Before Fang Yun could steady his balance, another attack came — invisible to the naked eye, so fast that only the surge of raw energy gave it away. The young warrior moved to dodge, leaping two steps to the side, but it was not enough. A powerful blow struck him in the back, so hard that he stumbled and rolled across the dusty warehouse floor, his body scraping against the rough stone.A soft cough escaped his lips, and moments later, fresh blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. As he pushed himself up, he wiped the blood away with the back of his hand, his jaw set tight against the pain.He had barely managed to stand when another unseen strike crashed into his chest. By some miracle, he had felt the energy rushing toward him in time, and crossed his arms in front of his body to block it. Even so, the force of the blow sent him flying backward nearly twelve steps, until he slammed into the wall of the warehouse with a deafening crash.Another cough wracked his body, and this ti

THE GOLDEN GIANT'S HAND

The moment Fang Yun snapped back at Zu Mao, Mei Hwa, Zhao Wen, and Hao Zun appeared beside him, their faces set in grim determination.When they saw the blood on Fang Yun’s robes, the three of them moved to help. But Fang Yun was quick to stop them, his voice sharp and urgent. “The three of you are no match for him. Go help Elder Wan over there!” He pointed toward Wan Fenli and Chun Li, who were locked in fierce combat with Moon Sect members and elders alike.“Come help him if you want to die with him!” Zu Mao showed no sign of anger at the newcomers. Instead, he taunted them all with arrogant confidence.“I don’t need their help to kill you!” Fang Yun retorted, his voice laced with scorn. He leaned in and whispered something to Zhao Wen before his friend turned and rushed off to aid Wan Fenli.Zu Mao’s eyes flashed with rage at the reply. He growled like a hunting tiger, then unleashed another invisible strike at the young warrior.“You didn’t learn from your mistakes, old man!” Fang

The Death of Zu Mao

A colossal golden palm floated high up in the sky, its shimmering surface catching the faint moonlight that peeked through the clouds above. The sheer size of it was breathtaking—so vast that it seemed to block out half the night sky, casting long, dark shadows over the dense forest below.Wan Fenli and the others could not hide the shock that washed over their faces, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at the impossible sight. But Zhao Wen was quick to snap out of his daze, his voice sharp and urgent as he shouted at the group to flee immediately."Go! Now! We don’t have time to stand here gawking!" he yelled, his face pale with anxiety.Their bodies felt heavy and sluggish under the immense pressure emanating from Zu Mao’s energy—an oppressive force that pressed down on their chests like a mountain, making it hard to breathe, let alone run. But they pushed through the discomfort, their legs pumping as fast as they could carry them, branches and leaves scratching at their

Jayanata

After making sure Zu Mao was nowhere to be seen, Fang Yun landed gently on the ground. He then sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to restore his stamina—his energy had been completely drained after unleashing the Golden Palm Sect’s ultimate technique. The air around him was still thick with dust and the acrid smell of smoke, a lingering reminder of the cataclysmic explosion that had just torn the land apart.A short while earlier, right as the deafening blast echoed through the night, a tall, muscular man with dark, rugged skin and two small horns protruding from his forehead was meditating inside a palace-like building. The walls were adorned with ancient carvings of mythical beasts, and the room was filled with a faint, purple glow from a single jade lamp on the altar before him.Suddenly, he opened his eyes—his irises a striking shade of crimson—as he felt a slight tremor shake the palace. But he did not look alarmed. With a dismissive snort, he closed his eyes again and resumed hi

The Four Guardians of Mount Guang Ming Ding

The atmosphere on Mount Guang Ming Ding was so oppressive it felt like the air itself was about to burst. Explosion after explosion rumbled through the peaks, each one echoing off the rocky cliffs and sending clouds of dust and debris soaring into the sky. The warriors fighting below held nothing back, pouring vast amounts of their internal energy into every strike and parry.Even though he was surrounded by four warriors whose skills far exceeded the average, Fang Yun still managed to match their combined strength. In fact, the young man had pushed them all onto the defensive. He used his superior speed to dart around the battlefield, moving so quickly that his opponents could barely keep up, launching one relentless attack after another."Four Stars Formation!" one of the guardians shouted. The pressure of being on the back foot forced them to unleash their most trusted battle formation.The four warriors leaped backward in perfect sync, gathering in a tight circle at the center of

The Sky Star Sect

Fang Yun had no intention of killing them—only of disabling them. He knew the four men were guardians of the Sky Star Sect, simply doing their duty to keep Mount Guang Ming Ding off-limits to strangers.Blaaaar!A loud explosion rang out, followed by another. Two of the mountain guardians were sent flying backward, crashing into a cluster of trees, after clashing energy with one of Fang Yun’s doppelgängers.Before they could even stand up, a thumb-thick tree branch was pressed against their throats."If you dare to get up, I’ll make sure this branch pierces your neck!" one of the doppelgängers warned, his voice cold and firm.The two men could only swallow hard. Never before had they been outsmarted so easily. The only way to survive was to obey and stay perfectly still.It didn’t take long for the other two guardians to be disabled too. They were injured, but not severely.Once all four opponents were defeated, Fang Yun’s four forms merged back into one. He then ordered the four guar

Reunion with the Fire Serpent

One of the four guardians of Mount Guang Ming Ding hurried out of the main hall, while the other three stayed behind to chat with Fang Yun.The man who left walked toward a room that seemed off-limits to most. After asking a few questions to the two disciples guarding the door, he knocked gently.Moments later, the door opened, and an old man with long white hair stepped out."Good timing that you’ve come, Zao Yin. There’s something I wanted to ask you," the old man said, then turned back inside. "Come in!""Yes, Master," Zao Yin replied, following him into the room and closing the door behind them."Why did you open the seal that hides our sect? Don’t you know the risks if that seal is broken?" the old man asked, his voice laced with mild anger."I’m sorry, Master. We had no choice. A young warrior forced us to let him meet you," Zao Yin said quietly."No choice? Does that mean this young warrior defeated all of you?"Zao Yin nodded. "Yes, Master. Even our Four Stars Formation couldn

The Successor of the Fire God Warrior

Aaaaakh!Fang Yun screamed out in agony, his voice echoing through the air as a violent surge of energy exploded within his body. The inner power coursing through his veins felt like it was ablaze, consuming him from the inside out. In mere moments, his sun-kissed, tan skin flushed a brilliant crimson—so bright and intense it looked just like a boiled crab pulled straight from steaming water.In the next heartbeat, the young man collapsed to his knees, using the Fire Sword as a crutch to keep himself from falling face-first onto the ground. His strength had been completely drained, and his body went limp as a wet cloth. Fang Yun knew he needed time to let his physical form adapt to the overwhelming torrent of energy that had flooded into him from the blade of the Fire Sword.Mei Hwa, who had been watching from nearby, rushed over to him at once. But the moment her fingers touched his arm, she pulled back with a sharp gasp—his skin was burning so fiercely it felt like she had laid her

The Heavenly Seal’s Mastery

Xiao Tian smiled as he listened to Mei Hwa’s answer. He had no intention of asking the young woman any more questions.Meanwhile, Guo Lin grew more and more excited to train Fang Yun in the Heavenly Seal—the most treasured technique of his sect. Fang Yun’s above-average ability to remember every lesson taught to him made the young man master the skill far more quickly than expected.In just one day, Fang Yun had successfully perfected the Heavenly Seal—a technique famously difficult to learn.“You’re absolutely insane, Fang Yun. No wonder Xiao Tian chose you as his successor. Back when I learned this seal, I managed to perfect it in less than two full moons. Xiao Tian himself needed one full moon to master it. But you? You did it in just one day,” Guo Lin shook his head in awe.“It was just luck, Master. Maybe it’s because I already know so many martial arts techniques—so it was just a matter of developing what I already had,” Fang Yun replied humbly, his head bowed.“Now let’s put wh
