Before the man with the hammer could even process what had just happened to his weapon, the blade Qi that Kai had redirected was already upon him.

He didn’t have time to reposition, to even defend properly and didn’t even have time to curse.

The attack hit him squarely in the chest.

The impact was clean and deep, the sharp Qi slicing through his defenses like they weren’t even there. His body jerked violently from the strike, and a burst of blood followed immediately as the cut opened across hi

  • 597: The One You Don’t Interrupt

    No matter how much they tried to move, the four men simply couldn’t.At first, it felt like resistance, like their bodies were just a little slower than usual, like the air had thickened around them and was pushing back against every movement they made, but within the span of a single breath, that feeling escalated into something far more terrifying. Their limbs locked completely, their muscles refusing to obey, their Qi collapsing every time they tried to circulate it, and it didn’t matter how much force they used or how violently they pushed, nothing responded. It was as if something invisible had taken hold of their entire existence and frozen it in place.One of them gritted his teeth, veins bulging at his neck as he forced his arm to move, but it didn’t budge, not even slightly, and the more he tried, the worse it felt, like his strength was being swallowed the moment it surfaced. Another tried to release his aura outward, hoping to break whatever was binding him, but the energ

  • 596: Poisoned

    Kai’s thoughts were still racing, trying to piece everything together, when a voice rang out from behind him, sharp and mocking, cutting straight through the tension that had built around the chase.“So…” one of the men called out, his tone laced with amusement, “not regenerating anymore?”The words weren’t loud but they landed heavily Kai didn’t turn immediately, but his expression darkened slightly, because that single sentence confirmed everything he had just realized. This wasn’t just damage. It wasn’t just pressure from the fight. There was something in their attacks that was deliberate and designed to break him down from the inside.Behind him, the four closed the distance quickly, their speed steady, controlled now, no longer reckless or blinded by anger like before. Their earlier rage had cooled, replaced by something far more dangerous and confidence.They had figured it out or rather they had always known.From the distance, Abigail and Emily’s expressions changed at the s

  • 595: Something Is Wrong

    The moment Kai turned and fled, the entire battlefield shifted again, but this time, it wasn’t confusion that filled the air, it was disbelief. The other old men who had been watching from a distance froze where they stood, their expressions changing as they watched Kai’s retreating figure with narrowed eyes, trying to understand what they were seeing.“he’s running?” one of them muttered, unable to hide the surprise in his tone.Another frowned deeply, his gaze locked onto Kai’s back as he shook his head slightly. “No… that’s not it.”Because what they saw didn’t feel like panic nor did it feel like defeat.Even injured, even chased by four Unity Dao experts, Kai’s movement didn’t carry the desperation of someone trying to escape death. It was too controlled, deliberate and calculated.“he’s planning something again,” another said quietly, his voice low, and almost cautious.That realization alone made the atmosphere shift once more, because if everything that had happened so far wa

  • 594: Running on a Knife’s Edge

    The moment Kai was thrown back and the dust rose around him, Abigail and Emily froze for a heartbeat, not because they didn’t want to move, but because what they felt in that instant hit harder than anything they had experienced in the fight so far. Their expressions tightened immediately, their eyes locking onto Kai’s figure as he struggled to regain balance, and the sight of blood on him stirred something sharp and dangerous in their chests.It wasn’t fear or panic but pure cold and burning anger that was controlled only by the thin thread of trust they still held in Kai.Abigail’s grip tightened around her sword, her knuckles whitening slightly as her breathing deepened, eyes darkening in a way that made it clear she was one step away from throwing everything aside and charging forward without thinking. Her lips parted slightly, like she wanted to call out, to say something, anything, but she stopped herself, because she knew if she spoke now, she might lose that control complete

  • 593: One Second Faster

    The silence didn’t last and shattered almost instantly.The moment the invaders fully processed what had just happened, the shock in their eyes twisted into something darker and hotter, and then it exploded into pure rage. Their auras surged violently, the air around them trembling as killing intent flooded the battlefield, thick and suffocatin and no longer restrained or controlled.“You...!”One of them roared, his voice cracking with fury as he stepped forward, his gaze locking onto Kai like he wanted to tear him apart piece by piece.“You dare..!”Another didn’t even finish his words before charging, his body flashing forward recklessly, his earlier composure completely gone as he attacked without thinking, his movements sharp but lacking the precision they had before.They had lost it exactly as Kai expected.Kai smirked.“Good,” he thought calmly.This was what he wanted.Not their strength or their formation but their anger because anger broke rhythm.Anger killed calculation

  • 592: Collapse in a Breath

    For a fraction of a second after Kai said that single word, everything froze, not because anyone understood what he meant, but because the calm in his voice didn’t match the situation at all, and that contradiction alone made everyone pause. The invaders who had been laughing moments ago still had their smiles on their faces, the old men who had been watching still stood with folded arms, and even those fighting were caught in that strange stillness, like the world itself had skipped a beat.Then it happened, not outwardly or with a loud explosion but from within.A very violent surge of wild energy erupted inside five bodies all at once, the delayed force Kai had planted earlier detonating in perfect timing, tearing through their internal Qi flow, rupturing meridians, crushing organs, and sending shockwaves through their bodies that none of them had prepared for. It wasn’t something that could be blocked anymore at all, not something they could react to, because by the time they re
