Sol recalled seeing Byeong-Ho back when he was first inside Su Moon's Palace, which was two weeks ago. That also meant Byeong-Ho was tethering between life and death in the Inner Court by fighting Spirit Beasts for two weeks. Along with the fact that there might be Spirit Beasts in the Spiritual Realm in the Inner Court, Byeong-Ho was lucky to be alive. His current condition was the best outcome.
But Sol still believed he had been too reckless.
Heon-Tae was going all out for this very reason. While Sol was in his thoughts, he and Byeong-Ho were locked in a fierce battle.
However, what started out as a slightly equal clash, as Byeong-Ho's aura of breakthrough got stronger, Heon-Tae would feel his organs rattle with every sword strike him.
What's more, Byeong-Ho seemed to be calming down. He was no longer swinging his sword wildly; his movements became refined as he continuously used the 32 Plum Blossom Sword Play.
