The moment Jian bolted, Kai didn’t hesitate for even half a breath as he also took off.

He did not jog or even test the ground. He exploded forward, his body moving purely on instinct, every muscle screaming the same answer Jian had already reached... this was not a place to stand and think.

Abigail reacted a split second later, her eyes widening as she realized Jian never ran without reason. Ever. The girls snapped out of their shock almost violently, panic finally punching through their disbelief, and then they were all running, hard, fast and ugly.

Dust flew, stones cracked beneath their feet and the techniques flared to life one after another as everyone threw dignity out the window.

And somehow... somehow, despite all their strength and powerful techniques, Kai was already in front.

Not just ahead of the girls but even ahead of Jian, way ahead of everyone.

The girls noticed it almost immediately and nearly choked on their own breaths.

“H-how is he...?!”

“He’s not even using a t

  • 338: Three Mouths, One Nightmare

    The thing standing before them was not just a beast, it was horror given flesh.Three massive heads rose from a single colossal body, each neck thick and corded with muscle, scales layered beneath fur that looked deceptively soft yet radiated a pressure so heavy it crushed the air around it. Its eyes burned with different shades of malice, one crimson, one sickly yellow, one abyssal black, each locking onto the group with intelligence that was far too sharp for comfort.Thick drool spilled from its jaws, sizzling when it hit the ground, eating into stone as if the earth itself was nothing more than meat waiting to be chewed. Its breath came out in low, thunderous growls that vibrated through bones and organs, making the weaker disciples feel like their insides were shaking loose.Fear hit some of them and then the beast moved.There was no warning, no buildup and in less than a second, one of its massive paws blurred forward, the air exploding with a sonic boom as claws the size of sw

  • 363: The Vault Was Also Taken.

    The girls stiffened and very slowly, like prey realizing the predator had just noticed something else to eat.“What… what do you mean by that?” Luna asked cautiously, already backing away one step.Rina swallowed hard. “Kai… you’re not thinking of doing what I think you’re thinking of doing… right?”Tina’s brows knitted tightly. “This vault has already been emptied. There’s no need to...”Kai turned around with a perfectly innocent smile, one hand rubbing the smooth metallic wall of the vault like a craftsman admiring a rare treasure.“Oh, I don’t mean anything,” he said lightly. “I’m just stating a fact.”That did absolutely nothing to calm them, he tapped the iron again, listening to the deep, resonant sound it made.“This iron,” Kai continued, voice calm but eyes gleaming faintly, “is extremely valuable. High purity. Dense structure. Stable. Resistant to corrosion. Whoever forged this knew what they were doing.”The girls exchanged looks of pure dread.“And?” Selene asked carefully

  • 362: Greed Infested Parasite

    The moment Kai said that, in that calm, relaxed tone of his, every single person in the group froze and it was not figuratively but literally.Like a sculptor had just painted them mid-panic.Luna's jaw fell open, Selene blinked rapidly, waiting for Kai to laugh and say he was joking and Rina clutched her newly acquired treasure like Kai might suddenly rob her.Tina stared at Kai as if trying to determine whether he was a human or a well-dressed demon.Even Jian’s usually calm expression twitched and Abigail pinched the bridge of her nose.“Kai,” she said slowly. “What… do you mean… by ‘kept safely’?”Kai looked at them and then at the vault and then at the mountain of treasure.And sighed like he was disappointed they didn’t understand the obvious truth.“I mean,” he said patiently, “we’re going to keep the treasures safely.”No movement, or breathing, they all just stared blankly as if the entire air supply of the room paused to ask... Sir? Are you okay?Abigail’s eyebrow twitched.

  • 361: The Demolition Duo

    Kai’s grin did not fade, in fact, the longer he grinned, the wider it became, it was the kind of grin that made grown men regret having fathers.The kind of grin that made entire sects start drafting evacuation plans and the group stared at him with stiff shoulders and fearful eyes but they soon snapped out of it. Luna whispered, “He’s smiling like a villain…”Rina added, “Like someone who just remembered he left the stove on for five years.”Even Tina stepped back half a step but Abigail simply crossed her arms and sighed because she already knew that whatever came out of Kai’s mouth next would NOT be normal.Kai lifted his chin proudly and then asked, with a straight face, “Alright. Which one of you brought a sledgehammer?”Silence fell over the group, the group stared at him like he had just asked who brought a wedding cake to a battlefield.Selene blinked rapidly. “Sledge… hammer?”Luna whispered, scandalized, “Why would we bring something like that?!”Tina frowned deeply. “Kai…

  • 360: His Grin.

    Kai walked back into the damn house again, pushing aside a broken plank with his foot as if it personally offended him. He didn’t rush or speak. He moved with that quiet, deadly patience he always had whenever he sensed something was wrong or something hidden.He ran his fingers along the cracked beams, tapped the walls, scraped the floor lightly with his boots and even crouched to inspect the gaps between stones but still nothing.Not a flicker of energy, not a single formation mark and not one suspicious stone, crack, herb, shadow or anything.He exhaled sharply.Behind him, the girls were already dragging their feet like dying chickens. They had helped him tear down half the house earlier, and now even breathing felt like labor.When Kai stepped out again, they all groaned dramatically.Luna went first, “My legs are gone… gone! If I stand up now, only my soul will rise.”Rina mouthed, “If he says ‘check the roof,’ I swear I will chew this house instead of climbing it.”Selene mumbl
