Chapter 482: The Wilderness Annihilation (1)
In an instant, So Cheonmujuk scattered like a mirage in the great desert of summer, then reappeared beneath the airspace on the opposite side.
Before the defensive aura could even be tested against the sword strike, seemingly forged from moonlight, Jeong Yeon-shin had succeeded in performing Ihyeong Gongheo— a technique tied to both longing and resentment.
It was different from his previous encounters— from the Sect Master of Cheonggeuk Gate, whom he had to strike down multiple times, or from the moment he had called out to Abbot Beomheo, relying on the resonance of dharma and desperate wishes.
But as So Cheonmujuk stepped upon the void, her brows furrowed for the first time.
She had been in the midst of reciting an incantation, enhancing the technique’s mystical power. A quiet thought slipped from between her lips.
[How could you...!]
It was a muttered curse, spat out as if chewed through clenched teeth.
Above the canyon.
Hwaaak—!
The vast, flickering storm clouds of thunder were split in a single stroke, scattering to either side.
Like fuses ignited by a violent flame, the sword strike severed something fundamental at the core of the sorcery-infused martial arts.
By the time Jeong Yeon-shin below widened his eyes and exhaled a single breath, it had all vanished.
