It seems as though he's taken on some demonic powers at some point >>719903351 and is part of what he's trying to atone for by protecting the residents of the Eighth City.
He enters the tournament on the advice of Yinglong, to restore the Eighth City back to the Capital Cities of Heaven. But he's also told to retrieve the (currently broken) sword of Fu Xi, the blade Lin Lie wielded as Swordmaster before he became Iron Fist. This sword apparently can break open the tomb of Chiyou, who can supposedly restore balance to the Collapsing Universe, the one that this game's Daredevil, Scarlet Witch and Magik are from.
Now that's a lot of ous and ongs, but I looked up both Yinglong and Chiyou, and both are from Chinese mythology, Yinglong is a dragon and rain deity, Chiyou is a war and chaos deity and in some myths a demon god. Which sounds more than a little sketchy to me. So perhaps Daredevil is being misled by a masquerading imprisoned bad guy.
