However, Rakuti swiftly anticipated the strike, blocking Fei Hung’s blow that was aimed at his knee.He grunted in irritation — ever since becoming one of Wentira City’s war generals, not once had anyone dared insult him, not even Panca. His power rivaled Panca’s, which was precisely why he held the third rank among the seven war generals of the city.Rakuti was not a native of Wentira. He was the sole disciple of the Northern Poison, brought to the city by that old master to serve under Emperor Kong Xiang.In a relatively short time, Fei Hung and Rakuti had already exchanged hundreds of blows. Their astonishing speed made the entire battle seem fleeting — every move a blur of power and precision. The constant exchange of diverse techniques turned their duel into a deadly spectacle of skill and ferocity.Meanwhile, another fierce battle raged elsewhere — Zhao Wen against Qiao Zu.Qiao Zu drew his crimson-handled sword. His hands ached from repeatedly striking against Zhao Wen’s Demoni

Bhirawa, who had originally intended to provoke Manarah’s anger, ended up losing his own temper instead.He spun his sword and gripped it tightly with both hands. Then he shifted his stance to launch a new technique.Manarah’s sharp eyes followed Bhirawa’s every move before lunging to strike when he saw his opponent darting forward.A fierce close-range battle erupted once again, swift and violent. Though Manarah’s towering, giant-like frame might have suggested sluggishness, his movements were anything but slow.Each swing of his claw sliced the air, producing a deafening gust of wind. Bhirawa knew full well that those huge, razor-sharp claws could easily split his body in half if he wasn’t careful. Thus, he used every ounce of his speed to evade each deadly swipe aimed at him.“Damn it, his internal energy is rising fast!” Bhirawa cursed inwardly.Each time his sword clashed against those monstrous claws, he was pushed backward—only a few steps, but enough to show that in sheer stre

Boom!Argh!Even though Panca had managed to block the strike, his left hand, shaped like a claw, lashed out again—tearing into Fang Yun’s right ribs, leaving a shallow but stinging wound.“How is that possible?” Panca muttered in disbelief, seeing Fang Yun only slightly injured by his Lion Claw Strike—one of his deadliest techniques.Fang Yun winced as a sharp pain spread through his side. Blood began to seep through his torn clothes. He quickly pressed his palm over the wound, channeling the power of the Fire God within him.Instantly, the bleeding stopped, and the wound seared shut from the blazing heat of the divine fire energy.He was lucky to have used his Chakra Shield to protect himself. Without it, his ribs would’ve been shattered—or worse, pierced clean through.Fang Yun steadied his breathing, gathering his inner force and combining two of his light-body techniques to match Panca’s speed. He knew well that his natural swiftness was still slightly below the lion general’s.“

I apologize for the mistake in the previous chapter regarding the use of names. Wanandra should have been Zun Xia. I’ve tried to submit a revision, but the Mega Novel editor has been very slow to respond.***"Are you sure you both want to gang up on me?" said Zun Xia, driving his staff into the ground."Still talking even when you’re about to die, old Genie!"Without any warning, Bisma lunged forward, unleashing his full strength against Zun Xia.The first explosion burst out instantly — their powers were evenly matched. That was only because Zun Xia’s inner energy had been nearly drained after his previous battle with Raksa.A close-range clash was inevitable. Zun Xia could feel that Bisma’s power was greater than Raksa’s; that much was clear from how Bisma could keep up with him in speed and force.Still full of vigor, Bisma kept pressing forward, attacking Zun Xia’s solid defense from every direction. He used all kinds of variations in his strikes, seeking an opening in Zun Xia’s

Rakuti was not unaware of it, but he was confident that his sword would remain unbroken as long as it didn’t shatter completely.“I can’t delay this any longer. Demonic Energy Explosion!” Fei Hung roared.A massive surge of energy erupted from his body. The blast was so strong that Rakuti had to drive his sword into the ground just to keep himself from being blown backward.Hundreds of low-ranked soldiers instantly fainted—or even died—under the demonic shockwave released by Fei Hung. Their bodies were hurled far away, crashing lifelessly to the ground under the crushing pressure.Zun Xia, who also felt the shockwave, muttered inwardly, No wonder he was chosen as the war commander of Lady Qian Hui.“Impossible! How could he still be hiding energy this strong?” Rakuti muttered in disbelief. Suddenly, he sensed a massive force locked onto him.A spear of energy shot toward him at blinding speed. Though he blocked with his greatsword, the energy spear still pierced through his chest—and
