“Don’t think I’ll ever be afraid to face you. In fact, this only makes me even more eager to break through your defenses!” shouted Xiao Chen, his voice echoing fiercely.“Damn bastard! To hell with the chief’s order—let’s just kill him now!” bellowed Jalak Kebo, his fury boiling over.The two pairs of twin warriors instantly darted forward, moving in perfect synchronization to encircle Xiao Chen. Their coordinated attacks struck relentlessly toward his vital points. Yet, as expected, Xiao Chen’s superior speed allowed him to evade their deadly strikes—though this time, he was clearly being pushed harder than before.Frustration twisted the faces of the four elders as not one of their blows managed to graze him. Snarling in irritation, they decided to draw their weapons. Jalak Kebo unsheathed his black-bladed sword—its dark hue matching his own skin—and lunged first, followed by his twin who mirrored his every move.The twin Jalak Kebos’

Thinking while fighting was pointless at this moment. Both Jalak Kebo and Gading Wulung found themselves trapped in a desperate situation, unable to find any way out. Whether they liked it or not, the only path left was to fight to the death.Meanwhile, although Xiao Chen had yet to uncover the weakness of his four opponents who used the Twin Body Technique, he refused to relent. His attacks grew sharper and more relentless, especially after sensing the fierce reaction from his Demon Wolf Sword—he wanted to see what kind of result such power could produce.The battle raged on fiercely. Xiao Chen increased his speed, determined to end the long, drawn-out fight once and for all. His four enemies began to lose ground rapidly; their movements slowed, and it was only a matter of time before his black-bladed sword pierced through their bodies.In the end, the main cause of their downfall was their dwindling inner energy. One of Jalak Kebo’s duplicates was struck by a slash that severed his

The small group halted at a roadside eatery that had just been vacated by Xiao Chen and Xiao Ji. The place was still quiet, with only a few customers chatting idly while waiting for their food to arrive.Once inside, they sat at three adjoining tables. One of the members of the Virgin Blood Sect approached the owner to order food.While his disciples were chatting among themselves, Bajra Kalingga closed his eyes, sensing the faint trace of energy he had felt the previous afternoon. He was certain that the person they had been pursuing had stopped by this very place.Curious to confirm his feeling, Bajra Kalingga rose and walked toward the man who owned the eatery.Seeing their leader move away, his disciples could only exchange glances, wondering silently what their master had discovered. Some even whispered to one another, unable to hide their curiosity.“Did two young men stop by here earlier? One of them carried two swords on his back,” Bajra Kalingga asked once he was close enough

The coordinated attacks of Banyu Geni and his three companions began to weaken little by little. Their movements slowed, the rhythm of their blades grew uncertain. Xiao Chen immediately seized that precious opportunity. His hands blurred into motion — the White Tiger Claw Strike lashed out with ferocious speed, slicing across two necks in a single sweeping motion. The deadly accuracy of his strike severed their breath in an instant.A pair of deathly screams tore through the air before fading into silence. The sound jolted both Banyu Geni and Lintang Aji back to awareness. They had tried to suppress their fear, but the sight of their fallen comrades — bodies sprawled lifeless on the dusty ground — made terror surge back, stronger than before.Xiao Chen found it strange that six men had been sent to hunt only the two of them. Their skills were hardly impressive — certainly no match for the two formidable swordsmen he had fought the previous night. Compared to those

Bajra Kalingga was utterly stunned. The young man whose blood he intended to harvest for instant power was not only resisting his attack — he was matching its strength blow for blow. Though Bajra Kalingga hadn’t used his full power yet, the fact that his opponent could withstand that much force without flinching gave him a clear picture: no wonder Gading Wulung or Jalak Kebo had failed against this youth.From that moment, Bajra Kalingga grew more cautious. He no longer dared to underestimate his foe. To his judgment, even when Gading Wulung and Jalak Kebo combined their strength with their Twin-Body Technique, they were still slightly weaker than him. And if this young man could defeat both, then it meant his strength was at least on par — perhaps even greater.Adjusting his stance, Bajra Kalingga drew upon his inner energy, channeling it into both hands. A red-black aura surged, swirling violently around his palms. The faint scent of poison hung in the air.“So, my guess was right,”
