ASCENSION OF THE MARTIAL KING 19
The rope lifted them, trapping them to the branch of a very tall tree. Several loud noises also accompanied their movement, and it came from a couple of iron bells that were tied together at the bottom of the snare trap.Zhang Wei looked down dumbfounded. "Well, what a new perspective this is.""What... what's going on?" Huang Zhen cried out in alarm and grabbed Zhang Wei's arm."We are trapped," Zhang Wei muttered calmly once he was over his initial speechlessness. "Your leg caught a snare trap, and we were pulled upside down by it.""Oh. How do we get down from here?" Huang Zhen asked offhandedly, trying to calm down. But when he tried to look down, he realized how tall they were hung and screamed. Zhang Wei chuckled at his reaction but tried to dig his hand into his sleeve. "I think I still have my knife here. I'll cut the rope off and jump down."But due to their posture, he was unable to reach in and could only turn to Huang Zhen, who was scared out of his wits beside him. "Hel

Once he barged in, the two people inside looked alarmed to see him. Zhang Lei coughed, seeing that he had been caught while his mother looked restless and worried."Wei'er," she called out. "Come, your father wants to talk to you."Zhang Wei eyed the man seated on the high chair while his mother sat on the floor. "We have nothing to talk about."She looked restless and tried to persuade, "Your father said it will be dangerous for you to go to that place. You don't have any cultivation. What if...""That was what he told you?" Zhang Wei scoffed, glancing at Zhang Lei. "You sure are rather leisurely spinning fear into the heart of a weak woman, 'Father.'"This time, the word 'father' was rather fluid to say albeit it was full of sarcasm."What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Lei was about to yell at him.But Zhang Wei paid him no heed and reached out to help his mother from the futon before turning to Zhang Lei. "Tomorrow is the trial day, and you can't sit still anymore, can yo

It was Huang Zhen. "Zhang Wei, are you ready to leave too? Come over and ride along with me." He waved excitedly. Zhang Wei was surprised to see him, but he nodded and approached him. Chen Lan and her kids stood there watching as Zhang Wei entered the big carriage and soon disappeared from sight. It was only after they were gone that Zhang Ming peeped from the carriage and murmured, "Mother, is that not the Huang family's peony insignia on the carriage. How did that... that little bastard knows someone from the Huang family?" Chen Lan was still surprised, but she soon composed herself. "How can that be? Even your father has to go through a friend to meet the Huang family elder. How can someone like him know anyone from there?" Zhang Ming seemed to think her words feasible and nodded. "Maybe I saw it wrongly." "Yes..okay hurry up and get going now. You have to get to the boundary before noon." In the carriage, Zhang Wei gave a small anicker seeing their reactions before resting

Just then, they heard him yell loudly from behind them, "Fuck, run!" The two glanced at the figure cloaked in black that was about to launch an attack at them and instantly made a run for it, following the route Zhang Wei took. "Fuck, who was that!?" Huang Zhen bellowed. "He doesn't seem to be chasing after us," Liang Feixing suddenly chimed in as he looked back. The figure was no longer behind them and it was like he didn't appear in the first place. They stopped running for a moment to look. But just then, they noticed that another figure cloaked in black attacked the two boys coming from the side. "They're not targeting us specifically." Liaang Feixing observed. "Then, what do they want!?" "Who knows?" Zhang Wei responded. "They're not basic level martial artists. Let's not stay to find out how strong they are." "Okay." And so, they began to run through the thickets, witnessing as several other contestants were being attacked left and right. It was rather chaotic and th

Zhang Wei looked at the innumerable faces around him, stupefied. They were all tied up in groups of twos and three like them. Before he could grasp the situation, he heard someone mutter, “Damn… this little bastard was also brought here. Serves you right!” The voice was rather familiar, so he looked over and saw that it was his stepbrother, Zhang Ming. When he saw Zhang Wei looking over, he snorted, “What are you looking at!?” “Who are these bastards kidnapping everyone,” He continued swearing. “When is that arrogant little shit, Zhang Jun going to be brought here? They better bring him, too. Fuck, I’m so angry!” As he spoke, he continued to kick his legs angrily, straining the person who was tied together with him. When Zhang Wei looked over, he saw that it was the fatty, Zhang Nie who was being dragged along with him and was clearly fed up. “Second Brother… stop moving. I can’t breathe.” “Shut up!” Zhang Ming barked at him and then, continued to grumble. It was a rather comical

"Clang!"The shrill sound of swords clashing resonated through the grounds of the sandy mountain as several flashes of light collided, forcing Zhang Wei to stagger backward. In the chaos, dust and sand swirled in the air, carried by the brisk night breeze. With a deft motion, Zhang Wei's sleeve twirled as he raised an arm to regain his balance.Simultaneously, nine figures clad in diverse-colored robes descended upon the mountain, brandishing gleaming swords aimed squarely at him."Zhang Wei, today is your last day. You must leave your life here!" one of the men declared with conviction, all their expressions alert.Another swiftly added, "You practice forbidden arts, against Lingfeng Peak's rules. We shall eradicate you to keep the world safe."Zhang Wei, initially silent, looked up at this, his gaze chilly as it settled on the group. His voice was fluid and brisk, yet his tone carried a shallow sense of arrogance as he spoke, "You? Do you dare!?"As he spoke, Zhang Wei twirled his w

Fènghuáng Temple."Second Brother, are you sure about this? What if someone finds out we did it?" "What are you talking about? As long as you and I don't talk about it, who will know it was us?"The night breeze was rather chilly, and the moon had receded behind the dark clouds—a sign of impending rain. But its dim light shone on the roads, illuminating two youthful male figures as they sneaked into the courtyard of the old temple. One of them was quite chubby and carrying a sack over his shoulder, while the other was fit and slender.The temple was not ancient; however, it had been abandoned for quite a long time with no caretaker, so a lot of grass had grown and lots of leaves had fallen from the wide magnolia tree in the middle of the courtyard. The sound of dry leaves scattered over the floorboards, crushing under their moving feet, was sharp in the otherwise silent night."Quick, Third Brother," the slender youth spoke, grabbing the handle of the doorknob. "Just dump him somewhe

When Zhang Wei arrived at the manor following the memories in his head, he was not surprised to see the crowd gathered there. From the memories of the original host, his father had ascended to the seventh grade, which was why a party was being held.Zhang Wei remembered that when he was attacked on the mountains by Qin Shou and those nine cultivators, Zhang Lei was among them, and he was still in the sixth grade. From his assessment of their powers back then, none of them seemed to have reached the apex of the sixth grade yet. How could he have suddenly ascended to the seventh grade?He had an inkling regarding why but pushed it to the back of his mind as he entered. He intended to bypass the crowd and go to the apartment where the host and his mother lived. But he hadn't even entered the courtyard when his path was blocked.Zhang Wei halted in his steps, a cold glint flickering past his eyes for a second as he lazily raised his head to look at the intruder. It was a youth about the s
