Chapter 138: Seizing the Demon Sword
As the Sword Demon’s head flew off, Baek Moo-jin and Jin So-hye silently stared down at the corpse of the Sword Demon who had lived an abnormal life.
While alive, he had been so grotesque, yet now, with his head severed, the Sword Demon’s corpse looked no different from an ordinary person.
In that sense, Baek Moo-jin found himself thinking that even demonic arts and demonic power ultimately stemmed from the human mind.
After the breath leaves, it all becomes meaningless.
The Sword Demon was shunned even within the Demon Clan, treated as a monster by outsiders. Seeing him meet such a futile end at the Holy Flame Palace, Baek Moo-jin felt a heavy sorrow at how wretched a human’s fate could be.
Is this how a person should live and die?
Why did the Sword Demon choose such a life?
His final plea to be freed from hell was a stark testament to the nature of his existence.
After pondering these thoughts, Baek Moo-jin recalled the Demon Sword.
Just as Jin Sohye was about to speak, Baek Moo-jin said, “Just a moment,” and went to the place where he had buried the Demon Sword. He looked down into the two pits. From the one where the Sword Demon had been impaled, the Demon Sword now stood erect.
A peculiar thought struck Baek Moo-jin.
The Sword Demon’s Yiqi Sword came to mind. How on earth had he wielded that thing like a living creature?
When Baek Moo-jin grasped the tip of the demon sword, he unconsciously activated the White Flower Technique, propelling himself back up to the surface.
