2025-09-02 09:03:09Xiao Chen gave a faint smile as his eyes searched for a torch or lantern whose flame could be used to burn the two buildings, their walls made of wooden planks and their roofs of dried pandan leaves.
Remaining cautious, the young man walked toward two torches standing at opposite corners of the yard. The pandan-leaf thatched roofs would serve as an advantage for him to carry out his plan swiftly.In truth, taking two torches at once might arouse suspicion from members of The Demon Sickles Sect who were still awake, but Xiao Chen didn’t care. Even if they became suspicious, it would not be difficult for him to throw the torches in both his hands onto the roofs of the buildings.However, Xiao Chen suddenly had another thought. If he burned the roofs immediately, the sect members inside the buildings might still escape through the doors. Therefore, before setting fire to the roofs, Xiao Chen decided to burn the doors and the surrounding walls. Of course, this

The Broomstick
The terrifying grin on Xiao Chen’s face made the last remaining man collapse into a bow before him. His forehead pressed against the damp floor as sobs of fear spilled from his mouth.“Please spare my life, Warrior. I know nothing of what happened, I was only following along.”Xiao Chen let out a heavy sigh. He gazed at the trembling man whose body shook from his fear of death.“Very well, I’ll spare you. But tell me, where did Fan Yu take my friend?”The man lifted his head, shifting into a kneeling position. Yet he sat in silence, as if lost in confusion, unable to give an answer.Xiao Chen understood the dilemma weighing on him. If he didn’t reveal where Sekar had been taken, his own life would be at risk. But if he did reveal it, he feared Fan Yu, whom he suspected was the leader of this place.“You need not fear Fan Yu. I may not be the God of Death, but I promise you—he will die by my hand! I don’t have much time. Choose now—tell me, or die?”“Y-yes, Warrior. I’ll show you Lord
Numbing Smoke
Xiao Chen sharpened his hearing to catch where those footsteps were going. A few seconds later, the sound of steps disappeared, and silence once again engulfed the room.But what happened next startled Xiao Chen. He saw with his own eyes smoke seeping in through the crack under the door, filling the chamber. The more the smoke spread, the stronger the sweet fragrance became. Xiao Chen’s suspicion grew stronger.“What’s happening to my body?” Xiao Chen muttered in his heart. He felt his body gradually weaken, his vision blur, and a sudden dizziness strike him.On the other side, Sekar, who was asleep, also couldn’t escape the effect. The amount of smoke she inhaled made the beautiful girl faint.Moments later, the door opened from the outside. Three men wearing cloths over their noses and mouths entered the room.“Hahaha, tonight we’ve caught ourselves a special prey,” one of them said while staring at Sekar lying on the bed.“Don’t talk nonsense! We’d better make sure they’re unconsci
The Suspicious Inn
Sekar squinted at the building before her eyes. Two torches flanking the large gate swayed gracefully in the wind like dancers.“Is this really supposed to be an inn?” she asked Xiao Chen softly.“Perhaps it was designed this way to disguise its true purpose. That way, if bandits or the like ever wanted to cause trouble, they might think twice,” Xiao Chen replied. The same doubt lingered in his mind, but he didn’t want to be overly suspicious just yet.Xiao Chen leapt down from his horse and walked toward the gate, which was unguarded from the outside.Before he could knock, he sensed several faint energies behind the gate. He guessed they came from guards stationed for the night. To confirm his suspicion, Xiao Chen rapped several times on the sturdy wooden gate.Moments later, the heavy door creaked open. Two men with swords at their waists glared sharply at Xiao Chen, then shifted their gaze toward Sekar, who still sat atop he
Directions
Sekar nodded at Xiao Chen’s suggestion. A question had briefly crossed her mind about why Xiao Chen didn’t take any treasures from that sect as he had done at the Thousand Ghost Sect, but the beautiful girl brushed aside her thoughts.After they left that place, Xiao Chen invited Sekar to stop by a tavern. Not only did he want to find information about the road leading to Mount Huashan, but the young warrior also wanted to fill his stomach, which was growling with hunger.“Let’s stop there!” said Xiao Chen, directing his gaze toward a small tavern that was still open even though the evening had already fallen. Two horses were tied to wooden posts in front of it.For wanderers like them, taverns or places where people gathered were the best spots to ask for directions when they didn’t know the way. That was exactly what Xiao Chen intended to do.The small tavern on the forest’s edge was quiet, with only two visitors enjoying their meals.
The Cruelty of Xiao Chen
The three warriors who had chosen the dark path as their way of life immediately formed protective energy around their bodies. Each of them also assumed a firm stance, preparing to unleash their strongest techniques.They knew that death could come at any moment if they did not give their utmost resistance against an opponent whose martial skills were individually superior.Seeing Xiao Chen advance, the three refused to stand still and receive his attack passively. They charged forward together, meeting his assault head-on.The death of their companion made them change tactics. They switched to a different formation that prevented Xiao Chen from counterattacking effectively or breaking through their defenses. For a while, their combined strikes worked well enough to suppress him.The relentless, varied attacks from all directions forced Xiao Chen into difficulty. He found it harder to employ the Dominating Wolf Sword Technique. At first, he thought his opponents would rely on the same
The Black Mist Sword
"If you want to live longer, leave this place immediately before I change my mind." Sekar drew her sword, spinning it a few times to intensify the fear in the members of The Demon Sickles Sect who were still surrounding her.Realizing they still had a chance to survive, within seconds, dozens of members of The Demon Sickles Sect ran away from the beautiful young woman. Only two elders of the sect remained."So, the two of you wish to die tonight? Very well, I shall grant your wish!" A mocking smirk lifted the corner of her lips.With one breath, the beautiful young woman dashed forward at great speed, launching an attack.Meanwhile, at another point in the battle, Xiao Chen moved swiftly, dodging the attacks of his four opponents while occasionally counterattacking.Even though his life was constantly threatened by their relentless pressure, the handsome young man still appeared calm."Form the Demon Sickles Vortex Formation!"Sing Kwan shouted an order to his three companions.The fo
