Chapter 34
*Clip-clop, clip-clop*
The sound of Moyong Yeon’s horse galloping could be heard from up ahead.
The escape was going smoothly. The Hangu Pass was quite far in the distance, but as soon as we gained some distance, our pursuers seemed to have trouble catching up. It’s no wonder; Moyong Yeon was riding a horse at high speed, while we were skillfully keeping our distance. Besides, it was the middle of the night, and visibility was poor, making it risky for them to chase us recklessly.
When I destroyed the ground earlier, it seemed like four people were knocked unconscious, and now, only five were chasing us. Among them, one was an expert of martial arts who specialized in hand-to-hand combat, but he did not join the pursuit, perhaps due to the beating he received from Jin So-cheong earlier. I glanced back at our pursuers and said,
“Three against five isn’t too bad, right?”
“It’s not good. One of them is a master of hidden weapons; we can’t afford to face them head-on.”
“A master of hidden weapons?”
“He’s called Janryong. Be careful.”
Jin So-cheong’s words were tinged with strong caution.
