Fortunately, it was somewhat effective against the skinny wild dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, it was closer to a club than a sword, but the wild dogs that were hit whimpered and crawled on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that process, her brother was bitten and scratched countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just by the atmosphere, it was a life-and-death battle and a fierce fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Whimper! Whine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, her brother succeeded in driving away the wild dogs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a clumsy movement that was embarrassing to call a martial art, with a black club that was embarrassing to call a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Did you see? This is the Plum Blossom Sword Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother, with a shabby appearance, grinned and patted Cheon Suhye's head, messing it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Cheon Suhye was inwardly grateful, her heart ached at the sight of her brother's injured body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-This human! If you're a great hero, you should win without any injuries, what's with this shabby appearance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Hmph, sister. This is a glorious wound obtained at the end of a bloody battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheon Suhye hit her brother's back repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her brother laughed heartily, it seemed to hurt, as his lips twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that pathetic appearance, Cheon Suhye also couldn't help but let out a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheon Suhye did not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That this was the last day the siblings could face each other and laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that day, her brother could not get up from his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body became stiff, he suffered from a high fever, and he became unable to even have a proper conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-I have no way of treating this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village doctor gave up on her brother's illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, her family did not give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-I heard there is a skilled doctor in Sichuan, so I will go and come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father left on a journey to find a doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although a young Cheon Suhye cried and clung to her father, since it was for the sake of saving her brother, she had no choice but to let her father go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after that day, her father did not return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the son bedridden and the head of the household gone, the family's fortunes declined rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they had not been wealthy from the beginning, now days continued where they could not even eat watery porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her brother's condition worsened day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother also became thinner day by day and fell ill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then one day, the father they had been waiting for did not return, and instead, a doctor accompanied by a daughter younger than Cheon Suhye arrived in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Doctor, please save my child!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother cried and clung to the doctor, begging for treatment, and the doctor readily examined her brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-It is rabies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Isn't rabies a disease that causes madness? My child's body has just become stiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-The symptoms of rabies are largely of two types. One is that madness, and the other is the body becoming stiff like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor was a doctor with the surname Tang from Sichuan, a doctor with some reputation, and the doctor that her father had set out to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Cheon Suhye and her mother asked about her father's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-He left before me, so it seems our paths have crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer that came back was that the doctor also did not know her father's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it was okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a skilled doctor who could treat her brother had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So her father would also return someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheon Suhye's family embraced such a hopeful thought in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Unfortunately, the medicinal herbs I have now will not be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doctor Tang said that since the medicinal herbs needed to treat rabies were insufficient, he would go to Sichuan and come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the doctor did not come back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And her mother, who had been getting thinner day by day than her brother, passed away first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, her brother also passed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whereabouts of the father they had been waiting for were still unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the hope that he was alive had to be abandoned now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, she was left alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun glared at Cheon Suhye, who had become a jiangshi, in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he had checked with his senses, it was just a corpse with no life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Sister Suhye is no longer human. But.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun could not draw his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just dodged the attacking Cheon Suhye by stepping on his movement technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had also faced dozens of jiangshi, dodging was not a particularly difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The option of retreating without drawing his sword also came to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But is it the right choice to leave Sister Suhye like this and leave?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun was unable to do either, with complicated thoughts in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What kind of martial artist am I! I'm only good at cutting, but I can't even save one person!!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the useless words of his friend came to Baek Yoonjun's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-A sword that cuts a person is a killing sword, and a sword that saves a person is a life-saving sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Isn't a sword a tool for cutting people in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-That depends on the heart of the person who wields the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Anyway, it cuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wondered if there was a way in his friend's words, it was just a useless statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun blamed himself like crazy inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a useless act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, useless time continued to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun could not do anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn it! Why! Why! Can't I do anything?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, a thought flashed through Baek Yoonjun's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The bolt of the heart!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something that the unidentified man had given him when he was caught up in a strange phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had said he could use it only three times, he had a hunch that if he didn't use it now, he would regret it for the rest of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How should I use this?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know how to use it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he didn't know, he thought of putting a bolt on his heart while dodging the attacking Cheon Suhye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something changed in Baek Yoonjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun himself had not changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that all the things related to his heart, such as the stray thoughts that were always overflowing and his crazy low self-esteem, had disappeared at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun's mind, which had been in a state of utter confusion, became calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A calmness he had never felt in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I myself have not changed into another being.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that his mind had become calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-Kuaaaaaaah!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun lightly dodged the attacking Cheon Suhye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical condition or martial arts itself had not improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on a different level from just before, Baek Yoonjun's progress was unhindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a premonition that if he continued like this, he could draw his sword and cut down the being whose life had ended in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baek Yoonjun calmly analyzed Cheon Suhye's condition with his hand on the hilt of his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Her heart is not beating, and there is no blood flow.
