Chapter 511: Twilight (2)
Immediately after exchanging a strike with the General Chief of the Green Forest Cavalry, Ak Su-rim’s voice pierced through Jeong Yeon-shin’s mind.
— Close your eyes. I will stand guard.
It was an experienced piece of advice.
Her words carried two meanings.
First, this was not a battle the Acting Commander of the Divine Sword Corps had to face alone. Second, it was a moment to cool both mind and body.
Jeong Yeon-shin stood still, calming his inner state for what felt like both a fleeting and drawn-out moment.
The Sword Clan and Ten Thousand Flowers in the Rain.
An unprecedented-scale battle in his entire time in the martial world.
Nearly a thousand deaths. With just two moves, he had driven two of the Thirteen Heavens to near annihilation. The cost, naturally, was bound to be enormous.
The strain on his stored energy and meridians was staggering, and for the first time in a long while, even the Baihui acupoint at the crown of his head throbbed.
Recovering fully would take more than a mere quarter-hour—it wouldn’t be enough even if he spent an entire day.
To make matters worse, Hyeok Ryeon Pungwol, the Lord of Murong Sect, continued scrutinizing him, his gaze sinking Jeong Yeon-shin’s exhausted body deeper into an invisible swamp.
