Chapter 312: Hyeon-won (7)
"Uwaah! Aaargh—!"
A sudden commotion erupted in the snow-covered forest.
Jeon Baek tumbled through the air, crashing into the distance with a groan of pain. His severed shoulder slammed into the ground.
Jeong Yeon-shin's eyelids lifted slightly.
His sensory perception was still heavily diminished. The internal injuries inflicted by Twin Malevolent Palms and Internal Weighted Arts had significantly reduced his range of detection.
By the time he felt the force of the attack heading toward Jeon Baek, he hadn’t even considered stepping in.
Instead, he found himself pleasantly surprised.
Perhaps, after entering Yiphwang Fortress, he had grown more aware of his own solitude.
Yu Hyeon...?
Beyond the bushes encircling their makeshift campsite, he saw the distinct petal-like pattern within the Fist Wind that had struck Jeon Baek.
It was a presence he knew well. Plum Blossom Fist, Purple Haze Divine Art—refined techniques of the orthodox Nine Great Schools.
Had Yu Hyeon finally absorbed the Violet Small Pellet Jeong Yeon-shin had given him long ago?
