2023-02-23 16:51:47The screams turned into thunderous laughter. Jian Zhang glared at everyone who had laughed at him earlier.
“ARE YOU CRAZY?!” He stepped straight for the holy priest. Without warning, he directly kicked the priest’s body.“Are you sure what you threw was holy water, huh? It doesn’t feel like holy water. It tastes like salty water!” Jian Zhang grinned.How could that be?Everyone looks shocked. All the demons must have reacted with the holy water. But if the water didn’t react, that was a sign that Jian Zhang was a human.The enraged Jian Zhang immediately drew his sword, slashing everyone who entered without permission at his place.“Forgive us, Prince!”"Help! Help me!”“Run! Don't get in my way!”Terrible screams in the silent night frightened anyone who heard it .Cheng Wu and Tian He who heard the screams immediately quickened their steps.Until they arrived at the courtyard of Xue Fen’s residence. They were instantly stunned to see a body that was no longer alive. Blood pooled in the courtyard. Some of the body pieces were still moving and crawling, trying to save themselves.Jian Zhang glanced at his people. “Come inside. Let me take care of these people,” he ordered.With trembling hands and fear, Bojing helped his comrades. They obeyed Jian Zhang’s order and directly closed the door.Jian Zhang swung the sword, the traces of blood that still stuck to the sword, splashing everywhere.Jian Zhang was ready to attack, but Cheng Wu immediately blocked and knelt down.“Sorry for the stupidity of these people, Prince.” Cheng Wu’s hands clenched into fists.Perhaps it was indeed a mistake if he thought Jian Zhang was a devil. As proof, the holy water did not hurt Jian Zhang.“Jiang Zhang!” Jiao Zhang who knew that her younger brother was causing trouble walked over.Jiao Zhang couldn’t see what was happening, but she could feel the stench of blood. She was also walking carefully, as if she knew that there were many bodies lying on the ground.Seeing his sister coming, Jian Zhang put his sword back in.“I am not doing anything, Sister Jiao.” Like a child afraid of being scolded by his mother, that was Jian Zhang’s face at this moment.Gently, Jian Zhang guided his older sister’s steps, past people who were dead or alive.Cheng Wu took a deep breath. After Jian Zhang entered the residence, he ordered his men to clean up the yard.“It seems he is not a demon,” explained Xian Wu. “If the Prince is a demon, he would have been dead by holy water.”“Is it possible that there are devils who don’t react to holy water?” Tian He argued.There are many types of demons out there, and maybe there are types of demons that they don’t know about.Xian Wu wasn’t sure, but the ones he encountered so far, all of them would react with holy water.Meanwhile, in the residence, Jian Zhang fell down. Burns filled his chest, created a terrible wound. And the only remedy is to drink the blood of mystical beasts. But right now, he couldn’t get out.“Prince, are you all right?” asked Bojing at the door. Since earlier, prince Jian Zhang did not want to leave the room, this made him worry.“I’m fine.” But Jian Zhang’s voice didn’t sound that good.“No need to worry about me. Take Jiao Zhang to mother’s place. It’s safer there than here!” Jian Zhang ordered.In the end, Bojing could only obey Jian Zhang’s order. He brought Jiao Zhang to the empress’s quarters. Leaving Jian Zhang alone in his place.Jian Zhang opened the window, watching his sister and all the servants leave. It was too dangerous for them to continue with him. Jian Zhang didn’t know when he would lose control, and the worst could happen to those closest to him.The night was getting late, the sound of dogs howling sounds so far away.With injuries on his body, Jian Zhang tried to dodge from the passing security. As fast as lightning, he jumped from the roof to the roof next to it, until finally he reached the back of the palace. He ran through the dark night. Then disappeared into the darkness.***In the forest, alone and injured, this reminds Jian Zhang of his past. The corners of the young man’s lips lifted into a faint smile. Jian Zhang’s breathing sounded heavy. However, he must quickly find his target animal.Slowly, Jian Zhang stepped into the forbidden forest. But just as he stepped foot he heard a scream.“Help!”The voice sounded very clear in the silence. Jian Zhang walked towards the source of the sound and thought that it was like a child’s voice. But how could there be a child in the forbidden forest?The wolf’s roar made Jian Zhang quicken his pace.It didn’t take long. With his bare hands, Jian Zhang pulled the wolf until its skin peeled off. Blood spurted everywhere up to the face of a small child who stared in fear.One or two wolves fell. Jian Zhang jumped, covering the trembling little boy’s body. He showed intimidation towards the wolf.The wolf roared and circled around Jian Zhang.'They didn’t give up!' Jian Zhang thought.Under normal circumstances, Jian Zhang could easily blow the wolf away. However, the current situation is not possible. He was seriously injured.'This is so bad!'Under pressure, Jian Zhang could not maintain his human body. Slowly, his long nails were sticking out. His sharp fangs appeared, his eyes turned red, and his skin turned pale white.The little boy step backward. He thought that the man who helped him was also not human. As said by his master, that demons can turn into humans. And this man is not human.“Stay behind me!” Jian Zhang said.For a few seconds, Jian Zhang stared at the hungry wolf. Perhaps by showing his demonic side, the wolf could leave without a fight. His gaze kept on the wolves, who were about to get scared.“Zikui!” A man’s scream made the little boy turn his head.“Don’t worry, we’ll help you!”Two holy priests cast a spell.“Don’t attack him! This demon helped me...!”“Are you crazy?!” shouted his friend.“Maybe that kid already hypnotized by that devil! We have to be careful!” said his partner.The devil has advantages, and one thing they know is that the devil can hypnotize his prey.“No!” Little Zikui used his body as a shield. He turned to the devil, who helped him. “Go, Hurry!”"Shut up!" Jian Zhang shouted at the young priest. "Useless spells. Do you want to be eaten by this wolf?!"

“What do you mean, dear?” Li Wei tried to calm Gao Zhang’s anger, gently stroking her husband’s arm with innocent face.But, the man could not calm down at the moment. The news circulating was like crashing waves, and he himself could not overcome the waves.“Don’t play dumb. You’re the one who sent them, right?!” he accused Li Wei. The only one who had any connection to the Night Shadows was his concubine.“This action of yours is too dangerous! Didn’t you think about the consequences later?” Gao Zhang snapped in anger.“I did it to teach him a lesson,” Li Wei retorted. “I can’t watch him live happily while my poor son lives in sorrow!”“And look at you. You don’t seem to care about your son’s situation. That’s why you haven’t done anything!” Li Wei shouted in anger. It was as if she was the one who suffered the most.Gao Zhang rubbed his face roughly. In this position, he could feel his concubine’s pain. He was like being blinded by love. He couldn’t tell what was right and what was
Chapter 13. The Night Shadow
“Guards!” Jian Zhang shouted loudly, but not a single guard came, as if this attack was intentional.“Mom!” Jian Zhang used his body as a shield for Xue Fen. “Take cover behind me.”Memories of the past flashed back in Xue Fen’s mind. It seemed like only yesterday that Jian Zhang had called his mother with his little mouth, but this little boy was now her protector.Since when did Jian Zhang’s shoulders look big and masculine?Xue Fen couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She was not crying out of fear, but because time had passed so quickly.The second arrow shot out again. Jian Zhang pulled his mother away. His position was unfavorable, he was an easy target.Jian Zhang thought quickly. There were three archers at the other end. He had to move faster than the arrows.Jian Zhang carried his mother’s body, gathered all his inner strength, and ran as fast as an arrow.“What happened?” The archers of the Night Shadow gasped at Jian Zhang’s movements.“Hurry, we must finish him off tonig
Chapter 12. The Wrong Target
“Has Jian Zhang been found yet?” Xue Fen looked worried. It had been two days since Jian Zhang disappeared, and no one knew where her son was.“I’m sorry, Your Highness, our men are still searching for Prince Jian Zhang,” said Kang Shen, one minister who sided with Xue Fen.“We have nothing to worry about,” a minister from the Qiao clan chimed in. “Prince Jian Zhang is not a weakling. Haven’t we already seen how great the prince himself is?” He said proudly.Jian Zhang’s strength had circulated throughout the Zhang kingdom. The young man defeated Genji, who was at a different level than him. This clearly showed that Jian Zhang was not as weak as he used to be. The young man had changed. And this was good news for all of Empress Xue Fen’s supporters.“But we must not take our enemies lightly,” Kang Shen said in a serious tone. “The attack four years ago is proof that we underestimated our enemy.”There was silence for a moment. Four years ago, they suffered a crushing defeat; the attac
Chapter 11. Report from the Border Guard
The atmosphere was tense. Jian Zhang, who was injured by the holy water, thought quickly to protect the little priest and the two fellow priests.“Retreat!” Jian Zhang ordered.Zikui was silent for a moment. His heart was beating fast with fear until the demon in front of him raised his hand. It awakened Zikui, who was frozen in shock and fear.“Hey, little priest! Go to your stupid friends, or do you want to become food for these wolves?”Zikui ran towards his friends. Meanwhile, Jian Zhang stared intently at the wolves and groaned to intimidate the pack.Jian Zhang took a quick glance at the little priest, then focused on the enemy in front of him.“I will distract these wolves. And you guys leave this place immediately!” Jian Zhang commanded again.With his remaining strength, Jian Zhang jumped into the center of the wolves. The wolf pack immediately surrounded him with hateful eyes.“Run!”The wolf pack chased after Jian Zhang. He ran as far as he could to give the young priests t

The screams turned into thunderous laughter. Jian Zhang glared at everyone who had laughed at him earlier.“ARE YOU CRAZY?!” He stepped straight for the holy priest. Without warning, he directly kicked the priest’s body.“Are you sure what you threw was holy water, huh? It doesn’t feel like holy water. It tastes like salty water!” Jian Zhang grinned.How could that be?Everyone looks shocked. All the demons must have reacted with the holy water.

Chapter 9. Suspicious Evidence
Tian He had just finished training when he encountered someone who looked suspicious. At first he thought the person was an intruder, but after noticing, it turned out that what he saw was prince Jian Zhang. And why was prince Jian Zhang acting like an intruder?Jian Zhang jumped down. Tian He defended with his careful eyes. Jian Zhang’s clothes were wet, even though there was no rain today.“Good evening, Jian Zhang,” he greeted. In the past, Tian He didn’t pay attention to Jian Zhang. In his eyes, this prince was just a kid who didn’t have martial arts talent. But now, his mind changed. Even when they fought together, he was sure Jiang Zhang had not fully unleashed his strength. There is still a secret to its power.“What is the Prince doing at this time?” Tian He asked curiously. “Just taking a walk, and accidentally slipped into the lake." Jian Zhang excused. Tian He did not suspect the slightest bit, he let Jian Zhang go after that. The next day...The sudden death of the f
Chapter 8. Unlucky day!
“How can he still be alive?” Li Wei feeling anxious. Jian Zhang’s presence would definitely ruin her plans. “Calm down, Your Highness,” said Li Wei’s trusted maid, Qiu Fa.Li Wei still couldn’t calm down. Genji is beyond hope. And the second son, Wen Zhang, was not too dependable at all. Her second son’s reputation was too bad. He was always getting into trouble with cases of abuse against women. What must Li Wei do to maintain her plan? “We only have one hope, Your Majesty.” Feng Chai spoke up. He is the minister who supports Li Wei.“We have to change Young Master Wen’s reputation in order to nominate him as Crown Prince.” Li Wei agreed, but how to tame her wild son? There was no other way. Li Wei had to force her second son to become the crown prince or all her dreams would be gone before they came true."Your Highness need not worry about that. Let me take care of the second Prince's matters."“What if he brings trouble?” Li Wei looked at Feng Chai. ***In the forbidden fore
Chapter 7. Shocking Test Results!
Jian Zhang's eyelids opened. The figure of a shady-faced and gentle woman was sitting next to him."Are you awake?" Her sweet voice asked. Jiao Zhang felt movement from her brother's body. She thought Jian Zhang must have woken up."Give me five minutes," said Jian Zhang.Jiao Zhang smiled sweetly. She stroked her brother's head lovingly."You can't do it. Get up, you must meet His Majesty immediately." Jian Zhang's eyes showed deep hatred. His breath changed upon hearing that person's name."Did something happen while I was sleeping?" he asked with a suspicious tone. "Of course not. What are you thinking?" Jiao Zhang smiled faintly. "You've been sleeping all day. Aren't you tired?"Jian Zhang was silent for a moment, staring at his sister who was clearly hiding something from him."Okay." Jian Zhang finally agreed. He got out of bed and looked at Jiao Zhang with a suspicious look. His sister couldn't fool him. Jian Zhang could see the clear worry in Jiao Zhang's eyes."I've also pr
Chapter 6. Unrivaled Strength
“Who taught you such a great sword technique, my son?” Xue Fen was curious. She had never seen such a sword technique.“A master swordsman who taught me, mom. But he never mentioned his name. His sword technique is indeed very different from the Zhang kingdom.” Jiang Zheng lied.This was not a sword technique but because his strength is not like a normal human. He had more power than humans. And actually, he only knew how to slash swords.“Has he also taken care of you all this time?” Xue Fen asked again.Jian Zhang just nodded. There was no way he could admit that all this time he had lived alone. His mother would definitely feel guilty.Xue Fen looked proud. Jian Zhang used to be very weak and always despised by people, but now her son is different from the past. Her son could even defeat Genji Zhang who was a level 5 martial arts. But behind her happiness Xue Fen was worried. Jian Zhang noticed the mother’s changing expression. The shady face that gave the calm now looked worried.
