Uninvited Guests
“If I’m the one paying, is that not allowed?” Fang An retorted, his voice steady and clear as he stepped forward to stand beside the innkeeper. His eyes met the soldiers’ gaze without flinching, and though he wore simple traveling clothes that looked worn from the journey, there was an air of authority about him that made the burly men pause for a moment.The innkeeper was startled by the offer, his eyes widening in shock. He quickly reached out to grab Fang An’s arm, trying to stop him from getting involved. “Don’t, Sir. Please—you’ve already done enough by staying here. Just let them tear this inn down. I can’t bear the situation in this province anymore—it’s been getting quieter by the day, and I don’t have the strength to fight this anymore.” His voice was heavy with exhaustion and despair, the weight of months of harassment finally taking its toll.Fang An smiled gently at the innkeeper, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “I understand the situation, Uncle. I’ve seen how
Extortion
Sidharta deliberately did not take the two of them straight to the provincial palace, choosing instead to find a place to stay for the night where they could observe the local people’s daily lives without drawing attention. After inquiring with a passerby, he led Fang An and A Long to a modest inn called The Traveler’s Rest, its wooden sign creaking gently in the evening breeze. The inn was clean and well-kept, with a small courtyard where they could stable their horses and a common room filled with the warm glow of oil lamps.Inside their shared room, the three of them took a short rest, easing the stiffness in their muscles after the long journey on horseback. The day had been hot and dusty, and the rough roads of Luman Province had left them weary. Fang An stretched his arms overhead, feeling the tension in his shoulders release, while A Long poured himself a cup of cool water from the jug on the table. Sidharta sat by the window, gazing out at the bustling street below as he massa
The Skull-Headed Figure
Fang An gave a wry smile, shaking his head slightly as he realized his carefully laid plan to bury his foe alive beneath the collapsing hill had failed. The skull-headed figure had emerged from the cave faster than he had anticipated, cutting off his chance to strike at the hill’s foundation.“I just didn’t want to get buried in there myself,” he called out calmly, his voice carrying clearly across the grassy hilltop as dark clouds began to gather overhead. “But if you want to be buried in it, I’ll gladly make that happen for you! Don’t think I’m holding back anymore.”“Damn you! I’ll kill you for this insult!” the black-robed figure snarled, his red eyes blazing with unbridled fury. He launched himself forward in a blur of movement, the sharp tip of his staff aimed at Fang An’s chest in a precise and vicious attack. But once again, the results disappointed him—Fang An shifted aside with effortless grace, his body moving just enough to let the staff pass by harmlessly.“Damn it, he ca
Dark Poison Wave
Fang An gave a wry smile as he recognized the familiar dark energy gathering around his opponent’s staff—he had already guessed that the skull-headed figure’s next technique would surely be laced with lethal poison. The way the black smoke coiled and writhed around the weapon was a telltale sign of the forbidden art he had read about in ancient scrolls: the Dark Poison Wave, a move said to dissolve flesh and bone on contact.The figure suddenly tensed, then launched himself high into the air, his form seeming to stretch against the cavern’s ceiling as he raised the staff above his head. With a guttural roar that echoed like thunder through the stone halls, he slashed downward toward Fang An."Dark Poison Wave!"A thick, billowing cloud of inky black smoke surged forward in a massive arc, rolling across the chamber floor like a living tide as it raced toward Fang An. The fumes carried a sickeningly sweet scent, and where they touched the stone, the surface bubbled and turned dark green
Fang An vs The Hooded Figure
The sound of bone cracking against hardened wood—like a skull being struck hard—ripped through the silent chamber, followed by a guttural scream of agony that echoed off the stone walls. The acolyte Fang An had struck with his hurled branch crumpled to the ground, his body convulsing briefly before falling still.Fang An leapt back in one fluid motion, his feet landing lightly on the stone floor as he retrieved the wooden branch lying just a few steps away. The weapon still held the faint golden glow of his inner energy, its surface as hard as tempered steel. Without pause, he spun toward the three remaining men, who were still stunned by their comrade’s sudden death, and launched his attack.Hyaaa!His battle cry rang out sharp and clear, startling the three acolytes from their daze. Before they could raise their swords or gather their wits, Fang An swung the branch in a wide arc that struck one man squarely on the head."Arghhh!" The scream marking his death tore through the air jus
The Failled Offering
The Dawn of Battle"Find the culprit no matter what, and bring him before me!" shouted the hooded figure, the leader of the cult, his voice booming through the vast chamber with an authority that silenced even the most panicked members. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, and though his face was hidden in shadow, the rage radiating from him was palpable. He had spent months preparing for this day, gathering the purest offerings and ensuring every detail of the ritual was perfect. He could not accept that the sacred sacrifice of a maiden’s blood—meant to awaken the Dark Prince from his slumber—would end in such humiliating failure.Just as the hooded figure barked the final word of his order, the Executioner swayed on his feet for a brief moment before collapsing forward onto the stone table with a heavy thud. A clean, gaping hole had appeared in his forehead, and fresh, dark blood flowed out in thick streams, soaking into the cold stone of the altar where the offering was to t
