Chapter 388: I Got Beat Up a Lot in the Alley
Yongmyeong looked anxious for the safety of Blood Night Palace.
To be honest, if it were anyone else, maybe not, but since it was Yongmyeong, I could’ve just handed over the One-Kill Sword.
Yongmyeong seemed to insist that we had to fight properly, but I didn’t have enough evidence at the moment to determine what was true.
Wouldn’t it be simpler if we just settled it with an arm-wrestling match?
I couldn’t bring myself to say that out loud because of Yongmyeong’s expression.
I sat on the bench for a moment and sorted through my thoughts. Why does the Cult Leader keep giving these kinds of trials to the people around him? I looked at Eldest Brother, then glanced at Yongmyeong again.
Could I win against this guy properly without killing him?
He had learned martial arts from Elder Heo, so if I had to guess, it was probably a style that focused on one-kill assassination.
To be precise, once I countered one of Yongmyeong’s attacks—
It would be extremely difficult not to kill him. I could tell just from the energy and aura radiating off Yongmyeong.
Martial artists and assassins are similar yet different. Assassins don’t often appear in rankings compiled by sects like the Murim Alliance. That’s because they don’t engage in open matches.
For some reason, I felt like if I killed Yongmyeong with my own hands, the Cult Leader would find that amusing, and I didn’t want to indulge him.
