The Death of Gao Lei
Gao Lei rose to his feet, suppressing the shame that burned within him. At that moment, all that filled his mind was hatred and boiling rage.“You’ll regret giving me another chance, Young Man!” he hissed.Fang Yun chuckled at the old man’s threat. “Good, at least you still have some courage, Old Man,” he sneered. He sheathed his sword, feeling he no longer needed it.Humiliated at being given another chance to fight, Gao Lei gathered the last of his inner energy to draw in the surrounding Leak energy.Unlike Pan Yon or Wong Fei, Gao Lei’s superior ability allowed him to absorb vast amounts of Leak energy and fuse it into his body. Hot winds roared from all directions, centering on him.Fang Yun smiled faintly, showing not the slightest sign of worry, much less fear. He calmly circulated his inner energy, preparing to meet Gao Lei’s attack.Gao Lei’s body blazed with ferocious fire, having drawn in as much Leak energy as his strength allowed. “Prepare yourself…!”With his body wreathe
The Commitment of Fang Yun
"Do you not like my daughter?" asked Emperor Ren Zi. He was still trying to persuade Fang Yun to stay in his empire. "Later, you could become the Emperor of the Sung Dynasty together with my daughter," he continued. Princess Xu Lan lowered her face, struggling to hide the overwhelming shyness she felt. Deep down, she truly hoped Fang Yun would agree to be her husband. Fang Yun closed his eyes for a long moment. He drew in a deep breath and exhaled slowly. As much as possible, he did not want to refuse directly, fearing it would hurt Emperor Ren Zi and Princess Xu Lan. "My apologies, Your Majesty. It is not that I dislike Princess Xu Lan. But... I must first complete my mission," Fang Yun replied. Emperor Ren Zi smiled. He already had an answer ready for Fang Yun's words. "My daughter, are you willing to wait for Fang Yun until he completes his mission?" "But Your Majesty, I do not know when I will finish this task. It could take one year, two years, or even more than a decade,
The Battle in the Luashan Forest
Two days passed, and before they realized it, the two young warriors had reached the Luashan Forest, as Emperor Ren Zi had described. Fang Yun lifted his head, noticing how dim it was inside the forest. Not a single ray of sunlight could pierce through the thick canopy above. He thought, perhaps that was why this place was called the Luashan Forest—because the trees formed a natural umbrella."Fang Yun, I sense something strange about this forest," Zhao Wen said. "Although it’s not as mysterious as the death forest, I can’t shake off this uneasy feeling.""Don’t think too much about it. If someone intends to block our path, then we’ll fight them. At worst, it’s just some bandits trying to cause trouble," Fang Yun replied. He deliberately chose not to tell Zhao Wen the truth earlier, so that Zhao Jian’s grandson would not feel anxious.The deeper they went into the Luashan Forest, the darker and quieter it became. The humidity was unusually high. Moss thrived on the trunks of giant tre
Myth
"Don’t let anyone get close to him!" shouted the one-eyed man.Terror was visible in all their eyes. This was the first time they had encountered a warrior who mastered the hottest element of fire—black fire. Perhaps it was because they rarely left their land, or perhaps because no one truly possessed the black fire element."What do we do?" asked a pale-faced man to the one-eyed man.The one-eyed man shook his head. "I don’t know. If we fight him, not only will our weapons melt—our bodies might share the same fate.""How could our bodies melt? Aren’t our bodies made of flesh, not iron?!"The one-eyed man slapped his forehead. "You’ve never changed. What I meant was that our bodies could turn into ashes!""I already asked you politely, but you forced me," Fang Yun’s sharp gaze pierced through the twelve men. The black flames around his body flared higher. The trees nearby instantly dried up, scorched by the intense heat radiating
The Battle at the Harbor
After Fang Yun and Zhao Wen left the tavern, two men followed them out, whispering among themselves.While Fang Yun was chatting with Zhao Wen before bed, he suddenly sensed someone eavesdropping on the roof of their room.Ssssttt!Fang Yun pressed his index finger to his lips, signaling Zhao Wen to stay silent while tilting his head upward.Zhao Wen nodded slightly. Fang Yun then whispered something into his ear before slipping out of the room quietly.Using his lightness skill, Fang Yun leapt once and landed softly on the roof of the inn he had rented. There, he found two men crouched, eavesdropping directly above his room.“What information are you trying to find!?”Startled, the two men turned to see the young man they were spying on now standing behind them.“How is he here? Then who was speaking inside the room?” one of them asked his companion.Hearing their words, Fang Yun smirked and
A Tragic Story
The entire day at sea was spent by Fang Yun just lying down. Only when Zhao Wen knocked on his cabin door and told him they were about to dock did he finally rise and step out of the room.Fang Yun saw the land of Xuo spread clearly before his eyes. If his guess was not mistaken, it would not be long before they reached the shore, where a vast stretch of white sand awaited.As expected, the ship carrying them both docked at the harbor. Fang Yun and Zhao Wen then led their horses down the deck until their feet touched the soft white sand.Fang Yun lifted his head, inhaling the air of Xuo for the first time. Three times he drew deep breaths, exhaling slowly.“Zhao Wen, let’s follow this beach. Later we’ll find a place to stay in the nearest village.”Zhao Wen nodded, leaping onto his horse and riding slowly, with Fang Yun following behind.As night approached, they quickened their pace when they spotted a fishing village. Upon arrival, they saw a man, not too old, sitting alone in front
Sports Greeting
Sports GreetingLiu An pretended not to hear Zhao Wen’s shout. He kept walking slowly, glancing around.Angered that his master’s command had been ignored, two of Zhao Wen’s henchmen rushed after Liu An, who was circling back toward where Fang Yun was waiting.As Liu An passed Fang Yun, he stopped about five meters ahead. Just as Zhao Wen’s men were about to reach him, one of them suddenly fell face-first into the sand after stumbling past Fang Yun.Curses and shouts erupted from the man, whose face was now full of sand, drawing laughter from onlookers.“Who dares trip me?!” he roared, unsheathing his sword.The lively market instantly fell silent. No one answered.The man grew even more furious when he noticed Fang Yun smiling and whistling to himself. He recalled exactly where he had stumbled—right beside Fang Yun.“So, it was you!” he barked, pointing his sword at Fang Yun.“What reason do you have to accuse me?” Fang Yun asked innocently.“I saw you stretch out your foot when he p
The Prince in Peril
Fang Yun’s massacre at the fish auction spread like wildfire. The name Liu An was also brought into the spotlight after he seized all of Zhao Wen’s wealth and replaced him as the leading fish broker.In truth, Liu An insisted that Fang Yun and Zhao Wen stay longer in Zhao Wen’s house, which he had already taken over. But Fang Yun politely refused. To repay Fang Yun and Zhao Wen’s kindness, Liu An gave them a pouch of gold coins for their journey.Fang Yun and Zhao Wen continued their travels. Even though he had no clear leads about the hunchbacked man named Mahanta whom he had to meet, Fang Yun did not lose hope. He relied only on his heart to guide his steps along the long road before him.After two days of traveling, they reached a large coastal village named Pamenang, having crossed a mountain. Fang Yun and Zhao Wen entered the seaside village to seek information about Mahanta.The day after spending a night in Pamenang, they continued their journey, passing through the hilly regio
The Hidden Camp in the Valley
Prime Minister Wu Ao led the two of them toward a valley flanked by hills, located quite far from that place.After several hours of riding their horses through the forest and climbing the hills, they finally arrived at the valley Prime Minister Wu Ao had mentioned.Fang Yun and Zhao Wen saw countless tents standing in the valley."Prime Minister, who are these two young men?" asked one of the valley’s inhabitants."Prime Minister?" Fang Yun and Zhao Wen wondered in their hearts.Prime Minister Wu Ao led the two young men toward a valley flanked by hills, located quite a distance from where they had first met.After several hours of riding their horses through the forest and climbing hills, they finally arrived at the valley that Wu Ao had spoken of.Fang Yun and Zhao Wen were surprised to see so many tents standing across the valley.“Prime Minister, who are these two young men?” asked one of the men living in the valley.“Prime Minister?” Fang Yun and Zhao Wen exchanged thoughts sil
The Trap
The next day, dressed as soldiers, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun set out for the palace of the Bayan kingdom to carry out their plan. Fang Yun had more than one reason to join this mission. Besides wanting to observe the situation inside Bayan’s palace, he also wished to make sure that Sun Jihan would not betray them.After a full day’s journey, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun finally arrived at Bayan’s capital city. Fang Yun could see that what Prime Minister Wu Ao had said about Emperor Cheng Ho’s wisdom was indeed true.The capital of the Bayan kingdom was well-organized. The people’s economy seemed prosperous, with many merchants selling their goods in the bustling streets.Upon reaching the palace gates, Sun Jihan and Fang Yun showed the imperial seal required of every soldier. They were then allowed to proceed into the royal hall to put their plan into motion.A soldier entered the hall shortly after Sun Jihan whispered something to him. Soon, the soldier returned and escorted them both inside.
