Chapter 162: Are You the Blood Demon?
TL: FoodieMonster007
When Baek Suryong returned after retrieving the Nine Yin Witch's Ice Essence, he found that several welcome guests had arrived in the Valley of Evil.
"Hyung-nim!" Ak Yeonho called out, rushing over breathlessly like an eager puppy greeting its master. When he saw Baek Suryong's ragged appearance, however, he gaped in surprise, "Whoa, what happened to you? Your clothes are ripped, torn, burnt… Wait… Why are you soaking wet? Suspicious…"
"I've had a long day," Baek Suryong replied with a sigh.
Right now, he looked utterly disheveled. After battling the Bloody Ripper in an underground lair riddled with traps, enjoying a poison gas sauna courtesy of the Demonic Strategist, and then facing off against the Nine Yin Witch, he had to endure her icy aura while extracting her impure qi.
Needless to say, his once pristine sky-blue martial arts uniform was now so tattered that it wouldn't even make a decent rag, and since the Witch's ice had melted, he was also drenched.
Glancing around, he asked, "You're not alone, are you…? Fuck."
Not far off, Mae Geuklyom was approaching, emanating a sharp, scary aura.
"You rascal…!" the old man scolded, but upon seeing Baek Suryong's miserable condition, his anger instantly melted into concern. "…Oh no, are you badly hurt?"
