Chapter 177: Can a Sapling Topple an Old Oak? (2)
CRACKLE!
The dueling stage, shrouded in black energy, trembled violently. The crowd strained their eyes, but all they could see was the swirling dark qi. Nevertheless, they didn't need to see it to know that an unimaginable battle was unfolding within.
Even from a distance, they could feel the chilling sharpness of the sword intent and the piercing waves of qi. An unsettling fear settled on every face as they watched the deadly scene, expecting someone to slice the dark curtain in two at any moment and emerge.
Among the distraught onlookers were Shim Won-Yi and Seomoon Hye-Ryung.
"Was his martial arts always at that level?"
"He has become a giant far beyond our imagination."
"Hmph!"
Jin Mu-Won was only in his early twenties, younger than either of them. However, the martial prowess he possessed defied their common sense.
The man he was facing was Yeon Cheon-Hwa, one of the Four Northern Pillars. He was a supreme master of the jianghu, rumored to have martial prowess nearly rivaling the Nine Skies. Despite this, Jin Mu-Won was fighting Yeon Cheon-Hwa on equal footing, showing no sign of being pushed back.
"I doubt anyone among the Seven Young Skies could fight Lord Yeon so evenly."
"I hate to admit it, but I agree."
