Chapter #221. Who?Slash! Slash! Slash!Three slashes from Zhao Yun’s swords instantly split apart the bodies of the purple crocodile beasts, each three meters long, that were charging at him. The low-realm beasts were immediately cut in two by his spirit sword strikes.Elsewhere, Argha slammed his spiked black mace into the shallow water’s surface. His weapon smashed down hard, sending the thick purple water surging outward in massive waves as it struck the swamp’s foundation.The shockwave threw the swift purple crocodile beasts in the water into the air. Seizing the opening, the Ao brothers, Ming Zhi, Meyleen, and Chu Hua unleashed their attacks on the beasts caught by the blast.But it didn’t stop there. Zhao Yun followed up with a burst of energy, swinging both swords down toward the water. His wave of sword energy scattered the thick purple water in all directions. Not only did his sword energy cause the water to evaporate, but it also sliced through the crocodile beasts’ bodies

Chapter #223. Similar but Not the SameThe man stared intensely at Zhao Yun. Even though Zhao Yun had just helped him, the events of the past still made him wary of the young man standing before him.Still, Zhao Yun’s offer to talk seemed tolerable, so he agreed.Now the two of them stepped closer, closing the distance between them to just about two meters.“Let me introduce myself my name is Zhao Yun,” Zhao Yun said briefly.“I’m To Mu. Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?” To Mu asked cautiously.“My team and I want to enter that fire palace. So, can we go inside?” Zhao Yun asked bluntly.“What’s your purpose? Are you sure you have no other intention?” To Mu asked suspiciously, staying alert.“No. That’s all,” Zhao Yun answered flatly.“What are you looking for in there? Besides, you won’t be able to cross the flames surrounding the palace,” To Mu explained.“Well, who knows until I try? I need to go in there to search for something my friends and I need,” Zhao Yun said aga

Chapter #225. Destiny That LeadsZhao Yun stepped across the red line that stretched across the floor. As soon as one foot touched it, he could feel a powerful pressure from above pushing down on his body.With every step he took, the pressing force increased. Yet despite the pressure pressing on him, it meant nothing compared to the intense training he had undergone in the past.In just thirty breaths, Zhao Yun had already reached the second red line, marking the end of the pressing force’s range.Before him now stood a giant clear crystal sphere, three meters in diameter, within which burned a small, faint flame.“So this crystal ball is a tool to measure the strength of one’s soul. Though it looks simple, I have a feeling it’s not as straightforward as it seems,” Zhao Yun muttered to himself.Without rushing, he carefully examined the large clear crystal sphere. He walked around it, inspecting every inch with focused attention.Thirty breaths passed.After thoroughly studying the la

Chapter #227. HonestyWith visible frustration, Tao Qian threw a storage ring from one of his fingers toward Zhao Yun. Without any shame, Zhao Yun immediately slipped the ring onto one of his own fingers.Tao Qian was about to speak, but a crack in the sky stopped him from continuing the words already on the tip of his tongue.Suddenly, Tao Qian’s body began to be slowly pulled into a spatial rift that had opened.“When will we fight again?” Tao Qian asked once more.“Anytime as long as you’ve found the answer to my question and truly understand yourself,” Zhao Yun replied calmly.“What’s your purpose in doing all this?” Tao Qian asked seriously.“You’re strong… and I want to fight you when you’re at your peak!” Zhao Yun shouted, his eyes fixed on Tao Qian as he was drawn toward the rift.Tao Qian was stunned by Zhao Yun’s words. He hadn’t expected Zhao Yun to truly see him as a rival.Slash!Tao Qian’s body vanished the moment the light pulling him in reached the spatial crack.“Hm?”

Chapter #229. Demi DemonThe woman, seeing Zhao Yun pointing at the throne of the Flame Palace, could only respond with a faint smile.“Why did you choose that throne? Do you wish to become the master of this palace? Are you certain about that? Wouldn’t it make you look overly ambitious, reaching for something your own hands can’t grasp?” she asked, bombarding Zhao Yun with a flurry of questions.“I think sometimes it’s necessary! Having ambition and big dreams is essential to push yourself to the limit.”“There’s a saying: Dream as high as the sky. If you fall, you’ll fall among the stars,” Zhao Yun answered calmly.The woman could only respond with a wry smile, her barrage of questions shut down by a single sentence that left her speechless.“So, can I claim it?” Zhao Yun asked, gazing intently at the woman before him.“Yes!” the woman answered quickly.“But before that, there’s something you must do first,” she added.She immediately tore open the air, creating a spatial rift that
