Fang Zhe’s body vanished from where he stood. Not truly disappearing, but moving at a speed that surpassed human visual reaction. Both men’s eyes widened instantly. “What?!” But they didn’t even have time to turn their heads. A sharp gust of wind had already brushed past the first man’s face. WHOOSH! Fang Zhe had already appeared at his side. His movement was so light, almost soundless. The man only realized it when Fang Zhe’s shadow entered the corner of his vision. “Too fas—” PAK! A palm strike slammed into his wrist. The knife in his hand was instantly knocked away. CLANK! The metal blade spun in the air before falling onto the stone path. But Fang Zhe didn’t stop. His right elbow rose. PAAK! It struck directly beneath the man’s ribs. “UGH—!” The man’s breath was immediately knocked out of him. His body bent forward uncontrollably. But Fang Zhe had already moved again. His leg swept in a half-circle. BAM! The low kick slammed into the man’s knee. CRACK! His leg buckled instantly. He dropped to his knees, face pale. All of it happened in less than two seconds. At the same time— The second man had just turned around, only to see his partner already collapsing. His eyes widened. “So fast!” But he quickly reacted. He swung his knife toward Fang Zhe’s neck. SWISH! Fang Zhe merely tilted his head slightly. The blade passed just centimeters from his face. His cold eyes locked onto the man. Then… His hand moved—extremely fast. GRAB! He caught the man’s wrist. The man tried to pull his knife back. But Fang Zhe’s grip was like an iron clamp. It didn’t budge at all. “What—?!” Fang Zhe twisted his wrist slightly. KRAK! A sharp sound of a joint twisting echoed. “AAARGH!” The knife slipped from the man’s hand. But Fang Zhe wasn’t done. He yanked the man forward. Then— BAM! His head slammed into the man’s face with a powerful headbutt. Blood instantly sprayed from the man’s nose. His body staggered backward. But Fang Zhe stepped forward again. His movements were like a shadow clinging close. His left fist shot forward. THUD! The punch struck the man’s abdomen. The air was forced out of his lungs with a harsh sound. “GHH—!” His body lifted slightly off the ground before dropping to his knees. Meanwhile, the first man—his knee cracked—tried to stand again. He reached for his fallen knife. But when he raised his head— Fang Zhe was already standing in front of him, his foot pressing down on his hand. “You—” KRAAACK! Fang Zhe applied pressure, a sharp sound ringing out clearly. The knife was sent flying again. Then, with a light motion… Fang Zhe’s foot shifted, pressing down on the man’s shoulder. BAM! His body was slammed back onto the ground. Fang Zhe’s foot now pressed firmly on his wrist again. “ARGH!” The man groaned in pain. Meanwhile, his partner—nose bleeding—tried to rise again. He attacked with a desperate punch. WHOOSH! Fang Zhe merely turned his head slightly. Only his hand moved like lightning. GRAB! The man’s fist was caught mid-air. Fang Zhe twisted his body— Then— BAM! He threw the man over his shoulder. The man’s body crashed hard onto the garden grass. Dust and bits of grass scattered instantly. A few seconds later… Both men were already lying on the ground, gasping for breath. They didn’t even seem capable of standing. Meanwhile, Fang Zhe still stood calmly on the stone path. His breathing hadn’t even changed—still steady. The night breeze blew again, gently moving a few strands of his hair. He looked at the two men with a blank expression. Then he walked closer. His steps were relaxed, as if what had just happened was nothing more than a light exercise. He stopped in front of them. “Now,” he said softly. His gaze lowered toward them. “Still want to confirm something?” The two men glanced at each other. Their faces were filled with fear. One of them swallowed hard. “We… were just following orders.” Fang Zhe tilted his head slightly. “Whose orders?” But the man let out a bitter laugh. “You think we’d talk?” Fang Zhe stared at him for a few seconds. Then… He let out a small sigh. “What a pity.” He turned around. As if he had already lost interest. But just before he took a step— A transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of his eyes once again. * [ System Activated ] Target: Two individuals from the Brata family Threat Level: Low More text slowly appeared. [ Target Emotional Analysis ] Fear: 90% Hostility: 18% Killing Intent: 1% The appearance of the panel made Fang Zhe narrow his eyes slightly. Meanwhile, behind him… The two men realized the same thing. The one with the bleeding nose whispered to his partner. “We… we have to report this…” His partner swallowed nervously. “Yeah…” His eyes were still fixed on Fang Zhe’s back. “This man… isn’t normal.” But Fang Zhe, who had already seen their identities through the system panel, smirked faintly. Then he bent down in front of them. “Report? Report to Young Master Brata, you mean?” The two men were instantly shocked. They could only stare at each other, unable to speak. In that silence, one of them finally gathered the courage to speak. “H-how do you know… that we’re sent by Young Master Brata?!” Fang Zhe smirked again. “Earlier today, I did have a conflict with Young Master Brata… but I really didn’t expect him to start investigating me so quickly.” He paused slightly, his gaze turning colder. “What a shame… the ones he sent are just trash like you.” Seeing Fang Zhe standing there, something about his movements suddenly felt familiar. The two of them were about to open their mouths—to shout. But it was already too late. KRAAACK!

The escalating quarrel between Su Yin and Fang Zhe came to a sudden halt. Su Yin, whose fingers were just reaching into her spiritual stone storage pouch, froze in her tracks, while Fang Zhe slowly lowered the hands he had been using to beg for a loan.Both turned their heads simultaneously, staring at the silver-robed youth with narrow eyes in utter bewilderment—as if they had just witnessed a madman suddenly leap into the middle of the street.Even Ling Yin, usually calm and composed, raised an eyebrow, gazing at the shimmering Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stone atop the dingy table with a perplexed expression.The old merchant swallowed hard, his eyes bulging at the Heaven-Grade Stone—a sum capable of purchasing an entire treasure shop in this courtyard. "T-this... a pure Heaven-Grade Stone?! Y-young Master... you are truly throwing this away just for this piece of rusted scrap iron?!"The youth clad in silver-embroidered silk smiled with even greater arrogance. He snapped his jade fan s

"One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones?!"Hearing the absurd figure come out of the old merchant's mouth, Su Yin’s eyes instantly widened. Without wasting a single second, her delicate fingers darted like lightning—ZRAAP!"A-AWWW! Su Yin! It hurts, hey! Let go, let go!" Fang Zhe grimaced, twisting his head frantically to follow the 180-degree turn of Su Yin’s relentless grip on his ear."It hurts, you say?! Where on earth is your brain installed, huh?!" Su Yin raged, her face flushed red with rising anger. Her sharp eyes glared back and forth between the wincing Fang Zhe and the slyly smirking old merchant."I’ve told you over and over that this place is full of cunning scammers! And you... you actually walk up to the dingiest stall to grab a piece of rusted scrap metal that isn't even fit to chop firewood!" Su Yin twisted her grip even tighter."One Thousand Heaven-Grade Spiritual Stones could buy two pure Earth-Grade weapons back at the Sect! Yet you want to hand them over to t

Before Su Yin and Ling Yin could reply, Fang Zhe had already turned around and strolled casually down the airship's stairs. Hands clasped comfortably behind his head, his saunter was so relaxed that one would think the Bao Clan's outer courtyard—currently filled with arrogant geniuses—was nothing more than his own backyard playground."Tsk, that guy truly can't stay still for a single second!" Su Yin grumbled, stomping her foot in annoyance. Nevertheless, she and Ling Yin quickened their pace to follow closely behind him, ensuring he wouldn't get into trouble.The moment he merged with the sea of cultivators along the main avenue paved with white jade tiles, Fang Zhe's eyes lit up. This was his very first time stepping into the bustling center of the Immortal Realm, having previously spent his days only in the relatively isolated environment of the Virgin Valley Sect."Insane... absolutely insane," Fang Zhe muttered, his gaze sweeping over the vendor stalls neatly lined up along the c

The standoff on the airship deck ended in an awkward silence. Under the Sect Master’s stern instruction, the Elder of the Hall of Punishment immediately activated the ship’s propulsion formation to maximum capacity. The protective barrier vibrated violently, cleaving through the sea of clouds at lightning speed and leaving that perilous zone far behind before the Main Leader of the Black-Winged Bandit could even realize the slaughter that had taken place.One Month Later....A month passed without any significant hindrances. Throughout the journey, no other bandits or enemies dared approach the airship of the Virgin Valley Sect. The tense atmosphere aboard the vessel gradually softened, though the minor bickerings between Fang Zhe and Su Yin continued to serve as entertaining diversions for Ling Yin and the elders.Until one bright morning, the thick blanket of clouds ahead slowly parted, revealing a breathtaking vista that made everyone catch their breath."We have arrived..." murmur

The icy aura emanating from the Immortal Snow Soul Ice Sword suddenly peaked to an extreme level. The air surrounding the Sect Master of the Virgin Valley froze like a crystal mirror, right before she swung the Emperor-Grade sword in a remarkably graceful and effortless sweeping motion.SRRRRRSHHH—!It was no ordinary slash, but thousands of icy sword shadows shaped like giant lotus petals blooming in the middle of the sea of clouds. Golden and purple lights intertwined, cleaving through the sky at a speed surpassing the limits of the naked eye."NOOOOO—!"The Bandit Leader and the remnants of his men didn't even have time to flee or beg for mercy. The moment the wave of lotus-ice slashes crossed their bodies, their screams were cut short instantly.In a matter of seconds, the bodies of more than a dozen formidable bandits were chopped into fine ice crystals before completely shattering into glowing dust, swept away by the night wind. Not a single drop of blood remained; not a single

The sea of clouds surrounding the airship suddenly split apart by brute force. Bone-chilling air rushed past as the shadow of a colossal ice palm—the size of a mountain—descended from the highest heavens, pressing down with crushing force!"Madness! Formation! Hold the line together!" shouted the Bandit Leader, his eyes bulging in sheer panic. His confidence shattered into a million pieces in an instant.More than a decade of Five-Star Sky Fighter bandits channeled every drop of their blood-red Qi. Thick threads of crimson energy swirled rapidly, forging a massive blood-skull shield in the air to block the assault from above.Yet, before the absolute power of a King Fighter at her peak, their efforts were nothing more than a spiderweb trying to stop a falling boulder!BOOOMMM—!A violent impact shook the sky. The blood-skull shield held for less than a second before fractures of ice-blue spread across its surface.KRAAAGGH—!With a deafening explosion, the Blood Slaughter Formation th
