2025-02-23 00:47:47"Move aside, loser!" barked a tall, burly young man.
He was Yung Fei, the son of the village chief and the heir to a martial arts school. Standing on either side of him, three young men his age grinned wickedly, clearly enjoying what their friend was about to do.
Without warning, Yung Fei launched a powerful kick straight into the young man's stomach.
Li Jie Soka Witjaksana, the unfortunate recipient of the kick, was sent stumbling several steps backward until he crashed into a vendor’s stall that had been closed for the day. The wooden stall collapsed under his weight, its fragile structure breaking apart from the impact.
"Pick that loser up! I'm not done with him yet!" Yung Fei ordered.
His three friends immediately rushed forward, grabbing Li Jie, who was still curled up on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain. His ribs ached terribly from the direct hit to his solar plexus.
Two of Yung Fei’s friends each held one of Li Jie’s arms, while the third grabbed his head, preventing him from moving.
"Li Jie Soka Witjaksana... What a fancy name for a beggar like you!" Yung Fei sneered, curling one side of his lip in contempt. "I've told you so many times—losers like you don’t belong here. You're nothing but filth in this village!"
Bugh!
Another brutal punch landed in Li Jie’s stomach. His arms, still restrained, rendered him defenseless. He had no choice but to endure the pain as Yung Fei struck him again.
"What have I ever done to you, Yung Fei? Every time you see me, you just want to beat me up," Li Jie asked weakly. The metallic taste of blood seeped into his mouth as a trickle of it dripped from the corner of his lips.
"Hahaha... What a pathetic loser! You're nothing but a piece of trash. How many times do I have to tell you? If you don’t want to be my punching bag, get out of this village!" Yung Fei shouted.
Another punch struck Li Jie, this time aimed at his face. Blood spilled from his lips as the impact tore the skin. Despite the searing pain, not a single groan of agony escaped his lips. He was used to pain—he had lived with it ever since his parents passed away.
Slowly, he lifted his bloodied face, locking eyes with Yung Fei in silent defiance.
His reaction only fueled Yung Fei’s fury. His anger boiled over.
"How dare you look at me like that? Have you forgotten who I am?"
To Yung Fei’s surprise, Li Jie let out a dry laugh. "Everyone in this village knows exactly who you are—the arrogant son of the village chief with no manners whatsoever!" he retorted firmly.
"You bastard! The three of you, beat him until he can’t move! Kill him if you have to!" Yung Fei roared.
"Kill him?" one of his friends hesitated.
"Don’t be scared. My father is the village chief! If he dies, no one will dare to come after us. He’s just a worthless loser who does nothing but taint this village!"
Emboldened by Yung Fei’s words, his three friends let go of Li Jie and began attacking him mercilessly. Punches and kicks rained down on him until the young man with the strong jawline could no longer move.
One of them picked up a wooden stool, preparing to smash it over Li Jie’s head, but suddenly, Yung Fei stopped him. He had changed his mind.
"Enough, enough! If he dies, we won’t have anyone left to beat up. When the stall owner sees his shop destroyed, he’ll assume this loser is responsible and beat him up anyway. Let’s go before anyone sees us!"
Laughing, the four young men walked away, leaving Li Jie unconscious on the ground. They seemed pleased, having once again made him suffer.
The next morning, Li Jie regained consciousness after a sudden splash of cold water hit his face. A moment later, a brutal kick struck his stomach.
Bugh!
His body curled in pain. He hadn’t expected his suffering to continue even after Yung Fei and his gang had finished with him.
Turning his head slightly, he saw the stall owner standing over him with his arms crossed, his face twisted in anger.
"You! You’re the one who destroyed my stall, weren’t you? Or were you trying to rob it?" the burly man shouted.
"It wasn’t me, Uncle… It was Yung Fei and his friends," Li Jie protested weakly, his voice barely above a whisper due to the pain coursing through his body.
"You dare accuse the village chief’s son? The only person I see here is you, you filthy thief!" The man continued to berate him, even though deep down, he knew the truth—he had seen Yung Fei and his gang beating Li Jie and wrecking his stall. But he needed someone to blame, someone to take his anger out on.
"Who are you calling a thief, Uncle?"
"Who else but you? Let me remind you—your parents were executed by the villagers because they were proven guilty of stealing from them. And like father, like son. A thief will always be a thief!"
Li Jie froze, the man’s words piercing his mind like daggers. Questions flooded his thoughts. Why were my parents accused of stealing? Were they really thieves, just as everyone claims?
Summoning what little strength he had left, Li Jie stood up and glared at the man. "My parents were not thieves!" he shouted defiantly.
"What do you know about them, you thief’s brat? You were just a child back then. And now, I’m going to teach you a lesson for trying to steal from my stall!"
The man suddenly swung his fist toward Li Jie’s head. But in an instant, Li Jie’s hand shot up, catching the incoming strike with surprising speed and strength.
The stall owner’s eyes widened in shock. His fury intensified—he felt humiliated, especially since a few villagers had witnessed Li Jie blocking his attack so effortlessly.
With his superior strength, the man managed to wrench his hand free and launched another punch.
This time, his fist landed squarely on Li Jie’s chest, forcing him to cough up fresh blood. His body, already battered from Yung Fei’s beatings, had now taken yet another brutal blow. His suffering was now complete.
The stall owner laughed in satisfaction, pleased with himself for making Li Jie spit blood.
Sensing an opportunity to escape, Li Jie suddenly turned and sprinted away without looking back.
But his actions only enraged the man further. He began shouting at the top of his lungs while chasing after him.
"Thief! Catch that thief!"

"I will tell you later after you finish training and are ready to restore your parents’ good name," said Song Rui.Although disappointment filled his heart because he still didn’t know who had slandered his parents, Li Jie did not make a fuss about it. He thought there were both positive and negative sides to learning the truth later rather than now."Alright, Grandpa. I’m ready to train now. It's better that I don't know about it yet, as it could disrupt my training," the young man replied calmly.Song Rui was slightly surprised by the drastic change in Li Jie's attitude. The once hot-tempered young man had suddenly become so composed."This young man has two contrasting personalities. He will be terrifying if he cannot control himself," he thought."Grandpa, what's wrong?"Song Rui smiled and shook his head slightly. "Li Jie... before I teach you some martial arts techniques, it's best if you listen to my words first," he said, taking a deep breath."Whatever you do, use your common

Li Jie widened his eyes as he unwrapped the long cloth bundle, revealing a sword inside. "Isn't this my father's sword?""You’re right. Grandfather took it from your house after he learned that both of your parents had passed away. Now, go and finish what you must. After that, return here! There is something important I need to tell you before we part ways for good."Li Jie fell silent upon hearing Song Rui’s words. He didn’t want to part with the old man, but there must be something crucial his teacher wanted to tell him, something that made their separation necessary."Meet Mo Yan when you reach the village. He will tell you who framed your parents.""But, Grandfather… won’t he report my presence to the villagers?""Why should you be afraid? Haven't you honed your skills by now? Just tell Qian Li that I sent you to see him," Song Rui replied.Li Jie nodded. Then, he stepped out of the small hut and ran toward the village.By the time night had replaced day, Li Jie had arrived at the

"Hahahaha... Friends, this brat dares to threaten to kill us? Could it be that getting beaten up by the villagers a year ago made his brain shift out of place?" mocked the guard, his words immediately met with laughter from his companions."He still can't even pee straight, yet he dares to act tough in front of us! Filthy thief's child!" another chimed in."It seems you can't be given any mercy!"

Upon arriving in front of the village head Cheng Xi’s house, which also served as a martial arts school, six gate guards immediately drew their swords upon seeing Qian Li arriving with a young man ready to take the life of the wealthy merchant. They knew that Qian Li was the close friend of Cheng Xi, who was also their teacher, and they felt it was their duty to help him."Release Merchant Qian Li if you don't want us to behead you!" one of them shouted.Li Jie smirked cynically at the low-skilled gate guards who dared to threaten him."I'll release this man if you call that despicable village head here!""Watch your mouth, scum! Our master is not worthy of meeting the likes of you!" the guard retorted."That's true... That vile man is not worthy of meeting me. His heart and actions are rotten."The gate guards could not accept the insult from Li Jie. They immediately moved forward, but Li jie pressed the blade he was holding against Qian Li’s neck.

The wealthy landlord of the village finally met his end on the spot, his head severed from his body.Seeing that Li Jie could effortlessly dodge his father’s attack, Yung Fei immediately lunged at the handsome young man, gripping the sword tightly in his hand. Even though he hadn't seen Li Jie for over a year, Yung Fei still believed that the young man he used to beat up with ease would be just as easy to defeat now.However, his confidence was completely misplaced. Not a single one of his attacks managed to land on Li Jie."There’s something you need to understand, Yung Fei. You’re nothing but a weakling who relies solely on your father’s power. But today, I will make your father suffer by watching you die!" Li Jie parried Yung Fei’s strike with such force that the young man's sword was knocked from his grip.Yung Fei let out a loud cry, clutching his right wrist in pain. Even after losing his sword, the shock still reverberated through his arm. He couldn't believe it—after just one

Thick smoke filled the battlefield as their relentless strikes collided again and again.The spectators instinctively retreated further, unwilling to risk being caught in the devastating battle. All they could see now was a thick cloud of dust obscuring the two warriors.As the fight dragged on, Cheng Xi began to falter.

THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR The Revelation of a Great Secret
'My grandson, Li Jie, by the time you read this letter, I may already be in a faraway place. I apologize for not being able to bid you farewell in person. Perhaps this is the only way I can ease the pain of parting with you.Li Jie, there is a great secret you must know. Ever since your parents passed away, I have been watching over your life. You may not have realized it, but I have observed your growth every day until the moment I finally saved you."The handsome young man paused as he read the letter in his hands. His mind drifted back to the days when he had to survive on his own after losing both of his parents. As the child of a couple accused of being thieves, no one in the village showed him any sympathy. Nearly every day, he endured insults and scorn from the villagers who still harbored hatred toward his parents.Li Jie continued reading the letter.Regarding the great secret I mentioned earlier, I believe it is time for you to learn your true identity. I can see that you ha

The blood that had been seeping from his pores finally stopped flowing. Li Jie channeled the Devil’s Flame Energy to prevent more blood from escaping. However, despite this effort, he still couldn’t move, as he needed to stay focused on halting the bleeding.The victorious look on Ceng Li’s face began to fade slightly. He could clearly see that the blood had stopped oozing from the body of the handsome young man, whose entire figure was now drenched in blood.Li Jie’s current appearance was truly horrifying. His once-white clothes had turned blood red. Even his face was not spared, covered in fresh blood, making him look like a bloodthirsty creature.Ceng Li’s brow furrowed deeper, his confusion growing by the second. “He should’ve died from blood loss… but why is he still standing tall? Impossible! Something is definitely wrong,” he thought, filled with questions.
Li Jie vs Ceng Li
Li Jie channeled his inner energy to withstand the fierce gust of wind hitting him. The young man realized that his opponent's strength had at least reached the intermediate stage of the Unrivaled Warrior level—two levels above Prime Minister Guang Zi. Yet, in all his battles, Death still remained the most powerful adversary he had ever faced.The wind gusts from the whirlwind formed by the Devils Eagle blade grew even stronger, relentlessly battering him. The vortex itself slowly expanded in size.The storm-like effect caused by the Devils Eagle blade was terrifying. Like a tornado, dry leaves flew along the direction of the wind, along with uprooted grasses.Not only that, smaller trees were ripped from the ground, roots and all. Even larger trees shook violently, their leaves torn from the branches.Still focused on holding back the windstorm, Li Jie was suddenly startled by an attack launched by Ceng Li.The pale-faced man unsheathed his sword, spun sideways, and lunged to pierce

Not far from the first mask, he also saw another mask lying in a small muddy puddle."So they really are dead. Those fragments of flesh were their bodies. I must find out who killed them and the Prime Minister!" he muttered with a tone filled with fury.Ceng Li could also conclude that the person who had killed his four subordinates and Prime Minister Guang Zi was the same.The masked man remained silent at the spot for quite a while. Suddenly, he was startled by the sound of horse hooves slowly approaching. Quickly, he darted behind a bush to hide and observe who was coming toward the place."Who is he?"Ceng Li's eyebrows furrowed sharply upon seeing a handsome young man riding a large black horse toward the area.Li Jie continued to spur his horse slowly, venturing deeper into the forest.The young man cast his gaze around as he reached the place where he had fought the four terrifying masked figures. His eyebrows slightly raised upon se

"Who is that handsome young man? Maybe he got caught by the night and slept at the guard post," remarked a woman."Yes, he’s very handsome. I wouldn't mind marrying him," replied another woman wearing heavy makeup."Typical of you, always chasing men! Where would you put your current husband?""If that young man wants me, I'm ready to leave my husband," the woman with heavy makeup answered nonchalantly."You must be crazy! There’s no way a man as handsome as him would want your sagging body!""Ha! Just admit you're jealous! After all, I’ve married five men already. That proves I'm desirable, and this 'sagging body' you mock is still very much in demand.""You don't even realize why they wanted to marry you. They were only after your wealth, not your body!""Hahaha...! Maybe you've been a widow for too long and it messed with your brain? Look at my body, still fresh! There's no way a man would turn me down," the heavi

The ground split with deep cracks under the force of his attack.Guang Zi swallowed hard. He could not imagine the consequences if that strike had landed on him.The battle continued at blinding speed. Explosions echoed throughout the forest as Li Jie and Guang Zi moved faster and faster.Li Jie seemed to have the upper hand, but the persistent use of the Air Freezing Spell still disrupted his movements. He was forced to keep using Demonic Fire Energy to stay agile amidst the freezing air.Demonic Fire Energy continuously flowed from Li Jie’s body, neutralizing the thickening cold.Guang Zi was visibly stunned by Li Jie’s strength. He had not expected the young man to possess such tremendous inner power."How is he getting stronger?" Guang Zi muttered irritably.Not willing to lose, Guang Zi secretly intensified his internal energy. If previously he had limited the Air Freezing Spell to the area around himself, he now expanded its range, trying to slow Li Jie’s movements even more.Li

Air Freezing Spell"I better leave this place. If anyone finds out I am here, our plan could fail," said the hooded man."Yes, Sir."The hooded man quickly left the place.Meanwhile, the four masked figures could not hide their shock. One by one, the flying knives that had been protecting their bodies from attacks fell to the ground, disappearing completely. Strangely, although they could see dozens of beams of light piercing through their bodies, they felt no pain at all."Hahaha...! It turns out your attack means nothing, young man!" one of them laughed."Are you sure about that?" Li Jie smiled thinly.Before they could answer, dozens of beams of light suddenly burst from their bodies."Arrgh...!" one by one, the masked figures screamed before their bodies exploded violently.Boom!Li Jie quickly leapt into a tree to avoid the flying fragments of their flesh. He stared sharply at the remains of his defeated enemies.Then he jumped down and ran in the direction where his horse had go
Battle in the forest of Darknes
Li Jie moved toward one of the masked figures and once again unleashed the Demon-Slaying Light Sword technique. But before the tip of his sword could reach its target, a knife shot toward his blind spot and managed to graze his back. Fresh blood immediately gushed from the wound, soaking the back of his body.“Damn it!” the young man muttered under his breath.Li Jie tried to create some distance, but he was too late—two masked figures were already charging at him.“Poisoned Flying Knives!”The two masked figures spun the knives in their hands swiftly before hurling them toward Li Jie’s body. The handsome youth tried to dodge the deadly attack, but one of the knives, launched from a distance by the other attackers, managed to graze his ribs.Li Jie let out a soft grunt. But he quickly realized the knives were poisoned. Black smoke rising from the wound on his ribs confirmed it.The four masked figures stared at Li Jie in astonishment. The youth should have been paralyzed within second
Battle in the Forest of Darkness
Two hours' journey from the village, Li Jie finally arrived at the edge of the Forest of Darkness. His sharp eyes gazed into the shadowy depths of the forest. He was still trying to figure out how he could find the girls who had mysteriously vanished, if they were indeed inside that forest.After thinking for quite a while, he decided to enter the forest once night fell. At least, the remaining daylight could be used to rest first.Li Jie gently steered his horse to another spot, avoiding the path leading directly into the forest. His destination was a massive tree with a thick trunk. Judging from its enormous size, the tree was surely hundreds of years old.He didn’t choose that tree without reason—besides being a good place to rest, he also didn’t want the terrifying four masked figures he had encountered yesterday to discover his presence at the forest's edge."Don't go anywhere! If you see anyone entering or leaving the forest, wake me up immediately!"The tall, muscular black hor

Several soft knocks on his door startled Li Jie from his thoughts. He quickly stood up and walked over to open the door.“Liu Zixuan? Why are you here so late at night?” the young man asked in surprise.“May I come in?” the beautiful girl asked.Li Jie nodded and let Liu Zixuan enter his room.“Prince… if your answer earlier was only to comfort me, then I am already comforted. But honestly, I can't deny what I feel in my heart. If you truly can’t accept me as your life companion, I understand. I’ll try to distance myself and forget you.”Li Jie faced Liu Zixuan and gently held both of her hands.“My answer earlier wasn’t just to comfort you, but to confirm that you are the woman my late wife had chosen for me. So, I believe four to five years is enough time to find the truth. Believe me, if we are truly destined to be together, I will belong to no one else.”Liu Zixuan raised her blushing face. She then hugged Li Jie tightly, as if not wanting to let go. “Be careful tomorrow. I will w
