In mere seconds, they moved like shadows. Black 5 attacked the guard on the left with swift precision, striking his neck and causing him to collapse without making a sound. He Lian fired an arrow at the guard on the right, dropping him to the ground.

Zhi Hao darted into the center of the camp, his sword gleaming as he slashed at a guard attempting to resist. “Don’t let anyone escape!” he shouted.

A few guards tried to flee, but Black 3 and Black 5 intercepted them with ease. Within moments, the camp fell silent, leaving only one trembling man encircled at the center.

Zhi Hao approached the man, his sharp gaze piercing through him. “Who sent you? What are you planning here?”

The man shook his head, his body trembling in fear. “I... I’m just a guard... I don’t know anything!”

Black 5, already losing patience, kicked the man, sending him sprawling to the ground. “Do you think we’ll believe that nonsense? Speak up before I break your arms!”

The man sobbed in terror. “Alright! Alright! I’l

    Amid the tense atmosphere at the Ling Clan’s residence, Ling Zhen decided to take a drastic step. Standing in the main hall, surrounded by the clan elders awaiting his orders with bated breath, he broke the silence. “The situation is spiraling out of control,” Ling Zhen said firmly. “We’ve lost control over key territories, and the Eastern Shadows are pressing us relentlessly. Zhi Hao and the Huai Clan can’t be underestimated either. The only way to secure the Ling Clan’s survival is to ally with the Grey Sky Sect.” The first elder nodded in agreement. “This is a wise move, Patriarch. The Grey Sky Sect wields immense power. With their protection, we can at least withstand the Shadows’ assault.” The third elder, a sharp-eyed man with graying hair, added, “But what price will they demand? The Grey Sky Sect never acts without a substantial benefit.” Ling Zhen sighed, his face hardening. “I’ve considered that. If we must cede some territory or resources, it’s a fair price to pay fo

    Zhi Hao left the grand hall of the Huai Clan with steady steps. Outside, He Lian waited with a serious expression.“What’s the result, Master?”Zhi Hao glanced at the imposing gates of the Huai Clan, his gaze sharp and calculated.“Huai Yan agreed to hold his ground and fortify their defenses. It’s enough for now. But this is just the beginning.”He Lian nodded and handed him a small scroll from his pocket.“This is the latest intel from Black 5. It seems the Grey Sky Sect has accelerated their weapon shipments. There’s a chance the Eastern Shadows are forcing them to move faster.”Zhi Hao unrolled the scroll and quickly absorbed the details. A cold smile formed on his lips.“If they’re rushing, it means they’re starting to feel cornered. Good. We’ll strike at their weakest point.”That night, Zhi Hao summoned his team for a secret meeting at a small cabin outside the Huai Clan’s territory.“Black 4,” he called.Black 4, sitting quietly in the corner, stood up straight.“Ready, Master

    The sound of clashing weapons echoed loudly as the burly man launched a ferocious attack against Zhi Hao. The room shook with every strike of the man's massive weapon, leaving cracks on the floor and walls. Zhi Hao, moving with incredible agility, continued to dodge."Fast, but that won't be enough!" the man roared, leaping forward in an attempt to crush Zhi Hao with a heavy swing.Zhi Hao calmly sidestepped, twisting his body gracefully. With a precise yet powerful motion, he slashed his sword across his opponent's shoulder, causing the man to stagger backward as blood flowed from the wound."Who are you, really?" Zhi Hao asked coldly.The man grinned despite his pain. "Just another pawn, like the rest. But my job is to make sure you don’t leave here alive."Elsewhere in the room, Black 4 and Black 5 were locked in battle with a group of masked men who seemed well-trained. The clanging of weapons and war cries filled the air."Master, we need to eliminate them quickly. This noise wil

    The sky began to redden as dawn broke, but exhaustion had yet to touch Zhi Hao and his team. They arrived at a remote hillside marked on the map, seemingly a secret rendezvous point for the Shadow Eastern organization.He Lian spread the map over a large stone, pointing at one of the symbols. “This point should be one of their small bases. But we don’t know how many people are inside or how tightly guarded it is.”Black 4 scrutinized the map closely. “If they know we took documents from the warehouse, they’ve likely increased their defenses here.”“Even better,” Zhi Hao replied emotionlessly. “We’ll keep them busy here while I infiltrate the interior.”“Master, it’s too risky for you to go in alone,” Black 5 protested.“I’m not asking for your permission,” Zhi Hao replied firmly. “Black 4, you and He Lian will create a diversion on the western side. Black 5, cover the eastern side. Don’t let anyone escape.”“Understood,” they responded in unison.Zhi Hao moved like a shadow, utilizing

    In the Ling Clan, Patriarch Ling furrowed his brows as he read Zhi Hao’s message. “Zhi Hao wants us to join him? How dare he threaten the Ling Clan!”An elder beside him tried to calm him down. “Patriarch, our situation is dire. The Eastern Shadows are pressing hard on our territory. If we don’t act, we might truly be destroyed.”Ling Yuan sighed deeply. “I dislike being coerced, but I won’t let the Ling Clan fall. Prepare an envoy. We’ll discuss terms with the Zhi Clan.”Meanwhile, in the Huai Clan, Patriarch Huai reacted differently. He chuckled softly after reading the message. “Zhi Hao is bold, but he’s not wrong.”One of the elders hesitated. “Patriarch, must we truly ally with them? The Huai Clan has its pride.”Huai Yan placed the letter on the table, his gaze serious. “Pride means nothing if we’re dead. Send a reply to Zhi Hao. Tell him the Huai Clan is willing to hear his offer. Let’s see how he plans to ensure our safety.”At the Zhi Clan’s stronghold, Zhi Hao sat in the mai

    The night was dark, with no moonlight illuminating the sky. A cold wind blew softly, carrying the scent of an impending battle. Zhi Hao stood on a small hill, observing the battlefield that would mark the first stage of his strategy. Behind him, Black 1 and Black 4 reported the readiness of their forces.“Infiltration teams are in position,” Black 1 reported firmly.“The main forces of the Ling and Huai Clans are also moving towards their targets,” added Black 4.Zhi Hao nodded, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Good. We proceed as planned.”The Ling Clan’s AssaultIn the northeast, the night was eerily silent, as if the world held its breath for the unfolding events. Ling Yuan, with his sword sheathed at his waist, personally led the operation. Ahead of them lay the Eastern Shadow’s Armory, fortified with layered defenses and dozens of well-equipped guards.“We must move quickly and silently,” Ling Yuan whispered, signaling his team.Thanks to the Zhi Clan’s infiltration unit, a small

    The western sky was tinged with the orange hues of dusk as Zhi Hao’s forces stormed the outer defenses of the Shadow East’s strategic headquarters. Screams and the clash of weapons filled the air, accompanied by the occasional blast as the Purple Sky Sect warriors broke through enemy lines with their energy techniques."Master, the outer defenses are down, but the barrier formation is active!" He Lian reported, pointing at the bright blue glow encircling the main building.Zhi Hao observed the barrier with sharp eyes. "As expected. Black 1, you know what to do.""Understood, Master!" Black 1 led the formation-breaking team, slipping around the building’s perimeter in search of the formation’s core.Suddenly, cheers erupted from the enemy. The Shadow East forces poured out of the headquarters, led by a cold-faced man wielding a massive spear that radiated a sinister aura."Zhi Hao!" the man shouted defiantly. "How dare you step foot here! Do you think you can destroy us so easily?"Zhi

    The night sky was pitch black, mirroring the looming threat about to unfold. Zhi Hao stood firm amidst the ruins of the Eastern Shadow’s base, his breaths heavy from the fierce battle. The wielder of the Dark Sword lay lifeless at his feet, yet the battlefield still bristled with tension.Suddenly, the ground began to tremble. This vibration wasn’t caused by marching troops but by something far greater—a force so immense it made the very air grow heavy.“This… this isn’t normal pressure,” murmured He Lian, his face pale.From the darkness, a figure emerged. He walked slowly, yet each step shook the ground, creating a pressure that forced many of the Zhi Clan soldiers to their knees. The man was tall and muscular, cloaked in black robes adorned with golden patterns that shimmered like stars. In his hand was a massive dark sword, its blade seemingly devouring all light around it.“Zhi Hao,” the man’s voice was deep and resonant, like an echo from the depths of hell. “You’ve challenged t

The Qi he released was so powerful that the air around him felt heavy and hot.He was Lei Zhang, the leader of the Red Cloud Sect—one of the most influential sects in the region.In his hand was a communication device that had just been used by his son, Lei Tian, now cracked and shattered.“Who dares do this…?” His voice was low, but full of terrifying rage.An elder cautiously stepped forward. “Master, based on the last message from Young Master, the perpetrator is a man named… Zhi Hao.”Lei Zhang’s eyes blazed with hatred. “Zhi Hao…”CRACK!The air trembled as Lei Zhang struck a stone pillar beside him. The pillar instantly cracked and crumbled into rubble.“Everyone… gather all the disciples an

    In the cloudy sky, the once quiet New City was now transformed into a battlefield. Shadows of red-cloaked figures leapt between the rooftops, surrounding a single point—the inn where Zhi Hao and his team were staying.BOOM!The first explosion shook the building next door, sending dust and splintered wood flying. Screams of terrified people echoed throughout the city. The citizens ran in panic, while the city guards dared not approach.Amidst the chaos, Zhi Hao stood in front of the inn, his sword drawn. Black 3 and Black 4 were by his side, while Ling Xue had already climbed to the rooftop, surveying the situation.“Have they lost their minds? Attacking the city so openly?” muttered Black 3.Black 4 smirked. “If they want to die for nothing, I have no objections to helping.”Zhi Hao remained silent. His sharp gaze focused on the figure hovering in the air—a young man in a red cloak adorned with golden flame patterns. His expression was one of arrogance, and behind him stood more than

    Zhi Hao and his team trudged through the dense forest, leaving Black Sky Mountain behind. The journey was silent, but the tension lingered. Ling Xue occasionally glanced back to ensure they weren’t being followed.“We’ll stop at New Town before deciding our next move,” Zhi Hao said after a while.Black 3 nodded. “Good. We also need time to prepare in case the Red Cloud Sect decides to strike.”After half a day’s travel, they finally reached New Town, a small trade hub bustling with activity. The streets were filled with merchants, buyers, and travelers. The lively hum of the marketplace was a stark contrast to the eerie silence of the forest they had just traversed.“We must stay vigilant,” Ling Xue said as she scanned the crowd. “A place like this is a haven for spies.”Zhi Hao nodded. “We’ll only stay briefly. Find an inn, gather supplies, and leave.”They entered a small inn at the edge of town. The owner, a friendly old man, greeted them warmly. After booking rooms, Zhi Hao laid o

    Zhi Hao and his team’s footsteps echoed along the long corridor leading to the Grand Hall of the Red Cloud Sect. The atmosphere was heavy, with the cold stone walls adorned with ancient carvings and dimly lit torches. Every corner of the corridor seemed to watch them, creating an invisible psychological pressure.Black 3 glanced around, his voice low but sharp. "This place is full of protective formations. One wrong move, and we’ll all be trapped."Zhi Hao kept walking calmly, his expression unchanged. "Exactly. We must stay composed. They're testing our resolve."Ling Xue, walking at the rear, clutched her cloak tightly. Her eyes scanned every detail around them. "If this meeting turns into a trap, I won’t let them lay a finger on the Solar Crystal," she said firmly.After several minutes, they reached a massive black wooden door adorned with carvings of red dragons. Two guards standing at the door silently pushed it open. As the door creaked, the hum of conversation within the hall

    Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of faint footsteps outside the cave. Ling Xue immediately stood, forming a seal with her hands. Zhi Hao gripped his Black Sword tightly, ready for a sudden attack.But what emerged from behind the curtain of roots wasn’t an enemy. A small bird with blue feathers and golden patterns on its wings flew inside, hovering in the air. The soft glow it emitted made the cave feel warmer.Ling Xue was startled. “That’s... a messenger bird from the Red Cloud Sect.”Zhi Hao eyed the bird with suspicion. “Have they finally tracked us down?”The bird floated in front of Zhi Hao and opened its beak, speaking in a whisper-like tone. “Zhi Hao, this is Young Master Lei from the Red Cloud Sect. I know you have the Solar Crystal. Come to Black Sky Mountain within three days. We can discuss cooperation. If you don’t…”The voice paused briefly, then turned cold and threatening. “...prepare to face the wrath of the entire sect.”The bird vanished as soon as it

    Clang!Black 3’s sword clashed against the spear of his opponent, sparks flying from the impact. “Too slow!” he taunted, spinning and driving his knee into the enemy’s stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground.On the other side, Black 4 charged forward, his fists colliding with his opponent’s shield in a thunderous blow.Bang!The force of the punch shattered the ground beneath them, forcing the enemy to stagger backward.Standing at the rear, Ling Xue’s expression was cold as ice. With a wave of her hand, she summoned a rain of ice spears that shot toward two of her enemies.Swish! Swish! Swish!The spears struck the ground, erupting into frozen explosions that froze everything within their reach. One of her enemies tried to escape, but a spear pierced his leg, rooting him in place.Meanwhile, Zhi Hao faced the woman with the purple sword.Clang!Clang!

  • Chapter 161: The Journey to Maturity

    Black 3 and Black 4 had cornered their two opponents. With perfect coordination, they attacked simultaneously, creating pressure their enemies couldn’t withstand. One enemy fell after the combined strike of Black 3's "Shadow Strike" and Black 4's "Thunderous Blow" smashed into his chest.Ling Xue, supporting from the rear, saw the enemy's defenses weakening. She created an even larger ice spear and hurled it at the last enemy attempting to escape. The spear struck the ground in front of him, sending a wave of frost that froze him in place, rendering him immobile.Zhi Hao noticed the battle was nearly over. Gathering all his strength into his Black Sword, he unleashed a crescent-shaped dark energy slash that sped toward the enemy leader.The leader attempted to block the attack, but his spear couldn’t withstand the full power of the strike. The weapon snapped in two, and the energy wave slammed into his body, throwing him several meters backward.The leader staggered to his feet, his f

    The morning breeze gently brushed Zhi Hao’s face, carrying the fresh scent of dew—a gift after a long and grueling journey. They had emerged from the Tomb of the Dragon and Phoenix, but the sense of relief lasted only a moment. Zhi Hao knew their struggles were far from over.The Solar Crystal in his grasp radiated a peculiar warmth, as if it were alive. Its aura felt like waves of power constantly flowing into his body. Ling Xue and the others stared at it with mixed expressions—admiration, weariness, and curiosity mingled in their gazes.“You know this will bring trouble, don’t you?” Ling Xue’s soft but concerned voice broke the silence.Zhi Hao nodded without hesitation. “I know. But this isn’t something we can just ignore. It’s far too valuable to fall into the wrong hands.”Black 3 stepped closer, scanning their surroundings. “I doubt this is over. If Young Master Huai made it out alive, he’ll surely come after us.”“He’ll make it out,” Black 4 said flatly. “People like him have

    The Dragon and Phoenix Palace stood majestically before them. Its grandeur was awe-inspiring, but the heavy aura emanating from within reminded Zhi Hao and his group that this was no ordinary palace. An ancient power resided here, waiting to test them.As they stepped inside, the grand main hall greeted them. At its center stood a massive altar, glowing with a dazzling golden light. Atop the altar rested a large golden crystal, radiating a searing heat that enveloped the entire room.“The Solar Crystal,” Ling Xue whispered, her eyes sparkling with awe. “This must be the core of this Tomb.”Black 3 stepped forward, but Zhi Hao quickly raised a hand to stop him. “Don’t act recklessly. This place is undoubtedly protected.”Qianlong’s voice echoed in his mind. “Indeed. The Solar Crystal is an artifact of immense power. Approaching it without completing the final trial will only bring destruction.”As if in response to this warning, the walls around them began to glow. The images of dragon
