red and black. In other words, everything is fading like the scenery of that day. The reality before his eyes overlaps with the scenes in his memory. Intermingled, crossing over, they press down on his mind. His shoulders, hunched without realizing it, trembled faintly. But of course Cheong Myeong knows. This is just something that happened in the past. What lies before him is nothing more than an illusion conjured by memory. Yes. He knows that. But knowing doesn’t mean he can control it. The fear that this horrific scene might become reality once more gripped Cheong Myeong’s feet and wouldn’t let go. It clung to him, relentlessly, to the point of a shudder. “Why are you trembling?” Jang Ilso smiled gently as he looked at Cheong Myeong, who was biting down on his lip. “Didn’t you say you could protect everything?” “Yo...

Chapter 1868 – Return of The Mount Hua Sect

Chapter 1868. Dying Would Be Easier. (3) ❀ ❀ ❀ “Be careful!” Yoon Jong’s shout pierced through Jo Geol’s ears. Normally, Jo Geol would have made a light joke in response to Yoon Jong’s worry. But now, there was no room for that. ‘Damn it!’ The only reason he could withstand this right now was thanks to his experience dealing with similar beings back in Hangzhou. If not for that, he might already be lying cold on the ground as a corpse. ‘Are these even human?’ It was completely different from facing normal martial artists. If he had to describe this strange sensation, it felt like going up against wild beasts with abnormally heightened strength. But there was no time to whine. “Taaah!” Jo Geol swung his sword with all his might. ‘I have to draw their attention.’ If he let up even a little, their attention would shift to the other sahyungs. And the sahyungs who hadn’t encountered these creatures in Hangzhou would be utterly unprepared and likely slaughtered. “...
