Chapter 48
Gwak Pyeong pulled himself together and quickly assessed the situation.
It was, without exaggeration, the perfect deadlock.
The Qi-Scattering Poison in his body made it nearly impossible to circulate his inner energy properly.
And with the number of Black Shadow Division fighters here, facing them alone was out of the question.
If it were just a one-on-one against Jang Manseong, he might be able to manage even in his current condition. But the entire elite force of Black Shadow was present.
He hadn’t expected it to be a trap, since the situation stemmed from a simple conflict with Taesajin. He had assumed there wouldn’t be too many enemies.
He’d only summoned a few other senior students to join later, just in case the situation escalated into an all-out clash with Black Shadow.
Now, he had no choice but to pin his hopes on those reinforcements.
If the formation could just hold until they arrived...
Just as that thought crossed his mind—
CRACK—
The formation trembled violently as the mist was torn apart down the center.
