The Legendary King Of War Returns 0137: Forgotten Memories
"General, I have completed my investigation. The rumors are indeed true. On Friday, the Grays and Sinclairs are planning to invade the hall and dig up your parents grave." Kian's fingers, which had been gingerly swaying a golden cup, stopped. One couldn't see his facial expression as his head was lowered. But Wesley was fuming on his behalf. He has followed Kian for years. He knew his personality more than anyone else. Even if he was a cold general who killed people without batting an eye on battlefields, this man was only human and also knows how to feel wronged. This was the height of wickedness the Grays and Sinclairs could have ever shown. THUMP! Wesley fell to his knees and bowed. In a pleading tone, he asked, "Kian, you don't have to endure this any longer. Just say a word. I will wipe out those two families. Just an order from you is all I need... Please..." Kian didn't say a word but his fingers trembled slightly. Wesley rarely addressed him by his first name. W
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0138: Bloody Corpses To Honor You
There was a big armchair in one corner of the room by a bookshelf. The book shelf was broken and completely ruined. The chair itself was nothing to write home about. After years of neglect, it had been destroyed by moths and was in a miserable state. But Kian could still see a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting on the armchair. A pair of medicated glasses on her face, a teacup in one hand and a book in the other. 'Mom, are you reading one of those romance books again? You already have dad. Why do you still read about fictional men?' Kian would always tease his mother whenever he popped in from work and found her reading. 'I spent the best of my youth dating your father... I didn't have time to read these books. Now he has lost most of the manly charms I fell for. This is my only escape from reality.' Kian's lips twisted with a smile; he could still hear his mother's teasing response. And that was when his father would grumble, 'I heard that.' A bitter laughter escaped from
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0139: Only Weapon I Can Count On
"Who said that?" The arrogant man from earlier turned around and glared at the crowd. He was the only son of Thomas Sinclair and had been pampered from birth, explaining why he had a terrible attitude. The crowd were silent and no one dared say a word. He smirked and questioned them in a fierce tone, "Why don't you repeat yourself? Are you too scared to do that?" The crowd exchanged a look. A group of young men who couldn't stand his attitude, stepped out and criticized him. "Who do you think you are to—" BANG! BANG! BANG! Hardly had the first man finished speaking when the guards of Sinclair's family descended on, barraging them with kicks and punches. "Ow!" "Ah!" "Mom!" "Stop hitting my son!" "Don't kill my husband!" Painful cries echoed in the hall amongst the crowd until Sinclair's young master raised a palm causing the attacks to cease. The badly bruised young men limped away in fear. "If anyone speaks again, I'll order my men to kill you all! Don't u
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0140: If He Takes One More Step...
The remaining five guards were stupefied watching blood taint the rain water splatting on the ground and the head of their colleague rolling down the road.SLASH!Before they could recover from their shock, Kian already raised his blade and beheaded them all in a swift strike. They didn't even have to cry in pain or fight back as they succumbed to a silent death.Without flinching, Kian stepped on one corpse and another, heading into the hall through the gates which the guards had refused to grant him entry to before.Back in the hall, Jonathan Gray was already getting impatient. The guards haven't announced Kian's arrival yet and there was no sign of the little bastard either. Was that bastard such a coward he wasn't willing to show up even after knowing what is at stake? Will all their efforts today just be in vain?"Call the guards. Is that bastard still not here yet? Will he not show up today...""Uncle, don't get so worked up," Olivia smiled, walking up to him to pat his arm gen
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0141: A Blood Bath!
When the laughter ceased, Kian swatted away the wet hair strands that had clung to his forehead so he could fix his cold gaze on the members of Gray's and Sinclair's families. "I underestimated your courage. You people are very brave. Even after death, you still aren't willing to let my parents rest." Kian's appearance was as calm as his voice. He didn't look as repentant and scared as the Grays and Sinclairs expected. This irked them. "Shut your mouth!" Olivia Sinclair sneered at him coldly. "Any sane man would attempt to plead when they are about to be killed but you... You are about to die yet still know how to run your mouth. As expected, you didn't disappoint me, Kian." Olivia's face displayed the deep seated hatred she felt towards him. She would never forget that the first thing this bastard had done after his return was to crash her wedding banquet ceremony and even cripple her groom! Then he had uttered words that added to her humiliation. There were so many of her s
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0142: I Don't Know Him
At that moment, Thomas had completely forgotten how Thorne acted towards him on the phone before. After reporting the Celestium mine to the imperial families, they must have earned their trust!Yes... This was the only explanation. Thomas' smile bloomed even more and he views again."Don't worry, young masters and mistresses. We will deal with this small matter quickly and not keep you waiting."'You fools!'The imperial families trembled all over and looked at Thomas like he was a fool. Of course, he didn't notice. The imperial families turned white like they had seen a ghost and they all cursed inwardly.'You godforsaken geezers! Who asked you to bow to us? Stop acting like we are closely acquainted. Don't get us killed!'The imperial families snuck a glance at Kian and almost wanted to cry on the spot. The young man remained calm in the same spot but the look in his eyes... The strong murderous intent couldn't be hidden!The imperial families cursed at Jonathan and Thomas once more

"You really don't know him?" Kian squinted at Thorne, making him sweat profusely. The latter was terrified, knowing that Kian was setting a trap for him with his words.He wasn't foolish enough to walk right into the trap. An unimportant small family branch isn't worth risking his life for so he shook his head once again, "I swear, the Sinclair's family of Valoria Prime has nothing to do with our imperial Sinclair's family. Their ancestors alienated from our family long ago and have been regarded as outsiders since then."Thomas gasped, collapsing to the ground. His chest tightened as if a vise had clamped down, and each breath seemed to be torn from his lungs with terrifying force.He looked at Thorne in a shocked silence. What the heck?! He had dared to act so arrogant and recklessly today because he thought he had the support of the main Sinclair's family?But now, the people he was relying on had so ruthlessly cut him off and denied him at the last minute. Only one word could be
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0144: Don't You Want To Live?
Pineview hall was completely silent. The heavy rain had ceased and was only drizzling now. Bloody water marred the soil, evoking a strong nauseous feeling.Two people were kowtowing and wailing loudly. Kian lowered his head and looked down at the two patriarchs pleading for mercy at his feet. They were in a miserable state.Despite how pitiful they were, Kian's heart only turned colder. Throughout his years on the battlefields, he had discovered different types of people.But the people he hated the most were the cowards. They would rather lower their heads in front of their enemies to plead for mercy than die.Begging for mercy from the enemy at the point of death was the most useless thing to do. Wasn't everyone supposed to step on the battlefield with the mindset of winning or dying?Now these two patriarchs of Gray and Sinclair's families were doing the same. These people had destroyed his family when they were helpless and hopeless.They had locked him up in the prison, beaten hi

But then Kian thought about it. Now that he is in the imperial capital, his ultimate goal is to uproot those forces behind the aristocratic Blackwood's family that are hiding in the dark.To make headway, he would need a weighty position in the capital. The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader fits that perfectly. And if things get too complicated, he could just hand over the affairs of the alliance to Augustus Vane. With this thought in mind, Kian's lips curved beneath his mask delightfully. He no longer hesitated. His pale face gained some colors as he clasped his hands in gratitude to the crowd's cheers and bowed.His humble acceptance made the crowd go wild and cheered even louder. He raised his head and stumbled off the ring.As soon as he got out, Rolad Harrington rushed over with a group of some other members and quickly surrounded him."Congratulations, alliance leader!" Roland Harrington was beaming with a smile as he clasped his hands once again. "Thank yo
0328: First In History!
Upon hearing the spectators' jeers and mockery, the faces of the remaining elders in the ring turned darker than a gloomy cloud. They all had the same thoughts in their minds.This is all because of this old rascal Grimm. Why did he suddenly withdraw from the contest without a reason?!The position of the ancient martial arts alliance leader was something they all wanted to vie for, although not through unscrupulous methods like Silas Nightingale and his allies.But now, with the public's current opinion, how could they possibly fight for it? If someone were to truly defeat all of them and become the leader, then they would have to endure the disdain of the public's disdain for the rest of their lives!"I also withdraw from the contest!" Another female elder who had been in alliance with Grimm and was fighting back Silas Nightingale's allies earlier raised her voice just before jumping out of the ring."I won't compete either!" Another elder declared in agreement to her words and got
0327: Shortsighted
Ambrose Darkmore trembled all over. He raised his head with the last strength he could muster and locked eyes with the person who spoke. His eyes shook when he saw who it was—Roland Harrington. The latter scoffed and shrugged calmly, "Don't give me that look. I'm just making a reasonable expression."'Damn it!' Ambrose Darkmore was so furious his chest was about to burst open. His frustration surged so that his heart ached more. He spat out a mouthful of blood helplessly before—THUD!His lifeless body collapsed on the ground with a dull thump. The sword held up his motionless body in a gory sight.The martial arts prodigy that had made a name as the 'Sword Maniac' in the martial arts community of the imperial capital was literally driven to death not by his sword but rage!The masked figure raised his head in the direction where the members of the aristocratic Harrington's family were occupying and arched his eyebrows at Roland Harrington. What a great assistance!This patriarch of
0326: First In History!
At the ring, Ambrose Darkmore stared blankly at the chaos happening above. What's going on? How could this be happening? He hasn't done anything wrong, so why was he being shunned and labeled as a disgrace?!"It wasn't me! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t—" He roared, desperate to make one last attempt at fixing his ruined reputation.SWOOSH!SWISH!WHOOSH!...All he received in response was a barrage of shoes, water bottles, drink bottles, snacks, and other objects raining down on him."Boo!!!!" Some spectators even ridiculed him. They all witnessed the truth of what happened, didn’t they? There was such undeniable evidence against him, yet he was still trying to prove his innocence! He is truly shameless to the core!In the ring, Ambrose Darkmore's face turned ashen once more. He froze in a spot, not even trying to dodge. He just let the objects hit him.At that moment, he was filled with an overwhelming sense of despair. The reputation of his sect was already in tatters as everyon
0325: Renounce
"Aren't you afraid that this old man will suddenly turn on you all also?!" Kian shouted in desperation.The faces of the three elders contorted into a cruel grin, and one of them retorted, "We are more concerned about seeing you dead first!"Then, the four elders ignored him completely and launched their attacks relentlessly! SWISH! Ambrose Darkmore thrusted his sword forward. His attack was so fierce that his blade pierced right through Kian's left shoulder!But at that same time, another elder was attacking Kian from behind. Kian's eyes curved in a mysterious manner as he reached out and—A strange force seemed to erupt from the masked figure, gripping Ambrose Darkmore's wrist so tightly that he couldn't move!His sharp blade glinted in the light, almost blinding one's eyes. Suddenly, the hair of the elder attacking from behind stood on the end as he screamed in horror, "No!"But before his voice could fade, the sword that had seemingly pierced Kian's left shoulder drove into his
0324: I Swear I Didn’t Kill Him!
"No! It's not what you are all thinking. You've got me wrong! It wasn't me!" Ambrose Darkmore's loud roar traveled across the square. "I swear I didn’t kill him!"Ambrose Darkmore's voice was filled with extreme anger and deep grievance. Though he was known in the capital city as a 'Sword Maniac', he always wore a flowing robe and presented himself with an air of elegance and grace.But now, with his disheveled grey hair and bloodshot eyes, he emanated a fierce and violent aura. He completely lost any trace of his usual refined demeanor."You've all got it wrong! I didn’t kill Silas Nightingale!" He was extremely frustrated as he shouted severally, but no one responded to him. The spectators gave him strange expressions that portrayed all their thoughts.'Do you think we are fools?!'Thousands of people had witnessed the entire scene and watched him split Silas Nightingale's brain open with his long sword!Now, the delusional man was screaming and claiming that he wasn't the one who d
0323: Your Heart Is So Dirty!
The square was filled with silence. Ambrose Darkmore's long sword struck down heavily just as Silas Nightingale fell unconscious, his life hanging on a thread.The sharp blade gleamed menacingly, poised to sever Kian's head in one strike. But the latter suddenly moved. His movement was so swift in that split second that Ambrose Darkmore couldn't catch up.CLANG!Kian held the tip of the sword, not caring about the damage it did to his fingers. His cold eyes locked on Ambrose Darkmore as he pushed the sword forward.Ambrose's eyes widened with shock, and his face turned pale with shock. He hurriedly tried to retract his sword but found that it was too late.SWISH!Blood splattered as Ambrose's long blade pierced right through Silas Nightingale's forehead instead of its original target. The sudden impact impaled him completely.BANG!BANG!BANG!...At the same time, the remaining elders also assaulted Kian with a barrage of attacks.THUD!Kian's body flew back like a rag doll due to th
0322: Should Never Have Underestimated Him
At this time, Kian had already staggered to the edge of the ring when he was hit with another fierce strike from Ambrose Darkmore. The blade slashed through his back and tore through his robe, revealing a trail of bloody line."Ugh!" He spewed a mouthful of blood and breathed laboriously. He was already critically injured. Seeing him in this state, Silas Nightingale was overjoyed and charged forward. "Keep it up! He's already at the end of his wits!"Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders were also delighted. They prepared to strike again and give Kian the final blow. Feeling the terrifying gusts of wind swirling around him, Kian arched a bloodied eyebrow. After being attacked for the nth time, he was now utterly battered. This act has been on for too long, it's time to put an end to it.So this time, he stood firm on the spot and didn't dodge. Panting heavily, he waited for Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore and the other elders to close in on him. To the spectators, it appeared
0321: Could He Be Putting On An Act?
The central square was in a somber atmosphere. The crowd's emotions stirred because of Roland. But Wesley, who the show was for, simply looked at the middle-aged man speechlessly.He couldn't help but ponder, 'Did the general hire this old man to play this dramatic role and add more fuel to the fire? Why is he performing so enthusiastically?'In the ring, Kian, who was supposedly beaten to the brink of death, felt his face twitch severally. 'Who is this person that's acting so dramatic? I didn’t hire anyone...'Even the facial expressions of Silas Nightingale, Ambrose Darkmore, and the other elders in the ring changed. They threw Roland grim looks and scoffed,"Why are you shouting so dramatically? Are you really so sad?!"If one didn't know better, they would have mistook Kieran for Roland's first son with the way he was wailing.Everyone knows the presence of Harrington's family at the square today was to recruit powerful martial artists for their family, but even if Kieran dies at
