"Uwaah! Aaargh—!" S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.A sudden commotion erupted in the snow-covered forest.

    Jeon Baek tumbled through the air, crashing into the distance with a groan of pain. His severed shoulder slammed into the ground.

    Jeong Yeon-shin''s eyelids lifted slightly.

    His sensory perception was still heavily diminished. The internal injuries inflicted by Twin Malevolent Palms and Internal Weighted Arts had significantly reduced his range of detection.

    By the time he felt the force of the attack heading toward Jeon Baek, he hadn’t even considered stepping in.

    Instead, he found himself pleasantly surprised.

    Perhaps, after entering Yiphwang Fortress, he had grown more aware of his own solitude.

    Yu Hyeon…?

    Beyond the bushes encircling their makeshift campsite, he saw the distinct petal-like pattern within the Fist Wind that had struck Jeon Baek.

    It was a presence he knew well. Plum Blossom Fist, Purple Haze Divine Art—refined techniques of the orthodox Nine Great Schools.

    Had Yu Hyeon finally absorbed the Violet Small Pellet Jeong Yeon-shin had given him long ago?

    His Footwork Art had evolved beyond comparison to before.

    It was no match for the Shaolin Temple’s Hundred-Step Divine Fist, but the power of his strike, even from afar, had been enough to send Jeon Baek flying.

    His old friend was steadily progressing—walking the long martial path of the Nine Great Schools, one that Jeong Yeon-shin himself could never truly step onto.

    "Did he say ''a sacred beast of Shaolin''?"

    He recognized the voice instantly.

    Yu Hyeon had been tracking Jeon Baek and Gun Yu-rin.

    "Which bastard—!"

    Gun Yu-rin leaped to her feet, drawing the massive saber from her back in a swift motion.

    Jeong Yeon-shin’s gaze swept over the surroundings.

    There had to be an unfamiliar creature nearby.

    Sacred beasts were rare in this world. Bred by noble clans using secret techniques, they were highly intelligent and skilled in special tracking arts.

    Each one had its own unique abilities.

    "There it is."

    Cloud Dragon’s Eight Steps—of the now-extinct Kunlun Sect.Serpentine Body Art—practiced by the Blood Flame Cult.Azure Dragon’s Scale-Treading Step—of the Thirteen Heavens.And Diamond Unmoving Step—passed down by the Shaolin Temple.
