Chapter: 854

“In... indeed... Div... Divine.... Mas...”

Thud!

Unfortunately, he couldn’t complete what he wanted to say before he fell to the ground.

“H-how is this possible?”

The Emperor, who was flustered by what had happened in the blink of an eye, was approached by Chun Yeowun, as he walked away from Lim Gyu-hwa’s body.

Phak!

With the most cynical smile on his face he said.

“Your Majesty is right. When the favor continues, it gets mistaken for a privilege, right?”

Being invincible can be weird.

The difference between a low-ranked master and a high-ranked master wasn’t very big.

However, the stronger a person got, the bigger the gap would get.

It was one of the reasons why the people of Wulin clung to the concept of strength, higher levels, and internal energy rather than working hard to reach a higher noble status.

For example, the internal energy and qi required to use techniques would become less as one achieved higher levels of cultivation.

Of course, when it comes to techniques, their efficiency depends on the situation, the use, and the understanding, more than the cultivation level. Nonetheless, such dependency simply fades away when the warriors reach higher levels.

Lim Gyu-hwa, the Wave Sword.

He had reached the perfect Supreme Master level.

Even compared to the top five skilled warriors of the past, he must be one of the top three.

Moreover, he had lived for a very long time, his experience in martial arts would most likely make him the strongest person in the current Wulin.

‘... Oh goodness!’

‘How could he be taken down so easily...’

Great Guardian Marakim, and Great Elder Ran-yeong, who were worried about their Lord, were immediately confused.

It had all happened before they could even try to dissuade their Lord from engaging in battle.

The moment that Lim Gyu-hwa appeared and revealed his identity, they’d grown worried that Yeowun might be in danger.

However, it ended in Lim Gyu-hwa’s swift decapitation after just three strikes.

‘Ugh! Unbelievable.’

Elder Cheong-su and his disciples, who were watching from the side, wore dumbfounded expressions.

Was there a sky above the sky?

When they saw Lim Gyu-hwa, who was called the Guardian Escort, rumored for his unparalleled strength, they’d also grown worried.

But then, Chun Yeowun had cut off his arm and neck as if he was dealing with a low-level warrior.

‘There is no way that what my eyes just saw is an illusion. It must be the black invisible sword he made using that black flame!’
