After shouting a curse, Qiang Mo realized he was utterly powerless. Aside from his transformation into a statue-like form, he had no other abilities left.

It was the transformation process—from a demon to a complete human—that had temporarily stripped him of his powers. And if the ritual of the Sacred Virgin's blood sacrifice, which was supposed to reach its climax under tonight's full moon, could be completed successfully, then there would be nothing more to worry about. No matter how powerful a human warrior might be, none would be able—or even possible—to stand against him.

Qiang Mo’s eyes stared blankly at the open door. He could see the battle raging outside, and it dashed what little hope he had of surviving. For only the two guardian demons could protect him and secure the success of the final ritual.

“Damn it. I should’ve accepted the king’s offer back then,” he muttered regretfully in his heart.

Yes. Twelve moons ago, when Qiang Mo declared his desire to become human before t

    The three warriors appeared swiftly within a dense forest near the capital. Yet, Ranu hesitated, aware that the scar on his face might draw unwanted attention. There was a real risk that a soldier—or worse, someone from the imperial palace—might recognize him. And it wasn’t impossible that Qiang Mo had already described his features to Zi Yan.“It’s best if the two of you head into the capital first,” said Ranu calmly. “Find the nearest inn to the palace, rent two rooms, and then Elder Bai can return here to fetch me. I’ll wait by the roadside.”“Why don’t we just go together, Prince?” Mu Bai asked curiously. “I mean, couldn’t we simply vanish and reappear inside the capital?” With his level of cultivation, it would have been effortless for the Emperor’s brother-in-law to do so.Ranu smiled faintly, pointing at the scar running across his cheek. “That’s the reason, Elder. The demon that followed Zi Yan once confronted me—it must have recognized my face and reported it to her. If we su

    No wonder I could never grasp the limits of his strength. Turns out, he…” Wei Ho’s words were cut short when a soldier entered the tent.“Forgive me, Prince. I came to report. A hundred meters from here, there is a group led by Lady Mei Hwa and Master Ranu,” the soldier reported.“Very well, soldier. You may leave,” Prince Xiao Yu replied.“Is that what Ranu meant earlier as his task from Dewangga?” Wan Fenli asked softly.“Perhaps, Elder. Ranu didn’t say exactly what task he was carrying out,” Mahesa answered.“I will step outside first, Elders.” Prince Xiao Yu rose to his feet and walked out of the tent to see whom Ranu and Mei Hwa had brought.Wan Fenli and Mahesa followed. They too were curious about what mission Ranu had just completed.The group led by the pair of warriors entered the camp near the cave, where Prince Xiao Yu’s forces were gathered.The soldiers who saw Ranu and Mei Hwa’s arrival lowered th

  • Please, Forgive me

    Inside his chamber, Emperor Yan Yuan—who had struggled for several nights to close his eyes—was startled when the door to his chamber was knocked from the outside.Emperor Yan Yuan walked over and opened the door. His brow furrowed deeply upon seeing Liu Zun standing there in full battle armor, weapon at his side.“What is it, General? Is there important news that brings you here at such an hour?”“Very important, Your Majesty,” Liu Zun replied.“Come in, we shall speak inside.” Emperor Yan Yuan turned back into his chamber, and Liu Zun followed closely behind.“Now tell me, what important information have you received?” asked Emperor Yan Yuan after sitting on his special chair. His gaze reflected bewilderment at Liu Zun’s appearance, as though already prepared for war.“Then why are you wearing full armor like that?”“Forgive me, Your Majesty. The information I received from the scouts says that the enemy’s forces are a

    Seeing Mahesa and Wang Dong riding their horses toward his entourage, Prince Xiao Yu smiled broadly. He raised his right hand high, signaling his troops to halt.“Your humble servant greets you, Prince.” Wang Dong bowed his head respectfully after the two of them arrived before Prince Xiao Yu’s group.“Wang, where are the others? Why are you only the two of you?” Jian Kun asked.“The Princess and the others are waiting over there, Sir,” Wang Dong replied, pointing toward the cave.“Why didn’t they wait at the crossroads?” This time it was Prince Xiao Yu who asked.“The risk is too great if we gather at the crossroads, Prince. Let us go meet the others,” Wang Dong answered.Prince Xiao Yu nodded and signaled his entourage to move forward again.Meanwhile, Ranu, who had already mastered the Mist Illusion Technique, was now considering combining it with the Phantom Body Technique.Hao Zun, Wan Fenli, and Mei H

    Although he could do something similar to what Hao Zun had done, Ranu used a different method. He sped forward using two light-body techniques he had mastered, while Hao Zun truly vanished and reappeared in an instant. The strongest warrior in the land of Jawadwipa was certain of this because when he had fought Hao Li, he had already used the Divine Eye technique and still hadn’t seen Hao Li move or run.“I can heal you and set you free, but on one condition—do not support Emperor Yan Yuan. In addition, teach me the technique you just used to disappear. How about it?” Ranu asked as he crouched beside Hao Zun.“At the very least, you still have a chance to live and atone for the mistakes you’ve made,” Ranu continued, trying to sway Hao Zun’s mind.Hao Li’s twin brother remained silent, weighing the young man’s offer. The single powerful word please from Ranu had caught him off guard. Rarely would a warrior utter such a word toward an opponent.

    Wan Fenli quickly left after Ranu finished speaking. The female warrior, who was also the leader of the Sky Sword Sect, darted into the darkness of the night, disappearing through the lush trees of the forest.“Mei, you should sleep first. I’ll keep watch tonight!”Mei Hwa shook her head. She couldn’t allow the young man to stay awake while she slept soundly.“Mei,” Ranu called softly, “if both of us don’t sleep tonight, then who will stand guard tomorrow?”“What dream did I just have? Ranu never calls me with such gentleness,” Mei Hwa thought to herself.“Why are you silent and not answering my question?”Startled from her thoughts, Mei Hwa stammered, “Ah… yes. I’ll sleep first, then tomorrow I’ll take the watch while you rest,” she replied.The beautiful girl lay down on the green grass beneath a large tree. Beside her, Ranu sat cross-legged, trying to ease the lingering pain in his arm.The night passed in pe
