As Prince Wang Wei's body exploded, the golden sword he had been holding suddenly shot off in an unknown direction, leaving the scene.

Li Jie gazed at the now-unrecognizable remains of Prince Wang Wei. A deep sense of regret filled his heart. There was a reason he had given Prince Wang Wei a chance—he saw potential in the man, believing his abilities could greatly benefit the palace. Unfortunately, Prince Wang Wei's ambition had overshadowed his reason.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jie stepped closer to Hong Li, who was still meditating to neutralize the effects of Prince Wang Wei's attack. He could sense that the Demonic Fire energy within Hong Li's body was responding positively.

Before long, Hong Li opened his eyes. He then stood up and bowed deeply before Li Jie. "Thank you, Prince. I truly thought death had come for me just now."

Li Jie offered a small smile before inviting Hong Li to return to the palace. As they walked toward the ho

    A moment ago, after Prince Wang Wei's body exploded, the Golden Sword that had flown away unexpectedly returned to Song Rui. The teacher of Prince Wang Wei was surprised by the sword's return, which suddenly embedded itself in front of his meditating body.The wrinkles on the old man's forehead deepened. His initial surprise quickly turned into concern for his only student, Prince Wang Wei.The return of the Golden Sword, which he had entrusted to Prince Wang Wei, could only mean that something terrible had happened to him. Song Rui suspected that his student was no longer alive.Slowly, he pulled the Golden Sword from the ground. Then, he placed the blade against his forehead and closed his eyes.

The old man frowned—he recognized that swo

    "Where have you been? Have you forgotten that you have a wife? Or are you looking for another woman out there?"The handsome young man gently stroked his wife's long, black hair. "Now tell me, is there any other woman more beautiful than you, my wife? How could I ever look for someone else when I already have such a beautiful and devoted wife at home?" Li Jie replied with a smile."Then why did you leave without telling me?""I had something important to take care of. If I had told you beforehand, you wouldn’t have let me go. But what I did was to save Hong Li's life.""Next time, you must ask for my permission before leaving!" Mei Lian snapped."Alright, my princess." Li Jie bowed with a broad smile. "Or perhaps… you missed what we did that night?"Mei Lian glared at him before wrapping her arms around her husband. But suddenly, Li Jie lifted he

    Mei Lian smiled upon hearing Li Jie's response. She embraced her husband tightly before they both fell into a deep sleep.Without realizing it, the crowing of roosters welcomed the arrival of the morning sun. All the palace residents had awakened from their dreams and were busy with their respective activities.Meanwhile, Mei Lian, who had also woken up, hurried to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her husband, who was still sound asleep. She didn’t know why, but her heart told her to make something special for Li Jie. Since leaving her home and journeying with him to the palace—until she became his wife—this was the first time she had cooked for him.After finishing her cooking, Mei Lian rushed to their chamber to wake Li Jie."Wake up, my beloved husband. I've made something special for you," Mei Lian said while gently patting his hand.The handsome young man opened his eyes and smiled at his wife."Wash

    The young man's smile widened. However, he still felt unsatisfied with his achievement. He believed that his technique could still be improved. Moreover, he was aware that there were techniques out there more powerful than his.Meanwhile, dozens of soldiers moved out of the capital after receiving orders from Emperor Li Wei to investigate the cause of the explosion and the tremors that were felt all the way to the royal city.The soldiers followed the trail of thick black smoke rising into the sky. They were convinced that the billowing smoke was the aftermath of the explosion they had heard.Halfway to their destination, the soldiers encountered Li Jie, whose clothes were dusty and tattered. They all halted and dismounted from their horses. Then, they immediately bowed in respect."Our respects, Your Highness," one of the soldiers said."Where are you headed?""His Majesty has ordered us to find the source of the explosion, Prince.

    "Chen Li, I've found that young man!" Chen Su whispered."Isn't that the one chasing you?" Chen Li asked, watching a young man running across the rooftops, pursuing his brother."Yes, that's him. Lure him out of the capital. He won't get any help from the soldiers once he's outside.""Where are you going?""I have unfinished business. I'll catch up with you later! Go now!"The two of them swiftly scattered, both heading out of the capital. Chen Su intended to deceive the young man before returning to the palace.Li Jie had to choose which one of them to chase. Though both were heading out of the capital, he needed to catch at least one of them.Once outside the capital, Chen Su hid behind a tree, allowing the young man to chase his brother."Stop right there!" Li Jie shouted as he pursued Chen Li.After gaining some distance from the capital, Chen Li stopped and turned to face Li Jie. His sharp eyes

    The handsome young man was lucky enough to dodge the strike just a fraction of a second before his ribs were hit hard."It turns out your abilities are far beyond my expectations, young man. No wonder you were able to kill Wang Wei!" said Chen Su.Li Jie smirked mockingly at the old man in front of him. His hands rested on his hips, and he remained completely calm, but his vigilance did not diminish in the slightest."Your disciple was indeed foolish, and that usually comes from an equally foolish teacher!" Li Jie retorted quickly, his mocking sneer clear on his lips.Chen Su's eyes widened as his emotions surged. Li Jie's humiliating words instantly ignited his fury."I will tear that sharp mouth of yours apart, you mangy cockroach! I will not let you live!"Li Jie scratched his head slowly, smiling amusedly as he imagined the shape of a mangy cockroach. "Besides being stupid and short-tempered, you’re actually quite funny too, you old goat!"Chen Li chuckled softly upon hearing the

    A strike unleashed by Li Jie sent Chen Su staggering backward, and the young man took advantage of the opportunity to execute one of his signature techniques.His body shot forward, his right hand forming a claw in front of him. "Die!" he shouted.Chen Su, unable to evade, could only raise both hands to block the attack. He channeled more than half of his strength to withstand the immense energy directed at him."Hyaa!" Li Jie shouted loudly just before his attack landed.Chen Su had been prepared to receive the blow, but to his surprise, the young man suddenly changed the direction of his strike. Li Jie planted his foot firmly before shifting sideways, redirecting his claw toward his opponent's neck.The old man could only widen his eyes in shock, unable to react to Li Jie's lightning-fast feint. Just as he resigned himself to his fate, Chen Li lunged to grab his brother's body."You're too foolish, Su! Can't you read that young man's movements?!" Chen Li scolded."Easy for you to say

    Li Jie gave a faint smile before shifting his stance to the Thousand Sacred Lights Sword technique, increasing his attack speed. He only needed a moment of their carelessness, as this technique was most effective when attacking from a distance.Without pause, the young man, who had just lost his wife, continued to move, launching swift close-range attacks while searching for an opportunity to unleash a long-range strike. He then leaped far back and channeled his inner energy into his sword blade. With a faint smirk, he slashed, sending a distant attack targeting the three opponents."Thousand Sacred Lights Sword!" Li Jie shouted. Dozens, even hundreds, of small white beams shot out from the blade in his hand.The two old men leaped into the air to avoid the incoming assault. However, they were shocked when the hundreds of white beams continued to chase them.Using all their speed, Chen Su and Chen Li moved to evade the relentless pursuit of the light beam

  • The Demon Envoy woman

    Li Jie let out a faint grunt. His breathing was slightly labored as blood interfered with his airway. Twice, the attacks of the invisible demon woman had inflicted deep wounds on him, though they weren’t fatal.Quickly, the young man drew upon his Devil’s Fire energy, channeling it throughout his body to ease the pain tormenting him. He also directed some of the Devil’s Fire into his eyes to help track his opponent’s movements. He refused to become a living punching bag for the demon woman, whose movements were nearly impossible to see.Once the Devil’s Fire reached his eyes, Li Jie saw the woman’s figure vanish once again—just as she was closing in on him. He immediately prepared his Devil’s Fire Dragon Palm Strike, hoping to drive back the demon woman sent to conquer the earth.Li Jie’s palm struck her chest squarely the moment she appeared before him. Yet instead of being injured or pushed back, the demon woman didn’t budge an inch. It was Li Jie who was flung far backward after he

  • The Demon Envoy Woman

    Suddenly, a thought crossed Li Jie’s mind to use the Demon Eagle Machete, which now harbored the Demon Fire Energy.The blade of the sacred machete flared up with large flames. That alone was enough to change the expressions on the eight corpses’ faces. They were shocked to see flames erupting from the Demon Eagle Machete, as they had believed the weapon incapable of producing fire.Moreover, the energy radiating from the machete was far stronger than its original power. That was what caused their startled reactions.“So, you can still be surprised. That means you can still die!” The young man’s lips curled into a cold, mocking smile.Not wanting to waste time, Li Jie infused even more Demon Fire Energy into the long blade.“Don’t be afraid! Let’s fight him with a combined attack!” shouted one of the girls. They then lined up, merging their swords into one formation.“Even better if you unite—so I don’t have to bother slaughtering you one by one!” Li Jie sneered. He didn’t even think

    Two girls leapt out of the spinning formation and immediately attacked. Before Li Jie could counterattack, two strikes from his left and right sides posed a serious threat. Quickly, Li Jie stamped his foot firmly on the ground and jumped four meters high to evade.After that, he charged sharply while unleashing a swift attack.“Dragon Claw Splitting the Earth!”Li Jie’s rapid and powerful strike almost hit one of his opponents, but his body was suddenly knocked to the side as a kick landed on his ribs. The young man rolled twice before quickly springing back to his feet.“They seem to know my every move,” Li Jie thought as he attempted another attack. His two fingers, shaped like claws, suddenly burst into flames.However, the eight girls didn’t seem to care about what he was doing. They kept trying to make him surrender, following the orders of the old woman inside the cave. What puzzled Li Jie even more was that even when he used the Flaming Dragon Claw technique, their cold express

    Wurya was increasingly shocked by what he saw. Unconsciously, he stepped back several times, though his body was hard to move. It wasn’t just Wurya who was surprised—Li Jie, the wielder of the energy sword, was also astonished. He had never imagined that a sword formed from the Devil’s Fire energy could become that enormous.About half an hour away from the battlefield, an old woman with a pale face suddenly opened her eyes inside a cave. She sensed energy from outside entering the cave where she was meditating.Around the old woman, eight cold, expressionless young women sat cross-legged, forming a circle with their hands joined.Her eyebrows twitched, curious about the powerful energy she was sensing."Go out and find the owner of this energy!" she ordered the eight girls.The eight girls only nodded without saying a word. Their expressions were utterly cold, as if they had no feelings at all.Simultaneously, the eight girls stood up and walked out of the cave."When you find the ow

  • The Destruction of the Light Sword.

    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

  • Air Freezing Spell

    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
