The Duel of Fire and Steel
“Prime Minister, there are some horses tied up over there!” Sun Jihan whispered.“So, it’s true they are here. Let’s ambush them!” Prime Minister Yu Lai replied. His suspicion toward Sun Jihan and Fang Yun immediately vanished—Sun Jihan had given him proof.From behind the rocks, Prime Minister Wu Ao observed the Bayan troops’ movements. “Be ready, Zhao Wen! They’re coming this way,” he said, gripping the hilt of his sword.Zhao Wen nodded slightly.When only fifty meters remained, Prime Minister Yu Lai gave the signal to charge. Two hundred soldiers rushed forward, blades drawn from their sheaths.“There’s nothing here, Prime Minister!” one soldier shouted.Yu Lai ran at once, anger flashing across his face. “How can there be nothing? Their horses are still tied there!” he barked.Turning his head, he searched for Sun Jihan and Fang Yun—but the two were nowhere in sight.“Looking for someone, traitor?” Wu Ao and Zhao Wen emerged from behind the massive rocks.Yu Lai spun around, his
Clash of Fire and Ice
"Drunken Dragon Claw!" Fang Yun's fingers tried to tear Prime Minister Yu Lai's throat, but the old man was quicker. He unleashed his Air-Freezing Art again, and Fang Yun could not move. "That art again!" Fang Yun once more drew on Qiang Mo to neutralize it. But he was too late — Prime Minister Yu Lai's strike had already landed on his abdomen. Fang Yun was thrown far backward until his back struck a large tree. The crack of splintering wood and the tree toppling sounded loudly. Fresh blood ran from Fang Yun's lips from the impact. He pushed himself up immediately to continue the attack. "You're so foolish, Fang Yun! Why did you release my energy? You'll be in trouble if he uses that art every time!" Qiang Mo snapped. Fang Yun let out a small, strained chuckle. "How was I to know he could use that art again so fast?" The youth drew Qiang Mo's energy into his body and flowed it through himself. Fang Yun shot forward with high speed. Prime Minister Yu Lai, having recovered after
:The Flames That Opened the Gate
Dozens of bursts of flame shot forth and slammed into hundreds of soldiers who were unprepared for the attack.Not stopping there, Fang Yun unleashed the same move again, this time channeling extra inner energy. A huge blaze raced forward and caused a deafening explosion.Blaarr!A dozen or so burning bodies were hurled wildly through the air and slammed into other soldiers. The growing dusk made the scene even more chaotic as men scrambled to save their burning comrades.Fang Yun searched for Prime Minister Yu Lai amid the mêlée of soldiers. His eyes were sharp and he saw the prime minister running, trying to leave his men behind.Because he had to push through so many soldiers who might attack him at any moment, Fang Yun drew on Qiang Mo Energy until his body flared up fiercely. He figured the soldiers would avoid him rather than risk being burned.Fang Yun ran with his body blazing, passing through the ranks while the soldiers instinctively dodged out of his way.“So the prime mini
The Fall of Emperor Ismaya
"Please convey to His Majesty the Emperor, we have brought the head of Prime Minister Wu Ao. At this moment, Prime Minister Yu Lai is pursuing Prince Yu Lai, who managed to escape," Fang Yun said to the guards at the palace gate."Let me be the one to present the head of Prime Minister Wu Ao to His Majesty," the soldier replied.Fang Yun shook his head. "By the Prime Minister’s command, I must deliver this head personally to His Majesty!""Hey, aren’t you the mute soldier from yesterday?" one of the guards suddenly asked, recognizing Fang Yun. "How can you speak now?" The soldier gripped the hilt of his sword."This must be a blessing from the heavens. I never imagined I could speak again after being mute for so long," Fang Yun replied, feigning joy.The three gate guards looked suspiciously at Fang Yun and Zhao Wen. But their suspicion lasted only a moment, for Zhao Wen swiftly knocked the three unconscious with a single strike."You’re too fast. I was still enjoying the act.""Enoug
The Gates of Kayangan
After a full day’s journey, Fang Yun and Zhao Wen arrived at a large duchy. Before entering the duchy they had to pass through an inspection. A soldier who checked them told them the place was called Kayangan.The Duchy of Kayangan was the widest and largest duchy in the Bayan Kingdom’s territory. Its social life was even busier than the capital city. Although it was not the imperial capital, Kayangan supplied the largest tribute to the Bayan Kingdom.As the broadest and busiest duchy, it was only natural that Kayangan was denser than other duchies in the realm. Dozens of martial artists and merchants from distant places, all seeking their fortunes, could be seen moving about after passing through very tight security.Walking amid the crowds, Fang Yun and Zhao Wen shook their heads as they looked at the soldiers posted at every corner of the duchy. Some wore military uniforms, others were in plain clothes and tried to blend with the populace.Fang Yun could recognize those disguised s
The Warriors of Mount Nanggi
“As far as I know, whenever they take a girl, she will surely be violated at the edge of the forest. After that, they kill her,” said the innkeeper while wiping her tears.“We’ll be back later, Auntie,” Fang Yun replied before stepping out of the inn.Fang Yun felt confused about the incident, which contradicted the information he had received earlier before entering the eating house. If the soldiers had truly been stationed at every corner of the duchy to provide safety, why was such an act allowed to happen so openly?“Where are you going, Fang Yun?” Zhao Wen asked, jogging to catch up with Fang Yun’s quick strides.“Do you want to just stand by and watch such cruelty unfold before your eyes?”“I was about to teach those two a lesson, but you stopped me,” Zhao Wen retorted, pouting at Fang Yun’s accusation.“You need to be smart about reading the situation. Do you want us to get stuck here even longer, tangled with the duchy’s soldiers?”For Fang Yun, it was not truly a big problem
The Seven Warriors of Mount Nanggi
"That’s right, Young Master. And those seven warriors will not hesitate to kill if their warning is ignored by those who attempt to climb to the peak of Mount Nanggi," replied Shen Yu’s father, giving a brief explanation."I see..." Fang Yun stroked his chin thoughtfully."Do you still insist on climbing Mount Nanggi, Young Master?" Shen Yu interrupted.Fang Yun nodded firmly. "This is one of the tasks I must complete. And I will not retreat, not even a single step.""But what about the Warriors of Mount Nanggi?""Their duty is to guard Mount Nanggi. I will try to speak with them peacefully, and I believe they will accept me," Fang Yun answered.Shen Yu nodded slowly, though the lines of worry were still visible on her face."Uncle, we will depart tomorrow morning. For tonight, may we ask permission to stay here?""It is an honor for me if the two Young Masters are willing to stay in my humble hut," the man replied. He then whispered to Shen Yu who stood beside him.Shen Yu nodded sof
Battle
Fang Yun sharpened his senses. He even used the Eye of the Fire God to search for whoever was watching the two of them.The adopted grandchild of Fei Hung opened his eyes and saw Zhao Wen sitting cross-legged beside him. “Zhao Wen, be careful,” Fang Yun said softly.Zhao Wen nodded. “I know, but his energy is very faint — I can hardly sense it.”“Watch out!” Fang Yun suddenly warned. He felt an energy vectoring toward them, then vanishing in an instant.Fang Yun’s hand shot out to hold Zhao Wen back so he wouldn’t react first.“Hone your senses — our opponents aren’t just one this time. There are many,” Fang Yun continued.“Could they be the Nanggi Mountain Knights?” Zhao Wen asked.“Possibly. We should be cautious,” Fang Yun replied.Their worry proved justified. A streak of energy shaped like a dagger shot toward them both. Fang Yun, sensing it, instantly formed a shield of flame to deflect the attack.What happened next surprised Fang Yun; he grabbed Zhao Wen and leaped away just i
The Wrath of the Black Flames
“What kind of power is this? How could metal instantly melt, yet his body remains unharmed, wrapped in those black flames?” said the leader of the Nanggi Mountain Knights in shock.“What should we do now? Even our weapons can’t pierce through those black flames,” replied another member.The leader of the Nanggi Mountain Knights fell silent for a moment, deep in thought. Then he shouted, “Everyone! Use the combined power of our energies. That young man must be stopped before the sanctity of this mountain is defiled!”The seven of them quickly gathered, forming a pyramid-shaped formation. The palms of those at the back touched the shoulders of those in front.“I will climb this mountain with or without you!” Fang Yun declared after seeing that his seven opponents had no intention of surrendering.“You must hurry, Fang Yun! Your body won’t last long under my energy,” Qiang Mo suddenly reminded him.“Really? But I also used your energy in our previous battle, didn’t I?”“That’s true, but
The Hidden Power of Mount Nanggi
He immediately stood up and approached Fang Yun, who had just opened his eyes."Are you all right, young man?"Fang Yun turned his head when he heard the voice of the old man. "I’m fine. Who are you, Grandpa?""What is your purpose in coming to the peak of Mount Nanggi?""I want to meet the hermit Gandhi. Do you know him, Grandpa?"The old man smiled warmly. "Why do you want to meet him?""I am looking for someone, Grandpa. According to Prime Minister Seno Aji, the only one who knows the whereabouts of that person is the hermit Gandhi," Fang Yun replied."Very well, come with me. I will take you to him!" the old man said.Fang Yun nodded, his face glowing after hearing such delightful news. He then called Zhao Wen, who was still hiding behind the large tree."You two wait here for a while, I’ll go see them first," said the old man before walking toward the seven warriors of Mount Nanggi.<
