Chapter 173
The Gentleman, Yu Xi
Danwooseong stood in the open space, waiting for the gentleman.
Suddenly, as the two faced each other in a place where no one could disturb them, smiles flowed naturally.
Junja rose and said.
“Come, Kwonwang.”
As if inviting him to cross over to the open space, Kwonwang silently extended his hand. With a graceful movement, the gentleman stepped down onto the open space.
As the gentleman approached Dan Woo-sung, he said.
“The longest-lasting adversaries held out for a single hour. Though countless battles were fought, what remains vividly etched in my mind is the time they endured—a truly mysterious thing.”
Danwooseong asked, arms crossed.
“Who were they? The men who held out for a full hour…”
“It was the man called the Secret Heavenly Lord. You wouldn’t know him. And in the Demon Sect, there was the Blood God. There were many other powerful men besides them, but only these two men held out for a full hour.”
The Demon Lord truly killed many masters as he traveled. When slaying demons, he posed as a righteous warrior; when slaying righteous warriors, he disguised himself as a demon.
The Heavenly Lord of the Abyss was a truly arrogant title, meaning the hidden master of the heavens. Yet Danwooseong had never heard this title even during his past life as the King of Power. The same went for the Blood God. Hearing tales of such powerful beings from the Gentleman’s mouth, he couldn’t help but think how vast the world truly was.
