The Legendary King Of War Returns 0225: The Betrothed
Inhaling for a few seconds, Kian regained his composure. "The elder we are going to visit now was one of the people that saved my parents back then. My father used to say he also put his life on the line to allow them escape out of the imperial capital's borders. He was also the one that gave my father some money to enable my parents to survive during their first days of living in Valoria Prime."Wesley was silent. He suddenly thought, wouldn't the imperial Blackwood's family have found out about that elder's heroic behavior. Would he still be alive now?"General, that elder back then, is he still..." He trailed off, unable to complete his words but Kian quickly guessed what he was trying to say."Back then, those people had to help my parents secretly. When my father's other friend was killed on the borders, it was that elder that fought off those martial artists himself and killed many of them, scaring the rest into running away. He hid his identity pretty well also. The imperial Bl
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0226: Scums In Our Society
"Fried dumplings! Fried dumplings!""Get your steamed buns here!""You'll never find a better grilled corn than mine!""Mister... Mister, would you like to buy fried rice balls?""I have bubble tea here!""..."The melodious voices of the road side traders coupled with their cute accent filled the snack streets. Not to mention the mixed delicious aromas and different colourful snacks. Each trader also tried to get anyone who walked into the streets on their sides.Familiar memories swarmed Kian as they walked through the streets. When he was on the borders, they had mostly had to live on street foods. The roadside food trader he had loved visiting the most was a middle-aged woman who was still unmarried and childless.This was because she had been engaged to the love of her life when she was a youth. But suddenly, a war broke out and young men had to enlist in the army to assist the country. Her beloved was also deployed. He promised that when he returned they would get married.But t
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0227: Bandits Leader
These onlookers are just there to watch the show. They are all talk, no action. There was no point arguing with these people. Besides, if they want to persecute someone, they should go after the real culprit.Kian's gaze fell on the shameless man still wailing and he uttered two words calmly, "Get lost."The man was so astonished he forgot to cry anymore. He stood up, keeping some distance away from the two of them. His kind was racing. This masked man is most certainly a martial artist. Will he dare to lay his hands on him in broad daylight!The sleazy middle-aged man was a bit scared but then he thought, ' How can I rip these two off without taking any risk myself?'Thinking of this, a sinister glint shone in his eyes and he quickly shouted again, "Did you all hear him? See his attitude! Humph!"As soon as he finished speaking, he doubled over, crouched and clutched his chest. "Ow! That kick must have fractured some of my ribs! It hurts badly! My family relies on me for a living. Ho
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0228: Service F*e
Whenever the cops manage to raid Jackal's group, they are usually released at most three days after the raid. He always got away with everything he does. So everyone, including the traders and citizens were all terrified of him. No one dares to provoke him or get on his bad side.In the midst of the terror and commotion, Kian stood calmly with his hands behind his back. His expression was extremely calm and bored, like he was looking at a clown.He doesn't want to get involved with a lowlife like this thug in front of him. But the thing is, no matter how he tries to avoid trouble, trouble comes dancing his way."Go, take down the two of them and have them tightly bound for me," Jackal waved his hands at his lackeys."As you wish!"About ten of them or more grinned and approached the two men, one step at a time. Slowly, they surrounded them. Two against ten or more. It was obvious who was going to win.The onlookers were stunned that Kian still didn't react. He simply continued standin

Cyprus felt embarrassed and uncomfortable because of the way Wesley was glaring so he quickly explained, "The thing is, the situation looked critical back then so I acted first without thinking. There was no time to tell you that I charge people for my services."'You bloody...' Wesley cursed inwardly and was just about to barrage Cyprus with insults when Kian held him back."You are Cyprus right? I heard those people calling you Cyprus. Are you from the Sacred Shadow sect?""Ah yes, you are correct," Cyprus' eyes lit up. "My name is Cyprus and I'm from the Sacred Shadow sect.""Thank you for saving us," Kian folded his palms to show his gratitude. "Whatever it is you want, we'll give to you.""Gen—" Wesley was startled and wanted to call out to Kian but managed to stop himself on time.Cyprus looked extremely pleased. "See," He gestured at Wesley. "Your guard seems more understanding than you. But it's expected of rich, young masters like you."Wesley gritted his teeth and clenched h
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0230: The Mighty Have Fallen!
Kian waited for a few minutes, watching Cyprus battle with his conflicted thoughts before finally turning around. "How will you help me?""Take me to elder Augustus first and then I'll let you know how," Kian answered him calmly. "As a matter of fact, I came to visit elder Augustus."Cyprus' eyes narrowed at Kian suspiciously and he hesitated again. But then, he eventually nodded. Not without snorting coldly and warning him first."I really hope for your precious life that you have no ill intentions against my master. He may be critically injured but it is still easy to kill you like a fly!"Kian's expression changed slightly. Master Augustus was indeed injured and judging by Cyprus' tone, the situation must be more severe than he thought."Don't worry. I don't dare."Cyprus nodded and turned away, leading the way for them to follow. Although Wesley was unwilling to be led by this arrogant man, he had no choice but to follow the general.After some minutes, they finally got to the ent
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0231: Friends Or Foes
Now? Augustus Vane is simply a shadow of his former self and he was only in his mid fifties. For martial artists, this age was the prime of life. But Augustus looked like a man in his eighties—broken, frail and weak."Mister... This is my master—" Cyprus wanted to introduce the man on the sofa but Kian already stepped into the courtyard before he could even complete his words.Cyprus watched Kian move across the courtyard silently and approach the man on the sofa who didn't flinch or react although he could hear the footsteps approaching him despite how quiet the person tried to be.But then the footsteps stopped. Augustus' brows furrowed. What is this person doing? However, he didn't look away from the sky to see Kian perusing his appearance with slightly red eyes.Just as Augustus was about to raise his head, he heard a voice softly ask him, "Isn't it cold outside? Don't you feel cold? Don't sit here anymore or are you still thinking you are that strong, proud, young man?"Augustus'
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0232: Who Are You?
Augustus Vane looked at Kian with a shell shocked expression. No, it couldn't possibly be true. Impossible! The ranks higher than the Grandmaster rank were the ultimate god level ranks. Being able to achieve those supreme ranks meant one's martial arts was at the peak and one had pushed their body to the limit that a normal human body dare not attempt to reach.This masked young man looked like he might be around the same age as the rich, young master or slightly older. How could he have achieved a god level martial arts rank then?No, that is impossible! Augustus thought of it over and over again before firmly dispelling any doubts from his mind. No matter how he thought of it, it was just impossible. However, why would a martial arts prodigy act so respectful to this masked man? It was too strange and unreasonable.But for the sake of the Sacred Shadow sect, Augustus decided he couldn't continue to remain in touch with these people that have strange and unknown backgrounds.Coughi

When Roland Harrington finally stopped, he was panting heavily while Tristan lay on the ground like a dog. His face was bruised and battered. His expensive tuxedo was also covered in different footprints. He was in a sorry state. "You worthless piece of trash!" Roland Harrington before wiping off the sweat on his forehead and turning to Kian. In an instant, the furious expression on his face changed as he turned around. What replaced it was a sweet, sickly smile. "Master... No, leader... I sincerely apologize for my grandson's ignorance," he apologized in a low and submissive tone. "He doesn't understand the rules, but I have already taught him a lesson. Please don't hold him to it." Master? Leader? Tristan was taken aback while Charlotte Lane was terrified. They were at the venue of the contests of the ancient martial arts alliance sects, so they understood perfectly what these titles mean. Is this some sort of joke?! Tristan stared at his grandfather baffled. Th
0332: Let's Catch Up
The spectators exchanged strange looks amongst themselves, with some holding back their laughter. The situation was hilarious. The famous, arrogant heir apparent of the aristocratic Harrington's family was on his knees. What a sight!Even Kian smiled behind his mask. Although people couldn't see his smile, they heard it in his voice as he spoke, "Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to greet me with such a grand gesture on our first meeting or what do you think, Tristan?"His sarcastic and mocking tone snapped Tristan out of his daze immediately. Who the hell does this bastard think he is? How dare he assume a whole heir like him would bow to a lowly bastard?!Tristan flared up immediately, his face turning a deep shade of red. "You bastard! Do you want to be taught a lesson?!"As he shouted, he forced himself to get back on his feet and throw a punch in Kian's direction. But just as he made a move again, a big palm clouded his vision.SMACK!Roland Harrington's wild swing sent Tristan stum
0331: Chose Tristan Over That Man...
Charlotte was still Tristan's girlfriend, and seeing her hurt like this was a huge slap on his face. So even if everyone present, including Charlotte, mistakes his anger for concern and his love for her, to Roland, his grandson's anger was justifiable."Just send someone to handle it. Do you really need to create such a scene here and ask me?'' Roland Harrington scoffed in exasperation."That guy has a strong background!" Charlotte, who had been silent, chose that moment to speak. Her voice was filled with grievance and anger. "Not only did he hurt me, he also nearly crippled the young master of the Faye's family!"The crowd gasped in surprise. What? There was someone that would actually dare to commit these atrocities without any fear for his life?!"Not only that," Charlotte hadn't finished speaking. "He also threatened to publicly humiliate the Faye's family, Smith's family and Hall's family in three days—"WHACK!"Shut up!" Tristan's facial features had hardened as he slapped her
0330: No Big Deal
The spectators immediately stepped back, distancing themselves from the young man who was saying awful things about Charlotte Lane's amputated hands earlier."I asked you to repeat what you said," the iciness in Tristan's eyes and voice deepened as he fixed his gaze on the young man."I... I... I..." The young man looked terrified out of his wits and stuttered, unable to utter a complete sentence.BANG!Footsteps echoed as the five muscular bodyguards in black surrounded him, giving him no room for escape!THUD!The young man trembled and collapsed to the ground on his knees with a loud thud. He bowed severally as he pleaded pitifully, "Tristan, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I spoke without thinking. Please...."His voice shook as he apologized, and his face had turned pale. But before he could complete his words, Tristand extended a leg with a vicious expression and kicked him!BANG!"Argh!" The young man clutched his stomach, howling in pain as he fell down flat. It didn't stop her
0329: The Favored Heir Apparent
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: The New Alliance Leader
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
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
