Chapter 203: The Heavenly Demon and the Sword Emperor
Baek Moo-jin suddenly looked up at the sky where the sunset was beginning and said.
“The Sword Emperor, huh…”
The more he pondered it, the more astonishing it seemed.
While the Heavenly Emperor Jin Cheon-yeong was known only to a select few as the peerless champion of the previous era, the Sword Emperor was recognized as the unrivaled master not only by martial artists but by the vast majority of those connected to the martial world.
There was no known instance of him ever being defeated…
He was a figure who vanished somewhere after meeting the previous Heavenly Lord, Jin Cheon-yeong. Such a man seized control of Miryudo, refined his martial arts, and then re-emerged into the Central Plains.
Of course, the Sword Emperor’s original target must have been Jin Cheon-yeong, the Lord of the Heavens.
However, he must have heard the rumor that he was defeated and killed by Baek Moo-jin. It was only natural that the Sword Emperor’s target would then become Baek Moo-jin, the one who killed Jin Cheon-yeong.
He must have harbored the rage only one who had reached the pinnacle could feel.
But Baek Moo-jin found it highly unusual that a legendary master like the Sword Emperor would make his appearance in such a manner. Baek Moo-jin said to Nam Hwang,
“Could it be that something happened to his mind while practicing demonic arts?”
“…I heard His Majesty the Emperor also practiced demonic arts.”
