Chapter 1: If I Could Be Reborn
“To perform such martial arts with a body poisoned by the ‘Poison of the Formless’!”
The masters of the Seomun Clan shouted in horror.
Seomun Clan, the most prestigious family that had produced numerous martial arts leaders.
At this moment, the Seomun Clan was cornered.
For one reason only.
They were unable to subdue Hyeon, the current martial arts leader and son-in-law of the Seomun Clan.
“That’s the Heavenly Wolf Martial Emperor, Baek Murang!”
“The greatest in the world who destroyed the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Snake Sect…!”
A man with long black hair fluttering, skillfully wielding his sword despite his precarious state.
He was none other than Baek Murang, known as the Heavenly Wolf Martial Emperor, the current martial arts leader.
Baek Murang was originally a figure with no background.
But after becoming the son-in-law of Seomun Hwi, the former martial arts leader of the previous generation, he joined forces with the Seomun Clan.
Always fighting at the forefront of the martial arts world, Baek Murang was praised as the ‘Heavenly Wolf Martial Emperor,’ following in his master’s footsteps to become a new martial arts leader.
And finally, he achieved the historic feat of destroying the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Snake Sect.
Now, he was under attack by the Seomun Clan.
Even the Twelve Elite Guards who always stood by Baek Murang’s side had long turned into lifeless bodies, leaving only him to stand and resist.
The reason Seomun Clan was attacking Baek Murang was simple.
With the disappearance of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Snake Sect… Baek Murang was no longer needed in the martial arts world that Seomun Clan sought to dominate.
“Argh…!”
Seomun Hwan, the son of the former clan leader, bit his lip.
Baek Murang, who had defeated the elite masters of Seomun Clan, was slowly approaching him.
“You despicable man… exerting such power while poisoned by the Formless Poison.”
“As expected, it was the Formless Poison.”
Clad in crimson armor, Baek Murang coldly remarked.
“Seomun Hwan, where is your younger sister?”
“What do you plan to do once you know that?”
“Don’t you even ask where my wife is?”
Baek Murang snorted.
“I wonder what kind of feeling made you feed me the Formless Poison.”
“Argh…”
If Baek Murang had been in good condition, he could have annihilated Seomun Clan on his own.
But the reason he found himself in this situation was that his wife had secretly poisoned him with the Formless Poison.
“It was a marriage arranged by the former clan leader’s will, with no love between us. Yet, I always tried to fulfill my responsibilities as a husband and as Seomun Clan’s son-in-law.”
“…”
“Even after inheriting the position of martial arts leader, I continued to respect Seomun Clan… but as soon as the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Snake Sect were destroyed, you turned on me. How disappointing.”
Baek Murang chuckled.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have cleaned up Seomun Clan and the martial arts world internally when my master passed away. Get rid of all the corrupt elders.”
“Baek Murang, your arrogant attitude is what sparked today’s conflict!”
Despite being a member of the righteous faction, Baek Mularng was excessively ruthless.
The leader of the Thousand Demon Sect and the Black Sand Alliance both coveted Baek Mularng.
Seo Munhwan felt threatened by that aspect of Baek Mularng.
“You could become a threat in this peaceful era! I can’t just leave someone like you to sit as the leader of the martial world!”
“So, are you planning to kill me and let Seo Munsae rule the martial world as he pleases?”
“From the start, I never liked you! Using a name taken from Cheonrangseong, not even Black or Red Tiger…!”
“Seo Munhwan.”
Even in front of Seo Munhwan, who was shouting in anger, Baek Mularng maintained a calm expression.
“Your voice keeps trembling. Your words are also all over the place.”
“Gah…!”
“All the masters who protected you are dead, so now you have to face me. It’s natural to be afraid.”
Spitting blood from his mouth, Baek Mularng slowly assumed a stance.
“Come at me, Seo Munhwan.”
“Baek… Mularng…”
“My body is dying from poison. This is your perfect chance to kill me.”
“…!”
Seo Munhwan, who had never once competed with Baek Mularng in the past ten years, knew well that he was not a match for him.
But now… there might be a chance.
“Come at me with all your might.”
“You…!”
Seo Munhwan unleashed the Bi Lamoogeukdo technique and charged forward.
The blue blade qi aimed for Baek Mularng’s vital point.
“…!”
Swish!
The sharp blade pierced through Seo Munhwan’s neck with a swift force.
Even in a state of being poisoned by the Nameless Venom, Baek Mularng’s martial prowess was overwhelming.
“Seo Munhwan, you are not worthy of being the leader of Seo Munse.”
“Baek… Mularng…”
“You are even less qualified to covet the position of the martial world leader.”
“…”
Seo Munhwan collapsed weakly.
Baek Mularng, who had been watching him for a while, sighed heavily.
Though he endured with his mental strength, he was reaching his limit.
“…”
Looking around, he saw numerous corpses.
Witnessing the gruesome scene, Baek Mularng felt deep regret.
If only he had made different choices in the past, such a sight would not have unfolded.
“If I had known it would come to this, I should have never gotten married in the first place.”
He murmured with a bitter expression.
“I never intended to witness such a sight as this as a martial arts master.”
As a martial arts master, he achieved great feats.
He accomplished the feat of destroying the Thousand Demon Sect and the Black Sand Union.
However, that was not all.
While fighting on the front lines to defeat the enemies of the martial world, the internal affairs of the martial world were rotting away.
Major martial arts factions, including the Seomun Family, were worrying about how to divide the power among themselves.
And thus, they moved to eliminate the hindrance, the White Moor.
“I should have led the martial world properly.”
If he could be reborn.
He would create a new martial world.
Condemning the misdeeds of the dark path while not tolerating the corruption of the white path… he would create an alliance that could truly rectify the world.
“Yes, in the next life, I will definitely…”
The White Moor’s eyes slowly closed.
If there is a next life, at that time, he vowed to truly create a proper martial world.
