Chapter 323: Five-Poison Realm (8)
–From Sandan’s movements, Hwa-eun felt a flash of insight. It was the beginning of something new—perhaps a new martial art. But this wasn’t the time to reflect and develop it.
The situation was too urgent. She could feel presences closing in.

Hwa-eun quickly turned to Sandan.
“Sandan, can you keep it up while we’re moving!?”
–Piipi!
In response to her question—whether she could still block arrows and throwing weapons while they moved—Sandan nodded confidently.
Seeing that, Hwa-eun decided to entrust her back to Sandan.
“I’m going to run again—I'm counting on you.”
–Pii!
