Life or Death
Zhao Wen could taste the saltiness of his own blood. He then rose to his feet and drew the Demonic Jade Sword from its sheath. "You've forced me to use this sword, old men," Zhao Wen sneered while staring coldly at the two elders of the Red Lion Sect standing not far from him. A greenish light radiated instantly from the blade of the Demonic Jade Sword in Zhao Wen’s hand. The two elders took a step back and drew their own swords. Although they had never witnessed the full power of the Demonic Jade Sword firsthand, they dared not underestimate it. Their leader’s obsession with possessing the jade blade alone was enough proof of its terrifying might. "You still won’t win, even with that sacred sword, boy," one of the elders said, trying to shake Zhao Wen’s confidence. "Just hand it over! We promise not to kill you," said the other elder. Zhao Wen smirked. “Why are you two suddenly so talkative, old men? If you want this sword, then come and take it!” “We’ve tasted more of the mar
Zhao Wen vs. Two Elders
The two elders of the Red Lion Sect, still stunned by the fight between Han Rong and the young man, were shocked by the sudden roar of their leader. They nodded, then lunged forward to attack Zhao Wen.Zhao Wen didn’t remain idle. He dashed forward to meet the simultaneous attacks of the two elders. Since training on Mount Tai, his abilities had improved significantly. He was able to match the elders' attacks, despite their superior experience.The one-against-two battle moved at blinding speed. Although not as fast as the duel between Fang Yun and Han Rong, the movement of all three was too swift to be clearly followed by several spies who remained at their post.Zhao Wen kept moving, relying on his speed to attack. Using techniques he had learned from the Golden Palm Sect, Zhao Wen was even able to pressure the two elders."You're not bad, young man. You can keep up with the two of us," said one of the elders after all three of them were thrown back by the clash of internal energy.
Fierce Battle
"Yes, Auntie. We happened to arrive here just before nightfall," Fang Yun replied, his eyes scanning the room, observing each of the visitors inside the eatery and inn."You’re lucky to have made it here before dark." The woman smiled meaningfully."Why is that, Auntie?""If you had insisted on continuing your journey earlier, you would’ve ended up stuck in the forest at night. There are no villages ahead. Also, it’s common for bandits to strike anyone caught in the woods after dark," the middle-aged woman said while preparing food for the two of them."The locals around here already know that and always avoid the forest at night," she continued."Ooh… so that’s how it is. That means the bandits have been operating in that forest for quite a while, Auntie?""Not too long, probably just this past year," the woman replied, handing over the dishes ordered by Fang Yun and Zhao Wen. "Please eat while it’s still warm. It won’t taste as good once it’s cold," she added kindly.Fang Yun and Zh
Vengeance
Meanwhile, two men arrived at the gate of the Red Lion Sect after nearly a full day and night of travel with only brief stops to rest their horses. Despite their exhaustion, they proceeded straight to the main hall to report the information they had gathered."Reporting, Master. Yesterday we were tailing two young men, one of whom carried a green-colored sword.""Are you sure of what you saw?" asked Han Rong, frowning."Yes, Master. In fact, when we returned to the sect, eight of our comrades happened to rest at the same inn as those two young men."Han Rong weighed his decision carefully. He did not want to act recklessly, especially since these two youths had already slain Tang Fei, indicating they were not to be underestimated."Is there any additional information?"The spy nodded. "Judging by the direction they were headed, it’s likely they’ll pass through Mount Huangshan, Master.""It’s hard to say for sure. Very well, we’ll descend the mountain this afternoon. It's been a while
Stalker
"Yes, Your Majesty. Zhan Zi is the one who took us in when we were homeless. He’s also the one who’s been feeding us all this time. If it weren’t for him, the four of us would’ve probably died on the streets," Liu Lan replied."Why didn’t you ask the citizens or the royal officials for help? Why resort to stealing?""Forgive me, Your Majesty. What official ever cared about us? They are busy living in luxury off the kingdom's wealth. And the wealthy, like him, have no compassion for people like us," Zhan Zi answered while pointing at Xiang Qin, whose face turned pale with fear. "Luckily, Brother Fang Yun and Brother Zhao Wen came to help us. Thanks to them, we got to eat food we could never even dream of."Emperor Li Wei was moved by Zhan Zi’s words. He then looked toward Fang Yun and Zhao Wen."Are you two from this capital city?""No, Your Majesty. We come from the peak of Mount Tianmen," Zhao Wen replied.The Emperor squinted slightly. "The peak of Mount Tianmen? Do you know Zhao Ji
Court and Justice
Fang Yun and Zhao Wen exchanged glances when they heard the commotion outside the house. The five young children immediately huddled together in fear.“Zhan Zi, any idea who they might be?” Fang Yun asked.“I don’t know, Brother. But they don’t seem to be here with good intentions.”“Don’t be afraid. Let’s go outside. I’ll deal with them,” said Zhao Wen firmly.Fang Yun and Zhao Wen stood up, followed by the five children. Together, they walked out of the house.In front of the house, about thirty soldiers stood wearing menacing expressions. Among them was the muscular man who had tried to hit Zhan Zi the day before, standing beside a man dressed in the attire of a royal official.“That’s them, Master Chong Ying. Those two are the leaders of the little pickpockets,” said the muscular man, trying to provoke the royal officer beside him.“Is it true that you two are leading the young pickpockets?” asked Chong Ying, a man with a calm yet authoritative face.“On what basis are you asking
