The Legendary King Of War Returns 0229: Is The Sacred Shadow Sect In Trouble?
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

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

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

"Since you want to know, I'll oblige. But..." Kian's words trailed off as his eyes darted to Cyprus. He might be Augustus' disciple and has proven to be reliable so far on their journey here, he couldn't let his guard down and trust just anybody. So he was a bit hesitant to speak.Augustus Vane noticed his actions and was concerned but shook his head sideways as if to assure him before saying, "I trust my disciple. Go on. Speak. You can trust him too."Hearing Augustus' words, Kian no longer hesitated and directly lifted his hand to take off the plain, black mask on his face. The mask fell off, revealing an impeccably symmetrical face which was an absolute work of art.Cyprus' jaws almost dropped when he saw Kian's face. If he was considered one of the gorgeous men in this province, then Kian would definitely top the charts. When Cyprus saw Wesley earlier, he thought the man was already handsome enough but seeing Kian's face, he could see how wrong he was and it was obvious who the

Kian knelt down in silence. No one else dared to speak. They all watched Augustus cry out the grief he has carried inwardly for years. The courtyard was silent except for Augustus' cries.Eventually, the man stopped crying. He wiped his red face and looked down at Kian. Reaching out to pat his hair, he nodded with a small smile."Very good... Good... Good..."His smile widened with each pat on Kian's head. Wesley gulped slightly. If it was someone else that was touching the general's precious hair so casually, that person wouldn't live to see the light of the day.Even back at the barracks, Kian never let anyone get so close to him and get touchy. This elder is really dear to him. He was even kneeling and still smiling. Wesley mischievously wondered if he could secretly film this scene and send it to their brothers in the barracks. But just as quickly as the thought escaped into his head, he shook it off. The general would skin him alive if he finds out."You naughty child... You wer
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0235: Never Forgot Their Roots
How can this young, dashing grandmaster be someone's assistant? Augustus Vane looked at Kian expectantly. The latter smiled and was just about to speak when Cyprus' laughter echoed in the courtyard."Even with all the clothes, genteel appearance and all, you are just someone's spokesperson," Cyprus held his stomach as he made a mockery of Kian.Kian's face darkened and his smile disappeared. His face turned icy and he glared at Cyprus."Shut up!" Augustus also had a displeased expression as he scolded his disciple. "You fool! Do you know who he is? How dare you talk so recklessly?""Why wouldn't I know?" Cyprus scoffed coldly. "Master, you've been stuck in this courtyard and have not the slightest idea of what is going on out there.""This man here," Cyprus pointed at Kian with a smile of ridicule. "His face is plastered all over the news. He has a big shot backing him up and he is the assistant of that man. He is just a mere spokesperson."Augustus Vane's face got darker. "Did you he
The Legendary King Of War Returns 0236: Pay Your Debts
"Cyprus, you should know that back then, my parents had no one. They were all alone in a foreign city. The imperial Blackwood's family here wanted to annihilate them."At Kian's words, Cyprus' eyes shook slightly but the former didn't end there, "Besides the imperial Blackwood's family, there were other powerful families watching my parents closely from the dark. Back then, uncle Augustus hid his identity to help my parents. If they had contacted him, those people will definitely find out.""Cyprus," Kian took another step forward. "If those people find out, what would the consequences have been? Uncle Augustus risked all to protect my parents back then. Everything would have been in vain."Kian finally stopped talking. Cyprus lowered his head, lost in thoughts for a minute. However, after a few minutes, he raised his head and snorted coldly."All you just said doesn't change the fact that my master was severely injured and our sect is on the verge of becoming extinct.""Yes," Kian no

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
