The incarnation of the Sun God rose to his feet. But before he could even catch his breath, a spear slash nearly tore through his body—had he reacted a second too late, it would have been over. Ho Chen used the wall of the chamber as a foothold, launching himself away in a blur, landing near the entrance of the ritual chamber.

“Damn it! How did he manage to dodge that?!” cursed the demon guardian in frustration. No wonder he was angry; just moments ago, the young man had seemed distracted.

Seeing the demon's agitation, Ho Chen seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

But before he did, he caught a glimpse of Fang Yun trying to untie the bindings wrapped around the unconscious girl lying on the stone table. Not far from them stood a man leaning against the wall, clearly too weak to resist or fight back.

The inside of the house trembled again as Ho Chen's attack missed and struck the wall. Cracks began to form where his Thousand Shadow Strike had failed to hit its target.

  • Battle Within the Dimensional Portal

    “You’d better avoid fighting the portal guardians, Ho Chen. Look for the right moment to sneak in. They won’t hesitate to kill,” said Qiang Mo.“Why should there be a fight? Can’t I just walk in?” Ho Chen asked, clearly confused. His expression said it all.“You are not one of them, Ho Chen. No matter how well you disguise yourself, the demon hounds will still detect you,” Qiang Mo explained briefly.“Demon hounds? You’re kidding, Grandpa!” Ho Chen chuckled lightly.“You’re laughing now because you don’t know what the demon realm is really like. Once you’re inside, you’ll encounter many strange things,” Qiang Mo said with slight irritation.“Sorry, Grandpa.” Ho Chen lowered his head apologetically.“It’s alright, Ho Chen. Let this be a lesson. People have different levels of understanding. What you think is right might not be so for someone with a deeper insight—and vice versa.” Qiang Mo smiled as he gently stroked the young man’s hair.“I understand what you’re saying. There’s still

  • the Green Turtle Talisman

    Ho Chen swallowed hard. Although he had never directly encountered the power of the Hell Serpent Demon, the fact that Qiang Mo was this concerned was enough to confirm that the demon’s strength was truly terrifying. “I have to stop it, Grandpa. No matter what it takes, that cursed creature must not rise again.” “There’s one more problem, actually, Ho Chen.” Qiang Mo let out a long sigh. “What now?” Ho Chen asked curiously. “Her Majesty Qiang Hui said your friend has already fallen in love with the demon king’s daughter. And that means your task will be even more difficult, Ho Chen. If your friend refuses to return, then you must kill him,” Qiang Mo replied. It was a heavy truth, but one he had to tell. “Does it really have to go that far, Grandpa?” Ho Chen rubbed his forehead. It was a situation he had never wished to face. Killing Fang Yun would be like killing himself. “If you don’t want to kill him, then you must take him away from that place!” Ho Chen blinked several times.

  • The Worries of Qiang Mo

    "Look, Zuan Lifeng. A new legend in the martial world has emerged. Once his name shines, the three of us will be forgotten even more," said Qiang Mo, the Medicine God."You’re right, Qiang Mo. At first, I thought Ho Chen wouldn’t be able to empty his mind without the help of liquor. But it turns out, he found his own method. His movements even look exactly like someone who's drunk," replied the Drunken God, then took a swig from the small jar at his waist."By the way, how is the Sword God doing? Does he already know about Ho Chen?" he asked."Her Majesty Qiang Hui must have told him long ago, Zuan Lifeng. About one full moon ago, I visited him at Mount Agung in Balidwipa, but he was still in meditation. I think he’ll only end it once Ho Chen finds him," replied Qiang Mo."Alright then, let’s go meet Ho Chen. He deserves our congratulations."Without waiting for a reply, the Drunken God vanished on the spot. Qiang Mo shook his head slowly before disappearing as well.---One day passe

  • Fang Yun’s Fascination

    As a normal young man, Fang Yun was immediately captivated by the beauty of the Demon King's daughter. Her angelic face shattered his assumption that a demon princess must look hideous, like the rest of her kind.His fascination was clear as he kept staring at the princess, who blushed under his gaze. From time to time, their eyes met, and shy smiles were exchanged between them.After the three of them had taken their seats, the female demon who had kidnapped Fang Yun knelt before the Demon King."I have fulfilled Your Majesty’s command. I have brought the human here. It was not easy—he resisted and even attempted to take his own life. But I managed to persuade him."The Demon King glanced at Fang Yun briefly before shifting his gaze to his daughter. A thin smile curved on his lips as he sensed mutual affection between the two."Is it true that you resisted earlier, human?" asked the Demon King."My name is Fang Yun, Your Majesty. What she said is completely untrue. The moment I found

  • Fang Yun’s Fate

    Meanwhile, in the demon realm, Fang Yun was still confused, unable to comprehend where he was. As far as he remembered, he had fallen asleep in an inn room, but when he woke up, he found himself inside a prison cell along with several young men around his age.From the conversations he had with the other prisoners, they also had no idea where they were. Since arriving in the prison, they had not seen a single guard delivering food to them.His wandering thoughts were abruptly interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps. Fang Yun quickly focused his gaze on the iron bars to see who was coming.His heart almost stopped when he saw the innkeeper woman standing in front of the prison accompanied by two tall, muscular guards. Even more shocking, these two guards had the exact same physical appearance as the two demons he had encountered in the old house deep in the forest."Why is that woman with demons? Is she one of them too?" Fang Yu

  • The Drunken God’s Strike

    In his confusion, a voice suddenly startled him — the voice of the Drunken God."Ho Chen, try to attack me!" the Drunken God shouted, urging the young man to strike him."How am I supposed to fight him? He can't even stand properly," Ho Chen thought to himself."Why are you just standing there like a constipated ox? Attack me, you idiot!" barked the Drunken God angrily.Ho Chen grinned like a horse upon hearing the Drunken God insult him so freely. He then took a few steps forward."I'm ready, old man."The Drunken God moved forward in a strange pattern and immediately launched an attack. His fist shot quickly toward Ho Chen's chest.Realizing that the Drunken God's attack was no joke, Ho Chen swiftly sidestepped to avoid it. He then had to duck because the Drunken God's other hand aimed to slash at his neck.While still crouching, Ho Chen spotted an opening created by the Drunken God. Quickly, he atte
