"Hahaha… Foolish human! Die!"Dozens of crimson beams shot out from the Crimson Demon’s fingers, surging toward A Fu. But the old man skillfully evaded and parried several of them with swift, precise movements.Unlike Cheng Yu, who had only been able to dodge because his strength was insufficient to withstand the Crimson Demon’s attacks, A Fu confidently deflected the relentless strikes aimed at his body.Because of A Fu’s repeated parries, many of the Crimson Demon’s attacks went astray, ripping through the forest instead. Dozens of trees crashed to the ground, and the destruction spread wide.A faint smile tugged at A Fu’s lips as he watched the demon’s growing frustration. He stomped his right foot powerfully into the earth, then shot forward at a speed invisible even to masters of the highest rank."Not bad, human. But that won’t help you much!" the Crimson Demon shouted, just before A Fu’s strike landed."World-Destroying En

The wildfire spreading through the forest grew larger, and A Long finally decided to approach the battlefield where not a single tree was left standing.After drawing his sword, letting the whitish-green glow from the blade illuminate his path, A Long walked slowly while scanning every corner.He shook his head in disbelief at what he saw. Never before had he witnessed with his own eyes such devastating destruction caused by a single battle.“Where should I look for Fang An?” The crown prince, Xiao Yu’s son, was confused, searching for Fang An among the countless fallen trees across the vast area.His confusion was finally resolved when A Fu and his three disciples came to meet him. Mo Lin still looked weak, though the internal injuries he had suffered had relatively healed.“Has the Prince been found?” asked A Fu.“Not yet, Grandfather. It’s too difficult for me to search for Fang An alone.” A Long shook his head slowl

During his stay in the palace, Fang An diligently studied the Divine Fire Manual. He knew his future opponents would at least possess power equal to that of the Red Demon.His father had once told him that his strength would grow with every journey he undertook. Stronger enemies would always appear, each one trying to kill him. That was why his father had always urged him to stop chasing after new techniques.The Divine Fire Strike was the first technique from the manual that Fang An practiced. He requested Emperor Siu Wen to allow him more time to stay in the palace so that he could continue his training.Along with the Fire Strike, Fang An also studied the Divine Fire Step. At the very least, he wanted to perfect those two techniques before departing.Of course, Emperor Siu Wen could not refuse the Prince of the Shang Dynasty. Fang An was the hero who had liberated hundreds of the Tong Dynasty’s people and destroyed the stronghold of the Dark Prince’s followers. At this point, Fang

“The Sacred Blood Moon Sect is a dark sect hidden in a valley beyond Mount Yuelu, Prince. They use the blood of virgins for their offerings,” explained Duke Song Jian.“Then why are they extorting you, Duke? What connection do you have with them?” Fang An pressed. He already sensed a breakthrough.The duke lowered his head, regret written across his face.“I was once part of them, Prince. I joined secretly before I was married.”“And after you married, you left them?”“Yes, Prince. I left without permission from Ren Zhi, the leader of the Sacred Blood Moon Sect.”Fang An nodded, understanding. He could see the duke’s regret was genuine.No matter how strong a man was, when the safety of his wife and children was threatened, he would become fragile—especially when he was powerless to act.“Very well. Now we know who the perpetrators are. What remains is to uncover which of their members is hiding inside this palace.” Fang An’s gaze lifted to the ceiling as he thought hard.“Do you have

Fang An gave a small smile and nodded."At the very least, we need some information from you, Sir, about the situation inside that sect."Duke Song Jian took a deep breath and released it slowly."As for the current situation, I do not know, Prince. It has been more than twenty years since I last joined them.""It’s all right, Sir. At least it can serve as a rough picture for the two of us about the situation there. But for now, we want to bathe first. Later, we will meet you again," Fang An said."Very well, Prince." Duke Song Jian bowed slightly to show respect. After that, he walked back to his chamber.Nearly two hours passed before Fang An and A Fu came out of their room. The two of them hurried toward Duke Song Jian’s private chamber to continue their discussion.Inside the chamber, Duke Song Jian still looked uneasy about the situation he was facing.On one hand, he feared that Fang An and A Fu might fail in their plan to attack the Holy Blood Moon Sect. If that happened, he to
