88. Darkness Sword
“Tian Kui… where have you been all this time?” Wu Tian’s voice carried both relief and accusation, his eyes shadowed with exhaustion. The air around them was heavy, tinged with the metallic scent of blood and the acrid smoke of battles past. The faint hum of lingering qi vibrated through the ground, and the evening light cast long shadows across the ruined stones of Shang Ying’s outskirts. The silence was broken only by the distant cries of merchants and the faint clatter of hooves on cobblestone, a reminder that life continued even as war brewed beneath its surface. “There were complications inside the pocket world,” Tian Kui replied, his voice deep and steady, though his scales glimmered faintly with fatigue. “Tell me, Wu Tian—where is Wu Xiang? Why are you not with him?” Wu Tian’s expression darkened, his fists clenched. “Wu Xiang has changed, Tian Kui. He has become the Martial Demon. You never appeared to stop it! And worse, I barely remember you at all while you were trapp
87. The Power of Darkness Qi
“Go back! I have no quarrel with dragon fairies or dragons!” Darkness Qi’s voice thundered through the clearing as Tian Kui and Angel broke through the suffocating black mist, their path carved open by the radiant strike of the Spirit Beast Unicorn. The valley trembled with the echo of his words. The air was thick, heavy with the acrid scent of scorched shadow, and the ground beneath their claws pulsed faintly as if alive with corrupted energy. The mist clung to their scales like damp silk, whispering with voices that were not their own. Every flicker of light from the unicorn’s aura revealed jagged stone walls streaked with veins of black crystal, glowing faintly like embers of a dying fire. “I must stop you, Darkness Qi!” Tian Kui’s roar shook the valley, his obsidian scales gleaming in the dim glow. “You cannot escape into the outer world!” Darkness Qi’s form shimmered, a swirling mass of shadow and flame. His voice carried both fury and despair. “It is not your concern, drag
86. Valley of Shadows
The tireless search of the dragon Tian Kui was not in vain. At last, they reached the valley believed to be the hidden lair of Darkness Qi. *****The valley stretched before them like a wound carved into the earth, its cliffs jagged and steep, cloaked in a suffocating mist that shimmered with a sinister black aura. The air was heavy, thick with the scent of damp stone and rotting foliage. Every breath carried a metallic tang, as though the valley itself bled shadows. The silence was broken only by the faint rustle of unseen wings and the distant echo of dripping water, each sound magnified in the oppressive stillness. The ground beneath their claws was cold and slick, the texture of moss clinging like a warning. “This place is perilous, Tian Kui! Evil lurks in every corner!” cried Angel, her voice trembling with urgency. “We must be vigilant, not a single moment of carelessness allowed!” Tian Kui’s eyes narrowed, the gleam of obsidian scales reflecting the dim light. “I feel t
85. Where Lies the Hidden Valley?
The Darkness Qi that Tian Kui the Dragon sought was no ordinary energy—it was alive, a breathing entity, a sphere of black smoke that pulsed like a heart. Ages ago, the first cultivator had shaped it from the shadows within his own body, forging it into an eternal reservoir so that qi would never vanish from the world. Unlike the fleeting currents of ordinary qi, this Darkness Qi endured—unyielding, eternal, and dangerous. In forgotten times, qi was scarce across the universe. The Middle World and Lower World lay barren, while only the Upper World and the Celestial Realm thrived. The gods of heaven turned their gaze upward, ignoring the suffering below. In the Upper World, cultivators grew cruel, lording over mortals with arrogance, feeding upon the abundance of qi that sustained both gods and warriors. The lesser realms starved, their people left to languish in silence. It was said that the enchanted pouch itself had been crafted by that first cultivator, a vessel to contain the
84. The Qi of Darkness
What had truly become of Tian Kui the Dragon, the Angel of Death, and Ashura within the enchanted pouch-world of Wu Tian, that they did not emerge to aid him when he lay on the brink of death against the Demon Wu Xiang? After escorting Wu Tian and Wu Xiang back to Lo Han Village from Lo Han Island, Tian Kui and the Angel of Death had chosen to rest deeply within the confines of Wu Tian’s magical pouch. “Do not grieve the desert dragon’s departure, Angel. We cannot dictate the path it chose, for its road was perilous,” Tian Kui said, his voice calm, resonant like the rumble of distant thunder. “I know, Tian Kui. The desert dragon’s hatred for mankind runs deep. I cannot fathom what humans did to earn such wrath,” the Angel of Death replied, his tone heavy with sorrow. “Wu Tian is not like the humans the desert dragon despised. He has shown me kindness,” Tian Kui answered firmly, his eyes glowing faintly in the dim light of the pouch-world. “And what of Wu Xiang? Is he as noble
83. Wu Tian in Darkness
Wu Tian awoke the next morning as the golden rays of dawn spilled across his face, warming his skin and stirring him from a heavy slumber. “Where am I? The last thing I remember was resting at the inn in Shang Ying City’s bustling center. Why am I lying here in this secluded lodge?” he wondered silently, his mind clouded with confusion. “You’re awake, Brother Tian?” Lin Wei’s voice broke the silence as he entered, carrying a tray of steaming food. “Brother Wei, where are we? Why are we here now?” Wu Tian asked, his tone sharp with bewilderment. “Eat first. I’ll explain afterward,” Lin Wei replied, setting the tray down with a calm smile. Wu Tian’s memory was fractured. He recalled nothing of his encounter with the Flower-Demon Mei Ying. All that lingered was the faint recollection of resting at the inn in Shang Ying City. “This place is beautiful, Brother Wei. Since when did you have such a retreat?” Wu Tian asked, his eyes roaming over the rustic lodge. The wooden beams g
