Every time he took a breath, a pain as sharp as a blade tore through his left chest. Two of his ribs were definitely cracked, pressing against his lungs from the impact of the Qi wave just now. The slash wounds on

Chapter 14: The Demon Emperor's Art of Survival
SHCK!The sickening sound of thick metal tearing through flesh and shattering bone broke the silence of the border outpost. Advisor Zhao's giant sword, coated in pure blue Qi energy, pierced right through the skinny body with destructive force capable of crushing solid rock.Fresh blood sprayed violently into the air, splattering over Advisor Zhao's face and bear leather armor."Die...!" Zhao's maniacal laugh echoed, but it suddenly choked in his throat.Zhao's eyes widened. He felt something was wrong with his sword's penetration. His hit didn't strike the vital organ he was aiming for.In the fraction of a millisecond before the sword blade could shred his heart, Xiao Chen pivoted on his foot. His Demon Emperor brain calculated the exact trajectory angle and wind speed with an accuracy far beyond mortal reasoning. He intentionally shifted his body two inches to the right.<
Chapter 13: An Uneven Fight
Dust mixed with wood splinters and torn tent fabric slowly settled to the ground. In the middle of the night's silence that suddenly felt suffocating, Xiao Chen coughed hard. A thick glob of blood sprayed from his mouth, soaking the sand and gravel beneath him.Every time he took a breath, a pain as sharp as a blade tore through his left chest. Two of his ribs were definitely cracked, pressing against his lungs from the impact of the Qi wave just now. The slash wounds on his left shoulder and right thigh that he had bandaged were now blown wide open. The makeshift bandages were drenched in fresh blood pouring out, mixing with the dirty mud covering his entire body.His Dantian, which was only at the 1st-Class Warrior stage, was bone dry. Without a single drop of Qi to protect his internal organs, this mortal body was nothing more than a lump of meat waiting to be minced.From behind the smoke and the remains of the split
Chapter 12: Shadow of Death at the Border Outpost
"Pour me some more liquor!"A raspy, heavy voice echoed from inside the main command tent of the Northern Border Outpost. Advisor Zhao sat cross-legged on a bear-fur rug, his face flushed from alcohol and overflowing arrogance. In front of him, two wooden chests sat wide open, showing off piles of gold bars reflecting the light from the torches surrounding the tent.A dense blue Qi aura, the absolute mark of a Peak 3rd-Class Warrior, rippled softly around his massive body, making the air inside the tent feel warm and oppressive."Gou Yan and his tracking squad haven't returned yet, Sir. Should we send people after them?" asked a mercenary captain standing in the corner of the tent, bowing his head deeply."What for?" Zhao scoffed, downing the liquor from his bronze cup until it dripped down his beard. "Gou Yan is my best bloodhound. That spoiled Lady Lin and her crippled guard must have bled out in t
Chapter 11: Torture from Hell and a Demon's Name
A shrill, hoarse scream tore through the silence of the cold canyon. The sound was so horrifying, it sounded like human vocal cords being forcibly stretched to their breaking point. Behind a dark crevice in the cliff, Lin Xuanyin sat hugging her knees, her hands pressed tightly over Lin Tian's ears, while she herself squeezed her eyes shut, trembling violently.In the middle of a pool of blood and the corpses of the tracking squad, Xiao Chen knelt beside Gou Yan, whose legs had been crushed by a rock.The servant-clothed young man wasn't cutting off fingers or skinning the executioner like some low-level torturer. Instead, the two blood-covered fingers of Xiao Chen's left hand were pressing precisely on three acupuncture points centered on Gou Yan's neck and spine.It was the Hell's Reversal Nerve Lock, a basic torture technique from the Holy Realm that relied purely on mortal anatomical precision. By pressing certain nerve clusters, Xiao Chen blocked the pain-relieving hormones in th
Chapter 10: The Illusion Array
Lin Tian's small knees slammed hard onto the rocky ground. The skin of his palms was torn by sharp gravel, drawing fresh blood. The pain was instantly drowned out by a wave of absolute terror that froze his blood as he looked up.Outside the canyon entrance, the eyes of Gou Yan, the leader of the tracking squad, smiled with satisfaction as he saw the boy's figure sprawled in the pale moonlight. The caution he had maintained was shattered by the temptation of an invaluable prize. That was the sole heir of the Lin Family. The boy's head was worth a general's position in Advisor Zhao's army."Hahaha! Heaven is truly blessing me tonight!" Gou Yan laughed hoarsely. "Don't let him get away! Take his head!"Ignoring all his instincts, Gou Yan shot forward into the canyon, followed by his six subordinates. The speed of a Grade 2 Warrior allowed them to cross the fifteen-foot distance in a single breath. The large sword in Gou Yan's hand was raised high, reflecting a deadly gleam, ready to spl
Chapter 9: The Illusion Master's Blood Formation
A damp fern leaf trembled slightly. A black shadow crouched on it without breaking the smallest twig. A hand in a leather glove touched a drop of dark black blood that hadn't completely dried on the leaf.The man brought his finger to his nose, sniffing the metallic scent mixed with a foul odor. His scarred eyes narrowed sharply."Death Root Poison," the man muttered. His voice was as hoarse as scraping metal. He was Gou Yan, Advisor Zhao's trusted executioner. Behind him, six men dressed in black landed silently, like a flock of carrion crows. "Lei Tie's blood. They passed through here less than half an hour ago. The old dog is on his last legs."Gou Yan stood up. A thin layer of internal Qi flowed through his leg muscles, making his burly body as light as a feather. "Move out. Don't let our prey find a place to hide. Bring me the heads of those Lin children tonight!"The seven shadows shot through the forest canopy. Their movements radiated the deadly efficiency of Grade 2 Warriors.
