Offering Ritual II
The next morning, Cheng Yu went to meet Zhao Wen. He wanted to make sure whether his new friend would truly participate in the offering ritual or not.“I’m ready. This afternoon we’ll go there!” Zhao Wen replied after Cheng Yu asked him.“Are you sure?”Zhao Wen nodded firmly.“Alright, I’ll inform them,” Cheng Yu answered. He then stood up and walked toward the Poison Fang Sect.“Don’t worry, we’ll just play along with their game!” said Fang Yun suddenly after Cheng Yu left.“Are you certain, Fang Yun?”“Last night, while you went there with Cheng Yu, I slipped inside and studied the strength they possess. The sect leader holds great power,” Fang Yun replied.Zhao Wen was confused by Fang Yun’s way of thinking, which to him was strange. “If you already know he’s powerful, why are you still so reckless about going forward with this plan?”“We’ll never know the limits of our own strength unless we try,” Fang Yun answered.“Even if death could be the consequence?” Zhao Wen countered.Fa
Illusion Attack
"Ah, so you also possess a killing aura," said Fang Yun before releasing his own killing aura, one far denser than that of Sin Po.Fang Yun then removed the cloth covering his head, feeling the heat."He's still so young, yet his killing aura is this strong," thought Sin Po after seeing Fang Yun’s face.Admittedly, he was shocked, for the killing aura emitted by the youth before him was heavier than his own."So you’re actually quite formidable. No wonder you dared to attack my Sect!""My abilities are nothing special, Elder," Fang Yun smiled faintly. "In truth, I had no intention of interfering in your affairs. But since you sacrificed human lives as offerings, I am compelled to act! How about this—release the girl, and we can pretend we never had any conflict?"Hearing Fang Yun’s words, which seemed to belittle him, Sin Po laughed loudly."What did you just say? Pretend we have no conflict? You and that friend of yours slaughtered my disciples, and you think you can just say that so
Drunken Dragon Claw
As it became harder to evade the spreading poison, Fang Yun released a surge of killing aura, so overwhelming that it froze Sin Po in place. “He still has this much killing aura?” Disbelief was written all over Sin Po’s face. He had never encountered such a situation before. “Drunken Dragon Claw!” Fang Yun slashed his hand across, tearing Sin Po’s chest and stomach, hurling him dozens of meters away. Though it didn’t kill him instantly, Fang Yun’s strike left Sin Po gravely wounded. Sin Po clutched his wound as blood gushed from his mouth. Yet instead of despair, he laughed wildly. “You managed to wound me badly, but at the same time, I’ve struck you with my deadliest poison—Hell Poison Palm.” His laughter echoed, drowning out the pain of his injuries. “In less than two minutes, you will die in unbearable agony!” He laughed on, though the blood choking his throat made him cough between fits of laughter. But gradually, the laughter faded when he saw the young man before him stand
Mercenaries
“Fang Yun, should we help them?” Zhao Wen asked after they stopped beneath a tree.“We don’t even know what this fight is about. How could we decide to interfere?” Fang Yun replied while keeping his eyes fixed on the battle, which was becoming increasingly one-sided.“I’ll ask the soldiers guarding that carriage!” Zhao Wen said, receiving a nod from Fang Yun.Without delay, Zhao Wen spurred his horse forward swiftly until he reached the carriage, where five soldiers stood guard.“What do you want?!” barked one soldier, brandishing his spear with clear suspicion written on his face.“Forgive me, Sir Soldier. I was just passing by. Why is there a battle happening here?”The soldier examined Zhao Wen closely, spear still pointed straight ahead, before answering, “They are mercenaries hired by Prince Bai Hao.”“Forgive me, I don’t quite understand what you mean. We only arrived four days ago from another land,” Zhao Wen replied.“We?”Zhao Wen pointed toward Fang Yun, who was still watchi
Searching for the Antidote
Fang Yun and Zhao Wen stopped when they heard a woman’s voice calling out to them. Zhao Wen, still curious about the beauty of Princess Xu Lan, quickly turned around to satisfy his curiosity.Princess Xu Lan walked toward them, escorted by several guards.“Masters, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I haven’t had the chance to express my gratitude to the both of you,” said Princess Xu Lan.Zhao Wen, who was easily captivated by beauty, could not stop staring at Xu Lan’s face, which was more beautiful than most women. Meanwhile, Fang Yun, who had also turned around, shifted his gaze to the trees around them, refusing to meet her eyes.“Masters, why are you so quiet?” Xu Lan asked shyly, feeling uneasy under Zhao Wen’s constant gaze. But she also glanced at Fang Yun, who seemed completely uninterested. That only made her even more curious about him.“Wen, I’ll be heading over there first,” Fang Yun said suddenly. Before Zhao Wen could reply, Fang Yun was already walking toward his hor
The Healer on Mount Jiuhua
“What is the result?” Emperor Ren Zi asked eagerly.“May I speak with you in private, Your Majesty?” the royal physician dared to request.The Emperor’s curiosity deepened. He nodded and led the physician into another chamber within the royal quarters.“What secret do you wish to share?”“My apologies, Your Majesty. But I will not be able to create the antidote needed for that young man,” the physician replied with his head lowered. For the first time in his career, he found himself unable to determine the right concoction for a cure.“What exactly is happening?”The physician shook his head. “I still cannot believe that young man is alive until now, Your Majesty. The poison coursing through his body is of the highest tier—so lethal that even I cannot identify what kind it is.”Emperor Ren Zi regretted having doubted Fang Yun. He never expected that, despite carrying such a deadly poison within him, the young man still thought of his daughter’s safety first.“That youth is no ordinary
White Monkey
“Master, you truly are remarkable to have seen through my plan. Then how should I go about abducting Princess Xu Lan and making her my wife?”“Let your soldiers act first, Prince. If they fail again, I will order Pan Yon and Xiu Feng to abduct Princess Xu Lan directly from the palace.”“Wouldn’t it be too dangerous to abduct her inside the palace? As much as possible, Emperor Ren Zi must not know anything until I have already made Princess Xu Lan my wife.”The old man smiled at his disciple’s concern. “Both of them possess high martial skills, Prince. For now, let them simply observe the Hong Dynasty palace.”“Very well, Master. We shall wait for my soldiers’ results first,” Prince Bai Hao replied.---Fang Yun spurred his horse forward, following the path the royal physician had described. Throughout the journey, no obstacles stood in his way, until he finally arrived at the foot of Mount Jiuhua.The young man gazed at the towering, majestic mountain before him. Taking a deep breath,
White Ape’s Aid
As a result of Fang Yun’s powerful strike, a loud explosion echoed all the way to the peak of Mount Jiuhua. Even the giant white ape was pushed back several steps before crashing to the ground. Fang Yun’s condition was even worse; the backlash of his own energy hurled him far backward until his back slammed into a massive tree, causing it to collapse.The white ape immediately rose to its feet, grimacing in pain from the ache in its back. Its roar resounded so loudly that Mount Jiuhua trembled slightly.Although not fatal, Fang Yun’s attack had managed to wound it, fueling its rage. Its eyes darted around, searching for the young man who had managed to hurt it for the very first time. Soon, it spotted the fallen tree, and beside it, the youth who had wounded it was lying sprawled, struggling to get back up.“So, there you are. I’ll tear you apart!”The white ape charged forward, its heavy footsteps shaking the ground. Once it reached Fang Yun, it seized the youth and lifted him high i
The Emergence of the Fire Serpent
The body-lightening skill of the two black-clad figures was extraordinary. Carrying Princess Xu Lan on his shoulder, one of them could still run lightly across rooftops until they exited the palace complex. They continued bounding effortlessly over the rooftops of the capital’s houses until finally clearing the city walls.“Wong, I’ll take Princess Xu Lan directly to the hideout. You head straight to the palace and inform Prince Bai Hao.”“Understood. Be careful. Don’t let the princess suffer even the slightest scratch, or we’ll be in grave trouble,” Wong Fei replied.Pan Yon nodded. With the unconscious princess slung across his shoulder, he darted into the darkness.---Although the antidote had already been administered into Fang Yun’s body, another problem arose. The process was excruciatingly slow. Under normal circumstances, the poison should have been neutralized within three to four hours. But because Fang Yun had l
Uproar
Wenara Petak and the old healer retreated a fair distance. If the fire serpent had spoken such words, then surely an explosion of energy was imminent, both of them thought.Moments later, the fire serpent transformed into a sword and slowly entered Fang Yun’s body.A Fire Sword? the old healer wondered.Once the fiery sword was fully absorbed, Fang Yun’s body radiated a blinding aura that lit the entire cavern, shining even to the outside. Then came a massive energy explosion, making Mount Jiuhua tremble as though it were about to erupt.The blast hurled both Wenara Petak and the old healer backward. Fortunately, Wenara Petak reacted swiftly, shielding the healer and catching him before he slammed against the cavern wall.Gradually, the blazing aura from Fang Yun’s body dissipated, and the surroundings returned to normal. Even so, neither Wenara Petak nor the healer dared to move just yet, wary of another possible eruption of en
