Chapter 84

Jeok Leegeon replied with a cold smile.

"A dream you'll never wake from."

Chungso's legs gave way, and he collapsed on the spot.

Jeok Leegeon asked in a low voice.

"Where is he?"

"What?"

"I asked where Jang In-geol is. I sent you with them to bring Jeong Charyeon here, didn't I?"

"How did you...?"

"He's probably waiting nearby."

That was the truth. Jang In-geol was waiting for Jeong Charyeon and Chungso in the nearby forest. He intended to rape Jeong Charyeon and kill her there.

Jeok Leegeon mercilessly trampled on Chungso.

Crack!

Chungso's ankle broke.

"Aaaaaargh!"

Crunch!

He crushed the other ankle as well. Chungso screamed even more horribly as his ankles broke. Both ankles were broken in an instant.

Jeok Leegeon crouched down and whispered in Chungso's ear.

"It's okay if you don't tell me. There are plenty more bones to break."

He couldn't hold out any longer.

"Jang, Jang In-geol is waiting in the south forest, about one li from here!"

Jeok Leegeon nodded and stood up.

Thud!

A sword pierced Chungso's heart.

With that, everyone who had invaded the Righteous Sword Sect was dead.

Only silence flowed within the hall.

Everyone was amazed by Jeok Leegeon's martial arts and his ruthless methods.

Jeong Charyeon stood up and walked towards Jeok Leegeon.

As before, Jeok Leegeon was standing alone in a pile of corpses. Once again, he was standing there for her sake.

Even if everyone in the world cursed him as cruel, she would not. It wasn't just because he had taken action for her sake. It was because she now deeply understood Jeok Leegeon.

Jeok Leegeon smiled slightly and said.

"Sorry I'm late."

You idiot. Why are you sorry?

Jeong Charyeon asked the same question that Jeok Leegeon had asked when he first arrived.

"Are you okay?"

Even if it couldn't be helped, she was afraid that this accumulation of killing would change Jeok Leegeon.

Jeok Leegeon slowly took Jeong Charyeon's right hand. Then, with a very gentle touch, he set the dislocated bone. Instead of pain, she felt his warm body temperature.

"...Thank you."

"...I'm glad you're safe."

She could feel Jeok Leegeon's warm heart, as warm as his hand.

Meanwhile, Im Mu-yeol moved Jeong I-chu and the injured people to the next room. Jeong Charyeon, who had suffered internal injuries, also lay down on a bed.

A little later, Muyeong brought Jang In-geol.

He threw him down in front of Jeok Leegeon, helpless after his Evil Blood Point had been suppressed.

Jeok Leegeon grabbed Jang In-geol by the back of the neck and lifted him up.

"Save me!"

Jang In-geol's face was bruised, probably from being beaten by Muyeong.

He pleaded with a frightened face.

"Please, save me."

"Okay, I won't kill you."

"Really?"

"Of course."

A chilling murderous intent flashed in Jeok Leegeon's eyes.

"I can't just kill a guy like you so easily."

"What?"

Thwack!

Jeok Leegeon suppressed a Blood Point. Jang In-geol fell asleep.

Jeok Leegeon said calmly.

"Muyeong!"

"Yes!"

"Escort the people here to Divine Wind Stronghold for now. And ask Chugwe to treat them."

"Understood."

"And prepare. Tonight, we're going to wipe out the Palm Heart Clan."
