The Tiger Demon I
Zhao Wen gazed at his grandfather from head to toe. He couldn’t see any sign of the grave illness that Fang Yun had mentioned earlier.“Fang Yun said you were sick, Grandpa, but you look perfectly fine to me. Don’t tell me Fang Yun lied to me?”“Fang Yun didn’t lie to you, Wen,” replied Zhao Jian calmly. “I asked Manarah to tell him that I was ill.”“So it’s you who lied to me, then?”“You wouldn’t easily understand my reason, Wen. But someone asked me to call you home.”“For what reason?”“Fang Yun is with that girl from the mainland, isn’t he?” asked Zhao Jian.Zhao Wen frowned in surprise. “How do you know about that?”“The man who came to me told me so. Let them, Fang Yun and that girl, follow their destined path together,” said Zhao Jian with a sigh.Zhao Wen scratched his head, only to turn toward the door when he heard it open.“Zhen Ni?”“Brother Wen…” she greeted with a gentle smile.Zhao Wen froze. He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Zhen Ni had grown into a young wo
The Tiger Demon II
Unexpectedly for Fang Yun, a tiger the size of an ox emerged from the rock he had been sitting on. He had not realized that the boulder was in fact a cave, and its entrance lay directly at the lake’s edge beneath him."No wonder I couldn't find the cave I was looking for — its door was right under my feet," he murmured.The young man leapt back the moment the ox-sized tiger fixed him with a furious stare. Its eyes glowed red, full of hatred."Hey, human, why do you disturb my sleep? Have you grown tired of living?" the beast growled."This tiger is enormous!" Fang Yun gasped, half stunned by the creature before him.He fought to hide his surprise from the tiger."Return the girl you kidnapped! I don't seek trouble with you — so why are you starting it?" he demanded."Kidnap? I've been sleeping for months, and you wake me. Now you accuse me of taking your companion?" the tiger's voice rose."Do you expect me to believe you? That sounds like an excuse!" Fang Yun shot back.The tiger sna
The Tiger Man
After closing his eyes for a moment, the handsome man’s irises shifted into something feline — like a tiger’s — and he suddenly lunged.Fang Yun, who had braced himself for the attack, was startled to find his body felt heavy and sluggish the instant the opponent closed the distance.Reluctantly he formed a Holy Water Shield just as the attacker’s strike came within arm’s reach. Using the impact, Fang Yun sprang backward.The handsome man herself was equally surprised; he felt some of his energy siphoned away when his blow struck Fang Yun’s Holy Water Shield.“What kind of shield is that?” he muttered, furrowing his brow in disbelief. Decades of seclusion on Mount Dempo had left him out of touch with the martial world’s constant innovations — he did not recognize this new technique.Catching the surprise on the man’s face gave Fang Yun a small boost of confidence. He drew a long breath and moved to seize the initiative.To withstand the opponent’s crushing pressure, Fang Yun summoned
Defamation
Fang Yun sat among the crumbling ruins of the cave, his sharp gaze wandering across the broken stones and scattered debris, searching for any clue that might prove the man beside him was truly the culprit.“Are you saying you really didn’t kidnap her?” Fang Yun asked softly.The man approached slowly and sat next to him. “I’ve learned from the mistakes I once made,” he said quietly. “I’m not the same person anymore.”Fang Yun turned to look at him. The calm yet mysterious aura surrounding the man made him suspect that this was no ordinary hermit. There was something familiar in the way his presence felt—like the lingering scent of a once-powerful warrior who had walked the dark path.“For decades, I’ve lived in seclusion here to atone for my past. I wanted to be reborn through silence. But now that this cave has collapsed,” he paused, glancing at the ruin around them, “perhaps it’s time I descend the mountain and fight against every trace of evil that still remains in this world.”“So
Attack on the Devil’s Nest Sect
"Alright, but we can’t just rush in recklessly. The safety of the captives must come first. Can you fight in complete darkness?" Fang Yun asked."My Tiger Eyes can see clearly even in the night, Fang Yun. Don’t worry!" Wu Ming replied with confidence."Then we’ll move after nightfall," Fang Yun said, outlining the plan he had devised during their journey. Even though he didn’t know the exact layout of the place, he could already estimate it based on his experience leading countless surprise attacks.Wu Ming was impressed by the young man he had just met. In such a short time, Fang Yun had crafted a detailed plan as though he had been preparing for days. He suspected that despite his youth, Fang Yun had long roamed the martial world. His strength alone was proof—strong enough to stand on par with him.When night finally came, Fang Yun tied his horse to the bushes and turned toward Wu Ming. "Let’s go."Wu Ming nodded. Together, they slipped into the darkness of the Rimbo Forest. Guided
A Grave Miscalculation
Meanwhile, outside the Devil’s Nest Sect, Wu Ming’s tiger form continued his rampage. His massive claws tore through the ranks of the sect disciples, each swing leaving behind mangled bodies and terrified screams.The ground was littered with corpses—those who had dared to stand against the beast now lay lifeless, their flesh ripped apart as though by the hands of a demon.Fear gripped the hearts of the remaining disciples. None of their attacks had the slightest effect. Arrows shattered, blades glanced harmlessly off his hide, and even the boldest among them faltered when the tiger bared its blood-stained fangs after crushing a man between its jaws.Wu Ming—the tiger—did not relent. His fury burned like fire. Each kill felt like an act of redemption, a desperate attempt to erase the weight of sins he had carried from the past. He roared and leapt, striking down every follower of the Devil’s Nest Sect that dared come near him.Panic spread like wildfire. Those still alive fled in terr
Lightning Blade
Outside the Devil’s Nest Sect, Wu Ming—still in his tiger form—backed away slowly, drawing the disciples out. His bait worked.Believing the beast to be frightened, the sect members surged forward with redoubled fervor and pressed their attack on the enormous tiger.Fang Yun, watching from a distance, took a long breath then shot forward with blinding speed. With a single bound he cleared the sect’s perimeter wall. He landed lightly and moved with calm, deliberate steps to avoid arousing the suspicions of the hundreds of sect followers who were focused entirely on the rampaging tiger.The two aged leaders immediately closed in on Fang Yun, swinging their staves in relentless arcs and thrusts, aiming for any opening they could find on the youth’s body.Quick as lightning, Fang Yun drew the Silk Wind spear and spun it into two parts.Frustration instantly creased the elders’ faces. Every blow they launched was effortlessly deflected by the young man who could easily have been their gran
End of the Dark Matriarch
“The sword… How could he possibly wield that power?” Lu Wen gasped, her voice trembling with disbelief.“I don’t know,” her husband muttered under his breath. “But we must find a way to escape this place before it’s too late.”“Escape?” she hissed. “He’ll never let us run. We might as well strike first!”Her husband nodded grimly, lowering his stance. In one sharp breath, he lunged toward Wu Ming, his full internal strength surging through his veins.Meanwhile, Lu Wen darted toward the main gate of the Devil’s Nest Sect, moving so fast she nearly made it out—before Fang Yun appeared right before her, blocking the path like a phantom.“Going somewhere, Lu Wen?” His cold smile cut deeper than a blade. “Did you really think I’d fall for your cheap tricks?”“You—weren’t you supposed to be with your friend?” The old woman’s wrinkled face twisted in shock and terror.“Who told you I went to the chamber where your victims are imprisoned?” Fang Yun sneered. “I know the kind of filth you are—c
The Fall of the Devil’s Nest Sect
Without her staff, Lu Wen could do nothing more. Her life ended the moment the Demonic Sword pierced through her throat and emerged from the back of her neck.After confirming that Lu Wen was dead, Fang Yun turned toward his spear. With a single pull of his inner energy, the weapon flew back into his hand. The swirling wind vanished instantly, along with the Silk Wind Spear, which slipped back into the Annihilation Space.From a distance, Fang Yun could see that Wu Ming’s battle was nearing its end. The old man—Lu Wen’s husband—was being completely overwhelmed. A few exchanges later, the inevitable happened: his head rolled across the ground after a fatal mistake left him open to Wu Ming’s lightning-fast combination attack.Fang Yun wasted no time. He dashed toward the locked room where Mei Hwa and the other three girls were imprisoned.“Come out! You’re safe now!” Fang Yun said as he untied their bindings.The three girls rushed out, tears of relief streaming down their faces.“Are y
The Secret of Mei Hwa
After leaving the Rimbo Forest, they continued their journey toward the village where the three rescued girls came from—a village that happened to be on the same route as Fang Yun’s destination: the Xi Dynasty.The distance between the Rimbo Forest and the girls’ village wasn’t far, so Fang Yun, Mei Hwa, and Wu Ming decided to spend the night at the home of one of the girls they had saved.Unsurprisingly, the news of the girls’ return caused a stir in the small village.By morning, the villagers gathered in excitement, eager to meet the heroes who had saved their daughters.But they were met with disappointment—Fang Yun had already left.He, Mei Hwa, and Wu Ming departed before dawn, avoiding the crowd that would surely delay their journey.By midday, they arrived at the next town and stopped at a small roadside tavern. The place was quiet—perfect for resting and talking freely.As they ate, the three began sharing stories about their pasts.“Fang Yun,” Mei Hwa began softly, “do you s
