As night descended, the innkeeper brought dinner for the four travelers.

Since Banu had paid handsomely, the service was far above what ordinary guests could expect.

That evening, the aroma of roasted lamb filled the air. The innkeeper had spent the entire day preparing it, roasting the meat slowly until it was tender and golden.

“The meat is incredibly soft and delicious,” Banu said between mouthfuls, his voice full of delight.

No one answered. Each of them was lost in their own meal, the crackle of the hearth and the faint howl of the wind outside the only sounds filling the quiet room.

Then suddenly—chaos erupted beyond the walls. Angry shouts echoed through the night. The sound of feet rushing and the clatter of weapons broke the calm.

Arga froze mid-bite, his instincts flaring. His hand swiftly reached for the sword resting beside him.

“They’ve found us,” he said, his voice low and cold. “Prepare for battle.”

Arimbi immediately grabbed her Sacred Sword, following Arga toward the

  • The Journey Begins

    Sorry, the chapter “The Assault” should actually come after “The Journey Begins.”*****The news of Jaya Dipa’s death, along with his six disciples, spread swiftly through the halls of the Black Serpent Sect. Whispers filled every corner — who could have possibly slain those seven martial artists so brutally? In response to this shocking incident, the elders of the sect convened an urgent meeting. They feared that if such a tragedy were left unchecked, the same fate might soon befall their own disciples. After several days of investigation, three students from the Iron Body Realm came forward with a confession. They admitted to hiring one of their senior brothers, paying him a thousand taels of gold to rob a nobleman who was traveling through the region. “So, it was you who ordered them to rob that nobleman from the city? Are you out of your minds!?” roared one of the elders, Master Kalam, slamming his hand on the table. “If word of this reaches the officials of the Kingdom of Win

  • Demon's Blood

    The next morning, Arga pushed open the creaking door of the small hut. The cool air of dawn brushed against his face as he stepped outside. Dew hung from the leaves like pearls, glistening faintly in the pale sunlight. His boots sank slightly into the damp soil as he made his way toward the trees behind the hut.Through the shifting mist, he saw the carriage still hidden among the thickets—untouched and just as he had left it. He exhaled in relief.Moments later, Arimbi emerged from the hut, her long hair still damp, her robe fresh and neatly fastened. The dark hue that had once tainted her skin was gone, replaced by its usual gentle glow.“Arga…” she called softly, holding the Sacred Sword of Shang Widi in her hand.He turned slightly, waiting until she reached him.“What is it?” His tone was calm, almost distant.Arimbi’s cheeks flushed. “I wanted to thank you… for saving my life last night.”A faint smile crossed Arga’s lips. “There’s no need,” he said quietly, waving a hand as he

  • Banu Wijaya

    Jaya Dipa, one of the instructors of the Black Serpent Sect, had fallen—his life claimed by the blade of Arga. The battle had ended swiftly, leaving only silence and the faint echo of a dying breath. Without hesitation, Arga turned toward the overturned carriage nearby, where Arimbi lay motionless, her pale face streaked with blood and rain.“Come out!” Arga’s voice thundered through the air, commanding yet calm.From within the carriage, Banu hesitantly peeked out. When he saw that no danger lingered, he pushed the door open and stepped down.“Help me,” said Arga, his tone firm. “We’ll move them into the carriage.”Together, they lifted Arimbi and Suli, both unconscious, placing them gently upon the wooden floor of the carriage. Banu climbed inside to watch over them while Arga took the reins. With a sharp crack of the whip, the horses neighed and began to move, their hooves drumming against the earth as the carriage rolled away from the cursed ground of the Black Serpent Sect.Arga

  • The Phantom Serpent Technique

    Boom!A violent explosion ripped through the forest as a jet of black light struck an old teak tree by the roadside. The blast left behind a crater, and a dark mist rose from the scorched earth.Arga turned toward the source of the attack. Standing not far away, hands on his hips, was an elderly man in a tattered gray robe. One of the bandits who had survived Arga’s previous assault stumbled toward the old man, bowing low.“Master…” he gasped.“What is the meaning of this chaos?” the old man demanded, his tone sharp as a whip. “Why were you and that man fighting with such madness?”“Your disciple tried to rob a traveler on the road,” Arga replied coolly. “I merely gave him the punishment he deserved.”“Silence!” the old man barked, his glare snapping toward Arga. “I was not speaking to you, boy—I was speaking to my student!”Arga’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “What a tiresome old man,” he muttered, his words laced

  • The Iron Shield Technique

    I’m sorry, but the chapter titled “FAILURE” does not belong in this book — it should be included in Sword of the Fire Dragon instead.******The rotund nobleman climbed into his ornate carriage, his heavy steps making the wooden floor creak beneath him. Two of his guards mounted their horses, riding behind the carriage with wary eyes scanning the street.The coachman cracked his whip, and the horses began to pull the luxurious carriage down the dusty road. From afar, Arga watched the gilded carriage roll away from the auction house.But something caught his attention—an ominous group of men tailing the carriage at a steady pace.He recalled that the nobleman carried not only a great sum of money but also the Book of Immortality. Arimbi, who stood beside him, also noticed the pursuers but said nothing. She wanted to see whether Arga still had any sense of compassion left within him. After all, the nobleman had shown him kindness earlier.“Arimbi, I’m going after them,” Arga said calmly
