Chapter: 852

With his success, the Imperial palace had forced dozens of eunuchs to drink the blood, but they had all burned to death, making him the only one who could take it.

‘Lord of the Demonic Cult. You have no choice but to accept my offer.’

The emperor had given enough reasons.

If he refused, it meant that Chun Yeowun was acknowledging that he and his subordinates couldn’t defeat the Guardian Escort.

If that happened, the Imperial Palace could spread a rumor, stating that they had the power to subdue the Demonic Cult.

‘My escort was the first Admiral of the East Spear, he was very skilled even before consuming the Qilin’s Blood. His skills are well known throughout the entirety of Wulin too.’

The emperor was confident in winning his bet.

Whatever the situation, he would never lose.

At that time, Chun Yeowun passed by Ran-yeong and walked forward.

He had come to a decision.

“Nice. To accept my...”

Wheeing!

‘!?’

Before the emperor could finish his words, a jet black flame rose from Chun Yeowun’s right hand, and soon formed into a sword.

It was the Sky Demon Sword imbued with the Qilin’s Flame, the invisible sword.

‘Black flame?’

There were times when the Emperor invited masters from various factions of Wulin to learn about qi and internal energy, but never once had he felt such an eerie energy.

‘What is that?’

The Emperor was puzzled by the unknown energy he was feeling for the first time, that was when Lim Gyu-hwa, who was standing proudly for a moment, spoke in a voice of urgency.

“Your-your Majesty! Please hold off the fight for a moment...”

It was then.

Slash!

“Ah!”

In the blink of an eye, Chun Yeowun appeared in front of Lim Gyu-hwa.

Even he, who was considered the strongest by the Emperor, a Supreme Master level warrior, was quick to know something was off.

‘What is he?’

Flustered, Lim Gyu-hwa, drew his golden Wave sword from his waist.

The Wave Sword moved around like a whip, and then formed air like waves in the sky, creating high-quality shields.

‘I had to make it in a hurry!’

It was a sword shield which was made from the technique of the Wave Sword.
