Fang Yun’s Ancestral History
Hermit Gandhi smiled at Fang Yun, whose aura he found calming and dignified.“Long ago, there was a warrior from the land of Hu named Fang We. He was exiled from his homeland for a crime he never committed. He was slandered by a jealous commander who envied his success as the general of a great kingdom. All the evidence was manipulated to point at him. Although the emperor did not truly believe his general had committed such crimes, the law must be upheld. He should have faced execution, but because of his many services to the kingdom, he was only banished from the land of Hu,” Hermit Gandhi said, inhaling deeply and then exhaling slowly.“In short, he chose the land of Xuo as his final harbor. He left his wife and child back in Hu. In Xuo, Fang We became the foremost and undefeatable warrior. He wandered alone, eradicating every form of evil here until his name became legendary,” he continued.Fang Yun remembered the old man’s words when they had been in the Payung forest: “I once he
Wave-Breaking Strike
"That’s the condition if you are truly the grandson of the book’s owner!" barked the man clad in the royal war armor.Fang Yun thought for a moment, then nodded. "Very well, if the condition is to fight and defeat you!""Hahaha… strike first, then!"Fang Yun steadied his stance and instantly lunged forward with an attack. But to his shock, his strike only hit a shadow.Over and over, Fang Yun launched his attacks, but the result was the same. His kicks and punches passed right through the guardian of his grandfather’s book."So, you’re not truly the grandson of the book’s owner!"After saying that, the figure delivered a direct blow to Fang Yun’s chest, sending him flying and crashing into the cave wall."Impossible! How can he hit me, but I can’t hit him?" Fang Yun wondered in his heart.He stood up again, rushing forward with a flurry of attacks. Yet the outcome remained unchanged—his strikes still went through the shadow-like body. Again, he was struck hard and smashed against the
The Mimic Technique
“Getting hit too many times has clearly made you lose your mind, young man,” the figure shook his head slowly.“You’re right. I’ve gone mad studying martial arts. And this time, I’ve mastered your technique!”“Hahaha… so it’s true, you’re insane. How could you possibly learn my technique without training? Or is that just an empty bluff of yours?”“Prepare yourself!” Fang Yun gave a faint smile as he set his stance, perfectly mirroring that of his opponent.“Just because you copied my stance, you dare act as though you’ve already mastered my technique, young man?” The figure shifted into the same stance as Fang Yun once again.In the blink of an eye, both shot forward and clashed midair. Though not yet as perfect as the original, Fang Yun’s rapid movements shocked the figure, who nonetheless smiled with a hint of satisfaction.“This boy… how could he grasp my technique after only seeing it once? He wasn’t bluffing. What a terrifying natural talent,” he muttered inwardly while moving to
The War General
The war general leaped lightly into the air and landed beside Fang Yun. Strangely, however, Fang Yun felt as though the man did not see him, even while standing right next to him.Fang Yun studied the war general closely. He noticed a resemblance to his late father.The young man closed his eyes for a moment, recalling his father. But when he opened them again, he was back inside the cave where he had started.“Bring me that stone chest!” commanded the man who guarded the manuscript.Fang Yun lifted the chest and brought it closer to him.“Open it and take the manuscript inside!”Fang Yun carefully opened the stone chest and found a thick manuscript within. He pulled it out and began flipping through its pages one by one.His brows furrowed, and his gaze fixed upon the drawing of two twin spears—the very same ones he had seen earlier.“I saw this just now,” Fang Yun whispered.The man smiled warmly. “What you saw was your great-grandfather. And the spear he carried is one of the most
Competing for the Treasure
“Is there some kind of event in this village, Uncle? I see many of them look like warriors.”“There’s nothing happening in this village, young man. Perhaps up there on the summit,” the man replied while preparing the food orders.“There might be an event at Lake Anak above,” he added.“What is Lake Anak, Uncle?” Fang Yun frowned.“Lake Anak is a wide lake formed by the eruption of Mount Huazhuo. Usually, there are gatherings held there.”“Alright, Uncle. Thank you for the information. I’ll wait for the food at that table.” Fang Yun didn’t want to ask further, fearing he might disturb the owner of the eatery. He then walked toward his seat.“What’s wrong, Fang Yun? You look like you’re deep in thought,” Zhao Wen asked, noticing the crease in Fang Yun’s brow.“Have you noticed something strange here?” Fang Yun whispered quietly.Zhao Wen nodded. “If they’re villagers, why are they carrying weapons like warriors?”“Exactly. They’re outsiders. I asked the owner earlier—he said that only w
Competing for the Treasure II
The two young warriors immediately leapt onto a dense tree. Neither of them wished to be noticed by the Black Eagle group. Although outnumbered, the Black Eagle group appeared superior—especially when Jian Kun joined the battle. In no time, the ten men in white robes lay dead at his hands and those of his followers. “Hahaha… these cockroaches came here only to deliver their lives!” Jian Kun shouted arrogantly. He turned his head toward the place where Fang Yun and Zhao Wen had been before they leapt onto the tree. Jian Kun thought he had seen two figures during the fight. After finding no one, he ordered his men to continue their journey. Once they felt safe, Fang Yun and Zhao Wen jumped down from the tree and approached the ten lifeless white-robed bodies. “Because of their ambition, they ended up dying here,” Fang Yun said quietly. “What kind of heirloom were they fighting over, Fang Yun? Is it the same one you’re seeking?” Zhao Wen asked. “I don’t know. I only hope it isn’t
Competing for the Treasure III
The two young warriors instantly leapt onto a thick tree. Neither of them wished to be spotted by the Black Eagle group. Although outnumbered, the Black Eagle group clearly held the advantage—especially when Jian Kun himself joined the battle. Within a short time, ten men in white robes were slaughtered by Jian Kun and his subordinates. “Hahaha… these cockroaches only came here to throw away their lives!” Jian Kun shouted arrogantly. He turned his head toward the spot where Fang Yun and Zhao Wen had been before they leapt into the trees. During the fight, he thought he had glimpsed two figures, but finding no one, Jian Kun ordered his men to continue on their way. Once it felt safe, Fang Yun and Zhao Wen dropped down from the tree and approached the ten corpses clad in white. “Because of their ambition, they met their deaths here,” Fang Yun said softly. “What exactly were they fighting over, Fang Yun? Could it be the heirloom you are searching for?” Zhao Wen asked. “I don’t kno
Competing for the Treasure IV
"Fang Yun, aren’t those the three men we saw at the dining hall back then?" Zhao Wen’s finger pointed toward three men dressed in red, spying from behind the bushes.Fang Yun gave a thin smile when he saw the three people Zhao Wen meant."They never cease to amuse me. But truly, the martial world is full of such colors. When they realize they’re weaker in strength, they resort to cunning tricks. To me, that is something all too common," Fang Yun said softly.Meanwhile, the battle between Jian Kun’s men and Sun Zi’s followers had become more balanced. Five of Sun Zi’s men in black had already fallen lifeless. Yet the deaths of their comrades did not instill fear in the remaining ten. They continued to fight with every ounce of strength they possessed.A loud explosion echoed again. Both Jian Kun and Sun Zi were forced backward, though Sun Zi staggered a little farther."Your progress is decent, Sun Zi. You may be swifter, but my strength is still clearly above yours. Surrender now, and
The Arrival of Reinforcements
After realizing he had wasted too much time, Fang Yun infused his inner energy and unleashed a strike so swift that his movements became nearly impossible for his two opponents to predict. Jian Kun, whose speed was inferior to Sun Zi’s, struggled the most. Within moments of Fang Yun’s sudden burst of speed, the old man staggered backward when a slash grazed his stomach, though not fatally. Fang Yun wasted no time. He darted forward and drove his sword cleanly into the old man’s chest, the blade piercing through to his back. Jian Kun collapsed lifelessly to the ground as Fang Yun pulled his sword free. The young man’s gaze shifted to Sun Zi, who stood frozen in disbelief. They had managed to keep up with him earlier, but the tide had turned in an instant. Cold sweat seeped from Sun Zi’s pores as fear crept into his heart. "Now it’s your turn to follow him to the Emperor of Hell!" Fang Yun sneered before launc
The Death of Wei Ho
Wei Ho’s iron staff had already landed on Fang Yun’s body several times. Even though he had activated the Chakra Shield, the pain still lingered.“I must take down at least two of them as quickly as possible,” Fang Yun thought. The young man drew upon Qiang Mo’s energy to increase his speed. His plan was to kill two of them first so their strength would weaken.Fang Yun’s speed rose sharply. He targeted the two weakest among them—men he had already observed beforehand. With a few deceptive movements, he managed to slay both of them.Fang Yun sneered at Wei Ho and the other two warriors.“I truly didn’t want to kill you. But you came here to hand me your lives!”Again, he gathered a considerable amount of Qiang Mo’s energy before aiming at Wei Ho, who he judged to be their leader.Wei Ho’s expression was grim. He had exchanged nearly a hundred strikes with Fang Yun, his treasured iron staff clashing against Fang Yun’s sword.S
