The black shadow stepped back as if he had expected Ak Chusan’s attack. Because of that, Ak Chusan’s attack missed.
The moment he faced the black shadow, Ak Chusan felt as if ice water was rushing through his veins.
He couldn’t see the newcomer’s face because he had the lower part of his face covered with a scarf, but his two exposed eyes were enough to make Ak Chusan froze.
It was the first time Ak Chusan had ever seen such completely still eyes that did not contain any emotion.
Ak Chusan raised his qi and opened his mouth,
“Who are you? How dare you interfere with the matters of the Bamboo Sea clan?!”
“Pyo-wol.”
“Pyo-wol?”
Ak Chusan frowned.
It’s a name he has never heard of. He knew a lot of famous warriors in Jianghu, but he had never heard of the name Pyo-wol. If so, this meant that he was a rising warrior, not an old one.
So he asked.
“Are you new in Jianghu?”
“Is that important? You’re asking useless questions.”
“What’s important then?”
“Your life.”
“You talk about my life as if it’s yours.”
Ak Chusan’s jaw muscles twitched.
Pyo-wol’s words hurt his pride.
Pyo-wol looked at Ak Chusan without saying a word.
The person in front of him was obviously a threat. He definitely seemed to be the strongest among the warriors he met in Sichuan.
However, the reason why Pyo-wol was not afraid of him was because of the man he met before.
Fengzon.
Fengzon was the strongest among the warriors Pyo-wol met. Using Fengzon as his reference, Pyo-wol’s standards of a strong person naturally increased.
Ak Chusan was strong.
However, he still had many openings and weaknesses as compared to Fengzon. He was just not enough for Pyo-wol to feel a sense of crisis.
Pyo-wol did not remove his gaze from Ak Chusan. He said to Soma,
“Are you okay?”
“I’m not okay at all! It hurts a lot!”
Soma answered with a frown.
Soma pretended to be quite dignified when he talked to Mok Gahye awhile ago, but now that Pyo-wol was here before him, his true feelings came out.
In fact, the wounds inflicted by Ak Chusan were quite serious. If his wounds were left unattended, Soma’s life would be in danger.
Pyo-wol said to Mok Gahye,
“Take Soma with you.”
“But—”
“My party is waiting for you outside of the Dead Forest. Take him to them.”
“Okay.”
Mog Gahye could not help but nod.
The moment she held Soma in her arms and took a step forward, Ak Chusan copied her.
His step was exactly towards the direction Mog Gahye was going.
His meaning was clear.
He would not let Mok Gahye and Soma escape so easily. But in the next moment, Ak Chusan could not help but doubt his own eyes.
Pyo-wol had already stood in between him and Mok Gahye.
Pyo-wol had moved without him realizing it.
After opening her eyes and moving her steps, Ikga-hae slightly bowed her head to Pyo-wol, and there was no such thing as emotion. There was no longer any fear on her face.
Because they believe in Pyo-wol, they can confidently walk with their backs exposed.
Gongbu was still in her hands, but Ak Chusan did not dare to steal it anymore. It had already become impossible to approach her without going through Pyo-wol.
Umgil!
Ak Chusan’s eyes twitched.
He found it hard to accept the current situation.
He had never experienced a situation like this in his entire life while traveling in Jianghu. For him, this current situation was an unbearable disgrace.
Ak Chusan held up the Lion Sword and pointed it at Pyo-wol.
“I admit that you are strong. I have never seen anyone like you in my life.”
He knows for sure now.
Pyo-wol had been aiming for this situation from the beginning.
On his way here, he saw a terrifying sight. Several bodies were hanging from the trees.
Ordinary warriors would never mutilate and disgrace a dead body like that. It was an outrageous act that no ordinary person would commit.
But the effect was undeniable.
Such a sight caused intense fear in the warriors who entered the Dead Forest.
From the beginning, he shook the hearts of the warriors of the two factions by showing unimaginable cruelty. Because their hearts were weak, they could not bear the shock and fear that followed. Thus they scattered from their battle positions like grains of sand.
The Bamboo Sea clan had established themselves long ago that its warriors had already formed a strong solidarity. They thought that this was the reason that stopped their warriors from fleeing and dispersing so easily unlike warriors of the Heavenly Silver Marketplace, since their sect just recently gained its momentum. s o u n d les s wind 21
They all assumed it was just a coincidence that the Heavenly Silver Marketplace warriors were unable to overcome their fear. But looking at the circumstantial evidence now, all of this was part of the picture Pyo-wol drew.
He doesn’t know how big the picture Pyo-wol drew, but so far it was progressing the way he wanted it.
“But you made a big mistake. Do you know what it is?”
“………….”
“Your mistake is that you revealed yourself right in front of me. I would have had a hard time finding you if you had just kept hiding and plotting your schemes like you did a while ago. But now that you overestimated yourself and came out, you’ll be paying the price.”
“You talk a lot.”
Ak Chusan’s face contorted like a demon at Pyo-wol’s interruption.
Pyo-wol pulled down the scarf that had been covering his face until now.
Seeing his true face, Ak Chusan forgot his anger and had an expression of admiration for a moment. patreon.com/soundlesswind21
Pyo-wol’s face alone was enough to chew the whole world. But he soon came to his senses and glared at Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol moved closer to him and continued,
“When someone begins to talk a lot, it means they’re scared.”
“Me? Scared? Say something that makes sense, you bastard!”
“Then attack. Why are you talking so much?”
“You bastard!”
Ak Chusan’s anger exploded at Pyo-wol’s repeated provocations.
He is a veteran warrior. With his great experiences, he had learned to become cunning and sly. So it had been a long time since he lost his reason like this.
Nothing was holding him back anymore, so he unfolded his Lion King technique with all his might.
Hoo-hung! s ou ndl es s wi nd 21
Huge waves flew towards Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol used Snake Steps to avoid the waves.
The waves that passed by him cut down a huge tree.
The wave was emitted through the use of qi.
The essence of qi wave is the same with channeling qi on a weapon. The weapon’s destructive power and sharpness dramatically increases.
The power of the qi wave unleashed by a warrior like Ak Chusan was no less than that. Rather, it was better than it in terms of efficiency. It produces power comparable to that of a qi sword with less effort.
Shiak! Shiaak!
One after another, the qi wave flew towards Pyo-wol.
Pyo-wol executed his Snake Steps and moved forward, dodging all the qi waves.
Ak Chusan thought that Pyo-wol looked exactly like a snake.
‘Snakes are usually finished with their necks.’
Ak Chusan momentarily gave up on attacking from afar and ran forward. He was thinking of narrowing the distance between him and Pyo-wol and then slitting his throat.
Pyo-wol came into his eyes.
It was slithering like a snake, rapidly closing the gap.
