< According to the laws of the martial arts world >
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Tens of thousands of troops galloped across the plains, followed by a huge cloud of dust.
“Hey!”
They were the warriors of the Murim Alliance led by the Murim Alliance leader, Yulgi. Their number reached 30,000.
Yul-gi was riding in the lead. With his superhuman eyesight, he spotted the Cheonghae branch in the distance.
‘We’re almost there.’
After a while, the unmanned people who were riding beside him also discovered the Cheonghae branch. They approached Yalulgi and spoke.
“Your Majesty, I can see the Cheonghae branch.”
“I’m watching too. I’ll be there in an hour.”
Yul-gi already felt his blood boiling hot.
The Battle of Jeongma.
A showdown between the Demonic Cult and the Martial Arts Alliance, with their fates at stake. In the history of martial arts, countless heroes were born and fell in the Great Battle of the Demonic Cult.
The war was sometimes won by the Murim Alliance, and sometimes by the Demonic Cult. However, it was never properly settled.
‘But this time it will be different.’
Yul-gi thought that he was the man who would put an end to this repeated history.
‘I am different from the weak martial arts leaders of the past.’
Unlike the previous lords who were content to simply repel the invasion of the Demonic Cult, Yelü Qi planned to lead all his forces into Xinjiang.
A feat that even the Sword Emperor of 100 years ago and the living legends of the Three Kingdoms of Heaven could not accomplish.
‘I will destroy the Demonic Cult with my own hands!’
By accomplishing this feat, King Yeluqi will gain immortal fame.
“Hey!”
The bloodthirsty horse that Yulgi rode on charged forward alone. As if it had been infected by its owner’s passionate emotions, it spoke harshly and slurred its words.
“Your Majesty!”
“It’s dangerous to go ahead alone!”
“Slow down!”
Behind, Yulgi’s escort warriors followed hurriedly. However, Yulgi did not slow down. The strong wind cooled his heated body.
I wanted to shout this out loud, if only there were no one to listen.
‘My time will come soon! This Yalulgi will break the neck of the Heavenly Horse and become the best in the world!’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that for that alone, Yul-gi became the leader of the martial arts world.
It was impossible to challenge the Three Great Masters of the World who had saved the martial arts world 100 years ago and become legends. It was an unwritten rule, an unholy law.
In order to be recognized as the best in the world, the best and only way was to kill the Demonic Cult Leader, or Cheonma.
“Heavenly horse. Wash your neck and wait!”
Yul-gi, who could not suppress his excitement, raised his head and shouted in a loud voice.
“Wow!”
The young warriors, inspired by their leader, also shouted.
The desires of other martial artists were not much different from those of the martial arts leader.
Those who want to prove their martial arts skills by fighting against the Demonic Cult.
One who wishes to gain fame by achieving merit in war.
Those who simply want to acquire wealth and power.
The warriors of the Jeongpa were taught to suppress such desires. However, the war against the Demonic Cult was an exception.
There is no problem in killing your opponents without hesitation and being proud of it. In fact, you will be praised for it.
Because the opponent is a demon who deserves to be killed.
‘I’m active in this Jeongma War···.’
‘I will be famous throughout the world!’
Tens of thousands of desires became one and galloped across the plains.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!
Of course, there were some among them who kept their cool.
‘What is your lord thinking?’
Namgung Jeongcheon (Biyoung) was riding alongside the heads of the five great families. He had a particularly calm expression.
‘Why don’t you give me new orders?’
Biyoung was a shadow that moved for her lord, not for her own glory. She had been like that all her life. It was the same when she served the now deceased Namgung Jeongcheon, and it was the same now that she served Pacheongeomje.
‘If it’s him, he’s definitely plotting another scary scheme…’
Ever since she saw Namgung Jeongcheon die in vain after being tricked by Daein, Biyoung thought of Daein as the most cruel and fearful person in the world.
‘···Are you perhaps testing me?’
A cold sweat ran down Biyoung’s back. In fact, Daein had momentarily forgotten about his existence.
‘···I see! You want me to realize it myself and take action. You mean there’s no need for passive subordinates to conquer the martial arts world!’
Biyoung, who had guessed her master’s deep intentions on her own, muttered to herself, ‘Indeed, hmm.’
He began to think deeply about how he should conduct himself in the future.
And further back,
“Grandpa. I hope your brother is okay?”
“Of course. He’s not an ordinary man.”
Namgung Hyeon and old man Jin were riding horses.
The two men participated in the Jeongma Battle in the name of the Geomhwangmun. Thanks to the full support of Biyeong, who controlled the Namgung Sega family, the two men were accompanied by the Namgung Sega family’s elite warriors.
Namgung Hyun thought about Daein.
‘I owe you a favor that I can never repay, even if I spend my whole life doing it.’
The great man changed his fate, which was to be pursued his entire life and eventually die a miserable death, simply because he was a descendant of the Sword Emperor.

In reality, it may have been nothing special to the person. However, the favor Namgung Hyeon received was something that could not be calculated.
Therefore, Namgung Hyun planned to follow Daein even if he sided with the Demonic Cult in this war.
“···No matter what choice you make, I will follow your will.”
“This old man is the same.”
Old Man Jin also nodded heavily. Thanks to the great man, he too was able to release the lump in his heart that he had held in his heart his entire life.
How could a human being turn away from such kindness?
And there’s one more thing.
‘Isn’t he our future grandson-in-law?’
Old Man Jin kept his second purpose hidden. It was still too early to reveal this plan.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo!
With so many people’s thoughts intersecting, the 30,000-strong Murim Alliance army arrived at their destination, the Cheonghae branch.
and,
“Thank you for coming from far away.”
The elder greeted them.
***
The great man opened the door wide and let the troops in.
However, the 30,000 troops could not all enter, so more than half remained outside.
“Meet the leader.”
The great man politely accepted the lottery ticket from the leader. Yal-gi looked around, as if he was greeting him.
“Why are you here? Those demonic bastards?”
The letter received by Yalulgi stated that the Cheonghae branch had been attacked by an unidentified monster and suffered serious damage.
But when I actually got there, it looked pretty clean, even though there were traces of damage here and there.
‘There are hardly any injured drones visible.’
This was something that could not have happened while at war with the Demonic Cult.
The man said.
“Let me get straight to the point. The Cheonmasingyo have returned to their home base.”
“···What does that mean?”
To the martial arts leader who made a face of complete incomprehension, the great man kindly explained it again.
“As the head of the Cheonghae branch, I signed a truce with the Cheonmasin Church. They returned to their home base and promised never to invade the Central Plains again.”
The man spoke calmly, his expression not changing at all.
But the expressions on the listeners’ faces changed from moment to moment. Their final reactions were confusion and anger.
“What the hell is that?”
“The Demonic Cult has retreated!”
They ran almost nonstop for over a thousand miles. But the enemies turned back. And they even negotiated a ceasefire without permission.
The man smiled kindly as if to say, “What’s the problem?”
“The war is over. Isn’t it a good thing that there is no more bloodshed?”
Thud.
Yul-gi ground his teeth without realizing it. A fire rose inside him. He glared at the great man and said.
“Who told you to call a truce on your own? You just won the late-stage competition and you made that decision on behalf of me, the leader of the martial arts world?”
At the same time, a fierce energy began to flow from Yalulgi’s body. The energy was seething like a volcano on the verge of eruption.
“Pacheon Sword Master! Answer me!”
This was a clear abuse of authority and treason. How dare you try to ruin my grand plans!
That was when.
“Your Majesty.”
On behalf of the great man, the military officer Zhuge Qiao who was standing next to him spoke.
“At that time, there was no choice. The previous branch manager, Chuhonchang Daehyeop, and most of the leaders had passed away, so Pacheongeomje had to take over the reins.”
“Does that mean you negotiated with the enemy without my permission?”
Zhuge Liang bowed deeply to the leader of the martial arts world.
“If you are going to punish me, please punish me and not the Pacheon Sword Master. I was the one who invited this person to become the branch manager.”
Zhuge Jiao owed his life to the great man.
He wasn’t alone. Most of the unmanned personnel of the Cheonghae branch owed their lives to Daein.
“Your Majesty the Heavenly Sword has done nothing wrong!”
“You saved us from dying!”
“How can it be wrong to reduce useless blood!”
The warriors of the Murim Alliance Cheonghae branch stood guard over the man and protected him.
“···Your Majesty. I am the one who met with the leader of the Demonic Cult and negotiated directly with him. If you are going to punish him, then punish me as well.”
Moreover, even Cheongun, whom he had trusted, sided with Pacheongeomje.
‘These guys···!’
Yul-gi looked at Zhuge Jiao, the soldiers of the Qinghai branch, Cheong-un, and lastly, Pa-cheon-geom-je with surprised eyes.
‘What a cunning guy. In that short space of time, he turned the Cheonghae branch into his own power!’
In that moment, goosebumps ran through his entire body. It seemed that Yul-gi had finally come to know the true nature of the Pacheon Sword Master.
There was another person who had similar thoughts to Yul-gi. Bi-yeong covered her mouth with her hand.
‘You are truly my lord…!’
In such a short period of time, it was impossible to fathom how deep his intentions were in taking control of the Cheonghae branch and building a force that could stand up to the leader of the martial arts world.
‘···Why are you guys being so burdensome?’
No one knew that the person involved was also embarrassed.
“Phew···.”
Yulgi took a moment to catch his breath. He knew that getting angry in this situation wouldn’t help.
However, I had no intention of returning to Hanam just like that.
Yul-gi said.
“···I won’t punish anyone. Bring me the ceasefire agreement I signed with the Demonic Cult.”
At those words, Zhuge Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. He handed the document to the leader of the martial arts world.
“Here it is.”
Sizzle, sizzle.
“Your Majesty!”
Yul-gi tore up the armistice agreement as if he was looking at something. Then he looked back and spoke in a loud voice.
“A ceasefire? This is a deception by the Demonic Cult. If we return in peace, they will surely come down here to attack again!”
Yul-gi came here to fight a war.
Even if there was no ceasefire, and even if the Demonic Cult surrendered, he had no intention of stopping.
“Do you think it was a waste of blood? If we do not shed blood today, our descendants will shed blood at the hands of the demonic bastards for generations to come!”
Yul-gi’s argument resonated with the warriors who had traveled a long way together. The warriors raised their weapons and shouted.
“Your Majesty, what you said is right!”
“We can never go back like this!”
“The blood of the demon cult!”
Yul-gi took over the atmosphere in an instant. The man frowned and looked at her.
‘It’s coming out stronger than I expected.’
I thought it wouldn’t be easy to persuade him, but Yalulgi was more stubborn than I thought.
But the great man had one more secret weapon for such a situation.
“Can I say something?”
The voice that cut through the shouts of the unmanned people contained great internal energy. Everyone’s eyes were simultaneously turned to the same place.
A swordsman carrying a backpack was walking towards them in a state of empty space. The famous martial artists who recognized him shouted in surprise.
“Hey, Black Star!”
“Why are you here!”
It wasn’t just Geomseong. Behind him, the Taoist King, Shinchang, and the Three Great Swordsmen of the World all appeared.
Groan, groan.
With the appearance of the three people, the atmosphere became as noisy as a market day.
The three absolute masters known as legends in the martial arts world.
Most of the people here were unfamiliar with their faces for the first time.
“How could the Three Kingdoms···”
Yul-gi asked with an anxious expression. He was also surprised by the appearance of the three sects, but he was more curious about why they had appeared.
Geomseong said with a grin.
“I have something to say to you, my lord.”
At that moment, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of the great man’s mouth.
‘This clears things up here too.’
Cheonhasamjeol will persuade Yulgi to make the Murim Alliance withdraw its forces.
Even if he is the leader of the martial arts world, he cannot ignore their words.
‘It’s definitely comfortable since there are a lot of munchkins around. I don’t really have to fight either···.’
“Since your opinions and those of the Pacheon Sword Master are so different, I would like to propose a way to resolve this issue.”
While everyone was listening to the voice of the blacksmith, the great man, who thought it was all over, was leisurely lost in his own thoughts.
‘When we return to Earth, I’ll train Hogu and the other guys a bit more. I’ll just let them handle the remaining disasters on their own.’
This time, the Taoist king spoke.
“Since ancient times, when conflicts arose between people, wouldn’t it be natural to resolve them according to the laws of the martial arts world?”
‘hmm?’
···As I listened, something seemed strange. When the elder tilted his head in puzzlement, Shin Chang smiled and answered.
“Honey, how about resolving this issue between the leader and the Heavenly Sword Master according to the laws of the martial arts world?”
The elder hurriedly intervened.
“Wait a minute. What is that···.”
Geomseong finished his speech with a bright smile. It was a conclusion worthy of an absolute master.
“I’m talking about the rain.”
The man immediately sent a telegram to question him.
[That’s different from what I said earlier!]
Clearly, Geomseong had promised Daein that he would persuade Yulgi to bring back his troops.
[I was going to do that at first, too.]
Geomseong continued speaking with a mischievous smile.
[When I think about it, it’s annoying. It was the same when I fought against Cheonma. Why are you the only one trying to eat me?]
[But still, this is a bit···.]
When Daein tried to question Geomseong further, Yulgi was the first to accept the offer.
“Okay, everyone stand back!”
There was no time to stop them. In an instant, the unmanned personnel except for Yul-gi and Dae-in retreated like the tide receding.
“Pacheon Sword Master.”
A seat among the ten greatest masters in the world.
King Yeoluji clapped his two fists together in front of his chest. He glared at the man with sharp eyes and said.
“Do you agree to solve this problem in the way the Three Kingdoms have suggested?”
“······.”
The man looked around. Over a thousand unmanned people were watching the two people.
If you refuse here, not only will you be a laughing stock for the rest of your life, but you will also not be able to stop the Murim Alliance from invading the Cheonmasingyo.
After all, they are martial artists. They are a people who recognize and follow the strong.
‘I thought it would be easy.’
The old man sighed lightly and stepped forward.
“Let’s do that.”
A moment later, the leader of the martial arts world and the Pacheon Sword Master clashed in front of tens of thousands of people.
