Caught
After waiting until midnight, they finally decided to move closer to the shoreline. The darkness of the night gave them freedom to move without fear of being detected by the imperial guards of the Yuan Empire, who often patrolled the coast to ensure security.Once they were about fifty meters from the beach, they lowered a small boat to row toward the mainland.Before getting off, Mei Hwa gave instructions to one of the soldiers to return three weeks later and retrieve the treasures they planned to use to fund the upcoming war. Those treasures, she explained, would be taken from the houses of Yuan imperial officials suspected of being disloyal to Prince Xiao Yu.Wang Dong, whom Mei Hwa had asked to join this mission, was assigned an important role — acting as the liaison between the three of them and the two people they were going to meet. He would also be the one to deliver any intelligence they obtained directly to Prince Xiao Yu’s camp.When the small boat touched the sandy shore,
Shadows in the Dark
Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa refused to miss the midnight massacre. With blades glowing in hues of blue and green, the flashes of their swords shimmered beautifully in the darkness — beautiful, yet deadly.The screams of dying soldiers soon faded into silence. None of the dozens of imperial guards survived; all of them lay lifeless within mere minutes.Wang Dong stood frozen, mesmerized by the skill of the two young warriors accompanying Princess Mei Hwa. His years as a commander told him that these three — Mei Hwa, Zhao Wen, and Fang Yun — possessed enough strength to reclaim the Yuan Empire. Even though they were vastly outnumbered, he could sense that each of them alone was worth thousands of soldiers.“Pile their bodies together and gather their weapons. We’ll need them later,” ordered Fang Yun.The three men worked swiftly, stacking the fallen soldiers into a single mound.“Stand back!” Fang Yun leapt onto the pile of corpses and pressed his palms together.A wave of intense heat began r
Battle in the Darkness
“Stay here and don’t move. I’ll deal with them myself,” said Fang Yun firmly.Mei Hwa nodded without a word of protest.Since he had already been discovered, Fang Yun stepped out from his hiding place.“I saw you sneaking into this house with your men, so I followed you. If your intentions are evil, I’ll stop you right here.”“Excuses!” barked the man dressed entirely in black, his head also wrapped with a dark hood.How did he know I was following him? Fang Yun thought. It didn’t make sense — he had already suppressed his energy to absolute zero. Then he glanced at Mei Hwa and his expression turned sour.Of course… she forgot to suppress hers.“If you stay silent, that means you really were following us. And for that—I’ll kill you!”The man in black launched forward with blinding speed, attacking Fang Yun in the darkness.Fang Yun dodged every blow effortlessly, even though he had to sharpen his eyes to follow the man’s movements. So far, he didn’t need to use the Divine Eyes, as the
Meeting the Brother
"Very well, if you insist. Let’s finish them off!" Fang Yun finally gave in to the girl’s demand. Stopping her now was impossible, as Mei Hwa had already dashed into the heart of battle.The dim, almost pitch-black surroundings made it hard to see clearly. Both of them narrowed their eyes, trying to adjust to the darkness.Fang Yun and Mei Hwa took firm stances, ready for combat, while five figures clad entirely in black surrounded them.The clash began anew. Mei Hwa faced two of them, while Fang Yun had to deal with three opponents at once.The two assailants targeting Mei Hwa managed to draw her away from Fang Yun, splitting the battle into two separate duels.Mei Hwa moved nimbly, dodging the flurry of attacks aimed at her. Just as Fang Yun had once taught her, she focused on observing and deciphering the rhythm of her opponents’ movements.Although she was forced to defend at first, this was the first time Mei Hwa had ever fought enemies of such caliber—and she proved she had lear
The True Owner of the Heavenly Sword
Seeing Crown Prince Xiao Yu occasionally grimace from the pain in his chest, Fang Yun stood and approached the imperial heir of the Yuan Empire.Prince Xiao Yu instinctively tried to back away, but Mei Hwa quickly said,“It’s all right, Yu-gege. Fang Yun will heal your wound.”“I’m sorry, Fang Yun. I misunderstood you,” said the prince, bowing his head.Fang Yun gave a faint smile. “Please, relax his muscles, Your Highness,” he said softly. The young man placed his palm on Prince Xiao Yu’s back and slowly channeled his inner energy.The prince immediately felt a warm current flow into his body, circulating with his blood. Moments later, a cool sensation began swirling in his chest, easing his pain.“Now, take a deep breath, Your Highness,” Fang Yun instructed.The prince obeyed, inhaling deeply before exhaling slowly. A wide smile spread across his face. The heaviness in his breathing had vanished, and even the pain in his chest was gone entirely.“You’re truly remarkable, Fang Yun. N
The Robbery Plan
In complete agreement with Mei Hwa, Fang Yun too was curious to witness firsthand just how terrible Wan Fenli’s temperament truly was.“Your Highness, how far along are your preparations for reclaiming the throne that rightfully belongs to you?” Fang Yun asked calmly.Prince Xiao Yu rose from his seat and unfurled a scroll containing the map of the Yuan Empire. With practiced precision, he circled more than a dozen points before handing the map to Fang Yun.“These circled areas mark the strongholds of my forces,” he explained. “They’re ready to march into battle the moment I give the command.”Fang Yun studied the map carefully, analyzing the terrain and positions. “What’s the current ratio of our strength compared to theirs, Your Highness?” he asked.Prince Xiao Yu sighed heavily, as though the weight of the empire rested upon his chest. “To be honest, our preparations are far from ideal. The troops under my command amount to barely one-tenth of their army. And as for war funds—our r
The Plan Executed
Upon reaching the rooftop of the first official’s residence he planned to strike, Fang Yun stopped and carefully observed the situation below.Four guards stood vigil at the main gate, while inside, eight others were gathered together, chatting to stay awake.“If I go through the front, it’ll be impossible to avoid commotion,” he muttered inwardly.Fang Yun looked for another route that would allow him to enter without alerting the guards. He needed to keep his tracks hidden so that suspicion would fall on those living in the residence itself.After a moment of thought, he leapt away from the building, crossed the street, and vaulted onto the roof of another house.Recalling the layout of the residence he had memorized earlier, the young man jumped lightly from rooftop to rooftop until he reached the exact spot above the official’s house.Quietly, he lifted a tile after making sure he was above one of the rooms marked on the map.“Empty,” he murmured inwardly.After placing the tile b
Secret Meeting
The step-uncle of Prince Xiao Yu and Mei Hwa received reports from the five officials who had become victims—along with others who feared they would be next.Instead of sympathy from Emperor Yan Yuan, the officials who reported the strange thefts were harshly scolded by the supreme ruler of the Yuan Dynasty.“Something as trivial as that, and you bring it to me? What’s the point of me paying you so much if every minor problem must cross my desk?” the emperor—slender, handsome, yet with a cruel face—barked while sitting with his hands on his hips atop his throne.“Your Majesty, please listen to their grievances. If they could resolve it on their own, they would not have come to you,” said an older man with a thin mustache, a few years senior to Emperor Yan Yuan, speaking softly.“Advisor Li, this isn’t the first time they’ve complained to me about small matters. They should learn to solve their problems themselves! I already have far greater issues to deal with!” Emperor Yan Yuan growl
Fang Yun vs. Jia Lie
“Damn it!” cursed Fang Yun.It wouldn’t have been a real problem if Fang Yun simply wanted to flee from that place. But running away was never his plan—his true goal was to drain that corrupt official’s wealth.Since he had already been discovered, there was no point in hiding. Fang Yun leapt down lightly, landing among a dozen soldiers who immediately surrounded him with weapons drawn. Dozens more rushed out from inside, forming a perimeter as they prepared to attack.“I’ll only warn you once. Leave… or I’ll slaughter every one of you right here,” Fang Yun said softly, his tone laced with menace.“Look at this fool! He’s gone mad. He thinks he can take us all down by him—”Before the soldier standing ten steps ahead could even finish his words, his head had already separated from his body.The man had died by his own sword—only, his weapon was now in Fang Yun’s hand.“So fast!” several soldiers murmured in unison. Instinctively, they stepped back a few paces. Their distance from Fang
Sweep
The deputy war general no longer cared about the difference in strength between the two of them. All that occupied his mind was attack after attack. Kill or be killed — a principle he had held throughout battle.“Die!” Jia Lie shouted as he leapt and swung his sword aiming for his enemy’s head.But he was stunned when his blow cut through empty air.“Who are you attacking?” Fang Yun laughed lightly, mocking.Jia Lie spun his body quickly. Suddenly he felt a burning pain at his neck.“Welcome to your new life in hell!” Fang Yun waved as Jia Lie’s body collapsed, his head severed from his shoulders.Fang Yun turned and looked at the soldier who had earlier been trembling violently with fear. His face was pale and cold, like that of a living corpse.“Show me where the treasure is hidden!” Fang Yun demanded.“Mercy, Lord… please don’t kill me,” the soldier begged.“I promise I won’t kill you. Now show me where that man’s treasure is hidden.” Although Fang Yun had originally planned to lea
