Confession
The four soldiers looked startled as they were forced awake from their unconsciousness. Cold water streamed down their faces, jolting their awareness back.Still in shock, they struggled against the tight ropes binding them. Even the smallest movement was impossible. They hung their heads in fear—afraid of suffering the same fate as one of their comrades who had already been killed.Fang An and Sun Zu glared at them with eyes so sharp it was as if they meant to skin them alive. That piercing stare made the soldiers tremble even more, their fear plain to see."Strange," Fang An said. "As soldiers of the Tong Dynasty, you should know exactly who you’re dealing with. Even Duke Tsu Yun wouldn’t dare face Elder Sun Zu directly." Fang An glanced briefly toward Sun Zu.Hearing Sun Zu’s name from the white-haired young man, the four soldiers instinctively turned to look at him. Their minds raced—they had indeed heard that name before.It didn’t take long for them to realize that the old man s
Greedy Soldiers
A Long and Sun Zu were fast asleep, so neither of them realized that someone had entered their room.The two figures who slipped inside glanced around. The dim light made it harder to see clearly, but once their eyes fixed on Fang An, they both nodded in unison, signaling that he was the one they were looking for.One of them crept toward Fang An, moving so quietly that not a sound could be heard. To an ordinary person, their footsteps would have been silent. But to a martial artist like Fang An, the sound of their steps thudded in his ears as if knocking on a drum.When the man was beside Fang An, he slowly bent down and began feeling around his waist for something."Is this coin pouch what you’re looking for, soldier?" Fang An said suddenly, holding it up in his right hand.The intruder froze in shock and tried to stand, but Fang An’s left hand was already gripping his neck.Aaakkh!Crack!The sound of a breaking neck wasn’t loud, but it was enough to wake A Long and Sun Zu from the
Uninvited Guests
“If I’m the one paying, is that not allowed?” Fang An retorted.The innkeeper was startled and quickly tried to stop Fang An from paying the tax that he himself owed.“Don’t, Sir. Just let them tear this inn down. I can’t bear the situation in this province anymore—it’s been getting quieter by the day.”Fang An smiled at the innkeeper.“I understand the situation, Uncle. Soon, this province will be bustling again.”The innkeeper frowned in confusion. He had no idea why Fang An spoke with such certainty.“He owes three silver coins. If you can pay it, pay it now!” one soldier said with a mocking tone.“Is that all?” Fang An pulled out his money pouch filled with dozens of gold coins. He took out one gold coin and handed it to the soldier.“Keep the change, Uncle,” Fang An added.The two soldiers were taken aback. The young man before them wore shabby clothes, yet he casually handed over a gold coin.They had not expected that someone who looked like an ordinary commoner would have such
Extortion
Sidharta deliberately did not take the two of them straight to the provincial palace, instead choosing to stay at an inn for the night.Inside the inn room, the three of them took a short rest, easing the stiffness in their muscles after the long journey on horseback.After that, they left the inn to stroll around and enjoy the late afternoon atmosphere.As usual, dining places were the best source of gathering as much information as possible. A modest yet busy eatery became their destination—to fill their stomachs while also gathering intelligence.Of the eight tables inside, only one remained unoccupied. They quickly sat at the empty table before another customer could take it.After the server noted down their orders, Fang An let his gaze wander around the room, his ears sharply tuned for any news that might be overheard.In the same manner, A Long and Sidharta also kept their senses alert, trying to catch even the smallest piece of information that could help them understand the s
The Skull-Headed Figure
Fang An gave a wry smile, realizing his plan to bury his foe alive had failed.“I just didn’t want to get buried in there myself. But if you want to be buried in it, I’ll gladly make that happen for you!”“Damn you! I’ll kill you!” the black-robed figure snarled, launching another precise and vicious attack. But once again, the results disappointed him.“Damn it, he can still read my attacks. Who is this young man really?” the figure muttered in disbelief.“Why aren’t you continuing your attack? Are you tired already, strange creature?” Fang An taunted.A wide grin spread across his face, his sharp gaze locked on his opponent. Even though the figure had no face—only a skull—Fang An could sense the growing anxiety within him.“You may think you’re superior, but I haven’t shown my full power yet!” the skull-headed figure roared, releasing two beams of light from his eyes toward Fang An.But Fang An was already prepared for
Dark Poison Wave
Fang An gave a wry smile as he recognized the technique the skull-headed figure was about to unleash. He had already guessed that his opponent’s moves this time would surely contain poison.The figure suddenly leapt high into the air, then slashed his black staff toward Fang An."Dark Poison Wave!"A thick, billowing cloud of black poisonous smoke surged forward, attacking Fang An, who appeared unprepared to face it.The skull-headed figure grinned broadly, watching as the black smoke engulfed Fang An’s unmoving body.But within seconds, the black smoke suddenly began swirling violently—and then vanished without a trace. What the figure saw next made his eyes narrow: the young man still stood tall, staring back at him sharply.“Cursed brat! What technique is that?” The skull-headed figure’s eyes widened, shocked that one of his most lethal moves had been so easily nullified.“Why so surprised, strange creature?
