2025-02-23 10:30:04The 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 year apart, the boy who had once been his punching bag had changed so drastically.
"But I won’t kill you just yet. I’ll make you suffer first!" Li Jie continued, driving his fist into Yung Fei’s solar plexus.
Despite being the son of a renowned martial arts master, Yung Fei lacked true skill. He only trained when forced by his father and spent most of his days playing around with his three lackeys.
Li Jie’s punch landed squarely, sending Yung Fei crashing to the ground. He curled up, clutching his stomach in agony as fresh blood spewed from his mouth.
Li Jie then delivered a powerful kick to Yung Fei’s abdomen, sending him skidding backward. The young man, son of Cheng Xi, could not withstand the pain and let out a piercing scream, catching Cheng Xi’s attention. The master of the Sacred Sword Sect had been frozen in place, staring at the lifeless body of Pratama in his arms.
"My son!" Cheng Xi roared, rushing toward Yung Fei and intercepting Li Jie’s next kick just before it could land.
The handsome young man leaped back a few steps, feeling a slight pain in his shin from the impact. He silently regretted not using more of his inner strength when attacking Yung Fei. Had he known Cheng Xi would intervene, he would have struck with greater force.
"Don't be a coward, Yung Fei! You are my son and my successor!" Cheng Xi scolded, trying to console his son, who was already on the verge of tears.
His gaze then shifted to the dozens of disciples and followers who stood idly by, watching the scene unfold.
"Why are you all just standing there like statues? Kill that damn brat now!" he barked.
The disciples exchanged hesitant glances but remained frozen in place. Disillusionment was evident on their faces as they witnessed their master’s disgraceful actions.
"If you don’t attack him, I’ll kill you all myself!" Cheng Xi's furious roar echoed through the air, but still, none of his disciples moved.
"Are you so afraid of me that you have to order your men to fight for you?" Li Jie mocked.
"I fear no one, especially not an arrogant brat like you!" Cheng Xi shot back. Without hesitation, he launched himself at Li Jie.
His fist flew toward Li Jie’s head with immense force, but instead of dodging, Li Jie met the attack with an equally powerful block. Seizing the opening, he immediately struck at Cheng Xi’s exposed ribs with his claw-like fingers.
The old master swiftly twisted his body to the side, evading the attack while simultaneously launching a counterstrike.
Li Jie was slightly taken aback by Cheng Xi’s ability to attack while dodging. He hadn’t expected the old man to be so skilled. However, his rigorous training with Cheng Xi had prepared him well. He quickly dropped low, allowing Cheng Xi’s punch to whizz harmlessly over his head.
But Cheng Xi’s maneuver had a flaw—it left a large opening in his defense. Li Jie didn’t waste the opportunity. He unleashed the Holy Dragon Palm Strike, landing a clean hit on Cheng Xi’s stomach.
Cheng Xi grunted in pain. Fortunately, his strong inner energy protected him from more severe injury. The master of the Sacred Sword Sect immediately channeled his internal energy to heal some of the internal damage.
"So, this is the extent of your power? How pathetic," Li Jie sneered, a mocking smile forming on his lips. "Your skills don’t live up to your big words."
Cheng Xi seethed with rage. As both the village chief and the master of the Sacred Sword Sect, his pride had been utterly shattered. He had been completely humiliated in front of the villagers and his own disciples.
Enraged, he drew his sword and pointed it at Li Jie. "I swear I will end your life here and now!"
"You talk too much, old man. Prove it if you can!" Li Jie unsheathed the sword strapped to his back. He took a moment to admire the blade, which shimmered in a dazzling array of colors. The faces of his parents flashed through his mind.
"Father, Mother… I will avenge you. After this, you can rest in peace," he murmured in his heart.
He then focused on Cheng Xi, who was already charging toward him. Without hesitation, Li Jie surged forward to meet his opponent’s strike.
A fierce battle erupted before hundreds of onlookers. The villagers and Cheng Xi’s disciples backed away, unwilling to get caught in the deadly clash.
Cheng Xi relentlessly unleashed his most formidable techniques. His speed and swordsmanship forced Li Jie into a purely defensive stance, waiting for the right moment to counterattack.
As the fight progressed, Cheng Xi’s movements became faster and more aggressive. Frustrated by his failed attempts to land a hit, he increased his speed. Though Li Jie was now on the defensive, none of Cheng Xi’s strikes had yet drawn blood.
Realizing he couldn't keep up in a conventional fight, Li Jie activated his lightness skill, allowing him to move with supernatural agility. He knew that without it, he would eventually fall victim to Cheng Xi’s blade.
Li Jie’s sudden increase in speed caught Cheng Xi off guard. In mere moments, the young man turned the tide of battle, forcing Cheng Xi onto the defensive. The old master had no choice but to retreat, leaping several paces backward.
Li Jie did not pursue him. He watched, waiting to see what the old master would do next while preparing his Sacred Thousand-Light Sword Technique.
Cheng Xi took deep breaths, steadying himself before channeling his inner energy into his sword. In an instant, a massive aura erupted from the blade, accompanied by a loud buzzing noise, like a swarm of thousands of bees.
Then, without warning, he lunged forward once more, executing his ultimate technique.
"King Swarm Sword!" Cheng Xi roared as he swung his blade.

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

Li Jie nodded, then took out his mother's necklace and showed it to Mo Yan."I want to ask about my parents, Grandpa. Grandfather Song Rui told me that my mother was the daughter of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty. But why did my parents end up living in this village?"Mo Yan let out a heavy sigh before answering Li Jie's question. "So, Song Rui has finally revealed your true identity, Li Jie. It is true that you are the child of a royal princess. In other words, you are the grandson of Emperor Li Wei."Mei Lian, who had been listening to her grandfather's conversation with Li Jie from inside her room, could not hide her shock. If Li Jie was truly a prince, then her hope of being with him was as good as gone.She thought that Li Jie would surely choose to live in the palace and would also find his destined partner there. Besides, she had already heard that the palace was home to many beautiful women."As for why your parents lived in this village, I will tell you the story," Mo Yan c
THE GOD'S OF CHOSEN WARRIOR Robbery
Meanwhile, outside the inn, more than forty bandits were searching through the villagers' houses one by one, looting any valuables they could find.Painful screams echoed in the night as the bandits mercilessly swung their weapons. They showed no mercy to anyone who dared to stand in their way.The terrified cries of women and children added to the horror of what should have been a peaceful night. The once-tranquil village was now filled with fear and chaos.Several young women sobbed as they were dragged away by the bandits. Their desperate cries for their parents did nothing to move the hearts of their captors. Instead, the bandits laughed heartily, pleased with the wealth and women they had seized."Tonight, we shall have a grand feast!" roared a tall, muscular man wielding a large sword. His laughter rang out loudly, matching his terrifying presence."That's right, Chief! We never expected such a small village to be this wealthy—and its women so alluring," one of the bandits repli

Li Jie was stunned by the loud shout. However, he did not realize that the threat was directed at him. He still had his face lifted, though he was no longer looking at the beautiful girl who had just arrived.Bang!"Are you deaf!?" the soldier shouted again while slamming the table where Li Jie and Mei Lian were seated.Li Jie stared sharply at the soldier for a moment. But then he lowered his gaze, not wanting to cause trouble in the dining hall.The beautiful girl, dressed in luxurious noble attire, glanced briefly at Li Jie. Although she admired his handsome face, her admiration quickly faded when she noticed his tattered clothing. Without further thought, she continued walking up the stairs."This is the first and last warning. If you dare look at Princess Yuan Li again, I will make you blind forever!"After delivering both a warning and a threat, the soldier finally followed the beautiful girl named Yuan Li."Why are you frowning like that?" Li Jie asked."You’re so clueless, Li

"Are you stupid or what, Wang Wei? I called you here because I wanted to discuss our arranged marriage. Two days ago, my father asked me about your father's request to betroth us.""So, what was your answer, Princess? Are you willing to accept me, this handsome man, as your husband and the father of our future children?""I'm not blind, Wang Wei! If we're talking about looks, that annoying young man downstairs is more handsome than you. And you know very well that my father is the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty. There's no way I would agree to marry someone of lower status than me!"Prince Wang Wei clenched his fists, holding back his anger. The princess’s words were an indirect insult. However, he was not a fool. He wouldn’t let go of the beautiful Princess Yuan Li so easily."Is there any special condition for you to accept this arrangement?"Princess Yuan Li nodded. "If you can win the upcoming tournament and become a Commander, I will accept the marriage. But remember, Wang W

The innkeeper woman was confused by the behavior of her two guests."Wait a minute, beautiful girl... So, he's not your husband? Is he your lover?""Neither. That's why we booked two rooms," Mei Lian replied."What about you, handsome young man? Should I write down two rooms?""Whatever, Auntie! As long as we get a discount," Li Jie replied."Oh, I see. If you're really not this beautiful girl's husband or lover, then doesn't that mean this beautiful auntie here has a chance? You see, I'm a young widow who's been alone for a long time since my husband passed away. If you marry me, this inn could be yours."Li Jie rubbed his eyes repeatedly before closing them."What's wrong? Do your eyes hurt?""I think I just heard a voice. But why don't I see anyone?" Li Jie laughed freely without a trace of guilt."You little rascal...! Do you think I'm a ghost in broad daylight? There's no way a ghost could be as beautiful as I am!"The two of them burst into laughter, paying no mind to Mei Lian,

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
The Forest of Darkness
"Is there anything I can help you with, Prince?" asked Prime Minister Guang Zi."Well, Uncle." Li Jie paused for a moment. "Earlier, I went horseback riding with Princess Liu Zixuan until we arrived at a dense and dark forest, about four hours southeast of here. Once we entered the forest, four masked figures appeared and blocked our path. One of them ordered us to turn back, speaking in a threatening tone."Prime Minister Guang Zi furrowed his brows deeply, his white eyebrows nearly meeting. "Did Your Highness happen to take the fork in the road with a large black stone by its side?"Li Jie raised his eyebrows, trying to recall the fork in the road they had passed. He had been so focused on the forest in the distance that he hadn’t noticed any black stone at the crossroads.He shook his head and shrugged, "I’m not sure, Uncle. But what I remember is the forest was so thick that even sunlight couldn’t penetrate its canopy.""I believe what Your Highness encountered was the Forest of D
