"One down."

Namgung Jincheon's calm voice made Je Cheon-hyeok's lips twitch.

"Was that opening deliberate…?"

He had sacrificed his side to claim Neung Pyeong-ho’s life. If so, how much more would it take to sever that head?

One transcendent warrior had already fallen. Any more losses would render killing Namgung Jincheon meaningless for the Black Lotus Union.

Grinding his teeth, Je Cheon-hyeok quickly scanned the area.

"There’s not a single mark in the space around him."@@novelbin@@

Since the beginning of the battle, Namgung Jincheon hadn’t moved from his position.

Because of Namgung Yeon.

Even with such a burden to protect, he could still perform at this level?

Maintaining their standoff, Je Cheon-hyeok turned to the Gilyeon Sect Master.

"Is the formation working properly?"

"Fuck. Can’t you tell?"

The formation had two main effects: to hinder Namgung Jincheon while empowering their allies.

It had been constructed by the Gilyeon Sect Master himself, at the cost of countless lives. Its effects were undeniable.

Had he been on the receiving end, assuming equal power, he would have been utterly crushed.

"What you’re seeing now is him under those restrictions."

At the Sect Master’s words, Geom Yul let out a hollow laugh.

"Incredible… Truly the Heavenly Sword Sovereign. If you had joined the Sword Sect, you might have reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship."
