CHAPTER 31: RELIC WEAPONS
The day before their departure, Wong An took Ba Bel to the Sky Pavilion. Members could exchange their contributions for weapons here, or purchase them with money.“Bel’er, you possess excellent swordsmanship for a boy your age. Your Master will give you a sword, as you must also learn to protect yourself on this journey.” Wong An explained his reasons for bringing Ba Bel here. “However, your Master doesn’t have many savings left, so I cannot buy you a high-quality sword at this time.”Wong An offered an embarrassed smile, but Ba Bel fully understood his master’s situation. For the past year, Wong An had not undertaken any missions, dedicating all his time to training Ba Bel. All his wealth had been spent on medicinal herbs and resources for Ba Bel’s cultivation.Even if Liu Chan hadn't sent a letter, Wong An and Ba Bel would have surely left the Sect to undertake some missions and provide for the Bamboo Villa’s needs.Ba Bel actually didn't have many options. Although his body develop
CHAPTER 32: THE FIRST JOURNEY
Several days passed, and their journey was largely uneventful. The distance between their Sect and the Capital was vast, so Wong An and Ba Bel traveled using their body-lightening skill.Wong An wanted to use this opportunity to let Ba Bel become more accustomed to using the body-lightening skill. Wong An was stunned to discover Ba Bel possessed such immense stamina, as his disciple was able to run non-stop for several hours without tiring.During their journey, Ba Bel continued to regularly consume Water Bamboo whenever he had the chance. Ba Bel hadn't forgotten his desire to achieve the Iron Tiger Bone quality before turning ten, and thus, he never slacked off.“If we maintain this speed, we'll soon reach the main road,” Wong An said.Indeed, after leaving the Earth and Sky Sword Sect, Wong An had taken the shortest route to the Capital, leading them to run around mountains, through valleys, and across grasslands. This path would be impassab
CHAPTER 33 The Protector
Wong An and Ba Bel's goal was to reach the Capital City as quickly as possible, so it was best to avoid unnecessary trouble. Wong An and Ba Bel eventually stopped, allowing the procession to gain distance from them.“Master, why did we stop instead of passing them? It seems they're carrying a lot of goods, so their journey must be slower than ours,” Ba Bel asked.“Be patient, Bel’er. Noble families have a different mindset than ordinary people. They value their prestige greatly and are easily offended by simple things. At night, when their horses need to rest, we will pass them,” Wong An explained to Ba Bel.Wong An indeed had some experience, as certain missions had put him in dealings with noble families, one of them being the Mi family.“Moreover, they are carrying many valuable items, and it's highly likely their journey is already known to bandits. If we insist on passing them during the day, we could face two poss
CHAPTER 34 : THE DEATH MASK
“Master, I’d like to practice for a bit before bed,” Ba Bel said to Wong An.Although it was already dark, the night was still too young for Ba Bel to rest. He wanted to find a secluded spot and consume Water Bamboo as usual.“Don’t go too far. This place isn’t very safe,” Wong An didn’t forbid him, feeling that Ba Bel possessed a certain level of self-protection.Ba Bel nodded softly before leaving Wong An alone. He knew that every night during their journey, Wong An would resume cultivating his internal energy.“Master’s condition has certainly improved compared to before, but it will still take time for him to fully recover,” Ba Bel thought, shaking his head.Wong An’s internal injuries were indeed very serious. If not for the quality of his bones and the internal energy he possessed when he sustained the wounds, Wong An might have died within days or become crippled. That W
CHAPTER 35 MI SUO'S REASON
The next morning, Wong An and Ba Bel were ready to depart and continue their journey, leaving Mi Suo’s retinue. However, Wong An deliberately waited for the right moment to convey information about the Death Masks.“Elder Wong, I hope that before you and your disciple leave our group, you would do me the honor of having breakfast with me,” Mi Suo said with a smile to Wong An. Mi Suo very much hoped to forge a close relationship with Wong An.Wong An accepted Mi Suo’s invitation, thinking that after breakfast would be the ideal time for him to convey the information about the Death Masks to Mi Suo.“The Death Masks!” Mi Suo exclaimed loudly in shock when Wong An told him that his disciple had seen three masked martial artists observing Mi Suo’s camp last night.A panicked Mi Suo paced back and forth before Wong An. Wong An had actually intended to tell Mi Suo that he was likely the Death Masks’ target and the
CHAPTER 36 The Death Mask Strikes
Mi Suo invited Wong An to meet his future father-in-law, intending to give Wong An 400 gold coins. Although Wong An had refused him many times, Mi Suo insisted and persuaded Wong An to accompany him to meet his prospective father-in-law and accept the 400 gold coins he planned to bestow.Ba Bel thought it better not to attend such a boring event. "Master, I'd like to look around this place," Ba Bel told Wong An, who was walking with Mi Suo toward his future father-in-law's residence.Once Wong An agreed, Ba Bel walked in the opposite direction. Mi Suo requested a first-class guard to escort and accompany Ba Bel. Ba Bel refused Mi Suo's request, feeling it was unnecessary, but even Ba Bel himself couldn't resist Mi Suo's coaxing and persuasion for more than a minute. In the end, Ba Bel could only give in, paying little heed to the guard, a first-class warrior, who followed him.After walking and finding a secluded spot, Ba Bel told the guard, "I'm going to meditate. You should rest; I c
CHAPTER 37 Ba Bel's Assault
Ba Bel immediately withdrew his short sword from the yellow-masked assassin's body just before it hit the ground. He then attacked the green-masked assassin closest to him. Ba Bel's offensive movements were too swift to be followed by the eyes of a third-class warrior like the green-masked assassin. Even the yellow-masked assassins had found it difficult to track Ba Bel's movements.It never once crossed the minds of the Death Mask assassins that they would be terrified fighting a child they believed to be only about 12 to 14 years old."Quick, stop him!" cried one of the masked assassins, panicking at Ba Bel's actions.The masked assassins panicked after seeing Ba Bel kill a green-masked assassin, a third-class warrior, in just two moves. These masked assassins, who had long spread terror and witnessed the panic of their victims, now found themselves terrified and panicking as they watched Ba Bel kill with a smile.One thing Ba Bel had learned years ago when he met Liu XinHua was that
Chapter 38: Death Mask Ambush
Mi Suo incessantly praised himself in front of his future father-in-law and fiancée. The way his fiancée looked at Wong An made Mi Suo uncomfortable and annoyed.“No wonder last night I dreamed of a very valiant and mighty God of War visiting my home. It turns out today my humble abode is graced by a great hero. We truly feel honored and incredibly fortunate.” Mi Suo’s future father-in-law openly flattered Wong An.Wong An, who was drinking tea, choked upon hearing Young Master Mi’s future father-in-law’s words. He thought that when someone dreams of a God of War visiting their home, it signifies an impending fierce war. The dream could also mean the family would be blessed with a child highly gifted in martial arts.However, considering Mi Suo’s future father-in-law was already middle-aged and his wife had passed away, only one possibility remained: Mi Suo’s future father-in-law’s residence was about to become a battlefield.Wong An choked again on his tea, served by Mi Suo’s future f
Chapter 39: Killer Aura
Ba Bel and the Mi family guards’ expressions turned grim upon seeing the state of Mi Suo’s future father-in-law’s residence. Many bodies of servants and guards lay strewn along the paths, covered in blood, some in truly gruesome conditions.“These Death Mask assassins are more ruthless than the rumors I’ve heard. Not only do they kill their targets, but they also eliminate anyone who could be a witness to their actions,” Ba Bel said irritably.Ba Bel suspected these Death Mask assassins acted this way to enhance their reputation and make their organization even more feared. It was no surprise such an organization would one day be destroyed due to its arrogance.“If I ever have the chance and sufficient ability, I will eradicate this Death Mask organization, because when the dark ages come, the world will not lack martial artists like these.” Ba Bel thought to himself, unable to bear seeing so many innocent corpses.A nobleman’s residence, usually neat and fragrant, now reeked of blood,
Chapter 40: Rocks from Zuo Ci
Zuo Ci took a deep breath, disappointment evident on his face. "I'm too late," he murmured softly, cleaning his sword of the masked assassins' blood."Senior, thank you for your help, but we still need to save Young Master Mi, my Master, and the others." Ba Bel showed his respect and gratitude to Zuo Ci for saving him from a dangerous situation.Zuo Ci's spirits lifted when he learned there was another martial artist protecting Mi Suo. Zuo Ci still held hope that Li Dian and Mi Suo were safe. Since Ba Bel referred to this martial artist as his master, Zuo Ci reasoned that if Ba Bel alone displayed such terrifying talent at a young age, then the martial artist who was Ba Bel's Master must surely be capable of protecting Mi Suo, perhaps even more formidable than Li Dian."Young man, please lead the way," Zuo Ci said with a smile to Ba Bel.The three then hurried towards the reception hall of Mi Suo's future in-laws' residence. Sure enough, as they entered the main courtyard, the intense
