Although he was only a worker disciple, Eadric Rong had an instinct that he was currently dealing with people with evil intentions. Accustomed to being bullied in the Wudang Sect, Eadric Rong correctly guessed these people had bad intentions.

Humeng, the leader of the four thugs, laughed. He walked over and stroked his bald head.

"Haha... you're an arrogant kid. Not the slightest courtesy to your elders. No greetings, you know how to answer haughtily, as if you're a young master of a renowned clan! Looking at the clothes you're wearing, I'm guessing you're just a mere worker disciple, claiming to be the sect's top disciple, thus obtaining a sword loan from young master Errol Hou!"

Humeng's words were quite long, but Eadric Rong could already guess the end of the question.

Eadric Rong mockingly replied, "Let's just say that the four of you want to loot this sword I bought on credit, right?"

Seeing the four thugs stunned as if their intentions had been guessed, Eadric Rong laughed mocki

    Currently, in front of Eadric Rong is an evenly colored green landscape.That's the Cloud Pine Forest.On the right side, visible in the distance, was the towering Wudang Mountain Range, where the Wudang Sect stood. On the left side, the Zhonglu Mountains, where the Zhonglu Sect exists, can faintly be seen.It's a long distance, but a line of tall trees joins the two mountains.The scent of pine leaves drifted in, filling his lungs as Eadric Rong entered the Pine Cloud Forest.A mystical and somber atmosphere immediately enveloped him. He felt small as he walked under the canopy of pine needles, which looked like a green tapestry."May fortune be on my side. I am in debt to my kind master. There's no way I can let down his trust in me!"Eadric Rong was determined to get his quarry, which was just one demonic creature, no matter what.When it was dusk and the sky was reddening, he didn't see any forest creatures, and disappointment set in."Am I unlucky again? Why hasn't a single demon

    The sun was already directly overhead, and Eadric Rong was getting further into the heart of the Pine Cloud Forest. Since he had obtained the Pearl Core and his cultivation level was at the late Jade Tiger Level, Eadric Rong's instincts had become sharp."I smell the scent of an approaching demonic creature. It looks like this is a demonic creature in the Shadowclaw Tier," Eadric Rong hissed happily.There are eight levels of power for demonic creatures. Shadowclaw is a sinister creature whose combat power is at the lowest level.GRRR!In front of Eadric Rong stood a shaggy wolf. It was jet black.The demonic creature was about two meters tall. Its eyes blazed like the light of a night star, while its mouth was open, displaying pointed teeth with dripping saliva."Black Wolf, Shadowclaw level!" hissed Eadric Rong smilingly.The Xingying sword was instantly unsheathed.Eadric Rong's face didn't look scared in the slightest. Instead, he spoke with a sinister expression on his face. "Com

    "Hey, kid! That's our demon creature. Ever since Zhonglu Mountain, we've been hunting that Demon Wolf! Now you can leave; let us finish our work to extract resources from that thing!"A twelve-year-old teenager, looking ruffled at the waist.He wore a white robe, the typical uniform of a disciple of the Zhonglu Sect. As one of the largest white sects, the Zhonglu and Wudang Sect played an essential role in the Xiao Yao Dynasty. Both sects were located in the Wriston (Moon River) Kingdom.The Zhonglu Sect does have a strong influence, but the Wudang Sect is the leader of the white sect.The boy laughed mockingly with an undeniably haughty tone. However, he was not alone. Two of his friends, the same age as him, stood behind him, giving him support by acting cocky. They laughed, the smiles seemingly mocking Eadric Rong.In the hands of the three, the Xingying Tier swords glittered sharply in the sunlight. They tried to bully Eadric Rong, joining the intimidation attack that flashed thro

    "I suggest it again! Go, leave this place. Otherwise, you'll regret it later!"In such a moment of warning, the sword held by Jesper Jiang had been filled with energy. Likewise, the swords carried by Sun Peng and Gao Jie were filled with pure air.Their swords were pointed at Eadric Rong. A thin white vapor could be heard surrounding their bodies.This was a sword art, the Elementary Level Sword Formation, which was the pride of the disciples in the Zhonglu Sect court.However, Eadric Rong remained calm."Even if the three of them use the Sword Formation technique, I'm still confident," Eadric Rong thought. He directed ninety percent of the pure air from his energy center point to the Xingying sword in his hand. The entire sword changed color to shine.Seeing that the opponent they thought was just an ordinary disciple could actually flow pure air into his sword, Jesper Jiang gave instructions firmly."Looks like you have a bit of skill. Worthy of sparring against us! Now, feel the po

    The three Zhonglu Sect youngsters were unable to stop their attack. A wave of tremendous power suddenly hit their bodies, floating towards Eadric Rong.BAM!The three youngsters were bounced backwards, dragged about twenty meters backwards with a rustling sound as they dragged on the ground. They were slammed hard, causing vibrations as their bodies hit the rocks. With every rolling motion, there was blood flowing from their mouths.Hoeks!After that, silence fell. They lay motionless as if their lives were already facing the king of hell.Eadric Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a gasping breath. "I almost died. But if they didn't die, it would have been me!"He stared at the three frozen figures with a strange, haunting feeling. This was the first time Eadric Rong had been involved in a massacre. Unfortunately, this act was done out of necessity, and as such, a bit of guilt was settling in his heart."I must bury the three of them so that no one can detect them. If this is

    Eadric Rong's shadow quickly disappeared; this is between feeling embarrassed and a little offended.Tangshan City, although small, was, in fact, quite developed and prosperous. Moreover, two mountains—Wudang and Zhonglu—stood on the left and right sides of the city. On those mountains, renowned martial experts from all over the country practiced as Cultivators.Business transactions in the city were plentiful, and the trade in tools, weapons, and vigor pills was very popular.All these tools are easy to find in Tangshan, as long as you have the money.In front of the Twilight Dew Shop, Eadric Rong stood waiting for another customer transaction. The shop owner, Errol Hou, was serving the first customer.When the first customer left, Errol Hou gave Eadric Rong a friendly look. "Aren't you a child of the Wudang Sect? The teenager who owes me the Xingying sword. Was your hunt successful?"Errol Hou's question was whether Eadric Rong had managed to get the demonic beast quarry as he had p

    The sun had tilted to the west. The sky above the Cloud Pine forest looked reddish. The Zhonglu Sect elder - Celeste Chen, had been pacing back and forth in the area where the aura of the former battle between Eadric Rong and the three Zhonglu Sect children had been. It seemed that he was searching for something restlessly.His face was contorted, looking full of worry. "Wretched twelve. If something happens to Jesper Jiang, the deputy sect leader may be furious."Celeste Chen didn't initially agree that Jesper Jiang should join the Shadowclaw hunting mission in the Cloud Pine forest. He daydreamed, remembering the few days before today's incident."You don't need to come. This is not a playful mission. Hunting a tier-one demonic creature is extremely dangerous. It's life at stake!" Celeste Chen said to Jesper Jiang at the beginning of the group's departure.Elder Celeste Chen thought this Jesper Jiang kid was too rash.In all likelihood, the mission that was supposed to be looking fo

    Still thinking happily, he had not yet started meditating. "According to Elder Kyron Mo, the best time to gather energy is when the moon is full. It's said that it's the best time for the energy to match the pure air energy in my pearl core," Eadric Rong thought happily.The night breeze blew softly. Eadric Rong closed his eyes and began to absorb all the energy around him. Cold energy faintly stirred in his dan tian as the moonlight fell on his body. He didn't realize that he looked so mysterious and mystical!The night was getting late when Eadric Rong started shivering from the cold.At that moment, his dantian began to churn thoroughly and was about to burst with cold energy. Until one day, he complained softly, and his face resigned. At that time, an explosion occurred within his dantian, and all the energy would flow into the meridians.One minute... two minutes... and finally!An explosion occurred inside his body.Eadric Rong was wide-eyed when, at the same time as the explosi

    The soldier also announced in a stern tone, his voice no less loud than the man in the red robe."After the Young Dragon ranking list is issued by the Qingxue party, the Emperor cordially invites all young geniuses, ranked first to ten, to attend a banquet in the palace. On that occasion, the grand prize will be handed over directly by His Majesty!"Eadric Rong, who was already seated in the invited guest seat, not far from Ouyang Fai, returned his gaze to his new friend.He felt curious, wanting to know more about the organization that had just been mentioned. In a low voice, he asked Ouyang Fai who sat beside him, his voice barely audible in the din of the crowd."Brother Ouyang, what exactly is the Qingxue Organization?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes narrowing slightly, indicating how seriously he wanted to know.Ouyang Fai smiled slightly, his eyes twinkling as if he was enjoying the moment of sharing his knowledge."Qingxue Peak, a secret organization located on the highest peak of

  • Hundred Swords, One Victor.

    However, in the face of such ferocity, Eadric Rong remained calm, even looking like an immovable iceberg. With a subtle yet determined gesture, he pulled out the rombengan sword from the umbrella he always carried with him."Ferris Wheel Sword!" he exclaimed, with a tone that echoed throughout the arena.In an instant, an enormous energy containing the power of Sword Intention shot out from the sword sweep in Eadric Rong's hand.The energy seemed to split the air, forming a giant screen that emitted a deadly aura. From that screen, a hundred shadow swords were created, shooting out at lightning speed.Some of the swords formed a solid fortress of defense, while others attacked relentlessly, piercing the air with a loud roar, targeting the sweeping waves of the Ocean Rattling Fan launched by Bao Xuan.TRANG - TRANG! The sound of the clash rang out loudly, like the clanking of metals engaged in a deadly battle.Bao Xuan tried to shield himself with his fan, but the hundred sword energie

  • Fan Meets Hidden Master.

    Bao Xuan paused at one of the steps, his gaze fixed on a soldier in armor sitting tall on the saddle of a Flying Horse—Suiji Ma. With a haughty wave of his hand, Bao Xuan called out to the soldier, as if he were a master giving orders to his subordinates."Lord rider Suiji Ma, let's quickly bring here the grand prize, Zhen Long Pill. I've won, why are you holding it back and sitting back waiting for the order to give the prize?" Bao Xuan's tone contained mockery, without a trace of respect.Bao Xuan's rude and arrogant attitude was clearly disrespectful to the Jin Shuang Empire. He had just won a competition against the geniuses of this country, yet behaved as if he was the leader of the martial world.The anger in the audience grew, like a fire doused in oil, and curse after curse came out of their mouths, venting their deep dislike for Bao Xuan.However, Bao Xuan simply laughed at their reactions. A cold laugh that shook the air, as if he thought the entire world was just a toy in h

  • Contempt Before the Storm.

    Bao Xuan's words were truly hurtful, scratching the pride of everyone who heard them. The faces around began to turn red, anger creeping through the crowd, yet no one dared to step forward.Among them, there were old heroes, respected leaders of major sects, but they were silent.The martial world has its own rules—young people's affairs and conflicts should not be interfered with by their elders. After all, this Dragon Competition was the brainchild of the Empire, a venue to recruit new blood that would strengthen the prestige of the Jin Shuang Empire in the eyes of the Longhai Continent world.However, Bao Xuan looked more and more haughty, overconfidence exuding from his every move.When he realized that no one was speaking out against him, and no young men dared to take the stage to challenge him, Bao Xuan began to speak more than he should."Brothers of the Jin Shuang Empire martial world, I Bao Xuan, a wandering cultivator, have humbly come all the way from the Tian Yun Empire j

    Most put down as much as 50 gold tails for Zhou Wen's victory, believing that the young genius was invincible. However, with a faint smile, Eadric Rong put down some money for Bao Xuan's victory.The reproachful stares of bystanders did not shake his confidence. He just shrugged casually and said,"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if the whole city was betting on Zhou Wen's victory? Why don't we make it a little more balanced?"That answer, in a tone full of common sense, made several people who heard it nod in agreement.Some of those with more money eventually decided to follow Eadric Rong's lead, placing bets on Bao Xuan's victory, although the number in favor of Zhou Wen remained far greater.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.The morning sun emerged from behind the horizon, its faint rays trying to penetrate the chill of the season, as if to give a little warmth to the sprawling Imperial grounds.The morning air was still lingering with coolness, creating a light mist that shro

  • The Arena Holds Its Breath.

    This thought made his heart beat hard. If true, wouldn't this mean that there were more intruders from the Tian Yu Empire among them, who mingled with the locals undetected?However, although his gaze scanned every corner of the crowd, Ouyang Fai did not find anyone suspicious. The anxiety in his heart slowly turned into deeper worry when his attention returned to the stage.There, a fierce battle was taking place. Bao Xuan faced off against Fang Rui, the number two genius of the Golden Sword Sect.Fang Rui, with his lightning-sharp sword, created a golden-colored energy scroll that spun at the speed of a hurricane.Each of Fang Rui's attacks was a deliberate attempt to penetrate Bao Xuan's defenses, which stood firm as a rock, protected by the Ocean Troubler Fan Style.Meanwhile, Fang Rui's demeanor showed great vigilance. His eyes kept an eye on Bao Xuan's left hand, knowing how deadly the Eight Hand God Style hidden there was.At first, the battle seemed evenly matched, two geniuse

    On the other hand, with his right hand, Bao Xuan spread his fan wide.SWING!The fan spun gracefully, emitting a rumbling sound similar to a raging ocean wave, as if bringing terror from the depths of the sea. The sound made the hairs stand up, and the vibrations were felt all the way to the bone.Suddenly, an invisible wall appeared before Bao Xuan, blocking dozens of Li Yong's sword thrusts that had previously seemed unstoppable.TRANG - TRANG - TRANG!The sound of the sword clashing with the energy wall was loud, deafening. Sparks ignited in the air, filling the atmosphere with a mesmerizing and thrilling sparkle.On the other hand, Li Yong's hands shook violently, almost losing his grip on his sword. Fear began to creep into his heart when he realized, "Bao Xuan's true energy power is far above mine!"Li Yong's face instantly paled, the realization of the opponent's greatness coming too late. However, the opportunity to retreat or defend was already tightly closed.Bao Xuan, calml

  • Victory’s Edge, Fate’s Turn.

    "Long live Li Yong!" "Long live Xue Hua Academy!" "Cultivator Jin Shuang will definitely win!" "Get that intruder!"The thunderous cheers of thousands of spectators electrified the arena, relentlessly encouraging their hero, Li Yong. The voices were like an unstoppable ocean wave, filling the air with an energy that almost seemed to resonate in the chest of anyone who heard it.Amongst the roar, the sect leaders, both from the Four Star Sect to the Five Star Sect, only nodded slowly, as if victory was already entrenched in Li Yong's hands.Their gazes were full of confidence, as if there was no other possibility than the glory of Xue Hua Academy."Xuehua Academy is not a mere empty name! There's no way Li Yong can lose to that young man who's just a street cultivator like Bao Xuan!" Wang Yunzhong, the leader of Xuehua Academy, whispered softly.Although his voice was only a whisper, the true energy he used made his voice clearly audible throughout the main stage. His words cut through

    "Isn't it possible that the Zhen Long pill, the grand prize we're after, will be brought in by an expert from the neighboring Empire. That would tarnish the face of all the cultivators of this country!" worried murmurs could be heard from various directions.Meanwhile, on the other side, the Five Star Sect seats that were filled with an aura of majesty seemed to flinch. Even so, dissatisfaction was clearly visible in their eyes. Everyone there was angry, though restrained themselves very well."Should I go forward?" Zhou Wen, the young genius of the Blue Sky Sect, asked quietly to his Sect Leader, Liang Tiancheng. The look in his eyes signaled his readiness to act."No need," Liang Tiancheng replied, his voice firm. "There are still four other Five Star Sects ranked below you. Stay in your seat, show your attitude as a supreme power holder."Zhou Wen nodded, accepting the order with humility. Although his desire to advance was strong, he still respected his leader's decision.With thi
