Chapter: 718
“UGHHHH!”
‘Even the scales on my hand weren’t able to withstand the power.’
Yeongwol’s energy was incomparable to the other court ladies, but even that wasn’t enough to withstand the sword of Chun Yeowun.
Twitch! Twitch!
Her veins wriggled like earthworms in her severed arm. Her ability to regenerate had been initiated yet, it didn’t stop the blood from gushing out. It looked as if she didn’t possess any regenerative ability at all. The shock of getting her hand cut in front of her lasted for a moment and when Yeongwol looked up...
Slash!
The sharp tip of Chun Yeowun’s sword pressed on her wrinkled old neck. It was clear to her that Chun Yeowun wanted her dead.
‘Ugh! This monster!’
From the moment she clashed with him, she thought that his skill could be deciphered by her but it turned out to be an illusion. She was oblivious of Chun Yeowun’s capability.
‘Am I going to die like this?’
The sensation of fear that she felt when the tip of the black sword touched her couldn’t be shaken off. As soon as it became clear to Yeongwol that Chun Yeowun was intent on silencing her at any cost, her politeness disappeared. She began to change tactics.
“Uh! Do you need help in smoothly leaving the Imperial Palace?”
Her speaking tone and style became uncourteous. An attitude that’s nearly identical from the first time she talked with him. Human nature would never change.
“Do you think I will have trouble getting out?”
“Ha! You’re belittling the Imperial Palace. You made such a racket and you thought no one would notice you.”
His fight together with the battle between the Guardians’ court ladies and the East Spear’s warrior made such a racket that even the nearby East House, the base of the East Spear, and the Golden Guards who served as night guards, would surely notice.
“As soon as they arrive, you’ll be considered as an enemy of the Imperial Palace! Murderer! Huhuhu, don’t go around dreaming bullshit about escaping!”
She acknowledged that Chun Yeowun was a strong opponent but she thought that he couldn’t handle the forces of the Imperial Palace in its entirety.
“If the Imperial Palace turns noisier with the arrival of others, even the high ranking officials of the Guardians will come. And they are a lot stronger than me! You will never be able to walk past them! The Demonic Cult will cease to exist!”
Yeongwol was blinded by the power she thought the Imperial Palace had. However, Chun Yeowun’s reaction was weird. He didn’t show unease at the information nor had any thoughts, it was as if he was indifferent to it.
‘What is he up to?’
Looking at his indifferent behaviour, she wondered. But the tip of the sword that was on her neck soon touched her right cheek.
Tap!
“What are...”
Slash!
“UGHHHH!”
Before she could even ask, Chun Yeowun’s sword pierced her cheek from one side to the other, and pulled it out. Yeongwol screamed as her mouth got ripped and hanged in shock.
“WH-what the hell did you do!”
Her words filled with shock and fear. Chun Yeowun answered while pitying her.
“I tried to cut your tongue, but it looks like it didn’t work.”
