Surviving as a Genius on Borrowed Time

Chapter 414

In that moment, both Jeong Yeon-shin and Yong Hui-myeong’s figures became blurred.

The ground beneath their feet shifted violently, and soon after, a deafening explosion filled the courtyard.

Along with the rumble, a cloud of yellow dust rose, but it was the invisible shockwave generated by the clash of their swords that swept across the ground, tearing it apart.
