Ch.38 - Servant Lian
"After the mysterious deaths of the thugs in the city, now we have mysterious deaths among the mountain bandits, huh?" Shu Fang Yun stared seriously at the report in his hand."There is a possibility that the culprit behind both incidents is the same person," Shu Chao added."Do you have any evidence?""No. It's just a feeling." Shu Chao slowly shook his head."Hm. Then it's nothing more than a possibility.""So far, we haven't found a single clue, and the investigation has yielded nothing. This person is very good at hiding their tracks," Shu Chao added."The massacre of those thugs only happened on a single night, while the incidents involving the bandits have been occurring night after night. If all those bandits are killed, it could become a problem for my Shu Family." Shu Fang Yun couldn't simply allow all the bandits to be killed. He had to do something."Increase the city's security. Conduct a more thorough investigation, and order several Red Wind Banner troops to patrol the h
Ch.37 - Acupuncture Points
Shu Xiang meditated, clearing his mind and focusing entirely on understanding martial arts techniques.The anatomy diagrams in the Dawn Cloud Sword manual were only detailed from the arms to the chest, showing everything from individual muscles to the acupuncture points. From the abdomen down to the legs, however, the diagrams only showed the major muscle groups without any acupuncture points. Therefore, the footwork in the technique consisted only of basic movements that were commonly known.That was only natural, since the Dawn Cloud Sword was a technique that emphasized the speed of slashes and thrusts. Even so, footwork remained important because it served as the foundation of the technique. However, since it was not the main focus, only simple movements were included, with a certain amount of energy circulated through specific muscles to support each movement of the arms.From the arms to the chest, there were forty acupuncture points. This was not the maximum number of acupunctu
Ch.36 - Shu Ming's Cunning Plan
After returning to the Shu Family residence, Shu Ming and Shu Lin immediately went to see their mother and reported everything that had happened."What? So that brat really can cultivate? And he's already strong enough to defeat Wu Zhi?" Wei An found it difficult to believe that the boy who had always been regarded as the trash of the Shu Family had actually been hiding his strength.So the fact that he had been able to punch Shu Ming and kill Guard Shui was not merely a coincidence. He had already become strong enough to do those things."Mother, if this is true, then my position could be threatened. He's also gained Father's attention, and he'll definitely start receiving the family's support for his cultivation." Shu Ming could not help but worry.Although he did not want to admit it, Shu Xiang was truly impressive for reaching this level without any support from the family. If he received the family's backing, his progress could accelerate dramatically, and he might even catch up
Ch.35 - Hunting Night (3)
Shu Xiang spent the night hunting bandits in the mountains surrounding Shu An City and the nearby villages.He had just finished wiping out the first group of bandits that night."The higher their cultivation, the more death energy is produced when they die."Shu Xiang absorbed the death energy left behind by the bandits and immediately refined it using the cultivation manual, The Dark Calamity. He focused 90% of the death energy on strengthening his physical body, while using the remaining 10% to replenish the energy he had expended.Shu Xiang had used very little energy to slaughter the bandits in the first place, so 10% was already more than enough to restore what he had lost."Not bad."Shu Xiang stood up and looked around at the corpses scattered across the ground, including the body of the woman who had been kidnapped by the bandits earlier."I've witnessed so much death and so much immorality in this world that it seems my sympathy for human life has completely disappeared. Wel
Ch.34 - Hunting Night (2)
After discovering the bandits' location, Shu Xiang quietly approached them before throwing a knife that pierced straight through one of the bandits' heads.When he found another opportunity, he threw two more knives, killing two additional bandits. Only then did he reveal himself, immediately drawing threats from the remaining bandits."Oh, really? Now I'm scared." Shu Xiang spoke with a smile hidden behind his mask. "But unfortunately, I won't be leaving until every one of you is dead.""Then die!"One of the bandits shot forward, swinging his saber.But in that instant, he could no longer see the man's figure."You're too slow."The voice came from behind him.Before he could turn around and attack, he felt something lightly touch his neck.Without even realizing what had happened, his head fell from his shoulders. He was already dead, his eyes blinking once before finally closing, a question left unanswered in his mind.Shu Xiang then shot forward as the bandits shouted and charged
Ch.33 - Hunting Night
Shu Xiang trained the Dawn Wind Sword technique from sunrise until sunset. Even when the sun finally disappeared below the horizon, Shu Xiang did not rest. Instead, he began putting the technique into practice for real—with the purpose of killing people.Shu Xiang quietly slipped out of the Shu Family residence. But this time, he was not hunting the city thugs. He was targeting mountain bandits.Mountain bandits were on a completely different level compared to ordinary city thugs.City thugs usually extorted the common people through threats or beatings, and it was extremely rare for them to actually resort to murder. Mountain bandits, on the other hand, killed their targets in order to seize their possessions.However, mountain bandits also commonly recruited new members from among city thugs. In other words, becoming a city thug was usually the first step toward becoming a mountain bandit.The city thugs of Shu An City were secretly maintained by the Shu Family. They were allowed to
