But the old man — the master of Emperor Shie Wan — paid no attention to any of that. All he knew was that the young man before him was the peak of power within the Zhou Dynasty. If Fang Yun could be defeated, then everyone beneath him could be easily subdued.

Zao Ming intensified his assault on Fang Yun. Realizing his opponent’s intent, Fang Yun refused to be forced into the vortex of wind—it would only endanger his soul further.

“Mountain-Crushing Staff!”

Zao Ming leapt high into the air, striking down his black staff with full inner power. Fang Yun didn’t remain still; he lifted his spear above his head to block the attack.

Blaaar!

A tremendous explosion echoed through the battlefield. Thick dust and smoke swirled upward before being sucked into the expanding vortex of wind.

Fang Yun’s feet sank into the ground up to his ankles, while Zao Ming was thrown backward more than thirty steps.

The old man’s hands trembled violently, going numb from the clash. He couldn’t believe the young

  • No Mercy for the Traitor

    The two great energies could not be kept apart any longer and collided in midair. The resulting pressure threw more than a dozen disciples of the Golden Staff Sect several paces back. Not only that, the interior of the sect was shrouded in thick dust and black smoke that obscured vision. Zhao Wen and Fang Yun could only wait anxiously for the smoke and dust to clear. They were clearly worried about the girl’s condition — it was the first time Mei Hwa had fought and released energy of that magnitude. Not wanting to wait too long to confirm Mei Hwa’s condition, Fang Yun swept his hand, sending a gust of wind to dissipate the thick dust. Their anxiety faded when Mei Hwa’s figure appeared standing, the Sky Sword still clutched in her hand. Her face was tense and sweat the size of corn kernels streamed down. Her breathing was rapid and ragged, as if a heavy burden pressed on her chest. Fang Yun and Zhao Wen scanned the surroundings in search of Yao Li, but the bald man was nowhere

  • The Golden Staff Sect II

    Yun Fei, confident that he could defeat Mei Hwa and Zhao Wen, lunged forward with his sword flashing in a blur of silver light. Each strike sought an opening in Mei Hwa’s flawless defense. Zhao Wen, forbidden by Mei Hwa to interfere, stood by and observed, ready to step in if needed. Yet he could clearly see that the graceful girl’s strength far surpassed Yun Fei’s. The tall man’s attacks came fast and fierce, leaving no room for Mei Hwa to counter. It wasn’t that she couldn’t strike back—she simply chose not to. Fang Yun had ordered her to capture Yun Fei alive, and that was proving to be the most difficult part of the task. Mei Hwa danced lightly around each deadly strike, deflecting and dodging while searching for a precise moment to deliver a blow that would disable, not kill. Meanwhile, inside the Golden Staff Sect, Elder Yao Li’s face burned crimson with rage after being humiliated by Fang Yun in front of the other three elders and his disciples. For a man who had lived ove

  • The Golden Staff Sect

    Fang Yun opened his eyes after Xiao Tian’s spirit vanished from his thoughts. Rising to his feet, he stepped out of his room.“Zhao, Mei…” he called softly as he saw Zhao Wen and Mei Hwa walking toward him.“Where are you going?” Zhao Wen asked.“I was about to go look for you two,” Fang Yun replied with a faint smile.“When shall we continue our journey? Have you finished your meditation?”“I have. We’ll leave at dawn tomorrow for the Golden Staff Sect. For tonight, we’ll stay here and rest. Did you bring any food? I’m starving.” Fang Yun placed a hand on his stomach, which had been empty since his full-day meditation.The next morning, the three young warriors rode their horses slowly out of the inn. Once they had left the small town behind, they urged their mounts onward, galloping swiftly in the direction of the Golden Staff Sect.Nearly two days later, under the blazing midday sun, they arrived at the great gates of the sect.Four bald-headed disciples stood guard, eyeing them sh

  • The Earth Dragon’s Wrath

    “Earth Dragon, now it’s time!”Fang Yun shouted after halting the Annihilating Flame Vortex.From within the Flame Dragon Sword, the Earth Dragon emerged, plunging deep into the ground. The beast, master of the earth element, moved beneath the surface, tearing through layers of soil and stone. The land roared as if struck by an enormous quake.Buildings that had barely survived the earlier inferno now collapsed, crushing the remaining soldiers who had escaped the pull of the vortex, burying them alive beneath the earth.Massive cracks split open across the fortress grounds, swallowing everything that stood above them.Fang Yun fought to maintain his stance, his body trembling as his inner energy drained away. He had not anticipated that wielding multiple elements at once would consume so much of his life force.The Earth Dragon rampaged endlessly, overturning the ground with relentless fury. The cracks widened; the soil twisted and rose at will. None of the enemy troops could have sur

  • The Annihilating Fire Vortex

    “Why must we unite? I have no intention of sharing power with him. I can burn all the enemy troops with ease by myself,” Qiang Mo snapped furiously.“Who wants to join you, ugly demon? Don’t think you’re the only one who can kill them easily. I could overturn the earth and bury them alive without lifting a finger!” the Earth Dragon retorted, unwilling to be outdone.“Filthy dragon, you’d better just go back to sleep. Your power is nothing compared to mine!”“Water-fearing demon, don’t test me! Do you want me to drench you in water?”Fang Yun could only rub his forehead in exasperation, watching the two spirits quarrel endlessly. Neither wanted to back down, each determined to prove themselves the stronger of the pair.“Can’t you two stop fighting and work together to help me?” Fang Yun asked, sighing.“No!” Qiang Mo and the Earth Dragon shouted in unison.“There, you see? That’s proof you can act together!” Fang Yun said dryly.“I still refuse to unite with that scaly dragon!” Qiang M

  • Result of the Meeting at the Shadow Spear Sect

    Wan Fenli hurried back into her Sect, worried for the safety of her disciples. But her fears proved unfounded — her students continued their training as usual.She saw Fang Yun, Mei Hwa, and Zhao Wen joking in front of Fang Fenli’s hut. The woman, who still looked young despite being over two hundred years old, quickly approached the three of them.The disciples who were training snapped to attention the moment they saw their master return. Lin Yin, who had also noticed Wan Fenli’s arrival, ordered them to carry on with their practice, then walked straight to her teacher’s hut to report the attack carried out by the Single Sword Sect.“Why is there so much blood outside? Was there a fight here yesterday?” Wan Fenli asked, curious.“Yes, Master. Yesterday Elder Feng Yin and his disciples came looking for you and a battle broke out.” Lin Yin replied.Before Lin Yin could finish, Wan Fenli burst into fury. “Today the five of us will go there! We will scorch the Single Sword Sect to ashes
