Fang Yun leapt backward to avoid Li Xue’s kick while still crouching on the ground. “Mercy, Auntie... please don’t hit me!” Because her kick missed, and the young man had once again escaped, Li Xue launched another kick aimed directly at Fang Yun’s head. Quickly, he threw himself into a bowing position, and her kick sliced through the air just above his back. “Mercyyyyy, Auntie...!” “Damn it! Twice you’ve gotten lucky, boy!” Li Xue growled, swinging her leg again toward Fang Yun’s back. With agility, Fang Yun responded first—delivering a sweeping kick that struck Li Xue’s left leg, sending her tumbling to the ground. Fang Yun immediately stood up and began hopping and laughing as he saw Li Xue’s face now covered in dust. Li Xue stood up, cursing furiously. She could no longer contain her exploding rage. “Lizard scum! Sewer rat! So you

Moments later, Su Ji felt a surge of energy pierce through his back and burst out from his chest."What strange technique is this?" he muttered before coughing blood and collapsing to the ground, his eyes wide open in disbelief. His life had ended.The venomous serpent duo had fallen.Seeing his opponent slain, Fang Yun leapt into the air, clenching his fists."Yeeees! I did it!" he shouted in excitement, thrilled to have successfully modified the Without Form strike into a sword technique.After celebrating his victory, Fang Yun looked down at the two corpses of the dark sect warriors he had just killed. "Had you not chosen the wrong path, you might still be alive today," he said quietly.He stepped away, alertly scanning his surroundings. His body was far too exhausted for another fight. All he wanted now was to return to the inn and rest.He remembered he had promised to buy food for Feng Chen and Zhen Ni, and he

Fang Yun moved stealthily, slipping from tree to tree until he could observe from a safe distance.He saw an unfair fight unfolding before him—four men were ganging up on a middle-aged man wielding two short spears. Nearby, two male bodies lay motionless, either unconscious or already dead."You bastard, Wei Hu! You killed two of my disciples—you will pay for this!" shouted a man dressed in red."Not my fault. They sought death themselves. Who told them to disturb my peace?" replied the middle-aged man, identified as Wei Hu."Followers of the dark sect must be hunted and eradicated from this world!""You're narrow-minded and hypocritical, Hong Li. Yes, I belong to the dark sect, but have I ever committed a crime? On the contrary, you and your so-called righteous disciples always exploit your title to gain wealth and satisfaction," Wei Hu shot back."Hahaha… Your head is worth a fortune, Wei Hu! And I won’t waste this opportunity. Attack him!!!"Fang Yun, who had heard the exchange cle

"What is your name, young man?" asked Emperor Shen Wei."My name is Fang Yun, Your Majesty. If I may ask, why have my sister and I been brought here?"The authoritative Emperor Shen Wei smiled at the innocence on Fang Yun's face."I wanted to ask, was it truly you who distributed silver coins to the people of the capital?"Fang Yun scratched his head again. He was confused as to how the palace even knew what he had done."Yes, Your Majesty. Why do you ask?""What was your motive for doing that?""Motive, Your Majesty? I had no hidden agenda. I simply wanted to share with those who are less fortunate," Fang Yun replied.Emperor Shen Wei then observed Fang Yun from head to toe. He saw no sign that the young man was wealthy or had any great fortune."Then why give away your money if you yourself may need it?"Fang Yun realized the subtle jab in the Emperor's words."Please do not judge someone by their appearance, Your Majesty," Fang Yun responded with a faint smile."I did it because I

The next morning, still clad in his ragged clothes, Fang Yun took Zhen Ni's hand and led her to the training grounds they had visited the day before. There, a dozen young, beautiful girls dressed in black were already waiting. As soon as Fang Yun and Zhen Ni arrived, the girls stood and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Master!" "Master?" Fang Yun was stunned to be addressed that way. He felt awkward, as he was roughly the same age as the girls. "Everyone gather and sit down. I have a few things to explain before we begin training." The girls quickly gathered and sat in front of Fang Yun. "Listen up, everyone. I’m probably around the same age as you—I'm only eighteen. I won't be training you for long, maybe just for the next seven days. So it doesn’t feel right for you to call me 'Master'. Just call me Fang Yun." His calm tone and demeanor captivated the young women before him. "Regarding the Swo
