The emperor had everyone around him leave. He was now facing only Yoo Jae-ha and the Sword Empress.
"It's been a long ti. Aunt."
"Congratulations on becoming the emperor. Nephew. You've made it."
"Thank you. I've heard many congratulations so far, but the congratulations from a blood relative are the best."
"I'm sincere. You will be a good emperor."
"So what is the reason you've co to see ?"
"This child did not kill him."
"How can you be so sure, Aunt? You weren't even there."
"You would know that much, wouldn't you?"
The emperor glanced at the man next to the Sword Empress.
"You've eaten the martial world?"
"I haven't eaten it, but I won the fight against the Righteous Faction. As a Demonic Cult, it's like a year-end banquet."
"Is the reason you've co here to threaten ?"
The emperor glanced at the Sword Empress, one of the successors to the throne.
"Of course not. I just want to strengthen the friendly relationship with the current imperial family. And while you're at it, it would be nice if you could get rid of the bounty on my head."
"You have a big dream."
The emperor rose from his seat. The golden dragon robe hung down, and its hem dragged on the floor. With a swish, the emperor lifted his golden dragon robe and strode in front of Yoo Jae-ha.
Screech.
He drew the sword, which was plated with gold, from his side and aid it at Yoo Jae-ha's neck.
During this series of processes, neither the Sword Empress nor Yoo Jae-ha made any movent.
The emperor asked.
"I already know that you are not guilty. However, there was no proper justification to clear your na on the spot, and at that ti, it was the best choice, so I made it. Because I am a person who has to produce results, not processes."
Yoo Jae-ha lowered his eyes and answered.
"It is a very appropriate insight."
The emperor raised his sword and moved it to the opposite neck.
"Yoo Jae-ha, the emperor's murderer. If you want to escape your punishnt yourself, bring a proper justification."
"I, Yoo Jae-ha, will bring the head of the traitors."
"Tell what you want."
"Please give the decision-making power over the treaty of non-interference between the governnt and the martial world."
"You will be the bridge between the governnt and the martial world. That's what you an."
"I just want to be a window for communication between the governnt and the martial world. I just want to reduce the misunderstandings that arise from the lack of communication of each other's intentions, as it is now. Besides, have I ever disappointed you in a deal?"
"Hehehe."
The emperor, who had laughed lowly, raises his sword.
"Are you daring to threaten now?"
The fact that he had brought the Sword Empress was an implicit expression that he could kill him at any ti and raise a new emperor.
"Since I've already been hit once, I feel relieved only if I have insurance."
The emperor brings his sword down.
Even in this situation, Yoo Jae-ha was still.
As if he knew that the emperor's sword would never fall on him.
Or as if he could avoid it at any ti even if it did fall.
As expected, the emperor's sword stopped at a position about a hair's breadth away.
"I can't wait long this ti either. You know the situation better."
"I will co to see you again as soon as possible."
"Go."
"Yes, sir!"
Yoo Jae-ha and the Sword Empress leave.
After a while, the Black and White Twin Elders appear.
"Is it okay to let him go like that?"
"I think it's better to cut off that guy's head now and appease the angry public sentint."
The emperor looked at the Black and White Twin Elders intently and opened his mouth.
"Who can catch that guy?"
"What?"
"What do you an?"
The emperor, Zhu Gaochi, had reached the Profound Realm. Even he did not know what Yoo Jae-ha's martial prowess was.
"Well, it would be possible with the one million troops stationed in the current imperial family. But to catch that guy, the imperial family will surely collapse with the current unstable imperial authority. To kill him requires that much determination. And don't you, the Black and White Twin Elders, also know? That that guy did not kill His Majesty the Emperor."
"Still, at this rate, the prestige of the imperial family..."
The grand general had betrayed.
A new bloodline of the forr emperor had appeared.
A lot of ti had already passed without the king of the country being decided.
Although it had been maintained sohow until now, dissatisfaction was gradually rising among the ministers. At this rate, the chaos would only grow.
To entrust all this to a re Central Plains person at an important ti when this chaos must be quelled as soon as possible?
As an emperor, he was not in a very good mood.
"Are you daring to teach ?"
"N-No. I am just making a better choice for Your Majesty."
"Don't worry. I will also decide my own destiny myself."
And the emperor had no intention of just staying still.
"Have the one million troops on standby so that they can be dispatched at any ti. If my aunt fails, then we will have to go to war."
"I, the Black and White Twin Elder, will receive Your Majesty's order!"
"I, the Black and White Twin Elder, will receive Your Majesty's order!"
* * *
All preparations had been made before coming here.
The Demon Brain and the military strategist had personally identified several places where the Black Heaven Lord would be, and Soma and the two Heavenly Demons had been put in the place with the highest probability among them.
No matter how strong the Black Heaven Lord was, he couldn't be stronger than those three.
If things went well, he would finally be able to live a life of honey.
"Kikiki."
"Why are you laughing so unluckily?"
"Because it seems things will go well. I've already put Soma and the Heavenly Demons in the place where the Black Heaven Lord will be. Maybe things are already over?"
"Hmm. Jae-ha."
"Yes!"
"Things always go wrong at the very end."
"Hey~! No way."
"Usually, that 'no way' gets people."
* * *
The fight between Soma and Sa Cho-hon was fierce.
Both were martial artists who were in the top ten in the current martial world, having reached the Transcending Demon and the Profound Realm.
When Soma attacked using the Heavenly Killing Star, the blood-colored qi swept through, destroying everything that existed around it.
Sa Cho-hon received that using only his body.
The two Heavenly Demons, who were watching this fight from the side, were shining their eyes with great interest.
"Younger brother, who do you think will win?"
"Although Soma is strong, I don't think he can beat the one-ard man yet."
"What's the reason for thinking so?"
"Experience. That guy, he seems to be used to fighting with people stronger than him."
"Oh! Then, that ans the guy nad Black Heaven Lord is stronger than that guy."
As the Heavenly Demon had said, Soma was gradually being pushed back.
"You!"
When it seed Soma would win, he was pushed back, and when it seed he had the advantage, he was hit. As this situation repeated, he was about to lose his reason like last ti.
The two Heavenly Demons, who had been sitting and watching, moved.
"It's ti to intervene."
"Because if the Heavenly Killing Star goes berserk, it will be troubleso. Besides, he's a guy our young leader cherishes, so we can't just kill him."
Hyuk Sa-wol appeared in front of Soma. Soma, at the sudden appearance of an intruder, emitted a huge killing intent.
"Die!"
Hyuk Sa-wol, who had confird the eyes that had already lost their reason, clenched his fist and drove it into Soma's face.
Thwack!
Soma lost consciousness in a single blow.
When Hyuk Sa-wol looked at the opposite side, a similar situation was occurring.
Sa Cho-hon, at the opponent who had suddenly appeared in front of him, felt a tension he had never felt before.
The hair on his whole body stood on end, and his pores opened wide, and sweat flowed profusely.
'Strong.'
At the sa ti as recognizing, Sa Cho-hon took out everything he had.
Blink.
He closes and opens his eyes.
Then his pupils beco narrow, and the density of his muscles rises more than ten tis the original.
"Oh! You've gathered the yin and yang energy in your muscles and have raised the density. A good idea."
The old man is evaluating!
Squeeze.
Sa Cho-hon's foot presses down on the ground.
He pulls up the power that started from his foot.
He concentrates all his power on his only right arm.
He extends that.
At that mont, a single hand gently wraps around his fist.
"For a young man, it's an amazing power."
Sa Cho-hon's eyes widen.
"But that is what I had already achieved in my pri. I also used to hit a bit in my old days."
Yoo Jin-sung lets go of his hand. And he folds his arm just as Sa Cho-hon had done. He straightens and twists his back. A rotational force is created. On the contrary, his legs are firmly on the ground, staying still.
No. What Sa Cho-hon saw was that his legs were offsetting the rotational force coming from his waist.
"In a fist, it's important to add power, but it's also important to offset it."
The density of Yoo Jin-sung's muscles now was insignificant compared to Sa Cho-hon's.
"Young man, do you know what happens when all the weight that exists in this world becos the sa?"
All the power centered on Yoo Jin-sung was converging to '0'.
"Any weight will fall at the sa speed. In other words, to express this in reverse, it can be any weight."
Thud.
Yoo Jin-sung's fist lightly touches Sa Cho-hon.
But the impact was by no ans light. Sa Cho-hon received a shock as if his whole body were being shattered by hitting a huge mountain.
"Cough!"
Sa Cho-hon, who had knelt down, raises his head.
"Oh! To be hit by this and not faint right away, as expected, the young people these days are amazing."
That was the last thing Sa Cho-hon heard.
At that mont, Yoo Jin-sung quickly looks to one side.
Swish.
At the end of his gaze, there was only a huge tree branch.
Yoo Jin-sung quickly shifts his gaze.
Swish.
Just then, Hyuk Sa-wol kicks off the ground.
He kicks off the ground once more in the air.
The Void-Stepping Steps, which would only appear in legends.
His body accelerates even more.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hyuk Sa-wol, who had perford the Void-Stepping Steps three tis in a row, swings his sword greatly at the empty space.
At that mont, the empty space splits.
To be precise, the boundary was broken.
"I had released the bait, but an unexpectedly big fish was caught."
A handso man appeared.
The mont Hyuk Sa-wol and Yoo Jin-sung saw the handso man, the two of them kicked off the ground at the sa ti, as if they had promised.
Hyuk Sa-wol raised his sword.
Yoo Jin-sung clenched his fist.
The two of them imdiately deployed the maximum technique they could.
"Following Heaven Boundary."
"Fault Boundary."
Hyuk Sa-wol added one more law to the existing Following Heaven Boundary.
First, in the Following Heaven Boundary, only the power of following heaven can be used.
Second, the existence of the reversal of heaven is impossible.
A crack appears in the handso man's body.
-When you et the Black Heaven Lord, imdiately spread the Following Heaven Boundary. If my prediction is correct, he is a body of the Great Reversal of Heaven Art. Perhaps the reversal of heaven will be released, and a separation into the original body will occur.
Soon, about ten people popped out of his body.
He was a little surprised at the larger-than-expected number.
And at his revealed appearance, Hyuk Sa-wol's eyes widened.
Because his appearance was the sa as the first ti.
Yoo Jin-sung perford a second technique.
Art (藝).
The pinnacle of a technique different from a boundary.
Because he had trapped each other in a one-dinsional straight line with the fault boundary before, the second technique that Yoo Jin-sung had activated was bound to hit.
-When his original form is revealed, use the maximum technique you can. The opponent is a person who has reached the Profound Gown, so you don't know what kind of technique he will use.
One Mind (一心).
The greatest art that Yoo Jin-sung could do, with the sole intention of killing the opponent.
Yoo Jin-sung extended his fist.
Due to the effect of the fault boundary, the fist hit the opponent.
Yoo Jin-sung's eyes widened.
"Amazing. To think that you have devised a way to counter the Great Reversal of Heaven Art."
The handso man's pupils were shining like the stars of the night.
A certain shape was drawn in them.
"I never dread that I would see my ancestor here."
"Older brother, I think we're fucked."
"That's right, younger brother."
The founder who had established the thousand-year Demonic Cult.
The first demon and the master of the demons, whom even the Dragon God Lord had only managed to seal.
The na Heavenly Demon was created by modeling this person in front.
"Nice to et you. My descendants.”
