The Hell Gate of The Barrens
The dry, dusty night wind battered the hull of Sterling Corp's stealth V-22 Osprey cargo plane.The aircraft touched down without landing lights in the middle of a desolate, reddish desert expanse. No control towers, no smooth asphalt. This was The Barrens a lawless no man's land where state laws and billions of dollars meant absolutely nothing.The hydraulic cargo ramp slowly lowered, descending onto the coarse sand.Seraphina Sterling stepped down first. She was no longer wearing an elegant evening gown; instead, she was clad in a pitch-black tactical combat suit custom-forged from carbon fiber. Her blonde hair was tied back in a tight ponytail. Her blue eyes radiated an absolute, freezing aura of ice, starkly contrasting with the sweltering desert heat around her.Behind her, Rex marched with a Cobalt-9 assault rifle gripped in his hands. His left shoulder, freshly reattached by Silas just yesterday, now moved with fluid, terrifying power.Then came the earth-trembling footsteps. G
The Blood Sun Ginseng
BEEEEEEEEEP!The long, piercing scream of the ECG monitor inside the underground medical fortress of Aegis Sanctum sliced through the air. The green line on the screen had flatlined."Partial cardiac arrest! Clear!" Dr. Harrison yelled in a panic, grabbing the defibrillator paddles with trembling hands. "Charge to 200 Joules! We have to shock his heart now!"But before the high-voltage paddles could even graze Jonathan Thorne's chest, a blood-soaked hand clamped onto Dr. Harrison’s wrist like a steel vice.It was Silas Thorne.The black-suited young man, who had just collapsed to the floor, forced himself up on one knee. His face was as pale as parchment, and black blood continuously dripped from the corner of his lips due to the fatal fracture in his Main Heart Meridian."D-Don't touch him..." Silas growled, his voice broken but radiating a tyrannical aura that froze Dr. Harrison in his tracks. "The defibrillator... will obliterate the remaining Qi protecting his heart...""B-But he'
The Lotus Root Stitch
The night wind was torn apart by the near-silent roar of twin engines. A pitch-black stealth VTOL dropship pierced through the thick clouds, leaving the blazing ruins of The Obsidian Casino in Mirage City miles behind.Inside the cabin, the air reeked of fresh blood.Seraphina leaned back, gasping for air, her red gown ruined and her porcelain skin as pale as paper. Beside her, Jonathan Thorne lay in critical condition on a makeshift stretcher, hooked up to a respirator.But the worst off were Rex and Silas. Rex’s shoulder had a fist-sized hole bored through it by Malachi’s claw, while Silas lay comatose, his black dress shirt soaked in coagulated black blood from the meridian backlash and the forced channeling of Victor's golden Qi."Nova," Seraphina whispered into her wrist communicator. "Open the gates to Aegis Sanctum. Prep Surgical Team Alpha. If even one person dies tonight, I will bury every doctor in this facility alive.""Received, Miss Sterling. ETA three minutes."Three min
Anatomy of a Corpse Saint
The air at the bottom of the casino's crater seemed to freeze solid.The lethal energy claw of Malachi, the undead Half-Step Martial Saint, was brought to a dead halt. Silas's left hand, now entirely commandeered by Victor's soul, gripped the skeletal wrist with an impossibly unshakable vice.There was no explosion of physical force, no violent hurricane of Qi. There was only an absolute, oppressive silence. The pure golden light radiating from Silas's eyes devoured every ounce of the emerald-green death aura and toxic miasma surrounding them.Malachi's jaw dropped. The hellfire in his eye sockets violently flickered. He tried to wrench his arm back, but the left hand of the black-suited man before him felt like the crushing jaws of an ancient dragon."Victor... You...!" Malachi's raspy voice was laced with a venomous cocktail of hatred and terror that had been buried for a century.Silas, exuding Victor's absolute majesty, merely tilted his head a fraction. Those golden eyes dissecte
The Terror of a Half-Step Martial Saint
The night wind of Mirage City seemed to grind to a dead halt. The air suddenly felt as thick as sludge.Massive marble boulders from the ruins of The Obsidian Casino, weighing tens of tons, levitated into the air, defying earthly gravity, before silently disintegrating into fine dust.From the bottom of the smoldering crater, a figure slowly ascended to the surface. He didn't jump, nor did he climb. The figure literally floated, entirely defying the laws of nature.Silas held his breath. His sharp eyes locked onto the figure.It was a man who looked like a walking corpse. He wore the tattered and age-rotted remnants of a 19th-century European aristocratic coat. His skin was ashy gray, like dried parchment clinging to bone, yet it exuded a toxic metallic sheen. Ten rusted black iron chains, as thick as an adult's arm, pierced directly through his spine, as if they had bound him to the earth's core all this time.Within his sunken eye sockets burned two spheres of emerald-green fire, th
The Heaven-Reversing Needle
Time seemed to grind to an absolute, agonizing halt.The massive silver energy claw unleashed by the Association President tore through the air with an ear-piercing shriek. Its sole target: to obliterate the heart of Silas Thorne, who was currently paralyzed by a severe meridian backlash and weighed down by his father's frail body.The claw of death was now less than a hand's breadth away from Silas's chest. The freezing, murderous Qi of a Peak Grandmaster had already shredded his black dress shirt.There was no time to dodge. No room to counterattack.Yet, in that razor-thin margin between life and death, a hulking black shadow lunged from the side with a speed that defied all common sense.SHLUCK!The sickening crunch of tearing flesh and shattering bone echoed loudly. A geyser of fresh blood sprayed, splattering across Silas's deathly pale face.It wasn't Silas's chest that had been pierced.Rex, the loyal right hand who was always as silent as a shadow, had hurled his own massive
