"Star King---!!!"
A harsh roar swept through the branch.
The sheer volume suggested it had been amplified with qi, making it thunderous. Given the cultivation level of the one shouting, even the trees trembled from the force of the lionâs roar.
ââ¦Ughâ¦â
âGrrrâ¦!!â
The martial artists guarding the branch staggered, one after another.
Hwagyeong-level.
And not just any Hwagyeongâsomeone almost guaranteed to join the ranks of the Ten Great Masters in the next generation.
"Where is he?!"
The owner of the roarâIlcheon Sword, the Azure Dragon Commanderâwas unable to restrain his emotions, openly displaying his fury.
Andâ
"Gu Yangcheon-!"
He repeatedly shouted my name.
Thanks to that, everyone in the branch was trembling, especially the branch leader, Mok Ri-seon, whose eyes were shaking violently with panic.
Rumbleâ!!
The aura spread out, pressing down on the surroundings of the branch.
It seemed his qi reserves were even greater than expected.
âUghâ¦!!â
âUrghâ¦â
People began to do more than just stagger; some were already vomiting. It wouldnât be surprising if they started coughing up blood next.
Seeing this, I finally revealed myself.
"What are you doing?"
Appearing with a bewildered expression, I watched as Ilcheon Sword rushed toward me the moment he saw me.
He immediately grabbed me by the collar.
The impact shook my body.
Feigning confusion, I looked at him.
ââ¦Hey, senior. Whatâs going on here?â
"You bastardâ!"
Ilcheon Sword, his face contorted in rage, shouted at me.
"You dare mock me? Youâhow dare you!"
He bellowed, then threw something at me.
