Chapter 47: Chasing Ghosts in the Dark.
Then without wasting any time—Gao snatched up his own broadsword off the floorboards along with Zareth’s short sword, his fingers wrapping around the hilts with desperate urgency. At the same moment, Zareth swiftly clipped his specialized twin weapon holsters around his waist, securing his lethal steel rods firmly against his hip. Outside, the sound of heavy, rushing footsteps grew louder and louder with every passing second, echoing furiously through the narrow, creaking stairwell.In the space of just a few frantic breaths—THUD!The heavy wooden door was violently kicked off its hinges, slamming open against the wall!About five members of Squad Nine burst straight into the chamber, their crude broadswords raised and primed for immediate bloodshed. But the moment their boots cleared the threshold, their eyes widened in absolute horror. The room was a grisly, horrific bloodbath, five of their fellow squad members lay butchered in widening pools of dark crimson, while two faint sh

"I will kill you!!!"The brute who had been shaking uncontrollably while clutching his sword finally forced the desperate roar out of his own mouth. Fueled by sheer panic, he swung his heavy broadsword in a brutal vertical arc straight down toward Gao, who was leaping toward him at that very instant.Shoosh!Gao ducked his head sideways, dodging the incoming strike by a hair's breadth. The broadsword cleaved through empty air.Clutch!In the very next second, Gao reached out with his massive, calloused hand and slammed his grip around the brute's skull. A deep, guttural growl tore from Gao's chest as he flexed his broad shoulders. With terrifying strength, he lifted the heavy thug completely off the floorboards as if he weighed nothing at all, despite the intruder being nearly as large as Gao himself.THUD!With a ferocious swing, Gao smashed the thug's head straight through the wooden wall! Splinters flew everywhere as the wall cracked under the violent impact. Realizing the brute w

"Zareth!"Gao’s mind spiraled into a storm of sheer panic as he tried to process what was unfolding before his eyes. "Zareth... Zareth just killed them! He actually slaughtered them!"Gao thought in absolute disbelief, his muscles stiffening in shock. Just as he lunged forward, preparing to vault out over the wooden window sill to chase down the attackers outside—Shoosh!The two remaining thugs from the alleyway vaulted directly into Zareth's chamber!Their boots hit the floorboards with a wet, heavy thud, landing squarely in a widening pool of fresh blood. The crimson liquid shimmered under the dim, unwavering glow of the room's candle lanterns, a quiet flame that had somehow remained steadily lit amidst the visceral, horrific carnage taking place within the room.!!!The two incoming thugs instantly ducked into low combat stances, their guards slamming up as they drew their heavy, iron-forged broadswords.Having vaulted straight past Gao, who was still standing near the window fram
Chapter 44: Wrath of Zareth.
"Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!"The three thugs burst into loud, mocking laughter, their harsh cackles echoing throughout the chamber as they stared at Zareth, who had just coughed up a pool of crimson blood onto the bedsheets. The thug who had struck Zareth, still holding his iron scabbard, laughed so hard he shed tears, exchanging glances with Kuwi and the woman. Meanwhile, Gao remained trapped near the window frame, strangled by the tension of the rope, tears of sheer frustration and guilt welling in his eyes as he watched Zareth's meditation get shattered, deeply blaming himself for failing in his sworn duty to guard the room. Kuwi stood at the center as the leader of the trio, grinning maliciously, while the female thug leaned against the side wall, thoroughly enjoying every second of the cruel spectacle.Inside the room, the laughter continued for almost a minute. Zareth remained motionless on the bed, rapidly recovering from the temporary shock. Because he was only executing a founda

Later that night...Gao leaned casually against the wooden desk, resting his heavy forearms on the surface as he looked down at the vibrant night life unfolding around the Divine Damsel pleasure house.Down in the illuminated alleyway below, heavily painted women dressed in silks fluttered their fans, purring enticements toward passing patrons to charm them into the establishment. A hired musician sat on an elevated wooden stool near the entrance, plucking smooth, hypnotic melodies from a zither to entice those who strolled by in the cool night air.Gao watched the spectacle from his high vantage point on the upper floor of Zareth's private chamber. He had pulled the wooden shutters wide open, having realized earlier in the day that Zareth possessed an astounding capacity for absolute mental concentration. Despite the loud, chaotic noise of the pleasure district echoing up from below, Zareth remained entirely unaffected. Gao had conducted various tasks throughout the room, pacing ac
Chapter 42: Shadows Over the Pleasure House.
Zareth continued with his cultivation to break through to the Second Stage of Body Tempering, a move coming just under only two weeks after his first stage ascension.Zareth possessed a deep, profound understanding of the martial path carried over from his past life. At this precise moment, he was riding a powerful wave of momentum that still lingered deep within his being following his first stage completion. Based on his vast past experience, he knew and understood that capitalizing on this internal momentum was the key to reaping maximum benefits. He instinctively felt that now was the perfect time to push forward. Such momentum was fleeting; at higher realms, breaking through certain stages would inevitably require external stimuli, such as life-or-death combat, to force the body past its limits.Right now, however, Zareth was simply riding that lingering momentum, knowing full well that no physical combat was required for his current realm. Thus, he opted to break straight thro
