Chapter 1234. Dominating (4)
Tension taut enough to cut with a knife flowed in the room.
The icy coldness pricking his skin even invaded his chest.
It all felt so sharp. And vivid.
When was the last time Kang Jin-Ho felt this level of tension before?
This tension was noticeably different from the one found within a battlefield.
While the tension in the battlefield burned like hot magma and made his heart beat madly away, forcing his blood to circulate even faster, this tension was a different beast altogether.
For one, Kang Jin-Ho’s blood had gotten colder. All of his boiling fighting spirit crumbled away, while his confidence, built through so many trials and tribulations over the years, ebbed away after failing to find a place to dwell within his heart.
The subtle tremors in the air registered so clearly on Kang Jin-Ho’s fingertips. Which could only mean his senses were at their sharpest right now. Perhaps sharper than during the events he had gone through recently.
When was the last time he felt this tense? Kang Jin-Ho couldn’t quite remember it.
Even during the final battle against the army of experts from the orthodox sects led by Azure Demon, Kang Jin-Ho still wasn’t this nervous. But he didn’t have a reason to obsessively cling to his life at that moment, so that made some sense.
Meanwhile, Kang Jin-Ho had been shivering in excitement during his battle against the Crimson King. Because that battle made him feel alive again.
However, this situation was different. He didn’t feel the usual highs induced by life-or-death events. No, this feeling was far closer to despair one might feel while falling into an endless abyss.
