The Ritual of Awakening the Demon Army's Spirits
Ho Chen took a deep, slightly heavy breath. He felt the oxygen level in the valley was extremely low, even though trees lined the foothills in abundance."How strange..." he muttered softly."What's strange?" asked Fang Yun, having overheard his friend talking to himself.Ho Chen furrowed his brow at Fang Yun, who looked completely unbothered. “Don’t you feel a heaviness when breathing?”“No. Why?”“Nothing. It’s just... I feel like I’m breathing heavily,” Ho Chen replied while turning his gaze toward the bamboo forest. “We’d better go on foot. I’m afraid the sound of horses might draw attention.”Ho Chen leapt off his horse and tied the reins to a nearby tree. Fang Yun did the same, choosing a tree beneath which fresh grass grew abundantly to tie his steed.The incarnation of the Sun God moved ahead first. But after just a few steps, Fang Yun
Execute
It was no great trouble for the son of Duke Fang An to eliminate the dozen men who had surrounded and attacked him. Especially now that his sword possessed a unique power—capable of freezing his enemies' bodies solid.Meanwhile, Ho Chen had already entered the thick bamboo forest. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for the location of the sect that was said to be hidden deep within the woods. The dense, towering bamboo trees made the search all the more difficult.However, after an exhausting and relentless effort, the young man finally discovered a narrow path which he assumed led toward the location of the Mad Bamboo Sect.Though the bamboo forest wasn't particularly wide, the Mad Bamboo Sect, situated at its heart, remained invisible from the outside. Thousands of bamboo trees grew in dense clusters, forming a natural fortress that concealed everything within. Unless one could find the narrow trail—the only access to the sect
Battle at the Mad Bamboo Sect
As the bright afternoon slowly turned into evening, a sudden roar of thunder rumbled across the sky. At that exact moment, a shout came from a figure wearing a bamboo hat, standing atop the altar."Now!"The man wearing a head cover, who served as the executioner, raised his large machete high above his head. In a single breath, he swung his massive blade toward the girl's neck.Tiiing!!!A sharp clanging sound rang out suddenly. The machete flew from the executioner's grasp, and the man himself collapsed to the ground, lifeless, with fresh blood pouring from his neck.The bamboo-hatted figure was utterly shocked to see his executioner lying motionless, bleeding profusely."Bastard! Who dares to interfere with this ritual!?" he roared furiously."Don't think you can revive the spirits of the Demon Army! As long as I live, heretics like you will always be my prey!"The bamboo-hatted figure and his dozen disciples surrounding the altar immediately turned their heads. They saw a young ma
The Solar Heat Energy Explosion
The three figures wearing bamboo hats realized that the shadowy fist attack was not an illusion. They saw a tree wither and die upon being struck by a stray attack.From that incident, they finally discovered a way to avoid being endlessly pursued by their opponent’s attack. They used various objects to block it, including the pandan-leaf-thatched house where they had been residing."Turns out you're quite capable, young man. No wonder you dared to attack our sect," said one of the figures in a bamboo hat.Ho Chen ignored the man’s words. He was now fully occupied dodging the barrage of energy attacks rapidly launched at him.The young man leaped around to evade the incoming assaults. Even while still airborne, Ho Chen was forced to channel the solar heat energy to block the attack.Suspended in mid-air with no foothold, his body was violently flung backward, though he sustained no significant injuries.Before he could even land, two of his attackers swiftly launched consecutive follo
The Destruction of the Mad Bamboo Sect
For a moment, Ho Chen remained kneeling before shifting into a cross-legged position. The twenty-year-old young man meditated, drawing in the natural elements around him to restore his inner strength.“Ho Chen, my son… you cannot always rely on the explosive energy of the sun to defeat your enemies. Out there are still many black sect warriors far stronger than the three opponents you just faced. Quickly, study and train in the techniques found in the scroll Li Shimin gave you.” The voice of Queen Qiang Hui echoed in his mind.Ho Chen fell silent in contemplation. He realized he had yet to practice even one of the techniques from the scroll given by Li Shimin and still frequently relied on the moves taught by Li Hao’s twin brother.Moments later, he heard someone calling out loudly—it was Fang Yun’s voice.Ho Chen opened his eyes and stood, raising a hand. “I’m over here!” he shouted.

Left Without Saying Goodbye
The soldiers spread out to search for the whereabouts of Fang Yun and Ho Chen after Duke Fang An issued the order. However, even after an hour of combing the area, the two young men had completely vanished without a trace.Some assumed that the two youths had gone hunting for wild animals to fill their empty stomachs.Eventually, one soldier, feeling curious, returned to inspect the tent where the two had rested the night before.There, he found a rolled-up piece of dried leather lying on the mat. When he unrolled it, he discovered a letter addressed to Duke Fang An. Hurriedly, the soldier rolled it back up and ran to deliver the letter to the ruler of the Luyin duchy."Forgive me, Duke... I found this inside Young Master Fang Yun’s tent," said the soldier as he handed over the leather scroll he had found.Duke Fang An frowned deeply. He accepted the dried leather scroll and opened it.Forgive me, Father. Ho Chen and I ha
The Sword Technique of the Freezing Wave
Day by day, the two young men of similar age continued to train tirelessly. Neither of them knew the meaning of fatigue as they relentlessly pushed themselves to strengthen their martial skills.Compared to Fang Yun, Ho Chen had to work harder to master the three sword techniques he was required to learn. In the first week, the reincarnation of the Sun God successfully mastered the Night Ruler Sword Technique.This sword technique, primarily designed for night battles, focused heavily on close-range combat. To maximize its potential, he combined it with his ability to see in the dark.After completing the first technique, Ho Chen chose to rest for a day to recover his strength, as the Wave Breaker Sword Technique demanded much more energy to perform.As the name suggests, the Wave Breaker Sword Technique functioned mostly as a killing machine against large numbers of enemies and was also effective against opponents with formidable defenses due to the immense power it unleashed.Master
The Village Chief’s Deception
An old woman, who by her appearance was clearly far past the age of working, welcomed the two young men with a forced smile stretched across her wrinkled lips.“What would you like to order, young men?” the old woman asked politely.Ho Chen looked at the elderly woman, whose face was covered in wrinkles. Her hair was completely white, and her back slightly hunched from age.“We’d like to order two portions of food and drinks, Granny,” he replied.“Please wait a moment, young men. I need to cook first,” the old woman said as she walked away with a slight limp to prepare their meals.Ho Chen and Fang Yun exchanged glances, puzzled by the words "need to cook first."In their minds, a tavern or eatery should already have prepared dishes ready to serve.But since they had already placed their order, they could only sigh and try to understand.While waiting for their food, the two young men turned their attention to the stage, which was now crowded with onlookers.Their curiosity naturally
