Chapter 80
0080 : Amcheonhyang (Dark Heaven Village)
The beggar suddenly swung his Tagoobong (Stick of Dog Beating) at me. His movements appeared slow, but as he entered my attack range, he executed a Quick Change that was startlingly swift. I noticed that his form was incredibly precise and devoid of flaws, prompting me to retreat instead of confronting him head-on.
Clang!
The beggar’s Tagoobong collided with my sword. The force of the impact sent him flying backward.
“Oh my goodness…”
With a deft move, the beggar executed a somersault in mid-air, landing approximately two lengths away. His face was clearly that of surprise. I could hear him murmuring,
“Wow… this is truly impressive… Even with my Dream Heaven Divine Art maximized, to be pushed back like this… such terrifying internal energy…”
“Who are you?”
I couldn’t afford to treat him carelessly. Although he had been sent flying during our exchange of internal energies, he had managed to recover without any injury. Moreover, most experts would have been utterly destroyed by an attack like mine, often suffering severe damage. The fact that he hadn’t even spat blood indicated that his internal energy was remarkably refined.
