Night of the Broken Gliph

“This energliph movement…” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡVapOdAxZtg 維尼

“What’s going on?” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBQZV22Rbo 維尼

“I’ve never felt such strong energliph ever!” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvFtBbLTWF 維尼

“C’mon, let’s go and take a look!” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YFYhvrvLW 維尼

The strong energliph movement attracted many to the battle site. 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCTvClYMDv 維尼

Lee Bak wielded a long sword as he guarded his body with the small shield around his left arm. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWEYcoxVg3 維尼

Clink clank clink clank…

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkN5uUwEIi 維尼

A few little blue beasts slammed against the shield, making his arm sore. Is he controlling them and the huge wolf simultaneously? What kind of technique is this? 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uRpuR9Uq6 維尼

Lee Bak was pleasantly surprised to witness such a unique skill! At the same time, he breathed deeply and with every breath he took, something spread throughout his body. 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcMFOsnSd 維尼

There was an odd gliph on Lee Bak’s chest. It was the Chinese character “river”, which consisted of three strokes. What many didn’t know was that the three strokes were each made out of countless tiny strokes that expanded across his chest as he breathed.  

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2THkkGiHQV 維尼

During this instant, Lee Bak’s eyes glowed red, and there was a sudden increase in his speed! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡg05R7OLSnW 維尼

“Oh?” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjxBQS8deM 維尼

Kam Chin Kee stood on the ground rooted. Out of nowhere, the wooden wolf appeared before him, using its monstrous face as a shield to block Lee Bak's attack! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSm7z7vyOv 維尼

“A gliphility that boosts your ability?” 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡocxmagV0rb 維尼

“Yep,” Lee Bak answered honestly. “I call it the Crimson Blood Body.” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHuRbY6DHt 維尼

The Crimson Blood Body was created with the secret gliph passed down the Metallic Blood War Gate, Crimson Blood River, to boost the cultivator’s overall ability for a short period by injecting energliph into the blood to make it boil. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmy1tCN3lz 維尼

Crimson Blood Body! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78PkU5Ncx 維尼

Clank clank clank clank…

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8h6fAWP7 維尼

A storm-like sword attack came towards Kam Chin Kee from all directions, but no matter where he struck, the wooden wolf would be there to block Lee Bak. However, Kam Chin Kee didn’t have a chance to counterattack, and Lee Bak could tell that be it mystical skills or gliph-related skills his opponent used, he was a middle-range attacker. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡERgHv2eKZz 維尼

The only way to win this battle is to close the distance. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBAXOg1z87 維尼

Lee Bak was right. Kam Chin Kee’s puppeteering skills were unsuited for close combat, and he was already struggling to block Lee Bak’s attack. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e4H3LtOB5 維尼

I still belittled him. Even though Lee Bak had the upper hand, he knew the situation he was in well. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QkN6kyjtF 維尼

The Crimson Blood Body brought a powerful boost, but how long could it last? It worked by injecting energliph into the cultivator’s blood, and using it for a long period was harmful to him and caused massive blood loss. When Lee Bak created this gliphility, his master Lung Wai Yuet warned him not to use it for more than five minutes. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWkTV7OSOC 維尼

Five minutes…?  Lee Bak fought with huge determination. That’s it. Time to end this! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9dQMmFeSr 維尼

And the sword in his hands turned red. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeojuYoenf 維尼

Of course, the Metallic Blood War Gate’s Tower Master’s direct disciple was equipped with a treasure. The sword he was holding onto was called the Crimson Blood Shadow, a grade one gliph weapon with the Double Shadow Strike gliph carved on it with Shadow Leopard’s tail. During its next three attacks, it would bring about double the effects! 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtWu8aK3c 維尼

Boom boom! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8WrKHPABn 維尼

An attack landed on the wooden wolf. The double strength caused even the spiritual hill wood to crack slightly. However, Lee Bak didn’t stop as he dashed behind Kam Chin-Kee. Even so, Kam Chin Kee did not need to turn around to control the wooden wolf to defend his back! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡytSInzOZWv 維尼

Boom boom! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡugaYYeMNJv 維尼

The wooden wolf blocked another attack! Lee Bak wasn’t deterred as he disappeared once again. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNFS6HAzVO 維尼

Not on my front, back, or sides…

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgvyJNJqgt 維尼

Kam Chin Kee looked up abruptly to see a black figure standing in the sun, getting close to him like a descending god! The Crimson Blood Shadow was pointed directly at Kam Chin Kee’s head from above! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGn9zvV3Rq 維尼

Kam Chin Kee was moving his fingers so fast that only illusions could be seen. In an instant, the wooden wolf was now on his head! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡergHvwDwyM 維尼

“Let this determine victory!” Lee Bak was now entirely red as he growled. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5Ckwlzta2 維尼

Boom! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlqW1RjWZo 維尼

The sword met the wooden wolf that shattered under the huge impact. However, Lee Bak was shocked to see tiny needles flying in the air towards him! 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zJFbi3WXy 維尼

A hidden mechanism?! 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGC3jjVoDF 維尼

Pfff…

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAAkxeUN2m 維尼

Countless needles entered Lee Bak’s body. His red body, which was buffed by the Crimson Blood Body, only managed to repel a few needles. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpS5S3ChiV 維尼

The Double Shadow Strike on Lee Bak’s sword unleashed a shadow-like attack that struck Kam Chin-Kee and sent him back a few meters away. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV2XGCppFL 維尼

Both of them exchanged glances of admiration. Kam Chin Kee patted the jade on his waist and threw it at Lee Bak. “The needles are poisonous, it’s not deadly, but it’s better to deal with it soon.” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6iqMplRr9 維尼

Lee Bak’s skin was no longer as red as before, and the areas that the needles struck had started to itch. “Thanks.” He nodded. He didn’t find Kam Chin Kee’s skills childish or dirty; you had to use everything you could in a life-or-death battle. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOLsVjgOdO 維尼

“No need. I believe you didn’t go all out either. I might have died if that attack landed on my throat.” Kam Chin Kee shook his head. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jsoXlHSWH 維尼

“And I believe you’d have your ace if that had happened, right?” Lee Bak replied calmly. 」8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡykxEyVWD80 維尼

“Hah, back at you.” Kam Chin Kee let out a hearty laugh. He found the other party interesting; to save his trump card even after the battle reached such a state! 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HVlc3mTr 維尼

Whoosh…

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQKIdYotpw 維尼

The sounds of people dashing towards them. Some were from the Metallic Blood War Gate, while others were from the Cloud Palace outer sect. This scene didn’t surprise those from the outer sect as they didn’t know who Lee Bak was, but Lee Bak’s schoolmates were shocked. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m8xn3C5Y0 維尼

Tower Master Lung Wai Yuet’s direct disciple fought the most famous orphan in the South who supposedly went to the Cloud Palace outer sect just for the valuable title and benefits as their student, and it ended in a tie? 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yjdEeLCk 維尼

The Metallic Blood War Gate disciples stood behind Lee Bak subconsciously. He was their leader, after all, while the outer sect disciples were scattered. They didn’t have the means to help Kam Chin-Kee and were just here as spectators. 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3YwF1Qn9K 維尼

“I admire brother Lee’s perfect sword and shield coordination.” Kam Chin Kee smiled. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99hxtxXyN 維尼

“Lee Bak now also knows how great the Cloud Palace outer sect is. Indeed a hidden talent. I hope to meet brother Kam again in future interschool exchanges.” Lee Bak wiped his sweat and bowed. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjItKnYtRx 維尼

“You’re too polite.” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l0025YNFe 維尼

“Goodbye.” Lee Bak bowed. He wasn’t fully depleted of his energy, but the Crimson Blood Body had used up half of his energliph and energy. No longer in his best state, Lee Bak didn’t intend to stay here much longer. 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWyisCcLT 維尼

Just then, a cold voice rang out. “What bullshit courtesy is this. Did you think finding a Metallic Blood War Gate member to act with you, Kam Chin-Kee, the dog of the Imperial Palace, would work?” 

8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0mlEtO9C8 維尼

The comment was so unpleasant that even the other outer sect disciples scowled. 8964 copyright protection62ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFFgbyyQML 維尼
