HOW ARROGANT AND FOOLISH YOU ARE.
YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING OF HONOR.
HONOR?
DO I HAVE TO CARE ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
I HATE COMPLICATING THINGS.
YOU TURNED YOUR EYES AWAY FROM YOUR OPPONENT.
YOU ARE ARROGANT INDEED.
BUT SOON, YOU WON'T BE SMIRKING ANYMORE.
....?!
WHEN DID HE DO THIS?
LET ME RETURN THOSE WORDS RIGHT BACK AT YOU.
I'LL WIPE THAT ARROGANT LOOK OFF YOUR FACE.
YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
HE HAS CHANGED.
HIS SKILLS WERE CRUDE AND UNREFINED.
HE USED TO RELY ONLY ON HIS STRENGTH AND SPEED...
BUT NOW, THERE IS REAL DEPTH IN HIS SWORDSMANSHIP.
THAT COMBINATION ATTACK...
COULD IT BE...?
WHY DOES IT REMIND ME OF HIM...?
ALTHOUGH HIS SKILLS AREN'T AS GOOD AS LEE'S...
...HE STILL GOT ME.
I'M SHOCKED.
I NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD'VE COME THIS FAR ALREADY.
TSK, I EXPECTED AS MUCH...
MANZHU LI... THAT BASTARD IS SOMETHING ELSE.
HE MANAGED TO CATCH UP TO ME TWICE DESPITE HIS MASSIVE SIZE...
THIS IS QUITE INTERESTING INDEED.
I SAW IT A COUPLE OF TIMES ALREADY, BUT I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT...
...?
YOU RUTHLESSLY KILLED HUNDREDS, OR EVEN THOUSANDS OF JOSEON PEOPLE WITH THAT SWORD.
BUT HERE YOU ARE, DESPERATELY SWINGING IT AROUND TO PROTECT THAT TRAITOR.
NOW, YOU'VE GOT ME FULLY INVESTED.
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, I WILL TEAR THAT WENCH INTO PIECES RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES.
I SHOULD THINK OF HIM AS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON FROM THE ONE I'VE FACED IN THE PAST.
I'M TRULY ASTONISHED BY HIS GROWTH.
AND THAT'S ALL THE MORE REASON...
...TO CUT HIM DOWN HERE AND NOW.
IF I FAIL TO BRING HIM DOWN...
...HE WILL BECOME A THREAT TO ALL JURCHENS!
HE'S GETTING FASTER BY THE SECOND...
HE'S BEYOND WHAT I EXPECTED.
I CAN'T FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIGHT BACK!
THEN THE ONLY WAY IS...
I'LL MAKE YOU FEEL IT TOO.
YOU'LL WATCH SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT DIE BEFORE YOUR EYES AND REALIZE HOW HELPLESS YOU ARE.
I ADMIT IT, GWIYEONG.
YOUR HEAD IS WORTH IT.
IT'S WORTH MORE THAN THE MOST PRECIOUS THING I POSSESS.
I WOULD GLADLY SACRIFICE KAI...
...IF THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO CUT YOU DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL
YOU SEE...
THAT BOY HAS LEARNED TO CONCEAL...
...HIS FURY AND HATRED.
The chapter begins with a fierce duel rooted in pride and honor, in which Gwiyeong displays growth that surprises his opponent. His swordsmanship, once reliant on brute force, has now gained depth. Faced with his growth, his rival feels both admiration and fear, vowing to cut him down here and kill someone he loves before his eyes.
